Serious Crime Unit 1

Chapter 776 Death of the Prosecutor (5)
"Okay, you can ask, I will tell you everything I know." After wiping away his tears, he opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Yiming.

"What is Tang Mingshi's personality like?"

"He? He has a strong personality. He is a strong-armed man who speaks his truth. He is responsible and has strong work ability. His superiors like him. However, because he is too rigid and does not understand roundabout tactics, he will inevitably offend others."

"Can you please give an example? Even a small detail may be a key clue for us to solve the case."

"For example, in some cases where there is insufficient evidence, in order to achieve results and please the leadership, he directly signs the case to become the chief prosecutor and prosecute the parties involved. Of course, there are relatively few such examples. Under normal circumstances, he will be very cautious."

"Therefore, he may have offended the client."

"However, I think the possibility of him being killed is extremely small. Although starting from January 2000, according to the provisions of the Supreme People's Procuratorate's "Work Plan on Comprehensive Implementation of the Responsibility System of Chief Prosecutors in Case Handling in the Review and Prosecution Department", all departments across the country have The review and prosecution departments of the procuratorial organs at all levels have fully implemented the case-handling responsibility system of the chief prosecuting prosecutor, but they still have to go through the court, and the main reasons for unjust cases are the courts and the public security bureau."

"In January 2000, did Tang Mingshi serve as the chief prosecutor?"

"Yes, he served as the chief prosecutor in 1998, but the case-handling responsibility system was only implemented in January 2000."

"Have you ever offended anyone besides work?"

"This..." Chen Danyi fell silent, seemingly hesitant to speak, but finally shook his head.

"Mr. Chen, you have rich experience in handling cases. Tang Mingshi is dead. He cannot speak. Only his relatives and friends can speak for him. You don't have to worry. Please tell us. This is a great support for our work. ." Jiang Yiming knew that he had something to say, but he had scruples, so he remained silent.

Chen Danyi nodded, lost in thought, and seemed to be considering how to speak, or how to speak more tactfully. Finally, he raised his head and said: "There is a client named Zeng Hui who was once prosecuted by us, and Tang Mingshi served as the The main prosecutor, Zeng Hui, was eventually sentenced to 5 years in prison by the court. After he was released from prison, he reported to his real name that Tang Mingshi was keeping a mistress outside. We sent people to conduct a preliminary investigation and found that there was no such thing. We considered that Zeng Hui might have done so in order to retaliate against Tang Mingshi. Fabricated facts, so we didn’t investigate.”

"What crime was Zeng Hui sentenced for?"

"The crime of molesting women."

"Can you briefly explain the process?"

"There is a public toilet next to Huangshi Village in Jiangbei District. One day in the early summer of 2002, a female garment factory worker named Li Li went to the toilet around 10 pm. Before she finished using it, she ran out and called the police, claiming that she had been assaulted. Upon seeing Zeng Hui's molestation, police from the local police station were dispatched and arrested Zeng Hui by the toilet.

"Zeng Hui only admitted that he was drunk, entered the wrong toilet, and fought with Li Li in the toilet, but he did not molest her. Li Li insisted that she was molested by Zeng Hui because her top was torn and her bra strap was torn. After tearing it off, she had to use her hands to escort her breasts and wait for the police to arrive.

"Because the evidence was solid, the Jiangbei Public Security Bureau opened a case for investigation and quickly handed the evidence to our procuratorate. We reviewed the evidence and felt that Zeng Hui had constituted a crime of obscenity, so we prosecuted the case in court. As a result, Zeng Hui was sentenced to 5 years in prison. Because he behaved well in prison, he was sentenced to one year in prison and was released in 2006." Chen Danyi spoke slowly, recalling as he spoke.

"Didn't Zeng Hui plead?" Jiang Yiming felt that this might be an unjust case.

"Yes, he said that after he entered the wrong toilet, Li Li was relieving herself. When she saw Zeng Hui running in, she became very angry. She put on her pants and stepped forward and gave Zeng Hui a slap in the face. How could Zeng Hui be so angry? What's more, he was He was drunk. When he saw Li Li hit him and wanted to run away, he reached out and grabbed Li Li's breast and pulled hard. As a result, Li Li's top and bra were torn. Li Li wanted to hit Zeng Hui back. , but was pushed to the ground by Zeng Hui. She felt that she could not fight Zeng Hui, so she chose to call the police."

"This case has not reached the level of rape. Even if Zeng Hui molested Li Li, he would not have been sentenced to 5 years in prison. Therefore, Zeng Hui might have shot Tang Mingshi in order to retaliate against Tang Mingshi. At least Zeng Hui had a motive for killing. Zeng Hui usually How are you as a person?"

"Zeng Hui is an unemployed vagrant who often hangs out with unscrupulous people and engages in fights. He was once dealt with by the local police station. Therefore, the court also sided with Li Li."

