Chapter 196 The Woman in the Mental Hospital 25

The Magic City is very close to Jinghai, and the total distance is only more than [-] kilometers. Therefore, it only took Lin Hui more than an hour to get to the center of Jinghai and check in at a mid-range hotel.

After taking a short break, Lin Hui made an appointment with her attorney, Lawyer Zhou.

Thanks to Zhang Jing, the lawyer Zhou she hired for Lin Hui came from one of the largest law firms in Jinghai and was a partner in it. A lawyer who can achieve such a level of professionalism and comprehensive quality can be seen as average.

Lawyer Zhou graduated from Jinling University in this province with a bachelor's degree, and received his master's and doctorate degrees in Shanghai. The reason why he works in Jinghai is simply because he is an only son and has to take care of his elderly parents.

Zhang Jing was able to find him and asked a group of people to find the dean of Jinling University School of Law, who was also Lawyer Zhou's former mentor, and then invited Lawyer Zhou to come out.

Otherwise, such a small case would have been assigned to a new junior lawyer in the law firm. How could it be his turn as a first-class lawyer to take action?

Although this case seemed small to Lawyer Zhou, since he took it on, he still took it very seriously.

This meeting with client Lin Hui in a cafe near the hotel surprised Lawyer Zhou a little.

He originally thought that a person who was forced to go in by his family and was forced to stay in a mental hospital for several months, and who was just discharged from the hospital, must be in a bad state.

But in fact, Lin Hui not only looks healthy, but also has a full mental outlook, and is also very well-dressed.

This made Lawyer Zhou feel relieved. He was afraid that he would see a client who looked haggard and panicked.

If this is the case, Lawyer Zhou does not recommend that she appear in court.

Most people may think that the worse the plaintiff's current situation is, the more sympathetic it will be to the judges and jurors, which will be more conducive to the case itself.

In fact, no. According to his experience, in this kind of civil litigation, plaintiffs who are in good spirits and in good condition are more likely to win the trust of the staff responsible for the trial.

This is because the plaintiff’s accusations and testimony will make people feel more rational and objective.

Especially since this case involves the identification of mental illness, Lin Hui's state is more beneficial to the case.

After meeting Lin Hui, the client, and after some communication and conversation, Lawyer Zhou became even more confident about the upcoming case and left with satisfaction.

Lin Hui went to the forensic identification center, did a series of tests, and then waited for the test results two days later.

Except for Lawyer Zhou and Zhang Jing, no one else knew about Lin Hui's return to Jinghai.

These days, although Lin Hui and Zhang Jing have not met each other, they have kept in touch by phone.

Her mobile phone number was obtained after arriving in Shanghai. She had canceled the original phone card, and the new number only had two contacts: Zhang Jing and Lawyer Zhou.

Zhang Jing heard the news that she had returned to Jinghai and wanted to come over to meet her. She wanted to see Lin Hui's current situation, but was stopped by Lin Hui.

Lin Hui said that he would go to Jinling to find her after the case was completed, so that she would not have to come here at this time.

Lin Hui was very moved and grateful for Zhang Jing's series of help and contributions to her original body and herself.

She has always respected people with such good intentions and enthusiasm, not to mention that the person being helped is herself, so she needs to personally reward her.

However, as for how to thank Zhang Jing, we have to wait until we meet and understand her current situation before deciding.

Right now, what Lin Hui has to do is to continue to condition her body, practice martial arts, and have a good rest to face the upcoming court trial with a better mental outlook.

Not only Lin Hui, but also the defendants also attached great importance to the upcoming trial.

Zhou Guoqiang found his mother-in-law and his wife's cousin, who were both defendants, and the three of them sat together to discuss countermeasures.

Compared with Zhou Guoqiang's solemnity and Li Cuilan's anger, Li Jiasheng acted a little absent-minded and kept fiddling with his mobile phone.

What was he afraid of? He just followed his aunt's orders and sent his mentally ill cousin to a mental hospital. What crime did he have and what would happen if he sued him? It was just a formality.

Therefore, he didn't listen at all to Zhou Guoqiang's series of explanations and arrangements after appearing in court.

He had made a small fortune recently and finally bought the phone that he had longed for that could take pictures. It was so new that he couldn't care about anything else.

Zhou Guoqiang was helpless when he saw that except for himself, the other two people didn't care about the upcoming court matter.

The mother-in-law is confident because she is a biological mother. She is convinced that even if her daughter wins the lawsuit, nothing can be done to her.

She, Li Cuilan, will always be Lin Hui's biological mother. If Lin Hui dares to do something to her, she will go to reporters to expose her. Then the audience's saliva alone will drown her.

Zhou Guoqiang does not have the same confidence as her. In the past two days, he has also contacted many people in the political and legal system, trying to smoothen the relationship so that he can be sentenced lightly.

But the bad news is that it spreads quickly. People knew what he had done long before he came to the door, and they also knew the punishment of him by the work unit. They wanted to stay away from him. Now he can't even get in.

Zhou Guoqiang had no choice but to hire a lawyer from a law firm in the city, hoping that the lawyer would defend him and exonerate him.

Who knows, what was originally said to be a good thing changed overnight. The lawyer wanted to break the contract and would rather lose money than accept his own commission.

As for the reason, people have also said that the other party's lawyer is a big boss of a local law firm. He is not an ordinary character like him who can handle it. Moreover, his illegal behavior is a fact. In this way, there is no defense. It's necessary.

The lawyer kindly reminded him that unless he hired another lawyer from other places, it would be difficult to find another local lawyer to defend him.

Zhou Guoqiang did not believe in evil and went to another law firm, but the reality finally made people feel disillusioned. As soon as he told the outline of his case and the name of the other party's attorney, no law firm was willing to take his case. Five or six families are like this.

This also made him completely give up on hiring a lawyer. However, a lawyer kindly gave him two pieces of advice after receiving him two hundred yuan in red envelopes: be sincere and plead guilty honestly.

It would be better if we could get the defendant’s forgiveness.

There is no other way to think of it.

Three days later, this ordinary yet extraordinary civil lawsuit finally opened in the Municipal Intermediate Court.

Speaking of ordinary, it is really an ordinary civil case. It does not involve personal injury or a large scope of litigation. The amount of compensation requested by the plaintiff is not large, which is unusual. That is because this case was approved by Dean Chu. Pay attention, let her be the presiding judge herself.

This is extremely rare. As a first-level justice, it is difficult for Dean Chu to take action in ordinary criminal cases. I didn't expect that she would be interested in a small civil lawsuit. This also made Yigan The staff took this case particularly seriously.

Therefore, in this court session, in addition to Dean Chu personally serving as the presiding judge, all the judges and clerks were also the highest-equipped in the court, making it the highest-level trial this year.
