Another case of intentional homicide.
I pulled out the suspect’s ID photo from the system, a 16-year-old girl with decent features, nothing special to see.
After the arraignment procedures, into the interrogation room, Xiaowen was brought in by the detention center correctional officers.
For more than 20 years in criminal investigation, I have handled all kinds of serious and mega criminal cases and have seen all kinds of suspects. I know from experience that “murderers” are not as faceless as people think, but may also be small and weak. However, when faced with Xiaowen, it was difficult for me to equate her with a murderer.
Maybe it was seeing a strange face, maybe it was nervous, scared, Xiaowen’s cheeks were red, her eyes were bigger than on her ID photo, and she looked at me blankly, full of anxiety and shyness, like a bewildered deer, and for a moment, I felt a sense of pity.
However, her wrists shaking handcuffs, in front of the cold stainless steel fence and the thick case files on the interrogation table, so that my rational back to the mind –
I am an investigator on the case, a suspect in front of me, a suspect suspected of killing his own father!

In the summer of 2016, it has been more than 20 days since the end of the midterm exam.
For Liu Xiaoyang, this examination, only means a longer vacation. The parents, who are doing a small hotel business, have no time to discipline him and do not expect much from him. During the day, Liu Xiaoyang in addition to playing games, is and other underachieving classmates, social youth hanging out.
A few days ago, the first year of high school A Jia asked Liu Xiaoyang to go to a fight, and said he could share the reward. It is not no fight, Liu Xiaoyang did not even think about it and agreed. It was only on the night of the fight, after meeting up with Aja, that Liu Xiaoyang learned that they were going to fight an adult, the “stepfather” of one of Aja’s female classmates. This made Liu Xiaoyang and several others have a little hesitation.
Aga added: “This girl’s stepfather often domestic violence against her!”
The girl’s stepfather is often violent to her!” To teach a person who is violent to his daughter – thinking about it, Liu Xiaoyang not only dispelled their worries, but also suddenly gave birth to some feelings of chivalry – moreover, with Liu Xiaoyang’s 1.8 meters, they should not be able to deal with a middle-aged man.
They followed Aja, headed to the girl’s home. Arriving at the destination, it was already 11 o’clock at night, Liu Xiaoyang saw a girl of similar age to himself, already waiting at the door.
“Where is your father?” Aga asked the girl.
“In the innermost room.” The girl replied softly and nudged her way to the door.
Liu Xiaoyang a few people crept into the living room, down the aisle, peeking into the innermost room: a man in his 40s is in the room, concentrating on his phone. See the man is still awake, Liu Xiaoyang and others hurriedly and quietly out of the door.
That night things did not work, we each scattered.
Later, Aja fear of trouble, no longer involved, before the exit, Liu Xiaoyang introduced to the girl – the girl is Xiaowen.
Xiao Wen again offered a fee of 1,600 yuan, asking Liu Xiaoyang to help find someone to teach her “stepfather” a lesson. As a student under the age of 16, this money is not a small temptation for Liu Xiaoyang.
The company’s main goal is to provide a good solution to the problem.
After a few days, Liu Xiaoyang on the way home from the Internet cafe, with all the 1300 yuan on their own, bought an “iPhone 6″, did not expect to be a simulation machine. After reporting the case, Liu Xiaoyang was still scolded by his father.
At this time, Xiaowen sent another WeChat: “How about it, in the end still do not do?”
–The company’s main goal is to provide a good solution to the problem. Liu Xiaoyang hurriedly responded to Xiaowen.
The two of them discussed and agreed on a deal. The two of them had a discussion and agreed to do it the next morning. The night after the discussion, Liu Xiaoyang invited a few classmates and asked them to call on a few more people, to fight, to be more people.
On July 17 at 9:00 a.m., Liu Xiaoyang and seven others met at the agreed upon McDonalds. Liu Xiaoyang to the group briefly said the original reason for the fight and requirements, then led the crowd in two cabs to Xiaowen’s home.

