Chapter 55 Voir dire (21)

Therefore, in the first instance of the court, Zhou Xiaolu was found to be the principal offender and Shi Jun was an accomplice, and was sentenced to three years and one year in prison respectively.

After the first-instance verdict came out, the old man Feng was so angry that he scolded at the door of the court: "The land lord gouged out his eyes, looked at the bodhisattva's, and the king of Hades issued a notice...... I had known this, what else would I take her to the police, is there any reason? ”

Of course, the old and angry old man Feng chose to appeal.

After the appeal, the defense lawyer argued in court of the second instance. Zhou Xiaolu and Shi Jun's subjective malice in committing the crime was not great, their purpose was to take revenge rather than make a profit, and the amount of the crime was only 500 yuan, which was not large. In addition, Zhou Xiaolu helped the police catch a number of human traffickers and defeat two human trafficking gangs, which made great contributions.

The above reasons were finally accepted by the court. The second-instance judge agreed to revise the verdict, canceling the prison sentences of Zhou Xiaolu and Shi Jun and replacing them with criticism and education.

Shi Jun's second confession was recorded after Shang Biao's confession.

According to this confession, the Shashi police had already treated Shi Jun as a suspect at this time.

Shang Biao reminded them that it was also possible that Zhou Xiaolu was killed by a woman. At the same time, the confessions of Wang Kang and Shang Biao all show that Zhou Xiaolu had a fierce conflict with Shi Jun before he was killed.

Looking at it this way, Shi Jun is indeed suspected of committing a crime.

"What is the relationship between you and Zhou Xiaolu?" Su Chao asked straight to the point.

"I've already said it, it's a very good friend......" Shi Jun looked a little tired.

"Not a 'lover'?"

"What do you mean?" Shi Jun looked up at Su Chao.

"You are a pair of 'lovers', Zhou Xiaolu has recently empathized with each other, and there has been an irreconcilable contradiction between you......"

"You can't find the murderer, so you suspect me?"

"70%-90% of rape, molestation, contradictory murder and other cases are committed by acquaintances. We thought the suspect should be male, so we're going to rule you out. This is an oversight of our work. Through further investigation, we have fully grasped the evidence that the relationship between you and Zhou Xiaolu is really a 'lover'......"

"If you really had sufficient evidence, you wouldn't have asked me that. Besides, what substantive evidence can there be for such a thing? Unless...... Catch the rape in bed. Still, there's nothing I can't admit. Me and her are indeed the kind of relationship you are talking about. But what does this mean? I am a lover with her, and if there is a conflict before the crime, I must be the murderer? ”

This Shi Jun is not simple.

Looking at Shi Jun, who was unhurried and sober-minded in front of him, Su Chao seemed to suddenly realize that this person had once teamed up with Zhou Xiaolu to sell human traffickers to human traffickers. Such a No. 1 person, bold and careful, strong logical thinking ability, good at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and the conventional interrogation methods of cleverness will only laugh and be generous in front of her eyes, and will not work.

Shi Jun's performance in the transcript conversation a few days ago was far less calm and rational than it is now. Did she suddenly learn of Zhou Xiaolu's murder at that time, and her emotions fell into a collapse for a while? Or was she pretending to do it on purpose?

This is the doubt of several people who watched the video in the transcript, and it is also Su Chao's doubt.

So, Su Chao was vigilant.

"We didn't say you were the murderer, why are you in such a hurry to clear the suspicion?"

Shi Jun was speechless, snorted coldly, and did not answer.

"Let's talk about it first, how did you and Zhou Xiaolu start and how did you end?"

"Does this have anything to do with Xiaolu's murder?"

"If you don't say it, it's likely to be related."

Shi Jun was speechless again. She knew that she had become the object of suspicion, and that if she could not prove her innocence, the investigation of her and the similar bizarre questioning would be endless.

"You doubt me now. Besides, there are some things between me and her that are now dead and unopposed. So, whether what I say is true or not, don't you believe it? ”

"Just say, we'll have our own judgment."

Shi Jun hesitated for a moment, as if he was organizing his words, or thinking about where to start.

After a long time, she touched her short hair and said, "The way I look, in your eyes, between me and Xiaolu, am I the one who takes the initiative?" In other words, do you think that it was Xiaolu who I was chasing, and in the end she changed her mind, and I was violent to her in a fit of anger and killed her? ”

Su Chao did not reply. However, judging from the appearance, temperament and personality of the two of them, as well as the existing clue information, this possibility is very high.

"I'm broken, believe it or not?"

"You go on." Su Chao was still noncommittal.

