Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

This is a case, and it's a case where someone was sentenced to death in the first instance... How should it be resolved?

To be honest, it's basically unsolvable.

Why?

Because the first instance trial has concluded, the second instance court generally respects the first instance judgment, even if the second instance judge believes the first instance ruling was inappropriate...

So, unless it's particularly excessive, they basically won't change it.

And what did Li Jie do?

To say that the death penalty is entirely acceptable.

In short...

"I......"

The gaunt Li Jie sat inside, his head bowed, his clothes loosely draped over his shoulders. After a long while, he finally spoke:

"thank you."

"But no matter how the case ends, I will give you a commission..."

Commission fee?

As he spoke, Li Jie said with a hint of self-deprecation:

"Heh heh, I should have some inheritance. After my mother dies... you can take the money."

The beneficiary of the insurance contract he was deceived into was his own mother. There were only two ways to withdraw the money from this insurance: one, the premium would be automatically returned when the insurance expired, but this would take about ten years, although the amount was quite generous.

Second, if one's own mother passes away, the insurance will automatically pay out.

As for... whether he can still get the money after killing the insurance company owner, Wei Tian...

All I can say is that a contract is a contract, and no contract has ever contained a clause that prohibits the refusal of insurance coverage for cases where a family member of the insured has murdered the company's boss!

in other words.

Li Jie never thought he would survive; this case... he saw no chance of winning!

"Mr. Li, you don't need to be too pessimistic."

Xu De shook his head and offered a few words of comfort.

"I can try to argue for a reduced sentence for you."

He hasn't seen the "firearm" the other party has yet, so he can't make any definitive statements... But even if it really is a shooting, he can try to plead for a reduced sentence.

Not to mention the sentence being changed to three or four years in prison.

Even a suspended death sentence?

A suspended death sentence has been commuted to life imprisonment, which means serving more than 20 years. Although Li Jie is nearly 40 years old, he will be over 60 in 20 years... but he can still get out when he is over 60, instead of staying in prison until he dies.

As long as it's not a dead end, there's always hope!

I appreciate your kind offer.

Li Jie forced a smile, but it didn't come across as genuine.

See here.

Xu De knew that saying more was useless, after all, the case was indeed shrouded in mystery.

He simply took out a commission contract from his briefcase, handed it over through the gap, and Li Jie signed his name on the contract without even looking at it.

Followed by.

Xu De also signed his name on it. He carefully put the contract away, then looked at the other party and said:

"Mr. Li, from now on, your second-instance defense case in Haicheng Higher People's Court will be handled by our 'Houde Law Firm'. I will inform you as soon as there is any further news."

"Um."

Li Jie responded in silence.

The two concluded their meeting.

Shortly after, two policemen entered the meeting room and handed Li Jie a cane.

Li Jie stood up, picked up his cane, and walked out with difficulty, his empty right trouser leg swaying wildly.

Wait until the other person disappears from sight.

Xu De then looked away, shook his head, stood up, picked up his briefcase, and walked outside.

"Squeak~"

Close the door to the meeting room.

Xu De walked into the lobby of the detention center. At that time, there were still a few people resting in the lobby, and you could see some fatigue in their eyes.

But upon seeing him emerge, the group disregarded their rest and immediately stood up to greet him.

"How is it? What's the client's mood right now? Do they have any other requests, such as those related to their parents?"

Lin Yue couldn't help but bombard him with a series of questions.

Qian Hao, who was standing to the side, was more concerned with the details of the case. He frowned, thought for a moment, and then asked:

"Are there any favorable leads in the case? Or... should we approach it from the judge's discretionary perspective?"

Although the second instance court respects the first instance court in principle.

But the words came back again.

It's not allowed in principle, but it's feasible in reality!

The second instance is merely a matter of respect, not a reason why it's impossible. Their authority is much greater than that of the first instance. If they can truly persuade the judge to exercise their discretion... even a death sentence can be commuted to a suspended death sentence.

The possibility of Li Jie's case being filed is not nonexistent.

First, the perpetrator has a mother to support; second, the murder was justified, and the perpetrator was a vulnerable member of society, fitting the public's perception of a "victim." If handled well...

You could definitely try to argue for a reduced sentence!

"They don't have any demands; the client is very open-minded. At this point, it seems we can only rely on our own efforts to resolve the case."

