The situation is more serious than I imagined, and the investigators have already taken on a subjective color, and if no one intervenes, it is ironclad that Jiang Jun will be handed over by the police force to the procuratorate for prosecution. Almost everyone thinks that if I want to exonerate Jiang Jun, Jiang Jun will be acquitted, which is why everyone is so disgusted with me.

I was slightly displeased: "Captain Ma, bringing subjective colors into the investigation is not what a high-quality police force should have. ”

Ma Tao responded: "The tools of the crime, the time of the crime, the DNA fingerprints, and the festival with the deceased, in this case, ......" Ma Tao did not continue, but I understood what he meant. I asked them how they were going to deal with those suspicions, and Ma Tao thought about it and replied that in many homicide cases, the murderer's actions were purposeless, just because he was emotional.

Including the fact that there were no fingerprints on the tools of the crime but there was DNA, Ma Tao also explained that we were wearing gloves at the time when we caught snakes, so we did not leave fingerprints, and it was too hot, and Jiang Jun dripped sweat on the dagger when he committed the crime, so the dagger had his DNA on it.

"Captain Ma, Jiang Jun is also a criminal policeman, if he really commits a crime, it is impossible to leave the criminal tools at the scene, and he ran away with Qian Er, Qian Eryi died, Jiang Jun is the most suspicious, he is not so stupid." Xu Yi couldn't listen to it, so he interjected.

Ma Tao seemed to have thought of the answers to all our questions, he did not hesitate, and directly said that it was because Jiang Jun was too excited after killing someone, and he also linked this possibility to Jiang Jun's emotions when he was interrogated. Xu Yi was speechless, and Jiang Jun's emotions when he was interrogated brought him very bad consequences.

Ma Tao apologized again and again, saying that Zhushi and Guangdong are both from the same province, not only the media in Guangdong City are powerful, but the reporters in Zhushi are even more well-informed, and I don't know who released the news, and the news of Qian Er's murder has already appeared in this morning's morning newspaper. Ma Tao said, walked to the table and handed me the morning report of Zhushi, and sure enough, it reported the murder in the village, and played up the fact that Qian Er was gouged out.

I can kind of understand that there has just been a case of skinning of a bad nature in Guangdong City, and another case of murder and eye-gouging in Zhushi has followed, and under the pressure of public opinion, the police department wants to solve the case quickly.

"Investigating judicial activities should not be influenced by any public opinion." I handed the newspaper to Ma Tao.

Ma Tao: "In his position, he can't help himself. Professor Li, I resisted the pressure, but I don't know how long I can withstand it, forced by the request of the police department leader, the police department will definitely have no way to give you support, you go and check, this is the last chance. Ma Tao sighed: "I owe Captain Wang a lot of favors before, so I should pay it off." ”

Ma Tao glanced at the door again, and he said that he had secretly taken us to the identification department, and one last time to see the evidence brought back from the scene and Qian Er's body. Ma Tao has already said that at this point, we have no choice, we followed him to the identification department.

It seems that the people in the appraisal department have all been arranged to go to a meeting, leaving only a few people. As soon as we came in, they put the evidence in front of us. The results of the dagger were exactly the same as before, and I glanced at them and took them to heart, and then turned my attention to the other things I had brought back from the scene.

First of all, there was the flashlight we brought with us when we entered the mass grave, not only Qian Er and Jiang Jun were held, but also Xu Yi and I were brought into the police station. The flashlight is just a very ordinary flashlight, but the batteries contained in it are all old batteries that are almost unusable.

I immediately remembered that when we entered the mass grave, the flashlights in our hands were extinguished one by one, and it stands to reason that when we entered the mass grave, a place that scared the villagers, they should use brand new batteries, otherwise there would be no light, and they would only panic more.

"Who owns these flashlights?" I asked.

Ma Tao thought about it carefully and told us that the flashlights were all borrowed by Qian Er from various families, and as for the batteries, they were also collected by Qian Er from several households, and many people saw Qian Er stuff old batteries into the flashlight. There is a small shop in the village, which sells batteries, and some people ask Qian Er why he doesn't buy new batteries, but uses those batteries that are about to be unusable, Qian Er laughed and said that it was more economical, and he was determined that these batteries could last until they came back.

