www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!
Beiguan Jinshun Hotel is a two-story building. In fact, it is the same building as the one at No. 6 Jing'an Lane that Lu Ming bought. However, there are more than a dozen extremely small rooms upstairs and downstairs. An extremely cheap small hotel, the daily rent for each room is about 1 yuan.
Now, this small hotel has been rented by Cheng Lingyu, with a monthly rent of 200. It is temporarily rented for a month, and all the members of the "task force" have moved in.
The members of the task force are mainly prosecutors from the Xinfa District Procuratorial Branch.
The case of Masaichi Kato’s serial murder has been filed with the Ninth Circuit Court of the East China Sea, also known as the Beiguan Court. The court has also officially accepted the case and is waiting to be scheduled.
The chief prosecutor is served by Senior Prosecutor Cheng Lingyu, and he also selects the team members.
The second prosecutor is Yu Zhengdao, the prosecutor director of the Xinfa District Procuratorate Branch. He is also an experienced prosecutor.
In addition, the team also has a Deputy Director of Prosecution, a Prosecution Commissioner, and two Assistant Prosecution Commissioners, who are responsible for collecting evidence, checking for gaps, filling in omissions, etc. They are actually errands, mostly young prosecutors.
The Beiguan Prosecution Division also sent one person to join the team. Lu Ming’s old acquaintance, Hou Dexing, the star prosecutor of the Beiguan Prosecution Division, was labeled by Lu Ming as a weakened version of Li Mingxuan in Beiguan.
Lu Ming fought against Liu Laocai on the case.
Hou Dexing is a prosecutor commissioner, the most junior prosecutor in the prosecutor hierarchy. After all, he is young.
As for the assistant prosecutor, it can basically be regarded as an internship and does not have the qualification to independently appear in court.
Assistant Prosecution Commissioner, Prosecution Commissioner, Deputy Prosecution Director, Prosecution Director, Senior Prosecution Director, etc. can be regarded as the professional titles in the previous life, and can also be regarded as the hierarchical sequence of prosecutors. As in the previous life, the phenomenon of seniority is serious.
There are eight prosecutors in the team, which can be said to be an unprecedentedly powerful lineup.
Now, another external lawyer has been added to the prosecution team, namely Lu Ming.
The largest room in the hotel was used as a conference room, and Cheng Lingyu presided over the first prosecution team meeting to arrange the work distribution of the prosecutors.
In addition to the nine members of the prosecution team, sitting on chairs in the corner were two police detectives from the Thirteenth 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 Empire on Prosecution, in criminal cases, the prosecutorial agency has temporary command authority over the police officers handling the case.
This is very similar to what Lu Ming knew about Korea in his previous life.
In most other countries, in prosecution cases, the procuratorate and the police department have a cooperative relationship. Of course, the procuratorate is the main one and the police department is the supplement.
Although the Beiguan Court accepted the case, in fact, the prosecution’s evidence was still very weak and further evidence collection was needed.
Cheng Lingyu assigned the work to each prosecutor, including the two police detectives, and everyone took notebooks to record.
Only Lu Ming's hands were empty. He looked at the swarthy Xiaoqiang crawling in and out of the floor, and he was in a daze.
"Lu Qianxing, Lu Dazhuang, what do you have in mind?" Cheng Lingyu suddenly looked at Lu Ming with a sarcastic tone. Seeing that Lu Ming did not take notes seriously and was out of tune with the others, he was a little dissatisfied.
Lu Ming smiled: "No, I'm listening. Wang Jian is responsible for the safety and psychological counseling of the surviving boys. He must guide the psychiatrist and try his best to get the surviving children permission to testify in court. The best solution is , is to obtain a valid confession and prevent the defense from asking him to go to court through a psychological report.”
"High prosecutor, together with the patrol officers, take the boy's photo with you and be sure to find someone who knows him and determine his identity. It would be great if you can find his relatives."
"Jiang Zhang, we also need the cooperation of the patrol department to screen local missing children to see if we can find the victims mentioned by Jin Zhengyi. We must be careful and conscientious and cover the following villages."
"Inspector Liu, we must handle the relationship well with the media. We must pay special attention to the defense's comments in the media and guide the media to our advantage. However, the popularity should not be too high, so as not to give the defense an excuse to have a mistrial."
