I'm just a trainee police officer. I don't really want to solve the case.
Chapter 22 An old case
Qiu Yan didn't know if God was playing a joke on her.
That day was the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year. My mother said that my father would come back that day and would never leave again, and their family would never have to be separated again.
She was very happy, and so were her mother, grandmother, and aunt. Everyone was very happy.
My mother was making dumplings with her favorite leek and pork filling; my grandmother was steaming buns, the big, plump white buns with red dots on them, which looked very festive; my aunt was cutting window paper-cuts with red characters for "Fu".
She was playing with flour and got it all over her body. Her mother didn't blame her, but instead pinched out a piece of dough for her to play with.
At that time, her mother was pregnant, and she would soon have a little brother or sister, so she would have someone to play with.
Her giggles filled the room.
Many years later, looking back on the scene, she felt like she was dreaming.
Her life was torn into two halves on this day, one half was a dream and the other half was a nightmare.
That day, they did not wait for their father to come back, but received the bad news that he had killed someone.
My mother didn't believe that my father would kill someone, and she ran around asking for help, but it was all in vain. They said that there was sufficient evidence and witnesses, and my father was sentenced to death in the first trial.
Upon hearing the news, the mother became so angry that she fell down, resulting in premature birth. Both the adult and the child died.
She lost her mother just like that, and her grandmother said that she couldn't let her lose her father too, so she went to ask the victim's family for help, offering to compensate them as long as they were willing to issue a letter of forgiveness.
In the end, my grandmother compensated them with the house and my father's sentence was changed to life imprisonment.
But they lost their home and could only rent a house in a dilapidated alley.
The family of a murderer does not deserve a peaceful life.
At school, she was the target of ridicule and bullying by her classmates; at home, she was the toy of insults and teasing by the neighborhood children.
They were forced to move again and again, but that was not the end.
My sister-in-law dated several people, but none of them worked out because no one wanted to become the family member of a murderer; because of gossip, her company also fired her in disguise.
My aunt couldn't bear such a blow, so she ran away from home and never came back.
Her grandmother died of overwork when she was ten years old, and she was sent to an orphanage.
Even in the welfare home, children are divided into different levels. There is no real equality in this world, and she is always at the bottom of the food chain.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of her identity as a murderer's daughter.
Every time she thought her life was finally getting better, this identity would jump out and stab her in the back.
This is true for Gu Dacheng and Xue Pingyang as well.
When I am making love with you, I will say that I don’t care who you are, you are you, and I only like you.
But once they find out that she is the daughter of a murderer, they will blame her for all the misfortunes and turn against her faster than turning the pages of a book.
Gu Dacheng looked righteous. It was obvious that he had a new love, but he used her identity as the daughter of a murderer to force her to divorce, and he even said it was for the future of his son.
But she couldn't refute this reason.
Her father was a murderer, but what had she done wrong that she had to bear the shackles for the rest of her life?
The identity of being the daughter of a murderer was like a spider web that stuck to her tightly, making her unable to shake it off or break free, and it made it hard for her to breathe.
She hated her father, very much!
If he hadn't killed someone, his mother wouldn't have died, his aunt wouldn't have left home, and she wouldn't have lived such a miserable life.
If she had a choice, she would rather not have a father.
Qiu Yan burst into tears in the interrogation room, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered over the years.
Qi Lei, who was watching the interrogation through a transparent glass in another room, turned his head and asked Su Xiaoxiao who was standing next to him.
"How do you feel about this case?"
"Qiu Yan is so pitiful."
This is what Su Xiaoxiao was thinking. When she first met her, she didn't have a good impression of her. Later, when she saw the injuries on her body, she thought she was too cowardly and didn't even dare to resist domestic violence. She didn't expect that she had such a tragic past.
Qi Lei glanced at her and saw tears in Su Xiaoxiao's eyes. He shook his head, saying that girls are easily affected by emotions.
Not only Su Xiaoxiao, but even Zhu Yujie in the interrogation room wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands and stood up to hand Qiu Yan a tissue.
"I'm not asking how you feel about Qiu Yan. I'm asking how you feel about this case."
"At the moment, it seems that there is no flaw in Qiu Yan's words."
