    【Death of a Lawyer-05】

    Transferring money in modern society is very convenient. Mobile banking can transfer large amounts of money within 1 hour. There are more and more occasions where cash is used. Zhou Ziyang's drawer and box have such cash, which must be a secret.

    Team Lin turned his head and asked Jiang Pingce, "Xiao Jiang, what do you think of this cash?"

    Jiang Pingce found that this captain likes to ask him questions. Of course, he is now nominally an apprentice of Team Lin, a small police trainee. Maybe his performance will affect the final score?

    Jiang Pingce rationalized his thoughts and replied seriously: "The bank transfer may be because the money cannot be transferred to a certain account in an open and honest way, leaving a transfer record. In this case, either someone privately bribed him to send cash. , he dares to deposit into the bank card; or, he secretly stole the cash and wants to conduct some illegal transactions with people."

    Regardless of whether it is a private bribe or a secret transaction, cash is indeed a more secure way than transferring money.

    Team Lin nodded in appreciation and said to Tong behind him: "Go to the bank to check Zhou Ziyang's account flow in recent years, and also, whether he has withdrawn a large amount of cash."

    The two acted immediately.

    Others continued to search for evidence in the office, and also took fingerprints left in the office.

    Ke Shaobin was sitting at his desk, sorting out the data on Zhou Ziyang's computer. He suddenly paused with the mouse, adjusted his glasses, carefully looked at a document, and said after a while, "Team Lin, I found the divorce agreement in the deceased's computer. , this agreement, fill in the names of Zhou Ziyang and Liu Lan."

    Lin Wei rushed up with a single step, frowned and looked at the divorce agreement, and Jiang Pingce also followed.

    Ke Shaobin looked back at Jiang Pingce and copied the information into the laptop he carried with him. This is Ke Shaobin's own computer, and he can show it to his teammates at that time.

    The two lines of the agreement are the names of the husband and wife and the personal information of their ID cards. After that, it is written: "Because the relationship between the husband and wife has broken down, the law continues to live, and the manager decides to divorce after consideration. The following agreement is reached on the rights and obligations involved."

    Article 1, the principle of voluntariness, the divorce of the two is voluntary and not subject to any coercion.

    Article 2: The ownership of the real estate, located at 33-01, 33-02, 33-03, Unit 1, Building A, Jiayuan, Jinzuo District, and Villa C7, Villa Shanzhuang, Qingtang District, were purchased by Zhou Ziyang during his marriage. When divorced, the above The four properties still belong to Zhou Ziyang;

    Article 3: Ownership of cash and stocks: The man's annual income is about 2 million yuan in the eight years after marriage, most of which is used for living expenses and child support. The remaining deposit in the current account is 1 million yuan. According to the principle of equal division of marital property, the woman will be paid 500,000 yuan in cash;

    Article 4: Child support. Since the woman does not have a job, the man has a stable income. The son, Zhou Chengze, is raised by the man. The woman has the right to visit and needs to pay alimony.

    Seeing this, Jiang Pingce frowned greatly—this divorce agreement is equivalent to the woman leaving the house? ! Only take 500,000 to send a woman who has been with him for 8 years? This lawyer Zhou is so cold-blooded!

    At the same time when I asked the law firm, it was mentioned that Zhou Ziyang's wife, Liu Lan, was the flower of Beijiang University of Political Science and Law, graduated from a prestigious school, and was so beautiful that she might not be able to find a job. The agreement mentioned that "the woman does not have a job". It is likely that she gave up her job for the sake of her family and became a full-time wife?

    As a result, when they divorced, they were allocated a house and even kept custody of their children.

    Ke Shaobin whispered: "It's terrible to marry such a scheming lawyer. Maybe after getting married, even if he plans to divorce one day, how can he minimize the loss of his property."

    After all, lawyers know marriage law best and know how to legally fight for their best rights. Of course, this kind of lawyer who has to calculate even his wife is also a minority, a wonderful person in the legal world.

    Jiang Pingce said with a sullen face: "His annual income is so high that he buys a villa when he gets married. I believe he only has a deposit of 1 million. Could it be that when he decided to divorce, he secretly transferred the marital property? If his wife knew about this, Might as well kill him."

    Lin Wei "touched" his chin and said, "It seems that I have a chat with Ms. Liu Lan."

    Last night, the police team worked overtime overnight, and they found the contact information of the deceased Zhou Ziyang's family. His parents had already passed away. Team Lin wanted to contact his wife to claim the body, but the phone kept getting through.

