Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Chapter 236 Flaw!

"Mr. Sun? What do you think?"

The moment the words were spoken, the atmosphere at the entrance to the ward suddenly became tense.

Sun Hu's pupils contracted slightly at first, then quickly returned to normal. He looked at Xu De and said calmly, "Heh, how can anyone not be afraid of death?"

"Dali is only in his thirties this year, and his child is only five years old. Even if he is not afraid of death, he still has to think about his child at home."

"Attorney Xu, please stop joking."

Xu De's eyes scanned the other person, then he suddenly asked, "But Mr. Sun, Zhu Dali's habit of borrowing money... isn't it a bit suspicious?"

What do you think?

Sun Hu looked at Xu De with a smile on his face, and then slowly said, "The child is five years old, which is exactly the time when he needs money."

"Borrowing money is perfectly normal, so Attorney Xu shouldn't worry too much."

"7

The words were spoken.

Sun Hu didn't say anything more. He simply raised his watch, glanced at the time, and then interrupted Xu De, turning to walk out.

"I have other things to attend to at my company, so I won't bother you any longer. Take care, Attorney Xu."

Immediately afterwards, Sun Hu left quickly.

Yan Mi frowned, carefully examined Xu De, and then left without saying anything more.

Not long after.

The figures of the group disappeared before their eyes, and only one policeman remained in the ward to take care of Zhang Xiuning, while Zhou Jianshan also left.

In an instant.

Xu De's smile vanished instantly, and his gaze changed from gentle to serious.

He gazed intently in the direction the other person had gone.

At this moment, the door to the ICU ward next to them opened, and Yang Bing came out with a contract. He stood next to Xu De and whispered, "Director, the contract is signed. Zhang Xiuning can't write, so she put her fingerprint on it."

Xu De nodded. "Mm."

Yang Bing then asked, "What's the situation with Sun Hu?"

After saying this, Xu De paused, thought for a moment, and then shook his head, saying, "There's a lot of suspicion. I didn't say he was taking the blame, but his reaction was exactly like being pricked with a needle."

"In summary... Zhu Dali is the one with problems in this case."

A person's subconscious and emotions can be controlled.

But very few people in the world can control this; perhaps only one in ten thousand can do it.

Clearly, Sun Hu does not fall into this category.

Although the other party only showed a strange expression for a moment before instantly suppressing their emotions and expressions, that one moment was enough to confirm many of my guesses.

"What do we do now?"

Lin Yue asked hesitantly, "What do we need to do?"

Upon hearing this...

Xu De paused for a moment, then shifted his gaze to the ICU ward.

Looking through the window, I saw Zhang Xiuning leaning against the bed.

Zhang Xiuning couldn't discern her expression at that moment. If she had to describe it... she was stunned, yes, completely lost in thought.

Those eyes were cloudy and whitish, devoid of any light, just staring blankly at the ward, mouth agape.

The police inside remained silent.

In a daze.

Zhang Xiuning's cracked, withered lips parted, emitting a sound like drafts.

"Where's Mu...Mushan?"

The young policeman beside her remained silent for a long time before finally speaking: "Ms. Zhang, Zhang Mushan is dead..."

""

Zhang Xiuning leaned against the headboard, her eyes somewhat vacant, her aged body seemingly slow to react.

She then asked, "Where's Kiyama...?"

""

The young policeman fell silent.

Zhang Xiuning's eyes dimmed slightly, as if she had fallen into her own mental world. She uttered a series of indistinct murmurs, as if there was phlegm stuck in her throat, and she was muttering something.

She felt somewhat dreamy, as if it were unreal and impractical, with memories of the past surfacing frame by frame in her mind.

Sixteen years ago.

At 58 years old, frail and disliked by others, she was at the very bottom of society when she picked up Zhang Mushan, who was still an infant, from a trash can. At that moment, Zhang Xiuning felt that this might be God's compensation to her.

Raising children is very troublesome; eating, drinking, pooping, and urinating all require a lot of effort.

At that time.

