Forensics
Chapter 74 Redemption
Close to midnight, Penang City Council.
Gu Yanchen led Lu Ying and a police officer in charge of recording into Tao Ya's interrogation room.
The girl in front of her still lowered her head quietly. She was different from the other suspects Gu Yanchen had seen.
Those people were either arrogant, or fearful, or nervous, or proud.
But Tao Ya, she sat quietly, as if she had no human feelings at all.
She protects herself well.
Gu Yanchen said: "They have all confessed, and Sun Yushi also admitted the crime of killing Zhou Yingying. But I don't think this is the truth."
Tao Ya rolled her eyes and looked at him.
"The other girls said that you woke them up and let them stab Zhou Yingying's body with a knife. The forensic doctor found the ingredients of digoxin tablets in Zhou Yingying's body. In the whole dormitory, Only if it was ever prescribed on your medical card."
All kinds of clues point to this seemingly quiet and ordinary girl.
Faced with the questioning, Tao Ya's eyes moved, looking at the pile of documents on the table, she suddenly raised her hand up, and found a picture of a dead body from those photos.
The girl's eyes fell on the waxed corpse, and she sighed.Then she put down the photo, raised her head, and looked at Gu Yanchen: "I know, you will find out here."
Gu Yanchen pressed his hands on the table, leaned over and asked her, "Zhou Yingying, who killed her?"
"She died at the hands of everyone." Tao Ya finally spoke, her voice was hoarse, her tone was calm and deep.
Gu Yanchen asked, "What do you mean?"
Tao Ya pursed her lips slightly.
Gu Yanchen took out a stack of documents: "According to our investigation, Zhou Yingying used to be your good friend. What happened between you?"
Tao Ya pulled her hair and said, "Zhou Yingying and I are indeed good friends. Although I haven't been in the same class with her in the past, we have always had a good relationship. At that time we lived not far away, and we were both in chorus classes. Yes, we often do homework together, and I even thought that one day when I get married, she will be my bridesmaid, and if she gets married first, I will also be willing to stand by her side."
"I was the first to enter this factory. Before the official report, I asked a few good friends in my hometown. Zhou Yingying was immediately interested and wanted to enter, so I introduced her to the personnel of the factory. .”
"But, I think too simply."
Tao Ya's tone was a bit sad, but her eyes were dry without a trace of tears.
Her expression makes it difficult to judge whether she is remembering her best friend or exposing her crimes.
She seems to stand on a dividing line between black and white.
Even Gu Yanchen couldn't tell whether the girl in front of him was an innocent person or a brutal murderer.
He listened patiently to her.
"In the beginning, everything seemed to be fine. The life in the factory was very simple and there were not too many turmoil. It all started on the third day after Zhou Yingying joined the job. When we were working, we flew in from outside A black beetle, she yelled, shaking the bug away."
Tao Ya still remembers it clearly.
On that day, she had just joined the job, and the sun shone in from the window. Each of them was wearing a factory uniform, concentrating on the work in front of them.
The black beetle that flew in suddenly landed on Zhou Yingying's clothes.
She cried out loudly.
Then she flicked away the bug.
This scene suddenly happened in the quiet workshop. Zhou Yingying's cry broke the silence, and everyone looked up at her.
I don't know who it was, but the first one burst out laughing, and then the others laughed too. The laughter spread and spread, and everyone was laughing, except for her and Zhou Yingying.
The initial smile was just out of emotion, and she didn't realize that there was such a malicious intention at that time.
Until Sun Yushi's eyes fell on Zhou Yingying, the corners of her mouth were raised, as if she had found a new toy.
This is where all the misfortunes started.
Tao Ya finished her memories, she sighed and continued: "Since she was a child, Zhou Yingying was afraid of nothing but those bugs. Her cry was a bit exaggerated. Many female workers saw that scene, including Sun Yushi. She laughed at the time. and said to Zhou Yingying, 'You look like a dancing rhino. Why don't we call you a rhino.'”
"At that time, I saw my good friend being bullied, and I was angry. I just went back and said, 'How can you call others nicknames like this?'"
"I didn't expect that it was just this sentence that attracted Sun Yushi's crazy revenge. She hugged the girls from her hometown and tried every means to bully me. They even gave up teasing Zhou Yingying."
Gu Yanchen also heard about this matter from Han Ziai.
"They would deliberately wet my clothes that were hanging out to dry, and let me wear wet clothes to work in the workshop. They would throw my books on the ground, step on them a few times, and pretend that they saw them and returned them to me. The dormitory inspection, Asked not to plug in electrical appliances, they will deliberately take out my things and plug them in, and then let the housekeeper find out, causing me to be criticized. They will leave me alone in the workshop and will not help me cook. For example It happens almost every day."
Talking about all this, Tao Ya in front of her was calm.
Bullying a strong person is sometimes more fun than bullying a weak person.
Her haughty attitude made Sun Yushi want to humiliate her, like a pure white thing, someone will always want to dirty it.They want to drag her to the ground, get her in the mud, get trampled dirty, and bad guys get a sense of accomplishment.
"At that time, all the female workers in the workshop were afraid to approach me. Only Zhou Yingying, she felt that this situation was caused by her, and she hugged me and cried in a place where no one was around. Don't be nice to me in front of me, don't talk to me, otherwise, they will bully you together.'"
"From that day on, we started acting in front of other female workers." She lowered her head and looked at her hands, "I don't want to hurt her."
Gu Yanchen asked: "Is there anything to prove what you said?"
Tao Ya shook her head: "In order not to be suspected by others, we don't chat online." Then she remembered something and said, "We have a small secret base behind the factory. The framed open space is connected to the back of the factory. It is obvious that both inside and outside can come in, but people inside the factory will not go, and people outside will not come. There, we can talk freely, just like when we were children. "
"Since then, Zhou Yingying and I will go there to talk when others are not paying attention. Only there can we breathe freely."
Gu Yanchen frowned and listened, he realized that that place was where Zhou Yingying's body was buried.
"Although I was bullied miserably by Sun Yushi and the others, I still endured it. Until one winter we went out for group building..."
"All the people crowded by the lake, no one paid attention to it, only I saw it, the cold lake was under our feet. I was thinking at that time, if Sun Yushi died, everything would be solved. In the crowd , she fell into the lake."
"I looked at her, sinking bit by bit..."
Telling this story, Tao Ya's voice was calm, and she looked into the distance.
She seemed to have returned to the lake, looking at the endless water, and heard the screams of the female workers.
That annoying woman floated up and down, she might choke on water at any moment, and just submerged in the water and disappeared.
Her eyes were indifferent, looking down at her.
But at that time she didn't feel the pleasure of revenge.
Did Sun Yushi just let her die like this?
She felt like a butterfly wrapped in mucus in a silkworm chrysalis. If she couldn't break free, she would die in the chrysalis.
Her heart beat like a drum, ready to break through her chest at any moment.
It seemed that the person on the verge of life and death was not Sun Yushi, but herself.
