The beginning was serious, and the opposite side was scared by me and called the police!

Chapter 218 Zhang Wei: Why is my client gone?

If it is a public place of business...

Prohibiting someone from entering will violate administrative security regulations and a complaint can be made.

Relevant administrative departments will criticize and educate this behavior, order corrections, and even impose fines.

but……

The actions of these pharmacy owners all happened in their self-operated pharmacies.

Not a public place.

There is no violation of the public security regulations, prohibiting a person from entering, and it will not affect the normal order of society.

therefore.

Their move is completely reasonable and legal in a legal sense.

……

Three days later.

The entrance of the nursing home.

Early in the morning.

Zhang Qingyuan, Li Weiguo, Song Tiancheng and others were very excited and organized their personnel to go to the Intermediate Court.

This is Liu Qiao's third trial.

Each of them took it to heart and couldn't sleep well all night.

"After so many days, I can finally know what happened to Liu Qiao, and I don't know how many things he was found out about."

"According to me, the black-hearted money he earned may be hundreds of millions."

"Hiss! Just by opening a pharmacy, you made hundreds of millions? How much money do you have to make this month?"

"Using five years to calculate, one year and twelve months, he will make at least 160 million yuan a month. How many people will be cheated?"

"..."

When standing at the door to gather.

The more people thought about it, the angrier they became.

It's different from Meng Lei.

At most, Meng Lei is not good at character, cheating his friend's money.

But Liu Qiao...

But it is in the act of curing the disease and saving the patient, entrapping the patient's money.

No medical ethics at all.

"Xiao Qin, hurry up, the court will start soon, it's not good to be late."

Zhang Qingyuan turned his head.

Glancing at Qin Mu who hadn't cleaned up yet, he was quite displeased.

Although the court is listening, you can go in if you are late...

But after all, something is not good.

And it's easy to miss some exciting plots.

Qin Mu: "..."

Looking at the group of old men who are full of interest...

He shook his head helplessly.

I can only follow them and prepare to go to the middle courtyard.

in fact.

This time he sneaked out of his busy schedule, originally planning to fish for a day, and didn't want to go to the court hearing.

The case is up to now.

Liu Qiao and the lawyer are destined to be sentenced.

This trial...

Sentencing is mainly based on the crimes committed by the two people.

He can just look at the ruling document website afterwards.

but……

Lao Zhang and the others begged for nothing, so they insisted on dragging him along.

Said it was to let him witness the fate of Liu Qiao and the lawyer with his own eyes.

"Let's go."

after getting ready.

Qin Mu led Zhang Qingyuan and others to the intermediate court in a mighty manner.

……

Nine twenty.

Under the rush.

Qin Mu rushed to the court with Lao Zhang and others.

Just walked into the courthouse.

Because there are too many people...

This aroused the vigilance of the staff in the court again, and more than a dozen bailiffs came out one after another.

Look at them with scrutiny.

"We're here to attend the audition."

The corner of Qin Mu's mouth twitched, and he explained it to the bailiffs.

unknown……

I thought he was leading a group of old men to blackmail the court.

"Liu Qiao's case is in the First Criminal Court."

One of the bailiffs with a dark face pointed out the way for everyone.

After the last trial...

The bailiffs of the Intermediate Court are more or less used to the presence of the mighty old people listening in.

Although it was unavoidable to be a little shocked, it was much calmer than last time.

These old men...

It is true that I came here to participate in the audition.

"Let's go."

Qin Mu nodded.

He led Zhang Qingyuan and others into the First Criminal Tribunal.

"There is no one there."

Zhang Qingyuan took the lead and sat in one of the auditoriums.

glance right and left.

It was found that they were the first batch to enter the criminal court.

As for the public prosecutor, the defendant, and the lawyers, none of them were present yet.

"The court starts at ten o'clock, of course there is no one."

Qin Mu yawned and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

The energy of these old men...

is really exuberant.

Pulled him here early in the morning.

At this point, not to mention the public prosecutor and the defendant, not even the staff of the trial court came in.

of course.

