Chapter 269 Can I Get a Reduced Sentence?
Huang Jianhui said that at first, he went there with the intention of really making an apology.
After all, if you put yourself in their shoes, if you were the girl's parents and knew about this, you would definitely call the police.
He and his wife both work in public institutions. If things really get to this point, the loss of face is secondary. He will probably be transferred to a low position in the company.
But after seeing Tang Xue, he was suddenly attracted by the youthful aura of Tang Xue.
Then that night, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
An evil idea came into his mind. He felt that since Tang Xue was so young and could do such a thing for his son, she must be a fickle woman at heart. Instead of letting others get her, he might as well take her down himself.
So he used his private money to buy a Walkman, because he observed that night that Tang Xue's house was covered with many posters of Hong Kong and Taiwan singers.
What happened next was basically the same as what Tang Xue had explained, except for the different subject of expression.
Huang Jianhui said that after he learned about Tang Xue's family situation and inner emotional deprivation, he knew that he couldn't use force, as this would easily scare her away, so he was very patient.
It was not until that night that Tang Xue took the initiative to reach out and hug him, and the long-suppressed desire poured out like a flood.
When he discovered the blood stain, he was very surprised, because in his impression, Tang Xue definitely couldn't be a virgin. After all, she was so young and could do those things with his son, so she must have been slept with before.
The result was beyond his expectations, and he suddenly felt that he had found a treasure.
In the days that followed, the two kept their relationship secret from everyone.
Huang Jianhui confessed to the police that he knew he was guilty of a heinous crime, but Tang Xue's young body and youthful energy made him unable to stop.
While he was enjoying the unbridled indulgence of his desires, he was also worried about being discovered one day.
Until he came back from a business trip, Tang Xue told him that something was wrong with her stomach. Then when he saw Tang Xue's bulging belly, he was completely dumbfounded.
That night, the incident happened suddenly and he didn't have condoms with him.
He wore it every time after that.
He was hoping for luck, thinking it wouldn't be such a coincidence just that one time.
As a result, the opposite happened, it was just a coincidence.
And if he had not gone out of town, he could have discovered it early and had an abortion. By the time he found out, it was too late.
Induced labor is the only option at seven months. Induced labor in a regular hospital requires the signature of a guardian. Induced labor in an informal hospital carries huge risks, and it is even more serious if someone dies.
He hid for a while because he was very afraid of being discovered. Once this was discovered, everything he had would be gone.
But he later went to find Tang Xue and comforted her because he was afraid that Tang Xue would give him up in desperation.
He wanted to calm Tang Xue down, find a way to get her to give birth to the child, and then figure out how to deal with it himself.
During that period, he was extremely nervous and irritable, and was in a state of panic all day long.
When people at work noticed something was wrong with him, he would use the excuse that it was a family matter; when facing his wife, he would lie and say it was a work matter.
Until the evening of March 1st, he received a call from Tang Xue.
When he learned that Tang Xue was home alone, he immediately drove to Donghai Community. Every time he came to Donghai Community before, he would carefully park his car in a secluded place near the community to avoid being discovered.
When he arrived, Tang Xue had already given birth to the baby. The baby was lying on the bedroom floor, its body still connected to the placenta through the umbilical cord.
He just felt his scalp tingling, but when he found that the small child, who might be suffering from malnutrition, was still motionless, he suddenly felt a burst of joy in his heart.
He asked Tang Xue why the child had no reaction at all.
Tang Xue cried and said she didn't know because she didn't dare to look.
So he comforted Tang Xue and told her that it was a stillbirth and the child had died at birth.
Then he settled her down and dealt with the baby and placenta himself.
He was holding the plastic bag containing the placenta and the baby, hesitating. Finally, he picked up a kitchen knife and walked into the bathroom.
Up to this point, the situation is basically as explained by Tang Xue.
Then, something happened that Tang Xue didn't know.
Huang Jianhui said that although he had a knife at the time, he had never done such a thing before and was very scared.
He took the child out of the plastic bag, placed him on the toilet floor, held the knife in his hand, and hesitated to take action.
Just as he was hesitating, suddenly, he found that the child's chest seemed to be rising and falling slightly.
When they heard this, Zhou Yi and Qiao Jiali couldn't help but become nervous, because Huang Jianhui's confession was crucial.
If he denied that the child was alive at the time, it would mean that the police would have to spend more effort to pry open Huang Jianhui's mouth.
But this well-dressed fellow was obviously frightened. It might also be because he was considered a cultured and knowledgeable person in the outside world and knew that it was futile to try to conceal the facts.
After all, the police did not find the body, but the murderer did not have a God's perspective and was unaware of this situation.
