Lin Manshu arrived at the Public Security Bureau early in the morning, and after a night of thinking, she made a decision. She chooses to help Zhong Nan, if Zhong Nan is the murderer, she will fight for him to get a minimum sentence, if Zhong Nan is not the murderer, she will help him clear the suspicion of the crime. In the final analysis, the experiences of the two are too similar, and Lin Manshu is reluctant to let go of Zhong Nan's matter. Back then, when she received the news of Lin Huijing's death, did she also think about using revenge to solve the problem? But in the end, she still chose the law, but did she really think that the legal result was fair? These are only known to Lin Manshu herself.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Mubai asked in surprise after meeting Lin Manshu in the office area.

"Come to see my client. Lin Manshu replied.

"Is there a new case again?" Xiao Mubai asked.

Lin Manshu replied calmly: "Zhong Nan's case." ”

As soon as Xiao Mubai heard that Lin Manshu was going to take over Zhong Nan's case, he quickly pulled her to a no-man's corner and asked carefully: "Why do you care about this matter?" Zhong Nan didn't seem to have applied to find a lawyer. ”

"I'll talk to him about agency. Lin Manshu said.

"I'm not asking about the right of attorney, Zhong Nan didn't ask for a lawyer, why do you want to get involved in this matter. And even if Zhong Nan wants to ask you to be his lawyer, you can refuse. Xiao Mubai said.

"There's no reason to refuse. Lin Manshu replied in a flat tone and with a cold expression.

Xiao Mubai learned her tone and said, "There's no reason to care." ”

"Yes. Lin Manshu said.

Xiao Mubai didn't know the reason Lin Manshu said, looked at her and asked, "What reason?"

"You don't need to know. Lin Manshu replied coldly.

After knowing each other for so long, Lin Manshu still has this cold attitude, which makes Xiao Mubai a little sad. But he still didn't show it, he grabbed Lin Manshu's shoulders with his hands, lowered his head and took a deep breath, and only after sorting out his emotions did he say:

"I know you must have your own reasons for doing this. But even if you want to take care of it, you have to wait until Zhong Nan confesses. We interrogated all night yesterday and he didn't say anything. And because this matter has attracted a lot of attention from the media, if you get involved now, you can't judge Zhong Nan guilty at that time, and the people are likely to transfer negative emotions to you. ”

"When do you think I ever cared about the negative emotions of the people?" asked Lin Manshu calmly.

Xiao Mubai wanted to say something, but Chen Li suddenly came out and said, "Mubai, come out, the murderer has turned himself in." ”

Xiao Mubai and Lin Manshu stood at the top of the stairs, the door was closed, and it was not easy to be found, and Chen Li was able to find them because he saw Xiao Mubai and Lin Manshu come in. When Chen Li came in, he didn't break in, but just pushed the door open and knocked twice, but no one entered. After all, he didn't know what the two of them were doing inside, and it would be embarrassing if he disturbed someone else's good deeds. But he was thinking too much.

Hearing Chen Li's words, Xiao Mubai immediately went out, and asked, "What murderer?"

"The murderer of a serial murder. Chen Li replied.

"Isn't it Zhong Nan?" Xiao Mubai asked.

"I'm not sure yet, Zhong Nan's father, Zhong Shilin, turned himself in......"

Chen Li was still saying something, but because of the distance, Lin Manshu couldn't hear it clearly, and only heard the sentence "Zhong Nan's father Zhong Shilin surrendered".

Xiao Mubai and Chen Li went to the interrogation room together and began to ask Zhong Shilin about the content of the murder case. If the confession can be matched, it can basically be determined that he is the murderer.

"Are you the murderer of the serial murders?" Xiao Mubai looked at Zhong Shilin and asked.

"Yes, I did it. Those people killed my daughter, but they were not punished by the law, so I could only seek justice for Ling'er. Zhong Shilin said, his voice low and steady.

Ren Tao looked at the scene in the interrogation room from the monitoring room, and every move in it was very clear.