Those bailiffs...

Instead, he stared at them the whole time, for fear that they would cause any confusion.

after all……

These old men are all seven or eighty years old.

Trembling.

Everyone is on crutches.

Although the body is still healthy, if there is a bump, it will be troublesome.

According to the no-fault principle...

If there are elderly people who are injured in the courthouse or something, they all need to bear a certain amount of responsibility.

Time passed slowly.

At nine forty.

The door of the trial court opened suddenly, in the direction of the detention room...

Two familiar figures appeared.

Liu Qiao and Zhang Kuang were escorted by two groups of bailiffs and brought into the trial court.

"Come on, let's see how Liu Qiao can argue this time."

"I don't know who their defense lawyer is, why hasn't anyone shown up yet?"

"This lawyer is the first one I've ever seen who helps others to file a lawsuit but sends himself in, and it's good enough."

"Xiao Qin, how long will this lawyer be sentenced?"

"..."

In the auditorium.

Zhang Qingyuan and others couldn't wait to talk.

Court has not yet started.

So they are very loud.

There was a commotion in the courtroom.

Immediately attracted the attention of Liu Qiao and Zhang Kuang.

The expressions of the two...

vary.

Liu Qiao frowned, his face full of bewilderment.

He didn't expect...

During this trial, I saw this group of familiar old people on crutches again.

in the end……

Instead, these old people became the people who cared about him the most.

have to say.

It's an irony.

On the other hand, Zhang Kuang swallowed his saliva and kept scanning the auditorium.

at last.

From an old man's side, I found that familiar face.

His body trembled violently.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Really... it's him!"

Seeing that Qin Mu was also looking at him, he quickly withdrew his gaze.

Head down.

this face...

He is so familiar.

As a lawyer in Jincheng.

Almost everyone didn't know Qin Mu.

Those three thousand defendants...

It was all divided up by lawyers big and small in Jincheng.

"What Zhang Wei said is indeed true. Behind these old men... I didn't expect Qin Mu to be hiding!"

He gasped, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Zhang Wei's words...

The sound is still in my ears, vivid in my eyes.

The fate of sitting opposite Qin Mu is the kind of punishment!

just now.

He is taking personal actions to fulfill this matter!
And in the auditorium.

Qin Mu didn't know that he had brought such great fear to Zhang Kuang.

He turned sideways.

Looking at Zhang Qingyuan and the others, he explained: "The lawyers for the two should be hired separately. The interests of the two are in opposition to each other in this incident, and the same lawyer cannot be hired."

According to the Criminal Procedure Code.

Defendant's attorney...

The rights and interests of the defendant must be defended, and the stand needs to be firm.

However, Zhang Kuang and Liu Qiao had conflicts of interest, they reported and exposed each other, and tried to shirk responsibility.

Naturally, it is impossible to hire the same lawyer.

"Then does Liu Qiao have the money to hire a lawyer?"

Li Weiguo couldn't help asking after hearing this.

Meng Lei's precedent is the first.

Coupled with the investigation by the procuratorate, all of Liu Qiao's accounts will inevitably be frozen.

He even suspected that Liu Qiao had no money to hire a lawyer.

"There should be. The only account banned is Liu Qiao's account. His wife's or friend's account...should not be banned."

Qin Mu thought for a while, and then explained.

Meng Lei is such a wonderful...

After all, they are still a minority.

He relied on his own "personality charm" to make himself penniless.

No one is willing to pay him for a lawyer.

And Liu Qiao shouldn't be there.

as predicted.

He just finished speaking.

Outside the trial court, two defense lawyers walked in one after another.

One of the……

Or his old acquaintance, Zhang Wei.

"Qin Mu, long time no see."

After seeing myself.

Zhang Wei walked over and said hello.

Qin Mu was also quite surprised, and couldn't help but ask, "Who are you... defending?"

This defense...

There are two defendants, Liu Qiao and Zhang Kuang.

to be frank.

This time Zhang Wei's defense was a bit more difficult.

