Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

  Chapter 57 Meeting the Defendant at Iron Island Prison

  Luo Feixiang knew people from Jincheng Law Firm. Few people knew about this, even he himself had never mentioned it before.

   But he did know one.

   The other party is the head of the criminal team of the Litigation Department of Jincheng Office, and Luo Feixiang and the other party are still old friends.

   Even at the very beginning of this case, he asked this old friend, but the attitude given there was the same as that of other law firms.

   In other words, even Jincheng's lawyers found this case difficult!

   This is not to say that the case is difficult, but that the involvement of the case is too great, and Jin Cheng has many scruples, fearing that it will have a bad influence on his law firm.

   After all, it was poisoning to kill, and the victim was a city councillor, and it was a husband and wife...

   "Professor Luo, since I am going to help, can you briefly tell me how difficult this case is?"

   Zhang Wei walked up to Luo Feixiang and asked in a low voice.

   At this moment, Professor Luo stopped smoking, but also came up.

   "Two charges of first-degree murder, one case of poisoning in a public place, four cases of attempted murder, and even because of this case, the Dongfangdu mail system was paralyzed. You said the impact was serious or not..."

   Halfway through Professor Luo's words, Zhang Wei's facial muscles twitched.

   "Poisoning in a single public place is guaranteed for a period of 3-10 years, and the impact can even reach life or death, plus two murder charges and four attempted murders..."

   If convicted in this case, the defendant is no longer a prisoner. He may have to go down to Naihe Bridge and drink a bowl of Meng Po soup!

   "Okay, I understand. Professor, do you have any information about the case?"

   "There are some, I'll send you an email if you want!"

   "Okay, then when are we going to see the client?"

"The day after tomorrow, I will officially submit the application tomorrow. It is very difficult to meet her, and I need to arrange a meeting time from the prison. This case is too involved and the impact is too serious, so she was temporarily detained in the very high-security "Iron Island Prison" Inside……"

The so-called temporary detention refers to criminals who have committed a major criminal case, and the detention center is afraid that they will not be able to detain the other person or cannot guarantee the personal safety of other suspects in the detention center. Although the detention is temporary, the importance and catastrophic nature of the suspect can also be seen.

   Hearing that people were being held in prison made Zhang Wei even more troubled.

   The other party has made a lot of trouble. Before the trial, he went to prison in advance to "experience life".

   "I understand, then we'll see you the day after tomorrow, we will communicate with you about the case by email!"

   After Zhang Wei and Luo Feixiang agreed, they said goodbye and left.

   He wants to return to the Lin Mansion, check the records of the case, and confirm how to deal with it.

   "Zhang Wei, are you really sure?"

   On the return bus, Xia Qianyue suddenly grabbed Zhang Wei with a worried look on her face.

   Although she is not a law student, as a student of the Criminal Investigation Department, she still understands some basic legal knowledge.

   With so many felonies listed, it is not easy to overturn the case, this case is too tricky!

   But Zhang Wei just rubbed his head, and then smiled: "Hanhan, you have to understand that what I do is not against the law. It is her right that the defendant needs a defense lawyer, and I am her defense lawyer."

"Even the most wicked person has the right to find a lawyer. No matter what the client has done, this matter has nothing to do with the lawyer. We are just a temporary cooperative relationship based on the employment contract, so even if she kills her 10,000 people, and I will not be implicated in any way.”

   Zhang Wei said, and touched Xia Qianyue's clean forehead, just like a father comforting his child, his eyes full of love.

  Xia Qianyue was very intoxicated at first, but suddenly realized that something was wrong.

   She felt that the way Zhang Wei looked at her was not right, just like the way her father looked at her when she was a child.

  Hanhan's forehead had a blue vein that burst out, she couldn't bear it anymore!

   "Zhang Wei, you treat me like a child and beat me!"

   "Hanhan, misunderstanding..."

   In the eyes of the passengers on the bus, the two started an unconventional "flirting".

  …

   Although a little reluctant.

   But Zhang Wei and Xia Qianyue were separated and returned to the Lin Mansion alone.

   He went back to the room and opened the notebook.

Ding--

  The reminder of the mailbox shows that Luo Feixiang's mail has come.

   Zhang Wei hurriedly opened the email and began to view the content.

