Early in the morning, Ling Li went to a provincial hospital to participate in the physical examination according to the time notified.

Last year's physical examination was also in this hospital, and she heard the various processes clearly. Get the card first, and then take a blood test on an empty stomach, B-ultrasound, and X-ray, which basically takes a morning.

It's just that this year's project seems to be a little different.

The routine blood test is generally five test tubes, which may be increased or decreased according to different items.

In front of her was an assistant at their law firm, the nurse held five short, thick, and thick test tubes of different colors, and pricked the needle through the vein on the inside of her arm, and the dark red blood flowed out, and it didn't take long to fill the tubes.

Ling Li frowned, her blood draw is not too easy to find, sometimes the nurse's skill is inferior, and it takes a few punctures to find the position, so she has always been a little afraid of blood drawing.

After the last draw, it was her turn immediately.

Fortunately, this nurse is a veteran, looking at Ling Li's situation, her eyelids didn't move, it seems that this is not difficult for her at all.

Ling Li handed the card to the nurse, who glanced at the items on the computer, then got up and took an extra test tube containing blood.

She was stunned and asked with some curiosity, "Do I have more projects?" ”

The nurse didn't raise her head, still carefully looking for which place on the inside of Ling Li's arm was good to start, and replied casually: "Isn't it a genetic defect screening customized by your unit?" It's not cheap, and your boss is kind of to you employees. ”

Ling Li suddenly remembered that Zhu Jinchuan had taken away the case she was waiting for in court very unreasonably before, remembered his unfinished words in the office, remembered his reminder before leaving the door, and remembered the unreasonable weirdness of this physical examination arrangement.

These things seemed to be strung together by a hidden thread, which made the speculation in her heart faintly point in one direction, and her heart was confused for a while.

She twisted her neck uneasily, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the test tube in the nurse's hand.

Her blood was flowing down the hose into the stocky test tube, the dark red color of the transparent tube that pierced her eyes.

"Okay, press the proximal end of the blood vessel above the pinhole for five minutes, so as not to stop the bleeding and form ecchymosis." The nurse shook the test tube in her hand while reminding Ling Li that the blood draw had been completed.

Ling Li woke up like a dream, raised her head in a hurry, and her face turned pale.

"Are you fainting blood? Do you want to sit a little longer? The nurse looked at her and was a little worried.

"No, no, I'm fine." Ling Li pressed the tampon ball and stood up and got out of the way.

The place where the blood was drawn was faintly painful, and she could feel the rhythm of the veins beating through the cotton ball. Suddenly, the pulse gave her the illusion of hearing her own heartbeat in a noisy hospital.

In the next physical examination, her mind kept lingering with the thoughts just now, so that even the position of pressing the blood vessels was shifted, and the bleeding was not stopped in time, and the skin was bruised.

In the afternoon, Zhu Jinchuan came back from the consulting company, and before entering the office, he saw the conspicuous subcutaneous bleeding in the crook of her elbow, and couldn't help frowning and asking, "Is your blood clotting function not very good?" It's time to strengthen nutrition. ”

Ling Li smiled far-fetchedly: "No, it's just careless when pressing, it looks scary, but in fact, it can be absorbed in a few days, and it doesn't hurt." ”

Zhu Jinchuan nodded: "You are not a child either, take care of yourself." ”

Ling Li nodded, feeling a little uneasy and anxious, thinking about whether to ask Zhu Jinchuan for confirmation of her guess.

But the words came to my lips, but I still didn't have the strength to say them.

Maybe Zhu Jinchuan wanted to hide from her to investigate, and she already had the answer.

Zhu Jinchuan didn't mention the physical examination again, but just called her to the office again.

"Come on, your new case."

He pushed a thin stack of A4 paper in front of Ling Li. Obviously, this is not a formal case file, but only a summary of the case.

"So fast?"

Ling Li didn't expect that the case was taken away yesterday, and today the new case is in hand, and some of them haven't woken up.

Zhu Jinchuan didn't seem to be in the mood to explain more to her, and only said three words: "Let's take a look first." ”

A few minutes later, Ling Li sat opposite Zhu Jinchuan, her lips pale, and her fingertips trembled as she caressed the location of the second page to solve the case.

“…… In the process of testing the kitchen power supply, the freezer was moved due to the need to detect the socket, and after the test was completed, Li Gui moved the freezer back to its original place, and due to the rotten and unstable base bracket, the freezer tilted and fell to the ground, and the frozen items in the freezer were scattered. In the process of picking up items, Li Gui found a plastic bag wrapped in a suspicious object that was suspected to be a human residual limb, so he called the police. After the Xicheng District Public Security Bureau of Ruodu City dispatched the police, the suspicious objects seized at Zheng Qijie's residence were identified as human tissue. On November 7, after a police call, the defendant Zheng Qijie took the initiative to appear in the case. ”

This cold and cold text made Ling Li's back chill.

Zhu Jinchuan said that he would arrange a new case for her, and she thought that she would have to wait at least a few days, but she didn't expect it to come so soon, and the type of case changed from a civil case in her hand to a criminal case.

For the type of case has changed again, although Ling Li has experience, she has no complaints, she vaguely knows that Zhu Jinchuan handed her different types of cases for the purpose of refining her, maybe it is the process of finding the most suitable professional direction for Ling Li as he said at the beginning.

Rao noticed the charges of intentional homicide and insulting corpses on the cover when she opened the information just now, she thought she was mentally prepared to face a felon, but she didn't expect this to be a case of corpse mutilation.

Unlike criminal investigation novels and TV dramas where serial murders and corpses appear at every turn, the probability of corpse fragmentation in real life is actually not high.