Both are heading for the maximum sentence.

"I'm an insane defense attorney."

Zhang Wei pointed to one side of the dock and said, "He is my classmate."

Qin Mu was stunned for a moment.

Can't help looking at Zhang Kuang, and found that Zhang Kuang's body was trembling slightly.

It seems a little scared.

at this time.

The presiding judge walked into the courtroom with two judges and jurors.

"Boom-"

Accompanied by the sound of the gavel.

The solemn voice echoed all around.

"Today, the No. [-] Criminal Division of the Jincheng Intermediate Court will hold another trial on Liu Qiao's suspected money laundering and bribery case. This case will continue the unfinished trial work of the previous trial and continue the trial."

"Next, read the court discipline."

5 minute later.

The court discipline is read out.

The presiding judge scanned the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Now, please read the indictment again and state your claims."

The voice just fell.

On the prosecution bench.

A public prosecutor stood up and said in a deep voice: "The defendant Liu Qiao, in the past six years, used the identity information of his relatives and friends to run a pharmacy, and colluded with doctors to make illegal profits."

"After investigation, during the six-year period, Liu Qiao's pharmacy has accumulated illegal profits of more than 1.6 million yuan."

"More than 7000 million of them are suspected of money laundering..."

The public prosecutor was forceful, stating the newly discovered criminal facts one by one.

After a full 10 minutes.

Only then did the crimes committed by Liu Qiao be fully explained.

"Therefore, our court requests the court to sentence Liu Qiao to 20 years' imprisonment and confiscate all property."

At last.

Prosecutors have spoken out about their proposed sentences.

After continuous discoveries and searches, they finally found out all the crimes committed by Liu Qiao.

The tip of the iceberg, all emerged.

And such amazing illegal gains...

Enough to allow the sentencing to continue to accumulate and superimpose.

"Furthermore, the defendant, Zhang Kuang, tried to help Liu Qiao get rid of the crime while assisting Liu Qiao in his defense, and participated in bribery, which is a crime of abetting."

"Ask the court to sentence him to the crime of offering bribes, to six years in prison and a fine of 2 yuan."

Just finished speaking.

The entire court fell into a brief silence.

Even Zhang Qingyuan and others in the auditorium...

There was a brief moment of astonishment.

The fact that the public prosecutor accused is really too sensational.

1.6 billion yuan!

This is an astronomical figure that they cannot imagine!

Many people can't earn it in their lifetime.

Also so far...

Among the defendants they have seen, the richest one!
"This Liu Qiao, who can't think of hiding so deeply, is so rich?"

"If Meng Lei meets him, he will definitely have to borrow money from him."

"It's too aggressive. Opening a few pharmacies, is it possible to make money like this?"

"I have lived for decades, but I still have too little experience."

"..."

The crowd mourned.

I am extremely amazed at Liu Qiao's series of criminal facts.

Operating for six years.

Earned a small goal directly.

If this talent is used elsewhere...

It can definitely make a name for itself.

"I thought it was a small shrimp, but I didn't expect...it was a big fish."

In the middle of the auditorium.

Qin Mu calmly glanced at Liu Qiao in the dock, also filled with emotion.

original.

He thought it was over.

But several times and three times, new incidents were involved.

Liu Qiao's sentence has also continued to accumulate, adding up to 20 years.

This is the case he encountered...

The second sentence went straight to 20 years!
that time before...

It was the same middle-aged couple who occupied Zhang Qingyuan's son's house.

"Next, the defendant is invited to speak on the prosecutor's complaint and respond."

in court.

The presiding judge struck the gavel, and then spoke.

And in the dock.

At this time, Liu Qiao's face was ashen, and he no longer had the desire to survive before.

during the investigation.

He couldn't stand the interrogation and had already confessed his many crimes.

Now I just hope that the sentence can be reduced by a few years.

thought here.

He couldn't help but look at the defense lawyer beside him, showing a pleading look.

The defense attorney...

It was his friend who helped him find it.

