09 Nasty people and very nasty people
"What? Did Lawyer Lin really represent that case?"
Xiao Mubai told Chen Li about the murder of Lin Manshu on behalf of the top student in the college entrance examination, which caused him to be surprised. They were drinking drinks in the police lounge, and Chen Li's action of getting up from his chair with a "Teng" caused a lot of attention.
Xiao Mubai looked at the surprised gazes of the people around him, quickly pulled him to sit down, and said, "Why are you so surprised, I think this is a good thing." ”
"It's crazy. Chen Li said, "In short, you should be careful, the investigation is an investigation, don't go too far, attract the attention of the above, it will not be beneficial to you." ”
On the other side, Lin Manshu and Xiao Hanyu continue to investigate Xu Yingying's affairs, hoping to recruit the person who called her before she was killed. They came to the school where Xu Yingying studied before her death, hoping to find some clues.
"Hello, Mr. Duan. I am the lawyer representing the defendant in Xu Yingying's case, and I want to know something about Xu Yingying from you, can you?" asked Lin Manshu as she found Xu Yingying's homeroom teacher.
"Yes, you may be seated. Teacher Duan said.
After sitting down, Lin Manshu asked, "Xu Yingying was in the class before her death, did she have any special good friends?"
Although Yingying is a good student, she is usually silent and rarely has contact with her classmates. I have the impression that she only had some communication with Li Dan in the class. Teacher Duan recalled.
"Do you have Li Dan's contact information?" asked Xiao Hanyu.
"I have her mobile phone number, but she hasn't been in touch since she graduated, and I don't know if she has changed her number, I can help you find it. With that, Teacher Duan began to look for the contact list of the class.
Lin Manshu and Xiao Hanyu found Li Dan according to the contact information provided by the teacher, and went to the university where she studied to meet, and the meeting place was the school cafeteria.
Yingying does not have a good relationship with her adoptive parents, and every time she is wronged at home, she will go back to her grandmother's house if she has time. Li Dan said.
"What do you mean by not having a good relationship?" asked Lin Manshu.
Yingying's adoptive father has always had bad intentions towards her and always acted against Yingying. Her adoptive mother seems to have seen it, and has been scolding Yingying for being a vixen and seducing her adoptive father. Li Dan said, "Speaking of this, Yingying is really very aggrieved, obviously it is her adoptive father's fault, but Yingying is to blame." Her adoptive mother was always beating and scolding her. ”
After listening to Li Dan's words, Lin Manshu and Xiao Hanyu glanced at each other, this conversation was quite fruitful.
After talking, Lin Manshu gave the business card to Li Dan and said, "If you still have anything to think of, you can call the above number to contact us." ”
When Lin Manshu was investigating, Shen Lingshan was not idle, and went to Xu Yingying's home to investigate, but the focus of this investigation was not on the Xu family, but on their neighbors. Sometimes the neighbor is more likely to provide useful information than the person concerned.
"On the day Xu Yingying was killed, did you see her coming out of her home?"
Shen Lingshan saw a group of scattered people in the park of the community, which was definitely the center of the gossip in the community. When I walked over and asked, they all knew Xu Yingying, so I chatted with them.
"Yo, it's been too long, I really don't remember it. A middle-aged woman said.
"But, the reason why Yingying went out that night was mostly because there was another quarrel at home. Another woman answered.
"Do their families quarrel often?" asked Shen Lingshan.
"I often quarrel, mainly because Mrs. Xu doesn't want to see Yingying, and often beats and scolds her. Someone else said, and then she sighed: "Hey~ She was born in the blessing and didn't know the blessing, if I had a daughter who studied so well, I could wake up with a smile in my dreams." ”
"Oh, I remember, on the day of Yingying's accident, their family did have a quarrel. The second woman who spoke suddenly said again.
Everyone looked at her curiously, and she continued: "I don't remember the specifics, I just listened to the woman of that family scolding the vixen and being shameless or something. In the end, let Yingying get out. When I went out to take out the trash, I happened to see her kick Yingying out of the house. Not long after, the man from that house also went out. I thought I was looking for a child. But the next day I heard that the child had been killed. ”
Her words gave Shen Lingshan a lot of room to think, as if the truth of the matter was emerging little by little, but it was still unclear.
On Saturday night, Shen Lingshan and Xiao Mubai came to Lin Manshu's home together to discuss the case.
Lin Manshu's residence is a single-family villa with a small courtyard outside. Xiao Mubai felt familiar as soon as he stepped into the scope of the villa, he had just come here a few days ago because of the investigation of Xiao Hanyu pretending to be a policeman, but there was no one at home at that time.
"Here...... Is it Lawyer Lin's home?" asked Xiao Mubai.
"It looks quite luxurious, and the lawyer is still quite profitable. Shen Lingshan said, "But this is her client's villa, which is the one that fought with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau." On the one hand, I feel guilty, and on the other hand, I want to give her the villa. But Lin Manshu was so arrogant that she refused to accept it, so she rented it for free in the end. ”
"Is there anyone else living here besides her?" Xiao Mubai asked.
