Oriental City.

Dongmen District, District Prosecutor's Office.

Criminal Serious Crimes Section, Office of the Head of Crime.

"Judge Chen, I know, I'm going to inform Xiao Ren and ask her to prepare and go over immediately."

Qi Zhengtian, head of the Criminal and Serious Crimes Division and senior prosecutor of the District Prosecutor's Office, hurriedly hung up the phone and immediately opened the door to his office.

"Ren Qianning, come here!"

In the office of the Serious Crimes Bureau, there was a sudden silence, and then a girl in professional clothes walked in quickly.

She is Ren Qianning, the prosecutor in charge of Zhou Ping'an's case.

In the office, Qi Zhengtian was kneading the bridge of his nose, obviously not in a very good mood.

He glanced at the documents on the table, carefully aligned the corners of the documents, and after ensuring symmetry, he felt a little more comfortable.

"Director Qi, are you looking for me?"

Ren Qianning walked into the office at the right time, with some nervousness and surprise on her little face.

Because the Qi Zhengtian in front of him is not only one of the persons in charge of the District District Prosecutor's Office, but also known as the High Procuratorate, whether it is qualifications or experience, he is not lower than the chief prosecutor of their District District Prosecutor's Office.

However, if you want to say a bad point, it may be that this Director Qi has high requirements for his subordinates, not only in work, but also in ......

"Well, Lao Chen of the appellate court called just now, and the defense lawyer seems to be ...... in Zhou Ping'an's case."

Qi Zhengtian said, but his eyes caught a glimpse of Ren Qianning's cuffs.

He frowned, then pulled out a small pair of scissors from the left-hand drawer.

"Don't move!"

Under the order, Ren Qianning stood upright, not daring to make the slightest move.

And Qi Zhengtian took the scissors, walked quickly to the latter's side, turned the cuffs over, and cut off a thread on it.

"Well, it's much more comfortable."

After doing all this, Qi Zhengtian returned to the original flavor, put the scissors back in place, and repeatedly confirmed that the position had not changed, and then continued.

"In short, Lao Chen called, Zhou Ping'an's case, he was the defense general."

"Alice, can she persecute Judge Chen?"

Ren Qianning's eyes widened, and her face was surprised.

In her impression, Alice is a rookie who has not graduated from law school yet, but has just passed the law exam by luck, how can she force Judge Chen Ruhai, who has an experienced experience in the appellate court, to the point that she has to ask the prosecution for help.

That's impossible!

When pigs fly!

Something must have gone wrong.

"In short, Judge Chen's side can't hold on, we have to send someone over, if our side is okay, this case will have to be retried!"

"Can the defence find evidence to refute the ruling? If Alice really found it, why did she come to ...... under the pretext of sweeping my sister's grave a few days ago?"

Speaking of this, Ren Qianning's eyes darkened.

Her sister Ren Qianrou, a talent who was once highly expected by the District Prosecutor's Office, died young.

"We all know that your sister's affair was a tragic accident, but I hope you don't make mistakes at work because of your sister!"

Qi Zhengtian's tone also became serious.

"Anyway, you go over, wait for the meeting presided over by Judge Chen, you and the defense have a good time, and see what Lawyer Du's daughter has prepared!"

"Understood, Director Qi!"

Ren Qianning nodded yes, and then walked out of the office quickly.

"Ren Qianrou, it's a pity, such a talent!"

Watching Ren Qianning leave, Qi Zhengtian let out a long sigh.

Because Ren Qianrou used to be brought by her, he was in the Dongfang City District Procuratorate at that time, and Ren Qianrou also joined the General Administration as soon as she graduated, and her future is limitless.

Compared with the shrewd and capable sister who is resolute, it is Ren Qianning's younger sister, who still has too many deficiencies.

Every time he saw Ren Qianning, it reminded him of that sister.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but these two sisters actually became his subordinates.

"Forget it, the past is all in the past, and Ren Qianrou's matter is just an accident."

Qi Zhengtian suppressed the sadness in his heart, and then the details of Zhou Ping'an's case flashed in his mind.

"There should be no problem in this case, the murderer is Zhou Ping'an, the evidence is conclusive!"

"In what Arou used to say, that is, the evidence is ironclad, and the advantage is on our prosecution!"

"Besides, the opponent is a rookie, and he is not the top ace barrister in the industry, what can go wrong?"

