Great Lawyer

Chapter 124 Criminal Cases ([-])

Fu Tao was coming back from the yamen, seeing her strangely said: "Why do you come to the yamen when you have time, do you want to ask me?"

"My lord, I want to see what happened to Wang Lei's case." Du Jiuyan said.

Fu Tao was taken aback, glanced at her and nodded, "Follow me." The two entered the room, Fu Tao handed her a file and said, "Wang Lei didn't plead guilty, so I haven't written the judgment yet. He is going to be charged tomorrow after the retrial, and the file will be sent up for approval."

Du Jiuyan opened the file and read it carefully from top to bottom. Fu Tao was sitting on the side drinking tea, waiting for her to finish reading.

"My lord." Du Jiuyan put down the file and asked, "The murder weapon was a kitchen knife from the deceased's house? Then, if the current case is true, did Wang Lei kill on a temporary basis?"

Fu Tao nodded, "Although there is no difference, what you said is correct."

"Wang Lai's motive was that the other party stepped on him on the street that day, and the two had a few quarrels. Wang Lai was so angry that he came to the door to steal, but when he saw that the deceased was asleep, he went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife and chopped the deceased. dead, and hacked twelve knives in a row?"

Fu Tao still nodded.

"This case is a Southwest defense case, a criminal case, so this Ou Heng is the lawyer of the Jiazi Division?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Ou Heng was a lawyer hired by the family of the deceased. He also defended the case. The evidence was clearly listed and the logic was clear. It could be seen that he was an experienced criminal case lawyer.

"Nine words." Fu Tao asked, "Do you think there is something wrong with this case?"

"No." Du Jiuyan said with a smile, "It's because they thought the deceased's family was very rich. For a murder case with solid evidence, they actually hired a lawyer. Isn't this superfluous?"

The government had arrests, and Wang Ling did not hire a lawyer to defend himself. In the case of clear evidence, the family of the deceased did not need to hire a lawyer at all.

Fu Tao breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Du Jiuyan would say that there was something wrong with this case. This kid has a different sensitivity to lawsuits than ordinary people. Take it easy."

"You're right. The Miao family is indeed very rich. It used to be the richest man in the southwest generation, but in the hands of his father, only half of the family property is left. When it is in the hands of the Miao Peng brothers, there is no tenth of the previous wealth. One or two."

"But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, presumably the wealth of the family should still be much better than that of ordinary people."

The clerk brought the tea, Du Jiuyan took it to thank him, and told about Guixiang's matter, "My lord, what should we do about this matter?"

"If this matter were in court, I would have dozens of sentences to answer you, but in private..." Fu Tao took a sip of tea, sighed and said, "It's really difficult. Putting an end to it for a while will never end. If they really want to be unfavorable to Gui Xiang, I dare not promise, I will definitely protect him."

Fu Tao's statement was the same as what Du Jiuyan thought, so she was not surprised.

"You came today just because of Guixiang?" Fu Tao was curious about Du Jiuyan's purpose.

Du Jiuyan put down the teacup and yawned, "To be honest, I've been very free these days. The people in Sanchitang already have experience, and they can handle those small cases. As for me... I just changed It's become a free meal."

"You also have today." Fu Tao laughed, shook his head, and said, "It seems that you are more interested in criminals, do you think there are challenges?"

Criminal cases are her true profession. Du Jiuyan shook her head and said, "It's because of criminal cases, the costs are high!"

Fu Tao naturally didn't believe it, he pointed at Du Jiuyan and laughed, "You boy, go, go, go, I have something to do."

"Then don't bother your lord, I'm off now!" Du Jiuyan left the yamen, and the cripple happened to be out to do some errands. When the two met, she asked, "What are you doing, can I help you?"

The cripple looked at her sideways, "It seems that you are really busy. If so, why don't you go back to sleep and rest."

"There is no peace at home." Du Jiuyan sighed.

There was a smile in the lame man's eyes.

Because Du Jiuyan was resting at home, Xiao Luobo didn't speak, so he sighed and looked sad around her.

Some people are very beautiful outside, but they suffer repeatedly at home. You must be really angry. Little Luobo has a sense of propriety. He never crosses the line when he should not say what he should not do, but if you are not angry, that boy It's really embarrassing.

"Then come with me to Miao's house." The lame man said, "They came yesterday and said they wanted to bury the deceased. Your lord ordered them to stop for seven days. Now that the case is almost done, let them bury him."

Du Jiuyan nodded, "Okay, then I'll do what I can and walk with you."

The cripple laughed.

Miao's mansion is not far from Lu's mansion. It is said that standing on the attic of Miao Fu's backyard, you can also see the luxuriant elm tree.

The lame man knocked on the door, and it was opened by a very old woman, estimated to be in her 70s or [-]s, with an old woman lying on her back.

