He went to shine his shoes, unaware that death was approaching him.
A height 1The flat-headed man, who was about 8 meters tall, walked to a stall on the side of the road to polish his shoes, he sat down calmly, stretched out one foot, and put it on the shoeshine pedal, intending to let the stall owner shine his shoes, completely unaware that danger was coming.
At this moment, a man in black with a sharp knife in his hand rushed across the road like the wind, and rushed to him in a few seconds.
The man in black gently flicked the flat-headed man's head with his left hand, and stabbed the sharp knife into his neck with his right hand.
After that, the man in black quickly disappeared into the vast sea of people, coming like lightning, as fast as the wind, less than ten seconds before and after, without giving the flat-headed man a chance to say a word.
The flat-headed man pulled his feet away from the pedal, Huo Di stood up suddenly, holding his chin with both hands, the knife had already penetrated his neck, the tip of the knife on the right, and the handle of the knife on the left, the blade was very dazzling in the sun. The man didn't open his mouth to say anything, but soon he was unsteady on his feet and fell down, and his huge body fell heavily to the ground, and blood flowed all over the ground in an instant.
The flat-headed man struggled twice, then stopped moving, tilted his head, and lay straight on the ground.
"Murder, murder! The surrounding citizens screamed.
Yang Qingyu, a shoeshine woman, recognized that the dead flat-headed man was a local policeman who often appeared in the area, a familiar face in a county town with a population of less than 100,000.
The death of the policeman caused a sensation throughout the county, and the citizens talked about it.
The details of the murder soon began to circulate.
There are different versions of the identity of the assassin, some say it is a butcher, some say it is an underworld mission.
The identity of the deceased is also different, some say it is the director, some say it is the deputy director.
In fact, less than two hours after the incident, the murder case was announced to be solved, and the suspect was villager Wu Xihua, who surrendered to ** soon after returning home.
After receiving **, the police car was immediately dispatched to detain the suspect.
A week later, Wu Xihua was arrested by the Enshi Prefecture Procuratorate on suspicion of intentional homicide.
When the news came, people, especially the suspect's fellow villagers, were even more shocked.
Because in their eyes, Wu Xihua is an "honest and honest" person, with an easy-going personality, a little shy, and doesn't like to talk.
In decades, there has been no quarrel with the neighbors.
In the detention center, in the face of police questioning, Wu Xihua began to explain the reason for the killing.
With his confession, the reason for the murder is revealed.
Wu Xihua, 44, lived in Baota Village, a small village with a population of less than 1,000 and no school in a hill on the outskirts of the city.
Therefore, despite the high tuition fees, Wu Xihua's two boys (the eldest is 10 years old and the younger is 4 years old) are both attending primary schools and kindergartens in the county.
Because of those days, Wu Xihua's wife took care of his paralyzed father at his mother's house, and he drove a tricycle to pick up and drop off his children to school every day.
The weather was not good, the light rain did not stop for several days, and the road was wet and slippery.
Therefore, the pedestrians on the road are in a hurry and have no intention of stopping, and Wu Xihua is the same, just wanting to go home early and cook a steaming pot of rice for the children.
Because of this, he didn't pay attention to the road conditions and had an accident.
The person who was hit was a woman in her early thirties, named Zhou Yuping, who was also a local.
She had just come out of the funeral home to mourn her father-in-law, but she didn't expect to be hit as soon as she got on the road.
However, because it was uphill at that time, Wu Xihua's speed was not fast, less than 20 miles; Plus the other party is young, and it doesn't matter much.
Therefore, Zhou Yuping stood up immediately after falling to the ground and was not injured.
Seeing that he had knocked someone down, Wu Xihua, an honest and honest farmer, was scared into a cold sweat, he hurriedly got out of the car and turned back to Zhou Yuping, and muttered: "No, no, I'm sorry, is there any injury?" ”
At the beginning, Zhou Yuping was furious: "Riding a bicycle without looking at the road, no long eyes? “
But when I looked up, the other party was a middle-aged farmer, and his attitude was sincere, and he couldn't help but apologize; And except for the muddy water on her clothes, there was nothing uncomfortable anywhere else, so she didn't have any more seizures.
