"Ah..." Zhong Yongliang sighed, hesitated for a long while, and only then spoke. "If you do not punish me, will you punish my relative? Will he be sentenced to death?"
"If this really has little to do with you, your liability can be reduced or exempted, but your relative, if he is the mastermind, will face grave charges. As for whether he will be sentenced to death, that will depend on his attitude in admitting his fault and his motive for the crime, and of course in the end it will be for the court to decide!" Liu Wangli said.
"Fine. Even if I do not tell you, you can find it out through investigation." Zhong Yongliang nodded and began his account. "It all started when my kidney was cut out! After my kidney was taken, my schoolmates all mocked me, and the way they looked at me turned strange. Some classmates even said behind my back that I was no longer a whole man, that I was a eunuch! Others sneered that I had sold my own kidney to buy an iPhone! It made me lose all face! I hate them. These people are so cruel. They have no idea of the pain in my heart or how inferior I feel. I hate them to death..."
"And then?" Liu Wangli nodded, feeling a measure of sympathy for Zhong Yongliang. He had already lost a kidney, and to be mocked on top of that was more than anyone could stand.
"Not long ago I even paid for everyone to go on a trip to the seaside, but how did they treat me? They laughed at me. I hate them, and I wanted revenge!" Zhong Yongliang said, unable to hide the anger in his eyes.
"Go on. How did you want to take revenge on them?" Liu Wangli thought, could this be Zhong Yongliang's motive for the poisoning?
"I did not know myself how to get back at them, and just then a relative of mine came to visit me. I told him what I was thinking, and he said he would help me think of something and leave everything to him! So he worked out a plan for me to play a trick on them. He told me to put laxatives in the cafeteria food, so they would all rush to the bathroom during class and pack the school toilets to overflowing, soiling their pants, so they would lose all face too! Then they would know how painful it is to be laughed at! And I could laugh at them to my heart's content..."
"Laxatives?" Liu Wangli frowned. If Zhong Yongliang had only put in laxatives, it could hardly be treated as a criminal offense. So long as it caused no serious consequences, it was merely a prank!
"Yes, but I did not know where laxatives were sold, and I did not dare buy them casually, for fear the dose would be too strong for my classmates to handle!" Zhong Yongliang nodded and said...
