Chapter 32 Chapter Five

In the past few days, Han Yin and Kang Xiaobei have been running around, busy confirming Xia Mingde's criminal motives, while Ye Xi stayed behind, continued to deal with Xia Mingde, and at the same time was responsible for the reception of his attorney. Because the implementation of the new criminal law has improved the rights of citizens, lawyers can carry out agency work in the initial investigation stage of a case, and they meet with criminal suspects alone without any recording or monitoring, and the conversations between them are strictly confidential. The police have no right to interrogate the suspect; and when the police interrogate the suspect, if the suspect makes a request, the lawyer will appear and accompany him to ensure that his rights are not violated. In the trap.As a result, every time Xia Mingde was interrogated after the attorney's participation, he did not respond to all of Ye Xi's questions, but his attorney repeatedly stated: "The travel bag containing the murder weapon does not belong to Xia Mingde, but to someone else. Passengers left in the car."

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Xia Mingde made a lot of fuss about hiring a lawyer, and it can even be said that he performed a ridiculous farce.Since he asked to hire a lawyer, in less than a week, five lawyers have been replaced. was also insulted by him.Generally speaking, he has always emphasized that these lawyers are not capable enough, and he needs a lawyer who promises to clear up his grievances. The problem is that the "Lawyers Law" and the lawyer's practice regulations clearly prohibit lawyers from making any promises to their clients.And what's ridiculous is that, in exchange and exchange, in the end Xia Mingde decided to hire back the first lawyer he came into contact with. The reason he gave was: after comparison, he felt that the lawyer had the strongest ability and deserved it. He went to entrust.But after such a back and forth, Ye Xi began to suspect that the lawyer might have directed this farce.

This series of robbery and murder cases should be said to be extremely sensational and can attract enough attention.In fact, many lawyers were willing to act as Xia Mingde's attorney, and some even approached his sister and offered to represent him for free. With the farce of changing lawyers, the case has completely attracted the attention of the entire legal community in Gudu City.As a result, the action of the special case team is like walking on thin ice, and if there is a slight mistake, it will inevitably be criticized by the legal profession and public opinion. This is probably the real purpose hidden behind the farce.However, this also reminded Ye Xi that there must not be even the slightest flaw in the case handling procedures, lest the lawyer take advantage of the loopholes and affect the final court trial.

In view of the above situation, Ye Xi, Han Yin and Kang Xiaobei met urgently, and they all believed that the current evidence should be consolidated to deal with the changing situation. "Will people take it for granted simply by looking at the cause and effect of the case through Xia Xue's car accident?" Kang Xiaobei said worriedly. "It's really not convincing. After all, the direct perpetrator of the car accident is still safe." Ye Xi nodded helplessly and said, "Even if we point out from the perspective of criminal profiling that Xia Mingde might want to save him until the end to kill him, we still have to It's just speculation, and no one can say what didn't happen!"

"As for the murder weapon, Xia Mingde's reasons seem far-fetched at first, but when you think about it carefully, from the perspective of his profession, it is also reasonable." Kang Xiaobei continued. "It makes sense, at least what Xia Mingde said is possible, especially since we didn't find the stolen goods at his house." Ye Xi nodded in agreement, "It seems that the evidence of this case still needs to be improved." "Then start with the physical evidence." Han Yin, who has not said a word, suggested, "Extensively trace the sources of travel bags, daggers, and ropes. If the seller can be found, see if Xia Mingde can be identified; at the same time, ask his relatives and friends. Have you ever seen him use that travel bag?"

"The direction is right..." Kang Xiaobei hesitated for a moment, and said falteringly, "But what if we can't find out? Could it be that we really caught the wrong person?" yes!Han Yin and Ye Xi never seemed to consider this!The two looked at each other, their brows tightened at the same time... On July 31, at 2:30 in the morning, Xia Mingde was still detained in the detention center, and the robbery and murder case reappeared. If it was a case of the same series, this would be the sixth case. The victim was a young man who died half an hour ago in a private room of a disco.

Number four was marked on the door of the private room, and it was a mess inside, with wine bottles, cigarette butts, fruit plates, etc. thrown all over the room.The victim was lying on his back on a large sofa with blood on his neck.On the wall next to the back of the sofa, there was a red manga portrait painted on the wall. His eyebrows were drawn into a figure of eight, his mouth was drawn into an "O" shape, and a few small dots were drawn on the corners of the mouth on both sides. It seemed that the murderer was either trying to draw a " The emoji of "crying and weeping", or trying to draw "vomiting" or "drooling".

