"Are you still worried about the case?" Liu Shuyuan brought a bowl of noodles with three eggs and placed it on Bai Song's table. "Eat this."
"Is everyone taking a break?" Bai Song pinched his temple and put down the materials in his hand.
These are Yao Xin’s junior high and high school files, as well as recordings of Yao Xin’s teachers’ oral statements—the various departments have just contacted each other.
"Everyone is resting, you are the only one missing." Liu Shuyuan paused and said, "And me, I will go to sleep right away."
"Well, this case is no longer urgent. The person has been caught." Bai Song rubbed his face with his hands and then asked, "Did you eat?"
"I ate it." Liu Shuyuan seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Bai Song picked up the chopsticks, picked up the noodles, tilted his head and blew them with his mouth. Seeing Liu Shuyuan's expression, he couldn't help but pause: "What's wrong?"
"I feel like you're feeling a little uncomfortable." Liu Shuyuan said, "I understand why you're feeling uncomfortable."
Just as Bai Song was about to speak, he heard Liu Shuyuan's next sentence, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and then he paused. That is, he paused for half a second, then lowered his head, blew on the noodles, and before he put them in his mouth, Bai Song said: "We are law enforcement..."
The rest was eaten with noodles.
…
Bai Song has figured out this case, it's a complete tragedy.
The revolt of the silent.
Bai Song has heard of this kind of case, which often occurs in divorced families and divorced and re-formed families.
If PUA is a method of mind control that has only gradually emerged now, this so-called fatherly behavior has existed since ancient times.
The most important thing is that the so-called brother in this kind of family really didn’t inherit any good genes.
Bai Song remembered an old saying: Either perish in silence or explode in silence.
Violence is not the best way to eliminate hatred - similarly, revenge can never heal the damage. (Note 1) However, violence is indeed the most effective and direct way to solve problems.
The case has been determined to be legitimate defense, and Yao Xin's stabbing to death of Yao Lei was not criminally responsible according to the law. Although Bai Song suspected that Yao Xin had the ability to stop Yao Lei from succeeding, he still determined that it was legitimate defense. The scene was there, and it was not something that could be determined based on Bai Song's suspicion. Moreover, the incident did happen, and Yao Lei was indeed...
For Yao Xin, her mental problems at this point were no longer necessarily fake. She had paid too much for this outcome.
Of course, the mental state at the moment is not a reason to prevent the illegality of the killing of Yao.
…
Regarding the murder of Yao, Yao Xin is a major suspect and has been placed under criminal detention. Because Yao Xin is mentally unstable, a mental evaluation has been requested - the time for the mental evaluation is not included in the length of criminal detention.
The case will take at least a month to handle, so there is no need to rush.
"You know the law better than I do. In this situation, will Yao Xin die?" Liu Shuyuan asked.
"No." Bai Song's spirits improved a little: "Although it is murder, the subjective malice is not to the point of being unforgivable."
"Really?" Liu Shuyuan asked.
"Really." Bai Song then took a big mouthful of noodles, filling his entire mouth.
…
The bureau attaches great importance to the case and has recently assigned personnel to help the Xijing Branch investigate related clues. No matter what, the truth of this case must come to light.
…
Watching Bai Song finish his meal and lie down, Liu Shuyuan unexpertly cleaned up the dishes and left the room.
Bai Song had a dream, in which he became an ancient judge who was as good as a god in solving cases.
There is a big difference between the ancient and modern systems, that is, judicial power and administrative power are all held by one person. For example, the county magistrate can not only order the head of the police to arrest people, but also directly judge the case and impose punishment. He does it all by himself from beginning to end.
Under this system, if the county magistrate is truly a good official, then the entire county will be good.
If the county magistrate is incompetent... and in that era, the probability of incompetence...
It is also because of this that having a Justice Bao in that era was everyone’s dream.
In the dream, he transformed into thousands of different incarnations, and in different courts, he was always dedicated to the public and never showed favoritism, but he could only sigh and complain.
Bai Song has read a lot of history books and knows what those times were like. Many people believe that history only has two states: living and working in peace and contentment, or continuous wars. They believe that either people can have enough food and clothing, or people eat each other. In fact, most of the time, oppression and being oppressed are constantly repeated.
In his dreams, he saw many tragedies, much more tragic than the one that happened to Yao Xin.
Behead! In the dream, Bai Song threw down a warrant.
"My Lord Magistrate, please spare my life..." A woman who had killed her father knelt on the ground and cried.
"Hmph." Bai Song snorted angrily, his mind also reverted to the ancient times: "A son killed his father, it is a heinous crime, this county has sentenced you to death, which is considered to be kind!"
As the woman slowly raised her head, Bai Song was a little shocked. This... this is Yao Xin.
I woke up from the dream.
"What were you dreaming about?" Wang Huadong was playing with his mobile phone opposite Bai Song. When he saw Bai Song wake up, he asked.
"Ah?" Bai Song was still a little confused: "What time is it now?"
"What time?" Wang Huadong took out his phone and looked at it. "Three quarters past five in the evening."
"What?" Bai Song shook his head and spoke in English.
"It's almost six."
"So early?" Bai Song narrowed his eyes again and then realized that it was six o'clock in the afternoon.
He took a nap in the morning, but he didn't expect to sleep for such a long time.
"Everyone is awake. You slept the latest and no one disturbed you." Wang Huadong took out his mobile phone and sent WeChat messages to his brothers. After a while, everyone came over.
Bai Song had already sat up by this time, boiled some water in the electric kettle, and took out some tea leaves from the cabinet.
Wang Huadong was playing with his phone and didn't pay much attention to Bai Song. But when he saw Bai Song preparing to make tea, he became curious because he rarely saw Bai Song making tea. He couldn't help but take a closer look. Then his eyes widened: "Why do your tea leaves look so familiar???"
"Ah?" Bai Song was startled by Wang Huadong's sudden loud words. He thought for a moment and said, "You gave it to me before."
"I gave it to you???" Wang Huadong was completely dumbfounded. If he remembered correctly, Bai Song took a can of tea from him three years ago.
"Well, I think it's still drinkable." Bai Song took out a few cups and put a little tea leaves in each cup.
"No, you guys drink it, I'll just drink boiled water." Wang Huadong waved his hands repeatedly.
"Why are you so polite to me?" Bai Song was a little confused. "It's okay. There's still half a can left. If you don't drink it, you'll grow hair."
After saying that, Bai Song pinched some more into Huadong's cup.
