Before coming to the hospital, the policeman was still sighing and lamenting the uncertainty of fate. He said that after receiving a notice to investigate the mango orchard during the day, he had met Zeng Laoliu in the village.
Lao Liu asked the policeman what happened, and he needed to come here personally again.
The police then thought that people like Zeng Laoliu might have some "underground channels" for obtaining information about illegal immigrants that even the police were not aware of, so they took out Shi Ji's portrait and asked him if he had seen this person before. .
After taking a look, Lao Liu said he had never seen it, but he could help inquire. Finally, he asked the police for a sketch of Shi Ji's portrait.
The policeman didn't expect Lao Liu to meet Shi Ji. What he wanted was for Lao Liu to "help inquire."
Later, the police suddenly received the task of mediating a conflict between villagers in a neighboring village. After hurriedly saying goodbye to Lao Liu, they did not expect to see Lao Liu again at night, but he turned into a corpse.
Although Monk Tian looks honest and courteous on the outside, he is actually full of nonsense.
Since he was knocked unconscious, where did the blood all over his body come from? How could the person who fainted know that Lao Liu was dead? More importantly, how could he faint if his right arm only suffered some skin trauma?
Monk Tian's level of lying is really too low.
Li Zhudao opened his mouth, wanting to tease him about whether he was bleeding, but considering Monk Tian's thick skin, he would probably hit the snake with a stick and shamelessly "admit" that he was bleeding. Therefore, he put the words back on his lips, and turned to Lu Kai and said that it was better to be discharged from the hospital and take him back to the bureau.
Since he was in good health and "had woken up from a coma," it was natural for him to be discharged from the hospital.
On the way, Li Zhudao handed Monk Tian two cigarettes, but Monk Tian said he did not smoke.
The interrogation of Monk Tian took place the next day.
Faced with the large amount of evidence collected at the scene and the unexplainable logical loopholes in his previous confession, Tian Monk finally admitted that Lao Liu was killed by himself.
Last night, Lao Liu suddenly appeared drunk at Lotus Temple. Monk Tian wanted to drive him away, but Lao Liu thought Monk Tian looked down on him. The two immediately had a quarrel, and then a physical conflict broke out.
During the conflict, Lao Liu pushed Monk Tian to the ground and beat him. This is how the injury on Monk Tian's arm came from.
At this time, Xiao Tan suddenly appeared and came to start a fight. Lao Liu was indiscriminate and gave up beating Monk Tian, and instead chased Xiao Tan. During the chase, Lao Liu cursed and asked why Xiao Tan was clinging to him like a water ghost.
Xiao Tan escaped from the back door, but was thrown to the ground by Lao Liu. Lao Liu was riding on Xiao Tan, pinching Xiao Tan's neck and saying, "I will strangle you to death."
Monk Tian was startled and wanted to pull Lao Liu away, but he couldn't because of his old age and weakness. In desperation, Monk Tian found an iron rod (rebar) in the courtyard, then picked it up and knocked it on Lao Liu's head, trying to knock him out.
As a result, instead of being knocked unconscious, Lao Liu became even more furious and jumped up to beat Monk Tian again. Monk Tian returned to the courtyard. During the "defeat" process, Monk Tian hit Lao Liu on the head several times with an iron rod, and finally knocked Lao Liu to the ground.
Monk Tian immediately went to the back door to check on Xiao Tan's injuries, but found that Xiao Tan had run out of energy. When he came back and looked at Lao Liu, he found that he was no longer angry either.
Xiao Tan's death had nothing to do with Monk Tian, but Lao Liu was killed by him.
Therefore, Monk Tian wanted to send Lao Liu to the hospital for rescue. Maybe it was too late, so he tried to drag Lao Liu's body out, and also tried to carry Lao Liu out, but he gave up soon. Because after just a short time, he was so tired that he was out of breath. Old and weak, Monk Tian had to give up this plan.
The blood stains all over Monk Tian’s body also came from this.
After thinking for a moment, Monk Tian wanted to dig a hole outside the back door and bury the two bodies. However, he took a shovel and shoveled the ground a few times, but found that the soil was too hard and he could not shovel it with his physical strength. A large pit was created that could bury two corpses.
Then, Monk Tian hesitated again whether to dig a hole in another place, but then he thought about it. Even if Lao Liu has no parents and no one cares about him, but Xiao Tan does not, her family will most likely call the police because of her sudden disappearance. , when the police investigate, they will probably
I followed the clues and found this place.
Xiao Tan often comes to the village to look for Lao Liu, and Lao Liu often goes to his Lotus Temple. By the way, Xiao Tan will occasionally come to the Lotus Temple. This is almost known to the whole village.
After much deliberation, Monk Tian finally thought of simply calling the police and surrendering, and maybe he could get a leniency. But when he thought of "lenient treatment", he also thought that if he "didn't know anything", he might be able to "muddle through."
With this naive idea, Monk Tian came up with the idea of calling the police and pretending to be unconscious.
Finally, Monk Tian defended himself: "Comrade police, although I did not surrender when I first called the police, and it was wrong to pretend to be unconscious, Xiaoliu hit me first, and I was forced to fight back. It should be self-defense, right?"
