I heard that the rat medicine of that era was very poisonous and could kill even cows. It was not like in later times where even rats could not be killed.
It was only later that it was discovered that too many people were taking rat medicine that its toxicity was reduced.
The rat medicine of the future will basically poison people but not kill them.
"What should we do now?"
"She has no tricks. She insists that it was Old Zhou who fell into the pond and died. They are sorting out the evidence. Human and physical evidence. Human witnesses are people from the village. It is estimated that no one saw her committing the crime, but they testified that Old Zhou beat someone and the victim could not bear the pain and committed the crime. So they have a motive. As for the physical evidence, it is probably rat poison."
There are only a few places in the city that sell rat poison. If you visit them, you will probably find out that Sun Lan did buy the medicine.
After hearing this, Ye Xiaozhen felt that Sun Lan could not escape and it was only a matter of time before she was convicted.
"Then...will there be a death penalty?"
Xie Linan shook his head. "I don't know, but I heard from people in the village that she was beaten every day. Maybe this will be considered in reducing her sentence."
"She was sold to old man Zhou, and he even illegally detained her. Can these be used as conditions for reducing her sentence?"
"Yes, her situation is special. I don't think she will be sentenced to death. She will most likely be sentenced to suspended death sentence or life imprisonment."
This is really... If a man beats a woman to death, it won't be so serious. I saw a news report not long ago about a man in Beijing who beat his wife to death after a long period of time. He was sentenced to ten years in prison, and many people fought for it. What do people call this? It's accidental killing, not intentional killing.
The sentencing difference is huge.
But if a wife kills her husband, it is usually premeditated murder and she will be sentenced severely. Life imprisonment is considered good, but the possibility of death penalty is high.
"She's almost sixty."
"Well, she's lucky. At her age, she won't have a hard time even if she goes in. If she were sentenced to life imprisonment, she would probably be released in ten days."
I don't want to support her in her old age.
Older prisoners not only have to be assigned work, but also have to be looked after by other prisoners and have their health checked regularly.
How can this be considered as going to jail? This is for retirement.
If you encounter unfilial children, it is better to live a good life in there.
…
After this happened, Xie Linan felt a little complicated.
He has been frowning these two days.
Ye Xiaozhen said: "Find her a good lawyer and try to get her a shorter sentence."
Xie Linan shook his head and said, "The best I can get is a life sentence."
"Is it that serious? She is also a victim."
Xie Linan gave a speechless smile.
"She still hasn't confessed to the crime. She insisted that Old Zhou drowned himself. People found the person who sold the rat poison and found chicken bones in the manure pit. The rat poison was boiled into the chicken bones, but she is still stubborn."
Ye Xiaozhen: “…”
"People who turn themselves in can only fight for a reduced sentence. With her attitude, oh, fighting for life imprisonment is already the best outcome."
Then Ye Xiaozhen didn't know what to say.
"Actually, I...Xiaozhen, if I had intervened earlier, would things have turned out this way?"
Ye Xiaozhen looked at him, "Why did you intervene so early?"
"Didn't Grandma Liu come over a few days ago and say that Old Zhou beat her? As a son, I should help her, right? How could Old Zhou dare to do that if I stepped in?"
"But... I hated her, especially when I heard that she was beaten by Old Man Zhou. Xiaozhen, do you know how she got along with my father?"
The little fool was a few years younger than him and didn't have many memories of those things.
But she remembered that Sun Qing was always jealous of Sun Lan. They were originally from the same village, had never gotten along since childhood, and later married into the same village. They always liked to compare each other and expose each other's past scandals.
Sun Qing felt uncomfortable when she saw that Sun Lan's man was having trouble.
People always say that Sun Lan is a piece of trash, lazy, greedy, and has a bad temper, but she got a good man.
She is jealous of others, always jealous of others, and speaks ill of others behind their backs.
So Xie Linan's father should be very good to Sun Lan.
"My father used to treat her very well. He was very much like my grandfather. He worked during the day and had to do housework when he came home at night. To make it easier for her, my father would wash clothes in the middle of the night so that she wouldn't have to do it during the day. She actually had a bad temper and always loved to curse. But no matter how she cursed, my father never got angry with her, let alone moved.
Being so good to her, but getting nothing in return. But that old man Zhou scolded her, beat her, and put her on a dog chain, and she was still so good to him. When I think of this, I feel sorry for my father. I heard that old man Zhou beat her again, and beat her in a strange way. In fact, I felt a sense of pleasure of revenge in my heart. So I won't stand up for her, I think she asked for it. But I didn't expect things to develop like this."
Ye Xiaozhen hugged him gently.
"But I can't blame you. You said it yourself. She asked for it. She didn't think about living a good life when she was young. After her father died, she chose to abandon you and leave. She chose to have an unclear relationship with a trafficker. She chose to stay with Old Man Zhou in Dongcheng and chose to kill Old Man Zhou... All the choices were her own."
Xie Linan remained silent.
Although Sun Lan always says that she has a hard life, Ye Xiaozhen actually thinks that Sun Lan has a good life, but she is really a bit of a spoiled child.
In that era, she was actually luckier than all the women in the village to meet a man like her father-in-law.
If she had lived a good life, things wouldn't have turned out like this.
Even after her father-in-law passed away, she did not immediately enter a dead end.
The traffickers all cheated her out of money, which means that she still had a lot of money after adding the compensation she received from previous years.
At that time, a few dollars was considered a lot of money, which was enough to support my sister Xie Linan's education.
When they grow up, they will help her take care of the two little ones. How can life not be easy?
Besides, grandpa is here to help.
It was her own decision to leave.
When the worst happened and she was sold by a trafficker, she was still luckier than other girls.
Others are sold into the mountains and you can’t escape even if you run.
Although the land she sold was from a poor village at the time, who said the policy was good?
After rapid development in recent years, they are finally waiting for demolition.
Moreover, she really gave birth to a son, who was recognized by the Zhou family and her family status was directly improved.
My ex-husband's four daughters also became babysitters to take care of them.
No one else has this kind of luck.
In the end, it was revealed that Zhou Yaozu was not from the Zhou family, but it wasn’t so bad that he needed to kill people, right?
Why do you refuse to get a divorce?
Who knows what's going on in her pig head?
So she really can't blame anyone else for coming to this point.
…
The next day, Xie Linan called and said that all the evidence pointed to her, but she still hadn't confessed, which gave him a headache.
