Rebirth of Everyday Life In the 1970s

Twenty-seven years ago, in Bai Town, Dongxian County, there was a poisonous murder case, and it was Luo Sizhong, the father of Luo Youheng who had just transferred to the police station and the uncle of Luo Minxin, who was in charge of this case.

Luo Sizhong arrived at the scene of the crime at noon. It was the village chief of Hejia Village who reported the incident. It was a family named Zhao in Hejia Village.

The eight members of the Zhao family, including the elder Zhao, the elder of the Zhao family of three, and the unmarried Zhao family’s second child, were all killed. Only the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, Zhao Xiaolan, and her four-year-old twin daughters were safe and sound. .

Zhao Xiaolan naturally became the first suspect.

However, Zhao Xiaolan was dumb and illiterate, and the interrogation work was once deadlocked.

At the suggestion of his colleagues, Luo Sizhong began to visit the villagers in Hejia Village, and pieced together the Zhao family's past from them bit by bit.

The old lady Zhao has been married to the Zhao family for more than 20 years, and gave birth to seven children, and only three survived.

Zhao Xiaolan was born in the second year after the old lady Zhao married to the Zhao family, and her first child. Because she is not a leader, plus she is a dumb man, her in-laws dislike her, her husband hates her, and her elder sister is a joke. Old lady Zhao has no confidence, so she is naturally aggrieved.

Of course, she spread part of her grievances on Zhao Xiaolan.

It wasn't until a few years later that Mrs. Zhao hugged them for three years, and the eldest and second child of the Zhao family fell to the ground one after another. The old lady Zhao straightened her back and the situation improved slightly.

It's just that when she looked back at Zhao Xiaolan, she still looked at how Yingying was.

In the traditional thinking of the Chinese people, they pay attention to many children and more blessings. Here in the countryside, it is no exception, so it causes the phenomenon of poorer and poorer one, and the more poorer one is, the more one must be born.

In addition to the over ten years of the Great Patriotic War, the land in the Central Plains was turbulent, the people were not living, and the poor couldn't get rid of the pot. Most of the Zhao family starved to death, and those who barely survived have gradually reached the age when they should be married.

But the Zhao family has no money.

After dying her parents-in-law, the old lady Zhao, who was finally able to be the master of the house, turned her eyes, and simply married Zhao Xiaolan, who had never been seen by her, to a sick seedling in the next village, in exchange for a fairly generous gift money. The Zhao family eldest married his wife lively.

Within a few years, the sick young child could not afford to be sick and died. The sick uncle was greedy for his family's wealth. Just after the first seven, they brought someone to the door and drove Zhao Xiaolan out.

Zhao Xiaolan had no choice but to take a pair of twin daughters back to her family's home.

And the second child of the Zhao family is just at the age of marrying a wife.

The two brothers of the Zhao family repeatedly hinted, and the old lady Zhao became hot, and she started to sell Zhao Xiaolan for a betrothal gift.

The person I found this time was not as good as the diseased child last time. He was an old widower in his fifties, who was older than Mrs. Zhao.

Old lady Zhao was very satisfied, after all, Zhao Xiaolan's conditions were there. On the contrary, she can still grab the old widower's age and ask for more money.

As for the two twin daughters of Zhao Xiaolan, the old widower would definitely not want them. The Zhao family did not want to raise two mouths for nothing. The old lady Zhao asked someone to find two families in the next village, and planned to send them off when Zhao Xiaolan got married. I used to be a child bride. Why not get a few catties of grain in exchange.

After Zhao Xiaolan knew about this, she knelt down in front of the old lady Zhao in front of many people in the village and begged, but in the end she couldn't muster the courage to take her two daughters out of Zhao's house.

Think about it, too, she is a dumb, with two daughters under the age of four, leaving the Zhao family, the end may not be better than this.

The poisoning case happened on the fourth day after this incident.

According to the villagers of Hejia Village, the old widower will come over tomorrow to pick Zhao Xiaolan back.

When he got here, Luo Sizhong felt that the ins and outs of the case were already clear.

Zhao Xiaolan resented what the old lady Zhao and her two younger brothers had done. The imminent arrival of the old widower became the last straw that overwhelmed her sanity, so she chose to poison the old lady Zhao and the two brothers of the Zhao family.

The safety of her and her two daughters is the best proof.

Luo Sizhong breathed a sigh of relief when the case came to the bottom.

He didn't sympathize with Zhao Xiaolan. Even if Zhao Xiaolan was pitiful, she was also the murderer in the poisonous murder that killed five people.

This is probably what the saying goes, poor people must be hateful!

In the early days of China's establishment, the legal system was not yet perfect. Especially in rural areas, where there is no court, it is normal for the Public Security Bureau to exercise judicial power on its behalf.

