Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Chapter 240 The Fear of Death

The turtle's shell is an insurmountable obstacle. Even the mighty shark, the apex predator of the ocean, has no way to deal with a turtle. It simply retracts its head and doesn't even show its tail, leaving no chance to strike.

But here is the problem.

If you can break through from the inside... then the case will be extremely easy to investigate!

only....

"What if Zhu Dali doesn't pursue the matter?"

In a daze, Li Jian couldn't help but ask again.

He looked at Xu De, a hint of hesitation on his face. After a moment, he added, "What if...the other party doesn't pursue the matter?"

"What I mean is, what if Zhu Dali knew the child wasn't his biological child, but the other party still didn't pursue the matter?"

is it possible?

It's really possible.

for example.

The saying "When a person is about to die, their words are good" reveals a lot of logic.

When a person dies, they often let go of many things, such as anger, and even things that cause deep-seated hatred between them.

Therefore, logically speaking, it is quite possible that Zhu Dali could actually let go of his anger at being cheated on.

but..

but!

But then again...

"Attorney Li, have you seen the old man?"

In a daze.

Xu De smiled and looked at Li Jian in front of him, asking this question gently.

Old...old people?

Li Jian froze, crossed his arms, and just as he was about to reply, the other person's voice rang out again in a daze.

"I mean, those who are about to die of old age."

Xu De added a sentence.

Have you observed their condition?

The words were spoken.

Everyone present subconsciously fell into thought.

What is the state of an elderly person who is about to die?

If you are a caregiver and are looking after an elderly person who does not have dementia but still has the ability to think logically, you will discover something.

That is, some people... have very sharp and difficult personalities!

For example, they might mutter curses incessantly, even if the other person approached them with good intentions, they would still hurl the most vicious insults at them!

Furthermore, they will deliberately cause you trouble... even if you don't have any conflicts with them.

The other party will still deliberately cause you trouble!

Intentionally soiling your pants or wetting the bed is just a way to disgust you for no reason.

"Why do you think that is? Why would they do that?"

Xu De slowly opened his mouth and posed another question.

Why....

this...

Li Jian paused, reaching out to touch his chin, a clear look of hesitation on his face. After a long pause, he tentatively asked, "Is it because of 'delirium'?"

Delirium is a term used to describe the thinking of an elderly person. It can be understood as similar to Alzheimer's disease, but it is clearly different from what has been described above.

The reason for this is.....

In a daze.

Lin Yue, who was pondering beside him, paused, raised an eyebrow, and hesitated before asking, "Because of fear?"

Xu De nodded, giving him an approving look. "Yes."

fear?

fear!

It's because of fear, but here's the question: what are they afraid of?

"Fear of death!"

Xu De began, "Death is a terrible thing, especially when you know you're going to die and can only wait quietly. You'll be very afraid, very terrified!"

Some people might say they are not afraid of death.

But it's clear that 90% of the people who say this have never experienced death.

If you save all ten people who are about to hang themselves, nine of them will be too afraid to die.

The fear of death is unparalleled and will break through everyone's psychological defenses!

for example.

A murderer, daring to kill, with an extremely arrogant personality—such a person must have a very strong mentality, right? But what happens when facing the death penalty?

My legs still feel weak, I wet my pants, and I still cry.

Not to mention ordinary people.

Therefore... death is a terrible thing, and everyone will feel fear in the face of these two words.

"But fear manifests in more ways than just 'cowardly retreating'."

"And... anger."

Xu De then changed the subject, shifting the focus to another angle.

"Fear does not manifest in only one way: running away."

"It can also make people angry, upset, and irritable!"

Fear is an emotion, and there are no laws governing emotions that say you must run away just because you are afraid.

You can also rise to the challenge and punch the source of your fear!

"Those who are nearing the end of their lives are shrouded in the shadow of death, feeling their bodies grow old and slowly moving towards death."

"They will become angry when they know they have nowhere to run."

"Whom would you direct this anger at?"

"You can't exactly punch a fictional Grim Reaper, can you? So, the person next to them got hurt."

Xu De spoke slowly.

Some middle-aged people may experience a mental breakdown when caring for their elderly parents due to the actions of some of the elderly.

You might think this is normal.

But in reality, this might be the old person deliberately making things difficult for you, just to see you break down.

so..

"Zhu Dali just seems a little irritable right now."

"But in reality, he's a pressure cooker?"

Lawyer Wu Xin looked at Xu De in surprise, recalling the scene of Zhu Dali that he had just seen, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was the right fit.

His expression turned somewhat strange.

"If anything goes wrong even slightly, this pressure cooker might...explode!"

Xu De nodded, "Yes."

for example.

