At the Xicheng Detention Center in Nanlin City, Xu Lin and the other four came to the detention center. When they told the guard inside that they wanted to see Wei Mingfei, they were obviously a little surprised.
"Comrade, Wei Mingfei is too stubborn. Moreover, he has a bad temper. I'm afraid that even if you meet him, he won't be willing to cooperate," the guard said.
Xu Lin: "It's okay, brother, as long as you let me see him, I believe he will cooperate with us."
"Okay, then I'll bring him over."
The guard nodded, said nothing more, and asked Xu Lin and the others to wait while he went to the detention room alone.
After about ten minutes, the guards brought in a man with almost snow-white hair who looked to be about the age of an old man in his 50s.
Xu Lin was a little shocked. Wei Mingfei's actual age was only 43 years old, but now he looked like he was in his fifties or almost sixty.
It seems that during these years in the detention center, he was suffering from inner suffering all the time.
Especially when Xu Lin saw the white name above his head, he suddenly felt a little sad.
An innocent man was detained for 10 years.
How many 10 years can a life last?
If not for his arrival, it is likely that his detention would have continued indefinitely.
Xu Lin's eyes met those empty, desperate eyes, and he suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his heart.
"Comrade, please, please open his cuffs!"
Xu Lin said, pointing to the wrists of Wei Mingfei's hands.
When the guard heard Xu Lin's words, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head directly: "Brother, don't make things difficult for me, this is against the rules."
Xu Lin sighed, there was nothing he could do.
After all, they were from two systems. Although he obliged them to assist in the investigation, they also had their own responsibilities.
Thinking of this, he picked up his cell phone and dialed Zhang Tao's number.
When the call was connected, Xu Lin immediately said: "Ju Zhang, let me tell you something. Wei Mingfei is not the murderer."
After just two words, Wei Mingfei, who was hanging his head, suddenly raised his head, opened his eyes wide, and looked at Xu Lin with gratitude in his eyes.
After 10 years, someone finally believed that he was not the murderer and that he was innocent.
For an arson case, he took the blame for ten years!
Thinking of this, Wei Mingfei suddenly covered his face and started crying. He didn't know whether he was happy or sad.
Xu Lin also noticed Wei Mingfei's expression and demeanor. He continued on the phone and said: "Bureau Zhang, I want to take this person out. No matter what method you use, let the detention center cooperate with us."
"clear!"
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Tao put down his phone, immediately picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number...
In the detention center, Xu Lin sat in front of Wei Mingfei, looked into each other's eyes, and said, "Wei Mingfei, I'm sorry, although I believe you are innocent. But your suspicion has not been cleared, and you are still a prisoner.
"I know, thank you, thank you..." Wei Mingfei choked with sobs. If he hadn't been chained to the chair, he wouldn't have been able to help but knock Xu Lin.
Xu Lin: "You don't have to thank me, thank yourself. Thank you for not letting yourself collapse. Thank you for not being a bad person."
"Woooo..."
Wei Mingfei suddenly burst into tears, his voice sad and painful, as if a knife was stirring inside his body.
Xu Lin didn't speak, and stopped Wu Xiaofeng and the others, just waiting quietly.
This man has suffered too much grievance and should vent.
He could also see that Wei Mingfei was on the verge of collapse. If he didn't vent, he would really go crazy.
After a while, he finally stopped crying and said with some sobs: "Officer, thank you. It would be great if you came earlier?"
Xu Lin: "Sorry, this is our fault."
He shook his head, feeling a little sad.
Then he threw everything behind and asked: "Wei Mingfei, do you still remember the situation at the scene?"
"Remember, I was the workshop director of the cotton spinning factory. How could I not remember? I led the people to build the warehouse at that time." Wei Mingfei calmed down and began to answer Xu Lin's questions seriously.
Xu Lin: "Tell me, what was the situation like at that time?"
Wei Mingfei: "Although I told the police officer in front of me countless times, officer, I believe you are a person who understands everything clearly, so I will repeat it to you again."
“When the warehouse caught fire, I rushed over with a fire extinguisher as soon as possible.
But when I rushed into the goods yard, I found that several people had gone in to save people a few steps ahead of me.
Because I entered through the side door, they didn't notice me.
The first thing I went to rescue was a child, but when I was rescuing people, I discovered that they were all tied up with a rope, and it was very strong.
Even though I tried my best, I couldn't save the child. "
At this point, he paused and said: "The fire was getting bigger and bigger. There were two people in my workshop. They begged me to save them."
"But... at that time, my first reaction was to save the child first. But the woman said something, saying that I would not die a good death."
"It was that sentence that made me sit in jail for a full 10 years. I was wronged, really wronged! I didn't tie the person, and I didn't light the fire. But... because of that sentence, the police simply Don’t believe me until you show up.”
Xu Lin nodded. He didn't get any useful information from Wei Mingfei.
But no matter what, he could prove that Wei Mingfei was indeed framed.
Xu Lin said: "Wei Mingfei, I want to restore the scene now, can you help me do it?"
"Yes! I definitely can!"
Wei Mingfei gritted his teeth, knowing that this might be his only chance. If you miss it, I'm afraid you won't be able to go out again in your life.
Xu Lin nodded and said: "Okay, I will go through the parole procedures for you right now. When the procedures are completed, you can go back to the crime scene with me."
Since there is no useful information so far, Xu Lin plans to reconstruct the scene, hoping to find some clues from the scene.
He believed that no one knew the scene better than Wei Mingfei. During the 10 years he was imprisoned here, he must have thought about the scene more than once. Maybe he could actually restore the scene.
He said: "Wei Mingfei, I hope you will never come back after you leave here. I believe the higher-ups will compensate you for your 10-year sentence."
"No! I don't want compensation, I want freedom." Wei Mingfei's eyes were red, his voice was choked, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.