Besides, Zhou Yuping had a white affair at home, and it was still raining, so she didn't want to be entangled here, so she waved her hand and said, "You go, it's okay." ”
Slow down, don't go! ”
He looked back and saw that it was a burly young policeman with a flat head.
This person's name is Du Ping, and he and Zhou Yuping are sons and daughters, and they also came to participate in the condolence activities.
However, he went out a little late, and only saw the scene of hitting people from a distance.
Du Ping is a police officer at the Xuan'en County Public Security Bureau, and although it is not working time, he is used to wearing police uniforms.
Maybe it was to show his ability in front of his in-laws, or maybe it was to show favor to his in-laws, he and his friend Wang Luojun walked forward quickly, blocked Wu Xihua's way, and scolded loudly.
Wu Xihua was just about to explain, but the other party was already impatient and beat him up.
On one side is a farmer in his forties, and two children are still crying and shouting "Dad" in the car; On one side are two young men, especially Du Ping is still a well-trained policeman, and his strength is completely crushed, and there is no suspense.
Under the dimensionality reduction blow of the two, Wu Xihua didn't even have the ability to parry, let alone fight back.
In a matter of seconds, Wu Xihua fell to the ground covered with muddy water, looking at each other with frightened eyes.
It is said that things have developed to this point, Du Ping's goal has been achieved, and he is angry with his in-law Zhou Yuping.
But Du Ping was still unsatisfied and made an amazing move.
Internet**. I saw him take a step forward, stretched out his right foot and stepped on Wu Xihua's face, and then rubbed it back and forth with his Sanjia scalp shoes.
At this time, Wu Xihua changed his previous humility and began to scold and shout angrily.
The scolding alarmed the traffic police on duty nearby and Wu Yunbiao, the head of Zhenbaota Village, who was passing by, and they would soon separate the three.
Internet**. Wu Xihua was knocked to the ground in front of his two sons, and a foot was stepped on his face, he felt that this was not a simple fight, it was a violation of dignity, and a great shame for men.
Because on the way, the eldest son asked, "Dad, Dad, why do you have to endure and not fight with them?" ”
Wu Xihua was speechless to his son's question.
That night, he tossed and turned, and the scene of being stepped on repeatedly.
No, I'm going to have to ask for an explanation.
The next day, Wu Xihua came to the police station and demanded that the beaters be severely punished; He also said that his ribs hurt and asked for an injury examination to see a doctor.
The police said, "You are fighting each other, and you have also hit someone, and you will each see your injuries and take your own money."
Walking out of the police station, Wu Xihua was completely desperate.
The police's prevarication, coupled with Du Ping's identity, made Wu Xihua more and more unable to think about it, and he felt that the police station was deliberately sheltering the other party.
This made Wu Xihua even more depressed, and the anger in his heart burned.
He has been a farmer for half his life, and he has never fought or quarreled with his neighbors, or even blushed with anyone.
The conditions in the countryside were already poor, and his family was even poorer, so poor that he could not marry a daughter-in-law, so he became a bachelor and did not marry until he was in his thirties.
Fortunately, his wife is very good at living, and she has no complaints about the poor life, although the days are dull but full of warmth.
Especially when they gave birth to two sons one after another, and the Wu family had descendants, which ignited hope for the couple, they were full of enthusiasm no matter how hard they worked.
Unexpectedly, on this bleak afternoon, he suffered bad luck.
Perhaps in the eyes of many, this is nothing more than an occasional conflict on the street, and it will pass after putting up with it.
Han Xin is so great, but he has also suffered the humiliation of his crotch, let alone a farmer?
Time can make people forget everything, and there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome.
No, there is no such thing as absolute fairness anywhere.
However, honest people are the easiest to drill the horns, Wu Xihua can't figure it out, can't think of it.
He has maintained his dignity for nearly half of his life, but he was easily trampled on by Du Ping, ruthlessly trampled under his feet, and in front of his two sons, how could he let go?
At about 9 o'clock on November 9th, which was also the morning of the third day after Du Ping and the others beat people, Wu Xihua, who was dressed in black, passed by the county seat again and happened to meet Du Ping next to the car, the world is too small.
Wu Xihua said that the moment he saw Du Ping, the scene in the rain immediately appeared in front of him, and he decided to take revenge.
