133: This isn't over yet.

The same question also came from Zhang Yunfan, who was already processing his release from the Detention Center.

Facing Zhang Yunfan's inquiry, the Police Officer at the Detention Center said he was also unclear, as he rarely saw a situation where someone was arrested but not prosecuted.

Friends who are frequently arrested know that in reality, most cases of release after arrest are a form of release called "actual reimbursement."

This is not a legal term, but rather a slang term used by criminal defense lawyers in their circle, because... it's truly fitting.

Originally, this was a method proposed by some criminal defense lawyers that benefited the parties involved, such as in cases of telecom fraud or similar gang-related crimes, where bail is generally not granted to prevent collusion.

If a series of procedures leads to direct detention for a year, then a suspended sentence would be meaningless.

At this time, criminal defense lawyers would suggest a one-year sentence and then immediate release, to avoid further trouble.

But this also brings new problems. For example, in a certain case, if the suspect was held in the Detention Center for two years, what then? It can be 100% certain that the Court will never sentence him to less than two years.

There was a particularly interesting case where Zhang San was arrested for the crime of aiding information network criminal activities, and the Procuratorate's suggested sentence was one year, which was fine.

At that time, it happened to be during the mask period, and the Court did not grant bail in time.

As a result, Zhang San was detained for one year and ten days.

Zhang San thought he would be sentenced to one year as previously suggested, after all, he had pleaded guilty and accepted punishment.

However, the Court refused to agree, and finally sentenced him to one year and one month... Zhang San stayed in the Detention Center for an additional twenty days.

After his release, Zhang San was resentful about those twenty days.

At this moment, at the entrance of the Detention Center, Old Zhuang and Zhang Yunfan's mother stood beside Zhou Yun.

Old Zhuang kept saying, "See? I told you Director Zhou would definitely handle it."

Zhou Yun remained silent. In Old Zhuang's mouth, his title changed three times a day; normally he was Lao Zhou and Zhou Yun, but when needed, he was Director Zhou.

Just then, Zhang Yunfan walked out and, seeing the three, immediately said happily, "Mom, Zhou Lawyer? Why are you here?"

It was only after taking a few steps forward that he noticed another person beside them.

"Ah, Uncle, you're here too. I didn't see you just now..."

Old Zhuang: "..."

I am an elder, I will not get angry with a junior, I am not angry, I have no emotions.

Zhou Yun smiled from the side, "Alright, let's not chat here. Let's go eat first."

Everyone else nodded. In our traditionalConcept, eating is not just about eating; sometimes it's more like a ritual.

The group arrived at the restaurant Old Zhuang had booked, and Zhang Yunfan asked that question again.

Zhou Yun smiled and said, "Actually, it's very simple. Why is it difficult to be found innocent after arrest? Just identify the main contradiction."

"The main contradiction is that an acquittal after arrest will lead to performance reviews."

"So if we can help them resolve this main contradiction, then won't there be a problem?"

This is the simplest and most direct application of contradiction theory. If you can't pinpoint this main contradiction, no matter how many tricks you play in other areas, it won't work.

Always remember one thing: prosecutors are also human. How you would think at work, they will also think.

Listening to Zhou Yun's explanation, Zhang Yunfan was stunned. He absolutely could not have imagined such a solution!

Using civil means to solve criminal problems, and the logic actually made sense.

More importantly, it even helped him get fifty thousand yuan! He could hardly believe it!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunfan raised his wine glass and said, "Zhou Lawyer, I won't say much more. Thank you so much this time. If you need anything in the future, just say the word. It's all in this drink!"

After speaking, he drained the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Hearing these words, Zhou Yun smiled. He didn't really take them to heart.

Humans are creatures that act impulsively when emotions arise, but once emotions subside, they tend to overthink.

So he said, "Mr. Zhang, don't be so quick to thank me now, because the matter isn't over yet."

"I have already filed for divorce on your behalf."

"Of course, the divorce lawsuit is just a means. My real intention is to investigate your wife's financial transactions!"

