Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Wei Xiao looked at the evidence, but couldn't see anything strange about it for a long time. In the end, he simply turned around and left the court.

"What if they resort to some underhanded tricks again...?"

"Never mind, take it to Attorney Fan for a look."

at the same time.

Sichuan, Chengdu, West China Hospital.

6th floor, 611.

The intensive care unit where Liu Guofu is located.

"Attorney Ding, I'm so sorry to have troubled you... Sigh, this time it was truly an unexpected setback, I made a basic mistake, otherwise it wouldn't have come to this." "Attorney Fan, don't underestimate yourself. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, even top-tier lawyers can't guarantee a 100% success rate..." "That's true, but... I'm still sorry to have troubled you."

Intensive Care Unit.

Liu Guofu's condition is becoming more and more stable. At this moment, he is lying in bed with many of the instruments around him removed. He no longer cries out in pain and is just lying in bed, sleeping.

Liu Guofu is not going to die.

Of course, this refers to the fact that the other party is out of immediate danger of death.

Over a long period of time... not to mention other damage, just the damage to both kidneys alone...

Without a kidney transplant, the condition of his only kidney is deteriorating daily, and at most... ten years? With luck, he might live for 10 years. At this point...

Inside the intensive care unit, four lawyers were gathered around.

Two of the familiar faces were Fan He and Zhou Ning, and there were two other unfamiliar faces.

"They're all acquaintances. It's just a favor, a little analysis of the case. It won't take much time."

Lawyer Ding Yan spoke in a gentle voice, with his intern lawyer standing to one side.

"Moreover."

"This is also a good opportunity for me to bring my apprentices here to gain experience and feel the process and atmosphere of criminal cases."

Upon hearing this, Fan He's face showed bitterness.

Ding Yan is a lawyer in Haicheng, in his thirties, very young. He is the team leader at a boutique law firm and is a classmate of Fan He.

Fan He was at his wit's end. There were only four days left before the court hearing, but he hadn't finished processing his information yet, so he had to ask someone for help.

only.....

"Attorney Fan, I'm curious... what kind of lawyer could drive you to this point?"

As Ding Yan spoke, a hint of doubt appeared on his face.

He turned his head and glanced at Zhou Ning to the side, his surprise deepening.

Although Fan He is a senior lawyer, Zhou Ning is only a bottom-ranked gold medalist.

However... their abilities, placed in Haicheng, are actually at an upper-tier level.

Even if a gold medal is the worst, it's still a gold medal. There's no reason for it to be defeated by some lawyer who pops up out of nowhere... "This..."

Fan He hesitated. He didn't have time to investigate the other party, and he did have some doubts about the matter at the moment.

"The other party really is from Green Forest City," Zhou Ning said.

Green Forest City?

Ding Yan thought for a while before the image of this small city came to mind, and he immediately raised an eyebrow.

When did Green Forest City get a lawyer like this?!

Just as he was about to continue questioning, he suddenly...

"Knock knock knock~"

A sudden knocking sound came from the door.

Everyone turned to look at the main entrance of the ward, and Yan Fei spoke:

"Enter."

The words were spoken.

The ward's main door was pushed open, and a young figure appeared in the doorway, clutching something in his hand.

Upon seeing the visitor, Fan He was about to nod, but after glancing at the documents in the other person's hand... his heart suddenly tightened, and he subconsciously asked, "Has the defendant presented evidence?"

"Evidence has been presented; evidence has been presented in both cases."

Wei Xiao closed the door and spoke.

The person who arrived was Wei Xiao. He had rushed back to the court from the Intermediate People's Court, still clutching a pile of files in his hand.

Evidence was provided...

Two cases still!

It was as if an invisible giant hand was gripping Fan He and Zhou Ning's hearts tightly.

The two men's hearts skipped a beat. Without bothering to exchange pleasantries with Ding Yan, they quickly walked to Wei Xiao's side and took the evidence.

"Sizzle!"

The file was opened, and the two quickly scanned it.

Ding Yan stood to one side, glancing sideways, and his brows furrowed slightly the moment his gaze fell upon the file.

[Zhang Yue, female... went missing, adopted by a homeless man when she was 4 years old, and lived a homeless life ever since...][. ......]

This is..

"Basic information?"

Fan He paused slightly, his face showing deep doubt, his brows furrowing into a knot.

Unconvinced, he turned the page again and continued reading, only to discover that the file... was indeed basic information!

"Something's wrong. There are only four days left until the trial..."

