Chapter 212: True and False
Gao Shan Xing said: "The time of Wang Xia's death is between 10:50 and 11:00, if it is confirmed that Xu's father was observing the charter wife playing mahjong at 11:05, it means that Xu's father is unlikely to kill." ”
Cao Yun nodded.
"Then ......" Gao Shan Xing didn't understand: "Doesn't this objectively show that Father Xu didn't kill anyone?"
Cao Yun said: "On the contrary, I don't believe him because of this. He is a second-entry palace personnel, and he is an experienced person. But why didn't he find this evidence to save him? A man sentenced to death must have been wondering what could prove his innocence, and I can't imagine him not thinking of this detail. ”
Gao Shan Xing understood a little: "You mean that Father Xu kept this detail in order to appeal?"
Cao Yun said: "No, the appeal is not as good as the first trial. I think this evidence is fake. ”
Gao Shan Xing didn't understand again.
Cao Yundao: "Assuming that Xu's father told the truth, it is impossible not to think of this after being arrested, because the police and the prosecution are not in the interrogation or trial, the focus is where Xu's father went in half an hour." Suppose Xu's father said that he went to step on the spot at that time, and saw the chartered wife go home at 11:05. Then this matter can be verified. After all, it was just winter, it was raining, and the second day of the first cooling temperature was the second day, and normal people would always have a little impression. ”
Cao Yun: "It's been almost a year since the incident, and I promise that the charter wife doesn't remember what time she came home that day." ”
Gao Shan Xing said: "In this way, I can't verify it, and I can't help him." ”
Cao Yundao: "Assuming that he is a murderer, he has two ideas, one idea, this will become an important reason for his appeal, the judiciary attaches great importance to capital punishment, this evidence is enough to overturn the fact that Xu's father killed someone, the judiciary will definitely investigate carefully, and I don't know how long it will take to go back and forth." In such doubts, and he himself has never pleaded guilty, he may not dare to sign for execution. It's quite possible that it just dragged on. There is also the idea that the longer a case drags on, the easier it is to become the public focus and the easier it is to attract the attention of barristers. If a lawyer like me gets this information, I will implant the idea in the head of the charter wife by means of suggestion. ”
Cao Yun: "Father Xu has observed women for two weeks, and I believe that he can hint at me first." He knew what the charter wife was wearing on the first day of the winter, that is, the day before the crime, and the charter wife went home at 11:05 that day. On the basis of trusting him, I asked to confuse the concept, and the woman had the vague impression that what I said was true. I must have had a way to persuade the woman to testify in court, and he would probably have overturned the case. ”
Gao Shan Xing said: "I have a question, how much money did Wang Xia lose?"
Cao Yun said: "More than 30,000 in cash." ”
"So much?"
Cao Yun said: "This is also the reason why I suspect that Father Xu is premeditated. According to the employee, Wang Xia went to the bank at 5 p.m. that day to withdraw 30,000 yuan, which was paid for the rent of the first quarter tomorrow. The landlord of Wang's fish soup is an old man in his 60s, his children and grandchildren have immigrated to New Zealand, and he himself only has a passbook, not even a card. He has four storefronts, and each time he collects rent once a quarter, and then immediately goes to the bank to deposit the money in the passbook. Father Xu would deliver fish to Wang's fish soup at about half past ten every day or every other day, and would help kill the fish. It is possible that he will learn this information. ”
Gao Shanxing shook his head: "I don't understand, is more than 30,000 worth killing?" Father Xu works normally, and he still earns 30,000 yuan in two months. ”
"The profit from selling fish is 30,000 yuan for two months, but you have to pay rent, I have learned that Xu's father's stall has to pay 7,000 yuan per month. The fish stall is more expensive than other stalls, and 7,000 is already considered a lot of care. Xu's father earns about 7,000 a month. The normal cost of life is two thousand, and I will find a woman once a week, and I need one or two thousand. In addition, Xu Na is only a sophomore, and her schoolwork is relatively heavy, so Xu's father will give Xu Na 1,000 yuan for living expenses every month. After Xu Na was 18 years old, the welfare home no longer subsidized her living expenses, and she entered the university through a pre-school loan.
Cao Yundao: "Judging from Xu's father's description, one of the reasons why he hates this job is that it is very hard, and another reason is that he can't save money. "Saving money is like fighting monsters and upgrading, and the bank balance is slowly increasing, which is the source of people's hard work.