Thoughts turn back and forth in an instant.
She finally made a decision.
No, you can't let her die like this!
She jumped into the lake, and at that moment, the cold water pierced her lungs like a sharp knife.
She's taking a gamble.
……
In the interrogation room, Tao Ya looked back at her hands.
She coughed lightly for a while and wiped the corners of her mouth.
Since the winter of that year, she has fallen to the root of the disease, sometimes waking up at night with a cough.She was afraid of waking up others, so she curled up on the bed and covered her mouth with the quilt until dawn.
Gu Yanchen knew that the girl's description was evasive, and she didn't explain in detail how Sun Yushi fell, but he still heard some clues.
At that time, Tao Ya should be on the verge of blackening.
She almost became a murderer.
He already knew the outcome of this matter, but he still listened without interrupting Tao Ya.
"I still couldn't watch her drown. I hesitated for a while, thinking that it was a human life after all. Then I jumped into the water and saved her. She had a conscience, and Sun Yushi finally stopped bullying me. But I did not expect that……"
Having said that, Tao Ya clenched her fists.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanchen asked, "What happened next?"
"Later Sun Yushi accepted me, but turned to bully Han Ziai and Zhou Yingying."
Bullying is still there, it just has a different target.
"The bullying thing is like a snowball rolling down the mountain among these people. With inertia, it gets bigger and bigger, and everyone is adding to it. A lot of people have fun from it."
"Even if I stood around Sun Yushi, there was still no way to curb this kind of behavior. Sometimes, because of my dissuasion, the bullying would intensify. At that time, Zhou Yingying and I could only continue acting."
"When I was outside, I didn't talk to her, and I even started to take the lead in bullying her. If I did it, Sun Yushi and others would bully her less. During that time, almost every Friday night, Sun Yushi would bully her She called to the storage room downstairs, found reasons to punish her, made fun of her, and watched her make a fool of herself. The rest of them would also go to watch and make suggestions to laugh at Zhou Yingying."
"That's a group behavior. I found that that kind of behavior is related to Sun Yushi, but it's not entirely about her. Sun Yushi is the one in front, but none of the others are innocent."
"Sometimes, just because of a word or a thought of someone in the group, bullying occurs. Other people are vassals and trample over the weak."
"Anyone who puts forward an objection will be hostile by everyone, even Sun Yushi. If she does not do enough, she will not be able to convince the public, she will be complained by other people in the group, and everyone will unite against her. Those emotions Inspired by her, she will do even crazier things in order to maintain her status and personality."
"If you want to break through all this, the efforts of one or two people are too difficult to achieve. Everyone is an individual. They have some consistency and different characteristics. Unpredictable and elusive."
"I can see that Zhou Yingying began to haggard and become depressed after being tortured. She really wanted to escape here, but her family did not allow her to leave the factory. She became more and more painful and desperate, and I can't help her with anything."
"Her body began to feel unwell, and her heart beat very fast. She was afraid that her parents and people in the factory would know, so she borrowed my medical insurance card to go to the hospital for treatment. She got the news that her heart was deformed because of obesity. If she didn't After undergoing surgery, she may die from a heart attack at any time. The doctor prescribed digoxin tablets to temporarily relieve her symptoms."
Gu Yanchen asked: "About these, are there any inspection results?"
Tao Ya shook her head: "Zhou Yingying went there by herself. I didn't see any test results. The hospital is not very big, but it is relatively close to the factory. She said that the doctor wanted her to be hospitalized, but she refused and only took some The medicine is back."
Gu Yanchen also tried to get Bai Meng to find the doctor at that time before, but the hospital was not fully digitized, and the medical records were lost after a long time. Apart from confirming that the hospital had prescribed medicine, they did not get other information.
Hearing this, Lu Ying, who was also interrogating, had some doubts: "You don't mean to say that Zhou Yingying died of a heart attack, right?"
At this point in the investigation of the case, he was unwilling to believe in such a simple coincidence ending.
But this possibility corresponds to many details in their investigation.
Digoxin in the blood, heart attack, death.
Tao Ya raised her head and blinked her eyelashes lightly, "Please listen to me, things are not that simple."
She went on to tell the story.
"Zhou Yingying wanted to have an operation at first, but she knew that her family didn't have that much money, and if her illness was found out by the factory, she would be fired. The operation cost at least 20 yuan, and even if experts were invited, the success rate was only [-]%. out of ten."
"It happened on her 22nd lunar birthday. The custom in our hometown is to only celebrate the lunar calendar. It was only me and her in the secret base. I bought her a small piece of cake. In the end we only ordered one A candle, and when I lit it, I realized there was only a small distorted light, which is not auspicious for a birthday."
"Zhou Yingying finally faced up to the fact that she might die soon. She felt that her short life was so small and humble, her parents were still alive, and those coworkers who bullied others would still live well. There would be nothing in the world Change, except that she may be missing. We chatted, and we were angry at those people and things. At that time, we thought of a plan..."
Speaking of this, Tao Ya's eyes turned red, I don't know if it was because of sadness or hatred.
She spoke the truth: "We decided to take advantage of her death. Take revenge on those people."
Speaking of this, Tao Ya seemed to feel that she had returned to that dark storage room again.
Zhou Yingying lay on the ground without breathing or heartbeat.
Sun Yushi collapsed not far away, broke down and cried because of a missed murder, and the other girl was also completely at a loss.
Facing her friend's corpse at that time, she took a deep breath and stood up: "Calm down, Sun Yushi, you must calm down. I have a way to change everything. No one will know that you killed someone."
Sun Yushi stopped crying, raised her head and looked at her blankly.
She said, "We can call other people down and make them think that we killed Zhou Yingying."
As she said this, her body trembled, her voice seemed not to be her own.
This was a plan she had made long ago.
Zhou Yingying's death seemed to be a turning point.
Everything will change from this.
In the interrogation room, Tao Ya admitted: "I took advantage of her death and her corpse. I gave Sun Yushi an idea. In order to make her believe me, I stabbed the corpse first, and then I Tell the other girls to go downstairs."
After saying this, Tao Ya looked up at the policemen.
She tells a completely different story.
The whole thing became Rashomon-like.
In the observation room, everyone was silent.
From Tao Ya's expression, Bai Meng couldn't tell whether it was true or a lie she fabricated.
But she recalled what Sun Yushi said, she remembered Sun Yushi said that only that night, when Zhou Yingying resisted her like crazy, they wrestled together.
Gu Yanchen said: "What can prove these things you said?"
Tao Ya said, "I have a video."
She paused and said, "It was a video recorded by Zhou Yingying during her lifetime. The original copy was lost with my old mobile phone, but there is an edited video. I added a password and put it in the cloud. If you give me the mobile phone, I can Find it and show it to you. Prove that I'm telling the truth."
Bai Meng hurriedly got up and went to get Tao Ya's mobile phone. She connected the mobile phone to the computer in the police observation room and made a simple screen projection.