"What is he doing? It's a completely unnecessary thing to do; what's the point?"

"These things are nothing more than compiling all the existing official archival evidence into a single document. What's the point?"

Fan He's heart sank to the bottom.

He glanced at the documents in Zhou Ning's hand again.

However, they discovered that the only difference between the materials the two were holding was that the person in question had been changed from Zhang Yue to Zhang Xing; otherwise, there were no other differences! Most importantly...

The basic information is fine, but it's as if the other party is describing two people unrelated to the case from a second-person perspective.

He wasn't even willing to connect the two pieces of information to the two parties involved!

What is Xu De doing?

What's the point of bringing up their entire life stories?

"Suffering? His parents died when he was three, and his guardian absconded with the money when he was four. He wandered around for more than ten years..." Zhou Ning hesitated and suggested a possibility.

"In this case, regarding mental illness, the other party could not find any evidence to prove that the crime was committed during a period of mental illness."

"Therefore, the judge's discretion is even more necessary!"

In a case where the problem objectively exists but no evidence can be produced, the outcome largely depends on the judge's personal judgment.

If the judge deems the issue true, it can be used even without evidence, and vice versa.

In this case...

"Is he trying to influence the judge's decision?" Zhou Ning asked in surprise.

He and Fan He looked at it for a long time, but they couldn't see anything wrong with it. It was just the suffering and personal information of two sisters. What use could this thing be?

As for Ding Yan...

One side.

Lawyer Ding Yan suddenly frowned; he felt something was off.

This evidence...

It's too peaceful, so peaceful it feels eerily so.

until..

"Why, in a case where there's only one defendant, do they have to provide information on two people?"

Ding Yan took the materials from Fan He and spoke with suspicion.

In the Ninth Hospital case, the perpetrator was only Zhang Da, but Xu De also submitted Zhang Er's information in this case.

"Which one is the defendant?" Ding Yan asked.

"It's this one named Zhang Yue," Fan He said, pointing to one of them.

Ding Yan then asked, "You can tell the difference!?"

His tone was quite surprised, and he stared blankly at the other person.

Judging from this document...

The parties involved in both cases had been homeless, especially the two who were homeless when they were 4 years old!

to be frank.

At four years old... most people don't actually know their own name at that age.

Why?

Because in addition to their formal name, parents, relatives, and neighbors all call the child by their nickname in daily life.

It's usually not until elementary school, when teachers ask for one's name, that one truly learns their legal name.

This information.

A four-year-old child starts wandering; theoretically, the other party should have no information about him at all.

Ding Yan was curious as to how the other party could distinguish which party was Zhang Yue and which party was Zhang Xing.

In this regard.

Fan He didn't think much of it and casually said:

"The two sisters are named Zhang Da and Zhang Er."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yan was taken aback, still somewhat suspicious:

I'm referring to objective evidence.

"Objective evidence, objective evidence is..."

Fan He nodded, about to speak, but suddenly fell silent.

His expression froze, and he stood there, speechless.

like..

There is no objective evidence!

"No, that's not right!"

Fan He and Zhou Ning reacted instantly.

At that moment, the two of them seemed to suddenly awaken from their daze, as if enlightened, and they had finally understood the mystery of the womb. Then they looked down sharply.

Upon seeing this, Ding Yan was suddenly taken aback and took half a step back, saying:

"There must be some evidence!?"

Fan He and Zhou Ning looked like they had eaten shit, their faces grim, and they kept scanning the files with their heads down.

Ding Yan pressed further:

"How did you, and the judicial system, determine the identities of these two people!?"

Neither lawyer spoke.

Upon hearing this, Wei Xiao, who was in charge of collecting the materials, spoke softly:

"The two parties involved are named Zhang Da and Zhang Er."

"When the name was confirmed by the judicial authorities, Zhang Da also confirmed his sister's identity, so it was Zhang Yue."

What is this?

This is "common sense".

That's a common-sense mistake!

There's a mystery novel that deals with common-sense errors.

It is called "Points and Lines".

When you see two dots on a blank sheet of paper, your mind will subconsciously connect the two dots.

such as.

Two bodies, a man and a woman, were found on the beach.

People often subconsciously link the two together, assuming they are lovers, spouses, or died for love... But what is the reality? There is no objective evidence to prove that the two had a relationship.

This is what points and lines are.

When you see two dots, you subconsciously connect them together.

"In other words..."

"Her name is Zhang Da, and she has an older sister..."

