I asked you to pursue a career, but you turned out to be a scumbag

Chapter 149 Overturning the verdict

"Government, my nephew and I are truly wronged. We didn't do anything wrong. We just gave her a ride out of kindness, but we were treated as criminals..."

Although twenty years have passed, for the uncle and nephew, it is as if it happened yesterday and they remember every detail clearly.

Because for the past twenty years, they have been recalling everything that happened that day in their minds every moment, hoping that someone would stand up and give them justice and clear their name.

As he narrated, the outline of the entire case appeared in Zhang Hao's mind. The first part roughly matched, but the latter part was slightly different from what was written in the case file.

"You mean the girl got off the bus halfway." Zhang Hao said.

"Yes, government. When she walked to the back, she was going a different way than us, so she got off the car. My uncle and I returned home, but we were still sleeping on the kang when we were taken to the police station naked." Shen Hongchang nodded.

Zhang Hao nodded slightly and said, "Since you didn't do it, why did you sign the confession and confession?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Hongchang immediately reached out to lift up his clothes.

Lu Chenghong immediately scolded: "What do you want to do?"

Shen Hongchang whispered, "Captain, I just want the government to see my injuries."

Then he lifted up his clothes and saw that his hunched body was covered with scars, which were obviously left a long time ago.

Shen Hongchang choked up as he said, "The government, we refused to admit it, so they hung us up and beat us. They also denied us food and water. We couldn't hold on any longer and felt that only death would bring us relief, so we signed the papers!"

Lu Chenghong immediately scolded him, "Shut up! Stop talking nonsense and slandering our government officials. We won't do such things as forcing people to confess under torture."

Zhang Hao remained silent. It would be impossible to use torture and inducement to confess now, but twenty years ago, when the law was not yet very sound, it was understandable that such a thing would be done.

Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will handle this case to the end. If you are wrongly accused, I will clear your name!"

Shen Hongchang pulled Shen Lianwei to kneel in front of Zhang Hao, his voice choked with tears as he kowtowed heavily to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao quickly helped the two of them up. There were surveillance cameras in the reception room now. If this video was accidentally leaked out and maliciously edited by someone, it would definitely affect his career.

Lu Chenghong had uncle and nephew Shen Hongchang taken away, then said to Zhang Hao, "Prosecutor Zhang Hao, are you serious? Are you really going to help them overturn the verdict?"

Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Of course. As a prosecutor, this is my duty."

"Then I wish you a successful start!" said Lu Chenghong.

……

After leaving the prison, Zhang Hao returned directly to the procuratorate.

Looking back at the details of the case again, can we find evidence through clues that the two were not the murderers?

At this time, Yiang also came over, of course he didn't come to laugh at Zhang Hao.

Asking Zhang Hao to handle this case yesterday was actually a warning to Zhang Hao, telling Zhang Hao that he, the director, still existed in the Inspection Department.

Before doing anything, at least report to yourself first.

Now that the warning has been given, the case must be taken back. After all, Shen Hongcai is above Zhang Hao.

This is too much, it's no different from humiliating Shen Hongcai.

"Xiao Zhang, what do you think of the case I gave you yesterday?" Yiang asked.

Zhang Hao took a look and said, "Director, I've already done most of the research. I've even visited the suspect in prison. This case is very problematic."

"yesterday I……"

Yiang suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Zhang Hao: "What did you say?"

"There is something wrong with this case. It might be a false accusation. We have to clear the suspect." Zhang Hao said seriously.

Yiang is feeling a little bad now. He originally wanted to say that he had taken the wrong case. This is an old case and there is no need to re-examine it. How did it become a false case?

"you sure?"

Zhang Hao nodded and said, "That's right, Director. You see, this record is missing the most important part. No fingerprints or DNA belonging to either of them were found on the victim. How can they be convicted of both of them as the murderer?"

"This case was judged 20 years ago. Technology was not advanced at that time, so it is normal that these things were not detected. The confession of the suspect is enough. I made a mistake in handling this case yesterday. You don't need to continue." Yiang said.

Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "Director, this case must continue to be investigated. What are our responsibilities as prosecutors?"

"Our responsibility is to ensure that the suspect faces justice and never wrongly accuse a good person."

"Now that we've discovered there's something fishy about a case from twenty years ago, and the suspect is still alive, we must clear his name."

"Okay, tell me, this case happened twenty years ago, and the victims' bodies have turned to ashes. How can you clear their names?" Yiang asked.

Zhang Hao replied, "It's very simple. Although the victim is gone, the police officers who were suspects are still alive. As long as we can prove that they used torture to extract a confession, then the confession can be overturned, and the trial result will naturally be overturned."

"Haha, you think the problem is too simple." Yiang sneered.

This case has been kept in the procuratorate for many years, and new appeal materials are submitted every year.

Why is no one dealing with it?

On the one hand, the time is too long and the witnesses and evidence are long gone.

On the other hand, except for those who have retired, the police, prosecutors, and judges who were involved in the case are basically in high positions.

The prosecutor who was in charge of the case back then is now a leader in the Provincial Procuratorate.

If he wants to overturn the case now, doesn’t that mean he was wrong back then?

By then, I will definitely offend a lot of people. Who would do such a thankless task?

"No matter how simple or complicated it is, I have investigated this case!" Zhang Hao said firmly.

Yiang felt that Zhang Hao would not turn back until he hit the wall.

He said angrily: "You want to investigate, right? Then investigate thoroughly. I want to see how you can overturn the verdict!"

He left this sentence and turned away.

This case involves so many people, even if Shen Hongcai is protecting Zhang Hao from behind, it will be useless. Since he wants to seek his own death, there is no need to stop him!
