Returning to the special case team office, Lu Dongming raised his thumb as soon as he entered the room: "Xiao Mo, you are so good at telling lies, you can compete with Lao Yan."
Duanmo touched his nose: "I just think you are complimenting me."
What she said to Bai Xiaoya was really both true and false.
At present, there is no testing method that can identify the actual age, and there is no saying that the error is only three months.
As for contacting foreign police to investigate someone's movement, she just said it casually. She didn't know whether it could be implemented, what procedures to follow, and whether diplomatic relations were needed.
Two years have passed since the car accident in Qianhuashan. The deceased had been cremated long ago, and it was impossible to determine whether she was Bai Xianxian through DNA comparison.
If you want to know the whole truth of the case, you can only open a breakthrough from Bai Xiaoya. With her attitude, it will be difficult to pry her mouth open without using some means.
Duan Mo also thought of saying this because he had discussed similar issues with Lu Wuchuan before.
"How do you talk?" Yan Yishuai rolled his eyes at Lu Dongming, "Do you understand that a soldier never tires of deceit? It's terrible to be uneducated!"
After speaking, he turned back to Duan Mo and said, "Xiao Duan, don't listen to his nonsense. You performed well on the spot today, especially that look and momentum, which shocked me."
"What does it mean to be red when you are close to vermillion, and black when you are close to ink? This is it." Jiang Muyang glanced at Lu Wuchuan, "Don't you realize who the elementary school girl looks like?"
Duanmo was holding a cup to drink water, and her cheeks suddenly turned red. She coughed a few times, pretending to be choked by the water.
Lu Wuchuan cast a warning look: "Are you bored?"
"It's not boring, no, it's not idle, it's very busy." Jiang Muyang returned to his seat quickly.
Lu Wuchuan has been focusing on physical training whenever he has free time recently. He was so tired from doing two hundred push-ups yesterday that his arms are still sore.
…
According to relevant regulations, after criminal detention of a criminal suspect, family members must be notified within 24 hours unless it hinders the investigation.
Duan Mo called Luo Yumei's mobile phone. Although Ren Dong was Bai Xiaoya's brother from a legal perspective, after all, they were direct relatives who were related by blood.
Before making the call, Duan Mo chose her words first. She felt that this matter was very cruel to a mother. The pain of losing her daughter two years ago may not have subsided, but now another bloody fact is in front of her.
One daughter was killed, but the other was the murderer. I wonder if Luo Yumei can bear it.
Surprisingly, Luo Yumei, except for being silent for a while at the beginning, has been very calm since then.
She just asked if Ge Liangcai could continue to be a defense lawyer.
Duanmo said: "If you want to continue to hire lawyer Ge, you need his consent and a new entrustment agreement. Alternatively, you can apply for legal aid."
The previous agreement was signed in Bai Xianxian's name and had no legal effect.
Luo Yumei didn't hesitate for a moment: "Can you please Officer Duan to help me contact Lawyer Ge?"
"Yes." Duan Mo replied, "But I can't guarantee whether Lawyer Ge will have time to take on this case. Maybe it would be better for you to contact him directly yourself."
The public security organs have no right to require a certain lawyer to take on a certain case; the decision-making power rests entirely with Ge Liangcai.
"I really don't have the energy to take care of these things anymore, please help Officer Duan," Luo Yumei said sincerely.
Duan Mo suddenly realized that it was not that she had no energy, but that she no longer wanted to be involved in Bai Xiaoya's affairs. In other words, she no longer wanted to be involved with Bai Xiaoya.
"Ms. Luo, you don't plan to come to see her?"
"There is no need for us to meet." Luo Yumei answered simply, "If Lawyer Ge agrees, let him be the defense lawyer. If not, forget it. Whether you apply for legal aid or find another lawyer, I don't care.
.”
Duan Mo didn't expect her attitude to be so firm, so he sighed helplessly after hanging up the phone.
"Why are you sighing?" Lu Wuchuan heard the content of her previous call and had already found Ge Liangcai's phone number and put it in front of her.
Duan Mo rested his elbows on the table and cupped his chin: "Luo Yumei didn't ask anything, as if she knew everything."
"This is not surprising." Lu Wuchuan said, "As a mother, how can I not feel it at all? Even twins who look exactly the same can tell the difference at a glance."
Duan Mo suddenly realized: "No wonder she behaved like that when she came here before."
Maybe Luo Yumei had long sensed that Bai Xianxian was Bai Xiaoya pretending to be her, but she chose to remain silent.
The last time she came to the Liancheng City Public Security Bureau was to act as a guarantor for Bai Xianxian to be released on bail pending trial. After signing the contract, she returned to Ling County. No matter how busy her family was, she would not have time to wait for one more day. It turned out that it was just an excuse. In fact,
I just don't want to meet.
Duan Mo called Ge Liangcai. Even though he had been practicing law for many years, he was still surprised after hearing the general situation. Finally, he said that he had to meet Bai Xiaoya first before he could decide whether to defend her.
Ge Liangcai came the next morning, and the person who came with him was not Yang Qingkui, but a young assistant lawyer.
Jiang Muyang and Duan Mo went to the detention room to pick up someone. Bai Xiaoya was in a crazy state, mumbling endlessly, saying that she should not respond no matter what. When it came to Ge Liangcai who wanted to see her, he only rolled his eyes slightly.
After a while, he returned to his indifferent appearance.
The person guarding the detention room said that she had been like this since she came in yesterday, and she would only become quiet when she fell asleep.
Duan Mo looked at her coldly, and after a while, she slowly spoke: "The decision-making power of mental evaluation lies with the judicial organs. It does not mean that as long as someone files an application, the evaluation must be started. If the person is in a normal state of mind when committing a crime, he should bear criminal responsibility.
Of course, mentally ill patients who are dangerous to society will be sent to compulsory treatment regardless of whether they need to bear criminal responsibility or not."
Jiang Muyang took over the conversation and said: "Do you understand forced treatment? To put it bluntly, even if you are exempted from criminal liability, you still have to be sent to a mental hospital. That kind of place, tsk tsk, you can think about it yourself."
A flash of surprise flashed in Bai Xiaoya's eyes. She had never thought of entering a mental hospital before.
Duanmo called her name again and said in a cold voice: "It was your mother who wanted to ask Lawyer Ge to defend you, so he agreed to come to see you. If you don't need it, we will ask him to go back now."
I don't know which sentence touched Bai Xiaoya. She suddenly raised her head: "I... want to see him."
Bai Xiaoya was taken to the interview room, and Ge Liangcai's conversation with her lasted more than two hours.
Finally, Ge Liangcai came out with the entrustment agreement. He took a deep breath and said to Duan Mo: "I have finished talking with my client. You can proceed to the next step at any time."
