Legal aid is sent to the law firm, and the defendant Cuong does not need to consent, and the lawyer appointed by the lawyer directly becomes Cuong's client, and the signed agent contract is no longer Ah Qiang and Cao Yun, but Cao Yun and legal aid. Gao Shan Xing took over the case, Cao Yun was signing his name, and the procedure was completed.

With this program, Cao Yun easily got the opportunity to meet with Cuong alone.

After only a few words of chatting at this meeting, Cao Yun knew that Ah Qiang was definitely not a good citizen, but he was a slippery head and a speculator, Cao Yun did not think that Ah Qiang had the ability and courage to kill people. So the topic can't start with the case, it has to start with South Africa.

Cao Yun said: "Ah Qiang, what I just said is very clear, I will not tell the police what you said, this is also not in line with the regulations of the lawyer industry." You have to be honest with me. ”

Ah Qiang said: "Lawyer Cao, I swear to God that I did not kill anyone. ”

Cao Yun said: "Don't worry, I'll ask you a few questions first." ”

"Yes. ”

Cao Yun said: "Have you ever done anything illegal in South Africa? Whether you have been caught or not?"

Ah Qiang immediately hesitated, and only replied after a while: "If you are sick and can't pay the medical bills, does it count if you run back to China?"

Cao Yun said: "I have a principle in life, if others are in danger of falling from the building, I will add a safety rope to him." If someone else wants to jump off a building, I will never persuade him not to die. If you're going to die yourself, I'll have an easy job. "As a good lawyer, you have to speak in vain.

Ah Qiang pursed his lips and lowered his head, and it took about half a minute before he looked up at Cao Yun: "I am working as a 'soloist' in South Africa, and most of the people who pick up are Dongtang and Gao Yanren, similar to customer representatives. For example, if someone wins a bet, I will persuade him to take advantage of the victory and chase after him. Someone loses a bet, I invite him to dinner, encourage him, and lend him money. If the loan shark can't be repaid, he will naturally lose his personal eye, so I persuaded him to repay the debt as a peacemaker, and told him that because we are fellow countrymen, I will find a way to persuade the boss to give him a discount on the interest. Given that solo singing in South Africa is legal, not only did I not get caught by the police, but many gamblers thanked me. ”

Cao Yun nodded and asked, "Then why are you so poor?"

Ah Qiang smiled bitterly: "Because of gambling, my income is good, but every penny is returned to the soloist." Like many people, after making money, I feel that I can make some more, and I will stop when I make some more. When I lose money, I think I must get my capital back and never gamble again. The purpose of running back to China was not to hide from the hospital, but mainly to owe more than 4 million to the boss over there. I caught a cold, and then I caught a cold and got pneumonia, so I escaped back to China while I was hospitalized. ”

Cao Yun asked: "On the day of the crime, did you see the intention of making money?"

Cuong did not answer directly: "What kind of working class is PA? How much is it a month? The watch on the sink is at least 400,000 yuan...... Ironically, I thought, this watch is enough for me to fight again, maybe I'll roll over. At that time, I wanted to mix up the capital and go to South Africa to fight again...... But I really didn't kill anyone. ”

Cao Yundao: "Your confessions are different several times, and you change your confession when the police present evidence...... Now you have to tell me honestly what happened, including why you moved from the second floor to the third floor. ”

Cuong began to explain that his temporary change of position was not for tipping, in the modern era of no money, it is very difficult to collect tips temporarily, and the guest room tips are prepared by the guests in advance, and many people do not think of preparing tips for the service staff in the bathroom. The purpose of his change of guard was to see if the banquet hall had a chance to get some money. The reason is that his aunt and children do not welcome him to live at home. The people who attended the banquet were all wealthy people in the entertainment industry, wearing gold and silver, and maybe they could find a mobile phone meeting.

There weren't many opportunities that day, and he wasn't in the mood to keep the tip in the bathroom, so he looked at the inside of the banquet hall five meters away from the bathroom. It was about half past eight, two or three minutes later, when a customer came out of the bathroom and told him that there was no hand sanitizer. He went back to the bathroom, grabbed the empty bottle of hand sanitizer and went to the warehouse. Because he was working on the second floor, he was not familiar with the third floor, so he finally found hand sanitizer.

Back in the bathroom, he saw the watch and handbag on the sink, and the door to pit No. 1 was closed. Cuong believes that some customers were in a hurry to go to the toilet and did not put away their things after washing their hands. This is normal, and many people wash their hands before and after urinating. Because of the original plan, Ah Qiang pinched the zipper with his clothes, opened the bag without hesitation, and took away the cash and watch.

