Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Chapter 239 Xu De's Open Scheme! Dogs Fighting!

"Mr. Zhu, you may call me Attorney Xu."

Xu De sat opposite him, holding a landline phone, a professional smile on his face, looking the man up and down.

Xu De had some idea of ​​what the other person looked like.

After all, they had searched the other party's home not long ago and even looked at their wedding photos.

only...

Compared to previous photos, Zhu Dali's skin... looks somewhat different.

Is it turning black?

No.

If you look closely, you'll notice that the other person's skin is slightly yellowish.

However, the yellow tinge is not very noticeable; it's just a tiny bit, and after blinking, you might mistake it for an illusion and ignore it.

Yellowish skin, very loose stools, multi-enzyme tablets...

Xu De pondered inwardly, but a smile remained on his face.

On the contrary, it was Zhu Dali.

Upon learning the identity of the visitor, Zhu Dali's expression instantly darkened. He sat opposite Xu De, his slanted eyes with the whites of his eyes clearly visible, staring straight at him.

"Are you the plaintiff's legal representative?" Zhu Dali asked.

"it's me."

Xu De nodded, then pulled out his briefcase, took out a document, and looked at the words on it without hesitation.

He decided to speak up: "I came to see you today mainly because I have a few questions I'd like to ask you."

"Before asking my question, Mr. Zhu, I'd like to ask you..."

""

"Who killed the victim in this case, Zhang Mushan?"

Who killed him?

In other words, the other party does not believe that Zhu Dali was the killer!

So direct? Bringing this up right from the start? Is this a test? Or what's going on?

Zhu Dali's eyes flickered with a dark, conflicting light, but he didn't show any signs of distress. He just stared intently at the other person for a long time before finally speaking into the landline: "I killed him."

The three words fell.

opposite.

Xu De paused, and Lin Yue and Wu Xin behind him frowned slightly, surprised, and subconsciously exchanged a glance.

The other party... was too calm.

Theoretically, they should have been just as startled as Liu Xiufen!

unless...

They came with great care.

The four words came to mind, but no one said them; their demeanor simply became more serious.

"Okay, the victim Zhang Mushan was killed by you."

Xu De remained expressionless. He nodded as if he hadn't realized anything, then suddenly changed the subject and said, "Mr. Zhu."

"Our investigation shows that you have a habit of borrowing money."

"The IOU shows that your habit of borrowing money started in December 2001, and you have never repaid any of these loans. During this period, you even got into a fight with the other party because they were pressing for repayment at the construction site."

"I thought you didn't have any money."

"But after I questioned Ms. Liu, I discovered that you have money... in fact, you haven't spent a single penny of the borrowed money!"

talking.

Xu De paused, then looked up, his eyes fixed on Zhu Dali in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Excuse me, how do you explain this?"

"and."

"According to the case file, on May 7, 2003, at 1:00 PM, you borrowed money from a mentally challenged man at the construction site who used to make a living by scavenging and collecting garbage..."

"7

"Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Let's leave aside the matter of the habit of borrowing money for now.

It is highly illogical to simply borrow money from Zhang Mushan.

Putting aside everything else.

The problem is simply a matter of funds. Zhang Mushan has no money at all. If you were short of money, would you borrow money from a friend or from a real beggar?

The former is naturally the better choice.

The latter is even poorer than you, where would he get the money to lend you!

for example.

When you have no money, you'll find no one to lend you money; when you have money, you'll find a large number of relatives asking you for loans.

Why is that?

Because when you're broke, people know you're dirt poor, so they won't ask to borrow from you!

The same applies to this case. Zhang Mushan was so poor that even beggars would donate two yuan to him. Would Zhu Dali be crazy to ask him for money? Even if the other party had received an advance on his salary, his salary wouldn't be enough to cover the loan!

That's the logical point, but it doesn't prevent the other party from still using it in their response.

"I told you, he asked his boss for an advance on his salary."

"So I'll borrow money, is that not allowed?"

Zhu Dali remained expressionless as he looked at Xu De in front of him, his brows slightly furrowed.

"As for my habit of borrowing money... heh, why should I pay it back?"

