    【Not Guilty Defense-05】

    When Xu Yishen followed the police to the criminal police team, he saw the words "Beishan City Binjiang District Criminal Police Team" written on the door of the police team. Beishan School and the beach barbecue restaurant are both located in the Binjiang District. "Drowning" and "School Murder" are both under the jurisdiction of the Binjiang District Police Force.

    When you come to the police force, you will definitely see Zhu Xiaoting who was brought back for questioning.

    Xu Yishen stayed in the police pocket motionless. As soon as he entered the police department, the police officer's phone rang. He picked up the phone and heard the colleague on the other side whisper: "Chen team, the witness to the Beishanxue murder case. The suspects and the deceased have been brought, and the dead body has been sent to the forensic autopsy room, do you want to try them now?"

    Team Chen was silent for two seconds, then said: "No hurry, you go to the office and tell me the details."

    He pushed the door and walked into the office to pour a glass of water. After a while, a young police officer hurriedly knocked on the door and came in to report the situation: "Team Chen, the deceased at Beishan School is named Xie Xiangqin, 22 years old, and a fourth student of law school. Preliminary judgment on the time of death. At about 5:20 in the morning, the reporter was her roommate "Mao" Yue. The reporter described that she went to the study room overnight last night and returned to the dormitory at 5:00 in the morning. As soon as she opened the door, she saw the floor of the dormitory covered with Blood, another roommate Zhu Xiaoting killed Xie Xiangqin with a knife, so she screamed and called the police quickly."

    Team Chen raised his eyebrows: "Zhu Xiaoting? The girl who followed the law school to the beach for barbecue yesterday?"

    Young police officer: "Yes. Team Chen... know her?"

    Team Chen said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that the person who died on the beach was Liu Jiajia, who happened to sleep in the same tent as Zhu Xiaoting last night. It seems that Zhu Xiaoting left the beach early in the morning, returned to school alone, and then returned to the dormitory to kill the house. friend?"

    The colleague opened his eyes in surprise: "Are both cases related to this Zhu Xiaoting?"

    Team Chen frowned, tapped his fingers on the table, and continued to ask, "Have you got Zhu Xiaoting's phone?"

    "It has been collected as evidence, and the identification department is collecting evidence."

    "Has the school's surveillance been adjusted?"

    "The surveillance in the girls' dormitory is broken, I only got the surveillance video at the door, and the guys are watching."

    "Well, urge the forensic doctor to give the cause of death decision as soon as possible, and I will ask this Zhu Xiaoting."

    As Team Chen turned around and walked into the interrogation room, a thin girl with tears on her face and pale lips was brought in by the policewoman. She glanced at the policewoman tremblingly and said, "I, I'm in a hurry, can you go to the bathroom... …”

    Team Chen clenched his chin and said to the policewoman, "Take her there."

    Xu Yishen originally hid in Team Chen's pocket. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly activated the mitotic skill and directly separated a cell and jumped into the policewoman's pocket.

    The policewoman took Zhu Xiaoting to the bathroom, untied the handcuffs and let Zhu Xiaoting go to the toilet. Zhu Xiaoting went into the bathroom alone, Xu Yishen quickly jumped on her head and hid in her ears. Zhu Xiaoting flushed her face with cold water, and was about to go out when she heard a soft voice in her ear: "Zhu Xiaoting, you didn't kill, did you?"

    Zhu Xiaoting was stunned for a moment, staring at the mirror in horror: "Who, who are you?"

    Xu Yishen: "Shh, don't talk, I'm here to help you. If you can't see me, just think... I'm a mysterious figure sent by God to save you."

    Zhu Xiaoting: "???"

    Is this a shounen anime? God sent to save her?

    It was difficult for Xu Yishen to explain that he had become a cell and was talking. After making a nonsense reason, he quickly turned back to the topic and said, "The police will interrogate you soon, remember what I said. First, never admit that you killed yourself, and insist that you did not kill. Second, the police are very experienced in interrogation. Don’t lie. If you lie, they will easily find out the loopholes in your logic. In the future, your testimony will become unbelievable in the eyes of the judge. Say 'I don't know,' and don't answer with the ability, or maybe this ambiguous answer. Intentional homicide is a death sentence, if you want to save your life, just do what I say."

    Zhu Xiaoting's eyes were red, her mind was completely "chaotic", she thought she had auditory hallucinations. But the voice in her ear was as gentle as a brother who cared about her. She whispered, "Why, why help me?"

    Xu Yishen said: "Because, I believe you are innocent."

    Zhu Xiaoting's tears poured out uncontrollably.

    From the moment Mao opened the door and screamed, "Zhu Xiaoting has murdered", the 703 dormitory was quickly surrounded, and everyone around looked at her with the terrified eyes of a murderer. When she said "Zhu Xiaoting killed" and "why did she kill", even if she shook her head frantically and replied "I didn't kill", but no one listened to her, let alone believed her.

    After the police came, they handcuffed her for the first time.

