Tiger Police

Chapter 266 Life
Nahan Muxiang's eyes straightened.

She never dreamed that Hu Pingtao would easily see through her carefully planned plan.

Hu Pingtao continued to strengthen his psychological offensive: "Do you know why you were brought back here? If you were left in Mengsuo village, just make public what I just said, and you would be beaten to death by Zhao Hannan's family."

After a pause, he continued: "You are a local, you should know that I am not lying, nor is it intentional to intimidate."

Nahan Muxiang lowered his head, bit his lips tightly, blood oozing out.

Hu Pingtao raised his voice slightly: "Every murderer has his own reasons. Whether it is out of hatred or for other reasons. But no matter what, this has violated the law. Please note that it is a crime, not a crime. Illegal."

"I know you once liked Zhao Hannan, but that was in the past, not the present. So at the beginning I said, "Leniency is lenient for confession, strictness for resistance". Not all criminals are bad people, and there is no absolute in the true sense. Bad guys. You have to believe in the fairness of the law, and believe that as long as you open your heart and explain the problem seriously, we can help you."

Nahan Muxiang raised her head, with an elusive expression on her beautiful face: "...you can't help me, and no one can help me."

Hu Pingtao smiled faintly: "How do you know if you don't try? Well... since you have such an attitude, I might as well tell you something more."

Nahan Muxiang stared at him. For some reason, she suddenly felt that this young policeman could see through her inner world.

"Dao Yong killed Yan Hanguang and Yan Zai. Zhao Hannan ordered him to do it behind his back." Hu Pingtao spoke slowly and clearly.He has been paying attention to Nahemxiang's emotional changes.

Sure enough, Nahan Muxiang's expression changed suddenly, and he screamed: "You... how do you know?"

"I'm a policeman." Hu Pingtao seized the opportunity, straightened his upper body, and said in a dignified tone: "It is our duty to find out the truth and never let a bad guy go."

Nahan Muxiang twisted her hands together, her right thumb pinched her left hand fiercely, and she was making a difficult decision in her heart: "...Can you really help me?"

Hu Pingtao replied seriously: "It depends on your attitude."

Nahemxiang asked hesitantly, "How many years will I be sentenced to in my situation?"

"It still depends on your attitude." Hu Pingtao said: "Self-surrender and leniency are conditional. If you still take chances and deliberately mislead or conceal the facts, wait until the case is clarified and you will be punished for several crimes. No one can help you. If there is no term, there will be no term, and maybe the death penalty will be imposed directly."

Nahemxiang was completely desperate.She shouted desperately: "I don't want to die, I want to make meritorious service and atone for my crime."

Hu Pingtao took a sip from his teacup, then put it down: "Then let's talk!"

……

"I'm a local, and I grew up in Mengsuo Village. Zhao Hannan, Yan Hanguang, Yan Zai, and Dao Yong were all friends. Zhao Hannan was four years older than me. He was a villager at that time. the king of children."

"It's not like a city here, especially girls. When they reach a certain age, they either help the family with work or get married early. Boys are different. If the family can afford offerings, they can go to Buddhist temples to go to school. When they grow up There is still a chance to become a great Buddha."

"Both Zhao Hannan and Yan Hanguang went to Buddhist temples to become monks. Everyone is very envious. Especially Yan Zai and Dao Yong, they always touch the cassocks on Zhao Hannan and Yan Hanguang enviously whenever they have the opportunity, just like Almost kneel down and kowtow."

The atmosphere in the interrogation room was not as tense as before. Nahemxiang let go of his thoughts, and it was more like a casual conversation.She looked at Hu Pingtao, and suddenly all the worries she had before were gone, and the heaviness in her heart was completely let go.

This is probably the feeling of walking from the shadow of crime to the sunshine!
"I don't know if you can understand what I'm saying." Nahan Muxiang's voice hesitated: "Our customs here...Because they believe in religion, they have a special kind of worship for the Great Buddha. They have high morals and prestige, and they usually do everything. There is no need to do it, people in the village will send offerings regularly. From food to useful things, everything is available.”