In the summer of 2016, Hong Kong resident Zeng Fang frequently traveled to and from Hong Kong and Zhuhai, she was a little busy and a little annoyed.
Zeng Fang is originally from a county in western Guangdong, and then her family moved to Zhuhai. Mother died early, the father business for many years, discarded a residential building of several suites, himself and nanny live in a set, the rest was divided to Zeng Fang and brother Zeng Han, sister Zeng Ying. The father’s patriarchal concept is heavy, brother Zeng Han inherited most of the family business, earned money, and his wife and children moved to Zhuhai New District. Zeng Fang, on the other hand, fell in love with a Hong Kong man more than 10 years ago and, after marriage, went to Hong Kong with her husband and got the coveted Hong Kong ID card.
Her sister, Zeng Ying, who was introverted since childhood, later found a job in a factory and met her worker, Kang Hanming. Kang Hanming is from Hunan, his family is not in Zhuhai, and he did not earn much money from his part-time job. After they got married, Kang Hanming naturally became a son-in-law and gave birth to his daughter Xiaowen with Zeng Ying. A few years earlier, the two were both laid off, Zeng Ying then to Zeng Han’s glass decoration store to help cook, cleaning, Zeng Han gave her more than 3,000 yuan a month as a salary.
Maybe the bad situation made Zeng Ying have a sense of inferiority, she never contact with her sister initiative. On the contrary, every time Zeng Fang returned to Zhuhai from Hong Kong, she would take the initiative to visit her sister’s home and bring some household items and gifts for her niece Xiaowen. Zeng Fang likes this niece, the two are very good feelings, every time they meet, there are endless words, Xiaowen can be said to be Zeng Fang watched the growth.
These years, Zeng Fang learned that the niece and brother-in-law relationship is very bad, father and daughter even threatened each other to “destroy each other”.
A few months ago, I do not know what reason, reading the first year of high school Xiaowen from the school dropped out. The company’s main goal is to provide a solution to the problem. For this reason, Zeng Fang has only recently made several trips to Hong Kong and Zhuhai, trying to help Xiaowen solve the matter of school. During the period, the two also went back home to western Guangdong, to several secondary schools to look at, but the conditions and environment there, are not to their satisfaction. After all, they also have a family in Hong Kong, Zeng Fang can not focus on Xiaowen, the matter of transferring to another school is delayed.
Just two weeks ago, Zeng Fang learned that Xiaowen had a temper tantrum again because of a conflict with Kang Hanming, and not only smashed some things at home, but also hit her mother, Zeng Ying, forcing her to divorce Kang Hanming. To make Xiaowen give up this idea, Zeng Ying left home and hid away.
Seeing her niece make such a big fuss, Zeng Fang returned to Zhuhai again and met with her sister and brother-in-law without letting Xiaowen know. During the meeting, sister and brother-in-law blamed each other and complained that each other did not teach Xiaowen well. The first time, Zeng Fang felt that the relationship between husband and wife is not convenient for others to intervene to solve, but when Kang Hanming said that Xiaowen and other boys in love, pregnant and aborted, Zeng Fang fumed, angrily scolded brother-in-law: “You a brain-damaged, listen to what others say and take it seriously, their own daughter is not clear?”
In those days, Xiaowen and Zeng Fang frequent WeChat contact, Xiaowen said to hit the mother expressed regret, hope that the great aunt can find the mother, persuade her to go home. The nephew’s niece, Zeng Fang, vaguely feel that the child may have psychological problems, politely advised Xiaowen can go to see a psychiatrist, going forward to be the mother a little better.
On July 17, 2016 at 10:00 am, Zeng Fang, who is in Hong Kong, received another WeChat from Xiaowen, still asking her mother Zeng Ying. However, there was an indescribable feeling of weirdness between the lines.
“Auntie, is mom alive?”