   As the lines of words came into his eyes, his brows were furrowed, and the word "Chuan" was twisted on his forehead.

  Luo Feixiang had collected a lot of case information, or there was so much information that Zhang Wei had to read and write down all the information, and then he needed to combine and organize it again to understand what happened.

   Fortunately, the most important thing he does not lack is time.

   One night, he had dozens of hours to use.

   After "hours" of struggle, Zhang Wei finally sorted out the incident.

  The defendant's name is Wang Yuqing, a doctoral researcher at the Biological Research Laboratory affiliated to Dongfang Metropolitan Medical University. She was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, poisoning in a public place, and four counts of attempted murder...

   It can be said that once convicted, she will either spend the rest of her life in prison, or her life will fast-forward to the end, with no other possibility.

   And the case has to start half a month ago.

   In mid-December, the office of Mr. Yang, a member of the Eastern Metropolitan Council, received a letter, but the envelope was not filled with a letter, but was artificially filled with some kind of fungal powder that was extremely harmful to the human body.

  Mr. Yang opened the letter without knowing it, and his wife was infected with a fungus. The last two died within 24 hours.

  The Eastern City Council was outraged and ordered a strict investigation into the source of the letter.

  The Investigation Division was ordered to join hands with the Department of Health to trace the source of the letter. It was found that the source of the letter was a public mailbox in the city, and it was found that the sender of the letter not only sent the letter to Mr. Yang alone.

The Eastern Metropolitan Council urgently ordered to block the city's mail system and check for mails with highly toxic fungi. After a week of investigation, they found that there were 4 similar mails. Fortunately, the recipients received the message in time, and none of them opened the envelope. , and avoid the same fate as Mr. Yang.

  In the end, after investigation, the investigation department found that the fungus came from the laboratory of the University of Medical Sciences, and there were only 5 people who could come into contact with the fungus, including the defendant.

  5 people were quickly controlled by the investigation department. After investigation one by one, the investigation department finally identified Wang Yuqing as the murderer.

   As for the specific content of the investigation and interrogation, the email did not mention it.

   The above is what Luo Feixiang collected about the incident...

   How the Investigation Section and the Department of Health confirmed the source of the fungus and identified Wang Yuqing as the murderer is a confidential matter. Zhang Wei is not yet the defendant's attorney, and the details of the investigation cannot be accessed for the time being.

   "So, there are 5 suspects in total?"

   Zhang Wei looked at all the case information in front of him and began to think step by step.

  Wang Yuqing was only one of the people who was able to come into contact with the poisonous fungi, and there were 4 people left. How did the investigation department determine that the other 4 people were not suspected and that Wang Yuqing was the murderer?

   This is the first problem he has to solve.

   The second question, why did the murderer target the City Council member Yang and his wife, and who are the other 4 people, and why did they also target them.

   The third question, since the murderer was poisoning in a public mailbox, is there any surveillance nearby, whether the investigation department has confirmed the specific time and the specific perpetrator of the poisoning, and whether they have found clues that point directly to Wang Yuqing.

  Because Wang Yuqing has been imprisoned in Tiesao Prison, it means that the Investigation Department and the District Prosecution Headquarters have already identified her as the murderer, and even had to imprison her in jail pending trial for the sake of public safety.

   "Let's talk about it when I see the client the day after tomorrow. Whether she can be my client or not depends on what she says..."

   Zhang Wei thought so and closed the laptop.

   A little tired today, and after watching so many things, he needs a good rest.

  …

   Two days later.

   The appointed time with Professor Luo has come.

   Zhang Wei walked to the door on the second floor early in the morning and was about to raise his hand...

   "Stop shouting, stop shouting, I get it!"

   Before he could knock on the door, Zhao Xiaoxiao's impatient voice came from the door.

   As expected of the second daughter, she has learned to predict in advance!

   "Although you told me to stop shouting, I still want to tell you that I am going to see the client today, and I may not be able to come back for a day. Take care of yourself."

   "Oh, I see, you go, go..."

  In the door, Zhao Xiaoxiao is not too annoying, but the meaning of urging is very obvious.

   Zhang Wei sighed helplessly, these two girls are not as good as the big girl, they hide themselves in the room every day and don't come out to see people.

