Chapter 406: Chapter 379: Zhang Wei: Lawless Madman? I Have to Handle This Myself!_2

Letting an ordinary person hit by a car... stay in the torrential rain for an hour and a half...

Who could endure that?

If it hadn’t been raining heavily, Wang Yimeng might have had a chance to survive.

But it was precisely because of the heavy rain, coupled with Li Xiaoxin’s inaction, that led to Wang Yimeng’s eventual death.

Judge Qiu Ming looked at the defendant, Li Xiaoxin.

"The defendant may now speak," Qiu Ming said.

Li Xiaoxin heard Gu Chen demand the death penalty for her and looked at Gu Chen with disdain.

She understands the law!

Li Xiaoxin is not legally ignorant.

She knows that driving under the influence definitely means full responsibility.

If she had called the police immediately, the police would have come...

In that case, Wang Yimeng would have survived.

Then what?

The police would definitely test her.

Whether she had been drinking or not could be determined with just a breath test.

If she had reported it immediately, the police would certainly have tested her for drinking.

Then she would have been driving under the influence.

What happens when you drive under the influence?

Simply put... it’s illegal!

If it reached the standard of drunk driving, she’d even have to go to jail.

Just driving under the influence would get her license revoked and fined....

And one more crucial thing.

Insurance wouldn’t cover it!

In a normal traffic accident, if you hit someone, or even kill someone...

Insurance would cover damages.

Depending on what insurance you bought, the coverage is as it should be.

But if you drive under the influence and have an accident, insurance won’t cover it at all.

In case of an accident, Li Xiaoxin knew she would have to pay at least a couple hundred thousand.

All these expenses would have to come out of her pocket.

If the other party stayed in the hospital and tried to extort money...

They might have to pay even more.

Even up to a million is possible.

Li Xiaoxin didn’t dare get caught for drunk driving, so naturally, she wouldn’t choose to report it.

She would drink plenty of water and stall for time until the police arrived, so they couldn’t detect her drunk driving, and she’d be fine.

That’s why Li Xiaoxin decided to wait for two hours.

Moreover, she knew there were no cameras here, no surveillance, and no cars on the road.

She even planned to exonerate herself by saying Wang Yimeng ran a red light...

Li Xiaoxin is very familiar with the law; she knew Gu Chen was trying to intimidate her.

How could she possibly be sentenced to death?

Absolutely impossible.

The death penalty is only for major traffic accidents, like someone driving and recklessly hitting a bunch of people...

This was just a regular traffic accident, so how could she be sentenced?

Impossible!

Even if it was drunk driving, even if it was running a red light, it couldn’t possibly be the death penalty.

What was Gu Chen posing for?

Death penalty?

For a death penalty, it must be a case of intentional murder.

Even for a charge of negligent homicide, the death penalty wouldn’t be given.

How could it be proven that she intentionally killed?

Did she intentionally murder Wang Yimeng?

Li Xiaoxin didn’t expect Gu Chen to have gathered so much evidence.

With so much evidence presented by Gu Chen, Li Xiaoxin knew there was no point in defending further.

Why did Gu Chen have so much evidence?

Damn it.

Li Xiaoxin thought about it, and at worst, she’d serve a few years in prison. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Just a few years in prison.

She wouldn’t care about anything else!

After all, she didn’t have a car, a house or money, so if she didn’t pay, what could be done to her?

No one could do anything to her.

She had to ask her boyfriend Li Mu for the money for her last seven-day trip with her male best friend.

Now Li Mu didn’t even care about her.

Did he really have to be so heartless over her past?

If that’s the case, she’d have to rely on herself.

Li Xiaoxin spoke, "Yes, I did lie before, and I’m very sorry."

"But I need to tell the truth about what happened!"

"I didn’t destroy the dashcam, that’s not true! The dashcam on that car was already broken. What evidence do you have to prove I destroyed it? Just based on this blurry video footage? What does that prove? Where did I destroy the dashcam? Do you have evidence?"

