　　The verdict showed that the police investigation found that Zhang Bo and Ye Chengchen had discussed killing two children around February 2020, and Zhang Bo had been hesitant.

　　After June 2020, seeing that Zhang Bo still hadn't acted on the two children, Ye Chengchen said to Zhang Bo in WeChat: "I can't accept the baby anyway, you just need to solve the baby right away."

　　Zhang Bo replied in the chat: "There is something wrong with the baby, you are not qualified to say that I am the son of the second marriage." Ye Chengchen said: "I am not qualified to say anything to you."

　　The court found that the WeChat chat records between Ye Chengchen and Zhang Bo from May 28 to November 2, 2020 confirmed that in order to achieve the purpose of marriage, the two defendants had repeatedly conspired to plot Zhang Bo’s daughter (raised by his biological mother) to receive In Zhang Bo's home, in order for Zhang Bo to kill the two children at the same time, Ye Chengchen urged and forced Zhang Bo to commit the crime on many occasions, and set the time limit for Zhang Bo to commit the crime.

The two defendants also confessed to the fact that they had conspired to kill the two victims.

　　The court held that based on the existing evidence, it was sufficient to establish the fact that Zhang Bo and Ye Chengchen jointly killed the two victims.

The court does not accept the defense opinion that the female defendant is an accomplice

　　When the case was first opened, one of the focus of the trial was the issue of Ye Chengchen’s principal and accomplice. The defender believed that Ye Chengchen was an accomplice, but the prosecution believed that the two defendants were of equal status, and the court did not express its position in court.

　　Ye Chengchen actively pursued the death of the two victims. He repeatedly urged Zhang Bo to kill the two children on the grounds that he and his family could not accept that Zhang Bo had children. When Zhang Bo was hesitant, he said that his family did not agree with them.
