"Don't joke about that. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Tao Baihe's big eyes flashed with excitement, "There are real policemen here." ”

"I know. Wan Guohou showed a slightly strange smile, "By the way, how long is the criminal prosecution period in China?"

"It depends on the sentence. Nan Zeyu replied, "According to the maximum life and death penalty, it is twenty years." If it is determined that the prosecution will continue after 20 years, it must be reported to the Supreme People's Procuratorate for approval. ”

"What does Director Nan mean is that if a criminal can be sentenced to death at most, and he escapes by chance, then everything will be fine as long as he hides for twenty years?" Nan Zeyu frowned slightly when he heard Gao Jin's question, "You can't understand it like this. If the procuratorate or the police have already filed a case, or if the court has accepted the case, then even if the criminal suspect has been on the run for 30 years, he is not subject to the time limit for prosecution. ”

I chimed in. Tao Baihe seemed to be a little interested in this topic, "Why is there such a time limit for prosecution? Can't all cases be pursued forever?"

Nan Zeyu glanced at his wife in a little surprise, as if he couldn't decide whether to answer or not, but he finally spoke, "This question can be discussed overnight." To put it simply, it is not possible for the judiciary to prosecute crimes indefinitely, because the resources that the State can devote to justice are limited within a certain time frame. ”

Tao Baihe blinked, obviously still thinking about the meaning of this sentence. Wan Guohou resisted the urge to sigh, and he suddenly doubted his memory. Although Tao Baihe didn't like to read books in the past, she was not a brainless woman, at least on weekdays, she was very clever. And now it seems that the smart and decisive woman he has loved may just have the beautiful aura of his first love.

When Wan Guohou was in a trance, Gao Jin had already walked to the side of the dining car, and Yue Shuluo hurriedly picked up the wine bottle to help him pour wine. He walked over to Wan Guohou with his wine glass, "I seem to have heard people discuss this topic before. Roughly speaking, evidence will be lost over time, and the significance of the prosecution period is that the priority of ensuring that good people are not wronged should be higher than ensuring that bad people are punished. ”

A cluster of sparks flashed in Wan Guohou's eyes, "But, if you don't catch the bad guys, how can you guarantee that you won't wronged the good guys?"

Gao Jin was stunned, "I don't know about this, after all, I'm not a policeman." He took a sip of wine, "Master Hou, tell me about the case you just mentioned." ”

Wan Guohou nodded, "When I first bought this painting, I didn't think much about it. Later, I learned by chance that Frank Motherwell had been to Burma and had stayed on the border with Myanmar for a while. Then it occurred to me that perhaps Frank Motherwell did not imagine this painting out of thin air, but based on real scenes. He shook the glass in his hand, but still didn't take a sip of wine, "I'm a person with a lot of curiosity, and my curiosity must be satisfied, otherwise I won't be able to sleep." ”

"What a coincidence, Master Hou, so am I. Tao Baihe said with a grin, and then habitually glanced at Nan Zeyu, but the latter did not show a smile, he had been worried since he listened to Wan Guohou's interpretation of the picture.

Wan Guohou didn't answer, he said slowly: "Later, I sent someone to investigate the specific time when Frank Motherwell created this painting, and whether there was such a dock and street market in Hancheng. Guess what I found?"

Without waiting for the guests to answer, Wan Guohou said, "It's been too long, many people have passed away, and those who are still alive have either left Hancheng or can't remember clearly." But there is one thing that all the interviewees remember, and that is that between April and May 2002, several children in Hancheng, all of whom were about four or five years old, were abducted and their whereabouts are still unknown. ”

"Oh my God!" exclaimed Tao Baihe, "Is it really the traffickers who did it?"

"I'm afraid yes, these poor children were caught or abducted and sold somewhere horrible place. Wan Guohou replied. He noticed that Sui Qingliu's lips were already trembling like a candle about to go out in the wind, and Yu Jingbo put the wine glass aside. The bespectacled Sven man was staring at the wall in distraction, nervously tugging at his knuckles.

"So, didn't anyone report the crime?" You Jinlan thought of her child, and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Absolutely. Wan Guohou looked at Nan Zeyu, "I remember that Director Nan also spent some time in Hancheng before, have you heard of this case?"

