Chapter 18: Declaration of War
Fu Lichen's car stopped at the entrance of the Jiangzhou District People's Court in Haishi.
Carry the bag, get out of the car, lock it, and do it all in one go.
Xu Xiaxi followed Fu Lichen into the gate of the court in a daze, and he was still a little relieved.
A lawyer of Fu Lichen's level is famous enough, and he doesn't need to come out in person for ordinary cases.
So as soon as he appeared, there was no shortage of staff members passing by along the way, who frequently cast curious glances at them.
Xu Xiaxi was weak-hearted, and couldn't help grabbing Fu Lichen's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say that you were not suitable to show up?" It's not appropriate to come to the court with such fanfare now, right? ”
Isn't this tantamount to announcing to everyone that Fu Lichen wants to investigate Chen Jing's case three years ago?
Even if Fu Lichen wants to intervene in this case sooner or later, it should be the last killer feature.
What else is there to do if it is revealed early?!
Xu Xiaxi looked at Fu Lichen anxiously, and almost didn't shout loudly: Leader, don't be impulsive!
What about your concerns!
What about your thoughtfulness!
Fu Lichen seemed to understand what she wanted to express from Xu Xiaxi's eager expression, and her cold eyebrows and eyes finally showed a hint of a smile, as if to appease.
But then it turned firm, his voice was cold, and he said word by word: "In the past, I had too many worries to keep it down, but now three years have passed, and all I want is to give him justice."
But those people don't want to keep their promises, so I have nothing to worry about! ”
"W-What?" Xu Xiaxi felt as if she had heard some shocking secret, and was startled, not sure what she heard for a while.
However, Fu Lichen didn't mean to continue, he shook Xia Xi's hand with his backhand, patted her lightly on the back of her hand, and then walked up the steps with his long slender legs and entered the court's case filing hall.
Xu Xiaxi was faintly uneasy in her heart, but her leaders no longer had scruples, so she was naturally a little minion who always adhered to the great purpose of listening to the words of the leader and following the leader, and followed behind Fu Lichen step by step.
Speaking of which, this is the first time Xu Xiaxi has stepped into the door of the court, looking at the spacious hall on the first floor, the social people in suits and leather shoes, and the court staff in uniform in uniform, she can't help but feel an indescribable sense of pride in her heart.
The security guard in the hall obviously knew Fu Lichen, and when he saw someone, he immediately greeted him warmly, and asked with a smile: "Why does Lawyer Fu have time to come to us today?" Is it for a court session? ”
The security guard looked to be about 50 years old, and he was full of social tones, and he was neither overly flattering nor respectful.
And from his questioning, it can be seen that he knew Fu Lichen's 'worth' from the beginning, so even if Fu Lichen hadn't opened his mouth yet, the other party had already determined that Fu Lichen couldn't be here to do such an errand as filing a case.
I'm afraid that only a court session can support this great god.
However, Xu Xiaxi knew that this time was definitely not as peaceful as the security guard had imagined, and she was afraid that Fu Lichen would be impulsive and directly say that she was here to appeal.
She looked at Fu Lichen nervously, only to see the other party's thin lips lightly opened, and said in a light tone: "I'm here to adjust the papers." ”
"Transfer?"
Although the security guard has worked in the court for twenty or thirty years, he has always been a layman, and he doesn't know what it means to transfer the file, and he also said that Fu Lichen condescended to come to check the case he was handling in person, and said with a smile: "Okay, please wait a moment, I will help you take over the criminal court now." ”
Before the phone button was pressed, Fu Lichen said: "No need, just give me the archives, the case must have been filed." I have authorization in my hand, and I can go directly to the archives to read the papers. ”
"Ahh Oh, good! The security guard was stunned for only two seconds, and then subconsciously pressed the phone in the archives, reflecting on whether he should ask the department leader first, and the phone had already been connected.
The security guard didn't care about it, so he had to let Fu Lichen go after checking Fu Lichen's power of attorney.
Xu Xiaxi started the small follower mode throughout the process, and when he entered the elevator, he finally couldn't help but exclaim: "It turns out that this is the court, which is very different from what I imagined!" ”
Fu Lichen glanced at her amusedly, "Otherwise, what do you think the court looks like?" ”
Xu Xiaxi thought about it, and really made a description: "The building is tall and mighty, and all the staff are old-fashioned and serious, and they will reprimand you when they see that there is something wrong with you." Then the others all nodded at them, respectful and respectful, very reserved......"
But looking at the audience just now, Xu Xiaxi was probably the only one who felt restrained.
As for the others, they all looked generous, and the staff at the case filing window were all smiling, even if they were not as attentive and thoughtful as the security guard.
After listening to Xia Xi's description, Fu Lichen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, "What you said is not called a court, it is a yamen in ancient times!" ”
Xu Xiaxi blinked, as if to say: Is there any difference?
Fortunately, she was smart not to ask, otherwise Fu Lichen would definitely throw her out.
"I almost thought you really came to the court to appeal, which scared me." Xu Xiaxi struggled to find a topic.
