Whether he was wronged or not, you can find out by looking at the corpse.

The question now is how Yang Baoyou can prove his innocence if he is not a murderer and he can't catch the real murderer for a while, and how can he avoid an unjust, false and wrongful case.

Han Jun took the mouse, called up Yang Baoyou's photo again, and asked lightly: "What did the case-handling personnel learn from the visit and inquiry?" ”

"Two days before the incident, the victim had a heated dispute with Yang Baoyou because the irrigation canal between the two families was in disrepair, and moved more than ten centimeters to the south, that is, to her homestead. The noise was very loud, and the neighbors around knew it. ”

Farmers attach great importance to land, especially the ridges between two plots of land, which often become the fuse of neighborhood conflicts.

Han Jun is the son of a farmer who grew up in the countryside, and he has seen a lot of this kind of thing, so he asked with a puzzled face: "The canal has collapsed and the area of the homestead has decreased, so I should go to the person who fetches water and release the water, or find the village cadre, why did she quarrel with Yang Baoyou?" ”

Deng Nanqing explained with a wry smile: "Yang Baoyou is in charge of their irrigation, and the water pump is installed by the small river between the two families. The relationship between the other two is not particularly bad. Often because of some trivial things, the quarrel is red-faced. What is the matter between the two families, and they are in contact with each other.

For example, Yang Baoyou's wife died of cancer, Yang Baoyou was 60 years old, Yang Baoyou's second son was 40 years old, Yang Baoyou's eldest granddaughter was admitted to college for a treat, and the victim not only went, but also borrowed bowls, borrowed tables, and borrowed stools, and at night let Yang's family stay far away, and it was not convenient to go back to relatives to spend the night.

In addition, the victim's son can be said to have been brought up by Yang Baoyou's granddaughter. When I was a child, I often played and ate at Yang's house; If there is anything in the victim's family, it is also called the Yang family, and there are many Yang families, and they even have to prepare a special table of wine and food. ”

Han Jun said as a matter of course: "Good relatives are not as good as close neighbors, our hometown is the same, no matter how fierce the quarrel is, we will give face and favor when we have something, and we will not see you when you look up, and there are very few people who do not get along with each other when you are old and dead." After all, the older generation has contradictions, and the younger generation still has to get along. ”

Deng Nanqing also believes that Yang Baoyou cannot be concluded to have a motive for killing based on this alone. He said in a low voice: "Yang Baoyou's two sons are buying a house in the county, the other is buying a house in the town, and the eldest granddaughter is admitted to college, and life is relatively prosperous." And ten years ago. Because of the large number of children and the large burden, the economic conditions of the Yang family are far inferior to those of the Wu family.

Ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi, the gap suddenly widened so much, and the villagers responded that Chen Xifeng was very jealous, and the relationship between the two families was not as good as before. Especially one or two years before the incident. often quarrels with Yang Baoyou because of some trivial things. But as you just said, you spoke again a few days after the quarrel. ”

"She shouldn't have been in school for a few years, right?"

"I didn't graduate from primary school, so I didn't have much education."

Thinking of a woman in her hometown who was "invincible all over the village" when she was a child, and even the village cadres walked around, Han Jun asked again: "Is she very strong at home, and does her husband obey her?" ”

"Yes, she is very strong, and at the same time very capable, she cultivates more than ten acres of land by herself, and many big men are inferior to her."

"Where's my father-in-law?"

"My father-in-law died a few years ago. The mother-in-law is alive, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very tense. Chen Xifeng has a very big opinion of her, thinking that the old man favors the second child and the sister-in-law, does not help her with farm work, does not help her take care of the children, does not live together, and usually does not interact much. ”

Jiang Yi said coldly: "Not filial!" ”

Han Jun glanced back at her and said expressionlessly: "Many things are not what you think, who doesn't want to be a filial son." Who doesn't want to be a filial daughter-in-law, who wants to be poked in the backbone? In rural areas, filial piety not only requires the elders to be worthy of the younger generations, but also has the capital of filial piety. If the days are tight. Sunrise and sunset, so busy that she can't even eat, and she is tired like a dog, how can you make her filial? ”

"Master, do you sympathize with her?"

When he was a child, life was too hard, and Han Jun couldn't help but think that he was no longer with his parents. Thinking of her sister, who endured hardships like her mother, she said meaningfully: "I sympathize with all the peasants who have given a lot but have not received their due rewards. It's too difficult for them to make some money, they can't be hungry, but they can't get sick, they can't encounter anything, otherwise they can't live their lives. ”

Cases of returning to poverty due to illness are not uncommon, and this topic is too heavy.

Xia Moqing took over the conversation and said thoughtfully: "The materials show that almost every conflict is provoked by Chen Xifeng, although Yang Baoyou didn't swallow his anger and quarreled with her every time, but he can be regarded as fed up with the victim's guilt, from this point of view, he has a motive to commit the crime." ”

Han Jun would not make a conclusion lightly, and asked with a smile: "How to explain the polygraph results?" ”

"If you tell a lie 10,000 times, it will become the truth, self-hypnosis, coaxing yourself, it is not impossible to detect it, there are such cases in reality. Therefore, the results of psychological tests can only be used as a reference, not as evidence. ”

Xia Moqing paused and continued: "In addition, this case has its peculiarities, the victim's forehead injury was very slight, only a small bruise was caused, the skull was not damaged, and even the skin was not broken, in other words, she fell to her death. It's entirely possible that the suspect is based on this, feeling very comfortable and having a psychological element that other homicide suspects don't have. ”

Deng Nanqing added: "It is impossible for other villagers to commit crimes, and the possibility of outsiders wandering around to commit crimes is almost zero, and Yang Baoyou's footprints and fingerprints were extracted from the scene of the crime, and Yang Baoyou admitted that he had stolen a nail rake." There are not so many coincidences in the world, and this statement is hard to believe, so the task force thinks that he did it.

