Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Chapter 163 April 1st, each with their own hidden agenda!

3 month 31 day.

The day before the trial, public opinion surrounding the case reached its peak, with countless people engaging in heated discussions.

Besides Chengdu.

Even people from other provinces had by this time gained some understanding of the case.

Green Forest City.

At the end of March, Green Forest City was still in the tail end of the cold wave, and the wind outside was like a knife, making people's skin feel cold.

"Old Hu, Old Hu, come quick! This case in Chengdu is about to go to trial!"

"Tsk, I never expected this case to uncover so much. If this case were in Green Forest City, the prosecutor's office would be in for a headache." "Look at this..."

Green Forest City.

Inside the municipal people's procuratorate, early in the morning, as Prosecutor Hu Guanggang stepped into his office, he saw a group of people gathered together.

He was too lazy to pay attention, but unexpectedly, Huang Shi raised his head in the crowd, waved and called out to him repeatedly after seeing him.

Hu Guang paused, frowned, and stepped forward.

"What's wrong?"

He looked puzzled and asked aloud.

Huang Shixing replied hastily:

"The case that was transferred from Lusen City to Chengdu will be heard in court tomorrow."

The case was transferred to Chengdu?

Hu Guang paused slightly, then took the newspaper from the other person, glanced at it, and a line of black and white text, still smelling of ink, appeared before his eyes: "According to our reporter's investigation, the CD City Intermediate People's Court began hearing the Ninth Hospital case on April 1st. This case is..."

This is a local newspaper in Green Forest City.

Based on initial observations, it appears that the newspaper contacted its colleagues in Chengdu and conducted an investigation.

Of course, these things aren't important. What's important is...

"The indictment has turned into a defense case... Tsk, I'm starting to suspect that the defendant stabbed the other person 17 times on purpose." Huang Shi muttered to himself.

Hu Guang watched for a moment, getting a general idea of ​​the case, then shook his head after hearing Gao's commotion:

"No, he still has some principles."

Bottom line?

Upon hearing those two words...

Huang Shi's heart skipped a beat. Xu De's trust in him had long since been shattered, but...

After seeing the newspaper, Huangshi slightly lowered its level of trust.

Why?

Because of equality.

The other party wasn't targeting me!

While in Midori City, the other party first targeted the family members of the deceased in the case, subjecting them to a series of physical and psychological bullying.

Liu Cui and Li Youcai calculated the time and concluded that they should have adapted to prison life by now.

To be honest, this kind of behavior is considered to be of low professional ethics in the industry.

But then again...

If you only target ordinary people with legal bullying, then you have no bottom line.

But the other side is emphasizing equality.

The second case directly gave the prosecutor, who was also his "teammate," a hard time.

A minor civil case was used by the police as a tool to catch a mistress... To be honest, in my entire life in Huangshi, I have never heard of any place where the police mobilized a large number of officers to catch a mistress!

Although the case ultimately saved a child by a twist of fate, it doesn't sound pleasant at all.

I thought...

Once you get to a big city, like Chengdu in Sichuan, the other person will be a bit more restrained. Who would have thought...

Just now, the client almost got pricked to death by the plaintiff!

Goodness, they gave West China Hospital a real shock right away, testing the medical skills of their experts and professors. Three groups of elderly men in their sixties took turns working for more than ten hours before the surgery.

In summary.

If Xu De only targets prosecutors and their families, then he would have to curse at Xu De whenever he sees him.

But you have to treat everyone equally...

Yellowstone would inexplicably burst into laughter.

Of course, I'm not in the mood to laugh right now; I'm rather serious.

"Tsk, every case this kid handles... is a tough one!"

Huang Shi took a deep breath and frowned, saying:

"The victim was mentally ill, stabbed 17 times, and the surveillance footage clearly recorded the excessive pursuit..."

Intentional versus unintentional, dead versus not dead, will represent completely different natures of the case.

The trial process for the defendant will also differ!

"Mental illness..."

Huang Shi sighed deeply, his voice filled with melancholy, and murmured to himself.

"It's difficult."

Hu Guang also fell silent. He wasn't usually one for strong emotions, and was generally reserved, but now he had a lot to say. But in the end...

But he only opened his mouth and uttered...

"Right now, we shouldn't be the ones feeling the most emotional... The location of the incident will likely generate a lot of public discussion there."

"Tsk... Being caught in the middle of public opinion while handling a case... that's not a pleasant experience."

Huang Shi nodded.

Although he didn't know what the place where the crime occurred was like, he could imagine it just by thinking about it.

The public opinion over there... has most likely already turned into boiling oil in a pot, and has been poured on the officials.

