Chapter 58: President of the Criminal Tribunal

Yang Jiangchao hesitated for a moment and set his eyes on Teacher Zhou.

Teacher Zhou and Zhao Changfeng are already familiar with each other, so they have fewer scruples in their hearts, so they boldly said: "Xiao Zhao, can you take advantage of the New Year to do some activities in N City in the past few days?" If you go back like this, how can you spend the New Year with peace of mind? ”

"Yes, Brother Zhao, it's best to have something to say. Whether it's good or bad, I have a preparation in my heart. Yang Jiangchao continued on the side.

Zhao Changfeng pondered for a long time, and said to Yang Jiangchao: "Brother Yang, you are already outside now, if you have any reliable relationships, you can run and see." See what they have to say. ”

Yang Jiangchao smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhao, in the past two years, my mind has been all about Xiaohui's illness, and I have no time to deal with the relationship with the leader, and the relationship with my colleagues is also very stiff. Besides, the cases are all handled on the side of N City, and I'm afraid that the people on our side won't be able to help much. ”

Teacher Zhou's eyes turned red again, "Xiao Zhao, look at it, what relationship can you find here?" ”

In fact, Zhao Changfeng and Cheng Lu had already discussed it in F County, and it was not appropriate for any of them to come forward in the case of Yang Jiangchao, including Secretary Zhang. Cheng Lutong thought about it for a long time and thought of a candidate. This person's name is Luo Chenglong, who used to be the president of the criminal trial division of the F County Court, and after his retirement, he ran a legal service office, mainly representing various civil and criminal cases in F County. Luo Chenglong himself is from the judicial system, and has a very close relationship with the public security system, so it is most appropriate for Yang Jiangchao's case to be handed over to Luo Chenglong.

Originally, Cheng Lutong meant, this matter will be said slowly, let Yang Jiangchao go home for the New Year first, he took the time to let Secretary Zhang say hello to Luo Chenglong, and after the New Year, let Luo Chenglong go to see Yang Jiangchao, sign the case agency agreement, and officially intervene in Yang Jiangchao's case. Now that Yang Jiangchao and his wife are so anxious, Zhao Changfeng has no choice but to throw Luo Chenglong out in advance.

"Teacher Zhou, Brother Yang, someone else introduced me to someone. This person used to be the president of the criminal court of County F, and after retiring a few years ago, he opened a legal service office specializing in all kinds of civil and criminal cases. I think about it, it is most appropriate for Brother Yang to entrust him with this case. Zhao Changfeng said: "It's just that seeing that the New Year is approaching, I'm afraid that he will be too busy, so I want to wait until the end of the New Year and then take Brother Cheng to find him." ”

Cheng Lutong was refreshed when he listened, the president of the criminal trial court, how hard is the relationship? The public procuratorate and the law take it all! It is absolutely right to entrust Luo Chenglong with this case. So he said: "Xiao Zhao, then should we find a way to meet him first?" No matter how busy Luo Chenglong is, let's communicate with him first and listen to his opinions. Isn't it all prepared to come to him after the Chinese New Year? ”

Zhao Changfeng thought for a moment and said, "Okay then." Teacher Zhou, Brother Yang, you can live in N City first, and I will go back to F County to find a way to contact Luo Chenglong. I will let you know as soon as there is news. ”

Out of the Great Wall Hotel, Zhao Changfeng made a call to Cheng Lutong, and Cheng Lutong said: "Since this is the case, I will ask Secretary Zhang to contact Luo Chenglong." ”

Back in County F, Secretary Zhang had already contacted Luo Chenglong and asked Zhao Changfeng to go directly to the legal service office to find Luo Chenglong.

Although Secretary Zhang did not say it explicitly, Luo Chenglong had been in the officialdom and became a fine figure, so he naturally knew that this case was the attention of the top leaders in the county. So as soon as Zhao Changfeng saw Luo Chenglong at the legal service office, Luo Chenglong was extremely enthusiastic.

After the greetings, Luo Chenglong asked Zhao Changfeng what he did, Zhao Changfeng smiled faintly, saying that he was a cadre who was helping the poor in F County, and he was reluctant to say more.

Luo Chenglong secretly said that his judgment was indeed not wrong, the young man in front of him must have a very good background in the city, because only such a person is indifferent when he talks about anything. On the contrary, those little people who are nothing will bluff when they talk about themselves, as if they are afraid that others will not know that he is a cadre sent by some big organs in the provincial capital.

Luo Chenglong asked about Yang Jiangchao's case and asked Zhao Changfeng to briefly introduce the situation. Zhao Changfeng introduced Yang Jiangchao's family situation, focusing on Xiaohui's condition. As for Yang Jiangchao's case, Zhao Changfeng said that he only knew that Yang Jiangchao seemed to have been arrested for some kind of corruption and bribery, and he didn't know the specific circumstances of the case.

