Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

"Bail pending trial?"

Li Xiang frowned.

What's going on?

Although the police have now confirmed that Liu Guofu is the murderer, they have not yet transferred the case to the procuratorate. Why are they preparing to release him on bail so quickly?

"Someone is doing things for him?" Li Xiang immediately understood what was going on.

"Most likely."

"Let's go take a look," Li Xiang decided, and then said:

"Let's find a professional... someone to help the victim out of personal favor, without a contract. Let's go check on the suspect first." With that, she finished speaking.

The two stopped what they were doing, went to Zhang Er's hospital room, gave him instructions on how to take care of him, and then headed off into the distance. Meanwhile...

at the same time.

Midori City, Aoyama Mental Hospital.

Inside a single room.

"Mr. Liu, rest assured, I have experience handling cases like this."

"We've come all the way to Qingwu Province, so please rest assured that we can handle the case well. Your mental illness is confirmed; we have nothing to worry about." "Mental illness + acute episode + self-harm, and no one was killed..."

Liu Guofu lay on the bed, his voice trembling with tears, and reached out his hand, saying:

"My hand is gone! My hand is gone!"

Looking at the four fingers that remained on his right hand, Liu Guofu choked up.

His right hand was bandaged up, and after a whole night, it was clear that it couldn't be reattached. In addition, his head was also wrapped up tightly.

One side.

A woman nearing sixty years old was heartbroken upon seeing this.

She looked at the middle-aged man in a suit beside her and said:

"Our child is so badly injured... over there..."

Upon hearing this, lawyer Zhou Ning gave a professional smile and said:

"Ms. Yan, let's focus on Mr. Liu Guofu's criminal liability."

"After receiving your message last night, I rushed over and got a preliminary understanding of the case... You should stop thinking about pursuing any further accountability." "We have no grounds for accusations of two attempted rapes and intentional injury."

Upon hearing this...

Yan Fei paused, her face showing a mixture of conflict and indignation, but she remained silent, finally taking a deep breath reluctantly.

"Okay, whatever you say."

Zhou Ning is a lawyer.

He is forty-seven years old and has extremely extensive experience.

In the legal profession, age is king, and seniority is power; it's like doctors in hospitals—the older you get, the more formidable you become.

Last time, Zhou Ning was in charge of Liu Guofu's intentional assault. This person...

But they're from Haicheng!

Haicheng Boutique Law Firm boasts a team of 47-year-old top-tier lawyers whose professionalism speaks for itself. And under his guidance...

Last time, Liu Guofu injured someone to the point of disability, but Liu Guofu didn't even go to jail; he only had to pay compensation and receive treatment.

The hospital later determined that the illness had been cured and released the person.

Although he was driven away by the locals... it's clear that Zhou Ning was truly dedicated, and his abilities and ideas were extremely feasible. Right now...

"There is very little information in this case that is favorable to us."

"However, there's not a big problem at the moment."

"During the incident, there were no surveillance cameras in the vicinity, and apart from the plaintiff, there were no eyewitnesses. No one can prove whether Mr. Liu was having a mental breakdown. If you insist on this, then the police and the court can only proceed with the trial based on his mental illness."

"After all."

Zhou Ning began by explaining the current situation.

"In the last case, the court already ruled that the patient was mentally ill."

Cases can also be referenced from each other.

Liu Guofu was diagnosed with mental illness in Chengdu and was sentenced according to law.

So...

Once the case is moved there, with the evidence uncertain, the court will naturally favor the previous trial.

Of course, the premise is...

They can move the case over there.

"Can we move it!?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Fei and Liu Guofu showed expressions of surprise and delight.

"Yes, the probability is quite high."

Zhou Ning didn't rule out the possibility of a definitive answer.

"The defendants are unlikely to wake up in the short term. If they want treatment, they can only go to other places. Among other places, the only place where the case can be transferred is Chengdu. They are all orphans and have no family members to take care of them or contact the police."

"In this situation, it is perfectly normal for the Chengdu Intermediate People's Court to handle the case."

talking.

Zhou Ning paused, then said:

"Hmm, maybe the plaintiff also wants to go to Chengdu."

Zhang Er definitely needs to go to Chengdu for treatment, but since the other party is unconscious, someone needs to be found to take care of them.

It's usually a relative, but if the other party has no family, then it's highly likely that either you'll spend money or Zhang Da will come.

There is no money available; the authorities will not spend money to hire caregivers.

Then it has to be Zhang Da.

If the case is filed in Lusen City, but the two plaintiffs have gone to Chengdu and cannot be contacted, or contacting them is extremely difficult, then... it will drag on like this.