Hu Pingtao showed a gentle smile: "I understand, I understand. So Zhao Hannan and Yan Hanguang have a special status among you, especially Zhao Hannan. After all, his ancestors were nobles."

Nahan Muxiang suddenly lowered his head, and his voice became very soft. Hu Pingtao and the recorder needed a lot of effort to hear clearly.

"...I like Zhao Hannan, and I have liked him since I was very young. It seems that I was five or six years old, and I have liked him since then. This kind of liking cannot be called love, it is more of worship and respect .”

"Women are not allowed to enter Buddhist temples. They can only kneel and worship outside the big temple. I remember very clearly that Zhao Hannan sat on the right side of the Buddhist hall every time he chanted sutras. He was very serious and serious. The adults all say that he is the most promising young man in Mengsuo Village, and he will definitely become a great Buddha in the future."

"According to our rules, women have to suffer for a lifetime. Especially after marriage, women do all kinds of housework, whether it is farming in the fields or cutting firewood in the mountains. My grandma is like this, and later it was my mother's turn. But my dad is different from other men, he will take the initiative to help my mother do the work in the field, and usually cook at home... Many people in the village say that my dad is a man who is afraid of his wife. Every time he listens They just smiled and never cared."

"When I was seven years old, a school was set up in the town. I heard that the tuition fees were free and there were teachers who spoke Chinese. At that time, people were sent to the village to inform all the children to go to school, but no one responded. The reason is that everyone is used to sending boys to be young novice monks, and girls will work with the family as long as they are a little older... I know you Han people have a saying that "boys are preferred to girls", and we are similar here. "

"I'm still young and I don't understand anything. My dad knew a few people in the town. After careful inquiry, he decided to send me to study."

"At that time, Zhao Hannan and I were already on good terms..." Having said this, Nahan Muxiang blushed, and she quickly defended: "It's not the kind of "good" between boyfriend and girlfriend, just ordinary friends... ..."

She was a little anxious and felt that the words she said were inappropriate, but she couldn't find better words to describe them for a while, so she quickly raised her handcuffed hands and gestured in the air: "It's really just ordinary friends, at most The kind of hands-on."

Hu Pingtao smiled and nodded: "I understand. Children who are six or seven years old can't talk about the so-called relationship, but just a kind of ignorant liking, which is a little more friendly than the normal range."

Nahemxiang nodded again and again: "Yes, that's it."

Seeing her urgent expression, Hu Pingtao suddenly felt moved, and asked: "Is Zhao Hannan not the only one who likes you?"

This question was unexpected. Nahan Muxiang was completely unprepared, and subconsciously said "um", and then realized that he had missed the point, but it was too late to speak.The expression on her face was a little unnatural, and she asked, "How do you know?"

Hu Pingtao said: "We Han people have a saying called "Eighteen Changes of Women's University". Although I haven't seen your photos when you were a child, and I don't know what you looked like at that time, but according to what you just said, you still have Judging by your current appearance, you should have been beautiful when you were young."

Nahemxiang didn't respond.Her expression is very complicated, some are happy, some are sad, some are proud, and some are self-deprecating.

After a long time, she slowly opened her lips: "You are right. Except for Zhao Hannan, many boys of the same age in the village like me. We were enlightened earlier in this aspect, and we can let it go. But after all, it is between children. The "liking" between people is not like that of adults... To be honest, we were playing together at the time, and we had the concept of "who is with whom", but we couldn't kiss or hug, just felt like we liked each other. People who are together are happy, that’s all.”

Hu Pingtao stared at her: "I understand."

Nahan Muxiang continued: "It's funny when I think about it now. At that time, I was the only one in the village who went to the town to study. Almost everyone in the village said that my father was mentally ill, and that one more person working at home could earn more money. What's more, I'm a girl. Zhao Hannan also thinks so, he thinks that my going to school is purely a waste of time. Yan Hanguang and the others are also, and then they simply made an appointment with Yan Zai and Dao Yong, saying that they would not play with me in the future."

"Later, we grew up."

"I went to junior high school, and three years later I was admitted to a high school in the county."

"Zhao Hannan and Yan Hanguang did not continue their practice and left the Buddhist temple to return home. Zhao Hannan followed his parents to do farm work, and the same was true for Yan Hanguang, Yan Zai and Dao Yong."

