Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Major criminal case?

Xu De frowned and glanced at Sun Hao in front of him.

The other party wouldn't be so kind as to arrange a lucrative case, so... Xu De suddenly frowned and said:

"Criminal legal aid!?"

Sun Hao smiled broadly, reached out and grabbed Xu De's shoulder, patting him hard.

"That's right!"

As for what legal aid is?

for example.

Imagine you are a poor person who has been hit by a car and needs to file a lawsuit, but you don't have the money to hire a lawyer.

At this point, to prevent you from being without a lawyer, the authorities will find a senior lawyer for you free of charge, and in return, the lawyer will only receive a meager commission of a few hundred dollars.

Lawyers have virtually no right to refuse!

Of course, Xu De doesn't dislike taking on legal aid, after all, it's a lawyer's duty.

Normally, he would have disliked Sun Hao's "forced sale" tactics.

But right now...

His eyes flashed.

I haven't forgotten that in the system, valuable skills only appear in criminal cases!

Immediately, Xu De raised his head, looked at the other person, and said:

"When will the client arrive? And what is the case?"

This is......

Accepted!?

Sun Hao was overjoyed.

Looking at Xu De, who was "overestimating himself" in front of him, a slight smile crept onto his lips, and he immediately said with a chuckle:

"Someone will tell you the details of the case; the other party knows more details than the lawyer does."

"As for the time..."

Just as Sun Hao was speaking.

Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind me.

"Knock knock knock~!"

Where is Attorney Xu?

The voice was quite loud, attracting the attention of the people working in the lobby.

Everyone turned to look and saw a minibus parked in front of the law firm.

Meanwhile, a burly middle-aged criminal police officer was standing at the door, holding one hand in a pushing motion.

"It's almost time, we should go."

As the policeman spoke, his sharp eyes swept around.

The cigarette dangling from his mouth was slowly burning.

See here.

Sun Hao quickly shouted out.

"Officer Li, please wait a moment."

After speaking...

He turned back to look at Xu De, urging him with schadenfreude:

"The person is here. Once the contract is signed, you and Officer Li can leave!"

As he spoke, he pulled a document from his briefcase and handed it to Xu Deqiang.

Xu De gave him a deep look, then signed his name on the document.

Upon seeing this, Sun Hao could no longer suppress his smile.

"Haha, I won't bother you any longer, Attorney Xu. I wish you a speedy rise to become a top lawyer at the firm!"

Xu De was too lazy to listen to his insincere words.

After signing the document, he turned and walked briskly toward the door.

Sun Hao is a relative with connections, and his academic qualifications are only an ordinary undergraduate degree, while he graduated from a top university in the country. There is no comparison between the two in terms of talent or appearance.

Ultimately, it's just jealousy.

Xu De was too lazy to deal with such scoundrels; he'd rather take the opportunity to crack a few big cases and increase his reputation!

With that thought in mind, he composed himself.

"The case is more important!"

Xu De stopped in his tracks, having already reached the doorway.

He stopped beside Officer Li and looked up at him.

Officer Li was smoking a cigarette when he saw someone walking towards him, so he instinctively stepped aside to make way for them.

But then he noticed that the other person had been standing right beside him, and he immediately stopped.

Officer Li's eyes immediately showed a hint of surprise as he looked at the young man in front of him and said in a strange tone:

"Are you Xu De, Attorney Xu?"

Xu De nodded. "It's me."

"So young?"

Officer Li's eyes looked a little strange.

However, he didn't say much.

After all, this was just free legal aid.

Why would you need a bicycle if you don't even have to spend money? It's already a blessing to have a professional lawyer come!

"Get in the car."

Officer Li smacked his lips, stepped aside, revealing the minibus parked in front of the law firm.

"Time is tight and the task is heavy, let's talk on the way."

After speaking, Officer Li stepped into the car.

Xu De followed closely behind, and after getting into the car, his gaze unconsciously swept across the interior.

The minibuses of 2002 were somewhat rudimentary, but overall they were not much different from those of later generations.

On the minibus, besides Officer Li, there were six other police officers. The six of them seemed distracted, glancing at him only once before ignoring him.

In addition, there was a middle-aged couple.

The two men were about 1.65 meters tall, not very tall, with hunched backs, dressed in thin and old clothes, and were very thin, around fifty years old.

He wasn't particularly good-looking, quite ordinary, and looked honest and simple, like a farmer in the fields... but much thinner.

at this time.

I saw Xu De, dressed in a suit and tie, get into the car.

The two men tugged at the corners of their mouths, their wrinkles rubbing together like the bark of an old tree. Their eyes darted around, glancing at each other every now and then. When they looked again, they met Xu De's gaze.

Then, he subconsciously looked down and, seeing Xu De's shiny leather shoes, felt something was amiss.

She then looked up, revealing a fawning, cautious smile, her hands nervously rubbing together.

"Old Zhang is driving; it's going to be a tough fight later. Let's finish this quickly so we can get off work early."

Officer Li sat in his chair and gave a shout.

The words fell.

The car engine started humming, and soon the minibus slowly drove onto the highway.

Officer Li took a drag of his cigarette, turned to look at Xu De, then glanced at the middle-aged couple, pursed his lips, and said:

"These two are your clients."

