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

Chapter 231 Black Market! Smuggled Drugs! [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]

A lawyer can be ethical, but often has a poor win rate, and over time may end up starving to death.

At this point, it would be wrong to abandon one's so-called conscience.
Then the win rate and the money earned will snowball!

Blue Shield Law Firm made its fortune this way, successively acquiring several smaller law firms, intercepting their deals and using off-site methods to transform itself into an industry star, attracting countless cases and other top lawyers to join.

Ultimately, Blue Shield became the dominant force in the entire Qingshi City, monopolizing all high-cost cases, leaving other law firms angry but unable to speak out!

For the past ten years, they had been running rampant and domineering. Now, just as they were preparing to expand beyond the province, they ran into Xu Liang, who didn't know what was good for him.
"Chen Liang".

Chai Shirong suddenly spoke, his brows furrowed, already having some thoughts in mind.

Chen Liang, who was still lost in thought about his disappearance as a top lawyer, heard the noise and subconsciously turned his head to look.

"I'm here."

Chai Shirong said, "Go and take over Zhao Hailong's defense attorney right now."

"So that things don't get complicated and we don't end up not getting a single bite of meat!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Liang's lips moved, and a struggle flashed in his eyes.

Zhao Hailong, Zhang Yong, and others will be arrested by Sun Chuan of Jiangcheng and will soon be handed over to Qingshi City.

There was no other reason than that the case was too serious, and the first instance trial had to be handled by the intermediate court, while Jiangcheng only had a grassroots court. According to the law, it had to be transferred to Qingshi City.

corresponding.

Blue Shield can accept the other party's request simply by being in Bluestone City!

Can.
Are they really going to take on Zhao Hailong's defense? Indeed, public opinion might be stronger than the plaintiff's, but it's mostly negative and positive, and Chen Liang is truly unwilling to accept it.

Before he could speak, the other lawyers in the law firm next to him immediately erupted in a commotion.

"Director Chai, you're really letting Attorney Chen handle the defense?!"

Someone said in surprise, then paused, and then changed the subject.

"Is it because they couldn't agree on a price with Qi Tao? Or is there some other reason?"

"It was Xu Liang, the guy who handled the civil case to criminal case transfer, who stole the job."

Chen Liang spoke first, his hands clenched tightly as he spoke, his tone becoming more forceful, clearly carrying a strong emotion, and he said in a muffled voice:
"I don't know what kind of spell they cast on Qi Tao, but he was willing to forgo the law firm's offer to sign with them."

"That conscience-building agency in Hanhai City is run by him!"

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned.

With clients robbed, the law firm suffers a devastating loss of future prospects. No wonder Chai Shirong wants them to target law firms with a conscience.
Thinking of this, the expressions of the people around him gradually turned unfriendly.

This case has great strategic value. If it can be brought out of Lanshan Province, the net worth of everyone here will double!
Xu Liang taking it away was tantamount to robbing him!
As for these, they were just plans, not actual implementations, so there was no loss whatsoever.
For a shrewd person

Not making a profit is a loss!
"Attorney Dong, take Chen Liang to meet the defense attorney."

Chai Shirong suddenly opened his eyes. He sat in the chair and began to give instructions to the people around him.

"The defense should try its best to demonstrate its strength!"

He has made up his mind.

We have to take a piece of flesh from Xu Liang!
Even if it's a case of being black and red, working as a defense lawyer, defending a group of executioners who harvest and mutilate flesh, he will still swallow it whole!

It's like a rotten toad crawling on your foot; you have to feel disgusted no matter what!
"Yes."

The man named Attorney Dong nodded, immediately understanding, but...
He paused abruptly, then changed the subject, saying:

"But... Director Chai, what about your case?"

Before this, he assisted Chai Shirong in handling cases. If he leaves the team now to assist Chen Liang in handling cases, what about Chai Shirong?
Chai Shirong waved his hand.

He currently has a case on his hands; otherwise, Chen Liang wouldn't have been chosen to defend Zhao Hailong!

And this case
"It's alright. The evidence chain in the hospital case is very clear. I don't need too many people. You and Chen Liang can go ahead and get busy."

Hear the words.

Attorney Dong stopped insisting and turned to take Chen Liang to make a defense appointment.

Chen Liang's lips twitched for a moment, but despite his reluctance, he could only carry out the arrangements. In the end, he sighed and followed.

The lawyers gradually dispersed from the office lobby.

Chai Shirong stood up, slowly left everyone's workstations, and turned to walk into his private office.

His office is very large, with workstations and reception areas.

