Therefore, in the first instance of the court, Zhou Xiaolu was identified as the principal culprit and Shi Jun as an accessory, and were sentenced to three years and one year in prison respectively.
After the first-instance verdict came out, Mr. Feng was so angry that he yelled at the door of the court: "The land master dug out his eyes to watch the Bodhisattva defecate, and the King of Hell issued a notice... If I had known this, why would I have taken her to report to the police? Is it any justice?"
Of course, Mr. Feng, an old and angry man, chose to appeal.
After the appeal, the defense lawyer argued hard in the second instance court. The subjective malice of Zhou Xiaolu and Shi Jun's crimes was not great. Their purpose of committing the crime was revenge rather than profit, and the amount of the crime was only 500 yuan, which was not a large amount. In addition, Zhou Xiaolu helped the police catch multiple human traffickers and destroyed two human trafficking gangs, which was a great achievement.
The above reasons were ultimately adopted by the court. The second-instance judge agreed to modify the verdict, canceling Zhou Xiaolu and Shi Jun's fixed-term imprisonment, and instead criticizing and educating them.
Shi Jun's second confession was recorded after Shang Biao's.
According to this confession, the Shashi police had already treated Shi Jun as a suspect.
Shang Biao reminded them that the person who killed Zhou Xiaolu might also be a woman. At the same time, the confessions of Wang Kang and Shang Biao both showed that Zhou Xiaolu had a fierce conflict with Shi Jun before she was killed.
Looking at it this way, Shi Jun is indeed suspected of committing the crime.
"What is your relationship with Zhou Xiaolu?" Su Chao asked straight to the point.
"As I said, we are just good friends..." Shi Jun looked a little tired.
"Not a 'lover'?"
"What do you mean?" Shi Jun looked up at Su Chao.
"You were originally a pair of 'lovers', but Zhou Xiaolu recently fell in love with someone else, and there was an irreconcilable conflict between you..."
"You can't find the murderer, so you doubt me?"
"70%-90% of cases of rape, obscenity, and conflict-related homicides are committed by acquaintances. We previously thought that the suspect should be a male, so we excluded you. This was an oversight in our work. Through further investigation, we fully understood the relationship between you and Evidence that the relationship between Zhou Xiaolu is really a ‘lover’…”
"If you really had sufficient evidence, you wouldn't ask me like this. Besides, what substantive evidence can there be for this kind of thing? Unless... you caught someone in bed. However, there is nothing I dare not admit. I The relationship with her is indeed the kind of relationship you mentioned. But, what does this mean? She and I are lovers, and there was a conflict before the crime, so I must be the murderer? "
This Shi Jun is not simple.
Looking at Shi Jun, who was calm and clear-headed in front of him, Su Chao seemed to suddenly realize that this man had collaborated with Zhou Xiaolu to sell people to human traffickers. Such a person is bold and careful, has strong logical thinking ability, is good at pretending to be a pig and eats the tiger, and the conventional interrogation methods of showing off his cleverness will only make people laugh and have no effect in front of her.
In the recorded conversations of the past few days, Shi Jun's performance was far less calm and rational than he is now. Did she suddenly learn of Zhou Xiaolu's murder and her mood collapsed? Or is she pretending on purpose?
This is the doubt of the few people who watched the video in front of the transcript, and it is also the doubt of Su Chao.
Therefore, Su Chao was extremely vigilant.
"We didn't say you were the murderer, so why are you so anxious to clear away the suspicion?"
Shi Jun was speechless, snorted coldly, and didn't answer.
"Let's first talk about how you and Zhou Xiaolu started and how they ended?"
"Does this have something to do with Xiaolu's murder?"
"If you don't tell me, it's probably related."
Shi Jun was speechless again. She knew that she had become the object of suspicion. If she could not prove her innocence, these people's investigations and similar strange questions about her would be endless.
"You are doubting me now. Besides, there are some things between me and her that are completely unconfirmed. So, no matter what I say is true or false, you won't believe it?"
"Just say it, we will make 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: "With me like this, in your eyes, am I the one who takes the initiative between me and Xiaolu? In other words, do you think it's me? I chased Xiaolu, but in the end she changed her mind, so I violently assaulted her in anger and even killed her?"
Su Chao made no reply. However, judging from their appearance, temperament and personality, as well as the existing clues and information, this possibility is very high.
"I was bent, do you believe it or not?"
"Keep talking." Su Chao was still noncommittal.
