Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Just as Li Li was about to speak, Li Sheng suddenly pulled her aside.

But Li Li glared at him instead, then broke free from his grasp, ran to Xu De's side, and said with a slightly fawning expression:

"Yes, yes, that's what my mother said before she died last year."

"At the time, we also found someone in the village who could read and write to teach them how to write their own names. After they wrote their names, they pressed their fingerprints on the paper."

"Those two bastards, they've owed me for ten years and still haven't paid back!"

Li Li continued her incessant cursing, then stopped abruptly and looked at Xu De, cautiously asking:

"You're saying that refusing to pay back debts is illegal...do the police do anything about it?"

Unpaid debts are a minor matter and have no effect on Xu De.

However, if Li Youcai and Liu Cui personally wrote the IOU for where the money was spent and added their fingerprints... then it would have a huge impact!

It's 11 p.m.

Xu De stood at the village entrance swallowed by darkness. His throat suddenly tightened, and then his eyes gleamed.

We caught a big fish...

He knew that Li Li, being from the same village, could definitely provide some evidence if she wanted to...

But he really didn't expect to be able to pull out this thing!

The other party actually has an IOU, signed and sealed by Li Youcai and Liu Cui, with a detailed description of where the money went!

Is this thing even useful?

On its own, it seems to be of little use, or even very little. Why?

Because this is considered isolated evidence, if Li Youcai and Liu Cui make excuses such as not buying it or bring up other reasons, the prosecutor and judge will not accept it at all.

Just like Wang Mei, even though the other party accused Li Youcai and Liu Cui, they still couldn't do anything about it because she was also a "lone witness".

But then a problem arises...

Taken individually, they are indeed isolated cases, but when put together... the implications become much more complex!

Are you sure?

Xu De stared intently at the other person with sharp eyes, but his tone was gentle, not showing any particularly strong emotions.

"Is this the IOU from ten years ago, before Wang Mei was sold? Are you sure both of them put their fingerprints on it?"

"And, is the destination of the loan also specified?"

Li Li didn't seem to be bothered by the idea of ​​borrowing money to buy a wife.

She was more concerned about the "illegality" of not repaying debts, and at this point she nodded and said:

"Yes, we bought the person back just three days after borrowing the money."

"The other day, Li Youcai told us that if the police came and asked them if they were involved in buying wives, we should say no..."

It really is!

Xu De's heart immediately warmed up, and several ideas instantly sprang to mind.

If Wang Mei's account and identification as the victim are isolated evidence without corroborating evidence...

After the IOU appeared...

A single piece of evidence will immediately become an unbreakable chain of evidence!

The chain of evidence.

This is an irrefutable chain of evidence!

Some people may not have a good idea of ​​this, so let me put it this way.

Many people believe that as long as they do not confess to a crime and stubbornly deny their guilt in court, the judge will be unable to make a judgment.

This idea is actually completely wrong.

If the chain of evidence is strong enough, even if you plead not guilty, the presiding judge can still force a conviction and sentence you!

This is the credibility and value of the chain of evidence in court!

"The reason why Li Youcai and Liu Cui were able to escape punishment, even dare to fight for custody, and demand an exorbitant sum of 23 yuan in the civil suit attached to the criminal case..."

"It's because the police couldn't obtain a chain of evidence!"

Xu De's eyes flickered with conflicting emotions as countless ideas surfaced in his mind.

"Now that we have the chain of evidence, that so-called 23 is a joke!"

In civil litigation, you have to be a complete victim to get substantial compensation, and these two people are not victims.

Instead, he was an accomplice of Li Erniu, the perpetrator in the "human trafficking case"!

This situation...

Let alone self-defense.

Even if Wang Qiang is convicted of excessive self-defense, Xu De would be willing to pay more than 1 yuan in compensation if he could get it. He would even be willing to accept that all his years of legal studies were for nothing!

Of course, money isn't the point; the point is...

"It can be verified that Li Youcai and Liu Cui were involved in the human trafficking, which led to Li Erniu's death!"

"If Li Li and others are willing to come forward, they could even accuse the other party of 'abuse,' 'aiding and abetting the rape of a minor,' 'intentional injury,' 'imprisonment,' etc."

Xu De's mind worked quickly; he did a quick calculation.

The next moment, a string of numbers came to mind.

