When Xie Jing saw Zhou Xiaoyu, his anger rose, if he wasn't a policeman, he would definitely beat Zhou Xiaoyu violently.

"Why are you pretending to be dead!" Xie Jing snorted violently, and finally, Zhou Xiaoyu raised his head slowly and leisurely. Zhou Xiaoyu is quite handsome, and his appearance is easy for people to guess his character. Xie Jing still refused to give up, he pointed at Zhou Xiaoyu and asked viciously: "Say, did anyone instigate you to kill someone?" ”

Zhou Xiaoyu shook his head and stammered to answer us with two words: no.

Zhou Xiaoyu is so calm, so calm that it makes people feel that he is not a fourteen-year-old child. According to the reaction that a normal person should have, after a person kills someone, he should not be so calm, unless it is a killer who has already killed people.

However, whether it was after killing someone or sitting in the interrogation room at the moment, Zhou Xiaoyu's face did not show fear. Xie Jing was annoyed, and I stopped him from continuing to question. With his attitude, even if he asks what happened, Zhou Xiaoyu can use Xie Jing's excuse to intimidate him to retract his confession.

Xie Jing patted his forehead, realizing that what he had done was inappropriate, he sat down and picked up the pen to record it, and handed over the situation to me.

"What would you do if I told you that you would be sentenced to death?" I asked Zhou Xiaoyu.

Zhou Xiaoyu's expression finally changed, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes. Zhou Xiaoyu's reaction had already made me sure, and I smiled slightly: "Do you know that even if you kill someone, you don't have to be responsible?" ”

Zhou Xiaoyu bit his lip, and after a long time, he asked me why he needed to be responsible.

Due to the differences in the human body, although some people are underage, their mental and physical strength may have grown up like adults, but Zhou Xiaoruo is really calm, which is too scary. I speculate that Zhou Xiaoyu actually knew that he could not bear criminal responsibility for killing someone, so he would be so calm after killing someone.

Zhou Xiaoyu's answer confirmed my conjecture.

"I thought about it, if you hate Zhou Xiaoruo so much, why don't you tell him about hitting the old man, but kill him at the risk of being discovered." I looked at Zhou Xiaoyu's eyes, and I already regarded him as an adult like me: "Now that I think about it, everything makes sense, you know that you don't have to be responsible for killing people, so you unscrupulously amplify the hatred in your heart." ”

With the popularity of legal thinking at that time, ordinary teenage students hardly knew about the setting of the age of criminal responsibility, but it was not excluded that some students would learn about it through certain channels. Zhou Xiaoyu didn't answer my question, he asked the question he just asked again.

"Why am I being sentenced to death?" Zhou Xiaoyu was still stuttering when he spoke, and he was already a little anxious.

Xu Yi and Xie Jing both looked at me in surprise, they didn't understand why I said this, but neither of them dared to interrupt the conversation between me and Zhou Xiaoyu, because they also found that Zhou Xiaoyu was panicking.

"Are you afraid of death?" I still didn't answer Zhou Xiaoyu's question.

Zhou Xiaoyu became more and more anxious: "Why don't you answer me!" ”

Zhou Xiaoyu's speed of speech became very fast, and with his stammering appearance, it seemed a little funny.

"A child is a child, self-righteous, thinking that the law can't punish you to do whatever you want, once you know that what you think is wrong, you are afraid to die." I didn't hide the sarcasm in my words.

Zhou Xiaoyu frowned and thought for a long time, and finally he told me that he was not over fourteen years old and should not be responsible. He looked at me resentfully, saying that if it weren't for me, he wouldn't have been discovered, and the child's hideous heart slowly revealed through his eyes.

Me: "Do you really think that the law can't punish you?" ”

Zhou Xiaoyu: "You still want to say that I will be sentenced to death?" ”

Me: "The death penalty is not necessary, but the prison is fixed." ”

Zhou Xiaoyu: "Impossible, I've already checked!" ”

I nodded: "If you are under the age of fourteen, even if you commit a crime intentionally, the law has no way to hold you criminally responsible." "I didn't make some legal terms popular, since Zhou Xiaoyu has already checked it, he is no stranger to these terms. I looked at Zhou Xiaoyu, I didn't speak for a long time, the interrogation room was very quiet, Zhou Xiaoyu's breathing was getting faster and faster, and all his reactions were captured by me.

