Filial piety comes first, and evil dies first.

When Xue Sheng's case entered the judicial process, Xu Lang came to the Public Security Bureau to inquire about the details, and a pair of octogenarians came to the Public Security Bureau tremblingly on crutches, saying that they had killed someone and surrendered, and this day was July 23, eight o'clock in the morning.

It was Zhao Hua who received the two old men, at the beginning, Zhao Hua heard the two old men say this, Zhao Hua didn't believe it, after all, the two old men were old, it seemed that they would fall down as soon as the wind blew, how could they kill people, but Zhao Hua still inquired about the rules and regulations.

After some inquiry, I learned that the old man's name is Cao Kangping, 82 years old this year, and the eldest lady's name is Xie Lianhan, 75 years old this year, both of them are farmers in a rural village on the outskirts of S City, they have been walking and asking questions since 4 o'clock in the morning, and they came to the S City Public Security Bureau to surrender themselves, and they said that the person who killed them was none other than their 42-year-old son Cao Xingwang, and the body is now in their house, and the murderer is Cao Xingwang's old father Cao Kangping.

After Zhao Hua listened, he immediately made a report to Ning Yanran, Ning Yanran listened, and immediately asked Zhao Hua to take someone to the scene to see, in view of the advanced age of the two old people, they walked for four hours, and stayed at the Public Security Bureau, and by the way, they also asked people to go outside to buy breakfast and send it to the two old men.

Xue Sheng's case has entered the judicial process, and Xu Lang has nothing to do, so he followed Zhao Hua to the homes of the two old men.

Zhao Hua and Xu Lang first drove to the village chief's house in Caojiazhuang and found the village head, Cao Xiangwen, who is in his 40s this year, a native of Caojiazhuang, and has been the village chief for more than ten years.

Zhao Hua didn't say too much to Cao Xiangwen, and directly asked Cao Xiangwen to take them to Cao Kangping's house.

Cao Xiangwen just saw Zhao Hua in police uniform and Xu Lang in civilian clothes, as well as a few policemen parked outside, so when Zhao Hua was going to Cao Kangping's house, Cao Xiangwen thought that Cao Kangping's 'bandit' son Cao Xingwang had committed another crime, Cao Xiangwen was not surprised by this, and while leading the way, he said to Zhao Hua: "A few police officers, you are here to find bandits." ”

"Bandits?"

When Cao Xiangwen said the word bandits, Xu Lang and Zhao Hua both froze, Xu Lang pondered for a while, and asked, "There are bandits in Caojiazhuang?" ”

Cao Xiangwen saw that Xu Lang and Zhao Hua were looking at him with puzzled expressions, Cao Xiangwen explained with a smile: "It's not really a bandit, aren't you going to my second uncle's house, my second uncle has a lone seedling son named Cao Xingwang, this child usually doesn't study well, always does some illegal things, and harms the villagers, we call him a bandit in private." ”

Hearing Cao Xiangwen say this, Xu Lang touched his chin and asked, "Cao Kangping is your second uncle?" ”

Cao Xiangwen nodded and said: "Yes, most of the people who live in Caojiazhuang are surnamed Cao, although Cao Kangping is not my second uncle, but according to the seniority in the village, I should call him the second uncle." ”

"You tell us about Cao Xingwang in detail." Xu Lang said.

Cao Kangping's home is in the westernmost part of Caojiazhuang, and the entrance of the village is in the easternmost part of Caojiazhuang, so it will take a while to go out, so Cao Xiangwen simply told Xu Lang and them about Cao Xingwang.

Cao Xingwang is forty-two years old this year, Cao Xiangwen's second uncle, that is, Cao Kangping's child at the age of forty, and also the only seedling of their family, only at the age of forty to have a child, which is considered an old child in the countryside, Cao Kangping and his wife are naturally very spoiled by this child, usually what is still eaten at home, and what is still used, are given to Cao Xingwang, Cao Xingwang, who grew up in this doting environment, naturally often does some bad things.

When Cao Xingwang was eight years old, he took the firecrackers at home during the New Year, threw firecrackers at the women's toilet, and scared a few girls who were three or four years older than him into crying inside, and later other people in the village heard the children's crying and rushed over, only to report a few children out of the women's toilet, because of this incident, the parents of several children also found Cao Xingwang's home, Cao Kangping is a well-known honest man in the village, honest and honest, and kind, so when the parents of these children found Cao Kangping, Cao Kangping and his wife apologized and apologized to them, because it was the Chinese New Year, everyone didn't want to make too much trouble, and besides, their children were fine, so they left one after another, and Cao Kangping and his wife only said a few words about their son, and the matter passed.

