Xia Tian saw that Liu Gen was hesitating, so he said, "In this case, let's find a quiet place to talk."
Liu Gen thought of what Jia Hekai said in the morning, "If Zhang Qiang dies, Zhou Yongheng's affairs will be put on hold." If the media can be used to reveal the fact that Zhou Yongheng was replaced in college, it might be helpful to him.
"Okay." Liu Gen stood up: "Uncle Xia, I will take you to meet someone first."
Xia Tian and his daughter followed Liu Gen to the room where Linghu Yun's parents lived in the university guest house. Zhou Yongheng had just brought dinner to the two old people, but they hadn't eaten yet. Linghu Yun's mother was crying, and his father was sighing, but he didn't seem to have anything to do.
appetite.
"Brother Gen..." When Zhou Yongheng saw Liu Gen bringing someone over, he wanted to say something, but then he kept silent and hurriedly introduced Liu Gen to the two old men.
"Uncle, aunt, this is Reporter Xia." Liu Gen introduced Xia Tian to the two old people: "Uncle Xia, they are the parents of the victim Linghu Yun. They came from their hometown last night."
After exchanging pleasantries, Xia Tian began to ask some questions to Linghu Yun's parents, but Liu Gen called Zhou Yongheng out of the room.
"Brother Sweet Potato, after a while, Uncle Xia may ask you about being replaced in the college entrance examination. Please tell the truth. Now that Zhang Qiang has committed suicide, Li Tianyi may not have explained the motive of his murder to the police. At present, we can only use the media to
Only by reporting your case truthfully and arousing a strong response from public opinion can your grievances be redressed as quickly as possible."
"I listen to Brother Gen." Zhou Yongheng nodded in agreement, and then whispered to Liu Gen: "Brother Gen, Li Tianyi's mother came to the guest house this afternoon."
"What are you here for?" Liu Gen frowned and asked.
"I was there at the time, and Li Tianyi's mother proposed to pay Linghu Yun's parents a sum of compensation and ask them to give up suing Li Tianyi," Hongshu Ge said.
"That's unreasonable! Do you think you can do anything if you have money?" Liu Gen said angrily: "What is the attitude of Linghu Yun's parents?"
"Of course I don't agree. Linghu Yun's mother said that although we are very poor, we will not sell our lives to others!" Brother Hongshu replied.
"Yes, what Auntie said is so good. Although we are poor, we will not sell our lives!" Liu Gen sighed.
"Brother Gen, I'm worried that because Li Tianyi's family is rich and well-connected, the court will not sentence Li Tianyi to death if they have established connections."
"It is natural to kill someone to pay for life! If Li Tianyi can avoid death for a deliberate murder crime like this, then this society is really fucked up!" Liu Gen almost yelled, uttering dirty words that were rarely uttered.
Xia Yang opened the door at this time: "Brother Liu Gen, my dad asked you two to go in."
After Xia Tian entered the room with Brother Hongshu and Liu Gen, he asked Zhou Yongheng: "You were replaced by someone in the college entrance examination and went to university, right?"
Zhou Yongheng told Linghu Yun's parents about him, and Xia Tian learned about it from two old people.
"Yes." Brother Sweet Potato nodded and replied.
"Then can you tell me what happened in detail?" Xia Tian turned on the recorder.
"Okay." Zhou Yongheng glanced at Liu Gen and began to tell about his unfortunate experiences over the past year.
Liu Gen also told Xia Xia about the suspicions he had asked Yang Rucheng to provide clues to.
Time passed quietly with questions and answers. By the time Xia Tian fully asked, it was already past ten o'clock.
Xia Tian took out his cell phone and called Yang Rucheng.
"Captain Yang, how did Li Tianyi admit his murder motive in his explanation... Oh, really, so he only admitted that he hit someone while driving drunk and was worried that the deceased was alive, so he got out of the car and stabbed him with a knife.
Killed the deceased Linghu Yun eight times... Then why did he prepare a knife in advance... What... impossible! Didn't the autopsy report say that the murderer used a professional military knife? Why did it turn into a fruit knife now?
...What he said...you, the famous Fire Eye, believe it...can't find the murder weapon...can't it prove that he used a saber prepared in advance? Oh...I know, I'm disturbing your rest.
Haha... Don't forget that I am a reporter. It is my profession to break the casserole and get to the bottom of things..."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Tian said with a wry smile: "Li Tianyi's family hired a well-known lawyer, and now Li Tianyi insists that he was driving drunk and causing an accident, and he killed someone in impulse. He did not admit that he committed murder intentionally."
"This bastard is lying!" When Liu Gen heard this, he cursed angrily.
"Reporter Xia, if you kill someone while driving under the influence, will you be sentenced to death?" Linghu Yun's mother asked.
"It's hard to say. His defense lawyer will definitely defend him on the grounds that Li Tianyi voluntarily surrendered, hit someone while driving drunk, and did irrational things when he lost control of his emotions. In that case, the judge will use his discretion.
Considering the sentencing standards, Li Tianyi may be exempted from the death penalty..." Xia Xia analyzed.
"Then my Yuner's death was in vain! If such a murderer should not be shot, I would also kill someone drunk!" Linghu Yun's father said excitedly.
"Uncle Xia, if the incident of Zhou Yongheng being replaced by Li Tianyi in college was reported, how much impact would it have on the trial of Li Tianyi's murder case?" Liu Gen asked.
