Chapter 396: Cooperation

Mature people are generally not persuaded by others, and the trial is a game of persuasion. It's just that the defense lawyer has to convince not the prosecutor, but the judge, the jury. When the prosecutor determines that the defendant is the murderer, and the lawyer argues that the defendant is not guilty, the prosecutor will think that the lawyer will do everything for money. Assuming that the defendant remains guilty despite the lawyer's defence, the prosecutor will consider that justice has been done.

Only with this thinking, Lu Yihang will not have troubles. On the one hand, Lu Yihang is worried that he will be too strong after becoming a prosecutor, resulting in the guilt of innocent defendants. On the other hand, they are also worried that their incompetence after becoming a prosecutor will lead to the acquittal of the guilty defendant.

In most cases, the accused has pleaded guilty, or there is ironclad evidence that proves the guilt of the accused. But in a few cases, such as the last two cases, where the charges of the accused cannot be determined, what should the prosecutor do?

Cao Yundao: "Not only Yihang, but Sima Luo has also had a similar contradictory mentality after living in our lawyer's firm for half a year. Maybe Sima Luo learned something, but he was greatly affected. This will cause him to dare not press hard in some cases, but he is not as clean as the Nine-Tails. ”

Wei Jun asked: "When Sima fell into the lawyer's office to study, Cao Yun, you dug a pit?"

"Hey, don't think I'm so bad, I'm not that bad. The underground case hit the two very hard. I once said that if they can get through this hurdle, the future is bright. Otherwise, I don't know. Cao Yun said: "The takeaway has arrived, eat." "After all, other people's troubles are someone else's, and Cao Yun can't help them. Because the three views are different, there is no way to help.

"Hai Dong. Cao Yun answered the ocean call and smiled bitterly: "I look at Hai Dong's number now, and my heart is trembling." ”

Haiyang laughed: "Brother, I won't look for you if there is no difficult case." ”

Cao Yun: "That's why I'm trembling, I'll go over?"

Ocean: "I'm waiting in the office. ”

......

In 2014, a sister in the United States spent 8,000 US dollars to hire a killer, intending to kill her husband in order to obtain her husband's insurance money. But when she encounters FI's wide-cast fishing methods, she hires an agent. After investigation, FI found that there was a mystery in the death of the sister's ex-husband, he died in 2011, and left a large amount of insurance money to the sister-in-law after his death. But because the body has been cremated, it cannot be traced. In the end, the girl was only charged with attempted murder.

Trish was once suspected of being a black widow who murdered her husband to steal the family property, but the truth is still inconclusive.

Now there is a black widow suspected by the insurance company, her name is Anna, she is forty-one years old and has no job. Anna got married at the age of 25, and when she was 30 years old, her husband was talking to the woman outside, and the two parties reached an impasse in divorce. A month later, her husband was killed on his way to work, and Anna had an alibi, and Anna obtained her husband's personal insurance money, plus the insurance purchased by the company for her husband, with a total value of 5 million yuan.

Anna remarried at the age of 32, her husband disappeared at the age of 36, and two months later a car was recovered from the lake, in which the husband was located. Before and after her husband's disappearance, Anna was traveling in High Rock, so Anna received her husband's insurance money, which was worth $4 million.

Anna remarried at the age of 38 and is 41 years old this year, her current husband accidentally fell off the platform and died while waiting for the subway. This time, the insurance company quit, and the insurance company called the police, and since Anna's husband was a working prison guard, involving public servants, the prosecutor took over the investigation first.

Haiyang invited Cao Yun to come, and wanted Cao Yun to become the lawyer entrusted by the insurance company in this case and cooperate with the prosecutor to investigate the case. After all, the prosecution focused on the cause of her husband's death, and the insurance company was more concerned about the evidence of Anna's insurance fraud.

Ocean: "We've got some news. After Anna made a note shortly after the incident, Anna visited Ouyang Yi. However, since the police have not taken any coercive measures against Anna at present, and have not treated her as a suspect, Ouyang Yi cannot accept Anna's commission for the time being. ”

Cao Yun: "Are you watching out for Ouyang Yi?" It must be interesting to play against Ouyang Yi.

Haiyang nodded: "It's not for nothing that Ouyang Yi has the title of the king of criminal cases. The prosecution has agreed to work with our appointed lawyer to investigate the case. According to our internal view, Anna should have hired a murderer, and the prosecutor and the prosecution could only investigate the murderer at most, and it was difficult to investigate the employer. Although there is not much hope, but I think you are amazing, brother, you can give it a try. ”

Cao Yun smiled: "Magical? Is this metaphysics?"

Ocean responded: "The board has no opinion. Three considerations, the first is the metaphysics that the elder brother said, the Yezi insurance fraud case, the Bairu vase case, these two cases are very difficult to handle, the elder brother has done it, maybe the elder brother is the lucky star of our insurance company. The second consideration is to repay the favor, brother, you have helped our insurance company a lot, you can help with this matter, even if we can't help, even if we give you extra remuneration. The third thought, brother, you are now one of the top lawyers in Dongtang, and one day we will have a headache if we encounter some cases and want to sue us. The third was very supportive of the second view, and in the end everyone supported the first view. ”

Haiyang said: "If it is done, it is metaphysics, and if it is not done, it will be regarded as remuneration, and please ask my brother to be merciful to our insurance company when he receives the commission in the future." ”

Cao Yun was ashamed and said, "Hai Dong, you have lifted me up." ”

Ocean smiled: "Is two million enough?"

