Chapter 405: The Prisoner of Guilt
"Oh? What's so special? "Clearly, this is the crux of the matter. The scenes were actually the reminders left by the death row prisoner Hong Zhaozhi to Judge Li after his death.
"It's the picture in the toilet." Li Qingmo said with certainty. "I didn't expect it if you didn't say it, but now that I think about it, that Hong Zhaozhi seems to be very proud of this case, or very interested in something, every time he shows me one of his crimes, he will let me see what happened in the toilet once, if the second, fourth, sixth, eighth, and tenth times he let me see are different cases, then the first, third, fifth, seventh, and ninth times are all this case. Isn't it, what special significance does this case have for him? Speaking of this, Li Qingmo's words suddenly stopped, and his face began to turn black rapidly.
"Judge Li, what's wrong with you?" The judge's expression was abnormal, very abnormal. Just now she didn't have any special reaction when she mentioned the replay of the case in the toilet, but now that she talks about this case as a special case, her face is inexplicably dark, could it be that she knows about this case? "Could it be that Judge Li knows something about this case?"
"This should be a missed case." Gao Ting suddenly interjected, "Just now in the archives of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, I checked the file about Hong Zhaozhi, Hong Zhaozhi has a total of 11 human lives, and among the 11 cases involving human lives, there is absolutely no such toilet rape and murder case." ”
"You said it wasn't in the dossier? In other words, that Hong Zhaozhi made these messy things, but he actually wanted to tell the world about his crimes? "I have a very strange reason in my head, it's really funny, people are trying to hide their own crimes from people, why is this guy so different, he wants people to know what he did? But even if there are more homicides, what difference does it make? Even if he confessed when he was alive, he would not be sentenced lightly because of this, on the contrary, it would only increase his culpability, now that everyone is dead, a hundred years old, why should he be so persistent in a case he did when he was alive?
"Actually, I know a little bit about this case." Li Qingmo, whose face was gloomy and scary, suddenly grabbed the cup on the coffee table and poured a sip of water fiercely. "However, it is not in the relevant files, but in court."
"In court?" I was stunned, generally this kind of serial murderer is prosecuted by the prosecutor, and then tried, the prosecutor's complaint, before the trial, the judge will also know something, it is impossible to say that only when you appear in court do you know all the strange things that have happened.
Li Qingmo took a deep breath and looked around at the three of us again, "Public security and justice, it is a family, since things have come to this point, the dead friends are not dead and poor, I will tell you, but you will finish listening, don't let others know, okay?" I hope this is the end of the matter and that it doesn't get any more out of trouble. ”
Li Qingmo said solemnly, but I nodded copingly, as for whether the matter can be ignored, it depends on what the matter is, if it is not something that violates the principle or loses its conscience, it is nothing.
Seeing me nodding, Li Qingmo didn't even make sure how sincere there was in my nod, so he couldn't wait to say it. "On the day of the trial, the public prosecution indicted Hong Zhaozhi in nine rape and murder cases that Hong Zhaozhi confessed to, and Hong Zhaozhi told us on the spot: 'The first case I did was the case of a female corpse in the toilet, why didn't the procuratorate prosecute, why didn't anyone mention it during the trial?' At that time, the scene of the trial was very embarrassing: only the defendant denied the guilt, how could the defendant take the initiative to take the blame? There were several bailiffs at the scene to maintain order, and in order to maintain order in the courtroom, I did not ask him to continue to give more details on the matter. After that, the case continued to be held, and Hong Zhaozhi was sentenced to death in court, pending the second trial of the Provincial High Court. Li Qingmo licked his lips, as if he was still recalling the events of that day.
"In that case, why did you stop him from continuing to present the case?" I asked about the greasy taste. As a judge and a presiding judge, if the suspect is messing around in the courtroom and the presiding judge stops it, it is justified, but why should people confess their crimes?
"The case he confessed to happened 18 years ago, and the details of the crime he confessed in court were very detailed, and they were basically the same as the facts of that case, that is, the one he showed me in the window glass. Although it has been 18 years, I remember the case very clearly at that time, and at the first time, I was almost certain that the case was done by him. Li Qingmo took another deep breath, it seemed that these things were very difficult to say.