    Team Lin looked at Jiang Pingce: "Xiao Jiang, try calling Liu Lan."

    Jiang Pingce dialed Liu Lan's number, and after a few busy beeps, the call was picked up, and the voice sounded very gentle: "Hello, hello, may I ask who you are?"

    There was a noisy background sound around, and I could clearly hear the mechanical sound of "Yu Minhui on the 17th, please go to the consultation room No. 3".

    Is it the hospital?

    Jiang Pingce said calmly: "Ms. Liu, hello, I'm a police officer from the Qingtang District Criminal Police Brigade. I need your assistance in investigating a case. Please take the time to go to the police force to make a record today."

    Liu Lan was a little surprised: "Police? What happened?" There were footsteps in her ears. She should have come to a quiet corner with her mobile phone: "I'm sorry, I'm seeing a doctor in the hospital, it's a bit noisy here."

    Lin Wei took the phone from Jiang Pingce and said, "Ms. Liu, did you contact your husband last night?"

    Liu Lan was silent for a moment, and said, "We have been separated for a long time, and I don't know his love."

    Team Lin said: "I regret to inform you that your husband fell from a building and died last night. Please go to the police force to claim his body as soon as possible."

    Liu Lan's voice rose instantly: "What? Falling from the building?"

    Team Lin said, "Zhou Ziyang, he fell to his death from the Xinghe Building last night. Please come and claim his body."

    Liu Lan's voice trembled slightly: "Aren't you liars?"

    Team Lin said solemnly, "I'm Lin Wei, captain of the Qingtang District Criminal Police Team, and the police number is 78513. You can call the police force to verify."

    Liu Lan was silent for a moment and hung up the phone.

    Jiang Pingce took back his mobile phone and immediately sent a message to Liu Zhaoqing: "Senior brother, please look up a patient named Liu Lan. She is seeing a doctor in your hospital. We need her detailed medical information."

    After a while, Liu Zhaoqing replied: "She is in the psychiatry department. She has been to the hospital three times in the past year. Each time the diagnosis record is depression, the doctor prescribed her a "medicine" related to depression."

    Depression?

    Did you know that her husband cheated on her and wanted to divorce her, so she gradually led to depression?

    She had sufficient motives to kill Zhou Ziyang, but how did she, a woman, plan carefully to push Zhou Ziyang off the roof? How did she avoid building surveillance?

    This case is full of doubts, and the specific conclusion needs to be seen by Liu Lan.

    The colleagues took away the information on the case handled by Zhou Ziyang, and the office had no other clues, so everyone closed the team.

    The forensic doctor will soon give the results of the autopsy.

    Xin Yan immediately sent the results to Jiang Pingce's mobile phone: "The cause of death was the fracture of the skull and internal organs caused by falling from a height. Alcohol residues were found in the blood, which proved that he had drunk before his death. Judging from the digestibility of the contents, he ate a late-night snack within two hours of his death, and he ate steak. Semen-'fluid' was detected in his underwear, and he may have had a 'sexual' relationship with someone before his death. He was found in his fingernails Skin scraps and blood, genetic testing."

    It seems that Zhou Ziyang's death experience is quite rich.

    He probably had a late-night snack at around 10 o'clock last night, and then had a relationship with his mistress, and then dragged his suitcase into the building; or, his mistress, Chen Yueqin, was in the building, and the two of them went to the building. In the office of Xinghe Building, he "touched" the dark to find excitement. After that, Zhou Ziyang fell on the roof of the building.

    The scraps of skin and blood in his fingernails might have scratched the murderer when he was struggling?

    Jiang Pingce organized the current case data into a document and sent it to Yue Xingwen.

    Yue Xingwen launched an investigation at the law firm, focusing on two suspects, lawyer Qi and Chen Yueqin.

    Chen Yueqin was summoned by the police. She denied having an affair with Zhou Ziyang, and insisted that she was looking for him for legal consultation: "Officer, I have to say it many times before you believe me? As for the divorce, I just asked lawyer Zhou to consult, how to let my sister get the house and child custody!"

    Team Lin asked, "Has your sister's lawsuit started yet?"

    Chen Yueqin: "The fight was over long ago. My sister only got the house, and the custody of the child was given to my brother-in-law."

    Jiang Pingce's heart suddenly moved - Yesterday, Xingwen heard Zhou Ziyang's impatient phone call, will he close this case? The service can be appealed, is it Zhou Ziyang talking to this "sister"? Or did he handle other cases?