Xia Tian shook his head and replied: "The reports are just news and cannot be used as court testimony."
"Then how can we prove that Li Tianyi mistook Linghu Yun for Zhou Yongheng's murder?" Liu Gen asked again.
"To prove that Li Tianyi had a premeditated plan, there must be a witness, that is, someone proves that he had already planned to kill Zhou Yongheng, or saw him following him privately." Xia Tian frowned and answered.
Liu Gen repeated what Xia Tian said, and suddenly thought of someone: "Someone can confirm these actions of Li Tianyi."
"Who?" Xia Tian asked immediately.
"Dabao." Liu Gen replied: "He once mentioned to me that some time before the murder, Li Tianyi often drove out, leaving early and returning late. This shows that he must be following Linghu Yun, because he has never met Zhou
Yongheng, regarded Linghu Yun as Zhou Yongheng."
"But the person you're talking about didn't see Li Tianyi following Linghu Yun? This is just your hypothesis and cannot be used as evidence." Xia Tian refuted Liu Gen's hypothesis with one sentence.
"Then maybe Dabao knows something else and hasn't told me." The more Liu Gen thought about it, the more he felt that he should talk to Dabao again, so he took out his cell phone and called Dabao's home.
After Dabao officially started working in Shiweitian, he mainly worked with the steamed bun master in the branch. Li Tianyi was caught committing murder, and he was also panicking. He was afraid that Li Tianyi would reveal some of the bad things they had done in the past, and the police would come to his door at any time.
When he received a call from Liu Gen, he was at the canteen run by his mother. He slept in the canteen at night.
"Brother Gen, what's the matter?" When Dabao heard it was Liu Gen, he thought it was so late and Liu Gen was calling, something must be wrong.
"Dabao, you once told me that before Li Tianyi killed someone, he often drove out, leaving early and returning late, right?" Liu Gen asked.
"Yes, he was indeed very abnormal during that time. I squatted as a cat at the door of his community for several nights." Dabao replied.
"Then do you know where he went? Why is it so abnormal?" Liu Gen asked again.
"I don't know where he is going. He is driving very fast and I can't follow him." Dabao replied: "Brother Gen, what's the matter? Why did you ask me about this again?"
"I suspect that Li Tianyi's abnormal behavior during that period was to track the murdered Linghu Yun, or that he was looking for an opportunity to strike." Liu Gen said on the phone: "Dabao, think about it carefully, I will let you start again.
After returning to him, did he ever mention Zhou Yongheng or Brother Hongshu in front of you? Or did he let slip that he wanted to deal with Zhou Yongheng? "
On the other end of the phone, Dabao was silent for a while and replied: "No, Li Tianyi always seems to be on guard against me and rarely says anything in front of me... Wait... I remember, the night of the accident, Li Tianyi called
He asked me to have a drink at a bar, but when I got there, he was drunk. Because there was going to be a typhoon that night, I was thinking about helping my mother collect the things outside the canteen, so I told him that there was a typhoon tonight and that he should go back early.
At that time, he laughed at me for being timid and even afraid of typhoons, so he yelled at me to get out. When I got up to leave, he even cursed and said, 'F*ck... they're not a thing... a monk... I was stunned...'
Let's go... Even your Dabao... is just a bastard who eats the inside and outside... If the monk and Er are still here... there is no need for me to follow the roasted sweet potato seller all day long... I have to torture you to death, why don't you do it?
I'll wait...' In this case, I was still thinking in my mind at that time that the last sentence Li Tianyi said, 'I have to torture you to death, you just wait for me', meant that he wanted to torture me to death, which kept me awake all night.
Have a good sleep..."
"Did you really hear the words 'selling roasted sweet potatoes' mentioned in his mouth? He also said that he was following him all day long. Did he really say that at the time?" When Liu Gen heard this, he became interested and glanced at Xia Tian.
They glanced at each other.
"You absolutely heard it right, he did say that, because at that time his back was towards the door of the wine shop. When I heard him say this, it was at the moment when I stood up and walked behind him, I thought he meant it
He told me that he called me a bastard who eats everything, but at the time I didn’t think about what he said about following the roasted sweet potato seller, I was only worried that I would suffer from Li Tianyi..." Dabao kept chattering on the phone, like
To show that everything he said to Liu Gen was true.
"Dabao, what you said to me now, do you dare to say it again in front of the police in the future? Or when the trial of Li Tianyi's murder case opens, will you stand up and testify in front of the judge?" Liu Gen interrupted Dabao and asked.
"I dare! This is a fact. I am not afraid of Li Tianyi now." Dabao replied loudly.
"Okay, what you told me is very important. Thank you, Dabao. However, only you and I know about this matter, and we cannot mention it to anyone for the time being." Liu Gen finally warned.
After Liu Gen hung up the phone, he excitedly said to Xia Tian and the others: "There are witnesses this time. Dabao can prove that Li Tianyi had planned to kill Zhou Yongheng, but he didn't know at that time that the person selling roasted sweet potatoes was no longer Zhou Yongheng.
It’s just Linghu Yun.”
"That's great. If this is the case, Li Tianyi will definitely die!" Xia Tian also felt very excited: "I will work overtime tonight to sort out the content of the interview with you. It will be published in the newspaper tomorrow. This time, I will submit it directly to
Nanhai Morning Post, this is an explosive news, it will definitely cause shock in the whole city!"
