Chapter 169: The Beast of Law
"What's the matter? chase our procuratorate girl, and still want me, the little section chief, to connect you as the director and be a matchmaker?" Zhang Ruiming was still pretending to be stupid.
Chen Jie ignored him, he directly threw the two documents on the table, Zhang Ruiming only glanced at it, and knew that one of them was the "Application for Withdrawal of the Case", and the other was the "Application for Arrest Warrant".
One is withdrawn, the other is a direct arrest, two documents with completely different purposes, what does Chen Jie want to do?
"What do you mean by that?"
"Section Chief Zhang, I don't have time to go around in circles with you, you have to give me an answer today, either I will go to your Public Prosecution Department today and approve the arrest warrant against Wang Yingying, or I will directly withdraw this case. In any case, the evidence is insufficient to meet the standard for prosecution. ”
"How do you want me to reply?" Zhang Ruiming became serious, he actually vaguely knew what Chen Jie wanted in his heart.
"The "ledger" in your hand, give it to me, I'll take this to solve this case directly, I don't have time to spend on this every day. ”
Sure enough, Chen Jie is more anxious than himself, and he wants to force himself to give him a thorough understanding today.
"Ju Chen, I'll tell you the truth, this "account book" may really be illegal evidence, I really can't just give it to you directly, and it will hurt you if I give it to you, let's find other evidence and discuss it in the long run. ”
"Then I'll go to your Public Prosecution Department today to apply for the withdrawal of the case, what Chen Anhe and Li Yongjian arrested before, all the releases. Anyway, we are also rats in the bellows, and we are angry at both ends. Don't do it, don't do anything. ”
Zhang Ruiming shook his head bitterly, he knew that Chen Jie was talking angrily, but he could only say silently: "Then the new Mayor Zhang, how are you going to explain?"
"How do you explain? Anyway, the water quality test results have not yet come out, and it will be a matter for their environmental protection bureau to do so, and the emperor is not anxious about what we eunuchs are anxious about? ”
Zhang Ruiming heard that Chen Jie was going to "slack off", he took a sip of water and said: "Chen Ju, give me some more time, I'll see if I can make a breakthrough, this "account book" thing...... Let's put me here first. ”
Chen Jie stared at Zhang Ruiming, seeing the helplessness in his eyes, he said after a while: "Okay, I'll wait for your news." After speaking, he got up and left Zhang Ruiming's small office.
…………
Not long after Chen Jie left, Zhang Ruiming's mobile phone rang, he really wanted to come to something, but unfortunately Zhang Ruiming was not thinking about a good thing at this time, and the person who came to call was not a good turn.
Every time Liao Cai's phone call comes, it is really timely, and in the last "drug runway" case, it was also her sudden phone invitation, which led Zhang Ruiming to fall into Wu Kaiming's trap and was suspended for investigation, which almost affected the direction of the case.
And what is the phone call for? spying, provocative, or warning?
Zhang Ruiming slowly connected while thinking, and Liao Cairou's glutinous voice came from there, "Senior brother, what are you doing? It took so long to answer my phone?
"What am I upset about?" Zhang Ruiming replied vigilantly.
"I'm annoyed that yesterday's success fell short, I almost got the key statement of my client, but I was recognized, but I really admire you, I really let you find that ledger, senior brother, how did you find it?
Liao Cai's attitude at work is in stark contrast to her usual image, Zhang Ruiming knows that his little sister usually looks like an ordinary fashion girl, although she is over thirty years old, she does not look old at all, and she is dressed in her 20s. But once in court, this beautiful girl is simply a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity under the shadow of a tree, and her tricks are deadly.
The question was already very obvious, Zhang Ruiming's voice on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then he said quietly: "Are you recording? ”
On the other end of the phone, Liao Cai smiled very happily, "Senior brother, there's no need to doubt me so much, besides, if you call a lawyer, you should be vigilant, I don't blame you, I called you today, on the one hand, I look at your annoyance, and on the other hand, I really miss you......"
