On July 21, 2008, it was the vibrant summer in Xinjiang, and the majestic Tianshan Mountains showed their unique charm. And in this sunny and beautiful weather, a condemned prisoner will end his life of sin at the foot of the beautiful Tianshan Mountain.
Tien ShanThe person who was executed today is Zhang Deyue, a felony in a case of kidnapping, murder, and mutilation, and his methods are cruel and despicable, and he was sentenced to death by the Intermediate People's Court of Bole City, Xinjiang.
Judge Lin Jing looked at Zhang Deyue walking towards him against the bright sun. At the moment of life and death, human nature is always the truest thing, and it is normal for most death row prisoners to lose control of their emotions before leaving.
Unlike the death row prisoners she had seen in the past, Zhang Deyue did not show fear of death, but had a calm face. Lin Jing has been enforcing the law for many years and has read countless people, and she can sensitively perceive that the calm of this 28-year-old young man is not numb and calm, but more like he is planning something.
A reminder from the bailiff interrupted Lin Jing's contemplation. Lin Jing straightened her clothes, stroked the French emblem on her chest, solemnly read out the approval of the death penalty of the Supreme People's Court, and verified Zhang Deyue's identity.
The execution ground was silent, and the gunman was in position behind Zhang Deyue, and the bullet was loaded, just waiting for the judge's order. Just as Lin Jing was about to open his mouth to give an order, Zhang Deyue changed his previous calmness and suddenly became restless, and he shouted at Lin Jing:"Judge, I have a major case to report, please give me a chance to make meritorious contributions! ”
Speaking of Zhang Deyue, there are more than a dozen files in the archives of the Bole City Intermediate Court, recording the extremely bad crimes committed by this young man. In the early morning of March 6, 2007, Shi Weichun, a villager in Bole City, received a ransom from kidnappers, who claimed to have kidnapped his nephew Shi Xinjin and demanded a ransom of 150,000 yuan.
At that time, Shi Weichun had just been woken up by **, and his mental state was very bad, so he said to **"Don't be kidding, I've watched too many Hong Kong movies. ”It hung up cleanly**.
It's not that Shi Weichun is indifferent to his nephew's life and death, but he doesn't think about it at all. He himself is a farmer who eats from God, he has no savings in his hand, and his nephew Shi Xinjin is 22 years old, so it is so easy to have an accident, so he takes that ** as a prank.
The old people in the countryside didn't feel that something was wrong until his nephew didn't return for a day, and he hurriedly took Shi Xinjin's parents to the public security bureau to report the case. After the police in Bole City took over the case, after investigation and investigation, they found that Zhang Deyue, a friend who drank with Shi Xinjin that night, was suspected of committing a major crime.
When the police arrived at the house where Zhang Deyue lived, Zhang Deyue's legs were weak and she was slumped on the bed. This reaction deepened the suspicion of him.
But Zhang Deyue didn't say a word when she arrived at the Criminal Investigation Brigade, neither said her movements that night, nor her relationship with Shi Xinjin, and silently resisted the police's questioning.
In 2005, Zhang Deyue was imprisoned for defrauding local farmers of 60,000 yuan, and it was Batu who was responsible for interrogating him at that time.
At that time, Zhang Deyue left a deep impression on him, he looked young and immature, but the city government was extremely deep, and his psychological quality was also very good. The interrogation process was extremely difficult, and in the end, in the face of strong physical evidence, Zhang Deyue pleaded guilty and surrendered to justice.
Goodbye to the old opponent, Batu understands that Zhang Deyue will not cry when he sees the coffin, and he will not confess his guilt without ironclad evidence. Sure enough, three hours passed, and Zhang Deyue remained silent. If evidence of Zhang Deyue's crime is not available within 12 hours, ** will have to release him.
Wang Yongfeng, a trace expert, was also very anxious, and he took technicians to carefully search for clues inch by inch in Zhang Deyue's temporary rented house. Suddenly, on a flower pot on the floor in the house, Wang Yongfeng found a low-angle splattered bloodstain.
What no one wants to see has happened, splashed bloodstains are generally the bloodstain state caused by the rupture of human arteries, indicating that people are in danger of life, and ** can't find Shi Xinjin, Wang Yongfeng speculated that Shi Xinjin was likely to be killed and divided.
In order to get the ironclad evidence of ** Zhang Deyue, the criminal investigators at the scene were starving and kept looking for Shi Xinjin's bones around the rental house. In the second half of the night, there was finally a major discovery:In a pile of ashes at the entrance of the courtyard, criminal investigators found several human bones.