All his current accounts are all frozen, and he can't afford the lawyer's fees at all.

"During the investigation, our party actively cooperated and truthfully explained the facts of the crime. According to the relevant criminal law, the sentence should be given lightly and discretionally. We believe that... 20 years of fixed-term imprisonment is not reasonable."

The lawyer took a step forward and began trying to plead for a reduced sentence.

The case is up to now.

All the evidence is there.

Any lawyer who goes to the scene can only defend the reduced sentence.

And then.

Zhang Wei also took a step forward and defended Zhang Kuang: "We believe that the prosecutor's punishment for our client's complaint is too high and biased."

"Although our client has instigated, abetted, and executed acts, but subjectively, it is only to earn lawyers' fees, which cannot be simply attributed to abetting crimes, but should be classified as joint crimes."

"In the joint crime, his role is secondary, not a core criminal, but an accomplice."

"The bribe money was also provided by Liu Qiao..."

in this link.

He put forward the concept of joint crime, trying to defend Zhang Kuang as an accomplice.

Only the accomplice...

Sentences may be reduced as appropriate.

"Since this is the case, the focus of controversy in this case is the sentencing."

Hearing the words, the presiding judge continued to conclude: "Next, we will enter the link of proof and cross-examination."

The trial continues.

Prosecutors stepped forward one by one, showing all kinds of criminal evidence they possessed one after another.

These criminal evidences...

They are enough to testify against Liu Qiao and Zhang Kuang's crimes.

In this link, the defense lawyers of the two defendants did not struggle.

Two 10 minutes later.

The cross-examination is over.

Then there is the intense free debate session.

in this link.

Zhang Wei pre-empted the attack, arguing his own responsibility to Liu Qiao.

And the other side's defense attorney...

It seems that I haven't done enough homework, and I can't stand it anymore.

He was overwhelmed by Zhang Wei's well-founded defense.

Auditorium.

Zhang Qingyuan and the others were confused.

For these legal terms...

None of them know very well.

I have no idea who has the upper hand right now.

Without any choice.

He could only look at Qin Mu.

"Now it should be Zhang Wei's advantage. He defended abetting the crime as a joint crime, and tried to commute Zhang Kuang's sentence from the perspective of an accessory. This defense line is very reasonable."

Glancing at the bailiff next to him, Qin Mu explained in a low voice.

There is no doubt about Zhang Wei's strength.

In other respects, maybe not as good as other lawyers.

But when it comes to reducing sentences...

But it is the absolute king.

The thinking is clear and the defense is decent.

Press the opponent the whole time.

According to the current development trend...

Zhang Kuang's sentence can be reduced by at least one or two years.

But for Liu Qiao...

As long as his cumulative sentence does not exceed 35 years, the maximum sentence will only be 20 years in prison.

So the difference is not that big.

however……

in the dock.

Liu Qiao watched Zhang Wei's wonderful operation, and suddenly stood up.

He stared at Zhang Kuang next to him.

His face was full of resentment.

The grievances of the last court trial seem to have continued to this moment.

"Judge, I have something to report. When I asked Zhang Kuang to defend him, he hinted that I can continue to have a relationship."

He gritted his teeth and testified word by word: "He also told me that he has fought several lawsuits before, and they have been so successful..."

Not finished yet.

Zhang Kuang's complexion changed drastically, and he quickly said angrily: "Liu Qiao! Don't spout blood, when did I tell you this kind of thing?"

Liu Qiao sneered and said, "No? When you told me that you wanted 100 million legal fees, you also showed me several cases where you defended people's innocence!"

During the interrogation.

He was only concerned with explaining his crime.

Almost forgot to be arrogant.

It wasn't until he went to court that Zhang Kuang's sentence was much lower than his.

He will be sentenced to 20 years, but Zhang Kuang only needs to be sentenced to six years!

This makes his psychology very unbalanced!
To know.

In the last trial, if Zhang Kuang had not reported his hidden account, his other criminal facts would not have been found out.

All his property is now frozen.

The sentence was also increased to 20 years.