Whether it's a snowy day or a sweltering day.

Zhang Xiuning would ride her tricycle, humbly knocking on doors, a fawning smile on her face, to beg for a bowl of goat milk.

Sometimes you get scolded, sometimes you get disliked, and sometimes you even get beaten up and driven away.

But in the end, as the tricycle chain turned round and round, and as the seasons changed, Zhang Mushan grew up little by little.

He is like a seed.

Growing up in a garbage dump, it then pushed the garbage off its head to the side.

When Zhang Xiuning was seven or eight years old, she was already 65. Zhang Mushan would follow her to pick up trash. He envied other children who could go to school, but he didn't say anything. He would wait until the children finished drinking their milk and then pick up the bottles.

Zhang Mushan wanted to share her burdens and worries; he was a smart and sensible child.

When there's meat at home during the Lunar New Year, he'll say he's full and tell Zhang Xiuning to eat more.

He wanted to work; he wanted Zhang Xiuning to have a good life.

Zhang Mushan was an idiot, an idiot picked up from a trash can, and a bottom-level person struggling in the garbage heap. He had no other thoughts than to take Zhang Xiuning away from the living soil formed by this garbage mountain.

He wanted to sip some milk to see what it tasted like, and he also wanted to buy some anti-inflammatory medicine so that Zhang Xiuning wouldn't be curled up in a corner waiting to die.

Sixteen years, a full sixteen years.

Zhang Mushan has grown up, and he wants to earn a living by working hard.

Past scenes.

Like a film, it appeared frame by frame in Zhang Xiuning's mind.

.

Zhang Xiuning's face was blank, her cloudy eyes flickered, and after a long while, a voice suddenly came from the silent ward.

"Where's Mu...Mushan?"

On one side, the young policeman remained silent.

Zhang Mushan is currently at the Lingshui County Funeral Home. His grandson, whom the other party raised for 16 years, exhausting their efforts and enduring countless hardships, died in just a few seconds and now lies in the air-conditioned morgue.

The police officer felt a little suffocated and his heart was heavy.

Outside the ICU ward.

Everyone watched the scene unfolding in the hospital room.

Yang Bing spoke in silence, his fist clenched tightly around his briefcase. He spoke in a muffled voice, as if a stone was pressing on his chest, making it hard to breathe.

"The client is not in a good state."

"Um.

""

Xu De remained expressionless and nodded slightly.

"What are we going to do?" Li Jian asked, puzzled.

"Go see Zhu Dali at the detention center?"

Currently, the key to this case lies with Zhu Dali. If we can get rid of him, there is a high probability that the case will make a breakthrough!

but...

"No."

Xu De took a deep breath, his eyes narrowed, and he made up his mind.

Xu De has always been fair.

The client is a family member of the victim; Sun Hu is targeting family members, that...

In a daze, his brows furrowed, he exhaled a heavy breath, and said in a deep voice, "Start with Zhu Dali's family!"

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

The words were spoken.

Without noticing the interesting expressions on the faces of those around him, he took the contract and strode quickly out of the hospital.

Sun Hu has two lawyers hiding on his side, and Xu De currently doesn't know where these two lawyers are or what they've been assigned to.

But he knew that the other party had absolutely no idea he would suddenly appear, and the best example of catching the other party off guard at the ward door just now was the first time.

So, even if those two lawyers really had a backup plan...

As long as we seize the moment, we have nothing to fear from the other side in the short term!

"I sent Wang Chao, lawyer Wu, and lawyer Zhang to the family's place in advance."

"Contact them!"

Behind them, several people were slightly taken aback, but after regaining their senses, they hurriedly began to take action.

at the same time.

Hongyang Civil Engineering Company

The main entrance of the company.

Inside a minivan.

.

Inside the car were only Yan Mi, Zhou Ning, and a driver.

"Attorney Yan, shall we go to court now?"

The driver glanced at Yan Mi in the rearview mirror and tentatively asked a question.

"No rush."

back seat.

Yan Mi first rejected his words, then paused.