As for what Huang Shi and Hu Guang could do...

All we can do is wait.

"Let's wait."

"The city court will hold its hearing tomorrow, April 1st, at 1:30 PM. What will the case do then...?"

"The court hearing will provide the answer!"

The people of Green Forest City nodded, then fell silent, returning to their posts with their own thoughts and absent-minded expressions.

Meanwhile.

Chengdu...

And that is indeed as they said.

But the public opinion was even more heated than boiling oil!

Chengdu, Sichuan.

Several reports followed.

At this moment, the entire city seemed to be trapped in a pressure cooker!

In the workplace, on construction sites, at breakfast stalls, or at intersections where you are waiting for traffic lights.

As soon as you get close, you can hear a cacophony of voices discussing the case.

At the breakfast stall.

"Liu Guofu... how come it's that damned beast again? Didn't Chengdu expel him before? How did he sneak in?!" "Who knows? Anyway, I'm more concerned about why he wasn't sentenced to death before, why they just killed him!"

"How could I kill him? He's mentally ill..."

"So, a mentally ill person can't be killed? Shouldn't they be killed? His social harm has reached its peak, committing three rapes in one year!" "Tell me, shouldn't he be killed?!"

"Well... legally speaking, people with mental illnesses belong to a vulnerable group..."

Early in the morning.

At the breakfast stall, a group of construction workers from a construction site surrounded a table, eating their breakfast while cursing angrily.

They are all straightforward and speak their minds.

"That girl who was raped before, even though it was an attempted rape... do you know how much psychological trauma it caused her!?"

"Even if you don't kill them, chemical castration is fine."

"There's even a rumor that this attempted rape resulted in someone stabbing him, and the authorities mobilized top doctors from several hospitals..." "Normally, you can't even get an appointment with them, but a whole bunch of people were there to perform surgery on Liu Guofu..."

"Who exactly is the vulnerable group here!?"

"If you ask me, this mental illness law either needs to be changed or amended!"

Several workers engaged in a heated discussion, spittle flying everywhere.

Similar voices were heard repeatedly.

Mental illness is always a hot topic, and this law has been controversial from its inception to the present and even into the future.

Not to mention the case itself.

Liu Guofu raped three times!

And that doesn't even include the cases where he only molested people but didn't report it to the police. The moment he uttered the statement that this scum of society could be exempted from punishment by law, the already pressure-cooked atmosphere was completely ignited.

Newspapers, television, journalists.

Even some local online forums have seen a tiny ripple, like water droplets.

Everyone's talking about it.

Everyone is waiting.

This moment.

Whether they are the defendant, the prosecutor, the attorney, or the prosecutor; whether they are a local or from nearby cities...

Even in Green Forest City, which is 2,000 kilometers away.

Everyone turned their attention to the calendar.

Keep an eye on April 1st!

In this atmosphere, as time went on...

4 month 1 day.

It arrived quietly!

The next day.

4 month 1 day.

Chengdu, Sichuan.

The Ninth Hospital Case: The day of the first instance trial at the Intermediate People's Court!

It was almost noon.

The temperature is pleasant and the weather is sunny.

At this moment, countless people headed towards the courtroom—members of the public, company leaders, newspaper reporters, journalists… a vast, bustling crowd.

The case was heard in a public setting.

What kind of cases need to be kept secret?

It involves privacy and sensitive issues.

In cases of rape, molestation, or involving minors, the entire process will be kept confidential.

Mental illnesses are different.

Although mental illness is a sensitive issue, the trial is actually conducted in public. As long as it is open to the public, people can attend the trial in person. 11:00 AM.

The Intermediate People's Court, outside its main gate.

As a reporter walked up the steps toward the hall, he seemed to hear something in a daze.

Everyone turned to look.

next second.

"Buzz~"

An escort vehicle drove in from the main gate and headed towards the special passage.

"The defendant is here!?"

On the stairs.

"Zhu Jun Newspaper reporter Zhang Miaomiao murmured."

The other reporters were also taken aback, and after regaining their senses, they quickly picked up their cameras to take pictures!

Zhang Miaomiao originally wanted to take photos with them.

Unexpectedly, Sister Wu from the newspaper grabbed her arm and said in a deep voice as they walked upstairs:

"Miaomiao, stop taking pictures. There seem to be a lot of people here this time. Let's go into the courthouse first and grab a good spot."

The words were spoken.

Zhang Miaomiao suddenly woke up with a start.

The arrival of the armored truck is nothing compared to the court hearing!

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

The two hurriedly headed into the courthouse.

Before they arrived, they had already reviewed the case information.

