Attorney General Lin was also a veteran of handling cases for many years. He could tell at a glance that the arguments in Gu Nianzhi's complaint file were not solid.
If they wanted to take it seriously, it wouldn't meet the standard of a murder case.
However, he also knew that this case had happened a long time ago. Most of the people involved were people of high status. Many things could not be treated the same as ordinary cases.
His fingers subconsciously rubbed the file. After thinking for a long time, he slowly asked, "Are you sure that Dr. Qin Yaoguang murdered Professor Qin Suwen?"
Gu Nianzhi understood the meaning behind Inspector Lin's words and said tactfully, "For now, that is exactly the case. But we all know that things may change after the trial. No one can guarantee this. The only thing I can guarantee is that Madam Qin Suwen was murdered. "
Prosecutor Lin nodded thoughtfully. "I'll tell you the truth. If you want to sue Qin Yaoguang for murder, the weight of this complaint is indeed not enough. If they find a better lawyer, a lot of your evidence will be refuted. You have to be mentally prepared. "
Gu Nianzhi also knew that her preparations weren't perfect. Even she could pick out a few of them and directly refute them.
However, the situation was urgent. She was now racing against time. She did not have more time to complete the complaint file.
Gu Nianzhi would only have more time to prepare for the trial after the Procuratorate had filed the case, the court had accepted the Procuratorate's complaint, and the court had set a date for the trial.
Moreover …
Gu Nianzhi smiled. The opposing lawyer probably had no idea what her goal was.
They could only refute the evidence she presented. Whether it would be effective or not, they would have to wait and see.
Seeing that Gu Nianzhi had made up her mind, Attorney General Lin looked at He Zhichu inquiringly. "Young Master He, what do you think? In my opinion, we can accept and file this case, but if we really go to court, we won't have much chance of winning. "
It wasn't that it wouldn't be big, but it would be very small.
Gu Nianzhi was fully aware of this, so she immediately said, "Attorney General Lin, I won't cause you any trouble. I can be your trial lawyer, completely free of charge. "
This was because murder cases could only be prosecuted by the prosecutor's office. However, the prosecutor's office could hire an outside lawyer to help them defend in court.
There was no problem then.
Prosecutor Lin told him the truth. "Due to the urgency of your case, I'm afraid we don't have someone here who can familiarize themselves with the case and your file in two or three days. In this case, he would be in a very passive position during the court debate. You don't want the evidence you've painstakingly collected to be refuted by the defense lawyer, do you? "
"Of course not. That's why I want to be your external defense lawyer and personally face the other party's questioning." Gu Nianzhi said without hesitation, "I hope Attorney General Lin will give me this opportunity."
Prosecutor Lin looked at Gu Nianzhi and asked hesitantly, "Forgive me for asking, but how old are you?"
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
"I don't mean anything else. I just think you're quite young and don't have much experience in court …"
Gu Nianzhi's court experience was all in the other world. On this side, she had only fought against Qin Yaoguang when she had been kidnapped by her when she was young.
Although that lawsuit was exciting, it wasn't as difficult as this one. Also, there was sufficient evidence, and Gu Nianzhi was the victim. Therefore, although she had won, the industry insiders didn't pay much attention to it.
Moreover, she had only won one lawsuit.
If Gu Nianzhi personally went to court and acted as the prosecutor's lawyer, then she wouldn't have to face the same powerful team of lawyers as in the previous lawsuit.
Attorney General Lin didn't know if Gu Nianzhi was mentally prepared.
Seeing this, He Zhichu took the initiative to say, "Don't worry, Attorney General Lin. I'll vouch for Nianzhi. If she loses the case, I won't blame Attorney General Lin. "
Attorney General Lin smiled. "Winning or losing the case is actually not as important to us as it is to your client. I hope you're fully prepared. "
At this point, Gu Nianzhi knew that there was no problem filing the case.
Next, she helped Attorney General Lin rewrite the materials, put them into the Procuratorate's official document system, and sent them to the court.
Now that they could all send them electronically, it was much more convenient and faster than before.
The court accepted the complaint filed by the Procuratorate and received a call from Attorney General Lin, as well as He Zhichu's guarantee. Therefore, the next morning, the court notified the Procuratorate, Gu Nianzhi, and He Zhichu that they had accepted the complaint and began to schedule a trial date.
Gu Nianzhi wanted to catch the other party off guard and requested that the trial date be as soon as possible.
He Zhichu contacted the court system again and confirmed that the trial date was three days later.
..
The court summons was sent to Old Master Qin of the Qin family.
He looked at the letter sent by his subordinate and asked in surprise, "… What's going on?"
"Old Master Qin, this is the court summons for the He family to accuse Ms. Qin Yaoguang of murdering Qin Suwen." Old Master Qin's subordinate didn't dare look up at him. "The trial date is in three days."
"Nonsense!" Old Master Qin roared. "They dared to falsely accuse my daughter! When did my daughter harm Qin Suwen?! Her sudden death was obviously Gu Xiangwen's fault! What about General He? Does General He know? "
"We're not sure about that. But I heard that General He is still recuperating after the surgery and hasn't woken up yet. "
"No wonder!" Old Master Qin snorted. "Get me a team of lawyers and coordinate with the court to postpone the trial. Let's see what General He has to say when he wakes up. "
"Okay." His subordinate nodded. "How long do you want to postpone it?"
"How long can it be postponed at most?"
"… A murder case involving human life can be postponed for up to six months, but this case has already been going on for a long time. The court won't agree to postpone it for that long. Usually, it's a month." Old Master Qin's subordinate was in charge of legal affairs and knew these basic knowledge very well.
"Then postpone it for a month first." Old Master Qin snorted coldly. "Then form a team of lawyers as soon as possible and follow me to the detention center to see Yaoguang."
Qin Yaoguang already had a kidnapping case on her. If there was another murder case, she wouldn't be able to come out alive.
Old Master Qin's pupils constricted suddenly.
Also, why did the other party suddenly want to accuse Qin Yaoguang of murdering Qin Suwen?!
There was no such possibility?
Qin Suwen's death could be said to have nothing to do with Qin Yaoguang.
Old Master Qin didn't have to worry, but when he thought of another matter, his face turned gloomy.
He couldn't let the other party catch any flaws.
Qin Yaoguang had nothing to do with Qin Suwen's death, but the other party's complaint was related to the He family. Old Master Qin didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
