Detective Files II

Chapter 362 The Sports Car at the Bottom of the Lake

Regardless of the fact that Tian Mi has not worked for a long time, she has seen a lot of murder scenes or visited a lot of places, but speaking of it, this is really the first time for her to come to this law firm.

Many occupations, perhaps to the practitioners themselves, are just one of the ordinary and uncommon occupations in this world, but they are destined to be full of mystery or sacredness in the eyes of outsiders.

It's like the criminal police that Tian Mi worked for, and the lawyer she is going to deal with now with all kinds of imaginations.

In her mind, the image of a lawyer always seems to be inseparable from those in TV dramas, such as sharp eloquence, eloquent standing in court, full of fighting spirit and vitality, and looks like an elite from all sides.

However, when she stood in front of the Guangyuan Law Firm located on a certain floor of the office building, she was choked by the thick second-hand smoke inside and wanted to cough. She was either talking on the phone or wondering what she was doing while looking inside. Or leaning on the back of the chair and chatting with colleagues at the opposite table, she realized that she really has too little life experience, but she has watched too many TV dramas, so that she almost formed a stylized professional impression.

To put it bluntly, a lawyer is also an ordinary person. Leaving aside his professional expertise, when he works, he is actually no different from the employees in other large and small ordinary companies in this building.

"Who are you looking for?" While Tian Mi was standing at the door in a daze, a short, fat middle-aged man came out with a stainless steel teacup in his hand. He turned his face and looked Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong up and down from the corner of his eyes. Fan, with the other free hand, smoothed the few greasy locks of hair from the side to the top of the head, "Lawsuit or consultation?"

I don't know whether it's a personal problem or a professional reason, but the fat man's expression showed obvious arrogance, which made Tian Mi feel very upset when he saw it. She pursed her lips, suppressed her unhappiness, and took out her police officer's card to show him: "We are here to find lawyer Chen Guodong."

When the fat man saw Tian Mi's ID, the contempt in his eyes became even more obvious, he turned around and walked away, stopped after walking a few steps, and casually pointed in the direction of a corner of the office: "Chen Guodong is over there. "

After speaking, without waiting for Tian Mi and the others to respond, he turned and left.

A young man who was sitting at a desk in the corner heard someone calling Chen Guodong, and immediately looked this way, saw Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong also looked at him, got up quickly, a little dazed, and more He greeted him politely.

"I'm Chen Guodong, are you looking for me?" He asked suspiciously.

Tian Mi showed him the ID: "C City Public Security Bureau Serious Crime Squad, I want to ask you for clarification."

Fortunately, this Chen Guodong did not show contempt for them like the fat man before, but he still politely brought the two of them to his table, arranged two chairs for them, and then sat down himself. He asked politely, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Chen Guodong's attitude obviously helped Tian Mi a lot. She nodded, took out Sun Linna's photo from her bag, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Chen Guodong: "Is this your client?"

"That's right." Chen Guodong only glanced at the photo, and immediately recognized Sun Linna. "She is not really a willing client who entrusts me to handle legal affairs. She just paid me for consultation on some things."

"Is it a recent thing?"

"Yes, about a week, or a little more than a week. I can't remember clearly. If you need a specific time, I can check the calendar for you." Chen Guodong looked a little embarrassed, "I have little qualifications and usually accept few commissions. Occasionally, there are entrustments, and they are all recorded on the calendar."

"It's not urgent, you can help us find it later." Tian Mi signaled that he didn't need to be in a hurry to confirm the time first, because she was more concerned about another issue, "What kind of problem did Sun Linna ask you for?"

"This..." Chen Guodong was a little embarrassed, "Although Sun Linna didn't directly entrust me to handle anything for her, but she came to me for consultation, and I am a customer relationship. This kind of thing involves the privacy of the customer. I think it should be inconvenient Let me know."

"Sun Linna is dead, murdered." Lu Xiangdong said succinctly from the side.

Chen Guodong was stunned for a moment, his mouth slightly opened, and it took him a few seconds to come back to his senses. He sighed with regret, and shook his head: "I really didn't expect such a thing to happen."

"We understand that you, as lawyers, want to keep your client's privacy confidential, but the nature of the matter is different now, and I hope you can cooperate." Tian Mi emphasized again.

Chen Guodong didn't shirk this time, he straightened his glasses that were slipping down on the bridge of his nose, and said, "Since this is the case, of course I will cooperate. After all, human life is at stake. Sun Linna came to me to consult about the gift of property, and there is Regarding children born out of wedlock, how should the father undertake the obligation to support them, and there is also the issue of the right of inheritance of the children born out of wedlock to the property of both parents.”

It may be that Tian Mi's expression looked a little puzzled, so Chen Guodong simply said his supervisor's guess: "It's not convenient for me to ask too many personal and private matters, so I can only ask questions from her, combined with her approximate age. I guess, I think she should be an illegitimate child, and now both parents are older, so she has started to think about the father's property distribution and other issues."