I am breaking Zhou Xiaoyu's psychological defense step by step, and the interrogation cannot threaten the suspect, but it does not mean that the interrogation is unskillful. During interrogations, investigators often use psychological expertise.

Finally, just when Zhou Xiaoyu couldn't stand it anymore, I continued to pause for a long time and spoke again: "But what if you are already fourteen years old?" ”

When my words came out, Xie Jing stood up excitedly, and Xu Yi also looked at me in surprise.

Zhou Xiaoyu was stunned for a while, and then, all his previous calmness was left behind, and at this moment, we can feel that he is an angry child. Zhou Xiaoyu stood up and scolded me: "You are talking nonsense! ”

In Wang Xin's office, the phone call I received was actually from Jiang Jun. I finally know where he's been in the past two days. Jiang Jun didn't want a murderous demon whose mind was already comparable to that of an adult to escape the punishment of the law because of his young age, so he tried his best.

Two days ago, he stared at his birth age for a long time with Zhou Xiaoyu's household registration book, he was deeply troubled by that string of numbers, and he was unwilling to give up. Finally, he meditated hard, and finally thought of working on Zhou Xiaoyu's date of birth. He went to ask Zhou Guang and his wife, they and Zhou Sheng first lived in a small village in Guangdong City, and later went out of the village to make some money.

In the two days that Jiang Jun was gone, he drove to that village to investigate. Zhou Xiaoyu was born in that village, and at the time when Zhou Xiaoyu was born, very few people would be born in the hospital, so not everyone had the birth certificate required for the hukou.

At that time, there was also the midwife, who was born at home without a certificate of birth, and when they registered their children, they needed to report it themselves, in this case, because there were too many people, it was very difficult to review the household registration, so the date of birth on the household registration information may not be accurate, which is the main reason why the actual date of birth and the date of household registration are inconsistent for many people so far.

Jiang Jun started from here, found the villagers of Zhou Guang's same village, and asked his younger brother Zhou Sheng, and finally, Jiang Jun got a good news. The actual date of Zhou Xiaoyu's birth was three days earlier than the date of his household registration, and the people in the village were very particular about the date, Zhou Guang's parents calculated the date and thought that the date of birth was unlucky, so the registration date was postponed by three days and an auspicious day was chosen.

The village is very small, and everyone remembers very well that one family had a child, Zhou Guang and Zhou Sheng were the two families with more abilities in the village at that time, and everyone paid special attention to their family's affairs, so after more than ten years, some people still remember that Zhou Xiaoyu's birth date was pushed back by three days.

What does this mean, everyone here understands it, Zhou Xiaoyu panicked, and said in his throat that I was lying, and his tears also fell. Due to the discrepancy between the national registration date and the actual date of birth, there are judicial interpretations that specifically explain this phenomenon.

Where there is evidence to prove that the actual date of birth is inconsistent with the date of registration, the actual date of birth shall prevail for the calculation of the age of criminal responsibility. According to the actual date, Zhou Xiaoyu was already 14 years old on the day of the killing.

Xie Jing was very happy to hear it, and at this time, Jiang Jun, who had been busy for two days, also returned. After he found out, he immediately told me the good news, and he also brought back a lot of people from Zhouguang Village, who were able to prove Zhou Xiaoyu's actual date of birth.

After Jiang Jun entered the interrogation room, he said something that I could not forget for a long time.

"There is no way to be perfect in the law, but I believe in justice and fairness, and for these two things, I will never stop!"

Zhou Xiaoyu is actually very smart, he has a lot of ideas, and he has done a lot of things that his peers can't do. His psychology is distorted, he thinks that he has calculated the day when he turns fourteen, but he also did not expect that it was the interval of that day that made him bear the punishment of the law again.

I looked at Zhou Xiaoyu: "If you don't want to stay in it for too long, tell me, do you still have something to hide from me......"
