Chapter 120: Human Nature

Sun Jianguo, who had never opened his mouth, also said: "Yes, put aside these messy things, you see that this case is very simple, it is a murder and dismemberment case, but if the grievances of the case are really formed from thirty years ago, because the time is too long, there is no way to investigate how they criticized and fought back then." ”

"In addition, the cause of the case is not necessarily thirty years ago, maybe it was accumulated while working in the Dafeng factory, and it is not good to say, tomorrow let the three groups dig deep into their connections, and who they have had a dispute with, and all of them will be investigated."

I wrote it down: "Understood, I'll go and inform the person in charge of the three groups in a moment." ”

Sun Jianguo lay on the chair again, and looked out the window with his eyes a little wandering: "This case reminds me of a case more than ten years ago, these two cases are similar, but the case at that time was closed due to some factors, and now I am afraid there is no hope of overturning the case." ”

"It seems to be 20 years ago, the person who died unjustly is called Lu Jinfeng, Lu Jinfeng's life is miserable, not long after she was born, her father and grandfather died in two accidents one after another, so she was identified by her family and villagers as a "disaster star", and was almost buried alive by her family several times. Later, he was desperately saved by his mother, but he was discriminated against and abused in his childhood. In 1978, her mother also died of illness, and her grief-stricken stepfather and uncle beat her out of the house with sticks, and no one in the village dared to take her in. She was 13 years old. ”

In order to survive, Lu Jinfeng had to embark on the road of wandering and begging. In 1979, Lu Jinfeng was bitten by a hotel security guard while picking up leftovers in a garbage dump outside a restaurant on the outskirts of Yuncheng, and fainted on the side of the road due to excessive bleeding. When the hotel manager Ma saw that she was a little beautiful, he carried her back for treatment, and then used violent means to force her to engage in prostitution. In 1981, the anti-pornography and anti-illegal activities were launched nationwide, and Ma's restaurant was sealed, except for Ma's escape, Lu Jinfeng and several other prostitutes were arrested red-handed. Lu Jinfeng was sentenced to one year of re-education through labor and sent to the Weinan Labor Reform Farm to serve his sentence for reform. He was released from prison in 1982 and returned to his place of origin for supervision. Because they were afraid that the "disaster star" would bring disaster again, the villagers encouraged his stepfather to marry Lu Jinfeng as soon as possible. It happened that his stepfather had a distant relative, Li Moumou, who lived in Xiling Village, Qingyang County, Shaanxi Province, and had suffered from disability since he was a child, and was poor and had no wife. ”

The father accepted a bride price of 1,000 yuan from the Li family and sent someone to forcibly escort Lu Jinfeng to Xiling to Li Moumou. The Li family is destitute, Li Moumou is paralyzed in bed all the year round, unable to take care of food and clothing, and relies on his mother to take care of housework, but he is honest and introverted, and Lu Jinfeng, who accepts his fate, decides to serve Li Moumou with peace of mind. But the good times didn't last long, there was a bully Hu in the same village, who usually ran rampant in the township, and when he saw Lu Jinfeng's beauty, he had evil intentions and wanted to occupy him. Under Hu's obscenity, the Li family dared to be angry and did not dare to speak. Although Lu Jinfeng begged hard, he was still sold to Hu for 2,000 yuan to enjoy. Hu was born violent and alcoholic, and every time he was drunk, he would beat Lu Jinfeng violently every time he was drunk. From 1982 to 1983, Lu Jinfeng looked for opportunities to escape many times because he could not bear Hu's abuse and abuse, but was arrested and beaten each time. Hu even made a pair of 5-kilogram iron shackles to lock Lu Jinfeng at home for a long time. At the beginning of 1984, Lu Jinfeng tried to escape again, but was chased by Hu and others for several kilometers and then broke his right leg, and has been confined to the bed with iron locks ever since. ”

A few weeks later, Hu went out to do business, and entrusted his cousins Tang and Guan to watch over Lu Jinfeng before leaving. The two took the opportunity to force Lu Jinfeng many times, causing her to become pregnant. Tang was recently widowed, and because the child might be his own, he promised Lu Jinfeng that he would pay Hu a certain compensation in exchange for her freedom, and gather her as his wife, so that Lu Jinfeng had a glimmer of hope. ”

At the end of 1984, Lu Jinfeng gave birth to a baby boy in the Tang family. In the Spring Festival of 1985, Hu returned to his hometown for the holiday, Tang was afraid, but still sent Lu Jinfeng and the child back, and insisted that the child had nothing to do with him. Hu was extremely angry, stripped Lu Jinfeng naked, tied her hands behind her back, hung her hands on a tree, and stabbed her thigh and lower body with a knife to torture the "adulterer", and tortured her to death. That night, Tang and Guan were afraid of their lives and came to persuade them, but they were chased and slashed by Hu with a knife in anger, resulting in the death of the two. At dawn the next day, Hu, who was very drunk, was relieved of Lu Jinfeng, who was dying of freezing, dragged into the house and beat him again until he fell into a coma, and then he fell asleep hatefully. ”

After Lu Jinfeng woke up, his flesh and blood were blurred, and the pain was unbearable, but he found that his son had been strangled to death by the ruthless Hu, and for a while he was like thunder, filled with grief and anger, despair, and lost his mind, so he used all his strength to take a sickle and slash at the sleeping Hu, causing his death and setting fire to the house. When the fire broke out, the villagers rushed to put out the fire and found Lu Jinfeng, covered in blood, sitting on the ground with a knife, while Tang, Guan and Hu were all hacked to death. The crowd was shocked, and the angry crowd tied up Lu Jinfeng, beat him, and handed him over to the public security department. ”

