Chapter 222: The Extinguishment of the Flames

Judge No. 3 threw bricks and jade: "Lawyer Cao, you should know very well what the killer weapon of the defense is. ”

Cao Yun replied, "Yes, the charter wife." ”

Judge No. 3 said, "Don't you want to say something?"

Cao Yun said while cutting the steak: "I asked my friend to investigate the situation of the chartered wife before and after the crime, and after meeting Xu's father himself, I decided not to take the case." However, friends are friends, and the remuneration is still paid, so I didn't notify my friend to stop the investigation. ”

"What did you find?"

Cao Yun said: "Interestingly, the day of the crime was the second day of winter last year. On the first day, the mahjong hall was not prepared, and it was very cold to play mahjong, and the mahjong friends dispersed early. It was about eleven o'clock. Under normal circumstances, charter women generally play until 1 a.m. ”

Judge No. 3 said: "It means that going home at eleven o'clock is more special for the charter wife, and it can be used as impression evidence." ”

Cao Yun said: "On the first day of the cold wave, the charter wife went home at eleven o'clock. The next day, the shopkeeper bought two small suns like electric fans, so the next day, that is, the day of the crime, the charter wife should have gone home at 1 o'clock in the morning. ”

Judge No. 3: "This confirms that Xu's father is the murderer, so why don't you stand up?"

Cao Yun said: "There is no evidence. It is impossible for the shopkeeper to keep the receipts for the small goods, and I can't confirm that the shopkeeper is the little sun who bought it on the first day of the cold wave. I'm just subjectively inferring that if the charter wife only goes home at 11 o'clock one day, it must be the first day of the cold wave, not the day of the crime. ”

Judge No. 3: "Lawyer Cao, in terms of ordinary courts, can the evidence currently in the prosecution's possession convict Xu's father?"

Cao Yun thought for a while: "The prosecution's very important evidence comes from two witnesses, and other evidence is logical evidence. For example, the fish killing knife, Xu's father can insist that he just lost it. The prosecution can think that Xu's father is very suspicious of throwing the knife. ”

This knife was a gift from Xu Na to Xu's father, Xu's father cherished it very much, and Xu's father, who lost the knife, did not look for it and bought a new knife. It doesn't make sense logically and emotionally. However, logical evidence is not dead evidence, and it cannot be relied on to determine the case.

For example, A usually eats half a pound of food and is full, and one day, A eats a pound of food in the store. Half an hour later, A is suspected of stealing a sandwich from the bakery and eating it all. Logical evidence suggests that A is unlikely to be able to eat a sandwich, but the fact that the logical evidence is wrong does not exclude A's suspicion.

The prosecution has a large amount of reference evidence, logical evidence, circumstantial evidence, and even physical and human evidence. Among them, the witness is a death witness, and if the witness is established, Xu's father must be guilty.

Cao Yun: "In this trial, the defense shook the prosecution's evidence, and logically speaking, it is difficult to convict in the end. ”

"Logically?"

Cao Yun said: "Don't forget the jury. Strictly speaking, the prosecution lacks death evidence, and Xu's father should be acquitted. However, the prosecution has a large amount of reference evidence, logical evidence, circumstantial evidence, physical evidence and human evidence. The prosecution threw out these pieces of evidence that the defense could not refute, and the jury would surely convict Xu's father. ”

Judge No. 3 said: "Have you noticed that there is a witness in this case, who also sells fish soup and is Xu's father's cellmate. ”

Cao Yun said: "I haven't known him. ”

Judge No. 3 said: "It sounds like this witness should be friends with Xu's father, and the witness and Wang Xia are rivals." People will start to wonder about the mystery. But the truth is very strange, this witness and the deceased Wang Xia are friends. ”

"Oh?"

Judge No. 3 said: "Both shops use gas as fuel, and prolonged exposure to gas will cause damage to human organs. The two were hospitalized together for three days, all due to rhinitis. Wang Xia had an operation on his nose because of long-term gas inhalation. The two met in the hospital. The distance is not too far, sometimes they close after work, and they will go to Liuxiang Street together for a drink. ”

Cao Yun said: "I don't know about this person. ”

Judge No. 3 said: "Although the witness is Xu's father's cellmate, there is no contact between the two parties after he is released from prison, and the witness wants to change his ways and does not want to have any more dealings with his fellow inmates. However, the witness is not a gentleman either. Lawyer Cao, do you think the reason for Xu's father's murder was that?"

