Chapter 279 Old Cases
A few days later, in response to the current focus of public opinion, Tommy, who claimed to be a member of the illegal justice, began the trial.The prosecution presented testimony, evidence.Including the guns that matched the ballistics at the scene of the attack by the eight gunmen. The guns were found in Tommy's home, with Tommy's fingerprints on them.

Liang Shengun was right again, and the second trial was held, and the defense lawyer provided witnesses.It turns out that at the time of the eight gunmen's attack, Tommy was having a tryst with a woman in a motel ten kilometers away.The surveillance of the motel, the owner of the motel, and a truck driver who almost had a physical conflict with Tommy all proved that Tommy was in the motel when the incident occurred.

The trial was interrupted, and police technicians confirmed that Tommy was in the motel at that time based on surveillance and testimony.Why are the guns in Tommy's house?Why are there fingerprints on it?Tommy's response was that he had been framed.

The police found Tommy based on the information provided by Kunta.Tommy said that the information provided by Kunta was correct, but Kunta misunderstood.At that time, I left because I received a call from this woman and went to a motel to have a tryst with her.So how do you explain yourself admitting to being one of the eight shooters and being a member of Outlaw Justice?Tommy explained that when he knew that he had been framed, he adjusted his mentality.In order to prevent the false accusers from erasing the evidence that could prove his innocence, he confessed to the crime and threw out the guise of illegal justice in order to paralyze the false accusers.It turns out he succeeded.

Is the claim that Sieber was attacked true or false?Tommy replied that he just randomly ordered someone he knew that everyone didn't like.He doesn't know illegal justice, and naturally there is no plan to attack Siber.Tommy said that after being freed, he will take a leave of absence for himself and then return to work in the police force.

Tommy was acquitted two days later, and the police said they would investigate further into the details of the case.Three days after Tommy was released, the body of a middle-aged man named Navi was found next to a large trash can at the back door of a bar.The cause of death was shooting. The gunman shot Nawei in the front at about three meters, and the bullet penetrated the heart.After Navey fell to the ground, the gunman shot him in the head.

Weiner is a criminal who has entered the palace three times. At first, he thought it was only vendetta or robbery.But after comparing the ballistics, it was found that the gun that shot Nawei turned out to be one of the guns used by the eight gunmen.

Liang Xi was right again, the target of illegal justice was not Siber, but someone else.However, Liang Xi has been paying attention to major cases since he was a child. He has never heard of Weiner, so he asked Baker to find out.

Weiner is a jerk, but he just downloads and watches, and it's not Weiner's turn to get rid of illegal justice.This declaration is too weak.Liang Xi didn't understand, neither did Dao Feng. Dao Feng's Yisha and Robert went to the Southern District Criminal Investigation Department to cooperate in the investigation of Weiner's case, and they couldn't understand the reason why Weiner was killed illegally and justly.

It was eleven o'clock at night when Fiona found a website.The homepage of the website is the news of Wiener's murder plus pictures, and many people left messages to celebrate, saying that justice has finally come.Someone else said: Don't forget that Thompson is a scumbag.The server for this website is in Sweden and the website is called Waiting for Justice.

When he saw the name Thompson, Liang Xi knew why Weiner died.

Thompson is the youngest murderer in British history. In 1993, ten-year-old Thompson and a classmate brutally murdered a two-year-old boy to death. The process was extremely cruel. This case shocked the whole of Europe.In the news report, the TV station sent out real photos of them because they were outraged that they did not take care of their status as minors.They are also the youngest murderers in British history.

At that time, the judge recommended a sentence of eight years, the jury involved in the trial recommended ten years, and the Home Secretary recommended fifteen years.At that time, the British Prime Minister publicly stated his attitude on the case: We should condemn more, not forgive more.People's calls for their rejuvenation were so firm that there was even a group calling for their execution.The fact that politicians dare to show such a tough attitude towards underage criminals speaks for itself.

In the end they were sentenced to ten years in prison, because they were minors, they still received education in prison, and they were released on parole at the age of 18.

