While Xu Lang was looking through Zhang Jinzhong's files and the cases he had represented, Xu Lang discovered some problems.
Zhang Jinzhong has been working as a lawyer for more than ten years and has represented countless cases. However, the winning rate is not very high. However, although he lost most of the cases when he defended him, after Xu Lang reviewed these cases, Xu Lang
It was found that most of the defendants in these cases were very wealthy people, and the crimes they committed were also very serious, and some were suitable for the death penalty. However, under Zhang Jinzhong's defense, most of them were either
The punishment may be light or severe.
Among these cases, in one case, Zhang Jinzhong’s client, the defendant, committed murder, which was of a very bad nature and should have been sentenced to death. In the first instance, the trial result also sentenced the defendant to death, which was to be executed immediately.
However, the defendant refused to accept the verdict and appealed. During the second trial, Zhang Jinzhong was the defense lawyer. With his defense, he helped the defendant change the death penalty from immediate execution to death penalty with a two-year suspension.
Although the death penalty is a reprieve, compared with the immediate execution of the death penalty, as long as the prisoner behaves well in prison and actively rehabilitates himself in the past two years, there is a high possibility that he will not be executed. After all, China has strict regulations on the death penalty.
It should be applied with caution, and the death penalty is only a means of punishment, not the ultimate goal.
Zhang Jinzhong also received a high amount of legal fees in this case, and this is also the case in most other cases. Especially in recent years, Zhang Jinzhong has exclusively represented similar cases.
Seeing this, Xu Lang discovered that Zhang Jinzhong was not serving the judiciary, but serving money and his client. For lawyers like Zhang Jinzhong, the people who least wanted to see them were the police and the public prosecution agency, and
The family members of the victims, but they cannot exist without them. After all, prisoners also have human rights. However, it is precisely because of the existence of people like Zhang Jinzhong that many murderers who should have been severely punished were eventually punished either lightly or lightly.
The punishment is severely reduced, which is fair for the prisoner, but very unfair for the victim and his family.
After reading these detailed files of Zhang Jinzhong, Xu Lang was thinking about a question.
Is it because the murderer kidnapped, imprisoned and tortured Zhang Jinzhong because of Sun Qihang's car accident ten years ago, but because of other cases? For example, the case that Xu Lang saw just now was a case in which the death penalty was immediately executed and turned into a suspended death penalty.
Could it be that a family member of one of the victims in the case that Zhang Jinzhong represented had hatred towards Zhang Jinzhong, leading him to do such a thing?
According to general logic, this possibility is very high. After all, Zhang Jinzhong is a lawyer of excellent quality. As for whether he is a good lawyer or not, we don’t care for the moment. However, he is definitely not a very good person. At least, among those who have caused problems because of him
In the end, the murderer received a lighter punishment. In the eyes of the victim's family, Zhang Jinzhong was a bad person. In their opinion, Zhang Jinzhong was even worse than the murderer. The murderer also needed tools when committing crimes, but Zhang Jinzhong killed without blood and with a heart.
If there is a family member of a certain victim who hates Zhang Jinzhong, it is not impossible to kidnap him, imprison him, and torture him.
However, these are just Xu Lang's guesses, and there is no substantive evidence to prove this.
After reading Zhang Jinzhong's files, Xu Lang began to look through Wang Wenruo's files.
According to Luo Jiayan's investigation results, Wang Wenruo is indeed the fiancé of Li Jingqi, the victim in the car accident ten years ago.
Li Jingqi was only 26 years old when she was killed, and Wang Wenruo was 28 years old at the time. The two were lovers when they were in college. Although Li Jingqi was not particularly beautiful in college, she was still quite outstanding at that time.
Wang Wenruo was a well-known school idol in their school and was very popular with girls. Many people were not very optimistic about the two of them getting together and falling in love.
Originally, most people were surprised that Li Jingqi and Wang Wenruo would definitely break up like most college couples when they graduate from college. However, to their expectation, instead of breaking up, the two people continued to be together, and their relationship was
Even better than before.
