Walking away from the consultant's office, Zhou Niannian turned his head and asked Xiang Wei, "You are a little impulsive like this, aren't you afraid that Gao Zhiyong will retaliate against you?"

"After all, Gao Zhiyong still has the final say, I just came here on a business trip, and when the time comes, I will go back to Kyoto. ”

Xiang Wei grabbed his beard and said disapprerovitically: "I very much agree with what lawyer Xiao Zhou said, everyone should be equal before the law." ”

"A suspect who is taken into custody should also have the right to be defended, in case he is wronged? ”

"Lawyers should be more rational and objective, well, such lawyers are more old-fashioned. ”

Zhou Niannian originally listened to the first half and admired his words very much, but when he finally heard him say the word Lao Cheng is serious, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Sure enough, Xiang Wei, who doesn't use idioms, is still very good at speaking, and as soon as he uses idioms, he is messed up.

However, what Xiang Wei said is indeed more reasonable, after years of turmoil, the judicial system in China is almost paralyzed, and now the judicial team is being reorganized, but people's traditional concepts are not something that can be changed in a moment.

The purpose of the initial creation of the rule of law was also to raise people's awareness and awareness of the law.

But in the eyes of most people, they still think that the suspects who have been taken in the custody of the investigation bureau are basically certain to be criminals, and they should not be defended.

It's like people generally believe that if a person is a bad person, a lawyer should not defend a bad person, and if he defends a bad person, the lawyer becomes a bad person.

Zhou Niannian turned his head and glanced at Xiang Jingshan, who had been silent, "Do you think so too?"

Xiang Jingshan smiled, "I don't think as much as the third uncle thinks, I just think that Lawyer Xiao Zhou is a good person, so what he said must not be wrong." ”

Zhou Niannian, Xiang Jia's uncle and nephew, Xiang Wei is rough on the outside but rational and delicate on the inside, and Xiang Jingshan is stout on the outside but honest on the inside.

The three of them went to the Investigation Bureau, registered the relevant procedures, and met Zhang Peilan smoothly.

After being detained for nearly two weeks, Zhang Peilan lost a lot of weight.

Zhou Niannian almost couldn't connect the dark and thin woman in front of her with the plump and spicy Zhang Peilan she met when she first came to the countryside four years ago.

Seeing Zhou Niannian, Zhang Peilan, who had been sitting on the chair with her head down, stood up excitedly, and her eyes were amazingly bright on her thin face.

Zhou Niannian smiled at her and sat down across from her.

Zhang Peilan's pale face was a little stunned, and she pursed her chapped lips for a moment, "You..... Why are you willing to help me?"

Probably crying a lot these days, her voice is very hoarse.

Zhou Niannian thought about it seriously and said calmly: "I am a lawyer, and I am willing to help anyone who needs legal help, not because of sympathy or pity for you." ”

Zhang Peilan's lips trembled, and she sat down in a daze, and the hesitation and panic in her eyes gradually faded.

When Zhou Niannian was in the Meng Craftsman Brigade, she squeezed Zhou Niannian a lot, and even later stole the packaging bags of the Rainbow Factory for Zhang Dong.

She has done so many things, but she didn't expect Zhou Niannian to be willing to help her.

When she received the news from Meng Sanqiu, she was stunned for a long time, and she couldn't understand why Zhou Niannian was willing to help her.

Was it because of my own plea that day?

She submitted an application to the Investigation Bureau to ask Zhou Niannian to defend herself, and she was worried for a long time, afraid that Zhou Niannian would just play tricks on herself if she refused, and that Zhou Niannian would laugh at herself when she saw her.

Deep down in her heart, she was even ready to welcome Zhou Niannian to taunt her or pity her, but she didn't expect Zhou Niannian to be so calm.

"Thank you!" she raised her head and looked at Zhou Niannian and said seriously.

Zhou Niannian hooked his lips, "Let's say thank you when you go out from here." ”

Zhang Peilan's eyes suddenly burst out with a strong light, can she still get out of here?

"Do you believe I didn't kill Zhang Dong?" she leaned forward excitedly.

Zhou Niannian shrugged, "It doesn't matter if I believe it or not, the important thing is to make the judge believe you in court." ”

Xiang Wei, who was sitting on the left, slapped the table excitedly, "What Lawyer Xiao Zhou said is so good, it's just a boast!"

Zhou Niannian rubbed his forehead with a headache.

"Third uncle!" Xiang Jingshan glanced at Xiang Wei in a collapsed manner, and there was an urge to not want to hear him use idioms in his life.

Zhou Niannian looked at Zhang Peilan with a serious expression, "Since I have agreed to be your defense lawyer, I will do my best, hoping that you can believe me and tell me the whole truth." ”

Zhang Peilan's eyes flashed, and she pursed her lips and did not speak.

Zhou Niannian looked at her calmly.

Zhang Peilan shook her lips, her eyes turned between Xiang Wei and Xiang Jingshan, she lowered her head, and her voice was low but insistent, "Can you ask them to go out first, I'll ..... I'm just going to talk to you about it. ”

Zhou Niannian looked at Xiang Wei and Xiang Jingshan, and nodded slightly.

"Well, it looks like we're going to go back in vain. Xiang Wei shrugged his shoulders and pulled Xiang Jingshan out.

The moment the door closed, Zhou Niannian also heard Xiang Jingshan's heavy voice, "Third uncle, please, don't use idioms, okay?"

Zhou Niannian shook his head with a smile and turned his head to look at Zhang Peilan, "Now can you tell me what happened that night?"

Zhang Peilan nodded, probably thinking of what happened that day, her face turned a little pale, and she whispered after a moment: "After Zhang Dong was released from prison, he came over every two or three days to harass me and Xiaoxin. ”

"I hated him for putting all the blame on me and not letting him in. ”

"That night, Zhang Dong climbed the wall into the courtyard and pried open the door of my house. Speaking of this, Zhang Peilan's body shook and she was a little emotional.

"Don't get excited, speak slowly. Zhou Niannian comforted her.

Zhang Peilan covered her face and calmed down for a while before continuing.

When Zhang Dong sneaked into the house, she was sleeping with her daughter Xiaoxin in her arms, and Zhang Dong suddenly pounced on Zhang Peilan and tore her clothes.

Zhang Peilan woke up, struggled desperately, scratched and scratched Zhang Dong, Zhang Dong slapped him angrily, and said viciously: "My daughters have given birth to one with me, what kind of chaste martyr is she pretending to be?"

"If it weren't for Lao Tzu who had been in it for three years, would Lao Tzu have taken a fancy to a woman like you?"

"You obediently obey me, I promise that I can let you eat and drink spicy food in the future, otherwise, Lao Tzu will come to the door every day to get you. ”

Zhang Peilan was shocked and frightened, and struggled desperately.

At this time, Xiao Xin was woken up.

She watched a man press on her mother, her mother cried and shouted, and Xiao Xin was frightened and cried.

Xiao Xin's sudden cry frightened Zhang Dong and made him lose interest, and the angry Zhang Dong gave Xiao Xin a backhand slap, "Dead girl, what are you mourning? ”