Through a layer of evidence bag, Tao Ya operated an old-fashioned mobile phone. She entered from a program, entered several layers of passwords, entered a cloud space, and then decoded and opened it.
As soon as the folder was opened, everyone looked at the screen.
The first thing you see is the photo inside.
There are a lot of those photos, twelve in total.
It was a group photo of the female worker and the corpse.
Each female worker held a knife in her hand and stabbed the back of Zhou Yingying's dead body.
The wounds on his back gradually increased from one to the other.
In the dark storage room, the girls were pale and had different expressions, some were numb, some were in pain, some were crying, and some were frightened.
It was these photos that changed their lives forever.
Tao Ya said: "I also recorded the video of Zhou Yingying and Sun Yushi fighting, and it's all in there."
Finally, she clicked on the longest video.
A plump, ordinary-looking young girl appeared on the screen.
Everyone recognized at a glance that she was Zhou Yingying, the deceased in this case.
Just before, Shen Junci had seen her photos and her body, but now he saw her image, which gave people a feeling of unreality.
The background of the video is dark, and there is no light to be seen, only a small candle is lit in front of Zhou Yingying, reflecting her face.
Tao Ya's voice came from outside: "Say something, after all, it's my 22nd birthday."
Zhou Yingying paused: "What should I say?"
She looked at the camera and paused for a few seconds before speaking: "I have been a fat person since I was a child. I am very ordinary, I am not good-looking, my academic performance is not good, my family has no money, and my parents often scold me. I can feel it. I realized that they don’t love me. My brother also looked down on me. In school, I was mediocre. I never had a relationship. loved."
"I'm timid and cowardly. For the past twenty years of my life, I've been acting on the eyes of others."
"I used to think that when I became an adult, I could have my own life and everything would be beautiful, but when I grew up, I found that it was not the case. Once I was 20 years old, my parents regarded me as a cat. Mature pigs waiting to be slaughtered, if it wasn’t for this factory with a good salary, I would have been forced to marry a long time ago.”
"And Sun Yushi, and those fellow workers, are bullying me again and again."
"I feel that I am in purgatory, and this hell is imposed on me by the people around me, whether it is passers-by, parents, relatives, colleagues, leaders... because I am fat, because I am ugly, because I am I can’t do what they want, because I look like a bully, everyone is human, but I have become the object of their bullying and venting. No one has ever considered my feelings.”
Tao Ya enlightened her from the side: "It's not exactly what you said. You see, I have also experienced these things, but I have survived. Everything will be better. If there is no future, then it is real, there is nothing. So I still hope that you can survive. You should tell your family about your illness and go to a better hospital."
"But not everyone can be as strong as you. At least I don't have your courage, I'm not as smart as you, and I'm not as lucky as you. I'm just an ordinary person."
Zhou Yingying continued: "I once thought about running away, going to a place where no one knew me, and living alone. But later, I found that I couldn't go very far, I had no money, and my documents were pressed in the factory. My parents stare at me so much... Even if I leave, what can I do? When I go to a new place, people will still call me like a pig and say that I can't do anything. What's more, I'm sick now, and I'm about to die... ..."
When the video is put here, the screen goes black, and then lights up after a while.
This time, Zhou Yingying looked at the phone camera, her eyes seemed to penetrate the screen.
"In the past, I was a timid and cowardly person. Now I want to change all this before I die. Tonight, I will call and talk to my parents. Sun Yushi will probably call me again. I Will try, resist her."
"If my parents stop scolding me and forcing me, I will tell them about my illness and work with them to find a solution. If Sun Yushi doesn't bully me tonight and she lets me go, I will Go to a big hospital by yourself, do a detailed examination, and find a way to see a doctor.”
When she said this, she choked up a bit, and even the police officers in front of the screen felt the girl's despair.
Zhou Yingying wiped her eyes: "If I fight hard tonight and there is no result, if they still treat me like before. Then I hope...I hope...they can be punished and pay the price..."
Speaking of this, she looked at Tao Ya: "Tao Ya, will you help me do it?"
"I will. We will be good best friends for a lifetime. The kind that will never betray each other." Tao Ya's voice came: "If, I mean, if, if it really comes to that point, you will hope that you will be betrayed. Where is it buried?"
Zhou Yingying pointed to her feet: "Just here. Only here, I am free, happy, and I belong to myself."
"I don't even want someone to find my body, so that I can sleep here peacefully. Someone will blame my family, my parents, for my disappearance, saying that they are patriarchal and forced their own children away. daughter."
"Sun Yushi will become a murderer because of my death. She will always be afraid and fearful. Others will also have a thorn in their hearts because of my death. They can no longer be as peaceful as before. to bully others.”
"The people I couldn't resist while I was alive will be punished after I die. They will dream of me in their dreams. Then wake up, and I will be their eternal nightmare, lingering."
Zhou Yingying faced the camera and smiled.
This is like her small and mediocre final declaration of war against the world.
If she is defeated, she will use her life as a bargaining chip, put it on the scale, and move everything.
A last-ditch effort like a moth to a flame.
After the video screen goes black again, it then lights up again.
"If one day, I mean, if the police find my body, you can show them this video. Prove that all my actions are my own will, my own choice, and have nothing to do with you. "
Tao Ya said, "Let's eat cake."
Zhou Yingying said: "Then let me make a wish, I don't want to die, I want to live, I love this world so much."
She blew out the candles on the cake, and all was plunged into darkness.
The video stopped and everyone fell silent.
This video was recorded a year ago, and now they have seen all the endings.
Zhou Yingying was already dead, she seemed to have been killed by those people, and also by this world.
Gu Yanchen's expression was dignified and serious.
Seeing this, Bai Meng took out a tissue and sobbed softly.
Shen Junci didn't know if Zhou Yingying's parents hadn't yelled at her that day and quarreled fiercely.If Sun Yushi hadn't bullied and humiliated her as usual, the result would have been different.
But no if.
That kind and ordinary girl died on the night she was 22 years old.
Tao Yadao: "From that day on, I carried the oath to Zhou Yingying on my shoulders, and carried out the plan. When Sun Yushi was at a loss, I came up with the idea to let each girl be judged by morality. I maintained the balance of the dormitory, You should know what happened after that."
Zhou Yingying's parents were blamed by everyone.
Sun Yushi began to act with her tail between her legs.
The bullying in the bedroom has since disappeared.
Zhou Yingying couldn't save herself, but everything seemed to be better because of her death.
Others are hell.
She turned herself into a fire and tore a rift in hell.
It's a pity that she herself will never see all this again.
Tao Yadao: "After Zhou Yingying's death, I started to make a thousand paper cranes, one every day, and it has been a year now. The thousand paper cranes are my thoughts for my friends. I hope that the little paper cranes can be passed on. Belief, if there really is a world after death, then Zhou Yingying will know and feel gratified for everything today."
At this point in the case, it seems that the truth has finally come to light.
At night, Bai Meng packed up all the files, she wiped away her tears, and woke up from the emotion and empathy.
