Wu Daquan, China version of The Shawshank Redemption.
Wu Daquan, a 28-year-old Guizhou youth, may not have seen The Shawshank Redemption. However, his life is almost exactly the same as that of the main character in the movie-when he was serving his sentence in the Fourth Prison of Zhejiang Province, he accidentally met the real murderer!
Our reporter Chen Lei is from Ningbo, Zhejiang.
Andy, a banker who was unjustly imprisoned, accidentally learned from a young prisoner transferred from another prison that the real murderer who killed his wife was actually serving his sentence in another prison for other crimes!
When Andy asked the warden to report the case and tried to retry the case, he was rebuffed and sentenced to one month's solitary confinement. In order to prevent Andy from exposing the judicial shady after he got out of prison, the warden did not hesitate to design and kill the insider.
This is the most bizarre plot in the Hollywood movie The Shawshank Redemption.
Wu Daquan, a 28-year-old Guizhou youth, may not have seen The Shawshank Redemption, and he doesn't know who Andy is, Wuyuan Tea. However, his life is almost exactly the same as Andy's-when he was serving his sentence in the Fourth Prison of Zhejiang Province, he accidentally met the real murderer!
The real murderer turned himself in, but he was not free. The "condemned prisoner" became a "crime of sheltering"-he was sentenced to 4 years and 4 months by Cixi Court. One way of saying this is, "In order to avoid Wu Daquan's dissatisfaction with the press after his release ... he continued to be detained on other charges, so he could not appeal."
In August this year 10, he was escorted by a police car and released on parole.
horrible
"Say, when caught by the police, say he did a perfect job, it's none of my business. I was ignorant of the law at that time, so I didn't report it. "
Wu Daquan's nightmare began on September 4, 2006.
In the early hours of that morning, Shen, the shopkeeper in Dianqiao Village, Cixi, Zhejiang Province, was found dead in bed. "There is a lot of blood on his head, his face is waxy white, and there is blood on the bed and on the wall."
Forensic identification: Shen was chopped, resulting in craniocerebral injury complicated with traumatic hemorrhagic shock and death. Subsequently, Cixi police launched a dragnet investigation in Dianqiao Village.
/kloc-After coming to Cixi Pad Bridge with his brother at the age of 0/6, Wu Daquan stayed in this place for many years and often went to Shen's shop to buy things. He thinks Shen is a "nice person".
Unlike those frightened villagers, Wu Daquan already knew the real murderer of this murder case-a few hours ago, his roommate Shi Bimo told him: I killed that old woman in the canteen.
Shi Biyao at that time, 17 years old, like Wu Daquan, came from Huishui, Guizhou. Wu Daquan took Shi Bimo as his younger brother and gave him a nickname "Kid". During that time, Wu Daquan didn't have a job and didn't pay the rent in 80 yuan in January, which made Wu feel guilty.
On September 3, Shi Biyao invited Wu to work in Guangdong, saying that the money there was better than that in Zhejiang, and Wu Daquan, who was embarrassed, agreed. Then, Shi Biyao and a fellow villager went to Yuyao Railway Station to buy tickets, while Wu Daquan had dinner with several familiar fellow villagers to say goodbye.
"Eat first, and then go to play billiards. After 1 1 o'clock, several people went to eat supper together and returned to the rental house around 1 o'clock in the morning. There is no light at home, and middle school students don't want their seats to be more tired than the old people on the bus (Figure). The TV was on, and Shi Bimo sat alone in bed and told me that he had killed someone. "
"I asked who killed him, and he said it was the old woman in the canteen. She works with Chengquan and wants to make some money. " Wu Daquan recalled that he might be a little scared at that time, and Shi Biyao asked him to accompany him to find perfection. He was not familiar with perfection at that time. "I only know that it is a person of hometown in Guizhou, and I have never seen it several times. People call him perfect and I call him perfect. I am thin and short, nothing special. "
After finding perfection, Smyrna stepped aside and said, "I can't hear clearly what to say, but I heard the last sentence: after dawn, we will go our separate ways."
