To be honest, the killer failed to assassinate Chen Zheng, but Chen Zheng reported it to the police. Fang Zhengxiong was so angry at first that he even called Lao Hei and scolded him for more than ten minutes.
However, after getting angry, he had an idea and came up with a more vicious method.
On the first day, he asked Lao Hei to send people overnight to go to the hospital first. He also killed Ni San with a heavy blow to the back of the head. There were no other witnesses. In their territory, they were all their people, so they couldn't just do whatever they wanted. Fabricating evidence?
No matter how the death of the two waiters is concluded, at least Chen Zheng cannot escape the death of Ni San in any way. At the very least, he must be charged with manslaughter!
It can be said that Fang Zhengxiong, as the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau in charge of criminal investigation, has taken the initiative to a large extent.
"What, the facts are all there, and you still won't tell the truth?" Fang Zhengxiong slammed the table and asked.
"What should I explain?" Chen Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "You know the facts yourself, not to mention that I still have my assistant Bai Rou who can testify for me?"
"You also said that she is your assistant, so her words are not accepted." Fang Zhengxiong said: "What's more, she was also at the scene when the crime occurred. How do we know whether you guys conspired to commit the crime?"
"So? You locked her up too?"
"Yes, although she is not the main suspect now, and her fingerprints were not found on the deceased, the matter is very important, and she must be controlled."
Chen Zheng shook his head helplessly. It seemed that he was the one who got Bai Rou into trouble this time.
"I want to hire a lawyer." Chen Zheng thought for a while and said.
"You can ask for one if you want? Do you think this is the United States? You can ask for a lawyer only after we ask you to ask for one. Hurry up and honestly explain your criminal process!"
Chen Zheng simply kept silent.
Now that I know that Fang Zhengxiong wants to wrongly accuse me. Not to mention, Chen Zheng was not afraid of them inducing him, but it was also easy for them to take his words out of context and use them as evidence in court later.
"What, don't tell me? If you don't tell me, don't blame us for using violence to make you suffer!" Fang Zhengxiong signaled, and the two policemen standing up stood up.
"What, you still want to extract a confession through torture?"
"Logically speaking, this kind of thing is strictly controlled now, so we can't do it like this." Fang Zhengxiong smiled: "But I tell you the truth, even if we beat you. Unless it is to maim you or Beat him to death, otherwise you can¡¯t prove that we have ever beaten you!¡±
Fang Zhengxiong is not joking. No wonder his superiors have repeatedly issued orders to strictly prohibit the use of torture to extract confessions, but the prohibition continues.
First of all, in the detention center, you can¡¯t see a doctor immediately if you say you see a doctor. Therefore, even if you really have scars, you can be detained for a few days first. After the redness and swelling on the body disappear, what's the use of the doctor coming again?
Come second. These grassroots police officers have long mastered a set of techniques that can cause pain without leaving any scars, so they have always been confident.
Chen Zheng felt ridiculous and helpless.
Speaking of which, the Chinese police are really incompetent. Eighty percent of solving crimes depends on the suspect¡¯s confession. In this case, there is no other way to break through, and some people are eager to make a contribution. It will be inevitable to use methods such as inducement and forced confession to pry open the mouth of the suspect.
What¡¯s more, is it intentionally framed?
It seems that today is the time to get a nod, Chen Zheng sighed, because although he has great kung fu, he has his hands cuffed behind his back and cannot block. And even if his hands are free, he is still in a detention center. He couldn't hit the police, otherwise he would be charged with assaulting the police.
"What, you really didn't say anything?" Fang Zhengxiong asked again: "If you confess honestly, it will depend on the court's verdict in the future. If it is manslaughter, it may not be a severe sentence. But if you don't confess, you will be wronged in the detention center Too many people died."
Fang Zhengxiong¡¯s words are not an exaggeration. Ridiculous things like hide-and-seek, hanging with shoelaces, and even sudden death for no reason all happened in the detention center.
Chen Zheng just looked at Fang Zhengxiong and said, "I just hope you remember that whatever you did to me today, I will treat you tenfold."
