Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Chapter 242 You started with dirty tricks!

It's so gloomy...

That's so sinister!

Although Li Jian and Zhang Qian are not top lawyers, they have traveled all over the country for more than ten years, worked in boutique law firms, and dealt with top lawyers.

What kind of legal environment and what kind of legal opponents haven't they seen?

But today... Li Jian really couldn't help but say something sinister.

Yanzhou City.

The Third People's Hospital, at the main entrance.

"Snapped!"

Xu De opened the door of the rented car, and Lin Yue sat in the passenger seat.

"Buzz~!"

With a roar from the car engine, the car soon sped away, leaving the hospital behind only an exhaust tail.

Watching the car drive away.

Standing at the main entrance of the hospital, Li Jian could no longer hold back and turned to look at Wu Xin beside him.

He hesitated for a long time, then finally said in silence, "Attorney Wu, we..."

"Hmm, did we receive any money from Zhang Xiuning?"

Li Jian was starting to question the meaning of life.

His and Wu Xin and Zhang Qian's Dream Building Law Firm, as its name suggests, reflects their true intentions; they generally do not take on cases that go against their own principles.

All three of them actively participated in so-called public interest legal services or legal aid cases.

We are determined to safeguard the interests of the grassroots!

This is why the law firm has never developed and is now on the verge of bankruptcy.

As for Zhang Xiuning's case...

"We...shouldn't we be righteous?"

Lawyer Zhang Qian hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked the silent Wu Xin, raising an eyebrow and feeling uneasy.

Li Jian added, "According to movies, TV dramas, and societal morality, I think we should be upright."

Is he upright?

Indeed, judging from the actions, Zhang Mushan was killed while collecting a debt.

The murderer not only found someone to take the blame and die in his place, but also brought people to the hospital to deliberately provoke Zhang Xiuning's family member early in the morning when she was relatively weak, almost causing her death.

And what about them?

They helped Zhang Xiuning without pay or charge.

From this perspective...

He is indeed upright, and meets the standards of uprightness.

But then again...

"Why do I get the feeling... that the methods used aren't exactly ethical?"

Zhang Qian couldn't help but blurt out a sentence.

"Aren't we being a bit...?"

"Is that unethical?"

The words were spoken.

Li Jian remained silent, clearly indicating that he shared this view.

He had never seen such a cunning person in his life, yet somehow it was all done legally and compliantly, without breaking the law.

Let me put it this way.

Conspiracy will be exposed, and once exposed, the other party will face the iron fist of the official judiciary.

For example, Sun Hu, if his attempt to resist punishment and take the blame is exposed, the original 80% chance of a suspended death sentence will drop to 50%, while the other 50%... will be an immediate death sentence!

But Xu De's strategy was different.

"This is not a conspiracy."

Wu Xin felt it was necessary to defend Xu De, who would later become his director.

He struggled to speak, saying, "This is an open conspiracy!"

"Attorney Xu is doing things openly and honestly; it can't be called a conspiracy. We are fundamentally different from Sun Hu!"

"Even if Attorney Xu were to lay bare all his actions to Sun Hu in detail... or even tell the police, prosecutors, and the court, it still wouldn't stop the progress of the matter."

Let me put it this way.

So even if the prosecutor and the police knew he was going to lie, they could only stand by and watch.

Even if you know everything, it's useless.

The other party couldn't possibly tell Zhu Dali in advance that the test report was deliberately designed to provoke him, could they?

This will only make Zhu Dali more suspicious of the blood relationship!

There's a saying, "trying to cover up something only makes it more obvious," which perfectly explains the meaning.

"But isn't this overt scheme a bit underhanded?"

Zhang Qian couldn't resist.

Wu Xin anxiously tried to explain, "How can you call it 'yin'?"

"We call this... well, it's like giving someone a taste of their own medicine."

"They started with dirty tricks!"

at the same time.

Chongzhou City, inside the detention center.

"Hello, please register here... Um, you want to see Zhu Dali, right? Okay, please wait here for a moment."

Detention center.

Xu De waited in the lobby for a while, and soon the police led him to the meeting room.

Generally speaking, the meetings between lawyers and defendants are subject to very strict supervision.

For example, cell phones are not allowed, and there are surveillance cameras in the meeting room.

In principle.

When the two parties meet, no third party, namely the police, should be present to avoid them having to speak in a veiled manner.

