Chapter 210: My Tough Guy Zhou Fears Nothing!

Li Hua is feeling very bad right now, really especially bad.

In any case, ever since she was put in Silver Bracelets, her whole person has become especially calm.

And once she was brought back and sat down in this chair, she started reflecting directly.

And Li Hua's feeling is just like many suspects who have been suddenly caught; it all feels like a dream.

Inside and outside, it exists in people's jokes, but only when you are truly inside do you realize what that feeling of having your freedom stripped away is really like.

Especially for Li Hua herself, she has basically never lacked money in her hands since she was small; her father truly raised her in luxury.

Even until today, Li Hua had never thought that she would go to jail!

And after the police officer's explanation, she already knows that the Monitoring indeed still had a blind spot, but for these three days, a ruthless person directly set up a high-definition Camera above to replace the Monitoring!

At that time, Li Hua subconsciously asked whether the other party doing this counted as infringing upon her Privacy Rights...

Yes, that's right, if you call many people nowadays Legal Blind, they really aren't Legal Blind.

They often scroll through videos, so they definitely know about this right or that right, such as Privacy Rights.

At the drop of a hat, they will say, "You have infringed upon my Privacy Rights!"

Regarding this, the police officer's explanation is that the person had already reported it to the Property Management before filming.

Because that place is a Monitoring blind spot, the Camera would replace the Monitoring until the Property Management installed a proper one.

And in a very conspicuous position in front of the office building, it is written: You have entered a monitored area.

In other words, you don't need to worry about whether it is a Monitoring blind spot or not, because that is not your business.

On the contrary, regarding the monitored area, others have already fulfilled their duty to inform.

With the evidence being conclusive, Li Hua confessed without reservation, and also confessed that the takeaways from the previous days were also stolen by her.

Over ten days, she stole over ten takeaways.

This made the police officer curious as well; after careful questioning, Li Hua stated that she stole the takeaways out of a desire for revenge.

"Young lady, your takeaway being stolen and you being unable to find the person is not a reason for you to steal others' takeaways."

"Otherwise, if one day you aren't doing well, will you go out onto the street to take revenge on society? You think you are innocent, but do those people whose takeaways you stole deserve it?"

The police officer has seen this kind of person with a vengeful mentality before.

Many people attribute all the injustices they suffer to society; not being able to make money, their wife running away, etc., are all society's problems.

As a result, what do they do? They run to an elementary school to kill elementary school students!

Wanting to do some big thing to attract others' attention...

The persuasion is over, the evidence is conclusive, and there is no need to ask any more.

And outside, Li Guoliang has already met the Lawyer.

"Lawyer Zhou, really, I'm counting on you this time. I only have this one daughter, please, please don't let her go to jail!"

Li Guoliang said as he looked at Zhou Xinran in front of him.

Due to some strange mentality, Li Guoliang intended to hire a female Lawyer for the defense.

So, after using some connections, he found the law firm where Zhou Xinran works; because of Fang Dazhuang, everyone now says this is one of the best law firms in Jingzhou City.

After that, many lawyers in the firm had their own things to do, and the only ones with nothing to do were Zhou Cainiao and two other male lawyers...

So Zhou Cainiao was responsible for the reception, and after chatting for a while, Li Guoliang determined that this Lawyer is very capable!

He considered his own judgment to be good; although this Lawyer is a bit young, her level is definitely not a problem.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xinran smiled and said, "Mr. Li, don't worry. I will definitely do my best to help you. Let me understand the situation first."

Li Guoliang left after expressing his endless gratitude, and Zhou Xinran's face was full of fighting spirit!

Although she now has experience in independent practice, for every case, Zhou Xinran is serious and responsible!

She wants to become a great lawyer like Fang Dazhuang.

Having already signed the engagement contract, Zhou Xinran also knew the place where the girl named Li Hua was being detained, so Zhou Xinran packed up her materials, preparing to apply for a meeting.

…………

A few hours later, at the Detention House, Zhou Xinran met her client, a young girl who looked very young.

She already knew from Li Guoliang before that Li Hua is only twenty-four years old this year, very young.

"Li Hua, right? I am the Litigation Agent entrusted by your father, Li Guoliang. My name is Zhou Xinran, and now I need to understand the specific situation of the case with you."

Li Hua looked at Zhou Xinran; originally she had no reaction, but upon hearing the three words "Li Guoliang," she suddenly had an emotional breakdown.

"I want to go home, I want to see my dad, I want to go home, I don't want to be here..."

