Chapter 70: The Final Kill
"Zheng Chenghe."
Donghai Municipal Public Security Bureau, Criminal Investigation Section 1 Office.
Officer Liu placed a stack of information in front of Lin Xian and sat opposite Lin Xian:
"The taxi driver's name."
"I know."
Lin Xian replied lightly without opening the information in front of him.
"You know him?"
Officer Liu was a little surprised.
"I met him a few times in the hospital."
Lin Xian paused and continued:
"Actually, it can't be said that it's just a casual acquaintance. There is still some friendship. I even celebrated his sister's birthday and gave him gifts."
"I see, that's no wonder."
Officer Liu suddenly realized:
"No wonder that taxi braked and swerved violently in the end. It turned out that he recognized you..."
Officer Liu smacked his lips, unscrewed the thermos cup, took a sip of tea, and sipped the soaked wolfberry on his lips:
"This Zheng Chenghe is also a poor man... I just asked my colleagues from the next province to retrieve the files. About ten years ago... around 2010, in Zheng Chenghe's hometown village, due to the boundary problem of the house, His parents were beaten to death by the village bullies... His mother died in front of his eyes. In that era, in such a backward village, there was nothing that could be done."
"When his parents died, Zheng Chenghe was very young, barely in his teens, and his younger sister was just an infant. They were bullied a lot in the village. To be honest, the village bully also bullied others too much. Even the two children were not spared, and dogs often bit them. Later, Zheng Chenghe was bitten by a dog when he was protecting his sister. The injury was very serious and he almost died from the infection, but luckily he survived. "
"Then the brother and sister left the village and came to the East China Sea. It was not until a few years ago that those village tyrants were punished for their evil deeds and all died."
"died?"
Lin Xian raised his head:
"Why did he die? Zheng Chenghe killed him?"
He seemed to have seen similar news... a son avenging his murdered mother after many years.
"No, no, no, it's not what you think."
Officer Liu waved his hands hurriedly:
"Zheng Chenghe is a law-abiding citizen with no criminal record or any illegal record. He is also conscientious and down-to-earth at work... At that time, we could not find out the specific circumstances that drove it. In short, this murder case started again more than ten years ago. Re-trial.”
"After the retrial, it was discovered that the false accusation was false, and then the people involved in the murder were retried. All the men involved in the Murakuba family were basically executed."?
Lin Xian was a little surprised when he heard this.
like……
Something is wrong.
First of all, Zheng Chenghe definitely does not have the ability to reopen a case that was closed more than ten years ago. There must be very powerful and powerful people behind this to add fuel to the fire.
Secondly, all the men involved in the village bully's family were executed... This was a case more than ten years ago, and Lin Xian didn't quite understand it. It's not that he sympathizes with these beasts, it's just that he feels that from a legal perspective, the sentence shouldn't be so exaggerated.
So, it still feels that way...
There must be someone behind this incident.
So, thinking about it all together, it goes without saying that the character that best fits the characteristics of this series of events is——
The high-ranking Ji Xinshui.
"Officer Liu."
Lin Xian expressed his inner doubts:
"I have a question to ask. It's not that I think villains like the village tyrants shouldn't be put to death. I'm just asking from the perspective of legal trials... According to your experience, such vicious crimes more than ten years ago Now that the incident is being re-examined, according to legal standards, will all the men back then be sentenced to death?"
"This is difficult to explain, Lin Xian."
Officer Liu took a sip of tea and smacked his lips:
"We can only see the final result of the trial. How the case was sentenced in that year, we can't find out now without checking the detailed information. Although it stands to reason that not all of them will be sentenced to death, but... many things are hard to say, just in case What other crimes have the village tyrants committed over the years?"
"It is not necessarily impossible to get the death penalty for several crimes. As you know, in the past few years, the country has severely cracked down on gang-related matters. I don't think this is a strange thing. For these people who are used to doing bad things, they will Is it most likely impossible to be honest during these ten years?"
…
Listening to Officer Liu's explanation, Lin Xian closed his eyes and thought without saying anything more.
There is no suspicion of guilt].
This is the biggest problem he faces now.
According to Longguo law, if there is neither sufficient evidence to prove the defendant's guilt nor the defendant's innocence, he should be presumed innocent.
Such is the situation now.
He knew clearly about many things that the murderers were Ji Lin, Ji Xinshui, and Zhou Duanyun.
However, there just wasn't enough evidence to prove their guilt.
Including the matter of Zheng Chenghe.
He clearly knew that Ji Xinshui helped Zheng Chenghe behind the scenes, and Ji Xinshui probably paid for Zheng Xiangyue's medical expenses, so there must be a relationship between the two of them. Zheng Chenghe was obviously Ji Xinshui's savior.
This is something Lin Xian knows very well.
However, there is just not enough evidence.
Then there is no way to convict or judge.
"Lin Xian, we are in trouble."
At this time, Chu Shanhe walked in from outside and saw Officer Liu inside. The two greeted each other. It was obvious that the two had a very good relationship and were very familiar with each other.
Then, Chu Shanhe looked at Lin Xian:
"It has been 10 hours since we forcibly arrested Ji Lin and Ji Xinshui last night. But the problem is...the two of them said nothing. Not only did they not admit any criminal facts, they even refused to cooperate with our inquiries."
