Marrying into a rich family again, the road to becoming a partner

In Wu Ruize's cell, Li Xiao looked at his watch and saw that the hands were already pointing to 1:45.According to the deadline given to them by Secretary Wang, they still have four hours and 15 minutes to change Wu Ruize's fate.

Wu Ruize was surprised and excited to learn that his daughter agreed to visit him.

He paced back and forth in the cell and asked Li Xiao in disbelief: "Will my daughter... really come?"

"Of course," Li Xiao said firmly, "Don't worry, I have already told the warden. Even if she arrives after the stipulated time, the warden will agree to make an exception for you. So don't worry, I will definitely see you. 's daughter."

"The warden really agreed?" Wu Ruize obviously doubted the authenticity of Li Xiao's words. He stared into Li Xiao's eyes.

"of course."

Although these words were not entirely lies, and the warden was indeed shaken, when Li Xiao learned about the shortage of sodium thiopental, he hurriedly left and reported to Chen Zonghan.He did not hear the warden's promise personally, and this matter was not considered a definite fact.

At this moment, facing Wu Ruize's questioning, he couldn't help but look away with a guilty conscience.

"Lawyer Li," Wu Ruize's call forced Li Xiao's eyes to meet him again, "I am very grateful that you can come here to accompany me at this time. However, I am an adult, and I hope you will not take me Treat him like a child."

Li Xiao nodded a little ashamedly.

"I'm sorry." He said guiltily, "I did ask the warden, and he basically agreed. But our conversation was interrupted. Therefore, I did not get his definite approval. The best way , of course your daughter can reach it within the prescribed visiting hours.”

"Thank you for your candor," Wu Ruize nodded, "Then, please continue to tell me candidly now, why are you asking me about Yang Luoke. What does he have to do with my case?"

"You know, we are appealing for you," Li Xiao paused and continued, "Now there is a possibility that the appeals court will favor us, and our appeal case may turn around. They require us to provide more information. , so we are now using the power of the entire law firm to search for it.”

Hearing this, Wu Ruize's lips couldn't help trembling, and his legs suddenly began to feel weak. He held the edge of the table with both hands and sat down slowly.

"I'm sorry." Li Xiao looked at him and felt very uncomfortable. An inexplicable feeling of guilt began to spread. "I didn't tell you. I was just worried that if the appeal failed, you would be happy again." field."

Wu Ruize suddenly raised his head, looked into Li Xiao's eyes, and said firmly:

"Lawyer Li, it's my business whether you will be disappointed or not. As my lawyer, you only need to tell me the whole truth of the matter. As for success or failure, whether you can accept it or not, these are all my business. Please tell me , the whole truth.”

"it is good."

Looking at Wu Ruize in front of him, Li Xiao nodded.

In court, Chen Zonghan was arguing with the prosecutor to delay time.

"Although prosecutors have repeatedly emphasized that they are prepared to replace thiopental sodium with barbiturate sedative, which has the same anesthetic effect, the law is the law and we must act in accordance with the provisions..."

"Defense counsel," the judge began, "please pay attention to your tone and your sarcastic attitude."

"I'm sorry, your honor," Chen Zonghan changed his excited tone, apologized humbly, and continued, "Execution of the death penalty is a very serious matter. Therefore, we should not switch to anesthetics so hastily. This is against the law. Therefore, out of respect for the law and the basic ethics of legal practitioners, I hope the court will support our request. The temporary replacement of drugs is a serious violation of the spirit of the law and an unusually cruel punishment for prisoners."

The judge nodded and looked at the prosecutor:

"Prosecutor, I understand you..."

Suddenly, the judge frowned and looked at the young prosecutor sitting upright on the plaintiff's bench.

"Prosecutor," the judge said dissatisfiedly, "please stand up while I speak."

After hearing what the judge said, the prosecutor quickly stood up and pulled down his clothes in a panic.

"I understand that you are unwilling to change the execution date that has been set at will," the judge continued, "but what I don't understand is. Execution of the death penalty is an extremely serious matter, so why is there such a shortage of anesthetics."

"Your Honor, Heli Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is the only supplier of sodium thiopental in Bencheng. In fact, we submitted a purchase order to them in June this year, but due to various reasons, they have not delivered the medicine. .”

"Shifting the responsibility to the pharmaceutical manufacturing company?" Chen Zonghan snorted, "Your honor, the prosecutor's irresponsible attitude..."

"Okay, okay," before he could finish, the judge interrupted him, "Lawyer Chen Zonghan, I have received all your anger and dissatisfaction. Please stop."

"Yes, Your Honor." Chen Zonghan bowed slightly.

"Your Honor," the prosecutor emphasized, "there is a large amount of data showing that the barbiturate sedatives used to replace thiopental sodium are as effective as the original drugs. The defense attorney has repeatedly made a big fuss about this, It's nothing more than an attempt to delay the execution date."

"Although we all know that this is indeed the case. However, I still have to agree with the defense lawyer: 'The law is the law'. In any case, it should be our only criterion. I believe that for this, Prosecutor, you should have no objections.”

The prosecutor said nothing.The judge continued:

"If you want to carry out the execution as scheduled, you must find a way to mobilize available thiopental sodium from neighboring cities. Otherwise, the execution will be postponed until you get the drug."

After the judge announced his decision, he made the final decision.

Chen Zonghan packed up all the information as quickly as possible and rushed out of the door. .
