045 Xie Lao
Everyone is curious about the truth.
Everyone is also making up the truth.
One post after another, interviews appeared, and the so-called truth continued to ferment under the spotlight of the media.
Huo Ran's side has not yet received any usable information except for Jiang Hanting's confession.
Zhou Zhengu's family was interviewed by the media, Zhou Zhengu's social status is very high, he is a scholarly family, a professor at a famous school, and his academic achievements are not low.
He is slightly chubby, amiable-looking, wears glasses, and has a sven look, which is very pleasing at a glance.
Zhou Zhengu's father is also a professor at T University, but he has long since retired, and he faces the camera, his eyes are a little red, but he remains calm.
The reporter asked, "Can you tell us what happened that night?" ”
"After dinner that night, Zhengu wrote a paper in the study for a long time, because he accepted the invitation of the core journal and was in the middle of an academic discussion; Then he took a phone call and he said he was going to the bar to pick up a graduate student, who was his student, drunk and stuck in the bar. Zhengu has a good relationship with graduate students on weekdays, and he is also a teacher and friend. ”
"What time is it?"
"It should be between 9:30 and 10:00, because the legal program I'm watching is almost over."
"Is a graduate student a boy?"
"Yes."
"What time did the police notify you?"
"At around 11:40, the police informed us that Zhengu was suspected of drug use and suddenly became unwell during the process of bringing it back to the public security organ for review. Around 12:10 we arrived at the hospital. At around 1 o'clock, we were notified that the rescue was ineffective and died. ”
The reporter asked: "Have you seen Zhou Zhengu's body?" ”
"See, in the morgue, he has bruises on his body and has stopped breathing." The bloodshot in Zhou's father's eyes slowly crawled over, "As family members, we must make Zhengu clear, we also have many doubts, and we hope the police will answer us." First, how did the bruises on Zhengu's body come about; second, the specific cause of Zhengu's death; Third, is there any evidence that Zhengu is taking drugs, Zhengu will participate in the physical examination of school teachers and staff every year and is in good health, but suddenly said that he was taking drugs; Fourth, Zhengu was a student who went to pick him up, and the student said that after Zhengu picked him up, he went to the toilet to vomit, and the teacher was waiting for him outside the toilet, but he didn't know why he was suddenly said by the police to be a drug addict; Fifth, I hope that the police will release the law enforcement recorder as soon as possible and restore the truth as soon as possible! As family members, we are most concerned about whether there is a problem with the police's law enforcement. ”
Whether there is a problem in the process of police law enforcement is indeed the most critical point, but Zhou's father deliberately denied the possibility of Zhou Zhengu taking drugs, implying that the police framed him. If the police do not respond to the problem of drug use, it will become a deliberate fishing law enforcement to frame Zhou Zhengu; If the police respond, they will put on a high posture, drug abuse is not punishable by death, everyone must have human rights, and the police will shift the focus.
Su Yu smiled, drug abuse is not death, but Zhou Zhengu's death is not because he took drugs, but because he violently resisted arrest after taking drugs illegally.
Zhou Zhengu's father is well-connected in the society, he was a professor of communication, and most of his students work in the major news media industry, sparing no effort to help the teacher, and the first information that the public comes into contact with is released by the major media.
As a result, Zhou Zhengu's excellent and upright social image was first established in the hearts of the masses, and then the masses' distrust and anger towards the police group were guided, and the police became a negative image of arbitrary and violent law enforcement.
"It's wrong to take drugs, is it worth dying? The lives of citizens are really like mustard, the police don't take the lives of our untouchables seriously, the police have killed people, we must protect our rights! ”
"Prostitution has fishing law enforcement, and drug use is also there, anyway, drug use and prostitution are the same as administrative detention, and it is not the police who have the final say. I have a friend who was arrested by the police and released on the same day, why? Didn't you send 50,000 red envelopes to the police, and the police also have extra money! ”
"Zhou Zhengu is my university professor, he is really good, he is a very good scholar, I don't believe he can take drugs."
"Don't talk about drugs, don't take drugs! Don't wash the floor for the police, you dogs, we only care if the strip kills someone! ”
"If you don't speak up today, you will be the next person to be killed by the police."
"I hope everyone will learn from the police, arrest the police involved in the case, torture them, torture them to extract confessions, and let him sit on the tiger chair!"
Jiang Hanting stared at the TV screen, replaying the interview, his face tensed, his eyes were dark, and he moved his lips: "He is violently resisting the law." ”
He sneered: "You actually made up fishing law enforcement for drug use?" Have they forgotten how many anti-narcotics police officers have died because of drug enforcement? ”
Jiang Hanting said, clenching his fists and biting the muscles of his cheeks, restraining his anger.
Huo Ran's dark eyes glanced at Jiang Hanting thoughtfully.
Su Yu sorted out the timeline on the whiteboard.
Zhou Zhengu went out between 10:30 and 11:00.
Jiang Hanting led the team to investigate and deal with the bar, and the time when Zhou Zhengu was caught was around 11:20.
