Chapter 95: Procedural Justice

Of course, Du Jing would not choose to torture this Agui to extract a confession, this is not his consistent style.

Torture to extract confessions may lead to unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, but this is not an important reason for prohibiting torture to extract confessions.

When he first joined the police, there was a master in the team, and his name called out that the legs of the deflated gangsters in the whole city were a little softer, and this was all beaten by him.

However, he has never handled an unjust, false and wrongful case, because the master never does it casually, he only beats those suspects who have some clues and evidence, but the evidence is not conclusive.

It's the kind of hard-mouthed suspect who obviously did it and didn't admit it.

Generally, when encountering this kind of person, the master will choose to fight to the death!

The old master once told Du Jing that with his personal experience, 100% of extorted confessions by torture will not cause unjust, false and wrongful convictions, and according to the official data of the leaders, 70% of extorted confessions by torture will not cause unjust people to commit crimes.

Originally, Du Jing was also ready to follow the old master to learn this deterrent route, but then the old master was reported to torture to extract confessions and squatted in the same number with those prisoners who had been beaten by him, so Du Jing gave up.

After that, Du Jing also visited the master, and when the master told him again, he had already lost his vigor back then.

But Du Jing still remembered the meaning of the master's words clearly.

Torture is not allowed to extort confessions not because it will cause unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, but because the procedures and methods are improper!

As a law enforcer, we should not only focus on outcome justice, but also on procedural justice.

Once there is a conflict between procedural justice and outcome, the enforcer must choose procedural justice.

Because the only justice in this world that can be looked up to by us is the so-called chivalrous spirit.

But is there really a chivalrous spirit in the world?

The old master also said a famous quote from Martin Luther King, Jr., as a wake-up call to Du Jing.

"The means represent the justice that is being traveled and the ideal that is being realized, and people cannot achieve the goal of justice through unjust means, because the means are the seeds, and the ends are the trees!"

Du Jing thought of these past events and couldn't help but smile, that world was too far away from him, and the rules of that world were getting farther and farther away from him.

Is it still necessary for him to follow?

There is no torture in the system, but everything in the system is procedural justice.

But the suspicion in this guy is too big, if he is really a suspect, he can be so calm and calm to do three cases in a row, and he can behave so normally in front of himself, presumably his psychological quality must be very outstanding, and his own interrogation methods must not be very good on him.

Do you have to use the methods you learned from your master?

After Du Jing pondered for a long time, he still held back, he decided to get up and go back to the back kitchen to take a turn and chat with that Ah Gui for a simple temptation.

Because of the case, the five people in the back kitchen did not go home, and they were not allowed to go home, so most of them chatted about today's case in the courtyard.

"Du Zhutou, are you here? You sit, you sit. Seeing Du Jing standing behind them, the chef hurriedly gave up the only bench under his ass to Du Jing.

Du Jing waved his hand and said, "Don't sit down, let's chat with you." ”

"Du Zhutou, if you have anything to say, just ask, we promise to cooperate with you!" said several kitchen helpers.

"Yes, Du Zhutou. We all know you're a good guy and you're here for us. ”

Du Jing waved his hand and said, "Not really, how old are you this year, Agui?"

In fact, these are also in the transcript, and Du Jing asked later.

Agui cowardly took half a step back and said softly: "I am 17 years old this year, a native of Shixian, and I fled to the imperial city. ”

Du Jing nodded, no different from what was said in the transcript.

"What are you trying to retreat, isn't it possible that you are a suspect?" Du Jing asked with a smile.

But he didn't want the young man named Ah Gui to take two steps back again, waved his hand again and again and said, "No, it's not, it's not me!"

The chef also stood up and said with a smile: "You kid, Du Zhutou is just talking to you and playing, so that it scares you." ”

After that, he said to Du Zhutou: "Du Zhutou, this kid is this cowardly character, but he is very smart, and he learns really quickly."

And he is not a person who can do it, I can guarantee that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Agui. ”

"Oh?" Du Jing wanted to hear how the chef excused him.

"Du Zhutou, Agui came a few days earlier than the dead monk! he couldn't have known in advance where the monk lived and came to us in advance to find a living, right?"

Another cook hurriedly said, "Yes, yes! And I've heard from others that the monk didn't live in our Gongbu Lane before he came to the Imperial City, but lived somewhere else." ”

"Yes, yes, I've also heard that he seems to have shown his wealth in the teahouse, so he changed the inn. No matter how powerful Ah Gui is, he can't know a few days in advance that people are going to change inns, this is absolutely impossible for Ah Gui to do. ”

These cooks tried their best to excuse Ah Gui, so much so that Du Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that Le Yuyang is mainly to blame himself for his death.

If he hadn't asked him to live near Gongbu Lane, he wouldn't have been sent into this Gui's mouth.

Du Jing suddenly asked, "What cities did Shixian pass through to the Imperial City?"

Agui thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I entered a few cities, but I don't know how many cities they are." ”

This is an impeccable statement, and if he can really say it according to the location on the geographical map, it is obviously unrealistic.

Only this kind of answer is in line with the identity of the chaotic civilians, who think that most of the civilians do not know how to read, and they cannot remember any geographical locations and place names.

It seems that this Agui is really a bit of a pound.

Du Jing asked again: "Shixian has come a long way here, what do you do for a living along the way?"

This is forcing Agui to keep making up lies, and finally when there are enough questions, Agui's lies will not be able to justify themselves, and Du Jing is waiting for that moment.

"I picked up some dry firewood along the road to change a bowl of rice for those who needed it, and finally came to the imperial city. ”

When Du Jing was about to ask something more, the woman who was washing suddenly shouted: "By the way, Du Zhutou remembered a person, who delivered firewood!"

The chef slapped his thigh and shouted, "Yes, we forgot about him! This guy didn't come to deliver firewood today! It must be him!"

Why did another one pop up? Du Jing couldn't help but ask with some confusion: "Tell me about it carefully." ”
