Chapter 12 The Meaning of Law
"Officer Wang, you are so reckless, you haven't figured out who Wei Bo and Li Qiang's backstage is, so you hurriedly went to arrest people."
"If you catch someone and get evidence and confessions, do you think you can close the case, the Yangming Lake corpse dumping case that caused a sensation in Yangming City was solved in less than a day by a female police officer who had just graduated, isn't it very fulfilling?"
"But you didn't expect Wei Tao to teach you a lesson, right?"
Wu Feng waited for Wang Xueqian to sit down opposite him, and said a bunch of things.
"How do you know this? Did my mom tell you? No, she doesn't know any of that. ”
Wu Feng pointed to his head and said, "Sister Li only said eight words, torture to extract confessions, suspension and reflection, these eight words are enough to tell me everything that happened to you this morning." ”
Wang Xueqian stared at Wu Feng's eyes with a look of disbelief.
"I gave you a USB flash drive last night, you found two suspects from the surveillance video, after you went to work today, through the face recognition system, the identities of Wei Bo and Li Qiang were determined, and then you immediately took action, raided, and caught the two in Wei Bo or Li Qiang's house, and found the evidence of the two people's crimes, and then used some small means of torture to get the testimony of Wei Bo and Li Qiang."
"But you didn't expect that after returning to the police station, Deputy Sheriff Wei Tao made a move, Wei Bo and Li Qiang retracted their confessions on the spot, and you were suspended for torture and reflection."
Wu Feng told the picture he had deduced in his mind.
"How did you know the identities of Wei Bo and Li Qiang?" Wang Xueqian asked.
"All roads lead to Rome, and before the facial recognition system comes out, won't the police solve the case?" Wu Feng asked rhetorically.
Wang Xueqian was silent, her silence was tantamount to admitting that Wu Feng's speculation was not wrong.
"Officer Wang, let's talk about it, what evidence did you find at that time, and the confessions of Wei Bo and Li Qiang also said, they confessed the crime against Li Fang." Wu Feng has regained the feeling he had when he was a criminal policeman, and Wang Xueqian has now become his informant.
"In Wei Bo's house and Li Qiang's house, nothing about Li Fang was found, including bloodstains, hair, and Wei Bo and Li Qiang did not admit the crimes they committed against Li Fang. But I found a suspicion, the wooden floor, bed, sofa, and wardrobe in Wei Bo's room were all new, but the wooden floors and furniture in the living room and other rooms were relatively old, so I concluded that Wei Bo's room was the first crime scene. Wang Xueqian said.
Wu Feng nodded, Wang Xueqian seems to have some potential to be a criminal policeman, and she still has basic reasoning skills.
However, reasoning alone and no evidence cannot convict two people.
Evidence is an integral part of the conviction process.
The crime scene has been cleared, and the difficulty of collecting evidence has increased.
"The police's intuition convinced me that Wei Bo and Li Qiang were the murderers, so I used some small means, and they recruited everything." Wang Xueqian had some confidence on her face.
"What small means? Did you hit them? Wu Feng remembered that Wang Xueqian was good at kung fu and had serious violent tendencies.
"No, I have a pet spider." After Wang Xueqian finished speaking, she turned her hand, and a big black spider crawled out of the back of her hand, the size of a human fist, the spider's eyes radiated a faint green light, and a huge mouthpiece kept opening and closing up and down.
Wu Feng was startled, his body shrank into the sofa, he had a natural fear of spiders, snakes and other animals.
"Don't be afraid, this is a bionic spider, its name is Xiao Hei, it's not real, I don't believe you touch it." Wang Xueqian made a gesture to hand over the spider.
"Don't, don't come here, I believe you have a hammer." Wu Feng was so frightened that his heartbeat almost stopped, and he saw that the spider was clearly a real one, how could any bionic spider be so realistic.
He was on his guard, and as soon as the spider tried to come, he ran away.
Wang Xueqian saw Wu Feng's nervous appearance and smiled proudly, she had the upper hand in momentum for the first time in front of Wu Feng
She took the big spider back and continued: "Wei Bo and Li Qiang were frightened by Xiao Hei and obediently explained their crimes: Li Fang worked as a tutor near Wei Bo's house, so Wei Bo saw Li Fang a few times, and gradually became lustful, and after several accostings were refused, Wei Bo teamed up with Li Qiang on Li Fang's way home, forcibly dragged Li Fang into the car, and took Wei Bo's house to imprison him, and the two violated Li Fang for half a month, during which in order to better control Li Fang, the two injected drugs into Li Fang many times, made Li Fang addicted to drugs. ”
"Ten days ago, due to an overdose of drugs, Li Fang fell into a coma and vomited violently in the coma, Wei Bo and Li Qiang were unwilling to clean Li Fang's throat with vomit, causing Li Fang to suffocate to death, and later, Wei Bo and Li Qiang put Li Fang's body in a suitcase and threw the body in Yangming Lake."
