Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 470 Going Home
Everything that needs to be confirmed has been confirmed, but there is still one question left in the whole case: why did Ma Lichuan help Yu Zhanlin?

The order of decision should be as follows:
On-site investigation.

Ma Lichuan concealed the marks on the chest of the deceased Yan Lina.

Interrogation of suspect.

Yu Zhanlin lied out of selfishness and concealed the fact that the posture was difficult.

Autopsy report.

Yan Lina's autopsy report matched Yu Zhanlin's confession, and there was no contradiction that the two were in a relationship. Sun Shuxiang therefore concluded that the case was an accident and submitted it to the procuratorate for review. Subsequent matters had nothing to do with the Criminal Investigation Brigade.

Trial.

The Yu family hired a highly skilled lawyer who won the case in a dispute over whether to sentence or not, and successfully got Yu Zhanlin acquitted.

So, before the autopsy report came out, who influenced Ma Lichuan?

Yu Po?
It seems that we can't get any information from Yu Zhanlin.

Afterwards, Chen Yi asked again about the matter of forcing people to drink and preparing sadomasochistic tools in advance.

Although Yu Zhanlin's mentality has collapsed, his rationality is still there. Since there is no evidence and it is impossible to verify this kind of thing, he will of course answer in a direction that is beneficial to himself.

No alcohol was forced to drink, and Yan Lina verbally agreed to use the tools.

Chen Yi did not ask again and again. Logically speaking, Yu Zhanlin had planned it, and as long as he didn't say anything, there would never be an answer.

Does it affect the final sentencing? Yes, but not to a great extent.

The clues and confessions currently available are sufficient to convict Zhanlin of manslaughter. The procuratorate will bring charges to court again based on the new evidence.

After interrogating Yu Zhanlin, Chen Yi went to see Ma Lichuan without stopping.

Ma Lichuan is much more difficult to judge than Yu Zhanlin. This is already a "coach's downfall" and his psychological quality is very stable.

"He is talking nonsense. There is absolutely no purple-red color on the deceased's chest." Ma Lichuan denied Qin Lang's words.

Chen Yi knew that he would face a protracted battle, so he was not in a hurry and prepared to have a good talk with Ma Lichuan.

Unexpectedly, just as the conversation was about to begin, there was a knock on the door.

Sun Shuxiang walked in, leaned close to Chen Yi and whispered something. It was obvious that Chen Yi looked surprised.

Yu Po chose to confess voluntarily without anyone looking for him. At this moment, he was "discussing life" with Director Peng of the Municipal Bureau. The inspectors could take him and Ma Lichuan away at any time.

"Captain Chen, Director Peng requests that Taicheng handle it himself." Sun Shuxiang said finally.

Chen Yi understood that what it meant was not to hold the trial here, to save their face, and that they had their own place to go.

"Okay, never mind." Chen Yi stood up and left the room with Sun Shuxiang.

Ma Lichuan was very smart. He had guessed what was going on from the looks in Sun Shuxiang and Chen Yi's eyes. After a bitter smile, he sighed deeply.

In fact, Yan Lina's case was over. No one would have thought that Chen Yi would suddenly come to Taicheng with a research team, find key information within one day, and get a new confession from Zhan Lin.

Yu Po sees things more clearly than him. There is no such thing as suspension without reason. The investigation after suspension rarely results in a clean bill of health. It all depends on fate.

As long as there are signs, it is difficult to avoid it. It is better to speak out and fight for it than to rely on fate.

Very decisive.

He felt a little regretful. If he had known this would happen, he would have told the truth. But it was too late now.

Chen Yi was waiting in the lounge. Director Peng would definitely come to see him after asking questions.

This is the plot of who will give up first, the boss or the younger brother. Generally speaking, the breakthrough lies with the younger brother, and the boss will be interrogated after getting the younger brother's confession.

Unexpectedly, the boss chose to surrender himself at an extremely fast speed. It was probably a decision he made after careful consideration.

very smart.

It is impossible to hide because of the time issue. Those who confess voluntarily will be punished less severely. After all, no serious consequences have been caused. Yan Lina's death was indeed an accident, but the accident was caused by Zhan Lin.

This is similar to being fully responsible for a car accident that results in death. If you don't pay the full compensation, you will go to jail, and if you do pay, you will also face probation.

In a homicide case, motive is extremely important. There are huge consequences. The highest penalty is death sentence, and the lowest penalty is not even jail time. This is why lawyers like to use motive as a point of defense when defending their clients.

The gain of the research team's visit to Taicheng is already clear. It is not to bring the vicious criminals to justice, but to maintain the absolute justice of the law.

