Wen Ying already knew what Wei Chengye wanted to do.
But she didn't expect Wei Chengye to choose this entry point.
Why couldn't the lawyers Du Li and Zhuo Chen later hire to convince the Feng family? Because they only wanted the Feng family to sign a letter of understanding. They promised financial compensation, and apologized emotionally... But they would never say to the Feng family in person that Zhuo Jinxin deserved the death penalty!
No defense lawyer would claim their client deserved the punishment, even if they felt that way, even if they knew the case had no chance of winning. Knowing it is one thing, speaking it out loud is another. Some cases can't be won if they're spoken out loud.
Wei Chengye dared to say what Du Li and other lawyers dared not say.
Based on Wen Ying's understanding of Wei Chengye, he must be sure to make up for it if he dares to say that!
"Lawyer Wei, you said she deserved it, so why are you appealing on her behalf?"
Wen Ying deliberately echoed Wei Chengye's tone. "I don't know whether Zhuo Jinxin has repented or not. Such a vicious woman, who knows if she's just acting? She showed no signs of repentance during the trial. She disregards other people's right to life. Why shouldn't she be sentenced to death? I hate Zhuo Jinxin. Not only did she hurt Xie Qian, but she also killed another innocent life and tore apart another innocent family!"
Wei Chengye was silent for a moment and answered irrelevantly:
"You're a nationally renowned bestselling author, so you're naturally very talented at writing. I heard from Chunqin that you're also doing very well in your major. I didn't expect you're also interested in law."
The term "right to life" is not something that everyone would think of using.
Most people would describe Zhuo Jinxin's behavior as "contempt for human life."
As soon as he heard Wen Ying's description, Wei Chengye knew that Wen Ying really understood the law.
In fact, before arriving at Wu Chunqin's house, Wei Chengye had already carefully researched Wen Ying's rise to fame. He didn't even need to investigate Wen Ying specifically, as much of her history could be found on the internet.
As soon as she gained a little fame, Wen Ying dared to sue others for defamation.
Later, he became even more famous and fought a highly-publicized plagiarism lawsuit.
An ordinary person may not go to court once in his life, but Wen Ying, despite being so young, has already had two lawsuits and won both times.
Even if she had no interest in law before, she will be interested after winning two cases in a row!
Wen Ying sneered, "Everyone should learn some Fa if they can. How can one have a sense of awe without learning Fa? Being ignorant of Fa not only makes it easier to make mistakes, but also makes it harder to defend one's rights when bullied!"
Wei Chengye said seriously, "Your concept is very good. The more common legal knowledge becomes, the more respect people will have for it. If a person's right to life is deprived, all other rights cease to exist. Therefore, the right to life is a citizen's most fundamental personal right. Protecting citizens' right to life from illegal infringement is also the primary task of our country's laws. I not only agree with your concept, I also agree with your moral condemnation of Ms. Zhuo Jinxin... However, morality and law cannot be confused. No matter what the case is, no matter who the person is, his or her right to defense must be protected according to law."
Wei Chengye used these clichés to answer Wen Ying and asked why he wanted to appeal on behalf of Zhuo Jinxin.
Wen Ying stared at Wei Chengye for a long time, then suddenly smiled:
"According to the law, Zhuo Jinxin has the right to appeal, but I also have the right not to speak to you, Lawyer Wei, correct?"
Wen Ying said this and turned away.
Wei Chengye stood there for a long time.
He never expected to succeed the first time.
No matter what the reason was for agreeing to help Zhuo Jinxin appeal, since he had taken on the case, Wei Chengye had to do his best to work for Zhuo Jinxin.
Zhuo Jinxin herself wishes that the charge be as light as possible, and she wishes the second trial would completely overturn the verdict of the first trial and have her not been convicted of intentional homicide!
Of course this is impossible!
Fortunately, after the beatings they suffered during this period, Zhuo Chen and Zhuo Yue no longer had any unrealistic idea of helping Zhuo Jinxin completely exonerate herself. Instead, their only wish was to save Zhuo Jinxin's life. If the Zhuo siblings had the same idea as Zhuo Jinxin, Wei Chengye would never have taken on the case.
There is still room for maneuver to save lives, and it can be done by commuting the death penalty to life imprisonment.
In order to change a death sentence to life imprisonment, in addition to finding loopholes in the existing unfavorable evidence, the attitude of the victim is also very important.
Wei Chengye will go to the Feng family.
Xie Qian was the target of Wei Chengye's main attack.
According to the Zhuo brothers and sisters, Xie Qian's attitude is very, very crucial.
Only after Wen Ying disappeared did Wei Chengye walk towards the school gate. Just now, he was limping and stumbling in front of Wen Ying, but now there was nothing unusual about his gait.
Wei Chengye's phone kept vibrating.
He took it out and saw that there were many missed calls, all from Wu Chunqin.
Wei Chengye didn't want to call Wu Chunqin back for the time being.
Wu Chunqin is not stupid. She didn't realize what was happening just now, but she should have realized it now and will definitely question his behavior.
Wei Chengye knew that what he did was not right, but he had no choice.
Xie Qian is a person with no loopholes, and the only breakthrough point Wei Chengye can think of is Wen Ying!
Wei Chengye walked near the school gate and bumped into Professor Shen who had searched most of the campus.
Professor Shen took a stroll around the artificial lake, enjoying the breeze. His feet ached from walking so fast. Seeing Wei Chengye, he couldn't help but curse, "Are you obsessed with money? We don't care what kind of cases you take on, but you shouldn't have taken advantage of Chunqin, let alone embarrassed a little girl! Wei, I despise you!"
Professor Shen's saliva sprayed all over Wei Chengye's face.