Zhang Ruiming was impatient and continued to be so provoked by Liao Cai, he replied coldly: "I'm not annoyed, it's nothing, let's meet again when we go through the procedures in the case." ”
Liao Cai said to himself: "Senior brother, you should be annoyed, you shouldn't be annoyed that you shouldn't use illegal evidence, as a judicial officer who knows the law and violates the law, shouldn't you be annoyed?"
Zhang Ruiming hung up the phone directly.
This case, I didn't expect it to be still in the investigation stage, so Wang Yingying invited Dazheng Law Firm to represent this case, I think it is also because of Wu Kaiming's relationship. Taizheng Law Firm is a well-known law firm in Tianjin and Hong Kong, and it is also the starting point of Zhang Ruiming's legal career, the last time in the "drug runway" case, the fight with Wu Kaiming almost harmed himself, and Liao Cai, who was sent this time, is also a senior partner of Taizheng Law Firm, which can be said to be Wu Kaiming's favorite general, and is a brother and sister and old colleague who knows the roots of Zhang Ruiming.
This battle is not easy to fight no matter how you look at it.
Now in this case, Li Yongjian, the driver of the midstream sewage discharge, and Chen Anhe, the downstream contractor, have all been brought to the case, and the most important thing is the upstream Wang Yingying of Tianjin Pharmaceutical Chemical, and the evidence pointing to him is only the confession of Li Yongjian in the middle, and even the middleman hidden behind the scenes, Li Hongyuan, has not yet arrived in the case, and no key physical evidence has been found to confirm that Tianjin Pharmaceutical Chemical is an upstream polluting enterprise. The closest two are the last interrupted search, and then the original ledger that Zhang Ruiming secretly found this time.
In terms of inspection and identification, three inspections and appraisals have been carried out, one is the measurement of the water quality of the Jingsha River, mainly to find out to what extent the Jingsha River is currently polluted and whether it has an impact on the water use of residents, but because it is too involved, there has been no result so far, although now the public opinion rumors outside alone have made tens of millions of residents in Tianjin and Hong Kong dare not use the tap water of Tianjin and Hong Kong, which has seriously affected the normal production and life of the people in the city.
The second inspection and appraisal report has come out, and the samples taken are the samples of the sewage pond in the hut used by Chen Anhe to discharge sewage in the citrus grove of Jintian Village. This is used to confirm that there is a connection between Li Yongjian, who is in the middle of the case, and Chen Anhe, who is downstream, and the report has been released, and it is also the most powerful evidence in Zhang Ruiming's hands at present.
Although the last search was forcibly interrupted because of Wang Yingying's operation, and most of the evidence was also released, the Jingang City Procuratorate Civil Affairs Section did not return in vain, and Wu Yun and they still got the key third inspection and identification sample - the sample of the mother liquor of Tianjin Pharmaceutical Chemical Wastewater. With this test material, as long as it can be detected that there is glyphosate in the same composition as in the previous two tests and appraisals, then these three test and appraisal reports can form a strong chain of evidence and leave a final hole card for this case.
This is also Zhang Ruiming's last killer feature, but there is no guarantee that the three inspection and appraisal reports will have the same ingredients, in case one of them is inconsistent...... Or one of the procedures for extracting the sample is illegal. will lead to the abandonment of previous efforts, so before this inspection and identification, Zhang Ruiming was still scared, and had to take the risk and painstakingly "steal" the original account book of the key pharmaceutical chemical industry from his wife's computer.
originally wanted to use this account book to put Wang Yingying in, but he still gave up his efforts......
Zhang Ruiming was really a little annoyed.
Just thinking about it, his wife Tang Shi sent a WeChat message: "Come back early in the evening, I will find you if I have something." ”
This is strange, his wife rarely uses this kind of tone, Zhang Ruiming felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, he dialed a phone call, but it showed a busy tone, no one answered.
He sent a WeChat message, "What's wrong?"
But there was no response.
Zhang Ruiming's heart became more and more uneasy, and after coping with the work at hand, as soon as it was time to get off work in the afternoon, he was rarely in a hurry to rush home.
