Zhang Yue placed the information she had obtained from the police in front of her and answered her questions.
"The van was indeed overloaded. According to the survivors, they were from the same class and were nervous about the upcoming college entrance exam, so they decided to go on a trip together."
Jiang Yilai frowned even more as she looked at the situation in the car.
"There were eight people in their dormitory, but twelve in the car, which, including the driver, constitutes serious overloading,"
"The driver is still unconscious. It is said that he picked up another passenger on the way to save on fuel costs. As for the truck driver, he was driving normally and was not speeding."
Jiang Yilai raised a question: "Although the van was overloaded, it shouldn't be the main cause of the accident. Did any of the survivors mention this?"
Zhang Yue hesitated for a moment and said, "Currently, we have only communicated with one survivor who has regained consciousness. The others are either unconscious or have suffered severe head injuries and are not yet fully conscious, so we cannot collect further evidence."
"So he didn't say anything?" Jiang Yilai felt that something was off.
Under normal driving conditions, even if the vehicle is overloaded, it shouldn't cause such a serious accident unless something happens inside the vehicle.
He said he was sleeping at the time and vaguely heard a loud argument. Before he could react, the car had an accident.
"It seems that this is the main cause of the accident. Have the family members found a defense lawyer yet?"
"I have already contacted the local aid center and am preparing to file a lawsuit."
"This case still needs further investigation. I'll go to the police station later to get more information, and then go to the hospital based on the evidence I have."
Zhang Yue nodded, then asked with a puzzled look, "Director Jiang, putting aside the cause of the car accident, the hospital's actions are illegal; they have no right to do such a thing."
"That's beyond doubt, so we must consider the specific circumstances at the time before making a conclusion. Also, how did they end up contacting headquarters?"
Logically, this kind of thing should be reviewed by Jiang Yilai personally, so it's very abnormal that they skipped this step.
"I only received the news an hour ago, so I'm not sure of the specific reason."
"It seems I need to talk to them about whether they were able to get the injured person to the hospital in time after the accident."
"Yes, the ambulance rushed the person to the hospital for emergency treatment, and the most famous local surgeon performed the operation, but they were unable to save the person's life."
Jiang Yilai nodded, having roughly understood what had happened.
What the family finds unacceptable is that the parents made the decision to donate their heart to someone else without their consent.
Moreover, the family was very well-known in the area, leading them to suspect that this was a murder.
"Based on the current situation, it's a bit complicated, but of course, we can't rule out the possibility that it was murder."
After all, it's hard to gauge the situation, and Jiang Yilai needs to clarify the matter with all parties before deciding whether to take on the case.
Because her principle is that every case she handles must be on the side of justice, and she must win.
However, we must never aid and abet evildoers; therefore, we must thoroughly understand all the circumstances.
"So how should this case be handled now?"
"Tell them to go back and wait for news. If it's confirmed that I can take the job, I will notify them. Of course, if they want to find another law firm, that's fine with them."
She wouldn't take on such a life-or-death case without first understanding the situation.
Zhang Yue nodded in understanding: "I understand. I will convey your message to them."
