Official road bends

Before Liu Yongli and the others dispersed, they couldn't help smiling when they heard Li Yi calling Zuo Xiaoxia the old leader, and shouted to Zuo Xiaoxia, "Hi, leader."

Zuo Xiaoxia chuckled and said, "What kind of leader am I? You guys made a mistake."

Liu Yongli looked at Li Yi with a puzzled face.

Li Yi laughed and said: "This is my alumnus. When she was in school, she was the leader of the student union, so I called her the old leader." He gave a brief introduction to everyone.

Liu Yongli and the others laughed loudly, and then said goodbye tactfully.

Li Yi and Zuo Xiaoxia followed each other, Li Yi smiled and said, "I feel that you are much more mature."

Zuo Xiaoxia said: "Are you trying to say that I am getting old?"

Li Yi said: "Maturity is a state of mind. You are not old, you are still similar to the school meeting. When I see you, I think of our lost youth."

Zuo Xiaoxia pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Li Yi, you are indeed much more mature. When you were sitting on the stage giving a report, even I was impressed by your demeanor. It's hard to believe that you are my classmate! The difference between my level and your level is too big."

The two were looking for a place to catch up on the old days, when Wu Zhongwei called, saying that there had been new progress in the case, and they wanted to talk to Li Yi.

Li Yi smiled and said: "It's just right, come out, I am going to drink tea with an alumnus, let's go together."

Wu Zhongwei asked who it was, and Li Yi replied that you must know each other, and you will know it when you meet.

Wu Zhongwei then said: "There is a very good teahouse here. It's right next to the office. It's easy to find. If you have a car, come here! I'll wait for you at the entrance of the teahouse."

When Zuo Xiaoxia heard Li Yi said that she wanted to talk about something, she didn't really want to go, but Li Yi said: "It's my classmate, who became a lawyer. Let me introduce you." Zuo Xiaoxia couldn't refuse, so she ordered nod.

The two came to the vicinity of the law firm where Wu Zhongwei worked, and saw a large teahouse sign.He drove the car closer.

Wu Zhongwei was at the door, and when he saw Li Yi's car, he waved. Zuo Xiaoxia used to be an active celebrity in Nantah University.Another beauty, Wu Zhongwei recognized her at a glance, and said with a smile: "Isn't this Chairman Zuo? I only watched from a distance in school before! Li Yi, how did you know each other?"

Li Yi said with a smile: "We are classmates in the party school."

Zuo Xiaoxia shook hands with Wu Zhongwei generously, and the three of them went to the teahouse and sat down.

"Li Yi, things have some clues. A colleague of mine happened to be working on a construction site compensation dispute case. However, the object of his defense is not the sufferer, but a contractor."

When it comes to work, Wu Zhongwei is eloquent.

Li Yi said: "Oh? Does that have anything to do with the case of Li Jing's family?"

Wu Zhongwei smiled and said: "Coincidentally, it's the same contractor! This guy is unlucky. He had an accident just now, and this time it happened again! And it's a big deal. A worker fell off the scaffolding."

Li Yi said: "How is the situation of the workers?"

Wu Zhongwei put away his smile, shook his head slightly, and said, "I fell on a concrete slab. My brain burst out on the spot and I died. A tall building with more than [-] floors! This..."

"Ah!" Zuo Xiaoxia was a woman, thinking of the miserable scene, she couldn't help screaming: "Isn't that miserable?"

Wu Zhongwei said: "I've seen the photos of the scene, it's horrible."

Li Yi asked in a deep voice: "Why did the contractor find a lawyer?"

Wu Zhongwei said: "Don't you want to exonerate yourself? I don't want to lose money!"

Zuo Xiaoxia said: "People have fallen to their deaths, shouldn't they pay for it? This kind of contractor is too hateful."

Li Yi said: "How did he escape the crime?"

Wu Zhongwei said: "He provided proof that the deceased did not go to work that day, but was on vacation and ran to the scaffolding. It was to chat with a friend. The deceased slipped and fell by himself, so it cannot be regarded as a work-related injury."

Zuo Xiaoxia slammed her embroidered fist on the table, and said, "It's unreasonable! It's so unscrupulous! Lawyer Wu, you lawyers, don't even have this bit of conscience? You also accept such a lawsuit?"

Wu Zhongwei smiled wryly and said, "I didn't answer it, but my colleague did."

Zuo Xiaoxia said: "That is also your colleague. You persuade him not to take such a case. Have you never watched "The Judge of Death"? Are you afraid of such a lawsuit?"