Then, Speedo pulled Wu Daquan online, and Wu refused. "Then tell my uncle that I killed someone and ask him to get me some money tomorrow." Shi Bimo told Wu Daquan.
After dawn, Wu Daquan found Shi Biyao's uncle's history and literature who was renting a house in Dianqiao Village.
Now, this Guizhou man who was imprisoned for three years for "harboring crimes" regrets it. At that time, he gave money to his nephew 300 yuan and asked Wu Daquan to "help put that boy on the train (he didn't know that Shi Biyao and Wu Daquan were going to Guangdong together)."
On September 7th, Wu Daquan and Yao's family arrived in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, and slept in the rented room found by Uncle Yao. "After less than an hour, I vaguely heard the door open with a bang, opened my eyes, and the police gun was pointing at my head ..."
"On the train, BiJiao, I used to want to report. But Shi Biyao said that when he was arrested by the police, he said that it was his business and that it was none of my business. At that time, I didn't understand the law and didn't report it. " Only Wu Daquan, a fourth-grade primary school student, regretted it.
question
"I can't stand being beaten, my brain is groggy, and I can't stand answering anything they say."
When recording a confession at the local police station in Chaozhou, Wu Daquan honestly explained what happened: how he heard that Shi Biyao had killed someone, how he went to find Cheng Quan with Shi Biyao, how he found Shi Biyao's uncle for 300 yuan, how they got to Guangdong, and so on.
At first, the police could listen carefully. Before long, the policeman who interrogated him began to reprimand him: "We have already checked, and no one is perfect. You made it up completely to avoid guilt. Don't make this up. Not the killer. How do you know so much? ! "
Wu Daquan is silly, and it's no use regretting.
The trial was held in the special courtroom of the detention center. "I can't stand being beaten, my brain is groggy. I can't stand what they say. " After recording the confession, what Cheng Quan did became what Wu Daquan did-he became a criminal who conspired with Shi Baguiyao to rob and kill. The police warned him: come back for trial tomorrow night, unlike today, you will suffer!
Wu Daquan never dared to take full commission again. He confessed the crime against his will. In the prosecution stage of the people's procuratorate, Wu Daquan thought about recanting-"I told the prosecutor that I didn't do the murder, but the tea shop did it." But the prosecutor said, since you have admitted it, why do you want to get the full commission? Once you confess, the case will have to call the public security bureau ... "
Wu Daquan was afraid and didn't want to suffer again, so he had to "honestly confess".
In the court of first instance, Wu Daquan didn't say much, just a few words. He didn't kill anyone. I hope that the judge will give a light sentence-"There are more than a dozen people on the other side (prosecution, relatives of the deceased and lawyers hired, reporter's note). I only have one person and one mouth. How can I talk about them? "
judge
He also admitted that before long, the shadow of death began to hang over him. "I can't sleep. I thought when I heard the door ring, I pulled it out and took it ... "
In Wu Daquan's account, the defense lawyers appointed by the relevant parties hardly played a corresponding role in the first instance of Ningbo Intermediate People's Court and the second instance of Zhejiang High Court. His own explanation is: "What's the use of appointing a lawyer without spending money?"
In fact, the Ningbo Legal Aid Center appointed Xin Furong, a lawyer of Kangpai Law Firm, who also met him in the detention center. During the trial, Xin pleaded guilty: "The defendant Wu Daquan was a first-time offender, did not actively prepare tools, did not specifically implement the act of cutting the victim, and requested a lighter punishment for the defendant Wu Daquan."
What is puzzling is that four years later, when our reporter asked the lawyer about Wu Daquan's case, the female lawyer seemed to forget this once life-and-death case and asked the reporter: Did I handle the case? How did the verdict write about me? ……
Yang Xuelin, a senior lawyer who has worked for many years, said that under normal circumstances, lawyers who have seen clients and appeared in court are unlikely to forget the case completely. However, in reality, due to the low amount of state subsidies, there are indeed cases where appointed lawyers are not responsible enough.