"If Zeng Hui hadn't torn Li Li's top and bra, then Zeng Hui wouldn't have been convicted of obscenity, right?"

"Of course, if Zeng Hui and Li Li had a dispute, or just slapped each other, Zeng Hui could only be sentenced to drunken fighting, and civil mediation methods could be used... Captain Jiang, the climate at that time was different from now, and this kind of thing happened The probability is relatively high, and the procuratorate and the court will generally sympathize with the woman."

"Mr. Chen, I understand." Jiang Yiming asked many questions about the defendant's appeal cases. After chatting for a long time and recording more than 5000 words of notes, he left Chen Danyi's home. When leaving, Jiang Yiming asked Chen Danyi to try his best. Don't go out for activities. No matter day or night, keep the curtains at home closed, just in case.Chen Danyi agreed, knowing that he might be the murderer's next target.After Jiang Yiming got in the car, he took out his mobile phone and looked for Zeng Hui's address in the household registration system. Because he already knew Zeng Hui's age from Chen Danyi, he quickly found his specific address: No. 121 Jiangshan Road, Jiangbei District. Room 11, Unit 2, Building 202, Yuanshan Community.

This is an old community. When they walked in, they saw that the tiles on the wall in front of them were peeling off, rusty and devastated, and various facilities were rickety. It felt like they had traveled back to the 80s.

They came to Zeng Hui's door and knocked on it. The door opened quickly. A young woman in pajamas appeared in front of him, holding a breastfeeding baby in her arms. She asked in very non-standard Mandarin. : "Who are you looking for?"

"We are from the criminal police team of the city bureau. Does Zeng Hui live here?"

"Yes, I am Zeng Hui's wife. Zeng Hui is not at home, he went out to work."

The young woman in front of him was short, with dark skin, deep-set eye sockets, and she spoke very difficult Mandarin. Jiang Yiming judged from her accent that she might be a daughter-in-law from Vietnam. She didn't want them to go in. What was she worried about?
"Are you Vietnamese?"

"Well, I've been married to China for five years, and I won't run away." Apparently she misunderstood. She didn't understand the difference between a criminal police officer and a civilian police officer.

"We are not here to check this. When will Zeng Hui come home?"

"It's 11:[-] now. He's already off work and will be home soon. How about you wait a while?" She looked at them timidly.

"Can you please let us go in and sit for a while?"

"Oh, come on, come in." She seemed sorry for her rudeness.

Ten minutes later, Zeng Hui returned home. When he saw Jiang Yiming and Zhou Ting, he was slightly startled, but quickly calmed down: "Captain Jiang, I didn't expect you to come to Humble House today. It's great to meet these two heroes. ." After saying that, he motioned to his Vietnamese wife to enter the room.She nodded and walked into the bedroom.

"What do the two heroes want from me? I have repented and will no longer do illegal things." Zeng Hui asked after sitting down and looking at Jiang Yiming.

"We are investigating a murder case and need your help. Can you please cooperate?"

"Of course, this is my duty."

"Tang Mingshi was killed, did you know?"

"He was killed? I don't know. I am now a water deliveryman for Jinghua Pure Water Company. I have to work at least 12 hours a day. I am very busy. After work, I have no time to watch the news. My only thought is to eat quickly and then Sleep, replenish energy, and then go to work the next day. Sometimes I have to send a bucket of water to the 8th floor. Not ordinary people can endure such hardship."

Zeng Hui is of medium height, with a slim build, but very strong, with angular facial features. If his skin were not darker and his forehead lines were less, he could be called a handsome boy. Especially his eyes are particularly bright, as if they can penetrate Like a wall.His temperament is resolute and strong, unlike the little gangster Chen Danyi said.It was precisely because of this temperament that Jiang Yiming suspected that it was absolutely impossible for a young gangster to become a sniper.

Snipers are expected to have excellent stamina and will often lie dormant for hours or even weeks waiting for a target.He should also have keen eyesight, quick reflexes, good physical strength, and a will to never give up until he reaches his goal... In short, he is one of the best geniuses.

"Tang Mingshi was once the prosecutor in charge of your obscenity case. Do you have a strong opinion of him?"

"Yes, I didn't expect Li Li to accuse me of obscenity, nor did I expect that Tang Mingshi would be my prosecutor. What I didn't expect the most was that the court would sentence me to a five-year sentence. I just caught him while drunk. I just tugged at her breasts. Not only did I waste five years of my youth, but I was also charged with molesting women. I couldn’t even find a wife, so I had to go to Vietnam to buy one. I’m really blind. ." After saying that, his eyes became moist.

"It's in the past, so don't take it to heart anymore. I haven't read the file of your case, but I believe there are doubts about this case. If you had torn the man's shirt, I believe you would not be sentenced. However, One thing is very important: How come you went to the wrong women's restroom?"