"I drank, but only a little bit. Moreover, when the police came, they didn’t detect me driving under the influence. This means it wasn’t considered DUI. As for drinking water in the car, I was just thirsty, what does that have to do with DUI? If the police had caught me, then I’d admit it, but they didn’t. You think that restaurant footage proves I was drinking? I only took a small sip, what does that prove?"

Li Xiaoxin addressed the points of DUI and dashcam herself.

In conclusion, the evidence isn’t clear enough.

DUI must be detected on the spot to count as DUI.

But the police indeed didn’t detect it.

As for destroying the dashcam, at least in the video, it’s not very clear.

Li Xiaoxin did get out of the car...

But there is indeed no direct evidence to prove Li Xiaoxin was destroying the dashcam at the time.

Li Xiaoxin continued, "As for the charge of intentional murder, that’s utterly baseless. Why would I intentionally kill? What benefit would it bring me? I waited in the car for two hours because I thought someone had already reported it. So many cars passed by, why should I be the one to report it?"

"I was just waiting in the car for the traffic police and ambulance to come, didn’t expect it to rain. I thought it was a heavy rain, so the police and ambulance took time to come, and I just waited in the car. I felt the time was too long, so I played games; is that illegal?"

"How could I have saved Wang Yimeng? I didn’t even dare to attempt it. How would I have known he would die? I didn’t plan to flee the scene. Wasn’t I waiting for the police and ambulance the whole time?"

"I didn’t realize two hours had passed until I snapped out of it and called to check what was happening. Only then the police and ambulance arrived, what could I do?"

"I didn’t mean to, did I want Wang Yimeng dead? What good would his death do for me? I didn’t know hitting him at that speed would kill him."

"I had no grudges against Wang Yimeng, why would I kill him? I just didn’t think it would be fatal, at most it’s negligent homicide, I definitely didn’t intend to kill him." Li Xiaoxin said.

Gu Chen didn’t expect Li Xiaoxin to understand the law quite well.

This case is actually about determining between intentional murder and negligent homicide.

DUI and running a red light cannot prove Li Xiaoxin’s intentional murder.

The specific situation at the time and subsequent actions determine the charge and sentencing.

Gu Chen shook his head.

All the evidence is here.

If Li Xiaoxin insisted on such an explanation, it would be hard to charge her with intentional murder through inaction.

It could only be charged as negligent homicide.

Negligent homicide carries a sentence of three to seven years.

The maximum sentence is seven years.

That’s what the law stipulates, and there’s nothing Gu Chen can do about it.

But Li Xiaoxin definitely has to undergo civil compensation.

Gu Chen couldn’t do anything about that either.

Trying to sentence Li Xiaoxin to death was indeed very difficult.

So it would be negligent homicide then.

On the side, Zhang Wei was speechless after seeing this.

Really???

How can it be just negligent homicide?

Damn!

If it’s just negligent homicide, he won’t be able to fulfill the client’s demands!

Li Xiaoxin’s demand was for a short prison term, ideally within one or two months.

And Li Xiaoxin didn’t want to compensate, at most just a bit of money.

Zhang Wei must achieve his client’s demands!

What Gu Chen couldn’t accomplish, he can help with!

Judge Qiu Ming looked at Gu Chen, "Does the plaintiff’s lawyer have any rebuttal?"

Gu Chen was pondering how to respond.

He knew it was difficult to charge Li Xiaoxin with intentional murder through inaction, but he still had to strive in that direction.

The specific verdict depends on the court.

But... sentencing Li Xiaoxin to death indeed didn’t seem feasible.

And at this time....

Zhang Wei stepped up.

He was speechless.

This is what the Lawless Madman got? He needed to step in personally!

He had to personally fulfill Li Xiaoxin’s demands!

Death penalty!

It must be the death penalty!

What the Lawless Madman couldn’t do, he will do!

"Judge, I have evidence!"
