Chapter 349: The Little Case of the East (Part II)
At eight o'clock in the evening, the two invited guests arrived at the Oriental Inner Courtyard. The Oriental Inner Courtyard is dominated by Roman architectural style, with fountains, rockeries, gardens, squares, etc., making the Inner Courtyard look very atmospheric and vulgar. Including the sumptuous dinner, I won't go into detail here. (Otherwise I could make up a thousand words)
Dongfang didn't dine with everyone, he had already eaten, and arrived at the restaurant in the second half of everyone's meal. The reason why he doesn't eat with others is that he doesn't want others to see that he needs to be fed, and he wants everyone to see a brave and uplifting East.
Bai Menglou accompanied Dongfang, and Bai Menglou introduced the matter first.
Bai Menglou: "The walking path, that is, the road where the accident occurred, is the special path for Mr. Dongfang when he walks. You can imagine that Mr. Dongfang was looking at the scenery on the road, and a fast sprinting vehicle came from behind. Mr. Dongfang is in poor health, and it is likely that a tragedy will happen because of this. ”
Bai Menglou went on to explain the real situation.
The police were right, there were indeed two cars in this matter. Dongfang had planned to go to the promenade an hour before the incident, that is, in the evening, to take a break to watch the sunset, and a bodyguard's car was waiting near the promenade. The bodyguard saw a vehicle on the walkway and immediately followed. The bodyguard's driving skills are obviously better than Wang Shi's, and he immediately caught up with the Internet celebrity car.
The bodyguard lightly hit the rear of the Internet celebrity car with the side of the front of the car, and hit the steering wheel, trying to make the Internet celebrity car change from vertical to horizontal, and forcibly stopped. The driver of the Internet celebrity car hit the steering wheel too much, coupled with the speed was too fast, and finally the tragedy of falling off the cliff occurred.
The car that caused the accident is now in the parking lot of the Eastern Inner Courtyard.
Bai Menglou: "Mr. Dongfang doesn't want to be loyal, and his bodyguards go to jail to protect his safety. The Eastern Bloc also has a legal department and good lawyers, but after all, they are part-time workers, and their salaries are not enough to make them work too hard. Needless to say, Lawyer Linghu has been doing very well in several police-related cases recently. I hope that the two of you can solve this matter through legal means. ”
Cao Yun and Linghu Tian'er looked at each other for five seconds, and then looked at Bai Menglou together, Cao Yun asked, "Have you two not consulted any lawyers?"
Bai Menglou said: "The chief lawyer, Xuanyuan Fa, thought that he was humiliated in the court, and left his post in anger. Hu Yanping's lawyer's license was revoked. At present, there are relatively few people in the legal department of the Eastern Bloc who can be fully trusted. ”
Cao Yun smiled bitterly: "This is a very simple thing, such as ......"
Cao Yun picked up the chopsticks and broke them, and then pinched the broken part, which seemed to be a good chopstick. Cao Yun let go, and the chopsticks fell to the ground: "Oops, the chopsticks are broken." ”
Dongfang smiled, first bitterly, and then smiled speechlessly: "Interlacing is like separating mountains, I really didn't expect it to be so simple." ”
Ten minutes later, at the side of the inner courtyard of the East, the vehicle involved in the accident rear-ended the vehicle of the Dongfang bodyguard, and the bodyguard called the police, and the traffic police determined that the vehicle involved in the accident was fully responsible, that is, another bodyguard was fully responsible.
It's a very bad, very shady approach. There is a joke that if you are investigated for drunk driving, you don't open the door, and you drink a bottle of wine immediately, and the police can't prove whether you have drunk alcohol before. This is not right. The subjective malicious cover-up is too obvious and will not be recognized by the court, and it must be dealt with as drunk driving. And because a bottle of wine is added, the alcohol concentration is even higher.
The next thing to talk about is insurance and the scene, doing the scene is a term that cannot be on the table, but most drivers know. For example, if your friend drives your car unlicensed and crashes into a tree, the insurance will not pay. At this time, if you drive and hit another tree or a concrete pier, the second impact will cover the first impact, and the insurance will naturally pay for it.
If the car involved in the accident, the police will have no evidence, and everything will naturally go with it. If it is a civilian, after the ideological work of the police, it is still very likely to confess and be lenient. Dongfang is different, people have money to smash lawyers, and a word that is not good for him will not come out of his mouth. In addition, the car was not registered in his name and had no direct legal relationship with him.
The East also has its troubles. The chief lawyer, Xuanyuan Fa, resigned in a fit of rage, and the more trustworthy Hu Yanping lost his armor and lost his lawyer's certificate. The Oriental Group has a legal department, but this case is more sensitive, and Oriental needs a lawyer it can trust to handle the matter. In short, I didn't do a good job and needed someone to wipe my ass. Dongfang also doesn't trust Cao Yun and Linghu Tian'er's character, but he believes in the work ethic of the two.
This matter was so lightly resolved that the originally grand dinner became boring. Dongfang chatted with the two for a while, until the nurse reminded them, Dongfang said goodbye to the two and asked Bai Menglou to send the two back.
