Chapter 6: Misfortune (1)
October 24, 2009, 22:37 PM. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Zhumadian City, Henan Province.
After Shi Xiangdong took the two-yuan fare handed over by the guest, he took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, thinking: "Business is not good tonight, in another half an hour, if you don't get the guest, go home." ”
He pulled his motorcycle to the fork in the road with street lights in front of him and stopped, deciding to wait for the guest for a while, he unhurriedly pulled out the crumpled cigarette case from his trouser bag, took out the last cigarette he had left, lit the fire, and threw the cigarette case into a garbage can a few steps behind.
He is Chinese New Year's Eve and a native of Zhumadian City. Twenty years ago, after graduating from junior high school, he ended his student career and entered society.
He has worked as a doorman, as an assistant policeman, as a stall, and even as a leather shoe polisher. In short, because the culture is not high, and the family has no background and economic foundation, it has been very unsatisfactory and has always been at the bottom of the city. Now he supports his family by his business.
As a native of the city, few people will do these livelihoods, so he is often mistaken for a countryman or a foreigner.
In the first few years after graduation, he was still a little embarrassed, when he saw his elementary school classmates or junior high school classmates, he could avoid it, and if he couldn't avoid it, he pretended not to see it, but I don't know when he started to get used to it. Sometimes when he met his former classmates, he would say half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Old classmates, take care of business!"
Although he lived a very low self-esteem and autism, deep down, he never broke the dream of getting rich. No matter how shy he was, he never stopped buying welfare lottery tickets and various other sports lotteries.
Although he only buys one ticket every time, he is very serious, often sitting in a chair in a lottery shop, tilting his head back and studying the lottery as if an astronomer were studying the mysterious starry sky.
Of course, he also understands that the odds of winning the jackpot are extremely slim and unavoidable, so although he has always cherished this dream, he has not gone crazy. In the past five years, he got up at half past six almost every day, and only came home at eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening.
He only hopes that his daughter will be happy in the future, and not like him, living so tired and ...... Boring.
But even this humble dream seems a little difficult to achieve.
His daughter is 12 years old this year and is in the sixth grade in XX Primary School, although he and his wife often use their "lowly" as an example to instill some life principles in their daughter, hoping that the child can work hard and be admitted to a prestigious university in the future and get ahead, but his daughter's academic performance has been very unsatisfactory.
Sometimes, when he thought of his own dissatisfaction, and of the general situation of his family, he also had some crooked thoughts, and even had evil thoughts of robbery and murder, but he was timid, and those thoughts were only thought in his heart.
On a few occasions he had a good opportunity to take a single woman in the middle of the night, and passed through some of the more remote and easy to get started, but he didn't dare to do it.
Although he felt that life was very boring, he didn't want to die, especially after having a daughter, he didn't want to die.
In this world, perhaps the only one who can make him happy is his daughter.
He sometimes whispers in his mind: "If it weren't for my daughter, maybe I would have turned into a murderer!"
"Is Shi Dan sleeping now? Will he still be watching TV on the sofa?" Every weekend, her daughter Shi Dan would sleep very late, and her mother urged her to sleep, and she was always impatient to find all kinds of excuses. One will say that he will wait for his father to come home before going to sleep, and the other will say that he will not have classes tomorrow, so watch more TV for a while!
Thinking of his daughter, a burst of warmth welled up in his heart, "Forget it, let's call it a day tonight!"
He was about to start the engine and drive away, when he heard a voice from behind: "Mo!"
He looked back and saw that he was greeted by a young man of a somewhat short stature, who seemed to be less than twenty years old.
The boy didn't look like a rich man, even a bit like a migrant worker from the countryside, but he didn't think much about it - how many rich people would come and take care of his motorcycle business?
"Where are you going?" he asked, lukewarmly, as he spat out the small half of the saliva-soaked cigarette in his mouth.
"Go to XX Street. Although the place where the other party was going was not in the same direction as his way home, because the distance was not too far and it was also in the main city, he hesitated and let the other party get in the car.
Ten minutes later, the motorcycle drove to a section of the road not far from XX Street, and the young man who had been sitting in the back seat without saying a word suddenly said: "Drive slowly, I still have to pick up someone." ”
Shi Xiangdong was slightly displeased, but he still slowed down, and after driving for another minute, the young man pointed to a young man about his age on the side of the road in front of him and said, "It's him." ”
Shi Xiangdong is a motorist after all, and his vigilance is still relatively high, if this young man is tall or a little strong, he may refuse the other party's request, but seeing that this young man is also relatively short, he didn't care too much, and obediently parked the car next to the young man according to the other party's request.
"It's been a long time since you've been waiting for you, it's only been half a day, and they've probably arrived a long time ago!" the boy complained as he got into the car.
"Your mother sells X, Lao Tzu stopped the car for a long time, and there was no empty taxi, so I had to hire a motorcycle!"
"You **** don't brag, you can't give up the money if you don't want to pay, what do you say there is no empty taxi!"