"Zhong Ling has been dead for twelve years, why is he only taking revenge now?" Xiao Mubai asked.

"For 12 years, I tried to let go, but I didn't. I've had the idea of killing people for a long time, and I've been planning to kill them without being detected. ”

Zhong Shilin narrated that he said whatever the police asked, and even those who didn't ask the police would say it. He and the degree of cooperation is stronger than Zhong Nan, and I don't know if it is their Zhong family's tradition to cooperate with the police investigation.

"Until two months ago, I was diagnosed with cancer, and I didn't live for half a year. At that time, I realized that it was time to avenge Ling'er. That's why this murder was planned. Zhong Shilin continued.

"Your murder plan is very thorough, if you don't say it, we won't suspect you, but why do you suddenly turn yourself in?" Chen Li asked.

"Because you captured Zhong Nan. I'm a dying man and don't care about these charges, but I can't let my son carry the reproach for me. ”

Zhong Shilin's answer is reasonable and unquestionable. But is he really the murderer?

Lim Man-sook met Chung Nam in the interrogation room as his lawyer. Zhong Nam was surprised to see Lin Manshu come in.

"Lawyer Lin, why are you here?" Zhong Nan asked.

Lin Manshu sat down opposite Zhong Nan with the folder and said, "I want to be your lawyer, do you agree?"

"Of course I'd like to have such a powerful lawyer of yours come to represent me. It's just that I don't understand one thing, why are you representing me in my case?" Zhong Nan asked.

Lin Manshu thought for a while and said, "Sympathy, interest...... You can interpret it however you want. If you don't have a problem with me as your lawyer, sign the power of attorney. ”

Lin Manshu said and took out the power of attorney and the signature pen and handed it to Zhong Nan, even this is ready, it seems that she is determined to represent Zhong Nan's case, and believes that Zhong Nan will agree.

Zhong Nam wrote his name on the power of attorney. After signing, he handed the power of attorney to Lin Manshu.

"Now, tell me a little bit about your situation, the more you confess to me, the better the chances of innocence. Lin Manshu said.

"Since you said you killed them, let's talk about the process of killing. Xiao Mubai said to Zhong Shilin.

"The first person was killed a month ago, and her name is Wang Xin. I was the first to find her contact information, took her to a remote mountain, strangled her with a rope, and cut off her legs with an axe. ”

Zhong Shilin recounted. The time, place, and modus operandi are exactly the same, and it would be difficult to say in such detail if he was not the murderer.

"Wang Xin's contact information, how did you get it?" Chen Li asked.

"Her contact information is hard to find, but her father's contact phone number hasn't changed in 12 years. I found her father's phone number from the parent contact list sent by Ling'er School 12 years ago, and through her father, I got Wang Xin's contact information. ”

Zhong Shilin's answer was like a stream, such a tortuous modus operandi does require a long time of planning, no wonder he hasn't done it for 12 years.

"Then why did you cut off the victim's limbs?" Xiao Mubai asked again, this is probably a topic that cannot be avoided.

"In my hometown, there is an old legend that the soul of a wrongfully dead is immortal, and if you find a suitable body to live in, you can be resurrected. But if it is a person who has been killed, the limbs of the person who killed his murderer are to be removed and put together into a complete human form, so that the soul can dwell on it. ”

Zhong Shilin talked about this ancient legend with the idea of feudal superstition and bloody revenge. There is not much difference from the information found by Lin Manshu.

"I didn't believe that. But because I miss Ling'er so much, I hope she can come back, and I hope to see her again before I die. So I tried it. ”

"Where are those severed limbs now?" Xiao Mubai continued to ask.

He and Chen Li interrogated alternately in this way, the purpose was to set out all the useful information that the murderer knew, and also to test the murderer's logical loopholes.

But Zhong Shilin doesn't seem to have logical loopholes, just like Zhong Nan. For every question of the police, the perfect answer was thought of.

"I've burned it down. I found that the legend was impossible to fulfill, and in order to vent my anger and not leave their bodies full, I burned off my limbs and scattered them into the river. Zhong Shilin replied.
