In ancient times, there was a siege tactic called "surrounding three sides and leaving one side open".

This refers to a square city that surrounds three of its gates, leaving the defenders with an escape route.

What's the purpose of this road? To let the city guards escape!

Yes, if there is even the slightest hope of survival, you will find that your siege is going very smoothly.

If all four city gates are blocked, forcing the enemy to hold out...

Then you need to be prepared to face battle reports of extremely high casualties.

In this case, that's the current situation!

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Fan He let out a low, angry roar, and then left the hall with a gloomy face.

They're leaving us no way out, not even a settlement or compensation...

If you can't do it, the other party shouldn't expect to have an easy time either!

The evidence presented by the other party was indeed solid enough, and the information formed a "three-in-one" whole, with each point supported by evidence, yet it just so happened to fall right on the line of judicial "safety net".

A series of chain reactions, just like a match-3 puzzle, instantly wiped out Zhang Da's crimes!

But the words came back again.

Too much too!

What if we say... proof by contradiction?

The other party wants to be exonerated, and even wants someone admitted to Ankang Hospital... ...

Fan He aimed for this point!

The defendant, Zhang Da, is suspected of having a mental illness? However, this cannot be confirmed, so he only meets the criteria of Article 18, Paragraph 3 of the Criminal Law, meaning he only needs to bear partial responsibility and needs to be admitted to Ankang Hospital.

The plaintiff directly uses the opposite evidence to prove that she is mentally ill!

If it's proven that he has a mental illness, Zhang Da will definitely be sent to Ankang Hospital for compulsory treatment. Since he has no guardian, the treatment will definitely take a long time! It's hard to imagine.

A criminal case.

The plaintiff was desperately trying to prove that the defendant was mentally ill.

But as Van He himself said.

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Inside the lobby.

"Attorney Ding, you..."

Zhou Ning was feeling mentally and physically exhausted.

He turned his head to the side and saw Ding Yan, who had been sitting in the chair without saying a word, about to say something.

Unexpectedly.

Ding Yan stood up, took a half step back, watched as he swallowed hard, and a sheepish expression appeared on his face.

At the same time, he mumbled incoherently:

"Um, Attorney Zhou... um..."

"Unfortunately, one of my clients just had an emergency and I need to go out with him."

"I'm heading back to Haicheng now..."

"Yes, Attorney Zhou."

"I'll be waiting for your triumphant return in Haicheng!"

The words were spoken.

Ding Yan remained calm, grabbed his apprentice, and turned to run away.

He walked very fast, and the intern he was pulling couldn't keep up, her steps even becoming unsteady. The closer they got to the hospital entrance, the faster she moved. "Whoosh!"

He pulled his apprentice along, walked out of the hospital, and disappeared from Zhou Ning's sight.

His pace slowed down, and he was finally able to relax.

"Phew~ Master, why are you walking so fast...."

The apprentice's chest heaved more dramatically as he asked, panting heavily.

Upon hearing this, Ding Yan's eyes twitched.

"Walk?"

"If I weren't concerned about saving face for the other person... I would have run away!"

Ding Yan walked towards the parking lot, cursing and swearing, saying as he went:

"Kid, let me tell you."

"In the legal profession, you may not know how to litigate, but you must know that when trouble comes... you have to run."

"If you're embarrassed because you're too proud to admit it, and you get put in a difficult position..."

"You'll behave when you're covered in blood!"

The apprentice was taken aback.

"Is it really that serious? We're just helping to organize the information."

He spoke weakly.

Ding Yan directly rejected the suggestion:

"Take a good look. The guy on the right with the newspaper is reading a newspaper that I noticed when I came here this morning. It's related to the case, and almost everyone in the hospital has one."

"And that guy in the hat in the parking lot... those damn reporters really don't even know how to pretend properly."

Following Ding Yan's directions.

The apprentice actually saw a few residents gathered together playing chess and chatting about the newspaper.

And a reporter who had just gotten off the bus and was organizing his equipment.

Ding Yan didn't turn his head, walking swiftly like the wind, and admonished:

"Let me tell you, even if we lose this case by a small margin, or the other side wins, it's fine; we can still get a piece of the action and make a little name for ourselves." "But if the stronger party... loses, or even suffers a crushing defeat, it will be a stain on your record for life!"

After a moment's thought...

Ding Yan felt a chill run down his spine.

He came to help, hoping to get a share of the profits. After all, this case has generated a lot of public attention, spreading throughout Sichuan, and countless eyes are watching. Even a little bit of fame could bring in tangible results.

Can..

Upon closer inspection, a quick glance at the case revealed something truly terrifying.

Ignoring the superstition, I looked at the information again and tried to investigate.

Even more terrifying!

