Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

From a practical standpoint, it's impossible to correct this person's age...

Wu Xiuli paused, looked at the young man in front of her, and her tone softened slightly.

"Attorney Xu, are you referring to Zhang Da, the defendant in the Chengdu case? She..."

"Based on the information you have provided so far, it is difficult to correct the age, and you don't even have the basis to raise any doubts."

"Not to mention, the crime was committed in Chengdu, but the evidence of the defendant's life was found in Lusen City, and the local police could not find any information about it." Wu Xiuli is the head of the criminal investigation team in CD City.

She herself is a cadre in the police system, so she knows all too well the power of the police.

Let alone enforcing the law across provinces two thousand kilometers apart.

Even when subordinates are enforcing the law in other districts, they have to submit reports and go through procedures in advance. Enforcing the law in other cities requires even more work, including holding meetings and submitting reports layer by layer. The hassle is no big deal.

Most importantly...

Just as she just said.

Putting aside any moral or emotional factors, from a purely realistic perspective, the police simply cannot verify an age.

"Unless, Attorney Xu, you can remove one of the conditions you gave."

Wu Xiuli spoke slowly.

"For example... you can find the defendant's parents... well, their guardians will also work."

"Furthermore, we need to get the other party to admit that their age is problematic, and even find evidence to support that."

The words were spoken.

Xu De frowned, crossed his arms, and looked thoughtful.

Beside him.

Lawyer Yang Bing looked on in astonishment.

Based on the information provided by Captain Wu, ...this is absolutely impossible!

Find the guardian, get them to talk, and submit evidence...

1. The other party is overseas, and you don't even know which state or region they are in... They might even be dead!

2. Assuming there really is an issue with the age... and the other party committed the crime themselves, over a decade ago, and then casually admits to the crime and willingly accepts punishment. 3. Over a decade has passed, and there is no objective evidence.

You need to do these three things before the court hearing.

When will the case go to trial? I don't know, but the court won't drag it out for too long.

There is actually nothing to question in the current trial. The court only needs to hold a meeting to discuss and resolve the two existing issues before proceeding with the trial.

It is estimated that it will not take more than half a month.

In general...

"That's impossible!"

Yang Bing sighed and spoke directly, denying the suggestion in a negative tone.

Wu Xiuli showed no expression; she shook her head slightly. "Maybe? Perhaps it will appear."

Nothing is absolute within the system. Although the probability of accomplishing this is extremely small, even a one in a billion probability is still a probability, isn't it? It's infinitely close to 0, but it's not equal to 0.

"Attorney Xu, you can continue with your work. I'll head back now."

Wu Xiuli stopped discussing the matter and led her people away.

"In the next few days, I will set aside two hours each day to lead a team to find Liu Guofu."

"If there's any progress, I'll let you know... um, I'll let you know, I'll let you know, if it involves your case, the police will notify you." He finished speaking.

The Jinjiang District police team quickly left West China Hospital.

Wait until the other person's figure disappears.

Yang Bingcai withdrew his gaze and turned his eyes to Xu De.

He began:

"Attorney Xu, it's getting late. You should go and get some rest. I'll handle things with the police."

Xu De felt somewhat tired.

He nodded slightly, not forcing himself to continue, and after responding, turned and walked towards the ward.

Zhang Er's ward is on the 7th floor.

Xu De stepped into the elevator, his expression silent. During the process of being pulled to the seventh floor, he did not show any emotion.

Even when he returned to the door of ward 712, he showed no expression.

"Squeak~"

He pushed open the ward door.

Lin Yue appeared before him and changed Zhang Er's dressing.

She tiptoed, stretching her slender waist like a calico cat stretching.

Xu De stepped inside, looked around, and asked:

"Where is Qian Hao?"

"Attorney Qian? Oh, Attorney Qian went out to buy food."

"Now that Zhang Er has woken up and is able to feed himself, what he ate before is no longer suitable."

Lin Yue put down her heels and looked at him as she replied.

Upon seeing Xu De's calm face, she immediately sensed that something was amiss.

He hesitated for a moment, then lowered his eyes and tentatively asked:

"Did something happen to Liu Guofu?"

"It wasn't unexpected; it was anticipated, but there was no solution."

Xu De shook his head.

Currently, it seems that Liu Guofu is under a lot of pressure.

If, before the verdict, the other party determines the disability level to be Level 3... Zhang Da will face a staggering 34 yuan in standard compensation! Self-defense?