Cao Yun and Linghu Tian'er naturally stood up and sent Dongfang, no matter what, they were the masters. The nurse pushed Dongfang past Cao Yun, Cao Yun bowed his head slightly, kept smiling and watched Dongfang leave.
This taste......
The nurse is very professional, wearing a mask and a black ponytail that looks simple. However, the scent of the nurse's hair seems to be very close to the scent of Flame Attendant One. Cao Yun wasn't sure, he wasn't a master of smell, he had just paid attention to the scent of waiter No. 1. The nurse's hair is about the same as the waiter's number one.
But even if it's the same, it only means that the shampoo they use is a brand and a model.
Cao Yun and Linghu Tian'er sat down, and after chatting with Bai Menglou, who was going to meet the host, they took the opportunity to leave, and it was not appropriate to leave immediately. Bai Menglou knew how to be hospitable, and chatted with the two while adding tea to the two.
Linghu Tian'er asked a question that Cao Yun didn't dare to ask: "Mr. Bai, I'm a little curious, Mr. Dongfang's nurse seems to be very young...... I don't mean anything else, Mr. Dongfang must be surrounded by the best, and the best nurses should be older nurses. ”
Bai Menglou said: "Miss Linghu underestimates them, they are professionals with professional nursing qualifications, and they all have pharmacist qualification certificates. ”
Cao Yun wondered: "They?"
Bai Menglou did not hide it: "There are two full-time nurses of Mr. Dongfang, and they are twin sisters. ”
"Oh!" Cao Yun didn't ask, looked at the big wall clock in the restaurant, and stood up: "It's not early, don't dare to disturb again." ”
Linghu Tian'er also stood up: "Thank you for your hospitality, the dinner is very rich." ”
"You're kind to the two, then I'll send the two out. Bai Menglou took out two checks from his pocket, one for each person, one million each: "A little hard work, don't shirk it." ”
This is hush money, Cao Yun and Ling Hu Tian'er took it without excuse.
……
The two politely rejected Bai Menglou's proposal to send a driver to send them, Cao Yun didn't drive today, and got into Linghu Tian'er's car.
Ling Hu Tian'er drove and said, "Cao Yun, is it right for us to do this?"
Cao Yun asked rhetorically: "What's right?" Looking at the check, it should be real, this money is really easy to make.
Linghu Tian'er said: "Knowing that the death of the Internet celebrity was committed by the bodyguard, we came up with a bad idea to help the bodyguard get away with it." ”
Cao Yun smiled: "This seems to be a very rudimentary problem. ”
Linghu Tian'er: "No, before we knew that the bodyguard did it, we were just invited to the dinner, and we didn't know the truth of the matter, and we didn't accept the commission." Logically speaking, we should persuade the bodyguard to turn himself in, rather than find a way to help the bodyguard cover up the matter. ”
Cao Yun asked: "If the other party refuses to turn himself in, will you report it?"
Ling Hu Tian'er shook her head: "This is professional ethics. "Just as a priest listens to a criminal repentant, he can't call the police.
Cao Yun: "That ......"
Linghu Tian'er: "Change your perspective." It's not an internet celebrity, it's not in the Eastern Peninsula. A couple was driving to take wedding photos, and was rear-ended by bodyguards and fell off a cliff, will we also help Dongfang deal with this matter?"
Cao Yun said: "Your assumption is meaningless, if it is your assumption, Dongfang will not have a showdown with us to tell the truth." What's wrong? Looks like you're on your mind?"
Linghu Tian'er: "I have recently received three lawsuits related to the judicial department in a row. One of the lawsuits was a burglary and wounding case. After the police intervened, they locked on the suspect through the camera and arrested the suspect. A search warrant was found in his home to reveal important evidence, namely a dagger in the possession of the assailants, on which there was also DNA residues of the victim. I, as the defendant's lawyer, challenged the evidence presented by the police at the trial. ”
There was a newcomer who had a cold and insisted on going to work that day. He sneezed before sealing the dagger into the evidence bag, and wiped his nose with his gloved hands, resulting in the dagger appearing with the DNA of a third person, the witness officer. In the end, the court ruled that the dagger evidence was contaminated and could not be presented as evidence in court. Surveillance video only proves that the suspect was in the vicinity of the victim's home at the time, and the suspect was eventually released in court due to insufficient evidence.
Linghu Tian'er: "My mother recommended the case to me, and she told me that this case can be overturned." I immediately met with the suspect and suggested that he should not take the initiative to confess to the crime. I know it's him, but why would my mom recommend this lawsuit to me? I really don't want to fight this kind of lawsuit. ”
Cao Yun said: "Dongfang rarely meets guests, and today is because of special reasons to meet us. If you don't have this case to make a foundation, I'm afraid you are not qualified to be invited by the East. ”
Linghu Tian'er said: "I know, I have won three lawsuits with the judicial department in a row, so I am famous." ”
Cao Yun sighed: "Who hasn't been confused about this question of you? I suggest you talk to your mother." I don't usually go into this kind of case. "Different from the nature of today's Gang Dongfang, Internet celebrities are speeding through, just to shoot videos, Cao Yun has no subjective sense of liking or disliking the case. Dongfang is so polite, so elevated, so rich, he will definitely help Dongfang. Who makes himself a villain?