The damage to the plaintiff is absolutely immense.

Anyway...

"Mr. Liu, I've already... rubbed..."

Zhou Ning was just about to speak when, in the next second...

"Knock knock knock~"

A voice suddenly rang out from the doorway.

The people inside paused for a moment, then Zhou Ning got up and opened the door.

"Squeak~"

As the door opened slightly, two men dressed in police uniforms appeared before them.

These two...

It was none other than Li Xiang and his apprentice.

Zhou Ning paused for a moment, then, realizing the identity and purpose of the visitor, immediately smiled.

"Officer Li, hello, are you here to check on Liu Guofu's injuries?"

Upon hearing this...

Upon arriving, Li Xiang's expression darkened. He entered the room and glanced around at Yan Fei and Liu Guofu.

Yan Fei and Liu Guofu both looked wary.

Liu Guofu, in particular, immediately rebuked him.

"What are you doing here!?"

He had a deep impression of Li Xiang. Last night, it was Li Xiang who arrested him personally, and his hand was still bleeding. Otherwise, he would most likely be in the police station by now.

"Mr. Liu seems to be in good spirits..."

Li Xiang spoke with a sarcastic tone, mocking the speaker.

Liu Guofu felt a pang of unease, but after a moment's thought, he straightened his back and smiled:

"Mental illness has a period of onset."

"As long as they don't get sick, they're no different from normal people."

Yan Fei nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right. Mental illness only occurs when it's acting up. My son isn't acting up now, so he's no different from a normal person."

Upon hearing this...

A surge of anger welled up inside Li Xiang.

But he suppressed it and said in a deep voice:

"I heard...you're going to be released on bail?"

"It's not just hearsay."

Lawyer Zhou Ning, standing to one side, said, "I have already submitted an application report to the police."

Has it already been submitted?

They were arrested in the early hours of the morning, and it's not even noon yet, and they're already offering bail?!

What is bail pending trial?

In layman's terms, it means that you don't have to go to jail or be detained; you can wait at home for the case to be handled.

During this period, there will be no restrictions on what you do. You can eat normally, play on the computer, play on your phone, or go to some shopping malls... It's like a short-term release.

If Liu Guofu is released on bail pending trial...

Then he wouldn't even need to spend a day in the detention room.

That's right.

In theory, one could apply for bail pending trial 24 hours after being arrested, but Liu Guofu did not go to the police station after being arrested. Instead, he went directly to the hospital for treatment and to recuperate.

After a seven-day quarantine, they can be released on bail without any further delay. This means that even if the person is arrested, they don't even need to go to the police station's detention room.

In theory, it's fine as long as the other party doesn't run away.

but. .

"The police are still investigating!"

Li Xiang was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed. He looked at Zhou Ning, his tone tinged with anger.

"Arrested at dawn, treated during the day."

"The police haven't even prepared a proper statement; your actions have seriously hindered the police investigation!"

Zhou Ning spoke up:

"During the period of release on bail pending trial, the police can still summon you as usual, which will not affect your trial."

Li Xiang felt resentful.

No impact?

It has absolutely no impact!

When the police investigate a case and interrogate a person, their main method is to exploit the fear that the person is instilled by spending a long time in the police station, and to apply psychological pressure in the interrogation room to trigger that fear, thereby extracting clues from the person.

But what about bail pending trial?

If you call them over and ask them anything, and they won't say anything, does that mean it doesn't affect the review process?

But then a problem arises.

"Officer Li."

According to Article 67 of the Criminal Procedure Law.

"This case did not result in any deaths and falls under the category of 'intentional injury' in criminal cases. If the conditions are met, bail can be granted according to law." Zhou Ning still had a smile on his face, and his words were very calm.

He exuded a subtle arrogance as he spoke.

As a top lawyer at a boutique law firm in Haicheng, he has the right to be so proud.

In his eyes, the two most important places in the entire Eastern Kingdom were Yanjing and Haicheng.

Apart from that, the rest of the legal profession... is mostly in small places.

This is not regional discrimination, but simply a consensus within the legal profession.

Big cities are much more competitive; the foresight and importance of cases far surpass those in smaller towns. A lawyer's skills are honed through repeated trials, especially in a place like Haicheng...

Let alone a top lawyer like Zhou Ning, even senior lawyers are no match for the judicial personnel of Green Forest City.

Even though he was just the bottom of the list of top lawyers in Haicheng... it was still Haicheng, not Green Forest City!