Xu De shook his head and said, "Paying back debts is a matter of course."

"What utter nonsense about it being a matter of course!"

Zhu Dali snorted coldly, "Which of those bosses on the construction site doesn't have a mistress, a second mistress, or a third mistress?"

"Supporting these women costs tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan a month."

"But when the foreman goes to ask for a few thousand dollars in wages, he always says that he is short of funds, is operating at a loss, or has no money at the moment."

"Why don't you tell them that paying back the money is their right?!"

Xu De smiled, looking at Zhu Dali who was speaking recklessly in front of him, and understood.

However, he still said, "Hehe, that's just sophistry."

"Moreover, I'm referring to this case, not the others."

The words were spoken.

He paused.

Suddenly, he spoke again: "Now, the second question."

"Second, Mr. Zhu, you returned to the scene and confirmed that Zhang Mushan was dead, but the problem is that there are no footprints of you going there a second time."

"Furthermore, the scene was disguised, and all traces were destroyed."

"How do you explain this?"

Zhu Dali heard this.

He was silent for a moment, then said, "At first, I just wanted to teach Zhang Mushan a lesson and vent my emotions."

"But I was afraid he would find out I did it when he woke up, so I cleaned up the scene."

Xu De nodded without refuting.

"And then what happened? Why did you clean up all the traces of your second trip to the scene?"

Returning to the site for a second cleanup is perfectly reasonable.

But the problem is...

After cleaning up, the other party immediately turned himself in!

Zhu Dali said, "When he died, I panicked at first, afraid that someone would recognize me as the killer, so I cleaned up and left. But then I thought about it and realized I couldn't escape it."

"So I turned myself in and called the police."

That's very reasonable logic.

It sounds like there are some errors or omissions.

However, this logic exists in countless real-world cases, where many people both cover up their tracks and then turn themselves in to the police.

That's why the police transferred the case to the prosecutor's office.

"Oh, sure."

Xu De nodded, wrote something in his notebook, then paused and said, "The third question."

"Thirdly, in this case... what was the weapon that killed Zhang Mushan?"

Weapon?

Why don't you ask the police to find out about this yourself?

Zhu Dali frowned, wondering what trick the other party was up to. After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke up: "A glass ashtray."

"When I passed by the company on my way home from get off work, I noticed that there were no security cameras in the lobby, so I decided to steal the ashtrays from the waiting area."

"good."

Xu De nodded and asked again, "What does this ashtray look like?"

Zhu Dali said, "There are patterns engraved on it, and it's a bit yellowish... the yellow color from cigarette tar."

"What kind of pattern?" Xu De asked.

Zhu Dali said, "Chrysanthemum... It was engraved with chrysanthemum patterns. I remember it very clearly. When I killed him, I was holding a raised corner. Now that I think about it, it should be the stamen of the chrysanthemum."

"I see."

Xu De's face showed a look of sudden realization.

only..

In a daze.

Xu De looked at Zhu Dali in front of him, his expression gradually becoming more composed. Suddenly, he changed the subject and asked Lin Yue beside him.

"Attorney Lin, what material are the ashtrays in the waiting room of Houde Law Firm made of, which have been in use for a year?"

I suddenly asked myself that question.

Lin Yue was caught off guard. After thinking for a while, she hesitated and said, "Is it... a square glass object?"

"Specifically? What kind of patterns are there?" Xu De asked again.

"This..." Lin Yue hesitated for a long time, then shook her head. "I can't remember."

Xu De nodded.

Then, he turned to Wu Xin and asked him a question.

"Attorney Wu, what is the name of the main drug among the hundreds of bottles of medicine you personally distributed in Wutong City?"

Wu Xin hesitated, and this time he simply said he didn't remember at all.

"I don't remember."

Both of them shook their heads.

Human memory is limited; we can only retain a few very deep memories.

But Zhu Dali...

"Mr. Zhu, what do you mean?"

"After you casually grabbed an ashtray and smashed it on Zhang Mushan's head, in your panic and fear... you still remember the tar and the pattern on the ashtray, right?"

Xu De looked Zhu Dali up and down, a slight smile appearing on his face.

