Live with the forensic chief

Zhang Yong has a certain understanding of Lin Pu's occupation. When Lin Pu mentioned that he had stayed in Haitan Law Firm for a while during the process of recording his statement, Zhang Yong vaguely remembered: "Did you give a suspect to me before?" You were quite famous at the time for defending innocence. Your name is not so common, so I seem to have seen you somewhere."

"Forgot." Lin Pu said, "I took a lot of cases when I was in Haitan."

Zhang Yong nodded, feeling that Lin Pu is not a simple person.Therefore, when Lin Pu raised these questions, he was very willing to accept Lin Pu's opinion.

Lin Pu began to describe his thoughts.

"You'd better let them go to another room after the interrogation is over. There are too many of them, so it's best not to stay together. Otherwise, the first person will easily tell the second person the content, when they can't communicate with the outside at all. Anxiety and mistrust will make it easier to speak up. We interrogated each other separately in different rooms. Even if the two people are not guilty of the same crime, the one who tells the confession can get a commutation or even release, which is used to guide them to confess and not let them Lying in groups is similar to the principle of the prisoner's dilemma. Because they are simple-minded, as long as one person can pry them, they can basically pry them all."

Zhang Yong looked up at him, raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise: "...you can, but you..."

"I can try." Lin Pu said, "You may not be able to interrogate all these people, nor can you control them. During the best prime time of the interrogation, the most important thing is to guide them to tell the truth. Method."

Lin Pu took out a book. When he was resting in the car, he had already started to prepare some: "I have singled out a few key people. Take a look at the order of interrogation I arranged."

He made a pyramid-shaped classification list, so that the distribution of rights can be seen at a glance. Although it is only tentative and temporary, it will be rearranged at any time during the course of the case.

"Most of the people in the village are 'executors', and the people from the village committee at that time were the biggest 'demanders', but these villagers are not innocent, and it can even be said to be worse. Pan Xianzheng is involved in this matter What is satisfied is his own desire for control, and although these villagers seem to be implementing his request, what is satisfied is their own greed."

"They get two benefits from it." Lin Pu compared "two", "one is the property they got from Yang Xiuqi, including the division of his land and resources afterward, and the other is the seal they got from Pan Xianzheng fee."

"So the direction of the investigation can be placed on 'profit'." Zhang Yong felt that his thoughts became clearer, and he took the name from Lin Pu's hand to read it again, "As long as one of them is obtained Those who have received two benefits will meet the conditions involved in this case and need to be investigated. If both benefits are obtained, then they are the key persons involved in the case."

"Yes." Lin Pu nodded and said, "Secondly, the interrogation can be carried out in such a way as from the key involved persons to the lightly involved persons, and then to the key involved persons. There are many smart people among them. After understanding our rules, they may think of some There are other ways to deal with it, we don't give them this time."

Zhang Yong thought about it, and said: "Okay, let us inform you to open two more rooms together, all information will be shared immediately, and everyone in this village must be interrogated tonight. Also, the villagers are familiar with the terrain here, and all the village entrances Don't relax your vigilance, especially in the middle of the night!"

"The list of personnel should also be adjusted." Lin Pu said, "We put the important people in the back row."

Next, groups of people began to enter the room.Zhang Yong was interrogated alone, and Lin Pu Shumeng and Fu Meijia were in the same room as the recorder.

During this time, Lin Pu devoted himself to playing the role of a victim of perennial incidents, and faded away his calmness, indifference and alienation. He shrank his shoulders slightly, and turned on the actor-level acting skills to play a weak, pitiful and helpless person. Set up, try to minimize your own sense of existence.

The hours of interrogation were tedious, and most of the time the police would ask the same questions, such as "Do you know him?" "Did there be a fire here eight years ago in August" and "What was the cause of the fire?" What" type of question.

As Lin Pu expected, they may indeed have unified their caliber in private.The answers to basic questions are "don't know" and "don't remember".Lin Pu expected this and was not surprised.

According to the list provided by Lin Pu, these unimportant or hard-to-talk people were put into the room alone after interrogation, and held in twos and threes. The time passed by every minute and every second, and it was almost 11:30 in the evening.Lin Pu glanced at his watch and felt that it was almost there.

"Bring this one named Feng Chen up alone." Lin Pu clicked on the list with a pen.

"He's been interrogated." Fu Mei reminded, "Didn't he always refuse to say anything?"

"Try again." Lin Pu put down his pen, and said to Mei, "I observed him just now, he is impatient and impatient. He must have reached the limit when he is locked in the room. Don't let him relax, just ask him to set the fire alone." The problem."

