Preface. There was a legendary female detective in the criminal investigation world, who was known as the "female Sherlock Holmes" for her superior intelligence and keen insight.
In her brilliant career, the crime solving rate is as high as 100%, and the culprits of crime have been brought to justice countless times, so that the balance of justice stands firmly in the hearts of the masses.
However, it is such a mythical figure who fell from the altar because of an unjust case, and suffered controversy and pain.
Wrongful convictions. Since 2000, Nie Haifen has presided over more than 350 mega cases, and her hand-bound case files can fill a 30-square-meter room.
For this reason, Nie Haifen has won many awards, and was rated as the "38" Red Flag Bearer of Zhejiang Province and a provincial criminal investigation expert.
It stands to reason that he should be an experienced connoisseur, but among them, only the case of a pair of Zhang's uncles and nephews in Hangzhou has caused Nie Haifen to fall into controversy.
It was 2003, and a gruesome case suddenly appeared in Hangzhou, where the body of an unknown woman was dumped in a ditch.
This accident happened suddenly, the impact was extremely bad, and the local people were afraid of it all day long, so the relevant departments must solve the case as soon as possible.
According to the preliminary autopsy, the victim was naked, with multiple wounds on his body, and an obvious scar on his neck, which seemed to have been violated and thrown into a stinky ditch at will.
Now the most important thing is to confirm the identity of the deceased first, and then determine the scope of **, but unfortunately the initial investigation did not yield many clues.
The local ** found Nie Haifen for help, and then according to the monitoring along the way and many visits to the masses, the victim's action route at that time was finally basically confirmed.
and then basically circled the identity of the first, that is, the uncle and nephew of the truck driver Zhang Gaoping, who now has basic clues, so naturally he has to arrest someone for interrogation first.
But who knew that in the face of **'s inquiry, Zhang Gaoping tried his best to deny it, saying that he was wronged, and Nie Haifen naturally didn't believe it, but he was stubborn when they were dying.
As for why Nie Haifen is so convinced, it has to start with Zhang Gaoping's profession, it turns out that he is an experienced truck driver, and it can be said that he has sufficient time and conditions to commit crimes.
On the day of the crime, the surveillance clearly captured the victim Wang Dong getting into their truck, and then he was killed.
According to Zhang Gaoping, they were entrusted by someone to let Wang Dong take a ride, and after arriving at the place, they let people leave, and they never met again.
But this statement did not convince Nie Haifen, because Wang Dong had already been killed not long after he arrived at the place.
And according to the clues, Wang Dong's last ** contact was Zhang Gaoping, and the surveillance did not capture her continuous action route since then, so Zhang Gaoping is the most suspicious.
Judging from the results inferred so far, it is likely that Zhang Gaoping's uncle and nephew got up to speed and violated Wang Dong on the way, and then abandoned the person in the stinky ditch nearby.
And what supports this is the traces left on Wang Dong's body, although the DNA of Zhang Gaoping's uncle and nephew was not found, but it is also very likely that they cleaned up afterwards, and the body stayed in the stinky ditch for a while, maybe some clues will be affected.
In the end, in order to make the evidence more sufficient, Nie Haifen proposed to re-enact the incident, so that it could be confirmed whether Zhang Gaoping was suspected of committing the crime.
In this way, the local ** specially found a truck, re-simulated his driving path on the night of the crime, and found that it was exactly the same as the time and place where the victim was killed, and according to the time calculation, Zhang Gaoping had enough time to escape at the time of the crime.
At this time, in order to convince Zhang Gaoping, Nie Haifen repeated the experiment many times, basically considering many possibilities, but the final results were basically no different.
For this reason, she firmly believed that this was the truth of the matter, so she re-interrogated Zhang Gaoping with these evidences, but what she got was still the other party's denial.
And in the next few interrogations, Zhang Gaoping had the upper hand, and it turned out that he found a loophole in the last experiment.
There is an essential difference between the speed of the truck when it is fully loaded and when it is empty, the truck driven by Zhang Gaoping at the time of the crime is fully loaded, while Nie Haifen chose an empty car when doing the experiment.
This means that the time of the experiment may be completely opposite to the actual time of the crime.
It can also be seen from this that Nie Haifen did not obtain substantive evidence in this case, but only creatively proposed a method of presupposing the case.
It's a pity that in the face of Zhang Gaoping's question, Nie Haifen has always been stubborn, in her opinion, as long as the result is determined, even if there is an accident in the intermediate process, it is controllable.
So in order to make Zhang Gaoping's uncle and nephew confess as soon as possible, the staff at that time directly used extraordinary means, and in the next few days, Zhang Gaoping's uncle and nephew can be said to have experienced an unforgettable nightmare in his life.
The prolonged oppressive questioning and physical injuries made their hearts more and more fragile, and it was only a matter of time before they confessed their sins.
At this time, the case-handling personnel intensified the torture, and it can be said that no matter what time it is, this kind of behavior is illegal and seriously violates the fairness of the law.
It's just that he didn't raise any objections at that time, and under multiple tortures, Zhang Gaoping's uncle and nephew were forced to write a "confession".
In the end, the two were convicted, but after being tried, Zhang Gaoping raised ** again, for which the court conducted a second trial, but because they had already pleaded guilty, even if some of the facts were still unclear, in the end it was only changed from the death penalty to a suspended death sentence.
Zhang Gaoping's uncle and nephew naturally did not agree, and since then he has appealed many times, saying that he was absolutely wronged, but unfortunately he has been in a state of insufficient evidence.
This impasse continued until there was another major case.
Reproduction of the ** case.
