"My brother has been very honest since he was young. He would not dare to fight back when others hit him. He would always ask me for help when he killed chickens. How could such an honest man dare to kill people if he didn't even dare to kill chickens? And two little kids? Those two kids are somewhat related to our family. They both have the surname Liu..."
"My brother was wrongly accused. When something like this happened in the village, everyone was terrified and thought everyone was the murderer. So when my brother was suspected, everyone said it was him. It was him. With the case settled, everyone could breathe a sigh of relief and live a normal life..."
Liu Yuming felt extremely aggrieved at this time. If a homicide case happened in the countryside, everyone would definitely worry about living with the murderer, but if the person was caught and put in prison, they would not worry anymore.
So he desperately hoped that the murderer would be caught, and his brother was just the honest unlucky guy.
He was arrested under such circumstances, because there was no one among the villagers who was more honest and submissive than him.
At the beginning, he was honest, his family's cornfield was closest to the reservoir, and his family had a quarrel with someone. The red rope that appeared by the water belonged to his younger brother's family, but is there such a possibility?
When the younger brother was packing corn, he accidentally lost some ropes and sacks without even knowing it, and the murderer picked them up and killed him.
This is very normal in rural areas.
Besides, everyone has that kind of sack rope. Maybe other people also have that kind of red rope.
"If my brother hadn't been so honest, maybe it wouldn't be him. In fact, there were a lot of people who were suspected at the beginning, and there were several people like my brother. But in the end he was honest, so it was him, because everyone wanted to close the case quickly and put the murderer in jail, so that everyone in the village would be safe. My brother has a miserable life, and people who are honest and flattering are pitiful..."
Liu Yuming kept wiping away tears, and he also told Lawyer Zhang that he had been looking for ** to redress the grievances for his brother over the years.
Anyway, he is old and won't live long, so he has nothing to worry about. It's just that the matter of his brother makes him feel particularly wronged. His brother didn't kill the person. He is so honest that he doesn't even dare to kill a chicken, so how dare he kill someone?
No one saw him kill anyone, and there was no blood in the cornfield at the time, so no one knew where the two children died.
Liu Yuming kept talking and begging Lawyer Zhang, asking them, as educated people, to find a way to save his brother, as his brother was really too pitiful.
Honest man, he can't even fart when the stone roller rolls over him. He is forced to do this.
If there had been someone more honest than my brother back then, perhaps the person who was imprisoned would not have been my brother.
Liu Yuming's words and the scene were also recorded.
Lawyer Zhang did not give up. He went to the reservoir and cornfield where the accident happened to take pictures. It was already one or two o'clock in the afternoon and it was extremely hot. They were sitting in the car, and even with the air conditioner on, they could still feel the unbearable heat outside.
Lawyer Zhang, who was preparing to return to the village to find out more about the situation, saw an old lady on the side of the road. She was carrying a large bag of corn on her back, holding a cane in one hand, and walking slowly towards the village.
The old man was very old and very thin. It seemed that a gust of wind would blow him down.
Lawyer Zhang quickly got out of the car and helped the old lady put the corn into the car. Thinking that this man was older and probably knew something about what happened that year, he invited him to get in the car.
The old lady refused to agree, but when Lawyer Zhang mentioned Liu Yuyuan, she kept wiping away her tears.
"My son, he was innocent, he didn't kill anyone..."
Lawyer Zhang was stunned. This old woman turned out to be Liu Yuyuan’s elderly mother. She looked to be in her eighties or nineties.
At such an old age, he is still doing farm work. In such hot weather, if he falls down from heatstroke, death is likely to happen in minutes. This is something that Lawyer Zhang cannot even imagine.
He and his men stood on the side of the road, slowly walking back with the old lady. Seeing her taking three steps to rest and wiping her eyes from time to time, Lawyer Zhang sighed.
This old man is so pitiful. He is so old, but still carrying corn.
It's unimaginable.
Finally, it was Lawyer Zhang who persuaded the old lady into sitting in the car, saying that he was helping her family to rescue Liu Yuyuan. On the way, the old lady kept saying the same thing over and over again.
"My son didn't kill anyone. He was wrongly accused. My son didn't kill anyone. He was wrongly accused..."
At Liu Yuyuan's house, he couldn't find out anything else, so Lawyer Zhang went to the village chief's house because they were driving a luxury car that looked very good to the country people.
There were also lawyer's certificates, etc. When the village chiefs saw them, they were unusually polite to them.
He was very respectful when serving tea and water.
When it comes to Liu Yuyuan's matter, the village chief, who is not too old, is a little hesitant.
"When this happened, I was only a teenager. I wasn't very sensible, but I knew a little bit. Many people in the village called his family murderers. The village also took into consideration that his family was in financial difficulty and provided some assistance to them, such as sending some rice, flour, oil, etc. at the end of each year as part of the poverty alleviation work. As for this case, to be honest, I don't know anything either..."
The village chief was still very cautious and refused to say anything more.
If you're really in a hurry, just ask.
"It's not just his family that's suffering in the village. That family has lost two children and their family is almost broken up. Killing someone means paying with one's life. This is a good national policy. They didn't kill the person directly but just put him in jail. What else do you want?"
"People say that Liu Yuyuan has been crying out for injustice for decades. His wife and brother have been running around to appeal for him, saying that he was wronged! What do you think?"
The village chief shook his head when Lawyer Zhang said this.
"Oh, I don't know about that either. Anyway, their child died tragically. That's the fact. Comrade, let's not talk about that. If you really want to know, go and see the family whose child died that year. They're also living a miserable life. Damn it, whose life is easy?"
After saying this, the village chief refused to say anything else and just asked them to go and take a look at another family in the village.
If a family lost two children back then, you can imagine how painful it would be.
Killing someone means paying with your life. The dead child was also innocent!
When Lawyer Zhang went to that house, he saw weeds growing inside the courtyard wall, and the house was dilapidated and in danger of falling down. It seemed that the family was living a miserable life.
The two busy people had hunched backs early on, and they looked like walking corpses. It was heartbreaking to look at them.
But when Lawyer Zhang explained his purpose, the family suddenly became emotional and said something unexpected.
