Room 302, Husky Hostel.
The situation is very good, not just slightly good.
Wang Daan was a little worried. Although he didn't dare to think about it, what if he really defeated Liu Hanming
Judging from the situation in the court these days, this situation is not impossible to happen, and it is likely to happen.
Thinking of this, Wang Da'an did not feel happy at all, but shuddered.
Liu Hanming's lawyer assessment score was 2697, just 3 points away from the fourth stage, or 2700 points required for senior lawyers.
There is less than a month left until the annual summer lawyer examination.
Originally, Liu Hanming chose to be an external prosecutor to fight a case involving a homeless suspect whose identity was unknown. He would definitely get at least 10 points, and in the summer, he would be officially promoted to become the first senior lawyer in the history of Beiguan.
In fact, even in the East China Sea, there are not many Chinese lawyers at the fourth level, and the fifth level super lawyers are basically the ceiling for Chinese people in the legal field.
But if he loses the lawsuit, Liu Hanming will not deduct 10 points, but will calculate 10% of the assessment score. If it is less than 10, 10 points will be deducted, and if it is greater than 10, 10% of the assessment score will be deducted.
Ten percent of Liu Hanming's assessment score is 269.7 points, but a maximum of 100 points can be deducted during the three-stage lawyer stage.
Even so, Liu Hanming couldn't make up for those points in such a short time.
Even if there will be weighted bonus points in the summer annual assessment, he will not be given as much as 100 points.
In other words, if he loses this lawsuit, Liu Hanming's promotion to the fourth-level lawyer this year will be wasted.
Originally, it was a done deal. I heard from acquaintances in the legal field that Liu Hanming had already booked more than a hundred tables at the Mingjia Entertainment Hotel. He would not only entertain relatives and friends, but also celebrities in the legal community in Beiguan, all of whom would receive invitations.
After all, this is the first time in the history of the Beiguan legal community.
But what if my partner messes it up
Wang Da'an looked at Lu Ming and shuddered again, not daring to think about it.
Lu Ming flipped through the files.
Chen Qinghua was not here, as he was busy with the tasks assigned by Lu Ming.
Li Mingxuan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the street scene outside, wondering what he was thinking.
"Qianxing, would you like to chat for a minute?" Wang Daan came to Lu Ming's side.
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door of the room. Big Head looked out through the peephole and opened the door.
The person who came was Cao Guan’s apprentice and assistant—Zhang Jingjing.
"Lawyer Lu, I didn't make an appointment in advance. Do you have time?" Zhang Jingjing was carrying a large briefcase, which seemed a little inconsistent with her petite figure.
"Come on, come in! Let's talk inside!" Lu Ming pointed to the tea room in the suite, which also served as a reception room.
Zhang Jingjing wore black-framed glasses, looking very intellectual. She followed Lu Ming into the tea room, sat down, and said, "My master, Attorney Liu Hanming, has taken an overnight train to his hometown, Xinjingzhou, because of an emergency at home."
Lu Ming nodded.
"So, I'm here to discuss a plea agreement with you. Don't rush to refuse. Take a look at my conditions." As she spoke, Zhang Jingjing took out a piece of paper from her briefcase.
Zhang Jingjing had a helpless look on her face. She never expected that her master would be so desperate as to resort to such a method to escape.
However, if you think about the master's situation, you can understand it.
The master did not sleep all night last night. He still felt unsure. If he lost the lawsuit, he would go from being the most respected legal authority in Beiguan to the biggest laughing stock.
Noticing that Lu Ming was looking at the paper without any emotion, Zhang Jingjing said, "Our expert witness can prove that Mr. Li Si has a mental illness, so everything you do may be in vain. Moreover, if you insist on fighting, if I were to fight, I would first find various reasons to apply for an extension, and then carefully investigate your and Mr. Li Si's background. You and Mr. Li Si know each other, right? If I can find any clues that Mr. Li Si is a fugitive, you will lose."
Lu Ming looked at Zhang Jingjing in surprise. He was not afraid of investigating his and Li Mingxuan's backgrounds. The empire was so big, how could they find out? He even deliberately added a Hanzhou accent, and Li Mingxuan did the same, with his accent completely changed.