But the words came back again.

This is only in principle that we cannot listen to it. In reality, we can use a camera and find a lip-reading expert to translate everything that the two are saying. It's just that we can't take it to court.

Therefore, some lawyers who are fully aware that they have violated the law will not discuss the follow-up of the case with their clients in the meeting room.

But Xu De was different.

Aside from having some moral issues, he is far more law-abiding than anyone else!

"Someone might watch the surveillance footage? Let them watch it then, openly and honestly," Xu De didn't care at all.

at this time.

"Squeak~"

The police officers led Xu De to the door of the previously familiar meeting room, opened the door, and then stood to the side.

"You can go in now," the police officer gestured.

"it is good."

Xu De smiled slightly.

Immediately.

He then stepped into the meeting room.

The meeting room remains the same. Chongzhou is not a large city, so there are no extra funds for expansion. Of course, one meeting room is also sufficient.

Same as before.

The defendant, Zhu Dali, is sitting right across from the lawyer.

The other person was wearing a uniform and had his hands handcuffed. When he saw that the person was Xu De, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face darkened.

See here.

Xu De smiled knowingly. He slowly walked to the glass separating the two of them, sat down, picked up the landline, and chuckled, "What?"

"Mr. Zhu, are you a little surprised to see me here?"

"Or are you not so happy? Are you waiting for Yan Mi to give you good news?"

"Or... do you think Yan Mi can get you out of jail? Haha, to be honest, if you're hoping for that... go to the prosecutor now and say you didn't kill Zhang Mushan, and you can leave the detention center!"

His words were clearly meant to be sarcastic.

Zhu Dali remained expressionless, staring at the smiling face through the glass. After a long while, he slowly spoke into the landline, "Did you need something?"

"Can't I come if there's nothing wrong? Mr. Zhu, I really enjoy chatting with you about everyday things."

Xu De waved his hand, appearing indifferent.

Zhu Dali's face showed a sneer, "Heh, if it's just about chatting about everyday things... I'm not interested. You can just pick someone else."

talking.

Zhu Dali got up to leave, ending the meeting.

only...

"Mr. Zhu, I think one shouldn't be too impatient."

"It's like, you can't rush to plead guilty and then pronounce a sentence before you've figured everything out."

In a daze, the mockery on Xu De's face disappeared, replaced by a look of amusement.

He held the landline phone in his left hand and placed his right hand on the marble table, tapping rhythmically with his index finger.

What do you think?

Zhu Dali paused for a moment after lifting his buttocks, then lowered them again. He looked the person in front of him up and down, his brows furrowed, clearly not expecting what the other person meant.

Before things are cleared up?

No.

In fact, Zhu Dali had thought of everything he needed to do before deciding to die in someone else's place.

For example, that 15 yuan for taking someone's place.

The judiciary isn't stupid. Zhu Dali, a suspect in the case, had barely died when Liu Xiufen's account suddenly saw an additional 15 yuan—a fortune most people couldn't accumulate in 15 years...

During the subsequent investigation, the police will definitely realize the problem.

Therefore, the money cannot be given immediately; it will take a long time.

However, Zhu Dali couldn't hold on for that long. He had to see the money fall into Liu Xiufen's hands before he died, and then she would come to the prison to tell him before he could die in peace.

If he's not at ease, then Zhu Dali is very likely to reveal the truth of the case before he dies!

It can be said that both sides have enough leverage over each other.

And so.

Sun Hu arranged the car accident a year later.

First of all, even if the death penalty is carried out immediately, the person will not be executed within a few days. Instead, they will be imprisoned for several years. A year later, Zhu Dali will neither be executed nor will he be at the point where pancreatic cancer will take his life.

at this time.

Liu Xiufen ran a red light and was hit by a car. She paid 15 yuan in compensation and then went to prison. She told her husband not to worry about the family.

Doesn't that sound reasonable?

and so.

Sun Hu had already considered everything he needed to think about. This wasn't the first time he'd taken someone else's place; he had long since developed his own safety procedures to avoid legal repercussions.

"Regarding the guilty plea... I was just telling the truth."

Inside the glass.

Zhu Dali's slanted eyes narrowed, his gaze sharpened, and he stared at the person in front of him as he casually spoke.

"Or... is it normal for me to make excuses?"

"This is not an excuse."

Xu De shook his head. "What I mean is, Mr. Zhu, didn't you think about your wife and children before you confessed?"

