Chapter 563 Dead End

562
On the morning of the arraignment, Fu Shiyu and his wife finally saw Fu Zhengye.

Fu Zhengye was taken to the meeting room by the police.

Tang Xi'en and Fu Shiyu were discussing the case with their heads down at that time, when they heard the sound of the door opening, when they looked up, they were stunned for a moment.

Fu Zhengye, who was wearing an orange-red prison vest, had disheveled hair, an unshaven beard, red eyes and drooping bags under his eyes. He seemed to be ten years older.

Tang Xien stood up in shock.

During the years when she was a lawyer, she had seen many criminal suspects, all of whom were down and out, but because she had never seen a criminal suspect before his arrest, she didn't feel particularly deeply.

Fu Zhengye, who had only met a few months ago, had a rosy face, handsome and refined in his impression, but now he was so defeated.Tang Xi'en couldn't imagine what he had suffered these past few days to become like this.

She subconsciously looked at Fu Shiyu standing beside her.

Fu Shiyu's face was calm, but he was much calmer than her. It was only after a closer look that he found that his jaw was tense, the masseter muscles on his cheeks were distinct, and he was biting his back molars hard.

"Please go, time is limited." The police reminded.

Fu Zhengye came back to his senses, walked over from the other side of the door with a sad face, and sat down in front of his son and daughter-in-law.He first looked at Fu Shiyu for a few seconds, then turned his gaze to Tang Xien, and forced a smile: "Why didn't you raise your baby at home when you were pregnant? What are you doing here?"

Fu Zhengye has a smiling face. When speaking to Tang Xi'en in the past, he was basically three-point polite and seven-point indifferent. Putting it all together, it gave her the feeling of being gloomy and veiled.But right now, his tone was so solid that it made Tang Xi'en uncomfortable.

Tang Xien swallowed his throat, relieved the embarrassment in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's only been more than two months now, it's okay. And I have a California lawyer's license. If you want, I hope I can be your second lawyer in this case .”

Fu Zhengye frowned, and didn't say anything at first, thinking about what to weigh, and after a while, he asked: "Even if you are not allowed to participate in this case, you will come to listen in, right?"

Tang Xi'en was about to speak, when Fu Shiyu, who had been silent since Fu Zhengye entered the door until now, opened his mouth lightly: "So, you have not been wronged in this case?"

She went to pull Fu Shiyu's hand under the table, frowned, and reminded him to be more careful when he spoke.He was unmoved, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him, he just looked at Fu Zhengye coldly but intently.

Fu Zhengye was silent and said nothing.

Tang Xi'en's heart skipped a beat, and she reminded herself not to prejudge Fu Zhengye's guilt without seeing the evidence.

The father and son confronted each other for a while. Fu Zhengye glanced at the policeman guarding the rear, lowered his head, and lowered his voice: "I don't have QJ! I don't even know who she is!"

Tang Xi'en and Fu Shiyu looked at each other.

She didn't know Fu Zhengye very well. Although she roughly knew his character and habits, she was not as clear as Fu Shiyu, who was his own son, about how he behaved.So she asked Fu Shiyu with her eyes.

Fu Shiyu nodded to her.It means that Fu Zhengye's words can still be trusted.

She understood, quickly prepared words in her mind, and said succinctly: "Your lawyer and I will tell the court that you will plead not guilty during the arraignment, and after investigation and evidence collection, we will try to launch a pre-trial motion to persuade the prosecution to withdraw the case..."

Fu Zhengye asked her for paper and pen, listened carefully, and took notes on the paper.

Tang Xi'en glanced at his watch, saw that there was still time, and took out the recording pen: "I need you to tell me about the night when the crime happened."

Fu Zhengye's hand for writing notes stopped, and he didn't say a word for a while. He folded his hands under his nose, and frowned slightly, as if he was recalling, or weighing whether he should let his son and daughter-in-law know about this matter.

Seeing that time was running out, Tang Xi'en repeated it again.

Fu Zhengye remained silent.

At this time, Fu Shiyu asked: "If you don't say anything, how can I help you get rid of the crime?"

Fu Zhengye glanced at his son and daughter-in-law, then withdrew his eyes again, stared at the void, and briefly mentioned what happened that night.

He explained very simply that he had been holding meetings in the conference room on the fifth floor of the hotel since noon that day, went to the hotel restaurant for dinner with all the participants at 09 p.m., returned to the room for a rest at 30 p.m., and left the room at [-]:[-] the next morning to the conference room.

Tang Xi'en captured the key information and asked: "After you returned to the room, has anyone entered or left your room?"

Fu Zhengye glanced at his son, and after a while, he answered, "...Yes."

"When to enter and when to exit?"

"Enter room at 10:30pm...leave at [-]am."

Fu Shiyu, who was thinking about the case, frowned and looked over, Fu Zhengye looked away uncomfortably.

Tang Xien wrote down one by one: "Okay, let's look at the investigation and evidence collection later. If you need ta to help you with an alibi, then contact him at that time."

Fu Zhengye nodded, with a look of anxiety on his face.

The supervisor came to take him out of the meeting room, Tang Xien packed his things and left with Fu Shiyu.

On the way to the law firm, seeing Fu Shiyu was very preoccupied, she asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Isn't that good when your dad said he didn't commit a crime? I thought you would be happier."

Fu Shiyu didn't say anything for a while, still frowning and thinking about things.After a while, he said: "He has always had a regular schedule, going to bed early and getting up early, why did someone come in and out of his room so late that night? Is this person a man or a woman? What do you want to do in his room?"

When Tang Xi'en first heard Fu Zhengye talk about it, she had doubts in her heart. It was okay for her to keep asking, but after all, the other party was Fu Shiyu's father, so she kept a little privacy for him, and waited until she really needed that person to help him. Prove your presence and discuss it with him.

She said with a sneer: "Isn't there an important negotiation the next day? Maybe it's a business matter. It's too late."

Fu Shiyu was noncommittal, but Tang Xi'en could see that he already had doubts about Fu Zhengye.

……

In the afternoon, Tang Xi'en and the chief lawyer attended the arraignment of Fu Zhengye's case. In addition to saying that they would plead not guilty, they also applied to the judge for Fu Zhengye's release on bail. He refused to set bail and put Fu Zhengye in prison.

After retiring from court, the prosecution and the defendant exchanged information.Tang Xien obtained the forensic medical examination report on the victim and the evidence at the scene of the crime from the prosecution, and began to conduct this stage of investigation and evidence collection.

Because I want to try to persuade the prosecution to withdraw the charges when I move the pre-trial motion, and Fu Zhengye has now been officially put into prison. The prison environment is not good, let alone the prison culture in country M, which is always hostile to QJ prisoners. Everyone is worried that Fu Zhengye is in it Being disabled, investigation and evidence collection is imminent.

Until late at night, they were still discussing the case in the conference room of the law firm.

On the cork board on the wall, there were many photos of the victim's injury. The scars in the photos were shocking, and Tang Xien's morning sickness made a comeback.

The identification report of the forensic department is handed a copy.

That report was an identification of the bodily fluids in the TT found at the crime scene. The forensic conclusion stated that the bodily fluid samples belonged to Fu Zhengye himself, and Fu Zhengye's fingernails were found to belong to the victim's DNA.

Everyone is silent...

The case appears to have reached a dead end.

 I had insomnia last night, I didn’t fall asleep until dawn, and only slept for 2 hours. I started to feel a little uncomfortable in my heart in the afternoon.Have a good rest at night, and I will definitely update it tomorrow!