“Would you be sad if something happened to your mom?” Zeng Fang asked.
“Yes, if she dies, I will never live.”
Thinking that it could be that her niece’s psychological problems are getting more and more serious, Zeng Fang first gave some guidance to Xiaowen in WeChat and advised her to see a psychologist. As also busy with the matter at hand, Zeng Fang temporarily put the phone down.
An hour later, Zeng Fang picked up the phone, WeChat and Xiaowen has sent several messages one after another.
“Aunt, you talk to me.”
“I am very unhappy, you talk to me.”
“I don’t know what to do now.”
“Do you think I’m mentally ill?”
“I’ve done something very wrong, can you come back?”
Zeng Fang asked Xiaowen what she had done, but she didn’t answer, saying that she “regretted hitting her mother”.
“What kind of person is mom? Tell me about her, I want to know her story, her life.”
Zeng Fang didn’t know what to say. Several times she mentioned Xiaowen’s father, Kang Hanming, but Xiaowen didn’t pick up the conversation, instead using other words to digress.
“Aunt, I’m doing a lot of wrong things right now, over and over again, and I’m scared.”
Zeng Fang guessed that Xiaowen was referring to her scolding Zeng Ying, but always felt that something was wrong, so she asked her what she had done wrong.
After a while, Xiaowen replied, “I’m calling my mom now.”
This was also the last sentence on Xiaowen’s WeChat with Zeng Fang.

During the time when Zeng Fang was worried about her niece, Zeng Ying’s right eyelid always jumped and she always felt that something was pressing on her chest, making her breathless.
This typical Guangdong woman, hardworking and patient, came out to work early. 22 years old, she met Hunan worker Kang Hanming. The young man was gentle and white, and was also attracted to the quiet, virtuous Zeng Ying.
Kang Hanming family conditions are not good, when the marriage, the family did not contribute a penny a penny. Zeng Ying did not care about this, she felt that as long as Kang Hanming good hard-working, loving husband and wife, family life is plain, but also happy.
From love to marriage, the two have been good feelings, Kang Hanming is also very considerate, as the only son of a single lineage, Kang Hanming daughter Xiao Wen is also very fond of. So, even though her husband would always get angry about something as trivial as the water in the faucet being too big or the bathroom light being left on, Zeng Ying only thought that it was understandable that children of a bitter family were used to being frugal.
Xiaowen grew up and became more and more lively and active, and liked to sing and dance and play and fight with the boys. This personality made her the favorite of her teachers and the envy of her classmates from kindergarten to elementary school, and she was the star of all the cultural activities.
Xiaowen once told Zeng Ying that her favorite role was to play an angel – an angel is pure, beautiful, and can fly freely in the sky.
However, the family is quietly changing.
The couple took out the family’s savings to buy a second-hand pickup truck, and Kang Hanming took orders to help people pull goods, while Zeng Ying went to his brother’s store to help. 3 years later, the couple earned some money, and then replaced it with a large truck. However, not long after, Kang Hanming will be hooked on the lottery, even took the liberty to 30,000 yuan to sell the truck, plus the money borrowed, a total of more than 200,000, all invested in the lottery.
Of course, in the end, the money was lost.
Since then, Kang Hanming’s temper began to become irritable, often because of some trivial matters, it will be fist and foot against Zeng Ying. The traditional concept of Zeng Ying, think this kind of thing will happen in every family, also has been tolerated.
For his daughter, Xiaowen, Kang Hanming is not used to her “vivacity”, education methods become more and more violent: come home late, they will pull the daughter’s hair and scold; did not complete homework in time, the daughter’s head into the bucket filled with water choking, as a disciplinary measure; even, when he is angry, once his daughter returned the mouth, he will tie her hands and feet, and then use a collection of folding knives against the daughter. Then he held a folding knife against her throat and threatened, “If you don’t obey me, I’ll cut off your nose, cut off your tendons, and kill you!”
