"Later he was convicted of theft and negligent death, and was sentenced to six and a half years in prison. There was no reduction in his sentence in prison, and he was not released until half a year ago." Wei Boyan said.
"The life of two children is only sentenced to six and a half years? What is the law in your tenth district?" Lu Wen asked.
"Alas, negligence caused death." Wei Bo'an shrugged, "And he had a good attitude. He took the initiative to compensate the victim's family, and gained the understanding of the victim's family."
"Excuse me? Can you understand this?"
Lu Wen asked himself.
If it were his own child, he would definitely not ask for a penny, he just wanted the criminal to be sentenced to life.
"The dead are gone, and the living must live on. Having money is better than having no money."
Wei Bo'an was also helpless, as this was the verdict at the beginning.
Lu Wen felt the sentence was too lenient.
Maybe the murderer secretly thought so too.
In short, they had to rush over as soon as possible to protect the murderer's fourth target.
Fortunately, Jiang Yun still lives in District 10, and the distance is not too far, only more than ten minutes away.
"In that family of three, the father died, the mother was imprisoned, and the child was sent to an orphanage... Do you think that child grew up and came back for revenge?" Wei Boyan asked.
"Yes." Lu Wen nodded.
Isn't that what Xia Chuluo is like
Both parents died.
Everyone told her it was just an ordinary car accident.
But she still didn't believe it.
He has been pretending to be sick since he was a child, and after fishing for more than ten years, he finally caught Luo Ruyan, and then used Luo Ruyan as new bait to catch more fish.
"The kid is dead."
"What? Dead?"
"Well... the information I just found shows that he was always withdrawn in the orphanage and didn't like talking to other children. When he grew up, he left the orphanage and jumped off the building and died not long after." Wei Boyan has already remembered it. I don’t know how many times I sighed today.
Time takes away many people and things.
Those who experience it are just stunned, while onlookers always feel regretful.
The child was only 8 years old when that case occurred.
Later, he left the orphanage at the age of 18 and committed suicide by jumping off a building.
That time was two years ago.
"The child is dead, so who will come back for revenge?"
relative
friend
Since the child was sent to an orphanage after the family tragedy, it means that their family has no relatives.
As for friends, the possibility is not very high.
Could it be the executive who handled this case back then
"I'm reminded of a case in the Thirteenth District. It's very strange."
Lu Wen said to Wei Boyan while driving.
"That was also a murder case. A worker killed the factory owner."
"The person handling that case was an experienced veteran executive."
"At that time, all the evidence pointed to the worker. For example, there was dissatisfaction over salary issues. Many people saw the quarrel between the worker and the boss, and the worker had no alibi. The murder weapon also had the worker's fingerprints on it, so the worker was arrested. , but he has always claimed that he was wronged.”
The old executive officer had been handling cases for many years and had rich experience, and he vaguely sensed that something was not right.
He took that case to heart and pursued it for many years.
Finally, before the worker died, the real murderer was caught.
To overturn the worker's decades in prison.
But as Luo Ruyan said.
Today's executive officers rarely have the patience and ability to investigate cases. Their focus revolves around androids. The credit of killing an escaped android is worth the hard work of months of handling the case.
"Do you still think someone in the execution bureau is the murderer?" Wei Boyan asked.
"Yes, except for people from the Executive Directorate, I can't think of anyone else who can meet all the conditions."
High education, high IQ, special training.
Calm and confident.
A large amount of information about the cases of that year can be obtained.
I have witnessed too many injustices and know how to use the media...
"Hey, let's protect the next target first."
Wei Boyan sighed and looked out the window.
There was a gap of six days between the first deceased lawyer and the second deceased homeless man.
The tragic death of the third victim was discovered the next day.
The murderer wasted time.
"Because he once committed the crime of stealing electricity, Jiang Yun can no longer engage in electricity-related industries. After he was released from prison, he has been in a haze and failed to find a job. He was later imprisoned twice for fighting."
"Become a useless person?"
"Roughly the same."
Lu Wen parked the vehicle next to a dilapidated community.
Yes, it's shabby.
Old is not enough to describe this community.
The roads in the community are dilapidated, there are almost no properties, and the people coming in and out look numb. They are all people who are not living a satisfactory life.
The two of them found Jiang Yun who was playing mahjong at the mahjong parlor next to the community.
Dark skin, thin.
The cheeks are sunken,
He is not yet fifty, but his rickety appearance is no different from that of the old people on the street.
The smoky mahjong parlor made Wei Boyan frown.
He stood at the door.
Lu Wen walked in and called Jiang Yun out.
"Sir, what do you want from me?" the thin man said, without much expression on his face.
