Hong Kong Film: Night Cop

Chapter 601 I won the bet with Sandy!

Li Fei knew that Sandy was a passionate lawyer, and that she would definitely take Lin Yueji's case after hearing about it.

Therefore, Li Fei, from Lin Yueji's perspective, slowly recounted the murder of Chen Qiang.

Sandy was initially somewhat dismissive, but gradually she began to think deeply. She unconsciously picked up a pen and took out her notebook, writing down the key points Li Fei had mentioned.

Brush brush!
Ten minutes had already passed, but Sandy didn't stop them. Instead, she listened even more attentively and even interrupted to ask a few questions.

After about twenty minutes, Li Fei finally finished speaking.

"Lin Yueji is such a pitiful woman, to have met such a scumbag."

Sandy slammed her laptop shut and cursed.

"So, I wonder if Attorney Sandy would like to take this case?" Li Fei asked.

Upon hearing this, Sandy fell into deep thought.

Chen Qiang is despicable, a scumbag and a beast.

But the fact that he was killed by Lin Yueji is undeniable.

Murder is a very serious crime.

The lawsuit was lost without even being fought.

If I were to take on this case, how could I fight it in a way that would help Lin Yueji?
First, it can be emphasized that the defendant's actions were unintentional, in order to minimize the extent of his subjective malice.

For example, it can be pointed out that the defendant did not have the premeditated or intentional intent to cause harm at the time of the act, but rather that the tragedy was caused by some sudden situation or accident.

Secondly, it is necessary to collect and organize relevant evidence to prove that the defendant's actions were unintentional.

This includes objective evidence such as the mechanism of injury, cause of death and process of death identification, audiovisual materials, and DNA, in order to eliminate reasonable doubt.

Third, mitigating circumstances such as the defendant showing remorse, actively compensating the victims for their losses, and being a first-time offender can be cited to reduce the punishment.

The court will take these factors into consideration when sentencing and may grant appropriate leniency.

Fourth, one should thoroughly understand the specific circumstances of the case, including the defendant's personal background and motives, in order to better defend them.

Legal aid organizations and lawyers should adhere to the principles of openness, fairness, and impartiality in safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of defendants.

Finally, by offering his defense, he hoped to garner sympathy from the jury for Lin Yueji's plight and thus receive a lighter sentence.

In a short time, Sandy immediately came up with these five points on how to handle Lin Yueji's case.

In the best-case scenario, the charge would be unintentional homicide, which would result in a lighter sentence, ranging from a minimum of three years to a maximum of seven years.

This was the best-case scenario she could imagine.

Sandy told Li Fei what she had in mind, and concluded by saying, "I can help Lin Yueji with her lawsuit, and I can even get the court to give her a lighter sentence, three years. What do you think?"

“Three years!” Li Fei smiled slightly; Sandy did have some ability.

I didn't mean to kill anyone!
Even the most famous barrister in Hong Kong could probably only achieve this level of skill.

However, this did not align with Li Feilai's objective; he wanted Lin Yueji to be acquitted.

“That’s right, three years. That’s the limit I can go to. If you agree, I can be Lin Yueji’s lawyer and go back to the police station with you so that Lin Yueji can sign a consent form,” Sandy said.

"Is there any way to get her acquitted?" Li Fei asked tentatively.

Upon hearing this, Sandy immediately stood up, pointed to the door, and said, "Officer Li, please find someone else."

After saying that, he sneered inwardly, "This is a murder case, how can he be released without charge?"

"Can't you do it?" Li Fei said quietly.

Snapped!
Sandy slammed his hand on the table and said, "Even if you bring in the best lawyer in the world, he can't get a murderer acquitted."

"What if I have a way to do it? What will you do then?" Li Fei looked up and stared directly at Sandy.

“If you can do that, I will forgive your past disrespect towards me,” Sandy said coldly.

“Attorney Sandy, if you follow my advice in the lawsuit and we lose, you can do whatever you want with me. But if I win, you…”

Li Fei drawled out his words, then reached out and touched his face, saying, "Just give me a kiss."

"Okay, I promise you." Sandy was furious after hearing this. This bastard actually wanted her to kiss him. But it was fine. Anyway, she was going to lose the case. Since he had delivered himself to her doorstep, she would teach him a lesson after she lost.

Seeing that Sandy agreed, Li Fei began to tell Sandy how to handle the lawsuit and how to get the court to find Lin Yueji not guilty.

Sandy was completely stunned after hearing this.

"You... it's a waste that you're not a lawyer."

Sandy said quietly.

She went over Li Fei's method in her mind. If she really did as he said, Lin Yueji might actually be released without charge.

His litigation skills are probably unparalleled in the world.

If successful, this case will likely become a textbook example, and may even be imitated by countless lawyers.

The lawyer in this case will likely cause a sensation throughout the legal community.

"You really want me to be Lin Yueji's lawyer?" Sandy said.

Aren't you going to answer?

"catch."

Sandy gritted her teeth and said.

She would regret missing such a great opportunity to become famous.

Sandy looked at Li Fei with complicated eyes, walked to his side, hesitated for a few seconds, kissed Li Fei on the cheek, then jumped away instantly, blushing and turning away.

"That counts as a win!" Li Fei smiled, it seems Sandy has good sportsmanship when it comes to gambling.

"you win."

Sandy wiped her lips and said coldly.

"Ha!" Li Fei laughed.

"Let's go, I want to see Lin Yueji."

Sandy tidied up the documents, picked up her bag, and said to Li Fei.

Li Fei didn't say anything and led the way out of Sandy's office.

Sandy followed Li Fei's car in his own car and arrived at the West Kowloon Police Station.

Li Fei asked Liang Xiaorou to arrange for Sandy to meet Lin Yueji.

After Liang Xiaorou took Sandy to meet Lin Yueji and watched the two sign the contract, Liang Xiaorou went to Li Fei's office.

"Why did you choose her to be Lin Yueji's lawyer?" Liang Xiaorou asked Li Fei.

"Why don't you ask her? She helped your aunt win the lawsuit," Li Fei said with a smile.

In Liang Xingzhong's case, Sandy helped Mrs. Liang win the lawsuit, preventing her from going to jail.

Logically speaking, Liang Xiaorou should thank her, but judging from her expression, she seemed to dislike her a little.

"She is capable, but what is your relationship with her?"

Upon hearing Liang Xiaorou's jealous words, Li Fei immediately understood.

It turns out that Liang Xiaorou didn't dislike Sandy; rather, she misunderstood that her relationship with Sandy was not platonic.

"She's jealous!"

Li Fei stepped forward, picked up Liang Xiaorou, sat her on a chair, and gently stroked her nose.

"You womanizer, you already have us, yet you're still fooling around outside." Liang Xiaorou rolled her eyes at Li Fei.

“You’re wronging me. There’s really nothing between me and Attorney Sandy. I just asked her for help,” Li Fei said.

“Lin Yueji is also a pitiful woman. I hope lawyer Sandy can help her and get the court to give her a lighter sentence,” Liang Xiaorou said.
