Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

People are forced out.

Yan Mi used to scoff at this statement, believing that a person's improvement comes from accumulated effort over time.

But now it's different.

He also experienced what it felt like to be forced into a corner!

Zhu Dali was pressuring him, forcing him to close the case; Sun Hu was also pressuring him, making him defend the executioner who had fallen into a dead end.

Xu De was putting him under immense pressure; if he wasn't careful, he could become the fifth defendant!

There was no other way but Yan Mi had to take a gamble and do everything she could before the trial.

"Your Honor, regarding this case, we still do not know the cause of death of the second defendant, Wang Han."

"First of all, we only know two clues."

"First, reporter Wang Han filmed the process of assaulting Huang Chengwei."

"Second, the body of Wang Han photographed by the deceased Wu Tao."

"We only have these two clues, and judging from the latter, the defendants, including Sun Hu, had absolutely no involvement whatsoever!"

"If that's the case, on what basis does the prosecution suspect the defendant, Sun Hu, of involvement in the murder of Wang Han?"

Yan Mi spoke slowly.

He's just making excuses, but now that things have come to this, what else can he do but argue and wait to die?

Moreover, there is indeed some truth to what he said.

However, from the perspective of Wang Han's death, unless one has a God's-eye view, there are absolutely no direct clues.

Of course, intentional homicide... is not determined solely by whether the perpetrator acted with subjective intent.

In a daze.

Just as everyone was pondering this.

Suddenly, a voice came from the prosecutor's seat and the victim's legal representative's seat.

"Your Honor, the defendant's statements completely disregard factual basis and concrete evidence, and are purely attempts to evade responsibility!"

"This lacks a fundamental, pragmatic mindset!"

All I saw was...

From the proxy seat, Xu De suddenly spoke, interrupting the other party.

The words were barely out of their mouths when Yan Mi, who was about to speak, was choked up. His face turned pale and his fists clenched tightly.

Interrupted again... interrupted again!

"Damn it, damn it, does he think courtroom discipline is a joke?!"

Yan Mi was seething with rage.

The opposing party acts like they have no regard for the law when they file a lawsuit. Other lawyers are afraid of being punished with "recusal" if they speak out rashly, but the opposing party is doing the same thing.

It seems like they went there hoping to be asked to avoid it!

Whether it was the "Ninth Hospital Case" that I had studied, or the "Eighteenth Middle School Case" in Green Forest City, the other party was either on their way to interrupt or had already interrupted.

But ironically... he never got to "recusal" from court even once!

"Your Honor, we are ready to provide specific answers to the two questions raised by the defendant."

"first."

"That's their first point."

"Is there any evidence to prove that the defendant, Sun Hu, intentionally killed the victim, Huang Chengwei?"

Xu De paused, stood up slightly, and shook his head as he spoke.

"No, Wu Tao can testify!"

"First of all, everyone, think about it: the video of the incident was filmed by reporter Wang Han."

"In other words, he witnessed Sun Hu's actions towards Huang Chengwei, and in Sun Hu's eyes, Huang Chengwei was someone who knew what he had done."

"So, based on this, if the defendant Sun Hu did not kill Huang Chengwei, then...theoretically, what would Sun Hu's attitude be when facing Wang Han?"

for example.

If someone has evidence that you assaulted someone, and that person exposes it, you will spend three years in jail.

At this point, what price are you willing to pay to obtain the evidence in the other party's hands that could land you in jail for three years?

For example, how about giving 100,000 yuan?

Yes, an ordinary person would most likely give 100,000.

But what if they want five million? Or even ten million?

Would you give it to me?

Of course not.

Why?

There are two reasons: 1. I can't afford that much money; 2. It's not worth it!

Yes, it's not worth it. Let alone spending ten million to avoid spending three years in jail.

Even if it's ten years, if someone offered ten million to take ten years in jail for you, do you believe that your doorstep would be instantly trampled down!

However, when applied to this case, it becomes...

"If Sun Hu really didn't kill Huang Chengwei."

"Then why would he choose to cover it up by hiring a hitman?"

Xu De suddenly posed a riddle-like question.

The people present paused for a moment, then immediately understood.

Yes.

If Sun Hu didn't kill anyone, but caused death accidentally, then if Wang Han went to the police, Sun Hu would only be imprisoned for five years.

Because the other party has incriminating evidence against him over the past five years, he chose to commit intentional homicide, a crime punishable by death!?

To be honest, this doesn't quite align with reality.

