Chapter 463 Accidental Death
The sound of a pindrop could be heard in the conference room, and the only sound left was the sound of Chen Yi flipping through the files.
The two directors lit cigarettes and waited for Chen Yi to finish reading the file.
This case is actually quite simple. It is not a homicide. The suspect reported it to the police himself. All the criminal investigation team of the branch has to do is to investigate the scene and interrogate. After everything is clear, it is submitted directly to the procuratorate.
There are controversial points, but they are not something that the police need to consider. That is a matter for the court.
The victim, Yan Lina, is 28 years old, a professional bar dancer and DJ.
The suspect Yu Zhanlin, 32 years old, works as a cable laying contractor, that is, a contractor. He does not earn a particularly high amount, but it is certainly not comparable to working wages.
The two are in a relationship.
On the day of the incident, Yu Zhanlin went to Yan Lina's bar to drink after get off work. He drank until two in the morning. Then the two left and booked a room in a nearby hotel.
Yan Lina died around five o'clock in the morning. Yu Zhanlin called the police at seven o'clock. When the police arrived, Yan Lina had already developed rigor mortis.
The cause of death was rupture and bleeding of a basilar artery hemangioma, leading to diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage and central nervous system dysfunction.
The autopsy report showed that the underlying disease of the deceased was the main reason, and the high-emotion and strenuous "exercise" while drunk was the inducement. The combination of the two eventually led to the tragedy.
Basilar artery hemangioma is a benign disease and is not a terminal disease. Yan Lina's case is relatively mild and the size is so small that she does not need surgery. She may only occasionally have clinical manifestations of headache and nausea.
However, if you stay drunk for a long time and have huge emotional fluctuations that increase your blood pressure, it may cause the hemangioma to rupture.
Once ruptured, it can be life-threatening.
On the day of the incident, Yan Lina and her boyfriend drank at the bar until early morning, and then immediately went to the hotel. After continuous indulgence, the hemangioma ruptured and died. It was an accident in the procedure.
There is a hospital medical record that the deceased was suffering from an illness. The criminal investigation team of the branch also went to the hospital to find a doctor to confirm that there was no problem and that he was indeed ill.
Even though she has a disease that makes her unable to be stimulated, she still works as a lead dancer in a bar. Every day and every night, she is surrounded by feasting, screaming and loud music. This Yan Lina has a really big heart.
Even if he doesn't die in bed, he may die in a bar one day.
The person is dead and cannot ask why Yan Lina went to work in the bar. Judging from the time of the incident, Yan Lina should have done it on purpose. It was precisely because she learned that she was sick that she went to work in the bar and enjoy a life without worries.
The time she went to work at the bar was likely to have a causal relationship after she was diagnosed with the disease.
Seeing this, if the information is correct, Chen Yi basically believed the unexpected fact.
Yu Zhanlin said that he did not know that Yan Lina was ill. Yan Lina had never told him that since she did not know, legally, she could not force others to foresee the situation that the victim concealed, so there was no subjective wrongdoing.
The two were lovers, and they had gone to the hotel many times to book rooms without any coercion. Therefore, the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Taicheng Branch temporarily gave unexpected results after preliminary investigation.
At issue was the discovery of sadomasochistic tools in the hotel room.
So, was it an accident or a mistake?
Yu Zhanlin and Yan Lina drank. Yu Zhanlin took Yan Lina to the hotel. Yu Zhanlin had sex with Yan Lina in the hotel and used whips and binding tools.
The most important thing is that Yu Zhanlin said this is the first time.
The two have been in love for two years, and the first time led to Yan Lina's death. There is suspected to be a causal relationship.
Also, Yan Lina drank a lot at the time. When she entered the hotel, she could see that her walking posture was wrong, but she was barely conscious.
Barely awake, the ability to resist will be greatly reduced. So did Yu Zhanlin unilaterally force the use of tools? Do psychopaths like this kind of trick?
The Criminal Investigation Brigade visited Yu Zhanlin's ex-girlfriend, who gave a positive answer: Yu Zhanlin has this habit.