Wu Zhongwei shrugged and said to Li Yi: "Come on, who did our lawyer recruit? You all have to judge me when you see me. I don't even have a girlfriend now. Talking about children is a bit far away." Li Yi, we have discussed this question, you can answer it for me!"

Li Yi smiled and said: "Leader, don't be impatient. Even a death row prisoner has the right to ask a lawyer to defend himself. If he can't afford it, the court will arrange a lawyer to defend him. From the perspective of professional ethics Generally speaking, when a lawyer defends a prisoner, he or she performs the duties that a lawyer should do. It does not mean that a lawyer agrees with a prisoner to commit a crime and assists the tyrant. When a lawyer defends a prisoner on death row, it does not mean that the lawyer approves the behavior of the prisoner. This is just their professional duty. "

Zuo Xiaoxia said: "It's hard for me to understand. To be honest, it's the first time I've come into contact with the profession of lawyers. I haven't really thought about it deeply before. Hearing what you said today, I became curious. Death row prisoners, They must be the ones who deserve death, why should lawyers defend them?"

Wu Zhongwei said: "When we lawyers are not in court, from the perspective of ordinary citizens, we also hate crimes. In real life, we can understand the feelings of many victims' families towards criminals. They hope that lawyers will speak fair words. Don't speak up for the bad guys, we understand."

After a pause, Wu Zhongwei said in a deep voice: "But prisoners are also human beings, and prisoners also have rights. This is a human right granted to every natural person by the laws of a civilized society, and no one can take it away. One of the original intentions of the country's lawyer system is to protect In terms of human rights, it can be said that the right to defense by a lawyer is also an extension of the human rights of citizens, if there is no lawyer to defend the prisoner, the prisoner's right to defense will be deprived, and the corresponding human rights will naturally be affected."

Li Yi added: "Leader, I felt the same as you before, but since I was brainwashed by Wu Zhongwei, I agree with him."

Zuo Xiaoxia said: "In this way, you are right. But I still feel uncomfortable! It is right to defend good people, but how can you defend bad people! Is this a bad lawyer?"

Wu Zhongwei said: "Who is a good person and who is a bad person? If it is so easy to distinguish clearly, then there will be no unjust, false or wrongly decided cases in this world. In fact, unjust cases always exist. Before a person is sentenced by the court, he Just a criminal suspect, so he must be a villain who deserves death? Does he not have the right to a lawyer? How is that different from the rule of man in a feudal society? Everything is decided by the lord!"

These words shocked Zuo Xiaoxia a lot, he couldn't help but nodded.Said: "I understand your lawyer. Lawyer Wu, I'm sorry, what I just said was a bit biased, please don't mind."

Wu Zhongwei said: "I'm used to it. I've been questioned and stared at by others enough in this line of work. The more the truth is debated, the clearer it is!"

Li Yi said: "Let's continue with the case. The contractor wants to get rid of the crime. I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on lawyers alone?"

Wu Zhongwei said: "You want to say that he gave gifts to the people in the court? Yes! Exactly. He told my colleague that he is an old acquaintance with Dean Feng of the Intermediate Court. As long as my colleague defends him , we will definitely win the lawsuit!"

Li Yi sneered and said, "Sure enough!"

Zuo Xiaoxia said: "That colleague of yours is willing to tell you these words, which shows that he is also a good lawyer."

Wu Zhongwei said: "Of course, we are lawyers, although some people will do some conscientious things for lawyer fees. But most of them are very honest. Our original intention and motivation of becoming lawyers is also for the justice of the law! "

Li Yi said: "Can you ask your colleague to help collect relevant evidence? As long as there is evidence, we can pull that Dean Feng down!"

Wu Zhongwei smiled, took out an audio tape, handed it to Li Yi, and said: "As lawyers, the biggest good habit is to like to record the conversation! Here, this is what my colleague recorded, and I transcribed it. One."

Li Yi said with a chuckle: "With this thing, it's easy to punish Dean Feng."

Wu Zhongwei said: "Li Yi, don't be too happy too early. These conversations are just the one-sided words of the contractor. Dean Feng can completely deny it. We still have nothing to do with him."

Li Yi said: "Zhongwei, you are a lawyer, what good ideas do you have?"

Wu Zhongwei said: "The contractor and Dean Feng are in secret contact. It is impossible for them to let us lawyers get involved. I am helpless now, and there is only so much I can do."

