My days as a landlord in Gotham
Chapter 31 This Tenant...Smart!
(land)
Although Andre is not a partner in a big law firm, nor is he a senior barrister with amazing qualifications, the judicial procedures in the United States still guarantee the rights of such independent lawyers.
Prosecutors and police can be 'busy'
and other reasons to delay the meeting between the suspect and the lawyer, but they absolutely do not have the guts to refuse the meeting between the suspect and the lawyer, especially after the suspect has made it clear that he will remain silent before meeting the lawyer, the prosecutor or the police will take the initiative to stop. Forensics.
Because continuing to entangle will only result in "fruit of the poisonous tree"
In the end, his evidence was dismissed by the judge in court.
At that time, the responsibility for letting the criminal go will be on his own head, which is not conducive to his career.
So Andre met Li Lei very smoothly, and Li Lei was waiting for Andre in the interrogation room with his whole body wet.
"my God!
They actually acted abusively towards you?
I'm going to complain about them to the Bar Association and Judicial Ethics Committee! "
Seeing Li Lei's distressed appearance, Andre thought that the people from the District Prosecutor's Office had already tortured and extorted a confession regardless of face.
Regardless of the design of the relevant systems in the United States is indeed perfect enough, but as long as people implement these systems, there will be various problems.
Don't think that under the fair and just American judicial system, there is no torture to extract confessions. In fact, many police officers and prosecutors in the United States have a history of taking aggressive actions against suspects.
But Li Lei is a wealthy minority citizen with a clean record. Normally, prosecutors and the police are more polite to such people.
"There should be surveillance here, and I'm going to preserve the evidence."
"Okay, Andre, I'm fine here."
Li Lei comforted, "They just asked me to come over to assist in the investigation of the case."
"assist investigation?
Then it would be good to issue a co-investigation order.
According to regulations, only those who repeatedly refuse to assist in the investigation without reason will be detained.
And you are not only not assisting in the investigation, but also not arresting, but arresting! "
Andre pointed out the key points.
Li Lei's identity is a witness regardless of assisted investigation or arrest; if he is arrested, Li Lei's identity is a criminal suspect.
"Where did you learn the law?
I really doubt how you got licensed to practice law in NY and NJ. "
Hearing Andre's reminder, Li Lei discovered the difference.
Li Lei does have a lot of lawyer-related knowledge in his mind, but he has never read and used it on his own initiative. Therefore, Li Lei actually knows a little bit more than ordinary people.
"However, it doesn't matter if I am a criminal suspect now, at least you can ask for my release on bail.
In my position, I didn't even have to pay any bail to get out.
If the District Attorney's office refuses, you remember to find a white judge to apply for bail.
In addition, you'd better help me apply for a writ of habeas corpus. I think the police and the local prosecutor's office will not be able to bear the pressure from the mayor and come to trouble me.
Instead of constantly pestering them, it's better to do it all at once. "
"Well, your lawyer's mind is finally coming back a little bit."
Andre nodded.
Andre also praised Li Lei's request to find a white judge in his heart.
Although liberals and conservatives each occupy half of the judiciary in the United States, it is interesting that white judges (especially young and middle-aged judges)
The proportion of people who lean towards liberals is much higher than that of minorities.
In comparison, young white judges are more willing to show their political correctness.
In contrast, minority judges (especially Asians)
The person who loves to embarrass his own group the most.
For example, in the investigation of a shooting case that just ended in New York City, it was obvious that the result of the New York police internal investigation was an accident, and even the judge accepted the investigation.
However, an Asian female prosecutor insisted on filing a lawsuit against three of the Asian police officers, and finally forced the three Asian police officers to resign.
So the Asian female prosecutor brushed up a wave of "justice"
But the families of three Asian police officers are on the verge of bankruptcy.
Generally speaking, police officers are a shortcut for many lower classes to get promoted to the middle class. After all, the treatment and benefits of police stations in big cities like New York City are very generous. Not only the police officers themselves can benefit a lot, but even Can benefit his wife and children.
For example, it was an Asian judge who issued the arrest warrant for Li Lei this time. If it was a white judge, he would never agree to such an arrest application.
Li Lei's family background is clean enough, coupled with his contribution to the community, if there is no solid evidence, the judge will not agree to arrest such a model citizen.
But the judge, who is of Asian descent like Li Lei, did it for the "sense of justice"
And I deliberately agreed to Li Lei's arrest warrant, in order to tell the world, you see, I will not spare even my own people, so I am the embodiment of justice.
Fortunately, Andre still had means, and he quickly settled Li Lei's bail.
After sending Li Lei home, he said that he would apply for habeas corpus as soon as possible, "I must remind you that there are many rumors about you in the underworld.
If you want to live to see the sun rise and set for the next few years, then you better not leave your house.
In addition, I will apply for protection with the police, hoping that they can at least stop those radicals on the surface.
Finally, is the murderer really you? "
"Do you think it's me too?
I can tell you very clearly that Domoto Ryoichi was not killed by me. "
Li Lei replied.
