Chapter 39: Decoupling
Unexpectedly, Zhang Muzi, who had pieced together the truth of the incident with a little bit of fragmented clues, felt that his head had become blank as if he had been punched, and when he opened his mouth, the beads of sweat on his forehead unconsciously dripped on the wooden table.
Seeing this scene, the female police officer's heart moved, her face was straightened, and she was about to exert pressure again, when suddenly the door of the interrogation room was pushed open, and a man and a woman, about fifty years old, who were properly maintained and looked like husband and wife, walked in quickly.
As soon as the woman saw Zhang Muzi's confused appearance, her eyes were red and she rushed up, hugged her son, and shouted incoherently: "Muzi, child, you are like this, why are you sad?"
What happened to my son to you policemen, he is like this, you don't rush to the hospital, I, I want to sue you, I must sue you.
Lawyer Song, Lawyer Song, can they be like this, to bring my child to this kind of place for no reason, to be scared like this. β
"Of course not, don't worry, Mrs. Zhang, although Zhang Muzi has reached the age of eighteen and has full civil and criminal capacity, he is not yet an adult after all, and he has been studying all the time, without any social experience.
Under this premise, the confession made by a single person under pressure is doubtful. Following the couple, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a gentle temperament, immediately appeared in front of the client, showing superb professionalism.
After that, he looked at an old man next to him who was wearing a police uniform, but he didn't look like a policeman, and his temperament was quite peaceful, and his tone changed, and Yan SΓΉ unceremoniously named his surname and said: "Captain Ye Tianlong, my client is a witness, but your Yuanbei police brought him to the interrogation room to ask for a confession, although it is not illegal, but it is not reasonable at all."
I suspect that there is a possibility of inducing a confession or coercing a confession, now please show me the confession he made before, and my client's current mental state is obviously very unstable now, I ask you to take him to the hospital immediately for examination, if there is any problem, I will reserve the right to prosecute the Yuanbei Police Station. β
"Okay, Lawyer Song," the old man nodded with a gentle expression, and ordered the female police officer with a cold temperament on the side, "Police Officer An, give your recorded mouth to Lawyer Song to see." Then he said to a tall policeman behind him: "Police Zuo Liu, go and arrange a car to send the witness to the hospital for examination..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Xiangzhi had already shouted and helped Zhang Muzi up, "We don't need you policemen to pretend to be kind, you can go to the hospital yourself."
If something really happens to my son, you, you just wait to go to court...", and her husband walked out the door with her son in his arms.
When the employer left, the lawyer surnamed Song did not follow the footsteps at the first time, but took the confession handed by the female police officer with a cold face and looked at it, and then sensitively picked up several appraisal reports scattered on the wooden table and quickly skimmed them, and said with a playful smile on his face, "Captain Ye, it seems that I arrived in time."
An unsigned confession is just scrap of paper, and now if you want to 'convict' my client based on the evidence you have, I'm afraid you have to find a science fiction writer-turned-prosecutor.
Therefore, I advise you not to waste public policing resources and divert your attention from the investigation. After that, he lifted his glasses and strolled out of the interrogation room.
Looking at his disappearing back, Ye Tianlong's face, which had always maintained a gentle attitude, suddenly appeared with a fierce expression that only old policemen and veteran gangsters can have, and muttered to himself: "If it is the era of 'scientific case handling', then there will be lawyers who are so arrogant, and the confession of the case has already been made..."
The so-called 'era of scientific case-handling' in the mouths of police officers or those who are familiar with the history of police affairs on Yuantai Island refers specifically to the fact that 20 or 30 years ago, when human rights were not popularized in the 'Republic of China', when the police investigated and handled cases, 'those with evidence were given three points, and those without evidence were given 10 points', and the dark age of justice when torture was used to force confessions, which is a kind of self-deprecating metaphor.
Hearing the commander say this, the female police officer with a cold temperament on the side shook her head and said regretfully: "Captain, it's useless to say anything now, if you can delay a little longer, at most ten minutes, the confession will be in hand, in that case, at least you can successfully apply for an arrest warrant, and the next thing will be much easier." β
"Delay for another ten minutes," Ye Tianlong sighed, and said in an equal tone that didn't look like talking to his subordinates: "An Jingzheng, what you say is easy, but it is difficult for me to do."
That barrister Song Lihao has a wide range of contacts, and when I took him around the police station a few times, he was already going to call Mango Weekly and find paparazzi to report that our Yuanbei Police Station disregarded human rights, detained minors for no reason, and did not allow lawyers and family members to visit.
