The Lawyer

Chapter 52: Power of Attorney (3)

"Chen Zhang?" Yan Suizhi wondered, "Is the name of George Manson's master diving instructor the same name? The same person or the same name and surname? What about the other information?"

Gu Yan: "That's all for now."

"Are you sure to use" some "to describe what is in my hand?" Yan Suizhi shook the solitary thin sheet of paper.

Generally speaking, the Union ’s Legal Aid Center sends a complete power of attorney, which will contain three parts-

The first is a brief overview of the case, which can explain which case, what nature, victim situation and party identity.

The second is to sue the relevant documents, which can let the appointed lawyer know the progress of the previous lawsuit and also understand how much preparation time he has.

The third part is a signed and signed notice. The notice is usually only a few sentences, and it is all formatted official nonsense.

In addition, when the letter of entrustment is sent, those thick case materials will also be served together, collected by the law firm's office assistant, and sent to the entrusted lawyer together.

This is the most common.

What Yan Suizhi gets now is the solitary "notification" part.

Apart from the name of the lawyer and the client, no other fart can be seen.

"Did the document leak?" Yan Sui said.

Gu Yan: "I have asked the assistant to ask."

Yan Suizhi pointed to his pseudonym, "By the way, did you write the wrong person? It's too late to regret now."

"..."

In fact, in addition to court lawyers who are practicing, the Legal Aid Center also has a backup list of all lawyers who are qualified as lawyers but are currently in the internship period. The letter of entrustment is not in the hands of the trainee lawyer.

Either there are special circumstances, or the entrustment has been directly rejected by multiple lawyers.

In short, it is relatively rare.

But Chen Zhang ’s name is too reminiscent of George Manson and the accident that happened to him.

"Is the case of George Manson already clear?" Yan Suizhi finished his guess and shook his head again. "No, it's a little too fast."

Gu Yan glanced at the smart clock of the whole galaxy on the office wall. The Lyra star where Yaba Island is located is a famous holiday star. It is very small. There is also a time difference with Decama. Since the last time I contacted Sheriff Kane, five days have passed on Decama's side, and Lyra Star has been in his early week.

Based on the efficiency of the police station over Lyra Star, a case usually takes about fifteen days from the occurrence of the incident to investigation and evidence collection to confirmation of the suspect. It took another ten days from the confirmation of the suspect to the prosecution to file a lawsuit, and then to the legal aid center to entrust the defendant with a lawyer.

So whether it is five days or more than a week, it is not long in front of such a time period.

Gu Yan thought about it and tried to dial Sheriff Kane's communication number. This time it didn't sound for a few seconds, the other party took it.

Neither of them is a person who likes to talk to each other in circles, and the mouth goes straight to the theme.

"What happened to George Manson?"

"Oh, over the past two days, I was overworked, and I forgot to tell you. George Manson is still lying in the rescue cabin. It's hard to say whether he can keep it. His physical foundation is too bad. The home is very strict, I am not convenient to say more. As for the case, it has been handed over to the higher police station, involving deliberate murder of me. The police station at this level has only primary investigative power. "Turn in." Sheriff Kane said, "It's been a few days. The communication numbers of your friends may be temporarily restricted, but it's almost a day or two."

Kane thought he was only worried about his friends, so he said briefly. Regarding the specific development of the case, which was not announced by the higher police station, he could not speak without authorization.

Of course Gu Yan knew this, and knew Kane's temper, so he didn't ask any more and simply hung up the communication after a few words.

"Listening to Kane's opinion, the case may indeed be closed." Yan Suizhi was a little surprised by the efficiency of the police station this time. "It seems that the Manson family is not under pressure."

"It may also be difficult to investigate." Gu Yan said.

Or both.

When the assistant's feedback was sent to Yan Suizhi, it was already the next morning.