Hearing Ma Tao say this, I immediately sensed that something was wrong. We looked at the photos of the batteries, and it was obvious that these batteries were about to be unusable, and Qian Er was not so stupid that he didn't expect it. When we arrived at the mass grave, the flashlight was turned off, and Qian Er was the most excited and scared one, but these batteries were prepared by Qian Er himself, which is a bit contradictory.

Another thing was the thick clothes that Jiang Jun wore on his body, on which blood stains were found, so the police conducted a detailed investigation into the origin of this evidence. The advice to wear thick clothes was given by Sun Xiang, who was doing it at the time, and the villagers were already gathered there.

After Sun Xiang said something casually, some villagers went to the house to get clothes, and finally everyone picked out a few clothes that might fit our bodies and asked Sun Xiang to send them to us. Xu Yi and I glanced at each other, and we both saw suspicion in each other's eyes, and the specific time when the blood stained could not be determined, maybe it was Sun Xiang's hands and feet.

In our eyes, Sun Xiang has always been very strange, and we have listed this person as the object of our investigation.

Immediately afterward, we went to the morgue to see Qian Er's body. Qian Er lay quietly on the morgue, and the moment the white cloth was lifted, the first thing we saw was Qian Er's eyes. Without eyeballs, he looked extremely cautious, and Qian Er's cheeks were no longer bulging, because the eyeballs in his mouth had been taken out.

Qian Er's body did not show the scars of the fight, which means that Qian Er was killed quickly. Ma Tao said that Jiang Jun's skills were very good, and it was easy to kill the other party quickly. This police station, including Ma Tao, already thinks so, and he is willing to let us come, just to repay Wang Xin's love.

I knew that it was useless to say more, so I didn't answer Ma Tao's words.

In order to determine the evidence, the police station conducted a physical appraisal of Qian Er's body in addition to a chemical appraisal. No suspicious chemicals were found in Qian Er's body, and the forensic doctor found residual alcohol in Qian Er's stomach and mouth, but after identification, it was just a very ordinary medicinal wine.

That was before we set off, Sun Xiang gave Qian Er to drink, in order to further determine, Ma Tao also asked people to extract a little Sun Xiang's medicinal wine back for identification, and the identification result was still the same, no problem.

When I came out of the morgue, it was almost afternoon. I asked to see Jiang Jun again, but Ma Tao refused, saying that he had a headache and asked me not to embarrass him. Although he is the captain of the police force, the pressure of this case is too great. Ma Tao shook hands with me again, and he said that Jiang Jun's fate would be handed over to me, but he told me not to have too much hope, saying that the top was staring at this case, and he could only try to delay time for us, but it was estimated that it would not last long.

The available evidence is too unfavorable for Jiang Jun, and if a public prosecution is initiated, coupled with the pressure of the media and public opinion, the court will easily give a guilty verdict. Xu Yi was very dissatisfied with Ma Tao's attitude, and after she came out, she complained to me, I thought more thoroughly than Xu Yi.

I have come into contact with many cases in which the court finally sentenced the suspect to death for immediate execution due to public opinion, although the criminal suspect was cruel but should not have been sentenced to death according to the law. In this era background, the pressure of public opinion has seriously affected the judicial trial, and we cannot change many things, so we can only look for evidence to prove that Jiang Jun is not the murderer, or find out that the murderer is someone else.

Time was pressing, and when we came out of the police station, we got on the bus to the village, because we had already been here once, we were familiar with the way into the village, and after getting out of the car, we walked for more than 20 minutes, and finally entered the village.

When we passed the snake pit, we deliberately stopped to observe, the snake pit had been cleared, but the deep pit was still not filled. It was already evening, and after we stayed for a while, we immediately entered the village, and we didn't see many villagers, everyone seemed to be in the house.

We walked towards Sun Xiang's home......