As a result, he received a disdainful look from Fu Lichen, and said coldly: "Xu Xiaxi, when this matter is over, I think it is really necessary for you to study the litigation process well and systematically." In a criminal appeal case, the parties concerned submit a request for appeal to the procuratorate. ”
Xu Xiaxi blushed embarrassedly, but had a question: "Then why do we come to the court to mediate?" Don't you have all the evidence in the case file? ”
Fu Lichen showed a very gentle smile, and suddenly asked, "What are the types of evidence?" ”
"I know this!" Xu Xiaxi's expression lit up, and he replied as if rushing to answer: "There are documentary evidence, witness testimony, victim statements, defendants' confessions and justifications, appraisal opinions, on-site inspection records, electronic data, and audio-visual materials. ”
The answer was unusually smooth, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but rise proudly.
Fu Lichen's eyes showed approval, and before Xu Xiaxi could be happy, he heard the man say cruelly: "It's not right." ”
Xu Xiaxi's little face immediately drooped, and he looked at Fu Lichen depressedly, indignant in his heart: What's wrong, it's obviously the law that stipulates that!
After the man watched Xu Xiaxi's face change instantly, he was satisfied, and then he kindly gave an answer: "The court is a place to talk about evidence, but what kind of evidence will be recognized is also particular."
According to the nature and characteristics of evidence, evidence is divided into original evidence and circumstantial evidence, physical evidence and verbal evidence, direct evidence and indirect evidence......
Another point that is most important in the classification of this evidence is the 'original' principle. ”
Xu Xiaxi reluctantly digested Fu Lichen's popular science, and only after a while did he ask tentatively: "So we came to the court to interrogate the file, is it because of this 'original' principle?" ”
Fu Lichen nodded and said with a smile: "Half of the answer is correct." ”
"What's the other half?" Xu Xiaxi asked.
Fu Lichen restrained the smile on his face, his voice suddenly became cold, his thin lips opened slightly, and he confided two words: "Declare, war!" ”
Xu Xiaxi felt herself shudder.
Then I heard Fu Lichen say indifferently: "The court can wait until the time for a formal appeal to be filed. This makes it easier to startle the snake. ”
Xu Xiaxi's eyes widened, and his face said: Then what are you doing here?
"But if we don't beat the grass, how can we startle the poisonous snake we want to catch! Chen Jing's case has been going on for too long, and a lot of evidence has long since disappeared with time, so we need new evidence, and this new evidence must be sent out! ”
Fu Lichen hooked his lips and said lightly: "If you don't break it, you can't stand it, that's exactly the truth." ”
So, Fu Lichen is ...... Luring the snake out of the hole?
Xu Xiaxi understood a little, and then obediently followed Fu Lichen to the archives to adjust the papers.
Because of Chen Yang's power of attorney and Fu Lichen's signboard, the process of transferring the file was very smooth, and the efficiency was very high, but when the file was about to be copied, two people walked out of the elevator.
A middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties, short and chubby, but with a very amiable smile on his face, he immediately greeted Fu Lichen with a smile, "Lawyer Fu came to the court, why don't you come to our courtroom to sit down?" ”
Fu Lichen looked at the short and fat man, and introduced to Xu Xiaxi in a very official tone: "Xixi, let me introduce you, this is the president of the criminal court, you will have the opportunity to deal with him in the future, say hello!" ”
Xu Xiaxi was very good, and immediately stretched out his hand to President Liang and greeted politely: "Hello President Liang, my name is Xu Xiaxi, and I am currently Lawyer Fu's assistant, just call me Xiao Xu!" ”
This President Liang originally came to find Fu Lichen, but at this time he had to deal with a small assistant - although with his current status, he could completely ignore Xu Xiaxi, but he couldn't stand this little assistant was personally introduced by Fu Lichen, and he didn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha.
He put on a hypocritical smirk, pretending to be the kind of caring elder, "Xiao Xu looks like he can work under your lawyer Fu at a young age, he is really young and promising!" ”
Xu Xiaxi seemed to be a little embarrassed by this compliment, blushing and scratching his head, "President Liang has won the award, you can be the president of the court at your age, that's really amazing!" I have heard Lawyer Fu mention your name many times, saying that you handle cases fairly and justly, and never bend the law for personal gain, and let us learn from you! ”
What do lawyers learn from judges about fairness and justice?
Isn't that a joke?!
However, these words came out of Xu Xiaxi's mouth, which was humble and polite, only sincere.
President Liang twitched the corner of his mouth, and secretly said that it was really someone trained by Fu Lichen, and he had learned a lot of kung fu in this trick, but it was obviously sarcastic, but people couldn't catch the slightest fault.
The two of them had a false relationship, and President Liang finally sent Xu Xiaxi away, but Fu Lichen had already unhurriedly taken the photocopied materials from the archivist and stuffed them into the document bag.
At the end, he also raised a smile to President Liang: "I am busy with affairs, so I won't bother President Liang." Hee-hee, let's go! ”
With a fluttering sentence, President Liang didn't even have time to talk to Fu Lichen, and watched the two enter the elevator.
"President, didn't you say that you can't make that case sensitive and can't let him take the materials?" Behind President Liang was a young man, and when he saw Fu Lichen and them walking crisply, he couldn't help but ask eagerly.
President Liang glared at Xiao Shao, and said angrily: "He has authorization materials in his hand and the formalities are complete, why don't we let him transfer the file?" ”
"But that case ......"
President Liang's eyes were dark, and he shook his head for a while before he sighed: "Those who should come will always come, and next, I'm afraid our department won't be peaceful for a while!" ”
