Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!

Chapter 194 New Case! Legal Aid! [Seeking Monthly Tickets!!]

The Sun Quan case!?

Liu Xun's face suddenly went blank. He shook his head, hoping it was just a coincidence of names and not actually a case from last year.

But it's a pity.
He saw for certain that the case was the one he had been in charge of back then!
Even more so.
The names of both parties are thoughtfully displayed above.

[Defendant's Attorney: Xu Liang]

In an instant.

Liu Xun's expression froze. He stared blankly at the row of people, muttering to himself.

"A guiding case."

To be honest, no one would want to be featured in this newspaper!

but.
No one wanted to appear in this newspaper in this manner.

no way.

He lost!

He's the loser in this case, and a complete and utter loser at that!

The whole case started with Zheng Mei stabbing him twice right at the beginning. Before he could even react to what was happening, the case ended in a daze.

He was a lawyer for a victim's family member, facing Sun Quan, who had murdered three people.
They managed to get the other party sentenced to three years' imprisonment with a three-year reprieve!
Is this glory?

This is utterly disgraceful!
She was already very sad, and spent her days licking her wounds with Zhang Cheng on the balcony, but
"Wait, who made this choice?!"

Liu Xun immediately became anxious. He looked around and asked anxiously.

"A guiding case?"

"Who exactly made the selection? Is there no justice? Is there no law?!"

No one around said anything.

Seeing this, Liu Xun's expression grew increasingly grim as he contemplated being permanently fixed in this position.

Zhang Cheng looked at it carefully, and finally laughed heartily to the side.

"Attorney Liu has really made something of himself."

"Having your own guiding case studies by your thirties!"

"This is the first case in the entire Hanhai City!"

"He is indeed young and promising, Manager Sun. You'd better keep an eye on Attorney Liu, lest he be poached by some law firm."

Zhang Cheng chuckled, mocking the other party with unrestrained laughter.

He and the other party didn't get along to begin with, but after lying down, they became close friends.

Right now, the other party seems to have been stripped naked and nailed to a pillar of shame. How could Zhang Cheng possibly give up this opportunity?!
“This is the only lawyer in our firm whose case has been included in the Supreme People’s Court’s case database!” Zhang Cheng said with a smile.

only.
The people around him looked at each other in bewilderment.

Finally, Manager Sun said:

"Well, actually, it's not just one."

Not just one?
In an instant, Liu Xun and Zhang Cheng were stunned.

In other words, there are other people?

Just as the two were pondering, Qian Li, who had been reading the newspaper, suddenly exclaimed with delight:

"Old Zhang, Old Zhang!"

"Look, your name is still here!"

Does it even have its own name?
Zhang Cheng's smile froze.

He hurriedly got up and went to look ahead.

This discovery was significant. It came across as one of the newly published "reference cases" by the Supreme People's Court in a newspaper.
Zhang Cheng felt as if the sky had fallen!
Among those dozens of reference cases, the original 'Snail Case' was clearly present!
[Defendant's Attorney: Xu Liang]

Plaintiff's Attorney: Zhang Cheng

This case has ended with no criminal liability; it may serve as a reference for similar cases.

Looking at these individual words.

All of a sudden.

A memory he didn't want to recall flooded his mind, and Zhang Cheng became somewhat agitated.

"No way, why was this case selected?!"

In this case, Chen Dong murdered one person and was sentenced to death in the first instance, but the second instance changed the verdict to not be criminally responsible.
strictly speaking.

He is even more disgraceful than Liu Xun!

"And why did you make me public?"

Zhang Cheng blushed as he looked at the strange-looking crowd around him.

"They added my name without even asking my opinion!"

"I'm going to appeal! I'm going to send a lawyer's letter!!!"

appeal?

Who should we sue?

Sue the Supreme Court? Send a lawyer's letter to the Supreme Court? And then have it heard in the Supreme Court?

No one said anything.

Zhang Cheng and Liu Xun felt a chill run down their spines, a sensation that sent shivers down their spines.

But think about it carefully.
"At the very least, you've been included in the case study database, haven't you?"

Qian Li suddenly comforted her from the side.

"So many people want to get in but can't, so the fact that you two were able to get in shows that you're quite capable!"

That's what they say, but...
How can it be sad?

Zhang Cheng and Liu Xun's eyes were filled with sighs, and in the end, they could only grit their teeth and say:

"Who exactly chose this case?!"

"Who exactly chose this case?!"

at the same time.

The Intermediate People's Court of Hanhai City, in the conference room.

Zhao Yi looked at the person in front of him with a shocked expression on his face.

The person in front of him ignored all of that, simply smiling and speaking warmly:

"Congratulations, Judge Zhao! Of the five batches of cases issued this year, you were the presiding judge for two out of the four cases!"

"There's even one case that serves as a reference!"

"I believe Judge Zhao will be promoted in just a few days!"

Zhao Yi, however, did not take these words to heart at all.

His expression was strange, and his eyes seemed to hold a huge question mark.

Guiding cases?
Reference cases?
You actually got selected!
In fact, the case they handled in Sunzhou was also directly selected!

Logically speaking, he should indeed be selected.

But the problem is.
“Guiding cases are reviewed by all lawyers, in addition to judges.”

"So here's the question: in these kinds of cases, do the lawyers imitate the judges, or the lawyers in the case?"

The more Zhao Yi thought about it, the more strange and awkward it seemed.