Li Zhudao and Lu Kai, who were sitting opposite him, both had dark faces and said nothing.
I don’t care whether the murder case is self-defense or not, but as long as someone in the murder case takes the initiative to admit that he killed someone and is willing to bear criminal responsibility, it seems that the case can be declared closed.
Li Zhudao stood up, picked up the confession transcript and pen on the table, walked to Monk Tian, and placed the notebook and pen on the table in front of Monk Tian's chest: "Confirm, if you think the record above is no different from your confession, Just sign it."
Monk Tian said "Oh" and pretended to look through it a few times. Finally, he took a pen in his right hand and signed his name in the confirmation column of the paper.
After Li Zhudao took the notebook and pen, he looked at Monk Tian and suddenly asked, "Why are you still lying?"
Monk Tian's eyelids twitched and he denied it: "I didn't lie. I was the one who killed Lao Liu. You don't think I killed Xiao Tan too, right?"
Li Zhudao didn't reply, turned around and sat back in his seat.
Lu Kai pulled the notebook from the table: "Captain Li, you better ask, and I'll take notes. I get angry when I see this old guy, and he thinks we are fools."
Li Zhudao said "Okay", and after thinking for a moment, he picked up a sketch of Shi Ji's portrait from the table, then walked to Monk Tian and put the paper in front of his eyes: "Do you know this person?"
Monk Tian took a look, and under Li Zhudao's close gaze, he finally had to nod and admit: "I know...Xiao Shi broke his leg on the mountain, and I happened to run into him. He took him back to the Lotus Temple to cultivate for a while, and left after his leg recovered. Already."
Li Zhudao took back the portrait and sat back: "How long has this man stayed in Bailian Temple? Lao Liu often goes to Bailian Temple. Have you ever seen him?"
Monk Tian shook his head: "Xiao Shi stayed in the Lotus Temple for less than a month. During the recovery period of his legs and feet, except for occasionally going out for a walk, he stayed in his room the rest of the time and did not like to meet strangers. During this period, Lao Liu also I’ve been to the temple several times, but Xiao Shi always stays in his room and doesn’t go out. They’ve never met each other.”
Li Zhudao's face was full of suspicion: "Shi Ji is not a lady, so he deliberately stayed in the room without seeing anyone. Don't you think it's strange?"
Monk Tian was a little surprised: "Um...Xiao Shi is an illegal immigrant, so he is afraid of meeting strangers."
After thinking for a while, he added: "He and Xiao Wu... are my little cubs. They look very similar. Looking at him, it's like seeing Xiao Wu, so..."
The implication of Tian Monk's words is that he knew that Shi Ji was an illegal immigrant, but because he loved his son so much, he took him in to recuperate.
Li Zhudao was noncommittal and asked, "You just signed with your right hand, so you're not left-handed, right?"
Monk Tian hesitated for a moment and nodded in recognition.
"According to what you said, when Lao Liu was riding on Xiao Tan to commit murder, you hit him with an iron rod on his head. Did you stand behind him, or hit him with the stick at the side or in front of him?" Li Zhudao asked.
If Monk Tian stood on the side of Lao Liu's body, or in front of him, he would definitely be seen by Lao Liu. In this way, it was impossible for Lao Liu not to be on guard or not to avoid. But in order to confirm, and to prevent Monk Tian from changing his story temporarily, Li Zhudao deliberately asked this question.
Monk Tian thought for a while and replied as expected: "I stood behind Lao Liu and hit him on the head with a stick."
"When the stick went down, did it hit Lao Liu on the top of his head or on the side of his head?" Li Zhudao asked again.
Monk Tian hesitated for a moment.
Then replied: "On the right side, I hit the right side of his head."
Li Zhudao smiled: "Under normal circumstances, if one person stands behind another person and wants to hit the sap of the person in front, he should hold the stick and strike from top to bottom, or strike from the same side while holding the stick. If you hold the stick and place it on the other side of your body, it is unlikely that you will hit the person in front of you back."
"For example, since you are not left-handed, you should be holding the iron rod in your right hand. At the same time, because you are standing behind Lao Liu, the stick should hit the top of your head or the right side of Lao Liu's head, and It is more likely to hit the right side of the head because this position is convenient and easy to exert force."
"Did you think so just now, so you said you hit Lao Liu on the right side of his head with a stick?"
Monk Tian moved his Adam's apple up and down and said, "Don't accuse people unjustly... There is no need to lie about this kind of thing. I just remember very clearly that a stick hit him in this position."
At the end of his speech, he lowered his head and pointed to the right side of his head.
Li Zhudao let out a long "Oh": "I remember it so clearly... The problem is that there are scars on the top of Lao Liu's head and the left side of his head, as well as on his forehead, and the left side of his head was even knocked into one 'The concave shape is a comminuted fracture. This should also be his fatal injury. However, there are no traces of injury on the right side of the head. How can we explain this?"
Monk Tian's expression changed drastically and he smacked his lips, but he had no way to defend himself.
Li Zhudao changed the subject: "Since Lao Liu was released from prison, he has basically never engaged in any thief or petty crimes. This point has been clearly emphasized by both the police station police and the village cadres."