Cao Yun hurriedly said: "One million is enough, in fact, I am embarrassed to collect so much money, but I have set a threshold for myself, no way, Hai Dong, please understand." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Haiyang said: "The president of the power of attorney has signed it, and the younger brother will sign it if there is no problem." The person in charge of supervising this case is Prosecutor Sachiko Kuao, you are old acquaintances, right?"

Cao Yun: "I'm not very familiar. ”

Haiyang smiled: "Everyone is kneeling outside the courthouse and hugging your thigh, not very familiar?"

Cao Yun smiled bitterly: "Gossip rumors, Hai Dong also believes it?"

Haiyang said: "Haha, the materials are here, fortunately brother." ”

......

Nine-tails is a prosecutor in the Special Investigation Department of the prosecutor's agency, with investigative powers. Anna's husband is a public official, is the police or the prosecutor responsible for his death?

Because it is an unnatural death of a public official, the prosecutor will definitely intervene in the investigation. The prosecutor is to ensure that the person's death has nothing to do with public office, and once this conclusion is reached, the information can be handed over to the police, who will investigate. If, in the course of an investigation, the prosecutor suspects that the death of the person is related to public office, an ad hoc investigation is initiated.

Unlike the other prosecutors, Nine-Tails is the only one in her office, and she doesn't even have an assistant. In other words, all documents have to be sorted out by one person, and the workload is very large. For example, in the case of the death of Anna's husband, when the evidence is seen, it takes hours. Videos, transcripts, eyewitness statements, evidence from the physical evidence team, forensic reports, etc.

Cao Yun knocked on the door and was allowed to enter the Nine-Tails office.

The Nine-Tails were working, sitting very upright, looking at the computer screen with their eyes on the computer, holding a cup in their right hand and a mouse in their left hand. Nine-Tails is a left-hander, and Cao Yun has always believed that left-handed women have a natural attraction. Lin Luo is also left-handed.

Nine-tails is dual-minded: "I didn't expect to have the opportunity to cooperate with Lawyer Cao, just sit casually." ”

Cao Yun sat down and said, "The prosecutor can refuse the insurance company's request for a joint investigation. ”

Nine-Tails: "That's right, but I don't have any errand staff around me." ”

Haha! Running errands?

Nine-Tails said: "All materials have text materials, on the table next to you. You help me sort it out and remove the unnecessary information, I believe you still have the ability. ”

"Okay. Cao Yun obediently began to sort out the materials. Why? I was paid by the insurance company to cooperate with and assist the Nine-Tails investigation, and the remuneration already included listening to the Nine-Tails. And although this work is boring, it can provide a complete picture of the current situation in the hands of the judiciary.

Anna's husband's name is Pease. After divorcing four years ago, he married Anna and was a deputy warden of Dongtang Prison. No smoking, no drinking, no gambling X, no bad habits.

According to the subway surveillance video, there were many people who took the subway to work that day, and everyone was crowded behind the yellow line. That's when a subway train arrived. In the video, Pease, dressed in a gray suit, rushes forward and stumbles down the platform. The subway train is already slowing down and preparing to stop, but after all, it is only slowing down. Less than two seconds after Pease fell, the train departed.

The video is high in pixels and has multiple angles. But there are two bad problems. The first is that there were a lot of people at that time, and it was a rush hour when the staff had to push to close the train doors (if you are interested, you can watch the video, two or three staff members forced people in). The second problem was because it was raining that day, and there were a lot of people wearing raincoats and bringing umbrellas. Because of this, when queuing together, people in the queue will try to avoid the water of their raincoats or umbrellas as much as possible to avoid touching others. There are more people in the video who are dynamic than static.

Nine-tails walked behind Cao Yun and looked at the computer video in front of Cao Yun: "I watched all the videos of the subway, and I didn't find any suspicious people following Peas. ”

Cao Yun asked, "After Pease fell off the platform, how many people turned around and left the platform?"

Nine-Tails: "No, everyone retreats according to the staff's request." Some people go to the bathroom, some go to the small supermarket, some rest in the waiting hall and no one is found leaving the subway station. It can be seen from the action of Pease's fall that Pease rushed out only under the impetus of an external force. ”

Cao Yun asked: "The murderer may not have known that Pease would be standing in the first row waiting for the subway. "The most favorable video didn't find the suspect. Either there is no suspicion of the culprit, or the suspect is a repeat offender.

Nine-Tails: "You go on, I'll go to lunch." ”

Cao Yun: "Can you pack one for me?"

Nine-tails looked at Cao Yun with disgust for two seconds: "Yes." When the position was in agreement, the Nine-Tails found that Cao Yun was not annoying. But Nine-Tails would rather hate Cao Yun.

