Chapter 70: Revelation
Nan Zhiyi calmly picked up the water glass: "Think about what you are going to say in a while, I won't do such an undisciplined and stupid thing." ”
Ling Li swallowed the questions in her stomach, waited silently, and quietly took out her mobile phone, and Baidu asked what is the name of the dean of the Provincial High Court, so as not to know what other people's surnames are when you see the Buddha for a while.
When she came out with the words "Nanzhijun" in Baidu, her eyes suddenly widened. Nan Zhijun and Nan Zhiyi, this rare surname, plus the same elegant name, the relationship between these two is about to come out.
Ten minutes later, with the click of the door control, a middle-aged man in his forties slowly walked in and stood in front of Ling Li with some scrutiny in his eyes.
Ling Li was a little nervous, her hands and feet were stiff, and she only reflexively bounced up from the sofa, but her mouth stammered and she didn't know what to say.
The man looked at her a few times, turned his head to look at Nan Zhiyi, and said softly: "Xiao Yi, you are here." ”
Nan Zhiyi didn't stand up, he still sat down, and only hung his head and said, "I came to you this time because I need your help with something." ”
Nan Zhijun squinted slightly, his eyes seemed to have a faint flash, and the next second was a somewhat hoarse voice: "What's the matter, you say." If I can help you, I will help. ”
Nan Zhiyi laughed lightly, but his voice was cold: "This matter is very simple, it only needs a word from you, Dean Nan." ”
The way the two brothers talked, Rao was as dull as Ling Li, and he also reacted as if their relationship was not so harmonious.
She was still in a daze, and suddenly Nan Zhiyi looked at her and said, "Say it quickly, are you stupid?" ”
Ling Li remembered the purpose of this trip for a few seconds, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, it's nothing, it's nothing." ”
Nanzhi's hateful voice sounded behind him: "Fan girl, if you miss this opportunity, your case may not have a chance, since there are channels, why don't you say it?" ”
Ling Li was still hesitating, but it was Nan Zhijun who stretched out his hand and motioned for her to sit in the chair in front of the desk, and spoke first: "Listen to Xiao Yi, you are a lawyer, right?" If there is a case that needs to be reflected, we welcome supervision from a lawyer. ”
Ling Li looked at Nan Zhiyi, who was holding his arms and hanging his head, and then looked at Nan Zhijun, and finally sat down on the chair, facing Nan Zhijun behind the wide desk, and talked about the beginning and end of Qin Xinghai's case.
She briefly talked about the situation of the first and second trials, as well as the current difficulties faced in the retrial, and finally, talked about her views on procedural justice and substantive justice.
After hearing this, Nan Zhijun frowned, and his eyes, which were still gentle just now, suddenly became cold and stern, making Ling Li's back a little cold.
When she talked about the case in a hurry just now, she didn't pay much attention to it because of her mental concentration, but now that she calmed down, she found that the aura of a person like Nan Zhijun who had been in the top position for a long time was completely out of her mind as a rookie lawyer.
After a while, Nan Zhijun spoke, with a hint of displeasure in his voice: "I know about this case, and when it entered the retrial procedure, it was also the resolution of the criminal special committee of the court. It's just that the small actions of the lawyer and the procuratorate in this case, and the methods you use to go back and forth, are really a bit unkind and violate professional ethics. ”
Ling Li lowered his head when he said it, and after a few seconds, Nan Zhijun sighed softly, and his voice softened: "I don't know about the difficulty of your lawyer's practice. However, in terms of the handling of cases, even if I am the president, I cannot interfere with the judge's independent handling of the case. Therefore, I cannot express any opinion on how the judge will make a judgment and how to grasp the sentence, unless he submits it to me through the adjudication committee system. ”
Nan Zhijun's bland words without any emotion made her sigh and feel a little sad.
The president does not interfere in the handling of cases by judges, which is a good thing for the process of building a society under the rule of law; But for the case, the last way for her to make efforts was also blocked.
Ling Li lowered her head in disappointment, not knowing what to say, Nan Zhiyi floated over from afar: "Dean Nan, you are really the image of Wei Guangzheng at any time, and you are very deep in the play." ”
His heart-piercing words made Nan Zhijun's face change slightly, but he didn't pay attention to him, was silent for a few seconds, and then said to Ling Li: "I think you probably have some obsession with the importance of substantive justice and procedural justice, but in this case, this is itself a false proposition. ”
Ling Li raised his head, a little incomprehensible to such a statement, Nan Zhijun smiled slightly: "You have probably been starting from the procedure, defense skills, and the direction of interfering with the judge's judgment, but is it possible to ignore the most basic issues?" ”
His words made Ling Li thoughtful, and carefully recalled the experience of handling the case, as if he had really said it to Nan Zhijun.
