Chapter 461: Honesty and Lies (Part 2)
Lawyers have been exposed to suicide not many times, because there are many cases caused by suicide notes. Lu Yihang did not break out of the rules and regulations, and first questioned the authenticity of the suicide notes. This tactic is one of Cao Yun's tactics: the police are idle and idle, and go out for nothing, what if there is any gain? Lu Yihang's tactical thinking: it doesn't matter whether the question is successful or not, what if there is any gain? Even if there is no gain, the energy of Jiu Tai can be wasted.
The tactics are correct, and it is indeed a waste of Jiu Tai's time and energy. However, Jiu Tai has the ability to counterattack.
Jiuwei did not explain the authenticity of the suicide note from the handwriting appraisal, the location of the suicide note, and the judicial site. Jiuwei was very clear that using these three arguments can only explain the authenticity of the suicide note. Passive defense is not the strategy of Jiuwei's case.
Jiuwei: "We can read the true emotions of the deceased Li Bao from the suicide note, as a person's true feelings. The first mood: guilt. Li Bao admitted that he caused Zhao Xiao to fall off the stairs and apologized for death after Zhao Xiao's death. The second mood: regret, what he regretted was that he caused Zhao Xiao to fall, and what he hated was that he lie in court. The third mood: relief, when he was about to commit suicide, all kinds of negative emotions led to his suppressed mentality being released. The handwriting experts believe that the pen tip was obviously brisk in the end. The fourth mood: hatred, hated his lawyer, that is, the defendant Lu Yihang."
Jiuwei: "I can understand the first three feelings, and I believe the judge can understand them too. But why do you hate your own lawyers? You should know that Lawyer Lu charges very low fees in this case and won the lawsuit, so I have a few questions to ask Lawyer Lu."
Judge: "Yes."
Jiuwei asked: "Lawyer Lu, how many cases have you taken in total in the past three months?"
Lu Yihang: "Eleven Cases."
Kyushou: "How much is the chief attorney fee?"
Lu Yihang was stunned: "I didn't calculate."
Jiuwei replied: "By inquiring with the tax department, I can answer for you. The average fee for each case is 6,000 yuan, up to 15,000 yuan, and a minimum of 3,000 yuan. The total fee for your eleven cases is 66,000 yuan. You are a visiting lawyer at Gaoshan Law Firm. The law firm draws 15% of the law firm, and you still have 56,000 yuan. The average monthly income is more than 18,000 yuan. According to the tax rate, you are under the labor income tax rate (wage and labor income are different), and you need to pay 20% of personal income tax, that is, 3,000 taxes, and the money you actually get is 15,000 yuan per month."
Jiuwei: "You have an average of three cases every month. How high is the cost of three cases? There is no standard. Gaoshan Lawyer is located in the Nanjiao. You must stay in a hotel near the court the day before the trial. The daily fee is 800 yuan, which deducts 2,700 yuan. The daily food fee is calculated for you. It is very small, right? Another 3,000 yuan is deducted. The transportation fee is because the lawyer is located in the Nanjiao and the detention center is located in the westernjiao. You are running back and forth. Is it OK? You have 7,000 yuan left."
Jiuwei: "The phone bill is 1,000 yuan (Dongtang phone bill is expensive), and the remaining 6,000 yuan. After the hard expense calculation, you still have 6,000 yuan in income per month, which is not bad. But compared to your online shopping, giving a colleague a watch is worth 18,000 yuan. Can you tell me who I am?"
Lu Yihang replied: "I am a lawyer from the same law firm. I have been busy these three months. She assists and helps me organize the case information when she has time. I am very grateful to her. The prosecution does not need to question my finances. My actual expenses are much greater than the prosecutor's prediction. My sister will give me 100,000 yuan in living expenses from Gao Yan every month. Within five million, I am not short of money for just one phone call."
Jiuwei nodded: "Lawyer Cao from Takayama Law Firm is notorious. The law firm started in one million, and it is known in the industry. It is known as Cao Baiwan..."
"Oppose." The judge Cao Yun stood up and said angrily: "It's all my business next to Male."
Judge: "The judge has no right to object, so I will drive you out again." What's wrong with scolding you? You can go to sue, is he a lawyer? Do you understand the law?
Seeing Cao Yun sitting back quietly, Jiuwei couldn't help but smile and immediately withdrew her smile: "You are completely different from Lawyer Cao. You are not suing for money at all."
Lu Yihang nodded: "It can be said that."
Jiuwei asked: "For what? What is your ultimate private purpose in handling the case?"
Lu Yihang: "In order to accumulate experience, many defendants in cases cannot afford high attorney fees."
