Chapter 35 end of late spring

Yang Guiqin woke up suddenly. She got up from the sofa in a daze, feeling dry mouth, picked up the cup from the coffee table, and took a sip of the already cold tea. The lights in the living room were not turned on, and the TV was still on.Yang Guiqin sat on the sofa and stared blankly for a while, her attention was gradually attracted by the evening news being played on the TV. "About 3:30 this afternoon, an explosion occurred in a cafe at the intersection of Xinghua North Street and Dawang Road. There were no casualties at the scene, but some property was damaged. It is reported that the police took away many people from the scene, one of whom was Lin Guodong, the wanted murderer who is on the run..."

Yang Guiqin grabbed the remote control and turned off the TV.She saw Mr. Lin's arrest warrant in the newspaper a few days ago, and she was still puzzled.How can a good person get mentally ill and kill someone? Maybe it hasn't healed yet. The old woman didn't want to think about him anymore.She picked up the blanket and staggered towards the bedroom.She wanted to fall asleep as soon as possible, because she had a dream just now, and it would be wonderful if this dream could continue. In the dream, her son, Xu Mingliang came home. The Supreme People's Procuratorate quickly issued a reply, agreeing to restart the investigation of the serial rape and murder case 23 years ago. The Tiedong Sub-bureau of C City Public Security Bureau set up a special case team, with Duan Hongqing as the team leader and Du Cheng as the deputy team leader.The investigation against Lin Guodong is in full swing.

With the unremitting efforts of the task force, various evidence materials were quickly extracted and summarized.Among them, some hairs were extracted from the floor under Lin Guodong's bed.After DNA testing, two of them can be identified as Zhang Lan, the victim of the "11.9" rape and murder case in 1990, and one of them can be identified as Feng Nan, the victim of the "8.7" rape and murder case in 1991.In addition, on the wall near the sofa in the living room of Lin Guodong's home, a bloodstain covered with large white powder was found. After DNA testing, it can be identified as the victim Huang Yu in the "6.23" rape and murder case in 1991.

Luo Shaohua provided two pieces of evidence.One of them is the record of Lin Guodong borrowing a white Dongfeng brand pickup truck from the Lvzhu MSG factory car class from 1990 to 1991.Among the 17 borrowing records in total, 4 of them are highly consistent with the time of the serial rape, homicide and dismemberment cases.The pickup truck has been scrapped and there is no way to verify it.However, Liu Zhu, the car repairman at that time, was still alive, and he confirmed the authenticity of this car loan record. Another piece of evidence was the sun visor of the white pickup truck.On the non-woven fabric on the back of the sun visor, the police extracted a bullet dripping blood.After DNA testing, it can be identified as Li Lihua, the victim of the "3.14" rape, murder, and dismemberment case in 1991.

Luo Shaohua also provided a testimony, confirming that Lin Guodong had personally admitted that he had committed four cases of rape, murder and mutilation. At the same time, Luo Shaohua was taken away by the Tiedong District Procuratorate of C City for investigation on suspicion of bending the law for personal gain.As the case has passed the statute of limitations, the Tiedong District Procuratorate has decided not to prosecute. On April 2, Ji Qiankun surrendered to the police, and voluntarily explained that he was responsible for the "10.27" homicide case in 1992.Through the search of Ji Qiankun's residence, the police found a hand saw wrapped in newspaper above the wardrobe in the bedroom.Ji Qiankun's fingerprints were extracted from the handle of the hand saw.Blood stains were extracted from the connection between the handle and the chainsaw and inside the teeth. After DNA testing, it can be identified as the victim Liang Qingyun. In 1992, the "10.27" murder case was declared solved.

