The intellectual property case finally came to an end, and in the next few days, Ling Li was a little busy because she had to negotiate a settlement with the other party and go to court.

However, the feeling of finally feeling that she was not doing useless work made her feel a little excited.

It's great to be able to sit on an equal footing with the opposing lawyer for the first time, and for the first time to have the confidence to be able to handle a lawsuit on your own.

It was already noon when she returned to the law firm from the court, and Sister Lin in the financial office at the door saw her and asked with a smile: "Xiaoling, did the court go smoothly a few days ago?" ”

Ling Li pursed her lips and smiled, and nodded her head: "The expert witness is very powerful, and the other party has already proposed to reconcile." ”

Sister Lin was a little surprised, and then smiled again: "That's good, I heard that your case is very difficult." ”

She paused for a few seconds, and then lowered her voice: "Director Zhu just came back from a business trip, I see that he is in a good mood, you go and meet him." ”

Hearing that Zhu Jinchuan had returned from a business trip, Ling Li's somewhat excited heart suddenly calmed down.

This case has come to an end, and I don't know what the next case the master will give her.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel down.

Since one time because she misunderstood the basic concept, according to the demands of the client who came to the law firm for consultation, she filed an administrative lawsuit against the government's land requisition announcement, and was thrown back by the judge to tell her that she would not file the case, Zhu Jinchuan forbade her to take the case by herself.

It is not clear what administrative acts can be sued, and what administrative acts are not actionable, and if such an oolong lawsuit is spoken, I am afraid that I will be laughed out by the industry, and Zhu Jinchuan, as her master, will also be embarrassed.

So later, she could only handle the case handed over to her by Zhu Jinchuan, in case she made a fool of herself again and brought the reputation of the law firm.

Returning to his seat to put the information, Ling Li took a few deep breaths, felt that he had dealt with the negative emotions, got up and went to the door of Zhu Jinchuan's office, and knocked lightly.

His low voice came from inside the door: "Please come in." ”

Ling Li entered the door and sat down on the sofa, her back straight, although her face was very calm, she was actually a little uneasy in her heart.

Zhu Jinchuan was still looking down at the notebook in his hand, and he swiped it twice from time to time.

He is in his Chinese New Year's Eve and has been practicing criminal defense for 10 years, but in recent years he has suddenly turned to the field of intellectual property.

Compared with Ling Li's low starting point, Zhu Jinchuan is completely a high-end version of a gold-suited lawyer.

After graduating from Imperial Capital University, Shunshun became a partner in the firm after passing the exam, and became a partner in the firm within a few years.

When he was engaged in criminal defense, he had handled a lot of big cases, and people he knew would call him a big congratulations.

After his main focus shifted to intellectual property, he also worked vigorously and quickly climbed to the first echelon of intellectual property lawyers.

has been in the institute for more than a year, in fact, Zhu Jinchuan is not too strict with her, and rarely even talks about her, but Ling Li is always a little afraid of him.

He smiled so little, had almost no expression, always frowned, always wore formal clothes, rarely even wore a tie, and was straight and serious.

Coupled with his dismal record......

If it weren't for Zhu Jinchuan's debt to his uncle, when the waste was generally raised in the law firm to solve some small cases, I am afraid that he would really be swept away.

Therefore, whenever she needed to face Zhu Jinchuan alone, Ling Li was like when she was afraid that the head teacher would talk to her alone because of her unsatisfactory grades in school.

This time it was a little different, because she seemed to have won.

After a while, Zhu Jinchuan finished dealing with the matter in hand, raised his head and asked her, "How is your court today?" This case is also difficult to fight, and the second trial is just a formality, and if the result is not good, don't take it to heart. ”

Zhu Jinchuan actually comforted her very rarely, which made Ling Li a little stunned.

His long-lost good face made the tense strings in Ling Li's heart relax a little, and replied: "It's okay, the other party has proposed to settle, and it is no longer the tough attitude of the first trial." Consultations are ongoing,"

Zhu Jinchuan seemed a little surprised: "Oh? I thought I was going to lose. What have you done? ”

Ling Li smiled and spoke: "I found an expert witness to confront the appraisal conclusion of the first trial, and the effect was good, but now the other party is panicking." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Jinchuan pursed the corners of his lips slightly, and finally praised her: "Yes, this result is already very good, the next step is to talk to the other party, try to fight for the rights and interests of the client, and tell me if you can't do it." You sort it out first, and show me the materials for this case this week. ”

After speaking, Zhu Jinchuan handed her another folder: "This is a criminal case that someone has to entrust to me, and the case is relatively simple." You know, I haven't been involved in criminal defense for several years, so you can see first, if there is no problem, you will host it, and I will go to court then. ”

Ling Li took the folder, opened it and looked at it, a little distracted.

