"Old classmate, the provincial department transferred you here this time mainly to investigate a case of multiple corpses, and you may have seen just now, the dead were all burned to death this time.

There are a total of eighteen people who died, some of them have not yet been identified, and there are ten people who know their identities at present, but they come from all walks of life, there are ordinary company employees, college students, farmers, and small businesses, with different identities, and there is no correlation between them, but I don't know why, they all ran to an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs the night before yesterday, and then somehow, a fire broke out, and the doors and windows of the warehouse were locked from the outside, and all the people inside were burned to death. ”

"Who locked the door?" asked Dorin.

"I don't know, Captain Chu, they are still investigating, the lock is frosted, and there is no way to collect fingerprints, so it is very difficult to find the person who locked the door, so now I want to find clues from the corpse. ”

"Then let's not delay our efforts and get to work. Du Lin clapped his hands, "Find me a set of clothes, Xiao Ji don't follow, you are now the time to grow your body, you can't stay up late, you are the same old classmate, you will get old if you stay up late, you go to rest, I'll come by myself." ”

"Oh......" Although Ji Ruoming was not very happy, he was still a child after all, and he was indeed sleepy at this time.

"Didn't you listen to Wu Dafang just now, I always work at night, so let's go together. After Sui Yu'an finished speaking, he took out two plastic bags containing disposable sterile gowns from the cabinet on the side and threw one to Du Lin.

After the two dressed up, they left the lounge, and Ji Ruoming didn't go to the guest house, but slept directly in the lounge.

There were five bodies in the coroner's room, each with a sign with a number next to it, and a whiteboard with photographs taken at the scene on the open space on one side, and Durin walked over and looked at them one by one, and found that many bodies were stacked on top of each other at the doorway, indicating that these people tried to escape after the fire, but were unsuccessful, and unfortunately all died at the door.

But strangely, there were still several corpses that were burned in a sitting position in a circle.

Sui Yu'an saw that Du Lin had stayed in front of the corpse for a long time, so he came over and said, "Do you think it's strange too? I also think it's strange, not only are these corpses very strange when they died, but I also found that all the corpses have gasoline burning residues on the surface, that is, they were burned to death after being drenched in gasoline. ”

"Is it a mass suicide?" asked Doolin.

"We are so suspicious, but in the case of mass suicide, who locked the door? If someone locks the door, then this person must be found, because he is at least an insider, if not the organizer of this mass suicide, and his act of locking the door is already a violation of the criminal law. Sui Yu'an said.

"I don't know as much about the law as you do, but doesn't he break the law if he doesn't lock the door?" Du Lin didn't understand, "I think even if this person didn't lock the door, just letting these people commit mass suicide here should be 'indirect intentional homicide', right?"

Sui Yu'an explained: "Although you are a consultant of the Zhonghu Criminal Police Team, it seems that you are really not familiar with the legal provisions, and the kind of situation you are talking about is actually not called 'indirect intentional homicide', but should be called 'intentional homicide by omission'.

'Shall be' is an obligation, which may arise from an obligation expressly provided for in the law, or an obligation required to be performed in the relationship between the parties, or an obligation arising from a criminal act.

For example, if two people quarrel, and the woman is agitated and drinks pesticides, and the husband knows that his wife has drunk pesticides and will die if she is not sent to the hospital in time, but he chooses to leave or let it go, then he is guilty of 'intentional homicide by omission', because he and the person whose life is in danger are husband and wife, and there is an obligation to take care of and protect each other as prescribed by law.

And he only needs to take his wife to the hospital or call a 120 emergency number to save his wife's life, which is 'can', but he didn't do anything, this is what he said above, 'should do, can do but not do', so his behavior constitutes a crime.

If a passer-by sees a person hit by a car on the side of the road, the driver runs away, and the injured person is dying, but the passer-by does not call the police but turns away, and finally the injured person dies, then the law will only hold the driver responsible, and will not consider that the passer-by constitutes a crime of omission, because he has no obligation to call the police, at most he is only condemned by conscience and morality.

Going back to this case, if this insider knew that these people were going to commit suicide and did not dissuade or call the police, but did not lock the door, he would not have committed a crime......"

Durin interjected, "Just like that passerby, there is no obligation. ”

Sui Yu'an nodded, "Yes, because there is no obligation, there is no 'crime of omission', but if he locks the door, then there is no question of omission, it is intentional homicide!"

"But aren't these people committing suicide?" he just locked the door, and he didn't light the fire. ”

Sui Yu'an shook his head, "Even if it is suicide, if the person concerned regrets it at the end of the day, there is still a possibility of ending the suicide and a chance of survival, but this person locks the door, which is equivalent to depriving these people of hope of survival, which is equivalent to intentional homicide." ”

Durin nodded, "I understand, but I still have a question, if the gasoline on these people is also poured on this person, or if the gasoline is provided by this person, then what crime is this person committed." ”

Sui Yu'an said: "If this is the case you said, then it is even simpler, the fifth paragraph of Article 232 of the Criminal Law stipulates that 'homicide for helping others commit suicide' is also a case of intentional homicide, but the circumstances are relatively minor, generally more than three years, less than ten years in prison." ”

"I understand, thanks to Mr. Sui's law popularization class, Du Lin has been taught. Du Lin jokingly gave Sui Yu'an a look.

Sui Yu'an smiled and replied, "The little girl doesn't dare to be it." ”

The two laughed and began the autopsy.

While performing an autopsy on a corpse, Du Lin took advantage of Sui Yu'an's inattention, dipped a drop of residual blood in the part of the blood in the deceased's body that was not burned by the fire, and put it in his mouth, the person had been dead for three days, and the blood had long since turned black-brown, and it was very viscous, of course, there would be no more illusions in the blood, but the residual ingredients of the blood could still be tasted.

After analyzing the composition of the blood, a puzzled expression appeared on Durin's face.