"Yanzai is a scheming man. He knows some people from outside, and he traveled abroad a few times with him for smuggling. He transported motorcycle parts from the other side of the mountain and assembled them himself, and then sold them at a high price."

"After entering high school, Zhao Hannan got closer to me."

"I live on campus and go to school. Every weekend, he will wait for me at the entrance of the village. In the evening, he invites me to his house for dinner."

Hu Pingtao lit a cigarette and asked with great interest: "Have you already confirmed your relationship at that time?"

Nahemxiang nodded, then shook his head again: "That's right! In fact, even I don't know whether I like him or not."

Hu Pingtao gave her a puzzled look: "Why? Didn't you guys play together since childhood?"

Nahan Muxiang’s words were mixed with sarcasm: “If I had stayed in Mengsuo and not gone to the town to study, I would have married Zhao Hannan and become his wife. Every day, I would lead the cows and carry the children to the field. Work until the afternoon, and go home to cook for him at night. Day after day, live like this for the rest of your life.”

"As for him, he doesn't have to do anything. He doesn't get up until the sun comes out in the morning. After eating the breakfast I put in the pot and warming it with hot water, he wanders around outside with a hookah and doesn't come home until evening."

"All of this seemed normal to my grandparents and my parents. He was a man after all."

"My grades in school were not very good. I only got more than 400 points in the senior high school entrance examination, and I barely got into the county middle school. When I was in the village, I didn't understand anything. Only when I went to junior high school and high school did I know that there is a Big world."

"In the second year of junior high school, just in time for the Olympic Games. During the physical education class, the teacher took us to watch the broadcast in the electronic classroom. Running, high jump, long jump, skating, fencing, and various sports... I suddenly I found that Mengsuo Village is too small, and the people here don’t have any discernment at all. In their view, the Great Buddha is the sky, and there is no taller or bigger building than the Buddhist temple.”

"When I went to high school, what I saw and heard was even more different. I never thought about going to university, because my foundation is too poor, and Chinese teaching is still very difficult for me. I want to go out to work, and I don’t want to go back to be like my parents, facing the loess and back to the sky, and it will be like that for the rest of my life.”

"Many boys in my class like me because I am pretty. I know this is my advantage, and I am willing to associate with them... Don't get me wrong, they are ordinary friends, but I have more ideas and think they have good academic performance. He will definitely have a better future than me in the future, so take advantage of the present to foster relationships."

Hu Pingtao nodded slightly with understanding: "So you have changed your previous view on Zhao Hannan."

Nahan Muxiang looked gloomy: "He can recite Buddhist scriptures and knows a lot of knowledge taught by the Great Buddha. But these are not tested in the college entrance examination, and the outside world is not interested in them. I am not a devout Christian, and it is said in the textbooks that men and women Equality. There are two paths in front of me: either marry him, work hard forever, and be his slave forever; or leave Mengsuo village and go to the outside world."

"The result of the college entrance examination was as I imagined, I failed."

"I told Zhao Hannan that I want to leave Mengsuo and go to work outside."

"He didn't want to, and he didn't allow me to go... We had a fight over this matter."

"He found me the next day and said that he had thought about it carefully and thought I was right. He was very sincere at the time, and I thought he had figured it out, so I followed him to his house for dinner. Everyone in his family went out, Because we are already very familiar with each other, I didn't care when I was drinking, and I was drunk by him. Later... everything that should happen happened. "

"Although it's the first time, I don't care much about this kind of thing. I have long thought that I belong to him and should marry him, but I don't want to be his vassal, staying at home every day and living like a puppet. "

"But I never expected Zhao Hannan to threaten me with this matter. He approached my parents and proposed to get married, and even publicized the fact that I was ruined by him in the village... I want to make a special explanation, In the eyes of the people in the village, this kind of thing has nothing to do with morality, but it means that the relationship between a man and a woman in the past has become an unmarried couple. As long as the parents of both parties agree to hold a banquet in the village, there is no need to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate. It is a legal and recognized husband and wife."

"That's what Zhao Hannan came up with. He wants to cook raw rice."
