Chapter 1 Sensation Nationwide
A lot of people dreamed of being heroes when they were kids, and today I really did it.
As a criminal defense lawyer, I helped my client save his life and even acquit him, even though he killed someone.
Back to the economic and trade firm, this time my treatment is completely different, this firm is very powerful, I can be ranked in the whole of China, I am usually just a small minion, but today my status in the firm is different.
I entered the firm under the leadership of the ace lawyer "Aleutian", who was originally a famous senior in the whole city, but today I am the protagonist, and even if I follow him, everyone looks at me.
……
A month ago, a murder occurred in Longzi Lake, where a bald bully hacked a passerby to death with a knife.
The incident instantly caused a sensation across the country, and everyone discussed the case in an uproar, and the accusations and spitting drowned out the suspects.
I still remember that day, Mr. Zhang from the firm asked me to go to the office to talk, and when he said that I should be the lawyer of the bald bully, I was stunned on the spot.
This case is bound to lose.
I was silent and didn't speak for a long time.
Mr. Zhang smiled, threw me a stack of papers, and said, "This is a good opportunity for you to experience experience."
I picked up the stack of documents with some embarrassment, which said that the Longzihu knife murder case, in fact, I was not afraid of losing the case, but helping such a vicious person to fight a lawsuit, my conscience would not go, even if I was a criminal defense lawyer.
Later, the whole firm knew that I was in charge of the case.
Once, when I went to fetch boiling water, when I returned to my position, Xiao Liu, who was wearing glasses, deliberately pulled another colleague next to him and said, "Do you see, he is cheap and obedient, and those who are criminal defense lawyers are a group of people who have no conscience."
The colleague on the side looked at me next to me, and just pushed Xiao Liu a few times, not too loudly.
I shook my head, not wanting to argue with the bespectacled monkey this time.
Because I was in charge of this case, the whole law firm seemed to look at me like a fool, and although they didn't say anything, I could see it.
Originally, it was difficult to be accepted by others as a criminal defense lawyer, but now that I defend such a person, I am even more disdainful.
Another time, I went back to my place as usual and suddenly found that my prepared documents were missing, and I asked the people around me if they had taken my papers, and they all said no.
I was so angry that I was fed up with slamming my fist on the table, and then I took my bag and walked away in a rage, and I could still hear them laughing as if I were their clown.
After work the next night, Ami came over to talk to me when I was about to leave.
"What's wrong, Ami." Ami is a very beautiful girl, in her thirties she is still a single fighter, and it is said that it is because she doesn't look down on the people who chase her, because their family is very rich.
"Why do you want to be a criminal defense lawyer, and take on this kind of mess." Ami took a sip of tea and said casually: "Look, the people in the office look down on you even more now."
I didn't expect her to ask me this kind of question as a lawyer, I didn't know how to answer for a while, I touched my forehead, looked at her and said, "In my eyes, lawyers are not divided into categories, I just try my best to uphold justice." After that, I took the paper and left without looking back.
……
When the trial finally started, I carefully prepared the words about the case, and I told my client before the trial not to be nervous.
After a long rebuttal and repeated discussions by the collegial panel, the final word was finally reached.
The defendant was acquitted! It's just a trivial expense.
I was stunned when I heard the acquittal, because I didn't think about the result at all, and I looked at the bald head for the first time.
The old man cried, he held his head and cried, he couldn't stop sobbing, I have never seen a person cry with joy like this.
I looked at the family of the deceased again, and the mother of the deceased also cried, and in an instant the whole person was paralyzed, and her head was very red, as if it was about to burn, and her wife and daughter-in-law supported her, afraid that she would fall.
I saw the deceased's father with his other hand on his chest, his eyes red, and the deceased's wife looking at me fiercely, the teeth in her mouth as if they were about to grind, and I guess she didn't know that she was crying, because there was only hatred in her eyes.
Then my face twitched, and I suddenly smiled.
"To hell with it, it's like Lao Tzu killed someone? Anyway, I've earned the money, whatever, you grandsons! I thought to myself, smiling like a villain.
……
When I returned to the office, all my colleagues stood up to greet me, even Aleutian came to the court to pick me up, and Mr. Zhang, his partner, and a few big names greeted me at the door of the office.
Seeing Xiao Liu and Ami with their heads down, I deliberately leaned over and sneered.
I'm a mega celebrity right now, and it's fair to say that the national spotlight is on me, and my heat outweighs the murder itself.
"You're a great lawyer." Aleutian complimented me in front of all the top officials of the firm.
……
After attending the commendation ceremony, I was going home, and I was so busy these days that I didn't have time to spend with my daughter.
So tired and so busy is for my daughter, as long as I can hear my daughter call Dad, everything is worth it, Mr. Zhang left me to sing at KTV tonight, I refused.
Entering the community, I said hello to the security guard, I walked to my house with a familiar car, just when I was looking for the key to open the door, I suddenly found that the door was not locked, and the light exposed in the crack of the door proved that Xiaoyu was at home.
"This kid, why don't you close the door, you have to talk about her in a while." I said helplessly.
As soon as I entered the door, I found that the lights in the toilet at the door were on, the lights in the living room were also on, and even all the lights were on.
"Why is this kid so naughty." I was a little angry in my heart, and I usually taught her to save electricity.
I came to the sofa in the living room and found that the TV was turned off, and Xiaoyu was not on the sofa.
"Light rain?" I threw my things on the couch and called out my daughter's name.
"Bang dang." At this moment, the door suddenly closed, and I realized that I was attracted by the lights that were on all over the room, and the door was not closed, but the sudden closing of the door startled me.
"It wasn't windy when I came back, why was it so windy?" I guess the wind blew the door shut.
......The landline in the living room rang suddenly, perhaps from a light rain.
A landline is prepared at home, just for Xiaoyu, she is only in the first grade of primary school, and she can't buy her a mobile phone yet.
"Is it light rain?" I couldn't wait to answer the phone and asked.
"Uh......h Whining. The sound of a little girl whimpering came over the phone.
"Little ...... Xiaoyu, is that you? Although he didn't speak, this immature and familiar choking sound should be his daughter.
"It's your daughter, Mr. Lawyer." On the other end of the line came a snarky man's voice, his voice as uncomfortable as a rat's chirping.
"Who are you? What did you do to my daughter. "I was angry and a little overwhelmed.
"Don't worry, your daughter is still intact." The mysterious man said calmly.
Daughter kidnapped? I thought of this possibility instantly, but I didn't ask him directly, because if that was the case, with my current financial resources, I was not qualified to ask him directly how much he would want.