Your memory is rather...

'

"Very good!"

It's less that the other person remembered it.

It's more accurate to say it was memorized!

These details were clearly given to him by someone, and he memorized them by rote.

Zhu Dali fell silent... After a long while, he finally spoke: "I have a naturally good memory."

Good memory...

The moment those four words appeared.

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly turned cold. Xu De and the other two stared at Zhu Dali through the glass, while Zhu Dali returned their cold stares through the glass.

After a long while.

Xu De stood up and began packing his things.

"Mr. Zhu, this meeting is now adjourned."

"If there are any further issues... we will come to the detention center again to seek your cooperation."

The words were spoken.

Xu De didn't linger any longer, packed his things, stood up, and walked outside.

Wu Xin frowned, glanced back at Zhu Dali, and then quickly followed.

Before long, the lawyer was no longer in the meeting room.

Zhu Dali took a deep breath, stood up, and was led outside by the police.

Outside the detention center.

Lawyer Li Jian, who had been waiting at the door, immediately stood up to greet the person who came out.

"How is it? What's the situation inside?"

The moment the words were spoken.

Wu Xin, who had just stepped out of the detention center, couldn't help but curse out loud.

"Damn it! This bastard's determined to confess!"

Plead guilty?

Does this emotion represent scapegoating?

Li Jian paused, a look of surprise on his face. "It really is a scapegoat!?"

"It's pretty much a done deal. Although this person's behavior is questionable, it conforms to the legal procedures for handling the case."

"Go in." Wu Xin took a deep breath and muttered curses.

"It was clearly a setup!"

Li Jian was taken aback and somewhat at a loss. He looked at the others to the side and asked, "What should we do?"

"Should we see the prosecutor?"

"Tell the prosecutor that Zhu Dali is taking the blame!?"

The words were spoken.

Beside her, Lin Yue shook her head, directly rejecting the idea, "No, there's no way around it."

"If you want to ask a question, you have to provide evidence."

"The case is only suspicious based on sensory evidence, but there is no evidence to prove that the murderer is related to Sun Hu, nor can it prove that Zhu Dali is not the murderer."

"Even with a guilty plea, the case's procedural progress cannot be stopped."

in other words.

Xu De was not the only one who found this case suspicious.

The police and prosecutors also found it suspicious, but they couldn't find anything in the case. According to regulations, the procedure had to be moved to the next step.

Let alone Xu De.

Even prosecutors can't stop the proceedings!

What? You said you had a medical checkup? And they found out Zhu Dali is sick?

it's useless.

Even if Zhu Dali is truly ill and diagnosed with a terminal illness, it won't matter; the judiciary cannot convict someone based on mere assumptions or associations.

Even more so.

If a disease is found, it will be more beneficial to the other party!

A terminally ill patient borrows money for treatment, but the borrower refuses to pay, so the patient is murdered... How perfectly logical that sounds.

In summary...

"Turtle shell."

Wu Xin took a deep breath, his face grim. "Sun Hu...put a turtle shell on Zhu Dali!"

There were no accepted objective clues.

Unless Zhu Dali can inexplicably do something unrelated to the case, and there is reasonable legal grounds to suspect him and conduct an investigation.

otherwise.....

"Otherwise, the case will be heard in the Chongzhou Intermediate People's Court at the latest by June 3rd!"

Lin Yue spoke, giving a startling answer.

The longer it drags on, the harder it becomes to investigate.

Even after the first trial begins and the court adjourns... it will be several times more difficult to change the defendant's identity from Zhu Dali to Sun Hu based on objective evidence!

"Is there really no other way!?"

Li Jian was a little anxious; he was breathing rapidly.

"Attorney Wang didn't go to the hospital for a checkup..."

""

Halfway through his sentence, Li Jian suddenly stopped, his face immediately turning red.

If you don't tell them, they might not be able to find out.

Simply finding out the truth, as mentioned before, would be more beneficial to Zhu Dali.

Borrowing money and not repaying it, borrowing money to commit violence, borrowing money to kill—these are all linked together into a set of logic... becoming the logic used to convict Zhu Dali. "A tortoise shell, it really is just a tortoise shell." Wu Xin sighed, lit a cigarette, and smoked silently.

