Top Scumbag [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 156 The Love in the World
The day Zhan Qinghuan went to see Mrs. Pei in the detention center, she brought Pei Jinyao with her.
The weather was not bad this day, but overall it was a bit shady. Zhan Qinghuan was wearing a white lady's suit with her hair hanging down and tied up, looking very capable. Pei Jinyao was wearing more casual clothes. Behind Zhan Qinghuan.
When Mrs. Pei saw Zhan Qinghuan in the visiting room, her eyes obviously flashed with surprise. Zhan Qinghuan's ability to observe people is meticulous, and it can be seen from just one glance that Mrs. Pei probably knows her.
But in this world, Zhan Qinghuan has never met Mrs. Pei, so how did Mrs. Pei know her?
Now that I think about it, there seems to be no other possibility except that Pei Jinyao told Mrs. Pei.
Zhan Qinghuan sat opposite Mrs. Pei, showing a professional smile and said: "Hello, I am your defense lawyer, my surname is Zhan, I still have some questions about this case, I hope you can answer them truthfully. "
After hearing Zhan Qinghuan's words, Mrs. Pei's gloomy eyes became even darker.
She didn't expect Pei Jinyao to let Zhan Qinghuan be her defense lawyer. What does this mean? Pei Jinyao is so obsessed with this girl, is she going to hand over her case so easily?
After turning on the recording, Zhan Qinghuan put it on the table, opened her notebook and asked, "May I ask what did Pei Wan say to you when she entered with the knife?"
At that time, the police also asked Mrs. Pei the same question, but Mrs. Pei only said that she was holding a knife and rushed over. No matter how the police asked her, Mrs. Pei remained silent, just staring at one place It looked like he was in a daze.
Zhan Qinghuan didn't think it would be as simple as Mrs. Pei said.
Mrs. Pei must have concealed something from the police, and Pei Wan couldn't have said nothing when she entered Mrs. Pei's study with a knife, otherwise it would be too illogical.
But Mrs. Pei's answer now is the same as before, and there is no difference between what she said to the police and what she said to Zhan Qinghuan.
"The prosecution is going to prosecute you for the crime of intentional injury. If you plead guilty, I don't need to defend you anymore. You just wait for the trial."
From the attitude of old lady Pei, Zhan Qinghuan can tell that she is a very stubborn person, she will not say what Zhan Qinghuan tells her to do, or she simply looks down on juniors like Zhan Qinghuan.
There is no need for Zhan Qinghuan to defend others with a calm face. After all, Mrs. Pei's current attitude does not seem to require others to defend her. Since this is the case, there is no need for Zhan Qinghuan to waste time for her.
I just don't know if Geng Hongbo will be distressed that the big lawyer's fee in the back has not arrived.
Pei Jinyao didn't want to force Zhan Qinghuan to do anything, so she didn't say anything to keep her.
When Zhan Qinghuan closed the notebook and was about to put away all the materials and leave, the old lady Pei suddenly smiled sullenly: "Is this your professionalism?"
Zhan Qinghuan pursed her lips, still sat on the chair and turned her head to look at the old lady Pei, obviously not accepting the offer: "My professionalism is only effective for the client who cooperates with me. You are arrogant and refuse to answer my questions seriously. Question, what can I do, I feel sorry for the legal fees paid by Mr. Pei."
One must know that regardless of whether the lawsuit has been held or not, Zhan Qinghuan has paid the corresponding labor, and Pei Jinyao has to be paid by the hour.
After saying this, Zhan Qinghuan couldn't help but look back at Pei Jinyao, and then put all the information on the table into the briefcase.
There was a glass between them, old lady Pei glanced at Pei Jinyao who was standing behind with a calm expression, her face changed slightly, instead of looking at Zhan Qinghuan, she raised her head slightly and said to Pei Jinyao: "Ayao, this It's the girl you've been following for so many years, do you really like her so much?"
When Zhan Qinghuan heard this sentence, she paused to collect the recording. She felt that although she might not be able to ask anything today, she might know a lot about some things about the Pei family.
"Grandma, whether I like her or not has nothing to do with your case. If you want to come out, I believe in her ability, but you don't have to sow discord in front of me and her. My heart for her will never change. "
The old lady Pei gritted her teeth when she heard this, and regardless of Zhan Qinghuan still here, she angrily changed the subject: "You have already calculated every step before entering Pei's house, everyone in Pei's It's your pawns, including me! When you were underage, it was considered accurate. When you were young, you took the equity from me, saying that you wanted to let those uncles and nephews of the Pei family go, but you secretly saved them. You are a wolf. !"
Zhan Qinghuan looked at Mrs. Pei from the left, and Pei Jinyao from the right, eating melons in silence.
Pei Jinyao took two steps forward to the old lady Pei, and said with a light smile, "Grandma, I have done everything you asked me to do. I have cleaned up the internal turmoil in the Pei family for you, and those moths have completely left Pei. Family, as for those relatives you hate, they are already a mess without the tree of the Pei family, isn't it good?"
Pei Jinyao has always been very ruthless in doing things, Zhan Qinghuan knows this, she and Mrs. Pei are in the same line.
Seeing the remorseful look in the eyes of the old lady opposite, Zhan Qinghuan felt that she must be thinking about luring the wolf into the house.
Pei Jinyao has never been kind, she is very bad, Zhan Qinghuan already knew this.
"So you clean up the Pei family, and then deal with me." The old lady Pei's tone was firm, as if she didn't need to guess at all, and she had seen through Pei Jinyao's skills over the years.
Pei Jinyao is sophisticated and has a very long-term vision. Often, she can think of more than ten steps after thinking about it for a few steps. No one can compare with this kind of heart, even she is in her heart.
Pei Jinyao moved a chair and sat next to Zhan Qinghuan, and said in a deep voice, "Grandma, I never thought of dealing with you, but you saw that I was getting more and more uncontrollable, and wanted to find someone to replace me, didn't you? "
The old lady Pei was told her thoughts, she lowered her eyes and stopped looking at Pei Jinyao, but her expression was still serious.
Zhan Qinghuan suddenly felt that this place was simply a stage for their grandparents and grandchildren, what did she ask her to come here as an outsider?You don't need her to act, but let her come to the show instead?
Although this scene is pretty good to watch, from their descriptions, Zhan Qinghuan can feel an indescribable sadness.
Mrs. Pei married Mr. Pei when she was very young. At that time, she was still a nurse. Mr. Pei was injured on the battlefield. It was her little care that made Mr. Pei's health better and better. .
At that time, Mr. Pei was also getting old. After the war, he married Mrs. Pei and gave birth to a boy. Many years later, Mrs. Pei gave birth to a girl, and that girl was Pei Jinyao's mother. Pei Mi.
Pei Mi is about the same age as her uncle's grandchildren, so Pei Jinyao's current generation is so high in Pei's family.
Pei Jinyao's mother did not end well. Like her mother, she fell in love with an old man and gave birth to a child for him, but that man abandoned her. Mrs. Pei felt that she had lost the Pei family, so Pei Jinyao Mi Mi commits suicide, and Pei Jinyao lives in an orphanage ever since.
Mrs. Pei's son was very weak, did not give birth to a son or a daughter, and passed away when he was in his teens. The line of the Pei family did not continue, but Mr. Pei's brother's children were eager to move, wanting to To use various methods to share Pei's share of the pie, Pei's gradually became chaotic.
That's why Mrs. Pei hates those relatives of the Pei family so much.
After Mr. Pei's death, she supported Pei's family alone. In order to guard against those open and dark arrows, she had to be cold-hearted. In the end, a friend of hers accidentally mentioned it, and she remembered that her daughter had given birth to a child. .
This child's whereabouts are unknown now, but it is her only blood after all, so she must find it.
Only after Pei Jinyao came back did Mrs. Pei realize what a terrible person she had found.
She couldn't control the child, and at the same time, the woman's jealousy was at work.