Xu De first replied to Lin Yue's words, then looked at Qian Hao.

There is no favorable information.

"If it's something creative... the chances are slim."

"After all, this isn't the countryside, it's Haicheng."

The two paused for a moment, then immediately understood.

Why is it that in Haicheng, even creative ideas are useless, and reporters and public opinion cannot influence the judge?

Is it because those affected by the financial crisis have lost their compassion?

No.

for example.

If a homemade gun fired in a remote rural area and killed someone, then the only factor to consider is the concept of "shooting".

but.

What if the same gun were fired in Yanjing?

What if the sound is coming from within the Third Ring Road?

What if it's within the Second Ring Road?

Or even the so-called "first ring"?

You'll find that even if it's just a loud noise and no one is injured, the closer you get to the location, the more unusual the case becomes, and the more severe the punishment will be.

The same principle applies to this case.

"The shooting occurred in the center of Haicheng City, which is a commercial area and a densely populated area."

"The judge cannot afford not to punish the offender severely."

Xu De shook his head, advising the other party to abandon the unrealistic delusion of winning through "prayer".

It may sound harsh, but that's the truth.

The more prosperous a place is, the more important it is to maintain public order; similarly, the greater the consequences for criminals.

"So what do we do now? Go to the insurance company?"

Wang Chao scratched his head, thinking that he still had to start with the plaintiff's family.

"If the plaintiff can admit that there was a reason for the incident, and that the case was caused by the deceased 'Wei Tian', then... perhaps they can negotiate a suspended death sentence."

These words were spoken.

Before Xu Delin could speak, Qian Hao immediately shook his head.

"impossible!"

"It's easier to kill those bloodsucking parasites, those primitive, bloodthirsty hypocrites, than to make them admit their mistakes!"

As he spoke, he pushed up his glasses and said sarcastically:

"Of course, it could also be that the judicial environment is too good."

"If things got a bit chaotic, and there were a few more people like Li Jie, we wouldn't need to kill them before they apologized and admitted their mistakes."

"If a second person is shot and killed, in a so-called insurance or banking case, you'll find that those who wouldn't admit their responsibility suddenly become reasonable!"

"The bank also bears responsibility, and the insurance company isn't even arguing about the legality of the contract. They should compensate where they're owed and refund where they're owed."

His words were somewhat outrageous, but that's the truth.

"So what should we do?"

Wang Chao shrugged.

After a moment of thought, Xu De looked at Lin Yue.

"Draft a lawyer's letter, and together with the power of attorney I have, we'll go to court first."

"At the very least... we have to rely on ourselves first and find a breakthrough!"

Relying on others is useless.

Again.

Even if the judge has discretion.

If you have enough evidence to refute all charges, then... the judge's discretion will be restricted, and you will be able to control it!

"Okay." Lin Yue nodded.

Having made up their minds, the group acted without hesitation.

Before long, a lawyer's letter was drafted.

After making a few inquiries, the four headed towards the Haicheng Higher People's Court.

Meanwhile...

......

Huimin Ankang Insurance Company Limited.

7th floor, inside the office.

"Squeak~"

As a door opened.

Everyone in the office looked towards the person entering through the door. Upon recognizing the figure, one person raised an eyebrow and said in a nonchalant tone:

"Attorney Yan, I don't recall you having a habit of being late."

at this time.

Yan Mi, who was walking from the airport entrance to the company, looked up and saw a middle-aged woman with short hair and exquisite makeup mocking her.

Yan Mi stepped in silently and slowly said:

"There's a traffic jam on the road."

"Attorney Wang, as you know, Haicheng is always very congested."

Upon hearing this, the female lawyer surnamed Wang glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Yan Mi didn't pursue Yin Yang any further. After all, although the two had conflicts in private, now was not the time to start arguing.

He glanced around at the people sitting in the office and was startled.

Good guy.

The people in this office...

He knows at least seven well-known lawyers in Haicheng, all of whom are top-notch lawyers and senior partners in major law firms. One of them is even from Beijing!

In the main seat sat a somewhat young man, his face haggard but his eyes filled with gloom and anger.

Looking at the other person.

Yan Mi found an empty seat and sat down, then slowly began to speak:

"It's been years since I last saw all of you at the same time."

"Mr. Wei, is there a problem with the case?"

