【Death of a Lawyer-08】

The relationship between the sisters Chen Xueqin and Chen Yueqin and the deceased Zhou Ziyang began in a divorce case. Judging from Chen Yueqin's confession, she went to the law firm on the 40th floor to find Zhou Ziyang, just to help her sister consult about divorce. Her sister wanted to get custody of the house and children, but in the final trial, her sister only After getting the house, the child was awarded to the brother-in-law.

Yue Xingwen simply called Jiang Pingce and asked, "Is Chen Yueqin still in the police force?"

Jiang Pingce found a corner where no one was there and discussed with Yue Xingwen in a low voice: "Chen Yueqin is the most suspected at present, and she cannot be released for the time being until she finds a strong alibi. However, her mood has collapsed now, tears makeup. It's all gone, such a mental quality doesn't seem like a murderer who can kill people calmly."

Yue Xingwen asked, "The old necklace was taken back by Zhou Ziyang. Did she wear the new necklace that Zhou Ziyang gave?"

Jiang Pingce said: "She wears a ruby ​​necklace around her neck, which Zhou Ziyang gave it last night. She said that she likes jewelry very much, and Zhou Ziyang likes it. Every Valentine's Day, Goddess's Day, and birthday, she will buy jewelry for her. The bracelets, rings, and earrings she is wearing now are all given to her by Zhou Ziyang. Lawyer Zhou is very generous to this lover."

Yue Xingwen said: "Chen Yueqin doesn't seem to be a 'sex' character who can plan ahead and kill calmly, right? I think she likes Zhou Ziyang very much, she is serious about this relationship, there is no possibility of impulsive 'sex' killing? For example yesterday After Wan Huanai, she heard Zhou Ziyang calling his wife saying that she was just playing with her and never thought of marrying her, so she pushed Zhou Ziyang downstairs angrily?"

Jiang Pingce nodded in agreement: "This possibility does exist. Unless a third person sees that she was not on the rooftop on the top floor when the crime happened last night, it is still difficult to clear her suspicion."

He paused, then lowered his voice suddenly: "Xingwen, I'll hang up first, Chen Xueqin was called to the police."

Yue Xingwen said: "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Pingce didn't sleep all night last night, and he has been following Team Lin to investigate the case today. His identity is a trainee policeman, and he is the most convenient to get access to the core clues. In the past two days, he can only work hard for him to follow up the security check first.

Although Yue Xingwen was anxious, he could only help outside.

Chen Xueqin and Chen Yueqin are two completely different personalities. This sister has permed curly hair and is wearing a cheongsam. She is charming and "sexy", and she is very straightforward when she speaks. Team Lin asked her to take her to the interrogation room. Jiang Pingce sat next to him and made a note, and asked, "Name, age, occupation, please answer formally."

The atmosphere in the interrogation room was extraordinarily serious, with a pair of cold handcuffs hanging from the seat.

Chen Xueqin was taken aback by this rigorous battle, cleared his throat, and said, "Hello, two police officers, my name is Chen Xueqin, I am 35 years old, the owner of a clothing store, freelance. That... police officer, What are you suddenly looking for from me?"

Team Lin asked, "What's your relationship with Zhou Ziyang?"

Chen Xueqin was stunned for a while, and then she said, "Lawyer Zhou? He helped me in the divorce lawsuit. We have known each other for about a year, and it was introduced by my sister."

Team Lin: "Yesterday at 6:30 p.m., you talked to lawyer Zhou on the phone. Did you express your dissatisfaction with the conclusion of the divorce case, complaining that he didn't help you get custody of the child?"

Chen Xueqin was horrified: "How, how did you know about this?!"

Jiang Pingce said in a low voice, "A student in the law firm was passing by the stairwell and happened to hear what Lawyer Zhou called. We also found a record of your call to Lawyer Zhou on his mobile phone."

Jiang Pingce turned on the phone and called up the call log. At around 6:30 p.m. yesterday, a call came in. The caller ID was Chen Xueqin, and the call lasted for 5 minutes.

Seeing the evidence in front of her, Chen Xueqin turned pale, gritted her teeth and said, "Lawyer Zhou told me before the court session that the custody of the house and children is a big deal, and the judge has granted custody of the children. My ex-husband, the reason is that I gather a crowd to gamble, which will have a bad influence on my children. I like playing mahjong, but not gambling, and I lose up to 10,000 a year! "

Lin Wei raised his eyebrows: "A money transaction of more than 5,000 is considered gambling. If you want to be detained and controlled, it is normal for your child not to judge you for your habit."

Chen Xueqin was speechless.

Jiang Pingce asked: "So, you vented your grievances about the failure of the lawsuit on Attorney Zhou?"

