Wu Zhuoxi ranked fourth, and he did not report directly, but played a monitoring recording first.

Looking at the thoughtful looks of the leaders, he turned off the recording and reported concisely: "The serious crime team of the Western Suburbs Branch was reminded by the Han investigator to investigate the hotel stay records of the suspect when he returned to China last year. It's a pity that the hotel monitoring is only kept for two months, and it can't grasp the first-hand situation. However, the suspect was generous, and he may have stayed in the United States for a long time and had a habit of tipping, which left a deep impression on the hotel waiter.

The hotel waiter had never seen him in contact with the victim, but he clearly remembered that a man in his fifties had gone to look for him. Because the inner ghost in the recording just now is fatter and has a black mole at the corner of his mouth, he can be recognized at a glance in the more than 20 photos of the group's senior executives taken out by Comrade Wang Siqiang. ”

The recording just now is very interesting, and it can be confirmed from their call that in order to maintain this cross-border merger and acquisition scam, the ghost and the suspect almost went bankrupt, and even had a dispute over follow-up expenses.

Director Peng and Director Chen glanced at each other, and said casually: "It's almost time for dinner, Comrade Yue Jian, please take the comrades to the restaurant below to have some food, and we will discuss with Lawyer Han and then arrive." ”

Deputy Director Gu immediately got up and said, "Yes!" ”

After listening to the report of the case, the leaders had a small meeting to decide the final jurisdiction of the case, and Ding Chengyou did not wait for Deputy Director Gu to speak, and beckoned Wang Siqiang and Jiang Yi out of the conference room. Wu Zhuoxi thought that he was not qualified to stay here, so he put down the pen and paper in his hand and followed.

The door was closed by the leaders of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Provincial Department who went out last, and there were only three people left in the huge conference room: Director Peng, Director Chen, and Han Jun.

Director Chen sighed with emotion: "Day and night, it's difficult to prevent thieves." Li Zaikun would not believe that the veteran who fought with him would actually eat inside and out, or he would not start, and it would be nearly 100 million US dollars. ”

"Chen Ju, this is also for a reason."

Han Jun closed his laptop and analyzed it carefully: "Generally, when a company goes public, many executives can get rich overnight. Donghua Group's cocoon silk business was packaged and listed, and only the family members headed by Li Zaikun benefited from it, and almost none of them who were not related by blood were touched, whether they were veterans or not.

According to the investigation of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, he has been dealt with by the public security department no less than ten times because of gathering people to gamble, and once he embezzled public funds. From this point of view, Li Zaikun is also good to him, although he was not entrusted with a heavy task, but he did not sweep him away. ”

"But he's still disgruntled."

Director Peng sighed lightly and said slowly: "Lawyer Han, with your strong assistance, the facts are basically clear, at least they can't run away from the fraud." Comrade Chen Bin, in view of the complexity of the case and the fact that it involves both China and the United States, there are many difficulties in collecting evidence and applying legal provisions.

I think it would be best to set up two task forces, one with the Jiangcheng City Bureau as the main body, to be responsible for the next arrest and domestic evidence collection. One is mainly composed of provincial departments and departments, which is responsible for coordinating with the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Supreme People's Court and the U.S. judiciary, and is responsible for the collection of evidence abroad and the application of relevant legal provisions. We have a two-pronged approach to make it an ironclad case. ”

The appearance of the provincial department is not ugly, at least half of it is reserved for the Jiangcheng City Bureau, how can Chen Bin not agree: "Director Peng is very thoughtful, this arrangement is the best, I have no opinion." ”

"Lawyer Han, what is your opinion?"

Han Jun was ridiculed, shook his head again and again, and said, "Director Peng, this is an internal affair of your public security system, what can I say." ”

Director Peng stared at him closely, and said with a serious face: "Xiao Han, there are no outsiders here, I will call you Xiao Han." I understand that without your assistance, these breakthroughs would not have been possible in this case, and the next actions will depend on you, and your opinion is very important. ”

"As Chen Ju said, you have thought it through, I have no opinion."

"Since there are no opinions, then it is decided."

Judging from the current situation, it is not a problem to arrest the suspects, and the key is to transfer them to the procuratorate for prosecution on what charges after the arrest. Because two countries were involved, the jurisdiction of the case was too vague, and there were no ready-made legal provisions to apply, and many evidence courts did not dare to take it lightly, finding that the fraud was reluctant, let alone the crime of intentional homicide, which was even less substantiated.

Director Peng weighed it and then said: "Xiao Han, the plea bargain you raised is very sensitive, and the railway transport court tried this method to close a case in the past, but it was later stopped by the higher authorities. So after the net is closed, we have to do the work, and you also have to help do the work, and we can't cook it into a pot of raw rice, so that a murder case that should have been revealed becomes an unsolved case. ”

This stumped Han Jun: "Director Peng, it's not that you don't know, I just registered my name in the Department of Justice, what do you want me to do with this job?" ”

"I'm talking about the province, Secretary Tian and Governor Yu, their opinions are very important."

Director Peng paused, and then emphasized: "Xiao Han, you are a professional, the same thing, the effect of saying it from your mouth and speaking it from our mouth is definitely different. Besides, you know the case best, and your words are convincing. ”

Han Ke didn't want to get involved in domestic judicial practice because of a case, and muttered: "Director Peng, Director Chen, can we take a detour, learn from the precedent of extradition of Lai Cxing, and make it clear to the higher authorities that this case is very troublesome, and if we insist on applying the death penalty, it will bring a series of diplomatic disputes." If the signing ceremony is held abroad, and there is not even a chance of arrest, even if the US Department of Justice is willing to assist, the end result will be the same, or even worse than we expected. ”

In such a transnational fraud case, the Provincial Public Security Department would like to have a perfect cooperation with the US judicial organs, but it can only think about it.