Shen Lingshan thought for a while and said, "I don't know about this. I went to her house once. ”
As they spoke, they had already walked into the courtyard, because this villa was also Lin Manshu's law firm, so the door of the villa was usually open. But the door inside was locked, so Shen Lingshan pressed the doorbell and waited outside for the owner to open the door.
"Oh, there's a guest. Xiao Hanyu heard the doorbell and got up to open the door.
Xiao Hanyu opened the door from the inside, just opposite Xiao Mubai's gaze. Xiao Mubai naturally recognized him as the one who went to the Xu family to investigate.
"That's right, it's you, the one who pretended to be the police and went to Xu's house to investigate. Xiao Mubai said after seeing Xiao Hanyu.
"It's not pretending to be a police officer, it's being mistaken for a police officer. If you're here to discuss the case, come in with a change of shoes. If you are here to arrest someone, please bring an arrest warrant, if you don't have one, you will not send it slowly. ”
Lin Manshu didn't know when she also walked over, leaning against the wall next to her, her hands around her chest, her eyes were calm, and she said in a cold tone.
Seeing her, Xiao Mubai smiled and said, "It turned out to be a misunderstanding, it seems that I was too careful." With that, he came in first and began to change his shoes.
When he lowered his head to change his shoes, Xiao Hanyu turned around and gave Lin Manshu a thumbs up. Lin Manshu didn't say anything, turned around and went back to the living room, and sat down on the sofa.
After everyone sat down, Xiao Hanyu said, "You guys say first, I'll go get a drink for our guests, what do you drink?"
Before Shen Lingshan and Xiao Mubai could say what they wanted to drink, Lin Manshu preemptively said, "There are no guests." ”
"What?" Yu Hanyu didn't understand her words.
Lin Manshu patiently explained for the first time: "The two of us are the ones who live here. She's someone I hate, he's someone I hate a lot. Where are the guests?"
Xiao Hanyu looked at Shen Lingshan and Xiao Mubai, and suddenly said, "It seems to be." ”
"Why am I such a hated person?" Xiao Mubai said aggrievedly.
"Well, for some reason, she doesn't like the police. Shen Lingshan explained.
Xiao Mubai set his eyes on Lin Manshu, who looked calm and didn't intend to make any explanation.
Xiao Mubai thought to herself: Could it be because I brought her home that night?
Xiao Mubai mistakenly thought it was the reason, and couldn't help but hook his lips and laugh. However, the real reason why Lin Manshu hates the police is not so simple.
After chatting for a while, everyone was involved in the case, and in Lin Manshu's office area, there was a white magnetic blackboard.
"Okay, let's start sorting out the case. Shen Lingshan said that because she was the only one of the four who had directly participated in the case, it was most appropriate for her to sort out the facts of the case.
"At 9:35 a.m. on July 28, 2015, the victim Xu Yingying set off from her home and took a car to Huang'an Village. Get off the highway at 11 o'clock. Ten minutes later, he got into the car of suspects Liu Maoguo and Zhang Jiahong. The next day, Xu Yingying's body was found in the woods behind Huang'an Village, and the forensic examination determined that she had been raped and killed. ”
"Because it was raining heavily on the day of the crime, no fingerprints, blood, or DNA were left, and the only clues left at the scene were footprints in the woods. ”
Shen Lingshan briefly stated the facts of the case, and on the other hand, pasted the photos of the relevant people mentioned in the case on the white magnetic blackboard, and also wrote several important time points on it.
Others listened intently as she told her about the case. It is said that the three stinkers must set one Zhuge Liang, and the four of them can always discover the truth of the case.
"The footprints left now are 25cm, and according to the calculation formula of height and footprints, the height of the suspect should be between 1.75 meters and 1.82 meters. The person who spoke now was Xiao Mubai, who pasted the photo of the footprints in his hand on the blackboard and continued, "In addition, based on the pressure distribution of the footprints and the longitudinal trajectory of the foot, the age of the suspect is about 45 years old. ”
"The two suspects were caught, and the footprints left at the crime scene were indeed the same person, and it was clear that at least one of them had been wronged. This already constitutes a condition for a retrial. Xiao Hanyu said.
Lin Manshu said: "Although it constitutes a condition for a retrial, it cannot be a condition for winning the case. You must know that this case was almost all the way to the green light without evidence, and no organ will easily admit its mistakes, so we still have to find tangible evidence to have a chance of winning. ”
In the following time, the four of them gathered the information they had gotten again. The division of labor was determined, Lin Manshu and Xiao Hanyu continued to track down the whereabouts of the mobile phone, Shen Lingshan launched an investigation around Xu Yingying's adoptive parents, and Xiao Mubai used the convenience of his police status to compare and analyze the footprints of Liu Maoguo and Zhang Jiahong with the footprints left at the crime scene, which required him to send the case materials to the Footprints Firm Division.