In most cases, threats, beatings, or maiming are used to cover up the truth, but the other party chooses murder to cover it up. The only explanation is...

"The defendant, Sun Hu, did indeed murder the victim, Huang Chengwei!"

"Because Wang Han had his eye on him, Sun Hu decided to go all the way and hired someone to kill Wang Han. He approached Wu Tao and ordered him to kill Wang Han and bury him in his family's ancestral grave!"

Xu De's expression was serious, and his tone was full of determination.

His gaze shifted to Zhao De on the judge's bench.

"Your Honor, according to Article 29 of the Criminal Law, 'Instigator,' the original text clearly stipulates: 'Anyone who instigates another to commit a crime shall be punished according to the role he/she played in the joint crime.'"

"Sun Hu played a major role in this murder-for-hire case; he was both an instigator and the perpetrator."

"Therefore, it is entirely reasonable for the public prosecutor to charge the defendant Sun Hu with 'intentional homicide' under Article 232 of the Criminal Law!"

Most people probably haven't thought about this question.

That is, between the buyer and the perpetrator, who is usually convicted of intentional homicide?

After all, the buyer only spent money but didn't actually kill anyone, while the perpetrator only took the money to do the job but actually killed someone.

So, who is the perpetrator of the crime?

From a practical legal perspective, these two are considered to have committed a "joint crime," meaning... both of them are guilty of "intentional homicide"!

Therefore, even though Sun Hu did not kill Wang Han, as long as he was the main person in planning this murder-for-hire case, he should be sentenced for "intentional homicide" in relation to Wang Han's death!

"objection!"

In the dock.

Yan Mi's face was grim, and without the slightest hesitation, he immediately voiced his objection.

What is meant by "reverse deduction"? Let's use another guess to verify whether Sun Hu killed Huang Chengwei.

Damn it, since when can speculation be used as a rebuttal?!

"Your Honor, the plaintiff's legal representative's statement is based on subjective speculation and is divorced from objective evidence. We express our strong dissatisfaction!"

"We request the presiding judge to remove our representative from the courtroom for recusal!"

Yan Mi wanted to slip away and run away.

Therefore, what he is doing right now is the strategy of "delaying"!

Yes.

Unlike the last time he fought Xu De, where he wanted a quick victory and absolutely could not allow the court to adjourn, as an adjournment would lead to trouble.

Now, he wants to adjourn the court... If the issues are not resolved, then the case will definitely be adjourned!

If the prosecutors and police were to investigate these issues, it would take at least six months!

He can hold out for six months.

But what about Zhu Dali?

It would be a miracle if Zhu Dali survives the next year!

When the time comes, once Zhu Dali, the "client" on the contract, dies, he will withdraw directly, and no matter how much Sun Hu threatens him, it will be to no avail.

There are two reasons for this. First, he ran away, so Sun Hu needs to find another lawyer as soon as possible, because the other party will focus all their attention on this lawyer.

Secondly... as time goes by, even if Sun Hu really explodes against him, it won't matter.

In 2003, no indictment or evidence could withstand the test of time!

and so.

Yan Mi continued to delay, as long as he could drag the case into recess, he wouldn't be afraid of being dragged down by Sun Hu, and this method of delaying would be effective against Sun Hu!

only......

Xu Deli ignored him completely.

He ignored the other person and spoke again, directly addressing the other person's second question.

"Secondly, there is the second point."

"As the defendant previously stated, there is no evidence whatsoever that Wu Tao hired someone to commit murder..."

"Does this mean we should ignore the current evidence and need to adjourn the court again for a second round of investigation?"

Xu De countered with a question, his face showing considerable displeasure, and said bluntly:

"First of all, there was a reason why Wang Han was killed by the defendant Sun Hu."

As they were talking.

He took the photo out of his briefcase.

This photo... is clearly a frame from a video taken by Wang Han showing Sun Hu assaulting Huang Chengwei.

"The victim, Wang Han, was aware of the details of the murder committed by the defendant, Sun Hu!"

Murder to silence witnesses... This ironclad rule has been demonstrated in many cases and can certainly be used as a reason for Sun Hu to kill Wang Han.

Now that we have the cause, we need to find evidence of collusion between Sun Hu and Wu Tao.

Secondly...

"Your Honor, the defendant, Sun Hu, gave the deceased, Wu Tao, a car."

"A...taxi!"

As he spoke, Xu De pulled out a second piece of evidence.

He held it high.

This is a car, a blue used taxi.

"On June 26, 2000."

