Ren Qiushi gives us a situation of assisted suicide that sounds a little ridiculous.

Liu Xiaoqian wanted to commit suicide, but she lacked the courage to commit suicide, or the instinctive mechanism of the human body to survive, so she failed to commit suicide.

So she found someone and helped her complete the suicide, and the person pressed her head hard and pressed her head into the water, causing her to drown.

Liu Xiaoqian didn't resist the whole time, because she was already determined to die.

This situation is simply ridiculous.

In China's Criminal Law, there is no relevant provision on assisted suicide, and instigating and helping others to commit suicide should be punished as intentional homicide, but considering that in instigating and aiding suicide, the behavior of the suicide person often plays a decisive role, therefore, a lenient punishment should be given according to the circumstances of the case.

But aiding suicide is very difficult to define in terms of evidence collection whether it is intentional homicide or aided homicide.

In our country, there have been many cases of assisted suicide.

The victim, Zhu, suffered a traffic accident in 2011 that caused high paraplegia, and because he was unable to take care of himself for a long time, he had thoughts of suicide. In September 2015, Zhu met Xu through social software, and agreed that Zhu would pay the honorarium, and Xu Dejun would be responsible for killing Zhu. On the morning of October 11, Xu came to Zhu's house and stabbed Zhu several times in the abdomen with a prepared fruit knife. After rescue, Zhu has been in a coma and is in critical condition, which has constituted a second-degree serious injury. The local Intermediate People's Court found the defendant Xu guilty of intentional homicide and sentenced him to 12 years imprisonment and deprivation of political rights for three years; The defendant Xu Dejun was ordered to return the honorarium of the victim Zhu and make compensation, totaling more than 470,000 yuan.

In 2015, the eighty-year-old Yang wanted to commit suicide because of his wife, who died in four years, but he did not have the ability to commit suicide, so he asked his daughter-in-law Dong to strangle himself. Dong considered that he could be exempted from the responsibility of support after the death of the old man, so he agreed to Yang's request, and strangled Yang to bed with a rope. Later, after forensic examination, the cause of death was mechanical suffocation caused by external force on the neck, and the police launched an investigation in accordance with the law. The local Intermediate People's Court found Dong guilty of intentional homicide in accordance with law and sentenced him to life imprisonment and deprivation of political rights for life.

In the final analysis, helping suicide is also homicide, and whether you understand the law or not, you will also know what is at stake.

Now the case of Liu Xiaoqian's drowning death has been thoroughly investigated, and the accident and suicide have been ruled out, and someone helped to commit suicide.

Li Meng and Xue Hang continued to investigate the murder of Zhang Mengyu, and early the next morning, Lin Zifan and Jiang Tingbai immediately led the technical team and the criminal police team to conduct a second on-site investigation of the crime scene near Qinghe. At the same time, a frogman team was dispatched to search for relevant physical evidence in the Qinghe River.

Heavy rain overnight caused the water level of the Qinghe River to soar, and the shallowest position reached more than three meters.

Fortunately, the heavy rain has finally stopped now.

According to the results of our first police investigation of the scene, Liu Xiaoqian's drowning site was in the shallows near the pavilion, and her body was washed downstream near the stone bridge.

According to Liu Xiaoqian's mother, she did not find the suicide note left by Liu Xiaoqian at home, but at the same time, she did not find Liu Xiaoqian's mobile phone, backpack and other items.

This shows that when Liu Xiaoqian came here to prepare to commit suicide, she was carrying a mobile phone.

But where did the deceased's cell phone go?

The Technical Investigation Department has been making calls to locate Liu Xiaoqian's mobile phone, but the mobile phone is missing and turned off, and it is not ruled out that the mobile phone was abandoned by others.

It was raining heavily at the time of the crime, and the woods in Qinghe were even more remote, and it was almost impossible for Liu Xiaoqian to meet passers-by there, so the person who assisted her in committing suicide was probably her friend.

Therefore, now finding Liu Xiaoqian's mobile phone has become the key to a breakthrough in the case.

With the gazebo as the center, the technical team continued to expand the search scope and conduct on-site investigations. The frogman team also entered the Qinghe River to conduct an underwater search.

"With such a rapid current, even if the murderer threw his mobile phone into the river at that time, he doesn't know where it was washed now." Lin Zifan looked at the vast Qinghe River and sighed.

Niu Xiufen usually doesn't care about Liu Xiaoqian at all, and she doesn't know Liu Xiaoqian's social relationships. Liu Xiaoqian graduated last year, and this year she is reviewing at home to prepare for the World War II graduate school entrance examination, and her usual social interaction is relatively simple. Nowadays, people socialize through mobile phones, and if you can find her mobile phone, then there will definitely be a major discovery. I said lightly.

If the phone is abandoned in the woods by the killer, that's the best-case scenario. If the killer threw the phone into the river, or took it away, then this idea would be shattered.

"I hope there is good news!" Lin Zifan let out a long sigh.

"Old Qin! Good news! ”

As soon as Lin Zifan's words fell, Jiang Tingbai's voice suddenly came from the woods.

At this moment, Lin Zifan and I glanced at each other, with an unbelievable look in our eyes, and the joy in our hearts made the corners of our mouths rise involuntarily.

"My mouth is open?!" Lin Zifan smiled incredulously.

I also smiled and hurriedly ran in the direction of Jiang Tingbai.

Jiang Tingbai was in the woods downstream of the pavilion at this time, and was leading the technical team to carry out carpet on-site investigation work.

"What's the matter, old dog, what did you find?" I hurriedly ran to Jiang Tingbai's side.

Jiang Tingbai's face was full of pride, even his waist was straighter than before, and he said very ostentatiously: "I am your lucky general!" As soon as I walked here, I could smell a faint perfume here. ”

"Perfume?" I frowned and sniffed hard, but all I could smell was the earthy smell of the first sunny day after the rain.

Jiang Tingbai looked at me, hummed, seemed to show off, seemed to mock, he led us to a place five steps away, the technical team, which was digging.

It's not so much digging as gently brushing away the floating soil on the ground.

Sure enough, underneath a very shallow dirt pit, a small square ladies' backpack was found.

This pit is simply very shallow, and there is no trace of excavation, presumably after the murderer killed, with the help of the wet soil in the rain, simply dug a pit, and buried the backpack in it.

"By the way, the last time you surveyed the scene, why didn't you smell it?" I asked, somewhat curious.

"We didn't come to this place last time, and it was raining heavily last time, and the rain covered all the smells." Jiang Tingbai said lightly.

The technical team picked up the women's backpack and unzipped it, which contained a lipstick, half a bottle of perfume without a lid, and a mobile phone.

"It's only twenty meters away from the pavilion here, and it's very likely that this backpack is Liu Xiaoqian's, immediately hand over the mobile phone to the Technical Investigation Department, and be sure to restore the information inside!" I said excitedly.