In front of ironclad evidence, Zhang Deyue finally spoke. Zhang Deyue is from Gansu, she has been working hard since she was a child, and she has been playing in society for a few years, and she found that the money was too slow, so she started the idea of kidnapping for ransom.
In January 2007, Zhang Deyue met Shi Xinjin, who claimed to be a rich second generation, and Shi Xinjin said that his father and uncle earned more than 100,000 yuan a day. As a result, such a "stupid person with a lot of money" lord was targeted by Zhang Deyue, and the two became friends.
On March 5, Zhang Deyue thought that the time was ripe, so she kidnapped Shi Xinjin and demanded a ransom of 150,000 yuan from the "rich" Shi Weichun. Zhang Deyue** thought that Shi Xinjin, who was known as the rich second generation in front of him, was a poor ghost, and after being ridiculed by Shi Weichun for "watching too many Hong Kong movies", he became angry and killed Shi Xinjin and broke his body.
Later, Zhang Deyue was sentenced to death by the Bole Intermediate People's Court because of his cruel methods. And at the last moment when Zhang Deyue was dying, the opening scene happened.
Zhang Deyue's words before his sentence took those present by surprise, and the meritorious service of Dai was legally recognized. In 2008, the Code of Criminal Procedure, as amended in 1997, was still in force.
It states:In the course of carrying out the death penalty, if the convict wants to report and expose the facts of a major case, and if there is a real case or a major meritorious service, the execution of the death penalty may be suspended, and the punishment may even be commuted in the future.
The stakes are very high, and after Lin Jing and the others consulted the Supreme Court, they decided to suspend Zhang Deyue's execution and first investigate the case that Zhang Deyue said before dealing with it.
According to Zhang Deyue's confession,In the fall of 2006, a female cotton picker named Yang Yan was killed by a man named Ajie and buried in a cotton field in the 10th Company of the 89th Regiment of the Fifth Division of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps.
After receiving the report of the case, the Public Security Bureau of the Fifth Division of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps immediately organized a criminal investigation team to rush to the scene of the burial of the body mentioned by Zhang Deyue.
It was the height of summer, and the surface of Xinjiang had reached a high temperature of 50 degrees, but in order to bring the grievances of the deceased to light, the police officers endured the scorching heat, carrying pickaxes and shovels to sweat on the Gobi Desert.
According to Zhang Deyue, the depth of burying the body is about 12 meters or so, and when the police dug to 1When there was nothing at 4 meters, I began to wonder if what Zhang Deyue said was the truth.
The excavation work was carried out until 9 p.m., and the female body confessed by Zhang Deyue was still missing. So after deliberation with the public prosecutors at the scene, it was decided to dig up another spade, and if not, ask the Supreme People's Court to take Zhang Deyue back to the execution ground for execution.
Zhang Deyue pointed out that the burial site may be Zhang Deyue's life, and after digging up a spade, the police really found something different. The black dirt emitted a foul smell of corruption, and Li Hua, the leader of the criminal investigation team, jumped into the pit and peeled it off little by little with a small shovel. 、
After a while, a white ossified corpse appeared in front of everyone's eyes. After forensic examination, the deceased had a fracture of the hyoid bone, which was caused by external force and died of asphyxiation.
Next to the body, the police found an ID card, and the owner was none other than Yang Yan. But an ID card alone doesn't mean much, and more scientific means are needed to prove the identity of the deceased. In order to identify the deceased as soon as possible, the police drove to Yang Yan's hometown, Lucaogou Township, Huocheng County, Yili.
The arrival of the police caught Yang Yan's mother Li Hongxia off guard. According to her,Daughter Yang Yan went out to work in September 2006, and there has been no news for two years, and her family has searched for nothing in vain. She also washes her face with tears every day, and can only rely on watching her daughter's ** to relieve the pain of lovesickness.
The time of Yang Yan's disappearance that the young and beautiful Yang Yan Li Hongxia said coincided with the time of the death of the skeleton. Watching the handsome Yang Yan turn into a dry bone, the life of a flower will always stay at the age of 24, and everyone feels sorry for it. But what is more important is to find out who killed Yang Yan and catch the real murderer, so as to comfort the undead who died.
At that time, Xinjiang did not have the conditions to do DNA comparison on the ossified corpse, and the police handling the case took Li Hongxia's blood sample and prepared to send the biological samples to Beijing, more than 4,000 kilometers away. Criminal policeman Li Peng took the victim's bones and put him on a hard sleeper heading to Beijing. The bones are an important piece of material evidence for extracting DNA, and in order to be foolproof, Li Peng put the bones under his pillow and never left an inch.
