Jiang Yilai felt a headache listening to these descriptions. These young people were impulsive and capable of doing anything in a fit of anger.
What Jiang Yilai needs to figure out now is the true circumstances of the other party's murder, whether it was accidental or excessive, as different circumstances will affect the final judgment.
"According to you, even his family can't control him."
Li Wen nodded with tears in her eyes: "Yes, no one can restrain him, and he has only become more and more outrageous, blaming me for spreading these things."
Seeing her panicked expression, Jiang Yilai comforted her, "Don't be afraid, he's already gone. Just explain everything clearly."
Li Wen sobbed, “Last night I was shopping with my friends when we ran into him and some friends having a late-night snack. He insisted on dragging me in to drink with him. When I refused, he hit me.”
She then added, "My friend can testify to this; it was she who called my brother over."
Jiang Yilai nodded slightly: "Take your time."
"When my brother arrived, he saw him bullying me and went to confront him. Unexpectedly, his gang attacked him and tried to drag me away. The situation was chaotic, and when my brother saw I was about to be taken away, in a moment of panic, he grabbed a knife from the shop and stabbed him..."
Jiang Yilai took a deep breath, signaling her to continue.
Li Wen added, "No one expected that my brother's knife would hit a vital spot. He died after being rushed to the hospital. The police have arrested him, but he really didn't do it on purpose."
Jiang Yilai frowned even more deeply after hearing this. Although the other party was definitely at fault, there were multiple factors at play in this situation.
Moreover, both sides harbored deep-seated grudges, so it's hard to say whether they did this with a vengeful mindset.
This kind of matter cannot be concluded by one party alone. Even if one is the victim, the case needs to be judged according to the law.
Faced with Li Wen's anxiety and panic, Jiang Yilai remained calm.
“I understand what you’ve said. The police will definitely investigate this matter further, and I will go there to collect evidence.”
Li Wen stepped forward, grabbed her hand, and asked excitedly, "Attorney Jiang, can I ask you to be my brother's defense lawyer? I heard you win all your cases."
"It's not that we can win as you say. I'm just standing on the side of justice, helping them gain more benefits, and I won't let any bad guys get away with it."
“They are bad people. Now they want to sue my brother for intentional homicide. He will be sentenced to death. Please help him.”
“I understand your situation. Next, I need to find out about the other party’s situation. Only after everything is confirmed will I decide whether or not to act as your defense lawyer.”
Li Wen cried, "If you don't help us, I really don't know who else can defend my brother."
"Don't get too agitated. These things take time. I'll contact you once the investigation is complete."
Although it's clear that Li Wen is indeed a victim, we can't draw any conclusions without understanding the details.
Jiang Yilai asked Zhang Yue to see her out first, while she called the police in charge of the case.
Unexpectedly, after only two days of rest, Jiang Yilai has taken on such a difficult case again, so she has to be on her guard.
Jiang Yilai was busy until she got off work. When she walked out of the office, she saw Fu Nanxiao sitting on the sofa in the lobby. He waved lazily when he saw her.
When did you arrive?
"Half an hour ago."
