Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Chapter 233 A Deceptive Angle! [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]

night.

6:30.

Yanzhou City, Railway Station.

"Ugh, this train ride was... awful."

On the train, in the sleeper compartment, Lin Yue sat on the lower bunk, her brows furrowed, looking somewhat wistful.

She didn't have any objections to taking the train.

But if you have to take a train for a whole day and night, or even go to work after landing, then the complaints are much stronger than usual.

only......

"Alright, alright, I don't mind you sitting on my bed, but you have a problem with that?"

On the bed behind Lin Yue, Xu De was forced to lie against the wall. He looked at Lin Yue with her back to him and felt a little speechless. A faint fragrance still lingered around his nose.

"Hmph, as a reward, you can smell my perfume!" Lin Yue didn't care at all, and even squeezed her slender waist back a little.

Xu De was speechless.

"If you keep squeezing, you're going to squeeze my face."

"The perfume in my hair is very expensive, it's a limited edition, you should thank me," Lin Yue said.

I was talking about your ass.

Xu De lay on the bed, looking expressionlessly at Lin Yue sitting on the edge of his bed, and said calmly.

Lin Yue:......

In a daze, she felt as if she had been pricked by a needle. She quickly moved to the foot of the bed, put on her shoes, and cautiously turned to look at Xu De.

However, at this moment, her originally exquisite face...

It presents a mixture of disbelief, disgust, sympathy, and resigned acceptance.

Lin Yue whispered, "Pervert!"

Xu De: ......

"Heh heh, fine, whatever you say."

Xu De wasn't in the mood to argue with the other party. He looked at the scene outside the window that was gradually coming to a stop, and then leaned back and got up.

"It's time to go."

The words were spoken.

The two then put on their shoes and went outside.

Lin Yue was wearing a pair of women's flat shoes, which looked quite elegant. Of course, the main thing was that they weren't as tiring to walk in as high heels.

After getting dressed, the two went outside.

Step out of the train station platform.

The two encountered Wu Xin, Wang Chao, and Yang Bing at the exit.

The five of them gathered together before heading outside again.

......

"Here, here!"

The exit of the train station.

Li Jian and Zhang Qian looked at the crowd and, upon spotting a familiar figure, suddenly raised their hands in greeting.

The figure was none other than Wu Xin.

To be honest, Li Jian and Zhang Qian breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing each other.

First of all, although the three are of similar ability, Wu Xin has a reassuring quality. This is not because he thinks the other party can solve the problem just by coming, but simply because he takes responsibility.

For example, the [Punatinib case] in Wutong City.

Despite losing the first trial and clearly being out of a job, Wu Xin continued to take responsibility for the other party, wasting more than a month of his time accompanying Xu Desheng to the case.

only......

"Wu......."

Li Jian opened his mouth, preparing to call Wu Xin over, but the next second, he discovered... there was a group of people standing beside him.

The two were immediately stunned.

Only when the other party approached did he hesitate and sized up the people in front of him.

young.

very young.

My first impression was that he was extremely young!

That woman... no, I should say girl.

He's probably around 25 years old, in his youth.

The other three men... one of them looked a bit older, but the other two were definitely young.

Judging from their positions, the person in the lead... should be that handsome man.

"Hello, you must be Attorney Li Jian and Attorney Zhang Qian."

Xu De took off his backpack, then smiled and reached out to shake hands with him.

Li Jian was still a little stunned, and subconsciously reached out to grasp it.

"Um...it's me."

Upon seeing this, Wu Xin quickly smoothed things over and began introducing themselves to each other.

"This is Attorney Xu, the director of Houde Law Firm," Wu Xin said in a low voice.

The director of Houde Law Firm?

The words were spoken.

Li Jian and Zhang Qian looked on in surprise, staring at the young man in front of them in disbelief.

Their understanding of virtue is not very high.

I went back to my hometown for the Spring Festival, and then came to Yanzhou City to seek legal aid after the Spring Festival.

The only thing I know about its reputation is the Chengdu case.

