Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 167 Accidental Death (7)
Things were not that simple. In the following days, 9 villagers died of liver cancer and nephritis, all aged between 40 and 60. There were only 502 villagers in Banling Village, and 11 died in just one year. Personally, the death rate was too high, which aroused the alarm of the villagers. They thought it might be related to the water source, so the village director took samples from the tap water to the epidemic prevention station for testing. The results showed that the heavy metals in the water seriously exceeded the standard, especially arsenic, lead, and mercury. Exceeding the standard by 5000 to 10000 times, these heavy metals are the main culprits of liver cancer and nephritis.

Five years ago (1992), in order to make farmers get rich quickly, the government attracted investment from the Tiangong Fertilizer Factory to the town. The boss of this company was Zhou Shan, who was very superstitious about Feng Shui. Banling Village was surrounded by mountains, which happened to be in line with his The names coincided with each other, so he took a fancy to a valley behind Banling Village. The valley is called Lailu Valley. Every year when the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, thousands of egrets will fly to the valley to roost. The scene is extremely spectacular, so it is named Lailu Valley. Heron Valley.

When the village director announced the news to the villagers, everyone pointed to the "Tiangong Fertilizer Factory". The Tiangong Fertilizer Factory produces chemical fertilizers and pesticides. In order to reduce costs, they did not treat the sewage and discharged it directly into the mountain stream. , toxic heavy metals seeped into the ground, and then seeped into the tap water, and the villagers were poisoned from drinking it for a long time. Unfortunately, the villagers had no awareness of environmental protection. They only saw the benefits of the fertilizer factory recruiting villagers to work and receive wages, but did not have a premonition that death was quietly walking away. nearly every villager.

The village director took the villagers to the Tiangong Fertilizer Factory to explain the plan. Zhou Shan saw more than 100 villagers rushing towards him. Chunks and soil were thrown into the factory, and some climbed in through the wall. Zhou Shan immediately called the police because he was afraid that he would not be able to control the situation.

The police from the town police station rushed over and tried to disperse the villagers. However, the young people whose parents had died refused to go home and even clashed with the police. The director was afraid that the situation would get out of control, so he quickly reported to the director and transferred people from the county. A carload of armed police rushed to the scene, as did the town party committee secretary and the mayor. The mayor, who acted as the village director, asked him to take the villagers back.The town mayor and director promised in public that they would investigate the water source pollution. If the fertilizer factory was responsible, they would make the factory responsible for compensation and relocate it.

With the promise of the two leaders, the village chief persuaded the villagers to go back, and the matter would eventually be resolved.The villagers did not want to continue the confrontation with the government, so they had no choice but to go home with hope and resentment.

However, the town government did not fulfill its promise. Villagers often went to the town government to inquire, but the mayor ignored them. A year later, the town mayor was transferred. Under the manipulation of the town government, the righteous village chief was replaced by a migrant worker who returned home from Shanghai. He was replaced by a young man named Gong Zhen. He was the yes man of the town government. Every time the villagers wanted to petition, he and the village committee intercepted him.If you go secretly to appeal, you will be sent to a detention center.

The villagers had no choice but to form an alliance and secretly dig the road in and out of the fertilizer plant at night. However, the leader of the road digger was found out by the police and sentenced. Gong Xiaowang was very angry and vowed not to avenge his father's murder. No mother's hatred!
Gong Xiaowang didn't want to be imprisoned in a detention center like other villagers. He had to think of a foolproof strategy to eliminate the root cause of the problem and never put himself in jail, because he still had a younger sister in junior high school who needed his care.

He often climbed to the top of the mountain and stared at his hometown for a long time. It used to be so peaceful and beautiful, but now it has become a cancer village where people are filled with resentment and talk of anger. Every time he stares at his hometown, his heartache and hatred deepen.

After entering the 21st century, China's top officials began to pay more attention to environmental pollution. In the spring of 2003, Zhou Shan secretly transferred the fertilizer to others and returned to the provincial capital. Gong Xiaowang's plan failed.

Zhou Shan was very smart. He realized that the government would vigorously rectify the polluting factories, so he switched careers and started a construction company.Because Zhou Shan had already made a lot of money in Banling Village, he invested the 1000 million he earned into the construction company and slowly grew it.

Gong Xiaowang is a man who must follow his words and achieve results. After he supported his sister through college, he believed that he had fulfilled his responsibility and had no burden. He had to carry out another mission: murder Zhou Shan!He expressed his thoughts to the old village chief, who greatly appreciated his behavior. On the night of farewell, the old village chief served Gong Xiaowang with wine alone in the tavern at the head of the village, and the old village chief sang I started to sing a song I learned from the movie: "The wind is rustling and the water is cold. The strong men are gone and never come back..." An old man and a young man hugged each other and cried. The tragic feeling is indescribable.

In the winter of 2011, Gong Xiaowang came to Yangtze City and learned that Zhou Shan had opened a construction company. He went to work on the construction site and learned from the master to be a cement worker. After half a year, his bricklaying skills had reached a proficient level.At this time, he met Liu Feng, who was still married, at the construction site. Liu Feng was so surprised that she could no longer conceal her feelings and bravely confessed to Gong Xiaowang.Gong Xiaowang rejected her. He knew very well that the love between children and heroes is short.Liu Feng secretly followed him home and sat at his door all night. When Gong Xiaowang opened the door the next day, he saw Liu Feng sleeping beside the door. He was deeply moved by her and finally accepted her, so the two lived together.