Information shows that Wang Wenruo is not a native of S City, but a native of Xingchuan City, while Li Jingqi is a native of S City. Wang Wenruo was admitted to S University with excellent results. After graduating from university, Wang Wenruo could have returned to
Worked in Xingchuan City, and a large company in Xingchuan City once went to S University for recruitment and offered Wang Wenruo a very good job offer. However, for some reason, Wang Wenruo refused and stayed in S City, working in a
Small business work.
According to the results of Luo Jiayan's investigation, the reason why Wang Wenruo refused this very good job opportunity was mainly to stay with Li Jingqi. He did not want to break up with Li Jingqi, nor did he want to have a long-distance relationship with Li Jingqi. After all, long-distance relationships are easy to break up.
, Moreover, Li Jingqi was still in college at that time. It seems that, from this point of view, Wang Wenruo is a very emotional person and can give up a great employment opportunity for love.
After graduating from university, Li Jingqi also joined Wang Wenruo's unit. The two were not only lovers, but also colleagues. They were together every day at work and off work, which was very enviable. However, they have never gotten married. As for why, according to the information
Didn't write it.
However, although Li Jingqi did not
You and Wang Wenruo got married with a marriage certificate, but they were engaged very early and lived together. Although they were not named husband and wife, they were actually husband and wife. All they lacked was a marriage certificate.
At the back of the information, it was written that before the accident, Li Jingqi had planned to hold a wedding with Wang Wenruo and register their marriage. However, he was killed the night before they were about to obtain their marriage certificate.
When the police found Li Jingqi's body, they found a mobile phone on him, as well as household registration, ID card and other documents. The reason why the police found Wang Wenruo and others quickly was because they contacted them based on these things.
Li Jingqi has a sister named Li Jingwen, who is four years younger than Li Jingqi and six years younger than Wang Wenruo. The two sisters Li Jingqi grew up in a single-parent family. After their mother finished supporting Li Jingwen after graduating from college, she suffered from physical problems due to long-term fatigue.
Because she had just graduated from college and had not found a suitable job, she took care of her sick mother at home. After Li Jingqi was killed, Li Jingqi and Wang Wenruo were responsible for making money to support their family.
, because her mother could not accept the truth, her condition suddenly worsened and she became paralyzed in bed.
After learning that Sun Qihang was the perpetrator, during the trial, Wang Wenruo kept asking the court to severely sentence Sun Qihang and sentence him to death. He even once refused the high compensation proposed by Sun Qihang's family. However, the court rejected Wang Wenruo's request.
In the end, I don't know whether it was because he had figured it out and knew that people cannot be resurrected after death, or because Li Jingqi's mother was bedridden and needed a lot of money for medical treatment. He finally accepted the compensation from Sun Qihang's family.
After the Sun Qihang case was settled, Wang Wenruo used the compensation money to perform an operation on Li Jingqi's mother. The operation was successful. Not long after the operation, Wang Wenruo and Li Jingwen left S city with their mother and returned to Xingqi.
Life in Sichuan City.
Luo Jiayan's investigation information ends here.
After Xu Lang read it, he frowned.
Judging from the results of Luo Jiayan's investigation, since Wang Wenruo accepted the compensation from Sun Qihang's family ten years ago and has not filed an appeal, it stands to reason that he should have accepted this result. From the time Wang Wenruo performed surgery on Li Jingqi's mother,
This can be proven by taking Li Jingqi's sister and mother out of S City and returning to their hometown of Xingchuan City. Wang Wenruo's suspicion is gradually diminishing.
But why did Zhang Jinzhong talk about Wang Wenruo after waking up in the hospital?
According to Zhang Jinzhong's account, he was kidnapped because he received a call from a man who claimed to be Wang Wenruo and asked him to represent him in a car accident case.
