"Maybe there will be another chance like this, maybe I can endure it again, maybe they can stop, they can stop beating me"
Beaten inexplicably by a group of strangers in the middle of the night, the guy took out a fruit knife in a hurry to defend himself.
Unexpectedly, due to the chaos of the scene, the young man accidentally killed two of them.
In the courtroom, the young man was unable to hold back on his remorse, crying and reflecting on how he should have endured the beating of others.
But the family of the deceased was aggressive, and even opened their mouths to ask for a sky-high compensation of 5.26 million.
A sudden chaos, two people died and one was imprisoned, what happened to what happened?
Accidentally beaten
In the early morning of October 11, 2014, the Beijing police received a special call from the police.
The person on the phone was a young man who said he had turned himself in on the call.
The guy said that he was a student at a university in Beijing, and he accidentally injured two classmates in the chaos, and now the life and death of the classmates are uncertain.
The police immediately drove to the school, and then an ambulance arrived at the scene of the crime.
Seeing the police arrive, the young man who called stood up on his own.
And the two injured people in his mouth were also rushed to the hospital.
The young man who turned himself in was named Liu Zhenzhi, and when the ambulance left, he also followed the police to the police station without saying a word.
At this time, Liu Zhenzhi didn't know that his life was about to change dramatically because of this night.
Soon Liu Zhenzhi came to the court with the family of the deceased, and then Liu Zhenzhi learned that the two classmates had died because of their serious injuries.
Liu Zhenzhi bowed and apologized to the family of the deceased over and over again, saying that he really blamed himself and regretted it.
"I'm sorry for making you suffer so much because of me"
But in addition to apologizing, Liu Zhenzhi felt that he was also aggrieved.
The introverted Liu Zhenzhi has no friends at school, and his extracurricular life is relatively simple.
In addition to going to class, eating and sleeping every day, he basically does not participate in other recreational activities.
The night before the incident, Liu Zhenzhi had gone to bed early.
But at about one o'clock in the morning on October 11, Liu Zhenzhi was suddenly woken up by a knock on the door.
The roommates were all asleep, and only Liu Zhenzhi himself heard the sound.
Just as he hesitated to open the door, the noise outside the door suddenly disappeared.
So Liu Zhenzhi thought that someone else had found the wrong dormitory.
But it didn't take long for the door of Liu Zhenzhi's dormitory to be kicked open, and then Liu Zhenzhi, who was not fully awake, was dragged out of bed by a group of strangers.
Liu Zhenzhi didn't even know who these people were, so he was suddenly beaten.
Slowly, more and more people beat Liu Zhenzhi, led by a chubby boy, who shouted some unclean words in his mouth.
Liu Zhenzhi was completely stunned, and at this time, someone suddenly threw the quilt on Liu Zhenzhi's bed into the corridor of the dormitory.
And that person also said that if you have the ability, Liu Zhenzhi will come out, don't hide in the dormitory and don't move.
Although Liu Zhenzhi didn't know what was going on, the instinct of his brain and body made him feel a fruit knife in a panic.
Then Liu Zhenzhi followed the group out.
Liu Zhenzhi didn't expect that what happened next would make him regret it for the rest of his life.
A mess
"I couldn't help it, I started swinging a knife"
"In which position did you start swinging the knife, why can't you help it?"
"It hurts so much"
"How does it hurt?"
"It hurts to be beaten"
This is a conversation between Liu Zhenzhi and the prosecutor in court.
In court, the prosecutor pressed and induced step by step, and the family of the deceased also believed that Liu Zhenzhi was intentional homicide.
Facing the abuser who had died under his knife, Liu Zhenzhi felt bitter but couldn't say it.
Behind the dull gaze is a regret of impulsiveness and a reproach for one's own patience.
That night, after following the crowd out, Liu Zhenzhi was beaten again before he could react.
At the time, his roommate also tried to pull the rack, but unexpectedly failed.
At that time, Liu Zhenzhi felt aggrieved and powerless.
He didn't know this group of people, let alone how this group of people came to his dormitory in the middle of the night, and even came to beat him.
There were more and more fists falling on his body, and Liu Zhenzhi, who was on the verge of collapse, finally broke out.
He waved the fruit knife in his hand indiscriminately, and he couldn't see who was on the other side at all, and he didn't know who he had stabbed several times.
Liu Zhenzhi seemed to have lost his mind, as long as anyone standing in front of him was injured by the fruit knife in his hand.
It wasn't until Liu Zhenzhi saw the two boys in front of him fall straight down that he hurriedly threw the fruit knife in his hand on the ground.
Looking at the two people on the ground motionless, Liu Zhenzhi realized that he had caused a big disaster, and he might even have caused a fatality.
Liu Zhenzhi reacted violently and quickly called his parents.
In the middle of the night, Liu Zhenzhi's parents learned that their son had hurt someone, as if they had woken up from a nightmare.
But instead of teaching their son to escape, they told him to call the police and bravely bear the consequences of doing something wrong.