"Yes, there is no loophole. With your testimony as a police officer, she was being assaulted at the time, and killing her is self-defense." Qi Lei nodded. Although he felt something was strange, he had no clue for the moment. It might be because he had been a criminal policeman for too long and was too suspicious.
[Meow, trigger the system's hidden mission: catch the murderer of Jingxingzi No. 0 robbery and wounding case, time limit 7 days.]
Su Xiaoxiao, who was talking to Qi Lei, was petrified when she heard the prompt tone.
What the hell is going on? They are trying Qiu Yan's case here, how come a hidden mission is triggered? !
What the hell is this robbery and assault case? Where is she going to check for such an old number?
[Meow, the host is very smart, the case needs to be solved by the host himself. ]
[Meow, if you complete the task, you will get a random reward. If you fail, 20 years of Aunt Su's life will be deducted.]
[Meow, host, keep going! You can do it! ]
How can I say no? Su Xiaoxiao was no longer able to complain. Now the system had learned to fool her in order to encourage her to solve the case.
The interrogation came to a temporary halt here.
Qi Lei saw Su Xiaoxiao standing there stupidly and thought she was too tired, so he asked her to go back and rest and report back in the afternoon.
Su Xiaoxiao had no time to rest. She had to figure out what the case was before she could find the murderer.
"Captain Qi, have you heard of the [Jingxingzhongzi No. 0] robbery and assault case?" Su Xiaoxiao wrote the case number on a piece of paper and showed it to Qi Lei.
"I haven't heard of it, but looking at the number, it should be a case from more than 20 years ago. Why are you asking about this?" Qi Lei was very confused. When this case happened, Su Xiaoxiao was probably not born yet?
"It's hard to explain this right now, Captain Qi, can you just tell me where I can find the information on this case?"
"Your number should be the number of the Intermediate Court. Now the verdicts are uploaded to the Judgment Documents Network, but this case is too old. I guess you have to go to the court's archives to check."
"Got it. Thank you, Captain Qi." Su Xiaoxiao showed a flattering smile on her face. "Captain Qi, can you help me get a letter of introduction? Otherwise, I guess the court won't be able to investigate me. I promise I'm not doing anything bad."
Qi Lei didn't know what Su Xiaoxiao was up to. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to help her this time. It wasn't a big deal anyway.
"It won't happen again."
Court archives.
Su Xiaoxiao handed over her ID and letter of introduction. When she saw the case she wanted to investigate, the person on duty who received her was a middle-aged woman. She frowned. How could anyone want to see a case from more than 20 years ago? They hadn't even finished clearing it yet.
"This case is too old, and it's difficult to investigate. I can't leave my family alone."
For the sake of the city bureau's criminal investigation team, the eldest sister decided to show leniency.
"See? The last row of shelves are filled with cases from twenty years ago. If you're in a hurry, come in and look for them yourself."
"Okay, thank you, eldest sister."
When Su Xiaoxiao saw the shelves filling up the entire wall, she finally understood why her elder sister had asked her to look for it herself. She probably wouldn't be able to find it herself.
It took Su Xiaoxiao more than two hours to find the file bag of the [Jingxingzhongzi No. 9508] case in a box numbered 0.
There was a layer of dust on the file bag. I dusted off the dust, opened the file bag, and placed on the top was a judgment.
After reading the verdict, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly realized that she had overlooked a very important thing.
If there is a verdict, there must be a defendant. The existence of a defendant means that the murderer was caught in the original case.
The murderer has been caught and sentenced, why is she still being asked to investigate? ! Is the system teasing her?
No, the system won't do anything so boring.
Then there is another possibility, the person who was arrested was not the real criminal, and this was a wrongful case!
The system wants her to find the real murderer and redress the injustice?
This happened more than 20 years ago, and she was not even born then. How can we find out?
Wait, why does the defendant’s situation sound familiar?
The verdict stated that the defendant was Qiu Mingzhang, 28 years old, who had served in the army and had just retired from the army when he committed the crime.
He was sentenced to death in the first instance for robbery and injury, but the sentence was changed to life imprisonment in the second instance.
His surname is Qiu, could he be Qiu Yan’s father?
Qiu Yan's father's case turned out to be a wrongful conviction!!
