A bunch of people in Grandry. Vertex 23S. Fastest update First, Lola’s gang of teenagers. Use it as a reason to discuss what everyone will wear when school starts tomorrow. Never mind, Mrs. Barton was finally instigated to rebel, this is just Se.
Sibella and a bunch of wizards. Impatiently, I stood in a row on the back porch, waiting for Zach. Let’s not talk about them. Anyway, they would take the initiative to find Zach.
lawyer. A lawyer who has seen both sides of the court. Yes, those are the lawyers who sued Grande’s family. This guy who is the plaintiff's attorney shouldn't be at Grande's. Zach received him first, which was kind of a kindness, so that this guy could leave early.
"In the next court hearing, we will summon witnesses and surveillance in the Port Massa warehouse area. This will prove that the only people who know where the remains of my client's relatives are stored are my client, the warehouse rental staff, and Grande. With a simple After the profit motive is eliminated as the suspicion of the warehouse, this evidence will prove that the person who lost the body was Grande who was unwilling to undertake the funeral arrangements." The lawyer probably also wanted to leave early, his voice was tight and direct.
Zach raised his eyebrows, "So now Grande doesn't want to accept the funeral entrusted by your client, so he deliberately lost the body?" Forget it, let's file a lawsuit and leave it to his lawyer to say the rebuttal in court. No need. Here, I told the lawyer across from me, "Wouldn't this prove that your client stole a critically ill relative from the hospital?"
Zach was well aware of the dilemma faced by the relatives who sued Grande. Speaking of Grande's current lawsuit, if Zach hadn't known that the other side of the family was being held hostage by the hospital's organ sharing system, he wouldn't have listened to his lawyer's advice and stayed with them.
The lawyer looked at Zach, "Your lawyer said that you are very aware of my client's situation. You seem to be more interested in my client's situation than worrying about Grande's own situation. It seems to be true." The lawyer sighed. He sounded a little more relaxed and said, "When my client came to Grande to discuss the funeral, the hospital's lawyers and even the police were there. Grande had the motive to avoid trouble and refuse the funeral."
Zach snorted with a chuckle, "It's true."
The lawyer took a deep breath to adjust his emotions and become serious again, "Back to what you just said. You said that this evidence would confirm my client's 'stealing' behavior. After all, the people in the hospital did not know that my client wanted to move his relatives. "Looking at Zach, he said more seriously, "This is my purpose. If we occupy this evidence first to deal with the lawsuit with Grande, then this evidence will not be used in the prosecution against my client in the hospital."
"Is this possible?" Zach was really surprised. Is the current legal system so easy to take advantage of
"It's not that simple. My client turned around and attacked Grande when he was being sued by the hospital..." He paused, "I hope you don't take the metaphorical attack seriously. It's just a strategy, it's my suggestion. Because I can only use this method to prevent the hospital from collecting evidence that my client has 'stealed' institutional property."
Zach seemed to understand a little bit, "The way you prevent it is to put the evidence into the judicial system first and use the lawsuit with Grande to withhold it. In name, it is to protect the evidence from being destroyed by a third party, but in fact you want to block attempts to obtain it. The hospital side of the evidence.”
"Yes, the nature of the two lawsuits is different. Grande's is a civil lawsuit." Looking at Zach, "It's just a dissatisfied customer complaining that a merchant did not provide him with the service he should have provided." This wave of summary Yes, the lawyer continued, "What the hospital did to my client is criminal. My client violated existing laws."
Zach looked at the lawyer and said, "Are you taking advantage of the handover process between the two judicial systems to delay the hospital's progress in obtaining evidence?"
"You understood quickly." It was a compliment. "And you are right. I wanted to stop it but couldn't. I could only delay it. I am a person in the judicial system. I know how powerful my system is..." I left it out. He said, "Slow down. And I have some cases from the central government for reference. This is the only way to help my client."
Zach remembered that Grande’s lawyer also told Zach that several such incidents had occurred in the central region. Zach thinks that there is a mind-reading person in the middle named Kozier as the manipulator, so it’s okay to refer to it. Oh, you can just copy it, as long as Grande can do it, then
Zach: "You already know Grande will cooperate." Zach smiled, "Grande can't lose anyway, and I am also happy to help your client challenge the abused organ donation system. What do you need? Just say it directly, Grande can help, I will try my best."
