Chapter 9 It is my duty to help the client!
One hour later...
Zhou Yan was pushed into the small room again.
At this moment, Lawyer Zou was already sitting inside.
In fact, Lawyer Zou had just left not long ago because he had to take a record every time he came to talk to the prisoner. Zhou Yan was in the cell, read the text on the book for a while, licked his elbow for a while, and screamed for a while, and it was only a short while. Lawyer Zou was driving the car, and before a few red lights had passed, he was called back.
There is no way, after all, the prisoner has a history of mental illness and has to be executed, so he must be respected more or less.
The most important thing is that I am afraid that the prisoner will make any trouble at this time and will implicate him.
So, the two met again.
"Hello." Lawyer Zou's opening remark this time was obviously a little reluctant.
Zhou Yan was just like he couldn't hear it, and sat on the chair.
"Lawyer, there is something wrong with my case! I may have been wronged!"
Lawyer Zou was stunned: "You mean, you may not have killed someone?"
"Yes!" Zhou Yan nodded heavily.
"Then why do you use the word [possible]? Can't you know whether you kill someone or not?" The lawyer's expression became even more suspicious.
"This...it doesn't matter." Zhou Yan casually made an excuse: "Anyway, I want to see the original document of the case. I want to see all the details. Can I help me!"
"No." Lawyer Zou replied without thinking.
"Ah? Why!"
"You are the number one suspect, you can't see it according to the regulations."
"If I die, I will watch it. If I don't show it to me, I will just talk nonsense, urinate and defecate anywhere, bite when I see a man, and lick when I see a woman."
"This..." Lawyer Zou was a little timid when he heard this: "If you have to look at it, there is no way."
"What's the solution?"
"I can apply for a retrial of the case on your behalf, but this requires sufficient evidence to overturn the previous conclusion, and the detective who takes over the case also needs to be present in person."
Zhou Yan was a little confused when he heard this, and thought, "I will turn over the confession, why do a detective have to be present? It seems that a detective can be fully responsible for a murder case."
Indeed, detectives were a third-rate profession in the world before Zhou Yan was reborn. Most of them looked for kittens and dogs, took photos of cheating, and they had no say in cases of "killing". People like [Conan] and [Kinda Ichi] who could call police with the registration head almost non-existent.
However, Zhou Yan was too lazy to think about it, so he nodded quickly: "I have evidence!"
Afterwards, Zhou Yan told the lawyer all the inferences he saw in the book about the dust under the crack in the door.
After hearing this, the lawyer said, "You are just making up this, how do you know these details? Did the case write it?"
“Not written.”
"If you haven't written it, it can't be considered..."
Before the lawyer could finish his words, Zhou Yan slapped the table with a "bang!"
"What's wrong with not writing? It's because the police are not doing well! It's because that bullshit detective is not good at using his eyes! I'm completely in such a disaster because of other people's mistakes. Now I'm about to be shot, and you're still here to push and stop him. Aren't you a lawyer? Shouldn't your responsibilities stand on my side and help me clear my suspicion? Why do you seem to be helping the police find reasons for their dereliction of duty? Do you deserve your conscience?"
After saying this big set of words, Zhou Yan only took less than 10 seconds, and his words were straightforward. Zhou Yan even doubted whether he had spoken crosstalk in his previous life.
And these words did have some effect. After the lawyer's words were held back, he was in a state of dazedness for a few seconds. Maybe he thought what the kid said was quite reasonable.
But Lawyer Zou was still rational after all. He took off his eyes and nodded: "Okay, what you said makes sense, then I apologize for my performance just now. But... I still need to pay attention to the process of doing things. If the case is not written, it cannot be regarded as evidence. Moreover, it has been almost half a year since the matter has passed. What dust you said, the crack in the door, must have been unable to confirm it, so..."
"It's okay, I can record my confession again!" Zhou Yan said.
"Record the confession?"
"Yes, as a party, I should be a bit convincing. At the crime scene, I actually saw the details of 'there is dust under the door', but later when I recorded the confession, I didn't say that I want to add it now!"
"emmm..." the lawyer hesitated: "It is in compliance with the regulations for supplementary confessions, but it has been so long that your confession is difficult to take effect! Besides, since you have seen it, why didn't you say it at that time!"
"I forgot at that time!"
"Ah? Forgot? Then why are you remembering it again now!"
"I had a mental illness before, but I suddenly recovered a few days ago. The improvement of my condition re-revealed some of my deep memories. I don't know what this condition is, but in clinical practice, there must be many examples. Just explain my situation to the police and ask them to go to the doctor for verification."
"This... because of mental illness, my previous memory suddenly became clear~" Lawyer Zou fell into deep thought. After a while, "Hiss, this has never happened before... But it sounds a bit operational, but... Just based on your memory that cannot be confirmed and the little dust under the crack of the door, it is a bit difficult to invite the detective."
Zhou Yan sat upright and looked at the lawyer solemnly.
"Lawyer Zou, you have been a lawyer for many years. Are you willing to be an unknown lawyer and can only accept the police summons?"
"..." Lawyer Zou frowned.
"Now, there are only three days left before my death penalty. Is there a precedent in this situation that a prisoner who has died to the forefront, because of you, overturned the death penalty sentence, and was even removed from suspicion and acquitted. Is there any precedent in this situation?"
“It should...none.”
"So, if you succeed, you are the first person to drag the death row prisoner back from hell with your own hands. You are a hero. You prove that the person who fights death is not just a doctor, but a lawyer, you will be on the news. Think about the headlines of the newspaper, and write your name in the biggest characters! At that time, your commission will be filled with mailboxes, and you will get rich..."
Zhou Yan's words easily penetrated into Lawyer Zou's ears. Indeed... If it was really as he said, then his career would definitely be a change.
but......
Lawyer Zou is still hesitating.
Seeing this, Zhou Yan leaned on the back of the chair and said softly:
"I have been imprisoned for half a year. If I were wronged, I will definitely have a compensation, and I will give it to you all at that time."
"Okay, it is my duty to help the client, and I will definitely do my best."
Chapter completed!
