[Death of a Lawyer-13]
Ke Shaobin found out all the information of the four people in the group photo through a powerful Internet search.
Zhang Ronghua's father is a real estate developer and his mother is a jeweler. As an only child, he has been doted on since he was a child, and his life is extravagant. Changing girlfriends is harder than changing clothes. The yacht in the photo is a private yacht he bought. He also has a private jet, and every year he invites a few friends to go abroad for vacation.
Li Decheng is Zhang Ronghua's cousin. His family conditions are not as good as his. His parents opened a clothing company. Li Decheng owns 40% of the company's shares. He can live well on his own. His ex-wife Chen Xueqin came from an ordinary family. At first, he married his son. Less than five years after the marriage, Li Decheng was caught cheating on the spot by Chen Xueqin. Chen Xueqin filed for divorce, and lawyer Zhou represented the case.
Jinluo, the prince of Jinxing Group, is the largest Internet technology company in Beishan City. Attorney Zhou is currently serving as the legal counsel of the company.
Shen Haibin, a friend of Zhang Ronghua, is also a rich second-generation. The two often go out to play together. There are countless photos of the two of them on Weibo.
The four people in the photo are more or less related to Lawyer Zhou—
Li Decheng is the ultimate beneficiary of the divorce case represented by lawyer Zhou; Jin Luo is the heir to the Jinxing Group for which lawyer Zhou served as legal counsel; Zhang Ronghua had a private meeting with lawyer Zhou yesterday; Shen Haibin, who had been represented by lawyer Zhou five years ago In a criminal case, a girl accused him of rape, but he was eventually released in court due to insufficient evidence.
Yue Xingwen looked at the group photo thoughtfully: "The four people have a close relationship, and Lawyer Zhou has strong business skills, so when they encounter legal problems, they will introduce Lawyer Zhou to other friends?"
Lan Yarong nodded and said: "I agree with Xingwen's statement that lawyer Zhou's parents are ordinary working class, it is difficult to directly know people in this rich second-generation circle. From the perspective of the timeline, the Shen Haibin criminal case occurred in Five years ago, he should have been the first to know Lawyer Zhou; then, he introduced Lawyer Zhou to Jinluo, let Lawyer Zhou get in touch with Jinxing Group, and became a legal counsel; then introduced it to Li Decheng, and secretly helped Li Decheng get the divorce case Child custody; in the end, it was Zhang Ronghua who met with lawyer Zhou in private."
Shen Haibin → Jinxing Group → Divorce → Zhang Ronghua unknown case. According to the timeline, when the four of them needed legal help, they introduced lawyer Zhou to their friends. This logic just made sense.
Xin Yan raised a question: "Aren't lawyers specializing in a certain direction? For example, criminal law, economic law, and marriage law. Different lawyers are good at lawsuits in different fields. Why does Lawyer Zhou accept all kinds of lawsuits?"
Lan Yarong said: "There are also all-round lawyers. At the undergraduate level, we have to go through all the laws, and the graduate students will subdivide them. Some ambitious lawyers will continue to study after work, memorize the legal terms, various If he accepts all cases, his business scope will be very broad, with more client resources and more income of course.”
Yue Xingwen frowned and said, "I think there may be something wrong with the 'Shen Haibin case' represented by lawyer Zhou five years ago. Senior sister, please take a look at the case records."
Lan Yarong glanced at the case information on the computer, and said simply: "The woman is a college student. She went to the bar during the summer vacation as a drink girl to make quick money. When Shen Haibin went to the bar to play, she took a fancy to her and insulted her in the private room of the bar. , the woman did not leave any evidence at that time, ran to take a bath in panic, and reported the case the next day accompanied by her best friend. Shen Haibin denied the rape, saying that it was your own wish. In the end, the court found that the plaintiff had insufficient evidence, and Shen Haibin was released in court. ."
Qin Miao said with a cold face: "This girl is obviously inexperienced, she should not go home to take a bath, but should report to the police as soon as possible, find a doctor to identify the injury, and leave the man's semen evidence, so that it is possible to win, right? "
Lan Yarong nodded and said helplessly: "Many girls lack legal attempts and are bullied. They hurried to take a shower and cried a lot. When they calmed down and thought about reporting the crime, they missed the best time. However, I can't blame her, she's not a legal professional, it's normal to panic when suddenly encountering such a thing."