The crying and shouting made the police officer a bit helpless, and Zhou Xinran could only start to persuade her.

Well, a lawyer who isn't a psychological expert capable of psychological comfort isn't a good lawyer.

Finally, after persuading her for quite a while, Li Hua's collapsed emotions recovered a little, but she still sobbed when she spoke.

"I really didn't mean to steal them. I just, I just felt unhappy. Why is it that when my takeaway was stolen, I couldn't find the person?"

"Then I went to take their takeaways. It's not that I lack the money, I just... just felt that it gave me a thrill."

"Lawyer Zhou, Lawyer Zhou, you must help me. I really didn't do it on purpose, I don't want to go to jail..."

"They, the boss of that Company, they all knew someone was stealing takeaways, and then they deliberately watched me for three days and took a video."

"If they had just come out the day they saw me stealing, I definitely wouldn't have stolen again..."

Li Hua seemed to want to vent all her emotions; she just felt that those people also had problems.

"Lawyer Zhou, tell me, tell me, were they entrapment? They just wanted me to commit a crime!"

After coming in, Li Hua also learned the reason from the police officer: if the theft of public or private property does not reach a certain amount, but it happens three or more times within two years, it is also treated as Theft.

"They know the law, so they did this entrapment..."

There is a saying: nine out of ten clients are the same. When talking about their own criminal process, facing a lawyer, they will also subconsciously hide the bad parts.

Just listening to the accounts of those criminal suspects, you might even feel, "Damn, this person is a great person, how could they have been caught?"

For instance, Li Hua didn't mention that the other party had already posted a notice there to remind her.

Hearing this, Zhou Xinran frowned; she certainly didn't think there was anything wrong with the other party doing that.

Because if it were her in that position, she would have done the same.

Moreover, she had an inexplicable feeling that this approach was somewhat familiar—though perhaps "familiar" isn't the word, it was just an intuition, a woman's intuition!

After asking a few more questions, Zhou Xinran had a general understanding of the situation.

Leaving Li Hua to wait there for a while, Zhou Xinran went to find the relevant person in charge.

Here, a common doubt held by many needs to be addressed: in fact, the person in charge of the case will coordinate actions such as contacting the victim for corresponding compensation and issuing a Letter of Forgiveness.

Otherwise, where would a Lawyer go to find the victim's contact information?

This type of work also depends on the timing; during the investigation stage, one naturally goes to the Public Security Department.

And once it reaches the Review and Prosecution stage, all materials have been handed over to the procuratorial organ, so naturally, it is the comrades of the procuratorial organ who are responsible.

How do the case-handling authorities know the victim's contact information? That is even simpler; for example, if you go to report a crime, you must leave contact information.

Or, as before, when you give a statement, contact information and the like are also mandatory.

Thus, after coordination, Zhou Xinran quickly obtained the contact information for the two victims.

Stepping out the door, Zhou Xinran prepared to contact these two victims; in cases like this, the sooner the reconciliation work is carried out, the better.

Doing it earlier can allow the other party to feel the sincerity of her client.

Of course, other work must also be done; the circumstances of this incident are actually very minor, the subjective malice is very small, and the social harm is also very low.

So on the other hand, Zhou Xinran had to contact Li Guoliang to prepare money and apply for Bail Pending Trial; in a situation like this, it should be no problem.

At the very least, she wanted to get the young girl out first, otherwise, Zhou Xinran felt that if the other party stayed inside for too long, there would be problems.

After all, for a girl who originally came from a well-off family to be suddenly arrested and put inside, that kind of shock is too profound.

She looked at the two mobile phone numbers; one of them looked a bit familiar, but she couldn't remember whose it was.

We are the same in life; it's not that we can remember everyone's phone number, we just find them familiar.

She opened the phone, entered the number, and before it even started dialing, she saw that the name had already been automatically matched.

Zhou Yi (Little Notebook No. 2).

What the heck? Zhou Yi? She couldn't have entered it wrong, could she?

She hurriedly checked again; it was correct, it really was Zhou Yi. How could this matter be Zhou Yi again?

Zhou Xinran felt she hadn't checked the almanac when she got up today; how could it be related to him again?

The first time it was the two of them, the second time it was still the two of them, and now this time, it had become him again.

Frightened, Zhou Xinran immediately wanted to call Lawyer Fang to ask if there was a case...

Once bitten, twice shy.

However, she soon realized that this was a Public Prosecution Case, and even Lawyer Fang could only accept a commission from the victim's side...