As we all know, the method of dismembering corpses is a very good method for destroying corpses and disturbing the sight of the police. The situation of not seeing people alive and dead without seeing corpses has made many cases unsolved. In other cases, the police were almost certain that the victim had died, but they could not find the head, could not find the main part of the torso, and could not identify someone who had been killed in the case, resulting in the culprit escaping punishment.

But why is it that the frequency of mutilation is not high in intentional homicide cases?

The answer is simple, even if we know that this is one of the effective means of evading criminal punishment, not all criminals have the ability and courage to do it.

Regardless of the impulsive and passionate crimes that are not prepared to commit crimes, even if there is a premeditated and planned murder, when the blood of the victim is splashed and when he sees a living person become a corpse, many criminals are deeply shocked by the picture, and even become a nightmare to accompany him for the rest of his life.

So much so that there are criminals who can't stand the torture after the murder and can't sleep so well that they turn themselves in even if the police don't solve the case.

Ordinary people who have not undergone professional training can withstand much less psychological pressure than they imagine, even if they are people who talk and laugh while watching horror movies.

Therefore, in order to cover up their crimes, most criminals often destroy the corpse by destroying the crime scene, finding an inaccessible place to throw the corpse or incinerate the corpse. Even if you have the courage to divide the corpse,

Even if they have the courage to split the body, they will generally dispose of the head first, find a safe place for the head and throw it away, and then dispose of the torso and limbs.

Otherwise, your side is still cutting your hands and feet, and the victim behind your back is still half-open......

Ling Li, out of her natural resistance to criminal cases, could not take the initiative to learn about these. Regarding the topic of dismemberment and dismemberment, Lu Xiaoxiao regarded it as a capital for display, and had told Ling Li countless times at lunchtime, at that time, Ling Li disliked her for her heavy taste, and swore that she would never take such a heavy case for the rest of her life.

But she didn't expect one to hit her so soon.

*, it was almost thirty degrees outside the window, and the air conditioning in the room was not too cold, but Ling Li still shivered when she remembered the long and short arms in the description of the case.

Zhu Jinchuan chuckled faintly, picked up the thin blanket he used to build during the lunch break from the sofa and handed it to Ling Li: "If it's cold, take your knees, this air conditioner is turned on a little low, don't catch a cold." ”

As he spoke, he deliberately walked to the wall and turned up the temperature of the central air conditioner.

Zhu Jinchuan gave her the stairs, but Ling Li didn't dare to be strong, and her lips were a little pale: "Master, the corpse shredding case, I think it's better to forget it." If I go to court to cross-examine the evidence and be shown by the prosecutor the photos of the body fragments, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold it. ”

She made a fainting gesture: "If you can't save the defendant at that time, I will lose the face of the Chengda Office." ”

Ling Li's rare show of weakness was also helpless, and she just wanted to beg Zhu Jinchuan not to put such a heavy burden on her.

If you want to talk about intentional homicide, she has done two cases, but whether it is Qu Jia, who got into the tip of the horn and covered her daughter to death with her own hands, or Qin Xinghai, who was charged with the heinous crime of killing her father and mother, it will not make her feel the palpitations she has now.

Because whether it was involuntary or not, whether they were wronged or not, they did not try to cover up their crimes, one stayed at the scene of the crime, the other fled in a hurry, and they did not think about destroying the corpse.

The defendant in this case, Zheng Qijie, is different.

According to the information, Zheng Qijie, male, a native of Luodu, was 35 years old at the time of the crime, and was a handyman at the Luodu Medical College.

But his academic qualifications are not consistent with the type of work like handyman. He has a doctorate in biology and studied in the United States in his early years. With such a resume, it should be said that the position of a teacher in the university is more suitable for him.

From this point of view, this person is a little weird, not to mention that there is such a thing as a human stump in his refrigerator.

Moreover, this is still a case of corpse mutilation......

Being able to calmly dispose of the corpse until only two arms remained, it is basically certain that this person is a psychopath, which is not the same as an ordinary murderer. If we take the original words in the Criminal Law, it is that "the defendant is subjectively vicious and extremely dangerous, and shall be sentenced to death and immediately executed......"

Ling Li clenched her palms tightly and was stunned, Zhu Jinchuan had already put a cup of sparrow tongue in front of her.

He lowered his voice, as if he knew the uneasiness in her heart, and comforted her softly: "Hold on, this is the first time you have handled this type of case, and it is normal for you to be afraid." And some people say that you are representing the defendant? ”

"Huh?" As soon as Ling Li picked up the tea, she was instantly stunned. If you don't defend the accused, then who will defend you? Procuratorate?

Even if we learn from some foreign experience and hire a lawyer as a reinforcement for the public prosecution, we will hire a well-known lawyer in the industry, and it will not be her turn to be a little salted fish.

Seeing that she didn't come back to her senses, Zhu Jinchuan leaned his back against the desk with his arms around his back, and looked at Ling Li with his head slightly down: "Think about it, in a criminal case, except for the defendant, is there no one else who needs a lawyer?" ”

Ling Li thought for a few seconds, and finally reacted: "Victim! ”

"That's right," Zhu Jinchuan nodded, "To be precise, it's the victim's family." ”

After he finished speaking, he opened the bookcase, went out and took out another thick stack of materials, and handed it to her.

"The few sheets in your hand are just a brief summary of the case, and the real chapter of this case is here."

He sighed slightly, his brows furrowed: "Don't think that the defendant's lawyer is drudgery, in this case, the lawyer of the victim's family and the procuratorate are the ones who shoulder the heavy responsibility." You're going to stand with the prosecutors in the prosecutor's office, but they can't help you, they're taking a big gamble just like us. ”
