Chapter 39: Lawyer Li, You Would Not Want Us to Lose Either, Would You?
The law enforcement personnel brought Su Bai and Li Xuezhen into the interrogation room.
Because Qi Feng was a major criminal offender.
The summoning required a certain amount of time.
Su Bai sat in the interrogation room and waited for a while, and he remained somewhat curious about how Li Xuezhen could possess such strong connections in Beidu.
He was curious whether it was due to her family background or because she was the final disciple of a top legal authority.
'Cough.'
After coughing lightly twice.
Su Bai turned his head to look at Li Xuezhen: "About what just happened."
"Social propriety?"
Li Xuezhen looked puzzled, and after seeing Su Bai nod, she continued:
"Lawyer Su, just now I saw someone I knew, that person was a senior alumna who had previously graduated from Nandu University of Political Science and Law, I had been in contact with her before, and since you mentioned social propriety, I went outside and sent her a message asking whether she could help, she agreed, and that is what happened."
Su Bai nodded and did not continue asking further, which allowed Li Xuezhen to feel relieved.
Soon afterward, Qi Feng was brought into the interrogation room by the relevant law enforcement personnel.
Qi Feng's complexion was very poor, and he lacked vitality, and when he saw Su Bai he forced a slight smile and sat in his seat.
"Hello, I am your entrusted lawyer, Su Bai."
Qi Feng nodded dully, with no emotional change on his face: "Hello, Lawyer Su."
"Lawyer Su, may I ask whether my parents are well?"
When mentioning his parents, a trace of brightness appeared in Qi Feng's eyes, but it quickly dimmed again.
His parents had only him as their only child.
And they were not from a wealthy family.
Thinking about their future life, Qi Feng shook his head almost imperceptibly, and his gaze became despondent.
Su Bai noticed Qi Feng's expression and nodded: "Your parents' current situation is relatively stable."
He then organized the evidentiary materials from the first instance proceedings.
"Time is limited, let us temporarily set that aside and discuss matters concerning the second instance proceedings."
The second instance proceedings?
Qi Feng felt completely hopeless: "Is there still any hope in the second instance proceedings?"
"I killed two people, so I will probably still be sentenced to death."
The corner of Su Bai's mouth rose slightly: "Who said there is no hope in this case? Whether there is hope must still be tested."
"This case was entrusted to me by Professor Luo Daxiang to take responsibility for, and your parents have paid the legal fees to entrust me as the defense lawyer in this case."
"As a lawyer, handling matters after receiving payment is my duty, so please cooperate."
Upon hearing the name Luo Daxiang.
A trace of brightness appeared in Qi Feng's eyes: "Are you really assigned by Professor Luo Daxiang to take responsibility for this case?"
"Yes."
After hearing Su Bai's confirmation, hope rose again in Qi Feng's heart.
Professor Luo Daxiang had a very high reputation in the legal commentary field and was proficient in criminal cases, and since the lawyer before him had been invited by Professor Luo Daxiang.
Perhaps.
There really was a possibility of prevailing.
Perhaps he would not be executed.
Qi Feng clenched his fists nervously, and his voice became somewhat excited:
"Alright, I will cooperate fully with your work, Lawyer Su."
Su Bai signaled Li Xuezhen to take notes.
After everything had been prepared.
Su Bai took out the evidentiary materials from his briefcase and handed them to Qi Feng:
"Please review these and see whether there are any problems with the above evidence."
"If there are any problems, you may raise them directly."
"Alright."
Qi Feng received the evidentiary materials and examined them carefully and repeatedly, and finally shook his head: "There are no problems with these evidentiary materials."
"Do you have anything to supplement regarding your arguments and statements during the first instance proceedings?"
"No, do I need to provide anything?"
Su Bai slightly moved the corner of his mouth:
"No, you only need to follow your normal needs."
"Then that means there is nothing."
"Alright, our law firm has already understood your requests and issues."
After speaking, Su Bai stood up: "Thank you for your cooperation this time, we will meet again at the trial, please remember the content of today's conversation."
Qi Feng was stunned for a moment, was that all.
Was it sufficient to ask only a few simple questions.
This gave him a somewhat unreliable impression.
Qi Feng stood up in confusion and said: "Thank you, Lawyer Su, see you at the trial."
"Alright, you are welcome, goodbye."
Su Bai revealed a slight smile and walked directly out of the interrogation room.
Li Xuezhen followed quickly, and only after leaving the detention center did she ask with confusion:
"Lawyer Su, were our questions somewhat too simple?"
Too simple?
In a public prosecution capital punishment case, the evidence and testimony had already largely been determined by the prosecution, and if one still attempted to overturn the evidence and testimony, that would be unrealistic.
In this case.
The key point lay in the interpretation of legal provisions by the Presiding Judge and the members of the collegiate bench.
It was impossible to overturn the case through evidence.
One only needed to conduct the defense directly through legal provisions during the trial.
"What needed to be asked has already been asked, and continuing further questioning would have little meaning, let us go."
"I understand, Lawyer Su."
Li Xuezhen's face was filled with trust.
Su Bai quickly drafted the litigation submission for this case and submitted it to the Beidu Higher People's Court.
The Beidu Higher People's Court quickly accepted the case and determined the trial schedule and the relevant trial personnel.
~~~~~
Inside the hotel.
Su Bai called Li Xuezhen to his room.
'Cough cough.'
Su Bai coughed lightly twice: "Lawyer Li, do you wish to maintain a one hundred percent success record across three cases?"
Li Xuezhen's expression became serious and her voice firm: "Yes."
"Then go and investigate the preferences and personality of the Presiding Judge."
Su Bai waved his hand and handed the Presiding Judge's information to Li Xuezhen.
After seeing the information, Li Xuezhen was slightly surprised.
"Lawyer Su, regarding this matter."
Seeing that Li Xuezhen was still hesitating, Su Bai used another method of persuasion.
"Lawyer Li, do you not wish to maintain your undefeated record?"
"Consider that if we lose this case, what kind of difficulties our law firm will face, and if our law firm encounters problems, how greatly you as a prospective partner will be affected, have you considered these matters?"
"This."
"Do you still wish to become a partner of Baijun law Firm? Do not hesitate, this is not any illegal conduct, it is merely ordinary inquiry, and we are not giving any gifts."
Su Bai persuaded her patiently.
"Alright, I understand, Lawyer Su."
Li Xuezhen's expression became serious.
After seeing that Li Xuezhen had agreed, Su Bai felt much more at ease.
This Presiding Judge.
Had some connection with Li Xuezhen's teacher.
This was also the reason why Su Bai had not directly asked Luo Daxiang but instead chose to let Li Xuezhen conduct the inquiry.
After all.
Outsiders only knew superficial matters, whereas those with closer relationships understood deeper matters.
Understanding the Presiding Judge's personality characteristics would also allow better performance in the proceedings.
