Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

But these are all key to a not guilty plea.

Wang Qiang was in pain, and he was also suffering. He could only light a cigarette and wait for what was to come.

"That beast Liu Jin carried my wife into the house... My wife is mute... She... she was raped by Liu Jin like that."

"Afterwards, Liu Jin came out of my house and threw a divorce agreement at me, telling me to divorce my wife."

“I refused, and he tore up the divorce papers and kept hitting me, hitting my head, hitting my stomach…stomping me on the ground…this wasn’t the first time he’d done this to me…I hate myself, I hate my own powerlessness…”

"Wait a minute." Qi Tongwei sensed something was amiss. "You mean, this isn't the first time Liu Jin has done something like this?"

“Many times, many times, that beast raped my wife many times…” At this point, Wang Qiang could no longer hold back and slammed his head against the interrogation table.

Instantly, a large area of ​​his forehead turned red.

Qi Tongwei immediately stopped him, "Calm down, please calm down."

“I can’t calm down…” Wang Qiang cried bitterly, “I’m not a man. I’m a coward for watching my wife being violated.

At this moment, Qi Tongwei also felt a tightness in his chest.

No one knows what this man went through.

Humans have seven emotions and six desires.

Even as an outsider, Qi Tongwei felt despair; one can only imagine how desperate the person involved must have felt.

Calm down... that's just me fooling myself.

Perhaps Wang Qiang's commotion was too great, attracting the attention of the police officers on guard.

"Director Qi, do you need any help?"

"Need not."

"Okay, feel free to call us anytime if you need anything."

"understood."

Even after the two police officers left, Wang Qiang was still in a state of collapse.

Qi Tongwei knew that asking any further questions would be cruel.

But some things, even if cruel, must be done; this is the only chance to help Wang Qiang.

"I'll give you five minutes to calm down. We'll talk after that. Also... I sympathize with you, but I also want to remind you that I'm helping you, and Hao Ping needs you, and Juan Juan needs you too."

Upon hearing the names Hao Ping and Juan Juan, Wang Qiang buried his head in his arms, his shoulders heaving.

About ten minutes later, he raised his head again.

His eyes were filled with sorrow.

"Calm down?"

"Ah."

"Shall I continue asking?"

"it is good."

"You said Liu Jin raped your wife more than once, do you have any witnesses?"

“Yes…” Wang Qiang lowered his eyes, “The neighbors in the alley all know… they all know.”

"The neighbors all know?"

"Yes, because that beast Liu Jin sometimes doesn't even hide from people when he's drunk."

"Since this wasn't the first time, why wasn't the police called?"

"Call the police?" Wang Qiang gave a wry smile. "Liu Jin's father is an entrepreneur in our area. He knows a lot of police officers. What good would it do for us ordinary people to call the police?"

"Ignorant of the law!"

Qi Tongwei was really sad.

Lamenting its misfortune, anger is indisputable.

How can you conclude that calling the police is useless without even having called them?

What kind of thought is it?

Putting all that aside, Qi Tongwei asked again, "What made you so ruthless as to kill Liu Jin? Anger? Or... something else?"

“I was scared, I was scared!” Wang Qiang continued, “After Liu Jinqiang beat me up, he threw the key to the dog leash to me. It was at this moment that my wife came out of the house. Her clothes were torn to shreds, and her face and nostrils were covered in blood… She kept gesturing with her fingers to show her despair and sadness.”

"I was really going crazy at the time."

So he chased after him, wanting to find Liu Jin and demand an explanation.

"When he saw me chasing after him, he punched and kicked me again, knocking me to the ground. He even said that if I didn't get a divorce, he would kill my daughter."

"I was terribly frightened."

"As soon as I looked up, I saw Liu Jin walking to the car..."

“I thought he was going to threaten my daughter with a machete used to kill dogs… Then, my mind went blank, and I grabbed a fruit knife from the corner and rushed over.”

"But I didn't intend to kill him."

"I'm just scared, really scared."

“I’m afraid he’ll kill me if he gets the machete, and I’m even more afraid he’ll kill Juanjuan if he gets the machete.”

“They killed us just like they killed the rhubarb.”

"I'm so scared."

"..."

At this point, Qi Tongwei had fully understood what had happened.

From Wang Qiang's perspective, he just seemed incredibly foolish.

From a stranger's perspective, one can't help but feel sorry for him.

Wang Qiang is ignorant of the law.

What he did was simply the instinct of a father and husband...

Chapter 157 Bearing Too Much

What is law?

It deters bad people from doing evil.

Let good people stand tall.

This is Qi Tongwei's understanding.

To be fair, from any perspective, Qi Tongwei felt sympathy for Wang Qiang.

What's incomprehensible is that, given that his wife has been defiled so many times, why didn't he choose to use the law to protect himself and his family?

Is constant tolerance effective?

Useless.

Perhaps Wang Qiang thought calling the police would be useless, but why wasn't he even willing to try?

Even if we take a step back and assume that calling the police is useless, as long as there is a police report, Qi Tongwei can stand on the moral high ground to defend Wang Qiang in this counterattack.

But he did nothing at all.

Based on past cases, it is difficult to characterize Wang Qiang's actions as legitimate self-defense.

The assault on Hao Ping by the victim Liu Jin had already ended. Wang Qiang's suspicion that he went back to the car to get a knife was merely a subjective guess and could not be used as evidence.

Putting aside personal feelings, in the eyes of most prosecutors, he committed an excessive killing.

Qi Tongwei had a headache.

Wang Qiang said he didn't want to kill anyone at the time, but picked up the knife out of fear.

Qi Tongwei believed this, but the other prosecutors didn't, the people's supervisors didn't, the legal experts didn't, the people's representatives didn't, and even the hearing moderator wouldn't believe it.

To convince everyone at the hearing, more compelling evidence must be presented.

……

It was already evening when I came out of the detention center.

Qi Tongwei's mind was in turmoil.

how to say.

A person's mood can change because of the people and things around them.

For example, Qi Tongwei could have a sweet day if he was with Zhong Xiaoai.

But he spent half of today with Wang Qiang's family.

The family's unfortunate emotions unconsciously affected Qi Tongwei.

Seeing his tense expression, Hou Liangping cautiously asked, "Senior, it's getting late, how about... you treat me to a meal?"
