Qi Tongwei: Can I be young again?

Qi Tongwei was taken aback. "I'll treat you to dinner?"

"Yup!"

"why?"

"Because I've run out of money."

"Didn't you just get paid?"

"Yes!" Hou Liangping said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's gone right after I got my salary."

"Where's the money? Did you go to a brothel?"

"No, no," Hou Liangping quickly explained, "I felt sorry for Juanjuan and Haoping, so I donated all of last month's salary to them."

"Damn, you have such high awareness?" Qi Tongwei took a step back. "Monkey, if you're lying to me, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"I swear to God..."

"Never mind, never mind." Thinking of the two packs of Hongjinling cigarettes he bought for him yesterday, Qi Tongwei took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket. "This money is for you, use it sparingly."

"Thank you, senior."

After getting the money, Hou Liangping was overjoyed and went to the convenience store to buy a bottle of Coke.

They even said they would perform a show for Qi Tongwei.

The show is called "Thirty Seconds for a Bottle of Coke".

"Stop, stop, stop... Monkey, I don't want to watch your show."

"So what does the senior want to do?"

"Get out, I want you to get out, the farther the better."

Qi Tongwei was already annoyed.

Seeing Hou Liangping only made me more annoyed.

Fortunately, Hou Liangping wasn't ungrateful; once he had money, he stopped clinging to Qi Tongwei.

Holding a Coke, I waved and walked into the restaurant.

Began to eat.

Looking at the carefree Hou Liangping, Qi Tongwei was honestly a little envious.

Qi Tongwei carries even more burdens in this life.

The pressure is greater.

I hadn't eaten much all day and had no appetite. Back in my dorm, I lay on my bed and started thinking.

Consider how to defend Wang Qiang's innocence.

Just then, the phone rang.

Gu Jinhua.

Qi Tongwei immediately sat up in bed and pressed the call button.

"Aunt Gu."

"Hmm, are you off work yet?"

"Just got back to the dorm and am lying in bed."

"I heard from Xiao Ai before that you had a case you wanted to discuss with me, was it Wang Qiang's case?"

"You know about this too?" Qi Tongwei asked, somewhat surprised.

The Zhong family is indeed incredibly resourceful.

“Since Xiao Ai brought it up, of course I have to find out beforehand.” Gu Jinhua didn’t hide anything and asked softly, “Tongwei, do you want to plead not guilty for Wang Qiang?”

"Yes." Qi Tongwei was also very frank. "The law cannot yield to illegality. I understand the cause and effect of this case. The deceased was a scumbag and a bully. Wang Qiang's behavior is somewhere between excessive killing and legitimate self-defense. How to characterize it depends on the hearing before the trial."

"Okay, I will attend this hearing."

"You're coming?"

“I heard from Qu Jingchun that you applied to him for defense in this case, so of course I have to come.”

Qi Tongwei understood.

So, Gu Jinhua came here to support herself.

I'm so touched...

“Tongwei, I’ve been a prosecutor for many years, and during that time I’ve witnessed the continuous improvement of the law. Wang Qiang’s case is a typical example; how it’s judged will have a wide-ranging impact. Just as you said, the law cannot yield to illegality! As for how to defend him, do you have any ideas?”

looks?

Qi Tongwei thought for a moment and said, "I think the biggest problem is that Wang Qiang is ignorant of the law. His wife was raped multiple times, but the whole family chose to remain silent. That's one point. Secondly, when the deceased Liu Jin was murdered, the rape had already ended, which is equivalent to ending the crime. At this point, Wang Qiang's actions are more in line with violent killing!"

Gu Jinhua remained silent for a moment before analyzing, "Firstly, Wang Qiang is ignorant of the law and afraid of retaliation, so it's normal that he didn't call the police. This is a pathetic act, but it's not very relevant to the case itself. To break through this point, you need to investigate the deceased's previous behavior. For example, did he ever work with organized crime? Did he ever threaten others? If so... this is a strong point of defense at the hearing."

"As for your second point, you can go to the forensic doctor's office to get the deceased's autopsy report. I have read this report. The deceased, Liu Jin, suffered a total of twenty-six stab wounds. Each wound was very shallow, and only one stab hit an artery. This fully demonstrates that Wang Qiang had no intention of killing. All he did was protect his family and stop the deceased from committing further crimes."

Gu Jinhua's simple words enlightened Qi Tongwei.

The Executive Deputy Procurator-General of the Supreme People's Procuratorate is indeed impressive.

These two approaches were things Qi Tongwei hadn't considered.

It felt like a sudden enlightenment.

"Aunt Gu, I understand, thank you."

"Why are you being so polite with me?" Gu Jinhua said with a smile. "The New Year is just over a month away. Why don't you come to the capital during your holiday and celebrate the New Year with us?"

Qi Tongwei paused for a moment.

After Qi Qingshan left, he was all alone, so it didn't matter where he spent the New Year.

Gu Jinhua must have thought of this when she invited him.

The Zhong family truly didn't treat Qi Tongwei as an outsider.

I made this suggestion because I was afraid he would be lonely and isolated.

“Okay, Aunt Gu,” Qi Tongwei replied softly.

“Then it’s settled.” Gu Jinhua continued, “Next Tuesday, I will go to Handong in advance so that we can review Wang Qiang’s case again and try to get him a not guilty plea at the hearing.”

"okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Qi Tongwei calmed down considerably.

A starting point has been found for Wang Qiang's case.

At the same time, he won't be too lonely in the New Year...

Chapter 158 Verbal Clash

Following Gu Jinhua's advice, Qi Tongwei spent the next few days running around.

First, he found Wang Qiang's neighbor.

According to neighbors, the victim, Liu Jin, was indeed a scumbag. Every time he finished drinking, he would come over to Wang Qiang for fun, force Wang Qiang to drink urine, and sexually assault Hao Ping.

The victims are not limited to Wang Qiang's family.

Liu Jin, relying on his family's wealth, acted lawlessly and frequently harassed local residents.

Just a year ago, he went fishing at someone's fishpond. When the fishpond owner refused, he beat up the owner.

The fishpond owner later called the police.

The results of it?

After being detained for several days, Liu Jin was released and immediately used a solution to kill all the fish in the pond.

The fishpond owner was naturally unhappy about so many fish dying, so he wanted to call the police again.

At this point, Liu Jin made a harsh statement.

If you dare to call the police, next time it won't be the fish that die from the poison, but the fishpond owner's son.

After being threatened like that, the fishpond owner chickened out.

They didn't dare call the police.

This story circulated widely at the time.

Moreover, the fishpond owner was Wang Qiang's neighbor.

Perhaps knowing Liu Jin's ways too well, Wang Qiang did not choose to report Hao Ping to the police when she was repeatedly violated.

He was afraid too.

They were afraid of retaliation, after all, Juanjuan was still young, and Liu Jin was ruthless, no one knew what he was capable of.

Tolerance was the only way out that Wang Qiang could think of.

After learning about Liu Jin's style, Qi Tongwei became even more determined to defend Wang Qiang's innocence.