    Since Chen Yueqin admitted her death, Team Lin simply threw the genetic identification results to her: "The skin tissue and blood in the deceased Zhou Ziyang's nails are completely consistent with Miss Chen's genes. Miss Chen's fingerprints were also found in his office, how do you explain it? "

    Chen Yueqin's face changed suddenly.

    Team Lin immediately took out the necklace found on the rooftop: "Is this you?"

    When Chen Yueqin saw this necklace, it was like seeing a ghost, her lips began to tremble violently: "I, I have been together with Attorney Zhou for half a year, and when I asked him about legal issues last year, I found that he is a gentle, A talented man who was "fascinated" by a ghost for a while, just followed him..." She paused, and her voice suddenly became sharp: "But I didn't kill him, I love him so much, how could I kill him!"

    Jiang Pingce asked in a low voice, "Zhou Ziyang is going to divorce his wife, did you know?"

    Chen Yueqin bit her lip tightly, and after a while, she said like a mosquito: "I know, he said he would marry me after the divorce."

    Team Lin said with a smile: "It seems that he gave you a promise? If you find out that these promises are all he is lying to you, and he is just playing with you, you will be so embarrassed that you will push him off the roof?"

    Chen Yueqin's face suddenly turned pale as paper: "Maybe!"

    At this moment, Jiang Pingce received a message from Yue Xingwen: "Chen Yueqin said, yesterday she went out after get off work to pack some food and returned to the Xinghe Building. The first person to go to work today said, at 8:00 in the morning. When I entered the door, I saw Chen Yueqin coming out of the lounge next to the office. It was obvious that he slept here last night. When they were designers, they stayed overnight in the office for the draft meeting, and the boss provided them with temporary accommodation. "

    Jiang Pingce put down his phone and asked, "Did you sleep in the Galaxy Building last night?"

    Chen Yueqin: "..."

    Jiang Pingce leaned into Dui Lin's ear: "A witness on the 39th floor saw her coming out of the lounge at 8:00 in the morning. The surveillance at the entrance of the building did not record her entry or exit at 8:00 this morning. It proves that she slept in the room last night. Lounge on the 39th floor."

    In other words, Chen Yueqin was at the crime scene all night last night.

    Team Lin raised his eyebrows: "Ms. Chen, you are very suspicious now. You had close contact with the deceased last night, and you stayed in the Xinghe Building overnight. The time of the crime, the motive for the crime, and your skin and blood were found in the deceased's nails. The dropped necklace has also been confirmed to be you, and we can apply for your arrest now!"

    Chen Yueqin's face was bloodless, and she roared in dismay: "I didn't kill him! I really didn't! Last night we were indeed in the office... But after the end, I went back to the 39th floor and slept, it was 11 o'clock in the evening. Left and right, I fell asleep knowing what happened, I was a murderer! Please believe me..."

    The woman's face was full of tears and her makeup was smeared, and she knew it was because of sadness or fear.

    However, no matter how she quibble, her suspicion is indeed the biggest at present.

    Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, clenched her fists tightly, and said viciously: "It must be Liu Lan! Liu Lan knew that her husband was going to divorce her, divide the property with her, and take away the children. She must have moved. Killing heart! Zhou Ziyang's parents have long since passed away, as long as Zhou Ziyang dies, she, as a spouse, will be the only heir!"

    At this moment, a fellow pushed in the door and whispered in Dui Lin's ear, "Liu Lan has come to claim the body."

    Jiang Pingce turned around and went out, and saw a tall and slender woman standing in the corridor.

    She was wearing a linen dress and white high-heeled shoes, her long hair was tied up loosely behind her head, and there was no makeup on her face. , walking in the crowd will be very eye-catching, even if she is over 35 years old now, she is well maintained and still looks young and beautiful, worthy of being the school flower of Beijiang University of Political Science and Law.

    The same as the collapse when most of the family members came to claim the body, her mood was extraordinarily calm.

    Jiang Pingce took her to the morgue. After seeing Zhou Ziyang's pale face, Liu Lan only said lightly, "Yes, he is Zhou Ziyang. Can I take his body away?"

    Jiang Pingce said: "Go through the formalities according to the regulations, and you can take it away."

    Liu Lan nodded: "Thank you."

    She didn't even have a tear.

    It was as if her husband died, but a stranger who had nothing to do with her.
