Chapter 62 Public Enemy ([-])

"According to the first aid report issued by the hospital, we saw that the victim died of severe closed head injury. Generally, there is no time to rescue the brainstem injury. If there is no spontaneous breathing within a few minutes after the axonal injury, he will die soon. I have checked DR.GOODMAN's technical papers, and the longest time of death is no more than 10 minutes. According to the defendant's statement and monitoring, he ran over to check the situation when he found out that he had hit someone, hesitated at the same place, and then got in the car and restarted. The time has been far longer than 10 minutes. In other words, the victim has died at this time."

Zhouzhuang does not agree with this. "DR. GOODMAN's thesis is only an overall result based on big data statistics, and it does not cover all situations [-]%. Every case may be different. Before there is no more definite evidence, I still think that the victim should not be assumed arbitrarily. already dead."

"What Dr. Zhou said is very reasonable. Let's take a look at page 7 of the autopsy report, which is the victim's injury identification page that Dr. Zhou explained to us before. It mentioned a comminuted skull fracture. May I ask who was involved in the car accident?" How many possibilities are there for causing a comminuted skull fracture?"

Zhouzhuang was about to answer, but was interrupted by Dongfangchai. "Can I ask Dr. Luo to answer this time?"

"Three. Hitting, falling and crushing."

"I saw in the report that multiple fracture lines on the deceased's head were truncated for analysis, and the deceased's head suffered more than one force. So how do you judge whether the deceased's head was formed by crushing?"

Dr. Luo looked at Zhou Zhuang in embarrassment and didn't know how to answer, because from his judgment, the cause of death could not be proved to be related to crushing.At that time, it was only under the pressure of Zhouzhuang that he signed the guarantee.

"If Dr. Luo can't answer, I'll tell you for you. This conclusion comes from Dr. Fang Chu in the emergency room of the Central Hospital. According to the injury identification and head photos in the autopsy report, no abrasions were found on the deceased's scalp, and the epidermis was peeled off." , only a large area of ​​bleeding under the skin of the pillow, but no bleeding on the face, and the wheel indentations are concentrated on the abdomen and legs. Therefore, it can be determined that the comminuted fracture of the head of the deceased has nothing to do with the crushing, and the cause of death of the deceased is the skull Serious brain damage."

This conclusion was exactly the same as what Dr. Luo had thought at the beginning. It was impossible for Zhou Zhuang not to know, but he just kept silent.

"If Dr. Zhou still feels that he cannot convince you professionally, I have another witness here. Please witness Wen Chu to testify in court."

A gentleman in a three-piece suit walked into the courtroom and took his hat to salute the presiding judge. It was the cat breeder he met in the cemetery.

"Mr. Wen, do you know the defendant or the victim's family?"

"I don't know each other, but I saw it in the news before. I had a relationship with the victim's husband and the doctor in court in the cemetery." Wen Chu's words were somewhat polite, but not annoying .

"Mr. Wen, please tell me what you saw and heard in the cemetery."

Zhou Zhuang and the victim's husband looked at each other with ugly expressions.

"I also overheard the doctor comforting the family members by saying, 'My condolences are in order, the deceased did not suffer too much'..." As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

[Zhouzhuang knew that today was the day when the victim was buried, so he went to the cemetery to pay homage.

This corpse was dissected by him. The fetus in the womb was full-term, but now it was a mass of dead flesh lying beside the mother.

In his many years of practice, he has dissected thousands of corpses, and it is not uncommon for him to be more tragic than this.But I don't know if it was affected by the recent overwhelming news, his compassion for this dead mother was unprecedentedly heavy.He even did not hesitate to block his reputation and falsify the autopsy report.

Whenever he had doubts about his decision, he would ask himself, wouldn't Nie Fei's behavior be enough to cut him to pieces?The result of the verdict depends on his stroke, on the one hand, the will of the people, and on the other hand, he can get away with it.He thinks he made the right choice.

When he saw the husband of the deceased crying in the cemetery holding two columbariums, Zhou Zhuang had a strong empathy, and impulsively pulled the husband aside and said: "My condolences will change. Maybe I will tell you this News, you will feel better. Your wife did not suffer too much pain before she died. Because of the high speed of the car, she was killed in the first collision, and the subsequent crush did not bring her unnecessary pain. She I left peacefully…”

When the victim's husband heard about it, he cried and cried, unable to extricate himself.

Little did they know that all of this was heard clearly by Wen Chu who was passing by, and this Wen Chu was born with a heart.