But the hotel is a rule, and fingerprints are used to enter and exit the door when commuting to and from work. His off-duty time is nine o'clock, and he will be intercepted by security guards if he leaves work before nine o'clock by swiping his fingerprints. He had already thought about it, he would smoke a cigarette in the lounge and then go back, and the customer who lost his things would definitely argue with the foreman first, deny it himself, and say that he would go to the staff rest locker room. Finally, the customer will call the police, and he can find an opportunity to leave work.

Cuong knows very well that as long as the police can't catch the cash and watches, even if they doubt themselves one million percent, they can't do anything about themselves. Although it was a bit risky, because of the value of the watch, he took the risk.

He really didn't expect a murder to happen.

When Ah Qiang spoke, Cao Yun listened very carefully, and also recorded with a voice recorder. After Ah Qiang finished talking about the case, Cao Yun pondered for a long time and said, "I will come to visit you again if necessary, remember one thing, whether it is the police arraignment again or the court in the future, don't lie again." That's it, goodbye. ”

......

Cao Yun, Yun Yin and Lu Yihang got into the car, and Cao Yun asked, "What do you think?"

Lu Yihang said: "Our client lacks witnesses, strictly speaking, he was in the bathroom before and after the crime, and this case is very unfavorable to the client from the current evidence." ”

Cao Yun nodded and asked, "Yun Yin?"

Yun Yin said as he drove: "The steak knife has serrated teeth, plus it is sharp and sharp, and it has a relatively long handle to exert force, it is a good knife to kill." But it feels awkward in terms of movement. The deceased Shen Shi urinated in the pit, and Ah Qiang held a knife in one hand and covered the deceased's mouth from behind with the other, and stabbed the knife from the deceased's chest to the heart...... If the killer is professional enough to attack in the back and cover his mouth, I know a better option to stab in the back and in the heart. Assuming that the murderer is unprofessional, there is too much chance of taking his life with a knife, and the murderer did not draw the knife, which is not in line with the style of an unprofessional person. "These two pieces of information are contradictory, professionals will not assassinate with awkward movements, and unprofessional people will not be stable and ruthless.

Cao Yun said: "Do you think Ah Qiang lied?"

Yun Yin replied, "I don't know, but I don't think Cuong killed anyone." He's sure of that.

Lu Yihang said: "The best way to figure this out is to find out what Cuong has done in South Africa for ten years, and whether it is as he said." ”

Cao Yun said: "Assuming that Ah Qiang is innocent, it means that it is murder." Nine times out of ten, it is a vendetta. Yihang, you contact Hanzi and try your best to learn about Shen Shi's situation from Shen Bing's company. Yunyin, give you a chance to socialize openly, you learn about Shen Shi's situation from the rich second-generation circle. ”

Yun Yin said: "Hey, there are a lot of rich second generations, and my circle and Shen Shi's circle have no intersection." ”

Cao Yun said: "If you do a few more people, you will intersect, no problem, right?"

Yun Yin thought for a while: "Okay, Luo Xing has a party tomorrow, I'll see if I can get some news among the guests." "Normally, the rich second generation is more extreme divided into two types, one is the dedicated type, his parents need him to inherit the family business, he is very strict with him, and he has outstanding ability. This type of rich second generation usually does not have time for enjoyment. One is the hedonistic type, where parents feel that their money is enough for their children to squander their lives and have no requirements for their children. Judging from Shen Shi's situation, his parents hope that he can become a first-line star, but the expectation is not high, and Shen Shi often has scandals, so he should belong to the second hedonistic type. The hedonistic enemy is usually the hedonistic rich second generation. ”

Cao Yun said: "Stop at the intersection in front, I want to invite someone to dinner." ”

......

Dating is an appointment every day, mainly because Cao Yun is not busy with work, Cao Yun did not take the initiative to make an appointment, Lin Luo only chatted with Cao Yun on social software. Social software can easily read whether Cao Yun is busy or not, if Cao Yun keeps a second reply message, it means that he is very idle, and if he only replies to a message in a few hours, it means that Cao Yun is busy.

Today, Cao Yun made an appointment with Sima Luo, either to eat or to have a drink, and the location was in a café near Sima Luo's work building.

Sima Luo is well-dressed, white and clean, and his hair is meticulously arranged, and it can be seen from his appearance that Sima Luo is a person who is very strict with himself.

"What to drink?"

"Whatever. Sima Luo sat down and rubbed his temples, as one of the chief prosecutors in a city with a population of several million, Sima Luo was very busy, often going out to court three or four times a day. The third or fourth court is not the same case, and it is easy for him to confuse the facts of the case, and it takes a lot of energy to be a good prosecutor.

