Chapter 385: A House of Reward for Bravery

When Zhou Can was investigating Chen Mouyang's case in Nanyun Province, he found out after an in-depth investigation that the person who used Chen Mouyang's bank card to withdraw more than 2 million yuan at the Linchang border was not Chen Mouyang himself, but two thugs arranged by Jin Yangwei.

After an arduous pursuit in the Linchang border area, Zhou Can and others finally captured the two thugs. Then, after interrogation and investigation, Zhou Can successfully solved the murder case, uncovered the truth that Jin Yangwei hired a killer to kill Chen Mouyang, and recovered more than one million yuan in stolen money.

Not only that, this case also uncovered another shocking crime - Jin Yangwei, Chen Mouyang and others gang-raped Jin Moubo and caused his death and then dumped his body.

At the same time, Zhou Can also led the cracking of a major child trafficking case, rescuing more than 70 abducted children and arresting more than 40 child trafficking criminals. These criminal acts seriously violated the life safety and rights of others.

Due to Zhou Can's outstanding performance in solving these major cases, the Nanhang Municipal Public Security Bureau decided to award him the second-class merit as an individual, and the third-class merit to his collective. Zhou Can himself was also promoted to a deputy captain of the Third Brigade of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Nanhang Municipal Public Security Bureau, stepping into the ranks of leading cadres.

As a key figure in helping to solve the case, Liu Yuan was awarded the title of Nanhang City's Brave Citizen for his courageous behavior and was given a 60-square-meter resettlement housing quota worth 30 yuan.

This was a pleasant surprise for Liu Yuan. He didn't even need to buy a house to settle down in Nanhang.

These honors and awards fully affirm Zhou Can and Liu Yuan's outstanding contributions to maintaining social security and combating crime, and their efforts and dedication have been duly rewarded.

The first intentional homicide case that Liu Yuan independently handled finally came to trial.

In court, he studied the autopsy report and six sets of autopsy photos so thoroughly, and finally came to the conclusion: both victims died from excessive blood loss!

In this way, it can be determined that the suspect Huang's behavior constitutes intentional injury resulting in death, rather than intentional homicide as stated in the first-instance judgment.

Although there were several knife wounds, they were all caused by random stabbing in a moment of panic. It can be seen at first glance that the defendant Huang made random gestures inflicting them. This also shows that the knife wounds did not directly take the victims' lives, but after Huang ran away, the lives of the two victims were slowly consumed.

Combined with Huang's eleven confession records, Liu Yuan elaborated in detail that Huang had no intention of killing anyone, but accidentally injured two people during the dispute.

Huang also noticed that he had multiple injuries from blunt force trauma, so he rushed to a nearby health center for treatment. During the treatment, Huang knew that his behavior had constituted a crime, so he took the initiative to call the police and surrender himself, and stayed where he was, waiting for the arrival of the police.

Based on the evidence, Liu Yuan explained in court that Huang's original intention was not to kill, but he lost his mind during the conflict, which led to irreversible consequences.

Moreover, when the victim asked Huang for an explanation regarding his request for a betrothal gift, not only did he not respond actively, but he also unreasonably refused and threatened Huang with words many times, even threatening to kill him if he caused trouble again. Therefore, the victim himself was also at fault for the occurrence of this case.

The defendant has the statutory circumstances of surrendering himself, and his subjective malice is relatively mild. He has no criminal record and is completely a type of criminal who can be reformed and educated.

Liu Yuan used these defense arguments to argue that this case was intentional injury resulting in death, and to fight for a chance for Huang to save his life. He tried to persuade the second-instance court to make a fair judgment on Huang, change the charge according to law, and apply a two-year reprieve from the death penalty.

Liu Yuan argued his case and the Provincial High Court finally accepted his defense. Huang was found guilty of intentional injury (resulting in death) in the second instance and was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve in accordance with the law.
