Attorney Zhou's face was full of regret, but his eyes were very firm.
Considering that he rushed over and did such a detailed analysis, he must be determined to take on this case.
"No wonder you're so interested. It turns out we've met before. There really is some kind of fate between us."
"President Jiang, back then, Shengshi refused to take on this case because they thought it would be too time-consuming and laborious. I couldn't resist the family's desperate pleas and conducted a private investigation. Indeed, there are many suspicious points in this case. Based on my intuition over the years, Liu Wei is innocent."
Jiang Yilai smiled calmly and said, "So you want to make up for the regret of that year and help him prove his innocence."
Attorney Zhou nodded truthfully: "I was unable to help them back then. Seeing that the family had nowhere to turn for help, and Liu Wei was eventually sentenced to prison, but the family has not given up over the years, I want to stand up for them."
Jiang Yilai cast an admiring glance at him and praised, "It's really great that you have this sense of justice; this is the spirit that our law firm should have."
"So, you agree to take on this case." Ultimately, we still need Jiang Yilai's approval.
Jiang Yilai said firmly, "Of course we must accept wrongful convictions. No matter how troublesome the verification process may be, I will fully support it."
Attorney Zhou was extremely grateful. "Thank you so much, Mr. Jiang. With your assistance, I'm confident there won't be any problems."
Jiang Yilai added, "You must remember that this case also involves a very important point, which is the issue of forced confessions from back then. If it really was the fault of the law enforcement officers, they will also face imprisonment."
Attorney Zhou stated unequivocally, "That's for sure. They tortured innocent people into confessing in order to close the case as quickly as possible, and we will never tolerate that."
Seeing that Attorney Zhou was full of confidence, Jiang Yilai couldn't say anything to discourage him. Cases involving officials are indeed very difficult.
This is why no one has been willing to help with the appeal in recent years.
It is said that the common people cannot fight against the officials. Once this kind of thing starts, it will have a lot of impact on both individuals and law firms.
Despite this, Jiang Yilai was already on the path of justice and supported his actions without hesitation.
"Okay, go ahead and prepare. Let me know if you need any assistance."
With a broad smile, Attorney Zhou took the documents and said, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Jiang. I'll go collect the evidence now."
Jiang Yilai nodded in acknowledgment, and after he left, she let out a soft sigh.
Considering that this old case is difficult to handle, it seems I should help him out.
Jiang Yilai casually called Luo Chen; since they had this acquaintance, why not use it?
Luo Chen answered quickly, "Attorney Jiang, what made you think of calling me?"
"Officer Luo has helped me a lot before, and I was wondering if you're free tonight? I'd like to invite you to dinner."
"Of course I'm free when a beautiful woman invites me."
"Okay, I'll book the table and send it to you later."
"no problem."
Jiang Yilai knew that this person was straightforward and had a strong sense of justice. He must know about the cases that had happened over the years, so asking him for help was the most appropriate thing to do.
Just as Jiang Yilai finished booking and sent the reservation, Fu Nanxiao called.
Seeing Fu Nanxiao's call, she suddenly remembered that the two of them had arranged to have dinner together that evening.
Jiang Yilai quickly answered the phone and heard the other party's cheerful voice.
"Lai Lai, I've already booked a Western restaurant, the one you used to like, and I've even prepared a surprise for you."
Jiang Yilai frowned after hearing this. She had just made an appointment with Luo Chen, and Fu Nanxiao had his eye on the restaurant. It seemed difficult for her to refuse either of them now.