"This is very difficult to deal with. Just like I told you before, if there is not enough evidence to prove that the two of them are related to the murder case, we will detain them for a maximum of 24 hours and then we must release them.】"
"In addition...Ji Xinshui's background is very strong and powerful. Now a lot of pressure is on the Donghai police. I am afraid that in the next 14 hours, if we can't find evidence or they still don't admit their crimes, we will have to release them."
After listening, Lin Xian nodded.
This is also what he was worried about just now...
In fact.
10 hours ago, at 00:42, there were still many plots that did not go according to Lin Xian's plan.
He took the trouble to prove the taxi driver's "
intention to murder" on the manhole cover.
However, there was a problem here.
Perhaps it was Ji Lin's shouting that made Zheng Chenghe recognize him, so he immediately braked and turned sharply... leaving very eye-catching black tire marks on the ground.
In legal recognition, how to judge whether the vehicle accident was intentional or unintentional, brake marks and avoidance marks are crucial evidence.
And now, just because Zheng Chenghe temporarily braked and turned sharply, it is impossible to determine that he intended to murder himself... because the tire marks can be seen that he intentionally avoided in the end. Besides, the person is dead now, and there is no evidence.
This is the first.
There is also the second.
The second... is that Ji Lin did something that Lin Xian did unexpectedly.
He never thought that Ji Lin would temporarily retract his hand when he was about to push himself to the road to die.
This unexpected situation made all of Lin Xian's plans almost scrapped.
If Ji Lin did not retract his hand.
He would directly push himself to the road.
Then he could never clear himself of this act of intentional murder.
But the problem was that Ji Lin stopped and did not push himself out.
So from the existing evidence.
Ji Lin was also innocent and not guilty.
Even if his motives and actions were questioned again.
The law could not punish him if he was innocent.
Could it be...
After finally catching Ji Lin and Ji Xinshui, were they going to let them go without any gains?
Lin Xian did not want to see this anyway.
Once he let them go, his safety would be in trouble sooner or later.
People like this who had suffered a loss once were not fools and would never suffer a loss a second time.
Especially now that the details had been completely seen through by him, it was either you or I would die; as long as he dared to let them go, it was very likely that his catastrophe would come before tomorrow and he would die tragically somewhere in the East China Sea.
Since he had reached the point of being desperate, Ji Xinshui would most likely give up the 00:42 method of killing people by hitting them with a car and use other methods to quickly get rid of himself.
So...
We must not let them go. 】
Not only that...
It would be best if they disappeared forever and left no future trouble. 】
So.
How to do it?
How can we sentence them to death?
Lin Xian picked up the fountain pen on the table, pinched it between his fingers and began to rotate it quickly.
No doubt.
What Ji Lin and Ji Xinshui actually did was enough to be sentenced to death several times.
They killed Xu Yun, Tang Xin, and Academician Lyon...Especially Xu Yun and Academician Lyon, who are world-renowned great scientists. Their nature is very bad. It is not too much to sentence them to death in any country.
But the problem is.
There is no evidence now, and they do not plead guilty.
If they are willing to plead guilty...it would be much simpler.
In the laws of Longguo, confessions alone cannot be used as direct evidence to convict.
However, there is a special case-
If the criminal himself admits the crime, then his confession can be regarded as direct evidence and a link in the chain of evidence.
Therefore...
The most effective way at the moment.
Just let Ji Lin and Ji Xinshui confess their crimes in person!
"Is there any good way?"
Lin Xian's pen turned faster and faster, thinking quickly in his mind, various clues emerged, scattered, gathered, and overlapped-
On a rainy night, Huang Que crossed his legs on the sofa:
"This invitation is fake."
In the van, the big-faced cat bit a cigarette butt:
"I have no other way, I can only try... to have a chance to get an invitation to the Genius Club."
Outside the villa, Ji Lin leaned against the door:
"Lin Xian, have you heard of... the Genius Club?"
Lin Xian frowned.
It's almost time...
Think about it again.
Think about it again!
Ji Lin said that there may be two groups of people who killed people at 00:42.
Gang A Genius Club, and Gang B Ji Lin Ji Xinshui and others.
And Gang B is a poor imitation of Gang A. In Ji Lin's words, it wants to prove something to the Genius Club.
What do Ji Xinshui and others want to prove?
Why do they have to prove this?
What is their ultimate goal?
Ji Xinshui already belongs to the small group of people standing at the top of the world pyramid... He has already stood at the top above millions of people.
What else is he not satisfied with?
What else can he pursue?
Everything in the secular world, everything in reality, is at Ji Xinshui's fingertips, and he can even easily override the law and rules.
He is such a powerful person...
If he still has something that he is eager to pursue and wants to get...
It is definitely not as simple as power, money, and status!
It should be a more powerful, more mysterious authority that can control the fate of mankind!
Swish!
Lin Xian suddenly opened his eyes!
Maybe...
Whether it is Ji Lin or Ji Xinshui, their purpose is the same-
To join the Genius Club! 】
"It's worth a gamble."
Lin Xian stopped spinning the pen and clenched his five fingers.
At least...
Ji Lin and Ji Xinshui must know the existence of the Genius Club.
And for this extremely mysterious organization.
The information he knows may not be less than them.
Right now, there are only 14 hours left before the police release the people. If they are not allowed to admit their crimes, then all efforts will fail.
So... we must take a gamble!
"I'm going to go out for a while."
Lin Xian stood up and walked out the door, looking back at Officer Liu:
"Please continue to watch Ji Xinshui and Ji Lin, and don't let them have any contact... Wait for me to come back."
