Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!

Chapter 5: Desecrating the Corpse!

From the current perspective, this is a case stemming from long-standing conflicts.

The police do not know what the conflict is.

But... we can guess!
"Regardless of the conflict, whether it's a crime of passion or murder."

In a daze, Xu Liang suddenly spoke:

"Perpetrators often reveal their calm emotions through their post-murder behavior!"

for example.

Nine out of ten murderers who commit crimes out of spite or in anger are filled with remorse and grief.

This behavior often proves that the conflict between the two parties is merely a trivial matter.

"Where's the murderer?"

As Xu Liang sipped his tea, he raised an eyebrow and looked at Chen Changchun in front of him.

"What did the killer do after committing the murder?"

While talking.

He stretched out his hand and pointed to a spot not far outside the law firm.

Chen Changchun looked outwards.

Liu Jin, dressed in a police uniform, was standing there, smoking a cigarette and staring down at the ground.

This ground, a few hours ago.
There was a bloody, mangled corpse that had been crawling on the ground for a long time, resembling a snail!

According to previous clues, the victim only had abdominal wounds before he died.

When the police saw the body, they found that it had been subjected to inhumane torture!

so.
Something flashed through Chen Changchun's mind, and he blurted out:
"Whip the corpse."

Yes, only by desecrating a corpse can this scene be achieved.

The meaning behind whipping a corpse.
"It's hatred!"

"It implies that there is an irreconcilable conflict between the two parties, which leads to the fact that even though the murderer killed by mistake, he was not afraid and even came to desecrate the corpse to vent his anger!"

Chen Changchun pondered for a moment, then murmured something to himself.

"That's right. Instead of regretting his actions after the accidental killing, the murderer vented his anger on the other hand."

"The murderer hated the dead so much that even after the victim was dead, he would still whip their corpse to vent his anger!"

“Remember this!”

"Then, we raised another question."

Xu Liang suddenly spoke.

Another question?
what is the problem?
Chen Changchun was stunned, while Wang Chao, standing to the side, seemed to be deep in thought, nodding occasionally with a stern face.

What constitutes the structure of a person's emotions? Specifically, why does the murderer hate the victim?

Xu Liang spoke again.

Without giving the other person time to think, he took out a pen and paper in front of them and wrote a line on a blank sheet of paper.

"When a person is in good health, their emotions are often in line with their environment."

for example.

When you see a stranger on the street, do you ever have the urge to kill him?
Ninety-five percent of people wouldn't.

But what if this stranger suddenly insults you and then beats your pregnant wife?
Thus, anger arises in people!
"Looking at the structure of emotions in this way, it is usually [other + behavior = another person's emotion]."

"By being involved in the case, one becomes the deceased Chen Wei, and does certain things that create conflict, leading the murderer to harbor immense hatred towards him!"

"Now, remember this logic, and let's think about the question we asked earlier: why would the murderer hate the victim for doing certain things?"

Xu Liang spoke and wrote the words down on a piece of paper.

Chen Changchun frowned and followed his train of thought.

Think for a long time.

Chen Changchun replied confidently:
"Because in the long-term conflict between the two parties, the murderer was on the side of the victim!"

victim?
How did you figure that out?
Wang Chao was getting impatient. He put on a stern face, thought it over and over, and used his clear eyes to subtly probe.

"To be more precise, we haven't yet explained why we believe they are victims!"

Chen Changchun glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Let this little brat pretend if he wants.

Xu Liang patiently began to explain:

"It can still be seen from their emotions."

“In a conflict, the perpetrator is often a beneficiary of the existing system.”

"Even if one is unaware of it, the logic of the subconscious knows that one has not suffered much loss, so even if there are emotions, they are mostly anger, far less than hatred."

“The victim is fully aware of how serious the infringement on their own interests is, and their emotions will naturally be more intense than those of the other party.”

As he spoke, Xu Liang abruptly changed the subject.

Have you checked the CCTV footage of the deceased escaping the alley?

Wang Chao nodded.

They had all seen it. Shortly before the victim's murder, she seemed to see someone familiar at the alley entrance, walked towards them, was then murdered, and fled the alley, dying somewhere out of the surveillance camera's view. "Was the victim in a highly emotional state at the time?"

Xu Liang countered with a question.

"It's not serious," Wang Chao shook his head.

"Where is the murderer?" Xu Liang asked again.

Wang Chao glanced at the spot not far away where the deceased had been whipped.

"It's quite serious," he answered honestly.

"See, the problem is solved now, isn't it?"

Xu Liang smiled.

As a top lawyer at his firm, he adheres to the principle that the customer is always right, even if the other party is a fool!

Unless the other person is mentally ill.

Put away your thoughts.

Xu Liang continued, following up on what had been said before:
"Therefore, the reason why the murderer hated the victim is because he was the victim in the conflict between the two parties!"

"The deceased is the beneficiary; that is, he gains some benefit from causing conflict with the murderer, and it is this benefit that drives him to harm others!"

"That is, what is commonly known as motivation."

You would feel emotional if a strange man assaulted your pregnant wife.

However, even a child with Down syndrome would not beat another person for no reason!
There must be a reason for everything a person does!

You drink water because you're thirsty, eat because you're hungry, and sleep because you're tired.

The same applies to the murderer; his justification is his long-standing conflict with the victim.

The victim's actions also benefit the murderer!
But what is the reason?
There are only two reasons why one person would intentionally harm another.

"First, emotions; second, interests!"

Xu Liang stated frankly that he had no intention of giving a long speech.

The meaning is easy to understand.

These are represented by two cases.

The concept of "emotion" can be explored through the lens of school bullying cases. Do bullies have no reason to bully others? No, they do have reasons—the so-called "emotions"!
The other party derives emotional pleasure from crushing the dignity of others!
This is the motive, and also the reason for bullying!

Another common form of online regional discrimination is the use of derogatory terms like "country bumpkin" to elevate one's own status and seek the gratifying feeling of being superior.

As for the second one, 'interests' are easier to explain.

Such acts as bank robbery or murder for money are driven by self-interest.

Of course, a motivation may also have both reasons at the same time.

And integrate all the clues
Chen Changchun suddenly realized that the previously elusive case now had a vague framework!

However, Wang Chao interrupted his thoughts.

"I see!"

"I totally understand. If you had just said it was murder for money, why go through all that trouble!"

Wang Chao's eyes lit up, and he spoke excitedly.

After babbling on and on, I finally understood one sentence!
Chen Changchun felt a little embarrassed, and he said again in a low, awkward voice:

"Don't worry about him, he's stupid."

"understand."

Xu Liang nodded.

"Nonsense, I'm very smart!"

Wang Chao was furious, believing he possessed a super brain and super muscles.

It's just that his super brain usually tells him that using his super muscles is better, so he doesn't show off his abilities usually!
Chen Changchun felt even more ashamed.

He glared at Wang Chao before getting back to the main topic.

"But it's still not easy to investigate."

Chen Changchun hesitated.

He understood what the other party meant.

It's simply a matter of investigating the identity of the murderer by looking at the two aspects of the deceased, or the events themselves that led to the conflict back then.

However, the difficulty was extremely high, and no information could be found in a short period of time.

"No, it's easy to check."

Xu Liang glanced at the time and realized it wasn't time yet, so he continued to explain.

"Based on the reasoning just now, what is the nature of this case?"

"A crime of passion resulting from a prolonged build-up of emotions!"

Wang Chao, who was standing to the side, answered first.

“Yes, a prolonged increase in emotions!” Xu Liang nodded.

The gradual increase in emotions over a prolonged period is a complex phenomenon.

but.
Where is the explanation?!
