The investigation and evidence collection work started overnight. Although the investigators of the Municipal Bureau could not face the subject of the investigation, Chen Jiemin's legal team all had regular lawyer licenses, so it was very convenient to check the information.
Soon, an important piece of information came into view of the investigators.
Wang Guangzhu, the chief lawyer of the legal team, operates many industries, the largest of which is a company that deals in traditional Chinese medicine.
Wang Guangzhu is a native of Nanyang. This company is very profitable. In the details of the company's business transactions, the investigators found a familiar name - Xinglin Villa.
Moreover, the transaction time of these businesses was a few months ago, that is, the days before Lin Yuan took over Xinglin Villa.
It can be said that business happened frequently before, but after Lin Yuan took over Xinglin Villa, such business immediately disappeared.
Zhong Quansheng came to the position during the time when Lin Yuan was making trouble in Nanyang, due to a major change in the personnel of the municipal bureau. Therefore, Zhong Quansheng is relatively familiar with Lin Yuan's situation.
Zhong Quansheng has been paying close attention to what happened to Lin Yuan this time. Although he is not used for anything, he still has a lot of relevant information.
Even Zhong Quansheng knew a lot about Zhang Lianyu and Lin Yuan's personal grudges. As soon as he saw that Wang Guangzhu had this connection, he immediately dug deeper and found that Wang Guangzhu had recently taken over another case that he needed to handle personally, but suddenly Entrust someone else to handle it and take over Chen Jiemin's case.
Zhong Quansheng immediately reported the situation to Zheng Tianfeng. Zheng Tianfeng was a little surprised that such a big breakthrough could be made as soon as he took over, so he instructed Zhong Quansheng to interview Wang Guangzhu immediately.
Lin Yuan felt that he had grasped the key point of the whole matter, so he discussed with Zheng Tianfeng and adopted a certain strategy to take down Wang Guangzhu, so that the truth of the matter could be revealed.
Zheng Tianfeng thought about it and felt that Lin Yuan's idea was correct, so he agreed to follow Lin Yuan's plan.
Wang Guangzhu arrived at the city bureau and found that in addition to the police officers, Zheng Tianfeng and Lin Yuan were also present. He immediately realized something and said, "What you did is suspected of violating the rules."
Zheng Tianfeng smiled and said, "Everything we do is based on the law. We are not the judges of the cases you take over, so it does not count as a violation."
Wang Guangzhu pointed at Lin Yuan and said: "He is a party to the case I took over. According to regulations, people with interests in both the original and the defendant are not allowed to have private contact. Isn't this a violation?"
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Lawyer Wang, please be patient. Just now, I have accepted an out-of-court settlement and am no longer a party. This is not considered a violation, right? Moreover, I am a specially appointed expert of the Ministry of Public Security. Is there anything wrong with working with people from the police system to handle cases?"
Wang Guangzhu was dumbfounded: "What? Settlement out of court? How come I didn't know?"
After a brief period of confusion, Wang Guangzhu immediately figured it out. The subject representative of the parties in the case was Chen Jiemin, and he had the right to settle with other parties whether through a lawyer or not.
In ordinary cases, the client must communicate with the lawyer before making a decision, because it involves the client's interests.
But the special thing about Chen Jiemin is that he is a member of the system. In other words, Chen Jiemin does not have the right to make independent choices. As long as he exerts a little pressure, he must definitely obey the arrangements for the sake of his own interests within the system.
Therefore, the matter of out-of-court settlement is, to put it bluntly, a matter of order.
Wang Guangzhu figured it out and calmed down. What he did was not illegal. He was not afraid of interviews from Yanjing, not to mention interviews from the city bureau.
"Lawyer Wang, we would like to know who entrusted you to defend Chen Jiemin this time?" Zheng Tianfeng asked.
"Of course it's the client. As lawyers, we only provide legal aid to our clients. Is there any problem?"
"Of course this is not a problem, but you have to know that this case has caused adverse reactions in society. The city bureau is currently investigating. As a lawyer, you should know the importance of cooperating with the public security organs to understand the situation, right?"
"Of course I know this. I was entrusted by Mr. Chen Jiemin to defend him."
"How did Chen Jiemin hire you? Please tell me the specific circumstances. Including what method was used, how much commission was paid, whether you communicated with each other, and who gave you the specific evidence of the case."
"This..." Wang Guangzhu was suddenly stuck. He didn't expect that Zheng Tianfeng would directly ask detailed questions.
"Haha, Lawyer Wang, let's be honest. We can tell whether you are telling the truth without using any means. You should know a case. As long as the same thing is asked a dozen times, as long as it is not the truth, you will
You will answer so hard that even you feel retarded. You are a smart person, do you think it is necessary for us to play this game?"
Sweat broke out on Wang Guangzhu's face. He knew what Zheng Tianfeng said. When studying legal cases, this kind of questioning method was not only used by the police to handle cases, but was also often used by lawyers when questioning witnesses or parties.
method.