The lawyer also looked at Zach again, moved the corner of his mouth, seemed to suppress some instinctive words, and then adjusted his breathing, "Okay. Once we use the evidence I just mentioned, my client will violate the law against his relatives." He was taken out of the hospital..." He didn't say stealing, respectable~ "It has become a fact. It's up to you how to use this fact."
"Explain." Zach gestured.
"If Grande's lawyer is only used for defense and uses this evidence to explain that Grande did not lose the body, then our lawsuit will only continue to drag on. Returning to the round of most civil disputes, you If the judge is free, we can drag it out for a year."
Zach heard it, "You couldn't delay the criminal prosecution for a year. Once the evidence was disclosed in court, it became a public resource and no longer enjoyed the judicial evidence protection process. The hospital's lawyers could call it at any time." ." Zach looked at the lawyer opposite, "You don't want Grande to just be defensive?"
"Yes, I want you to attack."
Zach raised his eyebrows, "How is Grand going to attack? We are the defendant's merchants." Zach used the other party's summary just now, "You sued us for losing the body and asked for compensation. We sued you for unreasonable trouble and will be punished for life." Not allowed to enjoy funeral services?" Ha, ha, ha.
The corner of the lawyer's eye twitched as he caught the hint of laughter. He pursed his lips and said seriously, "It's not this kind of attack. It's questioning the evidence we provided and attacking the weapons we used."
Zach tilted his head and said, "Please continue."
"Invalidating evidence is a common attack method in court. Sometimes it is to destroy the credibility of the evidence, and sometimes it is to divert the proving trend of the evidence. The purpose is to make the evidence separate from the case itself and no longer serve as an argument to advance the case. ." The lawyer looked at Zach, "What I'm talking about here is the latter. I want you, Grande, to complete the transfer of this evidence."
Zach realized something again, "You said leading evidence? Is this to make the hospital lose the possibility of using this evidence?"
"You can say that." The lawyer nodded, with surprise in his eyes, as if he was surprised that Zach followed so closely, "The evidence we provided can prove that only three parties know where the remains of my client's relatives are stored. My client, Warehouse rental staff, you Grande." Looking at Zach.
Zach waited for a while. He had already heard this sentence once before, and he didn't know the purpose of the other person repeating it...
"Wait a minute." Zach looked at the other person, "You mean the body."
"Yes." Looking at Zach, "Honestly, I was shocked by your ability to deal with things and understand. Most of the opposing parties avoided me when they saw me, but here you completely understood what I was expressing. "It feels like this lawyer is about to fall in love with Zach," I just thought in my mind, how long will it take you to realize what I hinted at. The result was much faster than I expected. I only said it twice and you will Found."
"Thank you." As always, if someone compliments you, just accept it. We can always count on Zach. Next, follow up, "Your client hid the hospital and took his relatives out of the hospital." Zach looked at the lawyer, "At that time, the person was still alive."
The lawyer also looked at Zach. After sizing up his eyes, he never left Zach. "Yes, people who rely on machines to survive will not die immediately after leaving the machine. There is still a process." He raised two hands, one with the other. He raised one finger and placed it on both sides of the body, "Hospital, people are alive." Left hand, "Warehouse in Port Massa, people are dead." Right hand, "Become the body that needs Grande to appear." Put the two hands together, " Whether alive or dead, there is no second, third, or fourth person responsible for the process in between. Only my client is fully responsible."
Zach, looking at the other person's two fingers that were intertwined, there was an inexplicable smile at the corner of his mouth, "Do you want Grande to tell you that your client is a murderer?"
"I am." The lawyer, oh, same as above, never took his eyes off Zach, "My client and I can't say this conclusion. Only you can say it's an attack."
Zach narrowed his eyes, enjoying the progress of this incident, a bit like Toledo, isn't it, "You said before about redirecting the evidence. This is your purpose. The evidence of Grande's missing body has not yet been The evidence that was taken away by the hospital and used as evidence of your client's theft became evidence of murder. As the fourth party, the police were successfully introduced by you, and the nature of the entire incident changed instantly. All the evidence and evidence obtained by the hospital in order to target your client Resources will become a higher priority and police will redirect them to new murder investigations and even new criminal prosecutions."
"Are you really just a funeral business owner?" The lawyer asked a very 'accurate' question that had nothing to do with the topic.
"What else can I be~" Zach spread his hands and looked at the other party with interest, "Does your client allow you to ruin their lives like this?"