Others got up one after another and continued to work.
Shen Junci looked at Gu Yanchen who was on the side, his expression was not relieved after solving the case.
Forensic Shen thought for a moment, and suddenly understood.
Although he also deduced this possibility before listening to Tao Ya's confession, there were still some things wrong.
Now that Tao Ya said so and showed the video, he suspects that this is still not the truth.
Shen Junci asked Gu Yanchen: "Should we believe Tao Ya's testimony? Although I have the video of Zhou Yingying, I discovered one thing, that is, in the story told by Tao Ya, many things happened in the secret base Including the fact that they agreed to hide their underground friendship from each other. Apart from this video, Tao Ya’s testimony has no other evidence to prove all of that.”
After all, everything happened after the nickname incident.
At that time, Tao Ya helped Zhou Yingying stand out, but the cowardly Zhou Yingying hid behind Tao Ya, and even watched Tao Ya being bullied.
Could it be that at that time, there was a rift in their friendship, and Tao Ya was disappointed with her friend, and had the idea of revenge on Zhou Yingying?
Otherwise, it doesn't make sense. After Tao Ya's relationship with Sun Yushi has eased, why did other people suddenly start targeting Han Ziai and Zhou Yingying, who are from her hometown?Did Tao Ya contribute to this?
Unpredictable people.
Human nature is also elusive.
Is there a possibility that Tao Ya is trying to provoke Zhou Yingying on both sides and playing a good person in front of Zhou Yingying?
They could also infer from the testimony that Tao Ya really bullied Zhou Yingying.Is everything really as she said in her testimony, so smart that she can't stop it?Had to take this approach to change everything?
People can't see her inner thoughts from the appearance of the matter and the testimony.
At that time, was she acting or was she feeling the pleasure of revenge from the bullying?
They cannot know the answer.
Gu Yanchen said: "I understand what you mean, even the video at night is not coherent, there are some traces of editing."
What is the real full video?What is the purpose of Tao Ya's editing?Is it because it involves privacy?Or is there not enough memory for segment recording?Or was it Tao Ya who said something that led Zhou Yingying to say those words?
"There's something wrong with what she said." Gu Yanchen said.
"Where?" Shen Jun asked.
Gu Yanchen said: "The number of thousand paper cranes does not exactly correspond to the date after death. I counted them myself before, and there are 352 thousand paper cranes in the bottle, and it has been 374 days since Zhou Yingying passed away."
I don’t know if the dozens of thousands of paper cranes missing were missed during the holidays, or they were put in other places for some reason. Maybe she didn’t buy the same paper during that time. Or Tao Ya just exaggerated and forgot some days.
It's not even a lie, it's just a small discrepancy in numbers that doesn't serve as proof or say anything.
But it's a little scary to think about.
Shen Junci frowned and thought about it.
There is a possibility that Tao Ya may just be a kind girl with a deep scheming heart, just like the story she told, for the sake of her best friend, she endured the humiliation and did everything in silence.
She wants to fulfill her best friend's last wish, so that everyone who deserves to be punished will be punished.
She made the world after Zhou Yingying's death a better place.
But there is another possibility in this case, although the possibility is very low, but he cannot deny that this possibility does exist.
The girl in front of me is really smart, she was completely blackened after being bullied.
After Sun Yushi fell into the water, she thought that she couldn't die so easily, so she rescued her.
While bullying Zhou Yingying, she pretended to say, I still regard you as a friend.I'm doing this for your own good.If I don't bully you, other people will bully you, and I will be rejected by them.
Knowing that Zhou Yingying was ill, she pretended to persuade her to see a doctor, while telling her that a person like her should die, and decided to use her death herself.
The hospital's records were not exhaustive, and no clear diagnosis was left.They even said that apart from digoxin prescription records, they couldn't confirm whether Zhou Yingying's heart disease was that serious.
The flesh and blood of the deceased were rotten, and they could only test for the presence of digoxin, but could not know the exact concentration, nor did they know whether Zhou Yingying had eaten it herself.
Tao Ya may have completely foreseen everything today, so she kept Zhou Yingying's video as evidence of exoneration.
She may be an absolute bad person. From the day she was bullied, she recorded everything, endured the humiliation, gritted her teeth and endured it, and finally retaliated with a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.
Since Sun Yushi fell into the lake, she has completely started to make a comeback. She calculated everything step by step. Zhou Yingying's situation and death were also a part of her strength.
She controlled everyone and evolved into a ferocious alpha wolf.
Thinking of the second possibility, Shen Junci felt chills on his back, and the hairs on his arms stood on end. He felt as if a pair of invisible hands were strangling his throat.
Gu Yanchen finally got up and said: "Closing the case, according to the relevant evidence and all the testimonies, it is impossible for us to know the whole truth. What really happened at that time, only Tao Ya knows. But we can at least make a choice, choose what we believe What."
Shen Junci asked: "Which one do you believe?"
Gu Yanchen said: "It's probably the story Tao Ya told. At least when Zhou Yingying recorded the video, she believed in this good friend."
Gu Yanchen had some other basis for his judgment.
After Zhou Yingying's death, Tao Ya did not bully the other female workers in turn, and the relationship in the dormitory was relatively harmonious.No matter what caused Sun Yushi's accidental fall into the lake, Tao Ya really rescued Sun Yushi from the frozen lake.In addition, they did not have any evidence to prove that the deaths of Tao Ya and Zhou Yingying were directly related.
If Tao Ya is really calculating to that extent, what is wrong with her, why does she have to be an ordinary female worker here?
Therefore, he is willing to believe that Tao Ya's nature is kind.
Thinking of this, he asked Shen Junci, "What about you?"
Shen Junci was silent for a moment, ruled out the previous inferences in his mind, and his delicate face gradually returned to its usual calmness: "I am the same, if this is not the truth, in this world, people's hearts are too complicated and too dark, it is inevitable It would be hopeless."
Compared with confessions and inferences, the police are more willing to believe in empirical evidence.
The confession of the deceased Zhou Yingying was in favor of Tao Ya.
The current empirical evidence is only the present, and the specific results need to be judged by the court.
They have done all their work.
Further analysis requires speculation, and excessive inference will mislead the prosecution.
There is a saying in the law: there is no doubt of crime.
It means that if there is no clear evidence, the determination will be biased towards innocence.Because people cannot prove what they did not do.
They don't let the bad guys go, and they don't want to wrong the good guys.
Everything will be recorded truthfully without prejudice.
As for the answer in their minds...
Sometimes, people have to convince themselves to believe something, so that people's beliefs can be stronger.
Shen Junci didn't know how to describe his mood, and he didn't know how to tell this story to others.
In the end he suppressed all his feelings in his heart.
The piles of files, the confessions one by one, will eventually be dusted and become one of the many cracked cases.
This case is ordinary, but not so ordinary.
