Chapter 304 Don’t Sign
"Prosecutor Zhang, there's a man at the door who said he was the one you were looking for. His name is An Bowen." The voice of the security guard at the door came over the phone.
"I called him here." Zhang Hao said.
"Then I'll let him wait at the door? And then let him go up when it's time to work?" the security guard asked.
The time is now half past twelve, and the normal working hours of government departments are one o'clock.
Government departments say they start work at 12:59, but they definitely won't start work at :.
Even in some departments, it is normal to start work at one o'clock and work at around two o'clock in the afternoon.
"Forget it, let him come up to me." Zhang Hao said.
Although it’s not working hours yet, it wouldn’t be nice to keep people waiting outside now that they’re here. I’m not too tired anyway, so I might as well meet them in advance.
"Okay, Prosecutor Zhang."
After Zhang Hao hung up the phone, he picked up the case file and waited at the office door. Soon An Bowen appeared in his sight.
Some messy hair, black-framed glasses, a thick beard, a plaid shirt, jeans, and sneakers.
To be honest, when I saw An Bowen for the first time, I really couldn't connect this young man with a criminal suspect suspected of war crimes. He was no different from an ordinary programmer.
When An Bowen saw Zhang Hao, he said somewhat nervously, "Hello, are you Prosecutor Zhang Hao?"
Zhang Hao was a little confused. How could such a dull and honest-looking man command those militants abroad?
There can't be any fucking misunderstanding here, right?
Shouldn't the person who can command the militants to fight be a heroic figure with a chilling aura and a majestic air?
"it's me!"
Zhang Hao nodded.
"Are you An Bowen?"
An Bowen was not surprised when he saw Zhang Hao's suspicious look, because he had seen it many times during this period.
"Yes."
Now that his identity was confirmed, Zhang Hao said, "Please follow me."
Zhang Hao took An Bowen to a small conference room and sat down. Then he said to An Bowen, "You don't have a lawyer? Do you need me to call the on-duty lawyer for you?"
On-duty lawyers are stationed by legal aid agencies in people's courts, detention centers, and procuratorates. Their main role is to provide legal aid to criminal suspects and criminal defendants who do not have lawyers.
"No need, I hired a lawyer, but he hasn't arrived yet. I came here early." An Bowen explained.
Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Okay, then do you want to wait until your lawyer arrives to talk to me, or can we start now?"
An Bowen actually knew that the main role of hiring a lawyer at the procuratorate stage was to review case files, apply for evidence, provide defense opinions, and then discuss with the prosecutor whether it was possible to not prosecute or to recommend a lighter sentence.
Now Zhang Hao wanted to ask himself questions, and it would be of little use if a lawyer was not present, so he said: "Prosecutor Zhang, if you have any questions, just ask directly."
"it is good."
Zhang Hao nodded, then turned on the law enforcement recorder and said to An Bowen, "An Bowen, you are now suspected of war crimes. Are you providing assistance to foreign militants?"
An Bowen admitted: "I admit it."
"Then please describe in detail the whole process of helping." Zhang Hao said.
An Bowen recounted what was recorded in the case file. He commanded more than 750 battles in three years and helped the militants swallow up more than tribes and territories.
Although Zhang Hao had already read the entire incident in the case file, he was still shocked when he heard An Bowen repeat it again.
Judging from this record, I'm afraid some college graduates from military academies would find it difficult to match it.
"Okay, if you think it's meaningless, you can sign this case record."
An Bowen signed his name without hesitation.
At this time, An Bowen's cell phone rang.
An Bowen answered the phone: "Okay, I understand."
Then he hung up the phone and said, "Prosecutor Zhang, my lawyers are outside the door. Can I go and get them in?"
"Of course no problem." Zhang Hao nodded.
An Bowen stood up and left the office, and Zhang Hao also stood up and left. Since An Bowen felt that there was no problem, he would prepare the confession and punishment letter and the sentencing recommendation, and wait for his lawyer to arrive and have him sign it.
After Zhang Hao prepared the confession and sentencing recommendation, he walked into the conference room.
Then he saw An Bowen sitting on a chair with two more people next to him. When he saw one of them, Zhang Hao's face showed surprise.
"Xianing?"
"Zhang Hao?"
Zhang Hao and Xia Ning's voices rang out one after another.
Although Xia Ning had known that Zhang Hao was a prosecutor for a long time, he didn't know that Zhang Hao was from the Municipal Procuratorate, so he was a little surprised to see Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao looked at Xia Ning and asked curiously, "Are you the lawyer hired by An Bowen?"
Xia Ning said a little embarrassedly: "I am just a trainee lawyer. Mr. An hired my master, Tang Xingliang. I just came here to learn. Why are you here?"
"I am in charge of the An Bowen case." Zhang Hao said.
Xia Ning was a little surprised. She originally thought that Zhang Hao was just an assistant prosecutor, but she didn't expect that he had become a formal prosecutor and could handle cases on his own.
Zhang Hao then looked at An Bowen and said, "Here is the confession and admission of guilt, and the sentencing recommendation. Take a look. If there are no problems, sign it!"
He then handed the confession and sentencing recommendation to An Bowen.
Before An Bowen could take it, Tang Xingliang got it first.
Zhang Hao didn't say anything about this. After all, this is what a lawyer does.
After Tang Xingliang took a look at the confession and sentencing recommendation, he put the things down and said to An Bowen: "Mr. An, please do not sign the confession and sentencing recommendation."
An Bowen looked at Tang Xingliang in confusion.
Zhang Hao looked at Tang Xingliang and said, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Hao looked at An Bowen with a playful look. In his previous life, he had been a prosecutor for nearly twenty years, handling thousands of cases, and had met at least eight hundred lawyers.
Some lawyers prevent suspects from signing confessions and sentencing recommendations in order to influence the thinking of case handlers, find breakthroughs, and persevere to the end to obtain the most favorable legal results for the clients.
But to be honest, he felt there was no room for defense in this case. After all, Tang Xingliang had already admitted that he had commanded the militants to fight.
Tang Xingliang said to Zhang Hao with confidence: "It's very simple. I don't think my client has committed a crime. Why should he sign a confession of guilt and punishment?"
