Chapter 68 Justifiable Defense?

The capital city in January is already cold enough, especially at night, without sunlight, the freezing cold sweeps across the land.

As the party upstairs came to an end, Min Xue held up his mobile phone and stood at the door of the CCTV building with a dazed expression, looking at Cai Xiangdong who hurried in from the outside.

"Didn't you go home to celebrate the New Year, and you ran back again, what's the trouble?"

Cai Xiangdong didn't have the hippie smile of the past, but instead had a dignified expression, "Let's go in first and talk about it later."

Today, the security guard at the gate is still the one who did his duty that day, but Min Xue has been hanging around there for so many days recently, and a temporary pass was easily obtained, and the two of them entered smoothly.

"What's the matter? Sheng Hong again?"

As the elevator went up, Min Xue couldn't help asking.

Although Cai Xiangdong's hometown is not far away, only more than two hours' drive away, except for this Highness, Min Xue really can't think of anyone else who can make Cai Xiangdong rush back to the capital the day before.

Cai Xiangdong nodded, uncharacteristically showing no negative emotions.

This is strange!Anyone who is called back like this at this time, can't feel too comfortable, right?What's more, Cai Xiangdong, who has always had a bad impression of Sheng Hong?
"It's serious?" Min Xue could only speculate.

Cai Xiangdong was silent for a while, and then slowly said, "It's very serious, come with me to the scene."

"On-site?" Min Xue noticed the word keenly, and a bad premonition welled up in his heart.

Min Xue only knows the approximate location of Sheng Hong's dressing room, because every celebrity who independently owns a dressing room will have his name posted on the door, so don't worry about finding a place.

But soon, Min Xue knew that his worries were unnecessary.

Because the door of a dressing room has been blocked by the police, the cordon has been pulled up.

From a distance, a strong smell of blood flooded into the nostrils.

Min Xue could be sure that this was Sheng Hong's dressing room, because he heard Sheng Hong's sobs faintly coming from inside the door.

Surrounded by a crowd of spectators in twos and threes, because the party is almost over, many people left early, so there are not many onlookers.

I didn't even want to go in, so I stood outside the door to take a look, but soon I didn't even see the excitement, because the crowd was dispersed immediately.

Cai Xiangdong took out his lawyer's card and walked towards a policeman on duty, "I'm Sheng Hong's lawyer, and I want to see Sheng Hong herself."

"I'm sorry, Sheng Hong is now involved in a criminal case and cannot contact the outside world for the time being." The police sternly refused.

Cai Xiangdong also knows that there is little hope. After all, the law clearly stipulates that the suspect can only appoint a lawyer as a defender from the date of the first interrogation by the investigative agency or the day when compulsory measures are taken.

"I know, I want to see the person in charge of the case, can I? I have relevant facts to explain." Cai Xiangdong asked again.

The policeman looked at Cai Xiangdong's ID and nodded, "I'll ask for instructions."

Afterwards, Cai Xiangdong was invited to a dressing room next door, and before leaving, he waved to Min Xue, and said to the fellow policeman, "This is also a witness."

So the two sat together in the dressing room next door.

"I'm also a witness?" Min Xue was a little confused, "This is a criminal case, so be serious."

"How could I mess around with things at work," Cai Xiangdong said with a reassuring expression on his face.

"So what the hell happened?" It's not a matter of privacy and privacy when it comes to criminal cases.

Cai Xiangdong sorted out his clues, and then said, "About eight or nine o'clock in the evening, I was chatting with my mother, and I received a call from Sheng Hong."

"Originally, I didn't want to pick her up when I saw it was her. If it's New Year's Eve, can it make people stop for two days?"

"As a result, Sheng Hong's calls came one after another. My mother found out that it was a customer, and she scolded her before answering."

"I didn't expect that when I answered the phone, Sheng Hong's tone was very panicked, mixed with crying, saying that she had killed someone!"

Min Xue, "...killed his husband?"

Cai Xiangdong nodded to confirm, "That's right, Mai Yuan is dead. But to be precise, it wasn't intentional killing, but self-defense."

"According to Sheng Hong, Mai Yuan came to her and said she wanted to talk alone, so she asked three assistants to go out and guard the door, but when they couldn't agree, Mai Yuan took out a knife and rushed forward. .”

"You also know that Mai Yuan is full of five poisons, and his body is almost gutted. Even though he was holding a knife, he still couldn't hit him with a single blow. During the struggle between the two sides, for some reason, the knife just cut the main artery of Mai Yuan's neck. "

This picture is indescribable.
"So, the testimony you mentioned means to prove that Mai Yuan has indeed always had the intention to hurt or even kill someone?"

"That's right, that's what it means. As you know, to determine justifiable self-defense in a criminal case, in addition to the ongoing illegal infringement and defensive awareness, many other factors must also be considered." Cai Xiangdong confirmed Min Xue's words again.

Min Xue expressed his understanding that the concepts of legitimate defense, excessive defense, and negligent death are sometimes difficult to define in reality.

Justifiable self-defense does not constitute a crime. Excessive self-defense and negligent death will result in conviction and sentencing. The difference between the three is quite large, and Cai Xiangdong cannot be careless.

Although Cai Xiangdong didn't like Sheng Hong very much, as a lawyer, no matter what the character of the client was, he had the same responsibilities.

After about half an hour, it was nearly one o'clock in the morning, and the door of the dressing room opened. A male policeman who was nearly thirty years old walked in with a young policeman.

He glanced at Min Xue in police uniform in surprise, and then the leading policeman introduced himself, "I am Peng Jitong from the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Zhaoyang Branch, and this is Police Officer Zhao."

According to the procedures, the young police officer Zhao is responsible for recording a series of information such as the names of the two of Min Xue.

Hearing Min Xue's personal information, Peng Jitong was a little surprised.

"So you are Min Xue?"

Min Xue, "?"

"Tsk, I heard the master mentioned that I recently met a very spiritual young man, and it must be you."

"Are you Guan's apprentice?"

Peng Jitong nodded.

Min Xuehe, Guan Hongji's apprentices are all over the country?There are actually even the capital.

The two did not talk in detail, after all, they were taking notes.

"I heard that you two know something about this case?"

Cai Xiangdong nodded, and repeated what he had learned to the two police officers in charge of the investigation of the case, and described how, as lawyer Sheng Hong, he was threatened by Mai Yuan when representing the case.

As a non-pure soy sauce party, Min Xue also said that when he was with Cai Xiangdong, he had indeed seen him being threatened with his own eyes.However, Min Xue was cautious about this, and did not confirm that the person who made the threat was Mai Yuan, but only speculated from common sense.

Although saying this may be a little unfavorable to Sheng Hong, speculation about criminal cases is meaningless. In the final analysis, everything still depends on the evidence.

And for some reason, Min Xue always had a weird feeling that there seemed to be something wrong with Sheng Hong's case?