The implication is that it's like using a cannon to kill a mosquito; having so many people involved in a single criminal defense case is an overkill and completely unnecessary.

Upon hearing this...

The middle-aged female lawyer, Wang Yan, sneered:

"Heh heh, Attorney Yan has been in Yanzhou for so long, he probably doesn't know the current situation."

Yan Mi, the top lawyer, has stumbled.

A senior partner at Honglang Law Firm, ranked 80th, was actually detained in a remote area of ​​Yanzhou City!

As soon as the news came out, it became the talk of the town among the top lawyers in Haicheng.

Now that the other party has returned, the arch-enemy will inevitably use this opportunity to make sarcastic remarks.

just.

Yan Mi frowned; he wasn't one to mince words either, and immediately retorted coldly, "Has Attorney Wang found a spouse? In the six months I've been away from Haicheng, surely I haven't found one yet?"

"you!"

Anger flashed in Wang Yan's eyes.

Social elites, especially female elites, face greater difficulty in finding normal spouses.

Especially someone like Wang Yan.

Men with the same income tend to prefer younger partners and don't care whether their younger spouses have jobs to support the family.

But Wang Yan is not an option, as she was divorced years ago.

Later, she looked for someone of the same caliber, but he was afraid she would take advantage of him. She looked for someone of a lower status, but she felt that the other person was not good enough for her. She looked for a stay-at-home husband, but she didn't want to spend money on him. Plus, she has personality problems, so even now... she is still deeply involved in this matter.

A top lawyer at Dongguk Law Firm, ranked 68th on the list, is unable to find a spouse!

This matter is often secretly discussed and talked about within their small circle.

only......

Even with everyone present, including the boss, his shortcomings were still exposed...

"Ha, at least I didn't end up in the detention room!" Wang Yan sneered.

Just as the situation was escalating.

At the very front of the table, a man glanced over and said casually:

"It seems you two have some private matters to discuss."

"Mr. Wei, how about we give Attorney Yan and Attorney Wang some time to resolve their personal grievances before discussing business?"

Upon hearing this...

Yan Mi glanced at the other party with a hint of awe, and then remained silent.

Who is the other party?

Du Teng, a senior partner and top lawyer at Haicheng Golden Eagle Law Firm, is 48 years old and one of the firm's shareholders. More than a decade ago, the other party was a judge in Haicheng.

After leaving his government job, he joined Golden Eagle Law Firm and became a lawyer, bringing with him extremely high political resources!

If we, as ordinary people, travel to other places and see lawyers from those places as if we were seeing unintelligent primitives...

The other person, when looking at them, sees them as just an ordinary person in a lower position.

It wasn't contempt, but rather a gaze that felt like biological isolation, or perhaps the other party was simply on a higher level.

Seeing that the others remained silent.

Du Teng then looked at Wei Yuan and said:

"President Wei, now that everyone is here, let's get down to business."

The words were spoken.

The young man in the main seat exhaled, his expression darkening, his voice low and deep, and he spoke:

"After my father died, the company's shareholders couldn't sit still."

"To them, the resources that their father previously possessed are now 'ownerless,' so they..."

As he spoke, a shadow crossed his face, and he couldn't help but say:

"Like a hyena."

He then began to explain in detail.

The matter is easy to understand.

With Wei Tian dead, all the power, resources, and position he held were now vacant.

But just because it's vacant doesn't mean it will disappear; it will naturally be divided up by the others.

Wei Tian never expected to die so soon, and his son, Wei Yuan, was not yet capable of reliably inheriting his fortune, so...

Some people in the company couldn't sit still any longer and started to keep testing the waters.

so......

"To act as a bridge?"

Lawyer Wang Yan paused slightly, as if she understood what the other party meant.

Wei Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, you are all people who have worked with my father and whom he trusts."

"With my father dead, the contracts you previously signed with him are now void. You will have to sign new ones."

If the person responsible for the contract dies, the contract is void.

If they want to continue making money off this contract, then they have to help Wei Yuan reclaim this "ownerless property".

Of course, Wang Yan could also find other shareholders to work for.

But don't forget that these things are all one radish per hole.

They betrayed Wei Yuan and went to work for the others, regardless of whether the other party trusted them or not.

There isn't enough to go around just for the distribution.

After all, they can't possibly have no subordinates, right? If they do, then when you go there, what you eat is what they should be eating, and new conflicts will naturally arise between you.