Mrs. Pei has worked so hard for so many years, but she can't solve the relatives of the Pei family, but she was swept away by this junior?
She wanted to wait for Pei Jinyao to stabilize everything, and then find a smart child to teach him slowly so that he can guard Pei's family, but she didn't expect such a sudden change.
Pei Wan is the granddaughter of Mr. Pei's elder brother. She has no blood relationship with Mrs. Pei, but because of her father's education for so many years, she thinks Mrs. Pei is an old witch.
Although she thought this old hag was her elder in her heart, she hated Mrs. Pei.
Mrs. Pei has been in charge of the Pei family for so many years and refuses to let go. If their family came to take over the Pei family, how could they end up in the current situation of being kicked out of the Pei family.
Pei Wan hates old lady Pei, and old lady Pei naturally hates the Pei family who can do nothing but ask for money.
So when Pei Wan came in with a knife, after hearing Pei Wan's accusations, the old lady Pei beat the knife off Pei Wan with a cane. Because of years of training, the old lady Pei's strength is no weaker than Pei Wan , So when she got the knife, thinking about all the anger and grievances she had suffered in the Pei family for so many years, she burst out and pierced Pei Wan's internal organs one by one, causing Pei Wan to die on the spot.
It was only later that Mrs. Pei realized that this was the purpose of Pei Jinyao to eradicate the moths in Pei's family.
Mrs. Pei obviously belongs to the kind of person who likes conspiracy theories very much.
Those relatives of the Pei family lost their positions in the Pei family, and the Pei family lost their support when they drove them out. Now the person who manages the Pei family is Pei Jinyao, and Mrs. Pei is the one who brought Pei Jinyao home. Naturally, everyone in the Pei family hated Mrs. Pei, but they didn't dare to do anything to Pei Jinyao.
Not long after Pei Jinyao came back, Mrs. Pei gave Pei Jinyao some rights to see if she had any ambitions or desires, but she never thought that Pei Jinyao would always send someone to find out about a girl.
That girl, Mrs. Pei, has read her profile. She can be regarded as a very prestigious socialite in Lecheng. Both her father and mother have very good family backgrounds. There are also two older brothers on top of her. It can be said that she is loved by thousands of people. with a suit.
What surprised Mrs. Pei most was that such a girl has done a lot of good deeds. There is even a charitable foundation underneath, which raises a lot of money every year, and the accounts are very open and transparent.
Why on earth does such a girl, Pei Jinyao, pay attention to her?
At first, Mrs. Pei thought that Pei Jinyao was envious of her, but then she slowly realized that something was wrong.
The look in Pei Jinyao's eyes when he looked at the girl's photo wasn't envy, it was clearly admiration.
Although Mrs. Pei didn't want to lead everything in that direction, she still believed in the facts she saw, so she asked Pei Jinyao to go to the study to explain to her.
Pei Jinyao admitted it generously. She said that she has liked girls since a long time ago, it can be said that she was in school. Although girls don't like her now, she will impress her with her sincerity.
Mrs. Pei almost had a heart attack after hearing it.
Of course, Pei Jinyao also expected the old lady Pei's reaction. After supporting the old lady Pei, she quickly stuffed a few quick-acting heart-relief pills into her mouth, and then said to the old lady Pei: "Grandma, no one can stop me from being with her. Together."
When she returned to Pei's house, she had already made it very clear that when she was strong enough, Mrs. Pei could not force her to marry or get married in any way. At that time, Mrs. Pei knew that Pei Jinyao had just returned to Pei's house and needed to It's enough to make her feel at ease, and even set up a written proof. I didn't expect Pei Jinyao to be here waiting for her.
Mrs. Pei also knew that she couldn't control Pei Jinyao anymore, and now the entire Pei family was under her control, and those who held important positions in the Pei family were basically Pei Jinyao's confidantes.
Her time as an old man is over.
"You're thinking all the time to be with this girl, but she knows you're such a calculating person, do you think she'll accept you?"
The old lady Pei still doesn't want Pei Jinyao to be with a woman, even though that woman's family background is innocent, and she is good enough in person, if Pei Jinyao is a man, it's okay, how can the same sex fall in love?How can there be offspring like this?
Mrs. Pei's thoughts obviously haven't changed, and no one can make her change.
Zhan Qinghuan saw that they were talking there, and they actually talked about herself, and she was speechless.
"I'm already the worst in her heart, grandma." Pei Jinyao glanced at Zhan Qinghuan, and Zhan Qinghuan looked away, showing obvious rejection.
Seeing that Pei Jinyao could not be made to give up at all, the old lady Pei turned her head and asked Zhan Qinghuan: "So what are you planning, my granddaughter's money or appearance? Or what can the Pei family bring to you?!"
Zhan Qinghuan heard the very familiar words of the old lady Pei, and the anger in her heart rose little by little.
She remembered something bad.
At that time, she had just escaped from Pei Jinyao, and was tied up by the old lady Pei not long after. She sent herself to Pei Jinyao's wedding, smiling very proudly and happily.
Thinking of this, Zhan Qinghuan put a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, raised his eyes and glanced at Pei Jinyao, but did not look at the old lady Pei: "I don't like your granddaughter, if she didn't invite me from Lecheng this time, I would I won't wade into the muddy water of your Pei family, the Pei family is not a piece of gold, you take the Pei family too seriously."
Hearing what Zhan Qinghuan said, Mrs. Pei obviously thought they were acting for her, her eyes were completely red.
Mrs. Pei's hair is messy now, and she is in a state of madness. She stood up and said loudly through the glass: "What are you, you are not allowed to say that about the Pei family!"
Zhan Qinghuan closed her eyes and rubbed her temples a little. The prison guards outside saw that Mrs. Pei came over emotionally and took her away, so the conversation was nothing.
Although this old lady Pei is an elder, Zhan Qinghuan still wants to call an old lunatic.
She regards the Pei family as her life, and puts the reputation of the Pei family at the top, so what Pei Jinyao is doing now makes her gratified and angry.
What is gratifying is that she manages the Pei family very well, but what is angry is that Pei Jinyao not only does not listen to her own words, but even wants to be with a woman regardless of ethics.
It was indeed old lady Pei's mistake to kill Pei Wan, but it couldn't change anything.
She had no way to stop Pei Jinyao from doing anything.
Now the Pei family is dominated by Pei Jinyao.
After leaving the detention center, it was already drizzling outside. Pei Jinyao opened an umbrella from his assistant and stood with Zhan Qinghuan.
Zhan Qinghuan took a deep breath, looked at the hazy scenery in the distance, and asked, "So does she need to defend now?"
"Just follow the most routine, she doesn't care about it anymore, although I hope she can spend the rest of her life not in prison."
"In fact, it's okay to be innocent, but she is obviously not willing to cooperate with me." Zhan Qinghuan sighed softly, then turned to look at Pei Jinyao: "Come back to the hotel with me, I have many things to ask you."
"Know everything and answer."
Although Zhan Qinghuan told the old lady Pei that she looked down on Pei Jinyao and it made her sad, but she still has to be cheeky to make more presence around Zhan Qinghuan in order to drive away all those doctors .
Zhan Qinghuan is too lazy to work on this case now. She came to Sucheng with feelings and prepared the materials for so long. She originally thought that the old lady would like to come out. Since she didn't want to come out, she wouldn't force herself to give it to her. Even if there is a lawsuit, she doesn't want to offend the prosecutor.
After ordering an afternoon tea, Zhan Qinghuan picked up a cup of black tea and took a sip to relieve her tired body and mind.
Seeing Pei Jinyao's appearance of a primary school student waiting to draw a question, the corners of Zhan Qinghuan's lips curved slightly.
"Your Pei family is really interesting."
He is so greedy for profit that he can do everything for money and power, which makes people dumbfounded.
"The Pei family was founded by my grandfather. His brother is much older than him. The two brothers had a good relationship, but the children of my grandfather's brother have coveted the Pei family for a long time. My grandmother had to come out to preside over the overall situation and not let Pei home into those people."