"I'm from the yamen. I'm here to find Erye Miao." The cripple cupped his hands, and the old woman let out a hoarse voice and replied, "Come in."

Du Jiuyan entered the door with the lame man.Miao's house looks a bit dilapidated, but from the dilapidation and decay, the former glory can still be seen.

"Second master is in the main courtyard." The woman walked in front and said.

All the way in, there was a white flag hanging on the door. The two old women passing by also wore sackcloth and filial piety with dignified expressions. When they arrived at the main courtyard, a man in his 30s came out to greet him. The man was thin and his eyes were sunken. His face was sad and haggard.

"Master Lame!" The man stepped forward to salute.

The lame man nodded slightly, and said: "My lord asked me to pass on the message that your brother's coffin can be buried, you can choose a day to do it yourself."

"Yes, thank you sir for this matter, thank you third master and lame master." Miao Ying bowed his hands and wiped his tears with his sleeves, "my brother died unjustly, please remind me a few words in front of adults so My lord sent the case file up for trial earlier, so that the murderer can be brought to justice as soon as possible, and my elder brother can rest in peace."

"What I can do, of course I will! You are also in mourning." After the lame man finished speaking, he looked at Du Jiuyan.

Du Jiuyan shrugged.

"This is..." Miao Ying noticed Du Jiuyan and recognized him immediately, "You are Du Jiuyan?"

Du Jiuyan slightly arched his hands, "Exactly."

"Why did you come with the lame man? You...you are not the lawyer Wang Lei hired, are you?" Miao Ying was very alert, but even more excited, "Mr. Du, Wang Lei is a well-known rascal in Shaoyang City. Kidnapping is not evil, and now he kills my brother just for a moment of anger, you wouldn't want to defend such a person, would you?"

"That's not true." Du Jiuyan said: "But it's not because of other people's good or bad."

Even though she used to play the card of humanity and morality, these were all based on evidence and reasonable inferences.This has nothing to do with the character of the defendant or the plaintiff.

In this case, if Wang Lei did not kill, then he is innocent.

Even if he is a damn rascal, he cannot be killed with such a crime.

Thinking about it the other way around, if Wang Lei was wronged, then someone would get away with the crime, so it would be unfair to the deceased and the wronged.

"It seems that the famous Du Jiuyan is nothing more than that." Miao Ying stared at Du Jiuyan with a sarcasm smile, "However, even if you defend him, it is doomed to be useless. Wang Lei killed my brother, and the evidence Everything!"

Du Jiuyan and the cripple looked at each other.

"We're leaving." The lame man and Du Jiuyan didn't answer, and they left together. Miao Ying chased after him excitedly, "Mr. Du, if you accept this case, you will definitely lose the case, and you will lose your fame and fortune by then." Come on, you'll regret it."

Seeing that Du Jiuyan was silent, he was even more sure that she would defend Wang Lei, and said loudly: "You are helping the evildoers, if you pick me up, you will be a scum that violates professional ethics!"

"Miao Ying, right?" Du Jiuyan stopped and looked at him with folded arms, "Since what you said, it won't affect the case whether I accept it or not, so why are you so excited?"

Miao Ying was stunned, and shouted: "Of course I am excited, because it was my brother who died. I wish Wang Lei would be beheaded immediately to avenge my brother."

"So that's how it is." Du Jiuyan said: "I'll go back and get ready. I'll talk to you again tomorrow, and I'm leaving now."

Miao Ying questioned, "You, what do you mean?"

"It means that I will seriously consider it and gain both fame and fortune." After saying that, Du Jiuyan left in a huff.

Miao Ying jumped angrily.

"Are you really going to be Wang Lei's lawyer?" The cripple stopped and looked at her, "It's not like you, Wang Lei has no money to pay legal fees, and...it's really not good for your reputation."

Du Jiuyan said: "Before I went, I didn't think about it, but now I do have such a plan."

The two walked side by side, and the cripple seemed to understand what he meant, "Do you think that in the process of defending a case, one should only seek the truth of the case and not be influenced by the character of the parties?"

Du Jiuyan looked at the lame man in surprise, and laughed, "You say that, I think I'm great."

The great litigator Du Jiuyan went to Sanchitang and told her plan. The four of them were dumbfounded and puzzled by her decision.

Song Jiyi said: "Nine, Brother Nine, Brother, you, you don't, yes, you mean, people, character, very important, do you want it?"

"That's right. That was my plaintiff in the past. He was either rich or good-natured, but this time there is nothing. What reason do you want me to find?" Du Jiuyan said.

Dou Rongxing said: "I know. Justice!"

"Smart!" Du Jiuyan said.

Qian Daoan smiled and said: "However, Southwest is the plaintiff in this case, and the evidence is solid. Do you want to plead not guilty or guilty?"

"I'm not sure yet. I still need to investigate and collect evidence." Du Jiuyan said.