Zhang Yunfan was a bit confused. Old Zhuang, beside him, flushed and said, "Don't you think the timing of Liu Jiale's report was a bit off?"

Seeing that the other party still hadn't reacted, Zhou Yun put down his wine glass and explained, "If Liu Jiale wanted to report it, normally he would have reported it within a week."

"But the other party chose to do so a month later. Think about it again, within that month, you and your wife repeatedly brought up divorce, even saying you would sue in Court..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yunfan understood: "Zhou Lawyer, do you mean they both deliberately wanted me to go in? And at that time, we even signed that guarantee saying we wouldn't meet again."

Zhou Yun tapped the table with his finger and said, "Right now, we don't have clear evidence."

"What I know now is that your wife repeatedly emphasized in the case transcript that you threatened the other party, saying that if they didn't pay, you would go to their company and make a scene, and post it online."

What? Hearing this, Zhang Yunfan was dumbfounded: "She... she really said that? But I didn't say that later..."

Zhou Yun nodded. This was in the case evidence, which he had seen when reviewing the files.

He couldn't say it before, but now that the case resulted in an innocent non-prosecution, there was no need to keep it confidential anymore.

"But this evidence is not enough, so I filed for divorce with the aim of flushing them out!"

"It just depends on whether they take the bait."

The logic is simple: right now, there are suspicious points, but it's not enough, because there's no video after the negotiation started, only some fragmented recordings.

However, as long as it can be discovered that there were financial entanglements between the two during this period, that's enough.

"Enough" here doesn't mean the evidence is sufficient, but rather that it's enough to report to the Police.

The rest is up to the Public Security Bureau. As long as an investigation can be initiated, the problem will be easier to handle.

Old Zhuang then said, "But there's still a problem. How do you investigate Liu Jiale?"

Zhou Yun smiled, picked up his wine glass and said, "The second instance ruled for fifty thousand, and three thousand was already given before, and that three thousand wasn't returned."

"Do you think the other party will give that twenty thousand?"

Zhang Yunfan said, "That guy named Liu probably hates my guts. How could he possibly give it?"

"Exactly!" Zhou Yun said, "If he doesn't give it, I can apply for enforcement and then apply for an investigation order to check."

No matter what Liu Jiale and that other person want to do, he only needs to grasp the core contradiction, which is money, because money is the most important.

Zhang Yunfan still had some money. His ex-wife, Wu Yufang, didn't want a divorce before because of the money, only using the child as an excuse.

A woman who dated another man for three years, she said she wanted to consider the child, who would believe that?

After dinner, everyone went home. This time, after waiting for about a week, Zhou Yun obtained two lawyer investigation orders from the Nanyun District Court.

One was for Wu Yufang, and one was for Liu Jiale.

He wanted to investigate not just Bank transactions, because much of the property cannot be reflected through a single Bank transaction.

For example, insurance, stocks, and funds, etc.

Actually, when it comes to the issue of deadbeats, enforcement lawyers and enforcement judges have many clever tricks.

For example, a law firm famous for its enforcement practices, how do they do it? When facing a male deadbeat, they find a beautiful woman to add the other party on WeChat and flirt.

Because the biggest problem in practice is not being able to find the other party, so they find a beautiful woman to chat with the other party, and then various admirations...

Sending photos, video calls, anything works.

Worried about scammers, right? They send you red packets, and they actively come to you, you set the location, so you wouldn't even be afraid of that, right?

This process can last a long time, because they operate on multiple lines, and usually, it's the big, unkempt guys from the law firm who do the chatting.

Alright, when you are overjoyed thinking you've found love, you meet and find the other party brought the Police...

Commonly known as 'fishing enforcement.' If it's a woman, then find a handsome man to go... Don't laugh, this method is quite efficient.

There's no other way. What do you do if you can't find the person? There are no other means, so you can only use this method.

As for Zhou Yun, after many days of investigation, he finally found a clue.