Nan Zeyu smiled awkwardly, he touched his right wrist, as if he wanted to adjust the cuffs of his shirt, but he immediately realized that this small action was not very elegant, so he stopped. He saw that Wan Guohou had been looking at him, as if insisting on him to answer, so he had to sigh, and then straightened his waist, "Unfortunately, when I arrived in Hancheng, the case had already happened, I was still at the grassroots level, and I would carry out whatever tasks were arranged above, and I had only heard of this case, but I didn't know about it." ”

Wan Guohou asked in surprise, "You started from the grassroots level?" He looked incredulous, "I'm sorry, I thought that elites like you were airborne." ”

Nan Zeyu smiled bitterly, "I have also experienced the days when I was afraid of the phone ringing every day, and during that time, I kept receiving and dispatching the police, and staying up late was even more commonplace." ”

Tao Baihe looked at Nan Zeyu distressedly, "No wonder you sent me messages and called me at night at that time." Nan Zeyu didn't speak, just gently stroked Tao Baihe's big wavy curls. "There's no set time to catch a suspect, and that's what this job is. ”

Wan Guohou looked at the couple coldly, "So, this case of human trafficking will be closed in the end?"

Nan Zeyu showed a helpless look, "Hancheng is a small place after all, and it is impossible for the cross-provincial arrest to last long." Moreover, those traffickers are very cunning, they have to change places at every handover link, and Hancheng happens to be at the border, if they take the children out of the country, we will not be able to reach them. ”

"Poor children, their relatives must be in great pain. Tao Baihe rubbed the red hard veil on the surface of the evening dress, and said reservedly, "I hope these children can fall into the hands of good people." ”

You Jinlan hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously, "The child was abducted at such a young age, even if the parents can find them later, they probably don't remember their parents, right?"

"Theoretically, yes. Nan Zeyu replied. "I've heard from the old detective that in the past, there were children who were found in other places, but the children refused to go home because they didn't remember what happened when they were young. ”

"It's cruel!" You Jinlan couldn't help but shudder.

"Are those people abducting and selling children just to sell them to families who can't have children?" Tao Baihe asked.

"According to what we investigated, being adopted by a family that could not have children is already the best situation for these children after being trafficked. Nan Zeyu's expression was as usual, as if he was talking about something very ordinary, "It's not too bad to be treated as a child daughter-in-law." ”

"Isn't that bad?" Tao Baihe's eyes widened.

"More children are sold to black factories as child laborers, and they don't see the light of day all year round. Or they were disabled by some hooligans and thrown into the streets to beg, and the hooligans made a profit from it. Nan Zeyu's words succeeded in scaring Sui Qingliu, her mouth trembled a few times, but she didn't say anything.

"But that's not the worst of it. Nan Zeyu continued, "The worst thing is to be sold abroad to become a prostitute, or directly be removed from the organs and lose his life." ”

"It's terrible!" Tao Baihe exclaimed, "Human traffickers should be sentenced to death!" She spoke in a loud voice, and Yu Jingbo couldn't help but stop holding her fingers after hearing it.

"Director Nan, I wonder how China sentences human trafficking?" Wan Guohou asked.

"The sentence is usually between five and ten years imprisonment, and if the circumstances are particularly serious, the death penalty shall be imposed. Nan Zeyu replied, he had regained his composure at the moment, and his face was not as heavy as before. "I can't think about the specifics for a while, but there are probably several situations, in short, forcing maiyin to cause the death of an abducted child can be regarded as particularly serious. Nan Zeyu drank the wine in the cup and glanced at the moon, who walked over and poured the wine knowingly.

"What about selling children abroad?" Wan Guohou asked, seemingly nonchalantly.

"Of course it's serious. Nan Zeyu replied, "Actually, the child abduction and trafficking case in Hancheng back then cannot be regarded as unconcluded. His words surprised both Sui Qingliu and Yu Jingbo, and the two of them immediately listened attentively to him and continued.

