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

Chapter 81 Still trying to fool us? Prosecution is underway!
Zheng Mei has been apprehended.

But she has no intention of pleading guilty!

She knew that if she confessed, she would not escape death.
He killed his own child, trafficked others, and has committed countless crimes over the decades.
It will turn into river water and drown her!

However, the law cannot be escaped simply by 'not recognizing' it!
The Kunming Miaoshan police sent all the leads to the Hongfu District Criminal Investigation Brigade.

However, after comparison...
10 month 27 day.

"Although the two children have been dead for 22 years and only their skeletons remain, DNA testing can still be performed."

"The police lawfully extracted DNA samples from the two bodies, as well as from Zhou Xu, who was killed by Sun Quan, and Zhou Jia, who is being held in police custody, to compare with Zheng Mei."

The final result is

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Chen Changchun summoned Xu Liang to the police station, accompanied by Yang Ruoxi.

He looked exhausted and said to Xu Liang:
"The child that Zheng Mei killed 22 years ago was indeed her own."

Hear the words.

Yang Ruoxi's pupils contracted slightly.

Zheng Mei really did kill her own son!
This can't just be called inhumane, it's downright utterly depraved!
No wonder Li Cui said Zheng Mei was crazy; anyone else who wasn't scared out of their wits would be considered mentally strong.
As for the police coming to find Xu Liang...
"Now, the case has encountered 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 presented here is nothing more than the evidence that Zheng Mei personally murdered her two sons 22 years ago.

With Li Cui's cooperation, the police found a lot of evidence, enough to convict Zheng Mei!
What can be found when only bones remain from 22 years ago?
There was a lot of information found!
The first step is to determine the cause of death. Based on the injury marks on the neck bones and the rest of the bones, it is sufficient to determine that the deceased was indeed strangled to death.

Upon further examination of the crime scene, clothing belonging to the child and items containing personal information left behind by Zheng Mei and others were found.
This is enough to prove that Zheng Mei killed the child!

Even if Zheng Mei vehemently denies it, she simply cannot produce a logically sound answer that can cover up all the flaws!
However, the biggest problem is
"Where did the criminal evidence from 82 to 04 go?"

Xu Liang reviewed a lot of evidence files, and finally narrowed his eyes.

"Are you saying the other party has passed the statute of limitations for criminal prosecution?!"

Yang Ruoxi paused slightly, then instantly understood.

The statute of limitations for criminal prosecution in this case is less than 20 years. The two children died in 82, which is 22 years ago, well past the statute of limitations.
Of course, the statute of limitations is not rigid and unchanging.

just
"No, Zheng Mei must have committed other crimes in the 22 years from 82 to now!"

Yang Ruoxi frowned; she realized what the problem was.

"Take Sun Qian's abduction 13 years ago as an example."

"Li Cui's sale of Sun Qian to Zheng Mei is enough to make the statute of limitations start from 13 years ago, which means there should still be at least seven years left!"

This can be understood as...

The statute of limitations for a person is calculated from the date of their last crime, which is twenty years.

If the last timeframe is also within the specified period, prosecution can proceed, and both offenses can be punished concurrently.

Sun Qian was abducted 13 years ago, so it's impossible that the statute of limitations has expired!
"The problem is that we can't find the evidence."

Chen Changchun spoke in a deep voice:

"After 82, Li Cui and Zheng Mei parted ways, and she had no idea what Zheng Mei did after that."

"She only participated in the case of Sun Qian's abduction 13 years ago."

"But Li Cui cannot prove that Sun Qian was sold by Zheng Mei!"

"If Sun Qian can give a logical statement, then an investigation and conviction can naturally be made, but Sun Qian's mental state is a concern."

As soon as these words came out.

Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi fell silent.

Courts are based on evidence.

Even though Zheng Mei's suspicions are extremely strong, they can only adjourn the court again and again until there is substantial evidence.

Of course, there are ways to overcome this problem.

"What about prosecution?"

Yang Ruoxi thought for a moment, then asked in confusion.

"In Zheng Mei's case, the Supreme People's Procuratorate would usually approve the prosecution."

Chen Changchun nodded.

"Yes, there is a high probability that it will pass, but it is not 100% guaranteed."

"And I reckon it will take a while."

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang and Yang Ruoxi fell into deep thought.

"The announcement that she is a human trafficker has been issued, and the police are currently investigating evidence of Zheng Mei's abduction after 84."

Chen Changchun took a deep breath, tidied up the files he had handed over, and put them back on the table.

He spoke in a deep voice:

"Zheng Mei said she wants to see you, this..."

"Row."

Xu Liang nodded.

Chen Changchun stood up and then led Xu Liang outside.

Zheng Mei was detained at the police station.

The other party was interrogated multiple times, but like the Zhou family, she was very stubborn and it was difficult to get any useful information out of her. Moreover, she was very eager to see Xu Liang!