At the same time that Li Peng rushed to Beijing to determine the source of the body, another team of people also began the interrogation of Zhang Deyue. Zhang Deyue said: Yang Yan was a cotton picker hired by Zhang Deyue's brother Zhang Denian, and had a good relationship with a Mongolian young man named Ajie at that time, and the two also fell in love. Once Applejack came to him and said that he had killed Yang Yan by mistake, and asked Zhang Deyue to go with him to bury the body. Zhang Deyue was forced to be helpless and participated in the burial of Yang Yan's body.
At this time, good news came from Beijing, after DNA comparison, the corpse was Yang Yan. The police who handled the case felt a sense of relief and determined the source of the body, as long as Ajie was found, everything would fall into place.
Applejack, however, this seemingly simple case has made waves again. The police officer in charge of investigating Applejack brings an unexpected news:Applejack was killed in the woods on April 28, 2007 for drunk driving.
Applejack's death has brought the case to an impasse, but is the truth really what Zhang Deyue said? The officers scrutinized Ms. Zhang's confession and found it full of suspicions.
According to Zhang Deyue, they first buried Yang Yan in a sand and stone field, found that the ground was too hard to excavate, and buried the body in a channel next to a cotton field. After the police investigation, the geology of the two places is similar, both are hard Gobi, why should the two of them spend the same effort digging a new pit and burying the body in it.
Through the later visits, ** learned that Yang Yan and Ajie only knew each other, but they were not familiar with each other, and it was impossible for them to fall in love. Then Applejack's motive for killing Yang Yan is not established, and Zhang Deyue is lying.
And from Yang Yan's mother, Li Hongxia, ** got an amazing news:Yang Yan did fall in love with someone, it was Zhang Deyue's brother, Zhang Denian.
In 2000, 18-year-old Yang Yan followed her mother to Zhang Denian's cotton field to pick up cotton. After this relationship ended, Yang Yan obeyed her parents' wishes in 2003 and married a local villager. Zhang Denian also married a wife and had children, and never interacted with each other again.
Judging from the letters exchanged between Yang Yan and Zhang Denian, the two are still very sweet when they are in love. Perhaps because of this unforgettable love, Yang Yan's marriage was not happy, and she divorced her husband after barely two years.
24-year-old Yang Yan was determined to find her true love, but she was afraid that her mother would stop her, so she only said that she would go to work in other places and come back in a few days. Who knew that that farewell was the last face in this life.
Zhang Denian's suspicion increased sharply, not only because he concealed his relationship with Yang Yan, but also because the place where Yang Yan was buried was in Zhang Denian's cotton field. At the beginning, when ** asked Zhang Denian about Yang Yan, Zhang Denian replied: Yang Yan is just a hired worker and is not familiar with it.
* Zhang Denian was summoned again, and with the corroboration of the letter, Zhang Denian had no choice but to admit that he did have a relationship with Yang Yan. At that time, after Yang Yan divorced, she said that she wanted to come to her house to work, but Zhang Denian was already married and had children, and her feelings for Yang Yan had faded, so she refused Yang Yan's request to rebuild the old relationship.
And Yang Yan also seemed to be dead-hearted, just working normally, and there was no superfluous communication. After the cotton picking period ended, he paid Yang Yan his salary, and he never contacted him again.
Although Zhang Denian is still very suspicious of committing a crime, because there is no conclusive evidence, he can only be released. At this time, Zhang Deyue in the interrogation room also seemed to feel something, and began to say nothing.
This brings greater doubts to the police, if Zhang Denian is **, then Zhang Deyue identified the dead Ajie as **, and why?
Moreover, Ajie died on April 28, and Zhang Deyue has been held in a detention center awaiting trial since the murder, and there is a strict detention system in the detention center, and it is impossible for someone from outside to provide information to Zhang Deyue.
The investigation of the case has reached a dead end, and perhaps only from Zhang Deyue's mouth can we get clues. And Zhang Deyue is thoughtful, and it is difficult to pry his mouth open. So, the superiors assigned Zhang Yi, the deputy head of the criminal investigation team, to do Zhang Deyue's interrogation work.
At that time, Zhang Yi was still hospitalized**, and he injured his neck and waist during an arrest, causing an old illness for many years. However, as soon as he heard that there was a ** that needed to be investigated, Zhang Yi didn't say a word, and quickly discharged from the hospital to understand the situation.
Zhang Yi is proficient in criminal psychology and is good at capturing the psychological state of criminal suspects, and is a good hand at interrogation. Through a preliminary understanding of Zhang Deyue, Zhang Yi understands that Zhang Deyue, a frenzied murderer, must have an unusual criminal trajectory, as long as he can start from his criminal psychology, he can break his defense line in one fell swoop and ask for valuable information.