   He found that she was a lively and energetic girl. No wonder parents like cheerful children.

   "Okay, I'll go~"

   Zhang Wei said and left the Lin Mansion.

   He came to the intersection of Sifangmen Street and began to wait.

   Not long after, a white car stopped in front of Zhang Wei.

   He could see at a glance that this car was made by a local car company in Dongfang Capital. It belongs to the mid-end class. The landing price is between 140,000 and 170,000. It is a relatively practical public vehicle.

   It can be seen from the style and counterfeiting of the car that Luo Feixiang has no money.

  You ask why, it's very simple, this car is practical.

  In Oriental Capital, the less practical the car you drive, the richer you are!

  The east is a plain city. You are driving an off-road vehicle with more than one million yuan. What else can you do other than pretend?

   In the driver's seat, Luo Feixiang stuck his head out.

   "Zhang Wei, get in the car!"

  Zhang Wei naturally got on the co-pilot, fastened his seat belt and set off.

   "By the way, why do you live here?"

   "What's the matter, is there any problem with Sifangmen Street?"

   "It's nothing, I just heard an old professor say that Sifangmen Street seems to live in the "noble people" of the Oriental Capital, but I can't remember exactly what they said. "

  Professor Luo mentioned, but Zhang Wei didn't take it to heart.

   Even if they are nobles, I guess they have all moved out.

  This is a commercial street now. What kind of nobles can live there? The most honorable person he knew in Sifangmen Street was Zhao Qingyan, the owner of the Zhao residence next door.

   But the other party is also a programmer...

   The two started to hit the road, Luo Feixiang was in charge of driving, and Zhang Wei was looking out the window.

  30 minutes later, they drove out of the second ring road and sailed to the seaside port of Dongfangdu.

  Iron Island Prison is really an island, and it is also a man-made island surrounded by the sea.

   To land at Iron Island Prison, you must take a boat.

   Their current destination is the east coast port of Dongfang Capital, where there are special ships that enter the Iron Island Prison.

   After 1 hour, they arrived at the port and found a parking space on the side of the road for 10 minutes to park the car. The two were already exhausted.

   "I'm too lazy to complain about the traffic in the Eastern Capital..."

   After taking out the briefcase from the car, Zhang Wei couldn't help but complain.

   "No way, the city is developing, this is a necessary price."

  Professor Luo is in a better mood today than a few days ago, at least he can take Zhang Wei's words.

   "Let's go, this is a pass, you need to check it when you board the ship later!"

   He said, and handed Zhang Wei an identification card. This is a temporary pass to enter Iron Island Prison. It must be scanned at the port. If not, the ship will not be boarded.

   It can also be seen that the blockade of Iron Island Prison is very strict, and you need to listen to various checkpoints to enter and exit.

   It is said that the Iron Island Prison is the highest security prison in the south, and all the prisoners are detained here.

   is not a wicked person, and he is not even qualified to be involved here.

   But according to Professor Luo, Wang Yuqing is not that kind of person.

   But who can know if a person who looks harmless to humans and animals on the surface is a vicious murderer behind the scenes?

  The two of Zhang Wei came to the pier at the farthest edge of the port, handed in their ID proofs at the security post, scanned the pass, and then were notified that they were allowed to enter the Iron Island Prison.

   After waiting another 30 minutes, the boat arrived at the pier.

   Said it was a means of transportation. Zhang Wei felt that the speedboat was more like an armed vehicle. There were not members of the war team in camouflage uniforms, and they were equipped with weapons.

   "Really strict enough!"

   Zhang Wei and Luo Feixiang boarded the speedboat with the confirmation of the soldiers, and then drove along the sea route to the Iron Island Prison in the offshore area.

   On the speedboat, the two felt what it meant to be like a light on their backs.

   They are being watched by the soldiers on the vehicle in all directions without any blind spots, and the slightest change may cause the opponent to be alert.

  Professor Luo is a professor at the law school, but when has he been treated like this, so he was very uneasy along the way.

   However, when he saw Zhang Wei beside him acting lightly, even with his hands looking out, watching the sea scenery, he was a little surprised.

   He thought that Zhang Wei was a student and would be more afraid, but he didn't expect that the other party was not afraid at all.