The question is, since the day of the crime was Yan Lina's first time, which means that she had not agreed before, then Yu Zhanlin probably forced himself on Yan Lina after she was drunk.
The Criminal Investigation Brigade interrogated Yu Zhanlin. He said there was no force and Yan Lina agreed.
There is no text chat record to prove the one-sided story, so the point of dispute arises.
If Yu Zhanlin forced Yan Lina to use a tool when she was drunk, it would not be an accident, but manslaughter.
The case went directly to court, and after many court sessions, it was finally ruled that Yu Zhanlin was acquitted and Yan Lina's family was compensated 1.5 million.
The person is dead, and it is difficult to tell clearly what happened between the couple, and there is no doubt about the guilt.
What if Yan Lina really volunteers? What if Yan Lina also wants to seek excitement? Unable to verify.
The simple and clear process of the crime. After reading the last page, Chen Yi closed the file and put it back in the file box.
"Captain Chen, how are you?" Director Li asked.
Chen Yi habitually tapped the table with one finger. Zhan Lin's confession, autopsy results, and autopsy photos flashed through his mind. He reconstructed the entire incident and finally believed that there were doubts in the case.
But he didn't say it.
The doubts lie in two aspects.
First, there are traces of binding on the wrists of the deceased Yan Lina.
The maximum stress point of the binding marks is in the inward direction of the wrist, not the sides, which shows that Yan Lina may have been bound with her hands behind her back.
This is nothing at all. Being tied in front or behind has no impact on this case. But the problem is that when Yu Zhanlin was interrogated, he was talking about Yan Lina being tied up with her hands in front of her.
There is suspicion of lying.
Of course, this may also occur due to differences in binding methods, which is not enough to overturn the confession. It can only be said that under normal circumstances, the traces are wrong.
Second, it took two hours for the police to be called. The Criminal Investigation Brigade asked this question. Yu Zhanlin’s explanation was that he thought Yan Lina fell asleep and ignored her, and then fell asleep himself.
Chen Yi didn't quite believe it.
After a long night of drinking and exercising, Yu Zhanlin woke up after only two hours of sleep?
Also, did he really not notice anything unusual about Yan Lina?
Blood vessel rupture occurs instantly, and the reaction is syncope. It can only happen when the physical and mental stimulation reaches its peak. You can't be fine when you are stimulated, but die in your sleep after losing stimulation?
unreasonable.
If you faint when you are stimulated, the first reaction under normal circumstances is to try to wake up, rather than ignore it.
Furthermore, how can a person fall asleep when they are strongly stimulated?
Just imagine, your partner fell asleep while you were having sex on the bed. Is this reasonable? That's a real slap in the ass, something you'll never see once in eight lifetimes. How bad a man is, boring a woman to the point of falling asleep.
Therefore, Chen Yi was skeptical about Zhan Lin's confession.
From a rational perspective, Yu Zhanlin should call the police immediately.
So why didn't he call the police immediately? Because you are afraid, why are you afraid? Because his mistake caused Yan Lina's death, not an accident.
Ninety-nine percent of people who encounter this kind of situation will definitely call the police immediately. They have no worries. Of course, they will have the police come to deal with it as soon as possible to minimize the seriousness of the matter. The rest is left to fate.
What do you mean by waiting two hours?
There are Yu Zhanlin's call records in the file. He did not call anyone at that time, and there was no behavior of moving reinforcements.
So what did he do?
It took more than half an hour to be scared, dazed, and doubtful about life. It took more than half an hour to rearrange the scene. It took more than half an hour to do psychological construction and think about how to answer the police interview. It took two hours in total.
is that so?
Chen Yi's inference was not that he thought Yu Zhanlin was guilty, nor was he biased towards vulnerable groups. The police's mentality was to be suspicious of everything and not to speak out easily.
Only you know what you think.
The truth comes from existing evidence clues and a lot of trial and error thinking.
"Um……"
Chen Yi looked deep in thought and answered Bureau Li with action, meaning it was difficult to say for the time being.
Seeing this, Director Li changed the subject: "Have you eaten, Captain Chen? How about we chat while eating? Taicheng and Yangcheng are so close that they don't have any local characteristics. Can we just eat something? It's our first meeting. Let me do my best." friendship.”
