An example is a supposedly true case: a man who worked in a boiler room killed a woman and burned the body in a boiler 'grave'. The police found no direct evidence that the man killed the woman, only that the woman had been to the man's house before she was killed. After the man was arrested, after a police offensive, he confessed to killing the body. At the court appearance, the man argued that the police had coerced him into confessing, and he was forced to confess in desperation.

Since the police had not yet conducted 100% video evidence of the interrogation at that time, the court remanded the case for the police to supplement the investigation.

Later, under the supervision of a third party, police technicians borrowed four boilers of the same model, set the temperature according to the confession, and used pigs instead of carcasses to burn the grave for six hours. In the man's confession, he explained that he took out the body every hour to look at the situation, and the situation described was basically the same as the police experiment on four boilers.

Ultimately, the court held that if the man had not burned the body, it would not have been possible to describe the details of the changes in the body from hour to hour. The police did not have the experimental data conditions before, and ruled that the confession was valid. In the case of the second instance, the original verdict was upheld, and the man finally explained the reason and process for killing the woman.

The difference between the two confessions is that if the confession can be illustrated by imagination, it is invalid. If the confession is irreplaceable, it is valid. The more detailed the description is and the more it is consistent with circumstantial evidence, the more difficult it is to rebut the confession.

For example, A enters B's room and leaves, and a day later, B is found dead. Circumstantial evidence that A had contact with B is circumstantial evidence that A had the opportunity to kill B, but it is uncertain that A killed B. There is no evidence that B did not have contact with others at the time of death as determined by the forensic examination. At this time, when A recorded his confession, he explained the reasons and details of his attack on B, which basically matched the situation at the scene and the condition of the corpse, and this kind of confession can only be said so clearly and clearly by the murderer. The condemner could not have said in such detail. This kind of confession is a dead confession.

"Mrs. Fan, as far as I am concerned, I'm afraid your husband's situation is not very good. ”

Cao Yun did not scare Mrs. Fan, and the other party released Fan Shiyi after using Fan's wife to force Fan Shiyi to record a confession. As long as you know a little about the law, you know that Fan Shiyi's confession in this situation is not valid. Except for one circumstance, someone knows and knows the content of Fan Shiyi's confession, and knows that this confession is death evidence, so Fan's wife will be released.

Such as Fan's wife, she can only explain that Fan Shiyi and Fan Team collaborated to murder people. As one of the conspirators, Fan Shiyi can explain a lot of details of the scene. Fan Shiyi himself does not have the ability to judge dead confessions and overturn confession boundaries. Cao Yun guessed that Fan Shiyi's confession was a confession that non-participants could explain, and it was also an irreplaceable dead confession.

As long as the prosecution carefully analyzes Fan Shiyi's confession and explains to the jury all kinds of irreplaceable details, it will be difficult for Fan Shiyi to get away with it. On this basis, the Fan team is naturally in big trouble. However, if the lawyer of the Fan team is strong, it is still possible to take the Fan team out.

There is another problem, and the most important one, that Fan's wife is not able to come up with the lawyer fees that Cao Yun wants.

......

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when I returned to the lawyer's office, and after packing food on the way, Cao Yun called for a meeting, and everyone went downstairs to have dinner and eat. After Cao Yun explained the situation of Fan's wife, Yun Yin: "I thought you liked her?"

Cao Yun: "I don't hate it...... First of all, I have a small question about this case. ”

Gao Shan Xing, who was eating, sighed at the food and asked, "What's the problem?"

Cao Yun: "Two things, the first thing, only Yun Yin and I know, I once suspected that Fan Shiyi was not the murderer, and Fan Shiyi and Fan Team conspired together to commit the crime. Who else knows?"

Gao Shan Xing, Lu Yihang, and Wei Jun raised their hands together: "I know." ”

Cao Yun looked at Yun Yin.

Yun Yin said innocently: "If they ask, I will answer." ”

Cao Yun: "The second thing, who knew that I was going to visit Fan's wife?"

Everyone raised their hands together, and they all knew.

Cao Yun: "One possibility, Nangong Tengfei or a lawyer is as smart as me." One possibility is that there is a problem within the law firm. ”

Gao Shan Xing said: "Cao Yun, you can't say that without evidence." ”

Cao Yun looked at the others, and after Cao Yun said that, everyone changed their image of eating enthusiastically and became silent. The atmosphere was completely ruined.

Cao Yun said: "If you are the first to get started, this money will definitely not be earned...... Haruko, what do you think?"

Haruko lives in the lawyer's office and eats together, but she usually doesn't speak on such occasions.

Gao Shan Xing pushed Cao Yun with his elbow: "What are you doing?"

