Chapter 265 No Evidence, No Conviction
Chapter 265 No Evidence, No Conviction
As soon as he finished speaking, many villagers had a look of fear in their eyes and began to talk in low voices.
"Alas, we didn't find the murderer back then because we were afraid that the family was holding too much resentment, so we used this method to suppress their resentment. I didn't expect that the ghost would linger."
"The death of Shi Quande's family was indeed tragic, but we can't let him drag us down like this!"
"..."
Hearing the villagers' discussions, one of them began to sweat profusely.
"Master Bai, is there any way to solve this problem?" the young man asked with a puzzled look.
Bai Ningyu curled the corners of her mouth and fixed her gaze on the person who was silently wiping his sweat.
Then she said calmly, "Solving this is easy. Find the murderer and appease the family's resentment. Once the resentment is gone, the grave can be moved naturally."
[This is probably not easy. After so many years, normally, if the murderer hadn't blown himself up, this case would be unsolvable.]
[Don't panic, don't we have an anchor? No matter if it's an unsolved case or a mystery, once the anchor takes action, he's sure to be invincible.]
[Yeah, look at my brain, how could I forget about the anchor! It's not just Uncle Hat and the detective who can solve the case, but also our almighty anchor!]
Criminal Police Team [So, host, do you know the murderer of that family-annihilation case?]
At this time, the villagers also became agitated.
Bai Ningyu took a sip of tea, stared at the person on the screen, and said, "Yes, the murderer is among these people at the scene."
Maori-san [There's only one truth, so the murderer is... Hey, host, who is the murderer? Announce the answer quickly!]
[Oh my god, the guy upstairs, why do your lines sound so familiar to me? ]
I thought you knew who the murderer was, but after all this time, you still have to ask the host.
[Hey, host, stop keeping me in suspense. Who is this murderer?]
When the villagers heard what Bai Ningyu said, they looked at each other with caution and suspicion. After glancing at the people around them, they all kept a distance from the people around them.
After all, he was a demon who killed three people overnight. If such a vicious person appeared next to you, you must be on guard.
Who knows what terrible things this person will do after being exposed.
Bai Ningyu looked at the netizens who were eager to learn, and she didn't hide it anymore. Instead, she said directly: "This person is the village chief."
"What!?"
"That murderer is actually the village chief!"
In an instant, the villagers present were in an uproar. They looked at the village chief in front of them with vigilance and their expressions began to change.
Even the young man next to him tightened his grip on his phone and took a few steps back when he heard this.
At this time, some villagers responded: "I remember that the person who proposed to build a stone tomb for this family was the village chief!"
At this time, someone else echoed the sentiment: "At that time, for some reason, rumors began to spread in the village that Shi Quande's family had died a violent death and would definitely become evil spirits to harm the village.
If I remember correctly, this rumor was also spread by the village chief's wife!"
"But why did the village chief want to kill Shi Quande's family?"
The village chief's entire body began to tremble slightly, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "Nonsense! You are slandering me. What evidence do you have to prove that I was the one who killed Shi Quande's family?"
Bai Ningyu touched the white tiger cub whose head rested on her lap and said, "The slogan of 'no newborns for 100 days' was coined by your father, the previous village chief, right?"
After hearing this, the villagers gradually understood: "Yes, the old village chief was praised by his superiors for this matter! Could it be that..."
The village chief's forehead was covered with sweat, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Don't believe what this woman says. She's a liar who's full of lies!"
But it is obvious that the villagers now have developed doubts about the village chief that are difficult to eliminate.
The expressions on their faces clearly showed that they did not believe what the village chief said.
Bai Ningyu ignored the exasperated village chief and continued, "Shi Quande's wife was about to give birth, and because he had learned some Kung Fu from a monk when he was young, the people in the village committee had no way to deal with him.
Seeing that his father's boasts could not be fulfilled, if he were to be held accountable, not only would he be criticized, but he would even lose his position as village chief.
Being the head of a village back then was quite a feat. One could gain some benefits from it and be respected by the villagers.
So he naturally couldn't just watch his father being dismissed from his job.
So, at that time, the young village chief had the intention to kill. Since Shi Quande was a drunkard, he took advantage of the night when Shi Quande drank too much and quietly sneaked into Shi Quande's home.
He killed Shi Quande while he was sleeping, and also slit the throat of the pregnant woman who was awakened. He even did not spare the five-year-old child in another room.
He was a college student and knew some of the criminal investigation techniques available at the time, so he erased the traces of his break-in, wiped off his fingerprints, and went to the river that night to wash off the blood on his body.
He also burned the clothes on his body, so he escaped the disaster that year."
"What you said is just your one-sided statement. Do you have any substantial evidence to prove that I killed Shi Quande and his family?" The village chief thought about it. All the evidence had been destroyed by him. Even if Bai Ningyu knew that she had killed Shi Quande, what would it matter?
As long as there is no evidence, everything is just wishful thinking. If you refuse to admit it, the police will not be able to convict you.
I have to say that the village chief has studied this aspect of the law very thoroughly.
Bai Ningyu looked at the village chief and fell silent. As for evidence, it seemed there really was none...
In the live broadcast room, netizens were outraged upon seeing this.
[This old man dares to be so arrogant. It seems that he has completely destroyed all the evidence.]
[No, there's something wrong with him!]
[As mentioned above, even if you know someone has killed someone, as long as there is no evidence, they cannot be convicted. Furthermore, there is a legal saying that "innocent until proven guilty."]
[Fuck the presumption of innocence. I only know that killing someone means paying with one's life. Without evidence, am I just going to watch this murderer, who committed such a heinous crime, go unpunished?]
【Don't worry, let's see what the host says. 】
For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Bai Ningyu.