Zhu Dali said, "If you make a mistake, you should be punished. I killed that person, so it's reasonable for me to pay with my life."

"My wife also supports my plea of guilty."

The words were spoken.

He raised his head, leaned back in his chair, and struck a pose of utter defiance.

This is the tricky part about the substitute, especially when the other party is a terminally ill patient. You can't do anything about them. Calling them a tortoise shell is an understatement. A tortoise shell is not as hard as the other party's!

Ordinary scapegoats are always afraid of one of the following: threats, intimidation, or beatings.

Terminal illness is different. No matter how heinous your actions are, can you really kill him?

Besides, they're not even afraid of death!

only.

"Oh?"

"Does your wife strongly support your plea of guilty?"

In a daze.

Xu De raised an eyebrow, a slight smile appearing on his face, and looked at Zhu Dali through the glass with amusement and amusement.

That gaze felt like being pricked by needles.

Although he couldn't feel any pain, Zhu Dali frowned and felt uncomfortable all over.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Dali asked in a deep voice.

Liu Xiufen knew that he had confessed.

If you don't know, then it will be difficult for the other party to cooperate at the scene of the car accident a year later.

As for why the other party didn't stop the substitution... it's because Liu Xiufen knew that pancreatic cancer was indeed incurable... or perhaps they didn't have the money for treatment.

Therefore, Liu Xiufen not only did not object, but also supported Zhu Dali's death!

"It's nothing, just something I felt compelled to say."

Xu De sighed.

Under Zhu Dali's increasingly solemn and suspicious gaze, he paused for a moment, seemingly lost in thought.

Immediately, Xu De changed the subject and said, "Mr. Zhu."

Do you know which age group is most likely to experience infidelity in modern society?

Cheating?

Zhu Dali's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, gradually forming a knot, racking his brains but still unable to understand what the person in front of him was saying.

He didn't reply.

Xu De didn't wait for a reply, but instead said to himself, "According to domestic statistics, most men who cheat are between the ages of 40 and 55."

"During this period, the average age of marriage is between 10 and 25 years. The passion between couples fades, there is a long-term lack of communication, and there is anxiety about self-worth in middle age."

Most men who cheat do so during middle age.

This is influenced by many factors, such as work. During youth, work takes up all of a person's time.

Here's a hellish joke.

You've been squeezed into work even to the point of having an affair, so it's hard for you to find a mistress.

Women are more likely to commit adultery during...

"The average age for women to have affairs is between 35 and 40 years old."

"At this age, children are growing up, the pressure of raising children is decreasing, self-awareness is recovering, and there is a large emotional gap in the marriage, making it easier to have an affair due to emotional value."

There's a saying: "When man thinks, God laughs."

The more free time people have, the more they need emotional value.

In general.

You'll always have to work harder, both physically and mentally. That's why many women have plenty of free time when the pressure of raising children is reduced.

Their emotional needs increase, making them more prone to infidelity during this period.

only..

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean by cheating or not cheating?"

On the other side of the glass.

Zhu Dali listened, increasingly confused, completely baffled.

Xu De, however, showed no intention of explaining and continued, "But in reality, there's also a minor downturn, commonly known as the seven-year itch."

"The probability of infidelity also increases slightly after 5 to 7 years of marriage."

"and."

"Compared to marriages based on free choice, arranged marriages have a significantly higher infidelity rate, with a staggering 34.1% exhibiting a tendency towards infidelity!"

Speaking of which...

Xu De paused, his gaze sharpened, and he looked back at Zhu Dali.

In a daze.

He spoke slowly, his words directed at the other person.

"Mr. Zhu, if I remember correctly, your son was born five years ago, and you conceived six years ago."

"And you are 34 years old this year, and six years ago, you were... 28 years old."

"You got married through a blind date when you were 22 years old... If you calculate the time, you got pregnant exactly in the sixth year of your marriage, which is the period of the seven-year itch."

Hearing this, Zhu Dali finally understood.

His heart tightened.

Just as he was about to say something, about to deny it...

In a daze...

The person in front of me suddenly pulled out a document from his briefcase.

A document, in black and white!

This is a biological DNA paternity test!

this.....

Suddenly.

Across from the meeting room.

Zhu Dali's pupils suddenly contracted, his muscles tensed, and he stood up from his chair, staring intently at the appraisal report.

All I saw was...
