180: I will tell you in detail what your children did.
Time quickly advanced to the next day, and Zhou Yun began to go door-to-door.
There were no shortcuts; often, to do a case well, one needed meticulous thinking and imagination in criminal matters, and on the other hand, one had to solidify the evidence step by step.
Even the Public Security Bureau’s current methods for solving cases are similar; they must undergo extensive investigation, there’s no way to cut corners.
Previously, Guo Xitian had already asked relatives to find some people, and now what Zhou Yun had to do was find them again.
He wasn’t looking for them to testify or anything, but to help them defend their rights!
Defend what rights? If your child was bullied by classmates and outside ruffians, shouldn’t their rights be defended?
Zhou Yun believed that these student parents must have approached the school, but the school’s response was probably the same: they tried to manage it, but couldn’t control it.
The parents of those students who did the hitting must have been called to the school many times, but they simply didn’t care, and might have even said things like, “Sue us if you dare.”
In that case, couldn’t their rights be defended? At the very least, they could sue. If they couldn’t report it to the police, surely they could sue!
Before, suing cost money, but now with a Lawyer who can help them apply for legal aid, it’s essentially free rights defense, so they would definitely be willing.
How to apply for legal aid? Simple, just hand it over to Old Zhuang. After all, Fengxian County is under Jinghai, so there are no problems.
And suing definitely requires evidence, so this should be settled.
The other party is a minor, so the lawsuit would definitely be against their guardians.
Additionally, since it happened at school, couldn’t the school be sued? Of course, there’s no problem at all.
Similarly, once a lawsuit is filed, a Lawyer’s investigation order can be applied for to check the school’s surveillance footage!
Director Fan, who Zhou Yun had a past connection with, was now reportedly the Vice Dean of Fengxian County Court, so he had to reconnect with him.
In a residential area near Fengxian County Fifth High School, Zhou Yun found a student’s parent named Tao Hui.
He had initially thought communication would be difficult, but once Tao Hui realized he was Zhou Yun, he immediately chose to trust him unconditionally!
“Lawyer Zhou, don’t say anything else. Whatever you say, that’s how it will be. Anyway, you definitely wouldn’t harm us!” Tao Hui said directly.
Hearing this, Zhou Yun smiled and said, “You trust me that much? Maybe what’s said online is false…”
Tao Hui also smiled and said, “Lawyer Zhou, I’m also a chef, and I know Liu Fusheng. I know about his case. Lao Liu has been bragging about it to us for a long time.”
For Tao Hui, the way Liu Fusheng’s case was handled was simply outrageous.
A chef, who was originally just unable to swallow his anger and wanted to sue, somehow ended up making the other party pay 200,000 yuan!
That was 200,000 yuan, it was too fantastical.
So now, hearing it was Zhou Yun, Tao Hui had only one thought: listening to this Lawyer Zhou would definitely not be a problem.
Zhou Yun smiled and said, “Alright, Mr. Tao, please call your child over, I have a few questions for him.”
The child was called over, a middle school student. When he heard it was Zhou Yun, he became incredibly excited. One could say Zhou Yun was the biggest online celebrity he had ever met.
After asking a few random questions, the child directly handed over his phone and said, “Lawyer Zhou, I secretly filmed it before, when they were hitting people…”
Ah? Zhou Yun was immediately overjoyed at the news. This could be considered an unexpected gain.
But thinking about it, it was normal. Nowadays, most students have a mobile phone in hand.
When they encounter something like a fight, they basically pull out their phones to record it.
Just like that, Zhou Yun spent two days visiting over twenty households, but only five students’ parents were willing to sue.
The others were worried about causing trouble by suing the school, which might make it difficult for their children to attend school in the future.
The parents of these five students all worked in Jinghai, so after negotiation, they decided to resolve the issue once and for all, with Zhou Yun helping their children transfer directly to Jinghai.
With Old Zhuang’s current influence, five students transferring schools was not a problem at all; he could handle it.
A top law firm director in a provincial capital city, and also the President of the Lawyers Association, inherently represented immense influence.
The defendants were the two severely injured and two lightly injured students currently lying in hospital beds, as well as their guardians.
Just as Zhou Yun was busily preparing the lawsuit, he received a phone call.
“Hello, are you Zhou Yun, Guo Zihao’s Lawyer? I’m Lü Xinhao’s parent. Tell me, how do we handle this? My child just woke up the day before yesterday!”
Lü Xinhao was one of the people severely injured by Guo Zihao.
“That little beast injured my son like this. I’m telling you, if you don’t pay up, then just wait. Even if our two families have to fight to the death, we’ll make sure that little beast rots in jail!”
Zhou Yun heard this and said, “Don’t get agitated yet. My client really can’t come up with the money right now, and don’t you think your child’s previous behavior was particularly excessive?”
Normally, a Lawyer definitely shouldn’t say such things, because saying them basically eliminates the possibility of a criminal settlement.
But Zhou Yun had to say it. Such serious campus bullying, these parents absolutely knew about it.
They had been called to the school many times, but they had consistently failed to intervene.
To put it bluntly, 50% of the responsibility for their child ending up like this lies with them, the guardians!
He intended to argue for a not-guilty verdict in this case, and even if he couldn’t achieve that, he aimed for an exemption from criminal punishment, so whether a settlement was reached or not genuinely wasn’t that important.
If it wasn’t a crime, then there was no talk of a settlement.
In the hospital, Lü Xinhao’s father immediately exploded in anger upon hearing this.
He had gotten this Lawyer Zhou’s contact information from Guo Xitian, who said that Lawyer Zhou would handle everything.
He was already furious. What kind of damn Lawyer handles things? This was clearly a delay tactic.
But he didn’t expect to call and find the Lawyer with such an attitude!
He quickly yelled into the phone, “What the hell do you mean, huh? What the hell do you mean?!”
Zhou Yun said calmly, “It’s exactly what it sounds like. Don’t you know what your child did? How many times did he beat Guo Zihao? What, you don’t think that’s excessive?”
“Alright, stop saying useless things. The matter cannot be resolved right now, that’s it. By the way, we might be able to meet in a few days.”
“At that time, I will tell you in detail just how excessive your child’s actions were!”
He would use civil litigation to obtain an investigation order, and then use that to investigate the school’s surveillance footage. Of course, even without surveillance, it would be enough.
The testimonies of five students, plus two videos of them hitting people and extorting money, along with a joint report to the Court, would surely prompt an investigation by the Public Security Bureau.
After speaking, Zhou Yun hung up the phone and continued preparing the lawsuit.
On the other end of the phone, Lü Xinhao’s father was almost driven to death by anger.
“Good, so you’re not going to resolve it, huh? Damn it, just wait. I don’t believe there’s no place for reason!”
He planned to discuss it with the other three families to see what to do.
There was just one thing: what did that Lawyer mean by saying they would meet later to discuss it in detail?
Was he coming to the hospital?
…………
Five days later, Zhou Yun had finally completed his preparations for the lawsuit. He arrived at the entrance of Fengxian County Court and dialed a number.
“Hello, Dean Fan? This is Zhou Yun.”