Xu De had said this accurately before.

Children, the elderly, and the sick are "invincible in society" and are not bound by the law.

If you think about it, you'll find that these three types of people... are all related to death.

Children have no concept of death, the elderly are nearing the end of their lives, and terminally ill patients are already on the verge of death.

If we apply this to the logic of comforting someone before death, such as "a person's words are good when they are about to die."

Theoretically, these people should be the most virtuous.

Why must it be called an unstable factor?

Why do people say they could explode at any moment and shouldn't be messed with?

Because of two points.

First, the greatest punishment the law can impose is death.

Since they were already doomed, the deterrent effect of the law was almost non-existent.

You will die if you kill, rape, or rob; but you will also die if you don't kill, rape, or rob.

Second, the anger shrouded in death.

There's a TV series where the protagonist is named Yu Huanshui. In the show, he goes from being a good-for-nothing to a tough guy because of a terminal illness, which clearly fits these two points.

"Zhu Dali is very angry now."

"He was furious. Why was he going to die when he was only 34 years old and his child was only a few years old?"

"Why are those people able to live to be seventy or eighty years old?"

"At the same time, he was also afraid of what would happen to his children after he died."

"So his anger led him to take the blame for his child."

"Of course, I don't deny that some people can be quite accepting of death."

"But do you think people who can let it go would actually harm others in their place?"

Xu De gave his final summary.

As they were talking.

He waved his hands and looked at everyone clearly, saying, "At the very least, Zhu Dali is not that kind of person."

He was already furious about death, and in his rage, he started working himself to the bone. Then, halfway through, he discovered his wife was cheating on him and that his child was illegitimate...

Do you think Zhu Dali will suddenly feel relieved and lose all anger, saying "It's okay, it's okay"?

"I see...

"6

Lawyer Li Jian seemed to be deep in thought. He looked up at Xu De, his voice tinged with unease.

"so..

""

"We need to lie to Zhu Dali, saying his child isn't his, and he's being cuckolded?"

"Hmm...using a green hat to detonate this pressure cooker!?"

The words were spoken.

Xu De quickly waved his hand, saying impatiently, "What do you mean by lying? I never lie; lying is illegal!"

Li Jian's eyes twitched. "So, what do we do?"

"I'm not lying... so how do we make Zhu Dali believe he's been cheated on, and thus request a legally valid 'Forensic Appraisal Certificate'?"

Xu De pondered for a moment.

Finally, he looked at the group and said, "I see."

"You guys spread out and find Zhu Dali and Zhu Ming."

The words were spoken.

Li Jian and Wu Xin exchanged glances, their expressions strange and their eyes filled with surprise.

"Isn't Zhu Dali in the detention center?"

"No."

Xu De shook his head. "What I meant was... you should find someone with the same name, Zhu Dali, and Zhu Ming!"

As for me...

""

"Okay, I'll go find Wang Chao and the others."

Same name...same surname! ?

The moment the words were spoken.

Everyone present fell into deep thought.

5 month 13 day.

In Yanzhou City, the municipal people's procuratorate investigated the case. The case had a clear logical chain of murder, and there was evidence, but the chain of evidence was not particularly complete.

Several prosecutors conducted a detailed investigation of the crime scene.

No fruit.

There were no surveillance cameras around the crime scene, it was deserted, and the nearest house was nearly 100 meters away.

Moreover, it was at the foot of the mountain, in a dense forest, so there was no chance of being seen by anyone.

5 month 19 day.

The prosecutor concluded part of the investigation but found nothing.

5 month 22 day.

.

In Yanzhou City, the municipal people's procuratorate filed a public prosecution with the Chongzhou Intermediate People's Court.

Two days later.

On May 24th, the court sent a message confirming the court hearing information.

It was later than Xu De had anticipated.

The first trial was scheduled for June 15.

The trial is about to begin.

Only....

...less than 20 days!

At this point, Xu De... had not yet taken any action!

He was like a caregiver specifically for the elderly, responsible for taking care of Zhang Xiuning, an elderly woman, at the Third People's Hospital of Chongzhou City.

dark place.

He observed Xu De's every move closely and fell into a deep contemplation unlike anything he had ever done before.

until..

5 month 26 number.

5 month 26 number.

That day!

Chongzhou City, Third People's Hospital.

On the sixth floor of the inpatient building, in a corridor that smelled of disinfectant.

As the nurses passed by the ward, they would all cast surprised glances at the group of people standing at the door of one of the wards.

In front of the ward.

Xu De, Wang Chao, and Zhang Qian stood at the door.

In addition, there were two strangers, an old man and a young boy, who were looking around.

"The investigation is almost complete."

