Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Chapter 253 Racing Against Death!

Sun Hu must be arrested. Even if there isn't enough evidence right now, just a confession is enough to warrant arrest.

Evidence is needed to convict someone.

Detention is only necessary if there is suspicion!

As for those who betrayed them and used their teammates as pawns... Yue Feng and Zhao Qian could only swallow their bitterness and suffer in silence.

Immediately, he led his men to Hongyang Civil Engineering Company to arrest Sun Hu!

And what was Xu De doing?

After the court session adjourned, Xu De received a phone call at the court. After listening to the content of the call, his expression changed, and he rushed to the Third People's Hospital of Yanzhou City.

Inside the Third People's Hospital of Yanzhou City.

In the corridor, a series of hurried footsteps echoed in everyone's ears. As the footsteps drew closer, Xu De gradually appeared before them.

.

In front of the ICU ward.

"How is it!?"

"How are the family members? Are they in a stable condition?"

Xu De slowed his pace. He looked at Yang Bing and Wang Chao at the door, panting as he spoke, his chest heaving.

Lin Yue, Li Jian, and the others behind them were panting heavily as they ran, and only then did they catch up.

"It's alright for now."

Doorway.

Lawyer Yang Bing turned his head and looked at Xu De beside him, and his heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally settled down.

After saying that, Xu De breathed a slight sigh of relief.

only...

"but."

As soon as the name Yang Bing appeared, Xu De suddenly held his breath and focused.

As we all know, once the word "but" or "however" is uttered, everything that comes before it is considered nonsense.

that's the truth.

Yang Bing said with a serious expression, "But!"

"The doctor's exact words were... the elderly person's condition is very unstable."

Very unstable?

These four words were uttered.

"What happened?"

Xu De's brows furrowed instantly, and he took a deep breath.

He turned his head and looked at the ICU ward, staring through the window at Zhang Xiuning, who was lying on the bed, her body emaciated, her breathing long and shallow, her chest rising and falling only once every long while, like a mummy.

"Why did someone have an accident again out of nowhere..."

""

The image of the two missing lawyers flashed through his mind, and his brow furrowed.

"Is it Yan Mi's side stirring things up again!?"

After the first trial adjourned, Wang Chao called him.

The phone call was about the family of the deceased Zhang Mushan, who was also Zhang Xiuning, the person on my behalf. The other party... was in extremely poor physical condition!

In the morning.

Zhang Xiuning's delirium subsided, and she suddenly regained a clear mind, even eating more.

While the other person was still conscious, the police and Wang Chao began to talk to him about Zhang Mushan's death... but the other person just remained silent.

There was no particular emotion involved.

However, this situation took a sharp turn for the worse in the afternoon.

"It's not due to external interference."

"The hospital said that the old woman was very old. She was a scavenger, and it was a miracle that she lived to be 74 years old in that kind of environment."

"According to friends of the family, Zhang Xiuning's health had been deteriorating day by day before the accident. She was sleeping more and more, eating less and less, and her spirits were gradually declining."

"Now, after Zhang Mushan's provocation..."

"In addition to the illnesses accumulated in my early years..."

"7

On the other side, Wang Chao's expression was very serious. He shook his head as he spoke and did not continue.

But everyone knew what he meant.

Zhang Xiuning...is getting old, or rather, she has reached the point where her life is nearing its end.

The other person is 74 years old this year, which is quite old!

The other party had experienced war and was more than ten years older than the people of Dongguo. In his early years, he suffered from hunger and hardship, escaping war and famine, which caused him to accumulate a lot of health problems. In middle age, he was begging for food in the garbage.

In his later years, he also experienced the murder of Zhang Mushan...

This is too much of a burden for a 74-year-old.

The pressure made it difficult for her already hunched body to straighten up, and it even caused her to collapse!

Everyone fell silent.

Xu De wanted to smoke a cigarette, but since this was a hospital, he had to suppress the thought. At the same time, he realized another problem.

"Zhang Xiuning...how much time do you have left?"

These words were spoken.

His expression was unusually serious.

The people around her paused, and Lin Yue immediately realized what he was talking about, her pupils shrinking slightly.

"You mean... the elderly person might not be able to hold on before the court adjourns!?"

After saying that, Lin Yue slightly covered her lips, her face showing astonishment.

In layman's terms, Zhang Xiuning might die of old age before the verdict in Zhang Mushan's case is announced.

What will this lead to?

This will lead to...

The civil aspects have been completely erased!

Xu De and others were involved in the case as Zhang Mushan's civil litigation agents. Since Zhang Mushan and Zhang Xiuning were both dead, there was no civil dispute. Even if the other party needed civil compensation, it would be handled by the authorities.

In general...

"The case needs to be expedited; if it drags on... we'll only suffer!"

Xu De took a deep breath and looked solemnly at Zhang Xiuning in the ICU.

Once the other party passes away.