"I have been to Norway, where there is also a legal aid mechanism and the cost is not high. However, because the evaluation right is in the hands of the judge, the judge hopes that both the prosecution and the defense will be carried out at the same level, and the defense lawyer who does not try his best will not be used next time, so the appointed lawyer is quite conscientious. "
Xin Furong's defense opinion of "can't remember clearly" was not adopted by the court. The judge's point of view is: "Although Wu Daquan did not prepare criminal tools and did not directly cause death, he actively carried out robbery and instructed his minor accomplices to kill the victim ..."
Finally, the Ningbo Intermediate People's Court sentenced Wu Daquan to death in the first instance. When sentencing, he was afraid that he could not accept it. The bailiff came forward to help, but Wu refused. He has repeatedly stated to the media that I am "not afraid of death, I can bear it". However, he also admitted that before long, the shadow of death began to hang over him. "I can't sleep. I thought I was going to pull it out when I heard the door ring ..."
On the day when the judgment of the second instance came down, Wu Daquan was "almost excited" to hear the news of the reprieve. But soon, he was surrounded by huge losses. "Death with a reprieve, although not for the time being, can wait until you get out of prison and get old. What's the use? "
a chance encounter
I heard someone outside said that they were looking for a fellow villager in Guizhou. When he came out, he saw a familiar face. He froze: isn't this a fulfillment?
Wu Daquan hasn't thought about appealing since he entered the Fourth Prison of Zhejiang Province on August 17, 2007. "Petition 10". However, the words of the political teacher in the prison made him desperate-"the success rate of the appeal is only one in ten thousand" and new evidence is needed.
Unable to find new evidence, Wu Daquan tore up more than a dozen complaints, and he had to adapt to prison life slowly. In June, 2008, 165438+ 10, a fellow villager from Team 5 in the prison came to see him, saying that Team 9 also had a fellow villager from Huishui County, Guizhou Province, and wanted to find an opportunity for everyone to meet.
One day, while reading in the reading room, he heard someone outside saying that he was looking for a native of Guizhou. When he came out, he saw a familiar face. He froze: isn't this a fulfillment?
Perfect also leng.
"Why are you here?" Perfect question.
"Why am I here? I should ask you! " Wu daquan is on fire.
"I specially went to see the badge of Chengquan", which read "Ban Chunquan". At that time, Wu Daquan knew Cheng Quan's real name. "Perfect" looks a little guilty and turns pale. After a while, he asked me: Have you reported me? After several meetings, he asked many times. "
Why didn't the police find perfection in the first place?
It turned out that in September 2006, Ban Chunquan, nicknamed "Complete", fled to Yuyao City near Cixi after conspiring with Shi Bimo to kill people, "helping him enter Yuyao Guanghui Glass Factory through his cousin Ban, Uncle Ban and Aunt Wang Mingying".
The guilty man didn't dare to identify himself, but went by the pseudonym "Ban Zhongli". Unexpectedly, in July 2007, because of a drunken quarrel, the young man stabbed another person to death. At that time, Wu Daquan was sentenced to death by the second instance of Zhejiang Higher People's Court.
At that time, it was almost impossible for them to meet again in this life. They met in Zhejiang No.4 Prison and staged China's version of The Shawshank Redemption.
The person in charge of Yuyao Guanghui Glass Factory hardly believes this legendary story, but he still remembers the Guizhou young man who killed people in their factory. "Low academic qualifications and poor quality. It was discovered that it was a pseudonym after an accident. It was wild and difficult to change, and it was easy to fight. "
Change the sentence
"It is easy to kill a person, but it is difficult to save a person. Your situation is already a blessing in disguise. What's the trouble? "
March 23rd, 2009 is a day that Wu Daquan will never forget.
That day, he was still working and was taken back to the detention center by the police from prison. "I'm so happy that I haven't had time to pack my things. A lot of things were left in prison, and I didn't even bring toiletries. "
Just like Andy in The Shawshank Redemption, be happy earlier-201065438+10 On October 20th, Cixi City Procuratorate filed a public prosecution against Wu Daquan for harboring crimes. On March 12, Cixi City Court sentenced Wu Daquan to 4 years and 4 months in prison for harboring.
