Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 431 - 394: An Unwinnable Case (Part 2)

The boss is human, not a god.

We really can’t treat the boss as a Lawless Madman, can we?

In this kind of lawsuit, Li Long killed three people, no matter who takes the case, they’re bound to lose. It’s impossible to win.

Xia Ranran nodded and sighed.

If that’s the case, then there’s really no one who can help Li Long.

Just at this moment...

A car stopped at the company entrance.

Gu Chen has returned.

Xue Qingqing saw Gu Chen return and quickly ran over, "Boss, why aren’t you resting properly in the hospital, why did you come back... you should rest well."

Gu Chen patted Xue Qingqing’s head, saying, "What’s this, just a little fever. I already followed Li Long’s case online, so I came back."

Xue Qingqing tugged Gu Chen’s arm, "Please get well, okay? You can’t win this case, your health is more important, I’m worried about you, what will I do if you fall sick...?"

Gu Chen smiled, held Xue Qingqing’s small hand, and said, "Don’t worry, it’s just a fever, I’ve already had an infusion, it’s not a big problem. I’ve understood the case, I’ll take it. It’s okay, if I truly can’t hold on, isn’t there still you?"

Xue Qingqing’s eyes reddened slightly, "But..."

Gu Chen said, "Silly girl, no need to say anything more, it’s no big deal, just a lawsuit. If I don’t take this case, no one else will be able to handle it."

"Lost the first trial, we can only appeal, I have only one chance left," Gu Chen said.

Gu Chen knew that if he didn’t take this case, who else could possibly win it?

Gao Yong stepped forward and asked, "Is your body alright?"

Gu Chen shook his head, "Just a fever, nothing serious, it’s not an illness. Just because I have a fever, I can’t work? My body isn’t that fragile, give me all the files and materials related to this case."

Seeing Gu Chen take on this case, Gao Yong said, "Gu Chen, are you confident?"

Gu Chen looked up, "Who is confident?"

Gao Yong was silent.

No one is confident that they can win this case.

Even... no matter who defends this case, the outcome won’t change.

But Gu Chen still took on this case.

Gu Chen said, "No one is confident. This case is different from any previous ones, even different from the last one I handled. The last case only involved breaking someone’s legs, but this case is much more serious, killed three people. The situation is very grave, the chance to turn things around is very slim."

The previous case was nothing more than minor disturbances.

The case of Liu Ting having her legs broken, was merely limited to breaking her legs. No matter how severe the situation, it couldn’t lead to a death penalty.

But in this case, it’s difficult for Li Long to avoid being sentenced to death.

The nature of the case is too severe...

Murdering one person counts as intent to murder, deserving a death penalty.

But Li Long killed three... and burned the car...

No matter the reason, the law doesn’t show mercy, and Li Long will be sentenced to death.

In other words, up to this point, after Gu Chen took on this case, there is virtually no hope of winning.

The chance of success is only 0.01%.

Gao Yong said, "Think carefully, there’s almost no chance to win this case. Once you lose, your record of 100% success rate will be broken. People used to say you’re a lawyer with 100% success rate, but after losing this case, netizens won’t say that anymore."

Gu Chen said, "100% success rate? What’s the use of such a title? I’m just a lawyer, I’ll just do what I should do. The success rate doesn’t matter."

"Even if this lawsuit is lost, I’ve done what I should. Losing is losing, not important, I don’t need any 100% success rate title. Lawyers losing cases, isn’t that normal?"

Gu Chen doesn’t care about this.

So what if the case is lost?

Is it important?

But no matter what, he has to help Li Long with this defense.

It’s all because... Li Long shouldn’t die!

They say for murder there must be retribution...

But after Li Long’s mother was killed, the perpetrator was only sentenced to a few years due to special circumstances.

Li Long was only doing what a son should do.

Even giving Li Long a life sentence would be acceptable, but sentencing him to death...

Gu Chen cannot accept this outcome.

Li Long indeed made mistakes, but there were reasons for those mistakes.

His own mother was killed... while he could do nothing.

Gu Chen can accept any punishment for Li Long other than death, but cannot accept Li Long being sentenced to death.

Li Haoran only has Li Long as his son....

Gu Chen said, "I’ll take on the appeal case, without charging a penny. The law firm is currently running a promotion, I can handle a case for free."

Gu Chen looked at Li Haoran.

Li Long’s father, already having gray hair, with inconvenient legs, supported by a cane.

Li Long’s father said, "No, no, have to pay... here’s 300,000, all inside this bag."

Gu Chen said, "No need to pay, put this money in the bank later, don’t carry it around, it’s inconvenient and dangerous."

No matter what Gu Chen said, the old man was unwilling to deposit the money in the bank.

Li Haoran put the money in Gu Chen’s office and just sat there.

Even when Gu Chen suggested having an employee accompany Li Haoran to the bank, he refused.

He just wanted to use this money to save his son.

Even if in the end it’s still the death penalty...

It doesn’t matter to him anymore.

If his son is gone, what meaning is there in his life?

All these years, his beloved wife left...

What kept him going was the fact that his son was still alive.

Also... he wanted to keep living so he could burn paper money, send food to his wife every year...

This was his entire motivation to keep living.

If his wife was gone, and his son was gone...

Then he wouldn’t stay in this world.

This money meant nothing to him.

Gu Chen saw the old man being so stubborn and didn’t say anything more.

If he could win this lawsuit, he would return all this money to Li Long.

If this lawsuit was lost...

Gu Chen sighed.

If we don’t try, how can we lose?

This lawsuit has just begun!

Xia Ranran couldn’t win it, but he might be able to!

Gu Chen decided to first review the case files!

Understand the entire course of this case!

Only by thoroughly understanding the situation can we find a way to break through!

After opening the case file....

Gu Chen clearly saw the cause, process, and outcome of the case.

Li Long’s family and Lu Hai’s family were neighbors.

Lu Hai had a son named Lu Jun.

And then... Gu Chen saw the shocking sequence of events.

Li Long’s mother was humiliated....

Finally, these three were sentenced, but were released after just a few years.

Lu Hai’s family compensated Li Long’s family with 1,500 yuan.

The incident of his mother’s death was buried deeply in Li Long’s heart, all these years...

After returning to the village, Li Long decided to start killing...

Li Long first killed two people, Lu Jun tried to escape but was caught and killed by Li Long.

Finally, Li Long killed three people...

And then, still dissatisfied, he set fire to Lu Hai’s car, causing property damage.

When the police found out, they started to hunt Li Long.

Li Long fled for two days and finally chose to surrender.

In the first trial, Xia Ranran argued fervently, stating that Li Long surrendered voluntarily and explaining the reasons behind Li Long’s crimes.

In the end, the court sentenced Li Long to death and stripped him of political rights for life in the first trial.

Gu Chen read through all the information in the case file.

"Difficult... very difficult."

"Li Long committed intentional murder, the circumstances are very grave, resulted in a death penalty..."

"The evidence is conclusive, Li Long has surrendered and confessed to the entire circumstances."

"Sentenced to death in the first trial, even though he surrendered, there will be no leniency... because the severity of this case is too extreme, a dead end..."

"How to break through?"

Gu Chen fell into deep thought.
