Becoming a lawyer starts with raising a Xiezhi

Chapter 419 The Story Behind the Behavior

After the meeting came out, Niu Zhao said: "Although Du Xuening is a murderer, I can't hate him at all."

Meng Lang smiled and said, "Why do you hate him?"

Niu Zhaodao: "He is a murderer. Although we are his lawyers, we still despise him in our hearts."

Meng Lang said: "Actually, whether you hate a person or not doesn't depend on his behavior, but on the story behind the behavior. If you don't know the story behind the murder in advance, you will hate him just the same."

"How do you say that?" Niu Zhao turned his head and asked.

Meng Lang said: "If Du Xuening is a rebellious son, and then he kills his mother, do you hate him?"

Niu Zhaodao: "If he is such a person, I will definitely hate him. He is so rebellious and outrageous, and the laws of heaven cannot tolerate it."

Meng Lang smiled and said, "You are right. This is about the story behind the behavior. When we defend, we must clearly tell the story behind the behavior, so that we can impress the judge and let them make a ruling that is favorable to the client."

Niu Zhaodao: "Stories can be made up, but facts cannot."

Meng Lang said: "This is natural, but if you don't know how to use facts and evidence to weave a story, how can you impress the judge?"

Niu Zhaodao: "You are really becoming more and more professional. The situation Du Xuening is talking about now is not a fabricated story, is it? Is there water?"

Meng Lang said with a smile: "Whether there is moisture or not needs to be proved by evidence, so now we need to find evidence for these stories and provide them to the court."

"Are you still going to the village?" Niu Zhao remembered the last time he went to the village and was blocked by others.

"This time there will be no danger. He killed his mother." Meng Lang said.

"Free defense, why do you spend so much effort? I really don't know what you think." Niu Zhao was a little reluctant, because this was another free defense.

Meng Lang smiled and said, "I'm defending for free, but you're not. Afterwards, I'll give you money, how much do you want?"

"I don't want your money. You gave me such a big jade, how can I ask for your money again?" Niu Zhao rolled his eyes at him.

Meng Lang said: "One code equals one code. That's what I gave you. You deserve it. You are my assistant. It would be very inappropriate if I don't give you money. Let's do it this way. I won't give you more." I'll give you 10 yuan."

"One hundred thousand? Why do you want to give me so much?" A criminal case usually costs about fifty thousand in attorney fees, and one hundred thousand is quite a lot.

"It's only one hundred thousand, what's more? I'll have the finance department pay it to you later," Meng Lang said.

Niu Zhao really didn't understand Meng Lang's brain circuit, defending others for free and then paying her, isn't this a loss-making business?No matter how rich he is, he can't do this kind of thing.

Meng Lang and Niu Zhao went to Du Xuening's village together.

At this time, his father happened to be at home, and when he saw them coming, his father rushed out to greet them and invited them to the house for a cup of tea.

Du Xuening's home was still three tile-roofed houses with a large yard, and there were several chickens and ducks in the yard. When people entered, the chickens and ducks would start to call.

Niu Zhao almost pinched his nose and went in. The yard smelled of chicken and duck excrement.

"Are you still living here now?" Meng Lang asked after walking in.

Du Xuening's father, Du Xianren said: "The child doesn't live here anymore, I still live here."

"Where does the child live?" Meng Lang asked.

"The second child moved to the building behind." Du Xianren said.

"Your house has also built a building?" Meng Lang asked.

Du Xianren said: "If it's covered, it won't work if it's not covered. You won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law."

"Then how many buildings did you build?" Meng Lang asked.

"One building was built for Xiaoxiao to get him a wife. Who knew this would happen." Du Xianren wiped away tears as he spoke.

"Did Xue Ning talk about having a wife?" Meng Lang asked.

Du Xianren said: "No, the second child is also at the age of marrying a wife. There are few girls in rural areas, so it's hard to say."

"Where is the body buried?" Meng Lang asked.

"It's over there." Du Xianren pointed to the west of the yard.

When Niu Zhao heard about it, he was startled and took a few steps back. After Du Xuening killed his mother, he buried the body in the west of the yard. Now that the body has been dug out, his younger brother must not dare to live at home.

"Your wife has an intellectual disability. Does she have any disabilities?" Meng Lang asked.

"Yes." Du Xianren said hastily.

"Bring it to me so I can submit it to the court," Meng Lang said.

Du Xianren went to get his disability certificate.

After reading the disability certificate, Meng Lang asked Du Xianren to call a few neighbors over to ask them questions and understand the situation.

After Du Xianren heard this, he hurriedly went to greet the neighbors nearby, and as a result, several older people came, and the younger people who were still staying at home all went out to work.

After seeing these older neighbors, meng lang asked them what they said.

"Who brought up Du Xuening?"

"His grandma brought him up. The two brothers are born to a mother but not a mother. They are very pitiful."

"Does Du Xuening's mother not take care of Du Xuening and his brother?"

"What are you taking care of? She is just a fool with a brain problem. She doesn't even know how to feed and clothe herself. How can she still take care of the two brothers?"

"Are all the people in your village laughing at her?"

Hearing this question, the neighbors in the village laughed and said: "She has been silly, wearing dirty clothes, wandering around the village all day long, and no one laughed at her. Even the two brothers Xiaoxiao saw her mother there. When he was wandering around the village, he would come up to her and tell her to go home, and every time he would scold them both in return, and everyone in the village knew about it.”

"It's actually quite pitiful for her mother to be like this. If she had normal intelligence, she wouldn't be like this. Didn't you help their family?" Meng Lang asked.

"Help, why don't you help? The clothes that can't be worn at home will be sent to the brothers. His mother can't wear clothes, and he can't buy clothes. His grandparents have no money, and his father works outside all day. If we don't Help their family, I don’t know what will happen to this family.”

"Did Du Xuening beat and scold the two brothers all day long?"

"His mother likes to talk to herself, nagging, she is not normal, she doesn't scold very much, and beating is relatively rare. It was fine when they were young. When the two brothers grow up and become sensible, they will despise his mother. As soon as they nagged, the two brothers would get angry, quarrel with their mother, and their mother would scold them and beat them, we often heard their family quarreling, and we are used to it.”

"Then what do you think about Du Xuening killing his mother? Are you talking about it in your village?" Meng Lang asked about it.

These neighbors asked separately, but after hearing this, they all bowed their heads and thought for a long time before answering.