"Your mother sells X, you don't believe it!"
"They may have arrived early, and by the time the two of us arrived, they would still be able to drink **** beer!"
"What are you afraid of, today is Tian Ermao's birthday, let him have some blood, carry two beers for Lao Tzu first, and everyone will drink all night!"
Shi Xiangdong listened to the foul language of the two teenagers, and understood that the two were bad teenagers, and secretly regretted that he should not pull this kind of guest. But now it's hard to ride a tiger, so I have to send these two nasty guys away first. "Where are you going now?"
"Go to the little sister song city on XX Road!" replied the teenager who got into the car later.
Shi Xiangdong frowned, the little sister Song City is located at the junction of urban and rural areas, although it is not too far from here, but there is a section of the road that is relatively remote, if the other party said that he wanted to go to that place at the beginning, he would most likely find a reason to refuse to take it. But if you don't want to go now, maybe the other party will not only not pay for the car, but also cause trouble. Although the other party is a small teenager, after all, it is two, and it is difficult for him to defeat his two fists with four hands, and he will definitely suffer if he really provokes the other party.
"It looks like they made an appointment with someone to sing karaoke together, so send them there, and go home when they're done!"
After listening to the conversation between the two just now, although he had a bad impression of the two, he thought that the other party was just going to sing, so he was not too wary.
Of course, he wouldn't have thought that those conversations just now were actually meant for him!
When he went, he actually opened a road of no return......
"******, I knew that he only had so much money on him, so it was better to let him go!"
"Kill all of them, what are you doing with all this?"
"Lao Tzu said at the beginning, if you want to grab a taxi, how can you deceive a motorcycle!"
"Your mother sells X, and the current taxi drivers are very proficient, Lao Tzu had just waited for a few taxis, but those cars were equipped with protective fences, which was not easy to start, so Lao Tzu chose this motorcycle. ”
"Forget it, next time keep your eyes open and look at the object before you go up!"
The two teenagers, one named Lin Changshu and the other named Jiao Xinguang, were only seventeen years old. Lin Changshu's hometown is in the countryside of Xishui County, Guizhou Province, his mother eloped with someone else when he was very young, and his father has been working outside for many years, and he usually does not go home except for the Spring Festival. Therefore, Lin Changshu and his sister have been taken care of by their grandparents.
Last year, his father Lin Wuli used the tens of thousands of yuan he had saved from years of part-time work, plus scraped together some from relatives and friends, and finally bought a grocery store from others.
Lin Wuli thought that there was a helper in the store, and Lin Changshu had already graduated from junior high school and had nothing to do, so he called his son to help in the small shop he opened. Lin Changshu was reluctant because he was rarely with his father since he was a child, and he didn't get along with his father's personality. After being urged by his father several times, he reluctantly agreed to come to Henan.
But he didn't put his mind on the store at all, nominally to help, but in fact he was just helping. He often steals money from the store to use it for surfing the Internet, smoking, playing billiards, and other personal expenses.
As the saying goes, if you often walk at night, you will encounter ghosts, and after stealing a few times, I was finally discovered by my father. After a few quarrels between father and son, his father stopped letting him work in the store, and he was happy to do nothing, wandering around all day, wasting his time.
Jiao Xinguang was met when he played billiards and was from Sichuan. His situation is similar to Lin Changshu, and even a copy of Lin Changshu, his parents are divorced, and his father works outside all the year round, and he has been taken care of by his grandmother. The difference is that Jiao Xinguang is not like Lin Changshu, who only dares to steal some pocket money in his own small shop, he has had a bad habit of petty theft since he was a child. At a young age, he has already entered the police station twice, and he is about to become an old fritter.
Although the two have not known each other for a long time, they smell the same and soon become friends.
One day, Jiao Xinguang proposed the idea of the two of them partnering to "do big things", Lin Changshu heard that it was a robbery, and he was a little scared at first, but after only one day of hesitation, he agreed.
At the beginning, Lin Changshu also secretly set a bottom line for himself, that is, only rob and not kill, but after doing a few cases, his courage gradually became bigger, one night three months ago, after the two robbed a woman who came home alone late at night with a knife, they wanted to gang rape each other, because they resisted, Jiao Xinguang was angry and stabbed each other to death with a knife.
After the two committed the crime, in order to avoid the limelight, they temporarily stopped for a while. Last night was the day when the two of them "re-emerged". According to the predetermined plan, Lin Changshu first deceived the object of the crime to XX Street, and after meeting with Jiao Xinguang, the two pretended to be going to the little sister Song City to sing karaoke, and tricked Shi Xiangdong to a remote road, Jiao Xinguang pretended to be in a hurry and stopped the motorcycle, and then the two took out the fruit knife hidden in their bodies, and after a crazy stab, Shi Xiangdong's life was killed.
But to the great disappointment of the two, the deceased only had thirty-nine yuan on him!
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, let's hide the corpse first!" Jiao Xinguang said.
