Chapter 775: [Meeting]
For a good man, his wife is not terrible, but his wife's best friends are the most terrible.
Especially people who have inexplicably become the best friends of their wives, such as Yang Cai.
A man will not admit that he is not attractive enough, lacks attraction to the opposite sex, naΓ―ve idiots such as Mr. Zhou Botong, once he has the opportunity, he has to prove himself, not to mention today's people? Zhou Yi is the same, although he has no thoughts about Yang Cai, and he can't have any ideas, he will be a little nervous when he sees her after the famous grass has a master, for fear that if he is not careful, he will not be able to live with his wife, but this feeling is also very subtle, nervous, slightly sour, and a little proud, it is so complicated.
But I didn't think that a woman is really a very strange animal, he felt very strange when he saw Yang Cai as a bridesmaid at the Yunshui wedding banquet, he didn't expect that his wife and her hadn't met a few times, and the two daughters became good friends, looking at the heroic but feminine Yang Cai, Zhou Yi was in a complicated mood, and couldn't help asking: "Is it Liu Wu who asked you to be my 'master'? When did you become Mary Yang and Xiangjiang barrister?"
"What is this, that? I studied law in college, and I also inherited my uncle's law firm in Xiangjiang, and my sisters are still very famous in the legal circles of Xiangjiang!"
It was already afternoon at this time, and there were no diners in Lao Su's tea restaurant, so the two asked for some simple pineapple buns and stockings milk tea while eating and drinking, but there was a little fresh romantic mood, Yang Cai was still so atmospheric, hehehe, he smiled very heartily.
"You, very famous?" Zhou Yi was stunned, this female man who is known as a flower eater and dreams of becoming an excellent war correspondent actually boasted and praised herself, saying that she is very famous in the legal circles of Xiangjiang, is this a pit dad or a pit dad or a pit dad?
"Hehe, dumbfounded, aren't you? My sisters are famous, and that's because after inheriting my uncle's law firm, I passed the LLB exam in only two years. Although it can't be compared to your pervert, it's a genius. β
Yang Cai shook his head proudly: "But the sisters have never won in court, it is a common defeat, in fact, it is not a common defeat, it seems that it is probably possible, and the sisters have taken over two cases."
"I see" Zhou Yi heard a black line on his face, this is right, as early as when he was threatened by a female man to go deep into the Yang family with her fake phoenix, he heard Yang's mother mention her deceased uncle, and I didn't think of the Yang family's children Duoqizhi. Her father is a socialist official in the mainland, but her uncle is doing the big picture of capitalism, so he doesn't delay the two of them? I didn't expect to keep a law firm for her, so that this sister has become a celebrity in the legal circles of Xiangjiang, but it is nonsense to be famous after losing two lawsuits, it is estimated that it is because of the young and beautiful people, and the current situation of the legal circles in Xiangjiang, especially the big circle, where wolves have more meat and less sisters.
It's not bad to think about it, with the Li family's wealth, I want to help myself find a master in Xiangjiang. I don't know how many law firms and big cases have to fight for their heads, all of them are here for interests, are they tired? After all, Yang Cai and Yang Cai are acquaintances, and they look at each other well. This arrangement is good.
The problem is that it is not Li Chaoren who arranges this, but his own daughter-in-law, what kind of psychology is this? Test yourself? Or do you fully trust yourself and your best friends? Zhou Yi feels that he thinks too much, although he is not a cultivator. Walking is also the path of cultivation, why bother mediocre people to disturb themselves? Amitabha, the son of relics. The color is not different from the empty, and the empty is not different from the color.
Yang Cai is indeed a confidante in a man's dream, beautiful, bold, and full of force at the same time, he also has a gentle mood, when he first met Zhou Yi, he was in Feiyinglin, it can be seen that this sister also understands romantic, and now she has become a girlfriend with Liu Wu, you can flirt with him, but you won't really get into trouble, this feels just now, a man likes it.
And according to Yang Cai, the business of the law firm she inherited from her uncle was very sluggish, and now there are only two or three big cats and kittens left, Qin Shuimei's case is quite confusing, attracting the attention of many Xiangjiang people, and Zhou Yi hanging in her law firm is also the best of both worlds.
***
The identity of Li Jiabiao's niece and son-in-law and the rare genius of Xiangjiang University in a century has made Zhou Yi's road to the grand case extremely smooth and smooth, and the Attorney General's Chambers will also give him the green light, and he will soon obtain the status of a trainee and can 'cooperate' with Barrister Yang Cai to handle the case.
Because Qin Shuimei is suspected of a murder case, the anti-pornography team has transferred her to the serious crime team to deal with it, and the lawyer Ma Ming found by Yang Cai is very familiar with the people here, so he greeted him with a smile when he entered, and introduced the new Zhou Yi to these policemen.