At one o'clock in the morning, they were able to get off work, and when they walked down the steps of the criminal investigation building, Shen Junci suddenly said: "We were born in this world, it seems like
Gu Yanchen led Lu Ying and a police officer in charge of recording into Tao Ya's interrogation room.
The girl in front of her still lowered her head quietly. She was different from the other suspects Gu Yanchen had seen.
Those people were either arrogant, or fearful, or nervous, or proud.
But Tao Ya, she sat quietly, as if she had no human feelings at all.
She protects herself well.
Gu Yanchen said: "They have all confessed, and Sun Yushi also admitted the crime of killing Zhou Yingying. But I don't think this is the truth."
Tao Ya rolled her eyes and looked at him.
"The other girls said that you woke them up and let them stab Zhou Yingying's body with a knife. The forensic doctor found the ingredients of digoxin tablets in Zhou Yingying's body. In the whole dormitory, Only if it was ever prescribed on your medical card."
All kinds of clues point to this seemingly quiet and ordinary girl.
Faced with the questioning, Tao Ya's eyes moved, looking at the pile of documents on the table, she suddenly raised her hand up, and found a picture of a dead body from those photos.
The girl's eyes fell on the waxed corpse, and she sighed.Then she put down the photo, raised her head, and looked at Gu Yanchen: "I know, you will find out here."
Gu Yanchen pressed his hands on the table, leaned over and asked her, "Zhou Yingying, who killed her?"
"She died at the hands of everyone." Tao Ya finally spoke, her voice was hoarse, her tone was calm and deep.
Gu Yanchen asked, "What do you mean?"
Tao Ya pursed her lips slightly.
Gu Yanchen took out a stack of documents: "According to our investigation, Zhou Yingying used to be your good friend. What happened between you?"
Tao Ya pulled her hair and said, "Zhou Yingying and I are indeed good friends. Although I haven't been in the same class with her in the past, we have always had a good relationship. At that time we lived not far away, and we were both in chorus classes. Yes, we often do homework together, and I even thought that one day when I get married, she will be my bridesmaid, and if she gets married first, I will also be willing to stand by her side."
"I was the first to enter this factory. Before the official report, I asked a few good friends in my hometown. Zhou Yingying was immediately interested and wanted to enter, so I introduced her to the personnel of the factory. .”
"But, I think too simply."
Tao Ya's tone was a bit sad, but her eyes were dry without a trace of tears.
Her expression makes it difficult to judge whether she is remembering her best friend or exposing her crimes.
She seems to stand on a dividing line between black and white.
Even Gu Yanchen couldn't tell whether the girl in front of him was an innocent person or a brutal murderer.
He listened patiently to her.
"In the beginning, everything seemed to be fine. The life in the factory was very simple and there were not too many turmoil. It all started on the third day after Zhou Yingying joined the job. When we were working, we flew in from outside A black beetle, she yelled, shaking the bug away."
Tao Ya still remembers it clearly.
On that day, she had just joined the job, and the sun shone in from the window. Each of them was wearing a factory uniform, concentrating on the work in front of them.
The black beetle that flew in suddenly landed on Zhou Yingying's clothes.
She cried out loudly.
Then she flicked away the bug.
This scene suddenly happened in the quiet workshop. Zhou Yingying's cry broke the silence, and everyone looked up at her.
I don't know who it was, but the first one burst out laughing, and then the others laughed too. The laughter spread and spread, and everyone was laughing, except for her and Zhou Yingying.
The initial smile was just out of emotion, and she didn't realize that there was such a malicious intention at that time.
Until Sun Yushi's eyes fell on Zhou Yingying, the corners of her mouth were raised, as if she had found a new toy.
This is where all the misfortunes started.
Tao Ya finished her memories, she sighed and continued: "Since she was a child, Zhou Yingying was afraid of nothing but those bugs. Her cry was a bit exaggerated. Many female workers saw that scene, including Sun Yushi. She laughed at the time. and said to Zhou Yingying, 'You look like a dancing rhino. Why don't we call you a rhino.'”
"At that time, I saw my good friend being bullied, and I was angry. I just went back and said, 'How can you call others nicknames like this?'"
"I didn't expect that it was just this sentence that attracted Sun Yushi's crazy revenge. She hugged the girls from her hometown and tried every means to bully me. They even gave up teasing Zhou Yingying."
Gu Yanchen also heard about this matter from Han Ziai.
"They would deliberately wet my clothes that were hanging out to dry, and let me wear wet clothes to work in the workshop. They would throw my books on the ground, step on them a few times, and pretend that they saw them and returned them to me. The dormitory inspection, Asked not to plug in electrical appliances, they will deliberately take out my things and plug them in, and then let the housekeeper find out, causing me to be criticized. They will leave me alone in the workshop and will not help me cook. For example It happens almost every day."
Talking about all this, Tao Ya in front of her was calm.
Bullying a strong person is sometimes more fun than bullying a weak person.
Her haughty attitude made Sun Yushi want to humiliate her, like a pure white thing, someone will always want to dirty it.They want to drag her to the ground, get her in the mud, get trampled dirty, and bad guys get a sense of accomplishment.
"At that time, all the female workers in the workshop were afraid to approach me. Only Zhou Yingying, she felt that this situation was caused by her, and she hugged me and cried in a place where no one was around. Don't be nice to me in front of me, don't talk to me, otherwise, they will bully you together.'"
"From that day on, we started acting in front of other female workers." She lowered her head and looked at her hands, "I don't want to hurt her."
Gu Yanchen asked: "Is there anything to prove what you said?"
Tao Ya shook her head: "In order not to be suspected by others, we don't chat online." Then she remembered something and said, "We have a small secret base behind the factory. The framed open space is connected to the back of the factory. It is obvious that both inside and outside can come in, but people inside the factory will not go, and people outside will not come. There, we can talk freely, just like when we were children. "
"Since then, Zhou Yingying and I will go there to talk when others are not paying attention. Only there can we breathe freely."
Gu Yanchen frowned and listened, he realized that that place was where Zhou Yingying's body was buried.
"Although I was bullied miserably by Sun Yushi and the others, I still endured it. Until one winter we went out for group building..."
"All the people crowded by the lake, no one paid attention to it, only I saw it, the cold lake was under our feet. I was thinking at that time, if Sun Yushi died, everything would be solved. In the crowd , she fell into the lake."
"I looked at her, sinking bit by bit..."
Telling this story, Tao Ya's voice was calm, and she looked into the distance.
She seemed to have returned to the lake, looking at the endless water, and heard the screams of the female workers.
That annoying woman floated up and down, she might choke on water at any moment, and just submerged in the water and disappeared.
Her eyes were indifferent, looking down at her.
But at that time she didn't feel the pleasure of revenge.
Did Sun Yushi just let her die like this?
She felt like a butterfly wrapped in mucus in a silkworm chrysalis. If she couldn't break free, she would die in the chrysalis.
Her heart beat like a drum, ready to break through her chest at any moment.
It seemed that the person on the verge of life and death was not Sun Yushi, but herself.
Thoughts turn back and forth in an instant.