No, first of all, her actions were defensive in nature, not fully justifiable self-defense. If she did not have a mental illness, at most she could be charged with excessive self-defense.

Excessive self-defense requires compensation, as does committing a crime while mentally ill.

The difference is that you will only lose less money.

This fell into Zhou Ning's hands: even if the compensation is less, how could it be less than half?

Even 17 is an astronomical compensation!

Not to mention, this was 17 in 2003, which in 2026... is equivalent to at least 50!

She had no money, no money, so she would have to use the rest of her life to pay for it...

"I."

Lin Yue pursed her lips, looking at the other person. Her eyebrows slightly raised, and a hint of pitiful worry flickered in her eyes, her serene face revealing a tender expression. She clenched her hands and placed them on her full chest, speaking softly:

"I...can I help?"

"Not needed for now."

Xu De shook his head, then turned his gaze to Zhang Er on the bed.

He remained silent for a moment.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Second brother, do you still have any memories of your childhood?"

"I mean, things like your age and the relatives you know."

The words were spoken.

Zhang Er paused, pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head:

"I only have my aunt and uncle... I don't remember what they look like."

"What year?" Lin Yue helped recall, "Do you remember what year it was when you were five or six years old?"

"I don't remember... I just remember living for a very, very long time, but I don't know which year it was..."

Zhang Er whispered.

She and Zhang Da started living as homeless people when they were very young.

During their wandering days, the two had no specific timeframe for "years," only that time was passing.

"Are you sure there isn't any left? Let me think about it some more!?"

Lin Yue whispered.

Zhang Er frowned, trying hard to recall, her head throbbing with pain, but she endured it, remaining silent and continuing to try, but she couldn't remember anything. Xu De noticed a trace of pain in her eyes and spoke:

"Alright, let's rest first. I'll figure out a way to handle the case."

Just now.

The door to room 712 was pushed open again.

"Squeak~"

Qian Wu walked in, smiling, carrying large and small bags, and holding up a square box.

"Surprise!"

The box is transparent, and inside is a cream cake.

"Haha, it's been three months! I specially ordered this cake from the bakery this afternoon. How is it? Surprised?"

Qian Wu laughed heartily and placed the cake on the table.

Zhang Er stared intently at the cake in the other person's hand, his gaze fixed on it, filled with surprise and wonder.

"Let's eat first."

Xu De spoke up.

The words were spoken.

The ward was filled with a warm atmosphere, unlike the frenzied birthday celebrations of later generations; instead, it was rather cozy.

They were just eating cake in a gentle atmosphere.

After finishing their meal, everyone prepared to rest.

Night fell quickly.

The once bustling scene outside the window gradually darkened, and the neon lights of various buildings lit up, shimmering in the night. Qian Wu left and checked into a hotel.

Xu De stayed behind to take care of Lin Yue. Lin Yue slept on a folding bed, while Xu De slept on a makeshift bed on the floor.

It's 11:30 at night.

A soft rustling sound rang out, and Xu De opened his eyes and got up from the ground.

But then they saw Zhang Er squatting in front of the bedside table, doing something.

"Ahem. What are you doing?"

Xu De coughed first, which didn't seem too abrupt or stimulating, and then spoke, his voice very clear in the quiet ward.

Zhang Er was startled and immediately turned around, only to see Xu De standing up and looking at her.

"I... this... which one..."

Zhang Er was speechless, unsure of what to say. Xu De also remained silent, simply watching her.

After a long while, she handed over the two cakes she had been hiding, as if she had done something wrong.

"I...I want to bring this to Zhang Da..."

She spoke softly, paused for a moment, and then continued:

"This is sweet...she's never had it before."

The words were spoken.

The ward was silent for a long time, then a sigh was heard.

"The cake won't last that long."

"Zhang Da, come out here. I'll buy you a new one. Now, climb into bed and get some sleep!" Xu De said.

"oh."

Zhang Er obediently climbed back into his hospital bed and lay down under the covers.

A moment later, she quietly opened her eyes again.

But she found that Xu De was still standing at the foot of the bed watching her.

After her little scheme was exposed, she pulled up the blanket and buried her head in it.

After a long while, a soft, long breath came from the bed.

Inside the dark hospital room.

Xu De stood there, watching silently, his face expressionless.

"Don't stand there, go to sleep."

Suddenly, a voice came from one side.

Xu De snapped out of his daze and turned to look.

But then I saw...

In the darkness, another pair of eyes shone.

It was Lin Yue, lying on her side sleeping on the folding bed.

