Chapter 139: Inextricably Linked (40)
Before coming to the hospital, the police were still sighing and lamenting the impermanence of fate, saying that after he received a notice to investigate the mango orchard during the day, he had met Zeng Lao Liu, who was jumping around in the village.
The sixth asked the police what was the matter, and he needed to come here in person.
The police thought of people like Zeng Lao Liu, and there might be some "underground channels" that even the police didn't know about to obtain information about illegal immigrants, so they took out Shi Ji's portrait and asked him if he had seen this person.
After taking a look, the sixth child said that he hadn't seen it, but he could help inquire, and finally asked for a portrait sketch of Shi Ji from the police.
The police didn't expect the sixth child to meet Shi Ji, what he wanted was the sixth child's "will help inquire".
After that, the police suddenly received a task of mediating conflicts between villagers in a neighboring village, and after separating from the sixth child in a hurry, they didn't expect to see the sixth child again at night, but the other party became a corpse.
Although Monk Tian looks honest on the outside, he is actually full of nonsense.
Since he was knocked unconscious, where did the blood stains on his body come from, how could the person who fainted know that the sixth child was dead, and more importantly, how could he faint if he only suffered a little skin trauma on his right arm?
Monk Tian's level of lying is too low.
Li Zhudao opened his mouth, wanting to tease him if he was fainting blood, but considering the thickness of Monk Tian's skin, he was likely to hit the snake with the stick, and shamelessly "admitted" that he was fainting blood. Therefore, when the words came to his lips, he took them back, and said to Lu Kai instead, let's go through the discharge and bring them back to the bureau.
Now that he is healthy and has "woken up from a coma", it is only natural that he should be discharged from the hospital.
On the way, Li Zhudao handed two cigarettes to Monk Tian, and Monk Tian said that he did not smoke.
The interrogation of Monk Tian took place the next day.
Faced with a large amount of evidence collected at the scene, as well as logical loopholes in his previous confession that could not be justified, Monk Tian finally admitted that he killed the sixth child.
Last night, the sixth child suddenly appeared drunk in the Lotus Temple. Monk Tian wanted to drive him away, but the sixth thought that Monk Tian looked down on him, and the two immediately had a verbal altercation, and then a physical conflict broke out.
During the clashes, the sixth elder pushed Monk Tian to the ground and beat him. That's how the injury on Monk Tian's arm came about.
At this time, Xiao Tan suddenly appeared and came up to pull the rack. The sixth child was indiscriminate, gave up beating Monk Tian, and instead chased Xiao Tan to fight. In the process of chasing and fighting, the sixth scolded and said why Xiao Tan was pestering him like a water ghost.
Xiao Tan escaped out the back door, but was thrown to the ground by the sixth child. The sixth man rode on Xiao Tan, and while pinching Xiao Tan's neck, he said that I would strangle you.
Monk Tian was startled and wanted to pull the sixth child away, but he couldn't pull it because of old age and weakness. In a hurry, Monk Tian found an iron rod (rebar) in the courtyard, and then picked it up and knocked it on the head of the sixth man, trying to knock him unconscious.
As a result, the sixth child was not only not knocked unconscious, but became even more angry, and jumped up to beat the monk again. Monk Tian retreated to the courtyard, and in the process of "retreating", Monk Tian held an iron rod and knocked the sixth man on the head several times, and finally knocked the sixth to the ground.
Monk Tian immediately went to the back door to check Xiao Tan's injuries, but found that Xiao Tan was out of breath, and when he came back to see the sixth child, the sixth child was also out of breath.
Xiao Tan's death had nothing to do with Monk Tian, but the sixth child was killed by him.
So, Monk Tian wanted to send the sixth child to the hospital for rescue, maybe it was still too late, so he tried to drag the sixth child's body out, and also tried to carry the sixth child on his back and go out, but he soon gave up. Because after just a short while, he was so tired that he was out of breath. Old age and weakness made Monk Tian have to give up this plan.
Monk Tian's bloodstains also came from this way.
After pondering for a while, Monk Tian wanted to dig a pit outside the back door and bury the two corpses, but he only shoveled the ground a few times with a shovel, but found that the soil was too hard, and with his physical strength, he couldn't shovel out a big pit that could bury two corpses.
Then, Monk Tian hesitated for a moment whether to dig a pit in another place, but after thinking about it, even if the sixth child has no father or mother and no one cares, but Xiao Tan is not, her family is very likely to call the police because of her sudden disappearance, and when the police investigate, it is very likely
I found this place.
Xiao Tan often came to the village to look for the sixth child, and the sixth often ran to his Lotus Temple, and by the way, Xiao Tan would occasionally come to the Lotus Temple, which was almost known to the whole village.
After thinking about it, Monk Tian finally thought of simply calling the police and turning himself in, maybe he could get a lenient treatment. But when he thought of "leniency", he also thought that if he "didn't know anything", maybe he would be able to "get away with it".
With this naïve thought, Monk Tian thought of a way to call the police and pretend to be unconscious.
In the end, Monk Tian defended himself again: "Comrade policeman, although I didn't turn myself in when I first called the police, and it was not right to pretend to be unconscious, Xiaoliu hit me first, and I was forced to fight back, so it should be in legitimate defense, right?"
