Chapter 82 Voir dire (48)
"I question the death of Mr. and Mrs. Wang Wenhui because we have definite evidence. But, what about you? I'm more curious, what is the source of your doubts? Is it just based on the understanding of their father and son, and then chasing after the wind and shadows, subjective assumptions?"
"I don't think it is true that unfounded doubts do not take root in the hearts of men. The previous question I asked about you revealed my suspicion that the fire accident and the murderer was most likely Wang Qianshan, and you can't help but feel emotional."
"This shows that my suspicion is not only your doubt, but also another hidden scar in your heart. It also shows that your suspicion of Wang Qianshan has long been deep-rooted. It means that you also have definite evidence or evidence."
"My former husband killed your in-laws, his own biological parents. Such a human tragedy happened to you, and you can't believe that it is true, but the definite evidence or basis makes the doubts in your heart linger and linger."
Ma Hongwen is like a ruthless surgeon, using insightful words as a scalpel, cutting straight into people's bodies one by one:
"Mr. and Mrs. Wang Wenhui treat you well, and Mr. Wang and your father are even more lifelong friends. However, for the sake of the child, for Wang Yuange, and even you still have feelings for Wang Qianshan. So, with very clear suspicions, you choose to be an ostrich and bury your head in the sand, thinking that then everything around you will have nothing to do with you."
"But your conscience aches. Because conscience hurts, and you live too tired. Therefore, as soon as my question linked the death between Wang Qianshan and his parents, the uneasiness that you had suppressed in your conscience for many years was instantly detonated."
"You don't have to make yourself so tired. Say it, tell me everything you know. You may not be lying. But before and after the fire accident, you can hide what Wang Qianshan did and said."
In the end, Ma Hongwen shouted in an almost commanding tone, "Say! What is the reason that makes you think that the culprit of the death of Wang Wenhui and his wife should be Wang Qianshan?"
Zhang Xiuwen finally cried bitterly. The originally silent tears on his face, in Ma Hongwen's cold words like a needle, gradually turned into a low whimper, and finally turned into a howl.
Ma Hongwen's expression was cold, and he looked at it coldly. The little police officer in charge of recording wanted to send the paper box on the table to Zhang Xiuwen, but he was so hot by his stern gaze that he immediately retracted his hand.
After a long time, Zhang Xiuwen stopped crying.
"Wang Qianshan...... The personality is eccentric, and many ideas and ideas are ...... Confused, his self-perceived 'sense of responsibility' is even more incomprehensible."
Ma Hongwen agreed with this, but did not make any remarks, and only listened quietly.
"Before he formally filed for divorce from me, for a long time, I could sense that he might have someone out there. Women are particularly sensitive in this regard, and this unwarranted premonition is often very accurate."
"But I don't want to talk about it to anyone. You can only silently prepare mentally and slowly accept the reality. I know that sooner or later, this person will divorce me. So, for a long time, I couldn't sleep all night."
According to Zhang Pei's confession, it was during this period of time that Zhang Xiuwen began to imitate *** for himself.
"When he confessed to me and asked for a divorce, I was fully prepared to do so, so I didn't quarrel with him or raise any objections...... It's a guy who sits in the bedroom all morning, and then comes out and tells him that I'm going to get a divorce."
"It just made his conscience uneasy. Then he said that he knew that I could not leave the child, so the custody of the child was mine. I didn't speak, but my heart was certainly receptive to his self-righteous 'way of making amends.'
"Soon, he thought that I am a woman, without a stable income, and it is inevitable that I will have difficulties in life with two children. Therefore, he offered to give me a large sum of money, saying that at least I should ensure that my children and I have no worries about food and clothing, and that we do not have to worry about life, so that he can feel at ease."
"I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't. "You don't have to worry about these things."
"But he did not agree,
said that this is his responsibility and obligation, and it must be arranged for our mother and son. It's fine that he doesn't say that, and when I say that, I want to laugh more, but I still can't."
It sounds like a joke that a man who has already decided to abandon his wife and children, in front of his wife who is about to be abandoned, repeatedly expresses his responsibility and obligation as a husband and father to settle the abandoned wife and children.
When the Japanese army invaded China, it smashed the huge China to pieces, but in retrospect, it said that it was for the common prosperity of Greater East Asia and that it would help the Chinese build China well. Wang Qianshan's thinking logic is similar to that of the Japanese back then.
"I said, you don't have any money, so you don't have to worry about it. But he swore that although he had no money, the old man had money, and he would tell the old man about it anyway, so by the way, he would get some money from him to settle our mother and son."
