At noon on August 3, 1998, a major case occurred in Gaoping Village, Qugou Town, Anyang County. Jia Hairong, a 31-year-old woman, was killed and her body was found next to her farmland. After receiving the alarm, the police immediately rushed to the crime scene.
The farmers in the whole village quit their jobs and rushed to the fields to see how the police solved the case. Qin Yanhong, a farmer in Xiaotun village next door, was doing odd jobs in an iron factory at that time and also became a melon eater. I heard that the victim was a 31-year-old woman, and he also discussed with his colleagues: "The murderer is really courageous. He dares to kill people in broad daylight and will never be spared if he is caught by the police!" But he never imagined that he had become the "biggest suspect" in the eyes of the police.
Qin Yanhong was on duty in the iron works when four policemen came, claiming to be from Anyang Interpol Brigade, and said they wanted to ask him for some information. Qin Yanhong's heart sank with a jerk when he heard this. It must be bad for the police to come to you! However, he admitted that he had done nothing wrong, put down his work and left with the police. He also greeted the doorman with a smile and said, "Nothing, I will come back when I go."
however, he didn't come back after he left. Three days later, Qin Yanhong was detained by Anyang police on suspicion of intentional homicide. The public prosecutor accused: "On the day of the crime, three primary school students had seen Qin Yanhong appear at the crime scene; During the trial, Qin Yanhong also confessed that he had killed someone. "
However, in court, Qin Yanhong retracted his confession, saying that he had indeed been near the crime scene, but he wanted to see if the crops needed fertilization (his home was not far from the crime scene). Moreover, he has never seen Jia Hairong, and the confession of confession is all based on the "guidance" of the case-handling personnel. If you don't say it, you will be beaten.
defense lawyers also believe that the testimony of three primary school students alone is not enough to convict, not to mention that Qin Yanhong recanted in court and was suspected of extorting a confession.
However, Anyang Intermediate People's Court held that all the investigators involved in solving the case proved that there was no act of extorting confessions during the trial. Qin Yanhong's description of the criminal facts is consistent with the witness's testimony, on-site investigation and autopsy report, and the criminal facts are established.
On October 8th, 1999, Anyang Intermediate People's Court sentenced Qin Yanhong to death. In "criminal judgment", the court had such a detailed description: "At 12 o'clock on the day of the crime, Qin Yanhong went to Wanjinhe to take a bath. When he passed the villager Han Xinming's hut, he saw that there was no one in the house, so he broke into the window and stole a plastic clock, a bunch of keys and a razor blade. When he went to the northwest of the neighboring village, he saw Jia Hairong taking a bath in the ditch, and he had a sudden evil intention and wanted to do something bad to him. Jia Hairong was strangled in the resistance. "
Qin Yanhong was arrested by the police. No one in the village believed that he would do such a thing, and everyone thought it was an unjust case. His classmate said, "Qin Yanhong is very timid. I don't believe that he is a strong J criminal when he sees women blushing." After hearing that he was sentenced to death, the village even exploded.
However, the public security bureau, the procuratorate and the court all agreed that Qin Yanhong was the murderer, and the villagers gradually changed their attitudes. The old man who had wronged him shook his head and sighed, "This child looks honest. How can he do this?" At that time, not only Qin Yanhong became the object of villagers' discussion, but even his family was pointed at everywhere and looked up.
My brother never believed that his younger brother had killed anyone, and his good business stopped, and he went around to avenge his younger brother. However, the court did not change the sentence, and the whole family fell into despair. Every day, they counted in tears that Qin Yanhong still had a few days to live and when to go to the execution ground.
As the days passed, on February 2111, things took a turn for the better. A murderous demon named Yuan Qiu Fu voluntarily surrendered to Linzhou police. According to Yuan Qiu Fu's account, in more than two years, he traveled to three provinces and 11 places, and * * * robbed more than 41 people, killing more than 21 people. The victims were all women, except for two who were strangled by ropes, the rest were all strangled.
In Yuan Qiu Fu's confession, the police found that Jia Hairong was actually responsible for the murder, and Qin Yanhong, the "murderer", was caught by mistake. A month later, the Henan Higher People's Court made a final ruling that Qin Yanhong's criminal facts were unclear and the evidence was insufficient. The original judgment was revoked and sent back to Anyang Intermediate People's Court for retrial.
On May 28th, 2112, Qin Yanhong, who had been detained for four years, finally walked out of the detention center. If it weren't for the real murderer's surrender, Qin Yanhong would have died in vain.