"Xu De...the lawyer who handled the Chengdu case, the one who defended Zhang Yue, stabbed her 17 times, and ultimately only received a suspended sentence?"

The top lawyer Yan Mi looked at Zhou Ning beside him after leaving the company, his eyes narrowing.

Zhou Ning steeled himself and nodded.

"It's him, I can't be mistaken."

Upon hearing this...

"He also has a classic case from Qingwu Province, which is also a criminal defense case..."

""

"Hehe, lawyers in small towns have quite a few tricks up their sleeves..."

'

He murmured silently for a long time, a hint of disdain showing in his eyes.

Classic case...

It is also rigorous.

How could Hung Lang Law Firm, ranked 80th on the list of the top 100 lawyers, not be included?!

Yan Mi has one criminal defense case, one rights protection case, and three civil cases listed as classic cases. In addition, the number of nominations is countless.

Furthermore, if he hadn't later started doing business in the financial sector... this number would have continued to rise!

and so.

A lawyer with a portfolio of classic cases is not enough to warrant serious vigilance.

But the words came back again.

Strategically underestimating the opponent.

However, tactically, we must take our opponents seriously!

"This person is quite capable; Li Jian and Zhang Qian are no match for him."

"He likes to pull surprise attacks... evidence raids, evidence-gathering raids, in short, his modus operandi is to catch you completely off guard!"

The top lawyer became serious and focused. He muttered to himself that, based on just a few words from Zhou Ning, he had dissected the opponent's fighting style and grasped his habits.

Zhou Ning murmured a few words to himself, then frowned and said, "A surprise attack... He's with his family now, should we...?"

"7

"Heh, as the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war; if you're too slow, you won't be able to launch a surprise attack."

You're thinking about him too slowly.

The top lawyer shook his head, his expression turning serious, sensing a slight threat.

At that moment, he said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken..."

"He should have already left the hospital and, while I was still reacting, moved on to the next phase of the investigation."

Have they already left the hospital?

Zhou Ning was startled, and astonishment showed on his face.

They had just returned by car and had kept Xu De's identity information confidential.

As a result, the other party immediately moved on to the next stage!?

"So fast!?" Zhou Ning exclaimed in surprise.

"Hehe, Attorney Zhou, this is the difference between you and a senior lawyer."

Yan Mi shook his head, then pondered for a moment, his eyes narrowing.

Despite having little contact with the other party, Yan Mi dared to assert...

"Family members"

"He went to Zhu Dali's family's place!"

Family members?

"He didn't go to Zhu Dali, he went straight to the family!?" Zhou Ning's face showed increasing astonishment.

The family members of Zhu Dali are not involved in the case, so the other party had no suspicion of wrongdoing.

But theoretically, the other party also knows the inside story of the case.

so..

If the other party truly abandons Zhu Dali and prioritizes finding his family, then they've struck at his weakest point, causing them immense trouble.

"Ha, he's fast... then we'll be even faster than him!"

A strategy is instantly formulated in a well-thought-out mind.

"Attorney Zhou, you and Ding Yan go to Zhu Dali's family and stall them."

"His next target should be Zhu Dali. I'll go to the detention center in advance to see Zhu Dali."

only...

"Attorney Yan, Attorney Ding..."

'

Lawyer Zhou Ning was a little embarrassed. He looked around at the empty seats and held up his phone, whispering, "Lawyer Ding should... have gone back to Haicheng."

"This is the message he sent me."

Ding Yan and his apprentice have returned to Haicheng!?

How is this possible? Wasn't she just in the hospital?!

The top lawyer Yan Mi was slightly taken aback, but without hesitation, he immediately took the other party's phone and found that there was indeed a message from Ding Yan's phone number in the email.

[Attorney Ding: Attorney Zhou, take care. There's been a family emergency, so I have to take my leave and withdraw from this engagement.]

[Attorney Ding: Please tell Attorney Yan that the retainer fee no longer needs to be transferred to me.]

Both messages were presented in a very absolute manner.

