Chapter 348: Another Case
Song Guyan didn't expect Ma Tianming's case to end so quickly, let alone end in such a way.
Recalling so many cases in the Criminal Investigation Brigade, it seems that few can be perfect. Song Guyan's strong self-esteem was seriously damaged, and he was unusually unwilling. She has always been so strong and wants to be the best at everything! She believes that with her own efforts, there is nothing that she can't do.
But these are not something that Song Guyan can control, Chen Yanruo's plan is a mistake, but these small loopholes are too slight in the face of excessive defense.
He even said that if the court had defined the case differently, Chen Yanruo might have been acquitted. According to the interpretation of the Criminal Law, a person who takes defensive actions against an ongoing assault, homicide, robbery, forced female involvement, kidnapping, or other violent crimes that seriously endanger personal safety, causing injury or death to the unlawful offender, is not considered to be in excessive defense and does not bear criminal responsibility.
In layman's terms, it means that when Chen Yanruo was violently attacked by Ma Tianming, the resistance she launched can be considered as legitimate defense. Justifiable self-defense is one of the provisions or circumstances that exclude criminality.
The special provisions on unlimited defense in justifiable defense exclude death by defense of such violent crimes that seriously endanger personal safety as excessive defense, which does not constitute a crime and does not pursue criminal responsibility.
In many cases, sufficient evidence is required to prove that every detail is in accordance with the circumstances. In cases where the victim has already died, and there is a lack of eyewitnesses at the scene, it is difficult to establish legitimate defense.
However, Chen Yanruo does not need to worry about these at all, the surveillance video retrieved from the hotel can completely determine that she is in a legitimate defense situation. Of course, whether it can be recognized as legitimate defense depends on the game between the lawyer and the court. After all, if Chen Yan moved the body and faked the scene, it might be considered a false defense, which also required criminal responsibility.
But even in the worst case, Chen Yanruo will be locked up for a few years at most.
For Song Guyan, who is jealous and hateful, this is completely unacceptable. Ma Tian is obviously hateful, but this is not the reason why Chen Yanruo set a trap to kill him.
A breath was held in Song Guyan's chest, but she couldn't do anything at all. She tried to find all the evidence she could find. may have done everything that has been done, and the case has to be closed here, and it will be handed over to the procuratorate and the court for closure, no matter how reluctant Song Guyan is, he has to abide by this set of procedures.
Song Guyan had a word with Zhou You before, and after Ma Tianming's case was over, he would take him abroad. Zhou You looked forward to it for a few days, but when he saw the sullen appearance of the shovel officer, Zhou You didn't mention it.
"Another case?"
Song Guyan recovered slightly.
Xi Yao nodded hard, she knew that Song Guyan was a little depressed, and specially helped her win the case, wanting her to regain some confidence.
"Let's go!" Song Guyan didn't say a word, picked up Zhou You and ran out of the office.
Zhou You's face is innocent, in fact, Ben Wang is definitely full of confidence, and he doesn't need another case to regain confidence. Shovel officer, you can really go on your own, it may be more refreshing to enjoy success alone.
The scene of the crime is located in Jingang Garden, which is an old community. During the construction of the drainage canal, the excavator used an excavator to remove the soil, and the body was transported to another ditch along with the soil and rocks by the vehicle transporting the earth, and the body was found by the workers who processed the soil and rock.
When Song Guyan arrived at the scene, the surroundings had been cordoned off by the police. Workers and eyewitnesses are taking notes, and forensic doctors are conducting preliminary site investigations.
The bodies were wrapped and bundled from head to toe in plastic bags, quilt covers, and woven bags, and the bodies were highly decomposed and unrecognizable. The female forensic doctor of Iceberg is directing her colleague wearing a mask to load the body onto a vehicle and prepare to transport it back to the laboratory for further identification.
The situation at the scene was complicated, and there were many onlookers, so it was not possible to carry out a more detailed inspection. The main reason is that I am afraid that some pictures will be taken by the masses and transmitted to the Internet, which will lead public opinion and bring passivity to the police.
