When Zhou Yi returned to his parents' home in Dongji County, it was already past dinner time.

He drank a bowl of rice with the braised pork specially reserved for him, wiped his mouth contentedly, then looked up at his godsister whom he hadn't seen for a long time, showing his concern as a brother.

"How's work going? Are you used to it? I heard that you solved that burglary and murder case? You are worthy of being my sister. You have the demeanor of me back then!"

Shen Mo smiled sweetly, her eyes showing her closeness and admiration for Zhou Yi. When her brother asked about her work, she casually mentioned the case of two high school students raping a female classmate that she was investigating.

To her surprise, her brother knew about the case.

Zhou Yi sighed. How could he not know?

There are two news about Liaodong Province on the hot searches now. The first one is the incident of a vendor killing an urban management officer, and the other is the case of a high school boy gang-raping a female classmate.

Another thing is that this typical case was also recorded in his little notebook.

It turns out that some people seem to pay special attention to Liaodong Province, and I don’t know if they were influenced by him.

"Based on the self-shot video footage and other evidence from the crime scene, it was initially determined that the suspects Chang Yuan and Duan Lang did rape Song Qiaoqiao. However, Chang Yuan and Duan Lang also provided some evidence, including two transfers totaling 4,000 yuan to Song Qiaoqiao and records of their conversations about booking a room. Based on our investigation of the classmates of both parties, it was confirmed that Song Qiaoqiao and Chang Yuan had an ambiguous relationship, but whether they were in a romantic relationship remains to be further verified."

Shen Mo described the case in detail. She felt that her brother was an expert in this area and might be able to give her some special advice.

This case does not seem complicated, but it is actually not as simple as imagined.

The key lies in whether the relationship between Chang Yuan, Duan Lang and Song Qiaoqiao was a voluntary monetary transaction between the two parties, or a criminal act of forced rape that violated the subjective will of the victim.

The current evidence is unfavorable to Chang Yuan and Duan Lang, but it cannot be said that the evidence is conclusive and beyond doubt.

At least, Song Qiaoqiao did take the money and used it to buy a mobile phone and a skirt.

Zhou Yi thought about it, turned to look at Jian Shuyue and asked, "Wife, what do you think?"

Lawyer Jane handed the half-eaten apple to her husband. The strange light flashing in her beautiful eyes was enough to prove that she was very interested in this case.

"I think there are two main points. First, we must rely on evidence. We can collect evidence with a skeptical attitude, but we should try not to be subjective, especially not to judge the suspect guilty based on preconceived personal likes and dislikes."

Jian Shuyue discovered early on that her sister-in-law, perhaps because of the influence of school bullying she experienced in high school, had an obsession with bringing the perpetrators of all cases of sexual assault on women to justice.

There was nothing wrong with her starting point, but she was worried about Shen Mo, and she let too much subjective emotion into it, gradually becoming "obsessed", which ultimately led to a false case and a wrongful conviction.

Shen Mo nodded seriously.

She understood what her sister-in-law said. People are not machines and are bound to have subjective emotions. For example, she has a natural aversion to Chang Yuan and Duan Lang, two second-generation officials and rich people, and she hates their behavior even more.

However, it is undoubtedly inappropriate to subjectively determine that these two people are criminals when there is insufficient evidence and the facts have not been investigated clearly.

"Second, if your judgment is correct and Chang Yuan and Duan Lang did commit a crime, then the victim's family and the victim himself will likely become the main targets of the Chang and Duan families' strategy in the near future. It is possible that when you return, Song Qiaoqiao herself will suddenly change her mind and overturn her previous accusation!"

Jian Shuyue continued.

"Sister-in-law, I have also thought about this aspect. I have asked the team members to secretly monitor the movements of the victims and their families, and pay attention to whether they have had contact with the suspect's family." Shen Mo said quickly.

Jian Shuyue touched Shen Mo's hair approvingly, thinking that her sister-in-law was thoughtful and thoughtful, and like her husband, she was indeed a good candidate for criminal investigation.

"Secretary Zhou, don't you have any good ideas?" She turned around and asked her husband.

Zhou Yi held up two fingers and said with a smile: "Then I will also say two points. First, an unintentional crime is still a crime. Second, an imperfect victim is still a victim."

Jian Shuyue thought about it for a moment and immediately understood what her husband meant. She couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Why are you so sure?"

Secretary Zhou laughed and replied to his wife with two words: "Intuition!"

Tsk! Jian Shuyue rolled her eyes and snorted, "I just told Xiao Mo not to judge guilt based on subjective emotions. Secretary Zhou, don't you think your answer is too hasty?"

"If you don't believe it, let's make a bet. The loser unconditionally promises the winner to do something within his ability. How about that?" Secretary Zhou asked with ulterior motives.

In response to such a proposal, Lawyer Jane, who had suffered losses twice, said she would never be fooled. She rolled her eyes at her husband again, got up and went into the house to see the baby.

Shen Mo believed Zhou Yi's words without a doubt and decided to go back and investigate in this direction. He believed that the truth of the case would be revealed.

……

It is rare that the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are combined.

Most employees of government agencies and enterprises can enjoy up to eight days of holiday combined with the two festivals.

But for some special agencies, especially the public security and criminal investigation police officers working on the front lines, holidays are sometimes the busiest times.

Shen Mo only spent the Mid-Autumn Festival at home and returned to Liaoyang the next afternoon.

Just as she was on her way back to the Criminal Investigation Brigade, she received a call from team member Chu Bai.

"Captain Shen, Song Qiaoqiao came to the detachment accompanied by her parents and said that some of the descriptions were untrue when they were recorded, and they need to be corrected."

Shen Mo frowned. Things turned out just as she and her sister-in-law had expected. However, it was still a bit surprising that the Chang and Duan families were able to reach a deal with the victim and his family so quickly.

In all likelihood, it’s the money that’s being used!

"I'll be there soon, just ask them to wait a moment!"

About twenty minutes later, Shen Mo saw the victim, Song Qiaoqiao, a beautiful and pitiful high school girl.

After hearing the other party change his statement and say that he was in a romantic relationship with Chang Yuan, and that he voluntarily went to Qinghe Apartment with Chang Yuan and Duan Lang, and that after drinking too much and being unconscious, he had sex with Chang Yuan and then mistakenly took Duan Lang as Chang Yuan... he now plans not to pursue the criminal responsibility of the two.

Shen Mo was so angry that she laughed. She stared at the other person with an angry look and said coldly, "Do you think this is just a game? Are you just kidding? If you want to investigate, then investigate. If you don't want to investigate, then don't investigate."

"If what you are saying now is the truth, do you know what the false statements and accusations you made before were?"

Facing the female police officer's aggressive questioning, Song Qiaoqiao nodded calmly and replied: "I know it is illegal, and I am willing to bear all the consequences!"

……

That morning, Attorney Jian, who had just received a phone call, solemnly stretched out his hands to Secretary Zhou who was about to go to work, posing as if he were practicing Wing Chun, and said in a deep voice, "Ruyi Law Firm, Jian Shuyue, please give me some advice!"

Seeing this scene, Secretary Zhou couldn't help but look confused!