…………
Back at home, as Zhang Ruiming expected, although it was still evening, the curtains at home were all pulled down, and the whole building looked gloomy and quiet. The living room light in the house has not been turned off, and his wife Tang Shi is sitting in the farthest corner of the sofa, and the dim all-copper floor light line only shines on Tang Shi's shoulder. The wife's expression was drowned in darkness.
She sits upright, elegant and faintly alienated.
Zhang Ruiming smelled the uneasy atmosphere between the two, he could only remain silent for a while, and while sitting on a small stool in the corridor and taking off his shoes, he asked, "Why are you in a hurry to call me back, and you don't reply to text messages and calls." ”
Tang Shi didn't answer him, and still sat silently in the dark.
Zhang Ruiming took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, he approached a little closer, poured a glass of water, and pretended to ask casually: "What's the matter? Ignore me? Angry? I didn't work overtime tonight, so I rushed back directly." ”
Looking at the exceptionally quiet home, Zhang Ruiming opened his mouth and shouted: "Sister Xiaomei, Sister Xiaomei?", shouted a few words, but did not get a response.
"I gave her a day off today. Tang Shi finally spoke.
Zhang Rui Mingqi said: "What's wrong? Isn't she on vacation at the end of the month?"
"I told her to go back so we could talk about it. Tang Shi's voice was surprisingly indifferent.
"What do you want to talk about?" Zhang Ruiming sat on the sofa opposite Tang Shi suspiciously, everything at home didn't seem right today, the nanny was sent away by his wife, his father Zhang Qingcang had a falling out with Zhang Ruiming because of this case during this time, and he didn't go home outside, and Zhang's mother had gone back to the countryside this week to save relatives.
There are only two people in the family, Zhang Ruiming and his wife Tang Shi.
What's even more strange is that Zhang Ruiming saw that in the corner of the living room on the first floor, there were several large suitcases placed horizontally, and the boxes were all commonly used in Tang poetry, and they seemed to be Tang poetry things.
Zhang Ruiming asked tentatively, "What? Do you want to go on a business trip?"
Tang Shi looked at the void with his eyes, and his face was like a cold modern sculpture next to him. She was distracted for a while, and finally sighed, and said quietly: "Zhang Ruiming, who am I you?"
"You are my wife, who else can be?" Zhang Ruiming's tone became more and more confused, and the uneasiness in his heart became clearer and clearer.
At this time, he noticed that Tang Shi's mobile phone was placed on the coffee table between the two.
"Could it be that his wife is recording herself?" Zhang Ruiming, who was deeply involved in this case during this time, was too nervous, and immediately denied his suspicion of his wife in his heart.
It's not a thing either, why is it that even his wife, who has been in love for more than ten years, is suspicious.
Shaking his head to sober himself up, he changed his tone and asked, "Wife, what's wrong?
"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Tang Shi's tone was the same as Luo Zhai in the morning.
"What? should I have something to tell you?" Zhang Ruiming smiled although he was puzzled.
"Why are you still laughing? I know what you did, but do you know what you did?"
Hearing his wife say this, Zhang Ruiming was shocked, Tang Shi knew that he had stolen the account book from her?!
Zhang Ruiming stood up, and at this time he could only try to stabilize his wife's mood and see where things had got, so he tried his best to ease up with Tang Shi: "I know what I have done, I am all for this family and the country." ”
At this time, seeing that Zhang Ruiming had already confessed what he had done between his words, Tang Shi laughed angrily: "No, you don't know what you did, you just ruined my career and ruined this family." ”
Zhang Ruiming: "You believe me, no matter what I do, I am for our family." ”
Tang Shi smiled in an indifferent voice: "I won't believe it, since you secretly opened my work computer and stole the customer* information in my computer, the relationship between us has not been the same." I said, you don't know what you did, I went to the office this morning, Luo Zhai asked me to get out, I have been fired! Bastard! Because of your stupid behavior! I have lost my career! I have worked hard for more than ten years, starting from college, constantly studying, working hard, taking the CPA exam, and I have worked hard after graduation......"