Not to mention, for lawyers, the importance of their clients' integrity far outweighs their abilities!

A lawyer who betrays a long-time client... won't have a good ending.

After several months of operation.

Wei Yuan said slowly, "It seems that the situation has stabilized somewhat."

Regarding the subsequent breakdown, I...

"Wait, Mr. Wei, I have a question."

In a daze, the lawyer frowned deeply and interrupted the other party.

Wei Yuan paused slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing across his brow, but he still nodded in acknowledgment.

"ask."

Yan Mi asked, "What if your father... the chairman of Huimin Ankang Insurance Company, General Manager Wei Tian... loses the case?"

What if I lose the case?

Only by imposing severe penalties on such cases can we deter others and maintain a semblance of public order.

Therefore, Li Jie was sentenced to death.

But what if the other party doesn't die?

Killing someone and escaping the death penalty creates an extremely "profitable" situation!

What does "a good deal" mean? A good deal means you can buy it!

If that's the case, then the hundreds of victims who were swindled out of their fortunes by insurance companies and banks, and who are now struggling to afford food... will inevitably produce another Li Jie.

If there is a second Li Jie, then there will be a second Wei Tian.

Who wants to be Wei Tian?

You know, Wei Tian has been dead for several months now, would anyone really want to die?!

If you don't want to die, you have no choice but to return the money, but if you do return it...

"This money..."

He hesitated intently, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

If the initial cash flow of 100 million is to be returned... it will be difficult for Wei Yuan to stabilize the hard-won situation he has achieved.

Why?

Because this 100 million had already been diverted to other uses, spending it was easy, but if you want it back, you'll have to pay back the cost.

And this was done by Wei Tian, ​​so the blame should fall on Wei Tian. If Wei Tian dies and his son Wei Yuan wants to inherit the company, he will also have to take the blame. Once he takes the blame, he will basically have no chance to stay in the company.

and so.

Li Jie deserves to die!

Whether it's the blood feud with Wei Tian or the money, Wei Yuan wants Li Jie dead!

As for whether Li Jie should die?

In Wei Yuan's eyes, as long as there are enough interests involved, there is nothing that shouldn't die, and even if he has spent a lot of money, there is nothing that can't die!

And Li Jie?

He was just a cripple, and the total amount involved in the case was only 26 yuan. In his eyes, he was nothing, not even worth mentioning. He was just an ordinary person, and there was nothing he couldn't die for.

The words were spoken.

There was a slight pause in the office, followed by a snicker from Wang Yan:

"It seems that Attorney Yan has really left his brain in Yanzhou City as well."

"Didn't anyone tell you about the first trial? The case has been won, and the defendant is sentenced to death."

"This case was handled by Attorney Du. The first instance trial was very thorough, no problems."

Attorney Du.

Yan Mi paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Du Teng, who had a somewhat indifferent demeanor, beside her.

He added:

What about the second trial?

Wang Yan retorted directly, "Second instance? We lost the first instance, what's the point of a second instance!?"

"Li Jie doesn't even have a lawyer right now; he's just waiting for the Justice Bureau to arrange a legal aid lawyer for him."

"And the quality of legal aid lawyers..."

The quality of legal aid lawyers varies greatly, and for them to regard the other party as an adversary is to give them too much credit.

Not to mention vine.

How could we possibly lose?!

At least, Wang Yan herself, the plaintiff, had no idea where she could lose the case; she had absolutely no chance!

only......

Yan Mi paused slightly, recalling several figures she had seen at the airport. A sudden tightness gripped her, and she spoke:

"What if...someone wants to take it over?"

"Moreover, I feel that this lawyer is quite capable."

Is someone interested in taking on the defendant's defense?

And their strength is not weak!?

Everyone paused slightly. Du Teng, who hadn't said much until now, glanced at him, then took a sip of tea and said:

"Is this the one you met in Yanzhou City?"

Since the other party has gone this far, they most likely know some information.

An opponent that can inspire such fear in the other party...

That could only be the lawyer who stumbled in Yanzhou City.

Yan Mi paused for a moment, then nodded, without rejecting the idea.

Wang Yan immediately retorted sarcastically, "Attorney Yan, you're still hung up on that other party, aren't you? Don't you know how far apart Yanzhou City and Haicheng are?"