He said, "I realized the child seemed to still be breathing, so I wanted to go over and take a look. But just as I got closer, the child suddenly burst into tears. I was so scared that I raised the knife in my hand... I..."
Zhou Yi asked: "What did you do?"
"I... I swear I didn't mean to do that. My mind was blank. I was afraid that his crying would be heard by others, so... I..."
Zhou Yi loudly demanded, "Tell me! What did you do to that child?"
"I... I just chopped it a few times with the knife. I swear... I really didn't mean to do it... I forgot that I still had the knife in my hand... I... I just wanted to... I..." Huang Jianhui tried to explain incoherently.
But no matter how much he explained, it was meaningless.
The truth behind the Donghai Community case has now been revealed.
The interrogation is still going on in order to improve the investigation and handling procedures of the entire case. Huang Jianhui explained the follow-up matters.
Including when Tang Xue asked him about hearing the baby crying, and when he forgot there was a placenta in the bag after dealing with the body, he didn't remember it until the next day.
In the days that followed, he was always immersed in the fear of being discovered, walking on thin ice, and his days felt like years. He even thought about hanging himself to end his life because he really couldn't imagine how terrifying it would be to be a prisoner.
He was extremely excited until Tang Xue told him that Yao Fenfang was going to take the blame for her. In order to keep Tang Xue on his side, he promised her an illusory future.
But to be on the safe side, he told Tang Xue that they should try not to meet each other in the future to avoid being discovered.
A while ago, when he heard that the police were making a big fuss about recovering a body from the septic tank in the Donghai community, he was so frightened that he couldn't sleep or eat.
During that period, everyone looked like a police officer coming to arrest him. He was in a state of panic and fear.
But there was no movement afterwards. Then he heard that the body parts that were fished out were those of a missing middle-aged woman who had been dismembered. After confirming this through inquiries from many sources, he gradually relaxed.
Until yesterday, when Zhou Yi called him and asked him to take his son to the Municipal Bureau to have blood drawn, his heart instantly became nervous again.
After he hung up the phone yesterday, he immediately dropped his work and ran to the school, picked up Huang Chen, and asked him what the police had told him.
When he learned that they came for Tang Xue, the long-lost feeling of fear instantly came back.
Huang Jianhui cried and said that he was almost tortured to the point of going crazy, but he had to pretend that nothing had happened. Now that he had said everything, he suddenly felt relieved.
"Two police comrades, do you think I have actively confessed the case? Can I...can I get a reduced sentence? In a case like mine, how long will the sentence usually be?" Huang Jianhui asked impatiently.
Zhou Yi took the transcript and asked him to check and sign it.
At the same time, he said, "Huang Jianhui, whether or not your sentence can be reduced is not up to us. You have to ask the court. However, you are currently guilty of intentional homicide and desecration of a corpse. Furthermore, you are a public official. Do you think the law will give you a light sentence? If you are punished for multiple crimes, what do you think the result will be?"
Huang Jianhui, who had just signed the document, looked up at Zhou Yi in despair, his face pale and he cried, "But I've confessed everything..."
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place." Zhou Yi paused, then added, "But I'm reminding you first, we will verify everything you say in this transcript. Don't assume we believe it just because you say it."
Huang Jianhui's expression suddenly became even uglier. He slumped in the detention chair like a piece of melted plastic, emitting a pungent stench.
Zhou Yi understood instantly. It seemed that he was still hiding something.
After all, during the interrogation, he portrayed himself as a middle-aged man who had gone astray.
But Zhou Yi did not intend to continue to argue with him during the interrogation. Anyway, there were Shi Tao and the others, so he was waiting for the results of the search.
It was not until the afternoon that the two groups of people from the second team returned one after another.
Shi Tao and He Bin each brought back important information.
Shi Tao was the first to take people to Huang Jianhui's house to search.
When Shi Tao led his men to search, Gu Changhai was responsible for questioning Gu Hong.
From Gu Hong, we learned that Huang Jianhui was a repeat offender and his relationships with women were always unclear.
When the two were dating, he was entangled with his ex-girlfriend.
When she was pregnant, she found out that he was dating a colleague from work alone.
Later, it even happened that when he came back from a business trip, a stranger's woman's sexy underwear fell out from the dirty clothes in his suitcase.
But he always made excuses to make excuses, and Gu Hong had to swallow her anger because she had no evidence to catch him cheating in bed.
Gu Hong cried and complained about how miserable she was, but it was impossible to sympathize with her at all.
When Gu Changhai asked her a question in return, she was completely stunned.
Gu Changhai asked: "You know he is this kind of person, why don't you divorce him?"
