Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 231: The dog that bites never shows its teeth

If Li Yong hadn't gone crazy, Ye Zhiyu would have asked him all this.

It is estimated that no one will appeal for Liu Jinsong even if he spends the rest of his life in prison.

There is one thing that is hard to understand.

Why didn’t Liu Jinsong appeal himself?

After sixteen years in prison, did he never think about redressing himself?
"Brother Ma, get ready, we have to go to Xicheng."

The atmosphere in the captain's office seemed a little solemn.

Li Jun sat behind his desk, frowned slightly, and looked at the fat man standing in front of him with a puzzled look:
"You're going to Xicheng, Province S?"

When Yu Dazhang came to report just now, Li Jun thought he had misheard.

The investigators from Province S had just come to Songhai for investigation a few days ago, but Yu Dazhang was going to Province S instead.

He actually checked it again.

"We're going to find someone over there to understand the situation. It doesn't count as investigating the case," Yu Dazhang explained.

Going to Xicheng is equivalent to handling a case across provinces, so it is necessary to report to the superiors.

And before he went, there was one thing he had to tell Li Jun first.

"We are likely to encounter resistance when we go to Xicheng this time." Yu Dazhang continued:

"The other party is a prisoner. According to the clues we have so far, it is very likely that this is a wrongful conviction."

He believed that Li Jun could understand.

They are all within the system. Some things are difficult to explain clearly, but as long as there is a beginning, everyone will understand.

Since you know it is a wrongful case, why don’t you directly inform the local judicial authorities to re-examine the case?

Sixteen years have passed.

If it could be reviewed, it would have been reviewed long ago.

The resistance mentioned by Yu Dazhang is the local judiciary.

Longgang Wudi Shou, Nanshan Pizza Hut, Haidian Doli…

Friends who don’t understand can go and find out.

"Don't worry." Li Jun's eyes were firm:
"Just check whatever needs to be done, and report to me anytime you encounter any difficulties."

That’s enough… This is exactly what Yu Dazhang wanted.

Two and a half hours later.

Tin City Prison.

In a reception office, Yu Dazhang was flipping through a copy of the prisoners' information.

Liu Jinsong, 34, was sentenced to life imprisonment for intentional homicide…

The content of this document is similar to what Ma Jian investigated.

The only difference is that it also records Liu Jinsong's performance and living conditions during his imprisonment.

During his imprisonment, Liu Jinsong tried to change his confession several times, but failed each time due to insufficient evidence.

This also led to his delay in receiving a reduction in sentence.

Life imprisonment does not necessarily mean serving the entire life in prison.

In fact, if you behave well and obey supervision, you can apply for a reduction in sentence.

In total, the sentence will be commuted twice.

The first time it was reduced to 20 to 22 years, and the second time it was reduced to 13 to 18 years.

In other words, he will have to serve at least 13 years in prison.

Liu Jinsong has now served 16 years in prison and has never had his sentence reduced once.

Is this reasonable?

He had confessed everything on the night he was arrested.

Why did he insist on not pleading guilty for so many years?

"Please borrow your interrogation room. I want to see Liu Jinsong."

Yu Dazhang put down the information and looked at the warden beside him.

"No problem, I'll arrange it right away." In response to his request, the warden immediately nodded in agreement.

A quarter of an hour later.

Yu Dazhang met Liu Jinsong in the prison interrogation room.

He was brought in by two prison guards. After sitting down, he looked at Yu Dazhang with a confused look on his face.

"Just leave this to us." Yu Dazhang said politely to the two prison guards.

The two prison guards hesitated for a moment and did not move, apparently not wanting to leave.

"We are not here to visit or meet with anyone," Yu Dazhang emphasized.
"Liu Jinsong is involved in a criminal case, so the next interrogation will be completed by us independently."

After hearing this, the two prison guards looked at each other and finally left the interrogation room.

During this period, Liu Jinsong sat obediently on the interrogation chair, not daring to breathe.

After sixteen years, many rules have been engraved into his bones.

When there were only three of them left in the interrogation room, Yu Dazhang walked up to him:
"Don't be nervous, we are here to understand your case." As he said that, he took out Huazi from his pocket.

"Do you know how to smoke?" Yu Dazhang asked softly with a smile on his face.

When Liu Jinsong saw the smoke, his eyes lit up and he seemed a little impatient.

This change in expression naturally did not escape Da Zhang's eyes.

He took a cigarette out of the box, put it in Liu Jinsong's mouth, and then lit it for him.

There are not many ways to relieve loneliness in there, and smoking is the simplest and most convenient one.

Many people who didn't know how to smoke originally gradually learned it after entering.

It is now 2014. In a few years, domestic prisons will gradually begin to ban smoking.

Liu Jinsong took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

His expression also changed from being tense to calm.

Seeing that he had recovered, Yu Dazhang returned and sat down opposite him.

"I'll ask you questions and you answer them. Try to be as detailed as possible."

"Okay." Liu Jinsong nodded immediately with a serious look.

"Do you know Shao Xin?" Yu Dazhang asked.

Liu Jinsong was stunned for a moment when he heard the name, but quickly replied:
"know."

Perhaps because it had been too long, Liu Jinsong did not show any surprise.

"Describe your relationship."

When Yu Dazhang said this, his tone was very calm, as if he was just having a normal chat.

"We were high school classmates." Liu Jinsong thought for a moment and continued:

"I had a crush on her when I was in the first year of high school. A year later, I secretly wrote her a love letter. After that..."

He paused, a wry smile on his face:

"We only walked home together after school occasionally, and we never even held hands. Not long after, something happened to her."

This makes sense...Yu Dazhang had analyzed the situation from Li Yong's perspective when he was in the hospital before.

Out of love comes hate.

As long as Liu Jinsong admits that he had an ambiguous relationship with Shao Xin, the motive for murder would be established.

"Do you know Li Yong?" Yu Dazhang continued to ask.

"Who?" Liu Jinsong asked back.

It can be seen that he is unfamiliar with this name.

"Li Yong."

Yu Dazhang repeated it again, this time he emphasized his tone.

"No impression." Liu Jinsong shook his head:
"I think I've heard it somewhere."

"Your high school classmate." Yu Dazhang reminded:
"Like Shao Xin, in the same class as you."

Liu Jinsong was silent, and recalled for a moment. After a moment, he showed a look of sudden realization:

"Now I remember, there was indeed such a person, but he didn't talk much at school."

This is what it means when a dog bites without showing its teeth... Yu Dazhang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

An honest and introverted appearance is the best disguise.

Liu Jinsong probably never dreamed that he was sent in by Li Yong.

If he wasn't reminded, he wouldn't even remember Li Yong.

"What else can you remember about Li Yong?"

Yu Dazhang asked in a gentle tone:

"Anything is fine, even a small thing."

Ma Jian, who was in charge of recording, straightened his back immediately after hearing this.

He knew that this was the point.

"Li Yong..." Liu Jinsong muttered to himself, and then fell into memories.

If you want people to recall something well, try to use a gentle way to awaken the string in their subconscious mind.

Don't be too pushy, and don't make people react too strongly.

This is what Yu Dazhang learned from Ye Zhiyu.

He had seen Ye Zhiyu hypnotizing others several times, and had learned a little bit without realizing it.

This time it took a little longer. Liu Jinsong thought for five minutes before he came back to his senses.

"I don't really have any memory of him, but..."

He paused here and continued in an uncertain tone:

"He seemed to have joined a small group at that time, the kind that would gather in groups of three or five and fight together."
