Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Chapter 79 Charging towards the red line!

The judiciary does not accept your reason.

Lin Yue opened her throat, wanting to say something, but couldn't utter a word.

She was silent.

That's right.

The judiciary does not accept this reason.

The judiciary only recognizes evidence, only looks at objectively existing, true evidence. This "real-world experience," this "possibility," even if everyone knows in their hearts that it's true, Liu Jingqi is at least 17 years old, but...

The judiciary will still try cases based on the age of 16.

This is not a lack of flexibility, nor is it dullness.

On the contrary, the judiciary understands all too well that even the slightest loophole in such bottom-line laws would cause massive social unrest, so it will resolutely uphold the red line.

Even if it sometimes seems cold-blooded!

"So, is having evidence enough?"

Wang Chao, who was standing to one side, listened to the group chattering away for a while, and then he stroked his chin and automatically searched for keywords.

now that..

If the law doesn't recognize something without evidence, then conversely, wouldn't having evidence mean that anything can be changed?

This is indeed the case.

"If you can find Liu Jingqi's objective and real birth certificate, biological parents, and a series of irrefutable evidence."

Huang Shi smiled and said, "Then the age registered by the welfare home is naturally invalid."

Orphans theoretically have two identities.

First, for missing persons, meaning those with their original identities, the police will not cancel their identities until death is confirmed.

In theory, one's original identity would then remain alive.

Second, those are human traffickers!

Traffickers can legally obtain a second identity by selling orphans to others as sons or slaves, or registering them in orphanages.

One person with two identities is considered two different people within the legal system.

However, if you disclose both of your identities, the law will absolutely not allow you to live with both identities simultaneously.

Therefore, as long as others have sufficient information to prove that the original identity is correct, the second "false" identity will naturally be deleted.

Sounds simple, right?

But then a problem arises...

"Can't find it."

Huang Shi wore a calm smile and spoke in a steady tone, as if he were talking about something very ordinary.

"This objective evidence...cannot be found."

"How could that be?"

Wang Chao blurted out instinctively, "Police..."

""

He paused, then didn't finish his sentence.

That's right.

Can't find it.

That's the truth. The origins of the orphans in the orphanage are very vague, completely blank!

Even if it's to investigate a human trafficking case, it's much easier than finding the parents of normal orphans. After all, human trafficking has criminal clues, and you can always find them by following the clues.

And the babies abandoned at the gates of orphanages... there's absolutely no information about them.

"But...this is a murder case, we have to investigate further!"

Wang Chao was somewhat unwilling.

But after saying that, Huang Shi looked at Xu De and asked, "When you take on a case, how long does it take you to find a client?"

Xu De's last case was the Lijiacun case, in which the defendant Wang Qiang's daughter was abducted, and the buyer died when he went to rescue her.

talking.

Before the other party could answer, Huang Shi uttered a number on his own.

"ten years!"

"A full ten years! And that was only after the Green Forest City police unexpectedly caught a human trafficker, taking a full decade to find the child!"

"If this accident hadn't happened..."

""

"Do you believe that even if Wang Qiang were given another ten years, he still wouldn't be able to find Wang Mei?!"

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

Yellowstone.

But he still spoke on his own.

Huang Shi wore a self-deprecating smile, it was unclear whether he was mocking himself or someone else.

He continued, "Even if the police start searching now, they could find it in ten years."

"You can't keep Liu Jingqi detained indefinitely, can you? And you can't drag this out for ten years without sentencing her, can you?!"

"If the case has already been decided, is there any reason to continue investigating? After all, this is just a point of doubt. If you investigate based on these doubts without any justification, that's an invasion of privacy!"

Even putting all that aside...

Huangshi seems to be venting his inner dissatisfaction.

He started talking to himself, throwing out all the things he had been holding back for a month, or even years.

Even prosecutors Wang Mang and Zhang Qing sat silently to one side and listened.

Let's just talk about costs.

Huang Shi spoke up, once again raising a completely absurd and divisive point.

But it is also a very real problem!

Let's do the math.

"If we were to search for Liu Jingqi's biological parents over a period of ten years, what do you think the cost would be?"

Investigating a local human trafficking case typically involves a criminal investigation team of no more than five people.

As for cases involving multiple cities or provinces, it's normal for a previous squadron to have 15 people.

If there are 15 people and their total salary is 15,000, that's 180,000 a year, and 18 million in ten years!

This is just the base salary, nothing else.

When you go out on duty, you should be reimbursed for your meals and accommodation, right?

When you go out to investigate, you need to get your activity funds approved, right?

When you go out to investigate a case, you always need to apply for at least two police cars, right?

These all cost money!

