Chapter 120: Shouldn't be
In the end, it took more than an hour to finally wait for the insurance company to finish the on-site investigation.
On the way from the parking lot to the conference room of the police station, Li Tingrong was also a variety of Kan Dashan, dragging time minute by minute. However, the two chief prosecutors of the family came to handle this case today with the attention of the superior leaders, and this is not something that Li Tingrong can stop with those small tricks.
While Luo Feng and Wang Xiaoshan searched the case file in the small dark room of the police station, the two prosecutors were also negotiating the contents of the plea agreement with Liang Xiushi in an interrogation room. It is impossible to be completely exonerated, but it is still possible to change the death penalty to life imprisonment, or to change the sentence of 20 years to 10 years.
The plea negotiation system stems from the understanding that, except for specific crimes, crimes first infringe on the personal rights or property rights of the victim, and then the rights and interests of the state, so the prosecutor is the state plaintiff and the victim is the natural person plaintiff, and they jointly become the plaintiff in the lawsuit.
The state is responsible for the main work of prosecuting crimes, investigating and collecting evidence of crimes, and initiating prosecutions, but it is a difficult task that requires a lot of manpower, material resources and time to submit evidence to the level of proof required by law to "beyond reasonable doubt". In order for a criminal suspect (defendant) to make a strong defense, it is necessary to hire a lawyer of a considerable level, and the amount of time, money, opportunity costs and other expenses is huge.
In this case, both parties have a desire to conclude the proceedings as soon as possible. From an economic point of view, demand determines the market, and as the law of social life, it will naturally reflect or embody this demand of real life, allowing the parties to negotiate guilty pleas.
Of course, not every country advocates such a system, and supports it as saving social resources and making the judiciary more efficient; Those who oppose it believe that the law can only be objective and cannot be mixed with content that can be subjectively regulated, otherwise the law will lose the important attribute of "fairness".
And it just so happens that Luo Feng and Wang Xiaoshan's country recognizes the plea negotiation system.
After several hours of investigation, Luo Feng and Wang Xiaoshan finally found the case file they were looking for. The high-intensity search with 100% concentration made both of them exhausted, and with a deep sigh of relief, they both slumped in their chairs and looked at each other with smiles.
With a "bang", the door of the small black room was knocked open, and Li Tingrong broke in.
"What's the matter with you guys? Don't answer your phone? How many missed calls have been recorded? The plea agreement over there is almost settled! What's going on on your side? ”
"If the phone is turned off, I can't hear the phone ringing." Luo Feng stretched, "The plea agreement has been negotiated?" ”
"Look at your confident look, have you found evidence to convict Liang Xiushi? Hurry up and stop them from signing a plea agreement, otherwise Liang Xiushi will take advantage of the law to reduce his sentence. ”
"Then let's go check it out." Luo Feng looked at Wang Xiaoshan.
"Yes." Wang Xiaoshan nodded.
Li Tingrong suddenly felt that the scene was a little depressed, he gave up the opportunity to carry out his own investigation, and used all kinds of unbelievable means to delay time, in order to help Luo Feng and Wang Xiaoshan buy more time for investigation.
But now Luo Feng and Wang Xiaoshan heard that Liang Xiushi was going to sign a plea agreement, but they had a lazy and nonchalant attitude, what was going on? Li Tingrong followed behind Luo Feng and Wang Xiaoshan with a dark face.
As soon as they came out of the hall of the police station, they saw Liang Xiushi coming out of the interrogation room, his hands handcuffed, and the two policemen were on his left and right, apparently to take Liang Xiushi to the detention center for temporary detention and wait for the official verdict of the court.
Liang Xiushi glanced at Li Tingrong with a smile and nodded, he should have successfully signed a plea agreement.
Looking at Liang Xiushi's abrupt smile, Li Tingrong immediately pulled a police colleague over and said viciously, "Signed?" ”
The policeman seemed to be frightened by Li Tingrong, and replied cautiously, "Signed." ”
At this moment, Li Tingrong really wanted to look up to the sky and let out a long roar to express the regret in his heart, obviously Luo Feng and Wang Xiaoshan already had evidence here, but they let Liang Xiushi take advantage of the loophole to reduce the punishment.
"Is there any way to do it?" Li Tingrong was asking Luo Feng and Wang Xiaoshan beside him.
"Officer Li, don't be too desperate, it's useless for him to sign the agreement." Luo Feng was comforting Li Tingrong.
"It's useless to sign it, Prosecutor Wang came with the official seal, and he has already stamped the agreement on the spot." The more Li Tingrong thought about it, the more angry he felt.
"If he wants to admit his guilt, he must provide some substantive evidence, such as the murder weapon and the like, what evidence did Liang Xiushi provide you?" Wang Xiaoshan really couldn't stand Li Tingrong's sad wail there, and hurriedly seized the time to enter the investigation of the case.
"Well, I don't know, didn't I go to the little black room just now to look for you two. Let's find out now, although he used the plea agreement to reduce the punishment, but at least we can be considered to have caught the murderer, and your map also played an important role. ”
They learned that the evidence provided by Liang Xiushi so far was a rope, a hemp rope, and he used that hemp rope to hang Ke Kangquan, and that rope was in his room. The police had already gone to the Jinding Hotel and found the hemp rope in Liang Xiushi's room.
According to the visual inspection of the police at the scene, the hemp rope found in Liang Xiushi is the same as the hemp rope that hanged Ke Kangquan, and the hemp rope that hanged Ke Kangquan is likely to be a section cut from the hemp rope in Liang Xiushi's room.
"It seems that the evidence is strong." Li Tingrong is in a very tangled mood now, on the one hand, he is happy to catch the murderer, but at the last moment, he asked him to sign a plea agreement to reduce the punishment, which is a pity, "What clues did you two find to prove that Liang Xiushi killed someone?" At this time, Li Tingrong also remembered what Luo Feng and Wang Xiaoshan had just said that there had been a major breakthrough in the investigation.
"We didn't find any clues to prove that Liang Xiushi killed someone." Luo Feng spread his hands.
"Huh?" Li Tingrong looked surprised, he is even beginning to be glad that Liang Xiushi signed a plea agreement, at least he pleaded guilty, "I trust the two of you so much, provide you with information, and arrange for our assistant to help you run errands, so you repay my trust like this?" So what have you found after all this time? ”
"We found out that Liang Xiushi shouldn't have killed anyone." Wang Xiaoshan looked at Li Tingrong very seriously and answered Li Tingrong's question.
"Huh?" Li Tingrong was so frightened that his entire mouth shape turned into an "O" word.
