Marrying into a rich family again, the road to becoming a partner

In the detention center, the police were interrogating Li Wenjie.Li Wenjie, who had been interrogated for several hours, looked very tired. His bloodshot eyes and green stubble on his chin made him look more like a beast that was cornered.

"Li Wenjie, we hope you will recognize the situation clearly, cooperate with the police, and stop having any unrealistic illusions. It will not do you any good to resist stubbornly." Police officer Li Xiang issued an ultimatum to Li Wenjie.

"It's not me, I'm innocent." As if his strength had been exhausted, Li Wenjie did not argue fiercely, but just repeated this sentence weakly in his mouth.

"Innocent?!" Li Xiang glared at the murder suspect in front of him. Although he had just graduated from the police academy, he had already participated in the investigation and detection of many major cases.

Compared with the vicious criminals he had arrested before, Li Wenjie gave him a very different feeling.He couldn't tell what the specific difference was.

From his arrest to now, after several interrogations, Li Wenjie still insists that he is innocent.Li Xiang also thought about whether there might be another inside story about this case. He repeatedly investigated it many times, but all the evidence still pointed to Li Wenjie.

Li Xiang decided to put his subjective emotions aside, perform his duties, and let Li Wenjie plead guilty.

Li Xiang picked up the information on the table——

"Snapped"!

A stack of information was thrown heavily in front of Li Wenjie.

Li Xiang said sternly: "See for yourself, all the evidence can prove that you are the murderer!"

Li Wenjie looked through the evidence in front of him, and his hands began to tremble violently.His reaction was all seen by Li Xiang, and he changed his tone to a gentle tone:

"Li Wenjie, the law focuses on evidence. Even if you insist that you are innocent, the evidence will speak for itself. So, I hope you can seize the last opportunity to confess and strive for leniency. You have to know that you can speak out yourself, and When we found out, the nature is completely different."

Li Wenjie's vision began to blur, and his lips trembled as he was about to speak——

The door was pushed open.A woman wearing a dark green business dress with a one-line collar walked in. She did not look at Li Wenjie, but walked straight towards Li Xiang:

"Sorry, I am Le Yun, Li Wenjie's lawyer. What is the name of this police officer?"

"Li Xiang." Li Xiang's eyes swept over Le Yun without stopping for a moment.As a policeman, he didn't have a good impression of lawyers, let alone lawyers who came uninvited when he was interrogating prisoners.

He turned to Li Wenjie, "Li Wenjie, you have the right to hire a lawyer to defend you, but I must remind you..."

"Officer Li Xiang." Le Yun interrupted him, raised her voice and repeated, "Officer Li Xiang, please tell me what you want to remind me. I now fully represent my client."

Li Xiang glanced at Le Yun, but still ignored her, and continued to say to Li Wenjie: "This is your last chance to confess before the trial. Once you go to court, it will be too late for you to regret it!"

Before Li Wenjie could react, Le Yun immediately took over: "Officer Li, please step aside. I want to talk to my client alone."

Just as Li Xiang was about to say something, Le Yun immediately interrupted: "Officer Li!" She walked over to Li Wenjie, stood next to him, and repeated: "I want to talk to my client alone, please stay away. .”

Li Xiang met Le Yun's gaze, and the two looked at each other for a few seconds.He came to Li Wenjie, picked up the documents spread out on the table, and then walked out of the interrogation room.

Watching Li Wenjie walk out of the room and the door was closed again, Le Yun pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Hello Li Wenjie, I am Le Yun from Zonghan Law Firm, and I will be your representative lawyer from now on."

In court, Li Wenjie's case was heard for the first time.

In the corridor outside the court, Le Yun once again browsed the files and rehearsed her defense strategy in her mind like a running lantern. After confirming that everything was ready, she reached out and prepared to push open the court door.

at this time--

"Lawyer Le!"

Le Yun turned her head and stood behind her. The person who stopped her was Li Wenjie's newlywed wife. Her belly was obviously bulging.The hardships of pregnancy and the sudden lawsuit made her look even more haggard and even bloated.

"Lawyer Le, please give this to Wenjie." Li Wenjie's wife said and handed a piece of paper to Le Yun.

Le Yun took it and saw that it was a four-dimensional color ultrasound examination report.The baby in the picture was sucking the thumb of his right hand, and his cute look instantly melted Le Yun's heart.

Being a mother is what she looks forward to most after she and Zhang Xiao get married, but now...