Cao Yun: "In addition, I think Father Xu is trying to steal money, not kill people. I sorted out my thoughts, Xu's father knew that Wang Xia was going to pay rent a few days in advance, and then he thought of an alibi, that is, the chartered wife. On the day of the crime, he stole money, but was discovered by Wang Xia, and the two sides had a dispute, and for some reason, he killed Wang Xia in anger. Please note that the first time Xu's father went to prison was burglary and wounding. The second time he went to jail, burglary with a murder weapon. In other words, Father Xu is psychologically prepared to hurt people. ”
Cao Yun: "Father Xu thinks that after stealing the money, the police will soon come to the door, and he will hide the money." The police will not take people and stolen goods for a comprehensive search of 30,000 yuan, as long as he can withstand the interrogation, plus the charter wife testify, there is no problem. After the rumors have passed, it is easy to launder the money and add your daily income. ”
Cao Yun: "Father Xu probably panicked after the killing, and he definitely didn't dare to ask for the money, but he couldn't help but take it." There are many ways to dispose of banknotes, be lazy and throw the trash can, and now the garbage will not be collected at all to see what is inside, and a bucket will be poured directly into the car. The most detailed detail is the murder weapon, which was left at the scene. Killing people and stealing money are completely different concepts, which caused him to have no time to squat on the charter wife after the killing, so that the alibi evidence he prepared could not be brought to the table. ”
Gao Shan Xing asked: "You said earlier that Father Xu is ready to hurt people, he kills people and is fierce, and he handles money, how could he leave the murder weapon at the scene?"
Cao Yun said: "This knife can't run away, Xu's father went to Wang's fish soup before the crime, Wang Xia died of a fish-killing knife, and the police will definitely confiscate Xu's father's fish-killing knife." This knife is very special, most fishmongers use knives bought in hardware stores, and Xu's father's knife is a German knife that Xu Na encouraged his father to take the right path and bought, which costs hundreds of yuan. With the current criminal investigation technology, it can be judged that Xu's father's knife is a murderous knife. If Xu's father doesn't lose the knife, the knife is death proof, an indefensible death certificate. So the detail that Xu's father lost the knife made me more suspicious. ”
Gao Shan Xing: "You think he is a murderer?"
Cao Yun shook his head: "No, the details I just said can have another explanation. Maybe what Xu's father said was the truth. ”
Gao Shan Xing said for a long time: "Regardless of whether Father Xu is a murderer or not, with your current mentality, you are really not suitable to be his lawyer." ”
"You're right. Cao Yun said: "It's because I'm not professional enough, and a real lawyer doesn't need to know whether Xu's father is the real murderer, and he won't be affected." Even if he knew that Xu's father was the real murderer, he would try his best to help him get rid of his crimes. But I can't. ”
Gao Shan Xing patted Cao Yun's shoulder to show understanding. Cao Yun grew up with a very strong police culture, and he himself was a student of the Police University.
"I'm sorry, but I didn't think it through enough and shouldn't have dragged you into this kind of case. Gao Shan Xing said: "I'll deal with this matter, and I will make it clear to Xu Na." I helped him pay some money to transfer the case to another law firm. ”
Cao Yun said: "I'll talk to her." ”
……
Since it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, there was only one table on the second floor of the medical school's for-profit dining room. Yun Yin accompanied Cao Yun to meet Xu Na in the restaurant.
"Xu Na, I said straight to the point. Synthesize the ...... I have" Cao Yun paused slightly when he saw Xu Na's expectant face, but continued to explain: "The clues I have include information on the first-instance and second-instance lawyers, the police, and the prosecution. I have not found a defense point, and I do not have the ability to overturn the case for your father. ”
When Xu Na heard this, she was anxious: "Lawyer Cao, you saw my dad yesterday." Can we find the woman to testify? My dad can say so clearly, there must have been no murder. ”
Even Xu Na could think of it, why didn't Xu's father think of it after he was arrested?
Cao Yundao: "As a lawyer, I don't judge whether my client has killed someone, I just didn't find a defense. In addition......"
Yun Yin took out a check: "This is a cash check for 50,000 yuan given by Miss Gao with no repayment deadline, yesterday we studied the case for one night, and this lawsuit really can't be fought." "Gao Yan basically doesn't use checks personally, but many enterprises, especially physical enterprises, still use them. Gao Shan Xing considered that the process of asking Xu Na for a bank card account was embarrassing, so she chose to write a check.
Xu Na didn't take the check, looked at Cao Yun, and asked, "If you don't answer Lawyer Cao, my father is likely to die unjustly." ”
Cao Yun said: "This matter is my fault, I didn't fully understand your father's case, so I went to see your father." Although I didn't agree to take the case, I still feel sorry for it, after all, it gives you hope. You take the money first, and then you can pay it back when you have the ability to pay it back in the future. ”
Xu Na was a little excited: "My dad was wronged. ”
Cao Yun replied: "I'm sorry, I won't take this case." ”
Xu Na looked at Cao Yun, Cao Yun's expression did not melt, and Xu Na said angrily: "I know that lawyers like you are only willing to be lackeys of the rich, so I have found the wrong person." ”
Xu Na left, Yun Yin looked at Cao Yun with an indifferent expression, and took a sip of a drink: "The atmosphere was very awkward for a while. ”
"Very good. ”
"Okay?"
Cao Yun said: "What do you think?"