    The cold metal handcuffs made her whole heart sink to the bottom, she thought, she was going to be finished this time, she was the only one at the scene, she accidentally touched the murder weapon, how could she know? ! Will the police believe it?

    Just when she was most helpless, this gentle voice was like a huge volume, pulling her sanity back. Whether it's hallucinations or not, at least it's right

    She must not admit that she is the murderer. Once admitted, she will be sentenced to death!

    Xu Yi said softly: "Now, take a deep breath and calm down first."

    Zhu Xiaoting took a deep breath and tried to calm down as much as possible.

    Just as she was about to speak, Xu Yishen interrupted her: "Don't talk, answer the police's questions clearly and be sincere. Don't be afraid, the police won't let any murderer go, but they won't wrongly wrong a good person, as long as you don't really Murder, things will always have the truth one day."

    Zhu Xiaoting looked at herself with tears in the mirror and nodded.

    When she turned to go out, her condition was much better. The policewoman gave her a look and said, "Let's go."

    Zhu Xiaoting followed the policewoman back to the interrogation room. Team Chen made her sit across from her and asked, "Are you Zhu Xiaoting, 22 years old, a fourth student of Beishan School of Translation and Interpretation?"

    "yes."

    "What's your relationship with Xie Xiangqin?"

    "Housemate."

    "To be more specific, do you have any grudges with her? How are you getting along?"

    "..." Zhu Xiaoting gritted her teeth and whispered after a while, "I don't like her, she never cares about other people's feelings, she talks on the phone with her boyfriend every day until 2 am, I'm mentally weak, and there are voices in the dormitory I can't sleep. Because of her, I haven't rested for a month."

    "So, do you have a grudge against her in your heart?"

    "...A little bit, but not to the level of murder. All three of our roommates have some opinions on her."

    "You went to the beach for a barbecue with the law students yesterday? Why did you go back to school alone halfway through?"

    "I ate too much barbecue, and I had a stomachache in the middle of the night. Their law school's arrangement was to play at the beach for two days on weekends. I was not feeling well, so I wanted to go back to the dormitory and have a good sleep."

    Physical discomfort, although this reason makes sense, it is not enough to convince. Besides, Liu Jiajia, the girl in the tent who could prove that she had a stomachache in the middle of the night, is now a corpse.

    "Do you know Liu Jiajia? What's the relationship?"

    "Gaga is my best friend. We have been in the same class since middle school. She asked me to go to the barbecue organized by the law school this time. She said that many people did not go, and there were too many seats. I went to eat, and she paid me the money."

    "Can you swim?"

    The officer's questions jumped.

    Zhu Xiaoting was stunned by the question, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Yes."

    "Did you know Liu Jiajia can swim?"

    "Well, she will."

    "Did you hand Liu Jiajia water before going to bed yesterday?"

    "She said she was thirsty, but I gave her a bottle of water."

    The more Xu Yishen listened, the more she felt that something was wrong. Zhu Xiaoting definitely didn't know that Liu Jiajia was dead. The police kept asking questions about swimming and drinking water, apparently suspecting that she had given Liu Jiajia food and drugs. dragged into the deep sea.

    "Tell me, what did you see when you went back to the 703 dormitory?" The police suddenly changed the subject.

    Thinking of the scene at that time, Zhu Xiaoting's lips trembled, and her hands clenched tightly: "I, I saw Xie Xiangqin lying on the ground, calling me for help, I was frightened and ran over to try to save her... She has something on her body. Blood poured out, I held the knife to help her stop the bleeding, I didn't expect it to be so severe, I thought she was just accidentally injured!"

    The interrogating policemen looked at each other.

    After Zhu Xiaoting calmed down for a while, the police took out the deceased's mobile phone and asked, "The last person she contacted before her death was you, and she sent you a WeChat message saying, 'Come back and talk, we should have a break', this is What means?"

    Zhu Xiaoting's face flashed.

    Xu Yishen whispered in her ear, "Don't hide it. If you have any grievances, make it clear."

    Zhu Xiaoting nodded and said while crying, "I have always had a crush on Zou Yijia, my major, but I didn't dare to compare with Biao and Xie Xiangqin's courage, so I took the initiative to sue Zou. She knew that I was jealous of her, so she was absolutely right. That's it."

    Team Chen raised his eyebrows: "She robbed the boy you liked, and talked to this boy on the phone in front of you every day, so you always hated her, had a fierce quarrel with her in the dormitory, and stabbed her to death on impulse. her, right?"

    Zhu Xiaoting stared and shook her head frantically: "No, I really didn't kill her!"

    Team Chen: "Yes, only your fingerprints were detected on the knife that killed her."

    Zhu Xiaoting was stunned and looked at each other with her mouth open.

    When Xu Yishen heard this, he immediately shook his head - the murderer did not leave fingerprints, but Zhu Xiaoting left fingerprints in a panic, which is really unclear. Whether or not she had a dispute with the deceased after returning to the dormitory was entirely her own words. No human witness can help her testify, and physical evidence is very unfavorable to her.

