Chapter 244 The trip to the South Island, the opponent is a high-level inspection?

   South Island.

  The area south of the Dragon Kingdom is the largest island in the southern archipelago.

  Nandao City is the largest city in the southern waters of Longguo, and one of the most famous island tourist cities in Longguo.

  The number of tourists received every year accounts for almost 1/4 of the total population of Longguo, and Nandao City is also known as the Pearl of the South China Sea of ​​Longguo.

   As early as when he was studying in Dongfangdu, Zhang Wei heard that many young people yearned to travel to the South Island.

   But what I didn't expect was that the first time I came to the South Island, it was not because of tourism, but because of the case!

  South Island, Mingyue District.

   Inside a women's detention center.

  Zhang Wei sat in the meeting room and glanced at the clock on the wall at the same time.

   He has been waiting here for more than half an hour, but the person to meet has not yet appeared.

   "What's wrong with this Lin Xiangwan, why did you keep me waiting for so long?"

   Looking at the time again, Zhang Wei was helpless.

   If it was him before, he would not have such patience.

  If the client or client dares to break the appointment, he will leave on the spot, because he dislikes people who have no concept of time.

   But now, this case is related to his ability to become an ace lawyer, so Zhang Wei has shown enough patience and tolerance.

   After another 5 minutes, on the other side of the meeting room, the door finally opened.

   I saw a woman wearing a detention suit but with light makeup on her face walking over.

  Although her complexion is a little weak, her makeup is surprisingly good, just like some women in the workplace dress up specially to meet clients.

   "What's the matter, you are not the eldest brother and the second brother?" Seeing Zhang Wei, the woman was disappointed.

   "That's it, I said why did you keep me waiting for so long, so you thought it was Lin Xiangtian or Lin Xiangrong that you were going to see today, so you dressed up specially!"

   Zhang Wei finally understood when he heard the woman's exclamation.

"Who are you?"

   "I'm your defense attorney, my name is Zhang Wei, from Jincheng Law Firm!"

   Zhang Wei said and made a gesture of please.

   "Ms. Lin, don't delay, please sit down, I still need to know the situation of the case from you!"

"condition?"

  Lin Xiangwan shook his head, but still obeyed Zhang Wei's suggestion and sat down.

   "The situation is that I killed my husband. Although I don't remember the situation at the time, my fingerprints were all on the murder weapon, and there were only two of us on the yacht at the time..."

   Hearing what Lin Xiangwan said, Zhang Wei immediately took out the case summary in his hand and turned to the page of the murder weapon.

  The murder weapon is a portable fire extinguisher, made of metal, with a clear depression on the bottle.

   And the autopsy report of the deceased also stated that the deceased's head had been bludgeoned.

   "I know, this fire extinguisher was the weapon that hit the deceased's head, and the deceased was your husband, but when you were questioned by the investigation department, you claimed that you didn't remember anything, right?"

   "Yes, even now, I can't remember what happened at that time. My memory is very confusing. There are always some strange images flashing when I sleep, and when I wake up, I can't remember all of them."

   "Then let me repeat the case!"

   Zhang Wei said, looking at the case summary in his hand, and slowly said word by word:

   "On the evening of the 9th of this month, you and your husband Jia Shiqing set off on a yacht from the pier of the beach villa in Wangyuewan to play in the sea. On the morning of the 10th, you returned to the villa alone, but your husband disappeared."

"On the evening of the 10th, the Mingyue District Wushu Association received a report that a man's body was found on the beach near Mingyue Port. It was your husband Jia Shiqing. After a forensic investigation, it was found that your husband was in a coma due to a blunt blow and then fell. Died by suffocation in the sea."

"On the morning of the 11th, the Criminal Investigation Department came to your residence for routine inquiries, and found blood on the yacht that the two of you were on at that time, and found the murder weapon that bludgeoned your husband's head - a portable fire extinguisher, the worst It was on the fire extinguisher that found your fingerprints, and only yours."

   "Just 24 hours later, the Criminal Investigation Division applied for a warrant to arrest you on second-degree murder charges."

   Zhang Wei said this, and looked at Lin Xiangxiang again: "And your defense is that...you don't remember anything at that time?"

   "I just don't remember anything, my head was a mess in those days, and if it wasn't for my nanny reminding me, I wouldn't even remember the name Jia Shiqing!"

   Zhang Wei sneered after hearing this: "But in my opinion and others, you want to use mental problems to get rid of the second-degree murder charge. Do you want the prosecution to charge you with manslaughter?"