Chen Xueqin said with a dark face: "Who told him to be very confident before the trial, so I also believed him 100%, so I sold my clothing store in advance, and planned to take my son to other places after the lawsuit was over. I lost the lawsuit, My plan was completely ruined, my son went abroad with his dad, and the clothing store lost a lot of money. I got a headache and called him a few words...isn't it too much?"

Lin Wei asked lightly, "You hold a grudge against him, have you never thought about killing him?"

Chen Xueqin's eyes widened: "Kill him? I'm not crazy, why should I kill him?!"

Aware that something was wrong, she stared at Jiang Pingce's cell phone on the table like a ghost, her voice trembling uncontrollably: "Is this cell phone owned by Lawyer Zhou? How could it be in the hands of the police? He... Could it be that he... …”

Lin Wei: "He died."

Chen Xueqin shivered and got goosebumps.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, she immediately shook her head like a rattle: "I don't know, it's none of my business! When did he, when did he die? When I called him yesterday afternoon, he was fine and impatient. He said, it is not easy to help me get a real estate, let me go to appeal, he doesn't want to deal with my case anymore..."

Jiang Pingce asked, "Where were you from midnight to twelve o'clock last night?"

Chen Xueqin gritted his teeth and hesitated. Lin Wei said: "If you can't provide an alibi, you will also become the suspect who killed Lawyer Zhou."

Chen Xueqin said hurriedly: "I was playing mahjong with a few sisters, and I played all night! They can prove it!"

Lin Wei: "Can the other three testify for you?"

Chen Xueqin nodded, "Of course! We often play cards together."

Jiang Pingce asked: "I saw that when you went to lawyer Zhou, you stayed in his office for a few hours before you came out. What did you do in the office? Have you ever had an improper relationship with lawyer Zhou?"

Chen Xueqin immediately shook his head: "No, I just explained my situation in detail and expressed my desire to get custody of my son. He explained to me some provisions of the Marriage Law and taught me what to do next, because it is the first Once we meet, we talk for a long time.”

Team Lin continued to ask: "Do you know the relationship between Attorney Zhou and your sister?"

Chen Xueqin said mysteriously: "My sister said that Lawyer Zhou is her friend, but I don't think they are like ordinary friends. Once I saw Lawyer Zhou put a jewelry box on the table, and that night, my sister also brought home the exact same one. Jewelry box, it happened to be Valentine's Day, it must have been given by lawyer Zhou, they are dating."

Team Lin: "Did you know that Lawyer Zhou is married?"

Chen Xueqin was stunned for a moment: "What? He's married? Isn't my sister a mistress?" She clenched her fists angrily, "This damn girl, I must beat her well when I go back and break her legs!"

Jiang Pingce: "..."

Chen Xueqin was released quickly because her alibi was the clearest at the moment. She played mahjong all night last night, and all three of her partners and sisters could testify to her. It is said that she was very lucky last night, and she won several thousand in one meal.

The matter of gambling is not under the control of the criminal police team. Chen Xueqin and the three sisters were called by the police to criticize education and write a review. Even the "chess and card room" where they played mahjong was taken away.

Yue Xingwen really didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing it.

Although sister Chen Xueqin called and scolded lawyer Zhou, she didn't have time to commit the crime; wife Liu Lan didn't go downstairs last night; could it be that only her mistress Chen Yueqin was at the scene last night?

What about Qi Zhao? He didn't go home, but lied to the police and went home to sleep. Why?

Jiang Pingce reminded Team Lin: "Should we check Qi Zhao, the owner of the law firm, Liu Minghui?"

Team Lin nodded: "Well, ask them one by one, it's their turn."

Liu Minghui quickly arrived at the scene. This legend in the legal world, the founder of Minghui Law Firm, was very personable and polite in his speech and demeanor. He had obviously heard some rumors about Zhou Ziyang's death, and said calmly: "I am Zhou Ziyang's senior, and I am more concerned about him. After graduation, I started my own business, and gradually became famous and established my own law firm. Zhou Ziyang is also one of the first lawyers to join our firm."

Team Lin: "Do you know who he contradicts in private?"

Liu Minghui shook his head: "I have spent a lot of time in the law firm in recent years, and I often travel around for business. Zhou Ziyang is already a mature lawyer and can handle cases by himself. I am very concerned about his work and personal affairs. As for the lawyers in the firm, I am only a 'partner' with them, not their steward."

"Where were you from 10 to 12 last night?"

"I went back to Beishan City on my flight at noon yesterday. I went to pick up my child from school in the afternoon. I didn't go out after I got home at night. I accompany my child to practice the piano until about 11 o'clock before falling asleep." Liu Minghui did not come out after returning to the community last night. A little community monitoring is enough to prove it. He also has no crime time.