She finally made a decision.
No, you can't let her die like this!
She jumped into the lake, and at that moment, the cold water pierced her lungs like a sharp knife.
She's taking a gamble.
……
In the interrogation room, Tao Ya looked back at her hands.
She coughed lightly for a while and wiped the corners of her mouth.
Since the winter of that year, she has fallen to the root of the disease, sometimes waking up at night with a cough.She was afraid of waking up others, so she curled up on the bed and covered her mouth with the quilt until dawn.
Gu Yanchen knew that the girl's description was evasive, and she didn't explain in detail how Sun Yushi fell, but he still heard some clues.
At that time, Tao Ya should be on the verge of blackening.
She almost became a murderer.
He already knew the outcome of this matter, but he still listened without interrupting Tao Ya.
"I still couldn't watch her drown. I hesitated for a while, thinking that it was a human life after all. Then I jumped into the water and saved her. She had a conscience, and Sun Yushi finally stopped bullying me. But I did not expect that……"
Having said that, Tao Ya clenched her fists.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yanchen asked, "What happened next?"
"Later Sun Yushi accepted me, but turned to bully Han Ziai and Zhou Yingying."
Bullying is still there, it just has a different target.
"The bullying thing is like a snowball rolling down the mountain among these people. With inertia, it gets bigger and bigger, and everyone is adding to it. A lot of people have fun from it."
"Even if I stood around Sun Yushi, there was still no way to curb this kind of behavior. Sometimes, because of my dissuasion, the bullying would intensify. At that time, Zhou Yingying and I could only continue acting."
"When I was outside, I didn't talk to her, and I even started to take the lead in bullying her. If I did it, Sun Yushi and others would bully her less. During that time, almost every Friday night, Sun Yushi would bully her She called to the storage room downstairs, found reasons to punish her, made fun of her, and watched her make a fool of herself. The rest of them would also go to watch and make suggestions to laugh at Zhou Yingying."
"That's a group behavior. I found that that kind of behavior is related to Sun Yushi, but it's not entirely about her. Sun Yushi is the one in front, but none of the others are innocent."
"Sometimes, just because of a word or a thought of someone in the group, bullying occurs. Other people are vassals and trample over the weak."
"Anyone who puts forward an objection will be hostile by everyone, even Sun Yushi. If she does not do enough, she will not be able to convince the public, she will be complained by other people in the group, and everyone will unite against her. Those emotions Inspired by her, she will do even crazier things in order to maintain her status and personality."
"If you want to break through all this, the efforts of one or two people are too difficult to achieve. Everyone is an individual. They have some consistency and different characteristics. Unpredictable and elusive."
"I can see that Zhou Yingying began to haggard and become depressed after being tortured. She really wanted to escape here, but her family did not allow her to leave the factory. She became more and more painful and desperate, and I can't help her with anything."
"Her body began to feel unwell, and her heart beat very fast. She was afraid that her parents and people in the factory would know, so she borrowed my medical insurance card to go to the hospital for treatment. She got the news that her heart was deformed because of obesity. If she didn't After undergoing surgery, she may die from a heart attack at any time. The doctor prescribed digoxin tablets to temporarily relieve her symptoms."
Gu Yanchen asked: "About these, are there any inspection results?"
Tao Ya shook her head: "Zhou Yingying went there by herself. I didn't see any test results. The hospital is not very big, but it is relatively close to the factory. She said that the doctor wanted her to be hospitalized, but she refused and only took some The medicine is back."
Gu Yanchen also tried to get Bai Meng to find the doctor at that time before, but the hospital was not fully digitized, and the medical records were lost after a long time. Apart from confirming that the hospital had prescribed medicine, they did not get other information.
Hearing this, Lu Ying, who was also interrogating, had some doubts: "You don't mean to say that Zhou Yingying died of a heart attack, right?"
At this point in the investigation of the case, he was unwilling to believe in such a simple coincidence ending.
But this possibility corresponds to many details in their investigation.
Digoxin in the blood, heart attack, death.
Tao Ya raised her head and blinked her eyelashes lightly, "Please listen to me, things are not that simple."
She went on to tell the story.
"Zhou Yingying wanted to have an operation at first, but she knew that her family didn't have that much money, and if her illness was found out by the factory, she would be fired. The operation cost at least 20 yuan, and even if experts were invited, the success rate was only [-]%. out of ten."
"It happened on her 22nd lunar birthday. The custom in our hometown is to only celebrate the lunar calendar. It was only me and her in the secret base. I bought her a small piece of cake. In the end we only ordered one A candle, and when I lit it, I realized there was only a small distorted light, which is not auspicious for a birthday."
"Zhou Yingying finally faced up to the fact that she might die soon. She felt that her short life was so small and humble, her parents were still alive, and those coworkers who bullied others would still live well. There would be nothing in the world Change, except that she may be missing. We chatted, and we were angry at those people and things. At that time, we thought of a plan..."
Speaking of this, Tao Ya's eyes turned red, I don't know if it was because of sadness or hatred.
She spoke the truth: "We decided to take advantage of her death. Take revenge on those people."
Speaking of this, Tao Ya seemed to feel that she had returned to that dark storage room again.
Zhou Yingying lay on the ground without breathing or heartbeat.
Sun Yushi collapsed not far away, broke down and cried because of a missed murder, and the other girl was also completely at a loss.
Facing her friend's corpse at that time, she took a deep breath and stood up: "Calm down, Sun Yushi, you must calm down. I have a way to change everything. No one will know that you killed someone."
Sun Yushi stopped crying, raised her head and looked at her blankly.
She said, "We can call other people down and make them think that we killed Zhou Yingying."
As she said this, her body trembled, her voice seemed not to be her own.
This was a plan she had made long ago.
Zhou Yingying's death seemed to be a turning point.
Everything will change from this.
In the interrogation room, Tao Ya admitted: "I took advantage of her death and her corpse. I gave Sun Yushi an idea. In order to make her believe me, I stabbed the corpse first, and then I Tell the other girls to go downstairs."
After saying this, Tao Ya looked up at the policemen.
She tells a completely different story.
The whole thing became Rashomon-like.
In the observation room, everyone was silent.
From Tao Ya's expression, Bai Meng couldn't tell whether it was true or a lie she fabricated.
But she recalled what Sun Yushi said, she remembered Sun Yushi said that only that night, when Zhou Yingying resisted her like crazy, they wrestled together.
Gu Yanchen said: "What can prove these things you said?"
Tao Ya said, "I have a video."
She paused and said, "It was a video recorded by Zhou Yingying during her lifetime. The original copy was lost with my old mobile phone, but there is an edited video. I added a password and put it in the cloud. If you give me the mobile phone, I can Find it and show it to you. Prove that I'm telling the truth."
Bai Meng hurriedly got up and went to get Tao Ya's mobile phone. She connected the mobile phone to the computer in the police observation room and made a simple screen projection.
