Spy Family

Lawyer No. 34 came again, delivered personally by Professor Qiao's assistant, "The first confrontation will be over soon. I have already learned the result. The application will be rejected. Most experts from the big legal team believe that the two of you Does not have diplomatic status."

"Are we going to be officially arrested?"

"It's possible, but I haven't given up yet. At the same time the application is rejected, I will file a second application - the suspect protection clause."

"What is the specific content?"

"There was a case many years ago where someone shot and killed a police officer. After being arrested, he was retaliated by the victim's colleagues. As a result, the person disappeared before the trial. So some experts from the big legal group formulated the 'Suspect Protection' Clause', that is, no suspect in any case shall be delivered into the custody of the law enforcement agencies of a party."

"It's not the council that's hunting us, it's the police."

"The police belong on the council."

"According to this reasoning, no government agency can come to arrest us."

"Yes, this is a controversial clause. It can probably buy you another half a day to a day."

"Number thirty-four."

"I am here."

"What's the point of doing this?"

"The point is to delay your arrest."

"What's the point of delaying the arrest?"

"The meaning is to postpone the interrogation and confession."

"What's the point of delaying the interrogation and confession? No matter how long it is delayed, my confession will not change."

"The meaning is to allow the police to conduct a more comprehensive investigation. This is a common practice. Once the police arrest a suspect, they will focus all their energy on the interrogation and will slack off on peripheral evidence. As a defense lawyer, I hope to see the police's Evidence has breadth, not depth, and breadth makes it easier to find flaws, understand?”

"Maybe the police can find evidence that my wife is being controlled..."

"You can have such hope, but don't transfer your hope to me, because as far as I know, the probability of this possibility is so low that it can be ignored."

"Okay, I hope I can keep it to myself." Lu Linbei smiled, "Do you have any more ways to extend our 'freedom'?"

"There are at least five more applications, which can probably be extended by three to five days. This is enough for the police. The prime time to collect evidence is very short. If they cannot interrogate suspects, they will spend a lot of energy on peripheral work. There is only one Things need to be watched out for, as the police are likely to hide unfavorable evidence, and digging them out will be a long struggle.”

"But my husband and I were already in prison at that time?"

"To be precise, it is not a prison, but a detention center. Since you did not escape, I will apply for you to be executed outside the prison. The situation is similar to the current situation, but the location must be selected by the police."

"Thanks."

"There is nothing to thank. This is normal practice. The real battle will not begin until the evidence is exchanged. I have formulated three plans and choose one according to the situation. I will not say that I will win, but I will do it for the parties involved. Aim for the best outcome.”

"The best outcome for us is..."

"The assassination is somewhat uncontrollable and warrants a lighter punishment."

"This is not the outcome I wanted, but thank you. I will still work hard to prove that my wife was in complete control and should not be held responsible for her actions at the time."

"You can work hard to prove it, but you can't submit it to the court. It will fall into the pocket of the prosecution and destroy my defense plan."

"If I find evidence, I will announce it outside the court." Lu Linbei said with a smile.

"It's good to keep hope, and the best outcome I say is based on the current situation, if the police and prosecutors make serious mistakes, which has not happened before, then everything will be different."

"Just like in war, make fewer mistakes yourself. When the enemy makes mistakes, it will be the time to turn defeat into victory."

"Among the clients I have represented, Major Lu's satisfaction level ranks third."

"Only third?" Lu Linbei pretended to be disappointed.

"The first and second ones have a much deeper understanding of the law than I do. How much does Major Lu know about the spirit of the law?"

"Third place is good." Lu Linbei smiled.

Lawyer No. 34 was taken away by his assistant. During the entire conversation, four policemen stood guard at the door.

It was almost twelve o'clock at night when Mei Wangzhen arrived, and only one of the four policemen was left, sitting in a daze at the door, quieter than a robot.

Professor Qiao took a nap during the day, so he was not sleepy. He stood in the middle of the living room and gave a "speech" to Lu Linbei and his assistant who were sitting there. "Something is wrong, very wrong..."

Mei Wangzhen came over and sat on another sofa. She was exhausted from the day. Seeing Professor Qiao stop, she asked, "What's wrong?"

"You are not one of ours."

Mei Wangzhen pointed at the policeman at the door, "Am I less trustworthy than him?"

Professor Qiao had long forgotten the existence of the police. He frowned and immediately shook his head to get rid of the meaningless thoughts. "It doesn't matter if I tell you. Something big is going to happen soon. An unexpected big thing is enough to keep all the residents of Zhai Wang Xing awake all night." Sleepless……"

"The board of directors is ready to invite Li Fangyuan to serve as chairman."

Professor Qiao was stunned, "Where did you know that?"

"Where did Professor Qiao know?"

"I have friends."

"I have it too."

Professor Qiao lost half of his energy and finally sat on the third sofa. He thought for a moment and said, "So, this is already an open secret?"

"It's still a small-scale secret, at least it doesn't appear on the Internet."

"Don't you think it's abnormal?"

"Whose perspective are you on?"

