Chapter 260: Passive
As the sun set, it was still the Chinese-style teahouse courtyard, Ling Li and Zhu Jinchuan were sitting at one side of the long table, and opposite was Tang Aoxue's mother, Chen Rong.
It's been half an hour, and the conversation hasn't gotten to the bottom of the matter.
Ling Li and Zhu Jinchuan glanced at each other, and in the latter's encouraging eyes, they opened their mouths first.
"Auntie, the results of my research on the case these days are consistent with your guess." Ling Li said, "I also think that Tang Aoxue fell in love in the last days before her disappearance." ”
"Really?" Chen Rong had a pleased smile on her face, "I said it must be like this." ”
Ling Li bit her lower lip and asked the next question: "Then Auntie, judging from your understanding of Tang Aoxue, what kind of person do you think she will like?" ”
Chen Rong's brows furrowed, then her eyes turned to the window and fell silent.
Ling Li waited for her for a few minutes, but before she heard her reply, she was about to speak, but she was attracted by a note that Zhu Jinchuan gently moved in front of her.
On it is a line of pen words: call the victim Xiaoxue, don't call her name.
Ling Li turned her head slightly sideways, and nodded at Zhu Jinchuan, who was looking down in concentration.
Zhu Jinchuan came back a day ago. After the case that he represented was over to the Supreme People's Court, he immediately booked a temporary air ticket, called Ling Li before getting on the plane and asked her to wait for him to come back, and arrived in the capital at ten o'clock in the evening, and summoned Lu Xiaoxiao and Ma Lao to discuss the matter of Tang Aoxue's case overnight.
Yu Wenzhong's every move, he actually knew all along, but he knew Yu Wenzhong's personality better.
In short, if you go too far and taste the sweetness, you will miss something that should be a professional instinct.
For example, regarding the fact that Ling Li is the lawyer representing the victim's side.
Yu Wenzhong forgot that Ling Li, as a lawyer, is also qualified to make trouble, and is also qualified to submit insufficient evidence to continue the investigation, but under normal circumstances, no one will apply, because he knows that after the two processes of the police and the procuratorate, as the victim's lawyer whose rights are greatly restricted and basically belongs to Xiao Transparent, even if all difficulties are eliminated, there will basically be no gain.
But then again, in the case that the procuratorate needs the help of the victim's lawyer, I am afraid that it is very easy.
So, the day after Zhu Jinchuan learned of these things that had happened in the capital, he said that he would apply to the public security organs when he went back to the capital, asking the public security organs to interrogate the defendant again.
I didn't expect anything to come out of the arraignment, it just delayed the trial.
Yu Wenzhong is full of ambition to think about how to operate to expand the impact, and if the case drags on and on, it will obviously increase the cost of his representation of the defendant.
As soon as these words were released, Yu Wenzhong really didn't dare to make any more trouble, and turned the spearhead away from Ling Li and pointed to the second target: the collegial panel.
Ling Li knew from Tian Zhengyan that in ordinary civil litigation, when one party to the litigation wants to deliberately delay the litigation time, it is a common means to raise jurisdictional objections and apply for the recusal of the judge, but she did not expect to hear about applying for the recusal of the collegial panel in criminal proceedings.
It is said that Yu Wenzhong's application for recusal was sprinkled with more than a dozen pages, one by one explaining the reasons why he applied for the recusal of the entire collegial panel.
First of all, the tutor of the president of the Yudu Intermediate People's Court, on academic issues, once expressed his views on Yu Wenzhong's representation of unjust, false and wrongful cases to enhance his popularity. Naturally, the view is against the attack.
Yu Wenzhong believes that the supervisor's views will affect the students, and the dean's views will affect the judges, thus causing the collegial panel to be biased against him as a whole.
Secondly, because Yu Wenzhong himself represented a case tried by the Rudu Intermediate People's Court and successfully acquitted a defendant, one of the current members of the collegial panel used to serve as a member of the collegial panel in that case. Supposedly, this should have been beneficial to him, but Yu Wenzhong did not know where he learned about the minority opinion that the judge had objected to during the original collegial discussion. Yu Wenzhong believes that this judge will apply for recusal because the previous case was biased against this case.
Finally, he asked the current collegial panel to recuse itself as a whole, and also asked the High Court to designate the case to another intermediate court for first instance.
This can be said to be very awesome.
None of them is a statutory reason for recusal, and if such a thing is submitted to the court, there will only be one result, that is, the recusal application is rejected in accordance with the law.
He had already offended the entire court before the trial, and Yu Wenzhong's move was not unhigh-profile, and of course it was in an uproar on the same day.
Although the mainstream media will not pay attention to such a trivial matter, and out of censorship, they will not let a controversial case that has not yet been decided appear in the newspapers, but what self-media and what forum rule of law APP have begun to hype up.
The papers of the three collegial panel members on what cases they had tried and what opinions they had expressed were picked up over and over again, and even the things they had said and done when they were in school were all pasted everywhere by the uncles of "my classmates" and "my teachers".
The relevant departments quickly organized the deletion of the post, but it still couldn't resist the fact that the people who were interested had already recorded it.
Being able to offend the political and legal departments in such a high-profile manner is not afraid of being held against him, on the one hand, because Yu Wenzhong is so confident that with his fame, no one dares to risk the world's disapproval to move him casually, and on the other hand, it also reflects Yu Wenzhong's confidence in the outcome of this case.