Mr. Pei's elder brother is nearly 20 years older than him. When Mr. Pei first married Mrs. Pei, his brother's children were about the same age as Mrs. Pei. They looked down on Mrs. Pei, and Mrs. Pei naturally looked down on her too. fuck her.
Pei Wan was only ten years younger than Mrs. Pei, and her body was not as good as Mrs. Pei's. Years of extravagant life made her lazy, so she was killed by Mrs. Pei.
The Pei family was originally a mess of bad debts, and now it is because Mrs. Pei killed Pei Wan. Those members of the Pei family used all kinds of connections to get Mrs. Pei to pay for Pei Wan's life, but Pei Jinyao still hoped that Mrs. Pei could Spend your old age in peace.
It's just that now Mrs. Pei is full of resentment. She seems to have seen through everything. She hates everyone, the people of the Pei family, and even more Pei Jinyao.
Old lady Pei didn't know what she had done to Pei Jinyao and Zhan Qinghuan in her previous life, but after knowing that Pei Jinyao liked Zhan Qinghuan, she felt an inexplicable hostility towards Zhan Qinghuan in her heart.
She had sent someone to "invite" Zhan Qinghuan over to have a good talk with her, but Pei Jinyao's people arrested the old lady Pei's subordinates and even sent them to the police station.
Zhan Qinghuan was silent for a while after listening to Pei Jinyao's narration, as if she didn't know what to say.
Sitting in the soft chair and looking at Pei Jinyao's face, she suddenly remembered that she was no longer the Pei Jinyao when she was young.
So no matter what she does, she naturally has her own considerations. She sent so many people by Zhan Qinghuan's side to prevent Mrs. Pei, because she knew Mrs. Pei's position, so she had to arrange everything first to ensure Zhan Qinghuan's safety.
Knowing all this, Zhan Qinghuan not only did not feel relaxed, but also felt extremely heavy in her heart.
Pei Jinyao seemed to be able to see what Zhan Qinghuan was thinking at this time, and immediately said: "Qing Huan, you don't need to feel burdened, these are all the faults of the Pei family, and it is the best thing to me that you have not suffered any harm." Good thing."
Zhan Qinghuan can't say any complaints now, she leaned on the soft chair and closed her eyes after finishing the cup of black tea. Pei Jinyao knew how intense Zhan Qinghuan's work was during this time, so she took it from the side. He took off the blanket and put it on Zhan Qinghuan, then left quietly.
This meeting with Zhan Qinghuan seems to have given Mrs. Pei a lot of stimulation. After meeting Zhan Qinghuan, she only had one crazy idea in her mind. She can't let these two girls be together, she wants to stop them!
She can't let the Pei family's reputation be ruined!This is her painstaking effort for so many years. If she wants to go out, she doesn't want to pay her life for a lazy woman like Pei Wan.
So Mrs. Pei told what happened at that time like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.
Originally, she thought in her heart that she didn't care if she was old or not. She had deliberately killed Pei Wan to relieve her hatred, but now she felt that she still had a lot of things to do, and she couldn't stay in prison and die of old age.
But Zhan Qinghuan didn't want to take this case anymore, so she invited her master Geng Hongbo over.
When Geng Hongbo heard Zhan Qinghuan say that he could not take this case, he was still puzzled, and asked: "Did you encounter something that you can't solve? Tell me, and I will give you an idea."
Zhan Qinghuan felt that she was very lucky to meet Geng Hongbo, a master, but she didn't want to take on this case not because she couldn't solve it or because she was not capable enough, but because she had actually had an intersection with Mrs. Pei in her previous life. The old lady didn't feel very good to her.
This is also the case in this life. Mrs. Pei is in prison, even if she is her defense lawyer, she still has such great hostility towards herself. After Zhan Qinghuan heard all the truth that Pei Jinyao said, there is no way I did my best to help Mrs. Pei fight this lawsuit.
Or it could be said that Zhan Qinghuan had a gap in her heart towards Old Mrs. Pei.
She knew that it was very bad for her to do so, but Zhan Qinghuan still felt that Mrs. Pei would be rebellious and even refused to cooperate when she saw her, so there was no need for her to appear in front of Mrs. Pei again, to annoy her and annoy herself.
After Pei Jinyao knew that Zhan Qinghuan didn't want to take this case, he also expressed his understanding, and at the same time asked Zhan Qinghuan very remorsefully: "Did I do something wrong again?"
Zhan Qinghuan didn't answer Pei Jinyao's words, she just wanted to leave Sucheng immediately after this matter was over.
Pei Jinyao knew Zhan Qinghuan's thoughts in his heart, but there was no way to stop it.
The people from the Pei family are still putting pressure on it, and Pei Jinyao's life is actually not that easy now. It is thanks to Pei Wan's husband's family that Mrs. Pei was able to be transferred to the procuratorate so quickly.
Now they want Mrs. Pei to die, how can Mrs. Pei do what they want.
So people's hearts are always unpredictable, you never know what thoughts will pop up in their minds in the next second.
"Master, it's my own problem. Some things happened before that caused some conflicts between me and the defendant, so I can't continue to take this case. The defendant may have a certain hatred towards me and will not cooperate with me. Work, see if there are any free lawyers in the firm, please ask them to come over."
After listening to Zhan Qinghuan's words, Geng Hongbo was silent for a while.
Zhan Qinghuan's character, Geng Hongbo, has naturally understood after leading her in the past few years. This child is very resilient, and the more complicated the case, the more she will face the difficulties.
In Geng Hongbo's view, this case is not difficult. He has read the file before, and the defendant's family members have indicated that Zhan Qinghuan should be the one to defend. Geng Hongbo also feels that according to Zhan Qinghuan's strength, she can be taken down.
But since Zhan Qinghuan will take the initiative to tell Geng Hongbo, he can't sit idly by.
Hatred?
When Zhan Qinghuan was working, the defendant would definitely not cooperate with Zhan Qinghuan, the work became more difficult, and Zhan Qinghuan was also tired.
After thinking for a while, Geng Hongbo asked, "Have you prepared all the materials?"
"Yes, if you send someone over, you can pick it up directly." Zhan Qinghuan and her assistant brought over the materials and files related to the case, as well as the things that Mrs. Pei said were useful to the case.
Geng Hongbo knew Zhan Qinghuan's efficiency. He glanced at his schedule and said to Zhan Qinghuan, "Then I'll come over to talk about this case. The trial of the first trial is coming soon. We have to race against time."
Zhan Qinghuan didn't expect Geng Hongbo to go out in person, and at the same time felt very warm in her heart, she smiled and said, "Okay."
Geng Hongbo could feel Zhan Qinghuan's slightly depressed mood, and comforted him over the phone: "Qing Huan, it's fine, it's already very good that you can take the initiative to tell this matter, not being brave is one of the wisdom in life. "
Zhan Qinghuan couldn't tell that Geng Hongbo was comforting her and said "thank you".
Geng Hongbo flew to Sioux City that afternoon and brought an assistant with him. When Zhan Qinghuan handed him all the files, he asked, "Master, can I be your assistant?"
"of course can."
So a total of four of them began to study the case of Mrs. Pei. When Geng Hongbo went to see Mrs. Pei, Mrs. Pei seemed relieved. Knowing that her lawyer had changed, she was very cooperative and dealt with the matter at that time. I told Geng Hongbo all about it.
Zhan Qinghuan guessed this would happen, so it wasn't a big surprise, but Geng Hongbo could see that the defendant's family seemed to have some interest in Zhan Qinghuan, but Geng Hongbo didn't want to ask more questions at this time.
When Mrs. Pei was talking about the evidence, she pointed out a very important thing, that is, although there was no surveillance in her room, there was a recording.
Geng Hongbo asked her why she didn't mention this when she was taking the statement at the police station. Mrs. Pei only said that she was old, and she was too flustered at that time, so she forgot it for a while.
That way the case would be settled.