"Okay." Fu Mei ordered outside the door, "Bring people here!"

Lin Pu had a deep impression on Feng Chen because of his obvious appearance.During the interrogation today, the first time he saw Feng Chen, he thought that Feng Chen must be among the group of people who tied him up and prevented him from entering during the fire.

As for why they chose him, Lin Pu and Shu Meng had a private discussion and felt that he was a breakthrough.

As expected, Feng Chen was sleepy and anxious when he was interrogated again at [-] o'clock in the middle of the night, and he looked completely different from the person who didn't know anything in the afternoon.

"When can I leave?" Feng Chen said impatiently, "I'm hungry and sleepy, and I've been in this room for four hours!"

"You can leave after asking." Fu Mei tapped the book with a pen.

"I don't fucking know anything, Officer Fu!" Feng Chen shouted with red eyes, "I don't remember you asking me a hundred times, what do you mean by locking me up all the time? Ah? Everyone's neighbors, are you? I’ve been here for more than two years, have you seen me break the law? Why am I such a law-abiding and good citizen, why was I imprisoned in the police station for so long today!”

Fu Mei ignored his angry shouts, and said unhurriedly: "Your companion has already recalled some details for you. If your confession is true, we will consider your confession attitude as appropriate."

Of course Feng Chen was unmoved: "I don't have any details to recall! Because I don't know at all!"

Fu Mei repeated the same question several times. Although Feng Chen was extremely irritable, his tone was still tight.Lin Pu waited until he finally got a little irritable, and Youyou said, "Your companion has already said that Pan Xianzheng and the others will send money to you people who knew about it back then as hush money, tens of thousands of yuan a year."

As soon as these words came out, Feng Chen immediately froze in place, his expression froze.

Lin Pu secretly clenched his fists, thinking he was right.

They had guessed before that Pan Xianzheng might give these people some hush money, tens of thousands of yuan was just random nonsense from Lin Pu.Because no matter whether there is this amount or not, if it is less, it will be regarded as not being investigated clearly, and if it is too much, the trust between peers will become a problem.

"I still don't admit it yet!" Fu Mei took the opportunity to take the case and said, "Everyone else has said it, but you don't admit it! You know that I can add another grade to your crime by not cooperating with the investigation. Do you think that Pan Xianzheng can still do it now? Sitting here to support you?"

"Just tell me." Lin Pu looked at him seriously, "At that time you grabbed my arm and prevented me from entering the fire. Did Pan Xianzheng ask you to do this? What else did he ask you to do? Finished speaking, You can go back."

Shu Meng glanced at his watch: "It's already twelve o'clock, and I'm a little sleepy."

It may be that the words "can go back" moved Feng Chen's heart so much, he began to respond to Lin Pu's words: "...I followed others to do it. At that time, I just moved gasoline barrels and lit fires. I didn't do anything else. That's right, no wonder the fuck gave them more money. I only caught you and didn't let you in. Pan Xianzheng and Yu Wei only gave me a few yuan and a few acres of land later. Don't care about us."

"How many people were there?" Fu Mei asked.

"I was the three who carried the fire bucket and poured gasoline, and the others were a few strong men from our village at that time." Feng Chen said, "A few of them left, leaving the old man in the village, and they don't know if they will come back."

Lin Pu didn't expect it to go so smoothly, so he secretly exchanged a glance with Shu Meng.Fu Mei took advantage of the victory and pursued, "Report your name to me!"

Feng Chen was a little confused: "Haven't you all asked them?"

He seemed to wake up a little immediately: "You lied to me?"

"The police asked you something! What does it mean to cheat you!" Fu Mei stood up, pointed at him, and said, "Sit down calmly!"

Feng Chen was obviously a little shaken, he looked at Fu Mei with a suspicious look on his face.

"Feng Chen." Shu Meng, who had been silently watching the whole process, leaned over to look at him.

After his name was called, Feng Chen's attention came to the handsome man next to him whose legs had nowhere to rest and were exposed outside the chair.Shu Meng's oppressive force is not exposed like Fu Mei's, his voice is low, and there are echoes in the small room, every sound falls into his ears and sinks into his heart.

"You have confessed to the crime just now. This is a very correct choice. You must know that other police officers are interrogating your companions next to this wall." Shumeng said, "In this case, if you and your companions Plead guilty, and you may only be prosecuted for a lesser crime of endangering public safety. Oh, don't you understand? It doesn't matter, in short, you and your partner pleaded guilty together, so you can mitigate the crime Yes. But, in this case, as you said just now, there are three people..."

