The Way of the Demon Cult Leader Chasing His Wife

"Listen to me first."

In the small rental house, all the curtains were tightly closed, and the two sat face to face at a small table.

The old man sat on the chair with some embarrassment, with thick calluses in his hands, and his fingertips rubbed back and forth unconsciously on the edge of the table.

"Don't worry, I'm a risk agent. You don't need to pay the lawyer's fee. I'll help you with the lawsuit."

Xia Zhitao spread out the printed documents in his hand, and looked at the old man opposite. "Of course, the reward will be divided into [-] to [-], and if I lose, I won't receive a cent."

The old man nodded nervously.

After being rejected by countless lawyers, he has long since given up hope.Originally, he was ready to be alone with the rich second-generation family to the end, but Xia Zhitao suddenly contacted him, and directly expressed his willingness to help and appear in court as a lawyer.

After agreeing on a time, Xia Zhitao came to this dilapidated and simple rental house with the sorted documents, recording pen, and collected materials. He was going to discuss with the old man first, and then he had a direction to start.

Xia Zhitao hesitated to explain the current situation to the old man:

"The most important thing is that the case dragged on for a long time. Normally, the trial should have started within one to two weeks after it happened, but it was deliberately suppressed."

"There were no cameras, most of the physical evidence was destroyed, and there was only one witness—"

She paused and said, "To tell you the truth, this case is very difficult."

The old man panicked when he heard the word "difficult", leaned forward because of excitement, and asked urgently:

"Then, what shall we do then?"

The old man looked at the lawyer sitting across from him, as if grasping at the last straw.It's just that the straw is slender and fragile, as if it will snap from the middle in an instant.

Xia Zhitao quickly comforted him: "Don't be nervous, there is always a solution."

Considering the old man's possible mood swings, she slowed down her tone and began to analyze carefully with the other party:

"First of all, because this is a major case involving human life, it should be heard in the Circuit Court or the Central Criminal Court."

Xia Zhitao picked up the thick folder in his hand and rummaged through it, took out a piece of paper and pushed it in front of the old man, explaining: "This is the general procedure of a criminal case, you can take a look at it. It's okay if you don't understand it, I will I will go through the specific procedures with you before the trial."

The old man didn't dare to touch the paper, so he bent down and leaned over to look at it.It's just that there were a bunch of small characters densely written on that piece of paper, which made him dizzy, and he didn't know how much he understood.

Xia Zhitao went on to say: "If we want to win this case, we must be able to present enough evidence and convince the jury. The jury may have 12 or 23 people."

"These people must all agree 'guilty' before they can be sentenced successfully. Otherwise, it will constitute a jury deadlock, leading to a new jury selection or a new review process."

"It's called 'unanimity,' and it's the most critical, or the most difficult part."

When Xia Zhitao thought of this, he felt a headache. He really took a hot potato on impulse.

The jury is randomly selected from the citizens. Although the lawyers of both sides can use the "without reason avoidance system" to remove 6 jurors each, they are afraid that the other party will play tricks from behind, bribe or even threaten the jurors in private, resulting in "unanimous agreement". "Unable to achieve.

Seeing the old man opposite him trembling and afraid to speak, Xia Zhitao finally sighed and comforted him:

"We are still in the stage of collecting evidence and witnesses. After the evidence is collected, we will use public opinion to push a wave of attention. After the trial, we will see how the opposing lawyer will respond."

Xia Zhitao put the spread papers back into the file folder, she organized the files according to the labels, tapped the side of the files with her fingertips, and said softly:

"Don't worry, since I have taken over this case, I will do my best—"

Her voice is very calm, but she is calm but with a calm, unhurried momentum and confidence:

"Win it."

.

After coming out of the rental house, Xia Zhitao saw Xia Zhisong at a glance. He was leaning against the car, folded his arms and was about to fall asleep.

"Hey, hey," Xia Zhitao snapped his fingers on his face, "We've discussed it, let's go back."

Xia Zhisong was startled by the sound of snapping his fingers, and woke up suddenly: "Sister, you've been away for too long!"

Xia Zhitao couldn't laugh or cry: "Please, you don't know how difficult this case is? You can't finish it in a few sentences. We must be prepared for a protracted war."

Xia Zhisong scratched his head, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Yeah, sister, you have worked hard."

The two got into the car, Xia Zhisong started the car and asked casually, "Where are we going next?"

Xia Zhitao looked at the time and said, "Go to the law firm and sort out the materials and files first. In the evening, I made an appointment with the witness, that is, Qi Zidong, to chat."

Xia Zhisong nodded, the car started and drove smoothly on the road.Holding the steering wheel in his hand, he suddenly asked, "Sister, why did you take this case? I thought you wouldn't help."

Xia Zhitao was still flipping through the documents, and was stunned when he heard this sentence.She tied the fine hair beside her earlobe, looked at the document in her hand, and whispered:

"I don't know, maybe it's because I have someone who cares a lot, so I want to make myself stronger."

She smiled and said, "You can't keep hiding behind you."

Xia Zhisong said, "Crazy? Is that the leader of the Demon Cult?"