His guess is obviously, as he himself said, very subjective.After listening to his narration, Tian Mi already had a guess in her heart about Sun Linna's purpose of coming here for consultation, but there was no need to tell Lawyer Chen.

"How did Sun Linna find you? You knew each other before?" she asked Chen Guodong.

Chen Guodong quickly waved his hand: "I don't know her. It seems that she came to our firm quite randomly. As for why she chose to consult me, as far as I know, it's because I am relatively young."

"How do you say that?" His answer not only made Tian Mi curious, but even Lu Xiangdong's appetite seemed to be whetted.

"I also heard her say something casually. It's nonsensical. I can only guess based on what she said. She said that the person who is willing to give her property has a relatively wide network. Looking for someone who is older and experienced If the lawyer inquires, if she turns around, the words will reach the client's ears, so it is most suitable to find a young face like me who knows few people. I guess her father should be quite powerful. " Chen Guodong seems to be very convinced of his speculation.

"About the gift of property, did she mention any specific aspects?"

"Not too specific, that is, I asked about the gift of real estate, transfer of ownership, and the transfer and gift of some shops. I didn't talk about the further substantive content. I guess if she really needs a When he is an attorney, he will go to that kind of experienced old lawyer." Chen Guodong said with some self-deprecation.

Tian Mi wrote down these contents, hesitated for a moment, then turned to Lu Xiangdong and said, "Go down and wait for me in the car, I'll be down soon."

Lu Xiangdong looked at Tian Mi suspiciously, but did not move.

"I forgot my mobile phone in the car. I'm afraid that Mo Dou and the others will call me to inform me of the progress of the case or other things. Go down and help me take a look. Don't delay." Tian Mi casually found a phone that sounded relatively good. reasonable excuse.

Lu Xiangdong obviously didn't believe it very much, but he still didn't press on, got up and left.

After Lu Xiangdong left, Tian Mi saw that Chen Guodong was still looking at her, and when she continued to ask questions around Sun Linna, she smiled apologetically at him: "I'm sorry, actually I've almost finished asking about Sun Linna, just wanted to ask , if Lawyer Chen is not particularly busy right now, I have some private questions that I would like to consult by the way."

"No problem, I'm free." Upon hearing that it was a private consultation, Chen Guodong became even more curious.

"I would like to ask about the evidence collection of the crime of abandonment, if it is a private prosecution." Tian Mi's voice involuntarily lowered a few degrees.

"Crime of abandonment... Self-prosecution... You are an adult and quite young, so it is reasonable to say that you will not be the plaintiff in this case. Is it someone planning to sue you or someone else around you?" Chen Guodong looked at Tian Mi, thinking about it. possibility, asked.

Tian Mi showed embarrassment: "I am consulting for a friend."

Seeing what she said, Chen Guodong thought it was interesting and didn't continue to ask any further questions. He just said matter-of-factly: "If you want to sue yourself for the crime of abandonment, you must first prove that you have no source of income and the ability to make a living, such as young or old, or because of an accident. Disability, etc., all of these are counted. Then it is to collect evidence to prove that the defendant did not fulfill the legal support obligation. The specific content should be determined in conjunction with the specific situation. If you ask me to say too specific, I can’t say no good."

"Is this kind of evidence collection easy? From a lawyer's point of view, if we help with evidence collection, is it easy to establish a private prosecution for this crime?" Tian Mi couldn't help but worry when she heard this.

Chen Guodong smiled dryly, and secretly pouted at the fat man not far away who had a relationship with Tian Mi: "Did you see that old Yuan just now? He is called 'Ghost Seeing Sorrow' in our place, and some people The fact that he is called a "professional defendant" does not mean that he only fights defense lawsuits, but that he has a strong "hands-on ability". It is said that he has "handled" and won all serious cases, let alone abandoned them. It’s a self-prosecution, and anyone younger than him can do the same.”

Tian Mi's heart suddenly felt heavy. She thanked Chen Guodong and wanted to pay his consulting fee, but he firmly refused.

"Who knows if there will be a chance to make friends in the future, just treat it as a friend!" He said politely.

Tian Mi couldn't hold him back, so she had no choice but to thank him and leave.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the law firm, his pocket suddenly vibrated. He took out his mobile phone and saw that the caller ID was Lu Xiangdong.

"Hello?" She answered the phone with a guilty conscience.

"It seems that you didn't forget your mobile phone in the car, but it's no different from not taking it with you. Just now Tian Yang called you, but you didn't answer it." Lu Xiangdong said on the phone, "If you do something above It's over, come down, Sun Linna's sports car was found, it was sunk into the lake in the scenic spot, and now they are looking for someone to salvage it."