Pei Jinyao knew that she didn't want to disturb Zhan Qinghuan and the others when they were working, but she still cared about their living environment, and specially opened a room for them as an office area, equipped with a computer and a printer. class of equipment.
With the help of Pei Jinyao, they also got the recording of Mrs. Pei's words. It was Zhan Qinghuan's first visit to Pei's old house.
The Pei family's old house occupies a very large area. It can be seen that it used to be a big family in the south of the Yangtze River. The courtyard and pavilions are self-contained, and it can be used as a tourist attraction.
The recording was under Mrs. Pei's desk. I don't know if this is the habit of rich people.
"Do you want to stay for a while?" Pei Jinyao looked very hospitable, but the four of them shook their heads.
In fact, they couldn't figure out why Pei Jinyao didn't go to a local lawyer in Sioux City but went to Lecheng to find Zhan Qinghuan to defend her. Zhan Qinghuan had a conflict with her grandmother.
Pei Jinyao's attitude towards Zhan Qinghuan is also very imaginative, as if Zhan Qinghuan is the object of her pursuit.
In such a busy state, Mrs. Pei's case finally came to court.
It can be seen that she had a pretty good life in prison. Although she looked tired, she was clean and tidy overall, thanks to Pei Jinyao's management.
The people of the Pei family tried their best to send Mrs. Pei to prison, hoping that the prosecution would convict her quickly, but Pei Jinyao also has contacts in Sucheng, so they won't let them succeed so easily.
On the day of the court session, Zhan Qinghuan didn't go, but gummed in the hotel.
During this period of time, she always stayed in the hotel and didn't go out. The air conditioner in the hotel was turned on very loudly. Sometimes she forgot to add clothes and caught a cold accidentally.
Originally, Pei Jinyao wanted to stay and take care of Zhan Qinghuan, but Zhan Qinghuan shook her head, saying that she would go back to Lecheng directly after Pei Jinyao stayed here, which forced Pei Jinyao away.
Pei Jinyao was very worried about Zhan Qinghuan, and contacted the family doctor to give Zhan Qinghuan a checkup. She also knew that as the granddaughter of Mrs. Pei, she would be criticized if she didn't appear in court.
Geng Hongbo is a very experienced old lawyer. He knows that Mrs. Pei is old now, and she is a passive murderer. From the recording submitted by Mrs. Pei, it can be clearly heard that Mrs. Pei When Wan entered the door with a knife, she said very bluntly: "You old witch, you ruined my Pei family. You brought that bastard Pei Jinyao home just to eat away at the Pei family. What kind of surname is she? Yes, she should take her father's surname!"
"She has the blood of my Pei family, so why can't she be named Pei?" The old lady's voice was hoarse but sounded confident. Her crutch seemed to have knocked on the floor at this moment, making a muffled sound.
Pei Wan seemed to be even more angry when she heard these words, her voice approached a little, and her voice was mixed with a serious noise: "She is my family's surname! You are just coveting the property of the Pei family, you don't care The Pei family has not been reconciled for so many years, and even asked your granddaughter to drive us away, why!?"
"Why? Huh!" The old lady Pei was obviously irritated by Pei Wan's questioning, she stood up and said, "Your Pei family can only do stupid things! If I hadn't tried my best to turn the tide back then, the Pei family would have been punished by your father." Ruined! Can you still travel and shop as comfortably as you do now? You think so beautifully! The Pei family belongs to my husband, why should your father take it?!"
As if being poked at a sore spot, Pei Wan's breathing was obviously very rapid, she stared at the old lady Pei, her eyes were red: "You old bastard, I'll kill you!"
Then there was a mess of noises, the sound of the knife being hit on the carpet and the sound of Mrs. Pei's crutch hitting someone, then the sound of scuffling, and finally the sound of the knife piercing into the flesh.
The recording came suddenly, and Geng Hongbo also presented evidence that Pei Wan had a history of drug abuse, but the prosecutor said that this evidence had nothing to do with the case, and the defendant could not prove that Pei Wan had a history of drug abuse before entering Pei Yanzimei's study with a knife. drug use.
Next, Geng Hongbo took out another document, proving that Mrs. Pei had certain mental problems, she couldn't control her emotions, and she would never have done such a thing if it wasn't provoked by others, so in When it came down to Pei Wan, her mind couldn't distinguish everything.
After the court debate, Mrs. Pei gave the statement of the defendant. She said that the situation was very chaotic at that time, she did not expect such serious consequences, and she felt that she was not guilty.
The judge saw the wrinkled face of the old man, as well as the expression of sadness and pain and self-reproach, and nodded to express his understanding.
Pei Yanzimei is an elderly lady. Geng Hongbo advocated self-defense and did not constitute the crime of intentional injury, and asked the court to acquit the defendant according to law.
In the recording, Pei Wan directly stated that she was going to kill Pei Yan Zimei. Article 20 of the Criminal Law stipulates that for assaults, homicides, robberies, rapes, kidnappings, and other violent crimes that seriously endanger personal safety, defensive behavior must be taken. Causing casualties to unlawful infringers is not considered excessive self-defense and shall not bear criminal responsibility.
The prosecutor's brows were deeply frowned, this is another headache case.
It was already night when Zhan Qinghuan woke up, she was covered with a thick quilt, and she was sweating all over.
Seeing that the breathing light was on, she brought it over, stretched a little, and then turned it on. It was Geng Hongbo's message: the punishment was exempted in the first instance, and the possibility of the prosecution's protest was not ruled out.
Zhan Qinghuan was not surprised by this result, but she was curious about how old lady Pei would cooperate with Geng Hongbo's request.
To put it bluntly, Geng Hongbo's idiomatic method is to make the parties suffer, and use sympathy to achieve the purpose of commuting the sentence.
Although generally speaking, it is useless, but at least let the parties put their attitude there.
Zhan Qinghuan replied with a good word, and then saw several text messages from Pei Jinyao: The first trial is over, thank you and your master.
With no news of Pei Jinyao's reply, Zhan Qinghuan put it back on the bedside table to order a meal for herself and then went to wash up.
There will basically not be much difference between the second trial and the first trial, unless the prosecution finds some other evidence of Mrs. Pei.
Geng Hongbo said that intentionally hurting the viscera was not a deliberate plan because he knew the structure of the human body because he was a nurse back then.
Fortunately, Zhan Qinghuan is young and in good health. After sleeping and sweating all over, his mind clears up. Geng Hongbo said that he couldn't bear the rainy weather in Sucheng, so he asked Zhan Qinghuan to help him here first. He took care of things and came back after the second trial.
But the prosecution did not contest.
After Mrs. Pei was released, some members of Pei's family were obviously not convinced, but several of them were criminally detained for bribing public officials.
Now that the case is over, Pei Jinyao has no choice but to stay by Zhan Qinghuan's side. Zhan Qinghuan, who returns to Lecheng, feels as if her whole body has come alive, and she is indescribably satisfied and comfortable.
After Mrs. Pei came back from prison and returned to Pei's house, she thought that everything would still be the same as before, and she wanted to continue with her plan, which was to keep Pei Jinyao and Zhan Qinghuan from being together, but she found that all the servants in the family were killed. Instead, even Aunt Qiong, who had been with her for many years, was sent back to her hometown.
All of this was naturally done by Pei Jinyao. The old lady Pei was very angry, saying that Pei Jinyao didn't take her seriously now, and said that she wanted to see Zhan Qinghuan so that she could see how Pei Jinyao treated her. How bad it is, keep her away from Pei Jinyao.
Pei Jinyao sighed softly. Mrs. Pei did have a mental illness, but she didn't discover it herself. Previously, Pei Jinyao had always wondered why Mrs. Pei was so stubborn. Feel that the world is impermanent.