If it is said that throwing firecrackers at the women's toilet is scary, it is because Cao Xingwang is still young, ignorant and naughty, then later, after Cao Xingwang grew up, he did evil in the village and harmed the villagers.

Stealing other people's chickens, ducks and fish, melons, fruits and vegetables in the field, lying on the wall of the widow's house, knocking on other people's doors in the middle of the night, these are all things that Cao Xingwang often did before he was fifteen years old.

Children do these things, once or twice, everyone still thinks that children are ignorant, naughty, and it would be good to wait for them to be older, but they can't stand being trick-or-treating, so many people in the village don't let their children play with Cao Xingwang, which also makes Cao Xingwang start to harm other classmates in school.

At that time, the rural people were very poor, and they usually couldn't see any money, and the children went to school with home-cooked meals, and the snacks were some dried sweet potatoes and other broken mouths, Cao Xingwang asked these children for these.

After all, the junior high school school is in the county, and the children live in the school, and the parents are afraid that the children will not be able to eat enough at school and not wear well, after all, the twelve or thirteen-year-old children will give the children a few cents of change when they are growing up, so they will usually buy some snacks, and Cao Xingwang also went to junior high school at that time, and he often was on Sunday nights. Go to each dormitory to collect protection money, if you give it, it's okay, if you don't give it, then you will suffer a punch and kick from him, and the twelve or thirteen-year-old child can withstand this, so he naturally gives it obediently.

If collecting protection money is nothing, Cao Xingwang's academic performance is good, after some education, it is fine, but Cao Xingwang has not liked to study since he was a child, but it is not that he is stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart, when he was in elementary school, his grades were very good, many things, the teacher said it again, he would, but he was playful and liked to be naughty.

After junior high school, Cao Xingwang felt that it was not interesting to just collect the protection money of these children, he saw the teacher's bicycles parked in the parking lot, he thought about stealing these bicycles, and then took them out and sold them for money, Cao Xingwang thought so, he also did so, first stole a few bicycles that were often unlocked, and after selling them, he ate and drank outside the school, and it was at that time that he learned to smoke and drink.

Once, when Cao Xingwang stole a car at night, he was seen by the director of their school, at that time, stealing was a big crime, so the teacher called Cao Kangping to the school, the school was originally going to let Cao Xingwang drop out, but Cao Kangping was already in his fifties at that time, rural people have been farming for a long time, and they are naturally very old, Cao Kangping's hair was already gray at that time, and his waist was slightly rickety. Probation.

Cao Xingwang after this incident, not only did he not reform, on the contrary, he also became more serious, since the bicycle could not be stolen, then he began to steal some of the school's equipment, at first others did not suspect much, but after a long time, others found out, but there is no direct evidence that Cao Xingwang stole it, so Cao Xingwang mixed in junior high school for three years.

After graduating from junior high school, Cao Xingwang was not admitted to high school, so Cao Xingwang returned to Caojiazhuang, because Cao Xingwang graduated from junior high school and was less than fifteen years old, still underage, and no one wanted to go out to work, so he stayed in Caojiazhuang, Cao Xingwang didn't matter when he came back, in Cao Xingwang's three years of junior high school, Caojiazhuang finally lived a peaceful life, with Cao Xingwang's return, he became a chicken and dog jumping again, at this time Cao Xingwang was already a fifteen-year-old child, no longer an ignorant child, So some elders in the village persuaded Cao Xingwang, but Cao Xingwang not only didn't listen, but also didn't change, on the contrary, whoever persuaded him, he specifically harmed his family, just like that, no one dared to persuade him anymore.

Cao Xingwang did evil in Caojiazhuang for more than half a year, and after the little savings that Cao Kangping and his wife had worked hard to accumulate were squandered by him smoking, drinking, playing cards, Cao Xingwang left Caojiazhuang and went to the city, this year, Cao Xingwang was just sixteen years old.

Cao Xingwang didn't learn well when he entered the city, followed a group of ruffians and hooligans to get together, every day in Mirbrasir mixed life, at the beginning, Cao Xingwang still had some money on him, but he couldn't stand Cao Xingwang's blind toss, and it didn't take long for Cao Xingwang to run out of money, what should I do if I have no money? Just go to steal, a few ruffians and hooligans combined, and began to steal in S City, at the beginning, they only stole some cash, mainly near the train station and bus station, but it didn't take long for this kind of day to end, because, they committed crimes at the train station and bus station, which are places with a large flow of people, and were soon noticed by the police in S City, and it didn't take long for them to be lived in the Public Security Bureau when they were stealing.

They were all minors, the oldest was only 17 years old, the youngest was only 15 years old, and they were first-time offenders, so after the public security organs criticized and educated them, they contacted their families and asked them to take them back to their homes.

