My Wife is a Counsel

Chapter 31: Fallen people

Views:

In the corridor outside Ward No. 6 of Renxin Hospital, Lu Ming was sitting on a bench, with Wang Daan standing next to him, giving him earnest advice.

"Qianxing, you must listen to me this time and stop causing trouble. You are not really trying to find a way to defeat Liu Hanming, are you?" Wang Da'an looked at Lu Ming suspiciously.

When he heard that Li Si was released on medical parole and that Director Li of the detention center called him and got very angry, Wang Da'an hurried to the hospital.

Looking at his young partner, Wang Daan sighed inwardly, thinking that he was still too young.

Liu Hanming's assessment score was 2697 points, which might be like a ginseng fruit in the eyes of this ambitious young man, full of temptation.

After all, if he could win him fairly in court once, he would get 10 percent of the points, which is nearly 270 points.

The upper limit is also 100 points.

Because lawyers confront each other in court, the weight of the assessment score is calculated as 10 points or 10% of the assessment score, whichever is the greater.

However, at the defense attorney stage, that is, lawyers from paragraph one to paragraph three, if the profit or loss score of a lawsuit exceeds 100 points, 100 points will be given.

A test score of 100 is an astronomical figure for a junior defense lawyer.

But the problem is that reality will make this young partner suffer a lot. In Beiguan, Liu Hanming is an insurmountable mountain. 2697 points is the terrifying part of his impressive record.

In particular, Liu Hanming will be promoted to the fourth-level senior lawyer this summer, and will have the power to take on lawsuits in any region of the empire.

They are not on the same level as the lawyers in Beiguan.

Facing such an opponent, the fact that you have the opportunity to fight him is already a rare learning opportunity. If you have more delusions, it will not only appear that you are overestimating your own abilities, but it will also make it easier for you to be ruined in this circle.

"Qianxing, you promise me that you won't offend Liu Hanming's firm again, okay?" Wang Da'an said solemnly.

Lu Ming smiled. At this moment, the door clicked and Chen Qinghua came out. He handed Lu Ming a few pages of paper and said, "Lu Bian, take a look."

It is a record of Chen Qinghua questioning Li Mingxuan.

Lu Ming took a look and nodded. "Okay, you go inform the prosecutors. We will apply to the court to invalidate Li Mingxuan's confession at the police station because he was mentally unstable at the time. You will provide a copy of this record to the prosecutors." He paused. "They understand. If they disagree, I will definitely apply for a physical examination and appeal that the first confession was obtained through torture."

He turned to Wang Daan and smiled, "Go to court with dignity."

Wang Daan looked at him helplessly and sighed deeply. Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, he could only wish for the best.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "I'll go see the person involved." He stood up and pushed the door open to enter the ward.

Wang Da'an looked out the window for a while, shook his head, and turned away.

In the single room, Li Mingxuan was lying on the bed in his hospital gown. When he saw Lu Ming coming in, his cloudy eyes suddenly became more lively. He stared at Lu Ming and said, "A private hospital must cost a lot of money, right?"

Lu Ming paced back and forth and suddenly said, "There is a key issue, which is your identity. If you cannot provide a clear background, then everything you say will lose credibility, and your behavior of changing your confession will lose the trust of the jury. The prosecutor will definitely mention this point. Even if I can justify your behavior of changing your confession in court, the prosecutor will not fail to hint to the jury that you have confessed to the crime. If you do not have a clear background, then the prosecutor will definitely go further and mention the possibility that you are a fugitive."

The confession that Li Mingxuan just recorded with Chen Qinghua mainly focused on his relationship with Liu's second concubine.

According to the latest confession he provided, the course of events was completely different. The second concubine's car almost hit him on the street. Then the second concubine, who knew many people, should have discovered that this lame beggar would be a handsome young man if he washed himself, so she took him in as her permanent follower.

On the day of the crime, the second concubine was in the hotel. When she failed to seduce Li Mingxuan, she tried to force him.

