C39

There was a commotion in the courtroom. Some spectators who were watching from the side couldn't help but clap their hands.

"The court is adjourned." Following the order of the presiding judge, the spectators immediately broke into a commotion as they broke out into a flurry of discussion.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the court began to hold another session. After the study of the panel, the court made a judgment: the original judgment and the re-examination found that the original defendant Yang Wen had deliberately taken Su Heshan's life with a wrench were unclear, the evidence was insufficient, and the existing evidence could not prove that Yang Wen was guilty of intentional murder. According to the relevant provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, the criminal order No. 84 of Hunan High Court (× × × ×) and the criminal judgment No. 49 of Lai City People's Court (× × ×) shall be annulled, and Yang Wen shall be acquitted.

As soon as the announcement was made, the bailiff unlocked the handcuffs for Yang Wen, who and Yang Xue immediately cried out bitterly.

When Shen Yuan walked out of the court, Zhou Zhiqiang who was already waiting outside the door stepped forward and firmly held his hand, "I saw your brilliant defense in the court. I didn't expect you to be so powerful.

"So you have also come to listen." Shen Yuan said.

"I'm concerned about Yang Xue, so I will naturally care about her brother's matters as well."

"Hur hur." Shen Yuan replied, but his heart skipped a beat. How come he didn't know that Zhou Zhiqiang was worried about Yang Xue?

Zhou Zhiqiang smiled as he continued to flatter her, "Your erudite knowledge has overshadowed the Judge, and your talents have impressed all of the audience —"

"I just did my duty as an entomologist and felt the need to clarify the possible misunderstandings in the case. On the other hand, it is also an attempt to integrate expertise into judicial practice, which, in turn, will serve as a boost for my future research work. " Shen Yuan felt that he couldn't beat around the bush with Zhou Zhiqiang anymore, so he said, "Mr. Zhou, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. As long as it's something I can answer."

"Today, after hearing your argument, I have a question for you."

"Oh?"

"You said Su Heshan might still be alive, is that true?" Zhou Zhiqiang seriously asked, "In the field of entomological evidence, how sure are you of this?"

"There is indeed a contradiction between the time of death and the time of Su Heshan's death, but the DNA data show that the deceased and Su Heshan's mother shared the same blood relationship. To be honest, what happened at the scene, my mind is currently in a state of confusion. " Shen Yuan said.

Zhou Zhiqiang asked, "Did you come to Goose-Ridge Mountain to investigate the cause of Su Heshan's death?"

"You could say so. Without any warning, Su Heshan was killed. The blow was so fast that I was caught off guard. I don't want Su Heshan to die without a clear reason. Only by restoring the truth of this matter can my conscience be at peace. The insect experiment only partly revealed the truth, but there are still many mysteries that remain unsolved. "

"Who do you think is the real killer?"

"That's for the police."

"Do you think the police will find out?"

"Are you fishing?" Shen Yuan walked over and asked.

"Not very professional. Compared to others, I always catch the least amount of fish. " Zhou Zhiqiang didn't understand what she meant.

"The fishing process is actually a contest between a fisherman and a fish. The fish wanted to swallow the bait from the fishing rod and escape easily. For fishermen, catching fish at the right time is the only way to reap the rewards. I'm not like other fishermen. What I care about is whether or not a fish gets the most fun before it gets caught. "

Zhou Zhiqiang looked at Shen Yuan and did not speak for a few seconds.

Shen Yuan abandoned the dumbstruck Zhou Zhiqiang and walked towards the hotel. Just as he walked in front of the hotel, a familiar voice sounded from behind him, "Shen Yuan."

Shen Yuan turned around and saw Yang Xue chasing after him with a bunch of bright flowers.

"This is for you." As Yang Xue finished speaking, her face flushed red.

"This..." Shen Yuan stammered, "Yang Xue, what does this mean?"

"Thank you, thank you for saving my brother." Yang Xue said.

"You're welcome. This is something I'd like to do. "If it wasn't for this practical opportunity, how would I know what the forensic insect knowledge I've learned would do to society?"