"Wow!" Sitting next to Lu Ming was a young man with a childish look on his face. He looked like a prosecutor who had just graduated from university. Indeed, his name was Wang Xiaohu, 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 had been immersed in memorizing, preparing to go back and sort out the context of the officer's speech, but now he saw that this young lawyer Lu didn't use paper and pen at all, but he remembered everything clearly. What's even more exciting is that what he said They are all key points, not a word of nonsense, concise and to the point. In fact, after Chief Cheng chattered for a long time, Lawyer Lu summarized it in a few words. Now you can just write down what Lawyer Lu said. This is a summary of the key points that you need to go back and sort out. .
It’s simply amazing!
Over there, Cheng Lingyu was startled 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 those of your lawyers, but if we just hire you and have enough funds, we don't have to work here. If you start working here, you will receive a monthly subsidy of 325 yuan. With 525 yuan, we can rent an office space that is two levels higher than here!”
When they heard that Lu Ming’s external employment fee was 325 yuan a month, some prosecutors showed resentment on their faces. This was their pain point.
Although prosecutors' salaries are not low, they are all poor compared to the successful lawyers they often deal with.
The monthly salary of an assistant prosecutor is only fifty or sixty yuan. Even for Cheng Lingyu, the senior prosecutor, who is at the top of the pyramid among ordinary prosecutors, his monthly salary is only about 300 yuan.
On the other hand, if an external lawyer is hired to prosecute, the fee is usually very high. How can this not be annoying?
Where can this young rookie lawyer make 325 yuan a month to argue?
Lu Ming rubbed his nose. In fact, the prosecutorial department hired external lawyers to prosecute, and usually hired well-known barristers to be the prosecutors.
The so-called monthly subsidy is only symbolic. A famous barrister may spend several months working as a prosecutor without taking any other cases. What is the money for? It's just reputation.
Sometimes it is because defense lawyers are tired, the competition is too fierce, and the assessment scores drive people crazy. In comparison, prosecutors are too comfortable.
Therefore, after making enough money, some people turn to prosecution, even to use prosecution as a springboard to pave the way for entering politics.
As for myself, I was hired externally, but I am not the second prosecutor. In other words, I cannot sit at the prosecutor's table. I am only a member of the team participating in the case. If I want to watch the trial, I have to apply for it myself and sit in and sit in. seats.
But she has provided key evidence and has the support of Li Guan. She is not ordinary. Therefore, she can join this huge prosecution team, and the subsidy should be paid according to the normal standards for external lawyer recruitment. .
But obviously, it seems unfair to these prosecutors.
But having said that, prosecutors are very comfortable, and most of them cannot adapt to the fierce competition among lawyers. There are many prosecutors who entered the public sector after failing in the competition in the lawyer industry. There shouldn't be anything to complain about.
"Go on!" Cheng Lingyu also felt that after he finished speaking, the atmosphere was not right and would affect team unity, so he changed the topic and continued to assign tasks to the prosecutor and assistant prosecutor.
"Wang Xiaohu, you are responsible for checking the underground human trafficking market to see if there is any possibility of selling children to Japanese people. This requires the cooperation of the local patrol police. Sorry, Chief Li!"
Li Wei nodded lightly: "Don't worry, Inspector Cheng. Our Criminal Division will fully cooperate during this period. We will stop all cases that can be stopped and allocate manpower to this case."
Cheng Lingyu looked at Lu Ming again: "Lawyer Lu, you and Xiaohu should be together. Give Xiaohu more guidance."
Lu Ming smiled and nodded.
In fact, everyone with a discerning eye knows that the underground human trafficking market is a dead horse being treated 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.
Wang Xiaohu was so excited when he heard that he could be paired with Lu Ming. He blushed and stammered to Lu Ming: "Brother Lu, I will definitely learn from you!"
He comes from a poor family, and can be said to be one of the few examples of people who rely on knowledge to change their destiny and make a class jump.
His academic performance has always been excellent. He graduated with honors from the Imperial University Law School and chose a stable job as a prosecutor.
He has always longed for lawyers who speak eloquently in court, because his eloquence is not very good. He is even more envious of young lawyers who can go to court to criticize Fang Qiu at a young age, and admires their courage and self-confidence. .
Lawyer Lu, who was only nineteen years old, became a second-dan lawyer in the first year he entered the legal profession. Moreover, because of Lawyer Lu, he gave birth to a legal principle in the Beiguan Court that was accepted by most other courts in the empire, that is, "Protection of young children" principle.
Lawyer Lu is simply his role model in life.
Although he is older than Lawyer Lu, he is the first to achieve success. It is difficult to express his admiration for him without calling him "big brother", which is like the water of the Yellow River flooding out of control.