Even if you're at the bottom of a 985 university, it's not like you can get away with being the top student in your junior high class.

"According to the law."

"Those who are seriously ill or unable to take care of themselves may be released on bail pending trial."

talking.

Zhou Ning turned to the side and pointed to Liu Guofu beside him.

"And it is clear that Mr. Liu's fingers meet the above conditions."

"At the same time, his brain has suffered trauma and he has a concussion, which also fits the description."

Li Xiang spoke again:

"But the case is still under investigation!"

Zhou Ning replied:

Article 81 of the "Regulations on Procedures for Handling Criminal Cases by Public Security Organs" clearly states that the public security organs, procuratorates, and courts all have the right to decide on bail pending trial.

"During this period, the investigation phase is decided and executed by the Public Security Bureau."

In conclusion.

"During the investigation phase, although the case was not fully investigated."

"We can still be released on bail normally, Officer Li. You cannot infringe upon the interests of our client because of the police."

After saying that...

Li Xiang's expression was somewhat unpleasant. He stared at Zhou Ning in front of him for a long time before taking a deep breath.

"I now need to review what happened in this case last night!"

"Please feel free to do as you please."

Zhou Ning stepped aside to make way for him.

Upon hearing this...

Li Xiang didn't waste any time and went straight to the bedside to question Liu Guofu.

But it's obvious...

Liu Guofu...at least he's not sick right now.

"have no idea."

"I don't remember."

"I have no recollection, I know nothing..."

A series of interrogations.

They even took a break once to allow Zhou Ning, Liu Guofu, and others to have a meal before the trial continued until 2 p.m.

Li Xiang still couldn't get any information out of him.

Liu Guofu is very stubborn.

of course.

It's also possible that he had learned from his previous investigation in Chengdu, and no matter how Li Xiang questioned him, he would only say "I don't know" or "I don't remember." In a normal case, the police would definitely not record this.

but. .

"Officer Li, our client suffers from schizophrenia. During an episode, he will have no memory of the scene."

2:30 p.m.

Zhou Ning looked at Li Xiang and offered a reminder.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiang's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

No memory?

Does the lack of memory mean the police can't investigate? No, Li Xiang understands the other party's purpose.

No memory means no criminal responsibility!

In the legal system, there are always a few laws with extremely high priority. There are such laws in the Civil Code regarding divorce, and naturally, there are also in criminal cases.

If we consider the case of younger people, the "Juvenile Protection Law" has a higher priority.

So, for adults...

The term "mental illness" is just as valuable!

"According to Article 18, Paragraph 1 of the Criminal Law."

"The original text clearly stipulates that: if a mentally ill person causes harmful consequences when he is unable to recognize or control his own behavior, and this is confirmed through legal procedures, he shall not bear criminal responsibility."

Zhou Ning offered a reminder, which only made Li Xiang's face darken further.

"Officer Li, when you are reviewing the case, please pay attention to this point to avoid using the wrong clues from the crime scene."

Mentally ill individuals who commit murder are not held responsible.

Not to mention, although Liu Guofu intended to kill someone, he only attempted murder and caused intentional injury.

If the other party does these things during a period of illness, then... it's even more irresponsible!

"We've located the first victim from the period surrounding the incident. Would you like to hear her statement?"

Li Xiang's eyes darkened as he stared at Zhou Ning and Liu Guofu.

Liu Guofu was startled.

Onset of illness?

He is indeed ill.

But he wasn't sick during the time of the crime; he's just trying to escape punishment by relying on his illness!

If the woman he attempted to rape said something... how could he pretend to be sick?!

Zhou Ning spoke up, smiled, and said:

"Can."

"Please tell me."

can?

Li Xiang paused, his face gradually turning ashen.

Say something? Say what?

That woman was also mentally unstable. As a victim, she didn't say a word. After questioning her, the police found that she was afraid. Heaven knows what she was afraid of!

He was just trying to bluff the other person, but to his surprise, the other person didn't fall for it at all.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Ning smiled again, a hint of disdain flashing through his mind.

Judicial authorities in other regions...

Its level of professionalism is not as good as that of big cities.

In his eyes, Li Xiang's trick was too simple.

In fact, if the files hadn't been located elsewhere, Zhou Ning could have arranged the case in Green Forest City, a small place with a weak judicial system. His arrival would have been a game-changer.

Calm your mind.

Zhou Ning didn't push Li Xiang too hard.

He looked at the other person and said:

"Officer Li, next, our side..."

"I would like to meet with the plaintiff's representative."

He paused as he spoke.

"According to the law."

"We have this right."
