Great Lawyer

Chapter 379 Seventh Change
In the imperial study room, Lu Zhangzhi led the five elders of the court and the chief officials of the third division, reporting and discussing the progress of the corruption case.

"Did Shen Daoru catch the murderer?" The waiter in the middle served tea, Zhao Yu rested, and when Xue Jian told him about it, Zhao Yu exclaimed: "I have seen his case, it is not simple. In three days, he caught the murderer?"

Xue presses the nod should be.

"Wu Aiqing selected both cases this time from Dali Temple and the government office? I think these two cases are good, and the difficulty is quite high." Zhao Yu and Wu Wenjun said.

During this period of time, the main focus of everyone's discussion and concern was the situation of the corruption case. Everyone was cautious, but the competition between the two litigation firms was relatively less enthusiastic.

But it was only relative, when everyone was chatting in private, they were still waiting for the result of the competition.

One is a leading figure in the industry, and the other is a rising star, which is indeed worth seeing.

"Yes! The minister sealed the case and asked them to draw from a pile of files. Although there is an element of luck, there may be some differences in the difficulty of the case. But in fact, the difference is not big. After all, it can be pending, and the difficulty will not be very low. "

Zhao Yu nodded. He was very satisfied with Wu Wenjun recently. He handled the corruption case very well. He is also very fair in this competition between the two professions.

"Shen Daoru found the murderer, what about Du Jiuyan?" Zhao Yu asked.

"It's about the same. I heard the newspaper before entering the palace, saying that she drew the portrait according to someone's dictation, and took it to Song Ji's shop to get confirmation. She should have gone to the government office now, and asked the government office to arrest people." Wu Wenjun said.

"Now I've seen some of them. The two cases are in the front and rear." Zhao Yu is in a good mood. The corruption case is too disturbing, so it's more interesting to compare it. "It depends on the situation. If I have time, I will go to the defense in person .”

When he finished speaking, everyone was taken aback.

I didn't expect Zhao Yu to pay so much attention to the competition.

At this moment, in the capital, discussions began in the teahouse restaurant, and someone said: "The competition has already started, the two parties have been investigating cases in Dali Temple, and they have been investigating for three days. You don't even know about it, the news is too closed." .”

"There's nothing I can do if I want to know, and I didn't go to court to argue, whoever has time will follow me every day."

"I saw Mr. Shen go to the yamen today. After a while, the arrester Shan followed him and led the guards to catch the murderer back."

There was amazement all around, and someone said: "It's only the third day, and the murderer has been caught. When Liu Xiucai's family died, I remember that the yamen searched for several days, but there was no clue."

"Of course, he is Shen Daoru."

"That's true! Then Mr. Du from the Southwest will definitely lose. But it's normal for her to lose. She is unfamiliar with the place in the capital. No matter how good her ability and experience are, she can't compare to Mr. Shen."

"That's for sure. A rising star doesn't have the experience of a great fighter. However, if you lose, you won't be ashamed to lose."

"Don't be ashamed and lose your errand. The Holy Majesty said that this competition is to test Du Jiuyan's ability. If she wins, she will keep Southwest and continue to let her be the president. If she loses to Yanjing, not only her The errands can't be kept, even the Southwest may have to be merged into Yanjing."

"Then this competition is really a bit unfair. Mr. Du is under a lot of pressure."

"It's a pity, she is so capable. I think Ma Yuniang's last case and the recent autopsy matter were handled very well."

"No, Shen Daoru is Shen Daoru after all."

Everyone was discussing, and suddenly someone shouted: "Isn't that Mr. Du, she is also planning to go to the Yamen?"

"There must be a clue, and the speed is fast enough. Her case is even more difficult than Yanjing's. After all, no one knows who the dead woman is."

"Let's go see it together."

Seven or eight people went downstairs curiously, and followed Du Jiuyan to the government office.

Inside the government office, Du Jiuyan asked the clerk on duty, "We are here to find Butou Shan, is he here now?

"Yes, but I'm afraid the head arrester is not free right now." The clerk said: "The prisoner Mr. Shen was looking for has been arrested and is currently being tried."

Du Jiuyan raised his eyebrows and said, "Then let's wait here for a while."

"I think Mr. Du, you might as well go back first and come back tomorrow." The clerk kindly reminded, "Look, you are already one step late in this case, and there is nothing wrong with being late."

Du Jiuyan nodded in agreement, "Then, are you free tomorrow just to catch the head?"

The clerk was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Okay, please ask Mr. Du and all the young gentlemen to wait here for a while."

As he said he wanted to leave, Du Jiuyan spread out the brochure in his hand, "You have been working in the government office, so I don't know if you have seen this person before."

"Huh?" The clerk was stunned for a moment, took the portrait from Du Jiuyan and looked at it carefully, then frowned and said, "I seem to have seen this person before."

He said, beckoning to a small policeman at the door, "Come and see, do you know this person?"

"Isn't this Lu Chao?" Xiao Butou stared at the portrait, then at Du Jiuyan, "Mr. Du, what's wrong with this Lu Chao?"

Du Jiuyan said it once.

The clerk and the little catcher were very surprised, the clerk said: "Mr. Du, you may really be disappointed, this Lu Chao was beheaded last autumn."

"Beheaded?" Du Jiuyan was shocked, "What did you do?"

The clerk said: "The case is quite big. You just happen to be free. If you are interested, I can accompany you to take a look."

