Beiguan Jinshun Hotel is a two-story small building. In fact, it is the same small building as No. 6 Jing'an Lane that Lu Ming bought. However, there are more than a dozen extremely small rooms upstairs and downstairs. It is an extremely cheap hotel.
In a small hotel, the daily rent for each room is about 1 yuan.
Now, this small hotel has been rented by Cheng Lingyu, with a monthly rent of 200. It is temporarily rented for a month, and all the members of the "task force" have moved in.
The members of the task force are mainly prosecutors from the Xinfa District Procuratorial Branch.
The serial murder case of Masaichi Kato has been filed with the Tokai Ninth Circuit Court, also known as the Beiguan Court, and the court has officially accepted it and is waiting to be scheduled.
The chief prosecutor is served by Senior Prosecutor Cheng Lingyu, and the team members are also selected by him.
The second prosecutor is Yu Zhengdao, the prosecutor director of the Xinfa District Procuratorate Branch, and is also an extremely experienced veteran prosecutor.
In addition, the team also has a Deputy Director of Prosecution, a Prosecution Commissioner, and two Assistant Prosecution Commissioners, who are responsible for collecting evidence, checking for gaps, filling in omissions, etc. They are actually just errands, and most of them are young prosecutors.
The Beiguan Prosecution Branch also sent someone to join the team. Lu Ming's old acquaintance, Hou Dexing, the star prosecutor of the Beiguan Prosecution Branch, was labeled by Lu Ming as a weakened version of Li Mingxuan in Beiguan.
Lu Ming fought against Liu Laocai on the case.
In the prosecutor hierarchy, Hou Dexing belongs to the prosecutorial commissioner, which is the most junior prosecutor. After all, he is young.
As for the assistant prosecutor, it can basically be regarded as an internship and does not have the qualification to independently appear in court.
Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions, Special Prosecutor, Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions, Director of Public Prosecutions, Senior Director of Public Prosecutions, etc. can be regarded as the professional titles in the previous life, and can also be regarded as the hierarchical sequence of prosecutors. As in the previous life, the phenomenon of seniority is serious.
There are eight members of the team, prosecutors, which can be said to be an unprecedentedly powerful lineup.
Now, another external lawyer has been added to the prosecution team, namely Lu Ming.
The largest room in the hotel was used as a conference room, and Cheng Lingyu presided over the first prosecution team meeting to arrange the work distribution of the prosecutors.
In addition to the nine members of the prosecution team, sitting on chairs in the corner were two police detectives from the Thirteenth Branch of the Donghai Police Station, also known as the Beiguan Branch.
Li Wei, deputy chief of the Criminal Division and leader of Group 2, and Sha Dahai, deputy chief.
In accordance with the relevant laws and regulations on prosecution in the Empire, in criminal cases, the prosecutorial agency has temporary command authority over the police officers handling the case.
This is very similar to what Lu Ming knew about Korea in his previous life.
In most other countries, in prosecution cases, the procuratorate and the police department have a cooperative relationship. Of course, the procuratorate is the main one and the police department is the supplementary one.
Although the Beiguan Court accepted the case, in fact, the prosecution's evidence was still very weak and further evidence collection was needed.
Cheng Lingyu assigned the tasks that each prosecutor was responsible for, including the two police detectives, and everyone took notebooks to record.
Lu Ming was the only one with empty hands. He looked at the swarthy Xiaoqiang crawling in and out of the floor, and he was in a daze.
"Lu Qianxing, Lu Dazhuang, what do you have to say?" Cheng Lingyu suddenly looked at Lu Ming with a sarcastic tone. Seeing that Lu Ming did not take notes seriously and was out of tune with the others, he was a little dissatisfied.
Lu Ming smiled: "No, I'm listening. Wang Jian is responsible for the safety and psychological counseling of the surviving boys. He must guide the psychiatrist and try his best to get the surviving children permission to testify in court. The best solution is to obtain
A valid confession, and the psychological report prevents the defense from asking him to go to trial."
"The high prosecutor, together with the patrol officers, must bring the boy's photo with him to find someone who knows him and confirm his identity. It would be great if his relatives can be found."
"Inspector Zhang also needs the cooperation of the patrol department to screen local missing children to see if they can find the victims mentioned by Jin Zhengyi. They must be careful and conscientious and cover the following villages."
"Inspector Liu, we must handle the relationship well with the media, and we must pay special attention to the defense's comments in the media, guide the media, and use it for our benefit, but the popularity should not be too high, so as not to give the defense an excuse to have a mistrial."
"Wow!" Sitting next to Lu Ming was a young man with a childlike look on his face. He looked like a prosecutor who had just graduated from college. Indeed, his name was Wang Xiaohu, an assistant prosecutor who joined last year.
At this time, he exclaimed and gave Lu Ming a thumbs up, "Lawyer Lu, you are awesome!"