Qi Zhengtian himself laughed, what can go wrong with such a case?

It's impossible that there will be an ace barrister interfering in such a small case, right?

……

3 p.m.

It's still the appellate court, Chen Ruhai's office.

At this moment, on the reception sofa in the office, Chen Ruhai sat in the center, while Alice and Ren Qianning sat on the left and right sides respectively.

Behind Alice, there are also the maid Tracy and her subordinate Zhang Yi, and there is only one on Ren Qianning's side, which seems to be a little weak.

Zhang Yi also stared at Ren Qianning intently at the moment.

He had to admit that the little girl who followed behind Ren Qianrou back then was finally in charge now.

"It's almost the same as my sister......"

Zhang Yi sighed in his heart, worthy of being a sister.

And Ren Qianning also felt Zhang Yi's gaze, but she was often looked at by men at work, and she was used to it.

The only thing that is strange is that Ren Qianning always feels that the man behind Alice seems to be a little inexplicably familiar.

But she couldn't remember for a while who this man was.

"Ahem, Alice, and Judge Chen, since you asked me to come, now I'm here."

Ren Qianning ignored Zhang Yi's gaze on herself, and instead went straight to the point: "Now, we can talk about Zhou Ping'an's case." ”

"Well, Xiao Ren is right, we still have to talk about the case."

Chen Ruhai on the side also hurriedly agreed.

"Uh-huh, let's talk about the case!"

Alice nodded, she was here for this.

As she spoke, she took out the document she had just handed to Chen Ruhai and handed it to Ren Qianning.

"We have investigated, there are not too many contradictions between Zhou Ping'an and the victim, he has no motive to kill, this is the suspicion that we have been emphasizing."

"No motive?"

Ren Qianning raised her eyebrows: "But he confessed." ”

"Sister Ren, I don't know if you've heard the news about this, when the Criminal Serious Crime Team of the Investigation Bureau investigates the case, its methods may be relatively rough and ......."

"Do you want to say that they forced the suspect to confess and even induced him to confess?"

Ren Qianning exclaimed in surprise, and her tone was stunned.

"I didn't say anything, you understand!" Alice hurriedly waved her hand.

I don't know anything, you said it yourself.

"Ahem!"

Seeing that the topic of the chat gradually deviated from the topic, Chen Ruhai hurriedly coughed and interrupted: "That, this time we are talking about the case, and we can't investigate the methods used by the investigation department to interrogate the prisoners!" ”

"Judge Chen, you mean, you also acquiesce in the interrogation methods of the Investigation Section, there is a problem?"

But Alice saw the needle, as if she had caught the meaning of Chen Ruhai's words, and immediately clicked.

Chen Ruhai was shocked, and shouted in his heart to deny Sanlian: I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense!

His eyes under his glasses subconsciously stared at Alice.

This girl is beautiful and cute, why is her heart so black, this is to trap me in an unrighteous place!

It's so bad, it's a big drop in my heart!

"Ahem, let's talk about the case, talk about the case......"

"However, if there are some irregularities in the investigation and interrogation of the Investigation Bureau, will this affect the validity of the evidence?"

Alice held on to this question, and even cautiously turned around and glanced at Zhang Yi.

Yes, this trick was also taught by Zhang Yi.

Or rather, a criminal defense lawyer would question it.

Because when the investigation bureau caught the suspect, there were basically some problems with the method of interrogation to extract confessions.

For example, prepare coffee that is so unpalatable to the suspect that it looks like cat feces, deliberately turn on the air conditioner to the coldest temperature, or scare the suspect by raising the sound decibels, etc., anyway, there are more means of interrogation.

The first question a criminal defense lawyer asks when meeting a suspect is whether the Investigation Division has embarrassed you during the interrogation or detention, and if so, I can help you prosecute them.

Of course, the people in the Investigation Bureau will have their own set of rules for doing this kind of thing.

If the coffee is unpalatable, you have to ask the purchasing department; If the air conditioner is low, it may be that someone "accidentally" turned on the wrong temperature; As for the interrogation, the voice was a little loud, sorry, there is some tinnitus these days, so I speak a little louder.

The Investigation Bureau also has a lot of reasons to defend itself, and it's actually hard for you to pursue it.

However, these are sufficient grounds to refute the validity of the evidence.