"Then I will thank you." Du Jiuyan agreed.

Everyone looked at each other, Yan Tong whispered: "What a coincidence, is this person a habitual offender?"

"It's possible. People often kill people. Some of them are found clearly, and some are not found." Duan Ying said: "But our case...is too coincidental."

After three days of investigation, he finally found the suspected murderer, and after another investigation, he was actually beheaded.

This is the same as writing an article, which is particularly disappointing.

Shuntian's dossier room was very large, with numerous dossiers sorted and coded together, the clerk got the one he was looking for with ease.

Du Jiuyan opened it and looked at it, frowning slightly.

The deceased was a man from the capital named Gao Pan. The cause of death was that he was stabbed in the abdomen with a dagger and fell down in an alley and lost blood.

Lu Chao was able to be found because someone saw them fighting with Gao Pan in Yubao Building, the most famous fireworks building in the capital, the first day, and both of them were drunk.Lu Chao pointed at Gao Pan's nose and scolded him, telling him to wait, and he would definitely kill him.

When Gao Pan was found dead in the alley, Shan Dequan found Lu Chao.

Judging from the files, at first Lu Chao did not admit to the murder, and he also found a concubine and the owner of a noodle stall as time witnesses, proving that when the crime happened, he ate a bowl of noodles in noodle soup, and then went to He stayed overnight at his concubine's house and didn't leave until dawn.

But after a day of interrogation, Lu Chao was beaten up, and only then did he admit the fact of the murder, and recruited the murder weapon, and stuffed it in the corner of the alley at the scene of the crime.

Lu Chao pleaded guilty, and the government sentenced him to death.During the autumn trial of the Ministry of Criminal Justice last fall, the person was beheaded after checking the facts.

"Did this case happen after the case I investigated?" Du Jiuyan saw the time, it was May [-]th, and she remembered that Shan Dequan said that when the case of the Qingyihe female corpse was investigated, it was originally There was no progress, and then another case occurred, and he completely dropped the case.

"Yes. At that time, there were two murder cases in the capital, which made people panic. There were even rumors that there were bandits in the capital. The rumors stopped after Lu Chao was arrested and pleaded guilty." The scribe said.

Du Jiuyan handed the dossier to Yantong and the others for them to read.

"What does this Lu Chao do?" Du Jiuyan asked, "How is his family's condition? Is he a child of an aristocratic family?"

He went in and out of the Yubao Building and threatened to kill people.But from the feeling, this person doesn't seem to be born in a wealthy family.

"It's not a son of a noble family, he's just a street gangster. No one knows where his money comes from." The clerk said: "He is one, and Zhang Santong who was arrested today, the two of them are like going out together. "

Zhang Santong?That should be Shen Daoru's investigation, she asked: "Has Zhang Santong pleaded guilty?"

"Not yet, but I think it will be soon. These people look very powerful, but they can't stand the beating. After beating him, they will recruit everything."

Du Jiuyan was inexplicably anxious.

"This file, can you lend me a look, and I'll return it to you later." Du Jiuyan said: "It's okay, I'll take a closer look."

The clerk sympathized with her very much. Du Jiuyan's luck this time was too bad. Everyone thought she would not be able to find out this case, but they didn't expect her to find it out. dead head.

It's not impossible, it just feels like something is missing, and, after all, people keep their mouths shut, and it's not easy to close the case.

"Mr. Nadu, take your time." The clerk smiled and cupped his hands, and went out.

Du Jiuyan sat down on the porch outside the door of Cangjuan Pavilion, and everyone was also downcast.

"What should we do now?" Qiao Dong asked: "Actually, it's okay if someone dies, as long as we can prove that the deceased was killed by Lu Chao?"

Du Jiuyan didn't speak, but read Gao Pan's case from beginning to end, and went through it in his heart again.

For this case, he felt very strange.

But what was strange, she couldn't tell.

"Mr. Du," Shan Dequan walked over, cupping his hands in embarrassment, "I've been busy with business these past two days, and I haven't been looking for you. I don't know what's going on with your case?"

It was the first time that he was seconded to Dali Temple.

He didn't need to think about it to know that someone was deliberately making things difficult for Du Jiuyan.

He is just a headhunter, even if he knows, he can't do anything, just do what Shang Feng ordered honestly, as for the reason, he doesn't want to know, let alone disobey.

"Has the truth of Mr. Shen's case come to light?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Shan Dequan shook his head, "The mouth is very hard. The murder weapon has not been found yet. I will go to Zhang Santong's house with Mr. Shen later."

"Didn't Mr. Shen search his house today and find nothing?" Du Jiuyan asked.

"I've checked it, I'm afraid there may be omissions, I plan to go again." Shan Dequan asked: "Mr. Du came to see me, why?"

Du Jiuyan recounted what she had learned today, and Shan Dequan was dumbfounded. Holding the portrait, he murmured: "...I didn't expect it to be Lu Chao in the end. I didn't have a clue at the time. otherwise……"

"However, Mr. Du, you are also guessing. You don't have the identity of the deceased and Lu Chao's motive for killing, do you?"

Du Jiuyan nodded, "I originally wanted to ask Butou Shan to help arrest people, but now it seems that we can only continue to investigate."

"Lu Chao's family has an older brother, Mr. Du, would you like to ask?" Shan Dequan asked.

Du Jiuyan nodded, "Okay, give me your address, and I'll go to his house."
