Forensics

In the interrogation room, the tense interrogation continued.

Gu Yanchen suddenly changed the direction of the interrogation: "Your psychological quality is so good, isn't it the first time you have done this kind of thing?"

The corner of Liao Yinghan's mouth twitched: "What do you mean?"

Gu Yanchen said: "Before this, we have met your ex-wife. She said that when you went to sea together, you had a similar behavior."

Liao Yinghan snorted: "Zhao Yushan? I have dived with her, and she is still alive and well? Besides, she is still alive, doesn't it prove that the diving accident this time was just an accident?"

"But if, isn't that the first time?" Gu Yanchen looked at the man in front of him.

Liao Yinghan's head buzzed, and his face turned pale.

Gu Yanchen showed one piece of evidence, it was an insurance claim, but it was not Zhong Xiaoke's or Zhao Yushan's, but it belonged to Liao Yinghan's mother Han Chunmei.

"You were born in a divorced family, followed your mother, and depended on each other for life. A few years ago, your mother died unexpectedly." Gu Yanchen continued unhurriedly, "I checked the insurance records back then, and your mother fell down the stairs and died. Because of your mother's accidental death, the insurance company paid 50 yuan in compensation. For you who just graduated from college, that is the biggest sum of money you have received in your life... I have the insurance record at that time. "

Gu Yanchen took out some other files.

"After the forensic examination, the incident was classified as an accident. The police did not file a case, but the insurance company had a complete record. So before your mother died, did you know the existence of the insurance money?"

Liao Yinghan said: "I... I don't know, I only found out the insurance policy at home after my mother passed away."

"I read the various details in the insurance records. There were very few people at the entrance of the underground passage. It took 5 minutes from the time the surveillance camera captured you and your mother leaving the gate of the community together to the time you walked to the underground passage. It took 10 minutes to call the police and emergency calls? What were you doing for half an hour in the middle?"

Liao Yinghan said: "I ran out to find someone for help, and that matter has nothing to do with the current case!"

"Run out for help? Why didn't you call the ambulance in time? Maybe if you called earlier, your mother could be saved?" At this point, Gu Yanchen faced him and said in a regretful tone, "That's how long you depended on each other for life. Ten-year mother, how did you manage to watch her die? It is precisely because you can do this that you can kill Zhong Xiaoke without any fluctuations, right?"

Mentioning Liao Yinghan's mother was a key tactic in the interrogation.

Gu Yanchen himself didn't know who his father was since he was a child. He knew how important a mother would be if his father was missing during the child's growth.

Liao Yinghan's pain point is not his wife.The first wife, the second wife, even if they share the same bed, he has no love for these women.

But he has feelings for his mother.

This principle is like talking to some men about his wife or girlfriend, and he is indifferent. Once he talks about his mother, his attitude changes completely, and he becomes a firecracker that explodes at any point.

When the suspect in front of him talked about his mother, the conversation was obviously more positive.

Gu Yanchen brought up that old case not for the sake of a joint trial. It was many years ago that there was no evidence and the truth was unknown.His purpose was to get Liao Yinghan to admit the crime of killing his wife.

The relationship between Liao Yinghan and his wife was good on the surface, but he chose to kill his wife. In addition to wanting insurance money, according to the Neo-Floridian theory, this was a subconscious "substitutive attack".

Unable to directly confront the source of his frustration, he turns to hostile attacks on others, such as his wife, who is also a woman.

Gu Yanchen was taking advantage of this to remind him of his mother, and he felt even more guilty and fearful about the death of his wife in front of him.

Gu Yanchen said: "I read some of your online speeches, many of which are about your mother. Your mother is very kind to you, and will spend all the money in the family tightly. However, your mother has a cleanliness habit. She was very harsh on you back then. Very strict, you are afraid that she loves her, and you dare not resist her. When you live with your wife, they will make some demands on you, reminding you of your mother, so you murdered your wife instead?"

Yesterday, Shen Junci helped Gu Yanchen sort out Liao Yinghan's online speech records for many years. From the clues in those words, Gu Yanchen judged that the relationship between their mother and child must be complicated, which is mixed with dependence, fear, admiration, obedience, and rebellion .

He tried his best to play a good son and husband, pretending to take good care of and care for women.The formation of this kind of personality that is gentle on the surface and maddened on the inside has a lot to do with his mother.

Liao Yinghan's lips tightened.

"After your mother died, you got the insurance money. Is this the reason that deepened your idea of ​​killing your wife to cheat the insurance?"

This is a simple and reasonable inference of his criminal motive.

It was also his secretive murderous intent.

Liao Yinghan's face was as pale as dirt, and Gu Yanchen's words turned into a knife hanging on his head, forcing him to break out in another layer of cold sweat.

Originally, under the police's interrogation, he was at the end of his battle against the crime of killing Zhong Xiaoke, but now that Gu Yanchen mentioned his mother's death again, his psychological pressure was almost to the limit.

It's like a balloon inflated to the maximum point, and when it meets the needle tip, it will explode with just a slight poke.