Ji Qiankun immediately reported to the police the criminal fact that Zhang Haisheng helped Tian Youguang to rape, and provided video materials as evidence.This case has been dealt with separately. In view of the fact that the criminal suspect Ji Qiankun suffers from a disability, cannot take care of himself, and found lung disease during the physical examination, the People's Procuratorate of C City decided to release him on bail pending further investigation. treat. On May 8, the Intermediate People's Court of C City held a hearing on the case of Lin Guodong's series of rape, murder and dismemberment.The defendant Lin Guodong was charged with rape, intentional homicide and robbery.Lin Guodong confessed to the criminal facts charged by the procuratorate.The trial lasted for two full days, and a sentencing date will be chosen.

Ji Qiankun received a DVD from Zhang Zhenliang on the second day of the adjournment.The CD-ROM recorded the whole process of the trial of Lin Guodong's case.Ji Qiankun finished watching this CD with a borrowed portable DVD player in the ward, with a calm expression all the time, without saying a word.However, that night, people on the entire floor heard an old man calling the name "Feng Nan", and it didn't stop overnight. Ten days later, the C City Intermediate People's Court made the first-instance verdict on Lin Guodong's case: Lin Guodong committed the crime of rape and was sentenced to death immediately and deprived of political rights for life; Robbery, was sentenced to 3 years in prison and fined 3,000 yuan.Decided to execute the death penalty immediately.Lin Guodong said in court that he would not appeal.The case has been submitted to the Supreme People's Court for review.

After Xu Mingliang’s mother, Yang Guiqin’s appeal, the Higher People’s Court of J Province decided to start the retrial procedure, and formed another collegial panel to hear the case according to law.During the trial, the collegial panel consulted all the files and relevant materials of the case, and listened to the opinions of the complainant, defender and procuratorate. Final Zi No. 199 criminal ruling and C City Intermediate People's Court (1991) C Xing Chu Zi No. 37 criminal judgment; 2. Xu Mingliang, the defendant in the original trial, was not guilty. The complainant Yang Guiqin has already applied for state compensation.

Subsequently, the procedure for investigating responsibility for the wrongful conviction of Xu Mingliang's case was launched.Relevant personnel from the three departments of public security, procuratorate, and law that participated in handling the case were ordered to cooperate with the investigation.Many of them are retired public security and judicial personnel.Ma Jian, the former deputy director of the Tiedong Branch of the C City Public Security Bureau, who presided over the investigation of this case, had to stop the process of declaring the honorary title of revolutionary martyr.A police officer surnamed Du suddenly fainted while being questioned, and was sent to the Third People's Hospital of C City for emergency treatment that day.

End of May, late spring. The sky was clear and the sun was shining.The rising temperature makes the city bid farewell to the cold and desolate winter.The green grass, flower clothes, coupled with the muscular bodies and young faces that can be seen everywhere, are growing vigorously on this land with more and more intense vitality. Ji Qiankun rocked his wheelchair and walked slowly in the courtyard of the Third People's Hospital.The sun shone on him, making him feel warm and comfortable.He kept taking deep breaths, and the smell of green grass mixed with the aroma of earth lingered in his nostrils, making people feel lazy and satisfied.

