One night in 1940, a crying lady suddenly stumbled into the camp of the New Fourth Army. She knelt down in front of Commander Luo Binghui, tears welling up in her eyes: "Commander Luo, one of your soldiers raped my daughter, and also killed my brother and son! That murderer has an obvious lump on his buttocks... The eldest mother's painful cry made the hearts of everyone present tug. Luo Binghui hurriedly helped the eldest lady up, and said solemnly: "Auntie, please rest assured, if it is really my soldier's doing, we will definitely investigate thoroughly to the end and will not tolerate it." But what is the hell going on in this heinous case, and who is the murderer?
What happened to Aunt Ma's family
Aunt Ma's family originally lived an ordinary and stable life, but suffered a huge change overnight. Aunt Ma's daughter Qiu Fang is a beautiful girl, and she is old enough to get married. Aunt Ma was worried about finding a good family for her daughter, but Qiu Fang refused to be introduced by her mother, on the grounds that she already had a heart.
It turned out that Qiu Fang had a crush on Wang Jiming, the platoon commander of the New Fourth Army stationed in the village. Wang Jiming is honest and brave, with extraordinary skills and heroic appearance, which naturally fascinates many girls and children. Qiu Fang is one of them, every time she sees Wang Jiming from afar, her heart will pound, and a sweet smile will bloom on her face.
Aunt Ma was also quite relieved to learn of her daughter's sweetheart. As a soldier, Wang Jiming has good conduct and a bright future, and he is indeed a good candidate. So, Aunt Ma asked the matchmaker next door to tell Qiu Fang, hoping to make the two get married as soon as possible.
Who knows, Wang Jiming politely declined the matchmaker's proposal. He explained that he is still young and has no plans to start a family for the time being. When Qiu Fang learned the news, she was heartbroken and washed her face with tears every night.
At this moment, a person claiming to be Wang Jiming began to appear in Qiu Fang's room. By the moonlight, Qiu Fang saw that the man was wearing a military uniform and a military hat, although he couldn't see it really, she still wishfully thought that Wang Jiming had changed his mind and came to her. The man quickly climbed onto Qiu Fang's bed and moved his hands and feet to her feet. Although Qiu Fang was a little uneasy, because she had always had a crush on Wang Jiming, and thought that the other party might be testing herself, she let that person do whatever she wanted.
Since then, the man who identified himself as Wang Jiming has been visiting every night. Qiu Fang thought that she was going to marry her sweetheart and grow old with him, but she never thought that a tragedy was quietly approaching.
One day, Qiu Fang's uncle came from afar to visit relatives. Aunt Ma let her uncle and Qiu Fang's younger brother live in Qiu Fang's room. Although Qiu Fang was a little reluctant, she still obeyed her mother's arrangement and slept in the same room with Aunt Ma.
Who knows, early the next morning, there was a heart-rending cry from Aunt Ma's house. When the neighbors arrived, they saw that Qiu Fang's uncle and younger brother had fallen in a pool of blood and died of exhaustion. Only then did Qiu Fang tell all about what happened in the past few nights, and identified the murderer as the person who claimed to be Wang Jiming. When the villagers heard this, they all decided that the murderer was undoubtedly Wang Jiming of the New Fourth Army.
In the face of such a tragedy, Aunt Ma was grief-stricken, but she did not give up. Accompanied by the villagers, she staggered to the station of the New Fourth Army, knelt down in front of the commander Luo Binghui, accused Wang Jiming of his crimes, and wanted to seek justice for her family.
Law Binghui launched an investigation
Aunt Ma's cry was like a hammer, hitting Luo Binghui's heart fiercely. As the commander of the New Fourth Army, he has always had 100 percent trust in the discipline of the troops. If it is really as Aunt Ma said, there are soldiers who commit such a serious crime, it is really embarrassing.
Luo Binghui immediately decided that the case must be thoroughly investigated and will not be tolerated. He immediately summoned the identified murderer, Wang Jiming, to the case. Wang Jiming was dressed in a military uniform and was heroic and upright, and he didn't look like a person who would commit such a crime.