Because of the case, I haven't seen it on TV myself, I've only heard about it.

Using mental illness to counter mental illness, using speculation as a defense and ironclad evidence... I thought the person who did this was a veteran in the industry.

At the very least, he should be thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, the prime of his life!

Who would have thought...

So young!

"Hello, Director Xu..."

Li Jian felt somewhat awkward, especially when he thought about Wu Xin saying that he wanted to merge into Wu Xin's law firm, which made him feel even more awkward.

Xu De, however, didn't seem to mind and laughed:

"Don't you think I'm a little different from what you imagined?"

After he finished speaking, Li Jian's thoughts were exposed, but he didn't seem embarrassed; instead, it eased the atmosphere between them.

"I didn't expect Director Xu to be so young," Zhang Qian remarked.

"Let's talk about the case first."

Xu De began to speak.

Instead of heading out of the train station, the group sat on public benches to rest for a while.

Meanwhile, Xu De also took this opportunity to quickly learn about the details of the case.

"How's the case going?"

"What are the details of the case? Was a contract signed?"

Two questions remain unanswered.

Li Jian pondered the logic for a moment, then replied:

"The contract hasn't been signed yet... Well, the police don't know how to approach the family yet."

Xu De nodded. "I understand."

In the case of Yang Jiale and her daughter, Yang Jiale, and her mother died, the police made great psychological preparations before informing the remaining family members of the case.

Not to mention, Zhang Xiuning is unwell, and informing her rashly could cause emotional fluctuations and lead to further problems, so one should naturally consider things more carefully.

"What about the case?" Xu De asked again.

"Case details... The police have apprehended the perpetrator, Zhu Dali."

"The perpetrator, Zhu Dali, confessed to his crimes and admitted to all the evidence. The boss, Sun Hu, is willing to take responsibility for the case..."

Li Jian slowly opened his mouth and revealed all the information he currently knew.

only......

As I listened...

The people present frowned. Wu Xin and Yang Bing exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing surprise.

Let's not talk about them.

Even Wang Chao!

Even Wang Chao, unusually, understood at this moment and couldn't help but speak up:

"No... there's something wrong with this case, isn't there?"

"Didn't we say before that Zhang Mushan had gone through several rounds of wage disputes? Theoretically, his conflict with Sun Hu should be more serious than his conflict with Zhu Dali."

"Furthermore, how did Zhu Dali know Zhang Mushan's address?"

They had learned about the case background beforehand.

Before arriving, everyone had their thoughts focused on Sun Hu.

but.....

Why is Zhu Dali suddenly appearing now?

Who is this person? Because they wanted to borrow money? They killed someone because they weren't given the money?!

Xu De frowned, but instead of immediately denying it, he slowly said:

What information is associated with Zhu Dali?

This kind of highly illogical reason for killing is actually the most common.

Let me put it this way.

There was a case where two childhood friends, one of whom killed the other. What was their motive?

The other person was doing well, but he didn't introduce him to any girlfriends, so he killed him.

Doesn't that sound ridiculous and illogical?

But that's the reason for the murder. So, even if it seems illogical, Zhu Dali's killing someone after failing to borrow money should be carefully considered.

At least it sounds much more reasonable than killing someone for not introducing them to a girlfriend.

"Zhu Dali is a warehouse material handler."

"According to Hongyang Company."

"At 5 p.m. that day, Zhu Dali finished get off work and then disappeared from the construction site."

"Zhu Dali himself said that after 5 o'clock, he went to Zhang Mushan's road home to wait for him, and at 5:30, he used an ashtray that he had randomly stolen from the company to kill him."

Li Jian slowly began to speak, describing the case in great detail with very clear logic.

"The police investigated these remarks."

"Um."

"All the information about the case matches up."

"Many workers at the construction site also testified that Zhu Dali did have a habit of borrowing money, and there had been many conflicts because of this."

A contradiction has arisen.

The conflict on the construction site... well, it escalated to physical violence.

Zhu Dali has gotten into fights with others more than once because of borrowing money.