In an open space, an old man in a blue and white hospital gown was leaning on a wooden bench, dozing with his eyes closed.In his hand, he was holding an open newspaper. When Ji Qiankun saw him, he exerted force on his hand, and the wheelchair accelerated towards him. "Old Du!" He walked up to the old man and patted his knee vigorously, "I'm not afraid of catching a cold." Du Cheng opened his eyes, saw that it was Ji Qiankun, and smiled. "It's you." He stretched vigorously, and the newspaper rattled along with his movements, "It's so fucking bad, I fell asleep after just a few glances at the newspaper." Ji Qiankun looked at his withered face and increasingly swollen abdomen, and asked, "How are you?" "It's okay, surgery the day after tomorrow." Du Cheng shook his head, "Zhen Liang insisted on me doing it, but it's actually useless at all—what about you? The court session was held yesterday?" "Well, the crimes of intentional homicide and bombing are suspended." Ji Qiankun looked calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, "It will be over in half a day." "You reported and exposed Zhang Haisheng, which should be considered meritorious service." Du Cheng looked at him, "Did your defense lawyer mention this?" "It seems to have been mentioned, but I didn't listen carefully." Ji Qiankun pointed to his upper abdomen, "Lung cancer, even a death sentence with a reprieve is meaningless." Du Cheng was silent and lowered his head.After a while, he suddenly thought of something, leaned over and asked in a low voice: "So, you must have no cigarettes now, right?" Ji Qiankun was taken aback: "You old guy, what time is it, do you still want to smoke?" "Hey, I have it." Du Cheng smiled treacherously, and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, "Unfortunately, there are only two left." "One, one." Ji Qiankun immediately showed an envious expression. The two old men shared the last two cigarettes in the pack, lit them together again, and sat and puffed on each other. Ji Qiankun only took a few breaths, his face turned purple, and then he coughed violently.Seeing this, Du Cheng hurried over to help him beat his back.Ji Qiankun managed to stop his coughing, gasped for breath, and still held the half cigarette in his hand, refusing to throw it away. "Look at your virtue, just throw it away." Du Cheng was also out of breath, and cursed with a smile on his mouth, "What a fucking waste." "You still have the nerve to talk about me?" Ji Qiankun saw bloodshot eyes at the corner of his mouth, he wiped it off casually, and pointed to Du Cheng's hand that kept rubbing his abdomen, "Can't you hold on?" "Yeah, I'll have to pump the ascites later." Du Cheng curled his lips, and his breathing became short of breath, "Seven or eight times a day, it's annoying me to death." Ji Qiankun took another puff of his cigarette cautiously, exhaled slowly, and stared at the crowd passing by in the yard in a daze. "Old Du, both of us are going to die." "Yes." Du Cheng leaned on the bench, the action just now seemed to have exhausted him, "Fortunately, the obsession is gone, and there is no regret." "Lin Guodong executed it yesterday?" "Yeah." Du Cheng's eyes were half-closed, and his voice became lower and lower, "Injection." Ji Qiankun nodded: "Old Du, there is one more thing, I would like to ask you for a favor." "Oh?" Du Cheng barely raised his eyelids, "Say it." "During the court session yesterday, Yue Xiaohui's family did not file an incidental civil lawsuit." Ji Qiankun paused, "I think this child and her father must be compensated. I have already written my will and left all my property to her. If there is a chance, you persuade her and ask her to accept it." "Okay." Du Cheng lowered his head slowly, his voice was so small that it was almost inaudible. "I have always owed her family too much. Although monetary compensation is meaningless, but..." Ji Qiankun's eyes suddenly widened, and his tone suddenly became high-spirited, "Look, these two children came here as soon as they said it." On the other side of the yard, Wei Jiong and Yue Xiaohui were walking towards this side from a distance, stepping on the terrazzo pedals on the lawn. "Hey, Old Du, do you think Yue Xiaohui left a message for Wei Jiong alone in the video recorded at that time?" Ji Qiankun narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I think these two children are a good match. In the cafe , knowing that there is a bomb, Wei Jiong still refuses to leave Yue Xiaohui." Ji Qiankun was talking to himself, completely unaware that Du Cheng was already lying down on the bench behind him. "I heard that they plan to take the civil service exam and become a policeman after graduation. I think it's quite suitable. Without these two children, I guess this case would not be solved. I really hope to have the opportunity to see them in police uniforms, what do you think?" ..." Under the afternoon sun, Ji Qiankun saw Wei Jiong and Yue Xiaohui walking side by side, laughing all the way.The boy took the fruit basket from the girl's hand.When encountering a terrazzo pedal with a large span, the boy will reach out and hold the girl, and then he will not let go.The boy was still a little shy, but the girl was generous. She even took out a tissue and handed it to the boy, beckoning him to wipe the sweat off his forehead.Looking at them, Ji Qiankun felt great happiness and satisfaction.In his eyes, this young couple is like the sun above his head, hot and bright, with a temperature that never disappears and the power to resist darkness, just like this spring full of expectations.Like a newborn. Like hope.
