Chapter 751 Meeting Chen Guowei
Seeing that the two were a little confused, Han Tao smiled and said, "Don't think about it if you can't figure it out. Since the visit has been approved, come with me to meet Chen Guowei. You will know the answer when you get there!"

"Okay!" Jun Yue and Cheng Wenjing responded in unison.

Although both of them had a lot of questions, Han Tao didn't say anything, so they could only keep them in their hearts and follow him out.

A group of two cars drove all the way to the detention center, showed all their documents, and then met Chen Guowei as a defense lawyer.

From the first impression, even though he is very thin, one can tell that he is a well-mannered and handsome boy.

If he was not someone familiar to them, no one would have thought that he was a murderer.

At the moment, he was in a very low mood. When he saw Cheng Wenjing behind Han Tao, he asked excitedly:

"Lawyer Cheng, are my sister and mother okay? Have those people come to my house again? Are they bullying them?"

Chen Wenjing nodded, "Chen Guowei, don't worry, they are all fine, they have been protected by us, and no one will bully them anymore, you can rest assured."

"Thank you, thank you... I feel relieved now... You are a good person, please take better care of them in the future, I can only repay you in my next life..."

Chen Guowei breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him over and over again. His expression changed from worry to relief, and then to despair.

"Chen Guowei, you can't give up, we have already appealed on your behalf!"

Cheng Wenjing consoled him and formally introduced him, "This is Director Han from Mingtang Law Firm. He's your new defense lawyer."

"Hello!" Chen Guowei said hello weakly, then shook his head and said, "You are the one hired by Lawyer Cheng Qiu to help, thank you for taking my case.

But I don't plan to appeal, so don't waste your energy. I've figured it out in the past few days. They are all their people, and the knife can't be found. It's useless for anyone to defend me.

And I don’t want to implicate Lawyer Cheng anymore. As long as I accept my fate, they won’t deal with you, and they won’t harass my sister and my mother anymore.”

Seeing him crying and his tone full of despair, Han Tao said seriously: "Man, why are you crying?
It's not your fault, why should you accept your fate? Show the courage you showed when you protected your family, and never give up until the last moment."

Hearing this, Chen Guowei cried even harder, looking at Han Tao with grievance while crying.

"I don't want to admit defeat either. I... I am not wrong, but the law only looks at evidence. I can't win... Woo..."

Before he could finish, Han Tao said, "Why can't you win? Not to mention that you can't prove that you killed someone, even if you did, it would be considered self-defense. How can you give up so easily!"

"Huh? You can't prove that I killed someone? No, no..." Chen Guowei raised his head, widened his eyes and said, "Hasn't the first instance already made a verdict, and..."

"No, we appealed because there were problems with the first-instance judgment and we did not agree with it."

Han Tao interrupted him, then remained silent for a moment, waiting for him to calm down before continuing:

“I came here this time because, firstly, we found some new evidence that is favorable to you, and secondly, I want to understand the situation again.

You need to recall carefully and tell me every detail of the events and processes that you can remember, without hiding anything.

This way I can make the right judgment and compare it with other witnesses and Chen Lele’s confession to find clues and contradictions that were previously ignored or missed.”

After saying that, Han Tao looked into Chen Guowei's eyes seriously, and his tone became heavier when he mentioned clues, contradictions, and words like ignored and omitted.

Han Tao was reminding him, and Cheng Wenjing and Luo Yun behind him also understood what he meant. A lawyer must understand the details of the case, including relevant facts, evidence and legal documents.

This helps lawyers to cite the correct legal provisions during the defense and determine the potential impact and outcome of the case.

Sometimes, in order to better defend, lawyers need to sort through a large amount of case files to find hidden clues and contradictions. Because no one is perfect and everyone looks at things differently, many seemingly insignificant details may be the key to uncovering the truth.

Chen Guowei also understood this, so he recounted what happened that day. Although a month or two had passed, the experience was still vivid in his mind when he talked about it again.

After waiting until he finished speaking, and even after he said it twice, Han Taoxun asked:
"That is to say, after Feng Shouyi came out of the house, you had a conflict, and then many people helped him beat you.

During that time, Feng Shouyi took out a knife and tried to hurt someone. You were very scared at the time and wanted to dodge, but you were surrounded by many people, so you had no way to avoid him. That’s why you resisted, right?”

Hearing Han Tao's question, Chen Guowei nodded and said, "Yes, when I saw him take out the knife, I was so scared that my mind went blank. I waved my arms around like a madman, trying to break free from the others' suppression."

Han Tao nodded and continued to ask: "Do you remember what Feng Shouyi was doing while you were trying to break free from your restraints and resist?"

"I remember that there were other people who joined him in beating me, so he was afraid of hurting his own people. He tried to stab me several times but failed. In the end, for some reason, the knife fell to the ground.

Then he went to pick it up, and others also helped to pick it up. I was so scared that he would get the knife and stab me again, so I also followed suit to grab it.

In the end, the knife stabbed Feng Shouyi in the chest, but someone took the knife away, oooo…”

Han Tao looked at Chen Guowei and confirmed again: "It was very chaotic at the time. Can you confirm that several people were fighting for the knife? And the knife was brought by Feng Shouyi?"

"I can confirm that several people helped Feng Shouyi pick up the knife. I was afraid that he would stab me after he got it, so I followed him to grab it. The knife belonged to Feng Shouyi, and he took it out of the car!"

"Since the scene was in chaos and the knife was missing, how can you be sure that Feng Shouyi stabbed himself to death? With so many people involved, how did you get the knife?"

After hearing Han Tao's words, Chen Guowei was stunned for a moment, looked at Han Tao, and said in a trembling voice:
"This... my mind was really confused at the time... so... so...

So when I was fighting with them, suddenly someone shouted "murder", and then I saw Feng Shouyi fell down with a knife in his chest, and there was a lot of blood on my hands.

By the way, some of the people who beat me had blood on their bodies and hands, but they all said that I killed Feng Shouyi and stabbed them.

When the police arrived, they took us all to the police station. At the time, one of the police officers said that this was excessive self-defense, but I didn’t expect that the final verdict was indeed intentional homicide.”

Han Tao smiled and said, "So, you are not sure whether you were the one who stabbed the deceased with the knife, right?

It was the gang of accomplices who broke into the house with the deceased Feng Shouyi. They all said that you killed someone, so you admitted it. "

Chen Guowei raised his head, looked at him with red eyes, nodded and responded: "Yes, I did try to grab the knife. When the police were recording my statement..."

"Okay, I understand. Let's stop talking here."

After Chen Guowei told Han Tao about what happened at the police station, he nodded and ended the conversation.

"Is it over? Don't you have any instructions?"

Chen Guowei was a little confused. Don’t defense lawyers usually give some instructions? Just like Lawyer Cheng did at that time, he mentioned a lot of details and precautions.

Han Tao still smiled and said, "No more. After the court session, you will repeat what you told me, including the questions I asked. Leave the rest to me."

"I understand!" Chen Guowei nodded heavily and began to recall the details of his conversation with Han Tao.

Gradually, he began to understand that since he was able to get into a key university on his own, he might not be very smart, but he was definitely not a fool.
