Two days later, Xie Dong voluntarily surrendered. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Early that morning, Jiang Xing called Xie Dong, Xie Wen, Li Zheng and Li Cuizhi's eldest brother to the court and began the preliminary trial. Su Jinchun also stood on the side of the hall and listened to the case.

Jiang Xing was shocked and said in a deep voice: "The criminal, this official asks you, does the death of Li Cuizhi and Xu Qing have anything to do with you?" ”

Xie Dong admitted calmly: "Yes, Li Cuizhi and Xu Qing were indeed killed by the villain, and the villain confessed. ”

Jiang Xing didn't expect that Xie Dong directly admitted his crime. However, according to the law, even if the perpetrator himself admits the crime, he must pay attention to the complete human and material evidence, so Jiang Xing asked again: "Then why did you kill the two of them?" ”

Xie Dong explained: "At first, I didn't want to kill my mother, after all, the child is still young and needs to have a mother. But Xu Qing has bad intentions, always hooks up with my mother, when I and the child are at home, they don't care about shame, they close the door in the bedroom to do that, shouting and screaming, and the child also asked me why his mother is screaming, how can I speak? Therefore, I held a grudge and wanted to kill Xu Qing for a long time, but I happened to hear Xu Qing tell someone that on the night of May 19, he was going to the drunken red mansion to find him. Huan, so I lurked there early, and when I saw Xu Qing coming, I killed Xu Qing. ”

Jiang Xing Zhengse asked, "In that case, then what kind of tool did you use to kill you?" ”

Xie Dong said: "I was holding a dagger, and when it was dark, I rushed up and stabbed him in the neck, and then he fell to the ground, I stabbed him in the back a few times, and when I saw that he was completely out of breath, I quickly ran away." ”

Su Jinchun interjected: "Are you using your left hand or your right hand?" ”

Xie Dong replied in a deep voice: "Left hand, because I am more used to using my left hand." ”

Su Jinchun said in his heart: That's right, it seems that my guess is really right.

Jiang Xing continued to ask: "Since you killed someone on the night of May 19, when did Li Cuizhi die, and you sent your child to your brother's house at the evening of May 19, looking panicked, saying that Li Cuizhi returned to her parents' house, how can this be explained?" ”

Xie Dong's lips trembled slightly, as if he was ashamed to speak, and said slowly: "On the afternoon of May 19, Xu Qing came to my house again and did that with my wife, and left after it was over. At that time, I went to the field, and when I came back, the child told me that he saw Xu Qing and his mother naked, and Xu Qing was still pressing his mother, and his mother was screaming and laughing, and the child asked me what they were doing. I was angry at the time, Li Cuizhi didn't treat me as a human being, and he was ashamed to do that thing in front of the child, so he quarreled with Li Cuizhi. ”

Su Jinchun looked at it coldly, and when Xie Dong said these things, Li Cuizhi's eldest brother lowered his head and looked ashamed. Xie Wen had an angry look on his face, and he was calm, and he seemed to have a slight sympathy.

"Under the quarrel, you were so angry that you killed Li Cuizhi?" Su Jinchun asked out loud.

Xie Dong snorted and said, "At that time, I told Li Cuizhi that it would not affect Xu Qing to come to the house in the daytime. Come and spend the night in the evening, let him leave early in the morning. Li Cuizhi said that I have become a recognized king in the village, what kind of face do I need, and said that marrying a broken household like me who wants to have no looks and no money is wronged. Being able to give birth to a son for me is already considered to be a good thing for me, let me take care of his affairs. Li Cuizhi also said these things on weekdays, if it was just these, I wouldn't have killed him. What I can't bear the most is that Li Cuizhi laughed at me, saying that I was not a man, that I was a wreck, that I was not good, and that Xu Qing was a hundred times stronger than me, and that she was willing to sleep with Xu Qing, so she wanted me to be the eighth king. ”

Jiang Xing is also a man, so he can naturally understand Xie Dong's hatred at that time, his own lady slept with others openly and secretly, which is already unbearable, and he still does it in front of his children, and he has to say it openly afterwards, and most importantly, he can't actually laugh at his own man. The thing that men hate the most is that their own lady blatantly fornicates with others, and they have to laugh at themselves for not being able to do it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xing felt a trace of sympathy for Xie Dong, and thought: If I encounter such a thing, I'm afraid I will be so angry that I lose my mind, such a woman, such a pair of adulterers. Husband. Lewd. The woman is simply damned.

Even if emotionally, Jiang Xing is biased towards Xie Dong, but in terms of law, he still has to do business.

Su Jinchun asked a little embarrassed: "So, you lost your mind, and when you heard Li Cuizhi say that you can't do it, you were angry, so you tore her clothes, and then had sex with her, and after you were done, you killed her with a kitchen knife, didn't you?" ”

Xie Dong nodded, and said: "After killing her, I locked the door, sent the child to my brother's house, lied that Li Cuizhi had returned to her parents' house, and then went to kill Xu Qing." ”

Jiang Xing continued to ask: "When you sent the child, you told your brother about the murder?" ”

Xie Wen hurriedly said: "My lord, the little one doesn't know anything about this matter, Xie Dong didn't say anything about his murder at all." ”

Xie Dong said slowly: "My brother really doesn't know, I was afraid of affecting my brother, so I didn't tell him." After sending the child, I went to kill Xu Qing, and then thought that killing would pay for my life, and I would definitely not survive, so I planned to jump into the well and die. ”

Jiang Xing blurted out: "Then did you jump?" After saying this, Jiang Xing felt that he was really stupid to ask, if Xie Dong really jumped into the well and died, then who was kneeling in the hall?

Xie Dong replied: "No, I killed Xu Qing, ran back to Zhuangzi, walked to the well platform, and was about to jump down, when it suddenly occurred to me that there was only this draft well in Zhuangzi." I thought that if I died in this well, then the people in the village would not be able to drink water, and maybe the sturdy men of the whole village would have to dig another well. So, I left Zhuangzi, and there was nowhere to go, so I lived in a ruined temple for two days, and after thinking about it, I killed someone, and after all, I couldn't escape death, so I turned myself in. ”

Su Jinchun sighed with emotion: Although this person is a murderer, he is so loyal and honest, he is going to die, and he can still think that others will be inconvenient because of this, and he is kind-hearted. And he also took the initiative to turn himself in and confess his crimes, which is impressive.

Thinking of Li Cuizhi and Xu Qing's affair, as well as innocent children, Su Jinchun actually came up with an idea: the criminals who kill people are not necessarily the real bad people, and the people who are often killed are innocent.

Jiang Xing was shocked, and said with a straight face: "Although your testimony is consistent with the results of the autopsy, according to the law, this case still needs human and physical evidence, such as daggers and kitchen knives are all physical evidence, and you said that Xu Qing had an affair with your mother-in-law, so he killed people in a fit of anger, and this also requires human evidence." If there is a reason for the incident, the judge will sentence him at his discretion. ”

At this time, I only heard Li Zheng speak: "Li Cuizhi and Xu Qing's fornication, everyone in Zhuangzi knows, I can testify." ”

Jiang Xing said in a deep voice: "Your testimony can only be used as a reference, even if everyone in the village says that Li Cuizhi and Xu Qing had an affair, it may be just rumors, after all, seeing is believing." Therefore, this case needs a witness who can really prove the fornication of the two before it can be decided. ”