And this man who calls himself Wang Wenruo said that the person he hit and killed with his car was Li Jingwen. According to Zhang Jinzhong, the person who kidnapped him must be Wang Wenruo. After all, Wang Wenruo and Li Jingwen did know each other and were very familiar with each other. If not
Wang Wenruo himself is someone who is very familiar with and understands Wang Wenruo and Li Jingwen. However, what is unknown now is whether Wang Wenruo was the one who kidnapped Zhang Jinzhong.
If it is Wang Wenruo, then what is his purpose for doing this? Is it really to avenge the murder of Li Jingqi in the car accident ten years ago?
If it's not Wang Wenruo, then who is impersonating Wang Wenruo? What is his purpose in doing this?
Another thing that Xu Lang found very strange was that both the people who kidnapped Zhang Jinzhong and the people who kidnapped Sun Qihang didn't seem to come for them, but for Xu Lang and the police.
, from the courier Xu Lang received containing Zhang Jinzhong’s right hand, the provocative phone call CSY received, the letter received by Sun Shihao’s parents, and the Second Criminal Investigation Team receiving Sun Qihang’s right hand, these can all illustrate this point.
Son.
And this is the most puzzling thing about this case. No matter whether the murderer is Wang Wenruo or not, what is his purpose in doing this?
If you want to know the purpose of the murderer, you must first find out whether Wang Wenruo is the one who kidnapped Zhang Jinzhong and Sun Qihang. Find out where Wang Wenruo and Li Jingwen are now and whether they are still in Xingchuan City.
If Wang Wenruo and Li Jingwen are still in Xingchuan City, then this case should not have much to do with them. If they are not in Xingchuan City, then where are they now? Is it S City? If it is S City, then
, you can continue to investigate along the lines of Wang Wenruo and Li Jingwen. If it is the former, then Xu Lang and the others will immediately change the direction of their investigation.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang told Lu Xing and the others what he had thought of.
After Lu Xing and Luo Jiayan listened, they thought about it and nodded. They felt that Xu Lang's idea was correct, so Luo Jiayan said: "Then I will contact the police in Xingchuan City and ask them to
The police in Xingchuan City can help with the investigation."
Xu Lang nodded.
When Luo Jiayan saw Xu Lang nodded in agreement, she went to make a phone call with a lollipop in her mouth, while Lu Xing began to organize the documents on the table.
————
Just when Xu Lang was thinking about whether to go to the hospital to see Zhang Jinzhong again and ask about Zhang Jinzhong's situation, Fan Yang came over.
Also walking with Fan Yang was Ding Haoqiong.
After Xu Lang saw Fan Yang, he saw the
After receiving a document, Xu Lang asked: "Has there been any result from the investigation of the envelope?"
Fan Yang nodded and said, "Yes."
Hearing what Fan Yang said, Xu Lang immediately became energetic and stretched out his hand to ask for the survey report. However, when Xu Lang stretched out his hand, he found that both Fan Yang and Ding Haoqiong had puzzled expressions on their faces.
His expression made Xu Lang very confused.
Xu Lang took back his hand, looked at Fan Yang and asked: "Didn't there be a result? Why is there such an expression?"
Fan Yang sighed and said: "It turns out, I found four people's fingerprints on the letter paper."
"Fingerprints of four people?"
Xu Lang frowned, and then asked: "Have the fingerprint comparison results come out? Whose are they?"
Fan Yang nodded and said: "The results are out. These four sets of fingerprints belong to two men and two women. Among them, the two female fingerprints are those of Qian Shengnan and Zhao Yahui, and the fingerprints of the two men, one of them is
Sun Shihao’s fingerprints.”
Hearing what Fan Yang said, Xu Lang nodded. This result was within Xu Lang's expectation. After all, this letter was only placed at the door of Sun Shihao's house. It was not surprising that their fingerprints were on it. After all, Xu Lang cared about it now.
The fingerprints were the fourth set. If Xu Lang guessed correctly, they should be the fingerprints left by the murderer. So, Xu Lang asked: "Whose fingerprints are the fourth set of? Is it left by the murderer?"