On the other hand, Yu Po's expression changed a bit. How could he still be thinking about eating? If he didn't just say it was okay, then there was something wrong?
He wanted to ask more, but he held back the words.
The identity of the person involved in the case is special. Not only must he avoid suspicion during the investigation procedures, but he must also not be too obvious when talking in private, as this can easily lead to misunderstandings.
It can't be said to be a misunderstanding. Who wouldn't turn to his relatives? Everyone has selfish emotions.
Chen Yi pushed the file back and didn't mention it again, and said with a smile: "I haven't eaten yet, I'm already hungry. I ate their special fried chicken in Yicheng some time ago, and I still miss it now."
He had already sent a message to Fang Shuyu saying that he had something to do with Taicheng and that he might not be able to go back tonight. The other party responded with a series of speechless expressions.
The meal is ready.
Hey, that's what being a police officer means, you have to understand each other.
"Okay, let's go to Yicheng Fried Chicken." Director Li said excitedly, "I know there is a good shop. Friends from the bureau often go there. Are you leaving now? Lao Yu, please come with us and call the others. "
He was referring to all deputy bureaus.
Just when Yu Po was about to agree, Chen Yi said that it was very late and just let Bureau Li accompany him alone. There was no need for so many people.
Bureau Li did not insist.
Things ended like this tonight. The deputy bureau chiefs who had been waiting for a long time left one after another after receiving the notice, including Yu Po, who was suspicious.
When they arrived at the place, Chen Yi asked Director Li to call the leader in charge of the case together before ordering.
Two people, one is the deputy bureau responsible for reviewing the case, and the other is Sun Shuxiang, the captain of the criminal investigation team responsible for investigating the case.
Director Li didn't have any surprises. He seemed to have guessed it. After agreeing, he called two people to inform each other of the location.
Then, order and wait.
"These are all outstanding talents under Team Chen, right? Introduce them?" Bureau Li started chatting.
Chen Yi mentioned the names and positions one by one, and everyone became familiar with each other.
Director Li poured tea for Chen Yi and said inadvertently: "Is there a problem with the case?"
The reason why the director is the director must be outstanding. He can see that Chen Yi has found a suspicious point and may be ready to re-investigate.
If a problem is found, many people will be affected.
Needless to say, Yu Po, the person involved in the case is his nephew. In addition to Yu Po, Sun Shuxiang, who is in charge of the case, and the deputy director may also be held accountable.
Merits are rewarded and mistakes are punished. The reward and punishment mechanism is open and transparent, and it is the same everywhere.
Chen Yi: "You can't say there is a problem. We will discuss it later while chatting."
Director Li nodded: "Okay."
Sun Shuxiang and Sun Shuxiang were very fast. They drove over immediately after receiving the call. Although they had already eaten, they knew that Bureau Li's hurried call to them was definitely not just for a simple meal.
The two met at the door of the hotel, had a brief exchange and reached an agreement. When they went in later, they would look at Director Li more often and say as little as possible what they shouldn't say.
The research team suddenly arrived at Taicheng in the middle of the night. They went straight into the Tieping branch without going anywhere. Of course, it was impossible to see the scenery.
"Bureau Li."
"Team Chen."
After entering the room, the two of them sat down. The table for twelve people was just right and very loose.
Chen Yi did not correct the lies and directly asked about Yan Lina's case. Only then did the two of them understand that the other party came here for this matter.
Yan Lina’s case?
The sentence has been over. There is no evidence to prove that Yu Zhanlin had any subjective intention, and there is no evidence to prove that Yu Zhanlin was at fault. The two were lovers, and Yan Lina's disease was caused by opening a room. It was purely an accident.
Legally speaking, it is enough to pay compensation, but not to the extent of going to jail.
The deputy director's surname was Wu. Chen Yi's attention was first focused on him. If Liu Ping had any helpers, they must be internal personnel who had participated in the investigation of this case. They were directly involved and could understand the entire case in detail.
It's possible for anyone, but Deputy Director Wu is more questionable.