Han Yin looked around in the private room, and finally fixed his eyes on the bloody graffiti, and suddenly felt a little worry in his heart: it didn't seem to be an imitation of the crime, the strokes were simple and clear, and the expression of the cartoon avatar changed, which was logically consistent with the previous one. Cases are similar.If it is an imitation, I am afraid that the expression of the graffiti will be the same as a graffiti that appeared before. Sure enough, the forensic doctor said that as in the previous case, the victim was first strangled to death with a rope, and then his throat was cut. The graffiti dye was human blood.The on-site investigators also said that the victim's property was looted and he had no documents that could prove his identity...

Not long after Han Yin chatted with the forensic doctor, Kang Xiaobei walked into the private room from the outside, pointed to the victim and said, "The waiter who reported the case said that they were a group of people drinking here last night, but when the waiter came in, only He fell here alone. I guess this person was drunk and left alone, giving the murderer an opportunity. In addition, there are video surveillance at the entrance and exit and the dance floor hall. I just glanced at it. Well, I can’t see people clearly. As for whether the murderer can be captured at the entrance or exit, I’m not optimistic. There is also a back door here, which is not monitored, and guests can come in and out freely. If I were the murderer, I would definitely go through the back door. I will copy these videos I bought a copy, take it home and take a closer look!"

"Have you seen anyone suspicious?" Han Yin asked. "I asked a few waiters, and they all said that there were too many guests last night, so I didn't pay much attention." Kang Xiaobei said. "Where are the guests?" Han Yin asked. "Everyone who should go is gone, and those who stay here are all drunk and unconscious, there's no point." Kang Xiaobei shook his head lightly and said. "I asked the bar manager, and he said that the victim was a regular customer. A group of people often come to play. They all seem to be quite rich, but their identities are not clear." Ye Xi also walked into the private room and followed behind Kang Xiaobei. Said, "The manager said he knew one of them. He has hung up on that person and will be here soon."

"No matter who he is, at least judging from the information we have so far, he is quite similar to the previous victim type." Kang Xiaobei said with a dejected face, "I can't guarantee it, I really caught the wrong person!" "We're in trouble!" Han Yin smiled unnaturally. "That's right, some details of this case did get out due to the media rushing to report it, but it's impossible for outsiders to know it in such detail, and it's hard to imitate it so similarly." Ye Xi also smiled wryly, and then changed the topic, "Unless it is We insiders did it, or Xia Mingde has an accomplice?" "If we believe that Xia Mingde is suspected of committing the crime, we can only consider it from these two directions!" Han Yin sighed helplessly. After closing the team, more specific information will be fed back one after another. The blood of the graffiti did come from the victim, and it was also dipped in the victim's clothes. The blackmail was also made of rope, and the pattern of the strangle marks was strikingly similar to the previous case. It can be confirmed that the rope cover seized in Xia Mingde's car Same size and category.The victim is from a wealthy family, 20 years old, unemployed, and often hangs out in various nightclubs. The paradox is that he is an acquaintance with the previous victim, but they haven't been together for a long time.The camera surveillance seems to have captured the murderer: at around 1:30 in the morning, the door of private room No. Due to the light, it was impossible to see the face of the murderer clearly. We could only judge from his figure that he was a man, about 1.78 meters tall. The travel bags and daggers seized earlier appeared to be street goods. The ropes used to make the nooses were found to be produced by local manufacturers, but the sales range was very wide, and it was difficult to identify specific retailers.The progress of the physical evidence investigation is not going well, and a very similar case suddenly appeared. It has to be said that it is quite beneficial to Xia Mingde. His lawyer also responded and has already requested the police to release his client. Therefore, even if Han Yin and Ye Xi Not reconciled, I want to try to investigate whether he has any accomplices, and there will not be too much time left for them. In addition, as analyzed at the scene of the crime, there is another direction of investigation, that is, imitation crimes from within the police station.However, this kind of investigation may be difficult to carry out on a large scale. It not only affects morale, but also easily arouses criticism from the outside world, and the entry point of the investigation is also a problem.Like the case he handled two years ago, Han Yin provided Ye Xi with a way of thinking: If an insider commits the crime, the motive is nothing more than a little bit. With the advantage of knowing the inside story of the case, he takes the opportunity to take revenge on the person he hates, so as to make the crime clear. Transferring it to the so-called "true murderer" indirectly helped Xia Mingde, but it also greatly misled the investigation of the case.Of course, he doesn't care about these. In this way, if someone in the police station has some kind of connection with victim No. 6 and the social interactions around him, then it is very likely that this person is imitating the crime.
