On the afternoon of the fifth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Mingli met with the defense subject again at an interval of 24 hours, which was the first time since Zhang Mingli became a lawyer. Of course, she didn't look diligent in the eyes of Director Ma, but completely for Lanlan's mother and daughter-

Yesterday morning, she interviewed her cousin, and her disbelief came to naught. In her past impression, Lan Lan had a troubled life: she had no father or mother when she got married; Although she lived a comfortable life in a small mountain village after marriage, like her, after the pain of pregnancy and childbirth in October, the good times did not last long, and her husband had a car accident - and left, so that he was widowed at a young age; In order for Shanshan to go to Tongxi Middle School, she almost tried her best, and with her help, she got her wish. Now, I didn't expect my cousin to be in prison?

Although she "doesn't believe it" at 124, as a lawyer, she knows that the police will not detain people casually, and they will detain people to detention centers. Sure enough, under her questioning, her cousin told the truth of the case and restored the incident. What made her jaw-dropping was that her cousin not only caused the fatal injury of her first love Ning Yuanfu, but also dismembered the victim's body!

Looking at her cousin's sincere recollections, she judged - everything was true. If it weren't for the presence of the criminal police, she would have been shocked, and she would have criticized Lan Lan: Confused, confused, even if you "didn't call the police" at that time, wouldn't it be nice to call 120 to send Ning Yuanfu to the hospital for treatment; Even if you don't save it, you can't split the corpse and destroy it; You're jumping into the fire pit by yourself!

After she returned to the law firm, she carefully considered the "Ning Yuanfu injury and death case"? Assistant Xiaomao saw that she was in a very bad mood and didn't dare to say much, so she knelt on her desk to sort out the records of the meeting with the subject of the defense......

"Master, I've sorted out the transcript of the morning's conversation. Could you please take a look? The e-file has been sent to your email. Mao Zhulin said cautiously, and handed over a stack of A4 paper with both hands. What do you think? Analysis from the perspective of defending the suspect-" Zhang Mingli took the "record" and put it on the table with one hand and said: "Directly speaking, don't consider my personal relationship with Liu Guanglan. Xiao Mao had no scruples when he heard this, and bluntly said two points of view-

The first is to never suspect the guilt and make a not-guilty defense. The facts of this case are unclear and key evidence is missing. Liu Guanglan's self-description that "there was no killing, the person was stabbed to death by Xiaobai", which is completely inconsistent with the description of Yuan Sitian, the only witness who was present. According to Yuan: Liu hacked his bald head to death with a kitchen knife. This kind of completely contradictory verbal evidence greatly reduces the probative power. In other words, the basic facts of the case have not been clarified. Ning Yuanfu's body has not been found so far, which is a fatal flaw in the evidence chain of the case. Under such conditions, it is a question whether Liu Guanglan will be arrested and prosecuted; Even if he is reluctantly prosecuted, it is feasible to put forward a "not guilty" defense.

The second is to defend the mitigating sentence. The obvious fault of the victim in the case is also the cause of the injury. Ning Yuanfu not only sexually assaulted Liu Guanglan before the case, but also used Yuan Shanshan as a coercive "bargaining chip", and did not leave afterwards. If Ning's body is found, it is confirmed that he was hacked to death with a kitchen knife - as Yuan Sitian confessed, Liu committed intentional homicide, and the defense must make it clear that Ning did evil before - the fault is obvious, and the court is asked to reduce the punishment.

Mao Zhulin thought about it and said: "Master, if the police can't find Ning Yuanfu's body, it will be the most beneficial for us to defend ourselves." When Zhang Mingli heard this, Huo Ran opened her sleepy eyes and said sternly: "Xiao Mao, your idea is very dangerous, you must resolutely abandon it in the future!" Lawyers, like the police, uphold social fairness and justice, and are based on facts and the law. An important criterion for the success of our defence is that 'the court has appropriately sentenced the defendant', not to exonerate the defender. In particular, we cannot expect the police to smash up the case to prove that we have a high level of defense. Xiaomao, do you remember? Assistant Mao blushed and nodded, unconvinced: "You are righteous and awe-inspiring, but because you are not short of money, you are now well-known in the industry; If you can't make money in this kind of criminal prosecution, don't you just want to be famous? You don't need it, I need it! You can't be completely 'volunteering', can you? ”

