Chapter VIII: Exchange of Case Facts
The girl stroked the hair in front of her forehead, and continued to say in a gentle tone: "Hello Ye Feng, let me introduce myself first, my name is Qin Yan, Qin Shihuang's Qin, Yan with a smile, I am a lawyer at Mingzhu Zhicheng Law Firm, and I am also the boss of this law firm, I am entrusted to be in charge of your case, I came to see you today, just to have a preliminary understanding of the situation." ”
Ye Feng asked, "Did my co-worker entrust you here?" ”
Qin Yan nodded and said: "Well, yesterday more than 20 migrant workers went to my office and collectively asked to see me, and one of the migrant workers' eldest brother even knelt down for me in public, I felt very shocked and curious, so I agreed to their request and accepted the case, the client is called Liu Tiezhu, and the client is you, they briefly told me about you, but they don't know the specific situation." ”
Listening to Qin Yan's words, Ye Feng was very moved in his heart, Ye Feng knew that he owed Zhu Zi and a group of workers an adult invitation, this favor, he would definitely pay it back in the future, and he also believed that he would definitely have the opportunity to pay it back.
Qin Yan pointed to the middle-aged man behind him and continued: "Ye Feng, he is my assistant, his name is Wang Dong, and he is also a lawyer, come with me this time, he is mainly responsible for recording, you can trust him." ”
Ye Feng looked at Wang Dong and saw that he took out a pen and notebook, and also took out a voice recorder.
"Ye Feng, I have learned from the police station that your case has been investigated and collected, and the police station has now prosecuted you, so I can make an appointment with you alone, after this appointment, the police may quickly transfer you to the detention center, and it will not be more than a month and a half within a month, and your case will be tried for the first time, I came over today, the most important thing is to listen to you tell you in detail about the detailed process before and after the case, the more detailed the better, it is best to explain all the details clearly, This will be beneficial for me to defend you in the future when I go to court. ”
Qin Yan's words Ye Feng actually didn't care, what Ye Feng wanted to know most urgently now was his case, how long it would take from the prosecution, the trial to the zuihou trial results, Ye Feng didn't know anything about this related knowledge, this is the only reason why he asked Zhuzi to help hire a lawyer, Ye Feng needs to know how long this process takes, if it is long enough, then it is best, if the time is fast, he needs a lawyer to help him delay time, So he eagerly asked Qin Yan a question: "Lawyer Qin, I just want to ask you now, how long will it take for my case, according to the normal procedure, to announce the final result?" ”
Qin Yan frowned, obviously she didn't expect Ye Feng to suddenly ask such a question, but she still answered Ye Feng very professionally: "At this stage, the evidence in your case is very sufficient, and I also wonder how fast the process of the police prosecuting you, this is a little unfavorable to you, but after the court has a result, if you file a complaint and protest, then the case will be handed over to the higher court for retrial, which will take a long time." ”
Ye Feng knew that the reason why the police prosecuted him so quickly was because Liu Yong was eager to convict and sentence him as soon as possible.
At this time, Ye Feng interjected and asked, "If the final trial results in my death sentence, will it be executed immediately?" ”
Qin Yan smiled and said: "Of course, it is impossible to execute immediately, the execution of the death penalty is a very serious matter, even after the final trial is sentenced to death, the execution of the death penalty still needs to be approved by the Supreme Court, generally the Supreme Court issues a notice of decision to carry out the death penalty immediately, and the president of the Supreme Court issues a death penalty order, sends it to the original High Court or Intermediate Court, and then delivers it for execution within 7 days, and if the execution is not completed after 7 days, the death penalty order must be re-issued, in short, the process is very rigorous."
Hearing Qin Yan say this, Ye Feng was greatly relieved in his heart, what he needed most now was time, and he could learn from Qin Yan, a professional lawyer, that this process would take a long time, and Ye Feng felt that this was the most beneficial thing for him.
Ye Feng even had an idea, knowing that this was the case, he actually didn't need to let the pillar help hire a lawyer at all, just let the pillar help him consult, but since Qin Yan was already here, he was embarrassed to regret it again.
Next, Qin Yan inquired in detail about the whole process of Ye Feng's case, and Ye Feng was also very cooperative and truthfully answered, including how Ye Feng met Liu Meimei, and how he had a crush on her and had feelings for her, as well as every detail of Liu Meimei and Liu Yong's collusion to frame Ye Feng, as well as Liu Yong's rampant words when he framed Ye Feng, Ye Feng told Qin Yan all of them.