Chai Shirong sat at his desk, staring at the computer screen. After a long pause, he finally reached down.

"Hey!"

The drawer was pulled open.

A power of attorney appeared before me, and the client listed on it was...
'Juxing Pharmaceutical, Qingshi Tianshan Hospital'

He stared at the case file, his eyes wide with disbelief at the number '3000000'.

Without a doubt, this is a commission contract worth three million.
This is a criminal case with attached civil litigation, and excluding financial cases, it is one of the largest cases handled by Blue Shield Law Firm.
From a planning perspective.

Once Qi Tao signs a contract with them, countless similar cases will come to the law firm in the future!

Unfortunately, it was snatched away by a small law firm.

"Heh, finished dealing with the cases at hand."

Chai Shirong's eyes narrowed, and he recalled Xu Liang's appearance at Qi Tao's house. He immediately revealed a cold smile.

The legal profession is a case of big fish eating small fish, and small fish eating shrimp.

The other person could have just eaten some shrimp; why did they have to try and steal my food?
"There's plenty of time to play with you slowly."

"This case involves a direct raid on Blue Shield Law Firm!"

"It takes a long time for major law firms to mobilize. If we don't inflict a heavy blow in a short time, it will be very troublesome to face retaliation later!"

On the highway.

Xu Liang drove calmly, explaining to Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu behind him.

The law firm has now become enemies with Chai Shirong.

On paper, the other party completely overwhelms the firm; if they have any intention to target us, the law firm will be unable to withstand it.

Putting aside everything else, just the fact that the other side mobilized a bunch of lawyers to compete with them for the case, or even attempted to disrupt the trial.
That law firm will eventually go bankrupt!

But the good thing is.
"Having a large number of people is an advantage, but it's also a burden. It takes a lot of time to complete the work at hand if you want to mobilize them!"

As he spoke, Xu Liang turned the steering wheel and drove the car off the highway.

Yang Ruoxi, who seemed lost in thought, subconsciously looked up at the road sign behind her.

[800 meters ahead, Qingshi City]

The car continued heading towards Qingshi City. In the blink of an eye, Xu Liang paid the fare, drove out of the service area, and entered the jurisdiction of Qingshi City!

The three of them did not return to Hanhai City, but came directly to Qingshi City!
There are two main reasons.

First, Xu Liang is about to hand over Qi Tao's case to Wang Feiyu, who is scheduled to hold the first trial in Qingshi City.

Second, the case entrusted by the client, Feng Nan, took place in Qingshi City, and the events and people involved in the case were all in this place!

Even if he returns to Jiangcheng, he will have to come back to Qingshi City again in a few tens of minutes!

Therefore, Xu Liang simply had the other party rent a car, then drove Feng Nan to Qingshi City to investigate the basic information of the case, and then wait for them to meet up with him.

Not long after.

The view outside the car window gradually became clearer as the light faded and the car slowed down.

until
"Squeak~"

The car was parked in front of a hospital.

Xu Liang opened the car door, got out, and looked up at the magnificent hospital in front of him.

The hospital is about nine stories high and consists of four interconnected buildings forming a square shape. Silent figures wearing masks come and go at the entrance, each with hurried steps.

A faint smell of disinfectant wafted in the air.

Xu Liang's eyes twitched as he stared at the words on the top of the hospital sign, and he murmured them unconsciously.

Qingshi City Tianshan Hospital

That's right, the magnificent hospital in front of us is Tianshan Hospital, exactly the same as the client listed in Chai Shirong's report!
It is not a high-level hospital, located in the Tianshan District of Qingshi City, and is a private hospital controlled by other companies.

Vaguely.

At the main entrance of the hospital, the figure wearing a mask who had been pacing back and forth seemed to notice something, paused slightly, and then walked towards Xu Liang.

When they were only a few meters apart, Xu Liang turned his gaze away from the sign and onto the man.

"Senior, we've learned almost everything!"

The person who came was Wang Feiyu. At this moment, he walked to Xu Liang's side and said in a low voice.

He arrived in Qingshi City half an hour earlier than Xu Liang. By then, he had memorized the most basic information about the case and could explain anything that wasn't too complicated.

Then he looked at Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu, "Secretary Yang, Assistant Su"

The two nodded.

Xu Liang didn't rush to speak. He slightly turned his body to the side, glancing past Wang Feiyu and looking behind him.

I saw.

Where Wang Feiyu had originally stood, there were now more than a dozen gaunt figures wearing masks.

He was looking at Xu Liang with longing eyes.