Qingzi looked at Cao Yun and said innocently: "Lawyer Cao, do you doubt me?...... This...... If so, I'll leave right away. ”

Cao Yun said: "Two choices, the first choice explains the situation." The second option, you can go at any time, this is your meda. Please!"

Lu Yihang glanced at Qingzi and said, "I only know that Lawyer Cao doesn't talk nonsense, especially this kind of talk." ”

Haruko stood still, looking left and right, and the atmosphere was very awkward for a while.

Gao Shanxing couldn't stand it: "What are you doing, people are old men in the law firm." ”

Cao Yundao: "I told Xiao Guo that I will file a case before you can investigate, this is the rule." It's very troublesome for me to file a case, and it is also troublesome for you to investigate. You can help me see if there has been any change in her account recently. Haruko, I apologize to you for making up a reason for your account change now, and I don't want to accept the result that there are problems within the law firm. ”

Haruko was very nervous and stopped talking. Seeing this, Gao Shan Xing stood up and said, "I'll talk to her." With that, he helped Haruko by the shoulder and went to the office.

Cao Yun sighed: "I noticed that she was a little strange a few days ago. ”

Yun Yin didn't understand: "Why did you buy her?"

Cao Yun said: "Then who should be bought? Xingzi is the boss, Yihang has a bright future, you are a rich second generation, Wei Jun is working hard." On the other hand, the current and future people who lack money in law firms are ordinary wage earners. Haruko and we know each other well, but we don't enjoy the share treatment. ”

......

Haruko's matter is very simple, someone contacted her and needed the lawyer's materials about Xie Yu's case. Haruko was also a little clever, saying that how much was the information that Fan Shiyi was not a murderer worth? The other party offered 500,000 yuan, and at the same time asked for more comprehensive information. So Haruko sold it.

Cao Yun asked, "What about visiting Fan's wife?"

Haruko hurriedly waved her hand: "I didn't say anything about it." ”

Cao Yun nodded: "If it was to buy you earlier, and you sold the fact that I was going to visit Fan's wife once, and then sold the information that Fan Shiyi was not a murderer, then I can basically be sure that the person who bought your information and the person who kidnapped Fan's wife are Nangong Tengfei." Now it seems that Nangong Tengfei is not as completely broken, at least he did not plan the kidnapping. ”

Nangong Tengfei saw the value of Fan's wife, so he controlled Fan's wife in his own hands on the grounds of safety, he wanted to release some fake news to listen to the information through a few days of contact. It's just that I didn't expect that after the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finch, someone took a violent route and kidnapped Fan's wife.

It is difficult to conclude who this person is now, and it is estimated that even Xie Lu himself is not very clear. However, it can be known that this guy is a person who is familiar with criminal defense, or has a friend who is familiar with criminal defense.

Gao Shan Xing looked at Cao Yun: "Hey ......" Look at Haruko.

Cao Yun said: "Qingzi, I understand the reason why you were bought. The responsibility is not on you, it is normal for you to be bought. The responsibility is ours, we didn't put the conference room unused, we had to talk about the case in the living room. ”

Someone wore gold and silver and fell drunk in front of the homeless, and it was a crime for the homeless to take the gold and silver. But as a lawyer, Cao Yun can understand the mentality of the homeless. It's the same situation, if Haruko installs a bug, or deliberately clichés, that's another matter.

Cao Yun said: "Look for yourself, whether you want to continue to work or resign, I have no opinion." I'm sure this will teach you a lesson. You keep 500,000 yuan for yourself, and you can count it as what you earned by your own ability. ”

How big is Cao Yun's loss? If Cao Yun can only show that Fan Shiyi is not a murderer, Cao Yun must come up with certain evidence to convince Xie Lu. This idea is just Cao Yun's speculation, Cao Yun is not sure, what if they are not murderers? Xie Lu bought revenge, how can this account be calculated? Therefore, Cao Yun will not explain his speculation to Xie Lu.

The piece of information itself is worthless, nor is it worth anything in the hands of other lawyers. It is only valuable in the hands of those who dare to kidnap Fan's wife to collect evidence.

"I'll answer the phone. Cao Yun looked at the phone number, stood up and walked aside: "Hello Xiaoyu." ”

"Lawyer Cao, Mr. Xie happens to be working near your law firm, if it is convenient for you, Mr. Xie would like to visit you in person. ”

"Of course, I'm waiting for you at the lawyer's office. "I wanted to get away with it, but the fish still took the bait.

......

Conference room.

Gao Shan Xing sent tea, left Cao Yun, Xie Lu, Xie Lu's wife Xiaoyue and Hanzi in the conference room, and left by themselves.

Cao Yun said: "Mr. Xie, let me get straight to the point." I think Mr. Xie, you may have some trouble, and it is best to seek help from the police. ”

Xie Lu asked rhetorically, "What does Lawyer Cao mean by this?"

