Police Chen Shu

Chapter 557 King of Evidence—Confession?

Criminal University, conference room.

Lao Cao, the forensic doctor, opened the door and walked in with a stack of documents.

Nie Chaofan and Xiao Ma stood up at the same time, and said in unison: "Is there any result?"

Since accepting the case, Nie Chaofan, as the host policeman, has been under great pressure because no conclusive evidence has been found. His hair and beard are messy and he has no intention of taking care of them.

At this time, he stared at Lao Cao with his bloodshot eyes wide open.

Pony was a little better. Although he tossed back and forth in a short period of time, he had at least rested in the car, and as a young man, his energy and physical strength were relatively better.

Lao Cao frowned and looked at the two without speaking, this attitude already showed the answer.

Nie Chaofan was on the verge of falling, and fell down on the chair with a long sigh.

Xiao Ma still didn't give up, stepped forward and grabbed Lao Cao's sleeve, unwilling to say: "Master Cao, is there any comparison?"

Lao Cao glanced at Nie Chaofan, who was slumped in a chair, and shook his head.

Xiao Ma gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, I'll go to their village again tomorrow. This time, stay a few more days and collect the DNA of all the men in their village!"

Lao Cao smiled wryly: "Xiao Ma, do you know how much we have to pay for a DNA comparison in the experimental center? Two thousand! Two thousand for one comparison!"

"Human life is at stake, even 20,000 yuan must be investigated!"

"But would others be willing to work overtime every day to do this useless work for you?"

"How could it be useless! Maybe the suspect is hiding here!"

"You've already run there. People have already gone to other provinces to avoid the limelight. Huaguo is so big, are you going to run to every place?"

"Then you have to try."

"Don't add to the confusion. A clueless investigation is a waste of police force. Besides, there are still two suspects locked in the cage. Do you think your suggestion of a full village inspection can be supported by the leaders?"

As he spoke, Lao Cao patted Pony on the shoulder lightly, put the comparison report on the table and left.

Xiao Ma walked around the room anxiously, and said to himself: "It's been two days and two nights and the trial hasn't come out, what should I do now, what should I do?"

Nie Chaofan said hoarsely: "I've been hungry for a few days, go to the cafeteria and bring them something to eat."

Xiao Ma paused: "Tan Nie, is this giving up?"

Nie Chaofan was speechless, but his neck was stiff, and he flipped through the files that had been torn apart in just a few days.

"boom."

The door of the conference room was opened, and Team Wei from the technical investigation came in with a few police officers smiling.

"Inspector Nie, have you confessed all the suspects? Come here, smoke a cigarette, everyone has been caught, why are you still frowning?"

Nie Chaofan blocked it with his hands, and said helplessly: "The two suspects have not pleaded guilty yet, and the DNA test materials have not matched, hey!"

Team Wei pulled a chair and sat down, stretched out his index finger and pointed to the west direction, and said in a low voice: "The liaison officer of the city government didn't look very good, he sounded like he was scolded when he answered the phone just now. Tsk tsk, Now the neighbor is throwing things and losing his temper. Tan Nie, hurry up."

Nie Chaofan wiped his face vigorously, and forcibly hooked the corners of his mouth: "Thank you Team Wei for reminding me, I will take someone there to interrogate him again later. This confession may not be easy to come out at once."

"If you don't have a confession, just do a sudden interrogation, and you'll have everything in a sudden. Anyway, these two people must be the only ones, and they can't escape." Team Wei got up and walked out, and patted Nie Chaofan on the shoulder when he passed by Nie Chaofan, showing a playful smile.

After closing the door, Team Wei suddenly opened the door halfway again, and said with a smile, "I forgot to tell you, the elder of Xingzhi said that after this case is closed, he will reserve a place for you in the preliminary trial."

As he spoke, he turned his head and smiled at the other side: "Really? Zhang Da."

"Yes, weren't you there when we talked about this?"

Team Wei turned around, and the spring was bright: "Old Nie, oh no, Nie Da, take good care of it."

After all the people in the agency had left, the conference room fell into silence again.

Nie Chaofan felt that the melon seeds in his head were a little awkward. This feeling seemed to be heavy and lacking strength, but it was injected suddenly. Injected.

"Jingle Bell."

Nie Chaofan saw that it was the call from the captain.

"Old Nie, how is the case going?" The team leader's slightly anxious voice came from the phone.

It has been two days since the criminal suspect arrived at the case, but the case is still motionless and there is no further development. As the top leader of the Criminal University, he is really anxious.

Nie Chaofan glanced at the pony next to him, and the pony consciously left the meeting room and took it to the door.

"You have a tough mouth, and you haven't pleaded guilty until now." Nie Chaofan was a little frustrated.

"." There was a moment of silence on the phone, and then the captain let out a long sigh, "Hey! It's been extended to forty-eight hours, and if it drags on, you'll have to release him. Our Criminal University really can't afford to lose face."

"Da Lin, I...I want to try again." The last sentence Wei Dui said before leaving flashed in his mind, and Nie Chaofan said in a strange way.

"Old Nie, don't worry about it. I'm going to retire soon anyway, so I don't need to carry this case on my back. It's okay if I can't figure it out, but don't put yourself in it. The current environment is terrible. It's different from before, and you must not mess around." As a veteran and an old criminal investigator, the team leader immediately realized what Nie Chaofan meant by wanting to try again.

"Da Lin, I. Hey." Nie Chaofan couldn't speak, so he could only sigh.

"."

"Toot."

Putting down the phone, Nie Chaofan put his hands on his forehead and closed his eyes.

With the case at this point, he has no idea at all.

The video surveillance did not capture it, and the DNA test materials did not match up. There was no evidence at all. The only thing that can be settled is the confession.

20 years of investigation and handling, day and night, black and white;

Old parents who are old and need to be accompanied;

Wife and children who have been separated for a long time and need to be guarded;

Pressure from higher authorities to solve the case;

dry desire

Many thoughts were mixed together, raging and raging in Nie Chaofan's mind like a tornado.

Sweep everything away, and return to quiet again.

"Confession!"

Nie Chaofan raised his head with a fierce look in his eyes.

PS: Article 55 of the "Criminal Procedure Law" establishes the principle of "emphasizing evidence, emphasizing investigation and research, and not trusting oral confessions". But in reality, whether it was twenty years ago or now, confession is still the king of evidence.

The only difference is that in the early years, "emphasis was placed on oral confessions and less on evidence". Now, objective evidence such as physical evidence, documentary evidence, and audio-visual materials is needed to corroborate evidence. Evidence must be formed, otherwise the procuratorate will be in trouble.

That is to say, it is impossible to convict a person solely by confession, because the confession cannot be mutually confirmed. But in the actual handling of cases, other evidence can still be found, and if it cannot be found all at once, it can be found out through judicial appraisal first.

There will indeed be unjust, false and wrongly decided cases based on confessions alone; but all chains of evidence are required, and criminals who get away with it are also indispensable.

To put it a little deeper, a confession without evidence alone cannot convict a person.

Is this a reward and incentive for criminals who perfectly hide and destroy evidence?
