In the past three days, in the attention of everyone, there has been new progress in the case of "Shaking the Head". At the same time, the police found some subtle new evidence traces in several warehouses. After inspection and determination, it was determined that in addition to the suspect who initially aroused heated discussions, there was an important accomplice in the "Shaking Weng" case.
Perhaps because of the high degree of discussion among citizens in the alliance, the police are more efficient in this case than before. The police station related to the Redstone star that first discovered the case was the main one, supplemented by the police stations of several other implicated planets. A joint team to work together on the case.
The combined effect of the resources of the various planetary police stations was immediate, and after three days, the identities of the accomplices were basically locked.
Of course, the police station has always advocated blocking the progress of this kind of case. Even if the public pays attention, the report is part of what they are willing to disclose. The specific information about the accomplice, the follow-up arrangements and plans of the police station will never be reported in advance, so as not to affect the arrest of the suspect.
The reason why Southern Cross Law Firm could hear a few words is because of Lawyer Dean.
It is said that the police station has begun to lay the net;
It is said that the accomplices have been arrested and brought to justice;
It is said that the accomplice escaped again;
It is also said that the newly collected evidence and testimonies actually point to two people, and the police station is wandering between the two people, it is difficult to determine who is the real accomplice...
By the time he returned to the office after lunch that day, the version Yan Suizhi heard had already been updated to version 5.0—
"By the way, the accomplice is confirmed." Locke mysteriously started this sentence for the fifth time.
Yan Suizhi had just finished wiping his hands perfunctorily to him. Hearing this familiar beginning, he couldn't help laughing, and he said "hmmm" perfunctorily, indicating that he was listening, "This time it's Dean. Did the lawyer reveal it in the bathroom, or did it accidentally talk about it while answering the phone?"
Locke also knew that he had missed it several times, so he scratched his cheeks embarrassedly, "No, it's not lawyer Dean this time."
Yan Suizhi didn't even take it to heart when he heard it. Dean, as the defense attorney for the No. 1 suspect, didn't say much information, and he was completely changed after two turns. Can what others say be true
Locke whispered: "My teacher said this time."
Hobbs
Yan Suizhi glanced at him and said to the little fool, "Isn't your teacher quarantined in the hospital? Where did the news come from?"
"Isn't the old man's test result not clear all the time, because he is old and there are various interference items, it is a bit troublesome to confirm. I did the last confirmation test this morning and saw it with my own eyes at the test port." Locke said , and added, "My teacher, the police officer in charge of the joint case handling team, happened to know him and said that it was the police officer who brought a group of police officers to wait at the inspection gate today with a serious face. My teacher talked to him a few times in the past, but He only cared about my teacher's physical condition, and then said that he was a bit of a businessman and didn't say much else. But—"
Locke made a "you know" expression, "What other official duties can the joint case handling team have at this time, right?"
Indeed, the joint team was originally set up specifically for the "Shaking Man" case, and it must be targeting the relevant personnel of the case.
"You said... Is that accomplice at the Ivy Hospital?" Locke said.
Yan Suizhi nodded, "Maybe."
Locke muttered: "Waiting at the testing port, waiting for a patient in the isolation area? Or waiting for a doctor in the isolation area?"
Speaking of doctors...
Yan Suizhi remembered the doctor he saw in the residential building on Heishi Street before, and he took the opportunity to go out to run errands and went there twice again. The street is still guarded by police officers, and people there are still trying to maintain the rhythm of daily life.
But he didn't see the doctor who wore a hat and mask, and only showed a pair of blue eyes.
In the reception room in the office on the first floor, Senior Affairs Officer Adams quickly replied to the new email on the screen with his fingers, and said to Gu Yan: "...It's almost like this, the accomplice is being called by the police. At that time, I directly proposed to entrust a lawyer with a clear goal, and the letter of entrustment was sent an hour ago. I originally wanted to reject it for you directly and ask the other party to hire Gao Ming, but considering two points—"
He turned the holographic screen of the smartphone at an angle, facing Gu Yan, so that he could see the content of the email: "On the one hand, I still want to ask your opinion, although I don't think it is worth considering. The party just received an email from the Legal Aid Committee, when the accomplice sent the letter of entrustment, he also submitted an application statement to the Aid Committee, and now the committee also prefers to let you appear in court."
Adams said, and snorted unusually.
