"What? It was Zhou Lei who asked you to come! Chen Molei's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

Luo Xiaochuan said very calmly: "To be exact, it was Zhou Lei who recommended me to Liao Wenchang's wife, Xin Lili. ”

"You were recommended by Zhou Lei?" Chen Molei felt that there was something strange in this, and asked: "So, you and Zhou Lei have known each other for a long time, right?" ”

Luo Xiaochuan nodded lightly: "Not bad." He is an alumnus of mine and a former colleague of mine. He has been working in our law firm for almost 2 years, and he is the same master as me. Therefore, it can be regarded as my junior brother. ”

"Then, Zhou Lei recommended you to Xin Lili, is it because he has something to do with Liao Wenchang's refusal to execute the case?" Chen Molei asked.

Luo Xiaochuan helped his glasses and said, "It should be like this, otherwise he wouldn't be so concerned about this case." But as for what exactly he has to do with this case, I don't know. I figured that even if I asked this question, he wouldn't tell me the truth, so I didn't ask.

What I know is that he recommended me to Xin Lili, and Xin Lili handed me the 10 million IOU and asked me to take the IOU to persuade Gu Shaokang to help Liao Wenchang commit perjury. ”

Chen Molei straightened out his thoughts a little, and then asked: "Then, when Xin Lili handed over the IOU to you, did she clearly tell you that the IOU was fake?" ”

Luo Xiaochuan said: "The debt has not been paid off, and the IOU is not in the hands of the lender, but in the hands of the borrower. Although Xin Lili didn't say it explicitly, no one could guess that there was a problem here. ”

Chen Molei asked a little puzzled: "Since you know that there is a problem with that IOU, why do you dare to hand over the IOU to Gu Shaokang and try to make Gu Shaokang perjury, haven't you considered the legal risks of doing so?" ”

Luo Xiaochuan said: "Of course I thought about it, before I decided to hand over the IOU to Gu Shaokang, I also made a special trip to discuss it with Zhou Lei. Later, after analysis, we came to the conclusion that this IOU should have been prepared by Liao Wenchang a long time ago, in order to come in handy when this day comes. Therefore, as long as Gu Shaokang is willing to cooperate, there is no legal risk. ”

The more Chen Molei listened, the more strange he felt: "How did you come to this conclusion?" How can you guarantee that this conclusion is accurate? ”

"Actually, it's not a difficult thing, it's just a comprehensive analysis." A hint of pride flashed on Luo Xiaochuan's face: "During the criminal detention of the suspect, the family members cannot see it, but the lawyer can."

When I first went to the detention center to meet Liao Wenchang during the criminal detention stage, he hinted to me.

He asked me to talk to Xin Lili, saying that there was a letter in the safe at home, and in it was a note, which he had already written, and asked her to take it out and give it to me, and then let me go to that person for help.

When I saw the letter, I found that it was an IOU of 10 million, and the lender was Gu Shaokang.

At that time, I felt strange, and I asked Xin Lili what was going on.

Xin Lili said that she didn't know anything, she only knew that the words on it were indeed written by Liao Wenchang. I looked at the IOU carefully, and it didn't look like it was newly written, and it didn't look like it was fake, but the problem was that the IOU was not in the lender's possession, but in the borrower's possession, which didn't make sense.

It may be that Xin Lili was wary of me and never revealed much information to me. I wasn't sure what to do, so I went to Zhou Lei to discuss.

Zhou Lei told me that although Liao Wenchang doesn't have much ink in his stomach, he is very calculating. He hoarded steel, originally wanting to buy low and sell high to make the difference, but this time he made a mistake.

Of course, he could have thrown away the hoarded steel before the price fell lower, so that he could reduce some of his losses, but he didn't, because he thought that the price of steel would soon bottom out and return to its original price, so that he would still make a profit in the end.

But in any case, there is a risk in this, if the price of steel continues to fall, he may lose all his money.

With Liao Wenchang's shrewdness, he would not have thought of this. For the sake of insurance, he will definitely leave a back road for himself, and this back road should be the 10 million IOU, or rather, the IOU that he prepared in advance in order to pass on the risk. ”

Speaking of this, the two exchanged glances in unison.

In the following words, although Luo Xiaochuan did not continue to say, Chen Molei also understood what he meant.

Forgery of IOUs, contracts and other written evidence is generally forged after the fact, but it is relatively risky to do so and can be easily identified.

However, forgery in advance is different, because with the existing technical conditions, the written evidence with a formation time of more than 6 months can only identify the time period of the formation of the handwriting, so as long as the time of forgery and the literal time of the payment is not particularly long, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false by means of identification, and it is easy to get through the confusion.

