What if they talk too much and say something else? Yi Mei thought to herself.
"Of course, after all, my wife's name appears in Zhao Kuan's new confession, so I can't remain silent. I told the prosecutor, you see, to this extent, there is no need for her to be on the witness stand. It may not be right to say so. That's great, but that lady has a very high social status. Unlike gangsters like Zhao Kuan, Fang Da, and Chen Bing, she can't cause too much trouble to others, and she can't make them appear in court. The prosecutor replied upon hearing this: , I understand, as far as this is concerned, it’s no problem.”
Zuo Yi took a puff of cigarette and continued: "If neither the prosecutor nor the defense lawyer applies for my wife to be a witness, my wife will not have to appear. As for the judge, no matter what the defendant said, he will probably just ignore it. Accepted. Because during public trials, some citizens who have nothing to do with the case are always randomly invited to observe, and the judge does not want to cause any privacy problems to the parties involved."
Zuo Yi did not say "causing trouble to the parties involved", but added the word "personal privacy" in the middle. From this alone, it can be seen that he knows the relationship between Zhao Kuan and himself. No, it's not just speculation. Since Zhao Kuan said his name, he must have confessed everything. After discussing with the lawyer, the prosecutor gave up allowing Yi Mei to be a witness. Presumably this was a judgment based on this fact. Thinking of how Zuo Yi viewed herself, Yi Mei had no choice but to bow her head. At this moment, her mind flashed back to Zuo Yi's eyes staring at her fingers when she was taking out a cigarette.
Zuo Yi coughed as if feeling embarrassed.
"Then..." Different from before, his voice became deep and steady, "There is something I heard from Mr. Yan Huaiqing. It is said that the lady leaked a little bit, meaning that she hoped that Zhao Kuan would stay longer in prison. The longer the better, right?”
"Yeah." Yi Mei nodded clearly.
Yan Huaiqing said that he would control the lawyers so that they would not work too hard, but he probably still felt that it was difficult to convey the true meaning by beating around the bush, so he ended up speaking openly. Furthermore, if this were not the case, it would be unthinkable for a defense client to ask a lawyer to increase the defendant's culpability. It seemed that even Yan Huaiqing could not express his intentions to Zuo Yi in a roundabout way. However, Yan Huaiqing probably didn't tell Yi Mei the reason for doing this.
"This is not okay." Zuo Yi said instructingly, "I mean, this means that the defender will not try too hard to protect the defendant. But what the defendant hates most is the defender's lack of enthusiasm. When he is angry, he no longer expects The defender should think about how to protect himself with his own strength. The defendant will fight tooth and nail, and then we really don’t know what he will say. At that time, we can’t think about court rules or defense strategies. It’s simply It's a mess. Well, it's understandable.
"..."
"This is a last resort. It is better to defend the defendant desperately. This enthusiasm can make the defendant trust the lawyer. Once the defendant trusts the lawyer, he will obey the lawyer's words, understand the truth clearly, and abide by the agreement. If I say this, I can't say it, He will never say anything. Madam, this approach is wise." Zuo Yi seemed to want to say that it would be good for the madam, "Listen to me, Zhao Kuan's case is very interesting. Yesterday in the lobby of Xingda Hotel, I already explained it when Mr. Yan Huaiqing was present. There were fragments of sleeping pills left in Li Zhi’s stomach, which had not had time to be digested, but the forensic doctor did not use tweezers to pick them out and examine them under a microscope. In other words, the forensic doctor felt that the facts were very clear. , so I was lazy. This is also a common thing, and this is where my focus is. I plan to use this point to argue. This case is very promising."
The lawyer's once calm voice became louder and faster.
"When you say there is hope, do you mean there is a possibility of being acquitted?"
"It's possible. My friend, the prosecutor, always handles this case on the premise that the victim died of concussion, that is, Zhao Kuanjun had the intention to kill when he hit Li Zhi's head. This is not my friend's personal opinion. , but the unanimous opinion of the prosecutor, so my friend will not try to change it. There may be a gorgeous debate in the future." Zuo Yi's round eyes contained a hint of joy, "Okay, in short, I plan to be enthusiastic I will fully invest in it and let the defendant see my sincerity, so he will definitely listen to me and abide by the agreement. Then, if Zhao Kuan is acquitted... I will resettle him at that time and will never let him He did something that troubled Madam. Please believe me."

Yi Mei and Lu Xin were talking in the ward: "Whether your two daughters ran to the hospital in a panic or started talking about our father, it was all because they were thinking about sharing the inheritance. They You are trying to make me realize that as your biological daughters, they have the right to share in the inheritance before you die!" Yi Mei said with a straight face.
"..." Lu Xin was silent.
"Heart disease is different from other diseases. No one knows when it will suddenly turn into something. For things like cancer, there is always a period of time before death. You can prepare for the future, but if a heart disease attacks, it will be too late to say anything. You left at once, how can you tell your family to feel relieved! I always feel that those two people came here for your inheritance."
"Stop talking. If I keep listening to you, my health may be in danger." Lu Xin coughed twice.
"Can you please cheer up? If you have a problem, I will be the only one left, and no one will come to support me. I will only be bullied by your children. Do you think you can let your wife live? Is it so miserable? Probably not. If that's the case, write it down clearly and don't let me worry. One-third of the inheritance stipulated in the civil law is not enough. If it is only this little, I will feel particularly helpless. .”
"Yeah." Lu Xin blinked.
"Just because I married you, who is thirty years older than me, I am in the situation I am in now. I cannot compare it with other couples. I don't have children of my own, who can I rely on? At this age, It is impossible to remarry. You have to make good arrangements and don't let me live a life of ridicule. If the woman who used to be Lu Xin's wife lived a miserable life, you would lose face and I would be pitiful, right? ?”
"..."
"You are so carefree. You are an older person. Even if I don't tell you, you should be aware of this and make some preparations. You feel that you will never grow old. , You keep carrying it, but your body won't obey you. There are some things you can't do anymore. While you are in the hospital this time, you should think carefully about my matter and make some preparations for the aftermath. "
