Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

"This is neither a threat nor coercion."

"Attorney Xu, I am a lawyer, and I am responsible to my clients. According to legal ethics, everything must prioritize the client's interests." "And my proposal..."

At the entrance to the ward.

Looking at Xu De, Zhou Ning's face remained expressionless.

He didn't want to lose, and he especially didn't want to lose infamously!

This case is very important to him. If he loses... given his status as a gatekeeper for top lawyers, there is a chance he will fall back to the ranks of senior lawyers, with only the title of "top lawyer".

My proposal is simply a collaboration.

"A collaboration that is acceptable to both parties."

Looking at Xu De.

Zhou Ning spoke slowly.

Xu De did not respond. He stood there, looking at the lawyer in front of him, and narrowed his eyes.

at the same time.

Intensive care unit, inside the ward.

Yan Fei, who was feeding the baby, stopped.

Liu Guofu, who was lying in bed, frowned when he saw the person who walked in.

"Heh heh, Mr. Liu is living a pretty good life."

"Watching TV, eating, lying in bed doing absolutely nothing..."

Criminal Investigation Detachment Captain Wu Xiuli stepped into the ward, a cold smile on her face.

"This life is much more leisurely than that of a policeman."

He then looked around.

The ward is nicely decorated... much better than the one where Zhang Xing, the victim in the Green Forest City case, stayed.

The private bathroom is also neatly arranged, and on one side, there is a companion bed... a hospital bed found elsewhere.

As for the treatment...

At this point, all the sophisticated instruments inside the room disappeared, leaving only the most basic life monitoring instruments.

The injury was not caused by a sharp weapon, but by a blunt object. Blunt objects are not fatal; the key is subsequent care and recovery. "The injury is healing very well; he can eat and speak again."

Wu Xiuli didn't say anything. She pulled out a chair and sat down in front of Liu Guofu.

Immediately, he spoke calmly:

"Tell me the details of the rape case in Midori City."

"Are you going to confess on your own, or let the police interrogate you until they find out?"

Upon hearing this...

On the bed, Liu Guofu and Yan Fei exchanged a glance, both seeing the apprehension and doubt in each other's eyes.

Is this an interrogation?

That doesn't make sense.

Why would the police interrogate me?!

Liu Guofu was surprised, and then a look of vigilance appeared on his face.

Yan Fei, with a lighthearted smile on her face, stood up and said:

"Officer Wu, Officer Wu, let's have some water first, and talk this out."

talking.

Yan Fei paused, took a glass of water and handed it to Wu Xiuli, then added:

"My child is really sick. He doesn't remember anything about Green Forest City, and besides..."

"He has just woken up, and the doctor said it's not advisable for him to overexert himself."

child?

The moment those words were spoken, Wu Xiuli retorted directly:

"A 38-year-old child!?"

"Haha, in two years, he'll be older than I am now, and you're telling me he's still a child!?"

The police officers behind him also showed a hint of contempt in their eyes, clearly indicating their disdain.

Liu Guofu is 38 years old this year.

Yan Fei still treats him like a child...

The victim is even younger than the other party!

"Alright, Ms. Yan, you're not mentally ill."

"Chinese law clearly stipulates that 18 years of age is an adult and requires one to bear full criminal responsibility."

"We also asked the nurses before entering your ward."

Wu Xiuli had an attitude of getting to the bottom of things.

"The nurse made it clear that asking the question would not affect Mr. Liu's recovery."

"Now, I'll ask, you answer. We don't need to ramble on about anything else, understand?"

The words were spoken.

Yan Fei's expression turned noticeably ugly, and her eyes, which had been somewhat kind just moments before, became filled with resentment.

Liu Guofu suddenly panicked. He tried to turn over, but the moment he moved, a sharp pain shot through his abdomen, causing him to visibly visibly tremble.

As he sobbed in pain, the image of the police interrogation in front of him echoed in his ears.

"The first question."

"Mr. Liu, at 3:30 a.m. on February 18th."

"At the Ninth General Hospital, the perpetrator, Zhang Yue, used a voice recorder to record some details of the case."

Wu Xiuli stared at Liu Guofu expressionlessly.

She ignored Yan Fei and slowly said:

"I don't need to say more about what was recorded; you should know in your heart."

"You were previously in a coma, but now you've recovered. I think... you can give me an answer regarding the recording."

Is this true?

Hospital?

The voice recorder that I smashed myself!?

Liu Guofu was startled and horrified. He remembered clearly smashing the pen into pieces.

How can you record your own voice like that?!

"No... wait, she's bluffing me!?"

Liu Guofu was startled and looked up, only to meet Wu Xiuli's calm eyes. He suddenly felt a little guilty.

"I...I must have been talking nonsense..." Liu Guofu said vaguely.

Wu Xiuli smiled slightly.

"Nonsense?"

She paused slightly, then changed the subject, saying:

"However, after we contacted the local police in Green Forest City..."

"Objectively speaking, what you said is not just random talk. Every word you said can be corroborated by evidence found at the scene!" "How do you explain that?"

Liu Guofu revealed the details very thoroughly.

