On the morning of the arraignment, Fu Shiyu and his wife finally met Fu Zhengye.

Fu Zhengye was taken to the interview room by the police.

Tang Xien and Fu Shiyu were looking down to discuss the case at that time, when they heard the sound of the door opening, they looked up, and both of them were stunned for a moment.

Fu Zhengye, who was wearing an orange-red prison uniform vest, had messy hair, a stubbled beard, red eyes, and droopy eye bags, and he seemed to be ten years old.

Tang Xien stood up in shock.

During the years she was a lawyer, she had seen many criminal suspects, all of whom had been in despair, but because she had never seen the criminal suspects before they were arrested, she was not particularly touched.

Fu Zhengye, who had only met a few months ago, had the impression that he was red-faced, handsome and elegant, but he was defeated like this at this time. Tang Xien couldn't imagine what kind of crime he had suffered in the past few days, and he had become like this.

She subconsciously looked at Fu Shiyu standing beside her.

Fu Shiyu's face was still turbulent, but he was much calmer than her, but after a closer look, he found that his jaw was tight, the masseter muscles on the side of his cheeks were distinct, and he was biting his back molars hard.

"Please come over, time is limited." Police alert.

Fu Zhengye came back to his senses, walked over from the other side of the door with a sad face, and sat down in front of his son and daughter-in-law. He looked at Fu Shiyu for a few seconds, then turned his gaze to Tang Xien, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Why didn't you raise a baby at home when you were pregnant, what are you doing here?" ”

Fu Zhengye is a smiling tiger, and when he spoke to Tang Xien in the past, he was basically three points polite and seven points of love to answer, and when integrated, he gave her the feeling of being gloomy and compassionate. But right now, his tone is so real, it makes Tang Xien uncomfortable.

Tang Xien swallowed his throat, relieved the embarrassment in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's only been more than two months now, and it's not in the way." And I am licensed to practice law in California, and I would like to be your secondary attorney in this case, if you wish. ”

Fu Zhengye frowned, he didn't say anything at first, thinking about what to weigh, and after a while, he asked, "Even if you don't get involved in this case, you will come to listen, right?" ”

Tang Xien was about to speak, but Fu Shiyu, who had been silent from Fu Zhengye to this moment, opened his mouth lightly: "So, this case has not wronged you?" ”

She went to pull Fu Shiyu's hand under the table, frowned, and reminded him to pay attention to his words with her eyes. He was unmoved, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him, just looked at Fu Zhengye with cold eyes but intently.

Fu Zhengye was silent and silent.

Tang Xien felt a sigh in her heart, and she reminded herself in her heart that she couldn't preconceive and judge Fu Zhengye's guilt without seeing the evidence.

The father and son confronted each other for a long time, Fu Zhengye looked at the policeman guarding the rear, lowered his head, and lowered his voice: "I don't have that person from QJ!" I don't even know who she is! ”

Tang Xien and Fu Shiyu glanced at each other.

She doesn't know much about Fu Zhengye, although she generally knows her personality and habits, but she doesn't know as well as Fu Shiyu, who is her own son. Therefore, she asked Fu Shiyu with her eyes.

Fu Shiyu nodded to her. It means that Fu Zhengye's words can still be believed.

She understood this, quickly prepared the wording in her heart, and said succinctly: "Your lawyer and I will show the court that you have to make a not guilty plea at the arraignment, and after investigating and collecting evidence, we will strive to launch a pre-trial motion to persuade the prosecution to withdraw the case......

Fu Zhengye asked her for paper and pen, listened carefully, and took notes on the paper.

Tang Xien glanced at his watch, saw that there was still time, and took out a voice recorder: "I need you to tell me about the situation on the night of the crime." ”

Fu Zhengye's hand writing notes stopped, he didn't say anything for a while, his hands folded under his nose, and his thick eyebrows frowned lightly, as if he was reminiscing, and as if he was weighing whether this matter should be known to his son and daughter-in-law.

Seeing that time was running out, Tang Xien repeated it again.

Fu Zhengye remained silent.

At this time, Fu Shiyu asked: "If you don't say it, how can I help you get rid of it?" ”

Fu Zhengye glanced at his son and daughter-in-law, his eyes were withdrawn again, staring at the void, and he mentioned the events of that night.

He explained very simply, only saying that since noon that day, he has been holding a meeting in the conference room on the fifth floor of the hotel, going to the hotel restaurant with all the participants at 7 o'clock in the evening, going back to the room at 10 o'clock to rest, and leaving the room at half past nine in the morning of the second day to go to the conference room.

Tang Xien captured the key information and asked, "After you returned to your room, did anyone else come in and out of your room?" ”

Fu Zhengye glanced at his son, and after a long while, he replied, "...... Yes. ”

"When to get in and when to get out?"

"Entered the room at half past ten in the evening...... Leave at two in the morning. ”

Fu Shiyu, who was thinking about the case, frowned when he heard the words, and Fu Zhengye looked away uncomfortably.

Tang Xien wrote it down in turn: "Okay, look at the investigation and evidence collection later, if you need TA to help you make an alibi, then contact TA at that time." ”

Fu Zhengye nodded, his face pale.

The police came over to take him out of the meeting room, and Tang Xien packed up his things and left with Fu Shiyu.

On the way to the law firm, seeing Fu Shiyu's heart, she was concerned: "What's wrong with you?" Isn't it good that your dad said he didn't commit a crime? I thought you'd be happier. ”

Fu Shiyu didn't squeak for a while, still frowning and thinking about things. After a while, he said, "He has always had a regular schedule, going to bed early and getting up early, why is there someone coming in and out of his room so late that night?" Is this man male or female? What did you do with him in his room? ”

When Tang Xien first heard Fu Zhengye talk about it, she had doubts in her heart, and it was okay for her to ask at that time, but the other party was Fu Shiyu's father, so she kept a little privacy for him, and waited until she really needed that person to help him make an alibi, and then discussed with him.

She sneered, "Isn't there an important negotiation the next day?" Maybe it's a business matter, and I'm late to talk. ”

Fu Shiyu was noncommittal, but Tang Xien saw that he already had some doubts about Fu Zhengye in his heart.

……

In the afternoon, Tang Xien and the chief lawyer attended the arraignment of Fu Zhengye's case, and in addition to saying that they would plead not guilty, they also applied to the judge for Fu Zhengye's bail, but the judge believed that the nature of the case was serious and the defendant was "at risk of avoiding trial" and might escape, so he refused to set a bail bond and sent Fu Zhengye to prison.

After the court was withdrawn, the prosecution and the defense exchanged information. Tang Xi'en obtained the forensic doctor's report on the victim's injuries and evidence at the scene of the crime from the prosecutor, and began to conduct this stage of investigation and evidence collection.

Because they want to try to persuade the prosecution to withdraw the charges during the pre-trial motion, and Fu Zhengye has now been officially imprisoned, not to mention that the prison environment is not good, let's just say that the prison culture of country M has always been hostile to QJ prisoners, and everyone is very worried that Fu Zhengye will be mutilated in it, so it is urgent to investigate and collect evidence.

Late at night, they were discussing the case in the conference room of the law firm.

On the cork board on the wall, a number of photos of the victim's injuries were attached, and the scars in the photos were shocking, and Tang Xien's morning sickness made a comeback.

The Assurance Division has one copy of the appraisal report.

The report was an identification of the body fluids found in TT at the scene of the crime, and the forensic conclusion on it stated that the body fluid specimen belonged to Fu Zhengye himself, and that DNA belonging to the victim was detected in Fu Zhengye's fingernails.

Everyone was silent......

The case seems to have reached a dead end.
