Chapter 35: Capital Punishment Case
Su Bai had considered the matter of legal popularization.
He could post some striking cases online.
'What should you do when you become anxious? Teaching you how to use spirit money'
'Helping an elderly woman up and being falsely accused, then sending her in instead'
'Faced with a company's inaction and failure to comply with labor law, I directly filed a tax report and sent the boss in'
'Mutual fighting? Nonsense, this is clearly legitimate self defense'
'If one is detained for legitimate self defense, how should one first make a statement'
Cases such as these would certainly become popular across the entire internet.
However.
To be honest, the kind of reputation gained in this manner would not be of much practical use.
Which top tier law firm needs to obtain cases through online traffic attraction?
Such situations almost do not exist.
What law firms require is reputation, but reputation among precise groups, namely those who have litigation needs.
No major lawyer at any law firm neglects formal professional work and spends every day conducting legal popularization activities.
Furthermore, it would easily result in people obtaining legal knowledge without payment, and most would neither pay nor initiate litigation but merely engage in conversation.
For their law firm, this would result in greater losses than gains.
As for allowing Li Xuezhen, an intern lawyer, to undertake such activities.
It was better to abandon the idea.
A straightforward female university student like Li Xuezhen would not be able to handle those improper individuals on the internet.
At that time it would merely attract many people who had no litigation needs.
It would be more reliable to allow Wang Li to introduce more relatives and acquaintances instead.
Faced with Su Bai's question, Li Xuezhen nodded seriously.
Once Su Bai raised this reasoning, she immediately understood it.
'Lawyer Su, then what should we do? Our law firm currently has no cases to accept.'
'Did our law firm not just win a case? Do not be anxious for now, after the attorney's fee from Zhang Tongwei's case is received, we will spend some funds on more formal advertising and accept some significant cases.'
'For the time being, do not consider the matter of legal popularization.'
'Alright, Lawyer Su.'
Li Xuezhen was about to end the conversation when she suddenly noticed that a private message notification had appeared on her short video account.
'May I ask whether you are Lawyer Su from Baijun law Firm?'
With surprise she clicked into the message.
Li Xuezhen was stunned for several seconds and then hurriedly entered the other party's profile page, her eyes revealing disbelief.
Was this the well known legal commentator Teacher Luo?!
Li Xuezhen repeatedly entered and exited Luo Daxiang's video page and finally confirmed that this truly was Teacher Luo.
Could it be that Teacher Luo had seen that she had left too many comments beneath his videos and had become displeased?
It should not be so.
Li Xuezhen shook her head, Teacher Luo was not so petty, and upon thinking this she felt a trace of pleasant surprise.
She had not expected Luo Daxiang to initiate contact with her.
'Hello Teacher Luo, I am not Lawyer Su, I am an intern lawyer at Baijun law Firm.'
'Teacher Luo, may I ask what matter you wished to discuss through this private message?'
'It is like this, there is a public prosecution case here in Beidu, and I would like to introduce your law firm to handle a case.'
'If your law firm has considered the matter, you may contact me.'
Upon seeing that a case had arrived.
Li Xuezhen jumped up in excitement.
She again excitedly sent a message to Su Bai: 'Lawyer Su, we have received a case, my efforts have finally produced results, Teacher Luo replied to my message and even introduced a case to us!'
Su Bai: '?'
Had he not just said that legal popularization would not be conducted, and now there was suddenly a case?
"It is like this, Lawyer Su."
Li Xuezhen explained at length, and when she saw that Su Bai did not respond strongly, she sent him a screenshot of the conversation.
It truly was the well known legal commentator Luo Daxiang.
However.
After Su Bai looked at this public prosecution case, he felt a sense of difficulty.
This public prosecution case was rather formidable.
It involved capital punishment!
Public prosecution cases, once determined, generally already have established facts and evidence.
One can only interpret them through legal provisions or identify omitted evidence from the first instance and present it during the second instance trial.
Otherwise, it is very difficult to overturn the determination.
To reach a capital punishment sentence is by no means simple, and the matters involved are excessively complex.
According to what Luo Daxiang had said, such a complicated case might not involve high attorney's fees and would also require travel to Beidu.
After hesitating for several seconds, Su Bai replied:
'Let us wait until we obtain the written judgment from Zhang Tongwei's case before deciding.'
'Alright, Lawyer Su.'
After reading the description of the case, Li Xuezhen became extremely excited.
A capital punishment case!
Some criminal lawyers might not encounter even one such case for several years, yet she had encountered one, which was truly excellent.
After two litigation cases, Li Xuezhen could now be said to have complete confidence in Su Bai.
On the fourteenth day after the conclusion of the trial in Zhang Tongwei's case.
The sentencing determinations concerning Ye Fei and Xie Jing had already been completely finalized and transferred by the court to the relevant judicial authorities.
The written judgment had also been mailed to the law firm.
Su Bai had already notified Zhang Tongwei to come and collect it.
Moreover.
During these few days, Su Bai also learned that Ye Fei's fan groups and short video accounts had all been officially banned.
Even those men who had previously suffered harm had already begun to seek lawyers in preparation for filing lawsuits against their former wives.
They intended to attempt to recover the premarital property that had previously been divided.
Those women who had previously benefited were now trembling with fear.

Inside Baijun law Firm.
During these past few days Su Bai had again spent twenty thousand to further renovate the law firm and added whatever equipment was necessary.
On the sofa.
Wang Li and Zhang Tongwei sat on the same sofa, Su Bai sat opposite them, and Li Xuezhen pulled a brand new office chair to sit beside Su Bai.
"Lawyer Su, I must tell you that it was truly satisfying! Do you know how miserably Xie Jing cried when she signed the divorce agreement inside, my goodness, I was present at the time and it was extremely intense!"
This time Wang Li restrained himself considerably and covered his mouth with his hand while speaking rapidly in order to prevent saliva from spraying.
Su Bai could imagine that scene.
Zhang Tongwei signing documents on one side and Wang Li cheering on the other side would have caused considerable emotional impact on Xie Jing.
However.
The extent of that emotional impact was not a matter that concerned Su Bai.
He was concerned only with whether his attorney's fee would be received.
"Lawyer Su, I have already transferred the attorney's fee, please verify it."
Five hundred and fifty thousand!
Very good.
This single case directly resolved the law firm's shortage of funds.
After the attorney's fee was received, Su Bai smiled brightly: "No problem, the attorney's fee has been received."
"It is good that there is no problem."
Zhang Tongwei smiled and then remained at the law firm with Wang Li for nearly two and a half hours.
They mainly inquired about certain subsequent issues concerning Xie Jing.
In particular, the issue of how to recover the common property previously given to her two younger brothers and to her natal family without his consent.
With regard to this.
Su Bai advised Zhang Tongwei to occasionally request the return of the property and thereby express his position.
If they still refused to return it, he could directly initiate compulsory enforcement procedures through the court with the written judgment.
Zhang Tongwei repeatedly nodded: "Thank you, Lawyer Su."