No, she was getting confused by this name.

Things weren't like before; after spending so much time together, Zhou Xinran knew Zhou Yi's character.

He was a number-one petty person; getting a Letter of Forgiveness from his hands would be very difficult.

What to do? If she had known, she wouldn't have taken this case.

After hesitating for a long time, she still dialed the number; death comes sooner or later anyway. Remember, Little Zhou, you are Mengnan Zhou, you are absolutely not afraid of him!

…………

Another beautiful day, an auspicious day; sending someone inside to eat prison food is worth celebrating with a good meal.

Zhou Yi was strolling around the Small Residential District; his parents were already off viewing the beautiful scenery of Hannan Province and even said they would take many photos to send back to him.

Regarding this, Zhou Mouren's view was: as long as you are happy.

It wasn't that he, Zhou Yi, was a pervert, nor could it be said he was meddlesome, but there were always people who just wouldn't listen to advice.

No matter how you tried to persuade them, "Don't steal," they just wouldn't listen, thinking it was just stealing takeout, nobody cares, it must be fine.

Or they didn't take it seriously at all.

Speaking of which, I must mention that Su Dama was right.

As for what the family of that girl named Li Hua would do, that was unknown; perhaps they would be like Liu Xu's parents.

Perhaps they would be very reasonable; anyway, Zhou Yi only had one thought: let those who steal takeout receive an education!

Moreover, Zhou Yi planned to release a detailed tutorial video on this matter to explain to everyone what to do when facing such petty theft.

Perhaps many people watching his videos already knew, but there were always those who didn't; legal education, after all, assumes everyone is a Legal Blind.

"Boss Zhou, out for a stroll yourself!"

People without brains always make you want to curse; look at Song Xiaofei, never mind.

"Yes, I'm out for a stroll myself."

Brother Fei realized what he said was a bit off and hurriedly shut his mouth.

Zhou Yi was planning to chat for a bit, but his phone rang.

"Hello Xinran, what's up? Do you need something from me?"

After their trip to Modu last time, his relationship with Zhou Xinran had become slightly closer; at the very least, the address had changed from Lawyer Zhou to Xinran, and the other party didn't reject it.

After all, in a sense, he had made her experience the terror of Lawyer Fang twice in a row.

He had completed two missions; he was Lucky Star Zhou.

"That, Zhou Yi, I have something I want to find you about, do you have time?" Zhou Xinran on the other end spoke a bit hesitantly.

"Need to meet up to talk? Alright then, let's meet at Lao Difang."

It was probably about the other party filming a video again; he wouldn't bother Lawyer Fang this time, mainly because he didn't want to drink spiked coffee.

After greeting Song Xiaofei, Zhou Yi went to the basement to drive, and soon arrived at Lao Difang.

"Hey, Xinran, you're already here? That's fast. Let me get two coffees."

Zhou Xinran smiled upon hearing this: "No need, I've already ordered."

"Oh, no need then."

"Speak, what's the matter? Is there another problem with the video?" Zhou Yi sat down casually and asked.

"No, no, no, it's not a problem with the video, it's something else..."

Seeing Zhou Xinran's strange demeanor, Zhou Yi said helplessly: "Xinran, we can be considered friends now, right? You can just say whatever is on your mind."

"It's not like I'm going to eat you... Haha, ha, cough, cough."

A bit cold; not a good time for jokes.

"Alright, I'll just say it directly. That, Zhou Yi, I took on a case, a theft case. The client is a young girl named Li Hua."

Hmm... hmm? Li Hua?

Zhou Yi looked at Zhou Xinran with a bewildered expression. You actually took Li Hua's case?

Holy crap, do we have some kind of twisted fate between us? You actually managed to take this; how is it such a coincidence!

Perhaps Zhou Yi had been staring for a bit too long, as Zhou Xinran hesitated: "You... why are you looking at me?"

"Oh, I'm not looking at you. I just want to know, you didn't take this case on purpose, did you?"

Zhou Xinran said speechlessly: "If I had known the victim was you, I wouldn't have taken it even if it killed me. Now, the contract is already signed."

"So you're here to ask for a Letter of Forgiveness? That's hard for me to say. You don't know, that girl is truly infuriating!"

"We already gave her a Warning so many times, but she just wouldn't listen. When the police came to make an arrest, she was still there saying we were also at fault!"

"Because we left the takeout outside, that's what caused it."

"You tell me, Xinran, with this, how can I give a Letter of Forgiveness? I'm not even sure if she realizes her mistake yet!"
