The follow-up investigation of the case encountered considerable issues.
Tian Zhongfa's wife indeed suffers from a mental illness.
Everyone in Beitun Village knows that when Tian Zhongfa got married, his wife was already considered simple-minded, and throughout the years, nothing much has changed.
However, considering the murder case, Qin Yong still instructed Ren Qiang to take her for a mental assessment.
The conclusion was that Tian Zhongfa's wife likely suffered severe brain damage as a child, leading to mental disability and a significant loss of behavioral capacity.
The assessment concluded that Tian Zhongfa's wife has an intelligence level equivalent to that of a four or five-year-old child.
According to the law, if a mentally ill person commits murder while unable to recognize or control their actions, they are not considered criminally responsible following legal confirmation.
