Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 501: Chapter 363: Xu Liang Smiles, Life and Death Uncertain!

Did we win the case or not!

Su Yu, who was by the side, couldn’t resist speaking out, looking at Xu Liang, her face full of unspoken words, finally taking a deep breath, she said:

"But, senior brother..."

"During the first trial, we presented evidence relating to mental illness, and with a seven-day recess, the court could fully verify it."

"Next time in court, the contentious points from last time will completely disappear, and if you don’t appear in court..."

Not appearing in court means there are no points of contention.

Without points of contention, the judge can naturally render a verdict, in other words...

The first trial will be a loss!

Yang Ruoxi next to him remained silent, indicating acceptance.

Although she occasionally acted tough, she had a certain awareness of her own capabilities.

During the first trial, Prosecutor Huang Ren from the prosecution, his reaction ability and professional competence, even finding obtuse angles of thinking, were something she couldn’t handle!

Xu Liang not appearing... is very likely to lose!

"But there’s a second trial."

Xu Liang said.

"If the first trial is lost, there can still be a second trial, and if the second trial is lost, we can still appeal!"

The law provides two opportunities, and if the appeal is included, there are three opportunities.

These three opportunities aren’t about reducing punishment by complaining, but holding onto them requires...

"Evidence!"

"The court only looks at evidence!"

"Without evidence, even if I show up in the first trial, the best outcome would just be clinging to the points of contention and then stepping into another recess."

Xu Liang spoke solemnly.

The three chances actually make no difference, it’s just moving to a higher-level court, in other words, as long as you have solid evidence, you can overturn the case anytime.

So...

"The first trial? The outcome doesn’t matter."

"Winning or losing doesn’t matter."

Xu Liang slowly explained.

As the words settled, the car fell silent, Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu stared at Xu Liang, wanting to speak but unable to say a word for a moment.

Suing, the verdict outcome isn’t important...

Is this really something a lawyer would say!?

But upon closer reflection... it seems to make sense, as the verdict outcome is influenced by evidence, naturally whoever holds the evidence can rewrite the result.

"Therefore..."

"Let’s play a little trick on them."

Xu Liang smiled slyly, then leaned towards the two women, whispering instructions of the next steps.

After a while.

Xu Liang finally straightened up, turned the key, the engine roared, and the car slowly left Rose District.

As for the remaining six days of recess, what will Xu Liang do...

The answer is nothing!

....

....

The next day.

September 12th.

Inside the Hanhai City Intermediate People’s Procuratorate.

"Group Leader Huang is indeed steady, no wonder he reached the position of group leader at around thirty. If it were me, I might have started cursing by now."

"The future will depend on the young talents of the Fourth Group, we’re all getting old..."

"Why is Prosecutor Huang blushing? Is it too hot?"

"Why is he turning yellow again?"

"..."

Inside the procuratorate.

Several group leaders from the First and Second Groups were casually chatting in the office.

Beside them sat Huang Ren, holding a pile of documents.

If approached and examined closely... it would be discovered that these documents are all reports on mental and psychological assessments of individuals!

As for who is being assessed... naturally, it’s the defendant Lv Xiong.

"Speaking of mental illness and psychological disorders... how should they be judged?"

The leader of the First Group leaned towards Huang Ren, asking with interest.

Cases related to mental illness... not saying he hasn’t encountered them, but they are few.

As for psychological disorders... he hasn’t encountered them at all!

"Won’t they be judged in accordance with mental illness?" The leader of the Second Group asked with concern.

These days, the management laws regarding mental illness aren’t detailed, they could even be said to be rough.

If the judge isn’t professional, they might truly reduce the sentence according to the mental illness-related laws!

"No!"

Huang Ren instinctively replied.

"Lv Xiong committed murder under his own subjective consciousness and cannot escape legal punishment."

"While psychological disorders can reduce legal penalties... he absolutely must bear criminal responsibility!"

Hearing this, the two prosecutors beside him laughed.

"Prosecutor Huang finally spoke up." The leader of the First Group joked.