Through a layer of evidence bag, Tao Ya operated an old-fashioned mobile phone. She entered from a program, entered several layers of passwords, entered a cloud space, and then decoded and opened it.
As soon as the folder was opened, everyone looked at the screen.
The first thing you see is the photo inside.
There are a lot of those photos, twelve in total.
It was a group photo of the female worker and the corpse.
Each female worker held a knife in her hand and stabbed the back of Zhou Yingying's dead body.
The wounds on his back gradually increased from one to the other.
In the dark storage room, the girls were pale and had different expressions, some were numb, some were in pain, some were crying, and some were frightened.
It was these photos that changed their lives forever.
Tao Ya said: "I also recorded the video of Zhou Yingying and Sun Yushi fighting, and it's all in there."
Finally, she clicked on the longest video.
A plump, ordinary-looking young girl appeared on the screen.
Everyone recognized at a glance that she was Zhou Yingying, the deceased in this case.
Just before, Shen Junci had seen her photos and her body, but now he saw her image, which gave people a feeling of unreality.
The background of the video is dark, and there is no light to be seen, only a small candle is lit in front of Zhou Yingying, reflecting her face.
Tao Ya's voice came from outside: "Say something, after all, it's my 22nd birthday."
Zhou Yingying paused: "What should I say?"
She looked at the camera and paused for a few seconds before speaking: "I have been a fat person since I was a child. I am very ordinary, I am not good-looking, my academic performance is not good, my family has no money, and my parents often scold me. I can feel it. I realized that they don’t love me. My brother also looked down on me. In school, I was mediocre. I never had a relationship. loved."
"I'm timid and cowardly. For the past twenty years of my life, I've been acting on the eyes of others."
"I used to think that when I became an adult, I could have my own life and everything would be beautiful, but when I grew up, I found that it was not the case. Once I was 20 years old, my parents regarded me as a cat. Mature pigs waiting to be slaughtered, if it wasn’t for this factory with a good salary, I would have been forced to marry a long time ago.”
"And Sun Yushi, and those fellow workers, are bullying me again and again."
"I feel that I am in purgatory, and this hell is imposed on me by the people around me, whether it is passers-by, parents, relatives, colleagues, leaders... because I am fat, because I am ugly, because I am I can’t do what they want, because I look like a bully, everyone is human, but I have become the object of their bullying and venting. No one has ever considered my feelings.”
Tao Ya enlightened her from the side: "It's not exactly what you said. You see, I have also experienced these things, but I have survived. Everything will be better. If there is no future, then it is real, there is nothing. So I still hope that you can survive. You should tell your family about your illness and go to a better hospital."
"But not everyone can be as strong as you. At least I don't have your courage, I'm not as smart as you, and I'm not as lucky as you. I'm just an ordinary person."
Zhou Yingying continued: "I once thought about running away, going to a place where no one knew me, and living alone. But later, I found that I couldn't go very far, I had no money, and my documents were pressed in the factory. My parents stare at me so much... Even if I leave, what can I do? When I go to a new place, people will still call me like a pig and say that I can't do anything. What's more, I'm sick now, and I'm about to die... ..."
When the video is put here, the screen goes black, and then lights up after a while.
This time, Zhou Yingying looked at the phone camera, her eyes seemed to penetrate the screen.
"In the past, I was a timid and cowardly person. Now I want to change all this before I die. Tonight, I will call and talk to my parents. Sun Yushi will probably call me again. I Will try, resist her."
"If my parents stop scolding me and forcing me, I will tell them about my illness and work with them to find a solution. If Sun Yushi doesn't bully me tonight and she lets me go, I will Go to a big hospital by yourself, do a detailed examination, and find a way to see a doctor.”
When she said this, she choked up a bit, and even the police officers in front of the screen felt the girl's despair.
Zhou Yingying wiped her eyes: "If I fight hard tonight and there is no result, if they still treat me like before. Then I hope...I hope...they can be punished and pay the price..."
Speaking of this, she looked at Tao Ya: "Tao Ya, will you help me do it?"
"I will. We will be good best friends for a lifetime. The kind that will never betray each other." Tao Ya's voice came: "If, I mean, if, if it really comes to that point, you will hope that you will be betrayed. Where is it buried?"
Zhou Yingying pointed to her feet: "Just here. Only here, I am free, happy, and I belong to myself."
"I don't even want someone to find my body, so that I can sleep here peacefully. Someone will blame my family, my parents, for my disappearance, saying that they are patriarchal and forced their own children away. daughter."
"Sun Yushi will become a murderer because of my death. She will always be afraid and fearful. Others will also have a thorn in their hearts because of my death. They can no longer be as peaceful as before. to bully others.”
"The people I couldn't resist while I was alive will be punished after I die. They will dream of me in their dreams. Then wake up, and I will be their eternal nightmare, lingering."
Zhou Yingying faced the camera and smiled.
This is like her small and mediocre final declaration of war against the world.
If she is defeated, she will use her life as a bargaining chip, put it on the scale, and move everything.
A last-ditch effort like a moth to a flame.
After the video screen goes black again, it then lights up again.
"If one day, I mean, if the police find my body, you can show them this video. Prove that all my actions are my own will, my own choice, and have nothing to do with you. "
Tao Ya said, "Let's eat cake."
Zhou Yingying said: "Then let me make a wish, I don't want to die, I want to live, I love this world so much."
She blew out the candles on the cake, and all was plunged into darkness.
The video stopped and everyone fell silent.
This video was recorded a year ago, and now they have seen all the endings.
Zhou Yingying was already dead, she seemed to have been killed by those people, and also by this world.
Gu Yanchen's expression was dignified and serious.
Seeing this, Bai Meng took out a tissue and sobbed softly.
Shen Junci didn't know if Zhou Yingying's parents hadn't yelled at her that day and quarreled fiercely.If Sun Yushi hadn't bullied and humiliated her as usual, the result would have been different.
But no if.
That kind and ordinary girl died on the night she was 22 years old.
Tao Yadao: "From that day on, I carried the oath to Zhou Yingying on my shoulders, and carried out the plan. When Sun Yushi was at a loss, I came up with the idea to let each girl be judged by morality. I maintained the balance of the dormitory, You should know what happened after that."
Zhou Yingying's parents were blamed by everyone.
Sun Yushi began to act with her tail between her legs.
The bullying in the bedroom has since disappeared.
Zhou Yingying couldn't save herself, but everything seemed to be better because of her death.
Others are hell.
She turned herself into a fire and tore a rift in hell.
It's a pity that she herself will never see all this again.
Tao Yadao: "After Zhou Yingying's death, I started to make a thousand paper cranes, one every day, and it has been a year now. The thousand paper cranes are my thoughts for my friends. I hope that the little paper cranes can be passed on. Belief, if there really is a world after death, then Zhou Yingying will know and feel gratified for everything today."
At this point in the case, it seems that the truth has finally come to light.
At night, Bai Meng packed up all the files, she wiped away her tears, and woke up from the emotion and empathy.
