Chapter 218: Lawyer Zhou, didn't you say it was fine? (Seeking monthly votes)

Is there really anyone stupid enough to commit a crime again during their suspended sentence probation period?

This is a question, yet in legal practice, there are indeed such people; not many, but they do exist, and the reason is simple.

The suspended sentence period is calculated based on the prison term; if the prison term is long, the suspended sentence period is naturally long.

The local staff responsible for executing the suspended sentence will conduct community correction on time, but as time passes, some people always feel that they are already free.

Of course, in a situation like Li Hua's, even the leaders at the Police Station were dumbfounded when they saw it.

So the question now is whether the other party's actions have reached the level of serious circumstances.

To put it bluntly, it is about the determination of Li Hua's behavior, to see if it belongs to defamation, or insult, or perhaps other circumstances.

Zhou Mouren is still quite clear on this point.

"I believe this constitutes defamation, because she said in her article that I was calculating and had never warned her, but in reality, I had already warned her."

"Therefore, she is fabricating facts to defame me. She is defaming me, and look at this click count, it must be in the tens of thousands by now."

"This number of reposts has already reached over a thousand, which is enough to constitute the crime of defamation. If a criminal private prosecution is needed, I can go file a lawsuit now."

In the office, the leader of the station looked at Zhou Yi, who was speaking eloquently in front of him, and after holding it in for a long time, finally asked a question.

"Mr. Zhou, have you ever worked as a Lawyer?"

Huh? Zhou Yi, who had been talking incessantly like Fang Dazhuang, was stunned for a moment and immediately showed a shy smile.

"Well... Director Liu, I haven't worked as a Lawyer. It's just that, the number of times others have defamed me is a bit high."

"And then, well, long illness makes one a good doctor..."

Zhou Yi indicated that this really wasn't his fault; who told the internet to have so many people who don't know how to guard their tongues.

You ask if their subjective malice is strong? It doesn't seem that strong; they are just moving their mouths, oh no, moving their hands.

Compared to those cases of intentional homicide or intentional injury, it seems far off, but one must know that internet rumors can also kill!

A point needs to be mentioned here: if your defamatory behavior causes extremely serious consequences, what might follow is not the victim's criminal private prosecution, but a public prosecution by the procuratorial organ.

Therefore, be careful when speaking online.

The leader of the station opposite him fell silent, probably having encountered such a person for the first time.

The nature of the other party's behavior determines how the revocation of the suspended sentence is carried out.

There are two situations here: the first is that a new crime is committed or a previously undiscovered crime is found during the suspended sentence probation period, in which case the corresponding People's Court will revoke the suspended sentence and impose a combined punishment for several crimes.

And the second is the occurrence of facts such as the other party violating laws and administrative regulations, where the Public Security Bureau applies to the People's Court to revoke the suspended sentence.

Half an hour later, Zhou Yi walked out of the door of the Police Station and immediately dialed Fang Dazhuang's phone number.

Regardless of the suspended sentence matter, at the very least, he felt that the other party was defaming him; even if it wasn't defamation, it was still an insult.

Describing himself as someone who only knows how to scheme, and even grinning—damn, Zhou Yi wanted to laugh at the time.

He was very curious about what the "grinning" in this Li Hua's article looked like, just as he had never understood what kind of laughter the "jie-jie-jie-jie" laughter in internet novels actually was.

Why is it that whenever villains laugh, it's like this...

Although this kind of laughter first appeared in early Jin-Gu wuxia novels and old-school Hong Kong comics, it was then passed down.

In the office, Fang Dazhuang's phone, who was discussing a case with Zhou Xinran in front of him, rang.

"Wait a moment, Xinran, it's Zhou Yi's call."

Lawyer Zhou nodded with a professional smile; well, I definitely have to wait, what else can I say.

However, she was in a very good mood right now; having just completed a full case, and a criminal case at that, made her feel that her luck wasn't that bad after all.

As the saying goes, when heaven is about to bestow a great responsibility upon a person...

Just at this moment, Fang Dazhuang, who had picked up the phone and said a few "uh-huhs," put the phone down and looked at Zhou Xinran with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

"Xinran."

"Eh, Teacher Fang, what's the matter with you?"

