Chapter 54 Task Force

Beiguan Jinshun Hotel is a small two-story building. In fact, it is a small building like No. 6 Jing'an Lane bought by Lu Ming, but there are more than a dozen extremely small rooms separated from the upper and lower floors. It is an extremely cheap hotel. In a small hotel, the daily rent for each room is about 1 yuan per day.

Now, this small hotel is booked by Cheng Lingyu, and the monthly rent is 200. For a month, all the members of the "special case team" live in.

The members of the task force are mainly prosecutors from the Xinfa District Procuratorate.

Kato Masaaki's serial murder case has been submitted to the Ninth Circuit Court of the East China Sea, also known as the Beiguan Court, and the court has officially accepted it and is waiting for the schedule.

The Chief Prosecutor is Cheng Lingyu, the Senior Prosecutor, and he also selects the candidates for the team.

The second prosecutor is Yu Zhengdao, the chief prosecutor of the Xinfa District Prosecutor's Branch, and an experienced veteran prosecutor.

In addition, the team also has a deputy director of prosecution, a prosecutor, and two assistant prosecutors, who are responsible for collecting evidence, checking for gaps, and filling in gaps, etc. They are actually running errands, and most of them are young prosecutors.

The Beiguan Procuratorate Branch also sent a person to join the team. Lu Ming's old acquaintance, Hou Dexing, the star prosecutor of the Beiguan Procuratorate Branch, was labeled in Lu Ming's heart as Li Mingxuan, the weakened version of Beiguan.

In Liu Laocai's case, Lu Ming fought against him.

Hou Dexing belongs to the Prosecutor in the sequence of prosecutors, that is, the most junior prosecutor, after all, he is young.

As for the assistant prosecutor, it can basically be regarded as an internship, and he is not qualified to appear in court independently.

Assistant Prosecutor, Prosecutor, Deputy Chief Prosecutor, Chief Prosecutor, Senior Prosecutor, etc. can be regarded as the professional titles of the previous life, and can also be regarded as the hierarchy of prosecutorial officials. Like the previous life, seniority is a serious phenomenon.

There are eight prosecutors in the team, which can be described as an unprecedentedly strong lineup.

Now, another external lawyer has been added to the prosecution team, that is, Lu Ming.

The largest room in the hotel was used as a meeting room, and Cheng Lingyu presided over the first prosecution team meeting to arrange the work assignments of the prosecutors.

In addition to the nine members of the prosecution team, there were two police detectives sitting on chairs in the corner, from the No.13 branch of the Donghai Police Station, also known as the Beiguan branch.

Li Wei, deputy chief of the Criminal Section and leader of Team 2, and Sha Dahai, deputy leader.

According to the relevant laws and regulations of the imperial court, in criminal cases, the procuratorial agency has temporary command over the police officers handling the case.

This point is very similar to what Lu Ming knew, Korea in his previous life.

In most of the rest of the countries, the procuratorate and the police department have a cooperative relationship in prosecuting cases. Of course, the procuratorate is the main one and the police department is the supplementary.

Although the Beiguan Court accepted the case, in fact, the prosecution's evidence is still weak and further evidence is needed.

Cheng Lingyu assigned the duties of each prosecutor, including two police detectives, and everyone took notebooks to record.

Only Lu Ming's hands were empty, and he stared at the black and swarthy Xiaoqiang crawling in and out of the floor, dazed.

"Lu Qianxing, Lu Dazhuang, what's your opinion?" Cheng Lingyu suddenly looked at Lu Ming with a sarcasm in his tone. Seeing that Lu Ming didn't take notes seriously and didn't fit in with the rest of the people, he was a little dissatisfied.

Lu Ming smiled: "No, I'm listening. Wang Jian is responsible for the safety of the surviving boys and psychological counseling. He must guide the psychiatrist well and try his best to make the surviving children obtain permission to testify in court. The best solution is to obtain A valid statement, and the use of psychological reports to prevent the defense from calling him to court."

"High Prosecutor, together with the patrolling police, bring the boy's photo, we must find someone who knows him and confirm his identity. It would be great if we can find his relatives."

"Zhang Jian also needs the cooperation of the patrol department to screen the local missing children to see if they can find the victims that Jin Zhengyi said. It must be meticulous and serious, covering the villages below."

"Liu Jian, we must handle the relationship with the media, especially pay attention to the trend of the defense's statements in the media, guide the media, and use it for us, but the enthusiasm should not be too high, so as not to give the defense an excuse for invalid trial."

"Wow!" Sitting next to Lu Ming was a young man with a childish face. He looked like a prosecutor who had just graduated from university. Indeed, his name was Wang Xiaohu, and he was an assistant prosecutor who joined last year.

At this time, he exclaimed and gave Lu Ming a thumbs up, "Lawyer Lu, you are awesome!"