Although my client, Zhou Ping'an, may have pleaded guilty, it cannot be ruled out that he had to confess under the "high-pressure interrogation" of the Investigation Bureau.

Although I know that both you and the Investigation Section will refute it, I will bring it up anyway.

"Objection, this is just a fictitious matter, the interrogation process of the investigation department is strictly implemented in accordance with the norms, and there can be no problem as stated by the defense!"

Ren Qianning argued with reason, staring at Alice with a serious face.

She always felt that this little girl seemed to have changed a little recently, at least the way and method of asking questions had changed a lot compared with before.

Hearing the rebuttal, Alice subconsciously glanced back at Zhang Yi, who nodded.

The rebuttal is also expected, take the next move!

Alice took out a document again and handed it to Chen Ruhai and Ren Qianning.

"In addition to questioning the interrogation process, we also questioned the direction of the investigation of the Investigation Section, which is the social relationship of the deceased Tan that we discovered through the investigation, and we found that he had recently borrowed a lot of illegal mortgages with high interest rates."

Ren Qianning opened the file and flipped through a few photos, which were photos of the deceased Tan Mou's contact with some loan sharks before his death.

"These photos ......"

"These photographs were retrieved from the investigation report of the Investigation Section, which in fact did initially try to search for the social connections of the deceased, but in the end they did not continue the investigation."

Alice added.

As for why the investigation was not continued, it was naturally because the murderers had been caught, and there was no point in continuing to investigate.

"Ahem, I don't know if Judge Chen and Sister Ren have ever heard of the term "blind detective".

"Blind detective?" Chen Ruhai subconsciously shook his head.

"Blind Detective!" And Ren Qianning was staring at her, as if she was caught in a memory.

In my mind, a picture flashed.

It was when she was still in law school that she happened to watch her sister's trial.

"Ren Qianrou, I don't know if you've ever heard of the term 'blind detective'!"

A man retorted loudly to his sister, and these are the four words that he uttered!

This man, his name is Zhang San!

In fact, since Ren Qianning became a prosecutor, she has come into contact with many criminal defense lawyers.

But the only person who knows the words "blind detective" and can use it is Zhang Sanyi.

This is also a routine often used by the other side to refute the Investigation Bureau and the prosecutor.

And with Zhang San's disappearance for 3 years, she hasn't heard this word for 3 years.

But today, Ren Qianning actually heard this word again in Alice's mouth.

"The so-called blind detective means that once the criminal investigators determine that Zhou Ping'an is the murderer, then they will subconsciously collect all the evidence that can prove that the murderer is Zhou Ping'an, and they may selectively ignore other evidence."

"Because of this, we suspect that there may be similar problems in the Investigation Section, which has led to unfair treatment of my client by the Investigation Division, which is the fundamental reason why I hope that the case will be remanded for retrial."

Alice spoke again, and her words were conclusive.

"This ......"

Chen Ruhai was a little speechless.

He looked at Alice, this little girl is really ruthless, she fired directly at the investigation department, right?

When you wrote your appeal before, your attitude was like asking someone to do something, why has your attitude become so sharp now?

And he threatened others when he didn't agree, and questioned the problems of the criminal investigators, which made me a little scared.

Chen Ruhai even had the illusion that the little girl in front of him was not a rookie, but an experienced, ruthless and decisive veteran!

Because rookies will beg for people, veterans know that it is useless to ask for people, they are all directly threatened.

"Alice, do you know what you're talking about?"

And Ren Qianning finally broke free from her memories and returned to reality.

She stared at Alice, trying in vain to find the other party's connection with Zhang San, but no matter how she looked at it, she felt impossible.

The outlaw fanatic Zhang San is an ace barrister with a NO.3 ranking.

And Alice, she's not even a barrister, she's just a law student who hasn't graduated from law school at best.

It is absolutely impossible for such two people to have any connection.

Well, that's a coincidence!

Alice may have watched Zhang San's trial, so she learned about the "blind detective" statement.

"Sister Ren, I am here to fight for the rights and interests of the parties, and to live up to the expectations of the parents and villagers in the parties' hometowns!"

Seeing that Alice's momentum was not weaker than herself, Ren Qianning was also shocked.

And Chen Ruhai was also a little panicked after hearing about his father and fellow villagers.

