1. The prequel to "The King of Rags"
Xiong Zhenlin was born in an enviable family. His mother was a primary school teacher in the village, and his father worked as a blacksmith in the Luoyang Town Handicraft Association. The family had non-agricultural household registration, which was very rare in rural areas at that time. rare. Xiong Zhenlin has three older brothers, and he is the fourth, so everyone calls him "Xiong Si".
However, there are countless sad stories behind this seemingly good life.
In the 1970s, Xiong Zhenlin’s mother, Zhan Hongying, remarried Xiong Daying with her three sons because her husband committed suicide by throwing herself into a lake. Within a few years, she gave birth to Xiong Zhenlin. The Xiong family is the third generation of the Xiong family. When he was a child, Xiong Zhenlin was naturally doted on by his parents, and he developed the habit of often yelling at his parents.
As for her parents, on the one hand, they work in two places, and on the other hand, Zhan Hongying is much higher than her husband Xiong Daying in terms of education and personal ability. As a result, the relationship between the couple is not harmonious and they have been separated for a long time. .
Zhan Hongying later said in an interview with reporters that Xiong Zhenlin was very lonely when he was a child. His three brothers were much older than him, and they all worked or studied outside. He rarely saw his father, and his relationship with his mother was average. After the accident, Zhan Hongying regretted that she gave him too little love when she was a child.
After going to school, Xiong Zhenlin was smart and lively, and his grades were very good, but he was very pushy, saying weird words and doing funny things to attract others' attention. The most important thing is that when he gets along with his classmates, he shows a strong sense of revenge and is not willing to suffer at all. He is not generally competitive.
In 1991, 17-year-old Xiong Zhenlin was admitted to Suizhou Technical School, but he was expelled from the school for fighting after only one year of schooling. This incident also revealed his violent side. Later, Xiong Zhenlin left his mother and went to his father, Xiong Daying. At that time, Xiong Daying opened a waste recycling station in Luoyang Town, China. Although it was a small business, it was still a success.
Unexpectedly, in just three years, his father passed away due to tuberculosis , and now Xiong Zhenlin was left alone. Although Xiong Zhenlin is not financially wealthy, he is a diligent and hard-working person. Perhaps because of this, the other half of his life, Liu Jihua, appeared.
Liu Jihua was introduced to Xiong Zhenlin. After getting along for about a year, the two got married. After getting married, in order to make their life better, the couple tried driving a motorcycle in Wuhan and selling shoes in Luoyang Town. After struggling for three years, they decided to return to their old business and continue to operate a scrap station.
Xiong Zhenlin relied on his integrity in business, reasonable prices, and quick brain response, and his business gradually improved.
In 2003, Xiong Zhenlin’s opportunity came. The "Hanshi Expressway" from Wuhan to Shiyan was built in Luoyang Town. For a time, there were a lot of leftover steel bars and rags on the construction site. Many people in the town ran to pick them up and sold them to Xiong Zhenlin. You know, when you buy these things, they cost seven or eight cents a pound, and when you sell them, they cost tens of dollars a piece. The price difference is several times.
In 2005, Xiong Zhenlin and his scrap collection station became more and more famous in the town. He was also a face-saving person, so he bought several acres of land and built a beautiful two-story western-style building. He also purchased He bought two houses and a house and boasted that he had a fortune of "millions"!
2. After getting married and going bankrupt, a series of blows distorted his heart.
After getting rich, his wife Liu Jihua felt that Xiong Zhenlin had changed. He began to domestically abuse Liu Jihua, and the beatings became more and more fierce, and even beat his wife to the hospital. Liu Jihua was unable to have children due to his own reasons. The lack of children made the relationship between the couple even more tense. In the end, Liu Jihua adopted a girl, but Xiong Zhenlin always wanted a son and once said that he would buy a son even if he spent money.
What really worsened their relationship was that Xiong Zhenlin was flirting with women outside and had an affair with the widow Zhu Deqing, often staying out at night.
This matter soon reached Liu Jihua’s ears. She was furious and filed for divorce. However, because the child was still young, the court intervened and the divorce was not finalized.
Not long after, the matter of divorce was brought up again, this time by Xiong Zhenlin. It is said that Zhu Deqing agreed to give him a child, so in September 2008, Xiong Zhenlin and his ex-wife officially divorced.
After the divorce, Xiong Zhenlin’s new two-story building was awarded to his ex-wife, and he also had to pay tens of thousands of yuan in alimony to his daughter. Liu Jihua opened a scrap collection station in the two-story courtyard. Next door is Xiong Zhenlin's scrap station.
The couple who once fought side by side turned into competitors overnight. This made Xiong Zhenlin hate this woman to death. He hated this woman who had followed him, accompanied him, and worked hard with him when he had nothing. At this time The idea of revenge gradually came into his mind.
His ex-wife had received threats from Xiong Zhenlin more than once: "Sooner or later you will die in my hands." Liu Jihua was so frightened that he quickly reported the matter to the police station.
Misfortunes never come singly, and the scrap industry is beginning to be in recession. Due to the sharp drop in the purchase price of waste products, the original waste cartons dropped from 40 to 50 cents to 15 cents, which greatly affected Xiong Zhenlin's business. After the divorce, Xiong Zhenlin's financial resources were greatly damaged. He had to borrow money from everywhere to make ends meet. He borrowed nearly 40,000 yuan from Zhu Deqing and 6,000 yuan from his mother, but his business still did not improve significantly.
What made him even more irritated was that Zhu Deqing changed his words and said that he did not want to marry him, and he was rejected by his ex-wife for remarriage. So wouldn't he have failed in vain? Xiong Zhenlin was hit hard. He lost everything overnight. The marriage was divorced, the family was separated, the money was gone, and the business was not going well. A series of blows completely distorted his heart.
