Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

The following day, February 18th.

A high-speed intensive care ambulance sped along the highway from Green Forest City, hundreds of kilometers away, like a bullet fired. Inside the ambulance's rear compartment.

"Beep beep beep..."

"Beep beep beep."

Listening to the crisp "beep" sounds from the instruments, the people sitting in the chairs looked tired.

The disinfectant in the air made Lin Yue a little more awake.

She lifted the carriage curtain and glanced outside.

The scenes along the highway transformed into streaks of light, rushing past us at breakneck speed. A road sign ahead indicated we were about to reach the next province. (See here.)

Lin Yue turned around, lowered the curtain, and glanced at Zhang Er in the carriage, whose body was covered with numerous instruments.

Then, turning to look at Xu De, who had only slept for a few hours, he said softly:

"We should be in Sichuan in about 800 kilometers..."

Upon hearing this...

Xu De, whose nerves had been taut on one side, let out a deep breath, finally feeling a huge weight lifted from his heart.

He closed his bloodshot eyes, reached out and rubbed the corners of his eyes, his face showing exhaustion.

The transfer to another hospital has begun.

Transferring hospitals is a very troublesome matter. Short distances are fine, as the transfer can be completed on the same day, but... what if it involves two thousand kilometers?

Especially considering the injured person was unconscious, had a brain hemorrhage, and had just undergone surgery!

High-speed rail? Airplane? Train?

No, none of them will work!

Only ambulances, specifically intensive care ambulances, also known as "ICU ambulances".

The ambulance took the victim from Lusen City. Several medical staff and Xu Delin traveled more than 2,000 kilometers from Lusen City to Chengdu!

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we should arrive around noon."

"Zhang Dayangbing arrived a day earlier than us, so the local police should have already communicated with them," Lin Yue said again.

Xu De sat in the chair, emitting a faint, mosquito-like sound.

Actually.

Yang Bing and the others left at the same time.

That's right.

Both parties left at the same time. The transfer to another hospital won't be so quick at first; theoretically, it will take two days before the transfer begins.

However, considering various factors, Xu De had to expedite the transfer to another hospital, and the ambulance started its journey almost at the exact moment the plane took off.

As for why Zhang Dayangbing needed to take a plane...

We don't have enough manpower.

This is a very real problem.

Zhang Er's case requires one lawyer to remain in Lusen City to maintain constant contact and communication with the local police. This task is being handled by Qian Wu, who possesses strong professional skills; he cannot leave.

From the moment the ambulance left the hospital until the case was closed, Qian Wu was not allowed to leave Lusen City even for a single step!

One person also needs to stay at the law firm.

The case will take at least two months to process.

If a law firm is left unattended for two months... and there are any problems with its finances... this team could just declare bankruptcy on the spot.

It's not that the Nanshan District judicial system doesn't protect them; it's just that their law firm is being watched.

Leaving aside the other local law firms eyeing the case, take Feng Ji of Blue Flower Law Firm for example. His opponent was only "stabbed" once by Xu De; he's not dead yet! If any law firm doesn't retain him, the case might be halfway through...

Xu De will have to go to prison to eat free food!

Therefore, Wang Chao stayed at the law firm.

Thus, only he and Lin Yue were left with manpower, but a problem arose.

There are strict requirements for ambulances; a family member must be present to provide care.

But here is the problem.

This is for short distances, which one person can easily handle.

Two thousand kilometers, intense mental strain, dozens of hours, with only short breaks in shifts...

With one doctor and one nurse, the other person also needs to think about how to handle the case...

They're really too busy. You know, the car can only stop at a service station for a maximum of 40 minutes to change oxygen cylinders, etc. There's no way they'll give you enough rest time. It's really possible to die suddenly!

"Sigh, we still don't have enough manpower."

Xu De spoke wearily, letting out a deep sigh. If he had a few more acquaintances, he wouldn't have had to entrust Yang Bing with this task.

Fortunately.

"Subtracting the time for rest and sleep, we are at most only half a day later than them."

Lin Yue offered a word of comfort.

"Never mind, let's think about how to file charges first."

Upon hearing this...

Xu De composed himself, pondered for a long time, and finally spoke:

"Following the previous strategy, it will be divided into three steps."

"First, investigate Liu Guofu's mental illness, as he committed a crime in Chengdu."

"Two consecutive forced treatments..."

"Unless someone is an idiot, there is almost no mental illness that causes loss of consciousness. In such cases, the symptoms are described as rape. Targeting this point can provide evidence to refute the other person's claim of mental illness."

"First, Zhang Er is a minor. After overturning the mental illness, he was held accountable because he was a minor. He should be severely punished."

Xu De spoke slowly.

He put a lot of thought and planning into this case.