"Xiao Ren, this case is indeed a bit tricky, and if the fathers and villagers really come to Dongfang City, the journey will be tiring......"

Chen Ruhai was cowardly, because he was blocked by a group of countrymen, and the face of the judge of his appeal court was not good-looking.

And this incident will also have a huge impact on public opinion.

It's not that he's afraid, it's not uncommon for the court to be blocked, but this pot can't be carried by his appellate court.

"Judge Chen, you don't want to compromise easily, do you?"

"Huh?"

Seeing Ren Qianning say this, Chen Ruhai was going to MMP in his heart.

What do you mean I want to compromise?

I, a judge of the appellate court, what can I compromise, even if the case is sent back for retrial, it will be a headache for the judges of your district prosecutor's office and the criminal division, and I can talk to you here for so long, which can be regarded as worthy of my work.

Chen Ruhai thought so, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind.

I understand!

Ren Qianning said this because she wanted to throw the ball on herself, so that their local prosecutor's office could clear up her involvement.

It's all Judge Chen of the Appellate Court who compromised, and our local prosecutor's office has no choice but to accept this result, so you victims' families understand that it's all Chen Ruhai's problem.

Boy!

Chen Ruhai thought to himself, I didn't expect you to be Ren Qianning, a newcomer who has just joined the District Prosecutor's Office for a few years, and your heart is also very bad!

"Xiao Ren, my attitude on my side, in principle, agrees, it depends on your local prosecutor's office!"

Chen Ruhai used his means again and agreed in principle, but he didn't really agree, it all depends on what you Ren Qianning meant.

Seeing this scene, Alice was excited in her heart.

Because this is exactly the same as Zhang Yi expected.

As long as Chen Ruhai does not object, then getting Ren Qianning is equivalent to getting the opportunity for a retrial.

But how to deal with Ren Qianning?

It's okay, Zhang Yi is ready for the routine!

"Sister Ren, in fact, there is a reason why I should be so concerned about this case."

Alice threw a bombshell: "Because of this case, that lawyer Zhang San is also paying attention~"

"What, Zhang San!"

Hearing Alice's words, Chen Ruhai was completely shocked.

Extrajudicial fanatic Zhang San, ace barrister NO.3, the king of criminal defense lawyers, winning all battles, specializing in the District Prosecutor's Office, these titles all show the trickiness of this person!

Even Chen Ruhai in the appellate court occasionally heard of Zhang Sanming.

And Alice actually got involved with Zhang San.

"What are you talking about, Zhang San, where is he!" Ren Qianning stood up even more excitedly.

"Sister Ren, I just said that lawyer Zhang San paid attention to this case, as for where he is, how could I influence the actions of an ace barrister?"

Alice spread her hands and her little face turned up: I don't know anything, don't ask me!

"Okay, let you remand this case for retrial, I want to see why that Zhang San pays attention to this case!"

Ren Qianning finally compromised, or after hearing Zhang San's name, she directly chose to agree to the retrial.

"Alice, you go and tell Zhang San, I will never forgive him about my sister!"

Dropping this sentence, Ren Qianning frowned with anger, shook his face and left.

Alice, on the other hand, hurriedly turned around and glanced at Zhang Yi, her eyes full of excitement.

It's finally done, and the case is going to be retried.

A few minutes later.

Entrance to the Court of Appeal.

"Anyway, how do you know that when Zhang San is mentioned, Sister Ren will agree to a retrial?"

"Because I took advantage of her hatred for Zhang San."

"Then she wants me to tell Zhang San, how can I tell her?"

"Boss, I only said that Zhang San paid attention to this case, but I never said that Zhang San would appear in court, right? Maybe the three of them are thousands of miles away, but no one can find him, and who can confront him? ”

"Okay, are you playing tricks on others?"

Until this moment, Alice didn't know that Zhang Yi was a routine for Ren Qianning.

What Zhang San, where is Zhang San here?

"But boss, hasn't our goal been accomplished, as long as the goal is achieved, who cares if this means is insidious or not?"

"That's right, as long as the goal is achieved, the process doesn't matter, hey, hey, you're so bad!"

"Boss, you're also a big drop!"

Zhang Yi and Alice, when they walked out of the appellate court, had a touch of treachery on their faces.

Tracy looked at the two of them, and an idiom suddenly came to mind.

In cahoots!