Zhang Mushan refused to lend the money, so he attacked again, but this time he went too far and killed the other man.

It does sound exceptionally reasonable...

"Where is Sun Hu?"

"The construction site boss, Sun Hu, is there no problem?" Wang Chao, sitting to the side, asked in surprise, casting a suspicious glance at Li Jian.

The words were spoken.

Not only him, but everyone else also looked puzzled.

Li Jian pondered for a moment, then replied:

"Because it was a voluntary surrender, the police notified the other party immediately, and there was no 'trickery' involved."

"After considering that the victim and Sun Hu also had a conflict, it was clear that Sun Hu was aware of the 'ins and outs' of the case."

"Therefore, even if we detain him now, we won't get anything out of him if we interrogate him further."

"In addition, someone in the company testified for the other party, and Sun Hu had an alibi during the period of the incident... and with the assistance of his lawyer, Sun Hu was released from custody."

Li Jian spoke slowly.

On the surface, everything seems fine.

First, Sun Hu has an alibi.

Second.

As a construction site boss, Sun Hu wouldn't kill someone for a thousand yuan in wages.

only......

"A lawyer? A lawyer helped Sun Hu leave!?"

Suddenly.

Xu De, who had been silent all along, suddenly noticed something, his brows furrowed, and his eyes narrowed.

"Wasn't Zhu Dali the one who committed the crime? Is the lawyer Zhu Dali's lawyer, or was it a lawyer Sun Hu specifically hired to help him get away?"

Li Jian replied, "It's Zhu Dali's defense lawyer, but they're not prepared to provide a defense."

"Because the evidence is irrefutable, I just want to be cooperative and confess quickly in order to get a reduced sentence."

Did they find a defense lawyer so quickly after committing the crime?

"How is this possible!"

Wang Chao sensed something was wrong and shook his head, "Isn't Zhu Dali always borrowing money to live?"

"Where would he get the money to hire a lawyer?"

"Ordinary criminals who surrender themselves don't think about finding a defense lawyer in advance. Most of them wait until the trial is about to begin before the legal aid is arranged by the authorities."

"This case has only been going on for a short time... and he already has a lawyer!?"

No money, no status, no position.

In cases where there is no legal aid, at the very least, a lawyer will not be able to accept the case until the prosecutor's office files charges.

And this kind of case involves outright murder...

If you want to hire a lawyer by paying money, it will be an astronomical price!

"It was Sun Hu who found it."

Li Jian replied, "Sun Hu said that Zhu Dali had followed him for more than ten years, so he specifically hired a lawyer to defend him... in order to get him to plead guilty."

Sun Hu found it?

That... makes sense logically.

After all, during the 18th case, the hot-tempered contractor spent 200,000 yuan of his own money to hire Xu De to avenge his workers, without asking for anything in return.

only......

"There's a problem."

Xu De frowned, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

prior to.

He had thought about this when he was working on the skill "Unity of Knowledge and Action".

Capital is profit-driven.

Or rather, it's not just capital, but almost everyone; "making money" is almost equivalent to "profit-seeking," only the ways of obtaining profit are different.

Sun Hu's level...

If he wanted to downplay the impact of his "heartless" refusal to help Zhu Dali, it would actually be quite simple.

Give the remaining workers a benefit, and say that Zhu Dali brought this trouble upon himself, and that the cost of hiring a lawyer could be completely offset at a low cost.

Second.

If it's because of feelings, since the other person has been with him for ten years, Sun Hu values relationships.

Well... they shouldn't just plead guilty. They have children at home; they should at least try to get a reduced sentence.

"This... Could Zhu Dali be a scapegoat!?"

One side.

Lin Yue hesitated before speaking, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.

Yang Bing shook his head and raised a question from another angle.

"Not really."

"This is murder!"

"Zhang Mushan is 17 years old, a minor, and also mentally challenged and disabled. These are all serious crimes."

"If you confess to this crime, then you'll truly be 'taking someone else's place'!"

"Scapegoat" is just an adjective.

