under the vortex

Chapter 120

Before Wu Peng came, he had actually guessed why Uncle Jia was looking for him, and it was nothing more than to ask Lawyer Liu to help Jia Wenjun as a defense lawyer.

He thought that people who were about to face murder charges would be panicked and trembling, but Jia Wenjun in front of him remained calm as usual. She frankly stated the charges she would face, and she hadn't even told him about her being on the boat until now.

If she was wronged, why didn't she ask him to find a way to exonerate her as soon as she came up?Could it be that it was useless to talk to him as a trainee lawyer?But if someone is wronged, most people don't care whether they are trainee lawyers or not, and they will call for injustice when they come up.

If she killed the man, the evidence is conclusive, since she is so indifferent to life and death, why did she go to the lawyer in an unnecessary way?
Wu Peng knows that Lawyer Liu has a lot of cases, and for such cases with extremely small chances of winning, there is a high probability that he will not accept them.
He came over to take Uncle Jia to see Liu Lu, which was nothing more than going through the motions, and the case would most likely be pushed to the hands of other unknown lawyers in the law firm.

Although he could predict the direction of the matter, Wu Peng still became interested in this Jia Wenjun.

He seldom saw such a calm person, he was puzzled by her, and even felt a little curious about her.

What kind of person is the woman in front of me?

Jia's father and Jia's mother also looked at Wu Peng when they heard their daughter's question.

Although he doesn't like the profession of lawyers, Wu Peng is familiar with the scope of his work: "During the investigation of criminal cases, criminal suspects are not allowed to see their relatives. But defense lawyers can meet and communicate with criminal suspects in custody. In the initial stage of detention, because the evidence is not sufficient, the investigation unit will frequently interrogate the suspect during this period, which will put pressure on the suspect. At this time, the defense lawyer can sort out the case information for the suspect, communicate with the case handling unit and understand the case. Let the suspect know the progress of the case."

What Wu Peng said was exactly what Jia Wenjun wanted.She needs to keep abreast of the progress of the case in order to be aware of it.

She is not afraid of those difficulties, and when soldiers come to cover her up, she can find ways to find evidence for herself.She was afraid that she would be directly convicted without knowing what was going on.

Seeing that Jia Wenjun nodded in approval, Wu Peng continued: "The defense lawyer will also inform the suspect of his legal interests, and guide the suspect on how to get along with the case-handling unit. For example, the suspect has checked the transcript and has the right to change the content of the transcript and refuse to sign. right."

Jia Wenjun suddenly said: "If they ask me some irrelevant questions, can I refuse to answer?"

"Suspects have the right to refuse to answer questions that are not relevant to the case."

"They asked me about Lin Yang, is it related to this case or not?"

"Lin Yang is the husband of the missing person Zhao Di, and he had an emotional relationship with you before. Asking about him is not irrelevant. But if you don't want to answer, or don't know how to answer, you can entrust a defense lawyer to answer for you .”

"In addition, defense lawyers can also apply for bail pending trial for suspects. In short, defense lawyers have a communication platform with relevant agencies such as public security, procuratorate, and law, and can protect the legitimate rights and interests of the parties to the maximum extent. Lawyers have absolute trust, and only when lawyers know all the facts can they obtain the most favorable results for their clients.”

Jia's father and Jia's mother have lived to this age, but they have never encountered such a situation, and now they are in a hurry. After listening to Wu Peng, Jia's father said: "Xiao Wu, I asked my friends, and they all said that your law firm Attorney Liu Ping is very good at defending, so I would like to ask you to recommend it."

"Okay, I'll talk to Liu Lu now and make an appointment for you to meet up."

"Okay, the sooner the better."

Wu Peng left the ward and called to tell his boss about it.

Liu Lu at the other end asked him about the general situation of the case, and Wu Peng also told him what he knew.

Liu Lu paused: "You recommended me to them?"

"No, the client wants to contact you and ask me to introduce you."

"In this way, you tell them that the chance of winning this case is not high, and my lawyer's fee is not low. Even if I accept it, let them not have too much hope." After a pause, Liu Lv said again: "You and them If you know each other, then you tell them that the results are almost the same, let them find another lawyer to find out, and it will be cheaper to find someone else."

For Liu Lu, time is precious, and he doesn't want to waste it on hopeless things.

During Wu Peng's internship under him, he knew his temper well, so he didn't answer what he said.

"Alright Liu Lu, I'll tell them later."

Liu Lu on the other end said before hanging up the phone: "Since your grandfather is fine, he can go to work normally today, right?"

Wu Peng glanced at the electronic watch in his hand: "Liu Lu, it's just over an hour before get off work, do I still need to go to work today?"

"You can still work overtime after get off work. Don't delay finding information for me."

Wu Peng was speechless: "Boss, is there overtime pay for overtime work?"

"Working overtime is a blessing, don't you know?"

"and then?"

"Then the good man will live a safe life."

Wu Peng hehe: "Goodbye."

"Your boy must prepare the materials I want before tomorrow."

"Please check your mailbox first, I sent it to you an hour ago."

Liu Lu opened the mailbox, and sure enough, he saw the email Wu Peng sent before. He opened it and said, "Then you will work overtime to prepare the materials for the next case."

Wu Peng: "..."

Mr. Wang has a friendship with Liu Lu. It was because of Liu Lu's relationship that Wu Peng was able to join him. Now Wu Peng works under him. Although Liu Lu takes good care of him, Wu Peng is not lazy at all. After all, he didn't want the old man to hear about his work troubles from Liu Lu.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Peng knew that the whole family was waiting for him to go in. He took a deep breath, thought about several excuses, and finally felt that it was not good. They will do.

After thinking about it, he opened the door and went in. Except for Jia Wenjun who couldn't stand up, Jia's father and mother immediately stood up, looking expectant: "Xiaowu, when is that lawyer Liu free?"

Just as Wu Peng was about to speak, the phone rang again, and it was Liu Lu calling.

He asked a few people to wait, and walked out quickly to answer the phone.

"Xiao Wu, is the person who asked you to ask me out just now surnamed Jia?"

"correct."

Liu Lu sighed secretly: "Forget it, you tell them, I'll take this case."

"Ah? Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Wu Peng didn't understand.

"A friend asked me to help. I owed favors before, and now I should pay them back. But you should tell them clearly that the chances of winning this case are not high, so they should not have too much hope."
