Chapter 69
[She dropped her doll at the orphanage. 】
[Don’t think too much. If you don’t find it, you just don’t find it.] 】
——
Song Hui, 52, former vice president and education director of Dahai Welfare Home, graduated with a bachelor’s and master’s degree in psychology from Xiangcheng University. After graduation, she worked in psychology and child education for many years. When she was 28 years old, she met her husband Su Fengxiong, and they got married the following year.
Su Fengxiong is a rural native. He is a noble son from a poor family. He also graduated with a master's degree from a 985 university and later joined a public institution in charge of social welfare work. When Su Fengxiong was 40 years old, he took over a public welfare home and became its director. Because of its standardized management and successful activities, it has won praise from all parties and has an excellent reputation in the industry. Song Hui followed his husband and later went to work in the welfare home.
Later, the former director of Dahai Welfare Home passed away. Under the coordination and assignment of the superior unit, Su Fengxiong served as the director of the smaller Dahai Welfare Home. However, the person who was actually responsible for the overall management and stationed in the home was Song Hui. Su Fengxiong only came twice a week to guide the work.
On the night of June 15 seven years ago, Song Hui personally killed her husband Su Fengxiong, with whom she had been married for 16 years.
The crime scene was in Su Fengxiong's private room in the backyard of Dahai Welfare Home. According to Song Hui's confession, she usually lived in the front yard, closer to the children's dormitory, which made it convenient to deal with emergencies at night. Only when Su Fengxiong came would the two of them live in the back room. This room is far away from other rooms and has a separate door for entering and exiting the welfare home. So the noise that night was not heard by the other teachers. The welfare home only installed surveillance cameras at the gate, the children's daily activity room and the dormitory. That night, all surveillance was turned off in advance. So it wasn't until the next morning when Song Hui turned himself in that everyone knew someone had died.
Li Qingyao and Xia Yongze looked through the files from that year, which contained very detailed records. Song Hui first used a vase in the room and hit Su Fengxiong on the back of his head when he wasn't paying attention. When he lost the ability to fight back, he stabbed him several times until he died. The murder weapon was a sharp meat cleaver from the orphanage kitchen.
When the police arrived, Song Hui had already washed the bloody clothes on his body, cleaned and washed the scene, changed into clean and decent clothes, and calmly allowed the police to handcuff him. Only Su Fengxiong was thrown on the ground like a chopped pig.
According to the investigation results and Song Hui's confession, she suffered domestic violence from Su Fengxiong many times. Moreover, Su Fengxiong often visited prostitutes and gambled on football, and even invited prostitutes to this room in the welfare home, where they lived a dissolute life, which made Song Hui feel humiliated. Song Hui is a native of Xiangcheng and comes from a well-off family. The Yue family has made great contributions to Su Fengxiong's successful career. Song Hui wanted to divorce, but Su Fengxiong strongly opposed it. He was afraid of losing the support of Yue family and was also afraid that Song Hui would reveal his affairs.
The police found Su Fengxiong's accounts and funds used for overseas football gambling, as well as his records of soliciting prostitutes. In addition to Song Hui's large number of fingerprints on the murder weapon, they also found fingerprints of four other people in the room. After comparison, two of them were found to be two nightclub ladies. There are two people who are not compared. If nothing unexpected happens, they should be call girls of the same identity.
Two months before the incident, Song Huigang filed for divorce with the court. According to Song Hui, the two had a heated argument that night over Su Fengxiong's gambling on football, and in a fit of rage, she killed him.
Although Song Hui was the victim in the marriage, various signs that night showed that she acted with premeditation, planning, and a high degree of calmness, and it was not a move of self-defense. The evidence is solid and the motive is clear. So in the end, he was sentenced to life imprisonment.
After Song Hui was detained, all the employees of the welfare home jointly wrote a letter, recounting Song Hui's hard work at the welfare home over the past five years. Although she has no children, she takes care of those helpless children like her own mother. She even spends all her savings and income on improving the living conditions of the children and teachers and caregivers. Each employee wrote a heartfelt petition that was thousands of words long. Those children with cerebral palsy and autism who can sign will sign, and those who cannot sign will leave their fingerprints. A thick stack of petitions, soaked with tears.
However, the law is not merciful.
——
Chengnan Women's Prison.
Li Qingyao was a little surprised when Song Hui sat down at the table.
She was wearing prison clothes, but they were clean. She had some white hair on her temples, and her short hair, a mixture of black and white, was also neatly groomed. She was very thin and fair, with her hands gently folded on her legs and her back straight. The face was not made up and had many wrinkles, but it also had a delicate and elegant temperament.
You would think that if she changed into decent clothes, this woman should be sitting safely in a university lecture hall or an elegant tea room, instead of being a prisoner like she is now.
Song Hui was also very quiet. He didn't ask why they came, but just sat and waited.
"Hello, Song Hui." Li Qingyao said, "We are here today because we want to ask you for help."
"Please go ahead." Her voice was also gentle and pleasant, but a little hoarse. "If there is anything I can do to help, I will do my best."
It was as if they were just two equals communicating, not police and prisoners.
Li Qingyao felt a little bit of favor in his heart.
She pushed the photo of Liu Tingmei in front of Song Hui and asked, "Have you seen this girl?"
Song Hui stared at the photo, stretched out his thin white hand to pick it up, looked at it intently for a few seconds, and said, "Sorry, I don't remember it."
"Think about it carefully." Li Qingyao stared into her calm eyes. "On June 5, 2017, a staff member of the Chaoyang Home Residential Committee named Liu Fang, who has been a good friend of yours for many years, sent her to Dahai Welfare Home. She said very clearly that you took her in."
Song Hui thought for a while and replied: "I remember what you said. It is true. I'm sorry, it's been too long and I've been in prison. I rarely come into contact with people and things from the past. I have forgotten a lot of things."
Li Qingyao smiled but said nothing.
"Can you tell us what Liu Tingmei does every day after coming to Dahai Welfare Home? What are her performances?" @
"She...she's very good. After Liu Fang sent her here, she explained her situation. I felt sorry for her because she had nowhere to go, so I let her work as a handyman in the welfare home. But she performed better than I expected. She was the first one to get up every day and cleaned the welfare home very well. She also cooked delicious food. She was even willing to help the teacher look after the children. Her English was also very good. We have several autistic children whose intelligence is better than all the children and they can do some simple learning. She taught them simple English, ABCD. Those children were very happy and said that they would be able to talk to foreigners in the future."