All the things she couldn't control in her previous life have been dealt with in this life. The Pei family has settled down. The most unstable factor, Mrs. Pei, is now living in the old house of the Pei family. Pei Jinyao has hired a well-known nurse to ensure that Pei The daily life of the old lady, and at the same time, the old lady Pei will not be exposed to those sharp
The weather was not bad this day, but overall it was a bit shady. Zhan Qinghuan was wearing a white lady's suit with her hair hanging down and tied up, looking very capable. Pei Jinyao was wearing more casual clothes. Behind Zhan Qinghuan.
When Mrs. Pei saw Zhan Qinghuan in the visiting room, her eyes obviously flashed with surprise. Zhan Qinghuan's ability to observe people is meticulous, and it can be seen from just one glance that Mrs. Pei probably knows her.
But in this world, Zhan Qinghuan has never met Mrs. Pei, so how did Mrs. Pei know her?
Now that I think about it, there seems to be no other possibility except that Pei Jinyao told Mrs. Pei.
Zhan Qinghuan sat opposite Mrs. Pei, showing a professional smile and said: "Hello, I am your defense lawyer, my surname is Zhan, I still have some questions about this case, I hope you can answer them truthfully. "
After hearing Zhan Qinghuan's words, Mrs. Pei's gloomy eyes became even darker.
She didn't expect Pei Jinyao to let Zhan Qinghuan be her defense lawyer. What does this mean? Pei Jinyao is so obsessed with this girl, is she going to hand over her case so easily?
After turning on the recording, Zhan Qinghuan put it on the table, opened her notebook and asked, "May I ask what did Pei Wan say to you when she entered with the knife?"
At that time, the police also asked Mrs. Pei the same question, but Mrs. Pei only said that she was holding a knife and rushed over. No matter how the police asked her, Mrs. Pei remained silent, just staring at one place It looked like he was in a daze.
Zhan Qinghuan didn't think it would be as simple as Mrs. Pei said.
Mrs. Pei must have concealed something from the police, and Pei Wan couldn't have said nothing when she entered Mrs. Pei's study with a knife, otherwise it would be too illogical.
But Mrs. Pei's answer now is the same as before, and there is no difference between what she said to the police and what she said to Zhan Qinghuan.
"The prosecution is going to prosecute you for the crime of intentional injury. If you plead guilty, I don't need to defend you anymore. You just wait for the trial."
From the attitude of old lady Pei, Zhan Qinghuan can tell that she is a very stubborn person, she will not say what Zhan Qinghuan tells her to do, or she simply looks down on juniors like Zhan Qinghuan.
There is no need for Zhan Qinghuan to defend others with a calm face. After all, Mrs. Pei's current attitude does not seem to require others to defend her. Since this is the case, there is no need for Zhan Qinghuan to waste time for her.
I just don't know if Geng Hongbo will be distressed that the big lawyer's fee in the back has not arrived.
Pei Jinyao didn't want to force Zhan Qinghuan to do anything, so she didn't say anything to keep her.
When Zhan Qinghuan closed the notebook and was about to put away all the materials and leave, the old lady Pei suddenly smiled sullenly: "Is this your professionalism?"
Zhan Qinghuan pursed her lips, still sat on the chair and turned her head to look at the old lady Pei, obviously not accepting the offer: "My professionalism is only effective for the client who cooperates with me. You are arrogant and refuse to answer my questions seriously. Question, what can I do, I feel sorry for the legal fees paid by Mr. Pei."
One must know that regardless of whether the lawsuit has been held or not, Zhan Qinghuan has paid the corresponding labor, and Pei Jinyao has to be paid by the hour.
After saying this, Zhan Qinghuan couldn't help but look back at Pei Jinyao, and then put all the information on the table into the briefcase.
There was a glass between them, old lady Pei glanced at Pei Jinyao who was standing behind with a calm expression, her face changed slightly, instead of looking at Zhan Qinghuan, she raised her head slightly and said to Pei Jinyao: "Ayao, this It's the girl you've been following for so many years, do you really like her so much?"
When Zhan Qinghuan heard this sentence, she paused to collect the recording. She felt that although she might not be able to ask anything today, she might know a lot about some things about the Pei family.
"Grandma, whether I like her or not has nothing to do with your case. If you want to come out, I believe in her ability, but you don't have to sow discord in front of me and her. My heart for her will never change. "
The old lady Pei gritted her teeth when she heard this, and regardless of Zhan Qinghuan still here, she angrily changed the subject: "You have already calculated every step before entering Pei's house, everyone in Pei's It's your pawns, including me! When you were underage, it was considered accurate. When you were young, you took the equity from me, saying that you wanted to let those uncles and nephews of the Pei family go, but you secretly saved them. You are a wolf. !"
Zhan Qinghuan looked at Mrs. Pei from the left, and Pei Jinyao from the right, eating melons in silence.
Pei Jinyao took two steps forward to the old lady Pei, and said with a light smile, "Grandma, I have done everything you asked me to do. I have cleaned up the internal turmoil in the Pei family for you, and those moths have completely left Pei. Family, as for those relatives you hate, they are already a mess without the tree of the Pei family, isn't it good?"
Pei Jinyao has always been very ruthless in doing things, Zhan Qinghuan knows this, she and Mrs. Pei are in the same line.
Seeing the remorseful look in the eyes of the old lady opposite, Zhan Qinghuan felt that she must be thinking about luring the wolf into the house.
Pei Jinyao has never been kind, she is very bad, Zhan Qinghuan already knew this.
"So you clean up the Pei family, and then deal with me." The old lady Pei's tone was firm, as if she didn't need to guess at all, and she had seen through Pei Jinyao's skills over the years.
Pei Jinyao is sophisticated and has a very long-term vision. Often, she can think of more than ten steps after thinking about it for a few steps. No one can compare with this kind of heart, even she is in her heart.
Pei Jinyao moved a chair and sat next to Zhan Qinghuan, and said in a deep voice, "Grandma, I never thought of dealing with you, but you saw that I was getting more and more uncontrollable, and wanted to find someone to replace me, didn't you? "
The old lady Pei was told her thoughts, she lowered her eyes and stopped looking at Pei Jinyao, but her expression was still serious.
Zhan Qinghuan suddenly felt that this place was simply a stage for their grandparents and grandchildren, what did she ask her to come here as an outsider?You don't need her to act, but let her come to the show instead?
Although this scene is pretty good to watch, from their descriptions, Zhan Qinghuan can feel an indescribable sadness.
Mrs. Pei married Mr. Pei when she was very young. At that time, she was still a nurse. Mr. Pei was injured on the battlefield. It was her little care that made Mr. Pei's health better and better. .
At that time, Mr. Pei was also getting old. After the war, he married Mrs. Pei and gave birth to a boy. Many years later, Mrs. Pei gave birth to a girl, and that girl was Pei Jinyao's mother. Pei Mi.
Pei Mi is about the same age as her uncle's grandchildren, so Pei Jinyao's current generation is so high in Pei's family.
Pei Jinyao's mother did not end well. Like her mother, she fell in love with an old man and gave birth to a child for him, but that man abandoned her. Mrs. Pei felt that she had lost the Pei family, so Pei Jinyao Mi Mi commits suicide, and Pei Jinyao lives in an orphanage ever since.
Mrs. Pei's son was very weak, did not give birth to a son or a daughter, and passed away when he was in his teens. The line of the Pei family did not continue, but Mr. Pei's brother's children were eager to move, wanting to To use various methods to share Pei's share of the pie, Pei's gradually became chaotic.
That's why Mrs. Pei hates those relatives of the Pei family so much.
After Mr. Pei's death, she supported Pei's family alone. In order to guard against those open and dark arrows, she had to be cold-hearted. In the end, a friend of hers accidentally mentioned it, and she remembered that her daughter had given birth to a child. .
This child's whereabouts are unknown now, but it is her only blood after all, so she must find it.
Only after Pei Jinyao came back did Mrs. Pei realize what a terrible person she had found.
She couldn't control the child, and at the same time, the woman's jealousy was at work.
Mrs. Pei has worked so hard for so many years, but she can't solve the relatives of the Pei family, but she was swept away by this junior?