The top lawyer stared intently at the email, remained silent for a moment, and finally shook his head.

"Ignore him."

"Proceed according to plan and disrupt his investigation!"

"Okay." Zhou Ning nodded, his expression turning serious, and quickly got out of the car to begin the preparations.

One person went to their family, while the heavily guarded van headed towards the detention center.

at the same time.

Ganzhuang District, Chongzhou City.

In Zhujia Village.

This is a rural area, but it's not much different from a small town.

A dozen or so villages are situated on the plain, connected and linked together, making it look like a huge town. The villages are only three or four meters apart, and you can easily reach the other villages by crossing a road.

This is Zhu Dali's hometown.

Not all the houses in my hometown were thatched cottages.

The streets were connected by cement roads, and the houses were all cement buildings, almost no different from towns in later generations.

now.

073 households, inside a two-story self-built house.

Two men dressed in black suits, but with subtle differences in details, stood at the doorway, nodding and speaking to a middle-aged woman.

"Okay, Ms. Liu Xiufen, we will contact you again if there is any news regarding Zhu Dali."

Prosecutor Yue Feng spoke to the woman as he spoke.

Liu Xiufen is Zhu Dali's wife. She is 33 years old this year. She looks relatively young, is slightly plump, and is 1.65 meters tall. She also wears a very plain silver bracelet on her wrist.

She was of average appearance, with thick lips and slightly protruding teeth, but her skin was very fair.

Doorway.

As Liu Xiufen watched the two prosecutors leave, she nodded repeatedly and hurriedly said, "I will definitely... I will definitely cooperate with you."

"Um."

Prosecutor Yue Feng nodded slightly, his expression unreadable, and then he and his colleague Zhao Qian walked towards the prosecutor's office vehicle parked in the distance.

"Click!"

The car door opened, and the two got in.

After getting on the bus.

"Snapped!"

Zhao Qian lowered his head, pressed the lighter, lit a cigarette for himself, and then took a sharp drag.

"Hiss~!"

A puff of smoke instantly filled my lungs.

Feeling the calming effect of nicotine, Zhao Qian couldn't help but relax slightly. Then, he looked up through the car window at the tightly closed iron gate and said, "This case... is a bit tricky."

"We didn't find anything with Zhu Dali's family, so it's highly likely there's nothing wrong."

"If this leads to prosecution..."

"6

With that, Prosecutor Zhao Qian shook his head and said nothing more.

Beside him, Prosecutor Yue Feng also fell into his own thoughts as the other person spoke.

It is indeed somewhat inappropriate to initiate a public prosecution in this manner.

Putting aside everything else.

Just considering the influence of public opinion, if you hear that someone borrowed money and another person refused to give it to them and was subsequently killed... what would you think?

Putting aside everything else.

The case hasn't been announced yet.

Anything that is made public.

Public opinion will spread throughout the entire Chongzhou City!

If anything unusual happens in the case... perhaps the entire Haiyun Province, hundreds of millions of people, will turn their attention to Yanzhou City. "The family members are... a bit nervous." Prosecutor Zhao Qian recalled the scene just now and suddenly said.

"It's normal to be nervous... Family members aren't defendants, so we can't interrogate them like we would any other person."

Prosecutor Yue Feng said it casually.

They are prosecutors from the Chongzhou Intermediate People's Procuratorate.

The main purpose of this trip to Zhujia Village is to investigate the situation of Zhu Dali's family. So far... there is no suspicion.

Just as the two were preparing to head home.

In a daze, several figures suddenly appeared in my peripheral vision.

"Wait, who are these people?"

In a daze.

Prosecutor Zhao Qian paused, watching several men in suits and neat clothes walk towards Liu Xiufen's home, raising an eyebrow slightly.

Prosecutor Yue Feng also looked up.

All I saw was...

Outside the car, several men and women, carrying briefcases, walked briskly and with straight backs, stepping over the car they were in.

As it passed by.

One of them turned his head and looked out, meeting Yue Feng's gaze through the car's windshield.

This is....

lawyer!?