Others got up one after another and continued to work.
Shen Junci looked at Gu Yanchen who was on the side, his expression was not relieved after solving the case.
Forensic Shen thought for a moment, and suddenly understood.
Although he also deduced this possibility before listening to Tao Ya's confession, there were still some things wrong.
Now that Tao Ya said so and showed the video, he suspects that this is still not the truth.
Shen Junci asked Gu Yanchen: "Should we believe Tao Ya's testimony? Although I have the video of Zhou Yingying, I discovered one thing, that is, in the story told by Tao Ya, many things happened in the secret base Including the fact that they agreed to hide their underground friendship from each other. Apart from this video, Tao Ya’s testimony has no other evidence to prove all of that.”
After all, everything happened after the nickname incident.
At that time, Tao Ya helped Zhou Yingying stand out, but the cowardly Zhou Yingying hid behind Tao Ya, and even watched Tao Ya being bullied.
Could it be that at that time, there was a rift in their friendship, and Tao Ya was disappointed with her friend, and had the idea of revenge on Zhou Yingying?
Otherwise, it doesn't make sense. After Tao Ya's relationship with Sun Yushi has eased, why did other people suddenly start targeting Han Ziai and Zhou Yingying, who are from her hometown?Did Tao Ya contribute to this?
Unpredictable people.
Human nature is also elusive.
Is there a possibility that Tao Ya is trying to provoke Zhou Yingying on both sides and playing a good person in front of Zhou Yingying?
They could also infer from the testimony that Tao Ya really bullied Zhou Yingying.Is everything really as she said in her testimony, so smart that she can't stop it?Had to take this approach to change everything?
People can't see her inner thoughts from the appearance of the matter and the testimony.
At that time, was she acting or was she feeling the pleasure of revenge from the bullying?
They cannot know the answer.
Gu Yanchen said: "I understand what you mean, even the video at night is not coherent, there are some traces of editing."
What is the real full video?What is the purpose of Tao Ya's editing?Is it because it involves privacy?Or is there not enough memory for segment recording?Or was it Tao Ya who said something that led Zhou Yingying to say those words?
"There's something wrong with what she said." Gu Yanchen said.
"Where?" Shen Jun asked.
Gu Yanchen said: "The number of thousand paper cranes does not exactly correspond to the date after death. I counted them myself before, and there are 352 thousand paper cranes in the bottle, and it has been 374 days since Zhou Yingying passed away."
I don’t know if the dozens of thousands of paper cranes missing were missed during the holidays, or they were put in other places for some reason. Maybe she didn’t buy the same paper during that time. Or Tao Ya just exaggerated and forgot some days.
It's not even a lie, it's just a small discrepancy in numbers that doesn't serve as proof or say anything.
But it's a little scary to think about.
Shen Junci frowned and thought about it.
There is a possibility that Tao Ya may just be a kind girl with a deep scheming heart, just like the story she told, for the sake of her best friend, she endured the humiliation and did everything in silence.
She wants to fulfill her best friend's last wish, so that everyone who deserves to be punished will be punished.
She made the world after Zhou Yingying's death a better place.
But there is another possibility in this case, although the possibility is very low, but he cannot deny that this possibility does exist.
The girl in front of me is really smart, she was completely blackened after being bullied.
After Sun Yushi fell into the water, she thought that she couldn't die so easily, so she rescued her.
While bullying Zhou Yingying, she pretended to say, I still regard you as a friend.I'm doing this for your own good.If I don't bully you, other people will bully you, and I will be rejected by them.
Knowing that Zhou Yingying was ill, she pretended to persuade her to see a doctor, while telling her that a person like her should die, and decided to use her death herself.
The hospital's records were not exhaustive, and no clear diagnosis was left.They even said that apart from digoxin prescription records, they couldn't confirm whether Zhou Yingying's heart disease was that serious.
The flesh and blood of the deceased were rotten, and they could only test for the presence of digoxin, but could not know the exact concentration, nor did they know whether Zhou Yingying had eaten it herself.
Tao Ya may have completely foreseen everything today, so she kept Zhou Yingying's video as evidence of exoneration.
She may be an absolute bad person. From the day she was bullied, she recorded everything, endured the humiliation, gritted her teeth and endured it, and finally retaliated with a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.
Since Sun Yushi fell into the lake, she has completely started to make a comeback. She calculated everything step by step. Zhou Yingying's situation and death were also a part of her strength.
She controlled everyone and evolved into a ferocious alpha wolf.
Thinking of the second possibility, Shen Junci felt chills on his back, and the hairs on his arms stood on end. He felt as if a pair of invisible hands were strangling his throat.
Gu Yanchen finally got up and said: "Closing the case, according to the relevant evidence and all the testimonies, it is impossible for us to know the whole truth. What really happened at that time, only Tao Ya knows. But we can at least make a choice, choose what we believe What."
Shen Junci asked: "Which one do you believe?"
Gu Yanchen said: "It's probably the story Tao Ya told. At least when Zhou Yingying recorded the video, she believed in this good friend."
Gu Yanchen had some other basis for his judgment.
After Zhou Yingying's death, Tao Ya did not bully the other female workers in turn, and the relationship in the dormitory was relatively harmonious.No matter what caused Sun Yushi's accidental fall into the lake, Tao Ya really rescued Sun Yushi from the frozen lake.In addition, they did not have any evidence to prove that the deaths of Tao Ya and Zhou Yingying were directly related.
If Tao Ya is really calculating to that extent, what is wrong with her, why does she have to be an ordinary female worker here?
Therefore, he is willing to believe that Tao Ya's nature is kind.
Thinking of this, he asked Shen Junci, "What about you?"
Shen Junci was silent for a moment, ruled out the previous inferences in his mind, and his delicate face gradually returned to its usual calmness: "I am the same, if this is not the truth, in this world, people's hearts are too complicated and too dark, it is inevitable It would be hopeless."
Compared with confessions and inferences, the police are more willing to believe in empirical evidence.
The confession of the deceased Zhou Yingying was in favor of Tao Ya.
The current empirical evidence is only the present, and the specific results need to be judged by the court.
They have done all their work.
Further analysis requires speculation, and excessive inference will mislead the prosecution.
There is a saying in the law: there is no doubt of crime.
It means that if there is no clear evidence, the determination will be biased towards innocence.Because people cannot prove what they did not do.
They don't let the bad guys go, and they don't want to wrong the good guys.
Everything will be recorded truthfully without prejudice.
As for the answer in their minds...
Sometimes, people have to convince themselves to believe something, so that people's beliefs can be stronger.
Shen Junci didn't know how to describe his mood, and he didn't know how to tell this story to others.
In the end he suppressed all his feelings in his heart.
The piles of files, the confessions one by one, will eventually be dusted and become one of the many cracked cases.
This case is ordinary, but not so ordinary.
At one o'clock in the morning, they were able to get off work, and when they walked down the steps of the criminal investigation building, Shen Junci suddenly said: "We were born in this world, it seems like
