234. I Want to Be a Good Person

"Is he crazy?"

Lin Fushou couldn't understand Yan Chu's brain circuit. It was too late for normal people to avoid the court police. How could someone do the opposite and take the initiative to find those troubles? Was he so sure that he thought he could win the case?

After receiving the court's summons, Lin Fushou made a special call to Lawyer Jiang and asked about Yan Chu's lawsuit against him for extortion.

In fact, this case is quite difficult to say the least simple.

China has been a human society since ancient times, and there is a saying that law is nothing more than human relationships. Yan Chu sued all the families involved in it to court at once. First of all, the scope of involvement was too wide.

In fact, the legal determination of this kind of case is very complicated. First of all, you must have enough evidence to prove that the amount of compensation requested by Lin Fushou and others is huge, and the compensation requested is unreasonable and illegal. In such a case, during the collection of evidence and Qualitatively, this is a troublesome matter. Secondly, the starting point of Lin Fushou and others' request for compensation is based on the fact that their relatives died in the vehicle lent by Yan Chu. Considering this point, the judge will not follow Yan Chu's words and determine that they are really guilty. It's blackmail.

"Don't worry, it's usually difficult to succeed in a case like this."

After accepting the legal fees collected by Lin Fushou and others, Lawyer Jiang naturally has to do his job well. He is well-known in the industry, and his favorite thing to do is to exploit loopholes in the law. Therefore, his reputation in the industry is not very good, but like In situations like Lin Fushou's, he especially likes to find lawyers like him.

"First of all, you didn't get the money. At most, the court will sentence you to attempted blackmail. The sentencing for attempted blackmail is very light. Secondly, for blackmail, you must consider whether the plaintiff really received your threats. You also said that the Yan family has already He just moved, and you went to his place of work to cause trouble, and you didn't meet him either. So it's hard to get evidence to say how much threat and mental pressure he suffered in this matter, and the judge won't because of his One-sided words will confirm the facts of your blackmail.”

Lawyer Jiang's threat made Lin Fushou relieved. In fact, as a small citizen like him, he was also afraid of the police judge, especially since he was untenable in this matter. He was really afraid that he would be put to death like this. Went to jail.

"Has the responsibility report from the traffic police team been released?"

The lawyer asked casually, counting the days, the cause of the car accident should have a result.

"Come out, a group of young guys were driving after drinking. The road section where the accident occurred was not monitored, but based on the simulation of the traces left on the road, it is estimated that a group of drunkards were driving after drinking and did not notice the telephone pole in front of them. Wait for attention. When I arrived, I turned the steering wheel urgently and the car rolled downhill.”

Lin Fushou didn't have much affection for his niece. She was spoiled by her mother and didn't have much respect for his uncle. Now that the niece was dead, Lin Fushou just sighed and let go of the matter, concentrating on thinking about what to do for him. Seek your own benefit.

Besides, if his niece is still alive, no matter how much his sister loves his younger brother, money and house will not come cheap to him.

"Drunk driving?"

Lawyer Jiang frowned. This was something he had not thought of before.

"Did Yan Tian have the habit of driving drunk before?" He really didn't expect that that group of people played so crazy and were not afraid of death. After drinking so much alcohol, they drove themselves instead of hiring a driver. If you really want to say this, Yan Chu still It's quite tragic. I lent a good car to my cousin, but the person who borrowed it didn't care about it. It cost him his life and made Yan Chu feel bad.

"Then I don't know."

Lin Fushou shook his head. The responsibility for the current accident must be on Yan Tian. However, their family is too poor. They just live in a shabby life and have no savings. If Xu Shufen hadn't agreed to wait for her share of the compensation, Lin Fushou would never let her go so easily.

"The habit of drunk driving is definitely not something that happens once or twice. Yan Chu dared to lend his car to his cousin who had the habit of drunk driving. He really has nothing to do with it."

Lawyer Jiang looked at Lin Fushou and said meaningfully.

"No, how did Yan Chu know that Yan Tian was driving drunk?"

Lin Fushou still didn't understand what Lawyer Jiang meant. Yan Tian was not stupid. He was still publicizing drunk driving. Besides, he couldn't assume that Yan Tian had drunk driving before, and Yan Chu knew that he had a dark history of drunk driving.

Only after thinking about it carefully, he understood what the lawyer meant.

Regardless of whether Yan Chu knew that Yan Tian had the habit of drunk driving, he had to know about this matter anyway.

Lin Fushou chuckled, and even the sense of crisis of being sued by Yan Chu in court was gone.

*****

"Hello, you are Lawyer Jiang. I was introduced by Axiang."

Zhang Baozhu walked into Lawyer Jiang's office, sat on the leather sofa, and said with some restraint.

Originally, he had never thought of hiring a lawyer, but the process of handling the case at the police station was too slow. He had clearly identified the person who had been hit by Yan Chu, but he did not see the police arresting Yan Chu and offering more compensation. It's a long way off.

