Dean Li was a little confused.

He had no idea he would be the first to be named.

As usual, meetings attended by both the public security organs, prosecutors, and the judiciary will generally follow the litigation process. The public security organs will first introduce the case and the investigation process, and issue preliminary handling opinions; then the procuratorate will further characterize, analyze, and demonstrate the evidence in the case, and propose supplementary improvements. According to the requirements of the chain of evidence, and opinions on whether to approve the arrest, prosecution and sentencing; finally, the court will take over the baton.

After all, the position of the court is there - in litigation, it is the last hurdle, in the court, it is in the position of the central judge - all decisions, whether criminal or civil, must hear the original defendant, the prosecution It will be made only after sufficient arguments from both sides of the defense.

Therefore, not only Dean Li and Judge Mo were confused, but also colleagues from the Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate did not expect that the court would be the first to speak during this case discussion.

Fortunately, Dean Li, like Zhao Jian, came from a front-line background in handling cases, and had been in charge of the criminal court for many years, so business problems were not a problem for him.

Seeing everyone's eyes turned towards him, Dean Li made a quick decision, quickly adjusted his emotions, and turned his confusion into frowning and contemplative.

Three seconds later, he gave his answer.

"Director Yang, it's like this. According to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, all cases that may be sentenced to life imprisonment or death should be under the jurisdiction of the Intermediate People's Court. County A Court is only a grassroots court. Without seeing the case file materials and evidence, it only hears I cannot answer your questions in the context of the case report.”

Director Yang was obviously not satisfied with this answer. He stared at Dean Li with an unhappy expression: "In other words, whether Zhang Qing can be sentenced to death depends on the decision of the A County Court?"

Dean Li explained good-naturedly: "You can't say that. What I mean is that whether you can impose the death penalty requires comprehensive research and careful analysis, and you can't make a hasty conclusion..."

"okay!"

Director Yang interrupted Dean Li unceremoniously: "We are all our own people here, so there is no need to talk about the situation. In the final analysis, the court is just afraid of taking responsibility. What kind of prudent analysis?

When Zhang Qing killed someone, did she conduct comprehensive research and judgment? Has she thought carefully about it? Has she gone through any approval process? Don't you just want to kill? You are just kicking the ball and have no sense of responsibility, which leads to repeated vicious cases like this..."

Bai Xiaowei always looked down at the case record book in front of her. When she heard what Director Yang said, she frowned slightly and felt a little blocked.

"Director Yang..."

"Director Yang..."

Two familiar voices spoke in unison, one from Dean Li and the other from the opposite side, President Mo.

Bai Xiaowei raised her eyes and looked at the silver-haired President Mo - the President of the Criminal Court who has been fighting on the front line all year round and is about to retire, but is as energetic as the young people. He always uses his dedicated attitude, professional and profound knowledge, His upright personality affects many legal professionals.

Director Yang looked at President Mo: "Who are you?"

Dean Li was the first to introduce him: "Let me introduce you. This is Mo Xinyuan, the president of the Criminal Division of our court."

He looked at President Mo: "Old Mo, if you have any opinions, please share them with us."

When Director Yang heard the identity of President Mo, his displeased expression was slightly restrained. After looking at President Mo up and down, he smiled and said: "Yes, yes, you have to ask professionals for professional questions. So, may I ask President Mo, can Zhang Qing judge?" The death penalty?"

Does this mean that Dean Li is unprofessional?

Bai Xiaowei noticed that after hearing this sentence, familiar people exchanged glances.

President Mo sighed imperceptibly, took off his reading glasses, and said solemnly, "Evidence is important in handling cases, and all conclusions must be based on facts and the law."

"What I shouldn't say is that as a judge, I shouldn't have participated in today's case discussion. It's not because I'm afraid of taking responsibility, but I want to put an end to preconceptions and judgment before trial."

Listening to President Mo's words, Director Yang's smile became weaker and weaker.

He looked at President Mo with sharp eyes: "What does President Mo mean?"

President Mo looked at him: "My point is very clear. The court should not even participate in such discussions, let alone say whether to impose the death penalty? This is simply ridiculous!"

Director Yang's voice was stern, and his tone was full of accusations: "Dean Li, what does your court mean?"

Before Dean Li could speak, Judge Mo directly responded: "The judiciary is independent. Even if Director Yang is a senior official, he can't stretch his hand too far."

"You -" Director Yang slammed the table angrily, "You're so contrary! Just wait, I will contact the Discipline Inspection Commission now to punish you."

President Mo stood up slowly and began to clear away the pens and notebooks on the table. After finishing, he glanced around and said with an arrogant expression, "Please do so."

After saying this, he stopped lingering and turned around to leave, leaving everyone with an aloof and aloof figure.

Bai Xiaowei silently gave President Mo a thumbs up in her heart - President Mo, a role model for our generation!

"It's the opposite!"

Master Yang, who had never been humiliated like this before, or in front of so many people, was so angry that he kept pounding the table and demanded that Dean Li give him an explanation.

Although Dean Li looks down on Director Yang's style, as the leader of the court, he must consider and take into account the overall situation and cannot act willfully.

However, it was impossible for him to punish President Mo without conscience.

For a while, all I could do was apologize to President Mo.

But Director Yang was unyielding and would not give up until he punished President Mo. Dean Li was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Director Yang, don't be angry."

At this moment, Zhao Jian's calm voice sounded in the conference room, saving Dean Li from a dilemma.

Dean Li glanced at Zhao Jian gratefully. Zhao Jian did not look at him, but only looked at Director Yang gently: "Since today is a case discussion, it is natural to listen to the opinions of three parties. How can Director Yang favor one over the other and only pay attention to the court?" What’s your opinion?”

Director Yang seemed to have noticed Zhao Jian just now. On his left was Dean Li, on his right was Director Xu, and Zhao Jian was sitting far away from him.

"Inspector Zhao," Director Yang's expression was still sulky and his tone was not good, "The court said that we should put an end to preconceptions and judgments before trial. Does your procuratorate have such rules?"