The Fang Dazhuang in front of her seemed to have become sentimental after taking a phone call.

"You just said that the client in your previous case was named Li Hua, the one who stole takeout from Zhou Yi and the others, right?"

"Yes, Teacher Fang, I was just about to tell you about this. Through my efforts, she is now on a suspended sentence, only eight months, it will pass quickly."

"As long as she reforms well, it will be fine."

*Cough cough*, Fang Dazhuang cleared his throat and said: "But Zhou Yi just called, and he said that your client posted an article online."

Huh? Zhou Xinran didn't react immediately and asked casually: "Posted an article? What kind of article? I saw that her mental state wasn't very good before."

"Actually, it's nothing much, she just spent a long time criticizing Zhou Yi in her own article, saying he was calculating, saying he was too scheming, and also saying he, saying he was grinning..."

By the end, Fang Dazhuang was also a bit speechless; on one hand, it was about Li Hua, and on the other, it was about Zhou Xinran.

Zhou Xinran had already realized the problem by now and suddenly said: "Teacher Fang, how are the click count and repost count of that article?"

"They've exceeded the limit, dead to rights."

Zhou Xinran: "ε=(ο｀*)))"

There was silence in the office; if it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have thought of the path of criminal private prosecution.

To be honest, the total number of criminal private prosecution cases in Jingzhou over the past many years doesn't add up to as many as this year.

Of course, regarding this situation, a certain handsome man surnamed Zhou has repeatedly stated that it has nothing to do with him.

Seeing that Zhou Xinran had stopped talking, Fang Dazhuang still spoke up: "I told Zhou Yi that I won't participate in this case, but honestly, it's really not difficult."

Zhou Xinran nodded without speaking; the case where she acted as Zhou Yi's agent before wasn't difficult either, but it ended up being mediated later.

And for this case, it was obvious that Zhou Yi would definitely not agree to mediation.

You just forgave her a moment ago, and the next moment she says that online?

Whether your previous apology had any sincerity, that's really hard to say.

"But you don't need to worry, after all, this is already a new crime, and the revocation of the suspended sentence has nothing to do with you."

Fang Dazhuang was still trying hard to persuade her.

However, Zhou Xinran only had one thought now; she wanted to cry for a while.

She felt as if she were being targeted.

"I didn't take this case because I'm not suitable to take it either. Anyway, it's very simple; as for you, see for yourself."

See if the other party will stir up trouble; if the other party stirs up trouble, then you absolutely must not take it.

On the other side, Zhou Yi hung up the phone and began to hesitate. He could understand why Lawyer Fang wouldn't take it, but Zhou Cainiao... that definitely couldn't take it.

Oh, it was referring to being his Litigation Agent here.

Then who else was there? Among the lawyers he knew, it seemed only that Lawyer Wang Daoren was left, plus another unlucky fellow.

He had already forgotten what the name was, but it was also a surname Wang anyway; he just remembered it was quite miserable.

After thinking for a while, suddenly, Zhou Yi thought of someone!

He picked up his phone and dialed: "Hello, Manager Quan, you let the legal department... what was her name again? Anyway, let her wait in my office the day after tomorrow morning."

"Ah? President Zhou, that's the legal department. If you want a Secretary, I'll find one for you," the General Manager on the other side said subconsciously.

What on earth? Zhou Mouren was stunned: "What are you talking about? I have something to find her for, about a lawsuit!"

"Oh, a lawsuit, okay President Zhou, I will notify her immediately."

When both Lawyer Fang and Zhou Cainiao were not suitable to take this lawsuit, Zhou Yi suddenly thought of the young lady from the company's legal department.

She was twenty-eight years old this year, but she looked very young.

Don't misunderstand, Zhou Yi had looked at her data file before.

And during this process, Lawyer Fang would help him sort out all the circumstances related to the case.

Men are just like that; they say they won't help, but behind the scenes, they run very fast.

Anyway, Xinran shouldn't agree again, a certain lawyer thought to himself.

On the third day, in the morning, in the Chairman's office, Liu Shiwen, also dressed in professional attire, was waiting quietly on the sofa.

