Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

It was 6 PM.

Inside the senior year office at No. 18 Middle School.

The entire office was empty except for Lü Guangjun, who sat there restlessly.

After a long while, he got up and opened the door.

Two figures stepped inside.

"Hello, Teacher Lü, it's great to finally meet you."

Xu De looked at Lü Guangjun in front of him with a gentle smile and began to speak.

He placed a shoulder bag on the teacher's desk on the left. The shoulder bag had a slit about the length of a finger, and looking through the slit, the inside shimmered with the luster of lenses.

"Hello...

Lu Guangjun forced himself to speak and said, "Please sit down."

Xu De nodded and sat down in front of the other person.

Wang Chao also walked in. He stood next to the backpack and held a voice recorder in his hand.

"Mr. Lü, please don't be nervous."

"Our video and audio recording equipment is here."

Xu De pointed to Wang Chao and his backpack, and said:

"Disclaimer in advance."

"From this moment forward, within one hour in this office, any form of filming or conversation is valid."

"Furthermore, if one party leaves midway, such as to go to the restroom, the private communication between the other party and persons related to the case via telephone when they are alone is also valid."

"We haven't said it's over yet, so the whole process isn't over."

"Ms. Lü, if you agree, please sign the contract."

As soon as he opened his mouth.

It's something that makes your head spin.

Lu Guangjun looked at the contract handed to him, took a deep breath, and said:

"Do we need to sign a contract to collect evidence?"

Xu De smiled and said, "This is to ensure credibility. If you have any concerns, you can refuse."

next second.

"What could I possibly have to worry about!"

Lü Guangjun seemed to have been stepped on something.

Then, he snatched the pen from the other person and readily signed his name on it.

"Go ahead and ask!" Lü Guangjun said nonchalantly.

"Okay, the main reason we're here is related to the conflict between Yang Jiale and the defendant."

Xu De nodded, and then what he said made Lü Guangjun's pupils suddenly shrink.

"The conflict that erupted between the two parties on the day of the death was somewhat suspicious. We suspect that a third party may have caused the defendant to lose control of his emotions, directly leading to the incident."

"Professor Lü, do you have any thoughts on this matter?"

Suddenly.

Lu Guangjun felt a chill run down his spine, his heart tightened, and his breathing became somewhat anxious.

"No... I don't know much about it."

He forced himself to speak, then stammered as he added:

"They often have disagreements, maybe it's unintentional..."

As he spoke, his palms became sweaty and he unconsciously clenched them tightly.

"That's such a pity. In this situation, if this person exists, they could be classified as an accomplice."

"If the perpetrator is an adult and commits a serious offense, the minimum criminal liability period is ten years."

Xu De sighed regretfully.

Cold sweat beaded on Lü Guangjun's forehead. "That...that's such a pity."

Xu De then changed the subject and asked a question.

"Before the incident, the victim had suffered multiple injuries. Did you see her tell any other teachers about this?"

"If there is..."

"We can absolutely hold them accountable."

Lü Guangjun was drenched in sweat, swallowed hard, and said awkwardly:

"I...I don't know much about it."

Xu De then said:

"That......."

He asked a series of questions related to the case.

Unfortunately, Lü Guangjun either didn't know or gave vague answers.

Just as Xu De, seemingly unbothered, continued to ask...

"Beep beep beep~"

In a daze, the phone rang. He answered it, then stood up and apologized to Lü Guangjun:

"Excuse me, Mr. Lü, this is an urgent matter."

After saying that, Xu De got up and was about to walk outside with Wang Chao.

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Lu Guangjun stood up and spoke repeatedly, only breathing a sigh of relief after they had all left and disappeared.

"Snapped!"

He slumped in the chair, his mind still replaying the words the other person had just said.

Accomplice to murder...

How could he be an accomplice?!

Lu Guangjun was extremely agitated, pacing back and forth.

a long time.

He checked the office security camera footage, then looked at the hallway outside to make sure no one was there.

Finally... he gritted his teeth, turned his back to the surveillance camera, and dialed Liu Jingqi's parents' number.

Liu's mother's voice came through the phone.

"Feed?"

Lu Guangjun said urgently, "The deceased's family has hired a lawyer. It seems they intend to pursue criminal charges. Does that mean you won't be able to get a letter of understanding?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a sharp voice.

"Criminal prosecution!?"

"Lu Guangjun, it's all your fault! Why did you have to tell Xiaoqi that she can't bully her classmates when you had nothing better to do?"

"If you hadn't told her, Xiaoqi wouldn't have killed anyone. If Xiaoqi hadn't killed anyone, she wouldn't have been convicted..."

"It's all because of you! Let me tell you, if anything happens to my child, you won't escape responsibility either!"

"We sent you so many things, and this is how you treat me..."

Lu Guangjun had been somewhat guilty, but now he suddenly spoke angrily:

"Can't you be reasonable?!"

"It was Liu Jingqi who forced people to stand on the rooftop, and it was she who deliberately shook Yang Jiale's legs to scare her, causing her to fall to her death!"

The loudspeaker announced, "I don't care, if anything happens to Xiaoqi, you won't escape either!"

"If you don't give a consistent story, then..."

Lu Guangjun's chest heaved, and after a long while, he angrily hung up the phone.

He sat in the chair looking somewhat exhausted.

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have gone through all that trouble in the first place.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been an accomplice in murder...

The thought of what the lawyer had said filled Lü Guangjun with dread.

After a while.

There was a sudden knock on the office door.

"Knock knock knock~!"