Three months ago, Gong Xiaowang was successfully employed by Tianzao Construction Company. He lurked in Tianzao Company, waiting for an opportunity to strike. When the opportunity finally came that day, he instigated his workers not to work too hard. The company would only give them extra work if they were seen by the boss. As expected, Zhou Shan fell into Gong Xiaowang's trap and fell to his death from the seventh floor...

At the moment when Zhou Shan fell to the ground, Gong Xiaowang burst into tears and said silently to the sky: Mom, Dad, uncles and aunts, I have avenged you, you can smile now!

Gong Xiaowang wanted to escape immediately after resigning, but because Liu Feng had not received her salary, she asked him to wait for her for two days. He planned to escape to Vietnam with Liu Feng. It was impossible without enough travel expenses, because Gong Xiaowang had spent all his money. All the wages were used to treat the workers to drinks. If Wu Jiang and Xiao Kechi found him one day, he and Liu Feng would already be in the car fleeing to the border. 8. Extrajudicial mercy

At 2013 a.m. on December 12, 1, the Municipal Procuratorate filed a public prosecution with the Municipal Intermediate People’s Court regarding Gong Xiaowang’s murder of Zhou Shan.All the villagers in Banling Village pooled together 9 yuan to hire Sun Cheng, the city's top lawyer from Guangming Law Firm, to serve as Gong Xiaowang's defender. Sun Cheng is a well-known lawyer in the city. He is not only proficient in law, but also good at dealing with the media and judges. Every judge will slightly deviate from the legal standards under his eloquent defense. He is particularly good at using the sympathy of the jurors and the audience. When he talks about emotional points, his eyes will burst into tears, as if he is not defending the defendant, but It's about defending yourself.

Although Gong Xiaowang deserves sympathy, after all, the evidence is complete and the plan has been planned for a long time. If there is no miracle, there is a high possibility of being sentenced to death or suspended death. However, the old village head of Banling Village and all the villagers asked Sun Cheng to persuade the judge to sentence Gong Xiaowang to death. Wang may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, or life imprisonment, but in short, he must not be sentenced to death or suspended death.

Sun Cheng understood that this was not a simple case, because Zhou Shan was very powerful. He had good relations with the city's senior leaders during his lifetime, and was an outstanding entrepreneur in Jiangnan District. If a leader put pressure on the judge before the trial, It is very likely that Gong Xiaowang will be sentenced to death. Zhoushan's social power is much stronger than that of the Banling villagers. Sun Chengcheng did not want to take this case. However, after he saw Gong Xiaowang's case file, he felt that Gong Xiaowang, a tragic hero, was worth it. Sympathetic, so he agreed to the old village chief to defend Gong Xiaowang.

During the trial, the auditorium of the court was full of spectators. Zhou Ting, her mother Chi Li, and the vice presidents of Tianzao Company sat in the front row, waiting for the judge to give the harshest sentence to Gong Xiaowang.

When Gong Xiaowang was brought to court by the bailiff, everyone could not believe that an ordinary and humble migrant worker had such deep scheming and almost deceived the notorious No. 1 Crime Team. Of course, they did not know that Gong Xiaowang's various Ke's academic performance is among the top three. As long as he is willing to study, there is nothing he can't do. "Knowledge is power" is his motto.

Gong Xiaowang stood calmly and calmly in the court. He had already ignored life and death. He believed that people will die sooner or later. No matter how long life is, it will not last long. As long as you die in the right place, it will be fine.

Sun Cheng used his eyes to tell him that he must pretend to be remorseful and heartbroken. This is what Sun Cheng told him when he visited Gong Xiaowang. Only in this way can he win the sympathy of the judge and the forgiveness of the family of the deceased. If he has no regrets, Zhou Shan will be angered. It is impossible for a judge to show extra mercy to his family members.

In order not to embarrass Sun Chenghe and live up to the high expectations of his father and fellow villagers, Gong Xiaowang lowered his head and made a sign of regret.

When the trial was halfway through, there was a sudden noise at the door of the court. 150 people got off three buses, including women, children, old people and young people. Some women were carrying babies several months old on their backs. All of them They all rushed into the court, but the few bailiffs outside the door couldn't stop them at all, because they could stop one but not that, and they didn't have any equipment in their hands, so the bailiffs couldn't stop them by force.So, all 150 people packed into the courtroom.

Gong Xiaowang was stunned when he saw that they were all men, women and children from Banling Village. He knew that the fellow villagers bravely rushed to the court to save him. He was moved to tears, but he was very calm and shouted to the old village chief. Name, they must not force it, otherwise the crime will be added to the crime. The old village chief came prepared and knew what to do. He knelt on the ground, Liu Feng next to him also knelt down, and everyone else followed. Kneel down so all spaces are packed.

The old village chief shouted loudly: "Judge, please let Xiaowang live. His parents were both killed by cancer."
