Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

"What I'd like to know is, who is the opposing lawyer?"

Fan He looked at Zhou Ning, an expression of interest on his face. He raised an eyebrow and smiled:

"They dare to take on this kind of defense case..."

"Tsk, calling it incredibly audacious wouldn't be an exaggeration."

Fan He was very surprised.

He is a lawyer in Haicheng. Although his law firm is not top-tier in Haicheng, it is still a large, boutique law firm with long-term in-depth cooperation with banks, technology companies, and the stock market.

Its scale and resources far surpass those of law firms in other small towns.

The same reason.

Within the law firm, the individual abilities of lawyers are on a completely different level!

Even so, Fan He couldn't help but gasp when he saw the case.

now.

Standing at 1.78 meters tall and weighing 160 kilograms, with a well-proportioned figure, long hair, glasses, and a refined and gentle demeanor in a suit, Fan He looked at Zhou Ning with eyes full of surprise and doubt.

"The assailant deliberately attacked the victim, who was stabbed 17 times, and there was a clear conflict..."

"Aside from the client being unharmed... is there any room for defense?!"

"Who is the defense lawyer?"

Zhou Ning hesitated for a moment, pondered for a moment, and finally sighed, saying:

"A lawyer from Green Forest City."

"Green Forest City?"

Fan He was taken aback, his mind racing through his memories, and finally he frowned.

What kind of place is Midori-mori City?

"A populous city in Qingwu Province, well... the overall judicial situation is rather brutal!"

As Zhou Ning spoke, his face darkened, and he began to rant and rave, his emotions running high.

"That's a very barbaric and rude place!"

"The defense lawyer is the director of Houde Law Firm. Of course, he is not a high-ranking lawyer. The entire firm has only a dozen or so people. It is just a newly established law firm."

"Is it that simple?" Fan He asked in surprise, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

"This is a criminal defense case involving intentional assault!"

"In particular, Liu Fuguo is mentally ill and belongs to a vulnerable group, which further narrows the angles of the defense."

"He wouldn't dare take on a job he's not qualified for!"

He couldn't help but have doubts.

In the judicial system, what kind of cases are the most difficult?

Financial? Or a criminal plaintiff case?

It's criminal defense!

That's right.

Among all cases of the same level, criminal defense cases are the most difficult!

Defense lawyers must not only defend against the barrage of attacks, but also fight back and persuade the judge.

Also.

Among the challenges of confronting public authority, the most severe consequences, rigorous procedures, and pressure from public opinion and case handling, defense cases are the most serious. It's easy to see why legal aid cases are mostly those of defendants.

Because no one is willing to take on the project, the client can only wait for a guaranteed minimum return!

Even under these circumstances, cases involving defendants who intentionally cause injury are even more difficult to handle!

"At least, that's the information I've received."

Zhou Ning nodded and spoke.

"The information I found is..."

"His law firm only started the application process in November and successfully registered in December."

"To date, the law firm has only been developing for about three months, and there are no so-called 'top lawyers' in the firm."

talking.

Zhou Ning smiled... a purely mocking smile.

"What level of expertise does a top lawyer in a small town possess... Attorney Fan should understand, right?"

Fan He nodded, lost in thought.

Top lawyers are the best in a law firm. The term "top" is not officially recognized and there is no standard. Therefore, top lawyers from different law firms may have the same name, but their abilities can vary greatly.

Let me put it this way.

The senior lawyers in Haicheng are much better than the top lawyers in smaller places, by a significant margin!

"I've never even heard of a place like Green Forest City."

"He's not a top-tier lawyer, and the case is very unfavorable to him..."

Zhou Ning said casually.

There's no need to worry about anything.

Fan He thought about it and agreed.

The law firm was only three months old, which included almost two weeks of vacation...

"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. What about the victim?"

"Liu Guofu escaped legal punishment last time by claiming mental illness, but now he..."

"What are the family's thoughts? Do they want to pursue criminal charges, or do they want compensation?"

Fan He changed the subject.

Zhou Ning spoke up again and said a few more words.

Immediately, Fan He smiled and returned to the ward to sign the "criminal incidental civil case" with Yan Fei.

That is, at this very moment.

Fan He became the victim's legal representative!

However...

"Liu Guofu, mental illness, Ninth General Hospital..."

Inside the corridor.

A pair of hands put the newspaper down, revealing Zhang Miaomiao's face.

Her expression was inscrutable, and she murmured to herself.

next second.

She didn't hesitate.

He then returned to the ward and gave his relatives a few words of advice.