Dongfangchai looked at Zhou Zhuang with a dejected expression, feeling regretful. "It's very clear that the forensic doctor, who was supposed to stand on an absolutely neutral point of view, had an emotional bias, and falsified the autopsy report from it. The assistant medical doctor also neglected his duties, which caused a waste of police force, mana, and abuse of me. Misjudgment by the parties."

"I'm not wrong! You are a lawyer who makes money with no conscience! This Nie Fei is insane. He can use such vicious methods to disregard human lives for his own selfish desires. If he is allowed to escape the legal sanction this time, he will still do it after a few years. Harms the society. I just obey the public opinion and uphold justice, open your ears and listen to the voice of the public, please!"

"Heh. Obey the public opinion. That's really good. Forensic doctor Zhou, your words completely negate the meaning of the existence of us judicial workers. If we can judge a crime based on public opinion alone, we need lawyers who have studied law for many years. Prosecutors, what is the use of judges? The dignity of the law lies in its inalterability, and as judicial workers, what we maintain is the dignity of the law! In fact, what you say so much is just yielding to the so-called public opinion and giving up your professional ethics It’s just an excuse. The so-called justice in your mouth is stupid public opinion and group violence? If the people think that a person is guilty, that person should be sentenced to death directly without court trial?”

Dongfang Bai's words were so deafening that Zhou Zhuang slumped on the chair powerlessly, unable to refute.

He can no longer tell whether he made such a decision in order to maintain the justice in his heart, or was he afraid that his result would go against public opinion and be outraged by the public?
They all know that if Nie Fei wins this battle, not only the defense lawyers, but also the prosecution and judges will withstand unprecedented pressure and even become public enemies.

In the end, the judge still knocked down the gavel without hesitation, adjudging that Nie Fei was not guilty of intentional homicide. Nie Fei committed the crime of causing death in a traffic accident and the crime of insulting a corpse.

Because every judicial officer also understands in his heart that, as Dong Fangchai said, they all have the responsibility to uphold the dignity of the law.You must not become a person who follows others and is led by the nose by public opinion.

As soon as the verdict was announced, the family members of the victim collapsed on the ground, and although Nie Fei suppressed his joy, the expression of excitement was still overflowing on his face.He held Dongfang Bai's hand through the fence. "Thank you, thank you! Oriental Lawyer."

Dongfang Bai shook off his hand in disgust. "I'm not for you."

Tang Jibai watched from the side, and he glanced at Dongfangchai with some concern.The other party followed Wen Chu's footsteps and ran out of the court.

Outside the court, Wen Chu was about to leave with his white cat in his arms.

Dongfang Bai called to stop him from behind. "Mr. Wen, thank you so much for today's facts!"

"Miss Dongfang, you are polite. This is what every citizen should do. And what you said in court today has also benefited me a lot. At least it saved my money for this subway trip." His cold humor made Dongfangchai Laughed out loud.

"Please give me a chance to treat you to a meal to express my thanks."

"You're welcome. There are still people waiting for me in my family. There will be opportunities in the future."

Dongfang Bai mistakenly thought it was his wife, so it was inconvenient to stay any longer, so he waved goodbye to him.

Just sent Wen Chu away, when I turned on the phone, I found more than a dozen missed calls, all of which were from Wei Wan.

Tang Jibai ran down the stairs. "Wei Wan is now at the Public Security Bureau, and told us to go to court."

"Got it. Is there any news about Changle? What did he say?"

"Found...the body."

Dongfang Bai was obviously taken aback, the hand holding the car keys was shaking.

"Don't drive, I'll take you there." Dongfang Bai didn't object, and let him take the car keys.

Inside the Public Security Bureau, three people stood in front of the corpse covered with a white cloth.The corpse was swollen and deformed due to soaking for too long, and it was three times fatter than before, with no human shape visible.

"Isn't there no DNA? How can I be sure it's her?"

"The clothes are confirmed to be hers. The physical signs are also consistent with Changle." Wei Wan seemed to be numb, and gritted her teeth to say the result.

Dongfangchai covered her face with tears, Tang Jibai wanted to grab her shoulders, but she pushed her away and ran out.

The room fell into a deathly silence.

A cat jumped into the basement, into the arms of a woman lying on the floor, and licked her ashen cheeks.

Ding Changle slowly opened his eyes.First saw a white cat, then saw the man behind it.

The man squatted down and stretched out the phone screen in front of her.The local headlines read, "The body of an unknown woman was caught in the Mi River, and the family confirmed that it was Ding Moumou, the legal beauty who had been missing for half a month..."

"I believe... no one will come to you this time, right?"
