Chapter Eighty-Three: The Case of Reversal Again
In the interrogation room, He Jiahui hadn't started to ask yet, but he saw Cai Mulin's eyes flickering, and he didn't dare to look at He Jiahui at all.
Obviously, this is a sign of extreme weakness.
The previous director Xue Chaohui, although he was also very weak-minded, only deliberately spoke loudly to give himself courage. And the cameraman Cai Mulin is obviously more weak than Xue Chaohui.
This may be because Cai Mulin's psychological quality is far inferior to Xue Chaohui, or maybe Cai Mulin is much more guilty than Xue Chaohui.
He Jiahui stared at Cai Mulin with his eyes and asked sharply, "Mr. Cai, why did you run away?" ”
"Who said I ran away? I'm leaving openly! I'm here to shoot an advertisement, and now that the heroine is dead and the director has been arrested by you, the advertisement will definitely not be filmed, and there is no point in me staying, so it's better to go home early and get a new job. ”
When Cai Mulin answered, a little bead of sweat was already on his forehead, and he was still surrounded by nervousness at this time.
"Mr. Cai, if you didn't run away, why didn't you check out with the owner of the homestay? Don't want the deposit at the homestay? Don't want the undue payment? He Jiahui sneered and directly exposed Cai Mulin's lies.
Cai Mulin was suddenly speechless when asked.
He Jiahui didn't give Cai Mulin a chance to think, he then asked; "Mr. Cai, where are you from two o'clock in the morning to four o'clock in the morning yesterday?"
"The last time I came to record a confession, did I say it! That night I was shooting the night scene until dawn. The time the photo was taken proves that my camera is still with you! Cai Mulin said.
"Those pictures were taken automatically by the camera, right? Set a time and take a picture in a minute. So the creation time of each photo is surprisingly consistent. ”
He Jiahui snorted coldly and continued; "And we've found electric slides and 360-degree swivel mounts in your luggage, which you can shoot from multiple angles even when you're not on site.
We've restored the photos you deleted, and the time the photos were taken proves that you used the time-lapse feature, and the continuity of the photos shows that you used the electric slide rails and the swivel bracket. ”
Knowing that the police had mastered this information, Cai Mulin did not quibble, but lowered his head, did not speak, and responded with silence.
Faced with the suspect who remained silent, Ho Jiahui had a way to get him to speak.
I only heard He Jiahui say slowly; "In the early hours of yesterday morning, you took your camera equipment to the northeast coast, which is far away from the B&B, set up your camera on a motorized slide, and set up automatic shooting at one-minute intervals.
Then you return to the B&B, kill Zheng Jiazhen, and dispose of the traces of the scene, and then return to the northeast coast, deleting some unsatisfactory photos, and the rest of the photos are used by you to create an alibi!
In your computer, we found a large-scale photo of the deceased Zheng Jiazhen, which you tricked him into taking many years ago, right? And I also investigated, a few days before the deceased was killed, you had a fierce quarrel with the deceased, this is your motive for killing, right? ”
He Jiahui directly buttoned the murderous hat on Cai Mulin, he really couldn't keep silent, he just heard him immediately argue: "I quarreled with Zheng Jiazhen, but it was just a bickering, I didn't kill him!" ”
"The perpetrator was an acquaintance of the deceased, and when the deceased was killed, everyone else had an alibi, but you deliberately forged an alibi, and you planned to run away afterwards, all suspicions point to you, you say that you are not the murderer, will anyone believe it?" He Jiahui snorted coldly.
Cai Mulin continued to defend: "Sir, you also said that these are all suspicious points, and your police have to talk about evidence when handling cases." Even if it goes to court, the interests of the doubt will go to the defendant! ”
"Who says we don't have evidence? We found a bundle of rope in your suitcase, exactly the same rope that tied and hanged Zheng Jiazhen. Isn't the murder weapon found in your suitcase proof that it's not proof? ”
He Jiahui slowed down his speech, and said seriously: "The chain of evidence that our police have is already very complete, even if the barrister comes and sees this evidence, he will persuade you to admit your guilt, so you should admit your crime as soon as possible!" ”
However, Cai Mulin showed a surprised expression: "The rope that hanged Zheng Jiazhen is the same as my rope?" How is this possible! My rope is for hoisting Wia. ”
"If you can hang Weiya, of course you can hang people." He Jiahui said, took out three photos from the file bag next to him, pushed them in front of Cai Mulin, and continued:
"This one is a photo of Zheng Jiazhen's rope hanging, the second is a photo of Zheng Jiazhen's hands tied, and the last one is a photo of Zheng Jiazhen's feet being tied. See for yourself if it's the same rope in your suitcase! ”
Cai Mulin took a closer look at the photo and found that the style and color were indeed the same as his own rope.