Today is different from the past, in fact, in such a major and suspicious case, Yu Wenzhong knows that the court is cautious, even if it is not inclined to him, it cannot be tilted towards Ling Li's side.
His expansion of influence in this way is nothing more than a lump of in front of you, which can't make you look good, and can disgust you.
"This person takes the law as his profession, but he does not believe in the judicial organs, does not believe in judicial fairness, and uses his own actions to disrupt judicial justice, and he is eager to open a court by himself. The reason why our rule of law has a long way to go, apart from the problems left over from historical problems and institutional problems, is that such people who play with the law for their own selfish desires have the most counterproductive effects. ”
That night, Zhu Jinchuan's evaluation of Yu Wenzhong can be said to be very objective.
And Ma Lao was even more angry, and his voice was deafening when he slapped the table: "Now these people are becoming more and more disagreeable, and our lawyer group is so famous by such a lawsuit." If you use such indiscriminate means again and again, something will happen sooner or later! ”
At that time, Lu Xiaoxiao smiled and said nothing, and compared with Ling Li under the table, proudly showing that her master was so imposing and righteous.
Zhu Jinchuan sneered, and his voice did not carry a trace of fireworks: "It's not too late, it's not too early, it's just right now." ”
After speaking, he and Ma Lao glanced at each other silently, there seemed to be a lot of drama in their expressions, but Ling Li couldn't understand it.
After staying up all night, Ling Li was still a little dizzy, and at this time she shook her head, driving Zhu Jinchuan and Ma Lao's words out of her mind that they wanted to support her the night before, and her thoughts returned to the current problem.
They had to plan behind the scenes to deal with Yu Wenzhong's tricks, and the only request they made to Ling Li was to re-read the file and find new evidence, and they could not let go of any clues, and questioning Chen Rong was naturally within the scope of re-collecting evidence.
Regarding the question that Ling Li raised before, Chen Rong pondered for several minutes, and finally sighed: "I really don't have a clue, she hasn't mentioned it to me at all." ”
There was some regret in her eyes, and that sad look made the corners of Ling Li's eyes sour.
After that, Ling Li pondered for a while, and asked Chen Rong cautiously: "So, is it possible that Xiaoxue is in love with Zheng Qijie?" ”
This is also something she has been thinking about for a long time.
On the surface, Tang Aoxue and Zheng Qijie have no intersection at all, but Zheng Qijie can attack her and keep two arms, but I am afraid that the matter is not as simple as randomly choosing the target of the crime.
Therefore, Ling Li heard Chen Rong say that Tang Aoxue was careful when she was in love, and she had been looking for the close connection between the defendant and the victim, but unfortunately it was unsuccessful.
No matter from the perspective of human or physical evidence, Ling Li's speculation is unreasonable.
Ling Li was a little disappointed, but Chen Rong suddenly remembered something, took out a crumpled notebook from her bag, lowered her head and flipped through it.
Finally, she spread out one of the pages and pointed to a row of numbers that seemed to be a phone number: "This is the contact information of Xiaoxue's former mentor, who has been guiding Xiaoxue from the beginning of the master's degree to staying in school, maybe you don't know anything, you can ask." ”
Ling Li looked at the three words "Huang Zhicong" written crookedly on the notebook, and hurriedly took a photo with her mobile phone.
Chen Rong took back the notebook, and seemed to fall into memories again, chattering about some past events between Tang Aoxue and that Teacher Huang, but her eyes drifted farther and farther, and her attention was no longer on the two lawyers in front of her.
"Teacher Huang is really good to Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue doesn't have much time to come back, and I am very grateful to mention Teacher Huang occasionally. She said that she stayed in school back then, and the competition was very strong, if it wasn't for Teacher Huang's hard work, she might not have her turn. ”
When Chen Rong said this, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Ling Li seriously: "Lawyer Ling, the more I talk about it, the more I think you should go to Teacher Huang, there are some things she doesn't like to say to my mother, the teacher is highly educated, maybe she can really find something." ”
Ling Li saw the hope in Chen Rong's eyes, and she was in a trance for a while.
She was stunned for a few more seconds, and suddenly the Lingtai was a little clear.
Could it be that Tang Aoxue directed repeatedly in WeChat, and forbidden love refers to this?
She hurriedly asked, "How old is this Teacher Huang?" Are you married? ”
Chen Rong's tone of course: "The person who can be a professor must be not young, it seems that he is in his forties, married and has two children, and it is said that the relationship between husband and wife is also very good." ”
Then, she showed a suspicious expression and asked Ling Li, "What?" What's the problem? ”
Ling Li hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's nothing, we'll contact him." ”
After sending Chen Rong into a taxi, Zhu Jinchuan took Ling Li to pick up the car a few hundred meters away from the tea garden.
Ling Li was still thinking about Huang Zhicong.
Since he is a mentor, he must not be young, and judging from the words and sentences in Tang Aoxue's circle of friends, will the so-called forbidden love refer to this?
recalls the opportunity that Ling Ling once won to work in the Affiliated Hospital of Funan University through an improper relationship with a certain professor......
She couldn't help but glance at Zhu Jinchuan and realized that he was also looking at her.
The two looked at each other, and they all had tacit expressions on each other, but Zhu Jinchuan didn't mean to speak first.
Ling Li bit her lip, the topic made her a little difficult to speak, but she finally told him her reasoning: "Master, this Huang Zhicong may really be the key person." ”
Zhu Jinchuan nodded slightly, looked sideways at the figure next to him who was more than half a head shorter than himself, and suddenly asked, "Why did you cut your hair?" ”