Oh, theft turned into murder~
"I can use negligence to defend my client. Especially now that the hospital deliberately concealed the consequences of organ donation, I can use this as an argument to attack the hospital for not giving the correct medical conclusion, which led to my client not understanding how to take away his loved ones. It will lead to the death of loved ones." Looking at Zach, "This is my specialty, you don't need to worry."
Zach raised both eyebrows and looked at the other party, "You can let your client walk out of this situation completely blameless~~"
The lawyer didn't understand whether Zach's words were a question or a conclusion, "I think I can." He replied.
"What's your name?" Zach asked.
"You don't remember my name?" The corner of the lawyer's eye twitched. He finally passed the confrontation in court. How about some respect
"Ha...Harvey." Zach tried to remember, "Lawyer Harvey!"
The lawyer looked away from Zach for the first time, but at least nodded, and Zach remembered correctly.
Of course Zach knew that this was his fault and smiled, "You don't have to blame me for not paying attention to this matter. Grande will not lose. This was determined from the beginning."
Lawyer Harvey pursed his lips, but nodded, and looked at Zach again, "So are you willing to cooperate with us and help a civilian who does not want to cooperate with the abused (organ donation) system and resist?"
Zach nodded and picked up the phone, "I'm going to call Grande's lawyer now and tell him..." Zach's dialing hand stopped in mid-air, as if he finally remembered something, he looked at Harvey, "Say Get up, why did you come to Grande? Shouldn't you go find him for this kind of 'deal'?"
Harvey looked at Zach's hand in mid-air, hesitantly, pursed his lips, and looked up at Zach, "It's only now that you realize that your lawyer should talk to me about these things. You only realize now that you The perfect handling and understanding here are all because your lawyer did not do his job. This should be his job."
"You don't have to be so serious." Zach heard a hint of contempt in Harvey's words, the kind he felt towards his peers. Unfortunately, the object of Harvey's contempt was Grande's friend. "It's just because he and I are well aware of this lawsuit, so." Zach put down the receiver.
Harvey sighed again, "Before I came to you, I called him, and he told me to come to you directly."
Zach tilted his head, now he could only show that he didn't care.
"Forget it, now I just want to thank you for being so..." He tilted his mouth and said, "Okay. This conversation went very well." He quickly glanced at Zach, thinking of saying goodbye, and prepared to stand up, "But before leaving, Let me remind you, your lawyer, don’t go to him in the future. Don’t allow people around you to relax and take advantage of you just because you are ‘strong’ yourself.”
Zach watched Harvey stand up and blinked, "We are old acquaintances." Zach just didn't want his lawyer to be despised.
"Then let's meet some new people." This Harvey was really rude and nodded to Zach, "Goodbye."
Zach watched the other party leave, tilted his head, thought for a while, and then picked up the phone. No matter what happens, you have to tell your lawyer about this conversation, right? Just ask what's going on. In Zach's impression, this gray-professional lawyer is quite prestigious in the industry. Why is he so looked down upon...
While waiting for the call, Sibella floated to the office door like a republican ghost and said simply, "Are you going to treat us to lunch?"
Zach looked at the time and realized it was almost time, so he said, "It just so happens that Alice is at home~" Alice's cooking skills are quality assurance, which is enough to compensate for Sibella's waiting.
"Huh." Sibella floated down again.
The call went through. I won’t go into the repetitive content. At the end, Zach asked, "Does this Harvey have any issues with you?"
He replied, "Yes! That guy has a problem with everyone! Especially those of us who are hugging Bishop's lap now!"
Remember, Bishop is assembling a new legal team.
"Why?"
"Oh, he defends civilians who resist the system and serves as a lawyer for civilians who play with fire, what do you think~"
Oh, that’s it, the old-fashioned kind, the angry young man.
Okay, last question, "How did you get him to come directly to me?"
"Because I listened to your suggestion and was busy hugging Bishop's thigh~ Hey, I told you or ah, Bishop sent a case, you should know, hehe, it's super funny, hey, listen. Ah, the owner of a small bar that the police from the North District Police Station frequented was stabbed to death~ The case was solved very quickly, and the evidence was all available. Hey, your detective friend, that Lance, is really good~ But, that is The work of the police, haha, here’s what’s so funny~ The District Attorney’s Office found the murderer negligent because of his extreme cooperation, and sentenced him to home invasion robbery…”
commit a sin.
Damn it, Zach could foresee James's outburst when he came back. Forget it, let's get through lunch first and think about James later.