In the face of Commander Luo's questioning, Wang Jiming did not flinch and bluntly said that he was completely innocent. He said that a few days ago, Aunt Ma did ask someone to come to him to talk to him and wanted to marry her daughter Qiu Fang. But he politely refused, because the army was strictly disciplined, and soldiers were not allowed to start a family at will.
"Besides, I've never been to Madamian's house, let alone raped and murdered. Wang Jiming said confidently, "Aunt Ma pointed out that I have a pimple on my buttocks, that is also nonsense, how can I have any pimples?"
Luo Binghui looked at Wang Jiming's frank expression and couldn't help but be a little shaken. He asked Wang Jiming's comrades-in-arms to be found, hoping to find out Wang Jiming's whereabouts the night before.
Sure enough, the company commander and several soldiers testified for Wang Jiming, saying that he did have a meeting at the company headquarters that night, and then went directly back to the dormitory to rest and never left the camp. One veteran even said that he had not slept at the time, and they chatted a few words when Wang Jiming returned.
Luo Binghui fell into deep thought. According to the style of the New Fourth Army, it is necessary to inspect shops and sentry posts in the middle of the night, and it is not an easy task to go out for several nights without being discovered. Coupled with the strange description of "pimples on the buttocks" in Aunt Ma's mouth, Luo Binghui began to wonder if someone was pretending to be a member of the New Fourth Army to do evil?
So, he immediately ordered the entire battalion to be thoroughly inspected to see if anyone had lost anything like a military uniform or a hat. Sure enough, it was soon reported that one of the soldiers of the second company had lost his uniform, and the hat of another soldier had also disappeared inexplicably.
Luo Binghui had a bottom in his heart, and he decided to set a trap to catch the real murderer. The next day, he deliberately let out the news that the murderer had been arrested and that a trial meeting would be held that night.
Sure enough, as soon as the news spread, the people of the whole village were restless. They all want to see with their own eyes which evil animal is actually a wolf with ambition and murder. However, when it was time for the trial that night, Luo Binghui spread the news that the trial meeting would be postponed to the next day.
But at the same time, he secretly informed Aunt Ma, Qiu Fang and the matchmaker next door that they would be there tonight. After everything was ready, Luo Binghui made a look, made the mayor stand up, and said mysteriously: "The murderer of Qiu Fang's uncle and younger brother has been caught, and he is—"
At this moment when the mayor paused, there was a sudden sound of rustling outside the door. Luo Binghui glanced at the soldiers guarding the door, and the soldiers immediately opened the door, only to see a person fall in, held down by several soldiers, and tied up.
Truth
The person who was tied in was obviously a young man, with a look of embarrassment, obviously not expecting to fall into such a field. Luo Binghui stared at him and slowly asked, "What's your name, why did you sneak here?"
The young man was at a loss and didn't know how to answer. Seeing this, Luo Binghui frowned, and said coldly: "You'd better be honest, otherwise don't blame us for being polite!"
The young man was stunned by Luo Binghui's momentum, lowered his head, and muttered in a low voice: "I... My name is Zhang San, and I'm from the next village... I just heard that the murderer was going to be tried tonight, and in a moment of curiosity, I slipped in... ＂
"Oh, just curious?" Luo Binghui sneered, "Then why did you sneak in? Also, why do you have a lump of flesh on your ass?"
The young man was stunned, and then his face changed greatly, obviously being told by Luo Binghui. He kept his head down and was silent.
Seeing this, Luo Binghui glanced at his subordinates. Several fighters understood, and stepped forward to pick the young man's pants. When the young man saw this, he cried out in a panic: "What are you going to do? I am innocent!"
"Innocent, let's see if you have a lump!" The soldiers were unceremonious, and ripped off the young man's pants, only to see that there was indeed a hard lump of flesh on his right buttocks.
"Look, we're right," Luo Binghui said coldly, "Now, you'd better explain the truth clearly, otherwise don't blame us for being polite!"