   "What's the difference between murder and manslaughter, they all kill people anyway!"

"That's not the same. Murder is a premeditated and motivated homicide, and manslaughter is without premeditated or even no intention to kill. The former is very likely to be sentenced to life imprisonment, with the upper limit of the death penalty, while the latter, if the circumstances are less severe, will be sentenced to 3-7 years. You can come out, the gap between the years in prison is too big."

   "Are you making fun of me?" Lin Xiangwan noticed the joke in Zhang Wei's mouth, and her face immediately turned cold.

"Ms. Lin, I just think you didn't tell me the truth, because the investigation department also invited a psychiatrist to make an evaluation report on you. They think that you have no problem with your spirit. Except for being a little tired, there is nothing abnormal. You will be charged with second degree murder, not manslaughter, or wrongful death!"

"and…"

  Zhang Wei smiled again, "And that's killing people. You told me that you don't remember anything. This is too exaggerated!"

   "Ms. Lin, you are a business elite of the Jincheng Group, the third sister of the Lin family, you should have a strong psychological quality, because you have "intermittent amnesia" because of being frightened. This is obviously impossible, right? "

   "Then what do you think I should say?"

   Lin Xiangwan's tone became a little impatient.

   He found that the boy in front of him seemed to be mocking him, and had no self-consciousness to be his own lawyer.

   "I only care about the truth!"

   Zhang Wei raised a finger, "If you premeditatedly killed your husband, then I will persuade you to plead guilty!"

   "Even if Lin Xiangtian asked me to come to the South Island to help his sister get rid of the suspicion of murder, I will not help a criminal with premeditated murder to defend his innocence, I will only persuade him to plead guilty."

   "So I want to ask clearly, Ms. Lin, please answer me this question carefully after careful consideration!"

   Zhang Wei's tone suddenly became serious, and his eyes looked at Lin Xiangwan.

   "Ms. Lin, did you ever think about killing your husband Jia Shiqing at some point?"

   Lin Xiangwan's eyes gradually flashed solemnity, she closed her eyes, then opened them again, and then sighed.

"My husband is a novelist, and in popular terms, he is a dead man. He has worked so hard to write a manuscript for several months, and every time he goes out, he is full of confidence, and as a result, no publishing house is willing to Buy his manuscript for publication."

"He and I have been married for 3 years, and I have raised him almost entirely. Although he is useless and unsatisfactory in my opinion, my two brothers say he is a burden and a useless person, but I never thought about getting rid of him. burden."

   "Because I'm a strong woman, I don't think my other half needs to be very capable. Of course, people who are incompetent like him are actually rare."

   "Oh, it turned out to be a soft rice eater!"

   Hearing this, Zhang Wei nodded, "A man like this can find a rich woman, there is still hope in this world, huh?"

   "Lawyer Zhang, please be serious!"

   "Oh, I'm sorry, just think I was just joking, it's too serious here, calm down the atmosphere."

   Zhang Wei said, and hurriedly analyzed it with a pretense:

"You're actually right, if you want to get rid of this useless bastard, there are totally a hundred feasible ways. The easiest way is to divorce, and Jincheng Law has hundreds of excellent lawyers for you to send, and you don't need to use the most unwise method at all. Deal with your husband."

   "By the way, have you ever had intermittent amnesia before?"

"no!"

  Lin Xiangwan shook his head with certainty, "The old man has always praised me for being smart and capable. If I have this kind of problem, how can the performance of Jincheng Group increase year by year?"

   "Although I know it's not good to speak ill of my two brothers, but I think my abilities are better than my two brothers. If I were not an adopted daughter, I am confident that the heir of the Jincheng Group will definitely be me!"

   "Hahaha, well said!"

   Hearing the confident words of the woman in front of him, Zhang Wei laughed: "Thank you for your frankness, Ms. Lin, I think you are right, your ability must be better than my boss!"

   "What about my case?"

   "Don't worry, I will take your case. As for how to help you, I need to know more about this case, but I don't think you are likely to commit murder of your husband. Your case should have another secret!"

   "Lawyer Zhang, what shall we do next?"

   "It's very simple, I'll apply for bail for you first, you can't help me in the detention center!"

  The meeting between Zhang Wei and Lin Xiangwan is over.

  …

at the same time.

  Nandao City District Attorney General Administration, a high inspection office.

  Lu Wenwen, a well-known senior prosecutor in Nandao City, is working at the desk.

