Chapter 20 Here comes the holy monk, come and play with me


Chapter 20 The holy monk is here, come and play with me

Lu Zhongxin in his previous life did fall into this case.

The situation at that time was exactly the same as now, and the task force unanimously believed that the missing Kong Lingjie was a major suspect.

A few days later, Kong Lingjie was arrested in a nearby hotel.

It went more smoothly than expected. During the interrogation, the suspect confessed that he was attracted by the beauty of the victim.

On her way home from school, Zhang Yan was kidnapped and taken to a rental house to commit misdeeds.

As a result, Zhang Yan resisted desperately and would rather die than obey. Kong Lingjie became angry and strangled her to death.

The task force believes that the facts of the case are clear and the evidence is confirmed and sufficient.

It can be determined that the suspect is indeed guilty and needs to be held criminally responsible.

Next, it will be transferred for review and prosecution.

This case went so smoothly in the previous life.

The only thing that made the task force feel suspicious was the trial.

The defendant, Kong Lingjie, actually hired a well-known barrister.

He proposed a lighter sentence on the grounds that he had a good attitude in pleading guilty and actively cooperated with the case.

The result was a suspended death sentence.

Did you think that was the end of the matter?

Everyone who knew about the case at the time thought so.

No one thought that the truly magical thing had just begun.

Kong Lingjie's sentence was commuted to life imprisonment after two years because he did not commit any intentional crime and performed well during his probation period.

Another year passed, which was the third year of Kong Lingjie's sentence... He reversed the verdict.

Can the conviction be reversed while serving a sentence?

Of course you can. Not only can the conviction be reversed during the sentence, but also after the sentence is completed.

The barrister who helped Kong Lingjie successfully escape the death penalty three years ago appears again.

This time he produced new evidence: Kong Lingjie's alibi.

According to the forensic autopsy report, the time of death of the deceased Zhang Yan was between 14:00 and 17:00 on June 5, 2014.

Since the body was discovered four days later, the time of death could only be determined to be within three hours.

What the lawyer provided was audio-visual evidence, which was a surveillance video from the mall.

The monitoring started at 15:20 pm on June 5, 2014.

In the surveillance video, Kong Lingjie wandered on the fourth floor of the shopping mall for at least ten minutes.

Ended up spending twelve minutes in a men's clothing store and purchased a men's jacket.

And this shopping mall...is not in Songhai!

The distance between the two places is 240 kilometers.

What does this distance mean?

For example, when the vehicle speed reaches 100 kilometers per hour, a one-way trip of 240 kilometers takes 2 hours and 40 minutes.

And this speed is only achievable on the highway.

In actual terms, this time will need to be increased by at least 20 minutes, because it also takes a certain amount of time to get on and off the expressway.

In other words, Kong Lingjie would never appear in Songhai during Zhang Yan's death time!

This is not over yet. The lawyer also provided the merchant receipts and paper invoices that Kong Lingjie left when he bought the coat in the mall.

Later, surveillance video from the merchant's store was provided.

This is enough to prove that Kong Lingjie's alibi is true and valid.

So the question is, since you were not there at the time, why did you confess during the interrogation?

The explanation given by Kong Lingjie is: torture to extract confessions.

And he pointed the finger directly at Lu Zhongxin. He insisted that it was police officer Lu who tortured him to extract a confession, and told the specific implementation method.

Specific to every word Lu Zhongxin said.

Among them: "Tell me, why did you kill Zhang Yan?"

This sentence is a typical accusation.

Give the answer directly: You are the murderer of Zhang Yan. You don’t need to admit it, just give the reason for the murder.

Of course it can’t be just this sentence, and...

"The homeowner has already identified you. Whether you admit it or not can lead to a conviction. If you have a bad attitude, it may be a little more serious."

This is a false confession.

"The matter has been explained clearly. If you surrender, we will explain to the court that you have a good attitude and let the court sentence you to a suspended sentence."

This is a confession.

All of the above fall into the category of illegal interrogation. And Lu Zhongxin used almost all of them.

Are you curious, these are very common in movies and TV dramas.

This is what those police officers on TV ask when interrogating criminals.

What does this mean?

The screenwriter doesn't know the law.

Besides, no one expects to see the real interrogation process in movies and TV dramas. Most people just watch the plot.

You can watch anti-Japanese war dramas with gusto, let alone police and gangster movies.

Three years later, Kong Lingjie was able to accurately repeat what Lu Zhongxin said at that time, almost word for word.

During the retrial, the court also retrieved the interrogation video from the time, which was exactly the same as what Kong Lingjie said.

Do you think this is scary enough?

It’s not over yet, the horror is yet to come.

He also pointed out that Lu Zhongxin used severe torture to extract a confession from him.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

However, the court did not find any violent behavior by Lu Zhongxin in the interrogation video.

Kong Lingjie gave the specific method.

During the interrogation, he mentioned that he was hungry, and Lu Zhongxin made him a bucket of instant noodles.

When he ate it, he found that the noodle soup was very salty, and he must have added additional salt.

The water he was given afterward was also salted, and the more he drank, the thirstier he became.

Moreover, he smelled a strong smell of sesame oil in his meals, which caused him to have diarrhea every day and make him feel very hungry even after eating.

As time passed, he couldn't stand it anymore and admitted all the things he didn't do.

This is the invisibility of torture in extracting confessions.

This thing goes both ways, you have no trace and he has no trace. Three years have passed, and Lu Zhongxin can't explain it even if he has a mouth.

You can't just deny it, you have to provide evidence.

What people are playing is the reverse operation.

At that time, Lu Zhongxin had long been promoted to the captain of criminal investigation. In the final analysis, it was really due to the successful solution of this case.

But when the backlash came, this strict old detective couldn't bear it anymore.

He may not care about life, but he must care about reputation.

When a cauldron fell from the sky and stained his body, Lu Zhongxin chose to use his life to wash away his grievances.

He committed suicide.

Before his death, he placed all police equipment, including guns, in the team, and even the police uniforms were neatly folded and placed on the bed in the dormitory.

He jumped off the bridge wearing the casual clothes he usually wore.

Yu Dazhang was in a trance for more than a month in his previous life.

After a later review, he came to the following conclusion.

Lu Zhongxin was at a critical moment in his career rise when he first took over this case.

So this case was extremely tempting to him at the time.

This also made Lu Zhongxin eager for quick success, which led to the use of unconventional interrogation methods during the interrogation.

This is like a vixen tempting Elder Tang: Come, holy monk, come and play with me.

When Elder Tang fell into the trap, the other party revealed his true face: Dah, holy monk, please respect yourself.

Do you think Elder Tang can bear this tone~

However, Yu Dazhang is certain that Master will never use such dirty tricks as "adding salt to instant noodles".

Lu Zhongxin will make mistakes in words, but he will never make mistakes in principle.

At the same time, he also firmly believed that Master would never do anything that would touch the bottom line.

If Lu Zhongxin was really that kind of person, he would not have resolutely chosen to commit suicide in his previous life.

Therefore, Kong Lingjie must have lied.

In order to trap Lu Zhongxin and achieve the purpose of exonerating himself, he spent three years to set up the trap.

Because he was not a member of the task force in his previous life, Yu Dazhang could only make these inferences.

This life was different. Not only did he know about the subsequent development, he also joined the task force.

Since Master still chooses to take over this case, let's go crazy with him for once.

"Master..." Yu Dazhang stood in the corridor and murmured:

"I will try my best not to let you become Elder Tang in this life."