Qian Wu and Wang Chao had their locations arranged in advance, just waiting to be in place in Chengdu... Once in place, they would immediately begin their attack on Liu Guofu! The key point was "sex".

Sex may seem like a primal animal instinct, but in reality, it requires a lot of logical thinking!

When the illness flares up, those suffering from mental illness who are demented, unconscious, and unable to think can at most be driven by instinct to commit acts of molestation or tearing, but cannot reach the point of completing a sexual act.

This is a brilliant breakthrough, if possible...

Liu Guofu can be completely overthrown!

Xu De slowly opened his mouth, just as he was about to say something.

next second.

"Beep beep beep~"

A piercing telephone ring suddenly sounded in my ear.

Xu De paused, swallowing back the words he hadn't said. He reached into his pocket and pulled his phone out.

"Whose call is this?" Lin Yue peeked over from the side.

[Caller ID: Yang Bing]

"From Attorney Yang."

Xu De spoke, his brows furrowing slightly before he paused and moved slightly away from Zhang Er, who was recuperating.

He paused slightly, then dialed the number.

next second...

"beep!"

The call connected, and before he could even ask anything, a hurried, anxious voice, tinged with anger, came through the speakerphone: "Attorney Xu, Zhang Da is in trouble!"

"At 3 a.m. this morning, while everyone was asleep, she went out, took a kitchen knife, and stabbed the defendant, Liu Guofu, at 4 a.m.!" "The police have now apprehended her and she is currently in detention..."

The moment the words left his mouth.

Xu De's pupils contracted sharply, and he looked up abruptly. He and Lin Yue exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock and astonishment in each other's eyes.

"Impossible!" Xu De blurted out instinctively.

The news came as a complete surprise, catching everyone off guard.

If you take away their rest time, they arrive half a day later than each other... How could this happen in such a short time?

Most importantly...

"After the incident, the hospital provided psychological counseling to Zhang Da, and based on my observation, in her current state, it is absolutely impossible for her to have taken the initiative to stab someone with a knife... In psychology."

Some people who start collecting weapons after encountering major events are not necessarily acting out of a desire to kill.

This is a classic example of the subconscious urging oneself to engage in self-defense!

This is a defensive collection, much like how the East Country used to make bullets, nuclear bombs, and cannons – a kind of "fear of insufficient firepower."

But has Dongguo ever attacked anyone proactively?

Similarly, Zhang Da was far from being capable of committing murder on his own initiative!

Suddenly, a voice came from the speaker, interrupting it.

"What if you suddenly receive a strong stimulus!?"

On the other end of the phone.

Yang Bing was so angry he wanted to curse.

"During the police interrogation, it was revealed that Liu Guofu and Zhou Ning vehemently denied committing any acts of harm in Lusen City, and even went so far as to falsely accuse Zhang Er of actively harming Liu Guofu!"

"Yesterday afternoon I went to many places to collect information."

"She probably saw that I had returned empty-handed, so she came up with the idea of ​​illegally obtaining evidence herself, and that's why she took my recording pen beforehand..." "At four in the morning, he found Liu Guofu..."

talking.

Yang Bing couldn't hold back any longer. He was burning with anger and started cursing loudly.

"And then there's that idiot Liu Guofu, fucking bastard, even in the hospital, he was still thinking about rape!"

"He even deliberately provoked her!"

"He didn't know how to use my voice recorder at all. He thought it was okay since it was broken, but everything he said, including what he did to Zhang Er..." "was actually recorded!"

Denying it outright is not enough.

You even enjoy provoking her? You were even in the hospital, and you were still thinking about raping her!?

In an instant.

Not to mention Xu De, even Lin Yue's face turned ashen.

It's important to know that the other party already has a criminal record. They attempted to rape Liu Jie and Zhang Er, and the prosecutor's office is currently prosecuting them. If they were to commit rape again at this point... they could be directly charged with criminal offenses, with multiple crimes resulting in a minimum sentence of 18 years!

But even at the risk of being sentenced to 18 years.

Even while he was in the hospital, Liu Guofu was still thinking about raping her? He even provoked her while doing so!

Let alone growing up.

Even if the person at the scene is a normal, ordinary person, they should still be stabbed to death!

"Is this guy out of his mind?!"

Lin Yue stared at Xu De in astonishment, completely baffled as to what he was thinking.

This person truly doesn't know how to spell "death," practically forcing others to kill them.

"Does he really think that mental illness is like having a head of bronze and arms of iron, an indestructible body?" Lin Yue said.

Xu De's reaction wasn't much better than hers.

After a long silence, he took a deep breath and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.

Xu De asked:

"What's the situation on your end now!?"

Yang Bing said, "Zhang Er's case is cleared up; the recording is very clear..."

