Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 469: Chapter 348: The Case That Team 1 Didn’t Dare Take, Team 4 Accepted!

Xu Liang... which Xu Liang?

Old Zhao shrugged indifferently and said, "Which other Xu Liang could it be? The one with the double ’person’ character."

It’s Xu, not Xu with the ’ear’ radical, double ’person’ character, that means...

For a moment of trance, a member of Group One’s gaze twitched at the corner of their eye, inhaling sharply.

"Isn’t he in the Upper City? At worst, he should’ve gone to Qingshi City, how come a case in Hanhai City is still linked to him?"

"Sue the prosecutor? Why do I feel a bit uneasy about this...?"

"Did he ever have a record of facing off against a prosecutor? I can’t remember..."

"What’s there to be uneasy about? It’s just a lawyer anyway, we are the prosecution here."

"..."

Everyone suddenly paused, turned to look at the person from Group Four who spoke, and then turned back.

Director Sun furrowed his brows, looked at Old Zhao, and asked in a deep voice:

"Old Zhao, explain the whole story clearly!"

Old Zhao thought for a moment, and then slowly said:

"I’m not really sure, but based on bits and pieces from the Hongfu District Criminal Investigation Brigade, the rough logic is..."

"After the incident, Liang Yu contacted a lot of law firms, one of which was Xu Liang’s, but at that time the case hadn’t been solved, and the higher-ups hadn’t allowed the court to file, so no law firm took the case."

"But after filing yesterday, Lawyer Xu happened to notice the case, and then..."

His words were quite clear, and at least Director Sun and the others understood everything.

The only unclear part was...

"Liang Yu sent him the commission?" Group One’s leader raised an eyebrow, a question mark popping up in his mind.

Old Zhao nodded, Liu Jin indeed said so.

Upon seeing this, Group One’s leader was even more perplexed, "Liang Yu sent the commission, why did he become Lv Xiong’s agent!?"

Doesn’t this lack professional ethics!?

Is there no professional code of conduct!?

Where would the plaintiff send a commission, then upon learning about it, turn around to the defendant to defend them...

"I don’t know about that."

Old Zhao shook his head; he only knew that the other party hadn’t broken the law, not even the Law Association could handle it.

But he could guess!

"However, I think the high probability is because the prosecution here is preparing to prosecute Liang Yu’s case, right?"

"This case is so famous, Liang Yu’s case can’t be taken, isn’t Lv Xiong the only one left?"

Old Zhao kindly explained and then added with a warm smile:

"So..."

"Who are you planning to let handle this case?"

The moment he finished speaking.

Groups One, Two, and Three all fell into silence.

Director Sun paused slightly, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "Speak up, why is everyone silent now!?"

"Weren’t you all fighting for it just now? How come now everyone has shut up... If you don’t speak up, the next case won’t be yours!"

Upon hearing this, the prosecutors all showed embarrassment and then became humble.

"I think... our group, Group Three, still needs some reflection, and our members aren’t enough to take on such a big case. Let’s give it to the colleagues in Group One."

"That’s nonsense; we’re in Group One and busy as heck. Where would we get the time to handle this case!?"

"Then how about giving it to Group Two? Group Two has more people and fewer cases; it’s fitting to say there’s too many wolves for too little meat, so this case is perfect for Group Two."

"What did we in Group Two ever do to you!?"

"..."

The leaders of the small groups started arguing impatiently, just like before, except now they were all trying to avoid taking the case...

This case indeed is a big case, and handling it well would be quite an achievement.

But the problem also arises.

The public prosecutors usually stand in the ’plaintiff’ position; their job is to provide evidence against the defendant.

That means how long the defendant gets sentenced is largely influenced by the prosecutor, aside from the judge.

But here’s the problem.

As long as there are humans involved, mistakes at work are inevitable!

If a case has been adjudicated by the court, and the defendant has already been punished, but coincidentally... if the case is overturned in the end, showing the prosecutor was wrong...?

Then those responsible for the case would face huge responsibility, significantly affecting their career path!

Of course, in general cases, not many lawyers can overturn them.

But coincidentally... Xu Liang has the ability to overturn cases!

Moreover, the other party loves to trap opponents... since June 2004, of all the big and small cases, only Qian Li and three others survived; the rest were completely trapped!

Plus, in the case, Lv Xiong’s ambiguous testimony makes it even more daunting.

"Anyway, Group One isn’t taking it; we don’t have that much time to deal with him." Group One’s leader simply decided not even to pretend.

Upon seeing this, Director Sun showed anger on his face.

"Your attitude was completely different just now!"

"Now is now, and just now was just now. Within these few minutes, I’ve already grown." Group One’s leader stated truthfully.

Just as Director Sun was speechless.

The leader of Group Four, who had remained silent, furrowed his brow and spoke.

"Xu Liang from Upper City?"

"No matter how powerful he is, isn’t he just a lawyer?"

The leader of Group Four said, puffing out his chest, looking at Director Sun:

"Director, Group Four will take the case!"

Group Four... Group Four took the case?

Director Sun raised his eyebrows, internally delighted.

"Are you sure!?"

The leader of Group Four immediately replied, "Of course I’m sure; we’re prosecutors after all, and no matter what, the other party is just a lawyer."

Upon hearing this, the leaders of Groups One, Two, and Three exchanged glances.

"Huang Ren, when did you join the prosecutor’s office?" asked Group One’s leader suddenly.

"In May."

"Do you know Xu Liang’s full litigation process and have you communicated with the court?"

"How could that be; he doesn’t even litigate in Hanhai City..."