Seeing Zhang Kuang defending the commutation of his sentence, he became very angry.

Inspiration.

Simply reported again.

"Presiding judge, judges, Zhang Kuang told me at the time that these few cases of his were settled..."

In order to pull Zhang Kuang into the water, he recalled all what Zhang Kuang said at that time.

then.

He finished his first trial and looked for a new lawyer.

Zhang Kuang volunteered, saying that he could help him fight for innocence, and even if it was bad, he could reduce it to less than ten years.

that's it.

He believed in Zhang Kuang.

Unexpectedly...

Later, when the crime was discovered, Zhang Kuang directly reported his other accounts during the trial.

……

Intermediate Court.

First Criminal Tribunal.

now.

The huge court suddenly became silent.

After Liu Qiao finished speaking.

Everyone fell into silence.

Zhang Kuang twitched all over with anger, his gaze wished to kill someone.

And the lawyer's seat.

Zhang Wei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and took a step away from Zhang Kuang calmly.

This classmate of his...

It seems to be more powerful than he imagined.

He actually did such a big thing.

In the auditorium.

Zhang Qingyuan, Li Weiguo, Song Tiancheng, Su Yongnian and other old people were all dumbfounded.

Eye-opener.

case……

The reversal happened again.

In the free debate session, all litigation participants can speak.

And Liu Qiao's speech undoubtedly changed the direction of this trial.

"What the hell does that mean? He's done it before?"

"Doesn't that mean... this lawyer has succeeded before?"

"So, how did he manage it?"

"Why do I feel that the water is getting deeper and deeper?"

"..."

Everyone swallowed.

Some panic.

this case...

It's just that the more you check, the bigger it is, and the more you check, the more you check.

First, because of Liu Qiao, the staff of several other hospitals were involved.

A few days after hearing...

Trials will focus on the crimes committed by these hospital staff.

And now...

Even through madness, some established sentencing cases in the past were involved.

"This case... I'm afraid the trial will never end."

Qin Mu looked at Liu Qiao who was "playing wonderfully" and sighed softly.

this play...

I really don't know when it's a head.

"Presiding judge, don't listen to his nonsense. My previous cases... are because I discussed it with the victim's family. I understood it with emotion and moved it with reason. There was absolutely no bribery!"

And in the dock.

Zhang Kuang came to his senses and continued to defend himself: "I was just bragging at the time, absolutely not..."

Can be in court.

The presiding judge frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "This case is about the defendant's crazy new criminal facts. Because the facts are not clear, we need to wait for the investigation before the trial. The bailiff will take him away first."

"Today, Liu Qiao's case will be heard first."

Subsequently.

He suspended the insolent trial and sentencing, and focused on Liu Qiao.

If there are new criminal facts, it cannot be tried hastily.

Need to find out to know.

Followed by.

The bailiff stepped forward and took Zhang Kuang out of the courtroom.

Only Liu Qiao was left in the dock.

And Liu Qiao's defense lawyer continued to step forward to defend Liu Qiao.

Opportunity for a reduced sentence.

only……

Liu Qiao's illegal income is really too huge.

Very difficult to reduce.

And on the bar.

Zhang Wei suddenly took a break and sat on the bench.

He stared blankly at the progress of the four-week trial.

The mood is quite complicated.

He has been a lawyer for so many years, and this is the first time he encountered a situation where a client was suddenly taken away during a trial.

a time.

He was suddenly useless.

Although it is a free debate session, it is not true for him to speak, nor is he not to speak.

his client...

They are not there anymore.

At this moment, he only felt that he was very redundant.

Swallowed.

He couldn't help but look towards the auditorium, feeling a little impulsive to sit in the auditorium.

pity……

The auditorium seats are full, all old men.

Furthermore.

During the trial, litigants in the courtroom are prohibited from walking around at will.

He could only sit blankly on the lawyer's seat.

Watching another lawyer continue to speak and debate with the public prosecutor and the collegial panel.

And he...

I can only play with my fingers boringly.