Gu Yanchen took out a photo, which showed the death scene of Liao Yinghan's mother. The scene of the woman under the stairs was captured by the surveillance at the time and included in the insurance file.

Gu Yanchen pressed the photo on the table: "It is said that people look back on their life before they die. What was your mother thinking when she was lying down the cold stairs? And Zhong Xiaoke, you pulled her out of the water , when she realized that you were going to kill her, what was she thinking?"

This is empathy, allowing him to bring into the emotions of the deceased, increasing the suspect's fear and guilt.

Gu Yanchen deliberately kept quiet for a while, and asked him, "How does it feel to kill your own relatives?"

After hearing these words, Liao Yinghan was on the verge of collapse.

The dead wife and dead mother overlapped on the table in front of him. In the past few years, he has been numb himself, forgetting about his mother's death, which was the sin he hid in his heart.

His head hurt violently, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

He felt like he was standing on the edge of a cliff, and he would fall if he didn't pay attention.

Gu Yanchen continued to return to the case and presented the final evidence. He took out the photo of Zhong Xiaoke's second autopsy: "Please explain again, what is the indentation on Zhong Xiaoke's face!"

On the pale body, there was a circle of marks around the female corpse's mouth.

That's what he left when he covered his nose and mouth.

Gu Yanchen took out another screenshot of the VLOG, and marked a part of it, which was the mask in the suitcase.

"You used this mask to prevent Zhong Xiaoke from exhaling the air in his body underwater."

Combined with his actions captured by the camera, several key evidences were connected in series, as if boxes fell one by one, blocking all the roads in front of him at once.

Liao Yinghan couldn't explain it reasonably, he had no way out.

Gu Yanchen asked him in a deep voice: "Liao Yinghan, is this the first time you killed someone, or the second time? Could it be that you killed your mother too?"

The seventh step in Reed's nine-step method allows the prisoner to make a choice.

Under high pressure, when two options appear in front of you, people's thinking is framed and they cannot escape.

The suspect will habitually choose among them, and choose the one that seems less guilty.

But in fact this is a trap.

Whichever answer he chose was an admission of guilt.

The last sliver of sanity was finally crushed.

After a moment of silence...

"The first time..." Liao Yinghan said tremblingly, "I just... didn't call an ambulance for my mother in time..."

After saying this, Liao Yinghan trembled violently, he finally cried out, and he also realized what he had admitted.

The man was sitting in the interrogation room, his shoulders were shaking, and he was crying.

At that time, his mother was going to buy shoes for him, and the two of them walked to the entrance of the passage. While walking down the stairs, his mother scolded him, saying that he spent too much money, and the pair of shoes didn't last long. It's broken, his grades are not good, he spends money lavishly, and the money will be gone as soon as he gets it. He swallows his breath and follows his mother obediently, expressing that he will be obedient.

At that time, looking at his mother's back, hatred abounded in his heart, and he was moved by evil thoughts, as long as he gently pushed...

Perhaps it was because my mother was too anxious, she stepped on the ground and fell down the stairs.

He glanced at his mother, her eyes were open, and she stretched out her bloody hand to him, and in those eyes, she was begging him for help.

He hesitated at that time, he thought of his mother scolding him, and ran out of the underground passage.

After sitting outside for half an hour, he finally mustered up the courage to go back into the underground passage, call the police, and make an emergency call.

Mother died anyway.

But his mother's death allowed him to get a huge amount of insurance money.

After a while, Liao Yinghan calmed down and asked, "Can... give me a cigarette?"

Confessions, tears, and asking the police for things are all signs of frustration in an interrogation.

At this time, as long as the conditions put forward by the suspect are met, he may fully confess.

Gu Yanchen had already made preparations, he took out a cigarette and lighter from his pocket and threw them on the table in front of him.

Liao Yinghan's hand was trembling. He picked it up and tapped it three or four times before hitting it.He took a sip, looked up and asked, "Will I be sentenced to a few years? Or will I be sentenced to death?"

Liao Yinghan gave up all sophistry and resistance.

Gu Yanchen did not answer him, but reconfirmed: "You admit that you killed your wife."

Liao Yinghan smiled, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "I killed her. I have planned to do so since I married her."

In the observation room, Bai Meng breathed a sigh of relief, and cursed: "Fuck, this scumbag has finally been recruited..."

These testimonies will serve as the most powerful evidence to send Liao Yinghan to prison.

A smile finally appeared on Director Ding's serious and tense face: "I really asked! I knew your captain would do it!" The old man heaved a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair, "Doctor Shen, you It also did a good job and provided key evidence. In short, this battle was won beautifully."

Shen Junci nodded slightly, his eyes were still on the interrogation room, looking at Gu Yanchen inside.

The interrogation room is still finishing.

Now that Liao Yinghan has confessed, Gu Yanchen can finally relax from those words and tense nerves.But he still needs to ask for some details and get Liao Yinghan to sign the confession, so that the confession in this case will become ironclad evidence, and there will be no possibility of retracting the confession in court.