"As soon as I heard it...... As you said, not only did he plan to confess to his father-in-law a long time ago, but now he is trying to get financial support from his father-in-law, knowing that it is going to be bad, and the two fathers and sons will definitely quarrel and even fight because of this."
"The relationship between their father and son is already ...... I'm nervous, and I don't want to make their father-son relationship worse because of what happened between me and him. Besides, the matter between two people, the two people can decide it, and there is no need to involve the parents. What's more, if you can't report good news to your parents, there is no need to report your worries."
"So I said to him...... If you do that, not only will we not get the money, but we will not be able to get married."
"I said this in a hurry."
"That made him very excited. All the while, he struggled to escape his father's shadow and control. In his opinion, this sentence is to ridicule him, thinking that he has never been able to be his master.
"Finally, he assured me in a very firm tone: marriage, I will definitely be divorced; I will definitely get the money."
"At that time, I had a premonition that something was going to happen."
"Two days later, there was a fire at my parents-in-law's house......
Ma Hongwen is like a hound with a keen sense of smell, and immediately sniffed a different flavor from these words.
There is no doubt that this hunting dog, which is very terrible to all suspects and criminals, will grin and pounce on all clues, even if there is only the slightest possibility, and bite it tightly.
But he is like a wolf with excellent patience, after aiming at the target prey, he is not in a hurry to bite it, but puts away the fangs, through the means of side knocking, grasp the comprehensive information, and successfully create the best time, only then suddenly open the bloody mouth and eat the prey.
Then, Ma Hongwen put on a casual look: "According to the information we have, as well as your current situation, Wang Qianshan should not have fulfilled his promise in the end. In other words, he shouldn't have given you a large sum of money before eloping with Li Qian?"
"After my parents-in-law passed away, no one knew their deposit passwords. Wang Qianshan...... I was in a hurry to elope with Li Qian, and I didn't have the patience and time to spend a lot of energy to handle the withdrawal procedures for the death of my relative, so I could only verbally explain to Wang Yuan'e and let me collect part of the store rent."
"His arrangement can be regarded as a disguised fulfillment of his promise."
"But it didn't last long. As I said earlier, less than half a year ago, Wang Yuan'e changed his mind and refused to let me take a penny from his family."
Until now, Zhang Xiuwen has not directly pointed out that Wang Qianshan is related to the death of Wang Wenhui and his wife.
In Ma Hongwen's view, in his statement, Zhang Xiuwen still called Wang Qianshan's "lack of heart as a thief" and "absconding in fear of crime" after the death of his parents as "eloping with Li Qian".
But Zhang Xiuwen's statement is beyond reproach.
Because, Ma Hongwen has no direct evidence that Wang Qianshan killed his parents. The finger bones provided by the old forensic doctor can only make them basically conclude that the "fire" of that year was not an accident but man-made.
Of course, it is also based on this conclusion brought by the finger bones, Ma Hongwen keenly perceived that the father-son relationship between Wang Wenhui and Wang Qianshan was extraordinary through Zhang Xiuwen's statement about the relationship between the father and son of the Wang family, and then believed that Wang Wenhui had committed a crime
Suspicion.
In Ma Hongwen's questioning, Zhang Xiuwen exposed more details before his divorce from Wang Qianshan. These details are indeed logically related to the death of Wang Wenhui and his wife. However, this correlation lacks substantial evidence to support it.
To put it simply, Wang Qianshan had a motive and time to commit the crime, but Ma Hongwen had no witnesses or physical evidence. It is still a long way from the so-called "ironclad evidence" and "ironclad case".
Zhang Xiuwen, the "human witness" in front of him, looks like a two-faced person.
The details she provided can only confirm Ma Hongwen's speculation and aggravate Wang Qianshan's suspicion of committing the crime, and nothing else can prove it.
Even if Zhang Xiuwen admitted positively that he suspected Wang Qianshan of committing a crime, it would be to no avail. If both people suspect the other person as a murderer, can that person be identified as a murderer?
Moreover, Zhang Xiuwen's confession, whether viewed horizontally and vertically, looks extremely slippery.
You say that she is accusing Wang Qianshan of being the murderer of her parents, but according to the logic hidden in her confession, she only provided a great possibility that Wang Qianshan would indeed go to Wang Wenhui to negotiate the divorce. As for whether Wang Qianshan finally went, whether the father and son really clashed during the negotiation process, and whether Wang Qianshan committed a crime of passion, Zhang Xiuwen "doesn't know".
You say she didn't tell the truth, but she told the truth.
You said she didn't cooperate with the police investigation, she was very cooperative.
After careful consideration, Zhang Xiuwen's confession achieved "no offense" between Wang Qianshan and the police.
This is really a witty and intelligent woman.