「也就是距离6月1日，黄成伟死亡的20余天后，7月2日王翰遇害前6天。」

"The company owned by the defendant Sun Hu transferred the ownership of this taxi to Wu Tao under the guise of company welfare."

"And six days after the second property transfer, Wang Han died!"

"Excuse me, is it really true that there was no involvement during this period...? Even the defendant's lawyer probably doesn't believe it himself, right?"

Reasonable speculation, but it sounds like there's no definitive answer.

But what about the other way around?

Chain of evidence!

Yes.

The chain of evidence means that the various pieces of evidence can be linked together to reconstruct the crime scene.

Instead, all the evidence was pieced together like a jigsaw puzzle to reveal the entire process of the case.

What Xu De said was not just random speculation, but a reasonable chain of evidence that could be used to bring charges!

Of course, it's not something that can't be overturned.

"objection!"

"Your Honor, what the other party said is quite clear: the taxis were provided as a company benefit."

"Moreover, this car only cost 47,000 yuan in 2000. Even a skilled worker earning 1,000 yuan a month could buy it outright in three or four years!"

Yan Mi had a few beads of sweat on his forehead and was breathing heavily.

In the defendant's seat.

Sun Hu was handcuffed, his face was ashen, his eyes were filled with a fierce light as if he wanted to devour Xu De, his fists were clenched so tightly that even the iron chains of the handcuffs were stretched straight.

"Its value is far too low!"

Yan Mi reiterated this statement with certainty.

If someone has an extra million dollars in their bank account before committing murder, you can reasonably suspect that they were paid to kill.

But one person had an extra 50 cents in his card before committing murder.

Can you say he killed someone because of that five cents?

No!

This taxi fare is 50 cents.

Even if Wu Tao was smart enough to see that the taxi would be very valuable, three years ago in 2000, the car was worth less than 50,000 yuan.

Fifty thousand yuan for a life?

Only a fool would do that!

Unexpectedly...

"Yes, it's so cheap, really cheap."

Xu De suddenly changed the subject and said something that echoed the other person's words.

These words did not make Yan Mi lower his guard; on the contrary, they made him tense up and he was very surprised.

Why?

Based on the other party's past record, if they say something like that, it basically means... they've fallen into a trap!

He guessed right.

That's just the truth!

Suddenly, Xu De's gaze sharpened, like an incomparably sharp sword piercing the defendant's dock, where a sickly man with unhealthy yellow skin stood.

This is... Zhu Dali!

"presiding judge!"

"On June 15, 2003, in the case of Mushan, the Yanzhou Intermediate People's Court conducted a trial of the defendant Zhu Dali."

"During the trial, the defendant Zhu Dali had to adjourn the court due to an emotional breakdown."

"I clearly remember this person saying it himself..."

As he spoke, Xu De paused, his gaze sharpening and flickering slightly, before uttering a sentence, repeating it verbatim:

"【Do you think I'm worthless? Do you think I'm like that person from three years ago, someone who would sell their life for a few tens of thousands of yuan, not even worth as much as your dog...?】"

During the last court hearing, Zhu Dali said something.

The other party said that three years ago there was a worthless life.

The other party also said that you could sell your life for tens of thousands of yuan.

This sentence alone doesn't seem particularly significant, but considering the current situation...

Yan Mi himself said that the taxi was only worth 4.7 yuan. If it was used to buy a life, then it was incredibly cheap!

In an instant.

The pupils of everyone present suddenly contracted.

The prosecutors in the prosecution booth widened their eyes slightly, immediately recalling that there was indeed such a clue, but they had overlooked it during the subsequent investigation. At this moment, they felt a chill run down their spines.

dock.

Yan Mi's face suddenly turned ashen, blood rushed to his forehead, his veins throbbed, and his blood pressure soared.

He had intended to refute the claim of buying life by emphasizing the excessively low physical angle.

But this sentence was truly overlooked...

This statement, which everyone had forgotten, has now been proven true!

Yan Mi's breathing was heavy, his eyes were terrifying as he stared intently at Zhu Dali in the defendant's seat. If looks could devour people, then the other person would most likely have already been dismembered and chewed up and swallowed alive!

Zhu Dali was somewhat bewildered, having no recollection of ever saying such a thing.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as someone remembers!

"The defendant!"

From his seat as the proxy, Xu De's expression was serious. His gaze was fixed on Yan Mi, whose face was unusually grim, and he coldly rebuked him:

"Please..."

"Provide an explanation immediately!"

......

P.S.: Please vote for me! qaq!