The differences in the laws of the two countries dictate that a series of problems arise in practice, and if it were to be reported now, the US law enforcement agencies would have indisputable jurisdiction over the majority of the fraud in the United States, and would not hesitate to prosecute suspects as long as the evidence is sufficient.

As you can imagine, they will quickly close the case through a plea bargain, leaving the suspect in a prison in the United States for a few years before being deported. The credibility of the country is more important than anything else, and there is no way to hide anything when a case like this is reported, considering that the suspect is also suspected of murder in China, and he may be sentenced to death after being repatriated to China, and he will be in a dilemma, and in the end, he will be thrown into a prison at the immigration bureau and ignored.

Director Peng obviously didn't want to see this result, so he pondered for a moment, raised his head and said, "Xiao Han, give me an explanation, how sure are you that you can make him confess?" ”

"Trying to get his wife and children to the United States, he is not the kind of ruthless and unrighteous person, at least not for his family. As long as he promises not to sentence him to death, I think he should be seven or eight points sure. ”

Using his wife and children to coerce the suspect to confess, Han Jun didn't want to do this in his heart, and added: "Actually, we don't necessarily have to put our eggs in one basket, there is no essential difference between the delivery of acceptance bills and the payment of letters of credit, and it is completely possible to set up financial fraud, so that he knows that even if he does not admit guilt, he may be sentenced to death." ”

Chen Bin nodded and said, "Director Peng, this is a line of thought. Besides, it is impossible for the inner ghost to be ignorant of killing people and destroying mouths, as long as the action is fast enough to prevent them from having the opportunity to collude, there is still a lot of hope for the inner ghost as a breakthrough. ”

Without waiting for Director Peng to speak, Han Jun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Director Chen, don't forget that he is a peer with me, even more powerful than me, and has a domestic lawyer's license." Since he dared to kill someone, he would not give the inner ghost a chance to testify against him, and in fact, he did not leave much evidence. ”

"Xiao Han is right, you can't pin all your hopes on the inner ghost. He has such a sensitive identity and so many clients and friends in the United States, and the devil knows how controversial it will be to convict him based on confessions and circumstantial evidence. If those anti-China politicians in the United States know about it, they may be hyped up into some kind of human-rights incident, and we must take all aspects into consideration. ”

"So what are we going to do?"

Director Peng weighed it again, and said categorically: "First find ways to turn fraud into an iron case, and as for intentional homicide, we will strive for it." I think the higher authorities should be able to take into account the complexity of the case, and like Xiao Han said, they will always come up with a compromise solution. ”

When it comes to murders, and when it comes to transnational fraud with such a huge amount of money, you have to eat raw rice.

The three of you studied word by word for a long time, and finally came up with a set of plans and a set of backup plans. After talking about business, Director Peng asked half-jokingly: "Xiao Han, you have a hand in solving the case, are you interested in being transferred to the Public Security Department?" ”

"Director Peng, you know, for me, transferring to the Public Security Department is the same as being in the Department of Justice. Because no matter where Director Yan is transferred, he will not let me go, as long as he makes a phone call, I will be on call. ”

"Solving four homicides in two months may not be able to do it by criminal investigation experts from the Ministry of Public Security. Xiao Han, I really hope that you can be transferred to the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Provincial Department to help us investigate those backlog cases. ”

"It should be four and a half!"

Chen Bin lost no time in adding: "Director Peng, do you know, Lawyer Han inadvertently found a fallen corpse in the funeral home in the western suburbs some time ago, and the cause of death was suspicious, which reminded our city bureau that I didn't know if I didn't investigate, and there was a problem after a check, and the two suspects had been arrested, and confessed to the crime." ”

"Really?"

"Yes, his sharp eyes are admired even by the most experienced forensic doctor in our city bureau."

These days, patronizing the investigation of the merger and acquisition case of Donghua Group, Han Junzhen didn't know that the fall case had been solved, and asked curiously: "Chen Ju, why did those two suspects kill people?" ”

To his and Director Peng's surprise, Director Chen actually shook his head and said, "Lawyer Han, I can't hide it, Wu Zhuoxi told me and said, begged and begged, and I can't disclose the specific facts of the case to you." But I can assure you that we will neither spare the bad guys, nor do we wronged the good guys. ”

Thinking of the clothes of the two suspects, and thinking of the fact that the victim was a contractor before his death, Han Jundai reacted like an empowerment, and couldn't help but sigh: "I think I know why they pushed the deceased downstairs." This Wu Zhuoxi, my psychological tolerance is not as unbearable as he thought. But then again, it's better not to know than to know. ”

Director Peng didn't know why, and asked with a puzzled expression: "Director Chen, Xiao Han, what kind of dumb riddle are you two fighting?" ”

"The victim was a contractor, and the two suspects were small contractors from the countryside, who maliciously owed more than 2 million yuan to others for the project, which dragged on for several years, and made them bankrupt. It is said that the suspect confessed that it was a dispute between the two parties and he unintentionally pushed him downstairs during the pushing, after all, if the money dies and does not go back, it is also not good for them. Whether it is intentional homicide or negligent death depends on whether the court accepts their confessions. ”

If the suspect is sentenced to death, he will definitely feel very guilty, Director Peng patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Xiao Han, sympathy is sympathy, and the law is the law." You didn't do anything wrong, after all, no matter how bad the victim is, he will not be guilty of death, and since they have done it, they will be responsible for their actions and will be punished by the law. ”

"If I had a choice, I would have pretended not to know anything."

Director Peng shook his head and said meaningfully: "The problem is that there are no ifs, and even if there is a choice, I believe you will not really pretend that you don't know anything." ”
