Chapter 087: Human Nature and Law
Zhou Guang told me that their home was once robbed, and that they were not at home that night, and when they came back, they found that the door of their room had been pried open, but nothing was missing from the house. Zhou Guang's eyes were no longer bright, he sighed, called Zhou Xiaoyu to his side, and hugged him.
Zhou Guang's family of three hugged their heads and cried, compared with Zhou Sheng's family, Zhou Guang's family was not considered a victim, but they were crying bitterly at the moment, and the hearts of those who listened to the three voices were sour.
I was stunned for a few seconds, and immediately asked the criminal police to find the surveillance camera of Zhou Guang's house on the day of the thief, and soon, it was pitch black on the screen, it was night, and the scene under the surveillance camera was blurry. Since the time was certain, we quickly found the scene of the thief opening the door.
On a big night, the surveillance camera is very blurry, we can't tell what color the person is wearing, we only think he is tall, and when we look down, he seems to be wearing high heels. He appeared from the entrance of the staircase, and as we got closer, we could see that he was wearing a mantle, and although his hair was long, he did not look like a woman, because his shoulders were broad.
He walked in a very strange way, trembling and trembling, as if the bones in his body had melted away. Seeing the figure on the screen, I opened my mouth wide in surprise, this person, and the person in red clothes I saw in Lao Zhang's house, seemed to ...... Since there was no loss of anything at home, Zhou Guang didn't pay attention at the time, and now that so much time has passed, it is almost impossible to find that person......
The content of the book is very likely to have been glued by this person, and now I understand that this case is indeed related to the case I encountered before. It was as if an invisible hand was stringing these cases together, and when I wondered who it was, the mysterious man who called me came to mind.
"Professor Li, it's too late." Xie Jing urged me again.
That person just glued the peeled content into the book, and according to everyone's confessions and existing circumstances, there is no evidence to indicate that Zhou Xiaoyu was instigated to commit the crime. This made me feel even more terrified of the person behind the scenes, who seemed to have expected that Zhou Xiaoyu would be affected by the content of the book.
This person seems to have seen through Zhou Xiaoyu's character and thoughts.
I looked at the clock, at eleven o'clock in the evening, I nodded at Xie Jing and asked him to sort out the materials, Xie Jing was very happy, he bowed to me and ran out happily. Zhou Guang's family was separated and taken out, Zhou Xiaoyu kept his head down, I couldn't see his expression, so there was no way to know if this child had regrets.
Zhou Sheng and his wife were too emotional and were sent down again. Sun Zaiyun breathed a long sigh of relief, it was very rare, he thanked me, he wanted to say anything more to me, I told him, I will go to him again. He looked at me blankly, he didn't understand why I was going to look for him.
After Sun Zaiyun was also sent down, only me, Xu Yi, Jiang Jun and Wang Xin were left in the office. Wang Xin sat on the sofa, still with that calm expression, he was not happy because the case was solved, nor was he depressed because he lost the bet.
"Captain Wang, I have agreed to your request." I said to Wang Xin.
"You didn't lose." Wang Xin replied.
Me: "Although the case is solved, the murderer will not be punished." ”
Wang Xin: "It's not your fault. ”
Jiang Jun was confused by the conversation between me and Wang Xin, and at this time, Xie Jing, who had only been out for a long time, kicked the door open, and he said to us angrily: "Damn! It seems that Zhou Xiaoyu can't be convicted! ”
I've known this for a long time, so I said before that if the murderer was really as I imagined, the law would not be able to punish him. When I asked Zhou Guang's family, I noticed a detail, the day Zhou Xiaoruo's body was found happened to be Zhou Xiaoyu's fourteenth birthday.
In other words, Zhou Xiaoyu was not 14 years old when he committed the murder.
The law clearly stipulates that under the age of 14 is absolutely no age of criminal responsibility, and Zhou Xiaoyu was under the age of 14 when he committed the murder, so he does not need to bear criminal responsibility.