Unfortunately, it just happened to catch up with the Union's preliminary review of first-level lawyer applicants. Early in the morning, Gu Yan and Hobbs went to the planet where the headquarter of the review committee was flying together with the senior affairs officer. They didn't come back in three or five days, and this kind of thing was not suitable for bringing intern.

"I verified with the center that the client is really no problem." The assistant explained to Yan Suizhi, "The case information has been integrated overnight. I will send it to you and receive it."

Soon, a pile of not-thick material spit out of the light brain, Yan Suizhi scanned it quickly, and only then did he understand why the police station was so efficient.

After the case of George Manson was transferred to the third district police station in Lyra, the police officers conducted a second round of inspection and evidence analysis overnight. The suspect quickly pointed to Chen Zhang, the diving coach of George Manson. While digging out his past experience, he discovered some entanglements with the Manson family and found criminal motives.

The smoothest part of this case is that Chen Zhang did not make too much sophistry and resistance. He was confessed on the spot when he was questioned. The content of the two confessions was the same, saving a lot of trouble.

In addition, the Manson family followed the crazy beeping like a desperation, which made the George Manson case the third fastest police case in history, and it was so fast that even the police officers themselves It's very dumb.

As the saying goes, having money can make Mo push the ghosts. After the high-pressure ambulance of the Mansons finished the police station, he immediately turned his gun and started to fight the prosecution and the court in the third district. Claiming that only the murderer was sanctioned, George Manson felt relieved to be able to wake up.

Involving human life, can the prosecution and the court refuse?

Obviously not.

So this layer of high pressure visually increased the speed of the entire process, and the lifting of the ban on other cases related personnel has not yet been completed, the case went to the circle of entrusted lawyers.

Throughout this entire process, Chen Zhang's attitude was very cooperative in the early stage and very negative in the later stage, and even gave up the right to independently appoint a lawyer.

So the case went through the legal aid center and fell into the hands of a trainee lawyer.

This intern is Yan Suizhi.

"Nguyen?" Locke, who was also thrown away by the teacher, sneaked into Lawyer Gu's office again in the evening.

Yan Suizhi raised his eyes and said, "How do you come back like a thief?"

"I heard you took the case?" Locke's expression looked like a weasel and was a little excited.

"Yes." Yan Suizhi nodded.

"What? Complex?"

Yan Suizhi looked at his expression and said cooperatively: "It's quite complicated."

"Really ?!" This time weasel has stolen the chicken. But soon he sighed again, "Hey-that's great, why didn't anyone shake my hand and give me one."

He was envious for a while, and then quickly diverted his attention, saying: "Yes, lawyer Gu is not here, don't you need to work overtime tonight?"

Yan Suizhi shook his head, "Preparing to pack up."

"That's right!" Locke said. "Last time you went to Yaba Island for two days. Wasn't the apartment I found for you cut off? The news from the landlord just said in the afternoon that it was cut off. The man changed his mind, so now the apartment is still empty. If you are fine at the moment, I can just take you to see it. "

In the past few days, because the residence has not yet been settled, Yan Suizhi still lives in Gu Yan.

It's just that Gu Yan either went to court or went on a short business trip these past few days, and went back to the law firm a few times during his delayed work in Buaba Island, but he barely lived in his house, and the two didn't have much time to meet.

"I'm afraid I won't do it today." Yan Suizhi stood up and collected all the case information into the light brain.

Locke froze: "Ah? Why?"

"Say it just now." Yan Suizhi smiled a little. "You have to pack things up. The office assistant just helped to book the shuttle ticket. I need to go to Lyra Star tomorrow."

"What are you doing to Lyra?" Locke was still at a loss.

Yan Suizhi flicked the light brain with his fingers and said, "Because of the case that my hand was shaking."

"So fast?" Locke said, "Aren't you waiting for Lawyer Gu to come back? Anyway, let him prepare for you. I heard from a graduated senior that he took part in the court trial for the first time and behaved in a mess and blushed. Egg, double-sided. "

"..."

Professor Yan Da may not know what it is like to blush in his life.