The case was personally handled by Meng Junfeng, a third-level judge of the court. His professional competence was beyond doubt; there were few in Chengdu who were better than him.

And the court...

That is the First Court of the Chengdu Intermediate People's Court!

"Squeak~"

Sister Wu and Zhang Miaomiao pushed open a heavy, purple sandalwood door...

Suddenly, a vast courtroom came into view.

First, what catches the eye is the row upon row of seemingly endless seats, which, at a rough glance, could accommodate nearly a thousand people!

at this time.

Hundreds of seats were already occupied, and the space was very spacious; looking up, it felt like being in a large hall.

Sister Wu and Zhang Miaomiao didn't say anything, occupying the two front seats. Only after their bottoms touched the ground did they breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhang Miaomiao looked up at the trial.

In the trial area.

The combination of black and gold creates an extremely oppressive atmosphere, weighing heavily on everyone's hearts.

The bright red of the national flag, as solemn as fresh blood, makes people hold their breath and feel awe.

Top layer.

In trials that belong exclusively to the judge.

In front of the three chairs, a black gavel rests quietly on the table.

The gavel was small, about the length of a forearm, and it lay quietly on the table, yet it seemed to weigh down the entire First Court!

"Sister Wu..."

As soon as Zhang Miaomiao opened her mouth, her weak voice echoed throughout the courtroom.

She immediately felt a chill run down her spine and quickly lowered her voice, asking in a low, hushed tone.

When will the court hearing be held?

Just as Sister Wu was about to say something.

The next second...,

"Sizzle!"

A sound suddenly rang out from one side of the trial area.

In an instant.

Throughout the entire courtroom, in the first courtroom, nearly a thousand people all looked up at the trial area.

The side door to the trial area opened, and several tall figures in black uniforms with red ties around their necks stood in the doorway. This was...

Prosecutor!

Prosecutors at the CD Municipal People's Procuratorate!

The three leading figures were none other than Deng Shijie, Wang An, and Liu Xi, prosecutors from the Municipal Procuratorate.

Two men and one woman entered the courtroom, glanced around the scene, and did not stop, but continued walking forward.

And beside him.

Several figures in suits stood there, their backs ramrod straight.

It was...

Lawyer Fan He, and two teams of lawyers.

The other party glanced at the crowd below, then took a deep breath and headed towards the agent's seat.

Almost the instant after they sat down.

Another door quietly opened, and a heavy "hum" echoed in the courtroom, reaching everyone's ears.

The next second...,

Three figures appeared on one side of the courtroom.

This is..

"Defense attorney!"

Below, in the trial area.

Suddenly, someone spoke up and said something in a low voice.

Neither Sister Wu nor Zhang Miaomiao spoke; they simply stared at each other silently, their breathing becoming slightly heavier.

The defense lawyer looks very young.

The legal profession is known for its shrewdness and experience; is this person even 30?

Everyone's palms gradually started to sweat.

On the trial floor.

Qian Wulin glanced at the seemingly endless audience seats, then took a deep breath and followed Xu De's footsteps.

"Sizzle!"

The three men sat down in the empty defendant's dock.

After adjusting my posture, I looked up and immediately saw several lawyers staring at me from the lawyers' seats.

"Hmm. If it were a lawyer from Chengdu, I might be a little scared, but unfortunately..."

Fan He glanced at Xu De and the other two, then smiled slightly and looked away.

He didn't bring many people with him.

There were only two people... After all, the senior lawyer's team didn't have many people to begin with, and the small number of people meant that they couldn't even finish checking all the materials submitted by the other party.

Yes.

In the legal profession, there is another tactic: the garbage dumping tactic!

If you have a crucial piece of information you don't want the other party to know, then submit a large amount of detailed and complex evidence related to the case. This will drown that vital piece of evidence in a sea of ​​spam!

in this way.

If the opponent doesn't have a professional team to handle the situation... there's no way to investigate them all.

Xu De didn't throw away the trash.

Because it is not necessary.

This case involves whether Liu Guofu committed "psychotic assault" and is linked to at least three criminal cases!

In addition, there's Liu Jie's place in Lusen City.

There's even Liu Guofu's mental illness file, including his hospitalization, attending physician, and treatment reports...

Three people can't handle it... they simply can't handle it!

All they can do is take away the "main file," then gather relevant clues about the case based on their own subjective judgment, and then use or reject them.

Whether or not someone can finish watching it is none of their business.

Both sides began to harbor their own ulterior motives, lowering their heads and silently pondering how to respond.

until..

In a daze.

A loud voice echoed throughout the courtroom.

The clerk said:

"Everyone stand up!"