"If you can basically assume that he did it, why stop him from going on? That's the question I've been asking all along. "I don't like the way she speaks. Well, very much disliked. Not at all.
"Because the case 18 years ago was solved that year, and the suspect was also arrested, and the death penalty was carried out after the verdict was announced!" Li Qingmo's voice was very low, but what he said shocked the three of us.
"You, Judge Li, are you saying that the case that Hong Zhaozhi confessed to was closed eighteen years ago, and the murderer was executed?" Bai Bing asked in an unbelievable tone, as a policeman, a woman who has longed for the profession of police since she was a child, she is very devout and believes in the fairness of justice, and what Li Qingmo said obviously made her a little difficult to accept.
"Yes, the verdict was pronounced eighteen years ago, when I had just entered the courthouse, and the judge who tried that case was the master who took me at that time. That was the first case I was exposed to. At that time, I was very angry, I felt that the suspect deserved to die 10,000 times, and when the court sentenced him to death immediately, I was still very happy, and felt that my master had eliminated the harm for the people and avenged the dead woman, but I didn't expect that after so many years, I heard a completely different result from the beginning. ”
"So you refused to believe the facts and stopped him from going on?" I'm a little angry, this woman is not wronged at all when she is haunted by ghosts, people want to confess their crimes in court, but she refuses to let her, it's really unreasonable.
"Yes, the current public opinion is so fierce, once it is determined that the case of the year is an unjust, false and wrongful case, it is still a trivial matter to take it out for retrial, if someone dies, my master and their group of people will be implicated, I was brought out by them, now they are very old, the dead are dead, it is impossible to come back to life, I don't want them to be investigated because of the unjust, false and wrongful case when they are dying......" Li Qingmo's voice became lower and lower. By the end, it was almost impossible to hear.
"Hehe, it's really high-sounding, but what about the others? You're not the only one in the court, so you kept it hidden? "This is simply a matter of careless human life, hehe, why don't you want your master to carry a lawsuit when he is old, I really don't know what the suspect who was unjustly killed should think if he knows her bullshit.
"At that time, there were many people in the court, but it was not a public trial that day, and only a few of our judges and people from the public prosecution were mainly present, all of whom were from the public procuratorate and law. Anyway, there is no more human life on his body, and there is no less than one, even if there is no human life, he is also a death sentence, why bother to add such a human life to him and let more people be sued? ”
It's really high-sounding, as if they did something good. Hurting the heavens and reason, ignoring people's lives, want to hide it like this? It's really beautiful.
"Brother Gao, what do you think about this?" I set my sights on the high pavilion. At this time, don't talk about the three of us, even Gu Yishan understands, Hong Zhaozhi has been saying that he has something to do, and he can't die yet, not referring to the fact that he didn't kill anyone and didn't retaliate against anyone, but that his crime was not finished, I don't know what to say, criminals have humanity? It can't be said that he can't be considered a good person after committing such a lot of crimes, at most, he can be regarded as an honest criminal.
Gao Ting raised the water glass, looked at it, and put it back on the coffee table, "I'm thirsty, but I don't want to drink your family's water, it's a shame for the public procuratorate and the law family, and people like you." Brother Shen Hao, can we summon the soul again, find out Hong Zhaozhi's soul, and tell him that we have decided this matter, let him rest assured. If someone bears the charge for him, and he is not happy, then we will give justice to the person who bears the charge. ”
"Nope! You can't do that! Li Qingmo suddenly shouted hysterically, "You can't do this, you can't do this, didn't you promise me just now, I told you about this matter, you keep it secret for me, you won't tell others, why are you saying that now!" You lied to me! Swindler! Swindler! "The woman looked like a mad tiger, if it weren't for Bai Bing holding her, she would even want to pounce on Gao Ting and scratch him with her hands.
"It's him who nods, not me." Gao Ting shrugged his shoulders, and I suddenly remembered Guo Degang's famous saying, your shameless appearance is very much like I was back then.
Just when Li Qingmo was crazy, Gao Ting was shameless, and Gu Yishan was depressed, I heard some strange sounds in my ears, as if something was being torn. Almost at the same moment, all the curtains and cloths that I could see covering the glass were shattered, but the living room did not light up because of the broken curtains, on the contrary, the whole living room fell into a dead darkness......