In the end, Tang Shi cried in a sharp tone that Zhang Ruiming had never heard before: "All my achievements and honors have disappeared this morning because of your selfish behavior!"
Zhang Ruiming's emotions were also stimulated, "I don't think you are happy there, there are endless meetings every day, and what are the endless answers...... Case, seriously, I really want to laugh every time I hear your units talk to each other, always with a few words mixed in, but, well, maybe you don't need to work in that gang of criminals anymore!"
At this time, the confrontation between the two has completely broken out, and this villa has become a gladiatorial arena between husband and wife.
"Oh, you say that I work in a criminal gang!? Our firm uses its professional skills to measure this society, provides services to countless enterprises and units, and ensures the continuous flow of social resources! What about you? Steal my client's data from my computer! and threaten my client! What are you? A prosecutor? Or a thief?"
The word "thief" in Tang Shi's mouth completely touched Zhang Ruiming's scales.
"I'm a thief!? Then let me tell you, according to Article 35 of the "Accounting Law of the People's Republic of China": "All units must, in accordance with the provisions of the relevant laws and administrative regulations, accept the supervision and inspection carried out by the relevant supervision and inspection departments in accordance with the law, truthfully provide accounting vouchers, accounting books, financial and accounting reports, and other accounting materials, as well as relevant information, and shall not refuse, conceal, or make false reports." Aren't you a professional? Don't you look down on us people with annual salaries of five or six figures? Don't you know better than I am? You tell me, I'm a dignified people's prosecutor, why can't I verify and extract the illegal evidence I have discovered!?"
Tang Shi looked at Zhang Ruiming with mocking eyes: "What are the few years of annual salary, what have you always minded is what is going on? Then let me ask you, you yourself have said that Article 35 of the "Accounting Law" is that we are to accept the supervision and inspection carried out by the relevant supervision and inspection departments according to law, but there is a key word in this -- the word "according to law"! Have you done it? All I know is that you secretly opened my computer, took out my password, and got that account book! Is this what you call "according to law"!?"
Zhang Ruiming stared straight at his wife, he crossed his hands on his hips, and said condescendingly: "I got this evidence from my wife's computer, and this key evidence has been lying in my home and my study! How can you prove that I have broken the law? Besides, we are husband and wife, we are joint property, how do you confirm the division of the ownership of that computer?!......
Tang Shi shook her head, the corners of her mouth were tilted to the side, her expression was a little unbelievable and a little angry, she angrily interrupted Zhang Ruiming's words: "Justshutup, illyou?! Put away your legal jargon of the lawsuit! I only know that you secretly took my confidential information without my permission, and that's all I know about the law! I believe it is enough." ”
Zhang Ruiming smiled weirdly at this time, his tone softened a little, his expression was a little out of control, he seemed to say to Tang Shi, and seemed to mutter: "It's useless, it's okay, I will submit this original account book, no one will know how I got it, I can still win this public interest lawsuit." ”
"Why? I'll prove that you stole this book from me......"
"The testimony of a witness in favor of a person who is a relative or other close relationship with him is generally less probative than the testimony of other witnesses - this is the rule of evidence in our country, and you, as my wife, will not be compelled to testify in court. ”
When Zhang Ruiming said this, his expression regained the composure of a prosecutor, and he slowly analyzed the relationship between the law and the law to his wife, to see how he would attack, defend, and advance and retreat freely from the perspective of legal theory.
Tang Shi looked at the man in front of him who had known each other for more than ten years, been in love for more than ten years, and had been married for nearly ten years. But it was as if I knew him on the first day.
Tang Shi remembered a question with fear: when he said this, did he just think of it, or did he already think about every next step when he stole those account books?
Standing opposite her husband for the first time, Tang Shi finally understood the feelings of those defendants when they faced Zhang Ruiming.
This man is a beast, a beast that attacks and bites with the sharp teeth of the law, and any opponent of him will be completely torn apart and devoured by him.