The police officer in charge of Qin Shuimei's case was surnamed Luo, and when he heard that a lawyer was coming, he didn't rush to interrogate Qin Shuimei, and was drinking coffee and waiting for Zhou Yi and Ma Ming to come.
In an area ruled by law like Xiangjiang, a lawyer must be present when the defendant is arraigned for a serious crime like murder, otherwise the defendant's confession will not be accepted by the court. If they cannot afford a lawyer, then the government will appoint a lawyer for them. This is the rule on the surface.
Of course, the police also look at people, like those short mule gangsters who have repeatedly committed crimes, they can't afford to hire a lawyer, and the government-appointed lawyer will not be in place at the first time, this time difference is the time for them to use the means, all kinds of methods emerge in an endless stream, and even the injuries can't be examined; but this is mostly to make these guys turn into tainted witnesses, not for confessions, because there is no lawyer present, and it is useless for these guys to make confessions.
Walking into the arraignment room, Zhou Yi saw Qin Shuimei, who was pale, her hair was a little scattered, her eyes seemed to be out of focus, staring blankly at the air in front of her, dressed very sexy, and wearing crimson lip gloss, which was very different from her image in the tea restaurant.
Seeing Zhou Yi and Ma Ming at a glance, Qin Shuimei screamed: "Help me, you must help me! I didn't kill that bastard, it was him...... He fell on his own, I didn't kill him, I didn't kill him......"
"Strange ......"
Zhou Yi immediately probed Qin Shuimei's spiritual consciousness and made sure that she was not lying, but when she said, 'He fell down by himself', he lied 100%. Since she didn't push Huang Guangming out of the window, and Huang Guangming didn't fall down by himself, who was the murderer? Zhou Yi's eyebrows moved, interesting, he couldn't imagine that he would encounter such an interesting case on his first day as a barrister.
"Alright. As long as you don't kill anyone, I will definitely be able to help you get rid of it, don't worry......"
Zhou Yi smiled slightly, and looked at Qin Shuimei with a very firm gaze: "In my dictionary, there has never been the word 'no'!" He must now help Qin Shuimei calm down. Officer Luo and another policewoman in charge of recording glanced at Zhou Yi in surprise, this barrister they had never seen before, he should be a newcomer, why is he so loud?
Perhaps infected by his strong self-confidence, Qin Shuimei gradually calmed down, and her face regained a little blood.
"Alright. Qin Shuimei, I am Officer Law Ka Choi of the Serious Crime Unit of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Mong Kok Branch of the Kowloon Region of Hong Kong, this is Officer Li Li, and we will be in charge of your interrogation......"
After Officer Luo asked Zhou Yi and Ma Ming to sit next to Qin Shuimei, he said, "Xiangjiang has the right to be silent, and you can refuse to answer all our questions." But I don't recommend that you do that, because your testimony may be helpful in clarifying the facts, and if you really didn't kill anyone, I can't think of any reason why you should refuse to answer. β
"Hmm...... I'm willing to cooperate. Qin Shuimei nodded.
"That's good. Ms. Qin. Between 0 and 2 a.m. on July 20, 2013, did you go with Huang Guangming to the 'Lai Woo Hotel' in Mong Kok?"
Qin Shuimei glanced at Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi nodded slightly: "You can answer this question." β
Luo Jiacai asked. Basically, it was the incident that day, which was more detailed than in the news report. When Qin Shuimei replied that she and Huang Guangming hid together in room 801 of the 'Liyou Hotel', the Luo family suddenly changed their words and did not continue to ask what was going on in the room at that time. Instead, he asked: "You just scolded Huang Guangming for being a bastard, why do you have such an evaluation of him, just because he controls you to sell ~ prostitution?"
"Ms. Qin. You can refuse to answer this question because it has nothing to do with the case!"
Zhou Yi frowned: "Officer Luo, please pay attention to the way you ask questions." A 'groom' like Huang Guangming, who makes a fortune by relying on women, even if he is an ordinary person who does not know him, can call him a bastard, let alone my client? β
"Zhou Daxiang, I...... I can answer that question. Qin Shuimei shook her head and said, "Otherwise, it may make them even more misunderstood." β
"Okay, but be cautious when you answer. Zhou Yi sighed: "As your defense lawyer, I must remind you of this. β
Luo Jiacai glanced at Zhou Yi and said, "Ms. Qin, can you say it now?"
"I hate him, I hate this bastard!" Qin Shuimei's eyes turned red: "I have a fourteen-year-old daughter, who is now a student in the second year of junior high school, I always thought she was a good child, and I came out to sell it for her...... But on that day, I actually met her at the 'Liyou Hotel'...... She was flustered and didn't see me, but I did, and she was wearing a bathrobe, a bathrobe...... Woohoo......"
