Liu Yong and Yang Kunpeng, deputy captain of the county bureau's criminal police team, knocked on the door of Tang Lin's ward. Soon someone came out and opened the door. The person who opened the door was none other than barrister Zhou Guohua.
Zhou Guohua did not let the two of them in. He walked out and closed the door with his backhand, "I am Tang Lin's attorney. Tang Lin is not in good health and needs absolute rest. What can I do for you?"
Liu Yong and Yang Kunpeng couldn't help but look at each other and said to themselves, it turned out to be a closed door. Moreover, the doorkeeper was actually the famous Zhou Guohua. This matter was really difficult.
Liu Yong immediately revealed his identity, "Hello, Lawyer Zhou, I am Liu Yong, director of the Propaganda Department of the Shangtang County Party Committee, and this is Yang Kunpeng, deputy captain of the County Bureau's Criminal Police Brigade. We are here mainly to confirm whether the CTV interview team has
We are conducting interviews and reports on the incident of County Magistrate Yue being injured. In principle, no interviews are allowed now because this case is still under investigation. I think Lawyer Zhou will definitely understand this matter."
Although Zhou Guohua was famous, Liu Yong didn't need to be afraid of him. After all, there was no direct interest involved, so Liu Yong simply said everything at once, without Yang Kunpeng next to him opening his mouth.
"It's a good thing that the CTV interview team came to Shangtang. No matter what the report is, we support it and will warmly receive it. But if CTV came to interview and our publicity department didn't know about it, then I would be derelict in my duty and I would have to bear the corresponding responsibility.
"
Zhou Guohua nodded slightly, "What Minister Liu said makes sense, but it is just some past habits. There is no law in our country that stipulates that the CTV interview team must first report to the local propaganda department. As for the case you mentioned, it is under investigation.
This is not true. You must first clarify one fact. That is, we now have enough evidence to prove that my client is innocent, and so far, your public security department does not have enough evidence to prove that my client violently injured others.
.So my client is not a suspect now. My client has fulfilled the obligation of a citizen to cooperate with the investigation, and there is no direct causal connection with the case investigated by the county bureau."
"So my client is free whether to accept interviews and when to accept interviews. In addition, my client has always been a part-time reporter for the China Television News Investigation Column. When encountering breaking news events, he can also follow up and report.
, his identity is registered with China Television and he is an active employee with news interview rights."
Zhou Guohua was reasonable and well-founded, and refuted Liu Yong in a few words. Liu Yong was left speechless and his face turned red. He really wanted to be tough like Yue Qing, but what was his reason for being tough?
Zhou Guohua is a well-known barrister. If he doesn't pay attention, he will become a defendant.
At this time, Yang Kunpeng had to stand up and said, "I'm sorry, Lawyer Yang, whether Tang Lin is involved in the case or whether he is guilty or not is a matter for our public security organs to investigate and be responsible for. Lawyers are not qualified to make judgments on their own. We are in the process of investigating this case.
Of course, Zhong Tanglin, as the first suspect in this case, cannot accept any interviews from any media. This is common sense. This is not a discussion between us and you, but a notice."
How could Zhou Guohua be afraid of his official tone? He immediately retorted seriously, "There is no doubt that there is no guilt. What's more, another person involved in this case is now the defendant of my client. I believe he has received the court summons. We have the ability to directly
The evidence, both personal and material, are complete and have been submitted to the relevant judicial authorities. You keep saying that my client is the first suspect in this case. Can you provide direct evidence? If there was direct and favorable evidence, my client would not be in the hospital right now.
But he is in the detention center."
"You don't have direct evidence now, so we will add a false accusation to the original lawsuit against Yue Qing for defamation. You go back and tell Yue Qing that the second summons from the court will arrive soon, and I will handle the matter immediately."
"If there is nothing else, I will go in and take care of my client. However, if you have direct evidence at any time, you are welcome to come to me again at any time. I am a lawyer and I abide by the law."
After speaking, Zhou Guohua did not give the two a chance to refute again, and turned back to the room and closed the door. Liu Yong and Yang Kunpeng looked at each other again facing the closed door, and then Liu Yong patted Yang Kunpeng on the shoulder.
"Let's not be in a hurry to go back. If we want to go out for a smoke, let's work out how to do it together."
Yang Kunpeng didn't have any objections. This matter had nothing to do with him in the first place. He was temporarily driving Yu Changdong to visit Yue Qing, but he didn't expect to be caught.
The two of them came to a corridor on the right side outside the hospital. There were not many people here and it was relatively cooler. They were both smokers and had known each other before, so they sat facing each other and started smoking. The smoke filled the air in an instant.
"I saw that you were very tough just now, can you continue to deal with this toughly?" Liu Yong was the first to speak.
"I'm tough as hell. I'm a strong person on the outside but a strong person on the inside. If it were someone else, if there wasn't a lawyer as awesome as Zhou Guohua standing by, it would be much easier to handle, because I am a law enforcer and what I say is the truth. Keep suppressing it.
Even if the other party refuses to accept, there is nothing we can do. But now, we are the ones who have no choice. Not only did we get nothing this time, but we also added a false accusation to Yue County. This sounds like a joke, but it is not true if the crime is proven.
It’s a joke.”
Liu Yong also poured out his bitter words, "Yeah, what does it have to do with me if someone from China Television does an interview? It's not a main theme report, it's an emergency report. What's even more hateful is that Tang Lin actually has the identity of a reporter from China Television. How could you do this?
Exactly? To put it bluntly, one of their fingers is thicker than our thighs, so what should we do? But if we don’t do it, we will definitely not be able to make a difference if we go back like this. You also saw the attitude of Yue County just now. The key point is that Secretary Zhao is also on the side of Yue County now.
side."
Yang Kunpeng thought for a while, "There is no other way to deal with this matter. Let's guard the door of Tanglin's ward with a shameless face. If someone from China Television comes out, just smile and accompany them. You can't force them not to interview.
But as the Minister of Propaganda, you welcome him with a smile and follow him wherever he goes, right? Isn’t this considered a reception?"
"If you follow me, you won't be wearing a police uniform anyway. I will follow you too. This way, even if nothing changes, you can still do business when you go back."
Liu Yong's eyes lit up after hearing this, "Okay, let's go back to being a brat. Oh, brother, tell me, where will Yue County sing like this? What good will it do him if he continues like this?"
Yang Kunpeng also had a litigious look on his face, "Who says it's not true? Let me tell you the truth. The procedures and testimonies for reporting the crime in Yue County have not been completed yet. Our director is just teasing us. They are justified now.
There is a law and there are connections, and if Yue County does not relax privately, no one can be sure of the final outcome of this matter."
"However, it is impossible for Yuexian County to have no backup plan. There must be a trump card. We just need to do our job well."