Seeing her husband become so tyrannical, Zeng Ying could only dote on her daughter and do whatever she wanted, hoping to make up for the impact on her. As she grew up, Xiaowen trusted and relied on her mother, Zeng Ying, but never took the initiative to talk to her father, Kang Hanming, and usually tried to avoid and hide from him.
Three hours before she killed her father
After Xiaowen was promoted to junior high school, Kang Hanming also found a job as a security guard.
Zeng Ying originally thought that her daughter would be more understanding, her husband would be more comfortable with a job, and the relationship between the family would improve as a result. But it was not to be. Not only did her husband’s temper not subside, but her adolescent daughter also began to fight back against her father’s scolding – from 2014, Xiaowen began to call the Women’s Federation or the police, but when she saw her father promise not to do it again in front of the police, but then return to his normal ways, she stopped avoiding him like she did in elementary school. Instead, she directly scolded her father back and hit him back.
In Zeng Ying’s opinion, in addition to the daughter and her father saber-rattling, also become capricious, rebellious, the requirements proposed must be met, otherwise it will be a big fight, tossing and turning. For example, to buy a cell phone must be iPhone, buy another cell phone will make a big fuss; for example, late at night she wants to eat something, it must be bought back to her.
Occasionally when Xiaowen was in a good mood, she would confide in Zeng Ying some of her teenage heart. Zeng Ying had thought: “It is better to block than to unblock, we can let our daughter try to fall in love, see if we can change her rebellious and capricious temperament ah.” With Zeng Ying’s support, Xiaowen fell in love with a boy in her class who had been chasing her, but not for a while, the two broke up again. Xiao Wen’s temper did not become milder as a result of falling in love, but rather seemed to replicate her father’s violence, and the confrontation between father and daughter became more intense.
In May 2016, Xiaowen dropped out of school, citing her dislike of her current school, teachers and classmates, and stayed home. Her sister, Zeng Fang, helped Xiaowen find several high schools, but they all went nowhere because she was dissatisfied. Kang Hanming was also fired two months ago due to his hot temper, and spends his days at home surfing the Internet and playing games.
During this period, Kang Hanming heard gossip from somewhere: “Xiaowen had an early love affair with another boy and got knocked up, and now she has had an abortion.” Zeng Ying did not believe it – her daughter would basically tell her everything, even her physiological cycle was clear to Zeng Ying. But Kang Hanming didn’t listen to Zeng Ying’s clarification and told the gossip to the neighbors.
This rumor, Xiaowen knows, she hatefully said to Zeng Ying: “Dad ruined my reputation, I will not let him go!” Zeng Ying had never seen Xiaowen so angry, and forced her to divorce Kang Hanming: “With him but not me, with me but not him!” When Zeng Ying did not comply, Xiaowen started to smash things in the house, until she forced Zeng Ying to kneel down and beat her up.
Zeng Ying approached Kang Hanming to see if she could get a temporary divorce to resolve the current situation. Kang Hanming, of course, could not agree, and in the argument, Zeng Ying received a beating from Kang Hanming’s old fists.
In June and July, the family fights constantly, helpless Zeng Ying chose to temporarily run away from home, she changed her cell phone number, cut off contact with Xiaowen, hoping that her daughter can calm down for a while. She and her husband have been keeping cell phone calls to understand and keep track of the family’s movements.
Zeng Ying, who had run away, had a vague feeling that something was going to happen. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public. “Who are you?” The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of services, including: “I have nothing to say”, “You can go!”
July 17, 12:00 noon, Zeng Ying cell phone rang, look at the husband Kang Hanming’s cell phone number, Zeng Ying hurried to answer. But unexpectedly, the voice of daughter Xiaowen came from the other end of the phone.
“Mom, where are you? I’m scared, you hurry home!” Xiaowen cried very hard.
“How did you use dad’s phone to call me?” .