"What, Meimei actually appeared in the 'Liyou' Hotel?" Zhou Yi was stunned, he had seen the introduction of Qin Shuimei's daughter on the information, and the photo was a very well-behaved little girl, but he didn't expect it to be ......
Running out in a bathrobe in that kind of place, fools know what's going on.
"Yes, your daughter Ge Meimei was also met by our colleagues in the anti-pornography team, and it is likely that Huang Guangming is controlling her to sell ~ prostitution. However, she was a minor, and Huang Guangming, who was most likely to control her, was dead, so we let her go......"
Luo Jiacai suddenly raised his voice: "You saw your daughter appear in the Liyou Hotel, so you suspect that Huang Guangming is controlling her behind the scenes, right!"
"Yes, because Meimei is a good student, she has never seen any rotten people, the only one she has seen is Huang Guangming, and only once...... This bastard, this bastard......" Qin Shuimei cried bitterly.
At this time, it is the best time to break through the suspect's mental defense. Luo Jiacai raised his voice again, pressed his hands on the table, leaned over half of his body, and stared at Qin Shuimei's eyes fiercely: "That's why you have a grudge against Huang Guangming, so you followed him into room 801, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to push him to fall downstairs, isn't it!"
"Hmph!" Zhou Yi stretched out his right hand and slapped the table violently, the table shook violently, and the Luo family felt that his hands were numb, and he almost lost his support and lay on the table: "On behalf of my client, I refuse to answer this kind of question!" Officer Luo, I remind you again that if you still insist on using this way of asking questions, I will complain to your superiors!"
Luo Jiacai sat back with a muffled snort, glanced at Zhou Yi, and was a little frightened in his heart. If a barrister complains, the Internal Investigation Division will definitely talk to him, and that's a problem.
"I don't have anything to say, yes, I chased into room 801 and Huang Guangming theory because I saw Meimei, but I didn't push him downstairs!"
Qin Shuimei said loudly: "It was because a police officer knocked on the door that he climbed out of the window by himself and wanted to escape along the sewer pipe, but he fell to his death because his hand slipped......"
"You're lying!" Luo Jiacai snorted coldly, "Our colleagues from the Forensic Department have already inspected all the water and sewer pipes outside Room 801, and there is no trace of climbing at all. In other words, Huang Guangming was simply pushed out of the window and fell to his death! Let me remind you again, Ms. Qin, the lower frame of the window in room 801 is one hundred and twenty-three centimeters above the ground, and there is no possibility that Huang Guangming accidentally fell out of the window at such a height! His death could only be murder, not an accident!"
"We have at least two witnesses who can prove that you were the most suspicious at that time!" Luo Jiacai narrowed his eyes and carefully observed Qin Shuimei's face: "The evidence is ironclad! Do you think you can get away with making up a lie? Do you think you can be fine if you hire a barrister? Let me tell you, you are dreaming!"
"Officer Luo, are you a client who threatens me?"
Zhou Yi sneered: "When did you become a judge? Do you want a jury composed of 7 people to do it alone? Convict before trial, you can't be a barrister when I am a barrister!"
This interrogation ended in a fierce confrontation between the two sides, and Luo Jiacai walked out of the interrogation room with Zhou Yi and them with a calm face.
Ma Ming smiled and played a few words, and then he was busy getting the transcript of the witness's testimony, Zhou Yi glanced at Luo Jiacai with a smile: "Officer Luo, there was a faux pas just now, don't blame it, it's just my job." β
"Hmm...... I can understand. Luo Jiacai glanced at him, shook his head and smiled: "You are a very powerful barrister, Qin Shuimei can be regarded as finding the right person, which is very good." β
"Hehe, it seems that Officer Luo still sympathizes with her?"
"Yes, I sympathize with her plight, but now all the evidence proves that she is the most suspicious, and if she really kills, she should be punished by law. Luo Jiacai said: "This is also my job, you lawyers only see us murdered the defendant, in fact, we don't want to." β
"Long live understanding. At this time, Ma Ming also came back after getting the transcript, and Zhou Yi shook hands with Luo Jiacai with a smile: "I will definitely convince the jury that Qin Shuimei did not kill anyone." β
Back in Yau Ma Tei, Zhou Yi first found Lao Su and asked about Ge Meimei's situation. Lao Su is a kind-hearted person, after Qin Shuimei's accident, he appeased Ge Meimei as soon as possible, and now Ge Meimei has lived in his house and is accompanied by his daughter.
Yau Ma Tei may not be a high-end residential area, but it is a very human place. Lao Su's performance reminded Zhou Yi of the simple and kind folks in his hometown, and he felt very kind.
Back at home, Zhou Yi carefully read the transcript, and on the surface, the evidence was indeed very unfavorable to Qin Shuimei. (To be continued......)