She wanted to wait for Pei Jinyao to stabilize everything, and then find a smart child to teach him slowly so that he can guard Pei's family, but she didn't expect such a sudden change.
Pei Wan is the granddaughter of Mr. Pei's elder brother. She has no blood relationship with Mrs. Pei, but because of her father's education for so many years, she thinks Mrs. Pei is an old witch.
Although she thought this old hag was her elder in her heart, she hated Mrs. Pei.
Mrs. Pei has been in charge of the Pei family for so many years and refuses to let go. If their family came to take over the Pei family, how could they end up in the current situation of being kicked out of the Pei family.
Pei Wan hates old lady Pei, and old lady Pei naturally hates the Pei family who can do nothing but ask for money.
So when Pei Wan came in with a knife, after hearing Pei Wan's accusations, the old lady Pei beat the knife off Pei Wan with a cane. Because of years of training, the old lady Pei's strength is no weaker than Pei Wan , So when she got the knife, thinking about all the anger and grievances she had suffered in the Pei family for so many years, she burst out and pierced Pei Wan's internal organs one by one, causing Pei Wan to die on the spot.
It was only later that Mrs. Pei realized that this was the purpose of Pei Jinyao to eradicate the moths in Pei's family.
Mrs. Pei obviously belongs to the kind of person who likes conspiracy theories very much.
Those relatives of the Pei family lost their positions in the Pei family, and the Pei family lost their support when they drove them out. Now the person who manages the Pei family is Pei Jinyao, and Mrs. Pei is the one who brought Pei Jinyao home. Naturally, everyone in the Pei family hated Mrs. Pei, but they didn't dare to do anything to Pei Jinyao.
Not long after Pei Jinyao came back, Mrs. Pei gave Pei Jinyao some rights to see if she had any ambitions or desires, but she never thought that Pei Jinyao would always send someone to find out about a girl.
That girl, Mrs. Pei, has read her profile. She can be regarded as a very prestigious socialite in Lecheng. Both her father and mother have very good family backgrounds. There are also two older brothers on top of her. It can be said that she is loved by thousands of people. with a suit.
What surprised Mrs. Pei most was that such a girl has done a lot of good deeds. There is even a charitable foundation underneath, which raises a lot of money every year, and the accounts are very open and transparent.
Why on earth does such a girl, Pei Jinyao, pay attention to her?
At first, Mrs. Pei thought that Pei Jinyao was envious of her, but then she slowly realized that something was wrong.
The look in Pei Jinyao's eyes when he looked at the girl's photo wasn't envy, it was clearly admiration.
Although Mrs. Pei didn't want to lead everything in that direction, she still believed in the facts she saw, so she asked Pei Jinyao to go to the study to explain to her.
Pei Jinyao admitted it generously. She said that she has liked girls since a long time ago, it can be said that she was in school. Although girls don't like her now, she will impress her with her sincerity.
Mrs. Pei almost had a heart attack after hearing it.
Of course, Pei Jinyao also expected the old lady Pei's reaction. After supporting the old lady Pei, she quickly stuffed a few quick-acting heart-relief pills into her mouth, and then said to the old lady Pei: "Grandma, no one can stop me from being with her. Together."
When she returned to Pei's house, she had already made it very clear that when she was strong enough, Mrs. Pei could not force her to marry or get married in any way. At that time, Mrs. Pei knew that Pei Jinyao had just returned to Pei's house and needed to It's enough to make her feel at ease, and even set up a written proof. I didn't expect Pei Jinyao to be here waiting for her.
Mrs. Pei also knew that she couldn't control Pei Jinyao anymore, and now the entire Pei family was under her control, and those who held important positions in the Pei family were basically Pei Jinyao's confidantes.
Her time as an old man is over.
"You're thinking all the time to be with this girl, but she knows you're such a calculating person, do you think she'll accept you?"
The old lady Pei still doesn't want Pei Jinyao to be with a woman, even though that woman's family background is innocent, and she is good enough in person, if Pei Jinyao is a man, it's okay, how can the same sex fall in love?How can there be offspring like this?
Mrs. Pei's thoughts obviously haven't changed, and no one can make her change.
Zhan Qinghuan saw that they were talking there, and they actually talked about herself, and she was speechless.
"I'm already the worst in her heart, grandma." Pei Jinyao glanced at Zhan Qinghuan, and Zhan Qinghuan looked away, showing obvious rejection.
Seeing that Pei Jinyao could not be made to give up at all, the old lady Pei turned her head and asked Zhan Qinghuan: "So what are you planning, my granddaughter's money or appearance? Or what can the Pei family bring to you?!"
Zhan Qinghuan heard the very familiar words of the old lady Pei, and the anger in her heart rose little by little.
She remembered something bad.
At that time, she had just escaped from Pei Jinyao, and was tied up by the old lady Pei not long after. She sent herself to Pei Jinyao's wedding, smiling very proudly and happily.
Thinking of this, Zhan Qinghuan put a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, raised his eyes and glanced at Pei Jinyao, but did not look at the old lady Pei: "I don't like your granddaughter, if she didn't invite me from Lecheng this time, I would I won't wade into the muddy water of your Pei family, the Pei family is not a piece of gold, you take the Pei family too seriously."
Hearing what Zhan Qinghuan said, Mrs. Pei obviously thought they were acting for her, her eyes were completely red.
Mrs. Pei's hair is messy now, and she is in a state of madness. She stood up and said loudly through the glass: "What are you, you are not allowed to say that about the Pei family!"
Zhan Qinghuan closed her eyes and rubbed her temples a little. The prison guards outside saw that Mrs. Pei came over emotionally and took her away, so the conversation was nothing.
Although this old lady Pei is an elder, Zhan Qinghuan still wants to call an old lunatic.
She regards the Pei family as her life, and puts the reputation of the Pei family at the top, so what Pei Jinyao is doing now makes her gratified and angry.
What is gratifying is that she manages the Pei family very well, but what is angry is that Pei Jinyao not only does not listen to her own words, but even wants to be with a woman regardless of ethics.
It was indeed old lady Pei's mistake to kill Pei Wan, but it couldn't change anything.
She had no way to stop Pei Jinyao from doing anything.
Now the Pei family is dominated by Pei Jinyao.
After leaving the detention center, it was already drizzling outside. Pei Jinyao opened an umbrella from his assistant and stood with Zhan Qinghuan.
Zhan Qinghuan took a deep breath, looked at the hazy scenery in the distance, and asked, "So does she need to defend now?"
"Just follow the most routine, she doesn't care about it anymore, although I hope she can spend the rest of her life not in prison."
"In fact, it's okay to be innocent, but she is obviously not willing to cooperate with me." Zhan Qinghuan sighed softly, then turned to look at Pei Jinyao: "Come back to the hotel with me, I have many things to ask you."
"Know everything and answer."
Although Zhan Qinghuan told the old lady Pei that she looked down on Pei Jinyao and it made her sad, but she still has to be cheeky to make more presence around Zhan Qinghuan in order to drive away all those doctors .
Zhan Qinghuan is too lazy to work on this case now. She came to Sucheng with feelings and prepared the materials for so long. She originally thought that the old lady would like to come out. Since she didn't want to come out, she wouldn't force herself to give it to her. Even if there is a lawsuit, she doesn't want to offend the prosecutor.
After ordering an afternoon tea, Zhan Qinghuan picked up a cup of black tea and took a sip to relieve her tired body and mind.
Seeing Pei Jinyao's appearance of a primary school student waiting to draw a question, the corners of Zhan Qinghuan's lips curved slightly.
"Your Pei family is really interesting."
He is so greedy for profit that he can do everything for money and power, which makes people dumbfounded.
"The Pei family was founded by my grandfather. His brother is much older than him. The two brothers had a good relationship, but the children of my grandfather's brother have coveted the Pei family for a long time. My grandmother had to come out to preside over the overall situation and not let Pei home into those people."