Naturally, I should study law.

The problem lies with the lawyers in these cases.
"That guy really doesn't use any normal methods at all; he's all just skirting the line!"

"It's perfectly clear to anyone with eyes that Sun Quan and Zheng Mei signed the letter of understanding."

"The Jinjiang Hotel corpse-falling case is even more significant." "Illegal investigation of personal identity information—if someone were to sue, they could be temporarily detained for violating personal privacy."

"The least serious violation is a surprise inspection based on evidence."

As Zhao Yi spoke, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he looked at the third guiding case.

"even."

"Sunzhou is even more lawless!"

He knew about Sun Zhou's situation.

Don't say anything else.

Just corpses.

During the investigation, Xu Liang suddenly used the body of Zhao Shui's son as evidence to file a case.

During that period, the police did not lose Sun Jin's body, nor did they provide Xu Liang with an autopsy report.

Then the problem is coming.

other side
How could they conclude that Zhao Shui's son and Sun Jin died in the same way without any evidence?!
no one knows.

But based on Zhao Yi's understanding of Xu Liang, this guy...
"He must have secretly gone to the funeral home and peeked at the bodies, which is why he dared to draw conclusions based on the other corpses!"

Zhao Yi's lips twitched as he looked at the third guiding case.

They even dared to peek at police corpses.
Even the so-called enthusiastic residents from other places are complete utter nonsense!
"Old Li, I bet you, he definitely anticipated that someone was going to steal the corpse!"

"But they showed no intention of calling the police; instead, they were thinking of double-crossing the stolen body!"

Zhao Yi said this.

Although no one knows the truth, he dares to swear on his professional ethics that Xu Liang must have done it!
What are lawyers who look at case studies supposed to learn from this?
Do you want to learn how to be a law-breaking madman?

Hear the words.

Judge Li, standing before him, was also somewhat embarrassed.

However, he still said, "But at least, Lao Zhao, you deserve a lot of credit."

"Two guiding cases, and one for reference."

"Your performance combined is more than the entire First Criminal Division—no, even more than the entire court!"

Zhao Yi's eye twitched.

That's because they took all the blame themselves.
He cursed under his breath.

He then said nothing more.

Instead, he suddenly spoke:

What's the situation with that legal aid?

Upon hearing this, Judge Li was momentarily stunned.

Then it dawned on me that the topic was no longer a guiding case.

"Still no one is answering."

Judge Li shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi frowned.

Not so long ago.

Hanhai City received a legal aid request from another region.

Someone died in the case!

But it's not a criminal case.
The condition of the body was also very strange, according to information from a court in another region.
This is a suicide!
The problem is that there are other suspected murderers.
"The case has been delayed for at least a month, hasn't it?" Zhao Yi said hesitantly.

Judge Li nodded.

The family in this case had no money, the case was not well-known, and the defendant was so special that even the authorities dared not touch him.
So for a whole month, no lawyer took the case at all.

Left with no other choice, they had to apply for legal aid from the judicial authorities.

Unfortunately, no one took the case. If this continued, they would have to force a lawyer to take it on.

"How is Xu Liang?"

"How about trying to communicate with someone from the Bar Association?"

Zhao Yi suddenly asked.

He didn't intend to force them, after all, what if they were dissatisfied and caused some trouble in Hanhai City if he forced them?
"Will he accept? He doesn't have any money." Judge Li paused, hesitating.

"Hehe, just because others can't doesn't mean he can't."

"Legal aid usually costs several hundred or several thousand yuan, whereas before..."

Zhao Yi smiled as he thought of the case of the body falling from the ground.

"He takes cases for free!"

Although he was very angry about Xu Liang's methods.

However, he must admit that he has complete faith in the other party's abilities and the outcome of the case!
Furthermore.

"Try it."

Judge Li nodded.

A case can't be handled without a lawyer; otherwise, you can't even get to the courtroom!

"I'll contact the Bar Association."

"Old Zhao, you should go to the meeting. The higher-ups want the lower courts to study the case."

Zhao Yi's lips twitched, but he still nodded.

Learn it.

Go ahead and study!
Learning has no end!
Half past one in the afternoon.

Hongfu District, Hanhai City.

In a law firm with a conscience.

Xu Liang was originally processing the lawyer's licenses for his juniors.

He was just about to go to the bar association to check if he met the professional standards, but...
"Squeak~!"

When he opened the door.

A familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of Xu Liang, startling him.

The other party is...
Staff members of the Bar Association!?

"Hey, speak of the devil and he appears! I was just thinking of going to the association."

Xu Liang smiled.

The man in front of her chuckled and then began to talk about serious matters.

"Attorney Xu, the association has a very tricky legal aid case, and someone has specifically requested your services. What do you think?"

Legal aid?

Xu Liang was taken aback, his brows furrowed, and he said:

"Very tricky?"

How tricky is it!?

The man pondered for a moment before speaking, "The victim's life and death were both shrouded in mystery, making it impossible to prosecute the defendant. In the past, some people have taken on the cases, but they all terminated their engagements shortly afterward."

From this perspective...
This is really quite tricky!
Xu Liang frowned, but he didn't ask why legal aid had approached him.

According to regulations, he is obligated to receive legal aid.

However, based solely on the other party's description of this case...
Under what circumstances would someone make such a comment?!
Xu Liang pondered for a moment, then finally raised his head, looked at the other person, and said:

"tell me the story."