Ding Yan turned and left, wishing he had two more legs!

What did he see? Horrible, utterly terrifying! Even Ding Yan would wake up in his dreams at night, dreading the image of Fan He and Zhou Ning, exclaiming that it was a nightmare! They were the ones with the advantage, after all.

The plaintiff is the party seeking accountability!

The party who was intentionally injured, attempted murder, and stabbed 17 times by someone who came to their door, and who was saved, was the one with the absolute advantage of being "disabled to the third degree"!

If this were any other criminal case, it wouldn't be surprising if the defendant were sentenced to death if the victim couldn't be saved.

But unfortunately...

The defendant is actually trying to get acquitted and avoid punishment!

The death penalty was being used to argue for the absence of punishment? Ding Yan had never seen anything so horrifying and terrifying in his life.

"Is it really that exaggerated..." the apprentice muttered, still shaken.

Ding Yan found his car, opened the door, and plopped down inside.

At the same time, it was warned that:

"It's even more exaggerated than you imagine!"

"Remember this: we don't have any powerful connections. If we want to become great lawyers, we can only rely on criminal cases."

"And a case like the Ninth Hospital's, which was a classic example of a disastrous failure despite being in a favorable position... this will haunt you throughout your entire career, nearly halving your future!"

"So, if you can leave, leave; if you can't leave, run; if you can't run, find someone to rescue you!"

Speaking of which...

Feeling the sense of security as the seatbelt is fastened around my body.

Ding Yan exhaled a deep breath, then turned around and glanced in the direction of the hospital with lingering fear.

"spray"

"Zhou Ning is really unlucky."

"This kind of case, which seems like a sure win... was actually managed to carve out a path out of thin air."

"We've run into a monster, tsk."

The words were spoken.

He sped off, flooring the accelerator, turning the car around and heading towards the highway, heading towards Haicheng.

hospital.

Inside the lobby.

Zhou Ning looked in the direction Ding Yan had left, and then lowered his outstretched hand.

His lips moved, but ultimately he couldn't speak, as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat.

Zhou Ning remained silent for a long time.

Ding Yan ran away, and he was indeed good at running away. If it were me, I would have run even faster than him. Besides, although he only came for a day, he provided a lot of help.

Otherwise, deceived by their habitual thinking, they are still unaware of the seriousness of the problem.

They may be aware of it, but ultimately they don't know how to break the deadlock.

"well.."

Zhou Ning sighed deeply. He looked up and saw a reporter with a microphone walking towards Zhang Er's ward from the parking lot. Seeing this, Zhou Ning's face was full of worry.

"It's difficult."

April 12th, three days before the court hearing.

That afternoon, at three o'clock.

The mental evaluation certificate for Liu Guofu has been issued, and two mental evaluation institutions are conducting a detailed investigation into Liu Guofu.

This is somewhat against regulations, since Liu Guofu has clearly not recovered.

However, there is no regulation stating that this is against the rules.

After a brief investigation, it was confirmed that Liu Guofu may have been suffering from mental illness during the period in question at the Ninth Hospital, but certainly not to the point of being out of control.

When the information reached Fan He and Zhou Ning, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

At the very least, mental illness objectively affects one's mental state, leaving some room for maneuver, but then one falls silent.

The information that Liu Guofu is not the defendant in the case is helpful, but ultimately useless...

4 month 13 number.

There are two days left until the trial begins.

The second hearing of the case was put back on the agenda, and major newspapers seized the opportunity to put this case, which had been adjourned half a month earlier, back in their newspapers.

The headlines on all major sections are all about the case.

In this case, public opinion is complex.

The public was shocked.

They never imagined that, after the opposing lawyer claimed Liu Guofu was mentally ill and the public condemned him, looking back... Xu De had also labeled Zhang Da as mentally ill.

This is like meeting a pedophile online who likes to befriend 6-year-olds, and arranging to meet them in person. Then you discover they're actually just over six!

And you are an adult pretending to be a six-year-old child to lure the other person offline.

At this moment, your emotions must be very complicated.

But fortunately.

Humans can adapt!

Therefore, the headlines in the newspapers also adopted a different attitude.

An Objective Analysis of the Justifiable Application of the Mental Illness Protection Law!

Don't assume that those who commit crimes are simply infringing on the rights of genuinely vulnerable groups. The key is the person, not the law. Even without laws against mental illness, they would still use minors! What we need to guard against is the person!

The Chengdu Intermediate People's Court held its second hearing on the "Ninth Hospital Case" on the 15th. What are the current advantages of both sides?

A detailed discussion of the circumstances under which mental illness warrants criminal liability.

...》

To be honest, if these newspapers had been published two weeks ago, they would have provoked a barrage of angry comments from the residents.

