The audio provided by Zhang Zhijun does not stop here.
Zhuo Jinxin probably came to her senses and began to deny what she said. She asked Zhang Zhijun if he wanted to hear her say that. She said what Zhang Zhijun wanted to say. Was Zhang Zhijun satisfied?
"Why don't you call the police on me?"
"It's really you—"
"Of course it wasn't me, it was an accident! When you live in this world, who knows when an accident will happen? You should learn a lesson from Xie Qian's accident and cherish the people around you!"
These words sounded like both a denial and a threat.
Zhang Zhijun did not record the subsequent calls.
"I didn't know what else to say to her, and I wasn't sure if she had arranged the accident. Without any other evidence, I was afraid the law wouldn't punish her, and instead it would provoke her into harming my family, so I didn't report the case right away."
Zhang Zhijun explained.
"Mr. Zhang, you should trust the police!"
Zhang Zhijun's face was filled with shame. "I'll remember this. Next time something like this happens, I will report it to the police immediately."
Will this happen again next time?
How could anyone be so unlucky as to always run into murderers?
Judging from the recording, the car accident was indeed not directly related to Zhang Zhijun, and he was unaware of the incident before it occurred. Zhang Zhijun speculated after the accident and deliberately set up a trap for Zhuo Jinxin during the call. Zhuo Jinxin admitted to the crime but then immediately denied it. Zhang Zhijun was unsure whether Zhuo had actually hired a killer, and he did not help Zhuo Jinxin evade legal action, thus failing to commit the crime of harboring a criminal.
Zhang Zhijun handled all these issues very well, so the police could only give him a few verbal warnings and remind him not to travel abroad in the near future. A deeper investigation of this case would require Zhang Zhijun's cooperation.
When Zhang Zhijun left the Public Security Bureau, he happened to run into Zhuo Yue.
Zhuo Yue came with Du Li.
Theoretically, lawyers can meet with detained suspects during the investigation phase of a criminal case, but this request must be approved by the investigating authorities. In practice, investigations are time-bound, closed, and confidential, and authorities prefer not to allow lawyers to meet with suspects too early. They will only approve a meeting if there's a significant breakthrough—a breakthrough that doesn't affect the case, regardless of whether the lawyer meets with the suspect or not.
Want to meet twice during the reconnaissance phase?
It's very difficult.
Almost impossible.
Because interviews are difficult during the investigation phase, most lawyers are reluctant to accept clients at this stage. Du Li accepted the case, noting that he didn't mind the difficulties. The greater the difficulty, the more money he could make.
When the two sides met, Zhuo Yue felt like she had met her backbone.
“…Uncle Zhang!”
Zhuo Yue was afraid of displeasing Zhang Zhijun, so she just called him uncle.
Zhang Zhijun looked at Zhuo Yue twice without saying anything. Du Li walked up to Zhang Zhijun and wanted to find a place to talk with him.
Zhang Zhijun looked at his watch: "Sorry, I have other things to do."
Du Li: “…”
Zhuo Yue said that Zhang Zhijun came to help, but his attitude doesn't seem like that!
Zhuo Yue also noticed something was wrong: "Uncle Zhang, you will save Mommy, right?"
Zhang Zhijun sighed deeply and earnestly warned Zhuo Yue, "Even though you are still young, you must learn to distinguish right from wrong. Your mother broke the law, how can I save her? Zhuo Yue, you still have a long life to live. In the future... learn from your mother and don't follow her path."
After Zhang Zhijun finished speaking, he left without looking back.
Zhuo Yue stood there, completely petrified.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhijun not only did not help, but also taught her a lesson at this time.
"Zhang Zhijun, stop!"
Zhuo Yue ran out hysterically, but Zhang Zhijun had already gotten into the car. The car drove away in front of Zhuo Yue. Zhang Zhijun really didn't have the slightest fatherly heart towards her.
The investigating police officer, observing this scene, somewhat believed part of Zhang Zhijun's confession: Zhang Zhijun himself had no expectations for the birth of his illegitimate daughter, Zhuo Yue. For so many years, Zhang Zhijun had been forced to be tied to Zhuo Jinxin because of this illegitimate daughter. His wife, Lu Meishu, had committed suicide because of the affair, and her elderly father had died of anger. Zhang Zhijun had had enough of being controlled and manipulated by Zhuo Jinxin!
A child who is not expected at birth will naturally not receive fatherly love.
Seeing Zhuo Yue losing control, even a lawyer like Du Li, who is only interested in money, felt a moment of pity.
Still a little girl.
However, on second thought, this little girl has been living a life of luxury since she was born, and enjoys a luxurious life that ordinary people can hardly imagine, and her mother is a fickle murderer... Du Li's weak sympathy disappeared.
Du Li held Zhuo Yue back and said, "It's rare to help someone in need, but it's common to kick someone when they're down. Calm down, we still have to save Ms. Zhuo!"
It would be better for Du Li without Zhang Zhijun's help.
Once Zhang Zhijun intervenes, he may help Zhuo Jinxin change a lawyer.
Now Zhuo Jinxin and Zhuo Chen are both imprisoned, and Zhuo Yue, a little girl, is at a loss. Naturally, she will do whatever Du Li says!
Du Li persuaded Zhuo Yue and proposed to meet with Zhuo Jinxin, but was rejected as expected.
How could the police allow Zhuo Jinxin to see a lawyer now?
The recording provided by Zhang Zhijun brought a breakthrough to the investigation of the case, and the police were busy continuing to interrogate Zhuo Jinxin and bodyguard Carl.
Although Zhuo Jinxin initially admitted to "hiring a killer" during a phone call with Zhang Zhijun, then later denied it, this was sufficient. It at least proved that the police's investigation was on track and that Zhuo Jinxin was indeed not innocent.
Combined with other miscellaneous evidence, as long as either bodyguard Carl or Zhuo Jinxin cannot withstand the interrogation, all the existing evidence will be connected.