I will have no authority to attend the trial or conduct any investigations into the case. At that time, without any evidence of Sun Hu's murder, the case is very likely to become a backlog.

Therefore, Sun Hu will be exonerated and will not bear any responsibility for the murder!

Therefore... we can only speed things up and find the irrefutable evidence before the other party passes away!

But here's the problem...

"How much longer can Zhang Xiuning hold on?" lawyer Wu Xin asked worriedly.

Wang Chao shook his head. "A year? Six months? Two months? Anything is possible."

Wu Xin couldn't help but spit out, "Damn it, Sun Hu, that beast!"

The opponent's move was very vicious.

In the early stages of the case, they directly brought men to attack Zhang Xiuning, causing her to fall into a state of utter exhaustion.

They initially thought that Zhang Xiuning was not dead but just delirious, which wouldn't have much of an impact on them.

But unexpectedly...

The foreshadowing has suddenly exploded right now!

"How's the case going on your end?"

Wang Chao couldn't hold back any longer, clenching his fists. "Aren't we going to fall into another long and tedious investigation phase? Maybe we haven't even broken through yet!?"

Upon hearing this...

Li Jian waved his hands and said helplessly, "You guessed right."

Upon hearing this, the two people in front of him looked surprised.

"That's really true..."

'

The investigation was very time-consuming.

Any investigative action by prosecutors requires a report and approval before the investigation can proceed.

In ordinary criminal cases, the police usually need to conduct an investigation for a month after transferring the case to the prosecutor's office. Now, the investigation of Sun Hu... who has no evidence against him at all, could take years!

Saying it's both tedious and long-winded doesn't even begin to capture its complexity.

until..

"We need to find out what 'Hongyang Company' did three years ago."

Xu De spoke, his brows furrowing, a clue that wasn't exactly a lead surfacing in his mind.

Lin Yue, standing beside him, paused slightly, immediately realizing what he was saying.

"You mean... that casual remark Zhu Dali made during the trial?"

A look of surprise crossed her face.

During the trial, Zhu Dali broke down and uttered the phrase "a worthless life three years ago," a detail that few people noticed.

in other words.

Three years ago, another life vanished without a trace? Death!?

That was the previous Zhu Dali?

Hongyang Company had problems three years ago?

"Isn't this... a bit too hasty?"

After much deliberation, Lin Yue finally concluded, "If Zhu Dali finds out, the prosecutor will definitely be able to uncover clues during the subsequent interrogation."

"If we only know that such a person exists from some small places... then we are unlikely to find any clues."

The facts are as she said.

Zhu Dali learned about this lowly life through an introduction from someone in Pigeon City.

Apart from that, no other clues were known, and the middleman...

Such a shrewd person, if they wanted to catch their target in 2003, should be prepared for a protracted battle of at least ten years.

ten years?

Let's not even talk about the fact that Zhang Xiuning might not last a year.

Even Zhu Dali, he won't live past three years! By then, even if we catch him, it will be too late!

"That's why I said to start the investigation with [Hongyang Civil Engineering Company]!"

Xu De finalized his investigation direction and reaffirmed it a second time.

He tapped his right hand on his left palm and said, "Let's put it this way."

"Suppose there was someone working so hard three years ago, and if it was him, could it indirectly indicate that something happened at the construction site three years ago... or rather, that the company got into trouble?"

"If something escalates to the point where money and lives are needed to resolve it, then it's definitely not a trivial matter, and information about it will surely circulate."

"By analyzing the information that has been passed down, we can indirectly determine who was involved in the incident, and then investigate those individuals to find relevant clues!"

Xu De slowly began to speak, clarifying the logic.

There really isn't a single clue left in Zhang Mushan's case.

However, if a second death is brought into the case, proving that Sun Hu did indeed buy a life, then, in conjunction with Zhu Dali, the court will directly find Sun Hu guilty!

In general.

It doesn't matter if there are no leads in Zhang Mushan's case. As long as we dig into the other party's dirty laundry, we can completely destroy them from another angle.

"Where to start?"

After a moment's thought, Wu Xin's eyes lit up, and he immediately seconded the proposal without the slightest hesitation.

"Should we ask Zhu Dali first?"

After thinking for a moment, Xu De finally shook his head and said, "It's not our turn."

Is he changing his plea in court, or in front of hundreds of people...?

The authorities are extremely anxious right now.

The prosecutors and police will definitely take turns interrogating Zhu Dali, so there's no time for a lawyer at this critical juncture.

so....

"Inspect the workers at the construction site!"

"Hongyang Company has only one core construction team, which has existed since the company was founded."

"Have the construction workers check."

Xu De spoke up, pointing out a clear path.

The company's core business lies in construction sites.

The construction site and the construction team are intertwined, so if the company really did run into trouble three years ago...

The workers are the most likely to know!

"Chaozi, Zhenjun, you and Attorney Li come with me."

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu De began the process of selecting his troops. He didn't have much time left; it was a race against death.