But it's different now.

April 1st, April Fool's Day has passed.

They suddenly became reasonable, stopped calling him mentally ill, stopped opposing him, and instead began to discuss things calmly.

"To be honest, I think it's appropriate to give preferential treatment to disadvantaged groups..."

"After all, I'm sick and can't control myself. If you're going to sentence me to death for just a cold, I definitely won't be happy about that."

"Indeed, and Liu Guofu himself provoked him, so he deserved it."

"At least he didn't engage in unreasonable questioning; he went to court with evidence and expert certificates, instead of just making baseless accusations!"

4 month 14 number.

The day before the court hearing.

Xu De reorganized and archived the information, while Lin Yue began arranging the clothes the other party would wear. The final plan was completed, and final preparations were made for the case the next day.

The media interviews and newspaper articles carried increasingly intense emotions.

Countless reporters prepared their cameras, pens, and notes for the next day, ready to head to the First Court at any moment.

In addition to this...

The plaintiff.

Under intense pressure from Yan Fei, lawyer Fan He began to organize information about the mental health of the defendant, Zhang Yue.

He wants to prove the opposite.

No disease without a certificate.

The certificate states that the person is ill!

As long as it is proven that the other party is ill and not criminally liable, Zhang Yue will be 100% detained in Ankang Hospital for compulsory treatment, which is equivalent to serving her sentence in disguise! That night.

Fan He, staying at the hotel, put the last document into his briefcase. He looked up at the clock on the wall, at the ten o'clock mark. Fan He took a deep breath and gripped his briefcase tightly.

"I'll fight you to the death!"

And so, under the watchful eyes and anticipation of everyone, the moon hanging in the night sky outside the window quietly moved and slowly set in the west.

And as it fell.

East.

Behind the mountain peaks that blocked the view, half a bright red sun peeked out.

The next day.

4 month 15 day.

The Ninth Hospital case, the day of the court hearing!

The Intermediate People's Court of CD City, Sichuan Province, convened a second hearing in accordance with the law for the case of the Ninth Hospital.

Judge Meng Junfeng presided over the trial.

In the public prosecution seat, Deng Shijie served as the prosecutor and prosecuted the defendant in accordance with the law. The indictment remained unchanged, still containing the two charges of intentional injury and attempted intentional homicide.

On the 15th.

Countless figures gathered towards the courthouse.

They went to the prosecutor's office, the hospital, and the lawyers, at different times and places, in turn.

Noon.

One hour before the trial was scheduled to begin.

Zhang Miaomiao, a reporter from Zhujun Newspaper, arrived at the Intermediate People's Court early in the morning.

At the entrance of the First Court.

"Squeak~"

Zhang Miaomiao opened the main door of the First Court and peeked inside, only to find that the interior was incredibly noisy. The large public trial court, which could accommodate nearly a thousand people, was now packed with people.

"Sister Wu, the place is full again..."

Zhang Miaomiao couldn't help but turn around and glance at Sister Wu.

Sister Wu peeked into the noisy crowd inside and was also shocked.

"Tsk, even more people came than last time..."

The two arrived an hour and a half early, yet they still nearly couldn't get seats, demonstrating the immense public interest in the case. Ultimately, they were seated in the middle row.

As I landed, the previously noisy sounds around me suddenly became clearer.

Those were the words of several reporters.

"Sigh, that lawyer for the defendant... I really don't understand this guy. Back then, I was still denouncing mental illness, and he just pulled out a copy of his own, leaving me speechless..."

"Fortunately, at least they produced evidence. They may seem like quacks, but it's actually legal and compliant."

"If someone claims the defendant is mentally ill but comes to court without any evidence, that's a real liar!"

"That's true."

Several reporters were discussing it.

Zhang Miaomiao didn't say anything. She kept her head down, making final preparations with Sister Wu in the crowd, taking out her pen and notebook, and then silently waiting. One second... two seconds... ten seconds.

Ten minutes... half an hour... an hour...

Just as Zhang Miaomiao and the others were dozing off, a faint voice suddenly appeared in the courtroom, and the entire audience fell silent in an instant.

The quiet person felt uneasy.

Zhang Miaomiao immediately opened her eyes and looked towards the trial area.

All I saw was...

Several figures appeared at the main entrance of the trial area. Upon closer inspection, it was... Fan He, Wei Xiao, and Yan Fei, the victim's family member, representing the civil prosecution in the Ninth Hospital case!

However...

Zhang Miaomiao glanced at Fan He's bulging briefcase and was startled.

So many rejection documents?...

Zhang Miaomiao clicked her tongue, thinking to herself:

"It seems unlikely that the defendant's defense of 'feeling ill during the time of the incident' will be upheld."