Although Ye Feng already has his own way to overturn the case and resolve his grievances for himself, he will not let go of this opportunity if he can have one more channel to expose the true faces of Liu Meimei and Liu Yong.
After listening to Ye Feng's narration, Qin Yan's expression looked very serious, and after a while, she asked: "Ye Feng, as your defense lawyer, you must be based on trust, so what you said, I believe it is true from a professional perspective, this is also the basic duty and ethics of a lawyer, but I must tell you that your words are completely contrary to the investigation records and evidence of the police, and even involve the police knowing the law and breaking the law, this nature is very serious, do you understand?" ”
Ye Feng nodded and said: "I understand, you can agree to be my lawyer, I thank you, but I want to make a request to you now that you may not accept, I ask you to be my lawyer, there is only one purpose, that is, I hope you will help me delay time, and the progress of the trial will be delayed as long as possible, you may not understand what I say, but this is my only request, to be honest, I will tell you the truth of the case, I don't hope you can overturn the case for me, I just hope that this truth is not just me who knows." ”
Qin Yan's face became a little ugly, Ye Feng could feel that his words just now made Qin Yan a little unhappy, and he compared his heart to his heart, if he was a lawyer, he would also be very unhappy when he heard the object of his defense say such things, trust is on both sides, and his own words would obviously make Qin Yan think that he didn't trust her.
Qin Yan was stunned for a long time before she spoke: "Ye Feng, in fact, I understand your feelings, anyone in a situation like yours believes that there will be such a reaction from you, you will be afraid, you will be nervous, you will be cranky, and even many people are not as good as you, but I still hope that you can keep your sanity, before the final result of the case, you still have hope, at least with my efforts, you may be commuted, according to the facts of the case you told before, at least a little bit is beneficial to you, that police officer can destroy the surveillance about him, But he must not destroy the surveillance about you, this is one of the most important chains of evidence by the police, according to what you said, you were called to the villa by Liu Meimei in the middle of the night, there are surveillance videos, there are phone records, plus I will ask the forensic doctor to issue a detailed forensic report, and the time of death of the deceased for a detailed comparison, maybe you can find evidence in your favor. ”
Ye Feng thought about it and felt that Qin Yan's words were not unreasonable, it took him more than twenty minutes to walk from the shed to Liu Meimei's house, and it also took time to commit murder, but in fact, the owner of the villa had died long before he went to the villa, if the forensic doctor could provide a true autopsy report, maybe Qin Yan could really help him find evidence in his favor.
However, Ye Feng was also a little worried, since Qin Yan could think of it, then Liu Yong could also think of this, if Liu Yong used his connections and power to bribe the forensic doctor and tamper with the forensic report, then the evidence in his favor would probably be completely destroyed before Qin Yan went to verify it.
Therefore, after thinking about it carefully, Ye Feng still felt that he could not rely on anyone, let alone have any illusions about the so-called justice of this society, he could only rely on himself.
But for Qin Yan's serious and professional attitude, Ye Feng couldn't say anything, so he could only nod at the moment, expressing his willingness to cooperate with Qin Yan to investigate, and express and state this point accordingly at the first court session.
This time, Qin Yan was more satisfied with Ye Feng's attitude, smiled, and said: "Ye Feng, then I will start to prepare, I will conduct a detailed investigation of everyone involved in the case, you don't have to think too much, before the trial, I will make an appointment with you again, I hope I can bring you good news at that time." ”
Ye Feng was noncommittal, just smiled, got up and planned to leave, when he walked to the door, Ye Feng suddenly had an impulse in his heart, turned back again, and said to Qin Yan: "Lawyer Qin, do you believe in karma, don't you believe that God has eyes, if I say, maybe Liu Yong and Liu Meimei will one day take the initiative to turn themselves in and admit that they are the real murderers, will you believe it?" ”
Qin Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Ye Feng, I want to tell you that I believe that good people have good rewards, and evil people have evil rewards, but I believe in law and evidence more. ”
Ye Feng had already expected Qin Yan's answer, and he didn't want to say anything more at the moment, so he bowed to her very solemnly, turned around and walked out.