Yun Yin nodded slowly: "She is not so pure in appearance, is this woman born to act, or is a woman born to act?"
Cao Yun didn't answer, raised his glass and touched the cup with Yun Yin.
Cao Yun believed that Xu Na's purpose was to save his father, but Cao Yun didn't trust Xu Na very much from the beginning.
The first point: Xu Na waited for herself in Nanhu for two or three days, which was touching, Xu Na had the cuteness and perseverance to wait for the rabbit, which made people feel distressed. In fact, Xu Na and several aquarists added friends, Xu Na had a class that day, and some aquarists contacted Xu Na after seeing Cao Yun, and Xu Na rushed over.
If this is the only thing, Cao Yun can understand. The second point is that after Xu Na took the medicine, Cao Yun had changed his opinion of Xu Na in his heart. At that time, Cao Yun didn't fully understand the situation, so he asked Xu Na not to speak, since he had done this, Cao Yun was a good person to the end and fished Xu Na out.
The medication seems to be nothing, but it is very scary to think about it. Xu Na's reasons are very insightful. A company president, with a wife and children, buying a college student for the first time is a deformed mentality, and most people will not call the police, preferring to suffer a dumb loss. Xu Na not only analyzed Li very well, but in the chat records provided by the police, Cao Yun could read that Xu Na cared more about the other party's background than the other party's conditions.
Xu Na is scheming, it's right to be scheming, and it's not wrong to be innocent and scheming in appearance. Cao Yun didn't care if Xu Na was scheming, whether she deceived herself with her appearance, whether the answer was yes or no, it had nothing to do with Cao Yun.
The most important reason for not accepting the case is the reasons and reasons explained by Cao Yun and Gao Shanxing after meeting Xu's father. Cao Yun knew that Xu Na didn't believe that her father killed people, and Xu Na probably had an important reason for looking for herself, she only accepted the risk commission. If the case is overturned, Xu Na can give 100,000, and if the case is not overturned, Xu Na will not have a loss.
But Xu Na also knew that 100,000 yuan was the starting price, so she played some tricks. After all, she is still tender, Xu Na saw Cao Yun from Nanhu, and sold herself online, so she was in a hurry. For Xu's father's case, he still has at least half a year to go before it is executed.
It's a filial girl, but it's not an innocent girl who looks like she looks and shows. But it doesn't make a difference, because the reason why Cao Yun didn't take the case was because Xu's father, not Xu Na.
Yun Yin asked, "Cao Yun, are you really sure that Father Xu killed someone?"
Cao Yun shook his head: "I'm not sure." ”
Yun Yin asked again: "Have you been affected by the experience of Xu's father entering the palace?"
Cao Yun nodded.
Yun Yin said: "On the one hand, he may die unjustly, and on the other hand, he may let the real murderer go." You choose to rather Xu's father die unjustly than let go of the possible real murderer. ”
Cao Yun nodded again: "I never said that I was perfect, I know that I am not qualified to be a lawyer in this kind of case." As long as I don't take this case, whether Xu's father is unjustly killed or the murderer, it has nothing to do with me. ”
"Very egoistic. ”
"Yes, very egoistic. ”
Yun Yin asked: "Assuming that you take the lawsuit and do your best, do you think you have a chance to overturn the case?"
Cao Yun replied, "Yes." ”
Yun Yin smiled: "I'll just brag to you, I know you won't say it if I ask you." Since you didn't take the case, why did you let Hanzi get close to the chartered wife?"
Cao Yun said: "Hanzi is a single case transaction, I just terminated the investigation, and she was embarrassed to accept money." ”
……
Cao Yun didn't take the case, which made Xu Na's mood, who originally saw hope, fall to the bottom. One afternoon she spent an afternoon alone in her bedroom, flipping through a few photo albums she had taken with her father when she was five or seven years old. Canadian snow, Australian beaches, European ......
"Hey!" the phone rang four times in a row, and Xu Na finally picked up the phone.
"Hello Xu Na, I know that your father is not the murderer of Wang Xia. ”
Xu Na immediately stood up and asked nervously, "Who are you?"
"Don't worry, I can give your father a clean slate, but first you have to go to a prosecutor named Sima Luo. ”
"Looking for him?"
The other party said: "Prosecutor Sima is a very enthusiastic prosecutor, because your father has never pleaded guilty, and he has also paid attention to your father's case for a time." I need you to ask him out alone, and the reason is that it has something to do with Cao Yun. If he asks again, you will answer: Cao Yun took advantage of you and didn't take your father's case. Let him go to the underground parking lot of the Red Shrimp Building at half past ten tomorrow morning, and you will go to him. ”
Xu Na asked, "Why?"
The other party said: "Because if you want to return your father's innocence, you must let your father appear in court." Sima Luo happened to be the one who could get your father to appear in court. Xu Na, you can only trust us now. ”
Xu Na asked, "Who are you?"
"The Court of Flames. ”
