L.A.W.

VIP room on the top floor of the Marriott Hotel.

"This is Secretary Liu." Wang Lei led the man behind him into the private room.

"Secretary Liu, hello!" Yan Jingxi stepped forward with a smile on his face.

"Don't look outside, we are all our own people, just call me Chu Tao." Liu Chutao sat by the window.

"Brother Tao, drink some tea first." Yan Jingxi filled a cup of green tea for him.

Liu Chutao kowtowed his fingers to express his thanks, "If it wasn't for your reminder, this incident would be quite heartwarming."

"I told you that Lawyer Yan is the best." Wang Lei lit a cigar.

"Both of you are overwhelmed." Yan Jingxi took a sip of the tea, the aroma was overflowing, "The last time was just wrong."

"I heard that you recently took on a difficult case." Liu Chutao asked with concern.

"Brother Tao is really well informed." Yan Jingxi glanced back at Liu Chutao, "There is some trouble."

"Actually, it's not the first time that the hospital where Luo Qian lived did such a thing." Liu Chutao avoided Yan Jingxi's gaze, squinted at Wang Lei, "Leizi, isn't it?"

"Haha!" Wang Lei fiddled with the Zippo lighter in his hand, "Don't worry, I will definitely help with this!"

"Then I would like to thank you two in advance. If you need help in the future, just let me know." Yan Jingxi added tea for Wang Lei, "Mr. Wang eats shrimp dumplings, the signature dish here!"

"Lawyer Yan is too introverted, just call me Leizi!" Wang Lei picked up a shrimp dumpling, the delicious juice overflowed after biting into it, and the thumb-sized shrimp was refreshing.

"Then you two don't call me Lawyer Yan, haha!" Yan Jingxi pushed the steamer filled with shrimp dumplings in front of Liu Chutao, "Brother Tao, pick up your chopsticks!"

"Okay, I'm welcome too!" Liu Chutao picked up the chopsticks, "Jingxi, I wonder if you are interested in being our legal adviser?"

"Huh?" Yan Jingxi raised his eyes, "You also know that I mainly fight criminal lawsuits. Civil lawsuits and economic claims are not my strong point. I'm afraid it's because I'm powerless."

"Don't worry about that, we have a team with talents in all aspects." Wang Lei patted Yan Jingxi on the shoulder, "Especially a rare talent like you."

"Jingxi, don't refuse this, and it won't affect the operation of your law firm, and there's no need to have trouble with money, right?" Liu Chutao pointed to Wang Lei and said, "Leizi's words today are the most reliable, like Jingxi's. This kind of talent is really rare.”

"Old Liu, do you mean that I am usually unreliable?" Wang Lei looked at Liu Chutao dissatisfied.

"For you have self-knowledge!" Liu Chutao laughed.

"It's rare that the two elder brothers value the younger brother, so I'd rather be obedient than respectful." Yan Jingxi picked up the cup, "I will replace wine with tea, and drink first as a respect."

"My family, don't be polite! Pick up your chopsticks!" Liu Chutao put a piece of "Baiyun Phoenix Claw" in his mouth, "This is my favorite."

"That would require two more cages," Yan Jingxi said.

"Two cages are not enough!" Wang Lei looked at Liu Chutao with a smirk on his face, "At least two dozen! Squeeze him to death!"

The three of them talked and laughed happily while eating.

Criminal Investigation Section.

"Everybody!" Hearing the ecstasy voice, Zhao Jiefei felt a headache and couldn't help stretching out his hand to caress his forehead. The only comfort is that wherever Yu Zheng appears, there will be something to eat.

Li Shi caught Yu Zhenguo as soon as he stepped in with a soup pot in his arms, "Put down the soup, hold it back for me!"

"I can't hold back!" Yu Zheng put down the soup pot, cupped his hands and begged, "Big brothers, when will your gas station robbery case be solved?"

"The case is not something you want to solve, you can solve it!" Liu Hua humming the tune of "Love Trading" came over and lifted the lid of the soup pot, "What soup?"

"Pork fan bones with green olives and white radish, clearing away heat and moistening the throat." Yu Zheng served soup for everyone, "The boss gave a deadline, what do you think the judge should do?"

"Who gave the deadline?" Zhao Jiefei took a sip of the soup, "It tastes good!"