"Why is this happening?" Cai Mulin suddenly sat at the scene.
Ho continued; "Cai Mulin, someone can prove that you took a large-scale photo of the deceased to threaten the deceased, and had a verbal conflict with the deceased, and we also found the rope to hang the deceased from you. Now that the human and material evidence is there, do you still plan to carry it to the end? ”
"I really didn't kill people!" Cai Mulin still refused to admit it, he continued: "When Zheng Jiazhen was a part-time model, I took large-scale photos of him and her, but I didn't force her at that time, she herself was also voluntary!"
It's true that I didn't delete the negatives afterwards, but those photos are all my work, and as a photographer, is there a problem with me keeping my work? What's more, I didn't copy the photos to others. “
"But you showed it to other people." He Jiahui looked at Cai Mulin with disdain.
"Showing your favorite works to others is the art of sharing! Art should be appreciated by more people! Cai Mulin then quibbled.
"You take a large-scale photograph of the deceased and threaten the deceased to have a relationship with you, this is also art?" He Jiahui continued to mock.
"But she threatened me at the time!" Cai Mulin continued to use strong words.
"The picture is in your hands, what can she threaten you?" He Jiahui asked.
Cai Mulin let out a long sigh and replied; "I took a photo of a little sister, and it was also a very large-scale kind. Who knew that the little sister was married to a mixed club, and recently the mixed club became a club boss, and the little sister became a community sister-in-law.
Zheng Jiazhen had seen the photo I took of my little sister, so when I looked for her with her large-scale photos, she directly threatened me, saying that if I didn't hand over all the negatives, she would tell the club boss about me taking a photo of my little sister, and let the club boss cut off my hand. ”
He Jiahui smiled coldly: "Hehe, I think you don't just take photos of others, right?" You must have done other indescribable things to her. You're a green hat for the club boss, otherwise why would you worry about the club boss getting you in trouble! ”
Cai Mulin didn't answer, which was a tacit acquiescence.
He Jiahui continued: "Are you worried that Zheng Jiazhen will go to the club boss to complain, so you will kill her and kill her?" ”
"Nope!" Cai Mulin still denied it: "I said to Zheng Jiazhen at the time, if you dare to go to the club boss, I will post all your large-scale photos on the Internet, and we will die together."
Then we compromised with each other, I stopped talking about the large-scale photos, and she wouldn't go to the club boss to complain. We each held each other's handles, and in the future, we went to the sky, each went to one side, and everyone was safe. This matter has been settled, I don't need to kill again! ”
He Jiahui pursed his lips with some disdain: "The story is very exciting, but this is all your side of the story." When you get to court, do you think the judge will believe your story, or will he believe the human and physical evidence? ”
"I have an alibi!" Cai Mulin immediately argued.
"Are you talking about an alibi, a photo taken automatically every minute?" He Jiahui scoffed.
"No, I have a witness!" Cai Mulin let out a long sigh.
He knew that in this situation, he had to confess, otherwise he would really be charged with murder.
I only heard Cai Mulin speak: "I admit that that night, I deliberately created an alibi. But my purpose in making an alibi was not to kill someone, but to go on a date.
I know a girl on the island, I took a photo of her before, it was an ordinary photo, not a large-scale one. And this time I came to the island to shoot an advertisement, and I also contacted her.
The filming was completed ahead of schedule, and the director gave us another day off, so I was bored, so I planned to ask the girl out, and it would be better if she could stay with me for one night.
So I lied to the girl and said that I knew a lot of big directors and could help her get the resources to play roles in movies. Then she believed it, and I asked her to come out in the evening to talk in detail.
In order to be able to act in a movie, in the early hours of the morning, she secretly ran out while her family was asleep, and then had a tryst with me. From 2 a.m. to 4 a.m., I was with her all the time. ”
"Scumbag!" He Jiahui cursed in his heart, and then spoke; "People like you should often use this method to trick women into dating you, right?
