【Death of a Lawyer-05】

Transfer money is very convenient in modern society. If you have mobile banking, you can transfer large amounts of money within an hour. There are fewer and fewer occasions to use cash. With so much cash in Zhou Ziyang's drawers and boxes, there must be some hidden secrets.

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

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

Jiang Pingce rationalized his thoughts and replied seriously: "I don't go to the bank to transfer the money, maybe because the money cannot be transferred to an account in an open and honest way, leaving a transfer record. In this case, either someone bribed him privately to send it to him. He did not dare to deposit the cash in the bank card; or he secretly stole more than E cash and wanted to conduct some illegal transactions with people."

Whether it is a private bribe or a secret deal, cash is indeed a more secure way than transferring money.

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to his colleague behind him, "Go to the bank to check Zhou Ziyang's account flow in recent years, and whether he has withdrawn a large amount of cash."

The two colleagues acted immediately.

Other colleagues continued to search for evidence around the office and took all fingerprints left in the office.

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

Lin Wei rushed forward, frowning at the divorce agreement, and Jiang Pingce followed.

Ke Shaobin looked back at Jiang Pingce, and calmly copied the information into the laptop he carried with him.

The first two lines of the agreement are personal information such as the names and ID cards of both spouses, and then it reads: "Because the relationship between the husband and wife has broken down and they cannot continue to live, the manager has decided to divorce after considering it. The rights and obligations involved are hereby reached. The following agreement. "

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

Article 2: Property ownership. The properties located at 33-01, 33-02, and 33-03, Unit 1, Building A, Jiayuan, Jinzuo District, and Villa C7, Villa Shanzhuang, Qingtang District, were purchased by Zhou Ziyang before marriage. The above four properties still belong to Zhou Ziyang;

Article 3: Attribution of cash, stocks, etc.: The man's annual income is about 2 million yuan after eight years of marriage, most of which is used for living expenses and child support, and 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 in cash;

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

Seeing this, Jiang Pingce couldn't help frowning--Isn't this divorce agreement 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!

When I asked my colleagues at the law firm before, someone mentioned that Zhou Ziyang's wife Liu Lan is the school flower of Beijiang University of Political Science and Law, graduated from a prestigious school, and is so beautiful that it is impossible to find a job. The agreement mentioned that "the woman does not have a job". It is possible that she gave up her job for the sake of her family and became a full-time wife?

As a result, not only will they not be able to share the house during the divorce, but they will not even be able to keep the custody of the children.

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

After all, lawyers are the ones who know marriage law best and know how to legally fight for their best interests. Of course, this kind of lawyer who has to calculate even his own 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 can afford a villa before marriage. I don't 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 Knowing this, it may also kill him."

Lin Wei touched his chin and said, "It seems that I have to chat with this lady Liu Lan."

Last night, the police team worked overtime all night, and they had already 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 could not be reached.

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

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

There were noisy background sounds around, and the mechanical sound of "Yu Minhui on the 17th, please go to the consultation room No. 3" can be clearly heard.

Is it the hospital?

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

Liu Lan was a little surprised: "Police? Is something wrong?" There were footsteps in her ears, and she should have come to a quiet corner with her mobile phone: "I'm sorry, I'm seeing a doctor in the hospital, and 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 anything about him."

Team Lin said directly: "E regrets to inform you that your husband fell to his death 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, the 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 check 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, and the doctor prescribed her depression-related medicine."

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 down from the rooftop of the building? How did she dodge the building surveillance?

This case is full of doubts, and the specific conclusion will have to wait until I see Liu Lan.

***

Colleagues took away the information of all cases handled by Zhou Ziyang, and there were no other clues in the office, so everyone closed the team.

The forensic doctor E quickly gave 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 proves that he had drank alcohol before his death. Judging from his digestion, he ate a late-night snack two hours before his death, and ate steak. Semen was detected in his underwear, and he may have had **** with someone before his death. Skin scraps that did not belong to him were found in his fingernails and Bloodstains, genetic testing."

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

He should have 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 waiting for him in the building, and the two went to the office of Xinghe Building. Looking for excitement in the dark, Zhou Ziyang fell on the roof of the building after finishing the work.

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

Jiang Pingce organized the existing materials of the case into a document and sent it to Yuexingwen.

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 to consult legal issues: "Officer, how many times do I have to say it before you believe me? My sister and my brother-in-law are not on good terms. When it comes to divorce, I just asked lawyer Zhou to consult, how to let my sister get custody of the house and children!"

Team Lin asked, "Has your sister's lawsuit opened 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, could it be related to this case? If you are not satisfied, you can appeal. Is it the conversation between Zhou Ziyang and this "sister"? Or did he handle other cases?

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

Chen Yueqin's face changed suddenly.

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

When Chen Yueqin saw this necklace, it was like seeing a ghost, her lips began to tremble violently: "I, I, and I have been together with Lawyer Zhou for half a year. When I asked him about legal issues last year, I found that he is a gentle and gentle man , a talented man, he was obsessed 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, "Do you know that Zhou Ziyang is going to divorce his wife?"

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 has given you a lot of promises? If you find out that these promises are all he is lying to you, and he is just playing with you, will you become angry and push him off the roof? "

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

At this moment, Jiang Pingce received a message from Yue Xingwen: "Chen Yueqin's colleague said that yesterday she went out after get off work to pack some food and returned to Xinghe Building. The earliest colleague who went to work today said that at 8 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. Their designers sometimes stayed overnight in the office in order to catch up on drafts, 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. Before 8:00 this morning, the surveillance at the entrance of the building did not capture her entry and exit records. It proves that she slept last night. In the 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 now suspected of being a big E. You had close contact with the deceased last night, and you stayed in the Xinghe Building for the night. You have the time and motive for committing the crime, and your skin was found in the deceased's nails. And blood, the necklace dropped from the rooftop has also been confirmed to be yours, we can apply for your arrest now!"

Chen Yueqin was so frightened that her face was pale, and she roared: "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 around 11 o'clock in the evening. , I fell asleep, I don't know what happened after that, I'm really not the murderer! Please believe me..."

The woman's face was full of tears, her makeup was smeared, and she didn't know if it was because of sadness or fear.

However, no matter how sophistry she made, her suspicion was indeed the biggest at present.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, clenched her fists tightly, and said viciously: "It must have been Liu Lan killed! Liu Lan knew that her husband was going to divorce her, not to divide the property with her, and to take away the children, she was sure It's a murderous intention! Zhou Ziyang's parents have long since passed away, as long as Zhou Ziyang is dead, as a spouse, she will be the only heir!"

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

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

She was wearing a linen dress, white high-heeled shoes, her long hair was **** loosely at the back of her head, and she had no makeup on her face. Very eye-catching, even though 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.

Unlike the collapse when most of the family members came to claim the body, her mood was exceptionally 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 calm as if it was not her husband who died, but a stranger who had nothing to do with her.