“Mom, take a cab and come back quickly, I want to eat your cooking.” Xiaowen didn’t answer her words.
“Didn’t Daddy cook for you?” Zeng Ying asked.

More than 10 a.m. on July 17, 2016, Liu Xiaoyang and seven others arrived at the neighborhood where Xiaowen’s home was located. After confirming with Xiaowen’s WeChat contact, the group entered the neighborhood in groups of three and found Xiaowen’s house. Xiaowen had opened the door of her room and was waiting at the door.
“Where is everyone?” Liu Xiaoyang asked.
“He’s sleeping in his room.” Xiaowen replied in a whisper, and after looking across the door and upstairs and downstairs, handed a black stun gun to Liu Xiaoyang. Liu Xiaoyang and others tiptoed into the living room, and Xiaowen took another sharp-edged watermelon knife about 40 cm long from the living room coffee table and handed it to Liu Xiaoyang.
“Take this knife and stab him later.” Xiaowen said softly.
“Ah ah, don’t make a big deal out of it.” Liu Xiaoyang knew the consequences of stabbing someone with a knife, he didn’t want to get into trouble, so he hurriedly put the knife on the computer table next to him. Others have also said that they can not move the knife.
Xiaowen seemed a little disappointed, and after looking at Liu Xiaoyang, she pointed towards the bedroom where her father was sleeping, “It’s inside, you can do it.”
Looking in through the open bedroom door, there was a sleeping, topless man lying on his side on the wooden bed in the northeast corner of the room. After the courage, Liu Xiaoyang was the first to rush in, followed by several other people also entered the fish.
Kang Hanming lying on the bed was Liu Xiaoyang kicked in the back, and he woke up and wanted to turn around, did not react, heard “zhi” a few sounds, was Liu Xiaoyang with electric shock stick and a few electric shocks on the right shoulder.
At the same time, others rushed forward to lay on the bed of Kang Hanming a burst of punches and kicks.
“Don’t fight, don’t fight, I only have one daughter ……” Kang Hanming begged for mercy, probably thinking that the gang had the wrong person.
“Since you know you only have one daughter, yet you still treat her like this!” When Liu Xiaoyang and the others heard Kang Hanming say this, they got angry instead and gave Kang Hanming another punch and kick.
Xiaowen found a long nylon rope in another room and threw it to Liu Xiaoyang from outside the door. Liu Xiaoyang tied Kang Hanming’s hands and dragged him to the living room. Xiaowen then retrieved two T-shirts from her bedroom and handed them to another boy, indicating that one should be gagged and the other blindfolded.
Hiding in her bedroom, Xiao Wen listened to the sound of her father being beaten in the living room and felt a sense of pleasure. With so many boys to show their anger and courage for her, Xiaowen didn’t want to hide anymore, she wanted to do it herself to relieve her anger. She walked to the living room, handed Liu Xiaoyang a belt and asked him to tie Kang Hanming’s hands behind his back and tie his feet so that he would kneel on the floor.
After Liu Xiaoyang did so, he saw Xiaowen take out a short iron pipe from somewhere and hit Kang Hanming’s waist and back several times. After the fight, Xiaowen felt still not relieved, and again asked Liu Xiaoyang and others to stab Kang Hanming with a knife and cut his hamstring and hamstring.
“No, no, don’t make things bigger.” Liu Xiaoyang and others have refused. Look at the time has passed 11 o’clock, to help Xiaowen beat, teach his “stepfather” purpose has been achieved, Liu Xiaoyang and others decided to leave Xiaowen home.
After receiving 1,600 yuan from Xiaowen, Liu Xiaoyang and others hurriedly walked out of Xiaowen’s house in a flurry at Xiaowen’s request to punch and kick Kang Hanming again. When they were leaving, Liu Xiaoyang looked at Kang Hanming, who was still tied up on the ground, and at Xiaowen, who was trembling slightly, and was a bit uneasy.