"At the end of 2002, I was transferred to the provincial capital, and the rest of the matter was told by other police officers in Hancheng. It is said that the police found an informant who was willing to cooperate with the investigation at that time, and later the informant did give some information that was conducive to solving the case, and finally arrested several related small leaders. Unfortunately, the real culprit ran away. Nan Zeyu glanced at the painting on the wall, "It's a pity that Frank Motherwell has passed away, otherwise, maybe he can provide some more meaningful information." ”

When You Jinlan heard this, she couldn't help but sigh softly.

Gao Jin also finished drinking the wine in the cup at this time, and he said jokingly: "Master Hou, you see, everyone was moved by the tragic story in this painting, and Director Nan also recalled the hard past at the grassroots level. It's truly a magical painting. He gently held You Jinlan's hand, "Lan Lan's teacher, probably also hopes that we can remember the people who left and cherish the people around us through this painting." ”

"Wonderful!" Wan Guohou said with a smile, "Mr. Gao's words are simply admirable." He put down his cup, "Anyway, please take care of your children more often." ”

"At this point, I am very relieved of my family. Tao Baihe said proudly, "When she first learned to speak, I taught her to memorize the phone numbers of the whole family, as well as the names of me and my husband, and home addresses." ”

Nan Zeyu couldn't cry or laugh, "Jiaojiao is twelve years old, are you still afraid that she will be deceived away?"

"In this world, anything can happen. Sui Qingliu suddenly said such a sentence. Tao Baihe was a little unhappy when she heard it, but she saw that Sui Qingliu's face was as white as paper, and she seemed to be very weak, so she couldn't help but didn't reply. She moved her gaze to Gao Jin, and then said in surprise, "Mr. Gao, you deserve to open a restaurant, and the amount of alcohol is really good." ”

Gao Jin glanced at the cup in his hand and smiled, "Master Hou's wine is so good that people can't help but be greedy for the cup." ”

Wan Guohou bowed slightly and expressed his gratitude, "Do you want to open another bottle?"

"If it doesn't bother you, I do wish I could drink a little more. Gao Jin grinned, "It's the first time I've drunk 1811 wine." ”

"Is there anything special about the wine of 1811?" asked Tao Baihe curiously.

"I think I probably know a little bit. "The year 1811 is also known as the year of the comet, because in this year, a large comet passed by the earth. Coincidentally, comets have appeared in many years of good weather and excellent wines, such as 1811, 1826, 1845, etc. ”

"Sounds so mysterious. Tao Baihe unconsciously curled the ends of his hair with his fingers, "I thought that the wine only needed to look at the origin, but it turned out that it also had to look at the comet." ”

Nan Zeyu, Tao Wufu and Gao Jin all laughed, and You Jinlan quickly laughed when she saw this. Yu Jingbo heard the laughter, as if he had just woken up from a dream, he turned to face Wan Guohou, "Master Hou, thank you for your hospitality, thank you very much! My wife is not feeling well, I think we have to say goodbye in advance, sorry, sorry!"

"You can let Dr. Sui stay in the break room, and I'll ask Mr. Yue to call Dr. Jiang to come and see her. ”

"Forget it, we won't disturb the interest of Hou Ye and a few others. Yu Jingbo's face was full of sadness, and the smile he barely squeezed out made people very sympathetic, "Another day, I will invite a few people to the East Banquet, please be sure to appreciate your face." ”

"You send your wife back first. Gao Jin walked up to Yu Jingbo and patted him on the shoulder, "There is an opportunity to eat, take care of her first." ”

"In that case, then I won't keep it. Dean Yu, Dr. Sui, please wait, I will take you downstairs, and the substitute driver will wait for you downstairs. Wan Guohou waved his hand and motioned for Yue Shuluo to contact the servant, who had only left for about half a minute, and the arrangement was made. "Don't forget to pick up Mr. Yu first. Wan Guohou was still not at ease, he saw that the moon was falling and would come back soon, so he added another sentence.

Yue Shuluo smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, I've already arranged it." A moment later, Z2 knocked on the door and came in, taking Yu Jingbo and his wife out of the room.

Wan Guohou looked thoughtfully around the rest of the room, tonight's appreciation of oil paintings had achieved the effect he expected, and he said almost from the heart, "Are you a little hungry? Let's go, the food is waiting for us." He winked mischievously, "Don't worry, it's a delicacy specially prepared for a few people." ”