"Provincial Office!" Yu Zheng pulled up a chair and sat in front of him.

"Yeah!" Zhao Jiefei nodded, raised his eyes and looked at Yu Zheng, "Then let him break it!"

"Pfft~" The others couldn't help laughing.

"Hey! Aren't you cheating?" Yu Zheng sighed, holding his fat chin, "I'm so miserable!"

"Are you still crying for your life?" Li Shi squeezed his neck from behind, "Nimei! I sigh and play games every day in the office."

"But..." Yu Zheng looked at Li Shi with a sad face, "I am a sandwich class."

"Still talking hard!" Li Shi glared at him, and raised his fist as if to beat him.

"Shitou, don't play tricks on him." Zhao Jiefei called to stop Li Shi, "Ju Yu, it's not that we don't work."

"I know this." Yu Zheng pointed his fingers, "But the pressure is tight, and the provinces that involve gun cases pay special attention."

"There are only so many people for two cases." Zhao Jiefei turned his pen, "I'm not Wukong, so I can't change a few."

"Oh~" Yu Zheng sighed again.

"Zhengzheng! Don't sigh anymore~" Liu Hua put his shoulders on him, and pointed to the trees outside the window, "The leaves are almost falling."

"Liu Hua, arrange for Guo Mingxiang to hurry up and see if he can find any clues." Zhao Jiefei asked, "How did you find out about the case in Huang Zhixiong's building?"

"Huang Zhixiong's mother-in-law has recently suffered from Alzheimer's disease and has memory problems."

"Be more specific." Zhao Jiefei pinched his knuckles and made a "cracking" sound. Yu Zheng sat opposite and took out a bag of peanuts from his pocket and chewed them.

"It's just that I can't remember recent events, but I can remember distant events."

"Then what did she remember?"

"The Japanese army invaded China, and she wanted to hide. It should have happened in her childhood." Liu Hua added: "The neighbors reported that she often yelled 'the devil has entered the village' in the middle of the night, and the whole building was noisy with drums and gongs. Awake."

"How is Huang Zhixiong's reaction?"

"Be angry, scold her a lot!"

Zhao Jiefei closed his eyes and thought for a while, "It seems that I have to go to Huang Zhixiong's house."

"Do you have a new idea?"

"Hmm~" Zhao Jiefei had already picked up the gun, "Let's talk while walking!"

"Okay!" Liu Hua kicked Yu Zheng who was dozing off after eating peanuts, "Zheng Zheng, go back to your office and sleep."

Yu Zheng rubbed his eyes, and lazily moved back to his office.

G City Intermediate People's Court.

"Lawyer Wang, will there be a second trial?" Luo Xiong walked up the long stone steps outside the court, "You can't let my brother Luo Qian be released."

"Mr. Luo, don't worry about this!" Wang Xuehua patted Luo Xiong's shoulder, "We won the case in the first trial, and there will be no trouble in the second trial."

"It's better like this, I really don't want to lose the fat in my mouth like this." The two walked side by side in the narrow corridor leading to the court, and Yan Jingxi and his assistant came to meet them.

"Lawyer Yan, let's meet again." Wang Xuehua raised his eyebrows.

"Haha~" Yan Jingxi smirked twice, carrying the bag in one hand and putting the other in his trouser pocket, "I didn't expect that we would appeal so soon."

"I really don't care when you appeal, because I don't have to worry about you winning me." Wang Xuehua rolled his eyes and pressed his hand on his chest, a huge diamond shining brightly, "My reputation in the industry is not bad for you." Know."

"That's right! Lawyer Wang's name has been known for a long time." Yan Jingxi raised his hand to look at his watch, leaned over and made a "please" gesture to Wang Xuehua, "Hurry up and start the court, let's talk in court."

"Okay!" Wang Xuehua walked into the courtroom with her head held high and her chest held high, wearing a slim suit with an A-line skirt and high heels.

In the courtroom, the presiding judge Hua Ling sat on it holding her breath.

"I am filing an appeal on behalf of my client, Luo Qian." Yan Jingxi straightened his clothes and feet, and stood up, "The defendant Luo Xiong, together with Liang Shijie, the director of the G City Mental Hospital, and Ruan Bin, the attending doctor, determined that my client, Luo Qian, was suffering from mental illness. Mentally ill, people who restrict civil behavior are deprived of property inheritance rights, I only represent my client to the court to request a psychiatric appraisal by a judicial authentication agency.”