Cao Yun smiled indifferently, people have hot bodies and beautiful faces, and their patience will naturally increase by ten grades. Man is, after all, a human being, a sensual animal.

Much of the material is about the situation in Pease prison, and the prosecution's main target is whether Pease was killed because of prison work.

Dongtang Prison has three deputy wardens, and Pease is mainly responsible for logistics, such as food, education, distancing, hygiene, and receiving complaints from prisoners. The resume is normal, and in his 10 years of prison work, Pease has not helped any prisoners reduce their sentences. According to the reactions of his colleagues, Pease is a very rigid person, does not talk much, goes to work normally, gets off work normally, does not care about idle things, and is not enthusiastic about his career. I have a good relationship with my colleagues. The prisoners had no opinion on him, and many of them did not even have an impression of him.

Because it is a special job, the prison has purchased up to 8 million personal accident insurance for Pease.

During the afternoon lunch break, Nine-Tails rested in a small bed in the office cubicle. After reading the materials, Cao Yun connected to the ocean: "This list can not be recognized." ”

Ocean: "What do you say?"

Cao Yun: "Judging from the current investigation by the prosecutor, the possibility of Pease's suicide cannot be ruled out. Give it to me, I will kill myself, and Anna will not get a penny. ”

Murderous?

Cao Yun turned around, only to see Nine-Tails' annoyed hands crossed on his chest and glaring at him. Cao Yun grinned and continued the call: "From the introduction of the prison staff and inmates, Pease lacks enthusiasm for life, and suicide is very likely. ”

Ocean asked, "The truth is suicide?"

Cao Yun said: "Hai Dong, do you care about the facts?"

Ocean smiled: "We mainly care about Anna, if there are facts that are the best." If there are no facts, suicide is also okay. ”

What the ocean means is that he hopes to accuse Anna of insurance fraud through Pease's death, and spit it out along with the first two insurance fraud policies. If you can't do this, you can be satisfied with the Pease suicide insurance company.

Hung up the phone, Nine-Tails: "Hey, do you still have a conscience?"

Cao Yun said unhurriedly: "Your neighbor gave you 100 yuan, please bring him a can of Qixi." When you buy it, you think that carbonated drinks are not good for people, so you buy a bottle of mineral water, and when you go back, you say to your neighbors. You think that's conscience?"

Nine-Tails: "It's completely different, Pease was killed." ”

Cao Yun asked rhetorically: "Is there evidence to prove that Pease was killed, not suicide? As long as it cannot be proved that Pease was killed, there is a possibility of suicide, and as long as there is a possibility of suicide, the insurance company does not have to compensate." Tell me, on what basis do you think Pease was killed?"

Not to be outdone, Nine-Tails said: "You don't care if Pease is killed or not, you only care about how much benefit you can fight for the insurance company." ”

Cao Yun asked, "I don't fight for their interests, why should they hire me?"

"......" Nine-Tails was speechless: "However, there must be a bottom line in life." ”

Cao Yun: "Legal provisions?"

"Not really. ”

Cao Yun: "Do you think your bottom line is very high?"

Nine-tails nodded seriously: "I am a cultured person. ”

Cao Yun: "In that case, why are you trying to convince me that the bottom line is so low?"

Nine-Tails: "Because I don't think you're inherently bad." ”

Cao Yun: "Wow, you want to save my soul?"

Nine-Tails was speechless again: "Okay, when I didn't say okay? The insurance company also hopes that this case is Anna's insurance fraud case, at least we still have room for cooperation." ”

"Agreed. ”

"What did you find?"

"Watch the video. Cao Yun pulled the progress bar, which was a five-second video of Pease falling off the platform.

"Huh?" Nine-Tails looked at it twice, not understanding what Cao Yun meant.

"Watch out for this T-shirt guy. ”

"Huh?" Nine-Tails still didn't understand.

Cao Yun said: "When Pease falls off the platform, the people around him will definitely be surprised, and most people will subconsciously stretch their heads to see Pease's situation." It's just this little brother, he turns his head to look at people. Looking at his position again, he was in the Pease column, separated by a woman from Pease. If he's lucky, maybe he'll find out. ”

Jiuwei flipped through the information and found the transcript: "His name is Tianbao, and he is a student majoring in hydropower at Dongtang University. He told the police that nothing unusual had been found. ”

Cao Yun was silent, and the level of criminal investigation of the Nine-Tails was very average. This is normal. The Nine-Tails specialize in prosecution, not special searches. In addition, the Nine-Tails mainly investigates whether Pease was killed because of his duties, not the cause of Pease's death. According to the procedure, the Nine-Tails can hand over the case to the police as long as it proves that there is no problem with Pease's position. How can it be proved? Pease has no gray income, income and consumption are compatible, there is no abuse of prisoners, there is no acceptance of prisoners' favors, etc. In this regard, the Nine-Tails does not need to have a high level of criminal investigation.

But the Nine-Tails are nosy, and after doing his job properly, he still wants to investigate the cause of Pease's death.

Cao Yun: "Shall we meet this Tianbao?"

Nine-Tails nodded: "Okay." She was hopeless, and if Tianbao really saw the suspect, there was no reason not to explain it to the police.