Seeing this, the young man lowered his head, and finally beckoned: "Yes... It was I who killed Mada's family... But it was a complete accident... ＂
It turned out that this young man's name was Zhang San, and he was the son of the matchmaker in the next village. A few days ago, he learned from his mother that Qiu Fang, the daughter of Ma Da Niang's family, was raped and killed by her relatives, and the murderer will be tried tonight. Curious, he sneaked into the venue to see who was so unlucky, but he was caught by the trap set by Luo Binghui.
Zhang San confessed that in those few nights, he did pretend to be a soldier of the New Fourth Army and sneaked into Qiu Fang's room. He originally had a crush on Qiu Fang and wanted to take the opportunity to get close to her. It's just that he didn't expect that one night, he touched a bearded man on Qiu Fang's bed. Jealous for a while, he decided that Qiu Fang was a water-based poplar and betrayed his feelings. So, he sneaked in again the next night, picked up a kitchen knife, and slashed at the two people on the bed.
"I... I was so impulsive that I didn't think about it that much... Zhang San said in a low voice, "I just wanted to punish Qiu Fang's betrayal, but I didn't expect it to cause such a catastrophe... ＂
After the truth was revealed, Zhang San was punished by the law. Although Aunt Ma was heartbroken, she finally sought justice for her family. As for Wang Jiming, he completely cleared his suspicions and proved his innocence.
The case was satisfactorily resolved
Zhang San's confession finally brought this outrageous case to light. Luo Binghui immediately handed Zhang San over to military justice, where there were special courts and prisons, which were enough to give him the punishment he deserved.
For Aunt Ma's family, although the death of their relatives made them heartbroken, at least the murderer has been punished, and their grievances have finally been revealed. Although Aunt Ma is old, she still gritted her teeth and insisted on seeking justice for her dead relatives.
Accompanied by the villagers, Aunt Ma came to the scene of military justice. She looked at Zhang San who was escorted out, her eyes were full of anger and unwillingness. Zhang San lowered his head, embarrassed.
"You guy, you are a wolf with ambition and murder! My good brother and good son died in your hands like this!" Aunt Ma pointed at Zhang San and roared hoarsely.
"Auntie, I know it's wrong... I was so impulsive and did something stupid... Zhang San said in a low voice, "I never thought it would cause such a catastrophe... I am willing to accept the punishment!"
"Hmph, what's the use of you talking about this now? My family is gone forever!" Aunt Ma held her head in her hands and cried bitterly.
Seeing this, Luo Binghui stepped forward to support Aunt Ma and comforted: "Auntie, you must mourn." Although the family has passed away, the murderer has been punished, and your grievances have finally been revealed. You should be thankful for your deceased loved ones. ＂
Aunt Ma choked and nodded, she knew that Commander Luo's words were very reasonable.
Next, it is the process of Zhang San's trial. For his crimes, the Judge Advocate General sentenced him to 15 years' imprisonment and heavy damages to punish him.
For Wang Jiming, this unjust case is undoubtedly a major blow. As a soldier, he has made great contributions to the country and the people, and should be respected and loved. But because of this unjust case, his reputation was seriously slandered for a time, which made him feel ashamed and ashamed.
Fortunately, in the end, the truth was revealed, and his innocence was completely washed away. At the scene of Zhang San's trial, Luo Binghui specially asked Wang Jiming to also be present and apologize to him in public, admitting that it was his own negligence that made him suffer such a major grievance.
"Platoon Commander Wang, you are the hero of the New Fourth Army, and we are really guilty of slandering you. Luo Binghui said sincerely, "I hope you can forgive us for our negligence, and we will continue to contribute to the cause of the people in the future." ＂
Wang Jiming nodded, he knew that this was already Commander Luo's greatest sincerity. As a soldier, he doesn't care about these things, but hopes that he can be careful in the future to avoid such a painful unjust case again.
In this way, this murder case that shocked the whole village finally came to an end. The murderer was duly punished, and Mrs. Ma's family finally got justice for their relatives. As for Wang Jiming, although he was wronged for a time, he finally cleared his suspicion and proved his innocence.