"The body was female, between 25 and 30 years old. Except for clothing, earrings, wraps, there are no items that can prove the identity of the deceased. There were many injuries of varying degrees all over the body, and there were many additional factors in the process of excavator and transportation, so it was difficult to determine the cause of death," said the female forensic doctor and Song Guyan.
"The damage to the site is quite serious, this area has been renovating the old city, and the drainage ditch has been repaired many times, and even the topography has been changed. ”
The female forensic doctor frowned as she spoke, obviously this badly damaged scene and highly decomposed corpse had caused great interference to her on-site inquest and autopsy.
"Can you confirm the time of death?"
The female forensic doctor shook her head: "The environmental disturbance is too serious, the corpse is very decomposed, some parts have been ossified, and the time of death cannot be confirmed for the time being." ”
"I'll just try to see if I can determine the time of death with the device. ”
The difficulty of solving a case depends on the number of clues. Ma Tianming's case is very complicated, but after all, there are still clues, and Song Guyan can grasp the clue. And this corpse dumping case, because it was discovered late, all the useful things disappeared into time.
"Arrange for the police to visit the surrounding residents to see if there are any missing persons in recent years. Song Guyan frowned and said, "Please find some people and re-examine the corpses at the scene to see if there is any remaining physical evidence." ”
If there are no clues, then the only way to die is to resort.
The method of death looks silly, and if the body is transported to the area from a distance, it may be a wasted effort. But until there are more clues, the only way to die is what the police can do.
Returning to the city bureau, Song Guyan plunged into the forensic laboratory to see if the forensic doctor had found anything.
Zhou Yu avoids the laboratory, for fear of seeing something in it that affects his appetite. Ma Tianming's corpse has only been around for a few days, so he can't eat for several days. This time it was several years, and I couldn't imagine traveling around.
The corpse was so decomposited that the forensic doctor was able to determine the age and approximate size of the deceased at best. At least for the police who visited and investigated, there were some clues, so that when they asked, they couldn't figure out the special diagnosis of physical appearance.
"The earrings on the ears of the corpses, the plastic bags and woven bags that wrap the corpses, we have restored them as much as possible, and I hope they will be helpful to your investigation. The female medical examiner said.
Compared with the decomposing corpses, these things are very well preserved, and there are also some labels of origin and origin, which can be regarded as a trace of traceability.
Song Guyan took a look at the analysis report, and the plastic bag was the kind of big bag that was specially used for vegetables. Unlike in the north, when you buy vegetables, you can buy a sack, and the climate here in Shanghai determines that if you buy too many vegetables, they will easily rot. Generally, the plastic bags used in families are relatively small, and those that can have large plastic belts can basically lock the vegetable market, wholesale market, and catering industry.
Song Guyan thought about the place where the body was dumped, not the surrounding residents, so he probably wouldn't notice the unique environment here. If it weren't for the municipal government's old city renovation project around Jingang Garden, there would be basically no one here for the drainage canal. In other words, the murderer should be familiar with the surrounding environment.
Combined with the working environment and proximity of the murderer, the police need to visit and investigate many fewer targets.
It's just that Shanghai's population mobility is too poor, and many of the things that happened more than two years ago will be forgotten. If it was a person from another city who committed the crime, two years was enough for him to leave the city of Shanghai.
Song Guyan focused on the earrings, which were slightly more expensive than cheap plastic bags and woven bags.
Judging from the clothing and fabrics, the deceased's economic situation is not very good, so the grade of the jewelry store that needs to be found is not very high. Soon, there was news from the visiting police.
A chain of jewelry stores in downtown Shanghai recognized these earrings as their unique custom style. Because of the style problem, the sales are not very good, although it has been too long, the monitoring in the store has long been deleted, but at least the scope has been narrowed down.
A large number of police officers spread out, and they also sent back real or false news.
Song Guyan wanted to quickly solve the rhythm of the case, and personally went into battle to review the suspects.
ran several households in a row, and Song Guyan combined the household registration information to temporarily rule out their suspicion.
Traveling around on all fours, lying on the back seat and falling asleep. The weather is so good, it's a waste of time to do anything.
"Soy milk powder!
