Chapter 234: Meeting

Holding the heavy report, Ling Li returned to his seat, took a deep breath, slowly opened it, and turned page after page.

The results have basically not changed from last year, she is in good health, and the doctor's advice on the first page also says "good health, continue to maintain healthy lifestyle habits".

There's no mention of genetic screening.

It seems that she is really the one who is twenty-five percent, and it seems that there is another ironclad evidence to support Zhu Jinchuan's previous speculation.

Because she was the one who didn't get sick, she escaped that fate.

She sneered, and when she had laughed, she felt that the question in her heart was like a black hole, about to swallow her.

After a long afternoon, I walked home in a daze.

Restless and preoccupied, she actually got off the bus early, and she had already gotten off at the tube building of her uncle's house.

His feet were all on the ground, and Ling Li came back to his senses.

Sighing, she decided that she might as well go to her uncle's shop. But they all walked around the corner, and when they saw the lively scene of the small shop, they stopped and took a detour to avoid it.

She understood that her previous behavior was subconscious, and she said that she was strong, but she still hoped to find solace and find someone to comfort her.

There is still something about Xiaobao in my uncle's family, and the family is working together to fight the disease, and it is obviously not appropriate for her to talk about old things at this time.

In the end, she could only carry this matter alone.

With a sigh, she silently set out on her way home, a long lonely shadow trailing at her feet.

————

In the small courtyard of a private club in the city center, Ling Li and Zhu Jinchuan sat on the side of a long wooden table, waiting for the victim's family.

Previously, after analyzing the facts of the case, Ling Li already knew that this case was a headache for the court and a hard bone for the public security and the procuratorate. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a great shame to say that the police officers and prosecutors who are handling the case can form a conviction of who the murderer is, but because of the evidence, the case cannot be decided.

It can be said that even if Zheng Qijie is acquitted by the court, he can be regarded as completely on the bar with the public procuratorate.

He will be under close police surveillance for the rest of his life, not to mention being a traitor again, he will be restricted wherever he goes, and even if he goes to a hotel in another place, he may be investigated by the local public security bureau, or he will be refused to stay by the boss directly.

Also, the matter of Zheng Qijie's extended detention has begun to ferment quietly.

Although the probability of a noble son from a poor family is not small, there is a high probability that a family that can cultivate a returnee doctor is not a poor family with nothing but four walls.

On the contrary, Zheng Qijie's parents are both teachers, although they are not academic masters, but they are also full of peach and plum.

Since Zheng Qijie was detained for a year, his family was able to hold on to it at first, and after all, because his son committed an accident, he still had a three-point loss, and he didn't dare to make trouble.

But after a long time, people have not entered the program, and people's minds will inevitably come alive. The two public prosecutors are not airtight walls, and after inquiring about it, they naturally know what is wrong.

In addition, there are lawyers stirring up in it, and the undercurrent under this case is turbulent, and if you don't enter the procedure, you are afraid that you will soon face the pressure of public opinion.

The Luodu City Procuratorate didn't want to make this case known to everyone in the country, and in this difficult situation, it was finally transferred for prosecution again.

However, the scarcity of insufficient evidence has once again been exposed.

After the preliminary examination, the court once again proposed to withdraw the case, but the procuratorate was not willing to end the case like this, and was even more unwilling to be planted in the same place for a third time.

After several meetings and coordination, the two families finally reached an agreement, and it was basically certain that when the case entered the court for trial, it would be tried in full accordance with the rules of modern criminal procedure in accordance with the requirements of the substantive trial.

In other words, in the pretrial conference, the evidence disputed by the prosecution and defense, whether it is witness testimony or procedural documents, will be brought to the court for cross-examination, and even the police handling the case, expert witnesses, and evaluators will also accept cross-examination by the prosecution and defense.

Because of the cumbersome and formal nature of the procedure, this will take several times longer than the normal trial of a criminal case.

Moreover, in order to make this case stand the test and convince the families of both the defendant and the victim, it is said that there are plans to invite the media and deputies to the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) to watch the trial on the spot.

It can be said that the trial of a serious violent crime case has such an open force, which is unprecedented. In the same way, to expose such a controversial case to the public at the risk of capsizing, there is no doubt that the two public prosecutors have made great determination.

The prosecution strongly demanded this, and its purpose was to seize this last opportunity so that Cheng Qijie could show his fox tail in public.

But Ling Li is not optimistic about this.

As she learned more about the case, more and more details revealed her misdeeds as an agent of the victim's family.

Let's start with the defendant Zheng Qijie.

According to further evidence provided by the prosecution, there are still books on forensic science, criminal psychology, and so on on the bookshelves in his home.

Psychopaths are not terrible, but they are afraid that perverts are cultured.

He hibernated on campus and was willing to work as a handyman for five years, most likely to facilitate the crime, although the motive for actively exposing his crime in the end is not clear, but it is impossible to infer a pervert with the mentality of a normal person.