After Wang Chao and Zhang Qian finished their more than ten days of visits and investigations, he returned to the ward, plopped down on a public chair, exhaled a breath of stale air, and relaxed completely.

He turned his head, glanced at Xu De standing ramrod straight in the doorway, and muttered, "Brother Xu, that bastard Zhu Dali is no good."

After meeting with Zhu Dali's family, Liu Xiufen.

Xu De then arranged for him and Zhang Qian to investigate the hospital and other related information, and it wasn't until now that he had finished his investigation.

"Not a good bird at all?"

At this moment, Xu De paused.

An expression of interest crossed his face. Xu crossed his arms and asked, "What did you find out?"

I found out...

""

Wang Chao paused suddenly, then said, "I didn't find anything."

"You didn't find anything?"

Xu De rolled his eyes. "Then what are you going to comment on?!"

Seeing this, Zhang Qian quickly added, "What Attorney Wang means is that Zhu Dali's physical condition left no information."

1

"He might... well, not have gone to the hospital for a test, or not have been tested in Chongzhou City."

In short

"His fellow workers on the construction site knew nothing about his health condition."

"And judging from what Zhu Dali's wife, Liu Xiufen, said before the contact..."

""

"Zhu Dali wanted to hide his illness and borrow money from others, so that he could die and the debt would be wiped away."

"The reason I didn't tell my coworkers was because I was afraid they wouldn't lend me money if they knew I was sick."

From this perspective...

He's definitely not a good person; he's already figured out how to rip off his coworkers.

But if we can't find it, so be it. It's not a very important clue anyway. When the case breaks through, we can have the authorities re-examine it.

"And what about these two?"

Xu De turned his gaze to the two strangers who had been standing beside him.

Yes.

Besides bringing the message that he had "gained nothing," Wang Chao also brought two strangers with him this time.

One was old, the other young; both were men.

The former was around fifty years old, while the latter should only be eighteen.

At this moment, the two stood to the side, staring at each other with wide eyes.

"What's your name?"

Xu De tentatively asked the two of them.

"My name is Zhu Ming. I came here because he said there was money to be made."

54-year-old Zhu Ming scratched his head, a simple and honest expression on his face, looking rather embarrassed.

The 18-year-old then spoke up, "My name is Zhu Dali."

This is...

Zhu Dali, who shares the same name as the defendant? And Zhu Ming, who shares the same name as Zhu Dali's son?!

only....

Isn't this age a bit reversed?

It doesn't matter.

"Do you know why we brought you here?"

Xu De frowned, amusement spreading across his face as he looked at the two of them.

The 54-year-old "Zhu Ming" nodded, "I know, it's just a paternity test."

18-year-old Zhu Dali asked curiously, "Brother, I'm not his son, I don't know him at all. The only thing I share with this uncle is our surnames."

"7

Unexpectedly.

After he said that...

Xu De shook his head. "Of course I know you're not his son."

The words were spoken.

18-year-old Zhu Dali looked surprised.

You know? You know and you still came to do a paternity test!?

Just as he was pondering the truth, the words from the person in front of him instantly left him stunned and his mind blank.

"I now have doubts..."

""

"You are the father."

Xu Deman looked calmly at 18-year-old Zhu Dali, then pointed at 54-year-old Zhu Ming and said, "This uncle might be your son."

The two: ?

The middle-aged Zhu Ming was stunned. He looked at the man next to him, Zhu Dali, who was nearly forty years younger than him.

"He...he's my dad?"

Wait a minute, the other person is forty years younger than me!

Eighteen-year-old Zhu Dali looked at Zhu Ming, who was nearly forty years older than him, and felt a pang of sympathy. He couldn't help but look at Xu De and said openly, "Brother."

"When this strong uncle's kids were old enough to run errands... my own dad was still a novice."

"I don't even have a single cell in my body, how could I possibly have such a grown son?"

The words were spoken.

Xu De shook his head and asked openly, "Then do you two have any evidence to prove you're not father and son?"

The two were startled and pointed at each other, exclaiming, "Does this even need proof?!"

Xu De: "Of course we need to. We can't judge a book by its cover."

"What if you two have memory problems, and one of you looks older than the other?"

"Therefore, without objective information such as a DNA test report to prove it, the possibility of this father-son relationship exists...like Schrödinger's cat."

Two people:

Xu De thought for a moment, and finally said openly, "Of course, I won't let you satisfy my curiosity for nothing."

2

"After the test, it's 1,000 per person."

The words were spoken.

The 18-year-old Zhu Dali and the 54-year-old Zhu Ming looked at each other and said seriously, "You are right."

""

"Until we get results, this possibility certainly exists!"
