"There was a murder in the east part of the city. The government has posted a notice. The murdered person is related to us!"
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly, are you trying to drive me crazy?"
"The man who was killed was our chef Ning's younger brother, the one who used to be a soldier. You forgot his name, Bai..."
"Ning Zhibai! As I recall, wasn't he stabbed to death while saving someone?"
"I don't know. I just heard someone from the east side of the city say..."
"Hey! The public security comrades are here, everyone, please make way, please make way."
A few bicycle bells rang, and the aunts who had gathered together for an enthusiastic discussion dispersed.
"Comrade Public Security, are you here to see me?" Ning Xi saw them walking towards her uncle's house and suspected that they were here to see her.
Qian Aidang poked his head out from among the police officers and said, "Yes, we're looking for you. Come with us to the police station. Your uncle and aunt have already gone there and have some matters to attend to."
What was supposed to come finally came, and Ning Xi's slightly anxious mood suddenly relaxed.
Soon the group arrived at the Public Security Bureau, where Ning Zhibai and Liu Chunmei were both inside.
"I called you here today mainly to tell you the outcome of the case." The man called Director Shao sat at the top.
Ning Xi had asked about this before, and was told to keep it confidential until the results came out.
Director Shao made a startling statement: "According to the confession of the parties involved, Comrade Ning Zhibai was indeed murdered!
After the divorce, the criminal Lin Yongjun lost his source of income, so he lied that he had evidence to prove that He Hongjuan had cheated on him during the marriage and asked He Hongjuan to divorce him and raise their two children together.
He Hongjuan secretly found out that Lin Zhendong's household registration had been moved to Ruan Liping's home, and guessed that the so-called evidence was actually in Ruan Liping's hands, so she rejected Lin Yongjun's proposal.
At that time, Lin Zhendong and Lin Xiaoyue were only five years old, and there was no one to help take care of them. The children of several sisters were at the age of eating their father out of money, so there was no way they could continue to help him.
One day, while drinking outside, Lin Yongjun accidentally met a man with an incurable disease. He came up with an idea and staged a robbery on the road that Ning Zhibai had to pass by after get off work.
The man with an incurable disease was shot to death for robbery and murder.
As for the other party, the one who was robbed, he originally agreed to help for money. After witnessing Ning Zhibai's tragic death and watching the murderer being shot, he felt guilty and was frightened to the point of falling ill.
Later, he went directly to live with his relatives in the countryside, spent money to use his connections to move his household registration to the countryside, and never returned to Mingjiang City.
"It's because of looking for this person that the case has been delayed for a while." Director Shao looked apologetic.
Liu Chunmei covered her face and sobbed softly: "Oh, our poor second son, at such a young age, went to the battlefield and was injured, but he survived, but lost his life in a peaceful city..."
She got married early, at the age of 16, to Ning Zhisong. At that time, Ning Zhibai was only ten years old, still a half-grown child. The old lady was not in good health, and she had been taking care of the family. The uncle and sister-in-law had a deep relationship.
The taciturn Ning Zhisong also had tears in his eyes.
Director Shao waited until the others calmed down a bit before continuing, "As for Comrade Ning Xi, your identity was a bit questionable at first."
"According to He Hongjuan's mother, after He Hongjuan gave birth, the baby was taken away by Lin's mother. She originally wanted to go to the hospital to steal a baby back, but coincidentally, someone gave her a baby on the way, so she took it home directly.
Later, the police went door to door to search for her. She was afraid that she would be found and put in jail, so she took He Hongjuan to her relatives' home in the countryside.
He Hongjuan had just given birth to twins and her body was damaged. She hadn't even finished her confinement and had been traveling in the middle of winter, which left her with a chronic illness and made her unable to have children.
Ning Xi listened quietly and understood. No wonder He Hongjuan hated the original owner so much and tortured her every day.
It's ridiculous! Aren't she, her mother and Lin Yongjun the real culprits?
From an outsider's perspective, the original owner's character might seem a little cowardly, but from her point of view, He Hongjuan is her biological mother, and her resistance would be unfilial.
Secondly, He Hongjuan's anger will be transferred to Uncle Ning's family, and she will hurt her relatives who are good to her.
In such a deformed family, it is understandable that her personality gradually became depressed. Ning Xi sympathized with her and thanked her for giving up her body to give her a chance to be reborn.
Based on this reason alone, Ning Xi also wants to take revenge on He Hongjuan and his wife to vent her anger on the original owner.
Ning Xi: "Since a patrol is looking for me, does that mean my identity is clear now?"
But the ending was disappointing.
Director Shao shook his head. "A lot of information was lost at the time, and we can't find any relevant records. We interviewed the staff at the time, but most of them couldn't remember anything."
He lowered his voice and said, "We were looking for spies, not children. They were guilty and misheard."
It seems that the original owner was most likely an abandoned baby from a family that favors boys over girls. But it’s better this way, as it saves her from having to get along with strangers.
Ning Xi breathed a sigh of relief: "Leader, how will they judge this?"
This is what she is concerned about now. Don't even think about spending twenty years in prison. If she does that, won't she still have to worry about revenge against her if he gets out?
Director Shao glanced at Ning Zhisong, who looked dejected, and said with a stiff upper lip:
"According to He Hongjuan herself, she had an argument with your mother and pushed her when she wasn't paying attention. The old lady bled, and she was frightened. She locked the door from the inside and climbed out over the courtyard wall."
......As for how these truths came to be revealed, it is not convenient to describe the process.
It is true that one should marry a virtuous wife. He married a bad one and ruined the lives of two people in the family.
But she didn't take the initiative to get married, she was set up, and we have to blame the instigator with bad intentions.
"Bang!"
Ning Zhisong's eyes widened and he fell off the chair.
"Someone come quickly, quickly!" Director Shao reacted quickly, immediately checked his head to see if there were any injuries, and pinched his philtrum hard.
Fortunately, it was nothing serious. Ning Zhisong woke up soon. The 1.9-meter-tall man was unable to utter a word. Tears welled up in his eyes and he sobbed uncontrollably.
"Damn it! They deserve to die!" Ning Zhisong gritted his teeth, wishing he could drink their blood and eat their flesh, and skin and pull out the tendons of Lin Yongjun and the other two!
Director Shao understood his frustration and quickly explained the verdict:
"As mentioned above, this case is extremely serious. Murdering a soldier who has shed blood on the battlefield is a heinous crime that is unforgivable. He should be executed as a warning to others.
Lin Yongjun was convicted of anti-government murder of soldiers and civilians, anti-government insults to soldiers, and anti-government abuse of women and children. He was sentenced to death and executed by firing squad at Caishikou three days later.
He Hongjuan was convicted of crimes of insulting soldiers, murder, and abusing women and children. She was sentenced to death and shot at Caishikou three days later.