Xiaoyue said: "Is Lawyer Cao saying that someone wants to deal with us like that to Xie Yu?"

"Bassoon, Thailand...... Mr. Xie, don't you have any points in your heart?" Cao Yun said: "Okay, then I'll make it clear that Mr. Xie and Bassoon have known each other for a long time, but the relationship has always been relatively dull." Bidding for a major project in Vietnam, the most interesting and competitive are Mr. Xie's company and Bassoon's company. I suspect that you have adhered to the principle of winning if you cooperate, and have lowered the offer and cooperated in contracting this project. I don't know the process, but I know that Mr. Xie, your subsidiary, the Asian Third Construction Team, was involved in this project. This project has a conflict with a family in a rural area, and you need their land, and the negotiation is not pleasant. I don't know what happened, a small mudslide on a rainy night washed away the family and killed four people. According to the Vietnamese police, someone heard the sound of the explosion, and your lawyer explained that it was thunder, and it was a thunderstorm that day. Due to the lack of evidence, the case was closed as a natural disaster. ”

Cao Yun: "The reason why this family does not sell their land is that they believe that the land they own is a feng shui dragon vein, and the reason is that the son of this family is a successful businessman who has a lot of business in Vietnam and Thailand, and is a businessman who is more successful than Bassoon, and has some dealings with the gray industry. The family of four who died, an old grandmother, and three were the wife of a businessman and a pair of twin children. Coincidentally, his wife and children arrived at their hometown at 7 p.m. when the mudslide occurred, only three hours after the mudslide occurred. ”

Cao Yun: "In my own understanding, the person in charge of the project sent by Bassoon is a villain, and it has nothing to do with you and Bassoon. I believe that Mr. Xie's net worth is unlikely to go to this kind of thing for some small profits. But some people don't think so. ”

Xie Lu didn't say a word, Xiaoyue looked at Xie Lu many times, but Xie Lu still didn't have any expression at all.

Cao Yun said: "If it's just the above information, it's unlikely that I will contact Mr. Xie you." Mr. Xie, you are a very generous person, and there may be many people who say bad things about you and call you a hypocrite. As far as I understand, you do invest a lot of real money in charity every year. Even if you're trying to make a name for yourself as a philanthropist, even if you don't care about the money, I think you did something good. In addition, my friend admires Xie Yu's ......"

Xie Lu: "Yun Yin?"

"Hmm. ”

"Rare. Xie Lu finished speaking: "Please continue." ”

Cao Yun said: "I'm not sure, but I suspect that the mastermind hired an old opponent of mine, who is also an opponent of the Dongtang police." ”

"Who?"

"Lens. Cao Yun said: "All the above information is based on some clues, and there is no guarantee of reliable reasoning. I myself don't know the mastermind's bottom line, and I don't know the inside story. Finally, I want to explain that all the information was obtained by the painstaking investigation of three detectives including Hanko. ”

Hanzi added: "Mr. Xie, if it is really a camera, I don't know how things will develop in the future......"

"I'm sorry, I have to answer this call. Cao Yun answered the phone: "Hey, Xiao Guo?"

Xiao Guo said: "Just inform you, Fan Shiyi is dead." ”

"What?"

Xiao Guo: "I just received the news. The detention center called him suicide when he was covered with a quilt, face down, and stabbed in the throat with a sharpened toothbrush. ”

"Grass!" Fan Shiyi committed suicide? Could it be that someone threatened Fan Shiyi with the safety of Fan's wife?

Cao Yun looked at Xie Lu: "Fan Shiyi is dead." ”

"What?" Xie Lu stood up in shock.

Cao Yun said: "I really hope you did it." ”

"What do you mean?"

Cao Yun said: "Mr. Xie, if you believe me, you will call the police immediately." If I'm not mistaken, this is a murder with a knife, and the Flame Court is going to be involved. ”

The camera will be all calculated step by step. The camera first uses the Thai police to hit Bassoon, and then uses the Flame Court to attack the Xie family.

Because of Xie Yu's death, Xie Lu made a big move, and Fan's wife was kidnapped, so there is reason to suspect that Xie Lu hired someone to kidnap and force Fan Shiyi to die. Even some of the people who attended Xie Lu's dinner party did something related to Xie Lu himself.

Will the Flame Court take this case?

Cao Yun thinks it will, and not just this case. The Flame Court will begin four years ago in the Vietnam mudslide case. The original plan of the Flame Court was to use the Eastern Tang Dynasty as a base to influence East and Southeast Asia. After the pseudo-death of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the Flame Court is in great need of a similar case.

Hanzi reminded: "Mr. Xie, you are not alone, and the other party's target may not be the only one. ”
