Chapter 9 It is my duty to help the client!
An hour later......
Zhou Yan was pushed into the small room again.
At this moment, Lawyer Zou was already sitting inside.
In fact, lawyer Zou had just left not long ago, because every time he came to talk to the prisoners, he had to make a record, and Zhou Yan was in the cell, reading the words on the book for a while, licking his elbows for a while, and calling for a while, and the time only passed for a long time. Lawyer Zou drove the car, and before he had passed a few red lights, he was called back again.
There is no way, after all, the prisoner has a history of mental illness, and he is about to be executed, so he still has to be respected.
The most important thing is that I am afraid that the prisoner will make something at this time and implicate himself.
So, the two met again.
"Hello." Lawyer Zou's opening remarks this time were obviously reluctant.
Zhou Yan sat on the chair as if he couldn't hear it.
"Lawyer, my case is a problem! I may have been wronged! ”
Lawyer Zou was stunned: "You mean, you may not have killed the person?" ”
"Hmm!" Zhou Yan nodded heavily.
"Then why do you use the word [maybe], aren't you sure if you kill or not?" The lawyer's expression became even more suspicious.
"This ...... It doesn't matter. Zhou Yan prevaricated casually: "Anyway, I want to see the original copy of the case file, I want to see all the details, can you help me!" ”
"I can't." Lawyer Zou replied without thinking about it.
"Huh? Why! ”
"You're the number one suspect, you can't watch it according to the rules."
"Then if I die, I want to see it, if I don't show it, I'll talk nonsense, defecate everywhere, bite when I see a man, and lick a woman when I see it."
"This ......" Lawyer Zou was a little stunned when he heard this: "If you have to see it, it's not impossible." ”
"What's the solution?"
"Yes, I can apply for a retrial of the case on your behalf, but this requires sufficient weight of evidence to overturn the previous conclusion, and the detective who took the case needs to be present in person."
Zhou Yan was slightly puzzled when he heard this, and thought, I turned over my confession, why do I have to have a detective on the scene, as if a detective can be fully responsible for a murder case.
Indeed, the detective thing, in the world before Zhou Yan's rebirth, was a third-rate profession, most of them were looking for kittens and puppies, taking some cheating photos or something, and for cases of this level of 'homicide', there is no right to speak, such as [Conan] [Kanedaichi] This kind of character who can call the police as soon as he signs up is almost non-existent.
However, Zhou Yan didn't bother to think about it, he quickly nodded: "I have evidence!" ”
Subsequently, Zhou Yan told the lawyer all the inferences he had seen in the book about the dust under the crack in the door.
After listening to this, the lawyer said, "You are making it up, how do you know these details, is it written in the case file?" ”
"I didn't write it."
"If you don't write it, you can't count it as a ......"
The lawyer's words were not finished, "Smack! With a bang, Zhou Yan slapped the table hard.
"What's wrong with not writing? I didn't write it because the police were not doing well! It's because of that bullshit detective's bad eyes! It's entirely because of other people's mistakes that I've suffered from this kind of unwarranted disaster, and now I'm about to be shot, and you're still here to push back, aren't you a lawyer! Isn't it your duty to stand in my shoes and clear my name? How can it be as if you are helping the police to find a reason for their dereliction of duty, are you worthy of your conscience! ”
After saying this big set of words, Zhou Yan only took less than 10 seconds, and the words were correct and round, Zhou Yan doubted whether he was talking about cross talk in his previous life.
And these words did have some effect, after the lawyer's words were held back, for a few seconds, he was in a state of stunned. Maybe he thinks what this kid said makes sense.
But Lawyer Zou was still rational after all, he took off his eyes and nodded: "Okay, what you said makes sense, then I apologize for my performance just now." But...... You still need to pay attention to the process, and if it is not written in the case file, it cannot be counted as evidence, and it has been almost half a year, what kind of dust are you talking about, the crack in the door, there must be no way to confirm it for a long time, so ......"
"It's okay, I can re-record the confession!" Zhou Yan said.
"Re-recording the confession?"
"Yes, as a client, my confession should still be a little convincing, at the scene of the crime, I actually saw the detail of 'dust under the door', but when I recorded the confession later, I didn't say it, I want to add it now!"
"emmm......" The lawyer hesitated: "The supplementary confession is in line with the regulations, but it has been so long, and it is difficult for your confession to take effect!" Besides, since you saw it, why didn't you say it at the time! ”
"I forgot!"
"Huh? Forgot? Then why do you remember it again now! ”
"I had mental illness before, and I suddenly got better a few days ago, and the improvement of my condition has brought back some of my deep memories, I don't know what this condition is called, but in clinical practice, there must be many examples, you explain my situation to the police, and let them go to the doctor for verification."
"This ...... Because of mental illness, the previous memory suddenly became clear~" Lawyer Zou fell into deep thought, and after a while: "Hey, this has not happened before...... It sounds a bit operational, though, but ...... With your unverifiable memories and a little bit of dust under the crack in the door, it's a bit difficult to bring the detective over. ”
Zhou Yan sat up straight and looked at the lawyer solemnly.
"Lawyer Zou, you have been a lawyer for many years, are you willing to be an unknown lawyer who can only accept police summons?"
"......" Lawyer Zou frowned.
"Now, there are only three days left before the date of my execution, and a prisoner who has died to the end of his life, because of you, overturned the death sentence, and even cleared the suspicion and acquitted, is there a precedent for this situation?"
"It should ...... No. ”
"So, if you succeed, you are the first person to drag the condemned prisoner back from hell with your own hands, you are a hero, you have proved that the person who fights death is not only a doctor, but also a lawyer, you will be in the news, think of the newspaper headlines, with your name written in the biggest characters! When the time comes, your entrustment will be piled up in the mailbox, and you will make a fortune......"
Zhou Yan's words easily got into Lawyer Zou's ears, indeed...... If it is really as he said, then his career will definitely change its face.
But......
Mr. Zou is still hesitant.
Seeing this, Zhou Yan leaned back on the chair and said softly:
"I have been imprisoned for half a year, and if I am wronged, there will definitely be a compensation payment, and it will all be given to you at that time."
"Well, it's my obligation to help the client, and I'll do my best."
Lawyer Zou said immediately.