From these detailed words, the Midori City police also found a lot of corroborating evidence.

While it cannot prove the spirit of the recording, it can prove the authenticity of the recording!

"I...I don't remember..."

Liu Guofu's breathing became somewhat heavy.

Can not remember?

"it is good."

"Xiao Li, write down what you just said."

Wu Xiuli spoke to the police officers on one side, clearly intending for them to write down her words.

then.

She then turned her gaze to Liu Guofu.

"The second question."

"Mr. Liu."

"Do you remember Ms. Liu Jie?"

Wu Xiuli suddenly spoke again, and the name she uttered sounded somewhat familiar.

Liu Guofu, however, couldn't quite remember.

It doesn't matter.

"That's right, you're at the alley entrance, ready to be the first person to rape."

"Guess what the other party said after the police played your recording?"

A faint smile appeared on Wu Xiuli's face.

What did the other person say?

Liu Jie. Is that the Liu Jie who ran away?!

The other party is the only person besides Zhang Er who knows the truth about the case!

Did she confess? No... I don't think so... No...

How could that selfish woman possibly confess? At most, she'd try to absolve herself, saying things like "I don't remember" or "I got it all mixed up!" But...

Looking at Wu Xiuli's expression, Liu Guofu suddenly became uncertain and could only swallow hard.

"I...I really don't remember any of that..."

"Mr. Liu has forgotten quite a lot."

A hint of emotion appeared on Wu Xiuli's face.

It doesn't matter.

"Xiao Li, write this down again."

"Then, the third question."

"You were undergoing involuntary treatment at Ankang Hospital when the judicial system released you..."

"Why would someone commit attempted rape less than a month after being discharged from the hospital?"

Wu Xiuli clasped her hands together and spoke in a gentle tone.

The question that could be raised sent chills down Yan Fei's spine.

There is indeed a possibility of relapse after a period of mental illness.

but. ..

Let alone a year, he committed another crime in less than a month after being released. No matter how you look at it, there are serious problems.

"I."

"I."

Liu Guofu was speechless for a moment, then suddenly reached out and clutched his abdomen, his face showing pain.

"It hurts...it hurts so much, my stomach hurts so much..."

Seeing this, Yan Fei, standing to the side, looked anxious and stood up repeatedly, saying to the police officers:

"What are you all asking? Do you know my son is sick? Besides, he's not fully recovered yet!"

"Hurry up! I need to find a doctor to treat my injuries!"

Yan Fei made a gesture to drive them away.

But the three policemen remained motionless.

"Xiao Li, go find a doctor and have him check what's wrong with Mr. Liu."

Squad leader Wu Xiuli gave instructions to Officer Li.

She showed no sign of leaving; clearly, she was waiting for the doctor to finish examining her and for the patient to stop claiming pain before continuing her inquiries.

Immediately.

She looked at Liu Guofu lying on the bed again.

"Mr. Liu, please don't worry."

"Now that you're awake, how much time do we have between us...?"

"Very plentiful."

The three words fell.

Liu Guofu's face was extremely pale.

At the same time.

"Please think it over carefully."

"I know that the defendant, Zhang Da, has no assets to pay compensation."

"But... Attorney Xu, you are a lawyer, you should know that compensation is not based on whether you have assets now."

outside the ward.

In the corridor, separated from Liu Guofu and Wu Xiuli by a door.

Zhou Ning looked at Xu De, his words carrying a warning.

Upon hearing this...

Xu De did not speak, but instead watched as the other person frowned.

What is compensation?

As things stand, Zhang Da has nothing. Even if the judge awards an exorbitant amount of compensation, if the other party has no money, it's equivalent to zero loss. Is that right?

If Zhang Da were willing to be a homeless person for the rest of his life, then that would indeed be the case, with zero cost.

Even if the court enforces the judgment, it will not be able to recover much money for compensation.

But don't forget... people evolve!

Zhang Da has nothing now, but what about after the case is over?

She needs to go to work, take part-time jobs, and earn a salary so that she can break free from the homeless community and become better off.

But on this path to becoming better...

There will be a "compensation payment" hanging over our heads.

Once the court ruling is finalized, even if you don't have money now, if you earn two thousand a month in the future, you'll have to set aside five hundred, or even a thousand, for compensation! The compensation won't disappear.

It will only be fulfilled later, through a process of gradual torment!

"Indeed, our client will also compensate Zhang Xing with a sum of money."

"But the amounts of compensation paid by the two parties are completely different."

Zhou Ning then changed the subject.

Want to swap compensation payments?

For example, Liu Guofu compensates Zhang Er, and Zhang Er then gives the money to Zhang Da, who in turn compensates Liu Guofu. In this way, no one makes a profit.

No, Zhang Er has no aftereffects or disability, so the compensation will not be much.

But Liu Guofu is different.

He was at least a level four disabled person, and subsequently, as his kidney function declined...

It's not impossible for him to be classified as a level three disability!

How much will that cost?

Mr. Liu has an urban household registration.

"According to the Civil Code and local personal injury standards."

"You are entitled to a level four disability and must compensate us 118600 yuan."

"If it's a level three disability, you'll have to compensate us 135550 yuan!"