"Oh, you still dare to threaten the police? You are so arrogant, do it!" Fang Zhengxiong felt that he wanted to give Chen something powerful to try.
But at this moment, the door of the interrogation room opened and another policeman walked in. He leaned next to Fang Zhengxiong and muttered a few words.
"What? The lawyers are here? Drive them away!" Fang Zhengxiong said angrily.
"This is not an ordinary lawyer, but a team of thirty-six lawyers. The chief lawyer - Barrister Deng Ziqiao and Deng from Canghai City,He is the queen's lawyer for many high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen. There are also many professors from law schools in other legal groups, all of whom are not easy to mess with. "The policeman reporting next to him said.
"Such a big pomp?" Fang Zhengxiong couldn't help but glance at Chen Zheng.
That¡¯s right, this thirty-six-member legal team came here because of Chen Zheng. They are Chen Zheng¡¯s entrusted legal team.
Originally, according to Fang Zhengxiong's idea, Chen Zheng and her assistant Bai Rou were arrested. The news would not spread quickly. By the time the real news was released, the case would have been settled, but he did not expect this. The lawyer came so promptly.
"What is the purpose of their coming?" Fang Zhengxiong asked.
¡°We need to apply for bail for Chen Zheng.¡±
"How is this possible? Chen Zheng is a murder suspect and is guilty of serious murder charges. How can such a person be allowed to get bail? Besides, even if it is a minor crime, whether bail can be obtained and the right to approve it lies with our public security organs. !" Fang Zhengxiong scolded: "You are just a jobber, so you didn't know how to reject them?"
"Deputy Director Fang, I know this, but the size of the legal team this time is too large, and the guarantor they hired is not simple. I can't make up my mind, so I came to ask for your advice." The little policeman felt that he had been wronged.
"Who is the guarantor they found?"
"Yesit's Deputy Mayor Hu."
Fang Zhengxiong felt a little embarrassed. After all calculations, Hu Xuefei was missed.
Without Hu Xuefei, no one would have known that Chen Zheng died in the detention center. But what I didn't expect was that Hu Xuefei was not afraid of the repercussions. She stepped forward to be Chen Zheng's guarantor and hired a legal team composed of so many big lawyers for Chen Zheng. It seemed that she really had feelings for this boy.
¡°Let¡¯s go out with me and take a look.¡± Fang Zhengxiong turned around and left the interrogation room.
Soon, Fang Zhengxiong met Chen Zheng¡¯s legal team in the office.
Of course, not all of the thirty-six-member legal team was present. Only five or six barristers came, each of whom was famous in the country. And in addition to these barristers, there was also a representative from the Haigang City People's Procuratorate that they invited.
But Fang Zhengxiong is not afraid of their difficulties. As soon as they met and introduced each other, they immediately used their power.
"Barristers, I think you also know that Article 51 of our country's Criminal Procedure Law clearly stipulates which criminal suspects can be released on bail pending trial. To apply the regulations, they must be released on bail pending trial without causing any social danger. . Usually only suspects who should be sentenced to less than three years in prison can be released on bail. But Chen Zheng is a murder suspect and the murder case is closed. How can he be released on bail pending trial? So you should all go back, I won¡¯t let you go until the case is investigated clearly.¡±
Fang Zhengxiong¡¯s righteous words.
It can be seen that although Fang Zhengxiong is uneducated, at least he can memorize the legal provisions used professionally.
But no matter how familiar he is at memorizing it, he is still not as familiar as these barristers.
The most deadly lawyer in the legal team, Deng Ziqiao, was well prepared and said with a smile: "Deputy Director Fang, you are right, but it is also Article 51 of the country's Criminal Procedure Law. It also stipulates a The situation is such that he can be released on bail pending trial, which just suits Mr. Chen Zheng.¡±
¡°It¡¯s not like Chen Zheng is pregnant and in excellent health, and it¡¯s not like the legal deadline has expired and the case cannot be closed, what other circumstances can allow him to be released on bail pending trial?¡± Fang Zhengxiong asked.