Who knows if he suddenly has a hot head, and he has watched too many suspense films such as mystery case tracking, and he has to learn the routines of the criminals in it, and deliberately expose the crime to sing against the police? Even in the face of the reporters and the audience who were observing, I was afraid that it would have no effect, but it satisfied his desire to perform even more.

The public security procuratorate could not produce strong evidence to convict such a person, and the only defendant who confessed was only a very light sentence for the crime of insulting a corpse.

Well, now that the banner of the substantiation of the trial has been raised, all the evidence must be taken to the sun for cross-examination, and it is difficult to say whether this crime of insulting the corpse can be convicted.

The most direct thing is that Tang Aoxue's two arms were forensically identified as being removed from her body when she was alive, and now the prosecution can't prove that the person is dead, so where can you start insulting the corpse?

As for Zheng Qijie's own confession of eating the remains of five people, again, there are only a few residual DNA fragments, and the evidence is relatively weak.

Zhu Jinchuan's judgment is right, in this case, the defense lawyer can be said to be lightly armed, and the burden is on the prosecution.

And as a lawyer entrusted by the victim's family, she plays an insignificant role, so she can only do her best and obey the fate of God.

Thinking of this, she looked sideways at Zhu Jinchuan, who was smacking coffee.

After all, in the name of master and apprentice, Ling Li still knows a little about Zhu Jinchuan's inadvertent habits.

He smokes when he's upset, and when he forces himself to face a tough fight, he chooses to rely on coffee or strong tea to refresh himself.

As for when he was nervous, Ling Li hadn't seen it yet, and he didn't know what external objects he would use to relieve his emotions.

These days, Zhu Jinchuan's eyes seem to be filled with some different emotions when he looks at her. As for what it was, she couldn't say why.

Ling Li has carefully recalled the bits and pieces of these years, she used to see and know limitedly, and she didn't know that in fact, there was already a shadow of Zhu Jinchuan in her life, this careful thinking, she came to an astonishing conclusion.

Whether it was Zhu Jinchuan's deliberate snub before, or a later case in which she was asked to take the lead and face the pressure that she could barely resist, it was actually intentional.

The hard work behind what he did this time is nothing more than the regret of his youth, nothing more than not wanting to be ashamed of Ling Ling, nothing more than wanting Ling Li to grow up quickly, to be able to take charge of himself, to be able to face pressure without losing his heart, and to understand what he wants.

From the beginning of figuring this out, Ling Li paid special attention to Zhu Jinchuan's every move, and also wanted to guess Zhu Jinchuan's intentions to deduce from what angle she should cut into the case from the most appropriate angle.

What can she bring as the representative of the family of the victim in the mutilation case?

The status in the lawsuit is insignificant, the case is too bloody, even Ling Li, who has experienced great changes in her family, can't help but palpitate when she sees the photos in the file that can taste the color of blood even if it is a black and white copy.

Even if there is a stack of photos taken out by Zhu Jinchuan to prove that what he said is true, Ling Li still can't agree that this case can really bring any good opportunities.

Thinking of the young girl in the photo, Ling Li's mood became a little delicate.

Her thoughts began to be chaotic again, and her mind was in a trance, and when she looked up from a strange memory, there was already a withered woman sitting in front of her.

The afternoon sun was bright and dazzling, and a wave of heat hit outside the window, and the woman with gray hair and cloudy eyes in front of her seemed to be alive last autumn.

She was dressed out of place, with a whitened shirt, a burgundy sweater cardigan, and a pair of thick black trousers underneath.

Her eye sockets were deeply sunken, and the furrows on her face were crisscrossed, and there was not even a single piece of skin that could be described as smooth.

The information shows that she is less than fifty, but when she looks at this face, some people believe that she is in her sixties.

Ling Li knew that this was the torture after losing her loved ones, and she was twenty years old.

And the moment Chen Rong saw Ling Li, she was stunned for a moment, and the gaze in her eyes was mixed with very complex emotions.

Ling Li lowered her head and leaned in the direction of Zhu Jinchuan.

Zhu Jinchuan obviously knew where her fear came from, and handed her a reassuring look, and gently patted her arm under the table.

However, Chen Rong then restrained the emotions that were about to pour out, and when she spoke, she did not feel sad, did not shed tears, and did not collapse, and said word by word in her mouth that she didn't know how many times, about the life and afterlife of the victim in this case, Tang Aoxue.

"My Xue'er, who has been excellent in character and learning since childhood, is honest and ...... duty"

Chen Rong, female, 49 years old, native of Luodu, first Chinese.

She was born in a rural area with four circles in the capital, and like most of the girls around her, she was not very good at studying, and she did not have the luck of carp jumping over the dragon gate, and worked in a mess, got married, and had children.

But because she gave birth to a daughter, she was disliked by her patriarchal in-laws, and she divorced at the age of twenty-three, and lived with Tang Aoxue, who was just two years old.

Since then, Chen Rong's self-consciousness has awakened.
