Relying on his own status, connections, and relationship with Zhou Mo, Yu Zhiming was able to meet Zhou Mo smoothly after arriving at the City Public Security Bureau.
Seeing Zhou Mo's haggard face and bloodshot eyes, Yu Zhiming couldn't help but feel soft in his heart and asked, "Why didn't you contact me immediately after such a big thing happened?"
Zhou Mo smiled bitterly and said, "After all, a life was lost in public, and the police will enforce the law impartially. I told you and Qing Ning, but I'm just worried about them too."
"Also, considering Qing Ning's current situation, it's always better to find out later."
She forced a smile and said, "I've also met with a lawyer. He said my case is manslaughter, and since the other party was at fault, I'll be sentenced to a maximum of three years."
"If you behave well in there, you'll be out in a year or two. It's pretty quick."
Zhou Mo pretended to be regretful and said, "It's a pity that I can no longer be your assistant, Doctor Yu."
Yu Zhiming felt uncomfortable and changed the subject, "Tell me the details of what happened first."
Zhou Mo said softly, "What happened was simple. Ju Tian and I rushed to the private room of the Rose Club where the fashion editor was staying and met and talked with several of his friends in the fashion circle."
"Everyone was having fun, singing and playing games occasionally, and time flew by..."
Yu Zhiming interrupted and asked, "Did you drink?"
Zhou Mo shook his head and said, "I did try to persuade them, but after my insistence and bringing up your great god, they gave up."
"But later..."
Zhou Mo's voice turned cold, and he said, "That guy came in with a few men. He claimed to be the owner of the Rose Club. Not only did he reek of alcohol, but he also had a lewd look on his face."
"He insisted I have a few drinks and tried to get physical with me."
"Of course I refused. We started with a verbal conflict, and then we started fighting."
Yu Zhiming interrupted again and asked, "Who started it first?"
Zhou Mo replied, "It was me. He tried to touch my face, so I slapped him, and then there was a big fight."
"After fighting for a while, there was a terrifying scream that made us all stop..."
At this point, Zhou Mo's face turned pale. "I saw the club owner lying on the floor, with blood spurting out from his neck three to five meters high, even reaching the ceiling."
When Yu Zhiming heard this, some hope ignited in his heart, and he quickly interrupted and asked, "Maybe someone else accidentally hurt him?"
Zhou Mo shook his head and said, "That guy was wearing red clothes, which was quite eye-catching. I clearly remember that I kicked him out with a kick, and I saw him rolling on the floor a few times."
"It was these rolls that caused the broken bottle fragments on the floor to cut his carotid artery."
Zhou Mo emphasized again: "I can confirm that the blow that caused him to suffer a fatal accident was given by me."
She spread her hands again and said, "Doctor Yu, there were several witnesses at the scene. I can't deny it even if I want to."
Yu Zhiming was silent for a moment, then said, "As you said, he died because of your negligence. Plus, he was the one who wanted to molest you in the first place, so the court will definitely give him a light sentence."
"Zhou Mo, I will use my connections to hire a very powerful and well-known lawyer team to defend you."
Zhou Mo said: "Thank you."
She pleaded again: "Doctor Yu, my mother's..."
Yu Zhiming said: "I know what you are worried about. I will pay more attention to Aunt Zhou."
"But don't worry too much. Aunt Zhou is stronger than you think. You have to take care of yourself first."
Zhou Mo nodded and said, "Don't worry, even if the sentence is five or ten years, I won't collapse."
"My heart is also very strong..."
Yu Zhiming encouraged Zhou Mo again and left the interrogation room where Zhou Mo was detained.
He asked the police station's case handlers to see the surveillance video at the time, but was told that there was no surveillance in the private room.
Only then did Yu Zhiming realize that the state only required the installation of closed-circuit television surveillance equipment at the entrances and exits and main passages of entertainment venues, and ensured that the closed-circuit television surveillance equipment operated normally during business hours without interruption.
However, the country does not have mandatory requirements for installing surveillance in private rooms.
Yu Zhiming also requested to examine the body of the deceased.
After the case handlers consulted, Yu Zhiming was taken to the forensic examination room of the branch.
The body of a man who looked to be in his forties or fifties, with a pale body and quite strong body, lay on the examination table.
Yu Zhiming could see a fairly clear slap mark on the right cheek of the corpse.
It seems that Zhou Mo's palm strike was quite powerful.
Yu Zhiming also judged from the shape and muscles of the body that this guy had the habit of lifting weights to keep fit.
His attention was focused on the neck of the corpse.
Yu Zhiming saw a total of seven cuts of varying sizes on the chin and neck.
One of them was the most hideous and terrifying. Not only did the cut skin turn inside out, but the blood vessels, as thick as a little finger, were also cut open for more than half, leaving a gaping wound...
Yu Zhiming reached out to touch the wound...
The accompanying forensic doctor and another investigator tried to stop him at the same time, but in the end, no one said anything.
Yu Zhiming carefully felt the wound on the corpse's neck while constructing a picture in his mind...
A man in red rolled on the floor, his neck accidentally running over a broken piece of wine bottle...
But soon, Yu Zhiming began to have doubts.
Judging from the fatal wound on the deceased's neck, he must have been cut by a very straight and sharp piece of glass.
However, the edges of large pieces of wine bottle fragments are irregular and curved.
The wound caused by pressing on the neck should be in the shape of a canine tooth, not like this, a neat wound like a sharp knife.
The discovery of the suspicious points boosted Yu Zhiming's morale and prompted him to investigate more carefully.
After a while, he made another important discovery.
The other small wounds on the corpse's neck were irregular wounds that started from the left and ended on the right.
The only fatal wound was a cut from right to left.
Yu Zhiming checked repeatedly and confirmed that his findings were correct. He said excitedly, "I can confirm that the death was not caused by Zhou Mo's negligence."
"He was murdered deliberately."
"The killer was one of the other people who were at the scene."
After Yu Zhiming shared his two main findings, he added, "Because of my relationship with Zhou Mo, you may have doubts about my judgment. You can ask a forensic expert who is proficient in wound identification to come and conduct further evaluation."
The accompanying investigator said, "Doctor Yu, we naturally trust your abilities. However, your judgment indicates that this is not a case of manslaughter, but has been upgraded to intentional homicide or murder."
"This is serious, I need to report it immediately..."