"According to the provisions of Paragraph 5, although the public security organ has arrested the suspect, if the People's Procuratorate does not approve it, if the investigation needs to continue, the suspect can be released on bail pending trial in accordance with the law." Lawyer Deng Ziqiao said: "It just so happened that we Come with this comrade from the Procuratorate. He is here to deliver this notice to you."
"That's right," the comrade from the procuratorate next to him took out a notice with an official seal and said, "This is a notice from our procuratorate that does not approve the arrest. I have been specifically ordered to come and issue it. Deputy Director Fang, please Check it out.¡±
Fang Zhengxiong took it and looked at it carefully.
The reason given above for not approving the arrest is also very simple: there is insufficient evidence.
First of all, there is no direct evidence pointing to Chen Zheng in the death of the two waiters. Although Ni San¡¯s fingerprints were wiped off the murder weapon of the three-edged bayonet, there were also no fingerprints of Chen Zheng. According to the presumption of innocence, Chen Zheng should not be arrested.
Secondly, as for Ni San¡¯s death, there is also a lot of controversy. Even if he was really beaten to death by Chen Zheng, at least he did not die on the spot. It is said that it was just an accidental injury, not to mention that there is no final conclusion yet.
Based on Chen Zheng¡¯s identity, how many days of arrest will result in the loss of economic benefits?If he is not guilty in the end, who will pay the compensation? Therefore, this situation does not warrant an arrest. It depends on whether the public security organs can reach other conclusions in the follow-up investigation.
Fang Zhengxiong couldn't help but sigh, this Chen Zheng is really capable. In one day, he even established relations with the procuratorate. It was obvious that Hu Xuefei was very helpful.
The more he thought about this, the more intense Fang Zhengxiong's jealousy became.
"Deputy Director Fang, I don't need to say more. The People's Procuratorate will not approve the arrest. No matter how reluctant you are, you should still let me go!" Lawyer Deng said.
This is true. Of course, Chen Zheng can be detained for twenty-four hours according to the law. However, it has been more than one day and one night since Chen Zheng was arrested, and the twenty-four hours is not long.
Anyway, the news has spread, and locking him up for a few more hours will have no effect. And because the time limit was approaching, he couldn't really be tortured to extract a confession, otherwise it would be easy to detect his injuries when he got out.
Then it would be better to let him go first, and then go back and go through the connections yourself. If the procuratorate at the same level does not approve, then you can go directly to the next level to issue the arrest notice. It is expected that Hu Xuefei is an official and an economic person, how can the judicial organs understand it on her own? ?
Thinking of this, Fang Zhengxiong nodded: "In that case, it is okay to apply for bail for the suspect, but he cannot leave Haigang City, and he must be there whenever he is called!"
"This is natural." Lawyer Deng nodded: "Mr. Chen Zheng is a good citizen and will definitely help the police find out the truth of the matter. I just hope that a good person will not be wronged."
¡¡
After completing all the procedures, it was almost noon when Chen Zheng and Bai Rou came out of the detention center.
We got in the car and went all the way back to the hotel. We met with all the lawyers first.
Chen Zheng had already guessed the reason for these lawyers coming, and sure enough, upon asking, it was Hu Xuefei who got the news. It was arranged for him because Haigang City was a small county-level city and there were no barristers. Therefore, Hu Xuefei called Canghai City and asked Secretary Ma and Mayor Hao for help. They used all means to hire well-known domestic barristers. All were invited.
Fortunately, they came in time and saved Chen Zheng from physical pain. Chen Zheng expressed his gratitude to them specially. Later, under questioning from lawyers. Chen Zheng told the lawyers in the legal team what happened on the day of the incident, as well as the ins and outs of the incident and the situation in the detention center.
"Mr. Chen, if you go by what you said, this matter will be more difficult to handle." Lawyer Deng pondered for a moment and said, "Because what you said, if it goes to court, will be just conjecture without any evidence. The judge will not On the contrary, Deputy Director Fang Zhengxiong is in charge of this case and can collect a lot of evidence against you. "
This sentence is correct. Chen Zheng also thought of it. If Fang Zhengxiong wanted to wrong him, he would never give up. Maybe other so-called "human witnesses" or "physical evidence" will be found in the future, which is simply impossible to guard against.