He immediately left the hospital, took a taxi to Zhujun News, and arrived at the news website in no time.

3 month 10 day.

CD Municipal People's Procuratorate.

"The investigation has been completed to a large extent."

There's not much information missing about Liu Guofu.

"However, there are still some flaws regarding the defendant's identity and background."

Will it affect the progress of the case?

"It doesn't matter... the main issue is the defendant Zhang Da's parents... cough cough, I mean the guardians, we can't find the guardians."

"Guardians? What's going on? Aren't they orphans?"

Inside the office.

Several prosecutors gathered together and began to organize and discuss the case.

Prosecutor Jiang Cheng sighed, looked at the silent Deng Shijie to the side, and said:

"The defendant Zhang Da and his sister Zhang Er are indeed orphans."

"But the two are related, they have a nominal guardian... well, a close relative, namely an aunt."

"After the child's parents died, his aunt adopted him and reasonably entrusted him with the safekeeping of his property."

"Then the other party tried to liquidate everything, including the house, and then ran away abroad. We can't contact them anymore..."

The words were spoken.

The office staff frowned, their lips moving but no words came out.

They were all wiped out...

I thought these two children's fates were already tragic enough, but who would have thought they weren't even the worst...

"If we can't contact them, we can't contact them."

Deng Shijie took a deep breath and said nothing more.

"The investigation is almost complete; let's prepare to file charges."

Zhang Da is an adult, and whether or not he has a guardian, he will bear full criminal responsibility.

Even if a guardian is found, it won't have much impact on the case.

Just as everyone unanimously agreed and were preparing to file a public prosecution.

In a daze...

"Knock knock knock~!"

"Knock knock knock knock!!!"

"Director Deng, Director Deng, something's happened!"

A sudden, urgent knocking broke the silence and rang in everyone's ears.

problem occurs?

Deng Shijie was taken aback. He looked at the main entrance, then frowned, got up, walked over, and opened the door.

"Squeak~"

The door opened.

Outside the door stood a woman, a young woman in her early twenties, surnamed Wang, who was an assistant prosecutor at the procuratorate.

only.

At this moment, Prosecutor Wang was covered in sweat. She stood at the door looking at Deng Shijie and said anxiously:

"Director Deng, something's happened. The chief prosecutor is looking for you; he wants you to go to the office on duty!"

problem occurs?

The chief prosecutor is looking for him!?

Deng Shijie's heart sank, wondering what had happened.

"Okay, I'll go find the chief prosecutor."

Deng Shijie did not hesitate.

He turned and walked toward the prosecutor's office.

As Deng Shijie walked, his mind began to ponder.

What did the chief prosecutor want with him?

He was already handling a case himself, so he wouldn't bother with trivial matters. Judging from Prosecutor Wang's appearance, it was clearly urgent.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind.

until..

"Squeak~"

Deng Shijie pushed open an office door, and through the crack in the door, several overlapping figures appeared in front of him.

"What's going on?"

Deng Shijie pushed open the door to the duty room and walked in with a frown.

All I saw was...

Inside the office duty room, several operators were frantically answering the phone, constantly making excuses and offering their opinions.

The usually quiet duty room was now filled with the chief prosecutor and deputy chief prosecutor from the procuratorate, in addition to the operators!

Deng Shijie looked at one of the middle-aged men, walked to his side, and frowned, saying:

"Chief Prosecutor, you wanted to see me?"

I heard a sound.

When the chief prosecutor turned around, Deng Shijie noticed that the other party had a dark expression and was clearly in a bad mood.

"Something's happened!"

problem occurs?

Deng Shijie asked in confusion, "What is it?"

"Take a look for yourself!"

The chief prosecutor didn't say anything, but simply stuffed a stack of newspapers into Deng Shijie's arms, and judging from his expression, it was clear that the other party was very angry.

Deng Shijie frowned even more and looked down.

"Sizzle!"

The newspaper was spread out, and the next second, as his gaze swept across it, countless words appeared before his eyes.

[Shocking! Eight months later, mentally ill rapist Liu Guofu reappears in Chengdu!]

[This is outrageous! Should there be a get-out-of-jail-free card?! Should ordinary people be protected, or should mentally ill individuals be granted immunity from the death penalty?!]

[Rape... Liu Guofu commits rape again. Today, the victim "Liu Mou" announced by the hospital in connection with the knife attack at the Ninth General Hospital is none other than Liu Guofu!]

[17 stab wounds! A man evading criminal charges was stabbed 17 times; doctors say that even if he doesn't die, he will suffer for the rest of his life!]

