Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

The prosecutor's legal representative for the civil suit...

"The door's unlocked, come in."

The sound faded.

Without hesitation, Fan He pressed the doorknob at the door and stepped inside.

"Beep beep beep."

The crisp sound of the instruments, along with the sound of the electrocardiogram, filled my ears.

The air smelled strongly of disinfectant.

Zhang Er remained lying in bed, his thin body looking somewhat emaciated; after lying in bed for several months, his muscles had gradually atrophied. Fan He glanced around, then fixed his gaze on the only conscious person in the room.

"Hello, my name is Fan He, and I am the civil prosecution lawyer representing the public prosecutor's office."

He looked at Qian Hao inside the room and reached out his hand.

He paused, then added.

"I'm from Haicheng."

Haicheng...

Qian Wu paused for a moment, glanced at the lawyer in front of him, narrowed his eyes, and subconsciously began to label the other party.

Haicheng?

What happened to Haicheng?

"Attorney Fan, what is your educational background?"

Qian Wu reached out and shook hands with him, then suddenly asked a question.

Fan He was slightly taken aback, unsure of what the other person was talking about, but still hesitated before answering.

"Undergraduate degree."

"985?" Qian Wu asked.

"211," Fan He said.

Ha, garbage!

Qian Wu snorted inwardly, first setting the tone for the other party's legal ability, and then pondered for a moment.

The lawyers in Haicheng are quite capable. To be able to establish themselves in Haicheng, they must have a team, which means they are senior lawyers.

In that case...

He could barely be considered an uncivilized ape-man who had just come down from the tree.

"Attorney Fan, you didn't come here just to chat, did you?" Qian Hao composed himself and looked at the other person.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Fan He didn't mince words and spoke directly:

"This time I came..."

"I wanted to talk to you about the letter of understanding."

The words were spoken.

Fan He smiled. "I wonder if you'd be interested in learning more?"

Letter of Understanding?

"Heh, do you think she'll sign a letter of forgiveness?"

Qian Wu paused for a moment, then pointed to Zhang Er on the bed.

Their attitude towards the Liu Guofu murder case in Lusen City is very clear.

It is impossible to sign a letter of understanding.

Accountability! Accountability! And more accountability!!!

Even if Liu Guofu was stabbed 17 times by Zhang Da, that was only because Zhang Da paid for it by going to the police station, not as compensation to Zhang Er. They will never sign a letter of understanding regarding the case in Lusen City!

"No, no, no, you may have misunderstood me."

Fan He waved his hands repeatedly, pointed to himself, and said:

"What I mean is... I've come to see you this time."

"It was to discuss the matter of Liu Guofu signing a letter of understanding with the defendant Zhang Da."

The words were spoken.

Fan He stopped speaking and silently looked at the other person.

Letter of Understanding?

Qian Wu paused slightly, then frowned.

If it were Wang, and Chao were here, he might not be able to understand the other party's subtext.

But Qian Wu had been through many complicated interpersonal relationships, and he instantly understood the other person's meaning from the first half of the sentence!

"Both parties exchanged letters of understanding!?"

"Tsk, it's amazing they even thought of that!"

Qian Hao fell into deep thought.

To be honest, he wanted to follow Xu De's instructions before he left: if the other party came, he should tell them to get lost.

but. ..

At this moment, however, he was somewhat speechless.

Why?

Because the letter of understanding that Fan He mentioned was personally signed by Liu Guofu!

The validity of different letters of understanding varies.

As long as no one has died in the case, the difference in legal validity between Liu Guofu signing the document himself and having his family sign it is like night and day!

The latter is less effective and may not even be recognized by judges.

The former... can have its sentence reduced by up to 40%!

A 40% reduction in sentence!

Furthermore, Zhang Da himself had his reasons for acting first, and his initial move was partly a form of "defense"...

As long as you agree, even if the prosecution charges you with attempted murder.

As long as the other party cooperates, there is still a high chance that the case will be solved, with a sentence of less than ten years... or even probation is not impossible.

What do you think?

Fan He looked at Qian Hao and offered a reminder.

Qian Wu remained silent, his mind racing.

It's a very good benefit, with a chance of probation, but then again...

"Zhang Er's injuries are even more severe than Liu Guofu's!"

Qian Hao's pupils condensed.

Zhang Er's injuries were more severe than Liu Guofu's, yet he had to sign a letter of understanding that would also reduce his sentence by 40%, putting him at a complete disadvantage.

"Ha, no wonder they're primitive apes who eat raw meat and drink blood; everything they do is based on eating human blood and flesh!"

Qian Wu shook his head, just about to brush it off.

"I can't decide this; I need to contact someone..."

Unexpectedly, the next second...

"Squeak~"

Suddenly, the sound of a door opening rang out.

The two people inside the room subconsciously turned their heads to look at the main entrance of the ward on one side, and just then they saw two familiar figures pushing the door open and entering.