Seeing that she seemed to be listening, Nan Zhijun continued: "Your master probably told you that it is not a lawyer's duty to pursue the truth of a case, but sometimes, the process of your practice will inevitably bring the case closer and closer to the truth. If you are convinced that there is something else hidden in the case, then there must be a key point in the chain of evidence that seems to be tight, but you have not yet discovered it. ”
Ling Li nodded, and was about to answer, but Nan Zhiyi, who was nesting on the sofa, started the mocking mode again: "Dean Nan, you are really unparalleled in your eloquence, and you can easily transfer the contradictions, and attribute the rigidity of the system to the incompetence of the other party. Didn't you say that a gentleman can't be strong if he doesn't force others? Sure enough, the hypocrites became hypocritical and invincible in the world. ”
After speaking, he didn't care about Nan Zhijun's reaction, stood up and walked up, pulled Ling Li up and left.
Ling Li was pulled by him and almost fell, and walked far away, looking back at the figure in the door in a hurry.
Catching up with her gaze, Nan Zhijun nodded slightly, then turned around, leaving her with a somewhat lonely back.
When she went back to the taxi, Ling Li's head was a completely different performance from Nan Zhiyi and usual, and a long time it was Nan Zhijun's words to her, and her mood was a little complicated for a while.
Nan Zhijun and Nan Zhiyi, these two seem to be a little incompatible. Moreover, it seems that Nan Zhijun is the one who is normal and forbearing, but Nan Zhiyi is always outspoken and tense, like an ignorant child in the rebellious period.
Ling Li silently slandered Nan Zhiyi that he was thirty years old and had not yet passed puberty, and looked sideways at the corners of his mouth with a gloomy face, as if he was not in a good mood, so he didn't dare to speak to provoke him.
Nan Zhiyi hugged his arm angrily: "Don't peek at me, you can't pretend to be too good, there are nails in your eyes, and it hurts me to look at it." ”
Ling Li hurriedly lowered her head to hide her panic, and said an honest "oh" in her mouth.
Nan Zhiyi didn't intend to let her go easily, and then said: "He is my brother, dear, but I have basically had little contact with him over the years." ”
Ling Li thought that her guess was indeed correct, these two were indeed brothers. Although Nan Zhiyi is obviously much taller, judging from their appearance, the two are at least seven points alike.
It's just that Nan Zhijun's calm and majestic appearance is too different from Nan Zhiyi's temperament, which are really two extreme versions.
She was still thinking silently, but Nan Zhiyi frowned again, still talking to herself: "You are really annoying." Well, don't look at what he says more sanctimoniously than he sings, in fact, what he did was outrageous, and I had already broken off my brotherly relationship with him. ”
Ling Li puffed out his eyes and opened his mouth for a long time and couldn't make a sound, speechless by his unreasonableness.
After a while, he finally regained his ability to speak, and strongly expressed his dissatisfaction: "What do you call me annoying, I didn't even ask how the relationship between you and your brother is like and why is this?" You've always been playing on yourself, okay? ”
Nan Zhiyi sneered lightly: "Your eyes are full of question marks, and you look like you want to say something and stop, I won't say it again, I'm afraid it's a drama with millions of words in your head." ”
Ling Li was planted by him with a big black pot, and she was so aggrieved that only the word "I" popped out of her mouth, and she was powerless to refute it.
On second thought, well, she was actually a little curious about the relationship between their brothers, so she was not wronged, so she just gave up.
Sending Ling Li back to the downstairs of the office, Nan Zhiyi waved at her from the car window, and poked his head out with some regret on his face: "I was supposed to take you to try your luck, but that person's face was sour and hard, he said not to help, even if I knelt down and begged him, this is the result." Don't blame me for not being able to help. ”
Although Ling Li was a little regretful and returned in vain, she also smiled and thanked him solemnly: "Thank you, Teacher Nan." ”
Nan Zhiyi touched his nose, with an uncomfortable expression on his face, his eyes glanced to the side, and said sullenly, "I'm leaving." ”
Watching the car go away, Ling Li sighed slightly and silently turned around and went upstairs.
Back in the office, Zhu Jinchuan was still not in the office, and it seemed that he was still running around for the case. Ling Li first spent an afternoon reviewing the case, and then looked up the case on the Internet, but whether it was to re-browse the file or try to solve the current problem procedurally, it was to no avail.
She only felt upset, she easily stayed up until six o'clock, with low air pressure hovering above her head, sighing all the way home.
Even if she is used to losing, this case is different from the past.
Judging from the results of the court's collection of evidence, Zhu Jinchuan's previous inference was completely correct. Qin Xinghai is not the real murderer, the most likely person to commit the crime is the father of the Qin family who has died in the case.
However, there was no evidence that could be admissible by the court to prove this, which made her feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
She suddenly understood why Zhu Jinchuan had put so much effort into this case with little profit. Modern people rely on mobile phones, and they feel uncomfortable if they don't look at it for a day, and if they lose their mobile phones, it's like losing their souls.
What about the freedom that is lost? Seeing innocent people trapped in that side of the world, and they can't help themselves what clothes to wear and what hairstyle they have, what fun is there at all?
helped in his uncle's shop, and when it was close to nine o'clock in the evening, Ling Li had dinner.
When she picked up the white rice, Ling Li suddenly realized that she hadn't even eaten lunch today. However, she still has no appetite, even if her favorite garlic sprouts and rape sprouts are on the table, she has no taste in her mouth.
