Liu Wei didn't show much reaction upon hearing this, but instead said dejectedly, "This is the sixth time already, and every time the appeal has been rejected."

Jiang Yilai said confidently, "Before, it was because there were many things that were not clear. Now I have new clues, and the court will reopen the investigation."

A hint of worry flashed in Liu Wei's eyes, and he asked urgently, "What clue?"

Jiang Yilai said, "Aunt Liu has already confessed the truth. She was the one who put the pesticide bottle there. You shouldn't have admitted to such an important clue back then."

Upon hearing this, Liu Wei stood up excitedly and hurriedly explained, "No, this is what I lost. It has nothing to do with her. She is in poor health and cannot go to jail."

"So that's the reason? Were there any other circumstances that made you confess back then?" Seeing his reaction, Jiang Yilai became even more certain that Aunt Liu's words were true.

Liu Wei shook his head, seemingly unwilling to talk about these things.

Jiang Yilai sighed: "Your husband is trying every means to prove your innocence, and you yourself have been appealing, but you are unwilling to tell the truth. No one can help you."

Even if Jiang Yilai understands that he wants to protect his wife, in the face of such irrefutable evidence, only by confessing himself can he have a chance to turn the tables.

Liu Wei shook his head: "I've always believed that God has eyes and will prove my innocence."

Luo Chen tapped the table: "Your idea is really foolish. Why don't you ask God to bring the murderer to you? You are the one who is locked up here because you took these crimes for granted."

“If I hadn’t confessed back then, they would have beaten me to death and even tried to burn down my house.” Liu Wei’s face still showed fear as he said this.

Luo Chen crossed his arms and said firmly, "Listen, I'm a police officer. Now you can speak freely and tell me everything. I will conduct a completely new investigation, and with this most upright lawyer by my side, we guarantee we can clear your name."

When Luo Chen spoke, his powerful aura made Liu Wei's eyes light up, as if he had seen new hope.

But soon his eyes dimmed, and he asked worriedly, "But if I tell the truth, will my wife go to jail?"

“She has made all the preparations. I will plead with the judge. You have spent several years in jail and you should understand that you have to accept punishment for doing wrong.”

All Jiang Yilai can do is try to reduce her sentence when the time comes.

Luo Chen also said, "She has turned herself in, and the court will handle the matter accordingly."

Seeing that he was still hesitant, Jiang Yilai said, "The deceased's family is also appealing continuously, demanding that the court sentence him to death. If this verdict is passed, it will be difficult to overturn it."

"You've been appealing all this time because you don't want to die. Now that you have a chance, you have to seize it." This was Jiang Yilai's final reminder to him.

Liu Wei nodded: "I'll cooperate!"

Luo Chen took out a voice recorder: "Very good. Now, retell everything that happened back then. You are not allowed to hide anything. This concerns your life."

If this is a miscarriage of justice, Luo Chen will definitely investigate it thoroughly.

After listening to his account, the situation was similar to what Aunt Liu had described. He was taken away from the crime scene, so there was no possibility of prior collusion.

Luo Chen and Jiang Yilai left the prison with somewhat solemn expressions.

In today's environment of collusion and mutual protection among officials, how many more people have become scapegoats?

Luo Chen said somberly, "I really didn't expect there to be a wrongful conviction under my command. I'll go back and report immediately and launch an investigation as soon as possible."