It is difficult for most people to remain rational in the face of emergencies. It is normal for the girl to lose the lawsuit in the end. After all, she has no evidence, and the court cannot convict rape based on her words alone.
Yue Xingwen looked at the pale girl in the court record and said, "Will this girl hold a grudge for this and take revenge on Lawyer Zhou? Check her information."
After checking it, Ke Shaobin said in surprise: "The plaintiff in this case, Qin Shiyin, actually works in the Galaxy Building! On the 27th floor, a children's training institution, she teaches music."
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.
This is really "pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud". Following the line of Zhang Ronghua who went out in the middle of the night, a bunch of friends and victims were involved, all of whom were related to Lawyer Zhou. The case is more complicated than it started.
Lan Yarong suddenly said: "I found a turning point in time. Lawyer Zhou has been representing criminal cases for several years after he graduated from graduate school, which is in line with his graduate study of "Criminal Law". But just five years ago, he helped Shen Haibin to fight After winning the lawsuit, I suddenly changed careers and began to represent cases in economic law and marriage law, and I have never been exposed to criminal law."
Why didn't he take criminal cases
Yue Xingwen was silent for a moment, then analyzed: "In ordinary divorce cases, the hatred should not be so big as to kill people. For example, in the divorce case between Chen Xueqin and Li Decheng, although she did not get custody of the child in the end, she can continue. Appeal, or find a way to visit his son instead of killing the lawyer in anger."
The teammates agreed: "Yes, I've never heard of a lawyer who lost a divorce case and killed a lawyer." "Chen Xueqin played mahjong all night, and the alibi is very convincing. Her husband got custody of the child and still retains it. With all the shares, there is no reason to kill the lawyer." "This couple should have nothing to do with the death of lawyer Zhou."
Xin Yan concluded: "This line of the divorce case between Li Decheng and Chen Xueqin is to draw out the group of rich second-generation friends behind it, and it proves that lawyer Zhou often takes bribes, and even to make money, he takes both ends and uses any means."
Yue Xingwen nodded in agreement: "So, the criminal case he took over is the key."
Criminal cases such as rape and murder leave indelible scars on victims and relatives.
Attorney Zhou talked eloquently in court and described the black as white. The client is likely to hate him even more, so he has murderous intentions and wants revenge. This has a motive for murder.
After the case 5 years ago, lawyer Zhou is no longer representing criminal cases, which is also very strange.
Lan Yarong said: "This group of rich second-generation friends has to be carefully investigated. The case from five years ago is very critical."
Yue Xingwen glanced at the time, it was almost three in the morning, remembering that Pingce asked him to go back to sleep before three, he said to everyone: "Let's come here first today, everyone has worked hard, go back to rest first, at eight in the morning Get up and act."
Lan Yarong's residence in the apartment building was a two-bedroom, one-bedroom suite, and sisters Qin Lu and Qin Miao happened to be staying at her place.
Yue Xingwen was teleported from the plate transposition just now, and he must teleport back to avoid leaving strange records in the apartment monitoring. So, Qin Lu teleported back to the apartment room with Yue Xingwen, and then moved to Lan Yarong's residence. Lan Yarong, Lin Manluo and Qin Miao walked back normally.
After returning to the room, Yue Xingwen found that Jiang Pingce had fallen asleep.
Pingze had not rested for more than 30 hours in a row, he must be very tired, and he seemed to be sleeping quite deeply. Worrying about waking up the other party, Yue Xingwen gently touched the bathroom to take a shower, dried her hair, and then touched the edge of the bed, gently lifted the quilt and lay on it.
Not long after, Yue Xingwen also fell asleep.
There are too many clues discovered today, it is a brainstorm, his head is aching, and he needs to rest urgently.
This sleep till dawn.
When he opened his eyes, Jiang Pingce was already dressed, Yue Xingwen hurriedly went to the bathroom to wash up, and asked, "You got up so early, did you sleep well last night?"
Jiang Pingce's lips lifted lightly: "Very good." He slept well with Xingwen in the same bed, of course.