"This doesn't even include medical expenses, nursing care expenses, and living expenses for dependents."

"Have you calculated how much this costs in total?"

As soon as Zhou Ning opened his mouth, a series of compensation payments were made public.

"Level four disability, totaling 28.8!"

"A level three disability, or even 34!"

There's a hellish joke.

The compensation for disability is higher than that for death.

If a person loses their life, the compensation is usually around 15 yuan.

But for a level 2 disability, the pay can be more than doubled, reaching 34!

"Even if the compensation is reduced, how much can it be reduced? Even if it's halved, it's only 17 yuan."

"In the future, if she pays back 1,000 yuan a month, it will take her 14 years!"

"And right now, the average monthly salary is less than a thousand."

Zhou Ning has completely abandoned all pretense of civility and has begun to openly threaten the client with their livelihood resources.

"Unless, the defendant Zhang Yue..."

"Completely give up on pursuing a better life and live a life without income."

Court-mandated compensation... Some might think it's just a phone call to urge you on?

No.

Forced compensation is truly forced!

If you don't pay, they'll bring the police to your door, and if you don't open it, they'll break it down.

They will then forcibly evict you, conduct an appraisal, and have the court auction your property. The proceeds from the auction will be used to compensate you directly.

What? You only have cash? What can you do?

Sell ​​whatever you see!

You can't possibly stop buying a kettle altogether, can you? If you dare to buy one, the court will dare to sell it!

"You're still threatening me."

"Or rather, you are acting on behalf of lawyer Yang Bing to force the other party to sign a letter of understanding."

Xu De shook his head; he sensed the blatant coercion.

"No, this is not a threat!"

Anger welled up in Zhou Ning's heart, but he still managed to suppress it.

He needs to get Zhang Er under control.

If we can get Zhang Er under control, then we can directly say that Liu Guofu is not mentally ill and that he was just attempting rape.

Given Zhang Er's understanding that Liu Guofu was seriously injured and had lost his fingers and ears due to being bitten by the other party, there was no way he would be sentenced.

and then.

They then admitted that Liu Guofu did indeed commit rape at the Ninth Hospital.

However, the rape attempt still failed, and it didn't even reach the level of indecent assault, so the court will not sentence him.

in this way.

There's no need to go back to Ankang Hospital.

They also do not need to face excessively severe criminal penalties.

The chain reaction will allow Liu Guofu to escape punishment!

"this."

Zhou Ning was just about to say something.

Unexpectedly, the door to the ward beside him was suddenly pushed open.

"Squeak~"

Wu Xiuli and two policemen walked out of the ward. Before leaving, Wu Xiuli stopped and looked back into the ward.

"Mr. Liu, please rest assured and recover. We will come again tomorrow."

The words were spoken.

Wu Xiuli then closed the door and stepped outside.

See here.

Zhou Ning paused, then changed the wording he was about to say, and began:

"This is good for us all!"

"Attorney Xu, please think it over carefully."

The words were spoken.

Zhou Ning said nothing more. He gave Xu De a deep look, then turned around with Fan He and hurriedly went back to the ward.

Xu De did not linger.

He and Yang Bing left with the police.

Hospital lobby.

"Tsk, they're really stubborn," Officer Li remarked.

Another policeman scoffed, "Hmph, they won't shed a tear until they see the coffin!"

Wu Xiuli didn't say anything, but instead turned her head to look at Xu De, who was deep in thought beside her.

"What's wrong, Attorney Xu? What problem did you encounter?"

She stopped in her tracks and looked at the other person with a puzzled expression.

"It's nothing, just some issues involving the police."

Xu De snapped out of his daze, looked at the other person, and shook his head.

"What's the problem?"

Wu Xiuli said enthusiastically, "Maybe I can help you."

Xu De was silent for a moment, then spoke, "Captain Wu, tell me, if someone's age is problematic, from what angle should it be corrected?" Wu Xiuli pondered for a moment before replying:

"It's very simple. The police, the courts, and the prosecutor's office can all do it."

"No, I mean, how did they find the evidence to make corrections..."

Xu De shook his head.

Zhang Yue... also known as Zhang Da, the other party's aunt is very irresponsible, and her age... could actually be a problem.

If it can be corrected, the compensation... let alone 34, even 4 cents, Zhang Da wouldn't need to pay compensation!

Being a minor is amazing.

But the reality is...

Wu Xiuli hesitated and said, "It depends. Generally, if there are biological parents and social evidence, it's basically..."

"If the biological parents are already dead, the hospital can't find any evidence of the birth."

"Furthermore, the sole guardian has absconded with the money and disappeared abroad more than ten years ago!?"

Xu De asked again.

Upon hearing this...

Wu Xiuli was taken aback. She stroked her chin and pondered for a long time before finally frowning and shaking her head.

"impossible."

"Under these conditions... age cannot be corrected!"

Xu De frowned. "Is there absolutely no possibility?"

"It's not absolute, but the probability..."

Wu Xiuli spoke seriously:

"Infinitely close to zero, at the level of one in a billion!"

From a realistic and pragmatic perspective, no one can change this person's age!