The location they chose to commit the crime was located on the highway from Zhumadian City to Xinyang City, and although the object they chose was a bit beyond the plan, the location of the attack was completely carried out according to the plan. Just ten meters away from the scene of the killing, there was a culvert on the side of the road, and they had driven their stolen bicycles on this road before, so they were still familiar with the terrain in this area. Knowing that this culvert is a great place to hide corpses, no one usually passes through this culvert except for passing vehicles.
After the two carried the body to the culvert, in order to prolong the time for the victim to be found and identified as long as possible, Jiao Xinguang proposed that the deceased's head be cut off and hidden in another place. Lin Changshu didn't have many ideas, and he was reasonable and had no objections.
So Jiao Xinguang cut off Shi Xiangdong's head with a knife, Lin Changshu took off the deceased's clothes, wrapped the head, and threw the body into a deep culvert, and the two left the crime scene on the stolen motorcycle.
When they crossed a small bridge, they threw their heads, which were wrapped in clothes, into the water under the bridge. After returning to the city, after the two divided the stolen money equally, Lin Changshu went home first, and Jiao Xinguang drove a motorcycle to an Internet café that he liked to go to on weekdays to surf the Internet.
The next day, according to the previous division of labor, Lin Changshu was responsible for the dirty.
Lin Changshu knew that this incident would happen sooner or later, so he first threw away the license plate of the motorcycle, and then drove the motorcycle to a motorcycle repair shop that was far away from his father's rental place and he had never been to before.
The owner of the repair shop suspected that his motorcycle was coming from the wrong way and didn't want to buy it, Lin Changshu said: Boss, don't worry, if it's a stolen car, how can I have the car keys. The car is definitely my own, but because I was fired by my boss and I haven't had a job for nearly two months, I want to leave the city and go to Xinjiang to work, so I want to dispose of this motorcycle. The owner of the repair shop asked why he didn't have a license plate, and he said that the car was a second-hand car bought from someone else, and there was no license plate when he bought it.
The owner of the repair shop was suspicious, and after looking at the car, he deliberately picked his nose and eyes, Lin Changshu knew the other party's intentions, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and said: "You can make a price directly!"
"I can only give you two hundred dollars at most. ”
"Dazai, right?!"
"If you don't have enough, you'll have to find another buyer. ”
"Well, two hundred is two hundred. ”
After the transaction was successful, Lin Changshu Jiao Xinguang divided the stolen money equally.
After a brief discussion, they decided to be quiet for half a month for the time being, and then "do big things" after the rumors passed. But things have gone far beyond their imagination. Just twenty-six hours after the two of them committed the crime, Lin Changshu was arrested by the public security officers from the bed!
Jiao Xinguang escaped by luck because he was surfing the Internet at the time, and after he heard the news, he didn't dare to go back to his father's rented place, and after hiding in the city for a while, he was finally arrested.
After Lin Changshu was brought to justice, he tried his best to excuse his crimes, taking advantage of Jiao Xinguang's fugitive to put all the murder crimes on Jiao Xinguang's head, and even confessed to Jiao Xinguang's crime of killing the woman three months ago.
The police suspected that they might have committed other crimes, and seeing that Lin Changshu had a better attitude, they wanted to dig up a few more murders by taking advantage of his desire to make meritorious service and atone for their crimes, but Lin Changshu confessed to another strange murder case!
"Uncle policeman, we really haven't committed any other crimes!"
"We have already explained the policy to you very clearly, you have to honestly confess all the crimes, otherwise after we capture Jiao Xinguang, he confesses to other cases, and you will lose a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions. ”
"We really didn't kill anymore, but ......"
"But what?"
"Uncle policeman, I know about another murder case, that case happened in another city, and we didn't do it, I told it, is it considered meritorious?"
“...... Of course, let's say, what kind of case?"
"Just in July of this year, there was a homicide in Hangzhou, where a young man was beaten to death with an iron rod on the highway!"
"Oh, who was the young man who was killed, and who was the murderer?"
"I don't know who the victim is. I don't know who the murderer is, I also listened to Jiao Xinguang, that person originally wanted to pull Jiao Xinguang to do big things together, but Jiao Xinguang was timid at that time and did not agree. ”
"The murderer and the victim don't know who it is, I'm afraid that there is no case, you want to make meritorious contributions, this is good, but you can't make up a murder case out of thin air!"
He also said that he didn't want to partner with that murderer because the murderer was too ruthless, and Jiao Xinguang was afraid that he would suffer a loss if he partnered with him, and he would be killed by him one day, so he didn't agree. After that case happened, Jiao Xinguang was afraid that the murderer would kill him, so he came to our city! He also said that the murderer's motive for killing was very strange, and he didn't kill people for robbery, but for the sake of practicing courage!"
"What?!Killing people for the sake of training their guts?!"
"Yes, listening to Jiao Xinguang, that case was also the first time that the murderer had killed someone. ”