Since the end of the first trial, Huang Ren had barely spoken, dedicating all his time to verifying the contentious points introduced by Xu Liang during the first trial.

In just two days, Huang Ren looked as if he hadn’t had a good few months’ sleep!

As for the reason... the two of them could fully understand.

As prosecutors, the most annoying thing is a stubborn lawyer, also referred to as a litigant stick!

The thing they’re most fond of is refuting with objective evidence.

Which point does Xu Liang fall under?

When he forcibly added a law regarding mental issues for Lv Xiong, there’s no need to guess this aspect.

"Oh, this person..."

As Huang Ren opened his mouth, his inner bitterness seemed to find a release, and he began to complain bitterly.

"Where did this person learn the law?"

"Using thiabendazole to introduce mental side effects, then extending to mental illness..."

Thiabendazole is drug use.

But not drug trafficking!

The punishment for drug use is low, sometimes only requiring a few days of detention.

But ordinary people also feel disgusted by these individuals, once exposed it’s essentially social death, but yet...

Xu Liang uses this law to counter the murder law!

Huang Ren has never seen a lawyer so openly claiming the client uses prohibited substances...

"Look on the bright side."

"At least Lv Xiong doesn’t qualify as mentally ill, right."

The two group leaders patted Huang Ren on the shoulder, comforting him.

"There’s five days until the next trial, are you confident?" The leader of the Second Group asked.

Huang Ren pondered for a moment, taking a deep breath.

"A bit confident."

He could ensure that he organized all the contentious points from the first trial within the next few days.

As long as Xu Liang doesn’t bring up a new theory when the trial commences... he can completely win!

However...

The premise is that during the trial, the defendant Xu Liang really uses last time’s theory!

"Will he?"

Huang Ren hesitated, he capped the pen in his hand, crossing both hands as his brows gradually furrowed, lost in thought.

Various reactions Xu Liang might show during the next trial floated through his mind.

Continue proving mental illness?

If not, did he find other angles to absolve Lv Xiong of the crime?

If so, what angle could it be? Focused on accidental death? Indeed, it is a vague law...

The two group leaders beside him discussed together.

But unfortunately, faced with a lawyer with a very abstract thought process, they naturally didn’t dare predict the person’s moves.

Finally, they spoke:

"Don’t worry, Prosecutor Huang, this kid, no matter what, is just a lawyer, he won’t act recklessly!"

Huang Ren didn’t speak, just pondered.

After a long time, he reluctantly sighed, self-mockingly said:

"Gee, no wonder when taking the case you all ran faster than one another..."

Before taking the case, Huang Ren had heard of Xu Liang’s reputation.

Xu Liang winning a case meant he was a lawyer who liked to find evidence!

Huang Ren preferred dealing with lawyers who spoke with evidence.

So when Director Sun assigned the case, he took it without thinking, wondering why the First Group, Second Group, and Third Group weren’t competing strongly, until Xu Liang claimed mental illness in court...

"Oh, what are you talking about? I was just giving the case to young people..."

The leader of the Second Group spoke, feeling somewhat guilty.

The leader of the First Group spoke seriously:

"Prosecutor Huang, don’t worry, that lawyer indeed likes to use evidence in lawsuits, plus the case’s public opinion isn’t favorable for him, he might hold back somewhat."

"In the next trial, you’ll surely suppress him and control the pace!"

These words from the leader of the First Group were heartfelt agreement.

Xu Liang truly likes to speak with evidence, otherwise he wouldn’t win.

But then again.

Don’t worry about where the evidence comes from!

Don’t bother about when the evidence is submitted!

Some say it’s unethical, illegal operation, don’t believe it, it’s slander and defamation.

In short, he’ll submit the evidence to court and that’s enough!!!

"Alright, let me think for myself."

Huang Ren took a deep breath and then began to simulate in his mind the reactions Xu Liang might have during the trial.

In the end, he concluded.

No matter what legal argument Xu Liang raises in court...

He is prepared to respond!

Huang Ren breathed a sigh of relief.