Jiang Jun also understood at this moment, Jiang Jun clenched his fists and slammed it on the table. His back was still dripping with blood, and his face was slightly pale.
"This Zhou Xiaoyu is so cruel to kill! The means of killing are so hidden, his mind is already more than fourteen years old, and he does not have to bear criminal responsibility for killing someone, what is the reason of heaven! Xie Jing kept roaring.
He and Jiang Jun obviously had no way to accept this result, and in the end, it was Wang Xin who opened his mouth.
"Xie Jing, you have been in this business for so long, you should know that human nature and law sometimes can't be both." Wang Xin took out another cigarette and put it in his mouth.
Wang Xin's statement is very correct, setting the age of criminal responsibility is scientific and necessary. Fourteen years old, this age is called the boundary between human nature and the law, people who have not yet reached the age of 14 or are about to reach the age of 14 to commit crimes, this situation often occurs, but according to the provisions of the law, people who do not have the capacity for criminal responsibility do not need to bear criminal responsibility.
Even if the other party's mind is as mature as an adult, from the perspective of human nature, Zhou Xiaoyu should pay for his life if he kills, not to mention that he used such cruel means, but legally speaking, he will not be punished by criminal punishment. I have been in a similar situation more than once, and sometimes I even feel weak because I have no way to get justice for the dead.
Xie Jing was still unwilling, seeing that the zero o'clock was about to pass, he decided not to think about it, and first sorted out the case and reported it to the corps, after all, the case had indeed been solved.
Before midnight, I finally solved the case, and when I returned to Wang Xin's house, I felt exhausted.
Because of the age of criminal responsibility, Jiang Jun didn't seem to be in a very good mood, and after he came back, he entered the room without saying a word to us. Wang Xin looked at Jiang Jun's departing back and said with a smile: "Jiang Jun, this kid, always wants to arrest criminals, in his heart, right is right, and wrong is wrong." ”
"He will understand in the future, the law can never be perfect." I replied. No matter how much the law is improved, there will be loopholes, and that loophole often makes the incompetence of human nature even paler, just like Zhou Xiaoyu's case. Once this kind of people commit a crime, the law is helpless, and what we can do may be to prevent such a group of people from committing crimes.
Wang Xin asked me if what I had just said to him in the office was true, and I nodded, saying that I would not regret what I promised. After saying that, Xu Yi and I went back to the room.
I was willing to let Jiang Jun stay by my side, not only because he had saved me regardless of the danger of his life, but because I saw the brilliance of the criminal police in Jiang Jun.
After taking a shower, I found Xu Yi sitting on the bed, she was not asleep, I asked her what was wrong, and she said that she was thinking about the involvement of this case with the previous cases. Originally, I was afraid that Xu Yi would feel uncomfortable and deliberately didn't mention it, but now that she took the initiative to mention it, I also frowned.
The reason why I was involved in this case is because Zhou Xiaoruo's death is too similar to the painting painted by Zhu Li when he was mentally abnormal. I tried to find a connection between the two, but I failed again as I had tried to find a connection with other cases.
But I also don't believe that all this is just a coincidence, and the strange figure I saw on camera tonight made me even more convinced. It may be difficult to find the identity of the strange figure through the surveillance footage, but I decided to give it a try the next day, and in any case, I will find out who is behind it.
After discussing with Xu Yi for a long time, we couldn't understand it, we decided to go to bed, and the next day, we still had very important things to do.
Because I had been busy with Zhou Xiaoruo's peeling case before, I put aside one thing that I was very interested in or that was closely related to me and Xu Yi. Now that the case is solved, I decided to take a good look at the abandoned factory.
A remark that caught my attention was something that caught my attention, and he said that the abandoned factory was where he and his brother used to work.
The next day, Xu Yi and I found Sun Zaiyun, I don't know why, I always feel that Sun Zaiyun and the brother in his mouth are not simple......