The other person was lying on their side on the bed. They slightly raised their head, looked at Xu De standing at the foot of the bed, and whispered:

"Let's go to sleep... um, or you can sleep in the bed?"

Xu De said, "Go to sleep."

Lin Yue raised an eyebrow slightly and whispered, "I can let you squeeze in and sleep together."

talking.

She patted the larger folding bed beneath her.

Xu De shook his head.

"You go to sleep, I can't sleep."

"Um."

Lin Yue didn't try to persuade her any further.

One of the two people needs to be energetic. There's no need to persuade the other person if they don't want to sleep; they can only try to conserve their own energy.

Xu De did not return to his makeshift bed.

He sat in the chair behind him, silently staring at the wall, the details of the case flashing through his mind.

They can pursue accountability, but the price is Zhang Da, who will have to live a life constantly being chased by debt collectors.

Either provide a letter of understanding, and the other party will reciprocate with a letter of understanding, while simultaneously waiving the right to pursue compensation.

but..

Xu De looked at the soundly sleeping Zhang Er, then at the judicial officer, who was now in a light sleep... He also noticed the injury on the back of the other's head.

He sat quietly in the chair like a stone statue, blending into the inanimate objects around him.

Four o'clock in the morning.

Xu De, who was as still as a stone statue, suddenly trembled his eyelashes.

His eyes narrowed, and at that moment...

A touch more determination appeared!

He didn't want to give the money.

He didn't want Zhang Da to bear the blame.

Just as Xu Decheng had said to Lin Yue when he first met her after taking on the defense of the Lijiacun case.

He is a very greedy person.

Xu De chose... to have them all!

"Haicheng lawyer, huh... From a purely financial standpoint, he certainly grasped the crux of the case."

"pity."

Inside the ward, Xu De looked out the dimly lit window, having already made up his mind and knowing what he had to do.

"I'm the kind of person who won't shed a tear until I see the coffin."

at the same time.

at the same time.

4 month 3 day.

It's 10 a.m.

It was almost noon.

In Chengdu, Sichuan, the Intermediate People's Court shows no signs of taking a break.

All the senior judges, heads of various departments, the presiding judge of the criminal division, and even the president and vice president of the Intermediate People's Court gathered in a deliberation room. "Let's all express our opinions and discuss how we view the Ninth Hospital case."

Inside the deliberation room.

The vice dean, seated at the head of the table, spoke, and a voice rang in everyone's ears.

This is the deliberation room.

As the saying goes, important matters are discussed in small meetings, and minor matters are discussed in large meetings. Although there are not many people in the deliberation room, the configuration far exceeds that of an ordinary deliberation panel.

This is the review committee!

Regarding the Ninth Hospital case, the Chengdu Intermediate People's Court convened a judicial committee meeting for discussion, with all senior staff members of the court participating. "President Meng, please share your views," the vice president said, looking at Meng Junfeng.

Sitting at the head of the table, Meng Junfeng remained expressionless. Upon hearing this, he slowly spoke:

"You all already know pretty much everything about the Ninth Hospital case."

"The case is stuck on two crucial issues. Currently, neither the prosecution, the legal representatives, nor the defense lawyers have been able to produce any more evidence."

"The case is stuck, and the trial process is difficult to advance..."

Meng Junfeng and his team have been racking their brains for the past two days trying to come up with a good solution to this case, but they just can't think of any good one.

Left with no other option, the review committee was convened.

Inside the deliberation room, everyone already had a good understanding of the case, and upon hearing the question, they fell into deep thought.

Courts generally consider two types of cases when hearing them.

First, conviction; second, sentencing.

The former is evidence of a crime; there is clear surveillance video of the crime at the Ninth Hospital, and neither party has denied it, so there's no problem. However, the latter, sentencing...

Meng Junfeng, dressed in a judge's robe, paused for a moment, then sat down in the main seat and spoke in a deep voice:

"On two crucial issues in the case, neither the prosecution, the legal representatives, nor the defense lawyers have been able to produce any further evidence."

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, there will be no further information!"

Upon hearing this...

The people present frowned, their eyes revealing deep thought.

They knew.

Both sides were stuck on "proving whether or not the illness has occurred".

The situation is relatively good for Liu Guofu, the victim in the case. He is conscious and can be subjected to a mental evaluation at any time.

Even if he really was sick, there's a very high chance he wasn't having a seizure during the time of the incident.

A judge's discretionary judgment can lead to a conviction.

But the defendant....

The other party's situation is much more complicated.

"Everyone, what are your thoughts?" Meng Junfeng asked.