Yu Zhanlin did not commit intentional homicide, and he definitely did not intend to kill Yan Lina. As I said, he was just unlucky and happened to cause Yan Lina to suffer from positional asphyxiation.

If Yan Lina died of illness, Yu Zhanlin would only have to bear civil compensation. Unfortunately, he directly caused Yan Lina's death, which was a negligent act and he should face criminal responsibility.

Who can I ask to explain this?

There's nothing you can do about it. It's his own fault. He's so good at playing that he has to do those perverted tricks. Sooner or later, he's asking for trouble.

The Yu family arrived, but unfortunately they didn't see the person they wanted to see. After learning that Yu Po was under investigation, Yu Haide immediately realized that something big had happened.

He originally wanted to save his grandson, but in the end, not only did he fail to save his grandson, but he also lost his son. It was really a case of losing both the wife and the army.

Chen Yi waited for almost an hour before the door opened.

Director Peng walked in with helplessness and residual anger on his face. Without Chen Yi asking, he took the initiative to tell him about Yu Po's incident.

The director of the municipal bureau had a strong ability to summarize and his language was concise, so Chen Yi understood the process without even having to ask further questions.

First of all, it was about time. The interrogation of Zhan Lin and the autopsy of Yan Lina were not conducted simultaneously. The interrogation was simple and only took place at the police station. It ended quickly, and the full autopsy had not yet begun at that time.

During this gap, Yu Po and Ma Lichuan had a brief exchange, so the subsequent autopsy video was missing ten minutes.

These ten minutes were crucial. The real cause of Yan Lina's death was concealed, which perfectly matched Yu Zhanlin's confession. Manslaughter became an accident, and the defendant only needed to pay some money without having to bear criminal responsibility.

Yu Po was also very conflicted at the time and faced a difficult choice. His father's pleading made him not know what to do. In addition, the second son of the Yu family had helped him with his studies, so he finally took this step.

It can be considered as repaying a favor, but he shouldn't sacrifice the interests of others.

As for the relationship between Ma Lichuan and Yu Po, it is very simple. Yu Po once helped Ma Lichuan with work matters, and even gave him a push from behind in terms of position.

There is suspicion of gangsterism.

Ma Lichuan knew Yu Zhanlin and had met him before.

Because of this, after Ma Lichuan discovered that Yu Zhanlin was involved in the case, his first reaction was to cover it up first, which was equivalent to what Po said.

If necessary, then help. If not, then perform a normal autopsy.

That’s the whole story.

When people are unlucky, they will really bring trouble to others. Yu Zhanlin accidentally caused the death of Yan Lina. He thought that everything would be fine after he was acquitted, but he didn't expect that Yu Po would also be implicated in the end.

"Excuse me, Captain Chen. It was my negligence." Director Peng said sincerely.

Chen Yi: "Director Peng's words are serious. If there is a problem, just solve it. Fortunately, no irreversible consequences have been caused."

This case is just a retrial and a re-sentencing, which does not have any particularly significant impact on the victim's family. It is not too late to make amends.

Chen Yi will not ask about the follow-up matters, as Director Peng will be responsible for handling them.

After Ma Lichuan left, the Tieping Branch suffered a great loss, and this problem must be taken seriously. "It's hard for a newly-promoted forensic doctor to take on the responsibility, so we should find a way to recruit a few more, or transfer them from other places," Chen Yi said.

Director Peng nodded: "Of course. The Tieping Branch is responsible for a large area, and there are always many cases. After the matter is over, we will discuss it and see how to solve it."

The two chatted briefly, and Chen Yi declined the invitation to drink and said he would leave Taicheng immediately.

Before leaving, Chen Yi went to see Director Li and talked to him about Qin Lang.

Qin Lang has flaws, but he can be considered a talent. He can be given more opportunities to train and will become the backbone of the Tieping Branch in assisting in handling cases in the future.

Some details don't need to be explained too clearly.

As young people, there is still a lot of room for growth.

What's more, if he hadn't taken the initiative to help Liu Ping, the series of events that followed wouldn't have happened, and at least he would be safe.

Director Li understood what Chen Yi meant. He was pleading for Qin Lang.

This guy hid important information of the case and didn't tell the truth even when the research team came. In Director Li's eyes, he is really irresponsible. He may not be able to avoid punishment, so why give him more chances?

Considering that the other party still has a sense of justice in his heart, has made efforts to this end and has achieved good results, and his professional level is strong, and now Chen Yi is pleading for him, Director Li has to give him face and simply put the past behind him.

There is no need for punishment. If you perform well in the future, the possibility of being reused and promoted is not ruled out.

"Thank you very much, Director Li."

"What are you thanking me for, Captain Chen? You are also cherishing talents for our branch. How can I not appreciate your kindness? I won't say anything else. Have a good trip! Let's have a drink together next time we meet!"