The door to the ward opened.

Xu De and Lin Yue lifted their legs and entered, but the moment they entered, they were met with Fan He's scrutinizing eyes.

He paused slightly.

"Who are you..,"

"My name is Fan He, a lawyer from Haicheng," Fan He said with a smile.

Upon seeing this, Qian Wu had an idea and stepped forward to whisper something to him.

Not long after.

Xu De finally understood what the other party meant; so... this was an attempt to blackmail him!?

"Attorney Fan, the proposal you put forward... doesn't seem very sincere."

Looking at the other person, Xu De sighed.

Lacking sincerity...

It's just not sincere!

The other party requested the exchange of letters of understanding, but also wants to pursue civil damages!

Just kidding, Zhang Da doesn't have a guardian. She's an adult, and the government won't bail her out. The compensation she'll be held responsible for will fall on her own shoulders! That'll happen then.

Even if the letter of understanding were truly effective, Zhang Da would still have to repay the debt for the rest of his life.

"No, no, no, my sincerity is more than enough."

Fan He waved his hands repeatedly and began to explain:

"Attorney Xu, please think about it carefully."

"Your client, Zhang Da... she's not bullying a normal person, she's bullying a mentally ill person!"

"Even if he wasn't having a seizure at the time, he was still a vulnerable person... Shouldn't someone who bullies a vulnerable person, and who is willing to sign a letter of understanding, receive some compensation?"

The words were spoken.

Xu De suddenly retorted, "Vulnerable groups?"

He pointed to Zhang Er lying on the bed and retorted, saying:

Are minors considered a vulnerable group?

Of course!

They are still among the most protected vulnerable groups.

But then a problem arises...

"The conflict between mental illness and minors should naturally be handled according to the law," Fan He said tactfully.

in other words.

It's a case of the weak bullying the weak, which offsets the fact that Liu Guofu may not have been ill during the time of the incident, but you don't have the opportunity to prove it right now!

But Zhang Da's case is urgent!

They also thought Zhang Da was about to be tried.

"You should..."

Fan He smiled, realizing that the other party wasn't as difficult to deal with as Zhou Ning had described.

"Do you understand what I mean?"

The words were spoken.

Qian Wu crossed his arms, tilted his head, and looked at the other person with an uncertain expression in his eyes.

The other party is not human at all.

Purely for the benefit of the parties involved, at the expense of encroaching on the interests of others, is the act of a primitive ape-man who eats raw meat and drinks blood!

Perhaps, they are not even as good as some ape in Green Forest City. At least apes have evolved, they are just a bit more primitive.

Of course, Qian Wu did not say here that the ape was Wang or Chao.

He didn't mean to name Wang Chao.

However...

"Attorney Fan, right?"

Xu De suddenly spoke up: "If you like to talk according to the law, then let's talk according to the law."

Wh...what?

Fan He was taken aback, somewhat confused about what the other party meant.

Xu De smiled... a very gentle smile, not sarcastic, but rather somewhat... wistful?

He said:

"I'm a very law-abiding citizen..."

"Since the law stipulates that mentally ill people are not criminally liable for murder, nor for crimes committed by mentally ill people... then let's follow the law." "I've always strongly supported this law!"

Fan He: ? ? ?

What...what is that?

To acknowledge the opponent's most core, and also most unscrupulous, legal provision!?

Fan He stared blankly at the person in front of him, not understanding for a long time what he was talking about.

In short.

"We have already acknowledged your opinion, but..."

A faint smile appeared on Xu De's face. He looked at the other person and said with a smile:

"We refuse."

"reject!?"

Fan He was taken aback; he had never expected this answer.

Even win-win exchanges should be rejected!

"You..." Fan He wanted to continue asking questions.

Xu De, however, was clearly too lazy to continue arguing with him and immediately reached out his hand to stop him.

"stop."

"Attorney Fan, the victim needs a quiet environment to rest now."

Xu De pointed to the unconscious Zhang Er.

"You know what I mean?"

Fan He remained silent, his hands clenched. After a long while, he took a deep breath, finally suppressing his emotions, and said in a deep voice:

"Um."

He turned and left.

However, when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Xu De.

"Attorney Xu, the court has issued the hearing date."

"I know."

Xu De nodded. "The trial will be held on April 1st, April Fool's Day."

Upon hearing this...

Fan He looked at the other person intently, but couldn't figure out what the other person was thinking for a long time.

moment.

He pushed open the door and left the ward, leaving only three words behind.

See you in court.

He wasn't afraid that Xu De wouldn't sign the letter of understanding.

Exchanging letters of understanding is the only way to break this deadlock!

The case in Green Forest City won't go to trial for at least several months, but Zhang Da's case is imminent...

It's obvious that Xu De is more anxious than him!

Once the other party has gone through the court hearing and experienced the advantages brought by the mental illness law, Fan He is not afraid that he will be unwilling to sign.

The words were spoken.

"Bang!"

