Chapter 16: Homicide from more than 30 years ago
"He asked me to help him investigate a homicide from more than 30 years ago. www.biquge.info"When Mu Zihan said this, even he himself had a wry smile on his face, and of course I couldn't close my mouth in surprise.
Not to mention that Mu Zihan at that time did not have the current criminal investigation ability at all, even if Mu Zihan is now, if he wants to track down the case that happened more than 30 years ago, it is estimated that it will be difficult, and it is very likely that he will end up in failure.
Moreover, from another point of view, even if Mu Zihan really found the murderer of the homicide more than 30 years ago, it would be useless, because as far as I know, the legal prosecution period for homicide cases is only 20 years.
Thinking of the prosecution period, I couldn't help but ask, "So, was that case investigated in the first place?" ”
After all, according to the law, the time limit for prosecution of homicide is twenty years. However, the premise is that it means that the murderer did kill someone, but the judicial organ did not file a case, so this statute of limitations applies. However, once the judicial organ files a case, it is no longer subject to the limitation of this statute of limitations, and can be prosecuted for life.
"Hell knows, I still don't know if there's a case filed." Mu Zihan spread his hands and said, "However, according to my speculation, it is estimated that there is none." ”
"I still don't know? What's going on? Did you end up refusing his request because it was too difficult? I asked, surprised.
After all, if Mu Zihan really wants to investigate that case, the fastest way for him to obtain information related to the case is the police, and the question of whether or not to file a case can be found at the police station.
"Are you really a pig? If I had refused or failed to do so, how could I have found Snake Village later? It's just that due to my own situation at the time, it was impossible to go to the police station to check the information, so I used other methods. Mu Zihan said angrily: "It's just that there is actually another hidden story in this matter, and in retrospect, that case can be regarded as a sad story." ”
When he said this, I remembered that it was indeed too late for Mu Zihan to hide from the police at that time, how could he go to the police station to obtain case information. Hey, it's no wonder that he counted me down, I actually forgot such an important point.
However, obviously Mu Zihan didn't really care about this, and when I was embarrassed by what he said, he began to talk about what happened after that time.
According to Mu Zihan's description of the resentful soul, even the resentful soul himself can't remember the specific time of the case, but he only remembers that not long after the reform and opening up, when the whole country was putting things in order and rehabilitating those revolutionary ancestors who were framed by the Gang of Four during the Cultural Revolution.
"That means that the case happened almost forty years ago." I said in amazement.
For Mu Zihan, who had no experience in criminal investigation at that time, this kind of case was as difficult as asking a kindergarten student to solve a calculus problem.
"Don't interrupt." Mu Zihan finished impatiently and continued his topic.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
According to the memories of his life remaining in the mind of the resentful soul, his name before his death was Shi Guodong.
In Shi Guodong's memory, that incident happened not long after he got engaged to his sweetheart Li Xiaofang.
That day, Shi Guodong had just finished his work in the field and went home with a hoe, when he suddenly saw Li Xiaofang, who was supposed to be at home with shoe soles, and ran towards him with a look of excitement.
"What's wrong? Why are you so busy? Li Guodong put down the hoe pillar on the ground and called Li Xiaofang to ask.
"Guodong, come along, I heard that Jianhua made a lot of money in the provincial capital and came back, and it seems that he still came back by car. Now the people of the village are rushing there. Li Xiaofang usually doesn't talk much, and she is also very introverted, although the two have been engaged under the discussion of their parents, but this is the first time Shi Guodong has seen her so happy.
Moreover, in fact, after listening to Li Xiaofang's words, Shi Guodong himself was also excited.
You must know that the Jianhua who came back from making a lot of money in the provincial capital in Li Xiaofang's mouth is Shi Jianhua, that is, Shi Guodong's cousin, who is only one year old apart from Shi Guodong, and is his best playmate since childhood.
When he was in the production team, because Shi Jianhua was thin and had little strength, he was always bullied, but Shi Guodong helped him every time, so the relationship between the two has always been very good.
Later, after the reform and opening up, Shi Jianhua couldn't stand the hardships of farming, so he discussed with Shi Guodong and wanted the two of them to go to the provincial capital to do business together.
However, Shi Guodong is a farmer who does his duty, and he also has the strength to help his own land, he doesn't want to take risks, he just wants to farm and support his family.
In the end, Shi Jianhua couldn't convince Shi Guodong, so he had to go to the provincial capital alone.
Several years have passed in a flash, and there has been no news of Shi Jianhua all these years, and he has not even come back for the Spring Festival and the New Year, and the people in the village have been spreading that Shi Jianhua had an accident outside and will not come back.
These gossips made Shi Guodong very worried, and even came up with the idea of going to the provincial capital to find Shi Jianhua several times. However, when I thought that I had never been to the provincial city and was unfamiliar with the place, even if I went, I probably wouldn't be able to find it, so I suppressed this thought again and again.
Unexpectedly, when I heard the news of Shi Jianhuarong's return to his hometown today, how could I make Shi Guodong unhappy and excited? So, without saying a word, he directly carried the hoe and went straight to Shi Jianhua's house with Li Xiaofang.
When they came to the dilapidated old house of Shi Jianhua's house, the sunning field in front of the house was already full of people, and Shi Jianhua, who had not seen him for many years, although his figure still looked thin, he was wearing a straight Mao suit and combing his hair in a shiny suit, and the whole person looked very spiritual.
Especially the bicycle parked on the side of the valley, the cluster is new and shiny, and many people in the village who see it have straight eyes, and many people can't help but secretly touch this rare thing.
Seeing Shi Jianhua's current appearance, he looked back at his two barefoot mud legs, dirty all over his body, and carrying a hoe full of dirt on his shoulders. The excitement in Shi Guodong's heart suddenly turned into a deep sense of loss, and he even secretly regretted refusing to go to the provincial capital with Shi Jianhua.
Under the influence of this emotion, Shi Guodong was embarrassed to go forward to greet Shi Jianhua for a while.
It was Shi Jianhua, who crossed the crowd, and when he saw Shi Guodong and Li Xiaofang coming, he excitedly lined up the villagers surrounding him, stepped forward, and didn't care about the mud on Shi Guodong's body, hugged him and said, "Brother, I'm back." As he spoke, his voice became a little choked.
Shi Jianhua's sudden move made Shi Guodong feel a lot of emotion, and he burst into tears all of a sudden, and he couldn't remember many of the things he had planned to say in his mind, so he could only say vigorously: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back......