Luo Chenglong's eyes narrowed, and Zhao Changfeng asked, "What is the relationship between Yang Jiangchao and you?" ”

Zhao Changfeng said: "Yang Jiangchao's lover was my homeroom teacher in high school. ”

Luo Chenglong laughed tacitly and said, "Okay, Xiao Zhao, let's go see Yang Jiangchao and talk about it." ”

When they arrived at the N Changcheng Hotel and saw Yang Jiangchao and Teacher Zhou, both of them were surprised and delighted, they didn't expect Zhao Changfeng to do things so quickly, and invited Luo Chenglong over within a few hours.

Luo Chenglong inquired carefully about Yang Jiangchao's case again, compared to Zhao Changfeng, Luo Chenglong asked very carefully. For example, when Yang Jiangchao accepted the project quality deposit, what did he say, and how did the other party say it, and several people were present at that time. Another example is how many times the money has been withheld from the business promotion fee of the scenic spot, roughly when it was deposited into the bank personal account, when was the last deposit into the bank, how much was the amount and so on.

After Luo Chenglong asked, he said to Yang Jiangchao and Teacher Zhou: "You two wait a minute, I will go out to discuss things with Xiao Zhao." ”

Outside, Luo Chenglong asked Zhao Changfeng to open another room, and Zhao Changfeng entered the room and closed the door, then said: "Xiao Zhao, this case is roughly clear." Although I haven't seen the case file yet, I have a good idea of the best and the worst. ”

Zhao Changfeng asked, "President Luo, what is the best result?" ”

"The best outcome is that the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate believes that Yangjiangchao has embezzled public funds, but it does not constitute a crime," Luo said. ”

Zhao Changfeng was very happy, nodded, and asked again, "What about the worst result?" ”

Luo Chenglong said: "After the trial, the court found that Yang Jiangchao was guilty of embezzlement and bribery, and the amount was huge, and he was sentenced to more than 20 years in prison, life imprisonment and even death!" ”

Zhao Changfeng was taken aback, is the legal boundary in China so big? It's the difference between heaven and earth.

"President Luo, if you are asked to represent this case, what will be the result?" Zhao Changfeng said.

Luo Chenglong said: "Xiao Zhao, this case is still more troublesome. The trouble lies in the case transferred by the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Provincial Public Prosecutor's Office. In any case, the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the County Procuratorate cannot fail to prosecute this kind of case, otherwise it will not be able to pass the hurdle of the higher-level leaders. Moreover, the rate of prosecution of criminal cases is also an important indicator for evaluating the work performance of the procuratorate. Therefore, in this link of the procuratorate, Yang Jiangchao will definitely be prosecuted. Unless someone from the provincial procuratorate speaks, the F County Procuratorate may not prosecute Yang Jiangchao. ”

Zhao Changfeng said: "In other words, the best result is hopeless on the side of the procuratorate in the first place?" ”

Luo Chenglong nodded and said: "If it weren't for the case transferred by the provincial procuratorate, the F County Procuratorate would still have the hope of being exempted from criminal prosecution or not prosecuting if it is considered not to constitute a crime." ”

Zhao Changfeng said: "Well, I understand. President Luo continued. ”

Luo Chenglong continued: "But what kind of crime will be prosecuted by the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate, there is still some room for maneuver. So the best outcome is that the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Procuratorate prosecuted Yang Jiangchao for embezzlement. In this way, the defense of the crime of embezzlement and the crime of accepting bribes should not be considered at the stage of trial in the court, because the crime of embezzlement of public funds is still easier to deal with than the crime of embezzlement and the crime of accepting bribes. Zhao Changfeng asked: "President Luo, what crime did the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the F County Procuratorate prosecute Yang Jiangchao, and the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Provincial Procuratorate did not interfere?" ”

Luo Chenglong said with a smile: "The Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Provincial Procuratorate is concerned about the issue of prosecution or non-prosecution. As long as this case is prosecuted, it means that the comrades below have done their work in place. As for what crime to prosecute, the Anti-Corruption Bureau of the Provincial Procuratorate has so many big and important cases to try, how can it pay attention to the details of the following small case tried in a different place? ”

Zhao Changfeng nodded and praised: "President Luo is an old horse who knows the way." ”

Luo Chenglong smiled and said modestly: "I have been working in the public security system for a long time, and everyone will know the mystery in the middle." ”

Then Luo Chenglong continued: "The case came to the court, because this is not a case supervised by the provincial court, so the work of the court system is not difficult. I synthesized what Yang Jiangchao said just now, if there are no other unexpected circumstances, the best result is that Luo Chenglong is convicted of embezzlement of public funds, but the circumstances are relatively minor and he is exempt from criminal punishment! ”

Zhao Changfeng said: "Are there any sequelae of such a punishment? Will there be something wrong with it? ”

Luo Chenglong laughed and said, "Xiao Zhao, I've been dealing with legal provisions all day long. Although the cases handled are not foolproof, even people in the public security and law system are difficult to find faults! ”