"Or do you think the other party can adapt to the rules of Haicheng?"

Let's talk about ability first.

An unknown lawyer, only quite famous in impoverished areas, worked as a judge in Haicheng for over a decade before joining a top-tier comprehensive law firm and becoming a senior partner.

The difference is immediately apparent.

Leaving aside the advantages brought by the favorable factors in the case.

With home advantage alone, how can an out-of-town team compete?

The paperwork alone could probably trip up the other party!

Another person raised an eyebrow, puzzled, "The other party is very bold? But even if they are bold, they wouldn't take a case with no chance of winning and that would ruin their career..."

Being bold and courting death are two different things.

"This..." Yan Mi hesitated.

Just now.

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

A vibration appeared in silent mode.

Lawyer Du Teng glanced at his constantly vibrating phone on the table, frowned slightly, picked it up subconsciously, and after a moment's thought, dialed a number.

"Feed?"

He started talking as if no one else was around.

He paused for a moment, as if he had heard some unexpected news.

Shortly after, he hung up the phone.

"It's a call from a friend at the court."

Du Teng frowned, glanced at the person beside him, and began to explain. After a brief silence, he continued:

"Li Jie's second trial case..."

"Some people have conducted self-inspections through the prosecutor's office and have already signed commission contracts."

Someone... answered?

Someone actually answered!?

In a daze.

Everyone was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked at Yan Mi.

"Is it the one Attorney Yan encountered?" someone couldn't help but ask.

Du Teng said, "His surname is Xu, so it should be him."

Now.

Even Yan Mi was speechless, frozen in place.

The person was mentioned one minute and then immediately accepted the case the next. This person is really bold. Could it be that they didn't even consider the risks of the case?

As for why, no sooner had he taken over than someone told Du Teng...

This is home advantage!

For top lawyers, it's not just about ability; they also consider background, connections, and resources!

"Is this Attorney Xu...very capable?"

Wei Yuan had been listening to the others talk, but now he frowned and asked a question.

Yan Mi hesitated for a moment, then said, "I can't quite put my finger on it. This person is strange, he exudes a sinister aura, and he might suddenly try something against you."

"He owns a law firm called something like 'Houde Law Firm'."

Is that strange?

Wei Yuan was somewhat dissatisfied, and anger gradually showed in his eyes.

His own father, Wei Tian, ​​died... shot dead by that Li Jie, and yet the other party still went out of his way to defend this murderer?

They even have the audacity to call themselves "Houde" (meaning "great virtue")!

And what about them?

They're honest business people, everything they do is legal and compliant. If you're not satisfied, sue them. Why kill someone?!

The result was that someone was killed, and yet someone still wanted to defend him...

"Attorney Du?"

Wei Yuan glanced at Du Teng beside him.

Du Teng remained calm and composed, taking a sip of his tea.

The case is already settled. He won the first trial and was sentenced to death. The second trial is just around the corner. If it were those people from Yanjing, he might still be wary, thinking that it was some new instruction from the Yanjing authorities.

Even the lawyers of the same rank in Haicheng would be a little afraid, since those people have powerful connections.

But a junior lawyer from out of town...

"It's alright."

Two words were uttered.

The group then discussed company matters again, without giving each other much advice.

Meanwhile.

......

......

at the same time.

Haicheng, Provincial Higher People's Court.

Litigation Service Center.

"Attorney Xu, is this all the information for the cases you are handling?"

"It includes everything here, including the murder weapon, multiple video recordings from the scene, and testimonies."

Inside the marking room.

A female staff member led Xu Delin and others to place some information in the examination room and then left.

The document review room is a small room located opposite the litigation service center.

The interior was rather basic; the most useful item was a computer.

"Tsk, this big city is really different. We even have a grading room to use, and we don't even have to queue."

Wang Chao looked around with amazement and exclaimed in wonder.

Upon hearing this, Qian Hao sneered, "Ha, you bumpkin."

"There's definitely no need to queue...and the other party doesn't need to queue to retrieve our information!"

Wang Chao was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"What else could it mean? Just the literal meaning." Qian Hao curled his lip, crossed his arms, and said disdainfully, "I reckon some people already know we've taken on the case."

"That can't be right, we just submitted the materials."

Wang Chao asked in surprise.

Xu De waved his hand, interrupting the two, and casually said, "It's nothing, just home advantage."