Knowing the research team, knowing who the leader of the research team is, knowing the itinerary of the research team, and knowing that the research team is leaving Yicheng today, they should have some status and be well-informed.
If it's really Deputy Director Wu, it's hard to guess the motive. It can't be for justice, right? He can give justice to the victim himself, so why go through such a long circle and ask the investigation team to come over.
Therefore, either this person is not him, or his motives are not pure.
The same is true for Sun Shuxiang. He is the chief investigator of this case. Unless Yu Po put pressure on him in private, he is his direct superior after all.
But does Yu Po dare to speak easily to the person who was just transferred? This cannot be done through a simple superior-subordinate relationship. Once the incident comes to light, everything will be over.
"You two can guarantee the authenticity of the dossier, right?" Chen Yi asked this question.
Deputy Director Wu did not dare to answer and looked at Director Li quietly. Sun Shuxiang, after learning that Chen Yi did not care about the case, immediately said: "I use the police uniform on my body to assure Captain Chen that it is absolutely true. I investigated everything." of."
Everyone in the research team looked at Sun Shuxiang.
He has a bit of an upright temperament, which is good.
Sun Shuxiang spoke, followed closely by Deputy Director Wu: "I believe in Captain Sun."
He did not participate in the investigation of the case. He listened to whatever Sun Shuxiang said at that time. As the deputy bureau in charge of the command center, legal brigade, detention center and five police stations, he occasionally reviewed a criminal case and would not interfere too much.
As long as there are no huge loopholes and illegal procedures.
"The relationship between Deputy Director Wu and Deputy Director Yu is not very good?" Chen Yi said.
Hearing this, Deputy Bureau Wu was stunned, and subconsciously turned to look at Bureau Li, and then said: "Team Chen, there is absolutely no connection between the two. I think this is why the Bureau handed the case to me."
Chen Yi nodded: "I understand, don't just sit around and eat vegetables. Yicheng's fried chicken won't taste good if it's cold."
The two of them picked up their chopsticks and ate some symbolically. They were being polite, but their stomachs were already full.
"Captain Sun, there is no record of Yan Lina's drinking capacity in the file." Chen Yi mentioned this matter.
Blood alcohol content cannot indicate the status of a drinker. Everyone's alcohol capacity is different. Some people can get drunk after just one drink, while others can drink all the time.
Because it is impossible to tell the state of a drinker, there are strict standards for drunk driving. It cannot be said that you can drive just because you are drunk.
Sun Shuxiang put down his chopsticks and said, "The surveillance shows that Yan Lina was sober when she entered the hotel. There is no need to check the amount of alcohol, right?"
Chen Yi: "It's really unnecessary to think normally. Yan Lina's blood alcohol content is 320 milligrams per 100 milliliters. How much did she drink? Does alcohol contain blood?"
Drunk driving is 80, and Yan Lina’s is 320, which is four times higher, and this is after several hours of human body decomposition.
Sun Shuxiang said: "I did drink a lot. According to the interview results, I drank more than ten bottles of beer and about a pound of whiskey."
I can still walk after drinking this, which is a very impressive drinking level.
Chen Yi: "But Yu Zhanlin didn't drink a lot."
Sun Shuxiang: "It's quite a lot, but not as many as Yan Lina."
While chatting, Chen Yi picked up a piece of chicken from the plate and said, "Is it possible that Yu Zhanlin got Yan Lina drunk on purpose?"
Sun Shuxiang never thought about it and froze: "Huh? On purpose?"
Chen Yi ate the meat: "Let's talk casually. You don't need to think too much. From the dossier, there is a basis for reasonable suspicion."
Sun Shuxiang was not sure what Chen Yi wanted to express. Is it a tool for sadomasochism?
Get drunk?
Even if you get drunk, it doesn't seem to affect the result? According to all the clues the police have, Yan Lina's death was indeed an accident. The investigation is based on actual clues and cannot make wild guesses.
The main reason is that Yu Zhanlin doesn't know that Yan Lina is sick, which is very important.
Also, she wasn't drunk. Yan Lina did walk into the hotel sober, just a little drunk.
After entering the room, I didn't know. Everything Yu Zhanlin said was correct, otherwise there would be no controversy.