"You have already made preparations and chose the place of your murder in the deep sea?"

"Well, I have seen a lot of related cases of killing wives, such as the case of logging truck mutilation, such as the case of hanging stairs, and the case of killing his wife and stuffing two daughters in an oil drum, but those are not safe. I wanted something more stealthy."

"At first, you thought of tampering with the oxygen cylinder?"

"It is very difficult to use oxygen cylinders, which will make people suspicious. The diving project management here is very strict, and there will be several inspections. After experiencing the incident with Zhao Yushan, I realized that such a plan is not realistic. Then I adjusted my plans."

"You source your face shields from..."

"A medical store used cash. The mask they gave had air holes. I used waterproof adhesive to stick the holes. I also did tests to make sure there was no problem."

All details are complete.

Gu Yanchen said: "I can feel that you don't love your wife at all, you love yourself more and money more."

"I marry wives for money. For me, they are not necessities, money is. Women are always troublesome. They will make me wash socks, let me clean the room, let me cook, Asking me to carry things for them, they always force me to say things against my will and praise them for their beauty. I have to buy them gifts, too tired..." Liao Yinghan blew out a smoke ring.

"At the beginning, my mother and I often quarreled, but I couldn't do without her, and I still loved her very much. I got the compensation for my mother's death. It was the first time in my life that I got a large sum of money that I could independently control. Money. It was like picking up a lottery ticket by accident. I had a wonderful life, but the money ran out quickly.”

He bowed his head and smoked: "That was the first time I knew what freedom in life is."

That kind of happiness is short-lived, and the money is still too little. He wants to reproduce that kind of life.

"Since then, I've been thinking, I want to buy another lottery ticket. I started thinking about how to perfectly kill a rich woman."

After admitting to killing his wife, Liao Yinghan seemed to have let go of his whole being, and he was finally able to speak the truth in his heart.

Gu Yanchen said: "That's insurance, not a lottery. Insurance for death, in fact, the money is left to the living. This is a blessing from the dead. I hope that while the loved ones get the comfort of money, they can think of the dead." , your thinking is fundamentally wrong."

Gu Yanchen looked at the man in front of him with contempt. He not only gnawed at the old man, but also gnawed at his wife.

The person in front of him is like a giant baby who has not yet grown up, trying his best to get money from others, but he doesn't want to pay the corresponding price.It's just pity for that woman, the wrong love took her life.

After sorting out all the confessions, Gu Yanchen walked into the observation room, and Director Ding praised him a few words and left with satisfaction.

This interrogation lasted for a whole afternoon. When he came out of the interrogation room, Gu Yanchen was a little tired.He was anxious to get home, walk the dog, eat something good, take a shower, get some sleep, and get this criminal out of his mind.

Shen Junci packed up his things and followed him outside: "Captain Gu, the interrogation was very exciting."

Gu Yanchen was not so excited, and replied politely: "Thank you. It's still thanks to you. If you hadn't found some clues in some records, I wouldn't have asked so smoothly."

From those records, he judged that Liao Yinghan had complicated feelings for his mother, so he decided on the final strategy and crushed Liao Yinghan.

It was dusk at this time, the sky was getting dark, and another night was coming.

Gu Yanchen suddenly felt a little emotional: "In the past, Bureau Lin said something to me. He said that when every interrogation ends successfully, the interrogator feels that he has insight into the truth and is omnipotent. But in fact, when we interrogate, Evil has already happened. As a guard of a city, the winner of the interrogation is actually the loser."

He still remembered that at that time he had just finished interrogating a difficult prisoner, and he was full of joy.

Unlike Director Ding's congratulations, Bureau Lin said something like this to him.

This is a reminder for the victors.

There is no complacency in punishing criminals who deserved what they did.

Every criminal interrogation means that innocent people died in vain, and it means that they failed to save the people they should have saved.

Shen Jun said: "We can't change the past. It's a pity that we couldn't save Zhong Xiaoke, but we can try our best to save other women from being killed."

He and Lin Xianglan looked at things in different directions.

Lin Xianglan is more pessimistic, so she always feels that she shoulders a heavy responsibility and moves forward with a heavy burden.

Lin Luo was stubborn, full of hope, and never lost the obsession in his heart at any time.

Shen Junci said: "I think people have to look forward. Every victory is to ignite a little bit of starlight in the darkness. If you save enough, those starlight can illuminate the entire night sky."

Gu Yanchen turned his head to look at him, and he said, "I also read a sentence, 'The stars shine so that everyone can find their own star one day.'"

Shen Junci's eyelashes closed gently, then opened, he recognized the source of this sentence: "Little Prince."

At that moment, the light outside the car window reflected on his face, and his eyes twinkled, as beautiful as stars.

Gu Yanchen felt that he seemed to have found the star that belonged to him.

The author has something to say:

Some interrogation methods are derived from "Practice Interrogation and Confessions"

The stars shine so that everyone can find their own stars one day. --little Prince