When everyone arrived at the interrogation room door.

"Squeak~"

Chen Changchun pushed the door open, and in an instant, the interior of the room came into view.

In the interrogation room, Zheng Mei, looking haggard, sat with her dull eyes narrowing to pinpoints the moment she saw Xu Liang.

"boom!"

She slammed her hands on the table, her whole body tense.

"Oh, we meet again, Ms. Zheng."

Xu Liang smiled and casually sat down in the chair.

"You are you!" Zheng Mei stared intently at Xu Liang, her eyes filled with hatred as if she wanted to devour him. Before she could say anything, Xu Liang frowned and spoke first:

"Ms. Zheng, why are you being detained by the police? Could someone be framing you?!"

Hear the words.

Yang Ruoxi, who was standing next to him, was stunned and looked at him in disbelief.

Xu Liang continued speaking:
"Ms. Zheng, the police say you have committed crimes of human trafficking and intentional homicide."

"If you'd like, you can tell me the details."

Finished.

Xu Liang looked at Zheng Mei with a sincere expression, "I'll try my best to get your sentence reduced!!!"

The moment the words fell.

Zheng Mei instantly flew into a rage, yelling, "Get out!!!"

Her eyes were bloodshot with rage, and she laughed at herself for having believed this liar.

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice.

"Ms. Zheng, please believe me."

"I have professional ethics!"

"Your stay at the police station has nothing to do with me. If you believe me, I will definitely find a way to reduce your sentence!"

Zheng Mei roared, "Go to hell!"

"Get out of here!"

See this.

Xu Liang could only sigh as he stood up and walked outside.

Before leaving, he seemed to suddenly remember something, took out a business card from his chest, handed it to Zheng Mei, and then left with a smile.

"Ms. Zheng, this is my business card. If there's an opportunity..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Then he saw Zheng Mei go crazy, tearing her business card into pieces and throwing them at him.

Xu Liang quickly closed the door, and the fragment didn't fly far before gently falling to the ground.

"Squeak~"

After the door closed.

Chen Changchun looked at Xu Liang helplessly.

He had originally thought that Zheng Mei might say something beneficial to the case when they met, but to his surprise, they acted like enemies as soon as they met.
"Captain Chen, you've seen it yourself, it's not that I'm not cooperating."

Xu Liang smiled.

Zheng Mei met with him only to see if he was the one who reported her.

Having said that, Chen Changchun had no other choice. He could only take a deep breath, shake his head, and say:

"I'll figure it out myself."

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang smiled and suddenly said, "Captain Chen, would you like me to help you? It's free."

"Perhaps the prosecutor's office can approve it quickly, or perhaps many people will provide you with evidence!"

Are there many people providing evidence?

Chen Changchun became interested. "How so!?"

"Don't worry about that. In any case, someone will definitely contact the police station."

Xu Liang spoke with a pointed remark.

He then quickly led Yang Ruoxi away from the entrance of the Criminal Investigation Brigade.

Watching the two figures walk away, Chen Changchun scratched his head, wondering what they were up to.

"Forget it, never mind it."

The factors that influence whether the procuratorate approves a case for prosecution are generally the case itself and its impact.

The impact of the case can be seen as its effect on society.

Information about human traffickers is mostly provided by people in society. Since Chen Changchun didn't publicize what Zheng Mei did, no one paid attention, so naturally not many people provided information.

The method Xu Liang mentioned was...
at the same time.

At the entrance of the Criminal Investigation Brigade.

Two reporters, who had been squatting there for a week and were seeing stars, were about to give up when suddenly a hand patted Zhang Tao on the shoulder from behind.

"who!?"

Zhang Tao's pupils contracted, startled.

He subconsciously turned around and saw Xu Liang smiling.

"You two have been waiting for me for a week, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tao blushed immediately.

They had indeed been staking out the police station for a long time. They realized there might be some big news when they first saw Xu Liang going in and out of the station.

He had been squatting there for several days without finding anything, and now he had been caught red-handed.
"Ahem, it's all a misunderstanding."

Zhang Tao looked embarrassed and turned to leave, saying, "Let's go!"

He was just about to slink away when Xu Liang suddenly put his arm around his shoulder.

Zhang Tao was stunned. When he looked again, Xu Liang still had a smiling expression on his face.

He then spoke:

"Hey bro, I've got a really artistic news story here, wanna listen?"

The Zheng Mei case, if it were to be leaked...
Xu Liang dared to guarantee it.

The public outcry generated by this incident will absolutely prompt the Supreme People's Procuratorate to immediately establish a special task force!

Zhang Tao was taken aback, then immediately turned around with a smile, and said obsequiously:
"How tall is Lawyer Xu?"

Xu Liangdao:
"That's three or four stories high!"

"Come, listen to me."