"I object!" Wang Xuehua stood up and objected.

"The defense, please state your reasons." Hua Ling signaled Wang Xuehua to explain.

"G City Psychiatric Hospital is the most authoritative psychiatric appraisal institution in our city. The attending doctor Ruan Bin is a qualified psychiatrist. Their judgment is unquestionable." Wang Xuehua presented their resumes, education and other relevant certificates to the judge. , "It is obviously unreasonable for the prosecution to propose another appraisal."

"I absolutely believe in the professional level of Dean Liang Shijie and Ruan Bin." Yan Jingxi's peachy eyes under his sword eyebrows became sharper, "However, I question their conduct."

"I object!" Wang Xuehua raised her eyebrows, "The statement made by the prosecution is a personal attack and slander of others."

Hua Ling looked at Yan Jingxi, "Please pay attention to your words."

"I'm sorry! Everything I stated was not fabricated out of thin air." Yan Jingxi took the IPAD that his assistant Xiaoguo gave him. "This is our newly obtained evidence. The information in it definitely has reasons to doubt their fairness."

Wang Xuehua took a deep breath and stared at Yan Jingxi. He raised the IPAD, which was playing a video shot with a pinhole camera.

********

In the dean's office, a man was stuffing money into the pocket of Dean Liang's white coat, "Dean Liang, just accept her!"

"She's fine, how can I accept her?" Dean Liang half backed and half said.

"You say she has something to do, and this woman can't stay, otherwise, how can my lover sit upright." The man pointed to Dean Liang, and then pointed to himself, "God knows, you know, I know, we don't know." Say, who would know!"

"Oh! Don't be an example~" Dean Liang smiled and collected the money, "Just leave this matter to Ruan Bin, you don't have to worry about it."

"After my mother-in-law is locked in." The man rubbed his hands, "You and Dr. Ruan must be thankful."

"Okay!" Dean Liang patted the man on the shoulder, "I thank him first."

********

Yan Jingxi turned off the video and put down the IPAD, "Now everyone knows what kind of people are Dean Liang Shijie and Dr. Ruan Bin who have professional appraisal qualifications. We have every reason to believe that my client is also 'mentally ill'."

"I object!" Wang Xuehua, who was severely hit by the new evidence, forced himself to deal with it calmly, "It was just an independent incident, and the prosecution's coverage was partial. There is no reason to question all the diagnoses."

"The defense, please make it clear that my client is not trying to sue Dean Liang Shijie and Dr. Ruan Bin for accepting bribes. From the perspective of protecting my client's legal rights, there is absolutely a reason to ask for a new appraisal." Yan Jingxi raised his chin slightly, "As for The two of them accepting bribes is a matter for discipline inspection."

The presiding judge, Hua Ling, lifted the glasses frame, "Adjourn the court for half an hour, and make a conclusion later."

The crowd went out in twos and threes. Yan Jingxi took out her phone and canceled the airplane mode. Five missed calls were all from the director of the orphanage.

Yan Jingxi walked to the end of the corridor and turned a corner, the surroundings were relatively quiet, and pressed the callback button, "Dean, what's the matter?"

Listening to the statement on the phone, Yan Jingxi's heart gradually cooled down. He hung up the phone and dialed another number: "Xiao Qiao, can you do me a favor?"

"Okay, just say it!" The familiar voice was clear and bright.

After hanging up the phone, Yan Jingxi walked towards the sink with heavy steps, unscrewed the faucet, took the water with his palms together, washed his face vigorously, shook his head, and the tips of his hair were still dripping with water.

"Wipe it!" Assistant Xiaoguo came over and handed over a tissue, "The court is about to start."

"Thank you!" Yan Jingxi took the tissue to wipe off the water on his face, "Let's go in!"

The presiding judge, Hua Ling, glanced around, and the courtroom fell silent.

"I pronounce the verdict. After consultation with the collegial panel, it is unanimous that Luo Qian's request for a judicial appraisal agency to conduct another mental appraisal is legal and reasonable, and the final judgment will be made after the appraisal results come out."

Yan Jingxi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and gave Xiaoguo a high five.