To Xu Lang's expectation, Fan Yang shook his head at this moment, frowned and said, "The fourth set of fingerprints is not someone else's, but Zhang Jinzhong's."
"What? Zhang Jinzhong's? How is this possible?"
When Xu Lang heard the result, he suddenly showed an incredible expression, stood up from the chair, looked at Fan Yang in surprise, and asked: "Is there an error in the fingerprint comparison?"
Fan Yang looked at Xu Lang and shook his head with great certainty, and said: "I also find it unbelievable. I have compared it several times and the result is the same. The fourth set of fingerprints collected on the letter paper belongs to Zhang Jinzhong."
Hearing this, Xu Lang's brows furrowed even more tightly.
Could it be that this letter was left by Zhang Jinzhong? Is Zhang Jinzhong behind all this?
This guess just appeared in Xu Lang's mind, and Xu Lang shook his head and rejected it.
The hand in the courier Xu Lang and the others received yesterday was none other than Zhang Jinzhong's, and Zhang Jinzhong also showed up and is now in the hospital. He indeed has no right hand, and the DNA comparison is also consistent. Zhang Jinzhong was the victim.
Or, when Xu Lang and the others saw Zhang Jinzhong, Zhang Jinzhong's miserable condition could be described as horrific, worse than a scavenger or a homeless man. If he did not receive timely treatment, Zhang Jinzhong would probably die.
of.
If Zhang Jinzhong really did all this, what was his purpose?
If Zhang Jinzhong is not crazy, why would a normal person do this to himself and cut off his right hand? Is it to blame the family of the victim in a case he represented ten years ago? As long as he has no brains
No one who is sick would do this. Moreover, Zhang Jinzhong is still lying in the hospital. Xu Lang just left the hospital at midnight last night. Now, there are comrades from the police station taking care of him in the hospital. Zhang Jinzhong has no chance to leave.
Yes, and his current physical condition is not suitable for leaving the hospital. Even if he leaves the hospital, what can he do?
Thinking of this, Xu Lang asked: "Where were Zhang Jinzhong's fingerprints found? On the envelope or on the letter paper?"
"What was found on the letter paper, to be precise, was found on a few words affixed to the letter paper." Fan Yang said.
"What about the envelope? Are there Zhang Jinzhong's fingerprints?" Xu Lang asked.
Fan Yang shook his head and said: "No, except for the fingerprints of Sun Shihao's family, there are no other fingerprints on the envelope."
Hearing what Fan Yang said, Xu Lang became more and more confused. Since Zhang Jinzhong's fingerprints were found on the letter paper, if Zhang Jinzhong placed this letter at Sun Shihao's door, then his fingerprints should also be on the envelope.
Ah, could it be that Zhang Jinzhong put on gloves after finishing the letter paper and placed this letter at the door of Sun Shihao's house?
Xu Lang felt it was impossible. As a lawyer, Zhang Jinzhong should be very clear about the police's methods of handling cases. If he were Zhang Jinzhong, he would definitely think that he could not leave his fingerprints on the letter paper. Then, from the beginning, he should wear
It's better to wear gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints. However, there are Zhang Jinzhong's fingerprints on the letter paper but not on the envelope. This is very strange.
If this letter was not placed on Sun Shihao's doorstep by Zhang Jinzhong, and Zhang Jinzhong did not do all this behind his back, then there is another possibility.
The words on the letter paper should have been cut out and pasted by someone. After Zhang Jinzhong finished, the other party took the letter, put it in an envelope, and placed it at the door of Sun Shihao's house for Sun Shihao to discover.
Find Xu Lang.
If this is really the case, then the question is, after Zhang Jinzhong woke up in the hospital yesterday, he told how he was kidnapped, how he escaped, and what happened to him during the time he was kidnapped and imprisoned.
The torture was clearly explained, but why was Xu Lang not told about it? What was going on?
