Metropolis: Attack, Fat House

Chapter 38

In the interrogation room, couples depend on each other.

"You are smart, but being smart doesn't mean that you can see the truth, and you can definitely make the case an iron case."

Ye Qingzhu snuggled in Xiao Yao's arms and sighed, "Remember, in my first year as a police officer, my father told me about a case."

"What kind of case?"

Xiao Yao hugged her sister and asked softly.

"The case is not complicated. Twenty years ago, a middle-aged uncle petitioned. In his complaint, he once went out to work in the village at night. He returned home the next morning and found that his wife and second son were both dead in the yard. The son escaped in the house."

Ye Qingzhu slowly said: "The case was solved quickly. A gangster in the same village was arrested quickly. According to the suspect's own account, he wanted to force the female victim on the same day. Because of an attempt to resist, he used the yard. The iron rod in the house hit his head several times. Then he found a child asleep in the yard, he killed the child with a brick and escaped over the wall. In addition, someone proved that he was the suspect when he chatted with him the day before. He said he was going to commit the crime. At the time of the crime, it was also proved that the person's vehicle was parked in front of the victim's house. The person who lived with the suspect on the night of the crime also proved that he was no longer at home at the time of the crime."

"The chain of evidence looks complete on the surface."

Xiao Yao nodded, "The factual evidence is as it seems, and it should be convicted."

"Yes, the first instance was convicted. But after the first instance, the suspect appealed and the higher court sent back for a retrial. When the suspect was sent back for a retrial, the criminal suspect was accused by a lawyer to extract a confession from the policeman who handled the case. The second instance had little impact and the conviction was intentional homicide. And attempted rape, the sentence is with a suspended death sentence."

The look on Ye Qingzhuxiu's face was a bit complicated, "Appeal again, and after the second instance, the criminal suspect is acquitted and released!"

"How is it possible?" Xiao Yao was shocked.

"Why is it impossible, do you think it is judicial injustice?"

Ye Qingzhu shook his head, "Really not. Back then, my father looked at the file of the case carefully and found an extremely strange place. In the whole case, the police did not submit any direct evidence to the procuratorate. That is to say, the prosecutor was able to report to In the evidence submitted by the court, at most only the criminal suspect said that he wanted to commit a crime. The above described the criminal suspect's criminal history and the suspect appeared near the victim's home during the time of the crime. But what happened in the victim's home was what happened in the victim's home. What happened, but there is no evidence to prove it."

"Something's wrong."

Xiao Yao frowned, "Where are the exhibits? When the police are investigating, there must be evidence of conviction."

"exhibit?"

Ye Qingzhu's expression became strange, "The female victim was killed by being hit on the head by an iron rod, but the public security organs failed to detect fingerprints on the iron rod. Similarly, there was no fingerprint on the brick. The police used plaster to take samples. The shoe prints in the yard were taken, but the evidence was not submitted. There was also a wound on the side of the thigh of the suspect. He admitted that he was scratched by the glass on the wall when he turned into the yard. But the police did not respond to this. The wound was photographed, and no blood sample was taken from the glass on the courtyard wall. Moreover, the procuratorate asked the police to provide the murder weapon several times, but the police did not take it out, and it was nothing in the end."

"has a problem."

Xiao Yao frowned, "The policemen who handled the case back then, what are they going to do?"

"You also found something wrong?"

Ye Qingzhu said helplessly: “So it’s not that the second-instance judge scuttled the law for favoritism, but the current evidence can only prove that the criminal suspect has the motive and time to commit the crime, and it can even prove that the criminal suspect appeared near the victim’s home at the time of the crime. . But there is no evidence to prove that the suspect entered the victim’s home, let alone what happened in the victim’s home. The prosecutor provided a total of 21 pieces of evidence. Unfortunately, it was impossible to form a chain of evidence at all. According to the principle of no guilt, acquittal is appropriate. What's even more bizarre is that after the case was finalized, the suspect was missing. The two policemen who were responsible for handling the case also resigned due to dereliction of duty because of this case."

"..."

Xiao Yao closed his eyes and began to analyze the case.

finally.

He got an answer.

"The two senior policemen are very unlucky and impulsive."

Xiao Yao's expression is extremely complicated, "It can be seen that 99% of the suspect is the real murderer. However, the conviction cannot be made due to insufficient evidence."

"Yes."

Ye Qingzhu's expression became serious, and he looked straight at his younger brother, "I want to tell you about this case today, just to tell you that there is nothing wrong with reasoning about the case. But the key is that we must get the true evidence before we can convict the criminal. If so. With only prima facie evidence, then the criminal has a great chance to turn around, so that our efforts in handling the case will be wasted, and we may even be punished by superiors for malfeasance. What we have to do is kill with one blow, and don’t give any criminal suspects. People have a chance to escape the law, but they can't wrong any good person!"

She is ringing the alarm for Xiao Yao.

The profession of police is really special.

As long as one link goes wrong, it is likely to harm others and yourself.

But sometimes, the police and criminals are on opposite sides.

Either you die or I die, there is no reason to say.

"Sister, thanks!"

Xiao Yao nodded heavily and grinned at Ye Qingzhu: "It's great to have you here to warn me all the time!"

Yes.

The police rely on evidence to handle a case.

Reasoning alone is useless.

Even if you know who the murderer is.

But you have no evidence.