Everyone fell silent.

Zhu Dali may be terminally ill; threatening him won't work.

This thing is a destabilizing factor in society as a whole.

When faced with a dying person, the law, the police, and social morality are all meaningless; they are truly capable of anything.

Threatening the child's family?

That's illegal.

Threaten the other person with their life?

They're just heading towards death!

He confessed himself, so what can you do about it?

You can't just say that after the other party pleads guilty, you're going to target Liu Xiufen and her child Zhu Ming, making things difficult for them too, can you?

This is clearly acting on emotion, which is illegal and a serious crime.

But if we don't do it this way...

Then you can't do anything about the other party. It's like a wet bar of soap. You can't squeeze it. If you try to hit it with force, it will turn into a turtle and hide in its shell without moving.

Powerless.

I feel so powerless!

Just then...

"What are you thinking about?"

In a daze.

Lin Yue suddenly noticed a thoughtful expression on Xu De's face out of the corner of her eye. She was slightly taken aback and then asked him suspiciously.

"I?"

Xu De snapped out of his daze, pondered for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and suddenly spoke.

"I was thinking, what if...?"

'

"What if Zhu Dali believed that his child... wasn't his biological child?"

What does that mean?

The child isn't his biological child?

Lin Yue hesitated, "This child is my biological child, right? I..."

'

"No, I don't mean objective information, but rather, I want Zhu Dali to subjectively believe that the child isn't his biological child!"

"For example, I could randomly select two people to do anonymous DNA testing, and if the results showed they weren't father and son, I could then give the results to Zhu Dali and ask him to guess who the test results were for."

Xu De shook his head.

"What do you think... Zhu Dali will think?"

this....

In primitive society, after the emergence of private ownership, the reason why a son could find his father was because his father had property to pass on.

Zhu Dali has no reason to sacrifice himself and make money for a bastard child... well, including for Liu Xiufen, who cheated on him.

In theory.

If we can convince Zhu Dali that the child is not his biological child.

Then... the opponent's turtle shell will collapse instantly!

The eyes of the people around him lit up.

But in an instant, he frowned, shook his head, and denied it, saying, "This kind of thing... can be solved with a paternity test report."

Subjective thinking can be refuted by objective information.

No matter how much Zhu Dali doubted, as long as he received an expert report, he could be completely at ease.

but..

"That's usually the case."

"but!"

"Don't forget Zhu Dali, he's in detention right now!!!"

In a daze, Xu De narrowed his eyes, and some whimsical ideas popped into his mind.

"First, there are three types of DNA testing."

"First, anonymous testing? Zhu Dali won't believe that, and even normal people might not believe it."

"Then, only the last two options remain."

Second, private name verification.

Xu De then spoke slowly.

While speaking, he was also clarifying his logic.

The second type of test is a name-based test.

"Zhu Dali could have Yan Mi remove his hair, then commission universities and research institutes to conduct tests, claiming the sample originated from Zhu Dali and Zhu Ming. This would create a test result bearing both the names Zhu Dali and Zhu Ming."

Xu De spoke slowly.

As he spoke, he suddenly paused, narrowed his eyes, and then said, "But here's the problem."

These types of test reports do not verify identity.

In other words, when you submit a sample for testing, you can make up any name for the person who submitted it.

such as.

Xu De is now taking a hair from his own body and sending it to an institution for testing, claiming that his name is Zhu Dali, and then having it tested along with the child's hair.

But is he really Zhu Dali?

No.

But the testing agency won't dwell on whether the hair really belongs to Zhu Dali!

Therefore, it will fill in Zhu Dali's name. After Xu De and Zhu Ming undergo DNA testing, what will the report show? It will show that "Zhu Dali" and "Zhu Ming" are not related as parents!

In essence, it is still anonymous detection.

However, you can fill in any name.

"As long as we clearly explain this point to Zhu Dali."

"So, do you think the other party would agree to undergo this test?"

Xu De spoke slowly.

Zhu Dali is going to die, so he has to work hard and earn money for his child!

So.

