"I want to see my lawyer, and I refuse to answer any questions until I see him again." Zhou Ruotong shook his head and replied expressionlessly.

The chief judge smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "Please face up to your current situation and actively cooperate with the police investigation." After a pause, he continued to ask: "On June 12th, did you accept Liu Zhong's banquet and sign the LED screen order and installation contract?" Zhou Ruotong raised his head arrogantly and said nothing.

A policeman next to him interjected: "Please cooperate with the police investigation and don't treat it negatively, it will only be bad for you." ”

"I want to see my lawyer." Zhou Ruotong shrugged and said.

Three interrogations, Zhou Ruotong was treated like this. The patience of the three policemen was almost gone, they bowed their heads and discussed a few words, and then the chief judge continued to speak: "Zhou Ruotong, please don't argue, your employee Liu Xin has already confessed." I hope you will face up to your current situation and be honest with yourself. ”

Hearing Liu Xin's explanation, a complicated look flashed on Zhou Ruotong's face. However, she still said indifferently: "Until I see my lawyer again, I refuse to answer any questions. ”

The chief judge tapped on the table, exchanged glances with another policeman sitting on the side, and then asked the recorder to take the transcript to Zhou Ruotong and said, "Please see if the interrogation record is true." ”

Zhou Ruotong took it and looked at it a few times, but there was no interrogation in the first place, and the recorder just recorded the scene. She nodded and said, "It's true." ”

The recorder handed her the ink and pen and said, "If it is true, please sign it and press it." ”

This is the end of the interrogation. When she got up from the interrogation chair, Zhou Ruotong asked, "When can I see my lawyer?" ”

The chief judge pondered for a moment, and said a little coldly: "You wait." ”

"It's my right." Zhou Ruotong's tone was a little cold.

The presiding judge sneered and said, "You don't have any rights now. ”

"I'm not a prisoner yet, you can't convict me, why don't I have the right to meet with a lawyer?" Zhou Ruotong stared at the presiding judge.

The presiding judge spread his hands and said, "Then you should confess as soon as possible, so that we can file a public prosecution earlier." Whether guilty or not is determined by the court. ”

"I have nothing to give an account of, and I have not sinned." Zhou Ruotong said coldly.

"To prove that you have not committed a crime, please cooperate with our investigation and complete the interrogation as much as possible." The chief judge's tone was also very cold, and after three interrogations, Zhou Ruotong looked very arrogant and did not cooperate with their work at all.

"Then I'll wait to see my lawyer." Zhou Ruotong shrugged, then left the interrogation room under the custody of two police officers.

The three interrogations did not ask anything, which made the police quite a headache, especially now that the pressure of public opinion on the Internet is increasing, and the urging calls from the leaders above have also made them have to think of various ways to speed up the interrogation.

Especially on the morning of the second day after Zhou Ruotong's arraignment, several heavyweight foreign media suddenly reported on the matter, and seemed to be extremely concerned about the fairness and fairness of domestic laws, which ignited the entire online media circle, aroused great attention and discussion in the media, and the pressure on the police was also increasing.

In law, a trial looks at the facts that are evident, not the facts that actually happened. The current situation is that in the face of all the evidence and facts, it is unfavorable to Zhou Ruotong. The police received the above order to use these two facts to store evidence, directly submit them to the public prosecution, and let the court try them, so as to confirm the matter and sentence Zhou Ruotong to at least ten years and eight years.

But now in this case, there is suddenly another directive from above: investigate the whole matter clearly and give the public a fair and fair explanation.

It seems that in the face of strong public opinion, the police also have to take it seriously.

Therefore, the next morning, Zhou Ruotong met his lawyer as he wished.

"Now public opinion is in our favor, at least it will not be interfered with by rights." The meeting was very short, and the lawyer did not have too many greetings, and said directly: "But in terms of evidence, there is no hope of winning this matter." ”

Zhou Ruotong frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Why?" "Because the other side has strong evidence, and we don't. Even if there is public opinion to support it now, the law only recognizes the evidentiary facts. The lawyer sighed and continued: "If we can't provide favorable evidence, this time ...... There's really no chance of winning. ”

Zhou Ruotong's face was slightly cold, she lowered her head and thought for a moment, and then asked, "Have you seen Lin Zheng?" ”

The lawyer shook his head and said, "Lin Zheng has also been arrested, and I haven't seen it yet." ”

Zhou Ruotong bit her lip and groaned for a moment, she continued: "What about Liu Xin? ”

"He went in too, but he met with his lawyer yesterday." The lawyer replied earnestly: "They contacted me last night, but I haven't met with them until I have your consent." ”

"Let's go meet them." Zhou Ruotong nodded and said, "Find a way to see Lin Zheng, he has evidence in his hand, but it's not time to hand it over yet." ”

After speaking, Zhou Ruotong glanced at the lawyer, stood up, and said very calmly: "Lawyer Hu, please leave it to you this time." ”

Lawyer Hu also stood up, nodded, and said, "I will do my best." ”

When Zhou Ruotong met with lawyer Hu, a high-level meeting was also held within the Chun'an branch of Linhai City to discuss the current case.