In the case of the Public Security Bureau, it has always used the law to use the law, but not the law to use the policy, and when there is no policy or law, it uses the socialist legal consciousness.

Therefore, when Luo Sizhong, a public security officer, subjectively determined that Zhao Xiaolan was the murderer, no matter how much Zhao Xiaolan made trouble, it was of no avail.

In the end, Zhao Xiaolan was sentenced to death and was shot within a few days.

This is the first case that Luo Sizhong has done after he changed jobs, and it is of great significance.

Luo Youheng remembers that, six or five years ago, during the New Year's Day, Luo Sizhong could not help but talk about this case. One is to cherish the memory of the past, and the other is to educate the juniors.

But six or five years later, Luo Sizhong never mentioned this matter again.

In this regard, Luo Youheng had also taken the initiative to tease Luo Sizhong, but the strong reaction from the other party made him feel embarrassed. Although he knew that something bad had happened in this, out of awe of Luo Sizhong, he could only suppress the doubts in his heart and never mention the case again.

Until around June this year, Luo Sizhong, who had always been physically tough, suddenly became seriously ill.

Luo Youheng learned the truth of the poisoning and murder case from Luo Sizhong's mouth.

At the end of 1963, the Yang City Public Security Bureau uncovered a serial theft and murder. During the interrogation, the two murderers truthfully accounted for all the major crimes they had committed in the past ten years, including the poisoning in Bai Town, Dong County. Homicide.

Twenty-seven years ago, the two murderers passed through Hejia Village on the pretext of finding their relatives. It was dark and it was difficult to drive. So they knocked on the door of Zhao's family courtyard, hoping that the Zhao family could take them in for one night and promised some money.

Seeing the money opened, the old lady Zhao immediately opened the courtyard door and let them into the house.

At dinner, the two murderers enthusiastically contributed the "dry food" they brought with them, a piece of bacon mixed with rat poison.

The old lady Zhao smiled from ear to ear, and immediately greeted her eldest daughter-in-law to fry a plate of bacon.

The bacon came to the table. At first, the Zhao family looked at their faces and made a few polite remarks. Later, when they saw the two murderers were really enthusiastic, they were not polite at the moment and started to eat and chew.

The two murderers could not help but let out a sigh of relief.

Until the corner of their eyes saw the two little girls who were shrouded in the shadows, staring at the Zhao family and swallowing their saliva.

Paying attention to their gazes, Old Lady Zhao looked disgusted and shouted Zhao Xiaolan's name, asking her to take her two daughters back to the room, and don't come out to obstruct the eyes of the guests.

The two murderers were frightened, and never expected that there was still someone in the Zhao family who hadn't been on the table.

They didn’t know that Zhao Xiaolan was a dumb man, they only knew that the effect of the medicine was almost on the verge of onset, but at this time there was such a big problem, they could not guarantee that they would be able to subdue the three Zhao Xiaolan’s mother and daughter in the first place. Mistakes, the consequences will be disastrous.

One of the murderers immediately stood up, trying to pull Zhao Xiaolan's mother and daughter to the table, but was stopped by Old Lady Zhao involuntarily.

The two murderers looked at each other, seeing that the plan was about to fail, and decisively went to the bathroom with a decisive excuse and quickly left Zhao's house.

Later, under Luo Sizhong's mistake, Zhao Xiaolan became a scapegoat and died miserably.

After the truth of the case became known, Luo Sizhong was at a loss for a while, and it was his capable subordinate who made a decisive decision to help him suppress the matter.

Luo Sizhong acquiesced in his approach.

Isn't he guilty?

He is also guilty.

Especially after learning that after Zhao Xiaolan's death, her two twin daughters were sent back to her husband's house by the mayor of Hejia Village, they were finally starved to death due to no one in charge.

But it's just that.

In Luo Sizhong's view, things have developed to this point. Blame him for taking it for granted, the Zhao family for being cruel, and Zhao Xiaolan for being dumb and illiterate...

Luo Sizhong racked his brains to make excuses for himself.

What's more, Zhao Xiaolan's family is dead, and apart from him and his capable subordinates, no one knows the truth of this case.

He couldn't let that little guilt in his heart ruin his prosperous official career and the future of the Luo family.

It wasn't until more than ten years later, just when Luo Sizhong was about to forget this past event. Zhao Xiaolan came to the door, and put down the ruthless words to tell Luo Family to give teeth for teeth and pay for blood with blood.

Luo Sizhong was the first to be recruited.

It was also when Luo Sizhong was dying, Cai Daochang appeared in front of Luo's family like a savior, and repelled Zhao Xiaolan with the momentum of thunder.