They grew up dependent on each other, and the two siblings have a very good relationship.Apart from being arrogant, Xia Zhisong is probably the person who knows Xia Zhitao best.Xia Zhitao would never hide anything from his younger brother, and would basically tell him.

Therefore, Xia Zhisong is very concerned about the "insolence" that the elder sister mentioned many times.After Zhang Kuang took him to the hospital to save others, he even accepted the setting of "time travel" smoothly, and admired the leader.

The criminal policeman suddenly became interested and began to mutter:

"Hey old lady, don't talk about it, the leader is amazing, Fei Tian can stealthily save people. You can go and talk to her about this case, she will definitely be willing to help, and then it will be so cool to beat people up— —”

Alas, you really can't count on boys' EQ.Xia Zhitao rubbed his temples as if he had a headache, and didn't want to answer him.

.

At this moment, Xia Zhitao's cell phone rang suddenly. The caller was [Lu Qian], and her brother was not an outsider anyway, so she turned on the speakerphone:

"Sister Zhitao, help me!!!"

Lu Qian's ghostly crying and wolf howling came out suddenly, it was a shocking weeping ghost, and the whole car was filled with his crying in an instant.

Xia Zhitao: "..."

Xia Zhisong: "Sister, what's the matter?"

Holding the phone, Lu Qian didn't care whether Xia Zhitao would be disturbed or not, and cried frantically, "Sister Zhitao, help me—boss, she's going to scare the co-stars to death, and she's going to give up the studio too." Take it apart!!"

Xia Zhisong, who was driving beside him, couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

Lu Qian continued to cry: "That Swedish director is still full of admiration, constantly praising the boss that Chinese Kung-Fu is amazing, and even wants to add it to the script."

Xia Zhitao: "...What are you filming?"

There was a sound of pinging and bangs behind him. Lu Qian held his mobile phone and hid in the corner looking for reinforcements:

"A perfume commercial, the boss heard that he was going to have an intimate scene with another person, so he immediately blew up and started tearing down the house. Sister Zhitao, do you have time to come and help, woo woo woo."

Xia Zhitao turned his head silently, and said to Xia Zhisong, "Go to Zhang Kuang first."

Xia Zhisong nodded understandingly, and clicked on the navigation to reset the destination.Xia Zhitao said to the phone: "Got it, tell me the address."

Lu Qian quickly turned on the real-time positioning, and just as he pressed the send button, a shadow fell and shrouded behind him.

A voice sounded, leisurely hitting his ear:

"Why are you calling Zhitao?"

Lu Qian almost lost his grip on the phone, he trembled a little, looking at the super obvious "Xia Zhitao" call interface on his phone, feeling that his death was imminent.

Lu Qian gritted his teeth, turned his head with a sad face, and saw the boss wearing the fairy costume arranged by the director, with a bad expression on his face, looking down at him.

He was just thinking about how to explain it. Coincidentally, a male voice came from the phone:

"Received the address, drive there now."

male voice? !

What's the situation, how could there be a male voice on Sister Zhitao's side?

Although the voice was quite clear, it was obvious that it was a man, a grown man!

Lu Qian looked terrified, looked at Zhang Kuang with a gloomy expression, half knelt down, and snatched his mobile phone away.

.

Xia Zhisong was adjusting the navigation, and the phone was still on hands-free.Suddenly there was no sound from Lu Qian's side, and the dead silence lasted for several seconds before there was a sound from the phone.

Not Lu Qian, but another person.

"male?"

The voice was extremely cold, suppressing countless emotions, and the monstrous murderous intent seemed to shatter the screen of the mobile phone and rushed in, hitting the heart heavily, making people breathless for a while.

"--Who are you?"

The criminal policeman who specializes in handling criminal cases and has seen many murder scenes was very hopeless and directly persuaded him. He didn't wait for Xia Zhitao to explain, and hurriedly said tremblingly:

"Sister Zhang Kuang, calm down, I'm Xia Zhisong! I don't know if you still remember, but I'm Sister Zhitao's younger brother, a real brother, related by blood!"

He deliberately emphasized the words "brother" and "blood relationship", fearing that Zhang Kuang would misunderstand.

After Xia Zhisong finished stammering, the phone was silent for a while, and when he spoke again, it was a completely different scene.

Just now I wished I could swallow his voice instantly softened, became amiable, and said very enthusiastically: "Zhisong, I remember."

Xia Zhisong: "Hello, hello."

The voice was very kind, and even asked friendlyly: "Have you eaten yet? Do you want to go together?"

Xia Zhisong: "Okay, okay."

On the other side, Lu Qian nervously watched the boss's every move, until Zhang Kuang's expression gradually eased, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was almost scared to death by the boss's expression just now, and he patted his chest with guilt, thinking: Fortunately, Xia Zhitao's younger brother makes sense, otherwise the boss would probably go straight out of the window to find someone.

What's more terrible is that Zhang Kuang is still wearing the fluffy fairy costume used for commercial shooting. If he really rushes onto the highway, he will definitely make headlines if he is photographed...