Cao Yun said: "Stealing money, 30,000 yuan, being discovered, killing people." ”

Judge No. 3 said: "What I want to say is that the witness borrowed 30,000 yuan from the deceased Wang Xia on the morning of the crime. After that, there was no record of Wang Xia's withdrawal, and it can be considered that the witness borrowed 30,000 yuan. The witness originally planned to repay the money the next day, but when he heard that Wang Xia had been killed, he wanted to take advantage of it and make a fortune in a muffled voice, without explaining to the police that he had borrowed 30,000 yuan. ”

Cao Yun was a little surprised: "There is such a thing. ”

Judge No. 3 asked, "In that case, has Lawyer Cao changed his opinion of Xu's father?"

"No, my opinion of Father Xu is not about 30,000 yuan. ”

Judge No. 3 said: "After we learned about this case in detail, we thought that Xu's father might be wronged, so we opened this court. Does Lawyer Cao think it's a coincidence?"

Cao Yun smiled: "I know that within a few days of this case, the Flame Court announced its intervention, which is indeed a coincidence. ”

Judge No. 3: "Maybe you think you have people around us, let me explain to you here, we are following all the death penalty cases. ”

Cao Yun: "There are no three hundred taels of silver here?"

Judge No. 3 smiled: "Do you think it's credible?"

"Credible, I'm just a small character, I won't let you lie and lie to me. Cao Yun said: "And you shouldn't have any interest in Cao Lie." ”

"Well said. Judge No. 3 said, "I'm interested in you, the Flame Court needs people like you." The meaning of inviting you to dinner today is to recruit you. Hold your horses...... Hear me out. If you were asked to become a judge, or to preside over the work, I am sure you would not agree. From the perspective of human nature, we hope that if you encounter unjust cases in your daily work, or similar to some more interesting cases, cases that the judicial system cannot take, you can contact us. ”

Cao Yun: "I vaguely read the meaning, no wonder you have collected so much information. ”

"Hehe, that's right, there are righteous people who are secretly helping us. You can't deny that until now, the Flame Court has done nothing wrong. ”

"Agreed, but I must refuse your kindness. I've never considered myself a defender. There is no spirit in the world that is worth pursuing, to put it mildly, I am a person without soul and spirit. I know the Flame Court is rich, and I love money. But when the money reaches a certain amount, I definitely don't care about the money that much. I pursue a rich life, my needs are not very high, I can have money, I don't need to be very rich. ”

Judge No. 3: "You're really different from your father. ”

Cao Yun said: "Maybe just because he has a pursuit, I don't pursue it." For example, children who grew up in domestic violence in childhood either intensified or hated it. I belong to the latter group, and his pursuit has caused me a lot of pain, so I live a life based on him. ”

"He's going to be sad to hear it. ”

"No, quite the opposite. He pursues the self, and his self is the individual. What I pursue is self, and my self is friend, family. He couldn't have been upset by my thoughts. Cao Yun said: "In addition, whether he can hear it or not, I have to say something." My mother is about to remarry, and Lu Qun helped to understand the details, and the other party's character is quite good, so I don't object to it. I also hope that no one will object, because no one is qualified to object. ”

Judge No. 3 said after a long time: "Okay, I'll let people prepare and send you away in the evening." ”

"Thank you. ”

……

This time, the Flame Court sent Cao Yun extremely perfunctory, an ordinary car, with a curtain in the car. The rider can casually lift the curtain, but in fact, Cao Yun really did it. But the light is dark, and I can't understand where it is. I thought that the Flame Court should be prepared, so I didn't get too persistent.

I don't know how long I slept, Cao Yun woke up, the car had stopped, and the door was open. Cao Yun looked left and right, got out of the car, closed the electric door of the car, and left.

It's black again......

No, this time it's better, there are lights a few hundred meters away and the road is flat. Cao Yun watched the car pass by the light. Cao Yun walked towards the light, slowly approached and noticed that something was wrong. Finally stand near the lights, cross your waist and look up at the sign: Oriental Peninsula.

"Hey. Cao Yun answered the phone.

Li Mo: "Cao Yun, turn around, walk, leave." ”

"Oh?"

Cao Yun turned around and walked towards the road he came from, and after walking more than two hundred meters, a car passed by, stopped beside Cao Yun, and a man showed his ID: "Lawyer Cao, please get in the car." ”

Cao Yun got into the car, and before he could speak, another man in the car handed over his mobile phone, and Cao Yun answered the phone: "Hey." ”

Li Mo: "You came out of the Eastern Peninsula?"

Cao Yun replied: "I'm not sure if it came out of it, but I think the driver is back in the Eastern Peninsula." ”

Li Mo: "How long have you been in the car?"

Cao Yun: "I don't know, I'm asleep." ”

Li Mo cursed in his heart and asked, "Is the trial over?"

Cao Yun: "No...... Because something happened, I left first. ”

Li Mo: "What's the matter?"