Seeing that the apprentice was silent, Lawyer Zhang continued to enlighten: "Many people choose to be lawyers because of 'fame and fortune'. This in itself is good, but in order to win the lawsuit, unscrupulous means, such as: instigating the defense subject to resist the public prosecutor's law, helping to collude confessions, destroying incriminating evidence, etc. - definitely not right! The cases we represent must stand the test of time, so that individuals can be widely recognized by the society, and fame and fortune will naturally come. The basis of all this lies in acting in accordance with laws and regulations and being loyal to the truth. This case is in the investigation stage, and the police should have discovered the 'evidentiary problems' that we discovered, and they must spare no effort to verify them. As you said, 'there is no doubt about the guilt', I think it is impossible, and it is our goal to save Liu Guanglan's life and get the court to reduce her sentence as much as possible. The reason why she said this was because the amount of information in the meeting yesterday was too large, and there were "key details" that were not asked. For example: When Liu Guanglan dismembered Ning Yuanfu, did Ning really die? If she died, she would be guilty of insulting a corpse; If you don't die, you are "killing......

Tongxi County Detention Center Interview Room. Liu Guanglan saw that her cousin and the young man were there, and there was no police officer in charge of her case, so she couldn't wait to inquire about her daughter Shanshan? Zhang Mingli acted at the opportunity: first of all, she praised Shanshan for being sensible and obedient, and her study and life were normal, so that her cousin could rest assured; secondly, she brought Shanshan's thoughts of worrying about her mother, missing her mother, and hoping that her mother would come home soon; Then, while the iron was hot, he changed the topic, persuaded Lan Lan to let go of her mental baggage, dispel all concerns, and tell all the "new situations" related to the case in order to help her defend?

"Cousin, you are good to me in every way, and you are so good to Shanshan that you have nothing to say. I, I'll kowtow to you-" Liu Guanglan said, and knelt on the ground with a "poof"! Shocked, Zhang and Mao hurriedly left their seats and stepped forward to pull her up? "Sister, I'm sorry for you—if you don't forgive me, I won't get up... Sister, you must forgive me? Guanglan desperately lay on the ground, howling with regret. Get up first, get up first! I forgive you, I'm your sister, you're my sister, of course I forgive you! Mingli hurriedly said: "Are you wronged, get up and talk slowly?" Poor sister, we'll help you! Lawyer Zhang was so anxious that he almost burst into tears. At this time, the discipline also came closer, and the three of them hugged and pulled, and finally got the suspect to sit on the chair.

Liu Guanglan drank some water and was more emotionally stable, so she said the reason for "asking her cousin for forgiveness": she lied to Zhang Mingli yesterday and concealed important plots-

Ever since Ning Guangtou urged her to pay back the money, she was anxious and couldn't sleep well. The huge pressure of repaying debts made her slowly change from "grateful to the rich brother" to "tired of baldness". The bald head always took advantage of her to send money, and moved her body - no matter whether she was in a good mood or not, once she came on her period, she couldn't avoid it. This relationship is devoid of love and understanding between lovers. made her germic the idea of "leaving the bald head".

Xiaobai appeared unexpectedly, and she was gentle and willing to her, and she felt a new emotional sustenance. After her relationship with Xiaobai warmed up and came together, she firmly got rid of her bald head. She only has one suitable opportunity for a "showdown": she has to wait to pay off the "huge debt".

As soon as the mind is gone, the problem will be exacerbated. She later feared being alone with a bald head; When the bald head forcibly picks her clothes, she feels disgusted; The two quarreled and scuffled, and in the end they were all bald and won. She felt that in the eyes of the bald head - she was a tool to vent her bestial desires, and she did not even have the slightest human dignity. The aberrations and ambivalence between the two continued to be tense until the night of January 6.

When the bald head lay on her big bed and "didn't leave", she thought that only Xiaobai could help her: a face-to-face showdown with the bald head to end the inhuman relationship between the two, so that they could get together and disperse; Second, if she is bald and ruthless, she will join forces with her younger brother to him, so that he will have a long memory, and he will not dare to harass her again in the future. She was anxious to wait for her little brother to come, but she didn't expect the little brother to also call a "helper......
