preface
Friend Nana is a public prosecutor, mainly responsible for the review of death penalty cases. Once, When I went to her office to look for her, I accidentally saw the autopsy photo in the case file in front of her. It was a picture of a middle-aged man who had died in the mine. The bloody photo of the scene was glued to the side. This is the first time I’ve seen this up close. This is a realistic version of the novel Godwood and the movie Blind Well. There were many such cases a few years ago, including the “fake mine accident in which 74 people killed 17 people in 6 provinces and regions”, which was prosecuted by the People’s Procuratorate of Bayannur in Inner Mongolia in 2016.
It was getting hot and stuffy in the train cars in June.
He bought a roast chicken, tore it in half, and gave the half to his brother Ox opposite him. Ox immediately took over, he rarely eat so delicious things, his face is full of simple happiness and satisfaction.
A few days later, it was agreed that He would kill Ox with his own hands.
He was also leering at his two companions. The one to Nekuk, the other to Daai. Sitting at a small table in the lower berth of the sleeping car, the two brothers appeared to be playing cards, but they were in each other’s minds.
They are planning a murder together.

A similar murder was committed by Nagu and Tahoe Koon.
A few years ago, Dayi, a perennial migrant worker, returned to his hometown and told Naigu that he was working in a mine in a coastal city. He did not earn much money and was still very tired. Not long ago someone in the mine died in an accident and the owner lost a lot of money.
The ancient is in the prime of life, lived in the depths of the gully, the old and the young, in addition to a few acres of thin land, other nothing. And the words of Tarai were silently written in his heart.
Soon, Naigu bought a deaf mute in a neighboring village. It costs about three thousand yuan to buy such a person. Then he called Daye and said he had a deaf-mute on hand, and would he take them out to work? Darby knew it by heart.
on the train, Dahe and Nagu worry about this person is not easy to deal with, and called about another three fellow villagers, six people together to go to the mine.
Instead of going down the well, the deaf man’s bunk was next to him. For the first three days, Dahe would buy food for everyone, carefully observe the movements of the mine owners and take stock of their secret plans.
On the fourth day, Daae told Naiku that those who did the work themselves could share more money. “Now, it’s time to start.”
One morning, Naigu and two other companions and the deaf to work together layer, while the deaf did not notice, forced him to push into an abandoned well. Then he immediately pushed down a huge rock and some gravel.
When this had been done, Naiku took a careful look into the well. The man was lying face down, his upper body completely covered with stones, and only his legs were hanging out, motionless. Nago confirmed that he was dead and went out of the cave. His face was calm, as if nothing had happened.
As agreed, the two companions who went down with him pretended to cry and called the man in charge of the mine. Nagu is back to the dormitory, the success of the plan to tell the news to Dayi. Then, Like crazy, Dayi ran out of the dormitory, crying, noisy……

The train sped along.
Niu suddenly began to cough violently. Yi quickly took the kettle and poured him a glass of water.
Yantii, Dayi and Naigu all live in a state-level poor county located in the heart of Daliang Mountain. The natural conditions are harsh and the traffic is blocked. Most of the people in the village are illiterate. Limited by language barriers and education, few people go out to work, and even if they do, they only do manual work such as miners and porters.
He had just turned 30 and was already a father of four. Because want to go up to the mountain to do farm work, and not willing to let the wife do farm work, home in urgent need of a helper.
Someone in a neighboring village asked him if he wanted to buy a person with “skull problems”, and introduced that this person came from the North, first in a private clinic to do some miscellaneous, because too dull by the clinic owner’s wife dislike, so he wanted to “change hands”.
Also mentioned followed to have a look, the man is very good-faced, can speak Chinese, also can speak a little local language. What is important is that he is strong and looks capable of manual work. “Three thousand yuan, food and shelter, no wages.” The middleman nodded, the man nodded, and the next day, he took him home.
This is a realistic version of the novel Godwood and the movie Blind Well. This is a realistic version of the novel Godwood and the film Blind Well. (Still from Blind Well)
Both Daye and Nagu believed that the man was mentally retarded. But also mention feel, this person just is silent introverted, reaction is slower just. The man could not tell his own name, so he was called “Ox”. And Ox was a very able man indeed, and he lived in a shed near the side house of The House of Yatika, and could do all things, looking after the children, going to the fields, and cleaning.
With the birth of their fourth child, the family is feeling the pinch. After the Spring Festival, He also sold his family’s only sheep. After a few more months, the floods, the poor harvest, the eldest brother and the second brother had to pay school fees, but the family could not even afford a decent meal, and they were a little anxious.
And Darnay returned to the country. After four years away from home, he claimed that he worked in the mine and had become a small foreman. I just wanted to ask him if I could go out with him.
By this time, Daye had killed the deaf-mute and returned with a sum of money. After the deaf-mute died, the mine owner agreed with Daye to settle his claim. The five men shared out 260,000 yuan in compensation, and Daye himself received 200,000 yuan. At present, the next target has not appeared, to some anxious, this business can not be broken. Upon inquiry, Dayi heard that Also mentioned the ox of the family. He went to Nagu and discussed how to talk to Him about the deal.
One day soon after, In the market, Daye and Nagu “accidentally” met Yayi. Also mentioned that Dayi wanted to build a new house, so he got up the courage to ask if he could go out to work with him.
Daye and Nagu pull Yantie to the side of the road and say mysteriously: “You have a big business to do?”
To finish two people, also mention red face, “No! Send for someone else!” Then he strode off.