Time came to January 2005, at this time, Zhang Gaoping's uncle and nephew had already been arrested as the first in the corpse dumping case, but they never thought that a similar case would occur in the suburbs of Hangzhou.
The same victim was a woman, and her whole body was stripped off, and only the neck could clearly be seen that she had been attacked from behind.
This tragic situation is exactly the same as two years ago, and it can be said that it can basically be concluded that it was the same **, but the key is that the ** of that year has already been locked up! Is it a copycat?
didn't have time to think about it, the local ** immediately formed a task force to investigate the matter, and unexpectedly this ** was not difficult to find.
On the street full of surveillance, they easily found the victim's route at that time, and the screen clearly showed that she got into a taxi at the time, and then was never heard from again.
Then the taxi driver Gou Haifeng was obviously suspicious, so ** immediately arrested the person for interrogation, because the existing clues were already very clear, so Gou Haifeng did not have any position to deny the account, so the case was quickly convicted.
At this time, it was only two or three days before the case occurred, and Nie Haifen, who was the person in charge of the case, became famous again, and there was no one who heard about this incident who did not praise her for her good skills.
Only Zhang Gaoping's uncle and nephew, who were still in prison, cried bitterly, shouting that they were carrying the black pot for others, and the case two years ago must have been done by Gou Haifeng, but there was no evidence.
But now that he has an opportunity to disagree, Zhang Gaoping didn't want to miss it again, so he sued the court one after another, complaining about his injustice.
At first, it did not attract the attention of others until 2008, when Zhang Biao, a prosecutor from the Xinjiang procuratorate, unexpectedly received a letter from Zhang Gaoping.
In fact, cases like this kind of appeal are common in the procuratorate, so Zhang Biao didn't put it on the letter at the beginning, but who knew that Zhang Gaoping had submitted more than a dozen applications in a row.
Only then did he keep the matter in mind, and decided to transfer the case file and go over it again, if the case is true, it will naturally be peaceful, and if it is really an unjust, false and wrongful case, it should be corrected in time.
So he took a deep look at the case, and really found something tricky in it, after all, when the case was convicted, there was indeed a lack of key evidence.
In the end, the reason why the case was closed was Nie Haifen's creative plan and the confessions of Zhang Gaoping's uncle and nephew.
Now Zhang Gaoping shouted that he was wronged, so it proves that there were objections to the original confession, and based on this, Zhang Biao launched an investigation.
In the end, it can be said that the more he investigates, the more wrong it becomes, because the reason why Zhang Gaoping continues to appeal and say that he is wronged naturally has his reasons.
One is that there was a lack of key evidence at the time of the conviction, and Wang Dong's blood and DNA were not found on Zhang Gaoping's uncle and nephew or in the truck at that time.
In other words, Zhang Gaoping's uncle and nephew can only be regarded as suspects, and China's law emphasizes that there is no doubt about the crime, which means that the evidence is the most important in the whole case.
It's a pity that Nie Haifen didn't know what psychology at that time, and insisted on convicting Zhang Gaoping's uncle and nephew, and even used torture in the end.
In order to make them take the initiative to confess their guilt and write a confession, but what they haven't done can be made up, so they specially bought off the prison bully Yuan Lianfang.
Under his "careful guidance", the confessions of Zhang Gaoping's uncle and nephew finally remained basically the same, and this was the second objection raised by Zhang Gaoping afterwards.
Because at the beginning of 2008, Zhang Gaoping accidentally saw Yuan Lianfang's name on TV, and the reason why he was arrested was the ** confession.
At this time, Zhang Gaoping realized that he had indeed been deceived at the beginning, so they appealed again and again.
Seeing this Zhang Biao, he basically had already made a judgment, Zhang Gaoping's uncle and nephew were likely to be wronged, and finally in order to ensure the fairness and justice of the case, he specially invited lawyer Zhu Mingyong, and the two worked together to investigate.
In the end, the truth was revealed.
In fact, this case is very clear now, that is, Nie Haifen insisted on going his own way and insisted on convicting people when the evidence was insufficient.
And the evidence that can support this is that in the investigation that year, ** found DNA on Wang Dong's body that did not belong to Zhang Gaoping's uncle and nephew.
It stands to reason that this is the most critical evidence, but unfortunately it has not been taken seriously, but there is no problem Zhang Gaoping's uncle and nephew were interrogated again and again.
Therefore, after a general understanding of the facts of the case, Zhang Biao began to apply upwards continuously, and finally the Zhejiang Supreme People's Court agreed to reiterate.
The final outcome was naturally as expected, Zhang Gaoping's uncle and nephew were acquitted due to insufficient evidence.
After many years, the two finally regained their innocence, and no one knows the sadness of this, and what is even more helpless is that the scars left by fate on them can no longer be repaired.
During this period, Zhang Gaoping's family was bullied, his mother died with a grudge, and Zhang Gaoping's daughter was bullied by everyone since she was a child.
It can be said that the fate of their family has changed dramatically because of Nie Haifen's words.
In the end, in order to compensate, the state took out 2.21 million in compensation, although this money is not small, but it will not buy the injuries they have suffered over the years.
What's more critical is that these psychological wounds may not be able to heal themselves for a lifetime, and the only thing that is gratifying is that in 2013, the Zhejiang Provincial Political and Legal Committee specially transferred people to retry the cases of throwing corpses that occurred in previous years.
I believe that Nie Haifen and others will be punished by the law and accept the responsibility they should bear, and at the same time, this incident also reminds us of the significance of supervising responsibility while ensuring the fairness of the law.