Immediately.

He then focused his attention on the computer.

"No one would dare to resort to underhanded tactics openly in this kind of case. At most, they'll just make things easier for themselves, so don't worry."

"Let's review the surveillance footage first and clarify the specifics of the incident before making any further decisions."

Upon hearing this...

The other three nodded and immediately began to divide the work.

Wang Chao went to look at the case file, while Lin Yue looked at the first trial record.

Qian Hao and Xu De watched the surveillance footage of the incident.

"Clang!"

Xu De turned on his computer and selected the video that the court had prepared in advance.

Although it was only 2003, the police's surveillance system had not yet been deployed, and there was not much surveillance in various places.

But this is Haicheng, and the crime scene is in the city center, so there will naturally be surveillance cameras.

"Buzz~"

At this moment, with a slight tap of Xu De's index finger, the blurry video began to flow.

The video has been edited.

At the beginning, Li Jie, dressed in plain clothes, was standing on the roadside with a limp, arguing with a bloated middle-aged man, with quite a few onlookers around.

Xu De narrowed his eyes.

This middle-aged man is Wei Tian, ​​the chairman of the insurance company and the mastermind behind the three cases.

The video continues, but you can't hear much sound, though you can see Li Jie saying something.

Not long after.

It seemed that Wei Tian was getting annoyed, and he instructed the driver to have the other party push and shove Li Jie.

The driver fought with him, but in the blink of an eye, Li Jie, who was missing a leg, was defeated and the fight lasted for a long time.

During the struggle, the "prosthetic limb"... or rather, the weapon, fell off the leg!

Upon seeing this thing, Wei Tian was initially puzzled as to what it was.

Without him.

This thing really doesn't look like a gun.

Li Jie seemed to have said something again, pointing it at the other person. Wei Tian was startled, then seemed to realize something and showed an expression of being amused and angry, and directly stepped forward to provoke him.

He pressed his head against the weapon, pointed at his own head in a defiant manner, and when no bullets were fired, he took the gun away.

He then slammed the gun on the ground twice, spat, and threw it to Li Jie, cursing under his breath.

Li Jie quickly picked it up, and as he listened to the scolding, his expression became increasingly ferocious, and his eyes became bloodshot.

However, this gun doesn't even have a trigger, so it naturally can't fire bullets.

but......

Suddenly, as if he hated himself for disassembling the trigger and being unable to fire, Li Jie slammed his right hand against the "prosthetic limb." After several slams, nothing happened, and Wei Tian became even more provocative.

until......

Li Jie kept hitting the weapon, even though the barrel wasn't aimed at the other person's head.

Suddenly!

I don't know why.

Wei Tian's body stiffened slightly, then he fell straight down. His right eye was hit by a bullet, and his brain was pierced. He died on the spot.

"Bang!"

There was no firelight, no sound, but Qian Hao still subconsciously imagined the sound in his mind.

And then Wei Tian died.

The video ends here.

After reading the rest of the information, Lin Yue, who was beside her, spoke up:

"What was fired was a steel ball, that is, a bullet from the gun."

"This gun was handcrafted by Li Jie, and the bullets are steel balls. It's impossible to avoid situations like jamming. So, when it was converted into a prosthetic, it wasn't thoroughly checked, so there's a high probability that there's a steel ball stuck in the gun."

"The exact same steel ball was found in Li Jie's house. It can be confirmed that it is Li Jie's previous gun ammunition."

"In general."

"The fact that Wei Tian was shot and killed in the street... cannot be changed."

Throughout history, committing murder in the street has always been the most serious offense.

Even now, it's not an exaggeration!

The information we've gathered so far probably doesn't offer any useful leads.

only......

Looking at the screen, Xu De narrowed his eyes and dragged the video progress, repeatedly watching the moment Wei Tian died.

Lin Yue and Qian Hao were exchanging information at this moment.

After a while.

Lin Yue snapped out of her daze and looked at Xu De, only to see him still staring. She frowned and asked, puzzled, "..."

"What are you looking at? Did you discover something?"

A sound rang out.

Xu De snapped out of his reverie, looked at Lin Yue, and after a moment's thought, instead of replying directly, he asked a question in return:

"Attorney Lin, this gun... the firing mechanism, the trigger has been pulled, the stock has been modified into a leg rest... theoretically, the core components of the gun have been dismantled."