Okay, a good case has become 'psychological warfare', and the chance of success is not great, so let's talk about your opinion, how likely is that young man to be the murderer of the 'missing case'?"
"Before I recorded a confession, it was about 20 percent, but now I think there is at least half of the chance that it will be him, and even if he is not a suspect, he must have a deep connection with the 'disappearance'. The female officer replied categorically.
"Since you, the goddess detective, are so sure, then let's focus on that young man and send police officers to monitor him twenty-four hours a day," Ye Tianlong said without hesitation after hearing the words of his most capable officer, and then he suddenly thought of a possibility, frowned slightly, and sighed, "But I'm just afraid..."
"I have seen Zhang's confession and the evidence in the hands of the police, and the possibility of filing a lawsuit is almost zero, but the influence of the 'Tiangong Town Disappearance Case' is too great, and the situation may evolve very complicated.
It is best for me to go abroad for a period of time in the name of study tours or travel and relaxation. At the same time, in a recreational vehicle with shining lights on and running on the streets of 'Yuanbei', Song Lihao, who was sitting in the co-pilot, turned his head to look at Li Xiangzhou and Zhang Hanmin and said.
Zhang Hanmin, who has never been involved in a criminal lawsuit in his life, heard the lawyer's words, and after being stunned for a moment, his gloomy face slowly turned red, and he said excitedly: "Lawyer Song, the disappearance case must have nothing to do with my son, he usually doesn't even dare to skip school, how can he disappear with more than 20 people..."
"Mr. Zhang, please calm down," Seeing a lot of this kind of rich people yelling in front of him because of children's problems, Song Lihao persuaded very professionally: "My decision to make Zhang go abroad does not mean that I feel that he has any suspicion, or that we are weak-minded, but this is the most direct, simple and effective way to solve the current problem."
A few years ago, in the Wuqiao speeding accident case, the Bandian ** case, and the inland amphetamine death case, the parents of the young people involved in the case all arranged for their children to go abroad for temporary refuge, and finally waited until the truth of the case was revealed before returning to the 'round platform'.
This is actually the long-term love of people, teenagers and twenties-year-olds, of course, parents don't want him to bear too much pressure brought by the police handling cases, and everyone can understand that he leaves temporarily. β
"This, this is also true. Looking at his son, who was in his wife's arms, with his eyes closed and depressed, Zhang Hanmin's inexplicable anger and anger turned into a sigh, and he said weakly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiangzhou asked in a hoarse voice: "Lawyer Song, we originally planned to let Muzi go to college on the Korean Peninsula, is it okay not to go abroad to go there?"
"The Korean Peninsula and Yuantai Island are relatively independent in their jurisdiction, so it's okay to go there. Song Lihao nodded with a smile.
Although the Korean Peninsula was de facto annexed by the old government of China, it was, after all, a sovereign state with a history of 1,000 years, and its accession to the Republic of China was similar to the form of an alliance between England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland to form the 'United Kingdom', enjoying the right of self-government except for the right of national defense, and having its own judicial system.
"Then I'll send my son away within two days," Hearing the lawyer's words, Li Xiangzhi said decisively: "The Yuantai police won't stop it, right?"
"You've thought too much about Mrs. Zhang, as I just said, the possibility of the police filing a lawsuit is almost zero, and no one can restrict Zhang's freedom without an arrest warrant. Ye Tianlong said with a smile.
As soon as his voice fell, Zhang Hanmin, who was stunned by his wife's sudden decision, had come back to his senses, looked at Li Xiangzhi on the side and said in a hesitant whisper: "Xiangzhi, the child's studies are a big deal, so suddenly send Muzi to 'North Korea', what should he do with this year's joint entrance examination, should we think about it again." β
"I've thought about it, after arriving in the 'Han Dynasty', let Muzi rest for a few days, and then find him a high school or cram school to continue his education," Li Xiangzhi said confidently: "Anyway, I already plan to let him go to the 'Han Dynasty' to study at university, and it would be good to go a few months earlier to adapt to the environment."
It's too late today, and after visiting my father in the hospital tomorrow, I'll send Muzi on the plane in the afternoon. β
"Well, that's too urgent. Zhang Hanmin opened his mouth and said.
"Hermes-Epitek, none of us understand legal matters, so the smartest thing to do now is to listen to the professionals," Li Xiangzhi looked back into her husband's eyes and explained softly: "Since Lawyer Song asked Muzi to leave, then we should send our son out of the 'Yuantai' in the shortest possible time, right?" β
Song Lihao, who was on the side, couldn't help but show an appreciative expression when he heard this, and Zhang Hanmin was silent for a while, then nodded lightly, approving his wife's idea.
