Chapter 103: Can I Tie Four People Up and Not Let Them Go?
Fu Yang looked at Han Zhiyu and asked:
"Big Brother, why are you connecting with me?"
Han Zhiyu was helpless.
"When the netizens in my livestream heard that I was your senior, they all shouted in disbelief and insisted that I connect with you."
He felt that these netizens were not here to consult him about legal issues, but to gossip.
Fu Yang smiled knowingly and said to the netizens in Han Zhiyu's live broadcast room through the screen:
"Don't doubt it, this is indeed my senior brother, a very good lawyer. If you have any legal questions, you can consult him online."
After seeing that Han Zhiyu's connection requirement only required a hundred yuan, Fu Yang said:
"My consulting fees are usually very expensive. If you need a connection, please seize the opportunity."
Han Zhiyu felt that he was praised by his junior sister, and he felt inexplicably smart and proud.
The netizens in his live broadcast room were already confused when they saw Fu Yang's smile.
"Sister, you're so beautiful! What are you babblein' about? I can't make out a single word."
[Hey, pretty sister Tietie, you really are a senior colleague of our lawyer Han. You both are quite good-looking.]
[It's a bit of a fantasy story. A Taoist priest and a lawyer, how did these two become brothers and sisters?]
[Great! This way, the brothers and sisters can practice both laws together and become invincible.]
[You brothers and sisters have taken care of both the court and the altar, right?]
[Defendant: What evidence do you have to prove that I killed that person? There is no evidence to prove it.
Sister Yang: Who says the dead can't speak? I'll ask my senior brother to come up and say a few words.
[This is getting heated for some reason! Lawyer Han, can you please stay connected to Sister Yang today? We want to see her!]
Han Zhiyu looked at Fu Yang and said:
"Xiao Yang, it seems that you are more popular than me in my live broadcast room. They don't want you to leave now. Are you busy? If you are, don't worry about them and just disconnect directly."
Fu Yang was happy to increase her senior brother's traffic.
"Then let's connect. I'll also take a look at what questions the netizens you're connected with are asking."
Han Zhiyu felt very happy, his junior sister was just great.
At this time, a netizen happened to be connected, and Han Zhiyu asked him to speak on the microphone.
This netizen connected anonymously, his avatar and username were hidden, and his voice sounded a bit strange, probably because he was using a voice changer.
But you can still tell that this is a man.
"Lawyer Han, I have a friend who has recently run into some problems."
Han Zhiyu looked at his hidden profile picture and username, which even had a changed voice, and his heart sank subconsciously.
Based on his experience, the case this person wanted to consult about was probably not a small one.
Han Zhiyu's expression remained calm.
"you say."
The male voice continued.
"I have a friend who is abroad recently and has encountered some problems."
"He kidnapped several international students and demanded ransom from their families. Now he's unsure whether to release them. What legal consequences will he face? If he returns to China, what criminal penalties will he face?"
The comments in the live broadcast room were all hahaha at the beginning.
【Those who understand, understand. I have a friend.】
[Okay, okay, we all know it's your friend, definitely not you.]
[Yeah, it's Liuzi again. His family must be very rich.]
But after listening to it, netizens stopped laughing.
[Huh? Kidnapping? No, is this true?]
Why is kidnapping being described so lightly? I thought it was a trivial matter.
When Han Zhiyu heard this, he thought, this is indeed a big case.
"How many people did your friend kidnap? What are their nationalities? Were they harmed during the kidnapping? How much ransom did he ask for?"
Man connected:
"There were four people kidnapped in total, two men and two women, all students from China studying abroad. My friend was in a bar. They were all friends and having a good time. They were taken away after they got drunk."
"There were two people, both of whom lost a thumb, and the total ransom demanded was 30 million."
"Now my friend wants to know what will happen to him after he returns to China if he releases the person as agreed. Also, he committed the crime abroad. Will he be safe after returning to China?"
Han Zhiyu:
"Is your friend also a citizen of this country?"
"Yes, he is."
Han Zhiyu:
"Since he is a citizen of this country, no matter where he committed the crime, he must abide by the country's criminal law. According to our country's criminal law, kidnapping and causing serious injury are definitely serious crimes and he will be sentenced."
The man's voice still sounded calm, but the words he said shocked everyone.
"In that case, shouldn't my friend let them go?"
What I mean is, he should be killed directly.
Netizens immediately transformed themselves into Sherlock Holmes.
[I guess he just wanted to kill the person and never thought about letting him go.]
Is it possible that the kidnapped person has escaped? This person would have definitely called the police, and the kidnappers would have been scared, so they came to consult.
[I also think the above speculation is reasonable. If all the hostages were in his hands, he could have just killed them directly and there would be no need to consult. The reason for consulting is to know what sentence he would receive if the police found out about his case.]
"No, I think all the hostages are still in his hands. He consulted to find out the difference in punishment between releasing them and not releasing them."
[But now it seems that the kidnapper wants to kill the person and run away. That way, there will be no evidence and no one will know that he committed the crime.]
Han Zhiyu immediately said:
"No, if your friend doesn't release them, then four lives will be lost. As soon as he returns to the country, he will definitely be executed."
"But if he chooses to release the person and no one dies, he will still be sentenced to a heavy sentence, most likely more than ten years to life imprisonment, but he will not be sentenced to death."
"Life sentences can be released one day after commutation, but if four people die, then there's no question the death penalty will be carried out immediately. There's no chance of a reprieve. So, the difference between releasing someone and not releasing them is huge."
Han Zhiyu tried to persuade the other party not to kill. He had seen so many cases and was basically certain that the friend the informant was talking about was himself, and that the kidnapped hostage was currently in a very dangerous situation.
He wanted to rescue the hostages.
But after listening to this, the man just said "I know" and disconnected the call.
Han Zhiyu was so anxious that he wanted to turn on his phone and call the police immediately, but he got no news.
Netizens in the live broadcast room were also worried about the four people.
[Alas, I hope the kidnappers have some conscience and release the person after receiving the money, otherwise it will be over.]
So when you're abroad, don't be too naive. Don't let your guard down just because everyone is Chinese. Sometimes, the people who harm you are the ones you know.
