The child committed murder?
All the reporters present were stunned for a moment.
Then someone realized: "Ma'am, the child you're talking about, are you referring to Jiang Nian?"
The woman in the wheelchair slowly nodded.
Everyone was immediately jolted awake.
Holy crap, have they finally heard some big news?!
Reporters from various media outlets exchanged glances.
Immediately, some people turned on their recorders, some pointed their cameras at the woman, and some even started a live stream on the spot, all vying for the first wave of traffic and attention.
The title "[Live Stream Reveals the Truth Behind Jiang Nian's Murder]" immediately attracted countless netizens when posted in the live stream room.
Someone seized the opportunity to hand over the microphone: "Madam, what is the whole story and the truth behind Jiang Nian's murder that you mentioned?"
A woman's hoarse voice rang out.
"I don't know if you remember, but six years ago, there was a case in Chinatown, Z City, M Country."
“A man in his forties from the United States raped and murdered an eight-year-old Chinese girl.”
Upon hearing this, everyone looked surprised.
Six years ago, in Chinatown, USA, a man raped and murdered an eight-year-old girl.
This was a major news story that caused a sensation at the time.
Some members of the public may not know this, but these media professionals and journalists cannot possibly be unaware of it.
This matter is truly outrageous; once you hear about it, you can never forget it.
The live stream chat immediately erupted with comments.
[Holy crap, I remember this case! That man abducted an eight-year-old girl after school, locked her in the basement, raped and murdered her, and then dismembered her body. In the end, the police only found the girl's body parts.]
[I remember now, almost every newspaper in the country reported on this case at the time. That beast was even smiling at the police when he was arrested. What's even more hateful is that he turned out to be mentally ill.]
Yes, precisely because he was mentally ill, even though it aroused public outrage and the entire country of China and the United States strongly demanded that he be sentenced to death, in the end they could only find him not criminally responsible, and only subject him to compulsory supervision and treatment.
Does anyone know how this man is doing now? There seems to be no follow-up news.
[I only remember that after learning the outcome, the little girl's mother was so desperate that she jumped off a building to commit suicide. But I heard she survived.]
"Why did you bring up this case?" the reporter couldn't help but ask, then seemed to realize something, "Could it be...?"
"I am that little girl's mother."
When the woman spoke, her expression was like a stagnant pool of water that had long since lost its ripples.
Everyone gasped: "What, you are actually..."
The woman remained unmoved by the crowd's shock. She seemed lost in thought, her voice soft.
"My daughter died at the hands of that beast."
"She was so young and so cute, yet she was violated by that beast that night, and then dismembered piece by piece by that pervert."
"I held my daughter's body parts and my hair turned white overnight. Ironically, a mental illness diagnosis allowed him to escape legal judgment."
"Not to mention the death penalty, he didn't even need to go to jail; he was just locked up in a mental hospital for treatment. And my daughter, the little girl, didn't even have a complete body left behind."
"But as her mother, there's nothing I can do. My only hope is that the law can uphold justice and punish the wicked. But that's just wishful thinking."
"After learning the result, I didn't know what justice was. So I wanted to die and go down to be with my daughter. But I didn't die; I only broke my legs when I jumped."
"When I was lying in the hospital, attempting suicide for the second time by cutting my wrists, a little girl came to my room."
"She is very beautiful, as beautiful as my daughter, only three years older than my daughter. But her eyes look so mature and so determined."
She only said two sentences to me.
"The first thing I said was, 'Don't die.'"
"The second sentence is, 'The law cannot give me justice, but she will.'"
“At the time, I didn’t know what that sentence meant, nor did I know who the little girl was. But a month later, I received news of the murderer’s death.”
After the woman finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
Everyone's brain is working at lightning speed.
Some people found it unbelievable.
"So you mean that little girl is Jiang Nian, and the man killed in the video is the murderer who killed your daughter back then?!"
"In other words, it was Jiang Nian, who was only eleven years old at the time, who helped you commit the murder..."
“No, it wasn’t murder,” the woman shook her head. “I don’t know what the child did, but the man ran away from the mental hospital on his own. The knife you saw in the video was also brought by the man himself.”
What does this mean?
Seeing everyone's shocked looks, the woman explained, "That man ran away from the mental hospital and followed the child on that rainy night, trying to assault and kill her, just like he did to my daughter."
"However, he was killed by that child."
Oh My God.
The amount of information that came out of nowhere was too much.
The woman continued, "The video you saw was taken by a foreign student who happened to be passing by and was terrified."
"Later, when the police came to his door, he handed the video over to them. But when he learned the man's identity, he regretted it and wanted the video back, but there was nothing he could do."
"However, even though the video showed the child's face, the police did not issue an arrest warrant after obtaining the video. But not long after, the child turned himself in to the police station."
“The child was only eleven years old at the time. According to the laws of Z City in the United States, minors under the age of twelve are not criminally responsible, but her crime will still be tried in court.”
"Because it involved a minor, nothing about the case was made public, including the trial. The entire jury and the judge unanimously ruled that the child acted in self-defense and acquitted her in court."
After the woman finished explaining the whole story, everyone's expression was complicated.
No one expected that Jiang Nian's murder in the video was related to such a cruel old case.
However, there are too many things worth exploring here.
First of all, how could someone who is already under the compulsory supervision of a mental hospital see an eleven-year-old girl and even sneak out of the mental hospital for her?
Furthermore, how could an eleven-year-old girl possibly kill a tall, burly foreign adult man wielding a knife?
If it was truly just self-defense, if it was all just an accident and a coincidence, how could Jiang Nian have found this suicidal mother in advance and left her those two sentences?
There is only one possibility.
Jiang Nian, who was only eleven years old at the time, was indeed carrying out justice in her own way.
Moreover, justice was served in a reasonable and legal manner, without implicating himself in any way.
Moreover, from the international student who filmed the video and didn't want to hand it over, to the police who were slow to arrest her, to all the jurors and judges in the court, everyone thought she was right.
Everyone is protecting her.
