Chapter 399 I Request Recusation
Police station, Criminal Investigation Brigade.
A young detective in plain clothes walked into the office angrily with a stack of documents in his hand.
With a "bang", he slammed the document heavily onto the table, causing other people in the office to look up.
The young detective was heard to curse angrily, "Since the launch of the 'Crackdown on Organized Crime and Evil' campaign, we've been investigating Yan Wenxi for six months, and this is all?"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment upon hearing this, their faces filled with anger and helplessness.
"That's where his cleverness lies. He leaves very few traces behind in his actions. And these are the results we've obtained through our tireless investigation day and night."
"Smart? He's cunning. Once he does something, there's no way it won't leave no trace."
"But look at what we've found? The most serious are intentional injury, forced transactions, and illegal detention. The person involved in the illegal detention died of a terminal illness three years ago, and there aren't even any direct witnesses!"
The young detective was a little emotional. He slammed the table and said, "I just don't believe that Yan Wenxi hasn't killed anyone in all these years!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a big hand landed on his shoulder, startling him so much that he jumped far away.
He took a closer look and his expression instantly wilted: "Captain Tang."
The others also stood up: "Captain Tang."
Tang Song nodded calmly, looked at the young detective and said, "It's no use yelling here. We investigate cases based on evidence, and the court also looks at evidence when deciding sentences."
"But Captain Tang, the criminal facts we currently have regarding Yan Wenxi can only sentence him to a few years at best. Everyone in Longcheng knows his identity and methods. I don't believe he has no homicide record."
Tang Song still said lightly: "Evidence, show me the evidence!"
If there is no evidence that Yan Wenxi has killed anyone, then he will definitely not be able to be punished for intentional homicide.
"Captain Tang, we've almost finished investigating everyone around Yan Wenxi. His gang was established a long time ago, and some of his dirty deeds may have happened a long time ago. Now, all the properties under his name are very clean, and they've been cleaned up very thoroughly. He's also very shrewd. He doesn't have much property to his name. Some of it is in his wife's name, and some has long been dispersed and transferred."
"Based on the charges against Yan Wenxi that we currently have, the sentence does not warrant confiscation of all his property."
These words caused the Criminal Investigation Brigade office to fall into silence.
In other words, if no direct evidence of Yan Wenxi's more serious crimes can be found, he can still make a comeback after a few years.
"Wildfires cannot be extinguished; they will grow again with the spring breeze." Tang Song whispered.
At that moment, someone knocked on the office door. "Captain Tang, Captain Xue led a team to investigate Yan Wenxi's joint venture, Shuiyunjian, and brought back a person closely related to Yan Wenxi. Do you want to go over and question him in person?"
"Is there still a fish that has slipped through the net?" The young detective was shocked when he heard this and frowned.
It’s clear that all the relationships around Yan Wenxi have been thoroughly exposed!
Tang Song didn't think much about it and just nodded: "I'll go."
In the interrogation room, Shen Ci sat on a chair very cooperatively. A female detective poured her a glass of warm water. "Don't be nervous. This is an interrogation room, not an interrogation room. Just answer truthfully when we ask you something."
Seeing that Chen Ci was still young, the female detective was afraid of scaring her, so she kindly spoke up to remind her.
Shen Ci didn't look nervous at all, and just smiled and nodded when she heard it.
Footsteps were soon heard outside the door. Captain Xue, who was half leaning against the door, stood up straight when he heard the sound. When the door was pushed open, Tang Song walked in.
Their eyes met for a moment, and Tang Song was nailed to the door, unable to move.
He just looked at Shen Ci like that, and for a moment he thought he was seeing things.
Chen Ci also raised her head slightly and looked at him. The expression on her face was not complicated, even a little thin, as if this situation had been within her expectations.
"Captain Tang?" A colleague beside him couldn't help but call out when he saw Tang Song standing there in a daze.
Tang Song quickly composed himself and turned to Captain Xue, saying, "I request to recuse myself!"
Captain Xue paused for a moment, then nodded without surprise.
He got the answer, so his expression was not shocked.
According to the Criminal Procedure Law, if the judges, prosecutors, and investigators have relatives, close relatives, or a vested interest in the case with the parties or witnesses to the case, they should apply for recusation.
This move is to ensure the fairness of the trial and adjudication of the case!
Captain Xue had never been sure that Chen Ci, whom he brought back, was Captain Tang's girlfriend, but Captain Tang's actions at this time clearly proved their relationship.
Tang Song looked at Chen Ci deeply, but due to his identity as a criminal police officer, he left the interrogation room without saying a word.
Captain Xue looked at Chen Ci and found that she was calm and had no reaction at all. Captain Tang's reaction just now was obviously that he knew nothing, but when they met here, Chen Ci could be so calm and composed!
He has such determination at such a young age, which really makes people admire him.
However, due to professional inertia, even though Shen Ci sat there without changing his expression, Captain Xue still said before asking, "Don't be nervous, just answer whatever we ask, and you can leave after that."
Shen Ci nodded.
Captain Xue: "When did you and Yan Wenxi meet?"
Shen Ci: “Last October.”
Captain Xue: "So we've only known each other for about half a year?"
Shen Ci: “Yes.”
Captain Xue: "You've only known each other for about half a year and you've already jointly acquired such a large business like 'Shuiyunjian'. It seems like you two have a very good relationship?"
Shen Ci: “Yes.”
Captain Xue: "Are they simply business partners who enjoy working together happily, or do they have some other relationship behind the scenes?"
Shen Ci: “He is my brother.”
Captain Xue: "Brother? What brother?"
Chen Ci: "He is my recognized brother, my foster brother."
Captain Xue: "Do you remember him ever mentioning anything about the past to you?"
Shen Ci: “No.”
Captain Xue: "Not even once? For example, when you were struggling in society or business, or when you made enemies with someone, didn't you?"
Chen Ci: "No, what we talked about most was the business we cooperated with each other. I don't know anything about his past."
During the questioning, Captain Xue kept staring into Shen Ci's eyes, trying to see some ups and downs in her eyes when Shen Ci was thinking and answering.
Because the human eye cannot deceive people.
But unfortunately, Shen Ci's eyes were clear and bright without any evasion, and his answers came out without any trace of thinking.
The reason why Chen Ci was so calm in the face of danger was because her brother told her: "Everything I can tell you is what you can tell me, and I won't tell you anything I can't tell you."
Because of this, Shen Ci knew that she didn't need to lie, and that what she said wouldn't threaten to harm her brother.
Please give me monthly tickets, babies!