She was about 1.78 meters tall and weighed more than 200 kilograms. Li Mingxuan, who had a lame leg, stood in front of her like a little chicken. In a panic, he picked up a sculpture on the table and hit the second concubine on the head hard. After knocking the second concubine to the ground, he quickly fled the hotel and returned to a small apartment rented for him by the second concubine.

Then, the police came to arrest him, and some valuable gifts given by his second concubine in his small apartment became evidence of robbery.

In particular, the second concubine once gave him a beloved jade pendant, and many people could prove that the jade pendant was a personal ornament of the second concubine.

According to the police investigation, at the scene of the crime, the second concubine was killed by being hit on the head with a heavy object. The murder weapon was the iron flying eagle sculpture on the bedside table in the guest room.

But Li Mingxuan insisted that when he left, he saw the second concubine struggling to get up and she was definitely not dead.

Not to mention, he was capable of rape, robbery and murder.

But even according to Li Mingxuan's new confession, it seems that he was the one who beat the second concubine to death.

At most, it was an accidental killing, not intentional homicide, and there was no intention of rape or robbery.

And there is another problem. Li Mingxuan's background is not clear. The local jurors will definitely assume that he is an outsider criminal or a fugitive. In addition, the prosecutor is Liu Hanming, the ceiling of Beiguan lawyers, so it is easy for him to lead the jurors in this direction.

Looking at the thick white gauze on Li Mingxuan's face, which was originally dirty but has now been replaced with new ones, the doctor said that he had many cuts on his face and his face would be considered disfigured.

According to Li Mingxuan, he was in the detention center and was done by the prisoners there.

In this case, it is not convincing at all to say that the second concubine fell in love with Li Mingxuan and that Li Mingxuan is a gigolo.

Those criminals were probably ordered to torture Li Mingxuan. Their original intention was not to destroy the relationship between the Second Concubine and Li Mingxuan, but they inadvertently destroyed one of their own debate points.

In this case, let alone finding the defendant innocent, there is no hope even if the defendant accidentally kills someone.

At least, that's what the evidence suggests so far.

"Xiao Chen told me some information from the prosecution. I thought about it from the beginning. It's difficult to charge for manslaughter, right?" Li Mingxuan looked at Lu Ming.

Lu Ming didn't comment, "Tell me, how did you get here?"

"Same as you, why did you come here?" Li Mingxuan laughed at himself, "However, the money I brought with me was lost on the road. I'm a cripple with no money, what can I do? Originally, it's not bad to hang out with the homeless." After laughing twice, Li Mingxuan closed his eyes, "You don't have to pretend, I've told you everything I know, so just give me a quick death. You just want to drag out a hopeless lawsuit to trick me. Don't worry, I'm not hiding anything from you. Although I hate you, I hate them more. I may be entangled until I die. Do I hope you succeed in revenge, or do I hope you die in their hands? Perhaps, what I want to see most is that you die together and go to hell together!"

As he said this, Li Mingxuan smiled, a miserable smile.

According to Li Mingxuan, the report call to Zhao Jinsong, which was the call reporting that there were bodies in the trunk of Lu Ming and Zhen's car, came from a hotel in Wuan.

He checked the hotel's registration records and asked the hotel waiters about the time of the call and whether they noticed which guest used the hotel bar phone.

Before he could find any clues, his house caught fire for unknown reasons. It was also the day when a conflict broke out between the two brigade commanders entrenched near Wu'an.

All his family members were killed, and even he was kidnapped by two big men in military uniforms. They interrogated him and asked him whether he knew his whereabouts and whether he had taken their money and deliberately lost the lawsuit.

He suffered a lot of torture and his legs were broken, but he really didn't know where he went and couldn't explain anything.

Later, taking advantage of the two big men's laxity, he secretly broke free from his ropes and escaped. He went to the outer house to get life-saving money and hid in the wild for a long time. Then he changed his route, took a southbound train, and finally came to Donghai.

Because we went straight all the way, we arrived several months earlier than me.

He probably didn't hide anything, this is all he knew.

Looking at Li Mingxuan's miserable smile, Lu Ming sat quietly for a while, then stood up and walked out.
