What's wrong with this lawyer?!
Chapter 243: Why hasn't Lawyer Lv, who said he would come last time, arrived yet?_2
Many civil and commercial lawyers think there's no issue, so they help file the lawsuit. But when the court checks, they find something's not quite right. If one issues a loan through a fraudulent scheme and then sues to get the money back, that's a sham lawsuit.
A bunch of civil and commercial lawyers ended up in trouble...
Whenever Zhang Wei finds himself in a difficult situation, he turns to his old notes. Sometimes, a casual remark from Director Tang can inspire the current him.
Another New Year, and Old Tang hasn't moved from the hospital; this time, he really enjoyed his stay in the ICU.
Lv Zhizhang only returned home for three days; by the third day of the New Year, he was off to Jingzhou again. He was determined to leverage his skills to work the case!
In the prosecutor's office in Jingzhou City, Lv Zhizhang was vigorously arguing his points with a prosecutor!
"I believe the current evidence is insufficient to prove that Ding Yongqiang's actions were performed while he was lucid. He has symptoms of schizophrenia, and he did this under the tremendous shock of his own father being shot."
"Yes, there were indeed preparations for the crime, but aren't these preparations based on his schizophrenia?"
"Do you prosecutors always handle cases like this? I..."
It started with a civil discussion, but it quickly escalated into a direct argument with the prosecutor. Ding Deshui's wife didn't know what to say, but she felt that this Lawyer Lv was really responsible!
After all, he was defending his son so fiercely against the prosecutor that his face turned red and his neck thick. How could he not be considered responsible? How else could one be responsible?
For Lv Zhizhang, this was just a routine performance... after so many years, he was used to it—he wouldn't feel right without a few arguments.
However, the work still needed to be done; the key lied in the preparation of the crime.
He needed to prove that Ding Yongqiang was also irrational during the preparation, which made it imperative to contact the witnesses.
At least to Lv Zhizhang, Ding Yongqiang was indeed mentally disturbed. There must have been some unusual aspects during the preparation that the witnesses knew about.
Amid this atmosphere, time quietly passed, and on one afternoon, Lv Zhizhang was on the phone inside a hotel.
"Ms. Lian, you felt that something was off with Ding Yongqiang at that time, right? So, you just need to appear in court and testify for us. It's very simple."
"There's nothing to it; as a witness, you have to tell the truth, right? If you felt something was abnormal, you must speak out. Witnesses have to be truthful; otherwise, you might be accused of perjury, you know?"
"In any case, take your time to think about it."
After ending the call, Lv Zhizhang felt a sigh of relief. He had finally discovered a breakthrough—the convenience store where Ding Yongqiang bought the lighter.
There was no need to mention the place where he bought gasoline; those people had been rounded up by the public security organs. Trading in gasoline is a crime too; now, they're all inside.
So the only lead was the convenience store that sold the lighter.
It was this sales clerk who had served Ding Yongqiang and also felt that something was off with him at the time.
Lv Zhizhang immediately seized the opportunity. He appealed to the clerk's emotions and reason, hinting that Ding Deshui's wife should offer some money.
He was well aware of the crime of lawyer perjury, but he didn't believe this was considered perjury, as Ding Yongqiang was truly not normal.
Now with a breakthrough, he planned to visit Ding Yongqiang again.
He needed to tell him that he was preparing a defense of innocence and to not blurt out anything.
It was impossible to teach him what to say again; that could backfire in an instant.
However, Lv Zhizhang didn't know that Ms. Lian on the other end of the phone had left her home and boarded a bus straight to Tengda after the call!
Ms. Lian was Sister Lian, one of the rights-defending homeowners in Victoria Gardens. After receiving substantial compensation, she opened a convenience store here.
It's true what they say—virtue is rewarded, and Jingzhou, especially Bright District, was where Old Tang had served for many years. With his daily workload, he had helped countless people.
She really didn't understand the current situation since she wasn't versed in law.
But as a person with sound values, Sister Lian knew very well that her current life was all thanks to Lawyer Tang's help. Now that Lawyer Tang was severely burned and hospitalized because of the suspect's attorney, she couldn't just say what they wanted her to say!
Regardless of other things, although she indeed felt something was wrong with Ding Yongqiang at the time—it was precisely because she felt something was off that she remembered him.
Otherwise, running a convenience store means meeting too many people every day; you simply can't remember everyone.
Now unsure of what to do, she thought it best to make a trip to Tengda.
Inside Tengda, Zhang Wei was discussing with a few defense attorneys. They knew Lv Zhizhang had contacted the witnesses, but the specifics were unclear.
As the attorney for the victim's side, he couldn't participate in the pre-trial evidence exchange, so he had to wait for the trial to learn anything.
In any case, Zhang Wei had prepared for every scenario, and he was confident he could take down Lv Zhizhang!
This wasn't just because of the law, but also other reasons. This is Jingzhou, the injured man was named Tang Fangjing, and the incident occurred right at the entrance of Jingzhou Women's Federation, with many leaders present...
Now you, a lawyer from Magic City, come here determined to defend the innocence of the accused—how could you lose in such a situation? This was no longer about 'flying dragons in the face.'
The law is the law, but the case isn't only about the law...
Just then, the door to the conference room was knocked, and Wang Daming walked in with a woman.
