Chapter 40 Judge: I've Been Tricked. This Guy Is Using Military Tactics!

"Lin Chuan has gone mad. He wants to accuse the public security bureau in front of the court. Do you think the Jinghai Political and Legal Affairs Committee will agree?"

"I think Lin Chuan is being impulsive. Making too many enemies is not good for the lawsuit!"

"That's right. Lawyers shouldn't ruin their relationship with the court."

"You know, lawyers only have the power to initiate litigation, but whether the litigation is accepted or dismissed ultimately depends on the court."

...

The viewers in the live broadcast room all thought that Lin Chuan's move was not quite appropriate. He shouldn't have dragged the police into this.

You know, even the law enforcement officers at the trial scene are members of the police force. Just imagine how important the public security bureau is within the public prosecution, procuratorate, and court system.

Lin Chuan's approach is very likely to upset the comrades in the public security bureau, and the court will also take into account the relationship with its colleagues and treat Lin Chuan's lawsuit unfairly.

As for the Jinghai Political and Legal Affairs Committee, there's no need to even think about it. How could the higher-ups allow infighting among their own?

After all, Jinghai is such a small place that administrative units at all levels meet each other frequently, and their cooperation is very close.

Therefore, no one believes that the court will accept Lin Chuan's litigation request.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Sometimes it's normal for the police to respond slowly.

"There aren't enough personnel, anti-terrorism drills, or sudden major cases, all of which will disperse police forces."

"Therefore."

"An occasional slow response cannot be a reason for sentencing."

Judge Nie Zhengyang didn't expect that the Gangcheng District Police Station would also become Lin Chuan's prey. This guy is really bold!

Knowing that the public prosecution, procuratorate, and court are all part of the same system, he still chose to go head-to-head.

Plaintiff's lawyer, your lawsuit is not quite reasonable. I will dismiss it solely in my capacity as presiding judge.

"If you insist..."

"Our three judges and jurors will discuss it, and the final verdict of the court will prevail."

"However, I still want to remind you."

"Only reasonable and lawful litigation requests have a high chance of being accepted by the court."

Nie Zhengyang tried to smooth things over and dismissed Lin Chuan's lawsuit with little confidence.

This lawsuit caused a sensation across the country, and Nie Zhengyang was entrusted with the task at a critical moment. To be fully prepared, he studied Lin Chuan, this "troublesome" lawyer.

After Nie Zhengyang repeatedly reviewed the video recordings of Lin Chuan's lawsuits, he found that this guy is a bit unpredictable. Sometimes he brandishes a sharp knife and stabs the air, startling you.

And sometimes he stabs you suddenly, catching you off guard.

His litigation techniques really have no pattern to follow. Nie Zhengyang painstakingly studied for a whole night and gained nothing. Finally, he concluded that Lin Chuan is an extremely dangerous person. During the trial, as long as Lin Chuan defends himself reasonably within the scope of the law, don't provoke him.

Regarding his litigation requests, if they are legal and reasonable, never dismiss them.

Otherwise, if this guy gets angry and turns his gun around, the consequences will be serious. Nie Zhengyang doesn't want to invite trouble for himself.

Therefore, when dismissing Lin Chuan's lawsuit, Nie Zhengyang used a slightly inquiring tone to persuade Lin Chuan, in order to maintain a good relationship with him.

"Lawyer Lin... That's enough. I don't really need an apology from the police station. Our main goal is Jiang Yun."

On the plaintiff's bench, Zhu Jiangguo was trembling with fear.

You know why this lawsuit is being filed.

For the past thirty years, Zhu Jiangguo has been hiring well-known lawyers everywhere to bring the suspect Jiang Yun to justice.

But now, it seems that Lin Chuan has deviated from the goal. Moreover, the public prosecution, procuratorate, and court are all part of the same system. If he insists on holding the police station accountable, then the plaintiff and the court will become estranged.

It's not worth it to make such a big deal over an apology that may or may not be necessary!

"Haha, Grandpa Zhu, don't worry. I have my plan."

Zhu Jiangguo understands this principle, so how could Lin Chuan not understand it?

The public prosecution, procuratorate, and court are all part of the same administrative system, and their connections are intricate.

How could Lin Chuan really offend the public security bureau?

This is his plan.

The second litigation request, asking the Gangcheng District Police Station to publicly apologize to the Zhu family, is just a smokescreen.

What's an apology worth?

It's insignificant.

There is a tactic in military tactics called "attacking the east while feigning the west." On the surface, Lin Chuan is holding onto the little tail of the Gangcheng District Police Station, but in fact, his second sharp knife is aimed at Officer Yang Yong, who destroyed the evidence back then.

Yang Yong is no longer the interrogator he used to be. With the support of the Jiang family, he has become the director of the office of the city police station.

His administrative level is not low.

If Lin Chuan came straight to the point and stated that his demand was to sentence Yang Yong to life imprisonment or even the death penalty.

Do you think the police would let him go?

A division-level official, sentenced by a lawyer from another province, where would the face of the city bureau be?

Therefore.

Lin Chuan used psychological knowledge to present a dilemma to the court and all the viewers in the live broadcast room.

In psychology, this technique is called "choice with a gap."

When you encounter a disliked difficult problem, you instinctively show resistance.

But when another even more disliked problem is presented to you, you tend to choose to solve the first problem.

Facing Lin Chuan's litigation requests, the first one is to make the police collectively ashamed.

The second is to sentence someone in the police force.

From the perspective of considering the overall situation, the answer is obvious. The police would rather hand over Yang Yong. But the premise is that Lin Chuan can provide sufficient evidence to prove that Yang Yong had destroyed evidence in the Zhu Lin case.

"Presiding Judge, I'll follow your advice."

"Let's drop the litigation request for the Gangcheng District Police Station to publicly apologize."

"But..."

"What about... the litigation request regarding Yang Yong?"

Lin Chuan pretended to compromise with Nie Zhengyang.

Nie Zhengyang's reaction was strong. He thought Lin Chuan really gave him face and felt very pleased. Little did he know, he had already fallen into Lin Chuan's trap.

"Regarding the part of your second litigation request about interrogator Yang Yong, I think it's reasonable."

"But."

"You need evidence."

"If you don't have evidence, then you're spreading rumors and will be held legally responsible."

Nie Zhengyang was overjoyed. He didn't expect Lin Chuan, who is a headache for all judges, to give him face. Therefore, he decided to give Lin Chuan some face as well.

As long as Lin Chuan can provide evidence proving Yang Yong's illegal actions, Nie Zhengyang himself would ask for him from above!

Hearing Nie Zhengyang's words, Lin Chuan felt confident.

He wasn't afraid of not being able to provide evidence, but afraid that if he did, the court would consider the relationship between the public prosecution, procuratorate, and court, and give a lenient sentence to Yang Yong after the police handed him over.

Section 54

But now Lin Chuan had no concerns. Everything said in court has legal effect. The presiding judge Nie Zhengyang had already guaranteed that as long as Lin Chuan has evidence, there will be no leniency in sentencing Yang Yong!

Thinking of this, Lin Chuan's lips curled into an arc, one that was harder to suppress than an AK!

Seeing the meaningful smile on Lin Chuan's lips, Nie Zhengyang suddenly woke up.

"Damn it, a lawyer is playing military tactics. I've been tricked by this kid!"