Mr. Pei's elder brother is nearly 20 years older than him. When Mr. Pei first married Mrs. Pei, his brother's children were about the same age as Mrs. Pei. They looked down on Mrs. Pei, and Mrs. Pei naturally looked down on her too. fuck her.
Pei Wan was only ten years younger than Mrs. Pei, and her body was not as good as Mrs. Pei's. Years of extravagant life made her lazy, so she was killed by Mrs. Pei.
The Pei family was originally a mess of bad debts, and now it is because Mrs. Pei killed Pei Wan. Those members of the Pei family used all kinds of connections to get Mrs. Pei to pay for Pei Wan's life, but Pei Jinyao still hoped that Mrs. Pei could Spend your old age in peace.
It's just that now Mrs. Pei is full of resentment. She seems to have seen through everything. She hates everyone, the people of the Pei family, and even more Pei Jinyao.
Old lady Pei didn't know what she had done to Pei Jinyao and Zhan Qinghuan in her previous life, but after knowing that Pei Jinyao liked Zhan Qinghuan, she felt an inexplicable hostility towards Zhan Qinghuan in her heart.
She had sent someone to "invite" Zhan Qinghuan over to have a good talk with her, but Pei Jinyao's people arrested the old lady Pei's subordinates and even sent them to the police station.
Zhan Qinghuan was silent for a while after listening to Pei Jinyao's narration, as if she didn't know what to say.
Sitting in the soft chair and looking at Pei Jinyao's face, she suddenly remembered that she was no longer the Pei Jinyao when she was young.
So no matter what she does, she naturally has her own considerations. She sent so many people by Zhan Qinghuan's side to prevent Mrs. Pei, because she knew Mrs. Pei's position, so she had to arrange everything first to ensure Zhan Qinghuan's safety.
Knowing all this, Zhan Qinghuan not only did not feel relaxed, but also felt extremely heavy in her heart.
Pei Jinyao seemed to be able to see what Zhan Qinghuan was thinking at this time, and immediately said: "Qing Huan, you don't need to feel burdened, these are all the faults of the Pei family, and it is the best thing to me that you have not suffered any harm." Good thing."
Zhan Qinghuan can't say any complaints now, she leaned on the soft chair and closed her eyes after finishing the cup of black tea. Pei Jinyao knew how intense Zhan Qinghuan's work was during this time, so she took it from the side. He took off the blanket and put it on Zhan Qinghuan, then left quietly.
This meeting with Zhan Qinghuan seems to have given Mrs. Pei a lot of stimulation. After meeting Zhan Qinghuan, she only had one crazy idea in her mind. She can't let these two girls be together, she wants to stop them!
She can't let the Pei family's reputation be ruined!This is her painstaking effort for so many years. If she wants to go out, she doesn't want to pay her life for a lazy woman like Pei Wan.
So Mrs. Pei told what happened at that time like beans poured out of a bamboo tube.
Originally, she thought in her heart that she didn't care if she was old or not. She had deliberately killed Pei Wan to relieve her hatred, but now she felt that she still had a lot of things to do, and she couldn't stay in prison and die of old age.
But Zhan Qinghuan didn't want to take this case anymore, so she invited her master Geng Hongbo over.
When Geng Hongbo heard Zhan Qinghuan say that he could not take this case, he was still puzzled, and asked: "Did you encounter something that you can't solve? Tell me, and I will give you an idea."
Zhan Qinghuan felt that she was very lucky to meet Geng Hongbo, a master, but she didn't want to take on this case not because she couldn't solve it or because she was not capable enough, but because she had actually had an intersection with Mrs. Pei in her previous life. The old lady didn't feel very good to her.
This is also the case in this life. Mrs. Pei is in prison, even if she is her defense lawyer, she still has such great hostility towards herself. After Zhan Qinghuan heard all the truth that Pei Jinyao said, there is no way I did my best to help Mrs. Pei fight this lawsuit.
Or it could be said that Zhan Qinghuan had a gap in her heart towards Old Mrs. Pei.
She knew that it was very bad for her to do so, but Zhan Qinghuan still felt that Mrs. Pei would be rebellious and even refused to cooperate when she saw her, so there was no need for her to appear in front of Mrs. Pei again, to annoy her and annoy herself.
After Pei Jinyao knew that Zhan Qinghuan didn't want to take this case, he also expressed his understanding, and at the same time asked Zhan Qinghuan very remorsefully: "Did I do something wrong again?"
Zhan Qinghuan didn't answer Pei Jinyao's words, she just wanted to leave Sucheng immediately after this matter was over.
Pei Jinyao knew Zhan Qinghuan's thoughts in his heart, but there was no way to stop it.
The people from the Pei family are still putting pressure on it, and Pei Jinyao's life is actually not that easy now. It is thanks to Pei Wan's husband's family that Mrs. Pei was able to be transferred to the procuratorate so quickly.
Now they want Mrs. Pei to die, how can Mrs. Pei do what they want.
So people's hearts are always unpredictable, you never know what thoughts will pop up in their minds in the next second.
"Master, it's my own problem. Some things happened before that caused some conflicts between me and the defendant, so I can't continue to take this case. The defendant may have a certain hatred towards me and will not cooperate with me. Work, see if there are any free lawyers in the firm, please ask them to come over."
After listening to Zhan Qinghuan's words, Geng Hongbo was silent for a while.
Zhan Qinghuan's character, Geng Hongbo, has naturally understood after leading her in the past few years. This child is very resilient, and the more complicated the case, the more she will face the difficulties.
In Geng Hongbo's view, this case is not difficult. He has read the file before, and the defendant's family members have indicated that Zhan Qinghuan should be the one to defend. Geng Hongbo also feels that according to Zhan Qinghuan's strength, she can be taken down.
But since Zhan Qinghuan will take the initiative to tell Geng Hongbo, he can't sit idly by.
Hatred?
When Zhan Qinghuan was working, the defendant would definitely not cooperate with Zhan Qinghuan, the work became more difficult, and Zhan Qinghuan was also tired.
After thinking for a while, Geng Hongbo asked, "Have you prepared all the materials?"
"Yes, if you send someone over, you can pick it up directly." Zhan Qinghuan and her assistant brought over the materials and files related to the case, as well as the things that Mrs. Pei said were useful to the case.
Geng Hongbo knew Zhan Qinghuan's efficiency. He glanced at his schedule and said to Zhan Qinghuan, "Then I'll come over to talk about this case. The trial of the first trial is coming soon. We have to race against time."
Zhan Qinghuan didn't expect Geng Hongbo to go out in person, and at the same time felt very warm in her heart, she smiled and said, "Okay."
Geng Hongbo could feel Zhan Qinghuan's slightly depressed mood, and comforted him over the phone: "Qing Huan, it's fine, it's already very good that you can take the initiative to tell this matter, not being brave is one of the wisdom in life. "
Zhan Qinghuan couldn't tell that Geng Hongbo was comforting her and said "thank you".
Geng Hongbo flew to Sioux City that afternoon and brought an assistant with him. When Zhan Qinghuan handed him all the files, he asked, "Master, can I be your assistant?"
"of course can."
So a total of four of them began to study the case of Mrs. Pei. When Geng Hongbo went to see Mrs. Pei, Mrs. Pei seemed relieved. Knowing that her lawyer had changed, she was very cooperative and dealt with the matter at that time. I told Geng Hongbo all about it.
Zhan Qinghuan guessed this would happen, so it wasn't a big surprise, but Geng Hongbo could see that the defendant's family seemed to have some interest in Zhan Qinghuan, but Geng Hongbo didn't want to ask more questions at this time.
When Mrs. Pei was talking about the evidence, she pointed out a very important thing, that is, although there was no surveillance in her room, there was a recording.
Geng Hongbo asked her why she didn't mention this when she was taking the statement at the police station. Mrs. Pei only said that she was old, and she was too flustered at that time, so she forgot it for a while.
That way the case would be settled.