"So."

Xu De pointed to the video.

"How was this projectile launched?"

With the firing mechanism gone, theoretically, this is just a fire poker and shouldn't be capable of killing.

"And...is there no gunpowder involved? The video didn't record any flashes from the gunpowder, there wasn't even a muzzle flash!"

"this......"

Lin Yue hesitated slightly, then pointed to a close-up photo of the weapon, saying, "I'll show you the gun."

"The bullet was not fired by a firing device."

"According to the test, Li Jie modified the gun into a prosthetic limb. In order to make the prosthetic limb simulate joint movement, he made a set of springs and energy storage impact rods inside the gun, which are normally locked by gears."

"At the scene, Li Jie and Wei Tian's actions should have caused the gears to loosen."

"At that instant, the positioning system malfunctioned, and the powerful spring was released, propelling the projectile forward."

Lin Yue demonstrated with her hand, then continued:

"The bullet then passed through the eye socket and struck the brain, killing the man instantly!"

In other words.

"It has no firing mechanism, no gunpowder?"

Xu De began to speak, then paused, glanced around, and suddenly blurted out a surprising statement.

"Then, is there any possibility...?"

"The thing in Li Jie's hand, it's not a gun? It's a... prosthetic limb."

Prosthetic limb?

Lin Yue was taken aback.

Before she could speak, Xu De continued:

"Look."

"First of all, there is no firing mechanism. Secondly, there is no gunpowder. Furthermore, the core components of the firearm have been removed. Only the barrel in the shape resembles a firearm. It doesn't even have rifling inside."

"If that's the case..."

"How can you be so sure that this is a gun?"

"If this wasn't a gun, then the case wasn't a shooting. If it wasn't a shooting, then Li Jie didn't have the subjective intent to kill, and he wouldn't be guilty of intentional homicide."

"Secondly, if this isn't a gun, then based on Li Jie's usage, it's a prosthetic limb."

"After Wei Tian threw the prosthetic leg, the internal parts were damaged, which caused another part called 'bullet' to be fired, resulting in Wei Tian's immediate death."

"What's this?"

Xu De's mind raced for a moment, and his words left the three people on the scene stunned, their minds blank.

"This constitutes malicious damage to the prosthesis, leading to an accidental death!"

"Unforeseen accidental deaths of this kind are not subject to criminal liability under criminal law."

Yes.

Accidental deaths are generally divided into two categories: foreseeable accidental deaths and unforeseeable accidental deaths.

The former needs to take responsibility.

For example, you and your friend are playing around on the second floor, and you push each other, thinking that the other person will fall on the grass downstairs and get hurt.

But if the other person actually falls to their death, then you are responsible because falling is an act that carries a foreseeable risk of death.

The other type is unpredictable.

like.

You and your friend are playfully fighting on the roadside. You push your friend to a safe spot, but just then, a flowerpot falls from the sky and hits the spot where you pushed your friend.

The friend then died.

This type of situation is unpredictable and requires no responsibility.

And in this case...

"If, in fact, the murder weapon can be identified as a prosthetic limb, rather than a murder weapon..."

"So."

"If a person dies due to an accident caused by a prosthetic limb, this is an unforeseen accident for which no liability will be incurred!"

Xu De spoke again, his mind racing, his brain cells working frantically.

Although the three people in front of him were stunned, he still didn't stop talking.

"Even to say..."

"The deceased, Wei Tian, ​​intentionally damaged our client's prosthetic limb, causing it to break..."

"He should compensate Li Jie with a prosthetic leg!!!"

Wang Chao: ?

Qian Hao: ?

Lin Yue was stunned, and a hint of shock gradually appeared in her eyes.

The definition of firearms? It's clearly stated in the Gun Control Law!

but......

What do you mean this isn't a gun, but a prosthetic limb? It has a barrel! Is there something wrong with gun control laws? Or is there some kind of bug?

That can't be right, what kind of bug could the gun barrel method have...?

A hint of surprise gradually appeared on Lin Yue's face as she said:

"No...you...what nonsense are you talking about?"

"What do you mean, a gun with a barrel and a spring that can fire bullets... isn't a gun? It's a prosthetic limb!?"

......

ps: Please vote for me!

I actually started writing quite early today, but I spent a lot of time researching and looking for bugs in the gun barrel method, so it's a bit late.