Before you die, if you say that the other person's child is not yours, the other person will absolutely get furious!

But as long as you get angry.

To appease them, there must be objective evidence to prove that it is a parent-child relationship, which is DNA testing.

"Neither of these will work."

"There's only a third option!"

talking.

Xu De paused, his eyes flashing, and said again, "That is, the mandatory verification of the identities of both parties' samples through testing, [forensic identification report]!"

A forensic identification report, which has legal effect, requires verification of the identity information of the submitted sample.

But here is the problem.

"The person in question is currently in detention. A separate case is being filed, requesting the public security bureau, court, and procuratorate to issue a forensic report, intending to conduct a third-type DNA test."

Under the circumstances of testing.

"According to Article 3 of the Regulations on Detention Centers (State Council Decree No. 52)"

Article 34 of the "Implementation Measures of the Detention Center Regulations" and the "Detailed Rules for Law Enforcement in Detention Centers"...

""

Xu De's expression hardened, and after sorting out his thoughts, he blurted out.

"Clearly stipulated."

"Zhu Dali must proactively apply to the detention center!"

in other words.

Just moments before the trial of this case, which involved suspicion of involvement in Zhang Mushan's death, was to begin.

Zhu Dali, a terminally ill patient, suddenly and inexplicably requested that he and his child undergo a diabetic test.

"What do you think?"

What will the public security, judicial, and procuratorial organs think?

Xu De narrowed his eyes and scanned the people in front of him.

Everyone paused, and after a moment's thought, their expressions gradually turned to astonishment.

To be honest, this can't be used as evidence, but... there's no information to connect them, and the sudden "Sudden Yuan" action is suspicious in conjunction with previous actions.

You could easily pin the blame on the other person as a "scapegoat"!

No matter what.

The authorities now have sufficient grounds to investigate the substitution incident.

"No, they'll never agree to that!"

Lawyer Li Jian instinctively rejected the idea.

"There were already doubts about the case's sensory aspects."

"Just before the trial, Zhu Dali requested a DNA test, which was tantamount to admitting he was being used as a scapegoat!"

"Sun Hu and Yan Mi absolutely will not allow this situation to occur!"

Yes.

Sun Hu wouldn't allow it.

But the problem came again.

"The more they disagreed with the application, the more they seemed to be hiding something in Zhu Dali's eyes."

Xu De spoke slowly, staring into Li Jian's eyes.

"What do you think... Zhu Dali will think?"

Li Jian paused.

Immediately, his expression turned to one of astonishment.

First of all, as long as they are not biological children.

Zhu Dali would never allow the adulterous couple and their bastard child to get together, so he wouldn't die!

But here is the problem.

Sun Hu needs him to die!

But then she stopped him from getting a paternity test report.

What did Zhu Dali think of this? It was clear that Sun Hu knew the child wasn't his biological child, which was why he stopped him from getting a DNA test, fearing that Zhu Dali wouldn't be willing to take the blame for the other party!

in this way.

A cycle occurs.

Zhu Dali wants to die a complete death and applies for an appraisal certificate—having an appraisal certificate would be suicide—Sun Hu won't allow it—Zhu Dali will flip the table—Sun Hu wants Zhu Dali to die a complete death, so he can only apply for an appraisal, but appraisal would be suicide—Sun Hu won't allow it.

This is...

Endless loop.

A complete and utter vicious cycle!!!

In an instant.

The moment he realized what had happened, lawyer Li Jian's face turned pale with shock. He looked at the young lawyer in front of him, who was nearly ten years younger than him, his eyes filled with astonishment and bewilderment.

"The moment the seed of doubt is planted, all that remains is to wait for the harvest."

"At the same time, the turtle's shell is hard on the outside but extremely fragile on the inside. Since it cannot be breached from the outside, let it... fall into internal strife."

This is an open conspiracy.

This is a calculated move to manipulate psychology; even if you directly tell Sun Hu what you're going to do, he has no choice but to watch helplessly as your forces react...

All I saw was...

Xu De then spoke slowly, narrowing his eyes as he uttered three words.

"Dogs fight!!!"

P.S.: It took me a while to write an extra two thousand words.