   "Dong Dong Dong..."

   There was a knock on the door.

   "Please come in!" She didn't raise her head, but simply responded.

  A female prosecutor who looked 26 or 17 years old and wore a thick spectacle frame walked into the high prosecutor's office with a stack of documents.

"Lu Gao, I'm Wei Min from the Mingyue District Prosecutor's Office. The case in my hand has been designated to be transferred to you. At the same time, my boss also asked me to assist you in the investigation of this case, so for the next period of time , I am your assistant in this case!"

   "What case needs to be dispatched by a high-level prosecutor, and an assistant prosecutor must be dispatched to be my assistant?"

  Lu Wenwen took the file from the person in front of her and casually opened a page.

   "It's Lin Xiangwan's murder case. Isn't this case your Mingyue District is responsible for?"

   "Yes, but just now, my leader asked me to come to you!"

  Wei Min looked helpless and smiled awkwardly: "Although I raised an objection and believed that I could be responsible for this case independently, the leaders seem to not accept my request!"

  Lu Wenwen was a little puzzled, raised her eyes and asked, "The evidence in this case is solid, it can even be said to be iron-clad, and you are not a rookie prosecutor, why can't you figure it out?"

   "This...I don't know?"

The latter scratched his head, but smiled again: "But this is obviously not a bad thing, I have long admired the name of Lu Gaojian, and being able to study under you for a period of time is a rare opportunity, and my colleagues all envy me. Woolen cloth!"

  Lu Wenwen didn't have any reaction after listening to it, because she listened to the work committee a lot.

   Instead, she focused her attention on the case in hand.

Jingle Bell!

   Suddenly, the landline phone in front of her rang.

   "Hey, where is it?"

   "Junior sister, it's me, Lan Zhengye!"

   "Brother Lan?"

   Hearing the voice on the phone, Lu Wenwen was slightly surprised.

  Because the person on the opposite side is a high-level inspector at the Eastern Metropolitan Prosecution Headquarters. Although she is at the same level as herself, her side is the Municipal General Administration, and the other side is the Southern Headquarters.

   What's more, Lan Zhengye has always been a powerful figure in school, and she, Lu Wenwen, once admired each other.

   But I didn't expect that the two didn't communicate much after graduation. I didn't expect that the other party would call today.

   "Sister Lu, you have to be careful about this case!"

   "What case, do you mean the case of Lin Xiangwan?"

  Lu Wenwen thought for a moment and then understood the ins and outs of the whole thing.

  Why did Wei Min transfer the case from the District Prosecutor's Office to the General Administration, and why did Lan Zhengye make a phone call from thousands of miles away? It turned out to be because of this case.

   As far as she knows, Lin Xiangwan is from the Lin family in Dongfang Du, and Lan Zhengye is also in Dongfang Capital, so the other party must know the energy of the Lin family.

   Obviously, the Lin family will not let Lin Xiangwan plead guilty and go to jail, so they will send someone to deal with this matter.

   "Thank you for your concern, but I am confident that I will handle this case well. No matter how many people come from the Lin family, I am not afraid!"

   "No, I didn't tell you to be careful of the Lin family, I'm the defense lawyer who asked you to be careful about this case!"

   On the other end of the phone, Lan Zhengye rubbed his forehead, and then said awkwardly, "This man is Zhang Wei, a criminal defense lawyer at Jincheng Law Firm, he is very tricky!"

   "Very tricky?"

   "Yes, very tricky, I also lost to him because of a case before!"

   "Senior brother also lost?"

  Lu Wenwen finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

  Lan Zhengye was in the school, but he was a top performer. After joining the prosecution, his record was even more remarkable.

   is such a person, who would think a defense lawyer is difficult?

   "Junior sister, you have to be careful. According to the news I received, Zhang Wei has been leaving for a long time. I think he has arrived in your Nandao City!"

   "Don't worry, brother, we can't lose this time!"

  Lu Wenwen and Lan Zhengye ended the call, and at the same time wrote the name of "Zhang Wei" in her notebook.

   She knew that this person would be her opponent in the next case.

"Jingle Bell!"

   The phone rang again.

   "What, Bail Court?"

   "The defense attorney has submitted a bail application. What's that attorney's name?"

   "Zhang Wei, it really is him, he came so fast!"

  Lu Wenwen put down the phone again, then looked at the female prosecutor in front of her.

   This is his next assistant.

   "Go, let's go to the bail court to meet this Zhang Wei for a while!"

