Chapter 90: Guo Xiaojun: This Litigation Application Is That Powerful?!
Whether there is a problem with the evidence.
This still requires further confirmation.
However.
If the evidence truly has a problem, yet Guo Xiaojun was still sentenced to five years of fixed term imprisonment.
Then no matter how one puts it.
This would undoubtedly be a major judicial accident.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Su Bai took Li Xuezhen and prepared to go to the detention center on Fandou Street in Lijiang District, Beidu.
Guo Xiaojun was currently being held in this detention center.
On the way.
Su Bai passed by a cigarette shop, hesitated for a few seconds, and in the end still shook his head.
Forget it, forget it.
This is Beidu.
We cannot keep doing this all the time, if we get caught, it would not be easy to handle.
As for Li Xuezhen’s powerful background connections, Su Bai casually asked.
“Do you happen to know any senior schoolmates at this detention center as well?”
Li Xuezhen shook her head.
“Lawyer Su, according to what I know, there are none at this detention center.”
“Alright then.”
If there are connections, very well, if there are none, that is also fine.
At most it means waiting two more days, it is nothing serious.
After arriving at the detention center, Su Bai submitted a whole series of relevant materials, and after the staff completed their inspection and confirmed that there were no problems, they spoke politely.
“Are you Lawyer Su Bai from Nandu Law Firm?”
“Yes, I am.”
“The situation is this, regarding the materials you submitted, our staff will need to conduct an examination, which will probably require about five days, please return first and come back after five days.”
Five days?!
In five days, everything would already be too late!
Is the efficiency of this detention center really this low?
“Would five days not be a little too long?”
“We are sorry, this is the standard time here, if you have any needs, you may raise them.”
The staff member spoke very politely.
Su Bai also found it difficult to say much more, so he nodded slightly and was about to call Li Xuezhen to leave.
But!
Li Xuezhen ran out of the detention center in quick little steps, and after roughly two or three minutes, ran back in the same quick manner, looking excited.
“Lawyer Su, I have already taken care of it.”
“Let us sit here in the waiting hall for a while first, it will be alright in a moment.”
Su Bai: “?”
Did you not just say that you did not know any senior schoolmates at this detention center?!
What was that supposed to mean?
As if noticing Su Bai’s confusion, Li Xuezhen narrowed her eyes in a smile and opened her briefcase, inside of which there was clearly an opened box of Zhonghua cigarettes with one cigarette missing.
“Lawyer Su, this is all social propriety!”
Su Bai: “???”
Alright, the student has surpassed the teacher!
It was the power of Zhonghua cigarettes at work!
Seeing Su Bai somewhat surprised, Li Xuezhen’s eyes curved into crescents.
Very soon, the staff member who had told Su Bai to go back and wait five days walked expressionlessly to Su Bai.
“Hello, your application to see your client has been approved.”
“You may come with me to the summons room now.”
“Alright, thank you.”
Su Bai politely expressed his thanks and brought Li Xuezhen to the summons room.
At this moment the staff member reminded them once again.
“The summons process requires a certain amount of time, you will probably need to wait about half an hour.”
“Alright.”
Su Bai nodded slightly as he spoke.
Half an hour passed quickly, and Guo Xiaojun was also brought to the summons room by the relevant staff.
Guo Xiaojun’s complexion was not very good, whether because he had been in the detention center for too long.
Or because he had lost his lawsuit, been sentenced to five years of fixed term imprisonment, and thereby lost his spirit.
His whole face was pale, without the slightest trace of color, his mental state appeared somewhat dispirited, and even the color of his lips was rather faint.
After Guo Xiaojun sat down in the summoned position, he slightly raised his head, looked toward Su Bai, and forced a smile.
“Hello.”
After exchanging greetings, he spoke again.
“Did my parents hire you?”
“Yes, at present it is not very convenient for your parents to come here, I am your entrusted lawyer, Su Bai.”
Su Bai answered with a smile, and looking at Guo Xiaojun, he did not waste a single word and directly entered the main topic.
“I have already gained a general understanding of your case, and I would first like to ask you a question.”
“Lawyer Su, please ask.”
Su Bai nodded slightly, drew out a sheet from the materials, and handed it to Guo Xiaojun.
“With regard to this piece of evidence, I would like to ask whether you have anything to say.”
The evidence that Su Bai handed to Guo Xiaojun.
Was a letter of accusation from Guo Xiaojun’s wife, in which she accused Guo Xiaojun of possessing the subjective intention to extort Aibao Milk Powder.
In the litigation of the first instance.
There were two main factors leading to the judgment against Guo Xiaojun, the first was that Guo Xiaojun first proposed compensation and then pursued compensation, and the second was the letter of accusation from Guo Xiaojun’s wife.
These were also the principal factors that led to the failure of Guo Xiaojun’s compensation claim.
“This evidence is entirely fabricated out of thin air, I never expressed any such thought.”
“So your meaning is that your wife committed perjury?”
“Yes.”
“Are you certain?”
“I am not certain what she was thinking, but I am certain that I never had any such thought.”
“Then do you have any proof that can verify this?”
Guo Xiaojun shook his head, looking helpless, it was precisely because he had no way to prove that he did not have such thoughts that he lost the lawsuit.
Facing Su Bai’s questioning, a wave of despair arose in Guo Xiaojun’s heart, he had once enjoyed an annual salary of one million and had been in the prime of his life.
Could it be.
That the rest of his life would now be ruined from this point onward?
He truly had not committed extortion!
At the moment the judgment was delivered, his entire heart turned gray.
For him, where was the justice of the law?
To be honest, despair was spreading in Guo Xiaojun’s heart as he spoke softly.
“No.”
“Mm, alright.”
Su Bai put the materials away, and Guo Xiaojun asked anxiously.
“Lawyer Su, for the second instance, do I still have a chance?”
Su Bai: “?”
“Why would you think that?”
“But you already put away the materials and do not intend to keep asking, does that not mean that you have already foreseen the result of the second instance?”
Su Bai smiled.
“Of course not, it is only that the following conversation will no longer require these materials.”
After putting away the materials, Su Bai spoke solemnly.
“Mr. Guo, with regard to your case, our law firm has several possible plans, would you like to hear them?”
“Alright, Lawyer Su, please go ahead.”
“The situation is this, I have examined the judgment of the first instance, and there are multiple problems in that judgment, the most important being the problems with the judgment itself.”
“These can be entirely avoided during the second instance.”
Su Bai suddenly changed the subject.
“How do you feel about your wife? Would you be reluctant to let her go?”
Guo Xiaojun spoke angrily.
“There is nothing to be reluctant about!”
“She appeared in court and gave testimony to frame me, I would be delighted to see her sent in!”
“Alright, Mr. Guo.”
Su Bai nodded slightly.
“Then I think we may proceed according to the following process.”
“First, file an appeal and apply for the revocation of the first instance judgment, while making a plea of not guilty.”
“Second, accuse your wife of perjury.”
“Third, seek compensation from Aibao Milk Powder.”
“Fourth, initiate supervisory review against the judicial personnel of the court of first instance and the related personnel.”
“Mr. Guo, what do you think?”
Guo Xiaojun was slightly stunned.
This litigation application is that powerful?!
If the lawyer he had hired in the first instance had been this Lawyer Su, he probably would have won at the first instance directly!