Master knew about the case eight years ago, and she always thought that as a family member of the victim, she would be prejudiced against the defendant in a criminal case, and the law firm would not arrange for her to handle the criminal case.

As a result, now she not only has to handle, but also an intentional homicide.

Some of them can't tell what they feel in their hearts, but they are just subconsciously repulsed by this case.

Zhu Jinchuan seemed to see her doubts, and explained: "I know that you probably won't be willing to handle criminal cases, you have a specialization in the art industry, and lawyers should take the road of specialization." However, if you're just starting out in the industry, don't limit yourself to a certain box, and be exposed to more genres while you're young, maybe you'll have new ideas. ”

If there is nothing wrong with this reason, it persuaded Ling Li. She stood up with the folder in her arms: "Then I'll go out first." ”

Zhu Jinchuan said "um", and when Ling Li was about to go out, he suddenly called out to her and asked, "Who is the expert witness you invited?" ”

Ling Li turned around and replied with a glance: "Professor Nan Zhiyi of Funan University." ”

Zhu Jinchuan's eyes flashed with astonishment, and he chuckled: "It turned out to be him, no wonder the other party wants to reconcile." ”

His laughter made Ling Li a little confused, and he couldn't help but speak: "Is there any problem?" ”

Zhu Jinchuan shook his head lightly, and only said after a while: "You are also crooked, you are really a fool and a fool." ”

Seeing that Ling Li was still stunned, Zhu Jinchuan seemed to have lost his patience, his face turned cold again, and he waved his hand and said, "You don't need to show me the information of this case, it has no reference meaning, you can go out." ”

After returning to the cubicle, Ling Li sat sullenly for a while.

I wish Jinchuan the phrase "stupid people have stupid blessings", which made her feel a little bad.

It turned out that he had worked hard for a long time to make this case turn around, but in the eyes of the master, he only invited Nan Zhiyi because of the crooked beating.

The familiar disappointment of not being recognized welled up in her heart, but she was already familiar with dealing with this little emotion, and she calmed down in a few breaths, opened the case given by Zhu Jinchuan, and looked seriously.

This is a case of a mother who killed her daughter and a minor who was victimized.

The suspect had a quarrel with his boyfriend who lived together due to an emotional dispute, and after the quarrel, the more the suspect thought about it, the more angry he became, and in order to retaliate against his boyfriend, he hid their two-year-old daughter in a wooden box in the bedroom where clothes were stored, and covered the baby from head to toe with the clothes in the box.

In order to prevent the child from crying, the suspect also pressed the child's face with the palm of his hand through his clothes for a minute, and later covered the wooden box.

The defendant's boyfriend called the police because he couldn't find his daughter, and the police found the dead child in the wooden box. Later, the police took the suspect under control and interrogated him, and the defendant truthfully confessed the facts of his crime. At present, the case has reached the procuratorate and entered the stage of review and prosecution.

Although this case is very simple, there are no complicated facts, tangled legal application issues, and red lines and forbidden areas that need to be cautious in sensitive cases, it does take into account the actual situation of Ling Li's lack of experience in handling criminal cases for the first time. But this case made Ling Li very uncomfortable, and her heart was panicked.

Just because of a few quarrels, the ignorant and innocent two-year-old girl was killed by her mother.

Why is it that there are always people who do not know the blessings in the midst of blessings, but they have to destroy their families and themselves before they are willing? Could it be that only someone like her, who has nothing, knows how to cherish it?

Three days later, in the lawyer's meeting room in the detention center, Ling Li met the suspect in her first criminal case through the iron fence.

The suspect's name is Qu Jia, 20 years old, Chinese at the beginning, unemployed.

Ling Li came this time to understand the facts of the case, and by the way, she listened to Qu Jia's defense, but no matter how she asked, Qu Jia just sat blankly, looking at the table with her eyelashes slightly drooping, and did not speak or answer at all.

Lu Xiaoxiao, who came with her, was very impatient, first looking patiently at her gradient manicure, and then simply propping up Erlang's legs, her face was cold and her eyes were like knives.