“You also come with us, or later, when he gets up and gets off, he will definitely not spare you and will beat you.”
“You guys go first, I still have some things to take care of.” Xiaowen said.
At 11:30 a.m., a female resident went downstairs to go out and passed in front of Xiaowen’s house and noticed a puddle of red liquid, and when she bent down to take a closer look, it looked like fresh blood. She was terrified and rushed to the first floor to inform the female nanny who had taken care of Zhenying’s father.
The female nanny hurried upstairs, see this situation, “bang bang bang” loudly knocking on the door, loudly called Kang Hanming, Xiaowen’s name. See half a day in the house are not responding, female nannies rushed to call 110, and telephone notification of Zeng Ying, Zeng Han and other people.
When the female nanny called the police, Zeng Ying was lost in thought and rushed home in the bus.
Just received a phone call from her daughter Xiaowen, her heart is still incredibly warm, after all, a week or two have not seen.
But when Zeng Ying asked, “Daddy didn’t cook for you to eat?” , the answer that came from the phone was.
“I …… I killed my dad!”
After that, Zeng Ying, has been in a dazed state. When she rushed to the door, the police and brother Zeng Han has long arrived, is prying the door.
After prying open the security iron door and wooden door, the scene in the room to the police police stunned: living room, blood flowing all over the floor, a man tied hands and feet lying in a pool of blood ……
The police found a crying Xiaowen in the room, and Xiaowen pointed to the man on the floor of the living room and said to the police, “I killed Dad.”

“Why did you kill your father?” I asked after straightening my police uniform and straightening my body again.
“Because my father had a long history of domestic violence against me and my mother, and slandered me for having promiscuous sex with boys, and went around telling people that I was knocked up and had an abortion, making me unable to hold my head up in front of people, and I hated him!” Xiaowen’s voice was noticeably raised, and her previously uneasy, shy eyes were gone, but were instead filled with hatred.
“When did you get the urge to kill?” I asked.
“After Liu Xiaoyang and the others left, I sat on the sofa in the living room and watched my father unable to move, and I was relieved and scared. Before that, I planned to stab my dad with a knife after Liu Xiaoyang and his men tied him up and knocked him down. Thinking about what Liu Xiaoyang said when he left, Dad would certainly not let me go after he got up, but then I thought about what he did to me …… the more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, the more scared I was, so I thought I would simply kill my father, and then I would go jump to my death.”
“Killed your father, what tools were used?”
“Used the kitchen watermelon knife, kitchen knife, fruit knife, used the folding knife that dad usually collects, and also used the kitchen knife sharpening stone. Stabbed my dad in the chest, neck, stomach, and back with the watermelon knife, fruit knife, and folding knife, chopped his head, back, arms and legs with the kitchen knife, and finally smashed his head with the whetstone and killed him that way.”
When the other suspects explained the circumstances of the killings, they either had elevated tones and nervous speech, or their voices were low, weak, and full of guilt. Xiaowen, on the other hand, was calm when she explained the circumstances of these killings, as if she was communicating and speaking normally with someone.
“How many stabbings and cuts did your father make?”
“I don’t remember, when I got tired of stabbing, I sat down on the sofa to rest for a while, drank some drinks, tweeted to my aunt, and talked to my mother on the phone, and then continued until my hands had no more strength.”
Speaking of which, Xiaowen turned her eyes, which had been looking at me, to the floor, with a chilling light in them.
“How did your father commit domestic violence against you?” After a few seconds of silence, I continued to ask.
“My father started beating me when I was in elementary school, often threatening to cut my hamstrings, to cut my nose off, to throw me out the window and kill me by slitting my throat with a knife …… He sometimes played pornographic video discs in the house and he didn’t avoid me when I was home; even sometimes when I was home, he walked out naked to his bedroom to change his clothes after taking a shower in the bathroom ……”
When it comes to these, Xiaowen has obviously not as calm as just now, but her voice began to tremble, her expression became more and more indignant, and her emotions became more and more intense until she lost her voice and cried.