Entering spring, the rainy season comes.
In the early morning of a cloudy and rainy day, also mention suddenly heard in the yard “rumble” a loud noise, frighten jump, immediately hold up drive the whip of sheep rushed out. It turned out that the adobe wall had collapsed, less than a meter from the shelter where He lived. Outside the big gap was a muddy road in the village.
Then a sound, is also mentioned and his wife sleep in the room, also mentioned quickly rushed into, Followed by Ox. The ceiling next to the west wall also cracked a hole, and the rain swished in. His wife hugged the old three and the old four huddled in the corner, and the old three woke up and stared at the hole in horror.
Ox took the child over and held him in his arms. He made a quick calculation to repair the two broken places and repair them elsewhere, at least fifty or sixty dollars — but the family had nothing to offer.
He took the child from his arms and went to the yard to find a piece of paper and spread it on the wet blanket. Yayi stared at Ox. A kind of biting coldness crept up from his back ridge gradually. He shivered.
A few days later, an old man died in the village. According to the local custom, the village held a grand cremation ceremony. Daeh and Hayek meet again. ‘I’ll lend you money,’ Said Darnay. ‘I’ll lend you the money to repair the house, to send the boy to school, and to pay for the journey. You just have to come with us. That’s why He went.”
His face was livid and he said nothing.
To feel embarrassed, a few perfunctory ready to leave. After a few steps, he turned back and said to Yi, “Believe me, what you are killing is just a tool, a tool for making money.”

June 1, the day has not yet light, also picked up his wife handed over the package, hugged the children, and Niu left home together. When we reached the village, there were still a few scattered morning stars in the sky, and we breathed a sigh of relief.
Daye and Nagu are already waiting at the station. Seeing them, Darnay gallantly took the bundle and led them into the station.
The distance between my hometown and this coastal city is nearly 3,000 kilometers and it takes nearly 50 hours by train. In the meantime, Tarje, Nekuk, Yatim and Ox ate and slept together without distinction. Taking advantage of a cow to go to the toilet, also heard a call to the home of a man called Surha, let him get ready to come to the mine, “act like some, with a translator.” This made Yap’s stomach turn. He retched a few times, but nothing came out.
The night on the train was dull and hot, and the sound of “clickety-clack, clickety-clack” and The sweet snoring of Ox made me feel afraid. He rolled over and saw Darnay and Neco in the lower bunk, sound asleep. There was a moment, also mention regret, he wanted to pull The Ox jumped off the train, but a huge pressure and pressed him down.
The only hint of “peace of mind” came when Daae promised him: “You don’t have to do anything. All you have to do is fool him into the well.”
According to the later confession of Darnay, this remark was made up as a consolation only. Because, you don’t do it yourself. He was well aware that the person who killed him would get the heaviest sentence.
Believe me, what you’re killing is just a tool
The miners sent cars to pull them to the mine, took photos of all the others except Ox, checked the bodies and built archives. Everything seems quite normal. Due to the language barrier, these men were separated to the mine no. 3 well 19 middle section.
Well No. 3 is the main well, first blind well, second blind well, and third blind well from the ground down. The middle section of 19 is north-south, connected with a blind well, 960 meters above the ground. There is a railway track on the ground in the middle section of 19. To the south is a stope. In the stope, there is a feeding outlet 1.92 meters wide, 1.85 meters high and 3.7 meters deep, and inside the feeding outlet is a waste void area 80 meters deep. It is also said that their job is to load the waste ore from the blast into the bucket, carry it over the rail to the dumping outlet, and then pour the waste ore into the waste well.
Dahe and Nagu to discuss, when the ox to the waste empty area to pour stone, by also to push the ox into the waste well, forge the illusion of the mine accident. Before, Da made a false household registration in his hometown for An Ox. After the death of an Ox, Surha pretended to be a relative of An Ox and came here from Sichuan to claim for compensation. It was all perfectly arranged — except for one thing, which was a firm refusal to do it yourself.
But This was the arrangement of Daae and Neco, and they never wavered.