Early in the morning, Ling Li opened a letter in the detention center to meet Qu Jia, but Sister Lin suddenly reminded her.

She said that there is an unwritten practice in Luo: for security reasons, one lawyer is not enough to meet with suspects involved in violent crimes, but must have two.

Only then did Ling Li know that there was such a rule that was not in the book, if it weren't for Sister Lin's reminder, I was afraid that a person would have to run stupidly to touch the nail.

However, at that time, all the lawyers and trainee lawyers were either in court, going out to run errands, or asking for leave, except for Lu Xiaoxiao, who was racking her brains for a defense of bribery and slamming her pen to get angry.

Ling Li was thinking of making an appointment with a talkative trainee lawyer to reschedule, but Lu Xiaoxiao actually put down her work and volunteered to join her to make up this number, which surprised Ling Li.

Lu Xiaoxiao has always looked down on her, she knows this, and Lu Xiaoxiao does have this capital.

Graduated from a prestigious school, passed the judicial examination with high scores, was smart and beautiful, and had a good family background, he entered the firm three years ago and followed lawyer Ma to engage in criminal defense.

As the business and appearance of the firm, Lu Xiaoxiao is very confident to disdain Ling Li, a rookie who has lost for twenty-four consecutive losses, this time she not only sacrificed her working time to accompany her on a trip, but also drove her own car as a driver to send Ling Li over, which made her feel a little flattered.

It was Qu Jia's mother who entrusted Director Zhu, who divorced Qu Jia's father more than ten years ago, and then took her daughter to live with her second-married husband. The object of her second marriage is also capable, she has a small family property, and the family has no worries about food and clothing, but she has not had children for many years.

Qu Jia's mother tried every possible way to exonerate her daughter, and asked Zhu Dazhu, who was prosperous in the field of criminal defense back then, but Qu Jia's uncooperative appearance made Ling Li have a headache.

Lu Xiaoxiao sneered and turned to Ling Li: "You'd better wait for the case to be sued in court and apply for a file review as soon as possible, guarding such a silent log, you won't know what happened when you get to the court." ”

Then, she stared at Qu Jia again: "Do you regret it, don't want to defend yourself, and want to apologize with death?" It's a pity that it's useless, you die a thousand times, and you can't save your daughter. ”

After Lu Xiaoxiao's words, Qu Jia finally made a move.

She looked at the person in front of her, lowered her eyes and sighed slightly, and her shoulders collapsed.

She whispered, "I can refuse you to be my lawyer." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly and was about to speak, when Ling Li turned her head and said to her, "I'll come." ”

Lu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and stopped talking.

"Qu Jia, you may be sentenced to life in such a situation, even if we don't defend you, the judicial administrative organ will appoint a lawyer for you." Ling Li slowed down her voice, trying to make her words sound sincere and gentle.

Qu Jia raised her eyes and looked at her fixedly, opening her mouth but not speaking.

Ling Li saw that her attitude seemed to have changed, and continued to persuade her: "Your mother really wants to see you, but you can't meet your relatives at this stage, so she entrusted us to come in and see you." ”

Qu Jia's eyes were still as dull as stagnant water, and after a while, he finally spoke: "Can you bring me a photo of Xiaoyuzi?" ”

"What do you want pictures for? The daughter you covered yourself to death, and now you miss her again? Before Ling Li could answer, Lu Xiaoxiao had already reacted and yelled at Qu Jia.

Ling Li shouted badly, and almost covered Lu Xiaoxiao's mouth in a hurry, afraid that she would stimulate Qu Jia by her disrespectful words again.

However, Qu Jia's expression did not change at all, and he did not react at all to the heart-digging words just now.

Ling Li was still anxious about how to round the field, and Qu Jia opened her mouth again: "I can't dream of Xiaoyuzi these days, I can't remember her appearance." What if I forgot and couldn't recognize her even when I met her down there? ”

After speaking, he looked up again: "Please, you must send me a photo, is it okay?" ”

Ling Li was frightened by her stunned eyes, and before she could speak, Qu Jia had already reached out and pressed the bell to end the meeting.

Seeing the policewoman come in and take Qu Jia away, Ling Li really couldn't come back to her senses.

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at her confused face, and couldn't help laughing: "I've seen all the strange suspects, this is not unusual." ”

He got up again and pulled her clothes: "Let's go, don't waste time." ”