He has been immersed in memorization, ready to go back and sort out the context of the chief's speech, but at this moment, this young lawyer Lu doesn't use paper and pen at all, but he remembers everything clearly. What's more exciting is that what he said is all the main points , Not a word of nonsense, concise and to the point, in fact, Chief Cheng nagged for a long time, Lawyer Lu summed it up in a few words, now I can just write down what Lawyer Lu said, this is the main point that needs to be sorted out by myself.

Simply amazing!

Over there, Cheng Lingyu was stunned for a moment, and then snorted coldly, "Don't look down at the cockroaches in a daze, the office conditions here are definitely not comparable to your lawyers', but if we don't hire you, and the funds are sufficient, we don't need to work here anymore , you can subsidize 325 yuan a month, then we can use 525 yuan to rent an office space that is two grades higher than here!"

Hearing that Lu Ming's external employment fee is 325 yuan a month, some prosecutors showed resentment on their faces. This is their pain point.

Although the salaries of prosecutors are not low, compared with the successful lawyers they often deal with, they are all poor ghosts.

The monthly salary of an assistant prosecutor is only 60 yuan, and Cheng Lingyu, the senior prosecutor, can be said to be the top of the pyramid in the sequence of ordinary prosecutors, and the monthly salary is only about 300 yuan.

On the other hand, if an outside lawyer is hired to prosecute, the fees are usually very high. How can this not be annoying?
This young rookie lawyer pays 325 yuan a month, where can he go to reason?
Lu Ming rubbed his nose. In fact, the procuratorial department hires outside lawyers to prosecute, and usually hires a famous barrister as the chief prosecutor.

The so-called monthly subsidy is just a symbolic meaning. A famous barrister may spend a few months without taking other cases at all, and is busy being the chief prosecutor. Why is it for this little money?It's just fame.

There are also cases where being a defense lawyer is tiring, the competition is too fierce, and the test scores drive people crazy. Compared with them, prosecutors are too comfortable.

Therefore, after earning enough money, some of them switched careers to prosecute, and even used prosecution as a springboard to pave the way for entering the political circle.

As for myself, I was hired outside, but I was the second prosecutor, that is, I couldn't sit in the prosecutor's seat. I was just a member of the team participating in the case. If I wanted to watch the trial, I had to apply for it myself and sit in the auditorium.

But she provided key evidence, and she had Li Guan's support. She had a lot of face, so she was able to join this huge prosecution team, and the subsidy should be paid according to the normal standard for external lawyers.

But obviously, for these prosecutors, it seems unfair.

But having said that, prosecutors are very comfortable, and most of them can't adapt to the fierce competition among lawyers. There are many prosecutors who have failed to compete in the legal industry and then transferred to the public sector. Nothing to complain about.

"Go on!" Cheng Lingyu also felt that the atmosphere was not right after he finished speaking, which would affect the unity of the team, so he changed the subject and continued to assign tasks to the prosecutors and assistant prosecutors.

"Wang Xiaohu, you are responsible for investigating the underground human trafficking market to see if there is any possibility of selling children to Dongying people. This requires the cooperation of the local police. Please trouble Section Chief Li!"

Li Wei nodded lightly: "Cheng Jian, don't worry, our criminal department will cooperate fully during this time, stop all cases that can be stopped, and transfer manpower to this case."

Cheng Lingyu looked at Lu Ming again: "Lawyer Lu, you and Xiaohu should be in a team, and give Xiaohu more advice."

Lu Ming smiled and nodded.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the line of the underground human trafficking market is like a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

After all, Jin Zhengyi claimed that most of the victims were local children in Beiguan, and there were very few local children in the underground human trafficking market.

When Wang Xiaohu heard that he could be in the same group as Lu Ming, he was extremely excited, blushed, and stammered to Lu Ming, "Brother Lu, I will definitely learn from you!"

He was born in a poor family, and he can be said to be one of the few models who rely on knowledge to change destiny and make class leaps.

His academic performance has always been excellent. He graduated with honors from the Faculty of Law of Imperial University and chose a stable job as a prosecutor.

He has always yearned for eloquent lawyers in court, because his eloquence is not very good, so he is even more envious of young lawyers who can go to court to scold Fang Qiu at a young age, and admire their courage and self-confidence.

And this Lawyer Lu, who was only 19 years old, became a second-tier lawyer in the first year of his career, and because Lawyer Lu gave birth to the Beiguan Court, a legal principle accepted by most other courts in the empire, that is, "Child Protection" "in principle.

Lawyer Lu is simply his role model in life.

Although he is a little older than Lawyer Lu, he is the one who is the best, and it is difficult to express his admiration for him like the flood of the Yellow River without shouting "Big Brother".