"At least 15 years in prison!"

"No...the other party's attitude was extremely bad, they even assaulted police officers, gave false testimony, and repeatedly obstructed rescue efforts..."

"Twenty years!"

"A minimum sentence of twenty years, or even life imprisonment, depends entirely on the judge's personal decision!"

If charged with multiple offenses, the sentence for these specific crimes would be at least twenty years, and most likely twenty-five years.

Although it may not be indefinite.

But... Li Youcai and Liu Cui are already over sixty years old!

Let alone life imprisonment, even if you are sentenced to ten or twenty years, you will basically have to stay in prison until you die, which is no different from the death penalty!

This moment.

Xu De's "conservative" courtroom style is now quietly changing, becoming... radical!

Counterattack.....

Counterattack, and more counterattack!

Xu De wants to satisfy customers... no, he must maximize customer satisfaction!

Exonerating Wang Qiang? Is it enough to spare him from imprisonment?

That's how it should be, that's how it should be.

He should make Li Youcai and Liu Cui suffer the consequences of their own actions and spend the rest of their lives in jail!

"Anything else?"

Xu De stared intently at Li Li, his eyes burning with desire, and pressed her for more information.

"I mean, is there anyone else who knows about this? If we could have a couple more people... that would be enough!"

A single charge is still not safe.

If two or three independent neighbors jointly identify Li Youcai and Liu Cui, then Li Youcai and Liu Cui will not be able to escape his clutches!

Li Li wanted to shake her head.

After all, if other people are involved, will I still be eating alone?

But then she thought, if there's no one around... she won't even be able to eat. Besides, bringing two more people would provide extra security, so that if Li Youcai goes in, someone else won't be able to take it from her.

"Old Zhang's family, and Li Erniu's second uncle's family."

Li Li thought for a moment and named a few people she knew.

"Old Zhang had seen the loan before. Li Erniu's second uncle was also taken in back then, but the IOU didn't mention buying a wife, and the money was never returned."

Xu De immediately said, "That's enough."

He pondered for a moment, then said:

"Okay, here's what we'll do: don't give me any IOUs except to me, for the time being."

"Now record a statement from me regarding Wang Qiang's murder."

"Be sure to be objective, accurate, and truthful. Don't be afraid if the police come; just tell the truth!"

We can't discuss the IOU for now.

The primary task is to exempt Wang Qiang from criminal punishment, which will require the cooperation of Li Youcai and Liu Cui to sign a "letter of understanding" and a "criminal reconciliation agreement".

The IOU issue will push the other party to the brink, depriving him of these two powerful weapons.

so......

After Li Youcai signed the agreement and Wang Qiang was granted leniency, he immediately used the IOU to create a chain of evidence and brought both men to trial on the spot!

Xu De made up his mind.

He looked at Li Li in front of him, and then took out the four hundred yuan he had left from his pocket and handed it to her.

"After you finish recording your testimony, give me the IOU first."

"Three hundred yuan of it will be considered as Li Yang's recent child support."

"You can use the extra hundred as phone credit to have someone call this number to contact me."

Xu De took out a pen and paper he always carried with him and wrote down a series of numbers.

Then, witness testimonies were recorded with Li Li and Li Sheng.

After the other party returned home to retrieve the IOU, Xu De confirmed its validity.

He then secretly bid farewell to the two of them.

Looking at his back.

"Three thousand four hundred dollars? You can't earn that much in two years with this kind of land!"

"Not to mention... Old Li's house, and those fertile plots of land!!!"

Li Li and Li Sheng stood at the village entrance, their thoughts honestly reflecting on the situation.

The two waved goodbye with warm expressions on their faces, their eyes looking as if they were family!

And Xu De.

After walking a distance, they came to Wang Chao, who was staying some distance away, and then walked with him to the place where the bread truck was parked.

On the bus, Lin Yue, who had brought her child home early, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two of them return unharmed.

He then looked at Xu De with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Where have you been?"

"Nothing much, I just got some things."

A smile appeared on Xu De's face. He turned around and squinted at the dark and desolate Li Family Village.

this time......

What a fruitful harvest!

"Return the way you came!"

"Submit Li Li's recanted testimony after the court opens for business."

"Give the prosecutors a bit more work, so they can get a few less good nights' sleep!"