"Wenjie has always wanted a daughter, but the color ultrasound showed that I was pregnant with a son." Wenjie's wife said with some regret.

"Don't worry," Le Yun comforted, "Sometimes, men don't know what they really want."

Li Wenjie's wife smiled gratefully, Le Yun said goodbye to her, and was about to walk inside——

"Lawyer Le."

Le Yun took back her steps, "Is there anything else?"

Li Wenjie's wife pursed her lips nervously, her shoulders trembling slightly, and her voice was filled with tears, "Do you think Wenjie will be fine?"

Le Yun thought for a moment, "We will try our best. Don't worry -" Le Yun raised the report sheet in her hand, "I will definitely pass it on to Wenjie."

Wenjie's wife nodded and said in a barely audible voice, "Thank you."

In the courtroom, on the side of the dock.

Le Yun handed the color Doppler ultrasound report sheet to Li Wenjie and said softly: "It's a boy."

Li Wenjie held the report sheet tightly and said nothing. Le Yun saw tears flashing in his eyes. She reached out and patted Wenjie's arm gently.

Although all the clues in this case are unfavorable to Wenjie, Le Yun is inclined to believe that Li Wenjie is innocent, whether it is her professional ethics as a lawyer or her own intuition.

The trial officially started, and prosecutor Zhang Yifan was cross-examining Li Xiang.

"Officer Li Xiang, what did you see when you arrived at the scene?" Zhang Yifan was full of energy and confidence, as if he was confident and sure of victory.

"The first thing we saw was the body of the victim."

Zhang Yifan picked up the remote control, and a picture of the victim Zhao Bin lying in a pool of blood appeared on the TV screen in the court. There was a commotion in the trial seat. Le Yun heard sobbing and followed the sound and looked over. It turned out to be the victim's family members. Come to the hearing.

Li Xiang continued, "The victim is the legal person of Luheng Investment Company. The crime scene was the underground parking lot where his company is located. Judging from the evidence currently available to the police, we initially believe that the victim was walking towards his car. He was shot dead. Since the surveillance system in the underground parking lot had a line failure two weeks ago, there was no way to retrieve the video surveillance."

"So Officer Li Xiang, when you arrived at the scene, did you see any other suspicious people besides the defendant?" Zhang Yifan methodically guided the witnesses to testify.

"No," Li Xiang shook his head, "Only the defendant Li Wenjie and the victim were together at that time."

"Officer Li Xiang, can you describe to the court the scene when you saw the defendant?"

"The defendant was squatting next to the victim covered in blood, with a gun placed at his feet. The forensic department identified the blood stains and the pistol. It was confirmed that the blood stains belonged to the deceased Zhao Bin, and that the gun was the murder weapon."

"That is to say, Li Wenjie used this gun to kill the victim, right?" Zhang Yifan lost no time in attacking.

"Dear judge, we object." Le Yun immediately protested, "I object to the prosecutor's intention to induce witnesses to testify."

"I withdraw." Zhang Yifan raised his hands in a gentlemanly manner, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly. Everything he had just seen was unexpected. He had been a lawyer for so long, and he had already become familiar with the techniques.He immediately reorganized his words, "Officer Li Xiang, based on the evidence currently available, the police think how Zhao Bin was killed."

"After forensic identification, the victim Zhao Bin was shot by two 9mm bullets, one of which was fired at close range and hit the victim's neck, causing a rupture of the arteries in the neck and death from excessive blood loss.

"The information we provided to the court shows that the police confirmed that both bullets were fired from a pistol found on the ground at the scene, which is the gun that Officer Li Xiang just said was placed at the feet of the defendant, and the gun was The defendant's fingerprints were also left on it. Is the above true, Officer Li Xiang?" Zhang Yifan deliberately added an accent to the word "defendant."

Li Xiang nodded, "It's true."

From the corner of her eye, Le Yun saw Li Wenjie lowering his head.

"I would like to ask Officer Li Xiang, how was the defendant Li Wenjie's mood when you were interrogating him?" Zhang Yifan continued to cross-examine.

"The defendant appeared very nervous and agitated."

"The defendant was the victim's bodyguard. It is normal for him to have emotional fluctuations after something like this happened."

Hearing what Zhang Yifan said, Le Yun felt nervous. After many battles in court, she knew that Zhang Yifan was taking retreat to advance. Sure enough——

"The police identified Li Wenjie as the murderer of Zhao Bin. Of course, it was not just because of his nervousness and anxiety. Is there a sufficient motive?"