We must solve the case before Zhang Xiuning falls ill and passes away soon!

Otherwise... in this case, the agent would be instantly kicked out of the game by the rules.

If Zhu Dali dies then, the case will end in Sun Hu's victory.

As for the time left for Xu De... well, it's estimated that there are only two months left.

"Go to the construction site and conduct separate investigations!"

After saying this, Xu De prepared to walk out.

Wang Chao's eyes lit up, and he instantly became excited. Finally, he had something to do!

Yang Bing, on the other hand, seemed anxious and stopped Xu De, stammering, "What about me? What about me?"

He's been sitting in the hospital for a month now, and he really can't stand it anymore.

"you?"

Xu De glanced through the window at Zhang Xiuning's lifeline inside the ICU. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Attorney Yang, wait until the family members are awake."

Yang Bing was excited, his fists clenched. "What should we do after we wake up?"

"Tell her jokes," Xu De said. "Tell the family a few jokes to calm her down."

If someone tells a joke that excites the other person, someone with a heart condition might laugh so hard they could die suddenly.

But the other party is different.

The jokes told by the other party only calm people down, which is exactly what we need to do with Zhang Xiuning's "talk therapy" right now!

Yang Bing:

His eye twitched, and after a long silence, he sighed and said, "Fine... fine."

After determining what each person needs to do.

Xu De then turned and walked out with his men. There were four of them in total, including himself, and they could fit in one car.

The four got into the car, Xu De sat in the driver's seat, turned the car around, and sped towards the company where the deceased Zhang Mushan and the defendant Zhu Dali had worked.

A construction site is a place where all kinds of people come together; it's like a small society where you can see the true nature of different people.

There are honest people, and there are also cunning and sly people.

The core construction team of [Hongyang Civil Engineering Company] is located at a construction site for a hospital.

A community hospital!

Although it is not large in scale, the hospital is by no means small due to the development of the times.

The construction site has been under construction for two years, and the basic outline has been completed. The construction site is located near the company, so the two construction sites are just a short walk apart.

"Buzz~!"

When Xu De and others arrived at the construction site, the vehicle had just come to a stop.

The sun had already quietly set, and the yellow and red twilight spilled onto the streets.

"Smack!"

The car door opened, and four people got out. A group of workers with cement-stained camouflage jackets walked towards them, heading home from get off work in twos and threes.

Wang Chao looked down at his phone.

"Tsk, it's 5:30 in the afternoon, and people are starting to leave the construction site one after another."

Lawyer Li Jian said, "But thankfully, at least everyone is still here."

The court adjourns at 4 p.m.

The construction site starts at five o'clock, and the workers begin to leave work one after another.

It's 5:30 now. If you're lucky and didn't leave work early... the subcontractors and other workers on the construction site who are most likely to know the news are still inside.

"Chaozi, go buy two cartons of good cigarettes."

Xu De thought for a moment, then took out a few hundred yuan and asked the other party to buy some cigarettes, which he would use to get closer to them and gather information later.

"become."

Wang Chao took the money and prepared to leave.

As everyone turned their heads around, preparing to search for something, Ye Gong...

In a daze...

A sharp siren rang in everyone's ears.

"Waaaaah~"

Xu De, Wang Chao, and the others were taken aback and subconsciously looked up at the end of the road, where a few blurry figures suddenly appeared.

The shadows gradually grew larger, the blurry image became clearer, and blue and red flashes appeared.

This is...

police car!

"Disagreeable, thanks to the arrogance of the procuratorate." Li Jian raised an eyebrow and widened his eyes slightly.

That's right, the "Kang" in "police officer" and "prosecutor" is correct!

Several vehicles approached from a distance, but instead of continuing forward, they stopped at [Hongyang Tubao Construction Engineering Company].

The door stands.

"Slap slap!!!"

Several cars opened their doors, and a number of police officers filed out, then without the slightest hesitation, strode quickly toward the company.

In the middle, there was also the prosecutor's office's dog, whose appearance was very similar to a police dog. At this moment, there was also an extra gap in the car door.

"Click!"

""

The prosecutor's office opened its doors.

Two prosecutors came down from either side; they were prosecutors Yue Feng and Zhao Qian.

Judging from his furrowed brows, Chengren's mood was probably not very good at the moment. As he walked towards the company, he was talking to himself with his head down, his lips moving.

The more they talked, the more furrowed their brows became.

until..

Just a second before Prosecutor Nishi was about to follow the police into the company.

In a daze.

Prosecutor Zhao Qian seemed to notice something out of the corner of his eye. He paused for a moment, then immediately turned his head to look at several figures a few dozen meters away on the opposite side of the road.

Prosecutor Zhao Qian stopped in his tracks, narrowed his eyes, and looked suspiciously at the few blurry figures.

These Western figures are somehow losing money...

look familiar?

As he looked at it, Zhao Qian suddenly paused.

next second.

His pupils suddenly contracted.