About ten days later, feng Kishun, a local man in charge of underground construction, found that the men were working slowly and badly. He reported back to the mine owner, who expressed his desire to let them go.
“We can’t wait any longer. We’ll do it in the morning!” That night, Daye talked to Him for the last time.
In the early morning of June 22, Yayai and Ox were walking on their way to work. “Ox, where on earth do you come from?” I also ask the same question that I’ve asked so many times. He had given up expecting an answer.
“My name is Wang Jianlin, and I’m from Hebei.” The ox suddenly spoke up.
In the dark, Yayi felt the bull’s eyes shining like gems. Yayi looked at those eyes in surprise and felt great fear.
The sun is rising. Nagu and Yayi filled the cans, put them on the railroad tracks, and took them to the pouring port. There the ox waited for unloading. The pot was very heavy, and Ox leaned forward, his head almost in the waste. Nagu gestured to Yayi with a wink to begin. He pretended not to see, and turned his head away. Naiku shouted angrily, “What have you done?”
Yick turned to him and shouted, “No! I quit!” Then he rushed out like a mad man and burst into tears.
At lunch Time, Daye and Nagu changed their plans. “You shall not strike, but you shall not shout.” “When it’s over, you just need to cry,” Dayi told Yayoi.
In the afternoon, the same thing happened. He reached his head and upper body to the hole and dumped the waste into the blind well. Naiku stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and tried to push the ox into the hole. Strong and quick to react, He quickly grabbed the edge and dug his fingers into the rock. Nagu continued to try to open his hands, but The bull’s legs were so strong that he held on to his mouth and struggled.
‘Yes, come and help! “Nagu growled.” If you can’t do it, give it up!”
Also mentioned the panic, he rushed over, holding the legs of the bull to lift up. In the struggle, Ox vigorously kick back.
At this time, is the ancient plan to withdraw to the side, the scene only two people in the fight. Ox’s finger was bleeding. Gradually, he gained the upper hand. He whipped His legs into the hole and saw ox fall down like a piece of wood.
Yayi poured all the waste materials in the waste tank into it, and then looked inside sideways. The blood flowed from The ox’s head, winding and twisting.
Soon, the bull stopped moving.

That afternoon, Dayi called Surha to bring an interpreter to the mine.
Three days later, Surha arrives, playing the brother of the deceased, and a group of five men go to the morgue to identify the body. But it was here that Mr. Feng, who accompanied him, called the police.
“They started crying before they got anywhere.” “Especially the older brother, who said he was his brother before looking at the body, squatted and cried,” Mr. Feng told the prosecutor. But crying is false crying, without tears. The others, except for one named Yayi, also pretended to cry. I remembered that the procuratorate had suggested that some outsiders forge the scene of the accident to get compensation, so I reported the case.”
Five people were held by police that day.
Autopsy report confirmed that the skull comminuted fracture, brain tissue erosion, liver, spleen, left kidney rupture, pelvic fracture, pelvic retroperitoneal large hematoma and other characteristics of the deceased, consistent with death from high fall. Soon after, local public security organs asked prosecutors to arrest five people on suspicion of intentional homicide or fraud. Before long, the procuratorial organ initiated public prosecution to the court on this case. The case was heard locally in public.
Three months later, the court made a public sentence: 1. The defendant also mentioned that he was guilty of intentional homicide, sentenced to death and deprived of political rights for life; 2. 2. The defendant Is sentenced to death for intentional murder and deprived of political rights for life; 3. The defendant was convicted of intentional homicide, sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve and deprived of political rights for life; 4. Defendant Surha was convicted of fraud and sentenced to three years in prison and fined 5,000 YUAN.
“I have killed a man. But As Darnay said, What I killed was only a tool. Die. He should die first.” In the face of the female prosecutor, also mentioned and repeated this sentence.
Afterword.
It was march again and it was very cold. Early in the morning, Also mentioned his wife went to work.
With her two-year-old son on her back, the eldest daughter, who had dropped out of school, stayed home to watch the youngest. There is no mention at home, there is no Ox, all the work is her own.
When her fifth child was born prematurely, she straightened up in pain and the water in the paddy field was as quiet as a mirror.