[Breaking news: The suspect was raped by Liu Guofu and stabbed 177 times during the struggle...]

【. .....】

Is this a newspaper?

But why would there be a case in the newspaper?!

In an instant.

Deng Shijie's pupils contracted slightly, his face darkened, and he frowned as he examined the newspapers closely, clearly intending to read them carefully.

on the newspaper.

Every major section is filled with this case!

Just now.

The operator on one side.

The operator had just hung up one call when the landline was dialed again. She barely had time to wipe the sweat from her brow before her throat tightened and she stammered, "Hello? This is......"

Unexpectedly.

Before the operator could finish speaking, a barrage of condemnations and curses erupted from the loudspeaker.

"You idiots, what exactly did you do? Don't you know he's mentally ill? Who let him out?!"

"A mentally ill person can kill without being punished; wait until he cuts your mother's clothes..."

"What the hell are you all doing?!"

"17 stabs... I could stab him 71 times and it wouldn't be too much for me!"

The call connected.

A torrent of insults instantly filled everyone's ears.

The operator's face turned red, but all she could do was apologize repeatedly, while claiming that she would record the incident.

This was taken by a citizen.

That's right...

Since I started working, the phone on this phone has been ringing non-stop!

It was alright in the morning; there was only one at first, then two would come every now and then, but by noon...

It's everywhere!

Throughout Chengdu, people are calling the procuratorate to report their grievances.

The case has become a major public spectacle, sparking widespread outrage and unprecedented public opinion. Let's go out and see for ourselves.

Whether it's in newspapers, at restaurants, or even at roadside food stalls, there's cursing everywhere. People are cursing Liu Guofu, the police, and even the procuratorate!

The noise was incessant.

"We'll respond...uh-huh...uh-huh, that won't take up your time..."

The operator had a bitter face.

He finally managed to hang up the phone and was just about to get a glass of water.

But the next second...

"Beep beep beep beep~!"

The landline that had just been hung up rang again, almost non-stop. The operator couldn't even get a drink of water; her throat felt like a desert, utterly parched, but she could only dial back quickly.

"Feed?" the operator asked.

next second.

Then a very shrewish female voice came from the speaker.

"Are you all out of your minds? Who exactly conducted that psychiatric evaluation?"

"You bastard... have you ever seen a mentally ill person commit rape during a psychotic episode?!"

"Three rapes in six months? Is that a mental illness assessment? Isn't that a certificate of legal rape?!"

If the last phone call was just pure insults, this one really hit home.

The operator's face turned green.

And this scene...was experienced by all the operators in the entire duty room.

There was no other choice.

The operator had no choice but to turn her attention to the prosecutor.

Seeing this, the chief prosecutor on one side turned to Deng Shijie with a grim expression and said in a deep voice:

"The case has been leaked!"

"Was this due to negligence on your part during the investigation?"

They anticipated that the case would cause a public uproar.

Therefore, everyone, including the police, is handling the case discreetly, for fear of leaking information.

But who would have thought...

The news was still leaked.

The public outcry has reached such a level!

"Now television stations have approached the prosecutor's office, and reporters from major news outlets are also coming to the prosecutor's office for interviews."

The chief prosecutor's tone was heavy, and he seemed utterly exhausted.

"I just asked the police station."

"It's the same at the police station. Countless calls are coming in demanding complaints, even causing network congestion and delaying ordinary people from reporting crimes!"

"Even at West China Hospital, a large number of people are saying that Liu Guofu should get out of the hospital."

"How exactly was this information leaked!?"

Deng Shijie's face grew increasingly grim.

In the end, however, he still spoke:

"No, the prosecutor's office won't leak information about the case. There are no new staff members handling this case, and the investigation process is all within the system; it's impossible for anyone to leak it!"

Is it Xu De?

No, the defendant won't disclose it either. Although public outcry would be to his advantage, it would anger the presiding judge.

Just as Deng Shijie was about to say something.

In a daze.

"Bang!"

The door to the duty room was suddenly pushed open.

Prosecutor Jiang Cheng suddenly pushed open the door and entered. Upon seeing the chief prosecutor, he paused slightly before quickly walking to Deng Shijie's side and speaking anxiously in a low voice.

The words were spoken.

Deng Shijie's expression froze instantly.

Upon seeing this, the chief prosecutor frowned and asked:

"What's going on? Is public opinion affecting the progress of the investigation?"

No, it's not.

Deng Shijie was taken aback, and he said:

"The defendant's side..."

"Apply to the court for a forensic psychiatric evaluation report!"
