"So he prayed to the murderer, begging the other party to give him a happy ending and end his life."
"The murderer grabbed the scissors and aimed them at the deceased's chest. I don't know if he hesitated, or how long he hesitated, but in the end he stabbed the scissors into the deceased's heart, stabbing with all his strength...the deceased was freed gone."
Su Bai said softly: "This is not a premeditated murder case, otherwise the murder weapon would not be scissors, the location would not be in the room, and the room would not be kept clean and tidy, nor would the dead be tidied up like this." clean."
"In fact, you only need to take one or two items and disrupt the room to create a burglary situation, but the murderer didn't do it, which proves that he didn't expect it, or he didn't want to do it."
"All the signs indicate that the deceased trusted the murderer and was familiar with the murderer. The two parties should have enough close emotions, otherwise no one would be willing to bear the crime of murder for the other. This kind of guilt is a thorn that needs to be carried for a lifetime."
"Am I right?" Su Bai asked softly, "Miss Huizi."
After the questioning, the woman in beautiful clothes lowered her head. In the eyes of everyone who was surprised or understood, she restrained all the previous disguised expressions, and was no longer in a hurry. She just walked forward slowly as if resigned to her fate, and knelt down on the corpse before.
"You saw through it all, Mr. Feng Xing." Keiko said bitterly, "It was I... who killed my husband with my own hands."
"Ah, this..." The witnesses looked at each other, they didn't expect this to happen, but the most unlikely person was the murderer.
"Killing is not appropriate, it should be said to be a relief." Su Bai sighed. Even in modern times, this kind of crime is impossible to be severely punished, and even jail time is not required, because this is the voluntary death of the deceased, and the murderer The mental torture he endured was more severe than any punishment.
"No, it was murder." Keiko knelt down in front of the corpse and said softly, "I met him five years ago. At that time, he was just a salesman with no status, no power, no money, but I liked his words very much. As the daughter of a wealthy businessman with several shops in his family, I had a marriage contract, but I married him regardless."
"When I married him, he said ecstatically that he would let me live a good life in the future. From then on, he began to devote himself to business, in order to make money to support his family, and to live a good life in the future... ...I know that I am not a very caring wife, after all, the cakes I make are not delicious at all, but he will finish them every time."
"Business has been difficult for the past six months. He just lives in the warehouse all day, talks to other businessmen all day, and runs around. It is difficult for me to see him every day. He gradually becomes quiet and often Mind-wandering, a little different from the past, becoming decadent, becoming old... This is because of me, my existence has brought him pressure, because he wants to prove it to my parents, because he wants to fulfil your promise……"
"It's me who killed him. It wouldn't have happened if I hadn't put pressure on him."
"I didn't even hesitate when he shook my hand and begged me to end him."
"Maybe I knew it was going to be like this... I would kill him, myself, kill him."
Keiko lowered her head slowly, her voice gradually choked, and she covered her face, the facial features covered with makeup were blurred by tears, and the tears diluted her makeup, revealing a face of remorse, guilt, and sadness.
She put on heavy makeup to cover up her sadness, and now that the truth is out, she doesn't have to cover up like this anymore.
In the silence, only the woman sobbed silently.
After a long time, Keiko stopped crying, as if she had finished saying goodbye, she stood up again, and said softly: "Master Fengxing... I have confessed my crime, and I can accept any punishment, but at least please allow me to bury my husband first. "
Su Bai looked at the woman: "I can forgive you for killing your husband. This is also his voluntary death. From this alone, I will not judge, but the crime of bribing a warrior and wronging others should still be punished as it should be."
"I have no objection." Keiko lowered her head and accepted everything silently.
She accepted it too calmly, and was taken away by the warriors. Before leaving, she walked by Lianhua's side, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything, but tried her best to show an apologetic and bitter smile.
After a case was concluded, the earth side watched the back of the woman and her husband's body being sent away. He said, "I still can't figure out something."
"what?"
"Since her husband did it voluntarily, why did she hide it? Even at the expense of bribing warriors and killing refugees, she wanted to cover it up? She tried her best to cover it up before, but now she confesses her guilt decisively. The difference in her attitude is too great." Tufang said: "Yes Didn't you guess wrong? Did she kill her husband on purpose?"
"No." Su Bai said firmly: "Her previous behavior was not so much trying to cover up the truth, but a kind of panic and anxiety. Her attitude was too obvious, but it was easy to reveal flaws."
"Then why hide it?"
"It's very simple." Su Bai looked at Tu Fang: "Because you don't believe it."
"Me?" Tufang pointed at himself, looking puzzled.
"You don't believe it, you don't believe it, so others don't believe it either." Su Bai looked far away: "You have heard all my inferences, and you know the details of the case here, and you have seen the wounds of the deceased. Everything is very consistent, but you still doubt it' She killed on purpose', so if she confesses from the beginning, who will believe that she didn't mean to?"
"Because no one would believe it, she decided from the beginning to cover up the truth."
"Three people become tigers, spreading rumors and waiting for the rumors to spread. Rumors that a wife killed her husband will ruin her husband's reputation, and it will also bring heavy social pressure to her parents, relatives and friends."
"Besides...she knew that she didn't kill people on purpose, but her hands were bloody after all. Under the huge mental pressure, she simply made up a mistake and made up a fake ending in the form of a lie." Su Bai looked around. People around: "Anyway, what most people want is not the truth at all, but a result."
The other listeners looked away unnaturally.
In the deformed Japanese traditional society, the collectivism of 'no trouble for the collective' is a distorted social outlook.
What many people pay attention to is not the truth at all, but the fact that they don't cause trouble to themselves. They need a quick result, and then the dust settles quickly, without hindering the stability of a group.
The panic before was due to the possibility of hidden beheaders or thugs, but now that the truth is revealed, they all feel relieved.
The ups and downs of the previous development made everyone feel a little bit embarrassed about the truth. If Daoming had revealed the truth easily from the very beginning, the impact would not be so strong, and few people would believe her self-reported truth. What they believe is not the truth at all, but the fact that shocks them.
Su Bai didn't want to say anything about it, turned around and smiled at Lianhua: "Let's go, I'll take you to buy a new dress."
Before Lianhua could react, Su Bai grabbed her wrist and walked several steps away.
Hijikata opened his mouth, exchanged glances with other patrolling warriors, and parted ways. They also knew that Mr. Feng Xing was going to hang out again. He never dealt with official duties, and he was just a tool for his subordinates. .
On the wooden bridge entering the town, Su Bai slowed down: "Lianhua."
"Huh?" Lianhua raised her head and looked at Lord Fengxing.
"Why didn't you say it at the beginning?" Su Bai asked strangely.
"..." Lianhua hurriedly lowered her head, avoiding her eyes: "Say, what are you talking about? I, I..."
"Now you don't need to hide it from me anymore, they are all gone, no one will blame you." Su Bai slowed down his tone.
"I'm sorry." Lianhua apologized cautiously, she thought she had offended the adults.
"There's nothing to apologize for, I just don't quite understand." Su Bai stroked her hair, and asked suspiciously, "You should have seen the whole process of her killing her husband, right? You are hiding in the attic, the movement below You should have heard everything clearly..."
Lianhua did not continue to hide this time, but replied: "...I saw it."