He had been immersed in memorizing, preparing to go back and sort out the context of the officer's speech, but now he saw that this young lawyer Lu didn't use paper and pen at all, but he remembered everything clearly. What's even more exciting is that everything he said was the key points.
, not a word of nonsense, concise and concise. In fact, after Chief Cheng chattered for a long time, Lawyer Lu summarized it in a few words. Now you can just write down what Lawyer Lu said. This is a summary of the key points that you need to go back and sort out.
Simply amazing!
Over there, Cheng Lingyu was startled for a moment, and then snorted coldly, "Don't look down at the cockroaches in a daze. The office conditions here are definitely not comparable to those of your lawyers, but if we just hire you and have enough funds, we don't need to work here anymore."
, you only subsidize 325 yuan a month, then with 525 yuan, we can rent an office space with conditions two levels higher than here!"
When they heard that Lu Ming's external employment fee was 325 yuan a month, some prosecutors showed resentment on their faces. This was their pain point.
Although prosecutors' salaries are not low, they are all poor compared to the successful lawyers they often deal with.
The monthly salary of an assistant prosecutor is only fifty or sixty yuan. Even for Cheng Lingyu, the senior prosecutor, who is at the top of the pyramid among ordinary prosecutors, the monthly salary is only about 300 yuan.
On the other hand, if an external lawyer is hired to prosecute, the fee is usually very high. How can this not be annoying?
This young rookie lawyer only earns 320 yuan a month, where can he go to argue the case?
Lu Ming rubbed his nose. In fact, the prosecutorial department hired external lawyers to prosecute, and usually hired well-known barristers to be the prosecutors.
The so-called monthly subsidy is only symbolic. A famous barrister may spend several months working as a prosecutor without taking on any other cases. Why is this money just for the sake of fame?
.
Others are tired from working as defense lawyers, the competition is too fierce, and the assessment scores drive people crazy. In comparison, prosecutors are too comfortable.
Therefore, after making enough money, some people turn to prosecution, even to use prosecution as a springboard to pave the way for entering politics.
As for myself, I was hired externally, but I am not the second prosecutor. That is, I cannot sit at the prosecutor's table. I am only a member of the team participating in the case. If I want to watch the trial, I have to apply for it myself and sit in the gallery.
But she provided key evidence and had Li Guan's support. Her reputation was not ordinary. Therefore, she was able to join this huge prosecution team, and the subsidy should be paid in accordance with the normal standards for external lawyer hiring.
But obviously, it seems unfair to these prosecutors.
But having said that, prosecutors are very comfortable, and most of them cannot adapt to the fierce competition among lawyers. There are many prosecutors who entered the public sector after failing in the competition in the lawyer industry. They should not be able to earn a salary guaranteed by drought or flood.
Nothing to complain about.
"Go on!" Cheng Lingyu also felt that after what he said, the atmosphere was not right and would affect team unity, so he changed the topic and continued to assign tasks to the prosecutor and assistant prosecutor.
"Wang Xiaohu, you are responsible for checking the underground human trafficking market to see if there is any possibility of selling children to Japanese people. This requires the cooperation of the local patrol police. I'm sorry, Chief Li!"
Li Wei nodded lightly: "Don't worry, Inspector Cheng. Our Criminal Division will fully cooperate during this period. We will stop all cases that can be stopped and allocate manpower to this case."
Cheng Lingyu looked at Lu Ming again: "Lawyer Lu, you and Xiaohu should be together. Give Xiaohu more guidance."
Lu Ming smiled and nodded.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the underground human trafficking market is like treating a dead horse as a living horse.
After all, Jin Zhengyi claimed that most of the victims were local children in Beiguan, and there were very few local children in the underground human trafficking market.
When Wang Xiaohu heard that he could be paired with Lu Ming, he was so excited that he blushed and stammered to Lu Ming: "Brother Lu, I will definitely learn from you!"
He comes from a poor family, and can be said to be one of the few examples of people who rely on knowledge to change their destiny and make a class jump.
He has always had excellent academic performance. He graduated with honors from the Imperial University Law School and chose a stable job as a prosecutor.
He has always longed for lawyers who speak eloquently in court, because his eloquence skills are not very good. He is even more envious of young lawyers who can go to court to criticize Fang Qiu at a young age, and admires their courage and self-confidence.
And this Lawyer Lu was only nineteen years old. He became a second-level lawyer in the first year after entering the legal profession. Moreover, because of Lawyer Lu, he gave birth to a legal principle in the Beiguan Court that was accepted by most other courts in the empire, that is, "toddler".
"Protection" principle.
Lawyer Lu is simply his role model in life.
Although he is older than Lawyer Lu, he is the first to achieve success. It is difficult to express his admiration for him without calling him "big brother", which is like the water of the Yellow River flooding out of control.
