After leaving the interrogation room, Zheng Kaixuan, Zhao Ming, Tian Li, and the others also walked out of the observation room on the side.
Zheng Kaixuan reached out and patted Han Bin's shoulder. "Good job!"
Han Bin did not say anything. After returning to the office, he said, "Captain Zheng, you've heard the confession of this case. What do you think?"
"It's very difficult to find evidence, clues, and witnesses for a case from ten years ago. It's already very difficult to investigate the case to this point," Zheng Kaixuan said.
"I feel that Liang Zhibo is suspicious of avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial. Not only did he push the main responsibility of the 715 case to Cao Erhu, but he also said that Cao Erhu's death was justifiable defense." Zhao Ming shrugged his shoulders.
"If it wasn't to avoid the main responsibility of the 715 case, Liang Zhibo wouldn't have admitted to killing Cao Erhu. If we didn't get his confession, with the evidence we found in Cao Erhu's house, we wouldn't be able to prove that he killed Cao Erhu," Zheng Kaixuan said.
"Why would Liang Zhibo admit that he killed Cao Erhu? He could have said that Cao Erhu's ID was borrowed or stolen. Ten years have passed. As long as he doesn't take the initiative to confess, there's not enough evidence to convict him," Zhao Ming said.
In Cao Erhu's house, they didn't find enough evidence to convict him.
"If Liang Zhibo doesn't admit that he knows Cao Erhu, how can he push the main responsibility of the 715 case to the other party? You have to know that the nature of the 715 case is much worse. The main criminal will definitely be sentenced to death. Only by pushing the main responsibility to Cao Erhu can he live." In Zheng Kaixuan's view, the 715 case was the key.
"I don't think the two cases are directly related. Liang Zhibo only admitted that he was an accomplice in the 715 case and didn't admit that he killed Cao Erhu. Isn't that a lighter crime?" Sun Xiaopeng raised his doubts.
"Let's put it this way. When it comes to determining the principal and accomplices of the 715 case, in addition to the evidence, the attitude of confession is also very important. If you don't have a good attitude of confession, the police and the judge will not accept your confession. Although there is not enough evidence for Cao Erhu's death, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liang Zhibo is a great suspect. Only when he confesses to killing Cao Erhu can people believe his attitude of confession, and the police and the judge will believe his confession for the 715 case," Zheng Kaixuan said.
In other words, if Liang Zhibo did not take the initiative to confess to killing Cao Erhu and did not have a good attitude to plead guilty, the police and the court might not believe his testimony in the 715 case. He would then be designated as the principal criminal of the 715 case and be sentenced to death directly.
Liang Zhibo's only chance of survival was to be identified as an accomplice in the 715 case, and the incident of killing Cao Erhu would be identified as justifiable defense. Only if both were established would he have a chance of not being sentenced to death.
As long as one of them was not established, he would be sentenced to death.
Liang Zhibo was gambling. He was gambling on a chance to live.
"In the 715 case, is Liang Zhibo the principal criminal or an accomplice?" Tian Li couldn't help but ask.
"It's been ten years. It's hard to judge from the existing evidence, and I asked Liang Zhibo where the murder weapon was. Liang Zhibo said that it was disposed of by Cao Erhu. He didn't know where it was, so he pushed it to Cao Erhu," Han Bin said helplessly.
Even if there was not enough evidence, the attitude of the police would also affect the judge to a certain extent.
"What about the knife that killed Cao Erhu? He should know this, right? "Zhao Ming asked.
"He said that he threw it in the garbage dump at the entrance of the village. It's been ten years. Where are you going to find it?" Han Bin asked.
"Then was Cao Erhu killed by him?" Zhao Ming said.
"He must have killed him. He didn't go to the scene, but the details of the murder and the process are completely consistent with the scene. If he didn't kill him, how would he know this?" Li Hui said.
"Why do I feel that it was not a coincidence that Liang Zhibo was able to live until the end? Could it be that he took the initiative to kill Cao Erhu, and it was not justifiable defense as he said?" Sun Xiaopeng whispered.
"At that time, only the two of them were present, and ten years have passed. Cao Erhu is now only a pile of bones. Even the most basic autopsy can't be done. There is not enough evidence to prove that he killed Cao Erhu intentionally. It still depends on how the judge decides," Han Bin said.
"Alright, you guys don't have to waste your brains. This case ends here." Zheng Kaixuan set the tone.
"Will Liang Zhibo be sentenced to death?" Tian Li frowned.
"Definitely," Zheng Kaixuan said with certainty.
"I agree with Captain Zheng. Liang Zhibo should have some understanding of the law over the years. He knew that the principal criminal of the 715 case would definitely be sentenced to death, so he did everything possible to make the police believe that he was only an accomplice. He even took the initiative to confess that he killed Cao Erhu in self-defense. But he ignored one thing. In his case, it is almost impossible to be characterized as self-defense." Han Bin smiled and continued.
"Even if the 715 case convicted him as an accomplice, and self-defense is not established, he will still be sentenced to death."
"Yesterday, I saw a successful case of self-defense on the news. Will Liang Zhibo also be judged as self-defense by luck?" Tian Li said worriedly.
She felt that people like Liang Zhibo living was the greatest disrespect for the dead.
Zheng Kaixuan shook his head and smiled bitterly. "That's why it's on the news."
…
Everyone had a different purpose for the same thing.
Liang Zhibo's purpose was to live and escape the death penalty.
The police, on the other hand, wanted to catch the criminal, not only the murderer of the 715 case, but also the murderer who killed Cao Erhu.
Liang Zhibo's cleverness was that he knew what the police wanted.
If he did not take the initiative to confess to killing Cao Erhu, the case would not be closed, and the police would not accept his confession that he was an accomplice of the 715 case.
To him, this was a kind of transaction, each taking what he needed.
His failure was that he understood the law, but he did not understand the judge.
…
Han Bin felt very tired today. After returning home, he took a shower and lay on the bed to rest.
He also hoped that every time he investigated a case, he could find enough evidence to convict the suspect and give the victim an explanation.
But, this is impossible.
There was not only black and white in the world.
It was impossible for every case to be investigated thoroughly.
Just like the 715 case and Cao Erhu's murder case, Han Bin believed that Liang Zhibo must have hidden something. But the case had happened ten years ago, and the evidence and clues had been destroyed over time. He could only try his best.
Arresting Liang Zhibo and letting him face the court's trial could also be considered as giving the victim an explanation.
Han Bin could also do it with a clear conscience.
"Congratulations, Officer 577533, for solving a major murder case in the investigation of an old case!"
"Awarded 25 merit points."
"Micro-expression analysis: Proficiency + 4."
"Footprints identification: Proficiency + 3."
"Received an extra big gift bag."
"What big gift bag?" Han Bin smiled. He was still looking forward to the big gift bag. This was also the system's recognition of him.