"I'm talking about Liu Guofu!"

Xu De took a deep breath, suppressing his urge to curse Liu Guofu.

"How is he now?"

"Is he dead or alive!?"

Liu Guofu is an idiot.

He deserves to die.

They can drown, be hit by a car, choke to death, or even fall into a septic tank and be suffocated by the fumes.

But I absolutely cannot die at Zhang Da's hands. It's not worth it to trade my life for that beast!

"I don't know. The nurse on duty heard a noise and went over to find something unusual when the incident occurred."

"The murder weapon wasn't a sharp object; it was a dull dinner knife."

"Zhang Da stabbed him 17 times without any restraint!"

"But it wasn't a sharp weapon, and Liu Guofu was thick-skinned and had a lot of fat, so he didn't die on the spot!"

Yang Bing took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

A sharp knife kills quickly.

A blunt knife carries a high risk of subsequent infection, but it slows down the death rate.

Therefore, a kitchen knife is unlikely to kill someone instantly... This is what was described above as a "defensive collection."

Zhang Da took the knife purely out of self-defense. If he intended to kill, even a utility knife would have been more effective than a kitchen knife. If Liu Guofu hadn't been mentally unstable, the case wouldn't have escalated to this point!

Yang Bing's voice came through the speaker.

"at present."

"After being rescued, Liu Guofu was transferred to West China Hospital while still on his last breath."

"Chengdu officials have realized the perpetrator's sensitive situation and are now searching for him in major hospitals. Several legendary medical experts and professors are already performing surgery on him."

"The surgery lasted five hours, and there's still no sign of them coming out!"

Several living fossils...

17 knives...

A whopping 17 dollars!

Now we'll see if these living fossil-level experts and professors, taking turns speaking, can buy them some leeway! Hopefully, Liu Guofu is alive... It's more useful for them to be alive than dead!

Xu De took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions within him, and said in a deep voice:

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

in the afternoon.

2:17.

Chengdu, Sichuan.

A black sedan drove off the highway from the direction of Haicheng.

Not long after.

The car was parked in the parking lot of the Ninth General Hospital.

"Snapped!"

The car door opened.

Several men and women in suits, exuding an aura of social elites, got out of the car and glanced at the hospital.

Immediately.

One of the lawyers couldn't help but look at the leader.

"Attorney Zhou, what's the current status of my client Liu Guofu's case? Is it easy to handle?"

"Didn't we handle his rape case before? ...At that time, his logic for rape was hard to justify, and he only won because of the imperfections in the existing mental illness laws and the conservative verdict."

"This is now a second offense."

The person who arrived was Zhou Ning, a senior lawyer from Haicheng.

After settling Liu Guofu and Yan Fei in yesterday, Zhou Ning rushed back to Haicheng and began bringing his own team with him.

The people behind him are his team members.

"Currently, we are in the advantageous position," Zhou Ning said.

"Favorable witness testimonies, lack of objective evidence in the case, inability to prove mental illness..."

"In addition, there is his criminal record... The conviction for mental illness is basically equivalent to determining that Liu Guofu does have a mental illness. The subsequent case will be tried on this basis, which is advantageous to us."

Upon hearing this, the people around hesitated.

Zhou Ning added, "The opponent isn't a lawyer from Chengdu, but from Lusen City."

"I can't find an angle from which I can lose the case."

Not from Chengdu?

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and put their minds at ease.

Then he followed Zhou Ning and walked towards the hospital building.

Not long after.

Zhou Ning then went up to the 6th floor.

However...

"Hiss~"

As soon as the elevator doors opened and Zhou Ning stepped onto the elevator, he was stopped by a yellow and black police tape in the corridor.

You can still vaguely see the figures of several policemen constantly moving about.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Ning's team was stunned.

this.

What's going on?

One of the policemen saw them, frowned, and walked towards them.

What do you do?

Zhou Ning hesitated for a moment, but decided to suppress his curiosity and said:

"Hello, I'm looking for patient Liu Guofu in room 611."

"Liu Guofu?"

The policeman paused, frowned, and scrutinized the other man.

"Who are you to him?"

"I am Liu Guofu's lawyer. This is my identification. I signed a contract with him."

Zhou Ning spoke, took out his ID, and handed it to the other party.

The police officer looked at it, then pondered for a moment, and asked one of the leading officers at the scene.

Finally, the lead police officer came over and verified the identification documents.

The lead police officer addressed Zhou Ning:

Liu Guofu is not currently at the Ninth General Hospital.

Zhou Ning froze. "Where is he?"

The policeman said:

"Liu Guofu was stabbed 17 times in the early hours of this morning and is currently receiving emergency treatment at West China Hospital."

Ten...seventeen knives?

Zhou Ning: ?

"Um?"