Wu Feng nodded, Wei Bo and Li Qiang did not lie about their confessions, these corresponded to Li Fang's autopsy report.
Wu Feng's fingers began to tap on the table of the coffee table again, and began to think.
With this confession, basically Wei Bo and Li Qiang's criminal history is clear, but this alone still can't convict the two people.
Because no evidence of the crime was found at the crime scene, the confession must match the evidence in order to convict the suspect.
A single confession cannot be convicted.
Wang Xueqian also graduated from the police academy no matter how she said it, and she must know this.
"Do you have any other evidence?" Wu Feng asked.
"Of course, after Wei Bo confessed the crime, while I was not paying attention, he suddenly threw his mobile phone into the fish tank of his house, I immediately realized that he was destroying evidence, Li Qiang also wanted to follow Wei Bo's example, I stopped me, from Li Qiang's mobile phone, I found a large number of videos, they violated and abused Li Fang, all filmed, and there are not only Li Fang's videos, but also several other girls."
"Now the phone is in Wei Tao's hands, right?"
"You're right, I didn't expect Wei Tao to be so lawless in the police station, his cronies smashed Wei Bo and Li Qiang's mobile phones on the spot, probably suspecting that I had transcribed the video, and even my mobile phone was smashed by them."
If the mobile phone video is still there, it can be used as direct evidence to convict Wei Bo and Li Qiang.
But now that the phone is gone, the case has come full circle and is back to square one.
"Who else has seen the video? Able to act as a witness. Wu Feng thought for a while and asked.
"I went with me to arrest Wei Bo and Li Qiang, and two colleagues, he also watched the video, and now they are suspended like me, but they may not be willing to testify in court, when they knew that the people I wanted to arrest were Wei Bo and Li Qiang, they didn't dare to do anything at the scene, and after returning to the police station, Wei Tao was waiting at the police station, I suspect that they reported the news." Wang Xueqian said.
The road of human witness is also impassable.
Wu Feng and Wang Xueqian were silent.
An originally very simple case became difficult under Wei Tao's obstruction.
That's the abominable thing about umbrellas.
Criminals are protected and can continue to go unpunished.
The victims do not get justice and cannot turn their eyes to Jiuquan.
The police officers administered justice, but they were severely suppressed.
In the face of private power that covers the sky with one hand, justice has to be temporarily retreated.
"What are you going to do next?" Wu Feng asked.
"I haven't thought about it yet, there are only two ways left, I want to contact reporters to expose them, or go to the higher authorities to report Wei Tao, but without mobile phone video evidence, it is very difficult." Wang Xueqian said.
"The two roads you mentioned are actually one way, and contacting reporters to expose them is also to attract the attention and intervention of higher authorities." Wu Feng said.
"Only power can defeat power." Wang Xueqian nodded approvingly, she was not only a school flower when she was in the police academy, but also a top student, and she has always been particularly proud of her reasoning and analysis ability.
But after talking to Wu Feng about the case for a while today, Wang Xueqian found that Wu Feng's reasoning ability far surpassed her, making it difficult for her to match.
This made her feel a deep sense of frustration.
"In fact, there is another way, although Wei Tao has power, he is also a person, it is difficult to defeat power, but it is easy to defeat a person, a sniper rifle is enough." Wu Feng said lightly.
"You're breaking the law."
Wang Xueqian stood up suddenly, she was shocked by Wu Feng's remarks, just now she was still admiring Wu Feng's reasoning ability, but she didn't expect Wu Feng to immediately say an extreme remark.
This kind of remark is very dangerous, which shows that Wu Feng has a tendency to commit crimes in his heart.
Wu Feng motioned for Wang Xueqian to sit down and not to be excited.
After Wang Xueqian sat down again, Wu Feng continued: "Officer Wang, have you ever thought about what the meaning of the law is? ”
Wu Feng put forward an ultimate proposition of law.
The meaning of life is the ultimate proposition of life, and the meaning of law is the ultimate proposition of law.
Wang Xueqian was stunned when asked, she didn't expect Wu Feng's thinking to be so out-of-the-box, she was still discussing Li Fang's case just now, and now it has risen to the ultimate proposition of the law.
She never thought about this question well, just as she never thought about what the meaning of life was.
She felt that those things were too ethereal, and they didn't help much with reality, and thinking too much about them would only add to her troubles.
How many people in this world can understand the meaning of life and the meaning of law?
But she is a police officer and a law enforcer, and she can't avoid Wu Feng's question.
It is a ridiculous thing for a law enforcer to have no idea what the meaning of the law he is defending.
However, the reality is that Wang Xueqian really doesn't know.
She thought about it for a moment and came up with an answer that she thought was the right one.
"The meaning of law is to maintain social justice."