“Then why did you beat mom and force her to kneel?”
“Because when dad was domestic violence against me, mom either didn’t dare to control it or couldn’t persuade dad. I just want to stay away from dad forever, so I want mom to divorce dad, but mom can’t do it, I lost control of my emotions, so I beat mom and forced her to kneel down. I really had no way out. I kept hearing that puffer fish is highly poisonous, and I even went to the market and bought three puffer fish, took them home and cooked them and ate them, trying to kill myself, but which I knew didn’t work at all.”
“Why did you tell Aja and Liu Xiaoyang that Kang Hanming was your stepfather?”
“Because I think that my real father would not treat me like my father, he does not deserve to be my real father. In addition, saying that it is a stepfather, more stimulate their sympathy, more willing to help me, right ……”
A few interrogations down, Xiaowen and I have become somewhat acquainted. Later, talking about the life of the detention center, Xiaowen said, at first was not used to, but then the correctional aunt to her special concern, “the other day the cultural performance I also performed a dance and recitation it!” Speaking of this, her face was also significantly more radiant than before.
“Uncle can you help bring some books to me?”
“What kind of books do you like to read?”
“I usually like to read Yu Hua’s books, and now I want to read his ‘Alive’. Also I saw in the prison barn that the newspaper was introducing and promoting a book called “The Ferryman” and I would like to read it.”
After this, we also went to find out from Xiaowen’s neighbors and teachers, and they all felt sorry for her. In the mind of Ms. Qin, Xiaowen’s junior high school homeroom teacher, Xiaowen had always been a good kid who got good grades and loved reading literature.
“If it wasn’t for domestic violence, she could have gotten into some of the best high schools.” Teacher Qin sighed, “I didn’t think Xiaowen would be ruined like this.”

Before the case was transferred to the prosecutor’s office for review and prosecution, I arraigned Xiaowen again.
“How do you think all parties should be held responsible in the case where you killed your father?”
“I should bear 30% of the blame myself, my father 30%, my mother 30%, and society 10%.” This answer from Xiaowen actually made me unable to argue.
“Do you regret killing your father?”
In fact, I hoped that Xiaowen would answer that she regretted it, because the Criminal Law provides for a lighter penalty for showing remorse.
Xiaowen lowered her head, and after a few seconds of silence, she raised her head again and said, “I killed my father, I broke the law, I did something wrong, my father was born to my grandparents, I had no right to take away his life, I am sorry to my grandparents. But who is my father to do this to me? It’s already happened, and it can’t be undone, and I have nothing to regret.”
“Do you have any good impressions or memories of your father other than the impression of domestic violence against you?”
“When I was little and rode on his shoulders, he bought me Ultraman dolls and he said I would have been better off as a boy; when I was in first grade, I was once bullied by a boy in my class and he personally came to the class and asked the boy to kneel down and apologize to me in front of the teacher and the boy’s mother.”
“Did the boy get down on his knees?” I tugged at the buttons of my collar and chest, trying to loosen the shirt around my chest.
“He got down on his knees. Then the boy transferred to another school.”
“Have you thought about what to do after that?”
“I’ve thought about it. I wish I could serve my time in prison. Read more books, learn to write, and maybe become a writer when I get out of prison. I hope to learn to dance here, because I loved to dance when I was a kid, and I used to play little angels when I was a kid! I hope I can become a dancer after I get out of prison ……”
At this moment, I vaguely saw a shining light in Xiaowen’s eyes, I don’t know if it was the light of her tears or the light of hope.
Epilogue
In the end, Xiaowen was sentenced to 13 years. Liu Xiaoyang and others were not aware that Xiaowen was going to kill as well as not directly involved in the killing before the crime, so after a month of criminal detention, they were legally released from custody and transferred to public security punishment.
