Three days later, in an office of the Fu Lai City Police Station in Fu Lai Province.
"Team Leader, we've checked everything carefully. There's nothing wrong with the case from beginning to end!" Zeng Ke handed Zhao Yu a document. The content of this document was all about a robbery, rape, and murder case!
It turned out that after Zhao Yu solved the hanging coffin case, he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he fulfilled his promise and came to Fu Lai City to investigate the case of a man driving a large truck into a police van!
When Zhao Yu was on his way to the yacht to investigate Lin Chengye, he encountered a deliberate car accident.
After investigation, the driver of the large truck complained that the court's decision was unfair and that the three criminals who killed his wife were not sentenced to death.
At that time, Zhao Yu also felt that the court's decision was unfair.
The reason given by the hospital was that the three criminals were mentally ill and the death penalty was not applicable, so the sentence was commuted to life imprisonment and mandatory treatment.
Zhao Yu thought that if the criminals really had mental problems, then random killings could be explained.
However, the three of them clearly robbed and killed the truck driver's wife. Judging from this point alone, they were completely premeditated. They should bear the corresponding legal responsibility and be sentenced to death!
At that time, Zhao Yu had told Cui Lizhu that once the hanging coffin case was over, he would personally investigate it to see if there was anything fishy about the case.
Now, Zhao Yu had come, but the results of the investigation were not what he had expected.
"According to the families and neighbors of the criminals," Zeng Ke reported according to the investigation report, "the three murderers all had certain mental problems. This is a well-known fact in the village. Two of them occasionally had small violent tendencies!
However, because their families were too poor, they had no money to see a doctor, so the three of them had been left unattended.
On weekdays, the three of them often got together and wandered around. The villagers were used to it, so they basically ignored them. But no one would have thought that the three of them had committed such a big crime!
"According to their own testimonies, one of the three murderers had watched some violent movies. When the three of them were playing together, this person often mentioned those violent scenes and encouraged the other two to wait for the right opportunity to do the same thing in the movies!" Zhao Yu said.
"In the end, one day not long after that, the victim drove through their village. Because there was something wrong with his car, he stopped by the side of the road in their village for inspection.
"At this time, three people happened to see it. The three of them didn't discuss it and acted according to their plan. They robbed and raped the victim. In the end, they even brutally killed the victim with a brick!"
"This … this is not a problem?" Cui Lizhu was instantly annoyed. "This is simply beastly behavior!"
"The process of the three of them killing the victim was witnessed by the couple who opened the store. The couple hurriedly went forward with a hoe and chased the three of them away. But when they called for the ambulance, the victim had already lost all signs of life!
"Then, the police officers who arrived first immediately arrested the three people and brought them to justice. They also found the victims' belongings at the scene.
"Later, through the evidence collected by the police, it was proven that the three suspects were indeed the murderers of the victim. The three of them also confessed to the robbery, rape, and murder!
"At first, the case was very clear. But, when the prosecutor's office officially prosecuted and tried the case, they found that the three of them suffered from mental problems.
"So, they invited a professional psychiatrist to conduct a psychiatric evaluation on the three of them. The results showed that the three of them suffered from different degrees of mental illness. Some were anxious, and some were prone to auditory hallucinations. Moreover, all three of them suffered from intermittent mental illness. They had a certain level of cognitive ability, but they were different from normal people!"
"In view of the results of the evaluation, the court ruled that, according to the criminal law, a mental patient who had not completely lost his ability to recognize or control his own behavior should bear criminal responsibility if he committed a crime. However, he could be given a lighter or mitigated punishment."
"So, the court finally ruled that the three victims were not sentenced to death, but had to bear a life sentence."
"But, in fact, according to the rules of the prison, such criminals are usually sent to a designated place for compulsory treatment first. Only when the effect is obvious will they be transferred to prison to serve their sentence …"
"How … How could this be …" Cui Lizhu was depressed. "Doesn't this mean that after they killed someone, not only did they not have to pay with their life, but they also got free medical treatment? That's … That's too unfair … "
"It's not that unfair …" Wu Xiumin said helplessly. "Speaking of which, the guardians also have to bear some responsibility, and they also have to pay civil compensation!"
"What's the use of compensation if the person is dead?" Cui Lizhu was still unconvinced. "No wonder the victim's husband drove a big truck to hit the prison van!"
Ran Tao then said to Zhao Yu, "Boss, we investigated the backgrounds of those three people, and the basic situation is that their families all wanted them to go missing one day!
He then added, "It's no exaggeration to say that after such a big thing happened, the families even hoped that the court would sentence them to death!"
"Yes, these three people's families are all low-income families," Zeng Ke agreed. "None of their relatives are officials or rich, so there's no such thing as spending money to buy their lives or obstructing justice!"
"So, this kind of punishment is also based on humanitarianism!" Wu Xiumin patted Cui Lizhu on the shoulder and said, "I believe that, from a personal point of view, including the judge himself, he also hopes that the murderer will get what he deserves. But, the law is the law, and it can't be changed by our own will!"
"Then …" Zhao Yu asked Zeng Ke, "What about the driver who hit the victim?"
"He's still in custody," Zeng Ke replied. "He's facing multiple charges, but due to the complexity of the situation, the police are still communicating with the prosecutor's office! Fortunately, the people who were hit were not seriously injured or killed. But, even so, it's impossible for him to be exempted from prison! "
"Um … I understand!" Zhao Yu said dejectedly. "Since there's no problem with the case, our goal has been achieved!
"Okay, everyone, let's adjust our mentality!" Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, "Tonight, the leaders of the provincial office will hold a banquet to celebrate our success. Everyone has worked hard, so it's time to relax!"
"Boss, I don't want to go," Cui Lizhu said, crossing her arms. "When I think of the victim who died a tragic death, I can think of her son and daughter. Her mother was killed, and now her father is going to prison. It's so pitiful …"
"Um … Don't …" Zhao Yu wanted to persuade her, but in fact, his heart was tied up because of this matter.
"Beep beep …" Just as Zhao Yu was thinking of what to say, his phone suddenly rang.
He opened it and saw that Miao Ying had sent him a text message. There were only four words in the message: "Hurry up and watch TV!"
"TV?" Zhao Yu scratched his head and muttered to everyone, "What does that mean? Miao Ying told me to watch TV! "
"Really?" Ran Tao said quickly. "Is it because our heroic deeds of solving the hanging coffin case are on the news? TV … Look, is there a close-up of me? "
"There's no TV!" Wu Xiumin said, pointing to the office.
"I do, I do …" Zeng Ke hurriedly turned on his tablet computer and said, "There's a live TV broadcast here, but I don't know which channel to watch."
"Turn it on first …" Ran Tao urged. "I think it should be at least the Fu Lai Provincial Television Station, right?"
"Okay, okay …"
Zeng Ke quickly turned on the computer and turned on the provincial television station.
As a result, the TV was indeed playing a piece of news.
