Chapter 12: Come by Yourself
Sun Yang met with Ma Bin early in the morning as promised and gave him the evidence in his hand.
"What is it?"
Sun Yang replied: "The ledger, the recording of the meeting between the two parties, and the photo of the counterfeiting factory. ”
Ma Bin whistled loudly: "Where did you get it?" ”
"A dead man." Sun Yang replied. Although he had tacitly agreed not to tell Ma Bin about this, when he really faced Ma Bin, he couldn't help but tell the whole process.
"It's complicated enough." Ma Bin commented. "You asked me to check that file for this purpose?"
"What do you think?" Sun Yang asked. "I mean about his death."
"There are all kinds of possibilities." Ma Bin replied. "There is too little evidence, and the words of the parties are not credible, and if there is no investigation, who can make a judgment based on such a small thing alone?"
"You don't believe Li Xu's words."
"One of the basic principles of our Code of Conduct for the Special Cases Administration is not to listen to what the devil says, let alone be led by the nose. I'd rather see actual evidence than his words. Even in law, the evidence is more powerful than the testimony, and the closer it is to the incident, the stronger the testimony is obtained than the subsequent one. The testimony of the parties, with the exception of guilty pleas, has the lowest effect of all evidence. People's subjective consciousness often interferes with the testimony they give, and even if they don't lie, when people have obvious tendencies, what they say will have a completely different effect. Therefore, Li Xu's words don't make sense to me at all."
"Do you think there is a need to reopen the case?" Sun Yang asked.
Ma Bin looked at him.
"I'll tell you the truth!" He said to Sun Yang. "Without strong impetus from family members or victims, it is generally difficult to overturn such a case that has already been decided, because each reversal of the case means that a group of people who have previously handled the case will face investigation, punishment and even impact on their future. This is a very offensive thing. There are no other victims in this case, and the family of the deceased has no objection to the outcome, so it is unlikely that the case will be overturned. Of course, you can also tell his family what is suspicious and ask them to apply for a new investigation. This is still good for them, at the very least, the insurance company will have to pay a sum of money, and it is also possible to claim compensation in the part of the civil lawsuit. But what kind of evidence can you give them to support their claims? Will the courts and the procuratorate accept it, and how long and how much effort will it take to initiate the retrial process? ”
Sun Yang's attitude of talking about things and obviously wanting to stay out of things made Sun Yang a little disappointed, he always thought that Ma Bin was a person with a great sense of justice.
"Don't look at me like that......" Ma Bin said with a sigh. Justice is never without a price, and sometimes the price to pay for justice is much higher than you think! You think I don't want justice? I've suffered a lot of losses. If there were innocent victims in this case, I would very much agree with your idea, but this Li Xu is obviously a scumbag, is it really worth it to do such a thing for him? ”
"But his family is innocent......"
"Do they really care about his death?" Ma Bin asked. "According to you, after the infidelity, he contributed very little to the family and had little presence, and his wife was not actually saddened by his death. Wouldn't it be easier to think of other ways if it was just to get them some financial compensation? Doesn't that girl have a million-dollar card? Wouldn't it be nice to ask her to come over and compensate them? ”
Sun Yang felt that there was a big problem with what he said, and just as he was thinking, Ma Bin had already stood up.
"I'll leave the matter of the counterfeit drug gang to me, and I will definitely keep an eye on them to find out. But this thing...... You better think about it. He patted Sun Yang on the shoulder and picked up the green file bag. Whatever you decide, call me if you need to. I'm leaving. ”
Sun Yang watched him walk away, called the waiter over to settle the bill, and then called Lu Xiaoling.
"She didn't come to school." Her voice sounded a little disappointed. "I called her house posing as a counselor and her mom said she hadn't seen her in a long time. I have a feeling she wasn't lying. ”
"What then?" Sun Yang asked, thinking about whether to tell her what Ma Bin said.
"What did Ma Bin say over there?"
"What do you say?" Sun Yang suddenly became nervous.
"You didn't tell him about Li Xu?" Lu Xiaoling asked, as if she had already seen through him.
"This ...... Let's meet and talk. Sun Yang said helplessly.
The two met at a Western restaurant near Yuanshan University, and Sun Yang told her Ma Bin's words from afar.
"It's all!" Lu Xiaoling commented disdainfully.
"How?"
"Only the words about the inside of their system at the beginning are true, and the rest is stirring up the water!" Lu Xiaoling said. "He survives in that system, and he has all kinds of concerns and doesn't want to get into trouble, so he makes excuses for himself!"
"What do you say?" Sun Yang was not in good spirits all the way because he was thinking about Ma Bin's words, and after hearing her words, he suddenly felt refreshed.
"Because justice has to be paid, justice is not served? He's still a policeman! Lu Xiaoling scoffed at Ma Bin's words. Justice is justice! There is too much to pay for justice, just because the method is not right or the ability is insufficient! It's not a reason to be afraid of difficulties! ”
"The rest is even more ridiculous! Because Li Xu is a scumbag, it doesn't matter if he dies? Bullshit! ”
"But didn't you say that Li Xu is a scumbag and opposes the reopening of the investigation?" Sun Yang suddenly had some doubts.
"When have I ever said something like that?" Lu Xiaoling was a little angry, it seemed that Sun Yang misinterpreted her meaning. "I oppose the reopening of the investigation because I think there may be another hidden story behind it, and I am afraid that the reopening of the investigation will expose Yuan Xinrui to unwarranted suspicion or even injustice! But if she really planned to kill Li Xu a long time ago, I would definitely send her to prison with my own hands! ”
"As for the money, it's even funnier, the money originally belonged to Li Xu's wife and daughter, how did it become compensation? This Ma Bin is not a good person at all! ”
"That's a bit too much. He may be reluctant to meddle in this matter because of his concerns, as you said, but that doesn't characterize him as a bad guy just because of that. Sun Yang smiled bitterly. After Lu Xiaoling said this, his thinking was finally clear.
Li Xu is indeed a scumbag, but this does not mean that he deserves to die, let alone that the person who killed him is a good person.
If Yuan Xinrui and Tian Yuan are the murderers, then letting them go is not only a violation of fairness and justice, but also a disregard for the safety of other people's lives. Because after they succeed once, they are likely to intensify and try a second time, a third time.
He was actually clear about this truth, but he didn't know what was going on, and he suddenly became confused after being stirred up by Ma Bin.
Fortunately, Lu Xiaoling pulled him back again.
Just thinking about it, Lu Xiaoling suddenly stood up.
"It's good that he refuses to do it!" She said with great interest. "We'll do it ourselves!"
