Police Detective

These photos were of very low value. Bai Song took a few ruins and looked at them for a long time, but they were almost worthless.

The on-site fire certification certificate determined that the cause of the fire was gas leakage. Later investigation found that there were certain product quality problems, and the relevant companies were fined.

that's it?

Bai Song felt very sad. Are these the only cases where several people died?

"Is there no autopsy report?" Bai Song asked.

"Yes, but it hasn't been sent yet. I guess I have to look for it." Bureau Wei said: "Don't have high expectations for cases in the 1990s. This matter has passed the statute of limitations." Bureau Wei said.

"Hasn't this matter been filed?" someone asked.

"No case has been filed." Another person said: "However, if the public security department should have filed a case but did not, the prosecution period should not be counted."

Both criminal cases and civil cases have similar provisions on statute of limitations. Civil law is called the statute of limitations, and criminal law is called the prosecution period.

The statute of limitations under civil law (as of 2020) is generally three years. You lend money to the other party, and if you don't sue for more than three years after the return date, the other party can raise the defense of the expiration of the statute of limitations.

For this right, if the other party does not understand the law and has not raised a defense, the court will accept it normally. Until the court is about to make a decision, the other party's right to defense will disappear. Or if the other party knows that he has this right and applies for an appeal, he cannot invoke the defense of the statute of limitations during the appeal.

Simply put, if the debtor does not understand this, the court will not take the initiative to tell you that you have this right.

However, people who borrow money from other countries may not know this regulation, and everyone who owes money to others does not know it.

So don’t be embarrassed when dealing with people who don’t repay the money, hurry up, or refill the IOU, so that the three-year statute of limitations will be refreshed. If that person borrows money and goes into hiding for a while, you can go to a provincial newspaper every two years and spend a few hundred yuan to buy a small grid and publish an announcement.

The prosecution period of criminal law is very complicated. For public security cases, it is half a year, and for criminal cases, there are four levels: 5 years, 10 years, 15 years, and 20 years. After the promulgation of the Criminal Law in 1997, as long as the Public Security Bureau files a case, or the Public Security Bureau should file a case but fails to file a case, then even if it is 100 years of running away, the person can be punished.

But if no one discovers the case and the prosecution period has passed, the crime will basically disappear.

Although 20 years have passed since Zheng Yanwu’s case, it is a situation where the public security organs should have filed a case but failed to do so. It stands to reason that it will not be affected by the prosecution period.

However, the time of this case was 1994.

Before the 1997 Criminal Law was promulgated, there was the 1979 Criminal Law.

"Bureau Wei is right, the prosecution period has indeed passed." Bai Song nodded: "The crime was not committed under the 1997 Criminal Law. According to Article 77 of the 1979 Criminal Law, it must have been a case of evading investigation after taking compulsory measures. Those who are on trial, for example, are released on bail and run away. This situation is not subject to the limitation of the prosecution period. If a separate case is filed or a case should be filed but is not filed, the prosecution period will still be calculated. According to the criminal law's principle of giving priority to the past and not retroactively, That case has indeed passed the prosecution period.”

"Is this actually stipulated in the 1979 Criminal Law?" Several people whispered.

To put it this way, it’s useless to investigate after the prosecution period has passed.

Director Wei saw that Bai Song's expression remained unchanged, and he was a little curious. Having said all that, why is Bai Song not discouraged?

"Bai Suo, do you have any ideas?" A deputy detachment leader understood Bureau Wei's expression and asked directly for Bureau Wei.

"Article 76, Paragraph 4 of the 1979 Criminal Law also stipulates that if after 20 years, it is deemed necessary to pursue prosecution, it can be submitted to the Supreme People's Procuratorate for approval." Bai Song looked at Director Wei with burning eyes.

Director Wei didn't have any extra feelings about this look: "Okay, let's investigate the case first. If it is confirmed to be a murder case, and it is a tragic case in which several people died, I will tell the leader about it."

Bureau Wei naturally knows the difficulty of this case.

However, if this case can be solved, and it is a case that has passed the prosecution period and is handled, then this matter will definitely have a greater impact than the counterfeit currency case!

The Municipal Criminal Investigation Corps, are you still afraid that things will get serious? Director Wei can't wait for CCTV to report it.

"By the way, Bai Song and Wang Huadong, it's best for you guys to act cheaply in the recent period. Your personal safety needs to be ensured. If you have anything to do, tell me in time." Bureau Wei gave a few instructions, then started the meeting and conveyed it to the Municipal Bureau. spirit of instruction.

After the meeting, detachment Li shook hands with Bai Song and pointed out those who needed his help directly.

"These people are so hypocritical." Wang Liang cursed quickly when he saw that no one was there. He had been holding it in for a long time.

"Okay, we are not children." Sun Jie hit Wang Liang on the shoulder: "Let's rest first. There is no point in worrying about Zheng Yanwu's case. It has been delayed for more than 20 years."

"Well, I guess Director Wei will have to ask for instructions, but now everyone is busy with the counterfeit currency case. It is estimated that reporters will come to interview in a few days. Let's rest for the next few days. When the leaders start to consider this case, we will definitely have to I went on a business trip to Shonan." Bai Song said.

In the past few years, Bai Song has seen so many major cases, and he is not the impetuous boy he used to be. He will not rush to Shonan desperately when he sees this case. Without other supporting work, going there is nothing.

And everyone is too tired.

In the evening, Bai Song did not leave the city bureau, but rested here.

These days, there are really too many things that I have experienced, and there are a lot of things that need to be considered carefully.

It was so late, and Bai Song didn't organize everyone to go out for dinner. One is to consider safety, he should try to cause as little trouble as possible; the other is to consider what others will say. Nowadays, many people are still busy with cases. They have been specially approved by their leaders to take a break. It is okay to take a break. But if they go out to eat in a ostentatious manner, it is inevitable that someone will say something.

There are quite a few dormitories here, one for Bai Song and Captain Liu, and one for the other four.

Liu Shuyuan didn't know what he was doing tonight. If he wasn't here, Bai Song and his three brothers would rest in the same room. At first, they all chatted for a while, but they all fell asleep after a while.

Everyone was asleep, but Bai Song's mood was ups and downs, and he didn't know what to think.

At this time, the mobile phone received a message. Bai Song glanced at it and saw that it was from Xinqiao.

"I'm leaving for The Hague tomorrow. Have you rested?"

"No."

"I just saw your message. You said you caught everyone. Are you still busy now?"

"I'm not busy."

"Okay, let's turn on the video to see you."

Bai Song felt inexplicably better and turned on the video.

"Auntie?" Bai Song was stunned for a moment. The people opposite were Zhao Xinqiao and her mother.

It seems that Xinqiao's mother is still not worried about her long journey, so she came here today to help prepare her luggage.

"What's going on with your head?" Zhao Xinqiao approached the screen: "It's so dazzling, hahaha."
