If you were asked to file a lawsuit, how come you were not found guilty?

Chapter 171: Make every defense worthwhile

City M.

Arriving at Chen Guangming's office again, Ren Zhen took a glass of water for himself with ease, took out a box of tea leaves from Chen Guangming's cabinet, and squeezed a large handful.

Seeing the amount Ren Zhen pinched, Chen Guangming couldn't help but twitch his face.

Although our family doesn't care about money, it's too wasteful for you. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to sleep at night?
"Professor Chen, you accidentally caught too many, do you mind?"

Ren Zhen sat down unceremoniously, and Chang Jiahang beside him was speechless.

If there is too much, you can put it back. You just throw it into the cup. Chen Guangming, do you mind if it is useful?
"I don't mind, I don't mind. It just so happens that you can't sleep tonight."

After several interactions, the two of them were familiar with each other. Knowing that Ren Zhen was not a talkative person, Chen Guangming was too lazy to beat around the bush and directly told Ren Zhen that there was a big battle to be fought next.

"Don't say that, I only show off my skills and not my body!"

Ren Zhen tightened the buttons of his suit. Chen Guangming almost choked on his own saliva and glared at him fiercely.

puff-

Chang Jiahang, who was sitting aside and was as quiet as a little chicken, couldn't hold back his laughter after hearing this.

Given Chen Guangming's age and his status, I am afraid that Ren Zhen is the first person to say such harsh words in front of him.

"There has been a lot of buzz on the Internet recently, so I shouldn't need to introduce it further, right?"

Chen Guangming picked up the cup and blew on it: "How about it, do you want to take it?"

"It won't be your relative again this time, right?"

Ren Zhen rubbed his chin: "Why did Professor Chen's relative get into so much trouble? Last time we were retried, at least he was innocent. This time he did something wrong. Why do we want to retrial him?"

Although this is half a joke, it is indeed true.

In the last case of Shi Hao, Shi Hao was clean and was wrongly accused from the beginning to the end.

But in this case, judging from the information on the Internet, after taking money that did not belong to him from the cash machine, he immediately resigned and returned to his hometown, refusing to answer the bank's phone calls. This will definitely lead to jail time.

"It's not a relative this time, it was introduced by a friend."

Chen Guangming waved his hand quickly, "My family are all serious people, please don't talk nonsense."

"If our lawyer friends, especially criminal lawyer friends, come to visit us, they will definitely be in trouble. Isn't it normal for them to be difficult!
Besides, although the second-instance judgment has been issued, the party concerned wants to apply for a retrial. This is his right. We can't persuade him to give up, can we? "

Ren Zhen spread his hands indifferently: "Whether you want to accept it or not, you have to first understand the specific circumstances of the case. There are only the first and second instance verdicts online, so I can't give a clear answer yet."

"So if you're not sure you'll be innocent, then you won't take the call, right?"

Chen Guangming scratched his head. Seeing Ren Zhen running over from H City so happily, he thought he had decided to take the case.

"When did I say that I only fight innocent cases?"

Ren Zhen rolled his eyes. Although this Jianghu image sounds very cool, if he really judges whether to accept a commission based on this standard, is he still worthy of being a lawyer?

“I just want to see if the second-instance court’s verdict is reasonable.

If there are no issues with the verdict, then there is no need for a retrial. I don’t want to make unnecessary efforts just for some attorney fees. "

Do you want every defense you make to have real value?

Chen Guangming was stunned for a moment, as if he saw his young self in Ren Zhen.

Now, although he still has some enthusiasm, he no longer has the enthusiasm he had when he was just starting out.

"it is good."

Chen Guangming nodded with approval, "Then I will call someone over now and tell you the case." "Call someone over?"

Ren Zhen was confused: "People should be locked up now, right?"

"Not the person involved."

Chen Guangming shook his head as he picked up his mobile phone, "As I said just now, this case was introduced by a friend, who is also a partner of a law firm, and their law firm handled the first and second instance of this case.

Now that the parties involved have applied for a retrial, they feel that even if the case is retried, there will be no new points to be made, so they come to me. "

The call was connected, and Chen Guangming said a few words to the other end of the phone.

"They'll be here soon."

Chen Guangming put down the phone and signaled that the person on the other end of the phone had already left.

"Yes, then why don't you go into battle yourself?"

Ren Zhen was suddenly curious. If we talk about Shi Hao's last case, it was because Chen Guangming considered certain influences and it was not convenient for him to take action himself. There was no reason to introduce every case to others.

Then as a lawyer, it would be more appropriate for him to be a matchmaker.

"That's a long story."

Chen Guangming sighed: "Although I am also a lawyer, 20 years ago, I could even say that I was one of the top criminal defense lawyers in this province without any humility.

However, I have been doing a lot of theoretical research in school over the years, so my legal thinking will inevitably tend to be more theoretical.

Although nothing can be seen on the surface, only I know that when I encounter some tricky or controversial issues, the direction I think in may be correct to a certain extent, but it may not be the best for the parties involved. .

Therefore, over the years, I have intentionally or unintentionally taken fewer cases. On the one hand, I want to focus on legal theoretical research, and on the other hand, it is actually to avoid trapping any party involved. "

Chang Jiahang on the side scratched his head and didn't quite understand. Just do the theory. How could it affect your career as a lawyer?
But Ren Zhen knows that Chen Guangming's words are definitely not nonsense. The cases that Chen Guangming can represent are either difficult and complex cases or the identities of the parties involved are unusual.

No matter what the situation is, a little deviation in thinking is likely to bring immeasurable consequences.

And with Chen Guangming's current status, he can naturally avoid such troubles whenever he can.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

Chen Guangming didn't say some words, but Ren Zhen still heard his helplessness.

So as your reputation becomes more and more famous and your influence becomes greater, do you become more and more timid in doing things?
I sighed for Chen Guangming in my heart and skipped this topic.

After casually talking about a topic, the two chatted for a few more words, and then there was a knock on the office door.

"So fast?"

Chang Jiahang stood up and opened the door. Ren Zhen was a little surprised.

It’s only been half an hour since Chen Guangming put down the phone, and here we are?

"Their law firm is not far from here, it only takes about ten minutes by car."

Two middle-aged men in their thirties entered the door and greeted Chen Guangming from a distance:

"Professor Chen, long time no see!"

"Long time no see, long time no see."

Chen Guangming moved from the table to the coffee table aside and invited everyone to sit down on the sofa.

I just met yesterday, almost 24 hours ago. It’s been a long time indeed.

Chen Guangming complained in his heart, Ren Zhen was sincere and didn't say any nonsense, but he just spoiled my tea leaves.