She didn't know why the boss was looking for her either, just that she heard from Manager Quan that it was about a lawsuit. Would the boss look for her to handle a lawsuit?

Just as she was pondering, she saw the office door pushed open, and Zhou Yi walked in and said: "That, Lawyer Liu, right? I have a case here, it's said to be private, but it has a connection to the Company."

"See if you can handle it."

The boss really had a case for her; Liu Shiwen suddenly became excited. She wasn't that kind of eccentric person like Lawyer Fang; she just simply wanted to help her Chairman handle a lawsuit.

And by the way, get to know the Chairman, because she heard the Chairman was single...

In the past, rich and single men were always called a Diamond bachelor.

Zhou Mouren was actually already a hot commodity in the eyes of others now, but he was a homebody who rarely went out, a proper shut-in.

So he didn't know that there were still many people in the Company who were coveting Zhou Mouren's... wallet.

Liu Shiwen was of course the same. To tell the truth, for someone with Zhou Yi's status, it would be strange if there were no girls around him.

So Liu Shiwen quickly took the case file that had already been organized, looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly said with some surprise: "President Zhou, this is a Criminal Self-Prosecution Case!"

"It is possible, but..."

"Then handle it. What materials are needed, how much money, you tell me all of it. I only have one requirement: it must be done!"

"Okay President Zhou, let's see..."

Before Liu Shiwen finished speaking, she saw Zhou Yi had already walked out of the office and left without looking back.

Sigh, the days of getting close to the boss are long and arduous.

Let's work hard on the case first.

Although she had never handled a Criminal Self-Prosecution Case before, she didn't know who had organized this file, but the procedures were written very clearly inside.

First, one must know the identity information behind this account. Although one could guess it was Li Hua, one still had to have evidence.

The Public Security Department already had results on this matter. Still the same saying, it is very easy for public authorities to investigate this kind of thing.

Then, what she needed to do next was to go directly to file the Lawsuit.

Speaking of this, Liu Shiwen looked at the file again. She felt as if she were just a tool person; even if one took a dog to file the Lawsuit, it could still be Case Filing.

It was just that when the time came for the court session, she would need to Debate a few words...

She also didn't know who the other party's Litigation Agent would be.

Regardless of these, let's go to the Guangming District Court first.

One hour later, inside the Case Filing hall of the Guangming District People's Court, staff members had already begun to review the materials.

"Another Criminal Self-Prosecution, Wang Jie, which time is this this year?"

At the very beginning, they would be very surprised to see a Criminal Self-Prosecution Case, but later they slowly got used to it, and by now, they were a bit numb.

Wang Jie behind her laughed: "Anyway, there are quite a lot."

Wang Jie knew more. Regarding the surge in Criminal Self-Prosecution Cases this year, the Jingzhou City Court system believed this was a good thing.

Especially since the extra ones this year were all Private Prosecution Cases of online Defamation and Insult; this was a manifestation of the effectiveness of legal publicity work.

It was just that under their vigorous publicity, a Criminal Self-Prosecution Case appeared in Lincheng instead.

That Litigation Agent was unknown, only knowing the other party's surname was Liu.

The staff member reviewed it carefully, and then saw a familiar handsome name in the private prosecutor column—Zhou Yi.

Tch, I should have guessed it would be him again, but I really hope others can also come to conduct relevant Private Prosecution.

This review time was still quite long. Finally, the staff member notified Liu Shiwen that the review was complete and it could be Case Filing.

Don't look at this girl as young; her level is actually quite good.

Next was waiting for news. Zhou Yi wanted to return to Lincheng after attending the court hearing.

His parents had asked him to go back to see the renovation situation of their house; this point could not be forgotten.

In addition, Guan Yan had helped, so he had to go back to thank her; at the very least, he had to treat her to a meal.

Of course, Zhou Mouren did not know that after Miss Guan Yan finished that bowl of spicy hot pot, she felt it was very delicious.

So, for the next few days, she had to have a bowl every day, and with all the added stress, she successfully triggered hemorrhoids...

Shy face... Because she was a nurse herself, when facing the malicious intent of her colleagues, Guan Yan could only reply, "What's wrong? Never seen a beauty with hemorrhoids?"

Although she already wanted to move to another planet to live.

