After returning to his residence from the court, Li Chen began to prepare his reply.

Although the case is simple, it is not yet fully prepared.

The main reason for losing the case in the first instance was the attitude of the District Prosecutor's Office, which was learned from Lawyer Zhao's mouth, which was quite a posture of cracking down.

One of the words that is most likely to be involved in mass cases:

Involved in crime and evil...

If you get involved in death, there is no problem in pushing back more than ten years.

And Li Chen's reply is also divided into three parts:

First, the issue of the case itself.

As a party, Liao Hongqiang, has he ever stopped others from fighting with weapons.

The second part is the time limit of the time of the crime.

The third part, Liao Hongqiang's daily life, has he been involved in crime and evil?

The first two questions are easy to say, but the main one is the third.

Could it be that it is because he has a problem himself, which involves sensitive issues, that law enforcement officers pay special attention to his problem, and he must be sentenced?

This possibility is not ruled out.

That evening, Li Chen communicated with another lawyer and asked about this aspect.

Regarding Liao Hongqiang's question, Zhao Yongjie didn't know, he didn't even think about it, and he didn't know why Li Chen thought so far.

This is the difference between Li Chen and him.

When he started the lawsuit, it was around the case itself, while Li Chen was thinking about the whole problem.

If he is not good at being a person and is involved in crime and evil, then Li Chen has no need to defend him.

Liao Hongqiang's hometown is in the countryside, and he later moved to the city because he got married and bought a house in the city.

On the fifth day, Li Chen received a notice about the appeal of the case.

The higher court remanded the case for retrial on the grounds that the facts of the case were unclear and the evidence was insufficient.

He also guessed about this result.

To put it bluntly, this is their higher court taking care of their lower level's face...

Accompanied by Liao Hongqiang's family, Li Chen went to his hometown and visited the surrounding neighbors, including the old village chief who had retired for many years, and obtained a lot of testimony and confirmed his character.

Since there is no black and evil involved, then this matter is easy to handle.

After returning to Rongcheng from his hometown, Li Chen worked overtime to write his reply, and rushed to the trial court at 9 o'clock the next morning to submit his reply.

In the reception room, Judge Liu looked at Li Chen's reply and was extremely devastated.

Good guy, how dare you say this?

"Okay, I know your reply, you can go back."

After reading the reply, Judge Liu was also completely calm.

The other party's language is very sharp, but what does it have to do with me?

I'm in charge of adjudicating the case, and I'm not on the right line...

At noon on the same day, Judge Liu sent a draft of Li Chen's reply to the prosecutor in charge of prosecution at the District Prosecutor's Office.

When Inspector Wang saw the reply, he was shocked.

The first two opinions are not a problem, he still has the ability to solve them, and the third opinion...

He can't solve it, because the other party has done the work that only their law enforcement units do...

Two days before the trial began, Li Chen flew to Rongcheng again.

Because there was still some time before the trial of the trial court, Li Chen, who had done everything, returned to the magic capital first.

The pre-trial cross-examination session revolves around Li Chen's evidence, that is, the authenticity of the evidence.

Sitting in the reception room, next to Li Chen sat Zhao Yonghui, and sitting opposite was the judge of the collegial panel of the trial and the public prosecutor of the district prosecutor's office.

There is a white screen in the reception room, and the situation of Li Chen's visit is played on it.

In the video, there are spiritual guys around twenty years old, and old ladies in their sixties and seventies.

What's the content...

It reflects Liao Hongqiang's situation in the village more than ten years ago.

At the end of the video, Li Chen looked at several law enforcement officers opposite and said: "These effects are all recorded by us in real time, and if you doubt its authenticity, you can also summon them to the trial court for verification."

We visited the neighbors of Liao Hongqiang's hometown, and learned from them that when Liao Hongqiang was in the village, he was kind and simple, and often helped others, including old cadres in their village who have been retired for more than 10 years, and they even said that they could take their own organizational guarantees, so the possibility of Liao Hongqiang's involvement in crime and evil can be ruled out. ”

"Well, then that's no problem, you can use it as a reference."

After listening to Li Chen's speech, Judge Liu was extremely speechless.

It seems that none of us said that he was involved in crime and evil, right?

The most speechless was Inspector Wang, because Li Chen's behavior was equivalent to cutting off his words.

How to ensure his character?

Now that he has proof from the village, he can't talk about such things anymore.

If it's just around the case, then his chances of winning will be very small.

Never mind......

Don't force it.

Thinking of this, Wang Check's expression also relaxed a lot, and the hostility of the two people opposite him was also reduced a lot.

At the end of the pretrial conference, Li Chen and Zhao Yongjie walked out of the conference room together.

"Lawyer Li, have you noticed the change in that Wang Jian's expression?"

Walking out of the court, Zhao Yongjie opened his mouth and asked Li Chen.

In the conference room, Zhao Yongjie's attention was all on the prosecutor.

"Didn't you notice the change in his expression?"

Zhao Yongjie's words made Li Chen a little puzzled: "What a change." ”

Zhao Yongjie began to describe Wang Jian's expression and began his own analysis: "At the beginning, he looked at us with strong hostility, and his eyes were even more vicious to the two of us, when I was in the first trial, he was like that.

As he speaks, he looks at you viciously, making you feel as if you have done something terrible. ”

Li Chen was a little speechless when he heard his words.

In a way, the relationship between the District Attorney's Office and the lawyer is hostile.

One is to convict and punish people, and the other is to exonerate people.

What's so surprising about this kind of relationship, with a little hateful gaze?

Li Chen has seen this kind of look many times, including from the District Prosecutor's Office, the opposing lawyer, and the victim's family.

If eyes can kill, he is afraid that he would have been cut by those people a thousand times...

came out to fight a lawsuit, relying on evidence, and fighting for strength.

What's the use of being fierce?

On the other hand, Zhao Yongjie also entered his own summary stage: "When I watched the video, his expression relaxed a lot, and he should have figured it out." ”

"Perhaps."

Li Chen knew what he thought.

In Zhao Yongjie's eyes, as long as the people in the district prosecutor's office are relieved about the case, the lawsuit can be won.

And what about the facts?

The main reason for his relenting words was not that they were soft-hearted, but because they had no evidence to prove that Liao Hongqiang had committed illegal and criminal acts.

It was a wrong case at the beginning, and it was a mistake to persist until the end, so is there any insistence on it?

The two parted ways at the entrance of the court, and Li Chen also took a taxi back to the hotel he had booked to rest...
