Chapter 209: Justifiable Defense
Song Lan never expected that the Madell she was waiting for did not come, but on the first day of moving in, she bumped into a murder of Eucalyptus.
Out of the sense of responsibility of a law enforcement officer, he closely observed the situation next door, because in his opinion, the combination of Su Li and this young girl together was really a bit strange, judging from the situation at the scene, it did not look like a premeditated murder.
With the ability of the Suli three-star rescuer, if you really want to kill someone, you shouldn't be reduced to strangling someone with both hands.
In Song Lan's opinion, this is more like Su Li unconsciously killing someone after taking drugs.
He immediately told Lu Xiang of his discovery, and the latter quickly made a portrait of the deceased based on his description, and found information about the deceased from the database of the law enforcement department.
The deceased was a well-known courtesan in the upper class of the 17th arrondissement, and this morning, she and Su Li also attended a business event together, and Lu Xiang speculated that after the event, the two might have returned to Su Li's temporary residence.
This accommodation was rented by Koloe Film and Television Media in order to let Su Li integrate into the role more quickly.
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Xiang took the special operations team and the mechanical zerg who were ambushed in the shadows to block people, and captured Su Li, who had not yet recovered from the effects of the medicine, on the spot, and brought back to the bureau with his body.
I don't know if it was because Su Li was delirious, he didn't resist fiercely, which made Song Lan next door and the mechanical hornworm hiding in the shadows breathe a sigh of relief.
Su Li made a positive choice at every critical moment, so that he did not resist and be killed on the spot after the killing.
But after bringing Su Li back to the bureau, Lu Xiang also had a headache about it.
Because the prisoner this time was not a criminal from District 17, but a three-star rescuer, even if the evidence at the scene was conclusive, it was difficult for them to convict Su Li through legal means.
According to the laboratory results, the pinch marks on the neck of the deceased were indeed caused by Su Li, but there was no third witness during the whole incident.
Even Song Lan didn't know what had happened before that.
In the coalition government's law on the protection of rescuers, there is a provision that borders on hooligans - when rescuers feel threatened, they have the right to shoot and kill those who pose a threat to them.
This provision is included in the Third Law on the Rescuer and the Unlimited Right of Defense, and its biggest hooliganism is that the threat does not have to be objective, as long as the rescuer subjectively believes that he has been threatened, they have the right to self-defense.
In other words, as long as Su Li had threatened him by biting the deceased to death after he was sober, then this would be characterized as a legitimate defense.
In the past, many legal scholars pointed out the illegitimacy of this law and believed that it should be given an objective definition of threat, but every time the proposal to amend the law was rejected.
Because that brings us to another issue.
In today's supernatural powers, objective threats are difficult to define, and people with murderous intent don't necessarily have to come at you with knives and guns, but for some psionic beings, they only need to take some seemingly harmless actions when they pass by you to take your life.
Because at the moment of possible threat, it is up to the rescuer himself to make a decision based on experience or premonition.
People from both factions can find countless examples to support their views.
To this day, there are cases of manslaughter in various cities every year; Of course, there are also cases where the rescuer dies after choosing inaction because of a momentary soft-heartedness.
Eventually, in order to protect the heroes who had made outstanding contributions to the country, the coalition government issued the Third Law on the Rescuer and the Unlimited Right to Defense.
Therefore, there is often a saying in the core area.
Don't provoke rescuers.
Under the protection of this law, the killer has the final interpretation of his actions, in other words, if you provoke the rescuer as an ordinary person, he will kill you in vain.
And now, she has to interrogate a Su Li who has the final say for her killing.
But if the latter gives a logically self-justifying explanation, they will have to release them according to the Third Law of the Rescuer and the Unlimited Right of Defense.
What's more, this matter is now very likely to have reached Kolo Film and Television Media, as a large enterprise no less than Tesla Technology, their legal department should have begun to plan to fish for people by now.
After being escorted back to the law enforcement department, Su Li also woke up from the state of Lost Lake.
Lu Xiang walked into the interrogation room, and before she could speak, Su Li said in a calm tone, "She drugged me." ”
He seemed to know exactly what he had done, and he didn't regret what he did, "I don't know what kind of drug it is, my consciousness became muddy after taking it, and I can only make the most reasonable judgment to ensure my own safety, but one thing I need to affirm is that I just wanted her to faint, but under the effect of the drug, I can't control my strength precisely." ”
"So you crushed her neck?"
Lu Xiang raised his eyes and glanced at Su Li.
The cause of death of the deceased was suffocation, but after laboratory tests, the deceased's cervical vertebrae were broken, which is enough to see the ferocity of the force.
"One Sword Alone"
Hearing this, Su Li's eyes showed a trace of self-reproach, "This is not my intention. ”
"So, why are you taking the medicine she gave you?"
"Because she said it was a new type of fortified drug that their company had developed, and she wanted me to help them test it."
As he spoke, Su Li raised his arm and clenched his fists in front of her, and the next moment, the swollen muscles suddenly burst through the cuffs, which made his arms look as terrifying as a beastman, "As you can see, I passed the third-level strength assessment last year, and I thought it was just an ordinary business cooperation." ”
Hearing this, Lu Xiang nodded and did not continue to ask.
Su Licong came up with a logically self-justifying explanation, and if she wanted to question the reasonableness of that explanation, she would need to present strong evidence.
In the case of rescuers, personal suspicion pales.
And Su Li's explanation just now did not pause at all, not like a story that was improvised after entering the bureau.
So, there are only two possibilities.
Either what Su Li said was true, he had obvious discomfort after taking the pills, and killed the other party in order to protect himself; Or, it's not the first time he's done this, and he's able to face the interrogation calmly.
While the two were talking, the legal department of Kolo Film and Television Media arrived, and they prepared evidence that would ensure that Su Li walked through the door of the law enforcement department.
This evidence proved that the deceased had close ties with a local gang engaged in the illegal drug business, and that there were a number of people who had dealings with her who accused the deceased of drugging their drinks in order to extort them.
Su Li's performance in the interrogation room was equally impeccable.
From beginning to end, he remained calm, did not get angry, and did not move out of his identity as a three-star rescuer, but actively cooperated with the interrogation process.
Even before leaving, he expressed his support for their work and was willing to cooperate with all subsequent follow-up investigations.
Su Li, did you really kill the deceased out of self-defense?
Even the experienced Lu Xiang made a fuss.