Yue Xingwen quickly washed his face and said, "Last night, we sorted out a bunch of new clues. Today, it is up to you to come out. You have a police officer's card in your hand, so it is quite convenient to handle the case."
After Xingwen changed his clothes, Jiang Pingce said, "Let's go, go to the 30th floor and talk to Zhang Ronghua first."
Yue Xingwen quickly followed, the two took the elevator to the 30th floor, knocked on the door of room 3007, and a lazy voice came from the room: "Who is it, early in the morning?"
Jiang Pingce: "Police."
The other party opened the door. He was wearing a white nightgown. He must have just woken up. He looked like a fool. While yawning, he said impatiently: "Sweeping pornography and harassment? Comrade police, I slept alone last night. "
Jiang Pingce took out the police officer's card and gave him a look, and said coldly, "I'm a criminal policeman. Mr. Zhang Ronghua, we have a case that needs your assistance in the investigation. Can you go in and chat?"
Zhang Ronghua was stunned for a moment: "Interpol? I haven't committed any crimes recently!"
Jiang Pingce and Yue Xingwen bypassed him and walked into the house.
The decoration style of the X new concept hotel is indeed very distinctive. The room where Zhang Ronghua lives is a bit like an e-sports themed room, with a cool-looking gaming computer with a transparent chassis, a mechanical keyboard and mouse.
The information found by Ke Shaobin mentioned that Zhang Ronghua is a game fan.
Yue Xingwen quickly scanned the room to search for useful clues. He saw a suitcase next to the bed. There were several sets of clothes in it. The bed was a little messy. Shoes, he apparently lived alone.
Jiang Pingce asked, "Did you meet with lawyer Zhou Ziyang at 12:30 noon on March 7?"
Zhang Ronghua frowned and said, "Yes, I asked lawyer Zhou to help."
Yue Xingwen asked, "Be more specific, what are you busy with?"
Zhang Ronghua coughed and said, "I used to be the manager of my father's company, but he was actually just a name and had no real power. My father gave me a sum of money to use it as a start-up fund to open a small company to test the waters and hone my skills. Hone. Attorney Zhou is the legal advisor of Jinxing Group, so I asked him some questions that need to be paid attention to when opening a company, and I would like to ask him to be the legal director of my new company.”
Jiang Pingce stared at him coldly: "Just like this?"
Zhang Ronghua nodded sincerely: "Well, I discussed it with him before. This time I came to ask him to give me the contract. Anyway, I don't know how to write the contract, so I just let him write it." He took out a contract from the bag and handed it to Jiang Pingce: "This is the contract he drafted. I haven't had time to sign it. I plan to go back and find a lawyer to look at it."
Jiang Pingce took a look at it, and sure enough, it was an agreement to hire Zhou Ziyang as the legal director of Ronghua Group.
Yue Xingwen also came over and looked at the contract carefully, and asked in confusion, "Your company's headquarters is in Anming City, why didn't you find a lawyer there, but came to Beishan City to find a lawyer Zhou?"
Zhang Ronghua said with a smile: "It only takes 2 hours to drive from Anming to Beishan. I believe in lawyer Zhou's professional ability more than looking for it locally. Now it is also very convenient to work online. If you have any important documents or contracts, you need legal counsel. After the purpose, I will let the legal affairs of the company read it, and finally send an email to lawyer Zhou for the final trial."
His reasons made sense.
Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce looked at each other, and the latter asked lightly, "Do you know Shen Haibin?"
Zhang Ronghua was stunned for a while, and replied subconsciously, "Of course I know it. Shen Haibin is the one who made me young... No, police officer, you asked me about lawyer Zhou and Shen Haibin. What happened?"
Yue Xing Wen said: "Attorney Zhou is dead."
Zhang Ronghua opened his mouth in shock: "Huh?"
Yue Xingwen added: "Just at 24:00 the night before yesterday, when you were leaving the apartment building, he fell from the opposite Xinghe Building and fell to his death."
Zhang Ronghua: "..."
The rich second-generation in front of him should not be the murderer. After all, when he went downstairs, Lawyer Zhou fell from the opposite side, and he had no time to commit the crime.
But the clues behind his involvement must be of great use.
Jiang Pingce said, "Tell me, what happened to Shen Haibin's case five years ago?"
