Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 84 - 80: Still Trying to Bluff? Prosecution!
Zheng Mei was apprehended.
But she is not prepared to confess!
She knows that once she confesses, she will be doomed...
Killing her own child, trafficking others, and the countless pieces of evidence of crimes over the decades...
Will become a river, drowning her to death!
But...the law is never something that can be evaded by ’refusing to admit’!
The Temple Mountain police in Spring City sent all clues to the Hongfu District Criminal Investigation Team.
And after comparison...
October 27th.
"Although the two children had been dead for 22 years with only bones remaining, DNA testing can still be done."
"The police legally obtained DNA samples from the two bodies, from Zhou Xu murdered by Sun Quan, and from those detained by the Zhou Family for comparison with Zheng Mei."
"The final result is..."
a.m.
Chen Changchun called Xu Liang to the police station, accompanied by Yang Ruoxi.
He looked exhausted and spoke to Xu Liang:
"22 years ago, the child that Zheng Mei killed with her own hands...was indeed her own."
Upon hearing this.
Yang Ruoxi’s pupils slightly contracted.
It turns out Zheng Mei really killed her own flesh and blood!
This can no longer be described as inhumane...it’s simply inexcusable!
No wonder Li Cui says Zheng Mei is a madwoman; anyone else would be scared out of their wits...
As for the police coming to Xu Liang...
"Now, the case has reached a difficult point."
Chen Changchun took a deep breath and handed the evidence provided by Li Cui to Xu Liang.
Xu Liang looked down.
The evidence on it is nothing more than proof that Zheng Mei killed her two sons 22 years ago.
With Li Cui’s cooperation, the police found a lot of evidence, enough to convict Zheng Mei!
years ago, with only bones remaining, what can be found?
A lot can be found!
First, the cause of death is determined. Based on damage marks on the neck bones and other skeletal remains, it is sufficient to determine that the deceased was strangled to death.
Then, observing the crime scene, remnants left by Zheng Mei and others in relation to the children, as well as items with personal information...
Are enough to prove that the children were indeed killed by Zheng Mei!
Even if Zheng Mei vehemently denies it, she absolutely cannot fill all the loopholes and present a perfect logical answer!
However, the biggest problem is...
"After ’82, where did the criminal evidence up to ’04 go?"
Xu Liang reviewed a lot of evidence files, finally narrowing his eyes.
"You mean...the statute of limitations has expired for the other party?"
Yang Ruoxi paused slightly, quickly understanding.
The statute of limitations for a case is within 20 years, and the children’s death was in ’82, now already 22 years ago, well beyond the limitation...
Of course, the statute of limitations is not fixed.
Just...
"No, Zheng Mei must have committed other crimes between ’82 and now!"
Yang Ruoxi furrowed her brow, sensing the issue.
"Take the case of Sun Qian being trafficked 13 years ago."
"Li Cui selling Sun Qian to Zheng Mei would be enough to set the statute of limitations starting from 13 years ago, leaving at least seven years remaining now!"
It can be understood as.
The statute of limitations for a person should be calculated from the last crime committed.
If the last time hasn’t exceeded it, prosecution can be pursued, handling both crimes concurrently.
Sun Qian was trafficked 13 years ago, it cannot exceed the statute of limitations!
"The problem lies in the lack of evidence."
Chen Changchun said heavily:
"After ’82, Li Cui parted ways with Zheng Mei, so she has no idea what Zheng Mei did afterwards."
"She was only involved in the trafficking of Sun Qian 13 years ago."
"But Li Cui cannot prove that Sun Qian was sold by Zheng Mei!"
"If Sun Qian could come forward to provide a logical testimony, then it could naturally be investigated and convicted, but Sun Qian’s mental state..."
With these words.
Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi fell silent.
The court requires evidence.
Even if Zheng Mei’s suspicion is overwhelming, without concrete evidence, all they can do is adjourn, adjourn, and adjourn again.
Of course, there’s still a way.
"What about prosecution?"
Yang Ruoxi thought for a moment and asked, puzzled.
"In Zheng Mei’s case, the Supreme Prosecution Office would generally approve the prosecution, right?"
Chen Changchun nodded.
"Yes, there’s a high chance it will be approved, but it’s not a hundred percent."
"Moreover...the time might be slower."
Upon hearing this, Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi fell into contemplation.
"Currently, the announcement declaring her a trafficker has been issued, and the police are now investigating Zheng Mei’s trafficking evidence post-’84."
Chen Changchun took a deep breath, arranged the files handed over and placed them back on the table.
He spoke in a deep voice:
"Zheng Mei, on her end...she said she wants to see you, this..."
"Okay."
Xu Liang nodded.
Chen Changchun stood up, then led Xu Liang outside.
Zheng Mei is detained in the police station.
She was interrogated multiple times, but like the Zhou Family, her mouth is tight, making it difficult to extract useful information, yet she is determined to see Xu Liang!