After Cao Xingwang returned to Caojiazhuang, not only did he not restrain himself because of the education of the public security organs, on the contrary, after he returned to Caojiazhuang, he began to Huo Huo again, stealing this family's bacon today, stealing that family's food tomorrow, if it was just stealing, he also Huohuo's food, one of which was a resident's house, finally collected the grain, just took advantage of the sun, exposed to the sun for a few days, after the grain was dried, it was put into the barrel, at night, Cao Xingwang went to the family's house, not only stole a big bag of grain, It's not a sin to pee and in it.

Soon, the next day, people found Cao Xingwang's home, looking for Cao Kangping theory, Cao Xingwang was at home at the time, not only did he not feel that he had done anything wrong, he also went to the kitchen to get a sharpened kitchen knife, came to the family, put the knife on the neck, and forced them to ask them, does this matter have anything to do with him?

The people who live in Caojiazhuang are all natives of the countryside, where have I seen such a person, who was put on the neck with a knife, the male owner of the family, had to accompany the smiling face, said that it was not him, and then walked away, that night, the family's house was on fire, and the family was Cao Xingwang Huo Huo before, and they didn't sleep very deeply at night, so when the fire didn't take long for them to wake up, and then they ran out, although the person ran out and was not injured, but his house became a ruin, behind him, the family, did not continue to stay in Caojiazhuang, but left Caojiazhuang.

In fact, the family left early, it was lucky, in the next few years, Cao Xingwang was completely a tyrant in Caojiazhuang, and sneaking was commonplace, and later it was directly changed to robbery, and Caojiazhuang's Huohuo was enough to choke, and the people in Caojiazhuang called Cao Xingwang a bandit in Caojiazhuang, and the name 'bandit' spread in Caojiazhuang at this time.

When Cao Xingwang was seventeen years old, he raped an eighteen-year-old girl in Caojiazhuang on the way back from school, and afterwards, the girl ran home and cried to her parents.

Cao Xingwang has been running for three years, and as for what he has done outside and what he has done in the past three years, Cao Xiangwen is not very clear.

Speaking of which, a group of people came to Cao Kangping's door, when Xu Lang saw Cao Kangping's home, they were very surprised, the old-fashioned adobe tile house, the house is not very big, the paintings pasted on the two doors at the door have long been mottled, it seems that the painting has been pasted for some years, the door shaft of the door has traces of repair, the appearance is still very new, it should have been damaged by external forces, there is a padlock in the middle of the door, the lock is locked, Zhao Hua looked at Xu Lang, Xu Lang nodded.

Zhao Hua found a wire from the side of a house, then took the wire and inserted it into the lock and shook it, and the lock was opened.

After the door opened, Zhao Hua pushed the door open, Cao Xiangwen just wanted to go in, but was pulled by Zhao Hua, and then Zhao Hua took out gloves and shoe covers and put them on, and handed Xu Lang and Cao Xiangwen a pair by the way.

After Xu Lang dressed neatly, he walked into the house, and entered the hall house, although it was daytime, the light in the hall was still a little dim, Xu Lang walked in, and smelled a strong smell of blood, Xu Lang looked around, on the ground of the hall, and saw a man with his face facing the ground lying on the ground, and a large pool of blood flowed under the man, and the blood had already dried up, because Cao Kangping's home was not a cement floor, but a muddy ground.

Xu Lang first walked over, squatted next to the man, stretched out his hand, and touched the man's neck, after a while, Xu Lang found that the man's body was cold, there was no pulse, it seemed that he had been dead for a while, not far from the corpse, there were two hammers, one large and one small, a small crane's beak hammer, there was a ball of blood at one end of the hammer, but the area was not large, and next to the small hammer, there was a big hammer, which was a hammer used to smash stones, and the hammer was covered with bloodstains.

Xu Lang looked at the two hammers, and then looked at the back of the deceased's head, and found that the back of the deceased's head had been dented, and he should have been killed by the hammer.

Not far from the corpse and the hammer, there were two chairs, a small bench, a small wooden basin, the small bench had been turned on its side on the ground, the small wooden basin was upside down on the ground, and around the small wooden basin, the ground was a little wetter than the rest of the place, and it seemed that this wooden basin had once contained a basin of water, and other than that, nothing else had been found.

Because of the appearance of the corpse, Zhao Hua and the others immediately blocked the scene, followed by the police, immediately entered the scene to investigate, and called Cao Xiangwen in.

After the staff took pictures of the corpse and drew lines, they turned the deceased's body over, Zhao Hua pointed to the deceased's face and asked, "Do you recognize this person?" ”

When Cao Xiangwen first came in, he was startled when he saw a corpse lying on the ground, and thought that the deceased was his second uncle Cao Kangping or his second aunt Xie Lianhan, but he didn't expect that after the corpse turned over, it was actually the son of the old couple, Cao Xingwang.