"According to the principle of our country's judiciary, whoever accuses and who gives evidence, if we really want to prove that Deputy Director Fang Zhengxiong knew the law and broke the law, we have to find evidence, Mr. Chen Zheng." Lawyer Deng added: "This case. As long as there is conclusive evidence pointing to Fang Zhengxiong If you have the evidence, it will be easy to win. Otherwise, we will be passive and we can only wait and see whether the police will release any new 'evidence' against you, Mr. Chen Zheng."
"It seems that in the next stage, I have to do my best to do this." Chen Zheng nodded, and then he could no longer rely on lawyers to collect evidence, but could only rely on himself. Then he said to those lawyers: " Thank you very much for coming to help me handle this lawsuit. You have just arrived, so please rest and leave the rest to me. When I find the evidence, I will ask you to help me. "
"Mr. Chen Zheng, please rest assured that this is our job. Even if there is no other evidence, we can minimize your trouble under the current circumstances." Deng Ziqiao said on behalf of other lawyers.
Chen Zhengzheng needs a group of lawyers to provide him with legal advice. Since he has already invited them, he will not let them go until the case is over.
???????????????????Afterwards, Bai Rou negotiated the salary with them again, and then occupied an entire floor in this hotel for these lawyers to live.
Of course, Chen Zheng paid for everything, but these expenses were just a drop in the bucket for Chen Zheng in this matter.
After all these trivial matters were settled, Bai Rou returned to Chen Zheng's room again. Seeing Chen Zheng deep in thought, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother Da Zheng, what should we do next?"
"This incident has affected you." Chen Zheng felt quite guilty.
"It's nothing, and yesterday morning, if you hadn't responded promptly, Brother Da Zheng, I might have"?The killer was killed. Bai Rou said: "What we should be thinking about most now is how to find evidence and clear away the suspicion so that Fang Zhengxiong not only cannot frame you, but also allows him to reap the consequences." "
"That's right." Chen Zheng nodded.
Although Chen Zheng has faced many powerful opponents, such as the murderous warlords he encountered in Africa, that situation can be resolved with violence.
But sometimes, violence is not omnipotent. Chen Zheng has already thought about it. If you come to understand with me, I will also come to understand with you; if you come to conceal with me, I will also conceal with you.
And if you want to frame me, then I will also frame you. This is the real eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!
After talking to Bai Rou about these thoughts, Bai Rou pondered: "But if you want to frame him, you have to clear your own suspicions first, but how can you catch them on how to frame you?"
Chen Zheng was silent for a moment.
"There must be a thread among these things that connects all people and things. As long as this thread is drawn out, it will be much easier to find evidence. But where is the thread and where do we start? This is a question. Problem." Bai Rou said again.
Indeed, the killer is dead and there are no other witnesses. As for who Fang Zhengxiong found the killer through, and what is the relationship between them, no one else knows anything about these behind-the-scenes things.
"Yes!" Chen Zheng suddenly thought: "If according to what the police said, the killer named Ni San first spent the night in the bathing center with a witness, and then came out to see me early in the morning. It is precisely because of this that it is proved that Ni San did not carry the Mitsubishi Army Thorn as a weapon. "
When you take a shower in a bath center, you put your clothes in the lockers, and then you take off your clothes and take a shower. And according to that bath center, the space for storing clothes is not big. You can put folded items, but you can't put them there anyway. No less than a Mitsubishi Army Spur as long as a stick.
¡°This way, it can indeed be proved that the killer Ni San did not carry such a weapon.
Then the witness was able to testify that he personally escorted Ni San to the door of Chen Zheng¡¯s hotel and watched him enter.
It¡¯s no wonder that Fang Zhengxiong thought of this method, not to mention that the murder weapon did not have Ni San¡¯s fingerprints, so where did this weapon come from? Chen Zheng's suspicion was no longer clear.
Bai Rou nodded and said, "The police told the lawyer the same thing, and the lawyer couldn't find any loopholes to refute."
"This bath center and the so-called witness played the same role, acting as perjury. We can't find the witness. He must have been protected. Then our clue will come from this bath center. Start looking for it!" Chen Zheng said.