Pei Jinyao knew that she didn't want to disturb Zhan Qinghuan and the others when they were working, but she still cared about their living environment, and specially opened a room for them as an office area, equipped with a computer and a printer. class of equipment.
With the help of Pei Jinyao, they also got the recording of Mrs. Pei's words. It was Zhan Qinghuan's first visit to Pei's old house.
The Pei family's old house occupies a very large area. It can be seen that it used to be a big family in the south of the Yangtze River. The courtyard and pavilions are self-contained, and it can be used as a tourist attraction.
The recording was under Mrs. Pei's desk. I don't know if this is the habit of rich people.
"Do you want to stay for a while?" Pei Jinyao looked very hospitable, but the four of them shook their heads.
In fact, they couldn't figure out why Pei Jinyao didn't go to a local lawyer in Sioux City but went to Lecheng to find Zhan Qinghuan to defend her. Zhan Qinghuan had a conflict with her grandmother.
Pei Jinyao's attitude towards Zhan Qinghuan is also very imaginative, as if Zhan Qinghuan is the object of her pursuit.
In such a busy state, Mrs. Pei's case finally came to court.
It can be seen that she had a pretty good life in prison. Although she looked tired, she was clean and tidy overall, thanks to Pei Jinyao's management.
The people of the Pei family tried their best to send Mrs. Pei to prison, hoping that the prosecution would convict her quickly, but Pei Jinyao also has contacts in Sucheng, so they won't let them succeed so easily.
On the day of the court session, Zhan Qinghuan didn't go, but gummed in the hotel.
During this period of time, she always stayed in the hotel and didn't go out. The air conditioner in the hotel was turned on very loudly. Sometimes she forgot to add clothes and caught a cold accidentally.
Originally, Pei Jinyao wanted to stay and take care of Zhan Qinghuan, but Zhan Qinghuan shook her head, saying that she would go back to Lecheng directly after Pei Jinyao stayed here, which forced Pei Jinyao away.
Pei Jinyao was very worried about Zhan Qinghuan, and contacted the family doctor to give Zhan Qinghuan a checkup. She also knew that as the granddaughter of Mrs. Pei, she would be criticized if she didn't appear in court.
Geng Hongbo is a very experienced old lawyer. He knows that Mrs. Pei is old now, and she is a passive murderer. From the recording submitted by Mrs. Pei, it can be clearly heard that Mrs. Pei When Wan entered the door with a knife, she said very bluntly: "You old witch, you ruined my Pei family. You brought that bastard Pei Jinyao home just to eat away at the Pei family. What kind of surname is she? Yes, she should take her father's surname!"
"She has the blood of my Pei family, so why can't she be named Pei?" The old lady's voice was hoarse but sounded confident. Her crutch seemed to have knocked on the floor at this moment, making a muffled sound.
Pei Wan seemed to be even more angry when she heard these words, her voice approached a little, and her voice was mixed with a serious noise: "She is my family's surname! You are just coveting the property of the Pei family, you don't care The Pei family has not been reconciled for so many years, and even asked your granddaughter to drive us away, why!?"
"Why? Huh!" The old lady Pei was obviously irritated by Pei Wan's questioning, she stood up and said, "Your Pei family can only do stupid things! If I hadn't tried my best to turn the tide back then, the Pei family would have been punished by your father." Ruined! Can you still travel and shop as comfortably as you do now? You think so beautifully! The Pei family belongs to my husband, why should your father take it?!"
As if being poked at a sore spot, Pei Wan's breathing was obviously very rapid, she stared at the old lady Pei, her eyes were red: "You old bastard, I'll kill you!"
Then there was a mess of noises, the sound of the knife being hit on the carpet and the sound of Mrs. Pei's crutch hitting someone, then the sound of scuffling, and finally the sound of the knife piercing into the flesh.
The recording came suddenly, and Geng Hongbo also presented evidence that Pei Wan had a history of drug abuse, but the prosecutor said that this evidence had nothing to do with the case, and the defendant could not prove that Pei Wan had a history of drug abuse before entering Pei Yanzimei's study with a knife. drug use.
Next, Geng Hongbo took out another document, proving that Mrs. Pei had certain mental problems, she couldn't control her emotions, and she would never have done such a thing if it wasn't provoked by others, so in When it came down to Pei Wan, her mind couldn't distinguish everything.
After the court debate, Mrs. Pei gave the statement of the defendant. She said that the situation was very chaotic at that time, she did not expect such serious consequences, and she felt that she was not guilty.
The judge saw the wrinkled face of the old man, as well as the expression of sadness and pain and self-reproach, and nodded to express his understanding.
Pei Yanzimei is an elderly lady. Geng Hongbo advocated self-defense and did not constitute the crime of intentional injury, and asked the court to acquit the defendant according to law.
In the recording, Pei Wan directly stated that she was going to kill Pei Yan Zimei. Article 20 of the Criminal Law stipulates that for assaults, homicides, robberies, rapes, kidnappings, and other violent crimes that seriously endanger personal safety, defensive behavior must be taken. Causing casualties to unlawful infringers is not considered excessive self-defense and shall not bear criminal responsibility.
The prosecutor's brows were deeply frowned, this is another headache case.
It was already night when Zhan Qinghuan woke up, she was covered with a thick quilt, and she was sweating all over.
Seeing that the breathing light was on, she brought it over, stretched a little, and then turned it on. It was Geng Hongbo's message: the punishment was exempted in the first instance, and the possibility of the prosecution's protest was not ruled out.
Zhan Qinghuan was not surprised by this result, but she was curious about how old lady Pei would cooperate with Geng Hongbo's request.
To put it bluntly, Geng Hongbo's idiomatic method is to make the parties suffer, and use sympathy to achieve the purpose of commuting the sentence.
Although generally speaking, it is useless, but at least let the parties put their attitude there.
Zhan Qinghuan replied with a good word, and then saw several text messages from Pei Jinyao: The first trial is over, thank you and your master.
With no news of Pei Jinyao's reply, Zhan Qinghuan put it back on the bedside table to order a meal for herself and then went to wash up.
There will basically not be much difference between the second trial and the first trial, unless the prosecution finds some other evidence of Mrs. Pei.
Geng Hongbo said that intentionally hurting the viscera was not a deliberate plan because he knew the structure of the human body because he was a nurse back then.
Fortunately, Zhan Qinghuan is young and in good health. After sleeping and sweating all over, his mind clears up. Geng Hongbo said that he couldn't bear the rainy weather in Sucheng, so he asked Zhan Qinghuan to help him here first. He took care of things and came back after the second trial.
But the prosecution did not contest.
After Mrs. Pei was released, some members of Pei's family were obviously not convinced, but several of them were criminally detained for bribing public officials.
Now that the case is over, Pei Jinyao has no choice but to stay by Zhan Qinghuan's side. Zhan Qinghuan, who returns to Lecheng, feels as if her whole body has come alive, and she is indescribably satisfied and comfortable.
After Mrs. Pei came back from prison and returned to Pei's house, she thought that everything would still be the same as before, and she wanted to continue with her plan, which was to keep Pei Jinyao and Zhan Qinghuan from being together, but she found that all the servants in the family were killed. Instead, even Aunt Qiong, who had been with her for many years, was sent back to her hometown.
All of this was naturally done by Pei Jinyao. The old lady Pei was very angry, saying that Pei Jinyao didn't take her seriously now, and said that she wanted to see Zhan Qinghuan so that she could see how Pei Jinyao treated her. How bad it is, keep her away from Pei Jinyao.
Pei Jinyao sighed softly. Mrs. Pei did have a mental illness, but she didn't discover it herself. Previously, Pei Jinyao had always wondered why Mrs. Pei was so stubborn. Feel that the world is impermanent.
All the things she couldn't control in her previous life have been dealt with in this life. The Pei family has settled down. The most unstable factor, Mrs. Pei, is now living in the old house of the Pei family. Pei Jinyao has hired a well-known nurse to ensure that Pei The daily life of the old lady, and at the same time, the old lady Pei will not be exposed to those sharp
