Hearing the word "compensation", Zheng Qijie's parents just now had an uneasy expression on their faces, and they immediately disappeared without a trace.

"One million and two million? You're blackmailing! Father Zheng almost gritted his teeth and said this, "Where is your conscience for such a sky-high price?" ”

"Murder and dismemberment of corpses is an aggravating circumstance in itself, and the death penalty is nine out of ten, in addition, you must know that the market price here in the capital is basically 900,000 yuan per life. Tang Aoxue died without a body, and it was not an exaggeration for her mother to ask for more compensation. ”

Zhu Jinchuan didn't speak fast or slow, not sonorous and powerful, but he suppressed the momentum that Father Zheng seemed to be about to burst into a hurtful moment just now, and suppressed it little by little.

Father Zheng, who was opposite, turned pale, exchanged glances with Qi Wan, and said, "Let's discuss it." ”

After that, get up and leave your seat.

Zhu Jinchuan was not in a hurry at all, raised his hand and made a "please" gesture, continued to nest in the chair, and sipped the tea.

Ling Li leaned forward slightly, and asked Zhu Jinchuan with some puzzlement: "Master, obviously this amount is impossible to reach, why do you still bring it up and waste time?" ”

He smiled but didn't answer, put his finger to his lips to silence her, and then looked at the three people not far away with anxious eyebrows, and there was undisguised sarcasm in his eyes.

One hundred and twenty thousand is indeed the amount they proposed in the attached civil complaint, but such an amount they never wanted to reach.

In civil litigation attached to criminal cases, the clause that "if the victim suffers material losses due to the defendant's criminal acts, he has the right to initiate an attached civil lawsuit in the course of criminal proceedings", has been used for decades, while judicial interpretations define this scope as "the actual or inevitable material losses suffered by the victim due to the criminal infringement of his personal rights or property", which not only does not include compensation for moral damages and indirect losses, but also excludes compensation for disability and death, which account for the majority of personal injury compensation.

Therefore, court judgments often rely on the gourd to draw a scoop, and only compensate for the direct losses caused by the criminal acts, and the amount is usually very low, and the so-called compensation in this field is almost a fraction of the compensation compared with the compensation for personal injuries in civil cases. Without the initiative of the defendants or their families, it would have been impossible to reach the amount mentioned in the complaint.

From this point of view, 1.2 million is indeed what they are asking for.

From another standpoint, no matter how much money you have, you can't get back the daughter that Chen Rong regards as a treasure in her heart.

A few minutes later, the trio returned.

I don't know what they discussed, the wrinkles at the corners of Zheng's father's eyes were slightly relaxed, and his mood was much more relaxed than just now.

"It's still the same as before, no compensation." He said, the corners of his mouth raised a little smug, "Lawyer Yu and Lawyer Qi have said that what we want is a not-guilty verdict, and there is no need to dwell on compensation." ”

"So you're ready to take the plunge? Hoping that a lawyer who doesn't charge money and fights a lawsuit for free can save your son? Or do you firmly believe that the two public prosecutors are vegetarians? Zhu Jinchuan squinted his eyes slightly, his voice was low, but the words were in his ears.

He paused and raised his voice slightly: "You know, those two amputated arms will definitely not be linked to Zheng Qijie for no reason, and you are so sure that the prosecutor will not carry out a surprise attack in court?" At that time, it will be too late for Yu Wenzhong to take care of his own face, so he may stop acting as an agent and abandon the car to protect the handsome. ”

This was obviously a provocative remark, but Qi Wan lowered her eyes slightly as if she hadn't heard it, and didn't refute a word.

Father Zheng frowned and glanced at Qi Wan, who was still his backbone just now, and confusion gradually appeared in his eyes. Mother Zheng couldn't hide her anxiety even more, her eyes looked left and right, obviously she couldn't make up her mind.

Zhu Jinchuan smiled indifferently, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes: "Think clearly, after all, this is your son who has been cultivated for many years, and you will not be able to bear it when you return from studying abroad and fall into such a field now, right?" ”

Father Zheng's hesitant expression dissipated for a long time, and finally reluctantly recovered his indifference: "You don't use it to incite us, Xiaojie is wronged, Lawyer Yu said that he will definitely help him win the lawsuit, and we don't have to pay a penny." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Jinchuan raised his voice, "Did Lawyer Yu tell you that the criminal part of the verdict of not guilty does not mean that the civil side can be exempted from liability, and if the evidence is sufficient, it will also be compensated." If you are interested, you can go and investigate the Simpson murder case, which was not guilty criminally, but paid 200 million in civil damages. Tang Aoxue's two arms are in Zheng Qijie's house, how can they not get out of the relationship, do you say that you will pay or not? ”

As soon as he opened his mouth to say that criminal and civil judgment standards are different, Ling Li basically knew what he was going to say, and as for the Simpson case, which was finally pulled in, she also expected it.

This is the famous trial of the century in the United States, which attracted the attention of many people and aroused heated discussions around the world.

This case is already a classic case of no guilt 30 years ago, the case of American football player Simpson accused of killing his ex-wife and a waiter at a restaurant with a knife. The two counts of first-degree murder were acquitted by Simpson, who was civilly found responsible only for the deaths of the two due to several major police lapses that led to the lapse of strong evidence.