From 11:20 to 11:30, Zhou Zhengu resisted arrest and fled.
From 11:30 to 11:40, Zhou Zhengu was detained in a police car.
At 11:40, the police found Zhou Zhengu unwell and took him to the hospital.
At 12:00, Zhou Zhengu was sent to the hospital, and according to the emergency doctor, his pupils were dilated and there were no vital signs.
At about 1 o'clock in the morning, Zhou Zhengu's family went to the hospital, and Zhou Zhengu was pronounced dead after 45 minutes of routine rescue.
Su Yu took the red pen and drew a circle on the time period from 11:20 to 11:40 - the key time period.
Huo Ran was about to say something when there was a sudden commotion outside the office.
Someone hurriedly stopped: "Wait, sir, Lawyer Huo is receiving the client, you can't rush in directly." ”
"Get out of the way!" The person who came was so angry that his voice was tense, as if he was gritting his teeth.
Footsteps hurried.
In the next second, the office door was kicked open without hesitation.
Looking up, two tall and strong bodyguards were against the door, Xie Lao held the head of the cane, his face was gloomy, his eye bags were a little heavy, his finger bones were slightly white, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were protruding.
"Huo Ran!"
He walked in, the sound of the cane hitting the floor was distinct, and his sharp eyes swept over Jiang Hanting, who was sitting on the sofa, and landed on the whiteboard full of Zhou Zhengu's death.
He didn't smile: "You agreed to defend Xie Shen." ”
Huo Ran didn't speak.
Old Xie's face became worse and worse: "But you took on other cases!" Huo Ran, did I tell you, don't annoy me, you don't care to defend Xie Shen at all now! So far, you've only seen Xie Shen twice! Immediately gave up defending the policeman. ”
"Impossible."
Huo Ran's voice was cool and cold, and he didn't have any emotion.
Xie Lao clenched the faucet, raised his hand, and the bodyguard obediently closed the door of the office, and he glanced at Jiang Hanting.
Jiang Hanting knew that they were going to talk about things, so he didn't say anything, stood up, and walked out of the office.
Xie Lao sat down, he seemed to be calming down, slowly let go of his clenched hand, glanced at Su Yu, and said, "Huo Ran, if you want to be a successful man, you shouldn't be bothered by the love of your children." If I'm not mistaken, your trainee lawyer, the girl from the Su family, turned out to be a prosecutor full of a sense of justice. ”
Su Yu pursed her lower lip and looked sideways at Huo Ran.
Xie Lao laughed, the wrinkles on his face spread, and he said sarcastically: "A prosecutor for one day, a prosecutor for life, it is absolutely impossible for you to expect her to stand on the opposite side of public power and defend those who are oppressed by authority, she will only drag you down, for her self-righteous fairness and justice." ”
Su Yu's fingertips tightened slightly, her red lips moved, and she wanted to say something.
Huo Ran opened his mouth and said lightly: "You should believe in my work ethic." ”
"How do you make me believe you?" Old Xie's forehead was bruised, and his cheek muscles tightened, "You stand on the side of the useless silverfish of the public procuratorate, procuratorate, and law, you defend the police, you clear the charge for the police, but you don't want to clear Xie Shen's name." ”
Xie Lao stood up suddenly: "I came this time to give you one last chance, so that you can respect your profession and do what a litigator should do, without morality or shame, and after taking the dirty money, he worked hard like a dog to clear Xie Shen's name." ”
He sneered, his tone full of contempt and contempt for the profession of lawyer.
When Su Yu heard this, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and the angry flames in his chest burned little by little.
She wanted to say something, but her wrist was held by Huo Ran.
Huo Ran's palms were warm, his fingers were rough, and they were slowly tightened, his side face was cold, his lips tightened, and his dark eyes met Xie Lao.
"Cleared of charges? Xie Lao, before the trial, everyone is innocent, and they have no charges to be cleared. The same goes for Xie Shen. ”
Huo Ran's tone was flat and calm.
Xie Lao narrowed his eyes and looked at Huo Ran, as if he was thinking about what trick he was playing, but at least, the expression on his face softened a little.
He smiled: "It's good that you can figure it out, no one will have trouble with money, anyway, you have a conscience and let many criminals escape the punishment of the law, whether you kill or not is not up to you to win the prosecutor." ”
Huo Ran's dark eyes were deep, and his lips were cold: "The prosecutor and the lawyer are indeed two parties in the game in the court, but it does not mean that they are two absolutely opposite parties, and all legal practitioners are based on the law." Xie Shen is my client, he is being indicted by the prosecution, and all I have to do as a lawyer is to make sure that he receives a fair trial, and to review in court whether the prosecution's evidence is true, legal, and sufficient to convict him. Not only Xie Shen, but all the clients I have received are the same, they can be acquitted because the prosecution's evidence is insufficient or illegal, and I don't know and have no right to judge whether they killed or not. ”
That is, he will not guarantee that Xie Shen will be innocent, and he does not care whether Xie Shen killed or not, all he can rely on is the prosecution's evidence.