Of course, such a professional method is unthinkable to ordinary people, but for legal people and appraisers, this is an almost open secret, Liao Wenchang has been doing business in Dongzhou for so many years, it is inevitable to know a few professionals, and it is not difficult for him to learn this trick.

After a while, I only heard Luo Xiaochuan continue: "Of course, this is just my inference, and later, in order to verify this inference, I privately asked someone to do an appraisal, and the result of the appraisal is that the handwriting formation time of the IOU and the payment time on the IOU did fall into the same time period, that is to say, purely from the perspective of the handwriting formation time, there is no problem with the IOU."

With this appraisal result, I also have a bottom in my heart, because although it cannot prove Liao Wenchang's innocence, it is enough to make the facts of the whole case unclear, and in that way, my defense purpose has been achieved.

But as you know, this kind of evaluation has always been more laborious, so I didn't receive a text message about the results until 2 minutes before the first trial.

But to put it bluntly, after the first trial, I thought I had won the game, and even before the second trial, I thought so, but I never thought that Gu Shaokang would defect before the battle, and as a result, I lost everything. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, and then continued: "But then again, in fact, the back road that Liao Wenchang left for himself is still very clever.

With that IOU, he could borrow Gu Shaokang's bank account to transfer hidden funds, so that even if the flow of funds was discovered, he could say that the funds he deposited into that account were to repay Gu Shaokang's debts.

In addition, he doesn't have to worry about Gu Shaokang's idea of making an IOU, because according to the current judicial adjudication standards, such a large amount of debt, if only an IOU, without proof of payment of money, it is difficult to obtain the support of the court to claim creditor's rights, Gu Shaokang has been lending for so many years, he must also know this.

Therefore, for Liao Wenchang, that IOU is not only a talisman, but also a firewall.

Thinking about the past six or seven years, I have also represented many criminal cases, but it is the first time I have seen such a shrewd defendant as Liao Wenchang! ”

Luo Xiaochuan's analysis was the first to do, but Chen Molei still had a few questions that he didn't understand, so he continued to ask Luo Xiaochuan: "If according to what you said, the IOU was prepared by Liao Wenchang in advance, then as long as the IOU is handed over to Gu Shaokang and the judicial appraisal procedure is completed, Liao Wenchang can be acquitted."

What I don't understand is that this matter can obviously be done in the investigation stage, but Liao Wenchang not only didn't do it, but he didn't even mention the IOU. That doesn't make sense, does it? ”

"It's not surprising at all." Luo Xiaochuan smiled and said, "I already said it just now. Although the IOU was forged in advance, the fake is fake after all, and whether it can stand up to the appraisal or not, Liao Wenchang has no bottom in his heart.

If he rashly raised the IOU during the investigation stage, the public security organs would definitely ask Gu Shaokang to investigate the situation, and they would also definitely or appraise the time when the IOU was formed.

At that time, if the appraisal result is that the formation time of the IOU and the time of payment fall into the same time period, then it is good to say, but if the two times do not fall into the same time period, it is a forgery of evidence, and it will become a stone to shoot yourself in the foot.

Therefore, before the appraisal results come out, of course, he will not mention the IOU. ”

Chen Molei paused for a moment and said: "In this way, the time when the IOU was written was April 21, 2015, but the actual writing time of the IOU was definitely not on this day, but after a period of time. Otherwise, there would be no need to do a private appraisal at all. ”

Luo Xiaochuan nodded: "It should be like this, but as for the real writing time of the IOU, I'm afraid only Liao Wenchang himself knows." ”

Chen Molei snorted, and then leaned forward slightly: "There is another question that I haven't been able to understand, I don't know if you can help me solve it." It is said that Gu Shaokang is famous for loving money like life, but Liao Wenchang wants to hide and transfer funds, how could he think of using Gu Shaokang's bank account? Could it be that he is so relieved of Gu Shaokang? Isn't he afraid that Gu Shaokang will take the opportunity to swallow his money? ”

Luo Xiaochuan said: "This is actually not difficult to understand. That's right, Gu Shaokang loves money like life, but judging from my experience, he is by no means an unruly person.

There is a saying that I believe you have also heard, it is called theft and there is a way. I think the reason why Gu Shaokang has been able to operate in Dongzhou for nearly 20 years, and Liao Wenchang will think of him after the accident, should be because he has been following this rule. ”

There is a way to steal! It is the first time that Chen Molei has heard someone comment on Gu Shaokang like this, but if you think about it carefully, such an evaluation is indeed reasonable, just as Zhou Lei said, if it were not for this rule, I am afraid that Gu Shaokang would not have been operating in Dongzhou for nearly 20 years without failing.

Before hearing such an answer, Chen Molei once thought that he knew Gu Shaokang very well, but in his heart, he always felt that there seemed to be something missing, and now that he thinks about it, maybe this is the difference.