This case was listed as a major case in Qingyang County in 1985, and Lu Jinfeng was arrested in March 1985. After interrogation, the offender confessed to the crime. The Qingyang County People's Court held that although the Lu prisoner suffered a tragic and lamentable situation, she was a person released from re-education through labor, she was still under supervision, the facts of the murder were clear, the law was ruthless, and she was in the midst of a severe crackdown, so all the crimes were aggravated and should be sentenced to death. Lu appealed, but it was rejected and he was sentenced to death. ”

"When I heard about this case at that time, my first reaction was: Is this society ruled by law or by man? It's too unsympathetic, and then I think about it, I don't have the ability to care about such a thing, it's good to think about Lu Jinfeng's death, a woman with a tragic fate like her should stay away from this sick society, and it is a torture to continue to stay in such a society. ”

"Compared with 20 years ago, the current society has changed a lot, at least there will never be such a case again, in front of the law, I think the current society has almost taken into account human nature, which was unimaginable 20 years ago."

"I don't know if the murderer was a victim who was criticized by Du Xianchao and Guo Da thirty years ago, what kind of hatred can make a person not forget in the past thirty years, unlike imagination, I can't imagine, I hope the murderer is not a victim of their criticism back then, otherwise after being caught, I am afraid it will cause a new round of public opinion in society, and it will be troublesome to deal with it then."

When I heard about such a case when I joined the work a year ago, I might have felt like an angry youth, but now I hear that I can't say anything other than sighing that I was born at the wrong time, and the past events cannot be changed by future generations, and even if the court changes the verdict, it cannot bring people back to life.

Just like Sun Jianguo said, if the murderer in this case is really a victim of the movement 30 years ago, and then it will be a tricky case, at this time I really hope that the murderer is a worker of the Dafeng factory, because of the grievances accumulated on weekdays, and the case was committed.

Sun Jianguo sat upright, looked at the three of us seriously and said: "This case, treat it carefully, don't close the case easily without direct evidence, don't wronged the good people, don't let the wicked go, I can't control other places, but on the one-third of an acre of land in Songhai, I don't allow such a thing to happen." ”

"Understood!"

Handing over the information to Sun Jianguo, Wu Shuangshuang walked out of the office, and then I suddenly remembered what Zhang Bin said before about the difference in the time of death by one day, so I asked: "Vice captain, how did the inconsistent time of the corpse be solved in the end?" I heard Brother Bin say that the result I got at the beginning, the biggest difference in the time of death, what is going on? ”

Sun Jianguo lit a cigarette and explained slowly: "The pony is not good at learning, because most of the corpses have maggots on them, and the number of maggots is not the same, resulting in different biological indicators of the corpses, which leads to the inconsistency of the time of death. ”

"I see, I was shocked to hear it at the time, and I thought that the deceased had been chopped off piece by piece, and it lasted for a day."

Zhang Bin interjected on the side: "How is it possible, if it is really like what you said, people have already burped due to excessive blood loss, how can they live to a day." ”

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, hurry back and rest, there are a lot of things to do tomorrow, leave the two of you down today, just want to tell the two of you things, bring the newcomer, the second is to deal with this case carefully, but the facts are the facts, if the murderer is the victim thirty years ago, we must also arrest the person, we can't let him kill because he is the victim, this is a society under the rule of law, not martial arts, there is revenge, there is revenge, there is revenge. At that time, it is the court's business to decide how to decide, and our duty is to maintain public order and arrest the murderer. ”

After Sun Jianguo finished speaking, he waved his hand to let the two of us leave, Zhang Bin and I looked at each other, and felt that it was okay to stay, so we were about to leave, and when we just walked to the door, I saw Wu Shuangshuang running over panting.

Zhang Bin asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" So panicked? ”

Wu Shuangshuang gasped and said: "The identity of Lao Zhang, the dormitory administrator, has been found out, and the household registration information shows that he is from Lousun Village, and his previous family members died from 1970 to 1974, including his son also disappeared during this time period." ”

I couldn't help but ask, "What's that?" Lao Zhang is from Lousun Village? ”

"That's right! This is information that has just been discovered. ”

Looking back at Sun Jianguo who was sitting in the chair, he was staring at this side, and the few of us didn't move, completely shocked by this news, in this way, the possibility of Lao Zhang committing a crime is almost a sure thing, which is also the last thing we want to see.

After more than ten seconds like this, Sun Jianguo slowly spoke: "What are you doing there?" Show me the information. ”

Wu Shuangshuang trotted two steps to hand over the information in his hand, Sun Jianguo opened it and swept his eyes, and read word by word: "Zhang Lei, 58 years old, a former native of Lousun Village, Songhai City, moved his household registration to Chengdong District, Songhai City in 1978, and has been working in Dafeng Factory since 1979. His parents hanged themselves in their home in 1970, his wife committed suicide by jumping into a river in 1971, and his son went missing in the village in 1974 and his whereabouts are still unknown. ”

When reading this, Sun Jianguo paused and didn't read it again, read the following pages with a complicated face, and finally threw the information on the table, rubbed his temples and said: "Xiao Xu, take Zhang Lei to the police station for interrogation early tomorrow morning, and let him be free for another night tonight." ”

My nose was a little sore, but I still answered, "Yes!" ”

Zhang Bin patted me on the shoulder, pursed his mouth and smacked his tongue: "Let's go, there is no absolute evidence in the case so far, everything is hard to say, if you can't figure it out, Zhang Lei is not a murderer, the deputy captain asked you to bring someone back not to hand him over to the court for trial, but to do things according to the process, if he is not guilty, he should still be released when the time comes." ”

"You may still encounter such a thing in the future, everyone is equal before the law, although sometimes human nature can also affect the outcome of the trial, but that's not something we have to think about, just like the deputy captain said, we are just responsible for arresting and doing our job."