On the other hand, in the case of the murder weapon being contaminated, Cao Yun would not touch it. Cao Yun didn't know how to comfort Ling Hu Tian'er, nor did he know Ling Hu Lan's intentions, so he could only let Ling Hu Tian'er and Ling Hu Lan communicate privately.
Because the atmosphere and topics in the car were relatively depressing, Cao Yun pretended to sleep and returned to the lawyer's office.
got out of the car at the door of the law firm, Cao Yun and Ling Hu Tian'er exchanged a few polite words, watched Ling Hu Tian'er drive away, and turned back to the law firm. It was already half past ten in the evening when I returned to the lawyer's office, and the living room was still brightly lit.
"What's the situation?" Cao Yun took off his suit and held it in his hand, unbuttoning his tie and white shirt.
Li Mo said: "I'm doing something nearby, so come over and say hello by the way." ”
Cao Yun said: "You talk, I washed and slept." ”
"Wait. Li Mo said: "Cao Yun, I don't ask you about the East, I know that you are a person with 'professional ethics'." "Professional ethics is said through gritted teeth, and there are objectively some conflicts and contradictions between good policemen and good lawyers.
Cao Yun said: "It's just a traffic accident, no one wants a tragedy to happen." Cao Yun didn't feel guilty at all.
Sima Luo said: "This is a matter of traffic class, let's not talk about it." Cao Yun: Do you know that the pony committed suicide?"
"Pony?" Cao Yun searched his thesaurus, who?
Li Mo motioned for Cao Yun to sit and explained his intention. Li Mo mainly came to find Sima Luo, and the two also wanted to hear Cao Yun's opinion.
After the acquittal of the suspect, he blamed himself and left a suicide note to apologize to the victim and his fellow police officers, saying that because of his negligence, the efforts of his colleagues were in vain, resulting in the culprit of the perpetrator and the disgrace of his family, so he chose to commit suicide to apologize.
Fortunately, his colleagues were all police officers, so he had already seen that he was wrong. After he swallowed the pills, he was rescued as soon as possible, and his life was finally saved. Li Mo came to the door because of this incident.
Li Mo: "Cao Yun, this case has been over for seven days, and the prosecution reserves the right to appeal. I'm looking for Sima Luo because I want to know if this lawsuit can be fought?
Cao Yun took the carbonated drink handed over by Li Mo: "There is a very troublesome place in the appeal. The judge of first instance ruled that the evidence of the murder weapon was invalid, and unless you can present new and compelling evidence, the judge of the second instance will still rule that the evidence is invalid. ”
The second instance is not a matter of changing the judge to look at the case, and the second instance has its own peculiarities. A killed B, and A was convicted of death in the first instance. At this point, A can file an appeal. In the first type of appeal, the sentence was found to be excessive. In the second type of appeal, the crime of self-homicide is not established, assuming that no new strong evidence or new clues are presented, the original verdict will inevitably be upheld in the second instance, but the sentence may be reduced.
Sima Luo asked, "How about the protest?"
"Protesting is one way to go. Cao Yun said: "However, a protest requires a reason, and the court may not accept the protest." Contaminated evidence cannot be used as evidence in court, as is required by law. What's your reasoning?"
Li Mo smiled bitterly: "We have no reason, what do you think?"
Cao Yun pondered for a while and said, "The problem is that the pony DNA was only discovered after the identification report came out. Pony recalls that he had taken evidence that day, and that he had an act that could have contaminated the evidence. No one can prove that the pony had a cold and irregularities that caused the evidence to be contaminated that day. Strictly speaking, it's the pony's family. Is it possible for Pony as a judicial officer to frame a suspect? This is something that the court must consider. This is one of the reasons why evidence of contamination cannot be presented in court. Modern law would rather let go of a thousand than kill the wrong one, and this case is basically unsuccessful. ”
Sima Luo asked, "I really can't help it?"
Cao Yun said for a long time: "There are a lot of damage tricks for lawyers, and sometimes they can't even be called losses, they can be called ruthless." Both of them are very upright people, even if you have a little Jiujiu in your heart, you still have to stick to integrity...... I don't know if I should wade into this troubled water...... Forget it, so be it. "There must be a way, but this is beyond Cao Yun's bottom line, and he can't even say it.
Li Mo said: "Cao Yun, don't you understand? Now it is no longer a question of whether the suspect can be convicted. We're more worried that the ponies won't be able to think about it. We can understand the pressure on him, and this mistake will leave a permanent shadow on his heart. ”
Cao Yun asked rhetorically: "Li Mo, if you are a pony, you can save the situation by cutting off yourself now, what are you doing?"
Li Mo replied without hesitation: "Dry." I'm not saying that the suspect deserves to be cut off, I'm willing to cut off my mistake. ”
Cao Yun thought for a long time and burst into tears: "Two, I really don't want to wade into troubled waters." I'm tired, so be it. Ignore the two of them and go back to sleep.