They became increasingly uneasy when they realized that Xu Liang had noticed them.

Seeing this, Xu Liang withdrew his gaze and turned it back to Wang Feiyu in front of him.

"Please provide some basic information about the case."

"it is good."

Wang Feiyu nodded, pondered for a moment, and then began to speak eloquently.

"The case I've been entrusted with is a criminal defense case. There are three defendants: Feng Nan's deceased husband, and two others: Father Kong Jian and Wu Fang."

"The two, along with Feng Nan's husband, were involved in smuggling, and Sun Shang was involved in the smuggling of generic drugs."

“Sun Shang died half a month ago, and two days later Kong Jian and Wu Fang were arrested by local police following a tip from customs.”

"The client was Feng Nan, but the fee was 500,000 yuan raised by more than 70 patients in the patient support group."

The main request from the client at present is...

As he spoke, Wang Feiyu paused, as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest, and said heavily:
"Get Kong Jian and Wu Fang out here as soon as possible!"

Smuggling counterfeit drugs
No, it should be generic drugs!

Xu Liang frowned, feeling a bit troubled. After thinking for a moment, he said again:
"How long does 'short-term' mean?"

Wang Feiyu sighed, as if his spirit was being released with the sigh, and shook his head, saying, "Six months!"

Half a year!?
To be honest, when Wang Feiyu first heard this request, his first instinct was that it was impossible!
why?
Because of this kind of extremely protracted case, not to mention whether the sentence will exceed six months, the trial stage alone, with the court opening and recess constantly repeating, cannot be done in six months!
Add in the penalties, and it becomes an almost impossible task!

If we set aside the emotional aspects of the case and focus solely on the legal fees, 500,000 is really too low!
but.
"That's all they could scrape together."

"Furthermore, if it exceeds six months..."

As he spoke, Wang Feiyu paused, gestured with his eyes to the people behind him, and said nothing more, but his meaning was already very clear.

If it exceeds six months
The client will most likely die from the illness.

These people are all from a patient support group!
The reason they wanted Kong Jian and Wu Fang to come out was because they didn't want to lose their chance to live!

Once the two are released, they will inevitably participate in the crime again, and they will still be able to get their medication.
Even if they are criminals, barely surviving, and have no dignity in the eyes of others, they still want to live!
Xu Liang paused, then subconsciously glanced at the uneasy people at the hospital entrance.

"Don't they know that even if the two detainees are released, they will be under strict surveillance?" Xu Liang added.

He doesn't like making money through dishonest means.

Five hundred thousand should be all the assets of the seventy people.

Even if he performed like a god and managed to get Kong Jian and Wu Fang out of the police's eyes, they still wouldn't be able to continue smuggling generic drugs.

If the operation hasn't even started yet and the person gets arrested, what's the difference between that 500,000 yuan and throwing it down the drain?
"I told you, but it was no use."

Wang Feiyu sighed deeply.

"However, it's most likely due to trust issues on the smuggling route."

“After the person on trial is released, he only needs to build trust with the others on the smuggling route, and then the others can also carry out smuggling.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang nodded.

If that's the case, then in the eyes of the client, it is indeed necessary to bail out the two of them.

In just six months
This is even a legitimate request, not a deliberate attempt to make things difficult!

After all, if the medication is stopped for six months, it would be good if fifty of these seventy people survived, and some might even die even with the medication.
What's the situation at the hospital?

In a daze, Xu Liang suddenly spoke.

"Why would they sue the deceased for no reason?"

Generally speaking, hospitals are only responsible for saving lives. If a patient secretly takes generic drugs, they will basically not interfere as long as the drug does not cause any problems and is still effective.

Even if someone dies from eating it, normally the hospital wouldn't be the one to sue!
The breadth of the topic left Wang Feiyu somewhat dazed. After regaining his composure, he quickly spoke:

"I haven't figured it out yet."

"But after some investigation, I found that Tianshan Hospital in Qingshi City is a private hospital, founded by Juxing Pharmaceutical Group."

"The smuggled drug is called imatinib, which is a very effective drug for leukemia, but it is very expensive and even the social elite cannot afford it!"

"Currently, there is only one company in the world that produces this type of drug, and Giant Star Pharmaceutical Group is the agent of this pharmaceutical company."

After a pause, Wang Feiyu continued:

"In other words, the generic drugs smuggled by the defendants Kong Jian and Wu Fang..."

"This infringes upon the interests of Juxing Pharmaceutical Group!"

Imatinib?

A self-developed drug with a global monopoly!?

Xu Liang frowned and fell into deep thought.