"That's enough.
I am your lawyer and I must know the truth of the matter. "
Andre nodded to show that he understood.
"You should also be careful recently. If they know that you are my lawyer, I guess there will be a lot of people who will come to trouble you."
Li Lei told Andre with some worry.
"If you really feel the danger, you can move to my place to stay temporarily."
"No need, you only have two bedrooms, and I heard that you seem to be running some kind of homestay, so there should be no room for me, right?"
Andre refused, "First of all, I'm allergic to living in the same room as a man; second, I'm afraid that the girl I brought back will be abducted by you; finally, there are many people in Gotham City who want to trouble me, absolutely Not much less than this time.
So instead of worrying about my safety, you might as well worry about your own.
Well, remember to lock the doors and windows when you go to bed at night. "
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Andre, Li Lei gave up. After all, Li Lei also knew that Andre's bond with the underground forces was much deeper than his own.
You must know that Andre is the defender of many underground forces in Gotham, so Li Lei guessed that Andre definitely has his own protection and life-saving means, so Li Lei is not worried about his safety anymore.
After watching Andre start the car and leave, Li Lei closed and locked the door.
As long as heavy weapons are not used, Li Lei's house is strong enough; and even if there are heavy weapons, Li Lei's landlord privileges are enough to protect the safety of the place.
Li Lei returned to the basement. At this time, the Red Queen had collected a lot of information. Watson was looking at the information there, and Hamada Hiroshi said to Li Lei, "When you didn't come back, a strange person came to our room Peek outside.
Because he turned off the power supply of this community, he can affect our monitoring.
Little do they know that the monitor connected there is a power supply device that is automatically connected to the street lamp, and the power supply of the street lamp is powered by the wind power generation equipment and solar power generation equipment on the street lamp stand.
In addition, the monitor outside Li Lei's apartment is powered by the Ark nuclear fusion power generation equipment in the basement.
Therefore, Batman's every move was watched carefully by Hamada Hiroshi.
And Li Lei looked at the video archived on the monitor, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of Li Lei's mouth.
Oops, Batman didn't come in in the end, or he could have played tricks on Batman.
Of course, besides Batman, there were other people sneaking around and spying on Li Lei's apartment.
"You really provoked a lot of forces this time."
Hamada Hiroshi said rather nervously, "Especially after you were brought to the District Prosecutor's Office, I was still worried about what to do if you were not safe there.
Fortunately, Andre released you on bail very quickly this time. "
"Actually, it's not too fast. That old bat of Foster has already looked for me."
Li Lei replied, "Fortunately, the dagger and holy water that Brad gave me worked, and I finally forced him away.
But Foster is not bad, at least I know his weakness.
But if a little gangster comes over there and stabs me, I guess it's a big problem. "
"Indeed, the last thing Gotham City lacks is this kind of punk with no brains and no money in his pocket."
Although Hiroshi Hamada is a sharp claw, he has the most contact with the bottom of Gotham City.
"But what if the District Attorney's Office summons you again?"
"It shouldn't be that convenient."
Li Lei said, "Since there is no actual evidence for the first time, then the judge will be extra strict with the arrest or search warrants they apply for.
And this time they took me away because there were flaws in the procedure, and our side has already submitted an application for review to the Judicial Ethics Committee.
Although the committee may not make any resolutions, at least it can deter them, lest they think that I am really easy to bully here. "
"Actually, the most important thing is to get Mr. Li out of the murder case as soon as possible. The longer he gets involved, the worse it will be for Mr. Li."
Dr. Watson, who had been reading the case files, suddenly said, "Actually, as long as the prosecutors in the local prosecutor's office are not vegetarians, they can see that this is a very simple murder case.
Because no murderer is stupid enough to murder another in his own territory, especially when he and the victim are alone in a closed space.
But the problem now is that the police and the local prosecutor's office took away Mr. Li as a suspect with great fanfare; and now the media has started reporting, and widely citing the police and the local prosecutor's office, listing Mr. Li as a major suspect people.
Either their purpose is to use Mr. Li to lure the snake out of the hole, or they intend to frame Mr. Li and close the case, no matter what the purpose is, they will be punished!
If we don't get Mr. Li out of the crime as soon as possible, the subsequent troubles may be really dangerous. "
Dr. Watson's warning made Li Lei frown. Indeed, if the police and the local prosecutor's office plan to jointly frame him, he really has no way to resist.
Especially if the people in the Tangben group also accepted this result and killed themselves, then the local prosecutor's office would be able to close the case more openly.
No one cares about the life of this little man, what is important is that Gotham City has returned to its former peaceful and peaceful days.
But the problem is that at that time, there were only myself and the victim Domoto Ryoichi in the entire office.
Since he is not the murderer, who is the murderer?
This is really a classic "secret room murder"
It.
Wait, if it is said that Sherlock Holmes is the best at murders in locked rooms, then no one really dares to say that he can surpass him.
Li Lei's gaze immediately turned to Watson.