You must know that if you want to conceal the truth when faced with questions without preparation, you must lie. And after you tell a lie, you need to use more lies to maintain the lies you told before.
After repeated questions like this several times, the person being questioned will basically collapse. Even though Wang Guangzhu is a lawyer, he is not immune to such questions.
Wang Guangzhu thought for a long time and suddenly said: "You are just asking, I can't remember. You have no right to detain me for more than twenty-four hours."
This is a typical rogue act. Wang Guangzhu is familiar with the law and naturally knows how to protect himself.
Zhong Quansheng smiled and said: "Lawyer Wang, according to the law, we really cannot detain you for such a long time. However, the public security system has the right to seize property suspected of crimes, right?"
As he spoke, Zhong Quansheng took out a stack of information, named the name of a company, and said with a smile: "Lawyer Wang, the municipal bureau suspects that this company is related to the Internet promoters' smear case in Nanyang area. We are involved in the investigation.
During this period, in order to prevent the situation from worsening, the company must be closed. This treatment should be legal, right?"
Wang Guangzhu felt sweat pouring out of his body like a spring. Yes, this is the power of the public security organs. As long as there is suspicion, they have the right to do this.
Of course, this power is strictly supervised. In order to avoid abuse of power, a strict supervision system has been established for this power.
However, Zhong Quansheng said it so unscrupulously, so he was not afraid of you complaining afterwards. Now that Zheng Tianfeng is present, the final decision on the complaint rests with Zheng Tianfeng, and it is probably just criticism and education.
The key is that Wang Guangzhu's company can't afford such trouble. It only takes three days to close the door, which is still short, and the company can be said to have suffered huge losses.
Since ancient times, China has had an ancient saying that the people should not fight with the rich, and the rich should not fight with the officials. This is not just a joke, but a lesson learned through blood.
Wang Guangzhu knew what he had done. Since the Municipal Bureau had called him here, it was definitely not for a heart-to-heart talk.
Zheng Tianfeng wants to build a legal environment, but Zhong Quansheng will make solving the case his first priority. Even in the United States, which has a sound legal system, similar things will happen, let alone China?
After thinking for a long time, Wang Guangzhu said dejectedly: "Secretary Zheng, Director Zhong, I said it was Zhang Lianyu who contacted me urgently and asked me to defend Chen Jiemin. Because we were old clients before, I turned down the case in my hand and rushed Come and take over Chen Jiemin's case."
Zheng Tianfeng and Zhong Quansheng and Lin Yuan looked at each other and smiled, and said: "Lawyer Wang, as far as I know, you came to Nanyang very quickly. Chen Jiemin did not have long contact with you. How did you learn the details of the evidence in this case?"
"It was provided by Zhang Lianyu. When I arrived, his assistant Pei Guobin gave me all the information. I studied the evidence with my team so that we could argue during the trial."
"Do you know how Zhang Lianyu obtained this evidence?"
"Secretary Zheng, I really don't know this. I just use money to do things. Who cares about this?"
Wang Guangzhu's answer was also reasonable, and he asked some other questions. Zheng Tianfeng asked Wang Guangzhu to read the confession and sign it with his fingerprints. Since he had no bad circumstances, he let him go.
After Wang Guangzhu left, Zhong Quansheng said: "Secretary Zheng, we can arrest Zhang Lianyu now. Judging from Wang Guangzhu's testimony, Zhang Lianyu has been suspected of improperly obtaining evidence. We have a good reputation, and if we arrest Zhang Lianyu, we will definitely be able to get it." Come down."
Zheng Tianfeng nodded, looked at Lin Yuan and asked, "Lin Yuan, what do you think?"
"It should be possible. I think the man behind the scenes should be Zhang Lianyu. He has a motive, the time to commit the crime, and the means to commit the crime. Faced with so much evidence, it is difficult for Zhang Lianyu to justify himself. It is estimated that as long as he works harder, he will be able to do it right away. put down."
Zheng Tianfeng pondered for a moment and ordered: "Zhong Quansheng, order the comrades in the city bureau to capture Zhang Lianyu tonight."
Soon, Zhang Lianyu was brought to the city bureau, and he was still greeted by the trio of Zheng Tianfeng, Zhong Quansheng and Lin Yuan.
Zhang Lianyu did not point out any problems like Wang Guangzhu did, but just sat on the chair without saying a word.
Zhong Quansheng smiled faintly and said: "Zhang Lianyu, you should know that without evidence, we will not invite you here. All the evidence has pointed to you. If you don't speak or tell lies, you can't be fooled." Passed."
Zhang Lianyu said in a very sincere tone: "I really don't know why I was brought here. Can you guys remind me what I did to make you bring me here with such a big fanfare?"
Zheng Tianfeng and the other three thought that Zhang Lianyu would resist and might quibble, but they never expected that Zhang Lianyu would push it so cleanly and look like he didn't know anything.