Kyuou said: "But according to my understanding, Lawyer Lu is quite famous in the industry, so don't worry about the source of the case, right? Are there any particular things to do when choosing a case?"
Lu Yihang: "There are certain choices."
Jiuwei: "In other words, lawyer Lu's reputation has increased due to the large number of cases and the winning rate?"
Lu Yihang: "Did the prosecution want to question me for my sake and for the sake of my reputation and fame, so I can defend Li Bao by any means?"
Jiuwei clapped her hands: "That's right. Obviously, Lawyer Lu is paying for money to handle the case, but when Lawyer Lu can choose a case where the lawyer fee is relatively high. This also explains why Lawyer Lu charges so low, wins the lawsuit, and is hated by Li Bao. There is only one reason, that is, Lawyer Lu violates Li Bao's wishes and asks Li Bao to perjure evidence in court."
This passage should have been divided into several parts, and the nine-tailed tails are summarized into one part, which has a considerable lethality. The first part: Lu Yihang pays money to handle the case. The second part: Li Bao hates Lu Yihang. The third part: Lu Yihang instigates Li Bao to commit perjury. The first two parts are facts, and the third part is derivatives and reasoning. Once combined, it becomes a causal relationship.
Lu Yihang immediately objected: "I reiterate that I did not let Li Bao perform perjury in court."
Jiuwei picked up the copy of the suicide note and asked: "Secretary Lu answered, is it a fake suicide note? Li Bao lied in the suicide note? Or is Li Bao not lying in court?"
This is another pit, and the pit is in the second question. Did Li Bao lie in his suicide note? No, but the suicide note does not explain that Lu Yihang asked Li Bao to lie. Jiu Tai used a method of confusing the concept and let the three be one.
After all, Lu Yihang had the strength and replied: "The suicide note is true. It is inferred that Li Bao was lying in court. But Li Bao's suicide note did not state that I asked him to lie."
The core issue was thrown out by Jiuwei: "Have Lawyer Lu considered it? You helped Li Bao win the lawsuit, and the fees were cheap. But why did Li Bao express his hatred, disgust and disdain for you in his suicide note?"
Lu Yihang must consider this issue and was prepared for it. He replied: "I don't think Li Bao was subject to legal sanctions. After Zhao Xiao passed away, he felt guilty and blamed me for the reason for the mistake."
Cao Yun sighed in his heart, how could you keep getting beaten? Fighting with Jiuwei on the same battlefield is almost like seeking death. You have been answering Jiuwei's questions and are being lured into an ambush circle.
Kyuou said: "I did not arrange for the master of psychology to testify in court. I just think that in the suicide note, Li Bao had fully explained his mistakes and regretted it, and had no intention of shirking the mistakes. In this case, he shirked the responsibility to you unreasonably? Then why didn't he blame the judge who sentenced him to innocence and the jury that found him innocent? I can't understand."
Lu Yihang replied after a long time: "I don't know what Li Bao is thinking. I can only emphasize that I did not ask Li Bao to commit perjury in court, and Li Bao's suicide note did not state that I asked him to commit perjury."
"I understand." Jiuwei nodded, Cao Yun's tone was very ungrateful. He immediately corrected his attitude and asked, "Lawyer Lu won all eleven cases in three months, right?"
Lu Yihang replied: "There are two cases that didn't win."
Kyushou: "But you didn't lose either. You voluntarily pleaded guilty by the defendant and obtained the prosecutor's understanding. One of the cases pleaded guilty in the pre-trial court and eventually received a light sentence. All the remaining nine cases won."
Lu Yihang: "Yes."
Jiuwei: "Concerning the previous question, Lawyer Lu selects the case? What are the criteria?"
Lu Yihang replied: "The cases I chose are all cases in which the defendant pleaded not guilty."
Kyushou: "Because you think this type of case has a higher winning rate?"
Lu Yihang: "There are considerations in this regard."
Jiuwei: "So you can't defeat the Li Bao case?"
Lu Yihang replied: "No, I can lose."
Kyushu: "You know you won't lose."
Lu Yihang: "I think it is quite certain to follow what Li Bao and I said, and the facts I have mastered."
Jiuwei: "The difference lies in whether Li Bao told the truth in court?"
Lu Yihang thought about it for a while before answering: "Yes."
Jiuwei: "I really find it hard to understand this. When Li Bao saw you and told you about the situation, you did not guide Li Bao. Li Bao appeared in court to testify and was acquitted. Li Bao hated you... Why?"
Cao Yun: Nine Tails don’t have many methods. She uses core questions back and forth on her own battlefield, which deepens the judge’s impression of the concept of core issues. Lu Yihang cannot answer core questions, and Nine Tails changes the core questions into multiple questions, resulting in Lu Yihang being unable to answer many questions.