Waiting time is always so leisurely; for example, right now, Li Hua was very leisurely.

Except for the fact that the weekly Community Correction work was a bit uncomfortable, everything else was almost no different from a normal life.

Regarding the Case Record, Li Guoliang's meaning was that there was no way around it, but as her father, he could still manage to support her.

It was just that she hadn't figured out what to do about her boyfriend, Pan Rui.

The other party was a good man, but Li Hua just felt that Pan Rui wasn't manly at all.

What? What did it mean to be very manly? It was... it was that kind of feeling, you know? She couldn't explain it clearly.

"Huahua, don't worry, the application has already been submitted. As soon as it's approved, I'll take you out to have fun!" Li Guoliang said in the living room.

He only had one child, Li Hua, and she was a girl, so at this moment, he was trying every possible way to make her happy, just worrying about depression.

"You don't need to worry about other things at home either. You don't need to go to work for now; we'll talk about it after you recover."

"By the way..."

Just as she was about to say the words that followed, there was a knock at the door.

She got up to open the door, only to see a few familiar figures—not that the people were familiar, but the uniforms were, the kind she had dealt with quite a bit over the past period of time.

"Is Li Hua home?"

"Ah, I, I am."

For some reason, Li Guoliang's mood suddenly became tense.

"Comrades, comrades, what is it this time? Isn't my Huahua already fine? What's going on?"

The leading police officer stepped forward and said: "Li Hua, right? We have received the Criminal Case Filing Notice from the Jingzhou City Guangming District People's Court. The Guangming District Branch is now legally issuing a Criminal Summons for you. The Summons Decision is here."

"This is my Work Permit, and this is my badge number."

"Wait, wait, wait, comrades, this, what is going on? Why is there another Criminal Summons? Wasn't it just sentenced?"

The leading police officer clearly knew Li Hua's situation and explained upon hearing this: "The previous case is the previous case. Now, Li Hua is suspected of Defamation and a Criminal Private Prosecution has been filed."

"Li Hua, you also know the situation. Come with us now."

Li Hua's face was full of despair, but it was obvious that this sentence from the other party had stirred up her memories, and she didn't dare to say a word.

Li Guoliang was helpless, watching his daughter being taken away with his own eyes. Unlike last time, this time she was taken away right in front of him!

He picked up his phone and dialed a number directly. Upon hearing the other party's voice, he immediately let out an angry curse: "Lawyer Zhou, what is going on? Didn't you say it was fine? Why has my daughter been taken away again!"

On the other side of the call, inside the law firm office, although she had already been prepared, Zhou Xinran was silent for a moment after hearing these words.

She then said: "Mr. Li, I have a general understanding of your daughter's situation. She is now suspected of Defamation, not the previous Theft."

"The previous theft case has already been sentenced; this is a new case, and it has nothing to do with me."

"How does it have nothing to do with you? What did you say at the time? You said it would be fine after it came out, so why was she arrested again in less than two days?" Li Guoliang shouted over there.

"I don't care! If my daughter can't get out, I'm going to file a complaint against you!"

Being confronted one after another, even Zhou Xinran's temper couldn't take it: "You have to ask what your daughter did. She committed a crime, and you, as a father, didn't manage her. Can I stop her?"

"You can go wherever you want to file a complaint; it has nothing to do with me. That's it!"

Bang! She hung up the phone and began to stare blankly with wide eyes.

Previously, when she watched Zhou Yi's videos, she would laugh at those who said "you can go wherever you want to sue," but she didn't expect to encounter such a situation herself now.

But why? Why couldn't they just be reasonable?

She didn't know when Lawyer Fang had walked in.

He probably saw Zhou Xinran's mood and said casually: "Reasonable? If everyone in this world were reasonable, what would we need lawyers for?"

Making up for missed updates. It is now 55,000 words. Thanks to Wen Chi, Wuwade, Feimaowuyu, and the brothers for their tips, thank you.

One last thing: I changed careers several years ago, and I'm no different from everyone else. I've forgotten everything. There are many legal questions I really don't know, or even if I remember, it's very vague and easy to mislead. It's not that I'm intentionally not replying to you, but I will definitely reply to anything I know.