A net post that first disclosed the case explained, "In order to avoid Wu Daquan's dissatisfaction with the press after his release, Xiamen Sea created a public opinion like the unjust case in Zhao Zuohai, Henan Province ... Wu Daquan continued to be detained on other charges, making it impossible for him to appeal."
After receiving the verdict, Wu Daquan chose to appeal to the tea company and thought that "the sentence was too heavy". Yang Xuelin, his attorney, believes that "Wu Daquan has no legal basis for filing a case for investigation on the crime of harboring". In addition, the behavior of Wu Daquan in the second instance violated recognized judicial principles. "
The appeal failed-two prosecutors of Ningbo Procuratorate, with printed withdrawal documents, found Wu Daquan in the detention center and suggested that he withdraw the lawsuit. "They said, you know, it is easy to kill a person, but it is difficult to save a person. For you, this is a blessing in disguise. Is there any trouble? Sentence you to four years and four months, which is carefully studied by the relevant departments. Do you know that the maximum sentence for harboring crimes is 10 years? "
Wu Daquan, who is still in the detention center, is a little scared. "I want to come out early. Anyway, there are not many months (since I was arrested in September 2006, the sentence has been calculated, reporter's note), so I signed the printed withdrawal letter. " Parole on August 10. That day, looking at everything outside the window, he felt so strange.
165438+1October 10 Wu's story was disclosed by the media, and he was restricted from going out by the factory. In the meantime, on one occasion, he was about to walk out of the factory door and was carried back. 14, facing the reporter's questioning, the excited young man said, "They are also good for me."
However, nearly two years have passed since the murderer surrendered himself to the present, and Wu Daquan has never waited for the statement that "the effective judgment of suspension of death was revoked, and the court said it was a wrong case, but no one gave me a statement". What if I didn't meet the killer in prison? ! "
You can't assume anything.
165438+1October 15, Cixi Public Security Bureau said, "Wu Daquan's case was wrongly judged by the court." Director Wang of Cixi City Court Office said: "Last week, the relevant departments have asked us to hold a coordination meeting to release news in a unified way. If you want to say something, ask the propaganda department. "
"I still want to appeal" —— Dialogue with Wu Daquan
Our reporter Chen Lei is from Ningbo, Zhejiang.
People Weekly: How did you come to work in this factory now?
Wu Daquan: The police found it for me. On August 10, two policemen were driving a car, and our manager and director came to the detention center to meet me.
People Weekly: Have you signed a labor contract with the factory?
Wu Daquan: Not yet.
People Weekly: Do you get paid on time every month? How is the factory treating you?
Wu Daquan: I get paid on time. The factory is not bad for me. Last night (165438+1October 13), I was sick. They all sent me there, and I still live in their house.
People Weekly: What do you think you can do?
Wu Daquan: Luck is my fate. If Ban Chunquan hadn't killed anyone, I would never have seen him in my life. If he had killed someone, I wouldn't have seen him in the fourth prison. The third prison and the fourth prison are separated by a wall. If he is there, I can't see him at all. Even in the fourth prison, if he is not looking for a fellow villager, I don't know if he can meet him. The probability is too small.
People Weekly: Did you hate anyone after this incident?
Wu Daquan: I hate public security. I hate those policemen who handle wrong cases. After Ban Chunquan surrendered himself, the police who handled my case came to the prison and took me to the detention center. He asked me, do you know me? I said, yes. In fact, the function of tea, what I wanted to say at that time was: I know everything that turns to ash! On that day, I took the same notes as I did in Chaozhou. The police also asked me, I still remember it clearly after so long. I said I didn't do it, of course I remember it clearly.
People Weekly: What are your plans for the future?
Wu Daquan: When my parole expires, I want to lodge a complaint and ask the relevant departments to give me an explanation.
