During criminal detention, no one is allowed to meet with the criminal suspect except the lawyer hired by him. If necessary, the case-handling organ may arrange for the victim to meet with the criminal suspect. However, if the victim applies for a meeting, he shall refuse. In most cases, it is impossible for a criminal suspect to meet the victim. During the investigation, only his defender or defense lawyer can meet the criminal suspect. If it is a major case involving national security or a major bribery case, the content that the lawyer wants to meet must be approved by the investigation department. Lawyers can directly meet the criminal suspect alone without the approval or consent of the investigators and without the presence of the investigators; The frequency and time for lawyers to meet with criminal suspects are not subject to the arrangement and restriction of investigators, and are completely decided by lawyers according to their own time. Because criminal suspects have the right to silence, it is better to meet with lawyers than with investigators; The first meeting between a lawyer and a criminal suspect is usually arranged by police investigators. The meeting place is generally an independent and closed room, and the investigators are not present, so recording or monitoring equipment cannot be used.