    Zhu Xiaoting came back to her senses in a trance, her eyes were a little dull: "Only my fingerprints? How could this be?"

    Team Chen: "According to your roommate Mao Yue, this knife is yours. The orange fruit knife is very sharp. You just bought it from the school supermarket last week."

    Zhu Xiaoting looked at the familiar orange-colored fruit knife on the table, her face as gray as death.

    This is indeed her knife.

    She took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "I clearly put this knife in the drawer. It must be the murderer who stabbed Xie Xiangqin with it and framed it for me!"

    Team Chen: "Who has such a grudge against you that murder will be framed for you?"

    Zhu Xiaoting thought for a moment, then shook her head: "I, I really don't know who has a grudge against me..."

    Team Chen changed the subject and asked, "Where's Liu Jiajia? Did you kill it?"

    Zhu Xiaoting: "What?! Jiajia her..."

    Team Chen stared sharply at the girl in front of him: "Liu Jiajia drowned, not long after you left. Last night, you followed Liu Jiajia to the beach for a barbecue, and gave her a bottle of water in the middle of the night. Medicine, she passed out after drinking the medicine, you took her into the sea to drown, then took a taxi and ran away. Back to school, quarrel with Xie Xiangqin, and stab each other with a fruit knife."

    Zhu Xiaoting's face collapsed: "No, it's not like this!"

    "In the bottle of water that Liu Jiajia drank, there is an unknown powder on the bottle mouth. What kind of 'drug' is, we will detect the results soon." Team Chen tapped on the table, "Zhu Xiaoting, Tan Congkuan. , don't be obsessed with ignorance."

    Zhu Xiaoting took a deep breath: "I really didn't kill anyone! Did any of you see me kill with your own eyes?"

    Team Chen said lightly: "You calm down here first, and think about whether you want to take the initiative to confess. If you are frank, the court may give you a light sentence."

    The two police officers went out, and they should be looking for a forensic doctor to get the results.

    Zhu Xiaoting sat there, the thin girl trembling helplessly. In such a situation, no one can keep calm, let alone a 22-year-old schoolgirl with no social experience.

    Xu Yi sighed deeply, and the split cells followed Team Chen to hear the results of the forensic examination.

    The forensic doctor said: "Xie Xiangqin, the time of death was around 5:30 in the morning. The cause of death was bleeding caused by the rupture of the heart's aorta. She was killed by a knife. There were no scars on her body. the opponent's body."

    Team Chen nodded: "Where's Liu Jiajia?"

    The forensic doctor said: "Liu Jiajia's cause of death was poisoning. A highly toxic substance was detected in the mineral water bottle. After she died, she was dragged into the sea to pretend to be drowning. There were no traces of sediment in the seawater in her nose and lungs, which proved that the deceased was deceased. He was dead when he fell into the sea, not breathing or struggling."

    "Zhu Xiaoting's fingerprints were detected on the mineral water bottle." The colleague from the identification department said: "Zhu Xiaoting's mobile phone has been unlocked, and the taxi records and call records have been found. At 4:30 in the morning, she called a Didi Express to drive from the beach. Back to school, at 5:10, the car stopped at the school gate. At 5:20, Xie Xiangqin called Zhu Xiaoting for half a minute."

    "It seems that Zhu Xiaoting's action trajectory is basically the same as the time of death of the two deceased." Chen Dui paused and said, "Continue to investigate the social relationship of the two deceased. If there is no suspect, we will organize the information and prepare for public prosecution."

    Xu Yishen has a time limit for changing his cells. Seeing that the time is running out, he immediately went back and told Zhu Xiaoting, "We will find a way to help you. The evidence is very unfavorable to you now. You don't understand the law, so you must find a lawyer to defend you."

    Zhu Xiaoting lowered her head, her face full of despair, and her voice was weak: "Yes, I, I don't have the money to hire a lawyer..."

    Xu Yishen said, "You can apply for free legal aid."

    Zhu Xiaoting was skeptical: "A free lawyer, can you?"

    Xu Yishen said softly: "Dang, many lawyers will be willing to help people like you. There are many legal aid centers in China that provide voluntary services, and the lawyers there are very professional. This afternoon, a lawyer will come to see you, cheer up, don't give up."

    Zhu Xiaoting hummed softly.

    Xu Yishen said: "I'll go first, see you."

    Zhu Xiaoting asked, "Who are you?"

    There was no sound in my ears.

    After Xu Yishen slipped out of the police force, he recovered his original body at the corner of the street, and quickly typed the results of the police force's inquiries and the cause of death finally determined by the forensic doctor in the group.

    Yue Xingwen said helplessly: "It's just as hard as a mountain!"

    Fingerprints, poisons, murder weapons, moving routes, call records, WeChat records have witnesses...

    All the evidence points to Zhu Xiaoting, this girl is a bloody mildew.

    Such an unfavorable situation actually aroused Lan Yarong's fighting spirit: "We must clear up her grievances for this girl. If there is no one to help her, she will be sentenced to death, and it will be miserable!"