"Several murders have occurred during this period. We now need your cooperation to conduct an investigation." Lu Wen said.
"I know I'll be the next one to die."
Jiang Yun's reaction was beyond Wei Bo'an and Lu Wen's expectations.
He seemed to know something.
"You two, come sit down at my house and ask me whatever you want to know."
Jiang Yun's home.
Or that shabby rental house.
A single room.
The windows are very old-fashioned. The red painted wooden windows have lost their color, and the somewhat dirty glass is swaying gently in the summer wind.
Large chunks of white paint peeled off the walls, exposing the cement lining.
Old electrical wires are everywhere.
The old electric fan, which was barely working, was spinning.
One bed takes up half of this single room.
There is a mat on the bed.
Wei Boyan and Lu Wen were sitting on the mat.
Jiang Yun moved a wooden stool and sat across from the two of them.
"I am a sinner and I deserve it. It would be better to die as soon as possible."
This was the first thing he said.
"We are here to help you. You first tell us what you know."
Lu Wen did not ask specific questions.
It's not a good idea to ask questions at this time. Jiang Yun should know much more than they do.
"Both officers should know about the case twelve years ago. I was present as a witness."
"Know."
"I committed perjury."
Jiang Yun confessed the truth. The man was always calm and seemed to have accepted the fate that was about to happen.
"Growing up, my life has always been very unsatisfactory. My parents quarreled and got divorced. Neither of them wanted me. They thought I would be a drag on their second marriage. Later, I became an electrician, clumsy and with low performance. I negotiated Several love affairs ended in vain..."
"The couple who lived next door to me were very loving. To be honest, I was... maybe jealous at the time."
envy.
It's just two simple words.
So Jiang Yun went to court and gave perjury, saying that the couple often quarreled.
"My own life is a mess. I am still a bad person. I ruined other people's families and later killed those two children. After I was released from prison in the past six months, I often dreamed about them..."
Jiang Yun whispered his story.
his life.
A shitty life.
Like a rat in a stinking ditch, it feels disgusting to even step on it. There is no difference between living and dead.
"When that case happened twelve years ago, a doctor came to me. He was the man who died miserably in the news today. He said he could give me a sum of money and let me commit perjury."
"I didn't ask for the money because I wanted to do that at the time..."
From Jiang Yun's narrative, Lu Wen restored the original incident bit by bit.
Early morning twelve years ago.
A murderer sneaked into a house and killed the husband for unknown reasons.
When the wife woke up in the morning, she found a dagger stuck in her husband's chest.
So I ran to the executive bureau in a panic.
His wife's fingerprints were later found on the dagger.
Through interviews and investigations, it was found that the neighbor of this family, Jiang Yun, out of jealousy, said that he often heard the two of them quarreling.
The homeless man on the street, who accepted the doctor's money, also perjured himself, saying that he saw his wife through the kitchen window going into the kitchen to get a knife.
The day of the trial.
The plaintiff's lawyer, the first deceased, won a resounding victory. It was the first successful lawsuit in his life.
He became a somewhat famous lawyer.
Later, his nature gradually changed, and he appeared more and more often at the defendant's defense lawyer's table. He began to collect money and help forge evidence.
The lawyer was innocent in that case twelve years ago, and he just did what he should do. If he had not embarked on the road of knowing and breaking the law in later years, he might have been able to avoid death.
"That unjust case will always be remembered by one person."
Remembered for twelve years.
until now.
The person felt that the time was up and the evidence was almost collected, so he started to act.
"Now there are only two questions left."
"Why did the doctor give the homeless man money to perjury in the first place?"
"Who was the real murderer back then..."
Is there some connection between the real murderer and the doctor
But all the clues stop here.
"We will arrange manpower to protect you. This place is uninhabitable. You come with us to the safe house. As long as the murderer cannot get to you, his subsequent plans cannot be implemented."
It now appears that the murderer spent twelve years preparing for all this.
Everything is in order and everything is in hand.
Lu Wen wanted to interrupt his plan.
"No, sirs, I should have died a long time ago. I deserve everything." This man lived in confusion and had been waiting for this day.
"What I just said was not in the tone of discussion."
Lu Wen and Wei Boyan forced Jiang Yun out of the rental house.
The single charge of perjury was enough to put him in jail for several more years.
But now is not the time.
Jiang Yun must be used to lure the murderer out.
There are many safe houses in the 10th District Enforcement Bureau.
It is generally used to protect important witnesses.
Lu Wen chose a nearby room, which was a small villa.
There are surveillance cameras around the villa.
Wei Boyan called someone he trusted in the executive bureau.
"Everyone wears civilian clothes and uses camouflage vehicles from the Executive Directorate to deploy around Safe House No. 06."