"Although it sounds heartless, lacks morality and justice, and even suggests that all law enforcement officers are cold-blooded animals, but..."

"You're getting the government to spend so much money on a human trafficking case... no, on a suspected adult orphan."

""

A hint of bitterness gradually crept into Huang Shi's tone.

"This is unrealistic...very unrealistic."

This figure of 1.8 million is based on a salary of 1,000 yuan per person in 2002.

Police resources are currently strained nationwide. Take forensic doctors, for example; in some remote and impoverished areas, an entire county-level city might not even have one forensic doctor—they're rarer than giant pandas...

Where would you find so much money and so many people to fawn over an orphan? Not to mention there's no objective evidence to prove the other person is an adult!

With these resources, wouldn't it be more cost-effective to invest them in other cases?

"Perhaps in the future, there will be a way to solve this problem."

"But at least for now..."

'

Huang Shi took a deep drag of his cigarette, inhaling the entire smoke down to the butt.

"This case will be sentenced because the defendant is a minor aged 16."

"The police won't help you find evidence."

"They have no reason to do so, nor do they have the funds to do so."

"The prosecutor's office will not allow a case involving two lives to drag on for ten years."

The words echoed in the central hall of the court.

Lin Yue and Wang Chao opened their mouths, but ultimately remained silent.

They weren't fools, nor were they pure idealists or moral hypocrites, to get into university.

for example.

The government has 100 million yuan, and it claims that all of it will be used to build shelters for stray cats and dogs, while the funding for criminal homicide cases is 10,000 yuan.

What would you think?

They might think the government is incredibly powerful, a model country, the most democratic and free country in the world, valuing even the lives of stray animals so highly!

No.

A normal person would just think that the person who made the decision was an idiot.

The people who made this decision are a bunch of idiots.

Even if you want to make money, using this as a reason is just plain stupid.

Clearly, there aren't enough idiots in Dongguo to influence the police of a city to take such action.

"If you really feel bad about it..."

'

talking.

Huang Shi lit another cigarette for himself and, at the same time, lit the one in Xu De's hand as well.

Wang Chao, who had been waiting for a long time, still didn't get his wish.

Huang Shi stood up, making a gesture as if to leave.

Prosecutors, judges, and criminal police officers are all in the same boat when it comes to the mental realm.

Fragile heart... no, let's not talk about fragile heart anymore.

Even if you have a higher psychological resilience than the average person, you will still feel extremely painful and tormented when you enter the industry.

Huang Shi believes he has a strong ability to withstand pressure.

After all, Xu De had wronged him so badly in court, yet he could still talk about the case with him without holding a grudge.

Even so, the case at No. 18 Middle School kept him tossing and turning, unable to sleep all night, sitting on the edge of the bed smoking one cigarette after another.

Reality... can sometimes be chilling.

You have to face it.

We have to accept it.

"You can try to get more civil compensation."

"The defendant's family is quite wealthy."

The words were spoken.

Huang Shi turned around and led his men away.

Unfortunately, he hadn't taken two steps when a voice from behind made him stop in his tracks.

"I need certain permissions."

Huang Shi paused, turned around, and frowned as he looked at Xu De, who had stood up in front of him.

Xu De looked at him expressionlessly and said, "I need permission."

Huang Shi spoke up, "You want to overturn her age?"

"The prosecutors and police have already investigated, and this is completely..."

'

Before he could finish speaking, the other person's words cut him off.

How will you know if you don't try?

Xu De spoke up, frankly admitting that his purpose was to investigate.

"Prosecutor Huang, you should know what's placed first in a lawyer's professional ethics, right?"

Is impartiality the core of a lawyer's professional ethics?

No, impartiality is the judge's job, and before a trial, no one knows the truth of a case or who is right and who is wrong.

Therefore, the first principle for lawyers is...

"The client's interests come first in everything!"

Xu De spoke, and then there was no ink left.

The principle of a lawyer is to focus on the client and strive to secure their interests within the bounds of the law.

Of course, this will also be used by countless unscrupulous lawyers as a get-out-of-jail-free card, using it as a shield for their illegal and unethical behavior.

Fortunately, Xu De was not unscrupulous; his name itself suggests that he was a virtuous person!

"My client needs an explanation for this case, and he made it clear to me that he doesn't want the money."

"Then I should make his demands my goal."

"Instead of lowering our standards because of difficulties and unilaterally switching to civil litigation to seek compensation!"

"so...

"7

"I need certain permissions."

"At the very least, the prosecution can provide appropriate cooperation during our independent investigation."

The words were spoken.

Huang Shi frowned, staring intently at the other person.

Xu De showed no emotion whatsoever, as if he had just been chatting casually.