"Attorney Xu, ask me anything you want to ask now, or you won't have time later."

"it is good."

Xu De nodded and walked towards the two middle-aged men, extending his hand.

"What's your name?"

Upon hearing this...

Wang Qiang was somewhat flattered. He quickly stood up, bent down, wiped his hands with his clothes, and then shook the hand that Xu De offered.

"My name is Wang Qiang... Her name is Sun Hong, she's mute, she can't speak..."

His voice was somewhat hoarse, as if he had phlegm stuck in his throat.

The middle-aged woman gave an embarrassed, awkward smile.

"Hello Mr. Wang, this is Xu De. I am fully responsible for your case."

Xu De shook hands with him.

The other person's palm was very rough, like a piece of sandpaper or a piece of tree bark.

The two released their grip, and Xu De looked at Officer Li beside him.

"Officer Li, could you tell me the details of the case?"

"You still don't know the details of the case!?"

Officer Li was somewhat stunned, then clicked his tongue in amazement.

Upon hearing this...

Wang Qiang and Sun Hong instinctively clenched their hands tightly.

"It's not too late to know now," Xu De replied, without showing any sign of nervousness.

"Tsk...that's true."

Officer Li smacked his lips, took another drag of his cigarette, and switched the positions of his crossed legs.

My name is Li Xiang.

"This case... is a human trafficking case."

Human trafficking case?

Xu Demei said, "How many years ago was this case? It must be difficult to solve."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiang raised an eyebrow at Xu De, clearly not expecting the other party to know that human trafficking cases were difficult to solve.

He then casually remarked:

"This is a case from ten years ago in Yangzhou. At that time, Wang Qiang and Sun Hong's fourteen-year-old daughter was abducted and disappeared without a trace."

"Not long ago, the Midori City Police Department unexpectedly arrested a human trafficker."

"After interrogation, it was discovered that the other party was the mastermind behind the case and still had the list of victims. As soon as it was released, the families came looking for him."

A human trafficking case from ten years ago!?

That was the case from 1992, and Yangcheng... is a city in the southern part of the Eastern Kingdom, located near Green Forest City...

"Searched for ten years!?"

"And, there's a distance of 1,200 kilometers in between? How did they get here?"

Xu De was somewhat surprised. He sat in his chair and glanced at Wang Qiang and the other man behind him.

The two were a little awkward, and their feet, clad in worn-out cloth shoes, hid under the chairs.

"Hehe, hard to believe, isn't it?"

Li Xiang smiled, then his expression turned serious, and he said:

The abducted girl's name is Wang Mei.

"She was sold to Lijia Village, a remote mountain village in Lvsen City, to be his wife. She is now 24 years old and has a 6-year-old child."

Upon hearing this...

Xu De paused, then frowned.

Judging from what the other party is saying, this is...

"They haven't recognized each other yet? The person is still in the buyer's hands!?"

Generally speaking, people don't hire lawyers for cases where the individuals haven't yet recognized each other.

Why would the other person contact me?

"No, the police went twice, and although they met him, they didn't bring him back."

"However, according to her wishes, she has already hired an agency to find a lawyer to prepare for the custody battle."

Li Xiang sighed and shook his head.

He then took a deep drag, drawing the last puff of smoke close to his lips, his eyes narrowing, and said in a deep voice:

"And this time... I brought some 'equipment' to see if I could smuggle it out."

After speaking...

Li Xiang paused, then continued:

"As for you..."

"My main responsibility is to prosecute the buyer for involvement in human trafficking, and I will act as the victim's legal representative in the subsequent litigation."

"If anything happens during the rescue... keep it in mind, you might need it later."

"If any conflicts arise during this period, we will cooperate in mediating them."

During the rescue phase, a lawyer is not essential on-site; however, from the perspective of the entire rights protection process, the earlier a lawyer intervenes, the better the legal rights of the family and the girl can be protected.

Moreover...

The place they were going to was truly a remote and impoverished area, and there was no lawyer present, which could potentially put Wang Qiang and his group in a disadvantageous position later on.

"Okay, I understand."

Xu De nodded.

He turned around and started talking to the flustered Wang Qiang.

The scenery outside the car kept passing by.

At first, the road was made of asphalt and then turned into a cement road. Dust gradually rose up all around, and the tall buildings turned into low-rise buildings.

Soon the cement road turned into a dirt road, and the buildings became mud-walled and tiled houses.

final......

The dirt road turned into a rugged mountain road, and the minibus kept bumping and jolting, almost shaking one's internal organs out of the vehicle. The view outside the window was desolate and seemed to stretch on forever!

......

11:30 a.m.

"Buzzing~!"

Suddenly, the minibus swayed violently, startling the exhausted passengers awake.

Followed by.

Everyone looked up at once, instinctively glancing outside.

Outside the car window was a barren mountain, a barren mountain where not a blade of grass grew.

On this mountain... you can vaguely see a few black dots sitting on the mountainside, like stains in a painting.

And these black spots are...

A village.

Xu De narrowed his eyes, his gaze hardening.

Just then, the voice of Officer Zhang, who was driving, rang in my ears.

"We've arrived at Lijia Village!"