Li Yi picked up the tape, raised it, and frowned in thought.

Li Yi suddenly thought: It would be great if Lin Xin was here, maybe she can have some good ideas!

Then he laughed, since he got married, his dependence on Lin Xin has increased day by day!

"Li Yi, you are smiling, have you thought of something?" Wu Zhongwei asked.

Li Yi put away the tape and said: "Let me think about it again. By the way, I suddenly remembered that there are still things to do. You two should chat first, Zhongwei, and Zuo Xiaoxia will leave it to you. The end is over." You help me send people back."

Zuo Xiaoxia said, "I'm leaving too."

Li Yi said: "Can you talk to Zhongwei again? It's rare to be so speculative, and work in the same city, make friends, and have a care in the future."

Zuo Xiaoxia said: "I also suddenly remembered that there are still things to do!"

Wu Zhongwei said: "Then let's go, I will go back to work."

The three of them broke up.

Li Yi and Zuo Xiaoxia got into the car.

Li Yi inserted the car key in and started the car, and suddenly saw Zuo Xiaoxia's frosty face, her pretty face was covered with ice.

Li Yi asked with a smile: "Leader, what's wrong with you? Who messed with you? Wasn't it good just now?"

Zuo Xiaoxia had a pretty face, and said angrily: "Li Yi, you are too much!"

Li Yi's expression was stagnant, he stopped starting the car, turned his head and asked, "Where did you say that?"

Zuo Xiaoxia said with a cold face: "Li Yi, don't pretend to be crazy! What did you mean just now?"

Li Yi said: "What do I mean? I don't mean anything!"

Zuo Xiaoxia sneered and said, "Li Yi, you clearly want to leave with an excuse to create a chance for me to be alone with that lawyer Wu?"

She saw through the little Jiujiu in Li Yi's heart, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Wu Zhongwei is a good man."

Zuo Xiaoxia wiped her eyes and said, "Li Yi, do you think I'm an old girl that no one wants? Do you think I can't get married? I want you to take care of me! You have the energy, go Wouldn’t it be nice to do something practical for the common people?”

Li Yi lowered his head, he really had this thought just now.Because he saw that Wu Zhongwei and Zuo Xiaoxia had a good chat, he deliberately matched the two of them, so he left first with an excuse, wanting to create a chance for the two of them to be alone.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Xiaoxia saw through just as soon as he made this thought.

"Leader..." Li Yi said.

"Don't call me the leader, you are my serious leader!" Zuo Xiaoxia's pale face was tense, obviously very angry.

Li Yi said: "Okay, okay, then I will call you Comrade Zuo Xiaoxia?"

Zuo Xiaoxia said: "Whatever you want! Take me home!"

Li Yi said: "I still want to invite you to dinner, but you agreed."

"I don't dare to eat the guest invited by Director Li." Zuo Xiaoxia replied coldly.

Li Yi said: "Comrade Zuo Xiaoxia, are you still afraid that I will betray you?"

Zuo Xiaoxia sneered and said, "That's right, I'm just afraid that you'll sell me. Didn't you just sell me out once?"

Seeing that she was really angry, Li Yi turned off the car, reached out to touch her fragrant shoulder, and said, "Xiaoxia, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it."

Zuo Xiaoxia bit her lightly, shook her shoulders, and said, "You did it on purpose! Yes, I like you! You know I like you, so you are afraid that I will pester you, and you want to kick me away , you want me to get married as soon as possible, don’t you? That’s what you have in mind, right?”

Li Yi froze, recalling what she said just now, and said, "Xiaoxia, what did you just say? Do you like me?"

Zuo Xiaoxia said: "What? I just said it, what do you want? Li Yi, I just like you! I fell in love with you as early as when I was at Nantah University! Can't you see it, you fool? Knowing that you would break up with Guo Xiaoling, I just... just..."

"I'm sorry." Li Yi put down his hand on her shoulder, and murmured, "I really don't deserve it, you should make another plan as soon as possible!"

It's not that he doesn't understand Zuo Xiaoxia's heart, it's just that he doesn't want her to be the second Guo Xiaoling.

"Make another plan?" Zuo Xiaoxia rubbed her heart, and said sadly: "Li Yi, who do you think I am? Is it that simple to love someone? Just make another plan and you can empathize ?”

Love doesn't know where to start, it goes deep!

The living can die, and the dead can live.

Those who are born but cannot die, and those who are dead but cannot be resurrected are not the ultimate in love. ! .