"He... He... He is Cao Xingwang. Cao Xiangwen stretched out his hand and pointed to the corpse tremblingly, and said in a stammering voice.

After hearing that the deceased was Cao Xingwang, Xu Lang and Zhao Hua glanced at each other, both of them understood each other's hearts, if the deceased was really Cao Xingwang, then Cao Kangping and Xie Lianhan were right, as for whether the deceased was killed by their old couple, further investigation is needed.

After Xu Lang and the others determined the identity of the deceased, they asked the body to be wrapped and carried out, and immediately sent it to the Public Security Bureau for forensic Ye Xuefei to conduct an autopsy, and at the same time asked the trace examiner to conduct a careful investigation of the scene, while Xu Lang took the village head Cao Xiangwen out of Cao Kangping's house.

After the two of them walked out of the scene of the crime, Xu Lang took out a cigarette case, took out two cigarettes from it, handed one to Cao Xiangwen, and lit a cigarette himself.

Because Xu Lang and the others drove a police car to the village, and so many people came here at once, many people in Caojiazhuang came out and gathered in front of Cao Kangping's house to watch the excitement, pointing and talking about it.

"Did the bandits do something again this time?"

"Definitely, otherwise why would there be so many policemen?"

"These policemen don't seem to be county police, they seem to be from the city?"

"Yes, you see, the village chief is smoking there."

"yes, what are they carrying? How do you look like a person? ”

"That's people, you see that's arms, that's legs."

"The bandits won't have killed the second uncle, right?"

"Quite possibly, this kind of thing is also done by bandits."

"Oh, what a wickedness."

"Who's to say it isn't."

“......”

Listening to the discussion of the onlookers around him, Xu Lang looked at them, and then spit out a smoke ring and looked at Cao Xiangwen.

When Cao Xiangwen determined that the deceased was not Cao Kangping or Xie Lianhan, but Cao Xingwang, Cao Xiangwen exhaled a long breath, he did not feel any surprise at Cao Xingwang's death, nor did he show any sympathetic eyes, on the contrary, Cao Xiangwen naturally revealed a disgust and even a spitting expression after seeing Cao Xingwang's corpse, There was also a sense of relief in his eyes, which made Xu Lang a little curious.

According to what Cao Xiangwen said about Cao Xingwang before, although Cao Xingwang did evil in Caojiazhuang and harmed the township, but the crime did not lead to death, could it be that Cao Xingwang's death, what is there hidden in it, thinking of this, Xu Lang asked Cao Xiangwen: "Where were you last night?" ”

Cao Xiangwen was smoking, and when he heard Xu Lang ask, he first paused for a moment, raised his head, looked at Xu Lang puzzled, and then said, "Watching TV at home, what's wrong?" ”

"Who can prove it to you?" Xu Lang looked at Cao Xiangwen's eyes and asked.

Cao Xiangwen smacked a cigarette in his mouth, stretched out a hand, scratched his head, and showed an embarrassed expression on his face, then thought about it and said, "Ergou, Ergou can prove that I'm at home." ”

"Who is Ergou?" Xu Lang continued to ask.

Cao Xiangwen first swept around the crowd, then pointed to a young man in his twenties and said, "He is Ergou." ”

After Cao Xiangwen finished speaking, he shouted to Ergou not far away: "Ergou, come here." ”

The young man who was called Ergou by Cao Xiangwen, after hearing Cao Xiangwen's shout, instinctively raised his head and looked at Xu Lang and them, and then saw Cao Xiangwen waving at him, and Ergou walked over.

"Master, what are you telling me to do?" Ergou walked over, looked at Cao Xiangwen and asked, with a dissatisfied look on his face, obviously for Cao Xiangwen calling him Ergou in front of outsiders, making him lose face.

Indeed, it is now the twenty-first century, and he is called by a nickname in front of outsiders, and the nickname is still so ugly, he is a young man, so he is naturally unhappy.

"You're the second dog?" Xu Lang looked at the young man standing in front of him.

The young man is very thin, about one hundred and twenty pounds, dark skin, wearing a beige vest, a big pants on the lower body, handmade cloth shoes on his feet, the young man's exposed arms are full of muscles, when he was questioned by Xu Lang, his hands were unconsciously rubbed, and there were calluses on his hands.

Ergou raised his head, glanced at Xu Lang, then pouted and said, "My name is Xie Hongyi, Ergou is my nickname, who are you?" ”

After speaking, Ergou looked at Xu Lang provocatively.