"I know how to eat, sleep and sleep all day long, so what good results can I get if I go to the competition like this?" Song Guyan looked at the lazy Labrador and was angry.
Zhou You squinted his sleepy eyes, what did the shovel officer say just now?
What kind of competition?Does it have anything to do with going abroad?
"Wang~"
"Wang~"
Zhou You shouted at Song Guyan, the most annoying thing is that he is the person who doesn't continue halfway through the talk. It's a lot of fun.
Song Guyan snorted, ignoring the Labrador who was pestering her.
"Whew-whew-"
Zhou You tried his best to control his emotions, fearing that he would be so angry that he would explode on the spot.
Damn, a chicken, can you make it clear!
Song Guyan parked the car, unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car, and Zhou You hurriedly followed.
If you want to get something out of the mouth of the shovel officer, you have to show 100% dogleg demeanor.
Very dilapidated small yard, the location is not bad, but the environment is really poor. The landlord is just waiting for the demolition, and then relying on the demolition fee to make a fortune. Usually, it is rented to outsiders at a low price, saving no one to live in it for a long time, and the house collapses because of unpopularity.
There were bundles of cardboard in the yard, and bags of plastic bottles.
Smelling some sour smell in the air, Zhou You couldn't help frowning.
This can't be a recycling station, right?
A young policeman was waiting at the door, and after confirming Song Guyan's identity, he explained the situation to her in detail.
Living in the small house are a pair of grandchildren, and the old woman usually picks up garbage and does not have any source of livelihood. When the police asked her son and daughter-in-law, the old woman avoided talking. When she wanted to ask about the child, the old woman stopped the child and drove the police out of the house.
"Has the temporary residence permit been checked?"
The police nodded: "I just contacted the director of the village, and this one is registered with the child's father, but he doesn't live here on weekdays." ”
"We checked the information in the system, and in the past few years, they have changed at least three addresses. ”
"When did you start changing your place of residence frequently?" Song Guyan's heart moved, and he quickly asked.
"Well~ more than two years ago, but the previous information registration is not detailed, and it is not clear where they live. ”
More than two years ago, he began to change his temporary residence, and the time of the victim's death was about the same time.
If it's just a coincidence, then there's nothing to dive into. If it is not a coincidence, then this old woman has a major suspicion.
Song Guyan knocked on the door several times, obviously hearing the voice of a child inside, but soon quieted down.
The police glanced at Song Guyan, whether to force him in.
Song Guyan pointed outside the courtyard and walked out with the police.
"Keep an eye on her, don't let her run away with the baby. I went to find out that there was no detailed information about them. ”
The police nodded and found two colleagues.
The police system is still very strong, so many population surveys and strict procedures for temporary residence permits, through the registration of temporary residence information, the family information of the old woman was locked.
The old woman had a son who used to run a small restaurant in the Tsu Port Garden. I don't know why, I suddenly closed the store and left two years ago, and left Shanghai.
There are all kinds of indications that the old woman and her son are suspected of committing the crime.
The rest of the matter is logical, the owners around the small restaurant reacted, once saw a young woman in the restaurant often come and go. A name search was carried out, and several provinces and municipalities were coordinated to trace the report, and it was quickly established that there was a report of missing persons in Lu'an County.
Hucheng quickly passed on the DNA information of the deceased to the police in Lu'an County, and after comparison, the identity of the deceased was confirmed.
The high level of decomposition of the bodies and the destruction of clues at the scene may make such cases possible for the police in many countries to be sealed. It's not that people don't work hard, but it's too difficult, and the police in many countries are not subordinate, so it's too hard to coordinate with the police in other regions.
However, in China, the unique national conditions and strict household registration system, using visits and investigations and cooperation in many places, confirmed the identity of the deceased in a very short period of time.
The power of the masses also contributed to it, and some people responded that the deceased was working in a small restaurant. After the wife of the owner of the small restaurant ran away with someone, he often went out to fool around.
Someone saw the owner of the small restaurant doing something to the deceased, but the deceased resisted more fiercely, and the boss touched the dust of his nose.
This information is relatively fragmented, but it is enough for Song Guyan to deduce the entire process of the case.