Cao Yun thought for a while: "Hasn't the trial video been uploaded yet?"

"Nope. Li Mo felt wrong and asked, "What's the matter?"

Cao Yun paused for a moment: "There was a juror who was killed, a man, in his thirties, wearing a gray jacket. The Flame Court said that he secretly approached the prosecution and defense and asked them to stall for time, which slowed down the pace of the trial and allowed the prosecution and defense to argue over irrelevant details...... And then...... Executed. ”

Li Mo didn't speak for a long time, and the three men in Cao Yun's car looked weird.

Cao Yun still couldn't hold back: "Section Chief Li, if it were me, I would definitely not let the undercover agent die like this." "A humanistic-based society should not allow people to sacrifice their lives to add bricks.

"Give them the phone. Li Mo: "Send him to a lesson and record a confession." ”

Cao Yun sat down, and the man in the back seat hung up the phone: "Lawyer Cao, you can't blame Section Chief Li, Section Chief Li has explained that this undercover agent delayed time." However, it is at the stage of the jury's conclusion that secretly sow discord, so that the jury cannot reach a consensus. Undercover agents are uncontrolled and somewhat self-righteous. Section Chief Li has been worried about his safety. ”

Only then did Cao Yun know that this undercover agent was not a person with a lesson system, but an informant from the customs. He is the delivery person of cargo A, and his daily job is to go to the dock to deliver cargo A to the designated place. Very early on, he was an informant of the police customs, and the customs had no interest in A goods, they were more interested in smuggling lines. The informant happened to apply for a jury and happened to be admitted to explain the matter to customs. Customs knew that the matter was serious and notified the search section. As a result, Search Lesson 1 gave up on forging identities and making plans for a new undercover agent.

The next thing is to toss and record a confession, the police believe that Cao Yun will tell the truth, but they still have been guiding Cao Yun to try to recall any details that may not have been said. Cao Yun has been to the Flame Court three times, and he knows the requirements of the police, and he never tires of recalling them over and over again. It wasn't until dawn that Cao Yun left the police station and took a taxi back to the law firm.

As a result of the undercover murder, the police resorted to Plan B, ready to fight this battle with unlimited resources.

At 9 a.m. the day after Cao Yun's return, which was what the police believed to be the final trial time, nearly 1,000 police officers and security personnel participated in the operation, encircling the Eastern Peninsula from three sides, land, sea and air, and raiding key suspicious locations.

At around eleven o'clock, the police identified the Twin Mountains as the location of the Flame Court. There are three regional buildings around the Twin Mountains, namely a waste transfer site, a thermal power plant and a sewage treatment plant. The three sites are far from each other, and the sewage treatment plant is idle.

After the Oriental Peninsula was leased, a series of infrastructure projects were carried out on the island, including a sewage treatment plant. However, according to the opinion of the environmental protection department, the pollution caused by the sewage treatment plant is more than that caused by the direct discharge of domestic sewage from Dongfang Villa. Since it is domestic sewage, there is no industrial or medical sewage, and the environmental protection department recommends that it be discharged directly into the sea after simple purification. The environmental authorities monitor and conclude that there will be no impact on the marine environment.

A micro-sewage treatment plant was built at the foot of the Oriental Villa, with pipes leading directly to the sea. The original sewage treatment plant has not been in operation since it was built. In the original underground structure, renovations and changes were made, several engineering teams were hired, and it took two years to carry out the construction for a total of one month, and finally the Flame Court was built.

The people of the Flame Court had long since been evacuated, and the police raid saw all the people who had come to the Flame Court for various reasons, not even a single ordinary guard. The lack of harvest was expected by the police and Cao Yun. There are too many operatives, and there will definitely be leaks.

The next step is to investigate who approved the project and how to apply for the access permit to the peninsula.

It is important to note the location of the sewage treatment plant, which is the closest southwest seaside of the Twin Mountains, and was originally intended to be discharged into the sea after treatment. The sewage treatment plant is still 20 kilometres away from the nearest waste transfer site. Because there is money in the East, the infrastructure is in place, and there are special roads leading to the sewage treatment plant. In other words, if someone dismantles the sewage treatment plant, the people on the island may not know about it.

But obviously, there must be people from Oriental Villa involved in this matter, and they have certain positions and rights. As for who it is, the police can't draw conclusions for the time being, and they don't know how the management system of Oriental Villa works. On the third day after the police raid ended, Li Mo personally led four groups of agents into the Eastern Peninsula to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the causes and consequences of the Flame Court.

Regardless of the outcome of the investigation in the future, the Flame Court was eventually destroyed by the police, and Xu's father's case came to a successful end, becoming the end of the Flame Court, at least the Flame Court on the Eastern Peninsula has ended.