  …

After 30 minutes.

  South Island City, Municipal Court Bail Court.

  When Lu Wenwen brought Wei Min to the court, she happened to see Zhang Wei and Lin Xiangwan, who was neatly dressed, come here.

   "Go, go up and say hello!"

  Lu Wenwen took the lead and walked towards Zhang Wei.

   On the other side, Zhang Wei has just submitted the materials and is about to say something to his client.

   "Hostile!"

   He felt a little bit, looked to one side, and saw a black suit woman in her thirties with her head almost raised.

   "This posture looks like a prosecutor, and there is an assistant next to him. This woman is obviously not low-level, and she seems to be coming at me."

   "She's not bad, she walks with wind, and she is full of confidence. She should be an ace prosecutor who often wins cases... Judging from her appearance, maybe she is a senior prosecutor..."

   As Zhang Wei looked at him, Lu Wenwen brought Wei Min to him.

   "Is that Zhang Wei lawyer?"

   "I'm Zhang Wei, who are you?"

   "My name is Lu Wenwen. I'm a senior inspector of the Nandao City District Attorney's Office. In Ms. Lin's case, the two of us happen to be opponents."

   "Oh, so that's the case, then Mr. Lu Gao, I need your advice on this case!"

  Zhang Wei understood, it turned out to be the gauntlet.

   And Lu Wenwen was also looking at Zhang Wei.

   looks normal and very young!

   Young too!

   The defense lawyer in front of him looked really young, three or four years younger than Wei Min behind him, and looked like a rookie who had just graduated from law school.

   Brother, did you make a mistake?

   This was Lu Wenwen's first thought.

  Because of such a young lawyer, how could he cause trouble for Lan Zhengye?

   "Wei Min, check the news of Dongfang Capital, and focus on the names of Zhang Wei and Lan Zhengye!"

   She turned around and ordered, Wei Min immediately turned on her phone and searched.

   Soon, the search results appeared.

   Wei Min just glanced at it and handed the search results to Lu Wenwen.

   "It's true, and the photos are right!"

   In the search results, photos of Zhang Wei and Lan Zhengye appeared, and the words "high inspection" and "failure" were written on the title.

   This time, Lu Wenwen finally stopped calm.

   "Lin Xiangwan!"

   At this moment, the bail court finally called out Zhang Wei's case.

   Zhang Wei hurried to the bail court.

   "Go, let's go too!"

  Lu Wenwen also brought Wei Min forward.

   Bail Court.

   "Defendant Lin Xiangwan is suspected of second-degree murder. Does the defense need bail?"

"Your Excellency, my client is the executive president of Jincheng Group. When I come to South Island, I need to deal with commercial orders worth hundreds of millions. There are still many jobs to be processed. These jobs can bring billions of profits to South Island City. , creating thousands of jobs, so hopefully the judge will grant bail?"

   "Where's the prosecution?"

   "Your Excellency, the defendant is suspected of murder, and all the evidence points to her as the murderer. Do you want a murder suspect to step into society? And she is not a native of the South Island, so she has the risk of absconding."

  Lu Wenwen naturally refused to give in an inch.

"Your Majesty, my client has her own house in Mingyue District, Nandao, and she promises that she will never leave Nandao City during the investigation of this case. Similarly, my client has a high reputation in Nandao City, and is one An honest businessman, she donated tens of millions of charitable donations to South Island City in the last year alone."

   Zhang Wei said, picked up a document and handed it to the bail judge.

   "Your Excellency, this is a letter of guarantee signed by President Lin of the Dongfang Capital Lawyers Association. He guarantees in the name of the chairman of the Dongfang Capital Lawyers Association that my client will never commit any illegal acts during the adjudication of the case!"

   The bail judge originally wanted to give Lu Wenwen some face, but after seeing the "very heavy" guarantee provided by Zhang Wei, he immediately changed his mind.

"After consideration, this court believes that the risk of Ms. Lin Xiangwan absconding in fear of crime is extremely low. In addition, with the guarantee letter from the president of the East Metropolitan Lawyers Association as a reference, this court approves Ms. Lin's bail in court. As for the amount of bail, since President Lin is guaranteed, this The court allows Ms. Lin to guarantee her personality!"

   Seeing this result, Zhang Wei nodded with satisfaction.

   Lu Wenwen, who was next door, narrowed her eyes and noticed the difficulty of the person in front of her.

   As expected of the person who made her senior brothers frustrated, she did have two strokes!