He exaggerated casually: "Oh? It's interesting, **** enough."

Locke: "..."

"Do you really plan to go alone?" Locke asked again.

That tone, as if Yan Suizhi was going to go to the court is not Huangquan Avenue.

"Huh." Yan Suizhi snorted with a smile, while putting on his coat and scarf, he said: "I can't wait for Lawyer Gu, the court time is a little tight here."

"When is the court going?"

"Next week." Yan Sui said.

"Isn't that a few days?" Locke exclaimed. "Why is it so fast? It doesn't make sense! Arranged a trainee lawyer, and only gave these few days to prepare time. Isn't that a final loss?"

After he finished, he paused for a moment, as if he suddenly understood something, and said: "Ah ... don't ..."

Why does the aid center shake hands to find a trainee lawyer?

Said it was rejected many times by the barrister, maybe ...

After all, defending the suspects, in those people's eyes, is to work against the victim's Manson family, there must be many people who are not happy.

But in such a short time, how many lawyers can they ask?

The greater possibility is that the Manson family put pressure on the police court and pointed the arrow at the aid center, so the aid center simply followed their intentions and gave up the experienced and risky lawyers and turned to the standby. Curry picked a trainee lawyer.

Ruan Ye's resume under this identity can't even make up two lines. At first glance, it's a mess, it's perfect.

This kind of situation of using trainee lawyers to pervert the trouble has not been seen before by Yan Suizhi, so I will understand one or two at a glance.

He also confirmed with Fitz in the afternoon. In the database of the aid center, his internship was hung under the name of Moore ’s lawyer, because the Southern Cross Law Firm assumed that Gu Yan was a temporary teacher, and Moore The lawyer's limelight is not very popular, and his intern is nothing special.

Locke stared blankly for a long time, holding out a sentence: "So looking for a trainee lawyer ... I guess you will lose?"

Yan Suizhi looked through the floor-to-ceiling window behind the desk and felt the coldness of the glass before going out. He pulled a scarf to cover his chin, then raised his lips and said: "Yeah, do you still envy?"

Locke almost shook his head away. "No way, you ... hey ... take care."

The next morning, Yan Suizhi took a light brain and simple luggage and sat on the shuttle to Lyra.

Traveling alone, this is really too familiar to him. He is so familiar that he has forgotten that he still bears the identity of an intern. The most important thing is that he forgot to report to the teacher.

Professor Yan Da has lived for so many years and has never had the habit of reporting to others. He didn't realize this at all for a while.

Until a communication was received on the shuttle.

Seeing the careful-eyed mint jumping on the screen, Yan Suizhi hesitated for two seconds, inexplicably a little illusory, but in a blink of an eye it disappeared.

He coughed and connected the communication, opening his mouth and saying straightforwardly: "I'm looking for you, but you will pick the time."

Especially very calm.

Gu Yan at the end of the communication: "..."

Ghosts?

But in this case, Lawyer Gu can only follow the words: "What is the case?"

There weren't many people on this shuttle, and the space next to Yan Suizhi was empty, but he still didn't have a hobby of talking on such occasions, so he made a few words about the key points, and I believe that the other party should understand everything.

Under the Joint Review Committee building, the Senior Affairs Officer carried a cup of coffee himself and handed another cup to Gu Yan.

Gu Yan wore ear buckles and opened the small lid of the coffee cup while humming low, and simply answered the person on the other side of the communication.

Until someone heard a comment from the ear ring to the aid center: "The persimmons are softly pinched."

"..."

Lawyer Gu choked his coffee in his throat.

"Eh? What's the matter?" The Senior Officer looked at him frowning and coughed a few times. "How come it choked well? Breathed the wind?"

Gu Yan waved his hand, and when he lifted his face, his expression was gone. "It's nothing. I heard a slap." After he finished speaking, he just hung up the communication without waiting for someone in the earring to react.

The persimmons were softly pinched ... and the result was Yan Suizhi.

What a vision.