Considering that the fatal injury was in the back of the head, and in order to close the case as much as possible, the third transfer to the prosecutor's office was no longer for intentional homicide, but for prosecution for intentional injury. Under pressure, the procuratorate called back again and once again asked the county bureau to supplement the investigation. From intentional homicide to intentional injury, to accidental death three months ago, the crime became lighter and lighter each time, and Yang Baoyou denied it again and again, insisting that he was wronged. ”

The procuratorate adheres to the principle, and the county public security bureau seems to be very child's play.

But then again, this situation can be considered a step forward. At the very least, it can be seen that the police did not torture to extract confessions, and the local leaders did not interfere with the handling of the case by the public procuratorate and the law.

Han Jun pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned around and smiled, "Dr. Xiao, tell me your opinion." ”

The county bureau is in a dilemma and has been overwhelmed, the city bureau is helpless, the provincial department is not sure that it is difficult to express its position, and even the preliminary investigation team of the Ministry of Public Security, which is full of talents, knows the difficulties and retreats, what can I think?

Xiao Chenyu sighed secretly, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Professor, I feel that we are not analyzing the facts of the case, but studying whether the legal issue of 'no guilt in doubt' can be applied. ”

"In a word!"

Han Jun slammed the table with a "snap" and said with a hearty smile: "Never guilty in doubt, which means that the defendant should be presumed innocent when it is neither proven guilty nor innocent. In court, if the evidence is insufficient to find the defendant guilty, a not-guilty verdict shall be rendered that the evidence is insufficient and the alleged crime cannot be established.

The case we are discussing is the opposite, and the evidence, at least on the face of it, is sufficient, and even if Yang Baoyou insists that he is innocent, the court can still reach a verdict. The reason why it has been delayed until now is entirely due to the polygraph report, which cannot be used as evidence. The procuratorate was very cautious and did not dare to prosecute lightly. Directly guide the public security bureau to know the law and break the law, and detain it for an extended period of time. ”

Xiao Chenyu couldn't help but smile and asked, "Professor, if you were a judge, how would you judge?" ”

"Didn't the case go to court?"

"I mean if."

Han Jun weighed it and said very entangledly: "If I go to the court, if I were the presiding judge, I would not hesitate to convict him, although I know very well in my heart that he is likely to be innocent." ”

"If he didn't do it, in fact, it is likely that he didn't do it, so it won't be an unjust, false and wrongful case?"

"Yes, but the judge is responsible for the law, as long as the procedure is okay and the provisions of the law are properly applied, there is no responsibility. In addition, I am a licensed lawyer in the United States, and I can only serve as a judge in the United States, not a judge in China, and the jury has the final say on whether the murder charge is convicted or not. ”

Xiao Chenyu smiled bitterly: "Procedural justice." ”

"Therefore, there are unjust, false and wrongful cases in the United States, and if the American judge encounters such a situation, he does not need to apologize, he only needs to express regret."

Jiang Yi was made to laugh, pouting and muttering: "Master, you are now a policeman, not a judge!" ”

Professor Han nodded solemnly and said with a stern face: "So the next step is not only to find out the truth, but also to find evidence." Whether it is evidence that he killed or evidence that he did not kill. ”

Li Hui is just a student, not a formal policeman, so he is not qualified to speak, and has been silent. Hearing this, I finally couldn't help but ask: "After so much time, how to check, how to find evidence?" ”

"If you can't help it, you have to find a way."

Professor Han stood up, walked into the bathroom and took out the mop, and gestured: "Actually, this case is not without suspicions, because under normal circumstances, no one will use a nail rake handle to smash people. Second, the nail rake handle is made of bamboo poles, which is not easy to cause substantial damage to the other party.

If I were to scare people with a nail rake, I would definitely do the other way around, grab the bamboo handle, and swing the iron rake to smash it. If you want to kill someone, you must be like turning over the ground, and greet the other person with a sharp rake tip. Grabbing the bottom and knocking it on the top, it doesn't look like killing someone, it looks like you're joking with the other party. ”

Xia Moqing said thoughtfully: "But the fingerprint direction can be matched." ”

"It's normal, after the work, someone carries a nail rake on their shoulders, and someone takes it like this. In short, there is no norm for how to hold it easily. ”

Professor Han put the mop aside and continued, "In addition, why didn't Yang Baoyou run, why did he sit at home and wait for the police to arrest him." Moreover, a farmer like him who is in his 60s and almost 70, who doesn't know a few big characters, and probably hasn't been out much, can't fool a lie detector at all. ”

"You think he's wronged?"

"Not only do I think so, but it is estimated that the prosecutors and the county bureau case-handling personnel think so, but the pressure to solve the case is too great, and the real culprit has not been found, and they are worried that they will not be able to explain to the victim's family, so they dare not release the person lightly."