"Yes." Li Xiang leaned forward and moved himself closer to the microphone. "The defendant Li Wenjie invested all his and his wife's savings into Zhao Bin's investment projects, and lost them all."

"Please explain in detail."

"Luheng Investment Company is jointly run by Zhao Bin and his partners. It has recently been one of the biggest victims of the Ponzi scheme in this city. The company's financial situation has been deeply affected, and Li Wenjie, as a client, also lost his investment principal."

"This is what the police determined to be Li Wenjie's motive for murder."

"Yes."

"Thank you, Officer Li Xiang." Zhang Yifan turned to the trial seat, bowed slightly and said, "Dear judge, I have no other questions." Then he sat back in the prosecutor's box.

"Officer Li Xiang," Le Yun stood up with a smile.

As Chen Zonghan said, Le Yun was born to be a lawyer.Once she stepped into the courtroom, she was gleaming with light.

"Let's continue talking about what you just said about Li Wenjie's motive for murder. You just said that Luheng Investment Company caused my client to lose 9 yuan, right?"

Li Xiang shook his head, "My impression is yes, but the specific number still depends on the report."

"I know." Le Yun smiled at him and said affirmatively, "It is indeed RMB 9. But, do you know how much money Luheng Investment Company caused other customers to lose in this Ponzi scheme? ?”

Li Xiang shook his head again, "I don't know."

"8 million yuan. In fact -" Le Yun turned to the audience, "As far as I know, half of the people who came to the hearing today are clients of Luheng Investment Company. Zhao Bin and his partners lost all their money." No return.”

There were waves of echoing voices from the audience listening to the trial.Some people even had the courage to applaud Li Wenjie for avenging them, so much so that the judge had to ask for silence.

"Objection! Dear judge," Zhang Yifan lost his previous calmness and could clearly hear the panic, "What the defense lawyer said has nothing to do with this case."

"I withdraw." Le Yun treated the other person in his own way.She continued, "Officer Li Xiang, if investment losses could constitute a motive for killing the victim, wouldn't there be thousands of suspects?"

"However, these 'suspects' you called were not seen in the parking lot when the murder occurred, and there were no fingerprints on the murder weapon." Li Xiang retorted.

Le Yun nodded, and she began to turn to another entry point of the defense strategy, "According to the investigation data, Zhao Bin carried 10 yuan in cash with him on the night of the murder. So, I would like to ask Officer Li Xiang, did you find this 10 yuan in cash at the crime scene? ?”

"No."

Hearing Li Xiang's answer, Le Yun knew that it was time for her to fight back, so she immediately asked, "It is understood that the police arrested my client on the spot, and the police conducted searches on my client's bank account and home. After multiple searches, the money was never found. So, would you like to ask Officer Li Xiang, how do the police explain the mysterious disappearance of 10 in cash?

"We are still investigating." Li Xiang said this reluctantly, almost gritting his teeth.

The first counterattack was successful.Le Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She pursued the victory, "Officer Li Xiang, on the day of the incident, you found my client when you arrived at the scene. In your words, he was squatting next to the victim with blood all over his body. So, what was he doing at that time? What?"

"I don't understand what you mean." Li Xiang said coldly.

"Then I'll explain it more specifically," Le Yun looked at Li Xiang, paused briefly, and when everyone's attention was focused on her, she said unhurriedly: "Have you seen it with your own eyes? My client killed the deceased with a gun?"

"No." Li Xiang's mood became obviously a little anxious.

"Then, please describe what my client Li Wenjie was doing when you saw him."

Li Xiang lowered his head and said reluctantly: "I am performing cardiac resuscitation on the deceased Zhao Bin."

"Officer Li Xiang," Li raised his head in response and met Le Yun's burning eyes. He was shocked by the defense lawyer's momentum. He only heard Le Yun continue to ask: "Based on your experience in handling cases, this is the murderer." Is this a normal behavior?"

It was like a thunder exploded above Li Xiang's head.He suddenly understood why he had always felt that Li Wenjie was different from other criminals.He only felt that his throat was tight and he couldn't say a word.

Seeing that Li Xiang was speechless while being cross-examined by Le Yun, the prosecutor quickly stood up and said, "I object! The defense lawyer deliberately induced the witness."

Without waiting for the judge to make a ruling, Le Yun turned to the judge's seat and bowed.

"Dear Judge, I have no further questions."

In the hearing room, Li Wenjie's friend Lu Yin, the president of Hitotsubashi Group, remembered the female lawyer named Le Yun.
