Chapter 41: Moral Blackmail? You Can't Represent All the Police!

"Damn it, I've been tricked by this kid!"

Nie Zhengyang suddenly realized. A lawyer not only ignoring legal statutes but also studying military strategies - who could guard against that?

"Cough cough cough..."

"Summon Officer Yang Yong, the interrogator from back then."

Nie Zhengyang helplessly struck the gavel. All conversations in the courtroom would be recorded and had legal effect.

At this moment, if he wanted to favor his colleague from the public security bureau, it would definitely not work under the watchful eyes of everyone.

There was no other way. As long as Lin Chuan really had evidence, Yang Yong should be judged as he deserved. Excluding personal relationships, there must be no leniency.

"Presiding Judge, I'm Yang Yong, the one who took down the statement for Zhu Lin back then."

Yang Yong was dressed in a police uniform, and the two stripes on his shoulder represented his rank.

Thirty years had passed. He had risen step by step from the interrogator back then and was now the head of a department in the city bureau.

"Is what Lin Chuan stated just now true?"

"Were you derelict in your duties or even intentionally destroyed evidence during the interrogation process as an interrogator back then?"

Presiding Judge Nie Zhengyang had a stern face. The police were part of the political and legal system and received specialized legal training before taking up their posts. Therefore, if Lin Chuan was not lying, Yang Yong's behavior would be considered knowingly breaking the law, which was no different from smearing the public security system.

"Presiding Judge."

"I heard what the plaintiff's lawyer said just now very clearly."

"His words are completely unfounded!"

Yang Yong straightened his back. In such an occasion, even if he really felt guilty, he must not lose in terms of momentum.

The past events had become history.

As a police officer, he had received professional training and knew that no clues should be left behind.

Therefore, he had destroyed all the evidence cleanly, leaving no evidence for the dead to testify.

"Officer Yang Yong!"

"At this point, don't you still admit your crimes back then?"

Lin Chuan's eyebrows were inverted into a V shape. Yang Yong, as a police officer, actually had no remorse for his dangerous crimes back then and chose to evade.

Lin Chuan felt disgusted and scornful of such cowardly behavior.

"Presiding Judge."

"I suspect that the plaintiff's lawyer has ulterior motives and deliberately slanders me!"

"What I represent are tens of thousands of police comrades."

"We work diligently."

"But unexpectedly."

"In return, we get insulted and slandered."

"What Lin Chuan is doing is not only targeting me but also all the comrades in our public security system."

"Presiding Judge."

"Lin Chuan is smearing the people's police. I request the court to order him to publicly apologize to our public security system immediately!"

Yang Yong was also a graduate of the Political and Legal University. Instead of becoming a lawyer, he entered the public security system. Therefore, he also had some knowledge of the law.

"Officer Yang Yong."

"First of all, I must correct one thing."

"You."

"Can't represent all police comrades!"

"I."

"The person I'm targeting has always been only you. The crime you committed will be forever nailed to the pillar of shame in the police circle from today on!"

Lin Chuan stared at Yang Yong. He found that Yang Yong was much more difficult to deal with than Tang Fuming.

This person was very calculating, deliberately tying him together with all police comrades.

Doing so would make the audience think that Lin Chuan's accusation just now was an insult to the public security system.

However, Lin Chuan was smarter than him.

Since you want to play moral blackmail, then I won't accompany you. Just directly present the evidence from back then. Justice will prevail in the hearts of the people.

"Presiding Judge."

"The tape in my hand is the recording of Yang Yong interrogating Zhu Lin back then."

"There's a part of the recording."

"I feel something is wrong."

"Because the time gap between the front and back is too long. I suspect that this tape has been edited by Yang Yong."

Lin Chuan placed the tape in front of the camera, which the live audience could see clearly.

"Hahaha, all are memories from my youth. How many years has it been since I last saw a tape?"

"Yeah, the post-2010s in the live broadcast room definitely don't know what this is, right?"

"This is called a tape!"

"We used this to play music back then. It was so exciting."

...

The middle-aged people in the live broadcast room were no strangers to tapes. In the 1990s, tapes carried so many musical memories.

With the rapid development of technology, tapes gradually faded out of the historical stage.

But back then, tapes were an important tool for the police to record statements.

"Please play the tape recording, officer."

Nie Zhengyang focused on that tape. There were stickers on the tape case, recording the specific time and case name of the tape recording. This recording was borrowed by Lin Chuan from the archives of Gangcheng District Police Station.

"Okay, Presiding Judge."

Section 55

The officer took the tape from Lin Chuan's hand, but the backstage staff became flustered.

A tape?

How many years had it been since they last saw this thing?

What was used to play it, a tape recorder or a Walkman? The staff in the court's backstage searched everywhere and finally found a tape player in the tool storage room. The old dust covered the body.

Obviously, this machine hadn't been on the courtroom scene for many years.

...

Three minutes later, the officer put the tape into the player and pressed the play button. The gears creaked and turned. At the same time, the speaker of the machine began to vibrate, making a clattering noise.

Back then, technology was not developed, and tapes were the most common recording tool. At that time, people didn't pay much attention to the quality of the audio source. As long as it could record completely, it was okay.

Functionality was more important.

But now, with the development of technology, recording tools have gone through several generations of updates, and the quality of recordings has become better.

There was static in the player.

"Zhu Lin, you're awake. I'm Officer Yang Yong from Gangcheng District Police Station." "You've been diagnosed with thallium poisoning. Your father suspects that someone intentionally poisoned you. I want to ask you a few questions."

...

"Uncle policeman, you... you can ask. I'm in so much pain."

...

"How are your relationships with your roommates in the dormitory? Have you had any conflicts or frictions with them?"

"Hey hey hey?"

"Are you still listening? You fainted again!"

...

"Uncle policeman, I... I didn't have any conflicts with my roommates... I'm in so much pain. Can I survive?"

...

"Please recall carefully. Did any roommate touch your utensils?"

...

"I... the tooth cups in the dormitory were all uniformly placed on the washbasin. I don't know if anyone touched my cup."

...

Rustling rustling...

"Rustling rustling..."

"Wake up! Wake up! Did you notice any abnormal behavior from your roommates? Recall carefully. This is all important evidence!"

"Hey! Wake up."

...

The 30-minute recording content actually didn't have much dialogue.

When the recording played to a certain point, Lin Chuan suddenly raised his hand to signal.

"Right here!"

"There was a five-minute silence."

"I believe that in the original recording file, there was recording content here, but it was destroyed afterward!"