Gu Yan of course understood what he was upset about—
The first trial list of first-level lawyers is in the publicity period, and there is always one between him and Hobbes. Compared with Hobbes, he is indeed too young, and there are too few people who have become first-class lawyers at such a young age. However, the jury will not directly screen people for this reason unless it is a last resort.
Now this kind of controversial case is on Gu Yan's head. If he really accepts it, he will be in a dilemma.
If the public is too disgusted with the suspect, and he performs well in his court defense, whether he is ultimately acquitted or commuted, the public's evaluation of him will be affected. And if he is mediocre, or even perfunctory, then his duties as a lawyer are completely unfulfilled.
Either way, it will have an impact on the candidates for first-level lawyers during the publicity period.
But this saved the committee trouble. If he was affected, the committee would not have to hesitate between Hobbes and him, and it was logical to leave one. This is why the committee tends to let Gu Yan accept the commission.
Gu Yan was flipping through some of the case materials that Adams gave him. After flipping through the pages, he put the imitation paper back on the table and said calmly, "You can take it."
Adams:"???"
He choked a sip of coffee in his throat, coughed earth-shatteringly, blushed and asked, "What are you picking up? You are in the publicity period, what are you doing with this kind of case? Don't be joking, okay?"
Gu Yan looked at him, "No kidding."
Adams had known him for so many years, of course he knew he wasn't joking.
"A first-level lawyer! My friend! A first-level lawyer! You! You said, are you too proud to look down on this?" Adams was about to make trouble.
Gu Yan: "Of course not."
Adams wiped the coffee stain from the corner of his mouth and glared at him, "What is that?"
Gu Yan said: "If you take a case first, will it affect the publicity and become a first-level lawyer? Isn't it a bit of putting the cart before the horse?"
Adams was still staring at him.
"You take a look at the list of first-level lawyers. How many people will shrink for the publicity period?"
Adams said angrily: "I haven't counted them, but there must be a lot anyway."
"At least that's not the case with the first-level lawyers I've identified."
Adams grumbled dissatisfiedly: "Do you think you do, let me hear your name?"
Gu Yan picked up the coffee and drank it plainly, and it seemed that he didn't intend to tangle with him any more.
Adams confronted him unilaterally for a long time, and then scratched his hair in a collapsed manner: "You're going to be mad at me. The senior affairs officer is not a human being? See, all my hair is lost for you."
"With all due respect, the first day I met you, your hairline was already like this."
Adams:"… "
He has cooperated with Gu Yan for many years, and he is also a friend for many years. Of course, he knows the character of the other party. From the very beginning, Gu Yan would not deliberately change anything for a "first-level lawyer". For him, a "first-level lawyer" is a state of effort rather than a purpose.
Half an hour later, Adams compromised with a face, and sent another email to the committee, "Okay, I'll investigate the situation again, and if it's almost there, I'll pick it up. I'll give you an appointment tomorrow."
When Gu Yan came out of his office, there was a copy of the case information on the screen of the smartphone, and there was a photo taken at the Ivy Hospital. surrounded by gentlemen locked up as accomplices.
The man was still wearing the hospital gown from the quarantine area, but he did not look as frail as an ordinary infected person, but instead looked arrogant.
That face is not completely unfamiliar to Gu Yan, at least once in a relationship, on the shuttle flying from Helan Star to Decama - the black-haired man identified as "positive", surnamed Ji .
"What's been tricked by Adams for so long?"
When Gu Yan returned to the office, Yan Suizhi asked.
"It's nothing, I may have to take a case, and wait for tomorrow." The case has not been finalized yet, and Gu Yan didn't say much.
But Yan Suizhi was very keen: "What case? Will it affect the publicity?"
"You care about this?"
Yan Suizhi nodded gracefully with his clasped fingers on the table, raised his eyebrows and said, "It depends on what kind of care you ask. If it's me, I can pass the publicity period as it should, nothing special. If it's you, of course I want you to be as smooth as possible."
Gu Yan held two cups of coffee in his hand, one he was drinking himself, the other was obviously just poured, it was self-evident to whom.
He walked to Yan Suizhi's desk, handed over the cup of coffee, and asked, "Why?"
"what why?"
"Why do you want me to be as smooth as possible?"
Yan Suizhi raised her eyebrows, considered it for a while, and said, "Probably... out of the care of an elder."
"… "
Lawyer Gu took back the cup of coffee with a blank face, turned his head and left.
"Hey—don't run!" Yan Suizhi bent his eyes and reached out to grab him, "accompany me to a place later."