Wu Xihua turned his head and went into a grocery store across the road and bought a sharp fruit knife, he wanted to completely end the grievances between the two.
After buying the murder weapon, Wu Xihua almost did not hesitate, and then strode out of the store.
At this time, Du Ping walked to a shoeshine stand on the side of the road, intending to sit down and shine his shoes.
Seeing this, Wu Xihua clenched the knife in his hand and rushed towards Du Ping, like a whirlwind.
In an instant, Wu Xihua slashed Du Ping, so neatly that even the owner of the shoeshine stall didn't see the process clearly.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Xihua left like a hurricane and disappeared without a trace.
By the time Du Ping reacted, his neck had been pierced by a fruit knife, and blood was gushing out like a fountain.
Du Ping looked at Wu Xihua with confused eyes, maybe he had already forgotten the day before yesterday.
He instinctively wanted to raise his hand to cover the wound on his neck, but unfortunately he didn't even have the strength to raise his hand.
A few seconds later, Du Ping fell to the ground with a bang, his tall body slammed into the shoe mending machine.
After the killing, Wu Xihua came to the hillside behind the village, where there was the grave of his parents.
He knelt in front of the grave, knocked his head four times, then took out his mobile phone and called the police**.
*, Wu Xihua's tone was surprisingly calm: "I killed someone." ”
"I kill him, I die; The day before yesterday, I was beaten by him and no one cared about him, and now that I killed him, no one should care. ”
* The police here were stunned, they couldn't believe their ears, they didn't expect that the seemingly honest peasant who came to the police station to report the case three days ago would actually do such a cruel thing as a white knife and a red knife.
In any case, the police still drove to the hillside and took Wu Xihua, who was sitting there smoking, away.
On February 18, 2013, the state procuratorate charged Wu Xihua with intentional homicide and filed a public prosecution with the Enshi Prefecture Intermediate People's Court.
In court, Wu Xihua's defender said that the murder was a fact and should be punished, but the victim in this case was also seriously at fault.
As a people's policeman, Du Ping should maintain order and report to the police when a collision accident occurs.
However, instead of doing that, he and his friends fought against the parties, and in the case of absolute superiority, in public.
Stepping on the face of the party further intensified the conflict, and his misconduct had a certain correlation with the defendant's criminal conduct.
In addition, after the beating occurred, the local public security organs did not deal with it in a timely manner, which was also an incentive for the parties to commit crimes.
In court, the villager representative of Baota Village also submitted a petition to the judge with the names of 314 village leaders.
It said that Wu Xihua had always been a law-abiding citizen before, and this murder violated the criminal law and should be punished, but there was a reason for the incident, and I hope the court will be lenient.
The court of first instance finally found that Wu Xihua was convicted of homicide, and that the circumstances of the crime were heinous, the consequences were particularly serious, and the harm to society was extremely great.
He should have been severely punished, but in view of the circumstances of the defendant's voluntary surrender, he was given a lenient death sentence with a two-year reprieve.
Internet**. From a professional point of view, there is no problem with the court's decision.
If Wu Xihua was at the scene and killed someone when he was injured, there would be extenuating circumstances, and it would not be impossible to be sentenced to excessive defense.
However, when Wu Xihua killed someone, a few days had passed, and it was obvious that the two events were not very related, and could not be determined to be excessive defense.
Although the dust has settled on this case, it leaves us with too much to think about.
It was supposed to be a very minor traffic accident, but it turned into a bloody case, which is heartbreaking.
The policeman Du Ping was young and promising and had a bright future, but he died because of this and embarked on the road of no return.
As a father of two minor children, Wu Xihua has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders, but because of his impulsiveness, he violated the law of the country, was imprisoned, and had to spend the rest of his life in a high wall.
Even if he could get a commutation, he was released from prison with gray temples.
A bloody case shattered two warm homes in an instant.
If Wu Xihua is allowed to choose again, will he still take risks? It's hard to say.
However, if Du Ping is reborn, I believe he will definitely choose to deal with this matter calmly.
There is a sentence in "Warring States Policy", I don't know if you remember it: If the soldier will be angry, the corpse will be two, the bleeding will be five steps, and the world will be vegetarian.
The wrath of the puffer, bleeding five steps.
As we say in the old folk, rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, and honest people must not force them.