This battle is not an ambush, but a strategy for exhausting troops. It is estimated that the killer weapon will be in the second half, or even the closing statement.
After Lu Yihang could not answer, Jiuwei used the last ace: "I want to invite witness No. 1, that is, Li Jiao, who found Li Bao's body, to testify in court."
Lu Yihang never understood the significance of Li Jiao appearing in court. Li Jiao was indeed the first person to discover Li Bao's body. Lu Yihang even thought with his imagination that Jiuwei believed that Li Jiao killed Li Bao and deliberately forced the real murderer through the trial. Otherwise, Lu Yihang would not understand the significance of Li Jiao appearing in court.
Li Jiao is Li Bao's Summer Friend and has a good relationship. Before Li Bao committed suicide, Li Bao invited Li Jiao to have a meal downstairs. Li Jiao felt that Li Bao was in a wrong mood at the time. He was puzzled and explained to Li Bao: "What's wrong with you? Could it be because Zhao Xiao passed away?"
Li Bao replied: "She is dead and I am still alive. This world is really unfair."
Li Jiao responded: "She is the one who wants to leave you."
Seeing that Li Bao was unhappy, Li Jiao changed the topic: "You are lucky. When you meet a lawyer, you charge low fees and have strong strength."
Li Bao: "Do you know why his excellent lawyer defended me?"
Li Jiao asked: "Why?"
Li Bao replied: "For fame."
Li Jiao: "That's normal, too."
Li Bao: "But I hate him, I hate myself even more. I suddenly understand why I have to go to jail and why going to jail is called atonement. Only when a person does bad things and tortures himself and makes himself suffer can he feel better."
Li Jiao: "Are you okay?"
Li Bao: "I lied in court, but it was actually Zhao Xiao I killed."
Li Jiao hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense, the lawsuit has been understood."
Li Bao: "Go away, you said the same thing as the lawyer. I repeatedly told me not to talk nonsense."
After listening to Li Jiao's testimony, Lu Yihang responded: "When I first met Li Bao, Li Bao asked me why I was willing to charge such a low fee to defend him. I replied that for the sake of fame, it was difficult for me to explain my purpose to him, so I won't explain it."
Kyushou: "Please explain your purpose to us."
Lu Yihang replied: "I have explained: in order to accumulate experience."
Jiuwei: "You have gained a reputation through the accumulation of experience... Lawyer Cao in your law firm is very high in the industry. If you are trying to accumulate experience, why don't you insist on being Lawyer Cao's assistant?"
Lu Yihang replied: "Lawyer Cao is very good at handling cases, and he has very few cases."
Jiuwei: "But the cases that Lawyer Cao took on are all cases with greater impact and more complexity."
Lu Yihang: "I don't want to argue about this issue anymore. My purpose is to accumulate experience, thank you."
Jiuwei smiled: "Well, have you told Li Bao not to talk nonsense in court many times?"
Lu Yihang: "Before the trial, I explained the court's regulations, requiring him to attend in formal wear, remain silent as much as possible, and be especially careful not to speak nonsense."
Jiuwei nodded: "After the trial, Li Bao was released in court. Did you ask him to have lunch together, but he refused?"
Lu Yihang: "Yes."
Jiuwei: "In two days, you contacted him twice and asked him to meet him, but he refused?"
Lu Yihang: "Yes."
Jiuwei: "Three days later, Li Bao contacted you through social software and said that he regretted not telling the truth in court. Then what?"
Lu Yihang: "Well... I was stunned for a while when I saw this news. I replied to the message and asked, what do you mean by the truth? What did you hide? But I was already on the blacklist by him."
Jiuwei asked: "Have you ever looked for him again?"
Lu Yihang: "No, I had a case at hand at that time and was quite busy. Dongtang City was very big and it took several hours to go back and forth."
Jiuwei asked: "Have you reported this to your boss and the head of the law firm and filed it?"
Lu Yihang: "No." Gao Shanxing went on a trip, and Cao Yun was in Daming City.
Jiuwei: "This is the real situation. After the trial, although Li Bao did not answer your phone, he had interactions with you on social software. You saw that he was in a low mood and guessed that it was because Zhao Xiao became a vegetative person, so you kept comforting him and advised him to forget Zhao Xiao and start a new life. And he was willing to take on the lawsuit against Zhao Xiao's family as his civil litigation lawyer. Li Bao replied to the message: He said that he should tell the truth in court. There was another message later: I don't want to see you again. Then I pulled you into the blacklist."