The voice struck him like a chord, and Lü Guangjun abruptly opened his eyes. "Who!?"

"Teacher Lü, it's me."

Xu De pushed open the door, walked inside on his own, turned around, picked up the signed contract on the table, and then covered his backpack.

"I forgot my contract and bag. I'm sorry for taking up your time again."

After saying that, he walked towards the door.

"Mr. Lü, I have urgent work to do. In that case, let's record this conversation..."

"That's the end of it."

"If you believe both the video and audio recordings are credible and have no objections..."

Looking at Lü Guangjun, Xu De smiled gently and said:

"Then we'll be going."

Lu Guangjun felt something was off, but at that moment he just wanted the other party to leave quickly, so he said:

"No objection, I'm telling the truth."

"That's good... I remember Mr. Lü, you were going to appear in court as a witness..."

"If that's the case, then..."

Xu De nodded, a smile appearing on his face.

See you in court.

Lu Guangjun breathed a sigh of relief and replied:

See you in court.

......

......

It was 7:20 PM.

Inside a car at the entrance of No. 18 Middle School.

"See you in court..."

Xu De turned on the camera; the echo of the speaker reverberated in his ears. The entire car was silent. The next second...

Holy crap!

Wang Chao, who was leaning out from the back seat, looked shocked.

What did he see?

Suicide truck!

That's right, Lü Guangjun transformed into a self-destructing truck, explaining the cause of the case in great detail!

"It really is him... Damn it, no wonder Liu Jingqi caused trouble for Yang Jiale that day!"

Wang Chao murmured.

The contents of this video... putting everything else aside, just the phrase "deliberately shaking her leg" is enough to prove that Liu Jingqi committed intentional homicide!

only......

Wang Chao pondered for a moment, then looked at Xu De.

"Isn't what we're doing... considered illegal evidence collection?"

He worried that he would have the evidence but be unable to use it, since from all perspectives, it was a violation of regulations...

"Heh, don't worry."

"Why do you think I talked so much to Lü Guangjun in the first place?"

Xu De, however, didn't care at all.

He was very knowledgeable about surreptitious filming and illegal evidence collection, so...

The straightforward and logically sound statement, along with the contract... were all designed to circumvent the accusation of 'illegal evidence gathering'!

Of course, there are risks involved, but then again... there is no evidence that there are no risks.

in this way......

Wang Chao's eye twitched, and he blurted out instinctively:

"Legalizing illegal evidence collection!?"

He recalled briefly and realized that the other party's brief statement... had managed to circumvent 90% of the conditions for obtaining evidence illegally!

"What's illegal? It's all legal, so it must be legal and compliant!"

Xu De shook his head.

Wang Chao exclaimed in admiration, "Brother, you're even more particular than me."

Then, he excitedly asked, "Shall we submit the evidence to the prosecutor's office and the court?"

Although the case is about to go to trial, it is still in the evidence submission period, and there is still time to submit the evidence.

but......

"Why do we need to provide evidence?" Xu De asked, puzzled.

Wang Chao said, "How can we use it without providing evidence? We can't just have your evidence suddenly appear..."

Wang Chao suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence.

"You want to launch a surprise attack with evidence?!" Wang Chao nearly jumped up.

"Is there any law that explicitly states that lawyers cannot conduct surprise attacks on evidence?" Xu De asked rhetorically.

Wang Chao paused for a moment, and his brilliant mind, honed by a 985 university graduate, gave him the answer. He turned his gaze to Lin Yue.

Lin Yue sighed and spoke on his behalf:

"It's not prohibited by law."

That's right, the law doesn't prohibit surprise evidence presentations; it just lowers the judge's approval rating and requires cross-examination.

so.....

I didn't break the law.

"As for whether this constitutes perjury, secret recording, malicious fabrication of evidence, or illegal evidence collection..."

Xu De paused at this point.

Then, a smile appeared on his face.

"Remember this: if we were the defense and produced these, the judge, prosecutor, plaintiff, and attorney would be furious."

"But we are plaintiffs, and we have teammates."

Public prosecutors and civil litigation agents are natural allies and a community of shared interests.

So...

"If they produce these in court, they're more eager than us to 'legalize' this evidence than we are..."

"It's the prosecutor!!!"

That's right, once the evidence is presented, as long as everyone knows in their hearts that the evidence is genuine...

Even if the judge says the evidence is illegal, the first person to get angry will almost certainly be the prosecutor, who will argue that the evidence is as legal as it gets!

Wang Chao was stunned, holding his head in his hands with a look of astonishment on his face. He had never imagined that a case could be solved like this!

What is this?

Using someone else's strength against them? Or using one enemy to devour another?

Or perhaps it's a case of "close the door and unleash the dogs"? Xu De is in charge of closing the door, and Huang Shi is in charge of being the dog?

The school never taught that! Damn it, those law professors at those top-tier universities were keeping this a secret from him!

In short...

Xu De looked at Lin Yue.

"When is the trial scheduled?"

Lin Yue was still somewhat savoring the opponent's terrifying fighting style, but she still replied:

"It'll be soon. I reckon the summons will be sent over in the next few days."

Xu De nodded.

Illegal evidence collection? There's a 50% chance it won't be accepted?

First, this also means that cases that previously had no breakthrough now have a 50% chance of conviction.

Secondly, even if it is dislocated, it can still affect the judge's "freedom of sentencing".

The most crucial thing is...

"Just use it with peace of mind."

"When the time comes, prosecutors will naturally take the burden for us."

Xu De said calmly:

"We must trust the wisdom of our predecessors!!!"
