Chapter 2052

~8 min read 1,413 words

After eating in the cafeteria, Wu Huilin and Zhou Andong came out: "Are you still going to the music festival site this afternoon?"

"Go for a wander." Zhou Andong lit a cigarette: "Are you going?"

"I'm not going." Wu Huilin shook her head: "By the way, do you remember the case where Jiang Xiaobai employee Guan Jianming killed his father?"

(Please look back at Chapter 1932 if you forgot)

Zhou Andong was stunned, then reacted. He almost forgot about this matter.

"Remember, is there any progress in the case?"

"Right!" Wu Huilin said: "Didn't you say he is our factory employee, and killing was also forced, which is excusable, and you want to find a lawyer to help him?"

"I checked the situation with Chairman Qian again and let the group's legal department represent this case. According to their investigation and analysis during this period, there is no problem with Guan Jianming's life being saved. The probability is life imprisonment, and the small probability is death with reprieve.

Originally, according to your idea, the possibility of a fixed-term sentence is not high. After all, he slashed a total of nineteen times, and there is no way to defend it as intentional injury or excessive defense.

But a turning point appeared. Many of Guan Jianming's old neighbors, about forty people, are willing to testify in court to prove that Guan Jianming and his sister were beaten by domestic violence since they were very young.

The legal department said this is very important. With these neighbors testifying in court, plus Guan Shihai was implementing domestic violence against Guan Jianming's sister and stepmother at the time, Guan Jianming's passionate murder is excusable, and the possibility of a fixed-term sentence has greatly increased."

Zhou Andong asked: "If it is a fixed-term sentence, how many years can it be?"

Wu Huilin said: "I also asked the legal department about this. According to common sense, if Guan Jianming's case is a fixed-term sentence, the probability is between twelve and fifteen years. But if Guan Jianming is identified as passionate murder, it is under ten years."

"Passionate murder?"

Zhou Andong said a sentence. He is not unfamiliar with this term, but he has never understood what passionate murder is.

"I don't know what passionate murder is either." Wu Huilin said with a smile: "The legal department explained that passionate murder refers to the situation where there is no intention to kill, but under the stimulation and provocation of the victim, one loses reason, loses control, and kills the victim.

Although passionate murder belongs to intentional homicide in terms of the nature of the crime, because there is no premeditation in advance and the subjective malice is relatively light, this factor must be considered in sentencing.

It's just that the term passionate murder has been proposed in recent years, and it is not in the Criminal Law, and it is very difficult to be identified in reality. However, the legal department still decided to defend Guan Jianming as passionate murder."

Zhou Andong pondered and said: "If the defense is really successful and the court identifies Guan Jianming as belonging to passionate murder, for our country's law, it will definitely be a leap forward, and our Yugong Group legal department will also be famous throughout China."

Speaking of this, Zhou Andong laughed, then shook his head again: "But I am not optimistic. There were no cases before. Wanting the court to identify Guan Jianming as belonging to passionate murder requires the judge to have great courage, but how many people will take risks for an unrelated person?"

In the previous life, just a justifiable defense, this road was walked for decades without being understood.

So, I want to thank Kunshan Brother Long. It was he who used his life to let justifiable defense walk out of the quagmire and realize a leap.

Wu Huilin doesn't understand domestic law: "We will do our best. As for the final result, let's leave it to fate."

Wu Huilin entered the factory building, Zhou Andong got in the car, arrived at the music festival site, found Yao Jun again, and the two began to wander around everywhere.

Because it was noon, the business of selling beer, soda, ham sausages, bread, and instant noodles outside the venue was very prosperous.

Some people with flexible brains even brought their gas tanks and stoves from home. Those who needed it were given boiled instant noodles, with a processing fee of five cents per pack.

And last night, many foreign tourists slept in tents, because there were a large number of police, armed police, and security guards patrolling here 24 hours a day, and they felt that this place was safer than anywhere else.

For example, Xu Wei and the others grabbed a tent. Their pockets were still relatively shy. There were tents here, and accommodation was allowed, which indeed gave them a big surprise.

More importantly, there was a sales point behind their tent, with beer, drinks, sausages, instant noodles, and various small snacks, and it wasn't expensive.

Last night at ten o'clock, the music festival ended, and they drank until past three in the morning. After seven o'clock in the morning, people started to come here, and the noisy crowd didn't wake them up.

It wasn't until almost eleven o'clock that they got up. At this time, everyone was holding a convenient box, squatting in the tent eating instant noodles. Even though the electric fan in the tent was whirring, their foreheads were all sweaty.

"Eat quickly, it's past twelve o'clock. At one o'clock, the warm-up singer will go on stage to perform. We don't know which one we are to go on stage."

Tong Tong said while eating: "This time is our only opportunity. If we miss it, we will have to spend this life in regret."

"Hiccup!" Xu Wei burped, stuffed the half ham sausage in his hand into his mouth, and muttered: "Right, everyone hurry up and eat, don't delay business."

They were eating, and Zhou Andong walked past their tent. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. His luck today was not very good. Among tens of thousands of people, he didn't see a single singer who would be famous in the future like Dao Ge and Xu Wei.

Just when he was disappointed, footsteps and voices came from behind.

"Did you see Chen Lin?"

"She said she went to the restroom and let us wait for her at the old place."

"You go first, I'll go buy a crate of beer."

"I'll go with you, and buy some small snacks."

Zhou Andong slowed down. Several people walked past him. Although he only saw their side faces, he still recognized them. One was Aida Jin, one was Lao Lang who sang "Friend", and one was Xiao Jian who sang "My Classmate".

There were two other people, Zhou Andong didn't know them, but being able to be with Aida Jin and the others, they should also be people in the circle.

Zhou Andong had no interest in these people. What he was interested in was Chen Lin. He didn't know if it was the Chen Lin he knew.

Then, he followed the other people unhurriedly. There were too many people, coming and going, and they didn't notice that someone was following behind.

Aida Jin and the others bought beer and snacks, then walked to the southernmost part of the stage. There was a forest there that was very cool, quite far from the stage. Listening to songs was no problem, but they couldn't see the actors singing on stage clearly.

It's just that there were quite a few people here. Zhou Andong was happy when he saw it. Most of them had artistic long hair. At first glance, they were all into music, sitting in groups of three or five in the shade of the trees, either drinking or playing cards.

When they saw Aida Jin and Xiao Jian, those who knew them raised their hands to greet them, and those who didn't also looked up.

Zhou Andong and Yao Jun also found a tree shade to sit down, and then the two lit a cigarette, listening to the idle chatter and bragging of these people.

After about ten minutes, Zhou Andong watched a short girl walk over. It was Chen Lin.

At this time, Chen Lin had not been tortured by illness, was in her youth, full of vitality, and looked quite beautiful.