"Your own perspective."

"It's normal."

"Normal? Do you regard this kind of thing as normal? The Universal Power Association has been fighting with the Council for nearly three years, causing more casualties than an interstellar war. Lu Linbei and his wife just assassinated the Chairman not long ago - don't argue with me about the facts. , everyone thinks so - the peace talks have come to a standstill, and suddenly the chairman of the Crisis Committee of the General Assembly is going to be the chairman, or is he directly invited by the council members, do you think this is normal?"

Professor Qiao was irritated, as if he had returned to the university classroom. The students were unwilling to listen carefully. When faced with serious questions, they actually smiled playfully and tried to get through by being clever.

Mei Wangzhen had never attended Professor Qiao's class, but he couldn't help but straighten his posture and replied: "To hand over a crisis that you can't handle to others is a normal choice in my opinion. The only obstacle is Huang Tongke, which no longer exists. "

"How does the council plan to explain the contrast between before and after? Especially the assassination of the chairman?"

"I don't know. There should be an explanation soon." Mei Wangzhen relaxed his body and wanted to lie down and take a nap.

Professor Qiao still had an angry look on his face, "It is true that the council is passing on the crisis, but it will never really hand over power. This is a conspiracy to send the Universal Powers Association to the battlefield, and they will reap the benefits..."

The door opened and a group of police officers came in. The leader was not Lin Mo Shen. Several people in the room did not recognize them and stood up one after another.

The leader announced the arrest warrant and then asked: "Lu Linbei, do you understand your rights?"

"Um."

"Okay, please come with us."

Lu Linbei glanced at the others, nodded slightly, and walked over.

The leader suddenly stretched out his right hand to signal the suspect to stop. At the same time, he raised his left hand and lightly pressed his earlobe. He was obviously answering an important call. He hummed a few times with an annoyed look on his face, "The arrest is suspended, Lu Linbei, you are still Under residential surveillance." Having finished what he had to say, he couldn't help but add, "You escaped again, those lawyer procedures should be completely deleted."

"I believe this is what you said in anger. When you calm down, you will change your view." Lu Linbei said.

The leader snorted heavily and led the team away.

The policeman guarding the door had already stood up, then sat down again. Suddenly he raised his hand to press his earlobe and answered the call. He quickly stood up again, opened the door and left.

Professor Qiao was confused, "What kind of trick are they playing?"

Mei Wangzhen had already understood, "Lu Linbei is now under the minimum residential surveillance, and there is no need for on-site police supervision. Moreover, the crowd downstairs has dispersed, and there is no need for protection here."

"I mean...is Lawyer No. 34 really so powerful?"

The assistant responsible for transporting the lawyer interrupted: "On the 34th, I hope to have a remote conversation with Major Lu."

"good."

The assistant took out his microcomputer, and the voice of No. 34 soon came from inside, "To make a long story short, the case has taken a major turn. The police made a mistake earlier and bigger than I expected."

Professor Qiao asked: "What mistake did the police make?"

"The evidence was forged, and there was a lot of forgery, which caused the original evidence to be contaminated. I am applying to have them all revoked. Major Lu, this is better than the best result I expected."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome. I have already informed another client, Chen Manchi, of the same news. I will be fighting a procedural battle next. Please look forward to my good news. Goodbye."

No. 34 disappeared, and Professor Qiao was stunned, "What does this mean?"

Mei Wangzhen said: "It means that the police will bear the blame for the chairman's assassination. Lao Bei and Chen Manchi will not be prosecuted and will regain their freedom."

"Is this the council's way of resolving 'contrast'? Isn't it too childish?"

Mei Wangzhen glanced at Lu Linbei, and both of them understood that this was not the council's method, but Li Fangyuan's method. Lu Linbei and Chen Manchi were not eliminated on the way to escape according to the "plan", so they just Can be expelled.

Another aide reminded: “The council has issued a statement.”

This is an audio statement, personally issued by a certain vice-chairman. He first explained the assassination of the chairman, claiming that some people with ulterior motives tried to sabotage the peace talks, so they assassinated the chairman who wanted to reach a reconciliation, and framed the blame on Pu Negotiator of the Power Council, as for who has ulterior motives, the relevant departments are conducting investigations and the results will be available soon.

Next, he said many, many words about war and peace, saying that he would uphold the legacy of the late chairman, promote reconciliation, and speak unanimously to the outside world. Finally, he sincerely invited Li Fangyuan, chairman of the Crisis Committee of the Universal Rights Council, to come to Zhaijing in person to have a joint discussion. Discuss big plans.

Professor Qiao listened carefully to every word, finally understood, and looked at Lu Linbei, "It turns out that we are all tools on the table, and the real negotiations are actually carried out in secret. Do you understand?"

Lu Linbei shook his head.

"If you understood, you wouldn't..." Professor Qiao fell into deep thought, his expression becoming more and more serious. A few minutes later, he said: "The Information Liaison Department must be reorganized. If we can't even get our own intelligence, the entire department will What is the meaning of existence?”