Li Zhudao and Lu Kai, who were sitting opposite him, both had dark faces and didn't say a word.
Whether or not the murder case is justified defense is not considered for the time being, but as long as someone in the murder case voluntarily admits that he killed someone and is willing to bear criminal responsibility, it seems that the case can be declared closed.
Li Zhudao got up, picked up the confession transcript and pen on the table, walked up to Monk Tian, and put the notebook and pen on the table in front of Monk Tian's chest: "Confirm, if you think that the above record is no different from your confession, sign it."
Monk Tian let out an "oh", pretended to look through it a few times, and finally took a pen in his right hand and signed his name in the confirmation column on the paper.
After Li Zhudao took the notebook and pen, he looked at Monk Tian and suddenly asked, "Why do you still lie?"
Monk Tian's eyelids jumped, and he flatly denied: "I didn't lie, I killed the sixth child, you won't think that Xiao Tan was also killed by me, right?"
Li Zhudao didn't reply, turned around, and sat back in his place.
Lu Kai dragged the transcript from the table: "Team Li, you still ask, I'll take notes." As soon as I saw this old fellow, I got angry and took us for fools."
Li Zhudao replied "Okay", and after pondering for a while, he first picked up a portrait sketch of Shi Ji from the table, then walked up to Monk Tian and put the paper in front of his eyes: "This person, do you know?"
Monk Tian glanced at it, and under Li Zhudao's forced gaze, he finally had to nod and admit, "I know...... Xiao Shi broke his leg on the mountain, and I happened to bump into him, and he took him back to the Lotus Temple to recuperate for a while, and then left after his leg was healed."
Li Zhudao took back the portrait and sat back down: "How long has this person been in the White Lotus Temple? The sixth child often goes to the White Lotus Temple, have you ever seen him?"
Monk Tian shook his head: "Xiao Shi stayed in the Lotus Temple for less than a month, and during the recovery of his legs and feet, except for occasionally going out for a walk, he stayed in his room and didn't go out for the rest of the time, and he didn't like to see the living. During this period, the sixth child also came to the temple a few times, but Xiao Shi stayed in the room and did not go out. They never met."
Li Zhudao's face was full of suspicion: "Shi Ji is not everyone's lady, don't you think it's strange to stay in the room and not see anyone?"
Monk Tian was a little surprised: "That...... Xiao Shi is an illegal immigrant, so he is afraid of seeing people."
After thinking about it, he added, "He and Xiao Wu ...... It's my little cub, he looks very similar, looking at him, it's like seeing Xiao Wu, so ......."
The implication of Monk Tian's words is that he knew that Shi Ji was an illegal immigrant, but because of his love for his son, he took him in to recuperate.
Li Zhudao was noncommittal, and asked instead, "You signed with your right hand just now, you shouldn't be left-handed, right?"
Monk Tian hesitated for a moment and nodded in acknowledgement.
"According to what you said, when the sixth rode on Xiao Tan to commit murder, you knocked an iron rod on his head. Are you standing behind him, or are you striking him with a stick on your side or in front of you?" Li Zhudao asked.
If Monk Tian stood on the side of the sixth child's body, or in front of him, he would definitely be seen by the sixth child, so it was impossible for the sixth person not to be guarded, and it was impossible not to dodge. But in order to confirm, and in order not to let Monk Tian temporarily change his words, Li Zhudao deliberately asked this question.
Monk Tian thought about it, and sure enough, he replied, "I was standing behind the sixth child, and a stick hit him on the head."
"When this stick goes down, is it hit on the top of the sixth's head, or on the side of the head?" Li Zhudao asked again.
Monk Tian hesitated for a moment,
Then he replied, "On the right, I knocked on the right side of his head."
Li Zhudao smiled: "Under normal circumstances, if a person stands behind another person, and wants to knock the stick of the person in front of him, he should hold the stick and knock it from top to bottom, or knock it from the same side, and hold the stick and put it on the other side of his body, and it is unlikely that he will hit the person in front of him with a backlash."
"For example, since you are not left-handed, you should be holding the iron rod in your right hand, and because you are standing behind the sixth child, then this stick should be knocked on the top of the head, or on the right side of the head of the sixth child, and it is more likely to be knocked on the right side of the head. Because this position is easy and easy to use."
"Did you think the same way just now, so you said that you hit the right side of the sixth child's head with a stick?"
Monk Tian moved his Adam's apple up and down and said, "Don't wronged people...... I just remember very well that there was any need to lie about this kind of thing, when a stick struck him in this position."
Finally, he lowered his head and pointed to the right side of his head.
Li Zhudao let out a long "oh" and said, "I remember it so clearly...... The problem is that the sixth child has scars on the top of his head and on the left side of his head, as well as on his forehead, and the left side of his head is even knocked into a 'concave' shape, which is a comminuted fracture, and this should also be his fatal injury, but there are no signs of injury on the right side of his head, how can this be explained?"
Monk Tian's face changed drastically, and he smacked his lips, but he couldn't defend himself.
Li Zhudao's words changed: "Since the sixth child was released from prison, he has basically never done the business of stealing chickens and dogs, which has been clearly emphasized by both the police at the police station and the village cadres."