Zhang Yi's police officer, Zhang Yi, locked himself in the archives and carefully looked through the files of the two cases committed by Zhang Deyue:Fraud in October 2005 and kidnapping, murder and mutilation in March 2007.
Zhang Yi gradually noticed that something was unusualThe two cases were only more than a year apart, and Zhang Deyue turned from a fraudster to a demon who killed people and broke corpses, which was a bit too sudden and did not conform to the law of criminal psychological development. There seems to be a missing story in the middle, which strengthens Zhang Deyue's criminal mentality.
Looking back at the murder case of Yang Yan, the means are not as good as the later murder and corpse mutilation case**, but it is worse than the previous fraud case, and the time of Yang Yan's death is exactly between these two cases. The answer is about to come out, and Zhang Deyue has become a key suspect.
So how did Zhang Deyue know that Applejack had passed away and wanted to escape the law with a dead man? The detention center's detention system is extremely strict, and there is almost no possibility of passing information to the outside world. In order to answer this question, Zhang Yi came to the detention center, stood on the high wall, and silently watched Zhang Deyue who was letting go of the wind.
Suddenly, two prisoners who were talking caught Zhang Yi's attention. Zhang Yi had a flash of inspiration and suddenly asked the police in the detention centerIs there a prisoner Zhang Deyue is familiar with who came in after Applejack's death?
The police suddenly realized that this was indeed a breakthrough. By looking through the list of detainees, a thief named Korgit came into Zhang Yi's sight.
According to Colgit, he is an old acquaintance with Applejack and Zhang Deyue, and chatted with Zhang Deyue during the release, and inadvertently told the news of Applejack's death.
Keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon, the clues provided by Colgit made the case-handling staff very excited. On September 3, 2008, Zhang Yi made all preparations and arraigned Zhang Deyue. Zhang Deyue was taken into the interrogation room by the police, and looked at Zhang Yi, and the two sides were trying to test each other. In order to make Zhang Deyue's defense less serious, Zhang Yi asked him to repeat his previous confession.
In the seemingly relaxed question and answer, Zhang Yi quietly waited for the moment when Zhang Deyue relaxed. At this time, Zhang Yi began to ask about the details of the corpse, and Zhang Deyue's confession began to be inconsistent, which showed that Zhang Deyue's thinking had been confused.
Zhang Yi:"Why did you say Applejack killed him? ”
Zhang Deyue didn't seem to react, and blurted out:Applejack is dead. ”
Zhang Yi:"Because you know Applejack is dead. ”
Zhang Deyue's eyes were flustered, and Zhang Yi caught the moment when Zhang Deyue's psychology was weak and gave him a fatal blow: ".It's Colgit who tells you that Applejack is dead. ”
In the face of Colgit's explanation, Zhang Deyue's psychological defense was completely defeated, and he began to shake his body and take deep breaths to try to calm himself down. Zhang Yi knew that they won, and it wouldn't be long before Zhang Deyue would explain the real case.
After a short standoff, at the third interrogation, Zhang Deyue pleaded guilty and confessed the whole process of killing Yang Yan.
In late November 2006, when the cotton picking period had passed, Yang Yan received 1,500 yuan in wages from Zhang Denian. Seeing that Zhang Denian has no feelings for herself, Yang Yan also plans to stop entanglement, leave here, and start her new life again.
At this time, Zhang Denian's younger brother Zhang Deyue appeared in front of her on a bicycle and said that he would take her to the station, because he was an acquaintance, Yang Yan did not suspect it.
When passing by Zhang Denian's cotton field, Zhang Deyue suddenly went to rob Yang Yan of the bag containing the salary, Yang Yan didn't give it, so they fought with each other, and in the dispute, Zhang Deyue killed Yang Yan and buried her in the cotton field.
Four months later, Zhang Deyue killed Shi Xinjin and committed the felony of kidnapping and murder. While in custody, Corgit learns of Applejack's death, and he understands that it is possible to be exempted from the death penalty if the condemned prisoner can provide clues about the important facts of the case. So he carefully fabricated lies in the prison cell, blamed Ajie for Yang Yan's death, and reported it himself in exchange for a chance to live.
The legal net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky. Zhang Deyue's conspiracy did not deceive the eyes of the Xinjiang police, and in the layers of **, the truth was revealed in front of the world, and he did not escape the punishment of the law in the end.
Human life is only once, and protecting citizens' right to life is the primary task of our law. In this case, Xinjiang**, with respect for the deceased, brought ** to justice again.
They walk the line between good and evil, fighting with the most vicious criminals, and may even pay with their lives. Let us pay tribute to these heroes who silently guarded people in times of peace, and may they be useless in their lives!
