Chapter 31 Chapter 30 Defending the Rival

Early this morning, Han Ding and Luo Jingjing arrived in Pingling by train.This was Luo Jingjing's first return to her hometown after leaving Pingling, and she couldn't help feeling a little excited.They went straight to the residence of Luo Jingjing's best classmate after they came out of the train station. Before they came out, they talked on the phone. Her classmate didn't go to work that day, so she was waiting for her at home. He went to Luo Jingjing's classmate's house to put down his luggage, and Han Ding hurried out alone.He first went to the People's Procuratorate of Pingling City, went through all the procedures required to act as a defender for Long Xiaoyu, and then, with the consent of the Procuratorate, read the relevant case file filed by the Pingling City Public Security Bureau to the Procuratorate for Long Xiaoyu's murder case. materials, which gave him a further understanding of the whole case.From the police's on-site investigation and investigation report, he learned that the case happened in the middle of a dark and windy night, which was actually not that deep at night, and most of the residents in Pingling hadn't gone to bed at that time.Long Xiaoyu rushed to the office of the expansion site of Baochun Pharmaceutical Factory, and forcibly had sexual relations with the victim. During the fight with the victim, Long Xiaoyu hit the victim's head with a wooden stick and stabbed the victim's abdomen with a sharp knife , and stabbed three times, resulting in the victim's death on the spot.Long Xiaoyu fled the scene after committing the crime.After a rigorous investigation by the police, Long Xiaoyu was detained on December 26, 1998, but she escaped on the same day.After many pursuits, the police arrested him in Beijing a year later. This is what Han Ding saw at Wukesong Aiqun Hotel a month ago.

It can also be seen from the case files that Long Xiaoyu refused to admit to all the crimes he was accused of during the preliminary trial by the public security organ. He only admitted to meeting Siping on the night of Siping's murder, but he did not admit to killing Siping.When the public security organ could not obtain a confession, it believed that other evidence was conclusive and sufficient, so it transferred the case to the Pingling City People's Procuratorate for prosecution.The Pingling City People's Procuratorate reviewed the investigation process of the public security organs and all the evidence materials transferred, and believed that the facts of Long Xiaoyu's murder case were clear and the evidence was sufficient. trial.

After reading the case files, Han Ding had a clearer understanding of the significance of his trip.He clearly realized that what he brought to Long Xiaoyu was not a chance to survive, but a legal right that should be defended.For Han Ding, rather than saying that he came for Long Xiaoyu's rights, it is better to say that he came for Luo Jingjing's entrustment. After Han Ding finished reading the materials at the procuratorate, he called Lao Lin's classmate, Yao Dawei, the section chief of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Pingling City Public Security Bureau, and invited him out for lunch.Yao Dawei had acquaintance with Han Ding once, and Lao Lin had called him beforehand to greet him, so he readily agreed.As a junior, Han Ding talked about the things he had to do in Pingling in the tone of asking for advice, and asked Yao Dawei to help Lao Lin to save face.Yao Dawei is a big man from the Northeast with a stalwart appearance and a loud voice. He is in perfect contrast with the skinny old Lin. He is a straightforward person at first sight. Second, although Long Xiaoyu's murder is unpardonable, Han Ding defended him as a lawyer, which is the legal right that criminal suspects should enjoy.Although he is a police officer who investigates Long Xiaoyu's case, he understands that Han Ding stands on the opposite side of the police and picks up the evidence collected by the police.
