Chapter 108: No Reconciliation, Only Legal Justice!

Inside the office.

Su Bai took a small sip of tea.

After signing the entrustment agreement, and after briefly chatting with Chu Lei and his parents and Lu Ying’s father.

Chu Lei asked uneasily:

“Lawyer Su, I heard from other lawyers that you are the most top level criminal lawyer in Nandu, can this case be won?”

Facing Chu Lei’s hesitation.

Su Bai smiled and said: “Whether it can be won cannot be guaranteed, however this case is a best effort case.”

“You can rest assured, our law firm will certainly make efforts to help you achieve the entrustment.”

Li Xuezhen listened seriously at the side to Su Bai’s words and nodded vigorously.

Best effort case.

The meaning of a best effort case belongs to its literal meaning, to make every possible effort.

Lawyer Su making every possible effort.

This starts from the death penalty.

Immediate execution?

The specific execution time is uncertain.

After Chu Lei heard Su Bai’s words, he nodded seriously:

“Then I will first thank Lawyer Su here.”

“Yes, if there are any new circumstances later, you can contact me.”

“Alright, Lawyer Su.”

After Chu Lei brought the three elderly people and left the law firm.

Su Bai drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp, the entrustment agreement had already been signed and it was time to handle the proper matters.

However, this case had many problems and they needed to be resolved one by one.

The case file certainly needed to be examined, however the most important problem now was to resolve the issues of protest and application for retrial.

This case.

The first instance judgment was at the Nandu Intermediate Court.

The second instance judgment was at the Nandu High Court.

The protest and application for retrial needed to be submitted to the Supreme Court and the Procuratorate.

The difficulty lay in the application for retrial.

Submitting an application for retrial to the Supreme Court was not an easy matter.

Moreover regarding the Supreme Court, personal relations might not necessarily be effective.

Previously he had asked Chu Lei whether he had evidence when the second instance judicial officer told him not to continue appealing.

Chu Lei directly stated that there was no evidence.

Without evidence, then this matter indeed was somewhat troublesome.

However.

As a top level criminal lawyer in Nandu, this kind of problem could still be handled very well, overall the problem was not significant.

First examine the case file.

As for other matters, temporarily do not handle them.

After confirming the process, Su Bai let out a long breath: “Lawyer Li, let us go.”

Li Xuezhen’s eyes almost curved into crescents.

This was exactly the sentence she had been waiting for.

Let us go.

This time none of them could escape.

Whether those on the defendant’s bench or those on the judicial bench, none of them could escape.

None of you should even think about escaping.

Very pleased.

“Alright, Lawyer Su!”

Li Xuezhen followed behind Su Bai with a face full of smiles.

“Lawyer Su, where are we going?”

“We are going to the Nandu High Court to examine the case file.”

“Oh, alright Lawyer Su.”

Li Xuezhen nodded solemnly, her whole mood was cheerful.

Soon.

Su Bai brought Li Xuezhen to the Nandu High Court.

In front of the Nandu High Court.

Looking at the words Nandu High Court, Su Bai let out a deep sigh.

He still remembered that the first case he handled was at the Nandu High Court.

Wang Li’s bank robbery case.

It was presided over by Vice President Caixia.

After letting out a deep sigh, Su Bai restrained his emotions.

He skillfully came to the relevant window, revealed two small white teeth, and handed the relevant materials to a female staff member.

The female staff member looked at Su Bai.

Then looked at the materials.

The name Baijun law Firm seemed somewhat familiar.

And this case, the pregnant woman killed case.

The female staff member slightly frowned and carefully reviewed the materials, after finishing she raised her head again and looked at Su Bai.

Seeing that the female staff member’s expression was somewhat unusual, Su Bai smiled and said: “Hello, may I ask whether there is any problem with the relevant materials?”

The female staff member shook her head, her voice neither cold nor warm: “No.”

“The materials are complete, basically there is no problem.”

“Then approximately how long will it take for me to obtain the case file?”

“About three hours.”

Three hours.

The time was neither long nor short, then wait.

Copying the case file indeed required a certain amount of time, three hours was nothing more than about one additional hour, there was not much impact.

Now at the Nandu High Court there were no personal relations and no acquaintances, could he possibly bring Vice President Yu from the Nandu Bank case here?

Forget it.

Three hours passed quickly.

During this process, the relevant female staff member finally remembered why the name Baijun law Firm seemed somewhat familiar.

