If you were asked to file a lawsuit, how come you were not found guilty?

Chapter 135 I need your judge to give me a lighter sentence for something I haven’t done?

"You are?"

When Hu Jitu was brought over, no one explained anything to him. At this time, the whole person was a little at a loss.

The last time I met someone was more than ten years ago, right?
Hujitu, who has never been in prison, does not even have the opportunity for ordinary criminals to see their relatives and friends occasionally.

18 years ago, Hu Jitu was only 36 years old, so he should be [-] years old this year.

The 36-year-old man was sitting there with his eyes slightly lowered, his voice was inaudible, and there was not even a hint of black in his almost flat body. His whole person exuded an aura of twilight from the inside out.

If you don't look at the face that is not yet old, Hu Jitu even looks more like a dying person than his parents.

Although before today, these four words fit him perfectly.

"I am Ren Zhen, he is Chang Jiahang, and we are the lawyers your parents found for you."

After hearing the identity of their lawyer, Hu Jitu didn't have much reaction. On the contrary, when he heard the word "parents", his eyes became more angry.

"My parents? The lawyer they found for me?"

Hu Jitu replied very slowly, and the speed of speaking was also very slow, more like spitting out word by word.

"That's right, your parents, Mr. Hu Tianming and Ms. Zhao Yanhong, please ask us to be your defense lawyers."

Ren Zhen bit the names "Hu Tianming" and "Zhao Yanhong" very seriously, and he was observing Hu Jitu's reaction.

He has never met the client who has been in the detention center for 18 years, and is not sure what Hujitu's current mental state is.

It is different from prison. If you are an ordinary criminal, after being imprisoned in prison, although you have lost your freedom and your daily life will be boring, in general, you will still interact with people in prison.

But the detention center is different. To a certain extent, life in the detention center is much more difficult than in prison.

What's more, after staying there for 18 years, Ren Zhen even thought about the worst case scenario. If Hu Jitu really showed signs of mental abnormality, there might be other workarounds.

Hu Tianming. Zhao Yanhong.
Hearing these two names, Hu Jitu looked up at Ren Zhen and then at Chang Jiahang, and was stunned for a long time.

Just when Ren Zhen couldn't help but want to speak again, Hu Jitu burst into tears.

"Mom and Dad, I really deserve to die!"

"My son is not filial!"

"Why do you still care what I do? Just let me die!"

"I'm just an idiot, I deserve to die! I deserve to die!"

Hu Jitu burst into tears, causing someone not far away to take a look and then put their head back.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with him mentally, but he has not interacted with others for many years, so his reaction and speech are a little slower.

Ren Zhen felt a little calmer.

After crying for seven or eight minutes, Hu Jitu stopped talking nonsense and just kept sobbing.

After sniffing hard, Hu Jitu lowered his head, pressed his sleeves a few times, raised his head, and finally spoke to Ren Zhen for the first time:
"Did you just say you were lawyers?"

"Correct."

Ren Zhen nodded: "Your case has now begun the second trial, and it should be heard in the High Court of Province A. At that time, the two of us will defend you."

"defend."

Hu Jitu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This kind of thing was done by a lawyer 18 years ago. What was the result?
He said that I was young and it was my first time to do such a thing, so he asked the judge to give him a lighter sentence? "

Suddenly something fierce appeared on Hu Jitu's face: "I'm so fucking stupid! Do I need a judge to give me a lighter sentence for something I haven't done?"

The fierce look on his face made Chang Jiahang tremble.

Such an expression is not like what a normal person would show.

"He thinks you are guilty, so he defends you as a minor offender, but I am different."

Ren Zhen's heart that had just been relieved was rising again, with a calm expression on his face: "I think you are innocent." "You think I am not guilty?"

Hu Jitu was stunned for a moment and suddenly became discouraged: "What's the use? I'm almost dead, is there any point in all this?"

"Of course there is!"

Ren Zhen said categorically: "Even if you don't believe in us, you still have to believe in your parents.

Your parents definitely didn't ask us to come here to give you hope and then make you despair again! "

In this case, it is very amateurish for a lawyer.

Let the client trust his family instead of the lawyer?
In the past, Chang Jiahang would have definitely thought that this was something only a rookie would say.

But during this time with Ren Zhen, he has grown a lot, and he knows that in different situations and with different people, he needs to choose different conversation strategies.

Just like now, Hu Jitu has clearly shown his distrust of lawyers and his disdain for judges. This is obviously a bad and even dangerous signal.

But his behavior when mentioning Zhao Yanhong and his wife shows that he has a deep emotional dependence on his parents.

Therefore, using his parents to break Hu Jitu's rejection of lawyers is definitely the best choice at the moment.

In fact, there is no better way.

After all, Hu Jitu has already accepted the reality that he is about to die. Apart from emotionally attacking, what else can shake his guard?

"Even if there is a second trial, will I survive?"

Hu Jitu seemed to be asking Ren and Zhen, as well as himself.

"The result is not what we have to consider, we just do everything we can."

Ren Zhen took out his notebook and knew it was almost time to start: "At least in the second instance court, you can see Hu Tianming and Zhao Yanhong."

Hu Jitu's eyes lit up.

"If the court doesn't go well, it might take several court sessions, so you can see them a few more times."

Hu Jitu couldn't wait anymore: "Then how can we make the court session not go smoothly?"

Chang Jiahang was speechless. Is this the point?

"Then it depends on how much information I can get from you."

Ren Zhen smiled and didn't care about this outrageous question: "Then can I start asking?"

"go ahead!"

Although Hu Jitu was still looking at the ground subconsciously, his body straightened up slightly.

"First of all, the first question is, the victim Yang Meizhi was found in the women's toilet outside the cigarette factory on X month X, 20XX. Did you know her before?"

Before Ren Zhen could finish asking, Hu Jitu had already nodded: "Of course we know each other. We are from the same village. Although we live far away, she is also a worker in a cigarette factory. We often see each other on the way to work and we are familiar with each other."

Ren Zhen nodded.

He already knew this information from Zhao Yanhong and Yan Feng, but it was not mentioned in the interrogation transcripts and court trial transcripts in 18, which was somewhat strange.

After all, generally speaking, law enforcement agencies and courts will investigate the relationship between the criminal and the victim to find clues and deduce the motive of the crime.

In that era when there was not much surveillance and technology was not very developed, a lot of basic information was something they would definitely investigate when handling a case.

Could it be that Hujitu "confessed" too quickly and they didn't even bother to ask such questions?
Ren Zhen shook his head and put the problem aside for the time being.

"I want to know first, where did you get the information about the case you confessed to the law enforcement agencies?"

Ren Zhen asked the question that had been bothering him since the first day.