  This kid is not simple, at least his mental quality is stronger than mine!

   This made Luo Feixiang's evaluation of Zhang Wei a little higher.

  A powerful lawyer may not have solid basic knowledge, but he must have a strong heart, which Zhang Wei obviously fits.

  For no reason, he actually had some hope for this trial.

   He felt that Zhang Wei seemed to be able to help him!

  Luo Feixiang shook his head and dispelled these "unrealistic" thoughts. The most urgent task now is to see Wang Yuqing.

   After another 20 minutes by sea, a gray-black artificial island appeared in front of them.

  The island is very large, with a pentagonal shape as a whole, like a sea fortress, but it is several times larger than the city gymnasium in the Oriental Capital.

   It is said that there are more than 1,000 felons detained here, with 400 employees, and a criminal law enforcement team of the war headquarters is also stationed on the island, responsible for suppressing possible riots in the prison.

  Bronze walls and iron walls are impregnable, this is Iron Island Prison.

   Landed at the entrance of the prison, and after listening to the layers of security briefings and security, the two entered the preparation area of ​​the meeting room.

"Hand over all the metal objects on your body, and you can enter the interview room after passing the security check. Our prison will monitor your every move. The interview room has 3 monitors, but the whole process will not be recorded, and your conversations will not be monitored. , you must know this..."

  At the reminder of the security inspectors, after the body search, they had to hand in their mobile phones before they could be released.

   Entered the meeting room and waited for two minutes. Someone appeared in the prison passage on the other side.

   "Rain and sunny!"

   Seeing the person coming, Professor Luo was the first to hold back.

   "A Xiang?"

   The person who came was naturally Wang Yuqing. The nickname between her and Luo Feixiang also made Zhang Wei quite speechless.

  "Xiang" is not a good word...

   Zhang Wei looked at Wang Yuqing. As a former doctoral researcher of the University of Medical Sciences, she can only be described as abject.

   Wearing the orange-yellow prison uniform, his face was morbidly pale, his eyes were red and swollen, and there was no blood.

   It seems that she suffered a lot in prison.

   "Yuqing, are you not being bullied here?"

  Wang Yuqing sat down slumped and gave Luo Feixiang a smile that was uglier than crying: "Everyone here has a separate room, so I'm fine..."

   "You're suffering!" Luo Feixiang hurriedly held the other's hand, and the two were about to chat.

   "Cough cough!" But Zhang Wei had to make this light bulb and hurriedly interrupted.

   "Dr. Wang, let's talk about business first. Did you poison the congressman? That's the crux of the question!"

   "Yes yes yes, listen to Zhang Wei!"

Luo Feixiang hurriedly nodded and introduced: "His name is Zhang Wei, he is a student of our law school, although he is very young, he is a court trial expert with great strength. case!"

  Wang Yuqing didn't hesitate, and quickly denied: "Of course I haven't done it, I haven't even met Mr. Yang, why should I hurt him?"

   "Then here comes the question. The District Attorney's Headquarters decided to prosecute you, not your other colleagues. They should have a lot of evidence in their hands, right?"

   Zhang Wei didn't know much about the headquarters of the District Prosecutor, but he knew that they would definitely collect enough evidence.

  Since the person detained in Iron Island Prison is Wang Yuqing, then among these evidences, there must be irrefutable evidence pointing to the other party.

"I'm not very clear about this, I only know that I was taken away by the people from the Wushu Association that day, and they asked me what I had to say overnight. After a few days, I was taken out of the detention center by them and entered here. "

   "So, they have found evidence against you in the past few days?"

   Zhang Wei narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Yuqing, he wanted to see the change in the other party's expression.

   "I don't know what the evidence is. I only know that I am a scientist who studies biology. The purpose of my research is to develop bacteria that can cure diseases and save people, not poisons!"

   Wang Yuqing's expression was as firm as her tone.

   This made Zhang Wei very satisfied, he knew that he should not have found the wrong person.

   "Then let's start with the first question, Dr. Wang, would you like to entrust me as your defense attorney?"

  Wang Yuqing looked at Luo Feixiang, and when she saw the latter nod, she naturally agreed.

   "Well, now that the entrustment relationship is established, then I want to ask you some questions, I hope you can answer me honestly..."