But this little girl has a really good idea, which is quite interesting.
Looking at the plea agreement on the paper, Li Mingxuan pleaded guilty, but because it was a crime of passion caused by a mental disorder, he would be sent to a mental hospital for diagnosis and treatment. When his condition improves, he would be allowed to be discharged from the hospital for treatment.
"This condition is also in the best interests of your client, right?" Zhang Jingjing asked.
Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, "I think Mr. Li Haoran has a temporary mental disorder."
Zhang Jingjing was stunned: "Temporary mental disorder?"
"Yes, now his spirits have improved, and I hope that after a simple diagnosis, he can be set free."
Zhang Jingjing gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I agree! I will redraft the plea agreement right away."
Lu Ming nodded and looked at the petite lawyer. Unexpectedly, she was very decisive. He thought she was going to ask her master for advice.
In fact, Liu Hanming must have agreed. In court, his side already had a great advantage. As long as his side pleaded guilty, what did it matter whether the suspect was immediately freed? His main goal was to keep his points. Within this month, he could take on another small case and successfully upgrade his rank, or he could just wait for the assessment to increase his points.
…
When Zhang Jingjing left, she even bowed to Lu Ming to express her gratitude. Before Lu Ming and Li Mingxuan signed the contract, she did not show her true mental state. When it was time to bluff, she would never give in. She was a qualified lawyer.
"Thank you..." Li Mingxuan let out a long breath. He fully understood that although this case seemed to have the upper hand, anything could happen if the fight continued.
Wang Da'an couldn't stop smiling, "Qianxing, you did the right thing, you did the right thing!" He patted Lu Ming's shoulder, feeling very pleased.
Lu Ming didn't say anything. He held the coffee, stood in front of the window, and silently looked at the night view outside.
The current result is undoubtedly a happy ending for everyone.
For me, it is really in the best interests of the parties involved.
If he insisted on proving Li Mingxuan's innocence, then Li Mingxuan would be in trouble in the end.
Because once Li Mingxuan is acquitted, the police will continue to track down the real murderer.
Some people might be angry about this.
Instead, Li Mingxuan pleaded guilty and was set free.
Those who had disfigured him and were ready to kill him.
The mastermind behind this should stop from now on.
Because the mastermind behind this is most likely the real murderer.
In other words, Li Xiaoyan's husband, Liu Shoucheng, the second largest shareholder of Mingjia Entertainment, may be the real murderer. According to Lao Gui's investigation, he went to Jincheng Hotel that night.
But in fact, he couldn't be sure either. Li Xiaoyan's nominal cousin, Du Laifu, might also be the murderer.
Even more, did Li Mingxuan really hit Li Xiaoyan multiple times and kill her
I can't be 100% sure about these.
It is not my responsibility to identify the real murderer.
You just need to follow the chain of evidence and strive for the best interests for the client. The prosecution does not have sufficient evidence, so even if they let the real murderer go, it is their responsibility.
From a technical point of view, he had won a resounding victory. People in the Beiguan legal community would soon know that Liu Hanming, the renowned overlord of the Beiguan legal community, had lost technically to a more talented young lawyer.
It won't be long before the name Lu Qianxing becomes a well-known young talent in the Beiguan legal community.
But I couldn't be happy.
Who will help Li Xiaoyan fight for her interests
If it were in the previous life, he would definitely continue to beat Li Mingxuan and exonerate him, so that the police would have no excuse to close the case. Even if the case is temporarily unsolved, the truth may come out in the future.
But in this world, I can't, I really can't.
Given Liu Hanming's current situation, he must defeat him in court, deduct his points, and turn him into the biggest laughing stock in Beiguan's legal community.
Then, I will invite his most brutal revenge, and by that time, it will be a life-and-death feud. Even Liu Laocai, who is always watching the fun, may not be willing to stand on my side, let alone others.
His current situation does not allow him to come to the East China Sea and immediately create a powerful enemy.
I really hope I can live the life I want!
Lu Ming looked at the dim street lights outside the window and let out a light breath.