The meeting was presided over by Director Dong of the Chun'an Branch. He sat in the middle, cigarette in his mouth, but he couldn't hide his coercion.

Glancing at the audience, he snuffed out the cigarette butt and said majestically, "Okay, let's start the meeting." After speaking, he took out another cigarette and put it in his mouth, lit it and took a deep breath, and then said: "Old boy, does Liu Zhong have a clue?" ”

A sturdy and sturdy male policeman sitting on his left shook his head and said, "No, this Liu Zhong disappeared after installing the LED screen for the Blue Fox Company, and his family doesn't know where he went." Now the company is still there, but none of the people in the company can be found. ”

Director Dong took a puff of cigarette, slapped the table again, and said in a cold voice: "Have you found the IP address of the information released abroad?" ”

"No, the other party is using a wireless network card, and the IP has been changed several times, and it has not been found yet. But it should have been sent by Zhou Ruotong's friend, otherwise there wouldn't be so many detailed information. Moreover, the anti-reconnaissance capability is relatively high, and the crisis public relations ability is super strong. The policeman called Lao Tong continued.

"Give me more efforts to check, his grandmother's, Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, they publish a lot of information on the Internet, and they don't leave a trace?" Director Dong took a puff of cigarette, slapped the table and said: "Notify the media and the website that publishes the information, and immediately ask them to block and delete all information, and prohibit any relevant content from being published in the future." If there is a post that has been forwarded, it will be tracked by network location. After speaking, he glanced at the audience and said in a cold voice: "The leaders above are very angry about this matter, especially when foreign media report this matter today, and now they must use all means to eliminate the impact that has been caused." In addition, learn the lesson of this time, and solve any information on the Internet in the future as soon as possible. ”

"Board of directors, do you want to delete all the information? Zheng's ......," said a tall, skinny policeman sitting to the left of Director Dong.

But before he could finish speaking, Director Dong turned his head and glared at him, patted the table and said, "Old Xing, didn't you understand what I just said?" All messages are blocked and deleted. If there is still media to report, arrest for spreading rumors. ”

Seeing that Director Dong was indeed angry, no one below dared to speak out. Lao Xing, who had been reprimanded just now, also lowered his head, nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, I know." ”

The reports of the foreign media have indeed caused some negative impacts, so much so that some leaders have spoken directly, and the media and the Internet are not allowed to disseminate any information about the case, and they must try it as much as possible.

The conference room was silent for a while, and the policeman surnamed Tong spoke: "Dong Bureau, then this case ......"

"What's the current situation?" Director Dong directly interrupted his speech.

The woman didn't confess anything, the man did say something, but they didn't have any evidence that they didn't commit a crime. But the evidence we found pointed to them. The policeman surnamed Tong nodded.

"Then hurry up and submit an indictment, the above has already spoken." Director Dong extinguished the half-smoked cigarette he had just smoked, and then said lightly.

In this way, Director Dong set the direction of this case. Mainly, there is too much pressure from above, and the reports of foreign media this morning have made many people feel uneasy. If they continue like this, they will lose face. Therefore, I thought of using a qiē means to prevent the release of all kinds of information on the Internet, and to judge the case in the shortest possible time.

Anna's original intention was good, that is, to use the influence of foreign media to seek a fair and equitable environment for investigating cases. But she didn't think that in this particular country, it would be counterproductive, and it would only make some people feel upset, and then use forceful means to get rid of it.

If there were no foreign media reports, perhaps the case would really develop in the direction that Liu Xin envisioned. But now it's completely beyond everyone's imagination.

Within two hours of the meeting at the Chun'an sub-bureau, almost all the media and Internet sites that had reported on the incident received a call and blocked the information. At the same time, the technical police of the sub-bureau also began to use technical means to lock the IP address of the released information.

The first to notice the anomaly was Chen Bin, who sensed that his IP address was being monitored and tried to take control of his computer. He immediately cut off the power, cut off all contact with the outside world, and told the rest of the room that everyone had unplugged the Wi-Fi card and turned off the power.