"When I was in high school, Xiaolu was deceived into going to Jinhua Mountain, you should know about it. At that time, the man named Three Mules left a great psychological shadow on Xiaolu, so much so that she was extremely disgusted with men in the future. ”

"Xiaolu is good-looking and has a good temperament, just like an elf who came out of a painting. Such a girl must be loved by everyone. ”

"I like her too. But my liking for her should not have been this kind of love in the first place. It's like a soft and glutinous fragrant baby, after you see it, you always can't help but want to kiss and pinch it. In my eyes, Xiaolu was originally such an existence. I mean, you should be able to get the idea, right? ”

Su Chao nodded expressionlessly.

"After that incident, my mother was sentenced. Xiaolu is also a lot more enthusiastic about me, especially after going to college, she took the initiative to slowly have some very intimate actions towards me. My father died of illness when I was very young. I always thought it was because my mother was sentenced that I became an 'orphan' and that she didn't want to go. So, I didn't take it to heart either. ”

"My mother deserves it, but she's still my mother. Xiaolu is still Xiaolu. Even if there was no Xiaolu, there would still be someone else who would send my mother to prison, sooner or later. So, I've never been obsessed with Xiaolu because of my mother......"

"So, when exactly did you start?" Su Chao interjected. Compared with Shi Jun's self-emotional catharsis, he is more interested in the emotional entanglement between the two of them.

Shi Jun thought for a moment and said, "Once, we slept together. I leaned on her shoulder, I didn't sleep deeply, I could feel her rubbing my index finger all the time, itchy, indescribable feeling, very comfortable...... Then, suddenly, she came back and rubbed my face, and then bit my ear and said that she ...... I said, I like men. She said, men are too disgusting, anyway, I don't have a partner now, why don't you try it with her? I didn't know why, but I couldn't help but say yes. That's probably how it started...... In terms of time, I really can't remember clearly, it should be when I was a freshman. ”

Su Chao frowned, as if he didn't find any illogical loopholes in her words, and said: "Before the case, was it because she was empathetic that you had a conflict?" ”

"You're saying the opposite."

"What do you mean?"

"It's me who empathizes, not her."

Su Chao remembered what she said, "I like men", and suddenly realized this, and asked, "Have you got a boyfriend?" ”

Shi Jun nodded yes, and then continued: "Do you think Xiaolu will like that bubble tea shop owner, Shang Biao? I've only heard of toads wanting to eat swan meat, but I've never heard of swans wanting to eat toad meat......"

"Then between her and Shang Biao...... What's going on? ”

"That's where she waits for me...... Then give Shang Biao a chance. ”

"Didn't you pester her so that she couldn't go back to the dormitory?"

"I have a boyfriend, what am I still pestering her for?"

Su Chao thought about it and felt that it should be like this.

Shi Jun said again: "Shang Biao told you that I was pestering Xiaolu, right?" This should also be what Xiaolu said, she can only say that, she can't say it to Shang Biao, she is pestering me, right? quarreled with her at the door of the bubble tea shop, also because I told her that I couldn't stand her like this. ”

After a pause, Shi Jun continued: "Grandpa Xiaolu has been talking to her recently, asking her not to patronize her studies, if there is a boy she likes at school, then fall in love, saying that if you don't fall in love in college, college will be in vain." He also said that their home was deserted and not prosperous. Xiaolu and I both know that the meaning of grandpa's words is nothing more than wanting to hold his grandson. Because of this, Xiaolu may also try to get close to men......"

In other words, before Zhou Xiaolu was killed, her psychology and emotions should be more contradictory. On the one hand, emotionally, she can't accept your 'empathy and don't love', on the other hand, intellectually, because of her grandfather, she also wants to return to marriage and return to the life of ordinary people? Su Chao asked.

Shi Jun nodded and said, "That's right." Otherwise, with Shang Biao, do you think Xiaolu is blind and can look at him? ”

Su Chao did not refute, and seemed to have acquiesced to Shi Jun's point of view.

"What happened between you and Zhou Xiaolu on the night of June 29?" Su Chao asked.

"Nothing happened...... That is, she went to my rented house and saw me and my boyfriend sleeping together without clothes...... I wanted her to see this...... I think it's good for me and for her, and we'll all have to get back to life eventually. So, after she left without saying a word, I didn't chase after her. ”

"Why do you remember this time and what happened that day?"

"It's my birthday, you have my ID number, just look at it."

Yang Feng turned to the first page of the transcript, Su Chao glanced at it and found that it was really the case.

"What did you do on July 2nd?"

Shi Jun thought for a while and said, "It should be playing a game." On my birthday, after Xiaolu left, I didn't have the heart to do anything, and played games for a week. ”

"What game?"

"Legendary."

"During this time, did Zhou Xiaolu contact you?"