Zhang Baozhu was anxious. When he heard that Lawyer Jiang was very famous in this field, he endured the pain and spent a lot of money to make an appointment to consult about car accident compensation.

"Hello Mr. Zhang, I have some understanding of your situation, but I still have some questions that I want to ask you."

Lawyer Jiang had just sent Lin Fushou away, and before he had time to drink a sip of tea to moisten his throat, he waited for Zhang Baozhu. The other party didn't give much money, but he was quite satisfied with one thing, that is, he could take a 20% commission of the compensation for this case, which means that if he could get 500,000 yuan in compensation, he could get 100,000 yuan. The more compensation, the higher his commission this time.

Therefore, although he had been in the industry for many years and noticed that there was something fishy in this case, Lawyer Jiang still didn't take it to heart.

"I believe that after you reported the case, the police should have inspected the accident vehicle and conducted a trace identification at the accident scene. What are those situations?" Lawyer Jiang crossed his fingers, put his elbows on the table, leaned forward slightly, looked at Zhang Baozhu and asked.

"Lawyer Jiang, you don't know the situation at that time."

Zhang Baozhu went over the words he had thought of in his mind, and then spoke.

"After the accident, my mother was unconscious for a long time and was not conscious. The driver thought my mother was not seriously injured at first and drove her to the hospital. When the test results came out and he knew that my mother might become disabled, he ran away. When my mother woke up and we, the children, knew about the accident, it had been a long time since the accident. In addition, it rained lightly on the day of the accident, and vehicles were coming and going, destroying all traces." Zhang Baozhu explained: "What's more, my mother did not directly collide with the vehicle, but was just rubbed. The car braked quickly. My mother's injuries were mainly caused by falling, not being hit." Now that technology is so advanced, there are things that cannot be detected. When Zhang Baozhu was preparing to blackmail Yan Chu, he also did his homework and came prepared. "So, in addition to the old lady's oral testimony, there is no physical evidence or witness to prove that the old lady was hit by the driver?" Lawyer Jiang nodded, sneered in his heart, and roughly understood what kind of case this was. Anyway, they couldn't find the real culprit who hit the person, so they just found a scapegoat. I don't know which fool dared to help others in this day and age.

"No, Lawyer Jiang, we have a witness."

Zhang Baozhu shook his head and took out a photo: "This photo was taken by the witness nearby at the time of the incident. The time and place are consistent, which means that he was at the scene at the time. He is willing to appear in court to help identify the driver as the culprit who hit my mother."

He carefully took out a printed photo from his pocket: "Lawyer Jiang, can this prove that my mother is telling the truth? Isn't this a better chance of winning this case?" Zhang Baozhu asked nervously.

Recently, the old lady at home has become more and more picky. She doesn't eat vegetarian food, but insists on eating those extremely expensive river seafood and nourishing chicken and bone soup. The family's food expenses are a considerable amount. If he didn't know that the old lady would be of great use now, Zhang Baozhu would not indulge her like that. However, even so, seeing the family's finances that are only going out but not coming in, Zhang Baozhu feels very painful.

"Are there any witnesses?" Lawyer Jiang looked at the photo. From the photo alone, nothing else can be seen. It is just a selfie of an ordinary person, but there is a road in the background. If the time is right, it can indeed prove that the person in the photo was not far from the scene at that time.

"Is this person related to you?"

Lawfully, the credibility of the testimony of relatives or close friends is lower than that of other witnesses. Generally speaking, unless there is other evidence to support it, the court may consider the credibility of the witness's testimony at its discretion.

"There is a relationship, but the relationship is very distant."

Zhang Baozhu said somewhat embarrassedly: "This person is the son of a neighbor near my house, but he moved away a long time ago. He just came back to see his mother that day. The relationship with our family is also quite distant. In this case, what will the judge think?"

He was a little nervous, and he didn't know whether this chess move would still be useful according to Lawyer Jiang's argument.

"Is that so."

Lawyer Jiang thought deeply for a moment. In such a situation, it depends on how the judge views it in court, and it is not up to him to decide. However, because of this photo of the scene, the credibility of the testimony is much higher than usual.

"Let's do this. I'll take the case. When the time comes, you can give me the specific information and I'll sort it out."

In general, this case can still be fought. Zhang Baozhu has witnesses, but the other side can't produce anything. There is no camera on the road where the accident happened, the car has no dashcam, and there is no confession from pedestrians. The police have not yet relied on the camera on the previous road section to find other drivers who witnessed the scene of the accident. So in general, the advantage is still on Zhang Baozhu's side.

"Yan Chu?"

Looking at the name of the driver who caused the accident, Lawyer Jiang was stunned. Is this Yan Chu the Yan Chu he knows? If it is the same person, how unlucky it would be?

The author has something to say: I have a fever and a cold. I took cold medicine and didn't go out to play at noon. I took a nap. Now I feel better. Because the manuscript needs to be revised to a large extent, I only revised one chapter and sent the second chapter before twelve o'clock. That's all for today. I have to go to bed early. I hope the fever will go away tomorrow.