Although Liu Zhenzhi is usually introverted, he also knows this truth.
After reporting to the police, Liu Zhenzhi sat quietly in the dormitory, waiting for the arrival of the police.
The classmates who had been watching the excitement had all dispersed, leaving only two boys lying in a pool of blood in the corridor.
At this time, Liu Zhenzhi's heart did not panic, he knew that it was the other party who moved his hand on him first, and he injured someone with a fruit knife, which was legitimate defense.
But after being taken away by the police, Liu Zhenzhi, who was sitting in the courtroom, listened to the prosecutor's aggressive questioning, and he himself began to be in a trance.
The prosecutor has been pressuring Liu Zhenzhi to ask about the details of the incident, and Liu Zhenzhi told him truthfully.
But in the eyes of the prosecutor, Mr. Liu seemed to be evading responsibility.
Mr. Liu said he did not know the people who had come to beat him.
The prosecutor then began to ask rhetorically in a strong tone, asking Liu Zhenzhi if he really didn't know them?
The prosecutor's clear partiality made Liu Zhenzhi feel unfair, but it was indeed his own knife that killed someone.
Even if Liu Zhenzhi had a good and legitimate reason, he could not justify the fact of the killing.
He said that he was sleeping in the dormitory, but he was suddenly dragged to the corridor and beaten for no reason, he felt that he was wronged, and he also hoped that he could get a light sentence.
When the young Liu Zhenzhi appealed in court and said his request, the family members of the deceased began to weep bitterly, vigorously accusing Liu Zhenzhi of not doing so.
"He can't beat you as soon as he enters, I understand my own child, you were wielding a knife at that time, why did the knife pierce the vital point, why are you so ruthless?"
The family of the deceased burst into tears, but she forgot that the surveillance video clearly recorded that it was her son who first started and beat others as an abuser.
They insisted that Liu Zhenzhi had injured his child's fatal wounds, so he must have done it on purpose.
They even felt that Liu Zhenzhi's apology was not sincere at all.
Liu Zhenzhi could only explain palely that at that time, he didn't know who he was stabbing, where he stabbed him, and how many times he stabbed him.
He didn't even know the group of people in front of him.
But Liu Zhenzhi's words, in the eyes of the deceased's family, are trying to clear their name.
And they also said that Liu Zhenzhi was lying, and he actually knew the deceased.
What is the intersection between Liu Zhenzhi and the two deceased?
It's hard to justify
Mr. Liu's school provided the police with a very blurry surveillance video.
The approximate content of the video is that on the afternoon of the day before the crime, Wang, one of the deceased, was taking a physical test in the playground, while Liu Zhenzhi was running slowly on the side of the track.
The two men didn't seem to have much in common.
In the account of the deceased's family, it was Liu Zhenzhi who accidentally bumped into Wang later, causing Wang to be injured.
Although Liu Zhenzhi apologized to Wang, in the evening, Wang had dinner with his friends and told the incident again.
When the half-grown son was talking about righteousness, Wang's friend Lin felt that he couldn't just let Liu Zhenzhi go, so after drinking in the middle of the night, he took a group of people to support Wang.
The family of the deceased did not realize that it was their children who went to trouble Liu Zhenzhi first.
Their eyes are focused on Liu Zhenzhi's injury to his child, so the source of all problems is still Liu Zhenzhi.
For what happened, Liu Zhenzhi's parents said it was difficult to accept.
Their son was very introverted since he was a child, let alone a murderer, and he didn't even speak out loud.
Liu Zhenzhi's former classmates also said that Liu Zhenzhi was not good at words when he was in middle school, but he was very kind and almost never had conflicts with others.
If it weren't for being forced to be anxious, or if the other party really threatened his personal safety, Liu Zhenzhi would not have done such a thing.
Faced with the questioning and accusations of the deceased's family, Liu Zhenzhi slowly voiced his doubts.
"They hurt me, they sometimes jump up to hit me in the head, it's not an injury, is it? Is it minor?"
Liu Zhenzhi was frantically beaten by a group of people, and it was only by desperately defending himself that he was made to stop.
He did not take the initiative to stab and hurt the other party, but instinctively defended himself in the face of violence.
It's a stress response, and wielding a fruit knife in the chaos is also instinctive.
Liu Zhenzhi did not deliberately provoke an incident, and the beating he received at the beginning was also passively accepted.
But whether it was the prosecutor or the family of the deceased, they all put the fault on Liu Zhenzhi alone.
epilogue
The family of the deceased was understandably overly emotional.
But the prosecutor, who was supposed to stand in a fair and just position, brought his own private emotions with him in the process of questioning Liu Zhenzhi, which obviously violated professional ethics.
In March 2016, Liu Zhenzhi was sentenced by the court to 15 years in prison and was required to pay about 100,000 yuan in compensation to the deceased's family.
Liu Zhenzhi should have had a good youth, but because of such an unwarranted disaster, he can no longer have a peaceful life.