Because her colleague who worked in another department had mentioned this Baijun law Firm.

Then she checked this Baijun law Firm through her mobile phone.

This, the Nandu Bank.

She remembered it.

A trace of sudden realization appeared on the female staff member’s face.

She remembered this pregnant woman case had been entrusted to Su Bai.

After the copying of the case file was completed, when handing the materials to Su Bai.

Compared with her previous neither cold nor warm attitude, this time there was clearly much more enthusiasm on the female staff member’s face.

“Hello, this is the case file you need.”

“Alright, thank you.”

Su Bai nodded politely once, then handed the case file to Li Xuezhen.

Li Xuezhen placed the case file into the briefcase with a serious expression, her gaze remained on the female staff member’s face.

Seeing this, the female staff member hesitated to speak but finally did not ask anything.

Only after Su Bai and Li Xuezhen left the court did she let out a long sigh and make a telephone call.

Inside Baijun law Firm.

Office.

Su Bai was organizing the relevant case file materials.

Among them the most important was organizing the evidence and the aspects of the incident process provided by the prosecution.

In these two aspects.

Generally there would not be any problems, all had supporting basis.

After organizing all of these.

Su Bai walked to Li Xuezhen’s side and asked: “Regarding the new evidence that reduced the sentence during the second instance compared with the first instance judgment, has it been organized?”

Li Xuezhen nodded seriously: “Lawyer Su, it has been organized.”

“The new evidence for sentence reduction is one confession and the statement of a witness, the collegial panel members reduced the sentence according to this.”

“Yes.”

Su Bai took the relevant evidentiary materials handed over by Li Xuezhen and roughly reviewed them.

According to one confession and the statement of a witness, a determination from death with reprieve to life imprisonment was made?

This could also be done?

Regarding the second instance judgment having no problems, Su Bai certainly did not believe it.

According to one confession and the statement of a witness, the sentence could be changed from death with reprieve to life imprisonment, this was somewhat too absurd.

Next time would it be from life imprisonment to fixed term imprisonment, from twenty years to thirteen years, and then to.

Do not be absurd.

Looking at the new evidence submitted during the second instance, Su Bai complained several times in his mind.

However.

Previously there had been no new evidence and argument viewpoints, it indeed had not been easy to submit a protest and application for retrial.

Now.

There was an opportunity.

Su Bai took a deep breath: “Prepare it, submit new evidence, carry out a protest, submit an application for retrial to the Supreme Court!”

Li Xuezhen’s eyes became bright: “Alright, Lawyer Su!”

At the same time.

Inside the home of the offender Qin Xiaofeng.

Qin Xiaofeng was a sports specialty student at a key undergraduate university in Nandu, his father Qin Anhai was a well known professor at a university, and his mother Wan Yuping was a businessperson, who usually doted greatly on Qin Xiaofeng.

Because she was engaged in business.

Wan Yuping lacked time accompanying her son and wanted to compensate with money.

Therefore she responded to every request from Qin Xiaofeng and gave him whatever he wanted, when he finished the college entrance examination and entered university she bought him a car worth four to five hundred thousand as a reward.

Usual red envelopes and transfers were even more frequent.

Wan Yuping completely indulged Qin Xiaofeng.

On the sofa.

Wan Yuping’s eyes were red: “Tell me what should be done now, I heard that that Lu Ying’s husband again went to find another law firm, and it is also a top level law firm in Nandu, they said they want to submit a protest and go to the Supreme Court to sue us.”

“Our Xiaofeng is so pitiful, if that woman had not insisted at that time on arguing that she wanted to accuse our Xiaofeng of hit and run, would our Xiaofeng have stabbed her?”

“Now it is fine, not only did she die, she also dragged down our Xiaofeng’s future prospects.”

“How long has our Xiaofeng only just become an adult?”

“I think.”

“That woman also bears responsibility.”

“Is the second instance sentence of life imprisonment for our Xiaofeng not enough?”

“Think of a way to resolve this matter!”

Qin Anhai slightly frowned: “Be quiet.”

“Do you know how big this matter has become?”

“Do you know how great the impact on me is?”

“If it were not for me and—”

Qin Anhai realized something was not right and changed his words:

“If it were not for us producing new evidence, now Xiaofeng would already have received death with reprieve.”

“Death with reprieve is much more serious than life imprisonment, do you understand?”

“Enough.”