After parole, they and their families were given new identities under the rules for the protection of minors.The information pulled out by the criminal investigation department shows that Weiner is the new identity of one of the criminals. He has not stopped committing crimes and has been in prison three times.The other person disappeared without any information.

Here is an explanation of the witness protection system. Assuming that Weiner committed a crime, the system will search for his fingerprints and match them with the sealed files, and the investigators will get the sealed files.Assuming Weiner is killed, the information will be fed back to the witness protection system, and the staff of the witness protection system will decide whether to explain to the police.

The next person to die must be Thompson.There is a technical problem here. Without evidence of Thompson's crime, it is impossible to unlock the archives of Thompson's juvenile crime.If you can't unlock the file, you won't know Thompson's new identity, and you won't be able to find Thompson.Logically speaking, neither illegal justice nor the police have the ability to open Thompson's file, but judging from the situation, Weiner's killing means that the murderer has mastered Thompson's information.

There is only one way to obtain Thompson's information without going through legal process, and that is to enter the archives of the witness protection agency and find Thompson's file.

As mentioned earlier, the witness protection system has three departments, which are official, non-governmental, and government-civilian organizations.The latter two are mainly to help witnesses solve life difficulties, so that they can testify without any worries.The official department is the Witness Protection Unit of the Crown Prosecution Service.The staff of the Witness Protection Unit are also police officers, but they do not report to the Police Service, they only report to the Crown Prosecution Service.Because of the needs of the case, they will also cooperate with the police of specific departments.

Protected data is divided into two categories, one is juvenile crime data, and the other is tainted witness data.The first type of data is text and paper data. Only the subject's fingerprints are left in the computer, and the fingerprints have been numbered.Wiener continued to commit crimes after acquiring a new identity, and a search of his identity revealed that Wiener had a number in the witness protection system.Then the police obtained a court order through the evidence, and went to the Witness Protection Department to open Weiner's sealed information.The second category is more complicated.

Because Thompson is not a criminal, the police could not provide evidence of Thompson's crime, and the court refused to issue a warrant to the Criminal Investigation Department to inquire about Thompson's current identity.Could Thompson have been killed?Sorry, that's not why the Thompson file was sealed.The Thompson file was sealed only to separate the new Thompson from the childhood crimes.In other words, Thompson before the age of 18 has died, and the death or immortality of Thompson after the age of 18 has nothing to do with this file.

The Criminal Investigation Department and Blade had little interest in Thompson, they were interested in the illegal justice that went after Thompson.Only by opening the Thompson file can we know Thompson's new identity and find Thompson before Thompson is killed.

The criminal investigation department and Daofeng didn't let Liang Xi off, but because of the criminal investigation department, Liang's status in this investigation was not high.Dao Feng took advantage of this cooperation with the Criminal Investigation Department of the Southern District to propose the idea of ​​absorbing two detectives.The Criminal Investigation Department of the Southern District let Dao Feng choose by himself, as long as they are willing to go with Dao Feng.

Then Blade discovered the problem. The young detectives of the criminal investigation department were inexperienced and relied more on the conclusion reports of the technical staff.The youngest of the senior detectives is also forty years old, with a big belly, even if the blade can accept him if he is asked to go to the blade, he himself cannot accept the rhythm of the blade.Four senior agents were questioned and none of them had any interest in serving at the Blades.They are starting to slow down at this age, and they like slow-paced activities. The Criminal Investigation Department is a front-line department that does not need to rush, and it is their favorite department. They are also used to the current work rhythm.

Although the right person was not dug up, Yisha still found out the details of several senior agents.After all, Liang Xi is a commoner, has no discipline, and has a loose style of work. As an important department, he cannot rely too much on any one person.

……

The two agents went to the file room of the Witness Protection Department with Isa, Baker and Liang Xi. Although they did not have a judge's warrant, they got the prosecutor's seal.To put it simply, accidentally tear the seal, consult the Thompson file, and seal the file with a new seal.From a legal point of view, it is not legal to do so, but from a practical point of view, it can save lives.After hearing the statement from the Criminal Investigation Department, the prosecutor believed that there was an urgent need for hedging, but because he could not convince the judge, he finally negotiated a plan to play around the corner.