"So, we now have one more person. Now the problem is that the three of you plead guilty together, and you may be able to reduce your sentence or be innocent. Once one person pleads not guilty, whether it is you or the other two, you may face more serious accountability. , understand what I mean?" Schumeng said, "We will sue you for intentional homicide, and you will spend the rest of your life in prison. You have to be clear, you recognize the people on the list' "Crime" is not the "case" that the police want to investigate. Your accomplices who are being interrogated in other rooms can only have a chance of mitigation if you tell us your name clearly and clearly. We are giving you a chance now. Plead guilty."

Shu Meng crossed his arms and leaned on the back of the chair, not wanting to give him time to think: "Okay, since you are so uncooperative. Now, we are waiting for the last person to be interrogated. Do you think he will plead guilty?" ?”

Just as Feng Chen was about to speak, Shu Meng winked at Fu Mei.Fu Mei said: "Okay, you stop here first, take it down!"

The police outside came in and pulled Feng Chen's arm to make him leave. Feng Chen was still a little confused and was about to go out.Fu Mei said "bring the next one", Feng Chen's voice sounded in the corridor: "I said!!! I said!!!"

Fu Mei gave Lin Pu a thumbs up, and shouted, "Bring it in and tell me!"

Feng Chen said in the room: "...the other two are Sun Xiaojun and Wang Hao!"

……

Lin Pu rearranged the list of pyramids by circling them with pens. Among the two people who paid the report, one was not in the village, and the one named Sun Xiaojun was in the village. Not to others.

Feng Chen was temporarily detained, but as soon as the news came, someone outside said that Sun Xiaojun could not be found anymore.

"Run away?" Zhang Yong shouted when he found out, "I knew her mother must have been run away! Chase me!"

At night, several waves of people went to the village to rummage.It was already past one o'clock in the evening, and most of the interrogation work had been carried out, but it could only be said that it was just beginning to take shape, and the progress was still slow.

Lin Pu was a little tired. Although he tried his best, he couldn't avoid the physical difficulties.There was strong tea in the police station, and he and Shumeng made a cup, but Shumeng didn't want him to drink it.

"You have a break." Shu Meng said, "The police will definitely not be able to finish the interrogation tonight. There are so many old, weak, sick and disabled who still need to rest. If something happens to one or two, who will be responsible."

"...We'll rest when they rest." Lin Pu yawned with tears in his eyes.

As he was talking, Fu Mei came over and said: "Sun Xiaojun found it and wanted to get out of the village from the wall, but we found it in time and caught him back. It's too late now, and many people can't bear it and are going to rest first. Since several key The character has already been arrested, and the others are just a matter of time. We have to contact the Haitan police in the morning tomorrow. I heard that Pan Xian is coming back. So what Team Zhang means is that everyone should rest first. Hey, where do you two sleep? "

"We'll find a place to sleep," Schumeng said. "Don't worry."

"I originally told you to go to my house to deal with it overnight." Fu Mei said, "Well, let's disband on the spot first, and the others can only wait until tomorrow. We will gather here at six o'clock tomorrow and try to get everything done in the morning. over."

After Fu Mei left, Shu Meng said, "Look, let me tell."

"Then go and rest." Lin Pu was really sleepy and had a headache. He had two visits with Shu Meng last night and the night before, and he hasn't recovered yet.

After Shu Meng got in the car, he searched the map and planned to find a hotel to live in.Once Lin Pu relaxed, he was already staggering from sleepiness, with his head hanging on the left side of the co-pilot facing Shu Meng and his eyes closed. If he didn't wear a seat belt, he would have slipped out of the seat.

"Baby." Shu Meng raised his hand and rubbed his head, worried, "There is a guest house nearby, can we live there?"

"...The police should all live there." Lin Pu said in a daze, "I don't want to go."

"That's right." Shu Meng didn't want to drive tired, so he drove a few kilometers to find a hotel, slept for two or three hours and got up again.

"Just sleep in the car for a while." Lin Pu opened the window, "It's just as long as we don't get bored to death. It's only a few hours before we leave at six o'clock tomorrow morning."

Schumeng helped him recline the chair and gave him the soft cushions in the back seat to sleep on.Lin Pu reached out and grabbed his arm, pulling him through the gap in the middle: "Thank you."

"Thank you." Shu Meng also lay flat and asked in a low voice.

"Thank you for being so kind to me, and thank you for your hard work." Lin Pu closed his eyes, "Thank you."

Shu Meng's hand touched his shoulder, then his neck and cheek.Lin Pu breathed evenly after a while, Shu Meng brushed his forehead away and closed his eyes.