"In high school, Xiaolu was deceived into Jinhua Mountain. You should know this. The man named San Mulezi at that time left a great psychological shadow on Xiaolu, so much so that she became extremely disgusted with men in the future. .”
"Xiao Lu is good-looking and has a good temperament. She is like an elf coming out of a painting. Such a girl must be loved by everyone."
"I like her too. But my love for her should not be this kind of love at first. It's like a soft, fragrant baby. After you see it, you can't help but want to kiss it. , give it a pinch. In my eyes, Xiaolu was like this from the beginning. When I say this, you should understand, right?"
Su Chao nodded expressionlessly.
"After that incident, my mother was sentenced. Xiaolu also became much more enthusiastic about me, especially after going to college. She took the initiative and slowly made some very affectionate moves toward me. My father, when I was very young, Passed away due to illness. I always thought it was because my mother was sentenced and I became an 'orphan', and she felt sorry for it, so I didn't take it seriously."
"My mother deserves it, but she is still my mother. Xiaolu is still Xiaolu. Even if there is no Xiaolu, there will still be others who will send my mother to prison sooner or later. Therefore, I have never done anything because of my mother. Xiaolu is still worried about the matter..."
"So, when did you start?" Su Chao interrupted. He was more interested in the emotional entanglement between the two of her than Shi Jun's self-expression.
Shi Jun thought for a moment and said, "One time, we were sleeping together. I was leaning on her shoulder, not sleeping very deeply. I could feel her rubbing my index finger all the time. It was itching and I couldn't explain it. It was very comfortable... Then, she suddenly came to rub my face again, bit my ear, and said she... I said, I like men. She said, men are too disgusting, and I don't have anyone right now anyway. Don't you want to try it with her? I don't know why, but I couldn't help but agreed. That's probably how it started... I can't remember the time, it should have been my freshman year."
Su Chao frowned, as if he couldn't find any illogical loopholes in her words, and said, "Before the incident, was it because she was in another relationship, so you had a conflict?"
"You said the opposite."
"What's the meaning?"
"It was me who fell in love with someone else, 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 in agreement, and then continued: "Do you think Xiaolu will like that milk tea shop owner, Shang Biao? I have only ever heard that toads want to eat swan meat, but never heard of swans wanting to eat toad meat..."
"Then what is going on between her and Shang Biao?"
"She was waiting for me there... and then gave Shang Biao an opportunity."
"Didn't you pester her to prevent her from returning to the dormitory?"
"I already have a boyfriend, why should I bother her?"
Su Chao thought about it and felt that it should be like this.
Shi Jun added: "Shang Biao told you that I am pestering Xiaolu, right? This should be what Xiaolu said, and she can only say this. She can't tell Shang Biao that she is pestering me, right? With her The reason for the quarrel in front of the milk tea shop was because I told her that I couldn't stand her being like this."
After a moment of pause, Shi Jun continued: "Grandpa Xiaolu has been talking to her recently, asking her not to just focus on studying. If there is a boy she likes in school, then fall in love. He said that if there is no love in college, college will be boring. It was all in vain. He also said that their house was deserted and the population was not prosperous. Both Xiaolu and I knew that what grandpa meant beyond words was that he wanted to hug his great-grandson. Because of this, Xiaolu might also try to go Close to men..."
"That is to say, before Zhou Xiaolu was killed, her psychology and emotions should be quite contradictory. On the one hand, emotionally, she could not accept your 'transferring love'; on the other hand, intellectually, because of her grandfather, she Do you also want to return to marriage and the life of an ordinary person?" Su Chao asked.
Shi Jun nodded and said, "That's right. Otherwise, based on Shang Biao, do you think Xiaolu, who is blind, can see him?"
Su Chao did not refute, and seemed to acquiesce in Shi Jun's point of view.
"What happened between you and Zhou Xiaolu on the night of June 29th?" Su Chao asked.
"Nothing happened... It's just that she came to the house I rented and saw my boyfriend and I sleeping together without clothes... I deliberately let her see this... I think this is good for me and her. , we all have to return to life eventually. So, after she left without saying a word, I didn’t chase her."
"Why do you remember this time and what happened that day so clearly?"
"It's my birthday that day. You have my ID number. Just look at it and you'll know."
Yang Feng turned to the first page of the transcript. Su Chao took a glance and found that this was indeed the case.
"What did you do on July 2?"
Shi Jun thought for a while and said, "I should be playing games. On my birthday, after Xiaolu left, I had no intention of doing anything and just played games for a week."
"what game?"
"legend."
"Has Zhou Xiaolu contacted you during this time?"