3. On the bloody day, a detailed murder plan was made
On the last day of 2008, Xiong Zhenlin burned something in front of Liu Jihua's house. The fire was so fierce that it burned a wall black, alarming Yu Qizhang who lived here.
Yu Qizhang originally worked for Xiong Zhenlin, but because Xiong Zhenlin was suspected of being seriously ill and often suspected that he was stealing scraps to sell, Yu Qizhang quit in anger. When Liu Jihua started the waste collection business, Yu Qizhang came to her to help. She Qizhang later said that he often heard Xiong Zhenlin beating and scolding the disabled helpers next door, calling them "shit".
On this day, Yu Qizhang was working in the yard and saw thick smoke billowing outside. He quickly went out to check what was going on. When he saw it was Xiong Zhenlin, he told him not to burn it anymore. It would be dangerous if there was a fire! Xiong Zhenlin looked fierce and told him not to mind his own business, and he wanted to kill him with one knife!
Xiong Zhenlin’s revealed murderous intent frightened Yu Qizhang, and later saved his own life.
On New Year’s Day and January 3, 2009, Xiong Zhenlin came to Liu Jihua and threatened him: “I will not only kill you, but I will even kill the people around you, especially the young people, so that they will also have no descendants."
Although he has not taken any action yet, Liu Jihua is very worried because she knows Xiong Zhenlin's character too well. He is narrow-minded and revengeful. As long as he has a problem with him, he will want to take revenge on him for a long time. .
Sure enough, on January 4, Xiong Zhenlin finally carried out his murder plan.
Early in the morning, Xiong Zhenlin prepared good wine and several plates of food, and then invited Wang Wanjin and Long Jiafu to have breakfast at home. The two of them were very happy. They were very close to Xiong Zhenlin. They usually helped him, and although they earned hard money, they could make do with it.
Before they knew it, the three of them were already slightly drunk. Wang Wanjin tricked him into going to the pigsty and asked him to bend down to pick up something. Xiong Zhenlin's eyes showed a fierce look, and when he was not prepared, he picked up the ax that had been hidden by the pigsty. He picked up the ax and dropped it without any hesitation. Before he could make a sound, he was hit hard on the head by an ax and died on the spot. Later, Xiong Zhenlin used the same method to trick Long Jiafu into killing him. He dragged the two bodies to the pig pen.
wiped the blood on the axe, Xiong Zhenlin did not stop, one after another, the other four regular customers who often visited the scrap yard were all snatched away by Xiong Zhenlin with this ax and this harpoon. Life. If there is anything wrong with them, it may be that they are too close to Xiong Zhenlin, and their teeth and lips have collided, not to mention that there will be conflicts between people when they are close, and those conflicts could have been laughed off, but Xiong Zhenlin chose to remember them. In my heart, this record is a record of grudges.
After killing 6 people, it was getting dark. Xiong Zhenlin turned his attention to his ex-wife's house next door. He wanted to kill his ex-wife and Yu Qizhang who lived there.
Liu Jihua's family. The electricity was pulled from the scrap collection station. So Xiong Zhenlin turned off the electric switch, then knocked on the door and asked Yu Qizhang to come over and connect the wire. However, Yu Qizhang had a premonition and refused to open the door no matter what. Xiong Zhenlin could only put the original plan on hold and look for opportunities later. So he turned around and rushed to Zhu Deqing's house. It was late at night, the moon was dark and the wind was high. He rushed to Zhu Deqing's house on his motorcycle. He wanted to fight for it again. Maybe Zhu Deqing is willing to marry her.
However, Zhu Deqing did not change her mind. She once talked about this with her son, but she received strong opposition. "If you are a grandma, you can't tell me anymore." Make people laugh? "
Xiong Zhenlin understood, and he returned to his cold-blooded cruelty. While Zhu Deqing was not paying attention, Xiong Zhenlin took out an ax from the cloth bag he brought, smashed it at Zhu Deqing's head, and then took out a harpoon Stab her in the chest. Seeing that she was not breathing, Xiong Zhenlin covered the body with a quilt, and then rummaged through the cabinets at home to find his belongings.
On the other bed, Zhu Deqing's grandson, who was already sleeping, was suddenly awakened. The child cried and screamed, and the frantic Xiong Zhenlin also killed the 2-year-old child.
After doing all this, Xiong Zhenlin called his mother and then began his escape. He fled to distant Hainan, thinking. He had to avoid the limelight first.
However, Xiong Zhenlin’s hatred for Liu Jihua could not be dissipated. He would not give up until he killed his ex-wife. After five days on the run, Xiong Zhenlin returned to Hubei again. But this time, his "revenge" was not there. He succeeded, but his whereabouts were exposed, and he was brought to justice by the police...
Xiong Zhenlin calmly recounted the murders. One by one, the police were frightened when they asked why so many people were killed. At that time, Xiong Zhenlin replied: "They have taken advantage of me. Killing one is a killing, and killing several is a killing. Anyway, they have committed a crime and cannot escape death." "
" Do you regret it? "The police then asked.
"Regret, I regret that I failed to kill 9 people.What I regret most is that I failed to kill Liu Jihua and Lao Yu that night. I risked being caught and came back just to kill them! "
After Xiong Zhenlin was arrested, he lamented that he could not kill more people and expressed no regrets. After being sentenced to death in the first instance, he also submitted an appeal, claiming that he was mentally ill and begging the government for "amnesty" .
However, if the murder goal is so clear, the murder plan is so thorough, and the murder method is so cruel, how can the law allow him to escape punishment on the grounds of mental illness? When he came to take revenge on society, his death was already doomed.