While Yisha and the detective were discussing with the archives manager, Liang Xi was talking with a staff member.The little girl, wearing round glasses, is white and clean, and seems to be tall.But Liang Xi knew that this was a cover-up beauty.At work she is a good girl: gentle, quiet.Glasses, clothing and even hairstyles speak for themselves.In her own time after get off work, the little girl should be playing like crazy. There are invisible fluorescent marks on her wrists, which are the signs of entry into high-end clubs.

Why did Liang Xi see the invisible fluorescent signs?Because the little girl deliberately covered her left arm, Liang Xi became suspicious, and with a little cooperation with Baker, the puzzle was solved.By the way, Liang Xi learned about file preservation.

Generally speaking, files are not made public, nor are they loaned out.Accompanied by a staff member, get the files from the archives and read them on the spot in the archives. The sealed materials can only be used as reference clues, not as evidence.Before entering the archives, various inspections including body searches are required, and electronic devices and metal objects are absolutely not allowed to enter the archives.Because the archives not only contain Thompson's information, but also the identity of the tainted witness who accused the British and black gangsters, and the new identity of the undercover agent who has been undercover in a violent criminal group for several years.These witnesses who needed to change their names were all because their personal safety was threatened.

Each file has its own storage box. After opening the storage box, take out the file bag. To open the file bag, you must tear off the seal, and you cannot use technical means to peek at the file.All this is followed and supervised by the staff.In addition, there is a camera in the archive room, and the seal must be torn off facing the camera.After reading, reattach a valid seal issued by the prosecutor.

Liang Xi asked: "Even if it is the staff of your department, your supervisor, is it impossible to check a file privately?"

The little girl answered seriously: "Impossible. A major incident happened 10 years ago. A witness accusing a Gypsy criminal's family was brutally murdered. After investigation, it was found that our staff peeked at the file privately because the family was threatened. , and handed over the new identity of the witness to the Gypsies." The Gypsies form a very closed group in the UK, even more closed than the Holy Church in a certain sense. Those who break tradition are tried and even executed.Now the situation is better, they will expel people who do not follow the rules from the group, and for the traditional gypsies, the people who are expelled from the group have almost no life value.

What family rules?For example, do not intermarry with foreigners (not including sleeping with foreigners or even having children).Until now, Gypsies still live according to tradition.Because of this, their internal cohesion is very strong, and it is very common for them to shield criminals of the same race.In order to protect their fellow criminals being chased by the police, they will even take up arms and attack the police.

Because of what happened 10 years ago, the Royal Prosecutor's Office implemented stricter management regulations on the witness protection archives, and the possibility of relying on one or two insiders to consult the files in private without being discovered is close to zero.

Liang Xi asked: "For example, the object of your protection is Thresh. If Thresh dies, will you release the file?"

The little girl explained that the protagonist of each file has fingerprints in the computer, and the fingerprints are a serial number.Regular searches are made every month, and if the fingerprints of the deceased this month are found to match the numbers, the situation will be inquired.If the deceased died a natural death, the files are destroyed.If the death is abnormal, they will not take the initiative to contact the police unless it is necessary.

Liang Xi asked, "What if Thresh is a criminal?"

The little girl explained that when the police search Thresh's fingerprint information in the database, they will also get feedback. After comparing the fingerprint numbers, a prosecutor will decide whether to contact the police detective handling the case.Detectives are usually not contacted because the Department of Protection provides a new identity, an identity where a person starts over, unless the case is inextricably linked to the old identity.

Liang Xi asked, "Everyone knows about Weiner."

The little girl replied: "That's because Weiner himself did not abide by the confidentiality agreement. We will not protect his new identity, nor will we provide him with a new identity because the new identity is exposed."

After understanding clearly, Liang Xi saw Yisha and two detectives enter the archives room accompanied by a staff member, and said to Baker, "I'm going first."

Baker asked, "What's wrong?"

Liang Xi sighed: "In front of professionals, I'm just a younger brother. Nice to meet you." Liang Xi shook hands with the little girl, patted Baker on the shoulder, and left the witness protection file room accompanied by a staff member.