The door is closed.

Qian Wu couldn't help but look at Xu De and ask:

"Director, although his words are harsh, and Zhang Er's interests will be infringed upon..."

"It's definitely a good idea right now."

"Sometimes, it's worth considering a win-win situation like this."

Qian Hao sighed.

He has seen many unsatisfactory cases. Sometimes, in order to protect something important, even if interests are infringed upon, it is actually possible to pretend not to see it.

But...

"Win-win? I know, I will achieve a win-win situation."

Xu De nodded.

He always knew what a win-win situation was!

"You're not refusing..." Qian Wu was taken aback.

Before he could finish speaking, Xu De stuffed an apple into the other man's mouth and said at the same time:

"I won both cases, isn't that a win-win situation?!"

"Young people, it's best not to get too caught up in trivial details."

Xu De spoke slowly.

"Impossible. It's not that we can't win, it's that there's no angle from which we can even win!"

"The contradictions and the reasons behind them have no bearing on the course of the case. Unless the charges can be dismissed, the 'intentional' element in the charges is almost irrefutable evidence." Qian Wu shook his head and directly refuted this.

"The weapon alone... the weapon that caused 17 wounds is enough to establish that this was intentional assault!"

If Liu Guofu dies, it's a clear case of intentional homicide!

However...

"Weapon? What weapon?"

Xu De suddenly feigned surprise and asked in return.

"That dinner knife."

Qian Wu was confused about what the other person was saying, seemingly a little out of sync. He frowned and glanced back at Lin Yue beside him. Lin Yue sighed, a look of astonishment on her face.

It was obvious that she was losing her composure and didn't know what to say.

The next second, before Qian Wu could refute, Xu De spoke up:

"No, there was no murder weapon in this case."

"That dinner knife was actually a defensive tool, completely unrelated to a weapon!"

Qian Hao: ?

"Defensive items?"

"Then what constitutes a murder weapon?"

"In Green Forest City, that rock about half the size of a palm, that's the murder weapon."

Stones are weapons.

Is the knife that was stabbed 17 times a defensive item?

In a daze.

Qian Wu stood there, stunned, his mind blank.

Xu De patted him on the shoulder and said with emotion:

"Alright, there are still six days until the court hearing."

"I've made many preparations, and I agree with what Fan He said. I'm the kind of person..."

"From the day I started studying law, I felt that the mental illness law was just too reasonable, the kind that ordinary people couldn't refute! Fan He and Zhou Ning told Xu De from the beginning that the mental illness law was useful."

He's already told you how to file a lawsuit.

Xu De definitely had to listen; he was a humble person and would always listen to others' opinions.

If it works well, then use it.

As for who will use it...

That's none of your business.

"Alright, six more days."

"Let's wait for the court hearing."

"...Okay, sure."

3 month 27 number.

There are four days left until the trial begins.

West China Hospital has released the results of a psychiatric evaluation of the defendant, Zhang Da, confirming a clear diagnosis of schizophrenia... a condition described in textbooks! However, due to the surveillance footage, the process could not be observed.

The hospital is finding it difficult to determine whether the murder was caused by a medical episode or whether the perpetrator was not experiencing a medical episode at the time of the murder.

Final judgment....

Only the defense presented in court!

Xu De quietly took away a copy of the certificate, while the court and the procuratorate fell into deep thought.

Agents need to apply in order to watch.

3 month 29 number.

There are two days left until the trial begins.

Everyone began making final preparations for the case; the trial was imminent and could not be delayed.

During the same time period...

Public opinion in Chengdu erupted once again, with more than ten million people gritting their teeth in hatred and wanting to tear the mentally ill man to pieces!

From various locations, voices burst forth, filled with passionate discussions about the case, each tinged with local accents.

When Xu De buys food, he occasionally tries to offer a few words of rebuttal as a neutral party, but he doesn't dare to say much.

3 month 31 day.

The day before the court hearing.

morning.

七点。

Chengdu, a metropolis with a population of ten million.

Early in the morning, countless newspapers covered the entire city like willow catkins!

The case is about to go to trial, with the Chengdu Intermediate People's Court handling the first instance. Does the law protect the victim or the perpetrator?

Should people with mental illness be deprived of their human rights? Listen to the experts' detailed discussion!

Does mental illness equate to a get-out-of-jail-free card? The defendant should receive the rights she deserves!

[The Ninth Hospital case is about to go to trial. An objective discussion: how little support does the defendant currently have...]

【. .....】

Newspapers fluttered in the air.

A local resident was eating breakfast by the roadside, reading a newspaper as he ate. But the more he read, the angrier he became. Finally, he slammed the newspaper on the table.

"Bang!"

"I'm so angry! Damn it, these sons of bitches actually think they can escape punishment by claiming they're mentally ill..." at a breakfast stall.

Local residents in Chengdu were indignant and expressed their anger.

"Those beasts are the plaintiffs!!!"