"So, the judiciary and you subconsciously connect these two pieces of information?"

Identity authentication errors caused by habitual thinking.

Subconsciously, I divided "big" and "one" into older sister and younger sister based on common sense and logic.

Since neither of them objected, they went to court as separate individuals. This was like a bubble, incredibly beautiful, but... easily burst.

"The problem is, the person in question is purely subjective, believing themselves to be the older sister!"

Ding Yan was startled.

Before the court hearing.

Zhang Da and Zhang Er, along with the judicial authorities, confirmed their identities as Zhang Yue and Zhang Xing.

Is this useful? Do you feel that once it's confirmed, it absolutely has to be used?

You're mistaken.

In the legal system, any objective information will be judged solely on your evidence, not your subjective opinions!

If identity can be verified subjectively... then the most prevalent profession in this world would be "scapegoating".

It was no use for Zhang Da to admit it.

There needs to be objective evidence to support his subjective opinion!

Fan He and Zhou Ning both fell into the trap of habitual thinking.

The two of them were involved in the case the longest.

She also had the most contact with the identity of "Zhang Da Zhang Er", which clearly shows that she subconsciously distinguished the sisters' identities.

But Dingyan is different.

He just arrived!

There's absolutely no such conventional way of thinking about it!

"Identity information cannot be verified... This document is intended to exacerbate the problem of 'unable to verify identity'!"

Fan He kept glancing at the documents in his hand, his face growing increasingly grim, and shock flashing in his eyes.

Ding Yan's heart tightened.

How many laws allow identity information to be used as a defense?

First, age; second, physical condition.

The latter is mentally ill, as Xu De has already mentioned.

That leaves only the former...

How old are the two people?

Seven words fell.

The two men's faces turned green and purple, various colors, until finally they became as black as the bottom of a pot.

Fan He gritted his teeth and forced out a sentence.

"Older sister is 18, younger sister..."

"17 years old!"

17岁？

That is, he was underage, and on February 18, 2003, the day he seriously injured Liu Guofu...

One of the two identities involves a minor!

Almost instinctively, Ding Yan blurted out a legal provision:

Article 4 of the Law on the Protection of Minors states: "The protection of minors shall adhere to the principle of the best interests of the minors."

"The first clause in handling matters concerning minors is..."

talking.

Ding Yan paused for a moment, then continued.

A sum of money that sent chills down the spines of the lawyers present came to mind.

"Giving special privileges to minors..."

"Priority protection!"

Priority protection...priority...

The moment those four words fell.

Ding Yan quickly spoke up:

"A trap! It's a trap!"

"Now that the issue of identity has been brought to the forefront, the court can no longer conduct the trial based on the original identity, in accordance with Article 4, Paragraph 1."

"Given the defendant's unclear identity, they will not be tried in court as an adult... but as a minor!" "Opponent's lawyer..."

"He wants to completely exonerate the defendant!"

Exonerated. Completely exonerated!

Laws that hold mental illness individuals partially responsible...

It has a self-defense nature.

Minors...

The three most flawed defense arguments were somehow put together by the opposing side!

What verdict will the court deliver based on this kind of defense testimony?

Probation? There's a very high chance it will be probation!

What is probation?

Probation means leniency without punishment!

A two-year suspended sentence means you will be sentenced to two years, with a three-year reprieve, which means you will be sentenced to two more years in prison after that.

However, if you don't break the law during this three-year reprieve, then you won't need to serve another two years in prison; your sentence will be wiped clean. Essentially, you'll be innocent!

Let alone two years, it could be ten years!

Think back to the past ten years. Have you committed any crimes that would land you in jail? No, the vast majority of people won't commit a crime in ten years! So...

"This is not basic information material that has been summarized and organized..."

Ding Yan looked at the files in Fan He and Zhou Ning's hands, and his eyes twitched.

"This is well-reasoned, logically sound, and thought-provoking..."

"Not guilty plea!!!"

The moment the words were spoken.

A chill ran down everyone's spine, and a sense of unease crept into their hearts.

At this moment, the look in their eyes as they looked at the two documents was clearly filled with shock and horror.

Wei Xiao felt a chill run down her spine, her throat went dry, and she unconsciously took a step back.

He stared at the document, having studied it for several tens of minutes, and found it to be nothing special.

trap.

This is a trap!

It is a millstone that grinds everyone alive, crushing blood and flesh, a bloody and deadly trap!

And they...

I almost stepped inside without knowing anything about it.

"How."

"What do we do!?"