When they reached the interrogation room door.
"Squeak~"
Chen Changchun pushed the door open, and immediately, the room’s environment came into view.
Interrogation room, at this moment sits the haggard-faced Zheng Mei, her dull eyes instantly shrink into pin points upon seeing Xu Liang.
"Bang!"
She slams her hands on the table, muscles tensed all over.
"Ha, we meet again, Ms. Zheng."
Xu Liang shows a smile on his face and casually sits down on a chair.
"You... it’s you!" Zheng Mei stares fixedly at Xu Liang, with eyes that seem eager to devour him.
Without waiting for her to say anything, Xu Liang furrows his brow, and speaks first:
"This... Ms. Zheng, why have the police detained you? Could someone be framing you?"
Upon hearing this.
Yang Ruoxi beside him is shocked, looking at him incredulously.
Yet, Xu Liang continues:
"Ms. Zheng, the police say you are involved in trafficking and intentional murder..."
"If you’re willing, you can tell me the details."
Once the words are finished.
Xu Liang looks sincerely at Zheng Mei, "I’ll think of a way to reduce your sentence!!!"
As soon as those words fell.
Zheng Mei suddenly bursts into rage, "Get out!!!"
At this moment, her eyes almost burst, she laughs at herself for having believed this litigator back then.
Upon hearing, Xu Liang takes a deep breath and speaks solemnly.
"Ms. Zheng, trust me."
"I have professional ethics!"
"Regarding your entry into the police station... it’s not related to me. If you trust me, I will definitely think of a way to reduce your sentence!"
Zheng Mei shouts angrily, "Go to hell!"
"Get out of here!"
Seeing this.
Xu Liang can only sigh, stands up, and walks out.
Before leaving, he seems to suddenly remember something, takes out a business card from his chest, hands it to Zheng Mei, then leaves with a smile.
"Ms. Zheng, here’s my business card, in case there’s an opportunity..."
Before he finishes speaking.
He sees Zheng Mei madly tears the business card into pieces and throws them at him.
Xu Liang quickly closes the door, but the pieces don’t fly far, they just drift lightly to the ground.
"Screech~"
After the door closes.
Chen Changchun looks helplessly at Xu Liang.
He originally thought that when the two met, maybe Zheng Mei would say something beneficial to the case, but who would have thought, it was as if meeting an enemy...
"Captain Chen, you saw it too, it’s not that I’m not cooperating."
Xu Liang smiled.
Zheng Mei seeing him, was just to see if he was the one who reported.
After speaking, Chen Changchun had no choice, he could only take a deep breath, shake his head, and say:
"I’ll find a way myself."
Upon hearing, Xu Liang smiled and suddenly said: "Captain Chen... would you like me to help you? It’s free."
"Perhaps the prosecution office can approve quickly, or maybe many people will provide evidence to you!"
Many people providing evidence?
Chen Changchun became interested, "How do you mean?"
"You don’t need to worry about that, anyway, definitely someone will contact the police station."
Xu Liang said meaningfully.
Then, he quickly left the criminal police brigade entrance with Yang Ruoxi.
Watching them leave, Chen Changchun scratched his head, unsure what the other party was up to.
"Forget it, it’s out of my hands."
What influences whether the prosecution office through a complaint case, typically is the case itself, and the influence of the case.
The influence of the case can be seen as the impact it makes on society.
Information about human traffickers, are basically provided by members of society, Chen Changchun didn’t publish what Zheng Mei did, no one paid attention, so, naturally few provided information.
What Xu Liang said was the method...
...
Meanwhile.
Outside the criminal police brigade.
The two reporters squatting for a week are dizzy from squatting, just about to give up when suddenly a hand pats Zhang Tao’s shoulder from behind.
"Who is it!?"
Zhang Tao’s pupils shrink, startled.
Instinctively turns around to look, but sees the smiling Xu Liang.
"You’ve been squatting on me for about a week now, huh?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Tao’s face immediately flushes red.
Indeed they squatted for a while, initially seeing Xu Liang going in and out of the police station, sensing there might be big news.
But after several days squatting, they found nothing, and now caught face to face...
"Ahem, all misunderstandings."
Zhang Tao looked embarrassed, said he was about to turn around, "We’re leaving now!"
He was just about to slip away quietly, unexpectedly Xu Liang put his arm around his shoulder.
Zhang Tao froze, looked again and still saw Xu Liang’s smiling expression.
Only to hear him say:
"Brother, I have a very artistic piece of news, interested in hearing?"
This case of Zheng Mei, once leaked...
Xu Liang dares to guarantee.
The public opinion stirred by the society, the Supreme Prosecution Office would definitely immediately establish a task force!!!
Zhang Tao was stunned, immediately turned around smiling flatteringly:
"Lawyer Xu... how high is it?!"
Xu Liang said:
"As high as three or four stories!"
"Come, let me tell you..."