Cao Yun casually ordered a bottle of water for Sima Luo, waited for the waiter to leave, and said, "What's the situation? ”

Sima Luo didn't sell it, and said straight to the point: "The police have applied for the transfer of the case three times, and we have held at least ten meetings, but no consensus has been reached internally. Some prosecutors believe that the evidence in this case is conclusive and can file charges. Another group of prosecutors believes that there are many doubts in this case. It was sent back three times for supplementary investigation. If there is no problem, the charges will be filed against Cuong in the next two days, and I said at the meeting that ordinary lawyers can't fight this lawsuit, so can I let legal aid appoint a lawyer. ”

Sima Luo was also pitted, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there must be people who are not pleasing to the eye in the threesome. After the meeting, the Deputy Procurator General contacted Legal Aid and said that Sima Luo wanted Legal Aid to assign the case to a designated lawyer. Sima Luo couldn't do anything when he found out, because he did say it, and he also said it to Gao Shan Law Firm. At present, the Dongtang Internal Affairs Bureau is investigating the deputy prosecutor general and him.

Cao Yun smiled bitterly after hearing this: "I shouldn't have contacted you." "Because he met Sima Luo, Sima Luo must tell the truth, and he will inevitably be invited to tea by the Internal Affairs Bureau.

"A gentleman is frank. Sima Luo said: "It is indeed inappropriate for us to meet each other, but since it is related to determining whether a person is guilty or not, I am willing to accept the investigation." ”

Cao Yun asked: "At present, I have not received the information of the police supplementary investigation, what is it that makes you have a difference of opinion?"

"Our perception is very subjective, and the problem is with the steak knife. With the help of the South African police, we have a basic understanding of Cuong's 10-year career and experience in South Africa. Strictly speaking, Cuong is not a good person, and at the same time he is not a very vicious person. We admit that Cuong will be interested in money, and we admit that Cuong will kill people because of money, and the problem is the steak knife. ”

Cao Yun somewhat understood: "The controversy between premeditated robbery and murder and the crime of 'sending affection'. "Carrying a steak knife can be called premeditation, and impromptu intent is a crime of parasitic affection.

"Yes, there is no definite time for one person to go to the bathroom, and there are so many people in the banquet hall, it is not ruled out that many people can go to the bathroom. He had a steak knife ready, which meant a premeditated robbery and murder. He didn't have a face mask ready, only rubber cleaning gloves on his left hand, overalls, and still his job. It is difficult for us to accept that Keung would rob and kill people in such an environment, it is too blatant. And there is no concern that someone else may enter the bathroom during the crime. Sima Luo said: "We belong to the subjective faction, and we don't think that Ah Qiang has the possibility of committing a crime." On the other hand, there are objectivists, who value evidence and do not consider people's mentality, and the evidence proves that Cuong is the murderer nine times out of ten. Taken together, none of us can convince anyone. ”

Cao Yun said: "I have the biggest question, there are 100 guests at the banquet, and the deceased goes to the bathroom randomly. It took at least a certain amount of time for the killer to attack the deceased, so he didn't care that someone would enter the bathroom and see the scene of the attack? ”

Sima Luo: "That's why we asked the police to supplement the investigation. The biggest trouble is that the hotel's banquet hall is not monitored. The police questioned nearly fifty people and found no useful leads. "The reason why I chose the banquet hall of Regal Hotel is because there is no surveillance. The importance of privacy rises with the rise of status.

Cao Yun asked, "Why me?"

Sima Luo said: "Although you successfully helped Sonny get rid of the crime last time, you still pursued it, which surprised us a little and touched a little. ”

Cao Yun smiled: "Prosecutor Sima, this is the standard heart of a gentleman to live the belly of a villain." The reason why I continue to track it down is that I don't want to be taken advantage of, and I don't want to be taken for a fool. It's just a battle of will, and it has nothing to do with moral character. ”

Sima Luo asked, "What about Ah Qiang's case?"

Cao Yun said: "I will work hard." ”

Sima Luo said: "The reason why I am a prosecutor is for fairness and justice, no matter what interests and personal reasons you have, as long as you perform your duties as a lawyer according to the regulations, I should consider you a good person." ”

"Haha, you really don't praise people, don't be so blunt compliments, I just say that I will work hard. The difficulty of defending this case is still very high. ”

Cuong's killing with a steak knife is indeed awkward, but awkwardness cannot overturn the evidence. As long as Ah Qiang can do it, no matter how suspicious Cao Yun proves this action, it is useless. The deadliest thing is the blood stains on the watch. Cao Yun tried to mention the details to Sima Luo, but Sima Luo immediately avoided it, and left the table without opening the water on the pretext that he still had a lot of things to do.