For example, if you take the blame for others, you can be considered a scapegoat.

but......

What if the other party faces the death penalty?

What if taking the blame for this crime means you're almost certainly going to die?

You'll find that far fewer people are willing to take the blame, almost none...

In the law.

Human rights have only improved, not declined.

for example.

Which is a heavier sentence: killing an old person or killing a young person?

Logically speaking, if you kill a young person who can live to be eighty, you have taken away fifty or sixty years of their lifespan out of thin air, and the person still has to support their family.

For the elderly, who are already nearing the end of their lives, if we set aside moral and emotional factors and only consider the pros and cons, the elderly are still just a burden.

Therefore, theoretically, killing a young person should be punished more severely.

but......

In reality, they were killing elderly people!

Why?

Because the elderly are a vulnerable group, if you kill an elderly person, you are killing a vulnerable group. The judiciary will think that you are bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and that you are someone who specializes in bullying these kinds of people!

Therefore, a severe punishment with an iron fist is necessary.

As for lifespan? The elderly don't have much lifespan to begin with.

There is no legal concept of "not having much time left to live" in the judiciary.

Yes, there are only two.

Living, and dead.

In summary.

"Zhang Mushan is disabled, a minor, and committed malicious murder. Even if he surrenders himself... there's an 80% chance he'll get a suspended death sentence if he can't produce a legal defense!"

"The remaining 20% won't be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, but to death!"

"If he were really a scapegoat, would the other party even dare to take this blame?!"

Yang Bing was suspicious.

The death penalty, at the very least, is a suspended death sentence.

A suspended death sentence... even if you don't die, the sentence will be life imprisonment after the reprieve period, and you'll be stuck in prison for at least several decades.

Zhu Dali is only thirty years old now. If he stays in prison for several decades, his whole life will be gone. When he gets out, he'll probably be in his sixties or seventies... or he might just die of old age in prison.

Is this kind of crime something that can be easily taken on?

Everyone fell silent.

This logic is much easier to understand, which is why Li Jian and Zhang Qian suspected that the case might be true.

until......

"An IOU? Does the other party have a habit of borrowing money?"

"So...do you have a habit of paying back money?"

In a daze.

Xu De suddenly found a novel angle and asked a question.

Li Jian paused, looked up, and saw the other person narrowing their eyes and staring at him.

Li Jian shook his head.

"no."

In ordinary households, once the money is repaid, the IOU is usually burned or torn up.

Yan Mi was able to produce so many IOUs simply because he hadn't repaid the money yet.

"What about time?"

"When was the earliest IOU issued?" Xu De asked again.

Now.

Li Jian hesitated, but Zhang Qian, who was standing to the side, still remembered him somewhat. After thinking for a moment, she spoke:

"December 2001."

"It's been a year and a half since then."

"Besides that, I also took out personal loans from banks and other institutions, borrowing from every possible source..."

A year and a half...

"Before this, did he have a habit of borrowing money?" Xu De asked again.

Zhang Qian shook her head. "I didn't see any other IOUs from other times, and no one mentioned them."

"Does Zhu Dali have any bad habits? Drinking, gambling, whoring, etc." Xu De asked.

This time, Li Jian replied, "No."

"Zhu Dali has a wife and a five-year-old son. He is very frugal and has no bad habits."

After a few words.

"In other words..."

"Zhu Dali did not have any bad habits related to money, and before December 2002, he had no habit of borrowing money. But after December, he inexplicably started borrowing money constantly, and never paid back even a single penny..."

"Besides that, they even borrowed money from the bank!?"

Xu De narrowed his eyes and murmured.

A person.

They don't lack money, and they don't need money, but suddenly they've started borrowing money.

He's even now embroiled in a case involving a suspected scapegoat, and if he's found guilty...

A death sentence with a two-year reprieve is a foregone conclusion!

But then again...

Assuming this case is indeed a scapegoat case, then... how dare he!?

In the silence.

Xu De slowly opened his mouth and asked a question.

"Isn't Zhu Dali afraid of death?"

......