His goal was clear: to get the other party to admit that his investigation of Liu Jingqi was legal and related to the case. If any "crossing the line" occurred, Huang Shi would be responsible for communication.

no way.

In criminal prosecution, although both sides are on the same side...

However, in the criminal field, the other party's sense of justice and legal rationality far surpasses that of oneself!

Just like in the court hearing, he had to force Huang Shi to admit that the evidence of the raid was valid and legal, but if he said it out loud, even if it was the same words, the effect would be greatly reduced.

Similarly, in some aspects, it is also difficult to investigate on one's own.

But if Huangshi verbally agrees and is willing to cooperate to a certain extent... that's a completely different matter.

"Are you serious?"

Huang Shi frowned and asked again to confirm.

"We will cover the expenses ourselves. If we do anything right, the prosecution will take credit; if we don't, you will not be implicated."

Xu De decided to disregard all sentimentality and speak frankly.

"I just want my demands met!"

Demands...

Lawyers don't need credit; credit is useless to them. All they need to do is fulfill their clients' requests!

At that time, countless people will naturally be waving their money to support his efforts.

And Yellowstone...

No, any prosecutor here would understand that if Xu De could accomplish this, it would be a tremendous achievement for him!

Why?

Because a prosecutor's performance is measured by court trials!

If you lose a case, you'll be punished; if you win, you've passed the assessment.

In a case involving two murders where the defendants disguised themselves as minors to evade trial, their true identities were exposed, leading to a satisfactory verdict...

It's as hard as it gets!

Not to mention that even funding doesn't require approval.

It's impossible for anyone not to be moved, especially since the prosecution also felt sorry for Yang Huan; these two emotions are not contradictory.

Huang Shi stared at Xu De for a long time, trying to figure out the other party's true purpose.

Finally, he exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance."

"You submit the report, I'll approve the approval."

Huang Shi spoke, his tone resolute, without uttering a word of denial.

Having received the verbal authorization, Xu De nodded.

Without hesitation, he turned and left...

Heading towards the detention center!

Huang Shi stared intently at his retreating figure, his mind filled with the words Hu Guang had once used to describe him.

"Fighting tooth and nail for laws protecting minors..."

"He murmured, his breathing becoming heavier.

Other lawyers would probably turn around and leave as soon as they see these words.

The other party, however, stubbornly insisted on fighting to the bitter end...

Is it ignorance breeds fearlessness, youthful arrogance? Or is it due to genuine ability and confidence?

Huang Shi was just reflecting on this.

In a daze.

As Wang Chao turned to leave, he seemed to remember something. He paused for a moment, then quickly ran back to the hall and stood in front of Huang Shi.

Huang Shi froze, looking at the other person, and subconsciously asked, "You...is there something else?"

Wang Chao said, "You're disrespecting me!"

He was somewhat dissatisfied and decided to make things clear.

Huangshi: ?

Huang Shi was even more stunned. "How did I disrespect you?"

Wang Chao's expression grew increasingly dissatisfied. "You won't even let me offer you a cigarette."

How can you distribute cigarettes only to one person?

Huang Shi remained silent, then took out his cigarette case, pulled out a cigarette, and offered it to the other person.

"Does this show respect now?" he asked tentatively.

Wang Chao didn't speak, with a cigarette between his lips, and made a thumbs-up gesture with his right hand, then kept pressing his finger down.

Huang Shi understood and took out a lighter to light it.

"Smack!"

"Phew~"

Wang Chao took a puff and felt refreshed.

"Do I respect you now?" Huang Shi asked.

Wang Chao didn't speak, but simply stretched out his hand and pointed to Lin Yue, who was following behind Xu De in the distance.

"You don't respect her!"

"The girls are leaving too!?"

Huang Shi looked at the girl with a face full of surprise.

Wang Chao shook his hand in dissatisfaction.

Huang Shi hesitated for a moment, then handed the cigarette to the other person. After thinking for a moment, he also handed over the lighter.

This time, Wang Chao was very satisfied.

only..

The next second, Wang Chao shoved the lighter and cigarette back into his hand.

"Lawyer Lin does not smoke."

Huangshi: ?

"You don't smoke, yet you still want to walk around?" Prosecutor Zhang Qing couldn't help but ask.

Wang Chao said, "Offering cigarettes is a gesture, it has nothing to do with whether you smoke or not!"

"I didn't bring any cigarettes this time, I'll make up for it next time."

After saying that, Wang Chao left satisfied, jogging a few steps to catch up with Xu De.

The three of them stared at each other's backs, their lips moving for a long time.

Finally, he uttered two words.

"Emphasis on details".
