What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 243: Why hasn't Lawyer Lv, who said he would come last time, arrived yet?_3



"Zhang Wei, stop the discussion for now, there's new information!" "Director, what new information do we have?" Zhang Wei asked. Old Wang pointed at Lian Dajie and said, "This is Lian Dajie. Ding Yongqiang bought the lighter from her shop. Lv Zhizhang has already contacted her." It only took three sentences for Old Wang, and at this point, Zhang Wei had already grasped the situation. He hurried over and asked, "You're Lian Dajie, right? So, what did Lv Zhizhang say to you?" Lian Dajie responded, "He said he wanted me to testify in court. That Ding Yongqiang, when he bought the lighter, he seemed a bit off..." "Oh right, I also have the phone recording. Do you need it?" What's this? Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei was stunned. He carefully reviewed his notebook where "lure the witness who sold the lighter to testify in court" was a significant possibility. But now, without much effort, it was already settled? You should know, Zhang Wei had actually been planning to catch the opposition's mistakes during the trial, imitating Director Tang and directly sending them to jail from the courthouse. Yet here the witness had come forward on her own accord, and her willingness implied, as long as you need me, I am fully at your service... This was like defeating a final boss with a cheat code activated. If Zhang Wei were replaced with a dog, he could still manage to get Lv Zhizhang arrested... Zhang Wei was dazed and the lawyer beside him immediately asked, "Did Lv Zhizhang really say that? That's great, Lian Dajie, right? We need the recording. Would you be willing to help us by testifying?" Lian Dajie nodded incessantly, "No problem. Whatever testimony you need from me, I'll provide!" Lawyer Tang had helped her so much, one could say he had saved her life. Now it was her time to help, and that was only natural. Zhang Wei shook his head to clear his thoughts. He felt that whenever Director Tang was involved, the situation would mysteriously transform. Before it was soaring dragons and fierce fights, but now it felt like an easy path had been laid out ahead. "Alright, then I guess I'll go ahead and call the police," said Zhang Wei, with a hint of melancholy in his voice. Upon reporting to the police station, given that it involved Tang Fangjing and the Ding Yongqiang case, the authorities took it very seriously! Nothing much to say here: if a crime of action isn't pursued, it's not a problem, but once you decide to hold someone responsible, you can make a case for it. The next day, Lv Zhizhang was in his hotel room playing some small games with his assistant. Don't be surprised, as a lawyer with high income, Lv Zhizhang had several assistants—some for handling cases and some specifically for managing his personal life. When a man has money, well, isn't it just those things? Lawyers are no more moral than other people, and those big names have their ways of indulgence. Going out for a case and possibly staying at a hotel for many days, it's quite normal to bring an assistant along. The likes of Old Tang are actually quite rare, almost a protected species. Just as he was having a good time, there was a knock at the door. "Who is it?" Lv Zhizhang said irritably. "Hello, we are from the Bright District police department, please open the door." Tricking someone into opening the door by posing as a hotel employee is used in scenarios where the suspect is very likely to resist; normally, just like this, they reveal their identity openly. Lv Zhizhang was immediately stunned. Why was the Bright District police department looking for him? He got dressed and opened the door, with his assistant hiding in the bathroom. As soon as the door opened, he saw several police officers standing outside, one of whom said, "Lv Zhizhang, is it? You are being criminally summoned by the Bright District Criminal Investigation Brigade on suspicion of perjury by a defense attorney. Please come with us." While opening the door, Lv Zhizhang had been racking his brain, certain he'd done nothing wrong. Solicitation of a prostitute? That was even less plausible—he and his assistant's relationship could probably be considered cohabitation... But hearing those words, he was completely dumbfounded and immediately demanded, "What? Perjury? No, you need to explain clearly how I have committed perjury. What are you talking about?" "Lv Zhizhang, as a criminal lawyer, you should be aware of the procedures. Please cooperate with us, or we will have to proceed with an enforced summons," the lead officer said emotionlessly. Even with his doubts, Lv Zhizhang could only choose to cooperate at this point. After Lv Zhizhang was taken away, the assistant finally emerged from the bathroom, a blank look in her eyes. Director Lv had been arrested, she needed to make an urgent phone call to the firm to see what they would do. Ding Deshui's wife received the call the next day; it was from Modu Law Firm. "What? Lawyer Lv has issues and someone else will come instead? There's nothing more important than my son's defense, I disagree!" It had been so hard to find a conscientious and responsible lawyer like Lv to help; how could she easily agree to a change? The law firm had no choice but to explain the situation to her. "Lawyer Lv has been arrested? What's going on now? Everything was fine just the other day; how did he get arrested!" The law firm's staff couldn't hold back and said, "Isn't it all for your precious son? That's the situation now, take it or leave it." After the call ended, Ding Deshui's wife was left in a daze. What a mess this was—court was right around the corner, and the lawyer was in jail? What should she do now? When Lv Zhizhang's arrest hit the internet, rumors started to circulate, with netizens claiming that Lv had been taken in. As the news broke out, a shockwave swept across the internet. Not too long ago, Lawyer Lv had been very active online, challenging Tang Fangjing to respond to him directly. He had even declared his intention to win an acquittal in the case. And now he had been arrested? However, his law firm quickly refuted these rumors. "Our attorney, Lv Zhizhang, is currently hospitalized due to illness. As for those rumors about his arrest on the internet, our firm will hold the people responsible accountable!" As the denial was issued, mockery ensued, with some commenting about how many times netizens had been fooled by such rumors, not knowing better than to 'let the bullets fly for a while.' How could Lawyer Lv be detained when he's been perfectly fine! The denial garnered more and more attention, and two days later, the repeatedly tagged "Safe Jingzhou" finally issued a blue-background notice. Lv Momo has been put under criminal detention! Inside the detention center, Ding Yongqiang was getting anxious. The court date was nearing, and Lawyer Lv still hadn't come to see him as he had said he would.
