The second court session is scheduled for a week later. As a lawyer, it is very important to keep one's peace of mind free from outside interference. On the day of the court session, after Sobchak had breakfast at home according to his usual habit, he got into his car and went to the court. His driver and assistant had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

Sobchak didn't speak all the way, he just silently flipped through the file in the car, anticipating in his mind where his opponent would launch a counterattack against him. The atmosphere in the car was very quiet, it seemed that there were only the sound of breathing and the low roar of the car engine.

When Sobchak's special car drove to Pushkin Avenue, something unexpected happened. Sobchak's car was stopped by the traffic police. They politely raised their hands and saluted, and then let Sobchak's car The driver turned off the engine and then asked everyone in the car to get out of the car.

"I'm sorry, someone reported that your car was suspected of being involved in a traffic accident. Please go back with me to assist in the investigation?" The traffic policeman's eyes flickered, but he still explained the reason for being stopped to Sobchak and others.

"Traffic hit and run, when did it happen?" Sobchak thought the driver had caused trouble behind his back and asked the driver angrily.

"Mr. Sobchak, I swear to God, I never hit and run. I have been staying at home for the past few days, and the car has been parked in the garage of the office." Sobchak's driver also looked confused, Without thinking twice, he denied the police charges against him.

"Mr. Police, did you make a mistake? How could we hit and run?" Sobchak's assistant also asked.

"Whether there is a hit-and-run is not up to you. We will take you back for investigation. We will let you go only after the investigation is over and it proves that you are innocent!" the police said forcefully.

At this moment, Sobchak has basically understood what is going on. He has been thinking about this case for the past few days. He knows in his heart that his opponent is not just the judges and prosecutors in the court, but The forces standing behind these people. Will these forces allow themselves to fish Churbanov out of prison so easily? Although Sobchak was worried, he never expected that the other party would play cards unreasonably outside the court. Calm down, you must calm down.

"Mr. Police, I am a lawyer, and I have to appear in court today to defend my client! Can I ask the assistant and the driver to go back with you first? After the trial is over, I will report to the Internal Affairs Bureau!" Sorbu Chuck stopped the excited driver and assistant arguing with the police, and asked with a pleasant face.

"Mr. Sobchak, do you think we will believe that you will come back? What if you run away? I think you should go with us obediently. Please rest assured that as long as we investigate, you are indeed wronged.

I will let you go immediately! "The police are no longer putting on airs. He can hear that Sobchak has seen through their tricks. So there is no point in continuing to act. Smart people know what to do. It is reasonable and legal. They have the right to ask the suspect to go back for 48 hours of interrogation. Even if Sobchak is released in the future, Sobchak and the others will not be able to find any faults. At most, the police will issue them an apology Just a statement of apology.

"Okay, Mr. Police. I'll go back with you, but do I have the right to make a phone call with my lawyer? This is the basic right of a criminal suspect under the law!" Sobchak said in an unquestionable tone.

"Of course, you can fight after we return to the Internal Affairs Bureau!" The police were naturally very happy to hear that Sobchak was willing to go back with them, which saved a lot of trouble. The other party was an authoritative scholar in the legal field of the Soviet Union, and the police of the Internal Affairs Bureau had to be careful when dealing with him. If he was caught, he would be unlucky, and the higher-ups would never admit it.

"Mr. Police, I have a phone in my car. I want to call my lawyer here before I leave with you. Otherwise, if I lose contact like this, you won't be able to explain to the media, right?" Sob What Chuck said was reasonable, and the police didn't stop him too much in this regard. It was just a phone call anyway. So Sobchak returned to the car, picked up the phone, and dialed the number of his student Igor. Igor is a deputy doctor trained by Sobchak and is well-known in the legal circle of Moscow for so many years. The two have always maintained a good personal relationship.

Sobchak didn't have to wait long before the call was connected. Sobchak took this opportunity and said to Igor on the phone: "Igor, go to the court and help me represent Churbanov's case, I was trapped by someone's design!"

As soon as Sobchak finished speaking, his receiver was snatched. The phone was hung up soon, and Sobchak was unceremoniously grabbed out of the car, and was taken into the police car together with his assistant and driver.

Igor on the phone was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized what was going on. He quickly picked up his coat and briefcase and ran out. Igor drove the car to the court against time, but what he didn't expect was that he was stopped by the bailiff outside the court. No matter what Igor said, the bailiff just wouldn't let him in, seeing that the trial time was getting more and more urgent. Igor tore off a page from his notebook and started drafting an application for adjournment, but when he submitted the application to the court, the court decided that Igor was not Churbanov’s attorney In the name, this application is rejected.

...

When Chulbanov was brought into the court, he found that Sobchak, who was supposed to be on the defense bench, did not show up, not even his assistant. This made Churbanov nervous immediately.

The judge first said to Chulbanov: "Criminal suspect Churbanov, your attorney is absent without reason. For the sake of fairness, the court will assign you a lawyer..."

"No, I refuse! Where did you get Sobchak? I refuse to change lawyers..." Churbanov refused without thinking.

"Churbanov, I want to warn you that if you don't have a lawyer, you will have to defend yourself!" said the judge in a slightly threatening tone.

"I would rather defend myself than the lawyer you didn't arrange for me. You are all in the same group. I demand a fair trial..."