“That Chu Lei last time found a law firm and wanted to apply for retrial, was it not unsuccessful?”

“This time even if he comes again, he also cannot succeed, even if there is any situation, there will not be any problem.”

“Enough, let this matter temporarily end here, stop crying here, if it were not for you indulging Xiaofeng, would Xiaofeng have developed to this extent?”

Wan Yuping wiped her tears and hardened her face: “Surname Qin, what do you mean by saying this?”

“I am doing business outside to earn money, you are working as a professor at the university, you are the one managing matters at home, you are busy working at the university all day long, and you are still able to blame me?”

“Is this only my problem?”

“Why did you not educate Xiaofeng well?”

“In the final analysis, this matter fundamentally is not Xiaofeng’s fault, it is all that woman’s fault.”

“If that woman had not made unreasonable trouble, would our son have acted?”

Qin Anhai looked impatiently at Wan Yuping and did not intend to continue arguing.

Sometimes arguing with an unreasonable woman had no reason at all.

Continuing to argue had no meaning.

At this time he suddenly received a telephone call.

Qin Anhai looked at the telephone number, let out a long breath, and calmed himself.

After answering, after hearing the other party’s words, his expression became somewhat serious: “What?”

“You are saying that that Baijun law Firm is somewhat difficult to deal with?”

“You also cannot handle it?”

“Alright.”

“Is it necessary for us to provide money and let the other party issue a letter of understanding, and in this way the second instance judgment can be maintained?”

“But previously did you not say that if the other party applied to the Supreme Court for retrial, the opportunity was not great?”

“Alright, I understand.”

After hanging up the telephone, Qin Anhai rubbed his temples and let out a long breath.

The matter had begun to become troublesome.

Was that Baijun law Firm really so formidable?

However no matter what, since notice had been given, if that letter of understanding could be used, then it still needed to be used.

Wan Yuping at the side also noticed that after Qin Anhai answered the telephone, something was not quite right.

Therefore she asked: “What happened, did some problem occur?”

Qin Anhai nodded heavily: “Yes.”

“A small problem occurred, it is said that the lawyer Chu Lei found now is very formidable, we need to privately reach reconciliation with Chu Lei and let him not apply again for retrial.”

“Or give him some money and let him issue a letter of understanding.”

“Issue a letter of understanding?”

“What letter of understanding?”

“They also bear responsibility in this matter.”

“Now Xiaofeng has already been sentenced to life imprisonment, I have not yet gone to settle accounts with them.”

“Moreover last time we also said we would provide money and let them issue a letter of understanding, the purpose was to let Xiaofeng reduce his sentence, but they did not agree, this time will they agree?”

“Last time you only offered three hundred thousand, they certainly would not agree, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, increase the price somewhat and ask again whether they are willing to understand us.”

“Enough, do not say anything else, handle it according to what I said.”

“Yes, I will listen to you.”

Wan Yuping nodded, regarding such major matters she did not argue with Qin Anhai.

As long as nothing happened to her son, she was willing to spend any amount of money.

Inside Baijun law Firm.

Su Bai received a telephone call from Chu Lei.

“Lawyer Su, Qin Xiaofeng’s parents said they want to provide eight hundred thousand and let me withdraw the application for retrial, I refused, afterward they again said they would provide eight hundred thousand and let me issue a letter of understanding.”

Facing Chu Lei’s words, Su Bai slightly frowned: “And what about you, what is your thought?”

On the other end of the telephone, Chu Lei’s emotions had originally appeared relatively calm.

However.

While speaking, he remembered his deceased wife and unborn child.

His voice revealed a man’s firmness: “Lawyer Su, I absolutely will not accept any letter of understanding issued by the other party, I only hope that the law can give me a fair explanation.”

“Lawyer Su.”

“To speak honestly, I hope that the other party can be sentenced to death.”

“Even I think the death penalty is still not enough.”

Chu Lei’s voice carried deep hatred toward Qin Xiaofeng.

From an emotional perspective.

Su Bai could understand, his beloved whom he finally accompanied from campus to wedding dress, with their own child and family.

Was about to enter the path of happiness.

However a person appeared and cruelly destroyed all of this.

The cause was merely because a dispute occurred.

If it were replaced by an irrational person, then perhaps the matter would not have been resolved through law.

Su Bai took a deep breath, this entrustment.

Chu Lei truly chose Baijun law Firm correctly.
