Chapter 69: Just Defense?
It was cold enough in January, especially at night, when the sun lost its rays and the cold swept across the land.
The party upstairs was coming to an end, Min Xue held his mobile phone and stood at the door of the CCTV building with a confused expression, looking at Cai Xiangdong who hurriedly walked in from outside.
"Didn't you go home for the New Year, and you ran back again, what's the trouble?"
Cai Xiangdong didn't have the hippie smile of the past, but his face was solemn, "Let's go in first." ”
Today's security guard at the gate is still the one who did his duty that day, but Min Xue has been messing around inside for so many days recently, and a temporary pass is still easy to get, and the two of them entered smoothly.
"What the hell is going on? Sheng Hong again?"
The elevator went up, and Min Xue couldn't help asking.
Although Cai Xiangdong's hometown is not far away, it is only more than two hours by car, but the person who can make Cai Xiangdong rush back to the capital the day before the New Year, except for this His Royal Highness, Min Xue really can't think of anyone else.
Cai Xiangdong nodded, uncharacteristically without any negative emotions.
This is strange! Whoever is called back like this at this time can't be in a very comfortable mood, right? Not to mention Cai Xiangdong, who has always had a bad opinion of Sheng Hong?
"Is it serious?" Min Xue could only speculate.
Cai Xiangdong was silent for a while, and then said slowly, "It's serious, come to the scene with me." ”
"Scene?" Min Xue keenly noticed this word, and a bad premonition surged in his heart.
Sheng Hong's dressing room, Min Xue only knows the approximate location, because every star who owns a dressing room independently will have his name posted on the door, so he doesn't have to worry about finding a place.
But soon, Min Xue knew that his worries were unnecessary.
Because the door of a dressing room has been blocked by the police, the cordon has been raised.
In the distance, a strong smell of blood poured into the nostrils.
Min Xue was sure that this was Sheng Hong's dressing room, because he heard Sheng Hong's sobs, faintly coming from inside the door.
There were crowds of people around to watch the excitement, because the party was nearing the end, and many people had already left, so there were not many onlookers.
The scene was when Sensei wanted to enter, so he stood outside the door to take a look, but soon he didn't even see the excitement, because the crowd was immediately dispersed.
Cai Xiangdong took out his lawyer's card and walked to a policeman on duty, "I'm Sheng Hong's lawyer, and I want to see Sheng Hong himself." ”
"I'm sorry, Sheng Hong is now involved in a criminal case and can't have contact with the outside world for the time being. The police sternly refused.
Cai Xiangdong also knew that there was little hope, after all, the law clearly stipulates that a suspect can only retain a lawyer as a defender from the date of the first interrogation by the investigating organ or the date on which compulsory measures are taken, and after entrusting a lawyer, he can go to the detention center to meet in accordance with the law.
"I know, I want to see the person in charge of the case, can I? Cai Xiangdong asked again.
The policeman looked at Cai Xiangdong's ID and nodded, "I'll go ask for instructions." ”
After that, Cai Xiangdong was invited to a dressing room next door, beckoned to Min Xue before leaving, and said to the fellow policeman, "This is also a witness." ”
So the two sat together in the dressing room next door.
"I'm also a witness?" Min Xue was a little confused, "This is a criminal case, you can be serious." ”
"Things at work, how could I mess around," Cai Xiangdong said with a reassuring expression.
"So what's going on?" is already involved in a criminal case, and it's not a matter of privacy or privacy.
Cai Xiangdong sorted out his thoughts, and then spoke, "At about eight or nine o'clock in the evening, I was chatting with my mother when I received a call from Sheng Hong." ”
"Originally, I didn't want to take it when I saw that it was her, and I couldn't let people stop for two days for the New Year. ”
As a result, Sheng Hong's calls came one after another, and my mother knew that it was a customer, so she answered it. ”
"I didn't expect... When I picked up the phone, Sheng Hong's tone was very panicked, mixed with crying, saying that she had killed someone!"
Min Xue, "...... , killed his husband?"
Cai Xiangdong nodded in confirmation, "That's right, Mai Yuan is dead." But to be precise, it is not intentional homicide, but justified self-defense. ”
According to Sheng Hong, Mai Yuan came to her and said that she wanted to talk alone, so she asked the three assistants to go out and guard the door, but everyone didn't talk, and Mai Yuan actually took out a knife and pounced. ”
"You also know that Mai Yuan is full of poisons, and his body has been almost taken out, although he is holding a knife, he still can't succeed in one blow, and between the two sides, I don't know how to get it, the knife just cut the main artery of Mai Yuan's neck..."
It's hard to describe this picture...
"So, what you mean by human testimony is to prove that Mai Yuan has indeed always had the intention to hurt or even kill?"
"That's right, that's what it means, and you also know that in order to determine legitimate defense in a criminal case, in addition to the elements such as the ongoing unlawful infringement and the awareness of defense, many other factors must be considered. Cai Xiangdong reconfirmed Min Xue's words.
Min Xue expressed his understanding that the concepts of justifiable defense, excessive defense, and negligent death are sometimes difficult to define in reality.
Justifiable defense does not constitute a crime, and excessive defense and negligence causing death must be convicted and sentenced.
Although Cai Xiangdong is not very interested in Sheng Hongqi, as a lawyer, no matter what the character and quality of the client is, he will not be less responsible.
After about half an hour, the time had reached nearly one o'clock in the morning, and the door of the dressing room opened, and a male policeman in his thirties, with a young policeman, walked in.
Somewhat surprised, he glanced at Min Xue, who was dressed in a police uniform, and then the policeman who took the lead introduced himself, "I am Peng Jitong from the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Zhaoyang Branch, and this is Officer Zhao." ”
According to the process, Officer Zhao, a young policeman, is responsible for recording a series of information such as the names of Min Xue and the others.
Hearing Min Xue's personal information, Peng Jitong was a little surprised.
"So you're Min Xue?"
Min Xue, "?"
"Tsk, I heard the master mention it, saying that I recently met a very spiritual young man, and it must be you. ”
"Are you an apprentice of the Guan team?"
Peng Jitong nodded.
Min Xuehe, is it possible that Guan Hongji's apprentices are all over the country?
The two did not discuss in detail, after all, they were in the process of making a transcript.
"I heard that you two know something about this case?"
Cai Xiangdong nodded, and repeated what he had learned to the two police officers in charge of the investigation of the case, and told about the situation when he, as Sheng Hong's lawyer, was threatened by Mai Yuan's side when he represented the case.
Min Xue, as a non-pure soy sauce party, also said that when he was with Cai Xiangdong, he did see him threatened. However, Min Xue was cautious about this, and did not determine that the person who carried out the threat was Mai Yuan, but only speculated from common sense.
Although this may be a little unfavorable to Sheng Hong, the speculation of the criminal case is meaningless, and in the final analysis, everything still depends on the evidence.
And somehow, Min Xue always had a strange feeling, there seems to be something wrong with Sheng Hong's case?