Chen Yi smiled and said, "Definitely."

Before the Yan family knew what was happening, the research team had already left Taicheng.

It is the police's duty to find out the truth. There is no need to deliberately meet with the victims' families and accept their respect.

Have a clear conscience and do not ask for anything in return. Chen Yi encouraged Zhuge Cong and others with these eight words on the road.

Qin Lang stood alone at the gate of the Municipal Bureau, staring at the direction where the research team's vehicle left for a long time without saying a word. He was somewhat panicked inside. He did not expect Chen Yi to leave so quickly. He felt like he had lost his backbone.

When all the truth was revealed, Chen Yi didn't even wait for the results, nor did he see the people involved. He just left, leaving behind a pile of...mess.

The mess was for him, after all, he was one of the most critical figures in this case.

Without Chen Yi, he would have to face the leaders' questioning alone.

Upstairs, Director Li stood in front of the office window looking at the young figure below. After thinking for a moment, he went downstairs and came to Qin Lang.

"cough!"

The light cough caught Qin Lang's attention. He turned around subconsciously and stood at attention: "Director Li!"

Director Li said sullenly, "What are you doing here?!"

Qin Lang didn't dare to lie: "I... I'll see Captain Chen off."

Director Li: "What can I send if the person is gone?"

Qin Lang lowered his head.

Director Li: "Why, do you admire people like Chen Yi?"

Qin Lang hummed.

Director Li advised: "Then try to get close to him, become him, and surpass him."

Qin Lang complained in his heart, how could I have such ability.

Director Li then talked about the autopsy, and Qin Lang's face fell.

"I was going to punish you, but Captain Chen came to me to plead for mercy, so I had to give him face. Forget about the punishment. Just work hard in the bureau in the future, okay?"

Qin Lang was stunned. He didn't know about this matter and asked Liu Ping to stop the car and file a complaint. In fact, he was already prepared to face the consequences. He knew very well that he would also be affected after the case was investigated.

"Okay, you can send more times if you want. But don't take too long. The Municipal Bureau is still waiting."

Director Li left.

Qin Lang stood here alone, silently looking at the road the research team left, and felt that his life suddenly had a clear direction.

……

This case made Zhuge Cong and others feel deeply that the boundary between accident and negligence is really very, very small and difficult to say clearly. This is the significance of legal debate.

Just like self-defense, adding the word "excessive" sometimes makes the law lose its fairness in the eyes of the public.

In ancient times, a case was solved by one person, but now many people brainstorm and work together to seek the most reasonable answer, which is the progress of civilization.

The law is never rigid and must be dynamic and open to deal with real problems that may arise in the future. Only when the masses consider it fair, then it is fair.

"Yan Lina's hemangioma didn't rupture at all. This Ma Lichuan... is also an outstanding talent."

It was Zhuge Cong who spoke.

Which is harder, finding the truth or changing the truth? Obviously the latter. Changing the truth requires creativity with a high tolerance for error. Ma Lichuan did it very successfully, which resulted in Sun Shuxiang not finding any problems during the investigation.

Fu Guoyong sat in the back and said in a dull voice: "There are more talented people in prison, especially in the past ten years. Look at how sophisticated the criminal methods have become. You can't do it without some education."

Zhuge Cong agreed: "That's right, they are two different things."

While chatting, the vehicle quickly got on the highway and drove towards Yangcheng.

This time he was really going back, and nothing unexpected happened on the way. When Chen Yi stood downstairs of his house, it was exactly seven o'clock in the evening.

In autumn, it is already dark and the temperature is a bit cool.

The lights in the house were on and Fang Shuyu had already gone home.

Go upstairs, unlock the door, and then there are hurried and surprised footsteps.

They were the only two people who could open the lock.

"Come back!"

Chen Yi opened his arms towards Fang Shuyu.

"Are you hungry?" After a long time, Fang Shuyu left Chen Yi's chest. The sound of cooking came from the kitchen. The two had contacted each other on the way, and Chen Yi said he would come back for dinner.

Chen Yi nodded: "I'm a little hungry."

Fang Shuyu immediately went to cook: "Just sit there and take a rest. It will be quick."

At the dining table, the two of them were enjoying a warm dinner with their bowls in hand. Fang Shuyu was very happy, with a smile on her face that never stopped. She kept asking about the strange things that she had encountered during the investigation.

You ask, I tell, I speak, you listen, simple and unpretentious family life, a sense of happiness fills the whole room.

Chen Yi felt truly relaxed when he returned home. He is just an ordinary person, and nothing is more important than the well-being of his family.

Only ordinary people can do the work of a police officer.