The last suspect, Qi Zhao, was sitting in the interrogation room fumbling and dodging his eyes, biting himself to death at home and sleeping at home last night, until Team Lin released the monitoring of the community: "You said you were sleeping at home, but the people in the Jinzuojiayuan community The surveillance didn't capture you coming home, did you fly into your window from the sky?"

Qi Zhao smiled awkwardly, and forcibly defended, "I didn't go back to Jinzuo Jiayuan last night at my other residence!"

Team Lin: "But the surveillance at the entrance of the office building of Xinghe Tower didn't capture you going out."

Qi Zhao: "..."

Jiang Pingce said coldly: "Last night, you stayed in the Galaxy Building?"

Qi Zhao's face became extremely pale.

Team Lin: "What's hard to say? Hurry up, or you'll be the biggest suspect."

Qi Zhao was about to bite one of his teeth, and even couldn't help but utter a foul language: "'Fuck'! My case is due to go to court in two days. It's unfortunate, I actually saw Chen Yueqin and Zhou Ziyang secretly 'touching' and 'touching' to go to the toilet to play exciting, I really... can't wait to poke my eyes!"

His lips trembled slightly: "I, I chased Chen Yueqin for half a year, and she has been rambling and not giving her the right words. I thought she was a reserved goddess, but... it's so fucking ruining the three views, in the women's toilet. Do, these two perverts!"

As he said, seeing the goddess of secret love fooling around with people in the toilet really makes people want to poke their eyes.

Jiang Pingce said: "Zhou Ziyang not only robbed your client, but also the woman you had a crush on, what is your motive to kill him?"

Qi Zhao hurriedly shook his head: "No way, am I crazy to get on me for such a scumbag?" In order to clear his suspicions, he immediately took out his mobile phone and opened one of the videos: "Last night from 10:00 to 12:00 Now, I hid in my office, didn't dare to turn on the lights, closed the curtains, and played games online with my friends on the sofa, and the few people who opened the dark with me can testify, we played games and spoke at the same time."

On the mobile phone, he and a few friends recorded the text chat records, voice records, and game records in the group. From 10:00 to 12:00, they played the black game rankings, lost 4, won 4, and worked all night in vain. Qi Zhao game technology is OK, all mvp.

He also graduated from the University of Political Science and Law, two terms lower than Zhou Ziyang, because lawyer Zhou robbed his client, robbed the girl he had a crush on, and murdered in anger. The motives make sense. But he wouldn't push Zhou Ziyang downstairs while playing games?

After the interrogation, Jiang Pingce told Yue Xingwen about the knot.

Yue Xingwen analyzed: "All the suspects have alibi, his wife Liu Lan and boss Liu Minghui, the surveillance shows that they have not gone downstairs, and Chen Xueqin played mahjong all night last night. Qi Zhao and Chen Yueqin are one-sided words, Qi Zhao I have a crush on Chen Yueqin, the relationship is complicated, and these two people are still suspicious."

He "touched" his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "By the way, what about the cash?"

Jiang Pingce said: "The investigation of the bank's running water has been concluded. In the past three years, Zhou Ziyang has not withdrawn more than 100,000 cash from the bank, and the amount of cash in the drawers and boxes on the scene is as high as 2 million."

Yue Xingwen's spirit was shocked: "In other words, this money is actually his gray income?"

Jiang Pingce nodded: "That's right. The lawyers of the firm are partners with the founder Liu Minghui. Liu Minghui provides them with office locations and client resources. The income from their lawsuits will give a certain percentage of commission to the law firm. Clients pay in general. They all use the accounts of the law firm, and the law firm also has professional accountants, making money for the lawyers and helping them pay taxes.”

Yue Xingwen analyzed along the way: "This money did not go to the account of the law firm, nor did it go to Zhou Ziyang's personal account, it was 2 million in cash... Then there is only one explanation: the origin is unknown, it is injustice Fortune!"

I wondered if he had withdrawn the deposit for the purpose of transferring the marital property, but there was no record of him withdrawing cash in the bank statement. Besides, he was a lawyer, and there were many ways to transfer property, so there was no need to use the stupid method of "withdrawing cash".

It seems that the speculation at that time, the third possibility is the most correct.

Lawyer Zhou took bribes and took a huge sum of money, which he did not dare to deposit in the bank rashly.

Those who know about this can of course use this reason to threaten him and "force" him to hand over the money, which is why he suddenly returned to the Xinghe Building with a box of cash.

This knowledge may be the real murderer.

who can that be?