As for the standard of proof mentioned by Zhu Jinchuan, to put it in an inappropriate proportion, if the probability of Simpson killing is 90%, then he did not get the standard of 98% for the verdict of the criminal case, so he is not guilty; However, it reached 50% of the preponderance of evidence in the civil case, so it was ordered to pay a huge amount of damages.

It seems to be a contradiction, but in fact it is not a contradiction, and such a result is a bit illusory in the eyes of ordinary people who lack understanding of the judicial system.

Obviously, Father Zheng didn't have this knowledge, and when he heard Zhu Jinchuan's words, doubts flashed in his eyes.

He looked sideways at Qi Wan, his lips moved, and although he didn't make a sound, he was obviously asking Qi Wan's opinion.

Ling Li pursed her lips tightly, observing Qi Wan's reaction, and her heart was drumming.

Zhu Jinchuan can fool Zheng's father, who lacks understanding of the judicial system, but he can't bypass Qi Wan, a law graduate.

She just needs to say that it is the judicial system of the United States, and it is not applicable to the Great Celestial Empire, or if there is no criminal innocence, the attached civil part will definitely not be compensated, and it can only be prosecuted separately, etc., which can stabilize Zheng's father's heart, and it can also make Zhu Jinchuan's words obviously fishing in troubled waters fail to achieve the goal.

More than ten seconds passed, Qi Wan's eyes drooped slightly, looking at the notebook in front of her, motionless, and had no intention of speaking at all.

Ling Li still couldn't believe it.

Actually, Zhu Jinchuan said it.

He was sure that the Zheng family's parents, who had been unwilling to show up and remained uncooperative with the handling of the case, would go to the appointment on time, and also concluded that Qi Wan would cooperate with his performance in today's meeting.

From the very beginning of meeting Ling Li, she felt that Qi Wan was abnormal, and Qi Wan in the past treated her like sand in her eyes, and would seize every opportunity to sarcastically ridicule her, not at all as honest as she is today.

Although Ling Li knew that Zhu Jinchuan was not a person who could talk big, it was not until this moment that Qi Wan, who had the opportunity to remind Father Zheng, remained silent, that Ling Li really believed that what Zhu Jinchuan said at lunch was true.

Qi Wan, who had a terrible handle, was caught by Zhu Jinchuan. This handle is so big that she can betray the master who brought her into the industry, and calculate Yu Wenzhong, who has the grace of reinvention for her.

Ling Li couldn't help but be shocked in her heart, just now because of the rush of time, Zhu Jinchuan didn't have time to say the cause and effect, and she couldn't guess it now.

But no matter how curious she was, she also knew that she couldn't talk much at this time.

Father Zheng's eyes flickered, and he finally spoke with some difficulty: "I still don't believe you, Lawyer Yu told me that I can't believe a word of your words." ”

Ling Li admired Yu Wenzhong a little.

Even if he is not present, he can make the client who has no legal knowledge stick to the bottom line despite being shaken by the other party's lawyer, who is not bad at the same level.

Zhu Jinchuan actually didn't expect to make any progress in the civil part for a long time, raised his eyebrows and smiled, and changed his words: "So, what about 200,000?" ”

Since he didn't care, Zhu Jinchuan's own bargaining was really too ruthless, and he directly reduced the compensation to only a fraction of the money.

Zheng's father and Zheng's mother obviously didn't expect such a big gap, and they didn't come back to their senses for a while.

However, Father Zheng reacted much faster this time, and shook his head firmly in his eyes: "Two hundred thousand, I don't think about it." We'll just wait for the court to decide. ”

"It seems that you will not spend too much for this son. What, think he's embarrassed? complained that he had been reading for more than 20 years, but he was only a handyman, and he was involved in a life lawsuit? Over the years, he has made you unable to hold your head up in front of your neighbors, and he has caused such a big trouble, and I don't know when it will be a head. ”

Zhu Jinchuan had no scruples about poisoning his mouth, but he was obviously right by him.

Father Zheng's face was pale, his lips trembled slightly, and he hurriedly pulled up Mother Zheng's arm: "Let's go!" This lawyer has bad intentions. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Qi Wan with some disgust, and said: "They are all lawyers, and their level is too different, not worth one-tenth." ”

I don't know if he is saying that Qi Wan was suppressed in front of Zhu Jinchuan to the point that she couldn't say a few words, or that she was not at one-tenth of Yu Wenzhong's level.

However, she didn't argue anything, only followed behind the two old men who took an angry stance, and her steps were a little vain.

When they were about to go out, Zhu Jinchuan said far behind them: "Since you don't want to spend money, why don't you apply for a psychiatric evaluation again, maybe you don't have to pay, you can save his life?" ”

Father Zheng's back stiffened, and he turned back in astonishment: "What did you say?" ”

Qi Wan finally spoke: "I have already done a psychiatric evaluation, and the defendant is completely mentally normal, I wish the lawyer that you don't have to ask knowingly." ”

Zhu Jinchuan stood up and shook his fingers: "It seems that you didn't understand what I meant." I mean, please ask you two elders to also do a psychiatric evaluation, if it can be determined that your family has a hereditary mental problem, even if it is a recessive gene, the judge can also consider a light sentence at his discretion. If you can save your son, I will be a good friend, and everyone will not have to act with a clear conscience. After all, there is a human stump hidden in the refrigerator at home, which is not something that normal people can do. Why don't you recall first, did anyone in your ancestors ever suffer from madness, hysteria, or something? ”