But this kind of behavior can only be regarded as lying and deceiving people, it is a moral problem, and you are a scumbag, I don't think it will violate your moral bottom line, but why do you still make an alibi? ”
Cai Mulin hesitated for a few seconds, and finally replied: "Because that girl is still two months old to be sixteen." ”
"Beast!" This time, He Jiahui scolded directly.
Cai Mulin didn't care about being scolded as a "beast", he said to himself: "The reason why I ran away was because I was worried that you would find out that I had a tryst with that girl." I didn't want to go to jail, so I planned to get away and find a place to escape. Wait for a while when the wind is calm and come out again. ”
Under section 124 of the Crimes Ordinance, sexual intercourse with a child under the age of 16 is a criminal offence punishable by imprisonment for up to five years.
Even if the child consents to have a relationship, or if the defendant believes that the child has reached the age of 16, this is not a defence and the sentence is still imposed.
This law is similar to Article 236 of the Mainland's Criminal Law, with two main differences: first, Article 236 of the Criminal Law stipulates that the age of 14 is 14, while the Crimes Ordinance stipulates that the age of 16 is required.
The second is that article 236 of the Criminal Law describes "underage girls", while article 124 of the Crimes Ordinance of Hong Kong describes "children", without distinguishing between genders.
After understanding this law, you can understand Cai Mulin's deliberate creation of alibi and his motive for escaping.
Cai Mulin's tryst with the girl is an illegal thing in itself, so he prepared an alibi in advance, in case the incident happened in the east window and was denounced by the girl, he could also take the photo and say that he was shooting the night scene at that time.
In this type of case, it is relatively difficult to present evidence, and with the fact that the interests of the doubts are attributed to the defendant, Cai Mulin can easily get away with the crime.
However, to Cai Mu's surprise, it was also that night that Zheng Jiazhen was killed. When the police interrogated the alibi, Cai Mulin had no choice but to take out those photos as his alibi.
After director Xue Zhaohui was taken away by the police, Cai Mulin began to panic, he was worried that the police would find out the facts of his crime, so he chose to run away in a weak heart.
Director Xue Chaohui confessed to Cai Mulin in order to reduce his sentence, and He Jiahui quickly saw through Cai Mulin's forged alibi, and then arrested Cai Mulin.
Murder carries a penalty of life imprisonment, and the other charge carries up to five years in prison, which may be mitigated with a good lawyer.
So Cai Mulin decisively chose to confess.
……
Cai Mulin confessed the identity of the girl, Du Xiaohe and another policewoman went to the girl to verify the situation, considering that other girls also want to be face-saving, it is more appropriate to send a policewoman.
Approaching the end of work, Du Xiaohe returned to the police station and brought back the news.
"We questioned the girl in detail, and she can prove that Cai Mulin was with her from 2 to 4 o'clock in the morning that day." Du Xiaohe opened his mouth to report.
"Then we can use section 124 of the Crimes Ordinance to prosecute Cai Mulin, and the case can be transferred to the Department of Justice." He Jiahui said.
Du Xiaohe reminded: "But in this case, Cai Mulin has an alibi, and he can't be the murderer of Zheng Jiazhen." ”
Hearing this, everyone in the police station looked like they had lost the battle, and they all looked depressed.
At first, it was found that the alibi of the advertising actor Zhang Shaoyu was fake, and he thought he could solve the case, but after careful investigation, he found that he went on a date with his old lover.
Then he found out that director Xue Chaohui's alibi was fake, and thought that he could solve the case, but after investigation, it was found that Xue Zhaohui went to steal money.
In the end, it was found that the alibi of the cameraman Cai Mulin was fake, and the same rope that hanged the deceased was even found in his suitcase. As a result, only another case was implicated, and Cai Mulin still had an alibi.
After tossing and turning several times, the case is back to the starting point, and everyone has an alibi!
Guan Gong couldn't help but ask, "Jiahui, you have done a murder here, what should I do now?" ”
He Jiahui spread his hands: "So far, we have done everything we can." Next, let's look at the medical and forensic side to give us any clues!
Didn't we find a bundle of rope from Cai Mulin's suitcase? Tomorrow I will take this bundle of rope and go to the forensic center in Kowloon in person, hoping to get clues from them! ”
Tomorrow from Qinghai home, it is still a full day of travel, so tomorrow can only ask for leave, I hope you understand.
