In the interrogation room, the couple was leaning against each other.
"You are very smart, but just because you are smart doesn't mean that you can see the truth and solve the case.”
Ye Qingzhu snuggled into Xiao Yao's arms and sighed." I still remember that my father told me about a case in my first year in the police force.”
"What kind of case?"
Xiao Yao hugged his sister and asked softly.
"The case is not complicated. More than twenty years ago, there was a middle-aged man who came to visit. In his account, he went out of the village at night to do some work. The next morning, he returned home and found his wife and second son dead in the courtyard.”
" The case was solved quickly," Ye Qingzhu said slowly." A hooligan from the same village was arrested very quickly." According to the suspect's own account, he wanted to rape the female victim that day. As he failed to resist, he hit her on the head several times with an iron rod in the yard. Then, he found a child sleeping in the courtyard, so he killed the child with a brick and escaped over the wall. In addition, there was also evidence that the suspect had said that he was going to commit a crime the day before. At the time of the crime, someone also proved that the person's car 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 not at home at the time of the crime.”
"The chain of evidence looks complete on the surface.”
Xiao Yao nodded." The evidence is as it seems. We should be able to convict him."”
"That's right, he was convicted in the first trial. However, after the first trial, the suspect appealed and the higher court sent him back for a new trial. When the case was sent back for a new trial, the suspect accused the police of extorting a confession through torture through a lawyer. The second trial did not have much impact. The conviction was intentional homicide and attempted rape, and the sentence was a suspended death sentence.”
Ye Qingzhu's expression was a little complicated." We'll appeal again. After the second trial, the suspect will be acquitted!”
"How is that possible?" Xiao Yao was shocked.
"Why not? Do you think it's unfair justice?”
Ye Qingzhu shook her head." Not really. Back then, my father carefully read the case file and found an extremely strange place. The police did not submit any direct evidence to the prosecutor for the entire case. In other words, the only evidence that the prosecutor could submit to the court was that the suspect said he wanted to commit a crime. It stated that the suspect had a criminal history and appeared near the victim's house at the time of the crime. However, there was no evidence to prove what had happened in the victim's home.”
"Something is wrong."
Xiao Yao frowned." Where's the evidence? When the police investigated, they had to have evidence to convict him.”
"Evidence?"
Ye Qingzhu's expression changed." The female victim was hit in the head by an iron rod, but the police couldn't find any fingerprints on the iron rod. Similarly, there was nothing on the brick. The police used plaster samples to remove the shoe prints in the yard, but the evidence was not submitted. There was also a wound on the suspect's thigh. He admitted that he had fallen into the courtyard wall and was scratched by the glass on the wall. However, the police did not take photos of the wound, nor did they collect blood samples from the glass wall. Moreover, the prosecutor had asked the police several times to provide the weapon, but the police did not take it out. In the end, the matter was left unsettled.”
"There's a problem."
Xiao Yao frowned." The police who handled the case back then. What are they trying to do?”
"You also realized that something was wrong, right?"
Ye Qingzhu said helplessly," So, it's not that the judge of the second trial was bent on favoritism. It's that the current evidence can only prove that the suspect had the motive to commit the crime and the time to commit the crime. It can even prove that the suspect was near the victim's house at the time of the crime. However, there was no evidence to prove that the suspect had entered the victim's house, let alone what happened in the victim's house. The prosecution had provided a total of 21 pieces of evidence. Unfortunately, there was no way to form a chain of evidence. Based on the principle of no doubt, it was appropriate to acquit. What was even stranger was that after the final verdict of the case, the suspect was nowhere to be found. The two policemen who were in charge of handling the case also resigned due to dereliction of duty.”
“……”
Xiao Yao closed his eyes and began to analyze the case.
In the end.
He received an answer.
"Those two police seniors were very unlucky and impulsive.”
Xiao Yao's expression was extremely complicated." It can be seen that the suspect is 99% the real murderer. However, due to insufficient evidence, he could not be convicted.”
"Yes, I am."
Ye Qingzhu's expression turned serious as she looked straight at her brother." I'm telling you about this case today because I want to tell you that there's nothing wrong with the deduction process. But the key is that we have to get real evidence before we can convict the criminal. If there is only superficial evidence, then the criminal has a great chance of turning the tables and wasting our efforts in the case. He might even be punished by his superiors for dereliction of duty. What we need to do is to kill them in one blow. We can't give any suspects a chance to escape the law, but we can't malign any good people!”
She was warning Xiao Yao.
The police profession was really special.
As long as one step went wrong, it was very likely that it would harm others and oneself.
But sometimes, the police and criminals were on opposite sides.
It was either you die or I die. There was no logic to it.
"Sis, thanks!"
Xiao Yao nodded heavily and grinned at Ye Qingzhu.""It's great to have you by my side to constantly warn me!”
Yes, it was.
The police needed evidence to handle a case.
Just reasoning was useless.
Even if you knew who the murderer was.
But you have no evidence.
It was still useless.
In that case, he would go and look for his credentials…
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the system request and completing the system mission: This is the first time I've declared war in my life!"
"System reward, ability: Cat's Eye!”
Xiao Yao was speechless.
When was the war announced?
It was a little square.
What was System Daddy trying to do?
No, this was…
Ability?
