Xu Zhuoran turned to Liu Chenlong and said, "Secretary Liu, I was not such a person who insisted on it. But one thing has taught me too much. It has been more than ten years since then, and I still can't help but be afraid when I think about it!"

Liu Chenlong said "Oh" with interest and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xu Zhuoran shook his head and said, "It was in 1993. I was still the director of the Criminal Prosecution Procuratorate of the Municipal Procuratorate. At that time, Director Xu Zhigang from the Provincial Public Security Department was the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and Deputy Director Gu Chengbing of the Provincial Procuratorate was the deputy prosecutor general in charge of criminal prosecution work in the Municipal Procuratorate!"

Liu Chenlong had heard of this grudge. Since Xu Zhigang and Gu Chengbing had a quarrel that day, there were many people in the province and city, and people always used the allusion from that year as a topic of conversation after dinner. Although Liu Chenlong was not very gossipy, he almost understood what was going on after hearing it. But he didn't expect that Xu Zhuoran was also one of the parties involved.

Xu Zhuoran continued: "There was a case at that time, and the Public Security Bureau sent it to report the arrest..."

He glanced at Liu Chenlong and said, "To be honest, that case is much more evidence than Chairman Wang's case now, at least in the file sent by the Public Security Bureau!"

Liu Chenlong frowned slightly and asked, "What is the case?"

Xu Zhuoran showed a look of memories: "It was a murder case. The deceased was an elementary school teacher. He had just renovated the house and was about to get married when his girlfriend was transferred from another place the next year. As a result, after the renovation, the school found that he had not been to class, so he went to his house to find him. He found that he was hacked to death at home with an axe!"

Xu Zhuoran took a sip of tea and continued: "After the public security organs performed forensic identification on the deceased, they found that the deceased's wound was caused by an axe used by a carpenter. The teacher's neighbor knew from the teacher that the teacher had an argument with the carpenter over salary issues before the accident. The carpenter also said harsh words to the deceased, saying that if the deceased did not give enough money, he would not be able to live!"

"So this carpenter became the first suspect of course, and the only fingerprint extracted by the Public Security Bureau except the deceased on the scene happened to be exactly the same as him. In the file sent by the Public Security Bureau at that time, the carpenter fully admitted his crime. It can be said that I thought it was completely possible to approve the arrest!"

Liu Chenlong was fascinated by the fact that he added tea to Xu Zhuoran and asked, "What's next?"

Xu Zhuoran said: "But the careful Gu Jian found that there were still doubts in this case. First of all, the weapon of the case was not found. If we look at the file sent by the Public Security Bureau, the carpenter confessed to his crime, and the time, location and details of the confession were exactly the same as the actual situation, but he just didn't say or couldn't tell where the weapon was. This was unreasonable and very problematic!"

Liu Chenlong nodded and said, "Not bad!"

Xu Zhuoran continued: "And the clear fingerprints used by the Public Security Bureau for the comparison of the carpenter were extracted from the inside of the wardrobe. Of course, it can be explained that it was a murderer who went through the cabinet to find property, but it was also entirely possible that it was left by the carpenter when making furniture, because this wardrobe was originally made by this carpenter, and it was basically not used after completion. It is very normal to leave the carpenter's fingerprints! It is simply untenable to use this as evidence!"

Liu Chenlong said: "Yes, then this case should be very obvious!"

Xu Zhuoran looked at Liu Chenlong and smiled bitterly: "Secretary Liu, you are a bystander!"

He sighed: "So, the subjective orientation of a man is terrible. At that time, all the evidence was actually not good for the carpenter. The carpenter said in person what he threatened the deceased, and the deceased really owed him the last money to make furniture, and had enough motives for crime. On the day of the murder, the carpenter quarreled with his wife and ran out. No one saw where he went, and there was no evidence of being absent. So now, these suspicious points seem obvious, but at that time, they were completely ignored. After all, it can be said that he was too afraid of the weapon and forgot to throw it away, and fingerprints were even more controversial!"

Xu Zhuoran smiled and said, "And there is a very important point. The city leaders attach great importance to such murders. They are supervised by the leaders and solved the case within a time limit. So the Public Security Bureau was very anxious at that time. As soon as the carpenter caught, they created the influence. They said that the reaction was quick and the case was solved in time. The city media reported it, which made us anxious. On the other hand, people's emotions can really easily affect people's judgment. At least at that time, when the entire Procuratorate Committee was discussing this case, only Gu Prosecutor insisted that the evidence was insufficient, and others felt that it was possible to approve arrests and prosecutions!"

Only then did Liu Chenlong understand a little why Xu Zhuoran clearly emphasized at the meeting of the "June 24th Incident" working group that the case cannot be handled with subjective intentions, it turned out that there were experiences and lessons.

Xu Zhuoran continued: "For example, I always believed that this carpenter was the murderer at the Procuratorate Committee. We cannot let the murderer go to justice because of some suspicions. I was a regular law student, but at that time I always felt that what we wanted should not be fair on the surface, but to seek real fairness for the deceased. These suspicions are completely explainable! We cannot let the murderer go because of this, otherwise we will be sorry for the deceased's spirit in heaven!"

Liu Chenlong was silent, thinking about Xu Zhuoran's words.

Xu Zhuoran continued: "At that time, Prosecutor Ni from the Municipal Procuratorate was not overbearing and respected the opinions of the deputy procurator general in charge, so the case was finally returned for additional investigation. I remember that Director Xu of the Public Security Bureau was very angry at that time and said that our procuratorate was deliberately looking for trouble, but in the end, he took into account the face of the procuratorate. After returning the supplement, he did some text modification work and handed over the file!"

He paused, looked at Liu Chenlong and smiled bitterly, "Secretary Liu, I feel really ashamed when I remembered that time. At that time, our Criminal Procuratorate and the Public Security Bureau had always cooperated well. I was a classmate of the Deputy Director Chen, who was in charge of investigation in the Municipal Bureau. After hearing his complaints several times, I also felt dissatisfied with Prosecutor Gu. Moreover, there was something wrong with Prosecutor Gu and Director Xu because of some private matters, so I had a dispute with Prosecutor Gu at the Procuratorate Committee, complaining that he had abolished the public for personal gain and ignored the overall situation, and said... and said..."

He lowered his face and said, "I also said that Gu Jian is too domineering and not democratic at all!"

He was silent for a while before saying, "Actually, Gu Jian has always been very obsessed with me. At that time, I was so arrogant that I was easily offended. I graduated from a regular law undergraduate but worked in the Criminal Prosecution Department for nearly ten years and was still a prosecutor. It was not until Prosecutor Gu took office that he promoted me to the position of director step by step. At that time, he probably didn't expect that the first person who jumped out to oppose him would be me..."

"Later, everyone talked and persuaded Gu Jian. He had no choice but to pass the arrest decision of the carpenter. At that time, the city repeatedly asked to be quicker and more serious, so we even made the indictment in less than half a month. If it weren't...If it weren't..."