"But you took the risk of losing your reputation in this case. Moreover, this lawsuit was essentially a defense for Yang Wen's innocence. As a result, the murderer of Su Hailin had become an unsolved crime. If the real murderer is not found, I think you will face many doubts and accusations. "

"Well, you're right. It looks like I've got a hornet's nest in this case. However, for the sake of science and justice, I am willing to do so. The judgment of the court gave me the best possible answer to my efforts during this period. Seeing your face once again smile like the spring breeze, I felt a lot more at ease in my heart. No matter how much trouble there is, it's just a type of seasoning in life. "

Yang Xue hid her phone behind her back, "Let's go. I'll bring you to a place today."

Then, Yang Xue stopped a taxi, and the driver stopped in front of a small hotel.

"What are you doing?"

Yang Xue smiled mysteriously, "Today is a special day. In addition to worrying, you will need to add some happy flavors to your life, hehe."

"You don't have to spend it --"

"I've only ordered a few dishes from the hotel to treat you to a meal."

"Why?"

"Thanks to your help, my brother never got a chance to thank you. "Since this is your special day, I won't bother if you want to show me your face or not."

"Of course I'm willing. To tell the truth, your actions of saving my brother deeply moved me. If I had a good sister like you, my life would always be filled with happiness. " Shen Yuan finally took the opportunity to express his feelings.

"Right, your mouth is almost comparable to Mr. Zhou Zhiqiang's."

Shen Yuan said, "It seems that Zhou Zhiqiang likes you."

"There's nothing going on between Zhou Zhiqiang and I." Yang Xue replied.

"Oh?"

Yang Xue said, "Zhou Zhiqiang only came to me because he had the information that he needed to translate. He didn't have any other intentions. Besides, there's someone beside him who's watching him. "

"The man who watched him? You mean Wang Kaili? "

"You know about it?"

"Everyone knows this. However, it could be seen that Zhou Zhiqiang didn't really like Wang Kaili. I thought Zhou Zhiqiang was already interested in you. Every time you appear in his line of sight, his eyes stare at you. "

"Haha, Zhou Zhiqiang only said a few words to me, but Wang Kaili almost ate me. They often go in and out of public places in pairs. As long as Zhou Zhiqiang is close to other women, I don't think Wang Kelly will allow it. " Yang Xue said, "You know, I secretly swore in my heart that as long as anyone saves my brother, I will marry him."

"You … I …" Shen Yuan blushed as he rubbed his hands.

"Are you still waiting for Su Heshan's sister?" Was it not confirmed by her parents? "

"Yes. Her parents identified the body on the spot and it was cremated. "

"Then what are you worried about?"

"In court, I never matched the time of the crime and I didn't agree with the crime scene, so I persuaded the judge to clear Yang Wen of the murder, but at the same time I also made a hole for myself, and that is that Su Heshan didn't die at that time. In that case, who was the girl who was cremated? Where was Su Heshan? Now all my fellow experts are watching how I'm going to end up. However, it is beyond my capabilities to investigate whether Su Hailan is dead or not. Lai City Public Security has said they will not continue the investigation. They can't slap themselves. "

"What are you going to do next?"

"I had to talk to Su Heshan's parents first. I let them down, and when I couldn't find the real culprit, I persuaded the judge to release Yang Wen. They would be very sad about it. After that, I'll have to talk to Tinway and see if he has a good idea or if he's willing to help me. " Shen Yuan said, "One more thing, the murderer must have intentionally planted Yangwen to move the corpse from the cave to the boat. If he was deliberately framing Yangwen, from luring him to play cards on the island to him becoming a 'murderer', these meticulous plans could not be accomplished by the murderer alone. Was there some kind of conspiracy? "And who is the mastermind behind this?"

"Do you really think that someone is framing Yangwen?"

"Yes, it looks as if it was premeditated. Didn't you and your family notice anything out of the ordinary about Yanwen? "

"Hmm, do you remember the key you found by the river, with a white iron ring on it?"

Shen Yuan nodded his head.

"There was a beetle on the ring, but my brother lost it." Then, Yang Xue told the story of the Golden Beetle to Shen Yuan.

"So this beetle is very important to the Taiwanese businessman. Someone might have taken a fancy to the beetle. "But, if we took away the beetle, why would we pin the crime of murder on Yang Wen?"

The two of them discussed the matter and felt that the complexity of the matter was beyond their imagination.
