Chapter 99 Who says she doesn't have a lawyer?
Chang Shuo was stunned for a moment, looking at Yun Yao's bored appearance, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
There's a huge difference between "the lawyer hasn't arrived yet" and "no lawyer has arrived yet".
"Ms. Yun, who is your lawyer? I can help you find one."
Yun Yao merely raised her eyes but did not speak.
Upon seeing Yun Yao's reaction, Chang Shuo already understood the situation quite well.
"Miss Yun, you don't even know who your own lawyer is, do you?"
Under Chang Shuo's gaze, Yun Yao nodded.
Chang Shuo: "..." He was right after all.
Just then, Xue Haoqian's voice rang out from outside the corridor.
"Captain Chang, would you mind coming out for a meeting?"
Chang Shuo looked anxious and quickly moved closer to Yun Yao.
“Miss Yun, if what you say is true, you are not the culprit who killed Xue Qing. If you want to prove your innocence, you can’t do it with just your words. Without a professional lawyer, plus the pressure from the Xue family, you will never be able to walk out of this police station!” Chang Shuo advised.
Seeing Yun Yao nod, Chang Shuo wasn't sure if she had really taken it to heart.
"Captain Chang, the case has been unresolved for so long, and you haven't come out to see our patriarch yet. Are you feeling a little guilty?" The voice outside the door rang out again.
"Until then, I will do my best to protect you. You need to find a lawyer as soon as possible." Chang Shuo instructed Yun Yao as he walked towards the door.
As soon as Chang Shuo opened the door, Xue Haoqian's men almost rushed in, but fortunately Chang Shuo closed the door quickly.
"Mr. Xue, this is a police station, not your Xue family's residence!" Chang Shuo blocked the man away, his words displeased.
Xue Haoqian stared at Chang Shuo expressionlessly for a long time before a cunning smile appeared on his face.
"Come back! No matter how heartbroken you are, you can't be rude in the police station!"
Seeing that everyone had left, Xue Haoqian stepped forward again, putting on a pretentious act.
"Captain Chang, the last time I saw you, you were just a junior officer following Captain Liu around. Now you're a captain. You're truly a force to be reckoned with!"
Although Xue Haoqian didn't utter a single insulting word, it still sounded very unpleasant.
Chang Shuo is a seasoned veteran who navigates various roles, so he naturally knows how to handle this situation.
"Mr. Xue, why did you come to me? Please be frank. As you can see, I'm very busy."
Seeing Chang Shuo's rudeness, Xue Haoqian's face also darkened.
"Captain Chang, how is the case of my niece progressing?"
"That's right, the chain of evidence is not yet completely closed, and we are still investigating," Chang Shuo replied in a very official manner.
"What's there to investigate? Yun Yao was the one who killed our Miss Xue Qing. We have witnesses and physical evidence. Did your police take some benefits from the Yun family? Is that why you're delaying the conviction?" said a burly man next to Xue Haoqian.
"Hey, don't be rude to Captain Chang!" Xue Haoqian said hypocritically.
Chang Shuo's face was also very ugly. It seemed that the Xue family was determined to do something today before they would stop.
“Mr. Xue, our police guarantee that we will not let a bad person go unpunished, nor will we wrong an innocent person. You don’t need to make such a big fuss by bringing people to the police station to wait for the answer. Once the truth comes out, I guarantee that the results will be delivered to the Xue family as soon as possible.”
Chang Shuo's words were watertight, neither offending Xue Haoqian nor revealing too much about the progress of the case.
Xue Haoqian gave his men a wink, and someone stepped forward and pulled Chang Shuo aside, just in time to avoid the cameras.
“Captain Chang, as far as we know, Yun Yao’s lawyer hasn’t come yet. This is obviously because they know this case is a thankless task. Besides, who in the capital would dare to take on the Xue family’s case? What do you think…” A stack of file folders about ten centimeters thick was stuffed into Chang Shuo’s pocket.
Openly bribing the police—only the Xue family would do that. It just so happens that the bureau chief is on good terms with the Xue family; otherwise, he would have really wanted to arrest this person and send him to prison.
“Mr. Xue, I appreciate your kindness. I know you value this case. I will certainly uphold the law impartially and will not have any selfish motives.” Chang Shuo took the file bag out of his pocket and stuffed it back into the man’s hand.
Seeing that Chang Shuo was completely unyielding, Xue Haoqian lost his temper and didn't even bother to pretend anymore.
"Captain Chang, I want to see how Yun Yao can overturn the case without a lawyer!" Xue Haoqian's resounding voice rang out.
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a magnetic voice rang out from behind the crowd.
"Who said Miss Yun doesn't have a lawyer?"
Upon hearing this voice, Xue Haoqian's heart skipped a beat.
Hmph! He wants to see which blind lawyer in the capital dares to oppose the Xue family!
Everyone turned to look back and saw a tall figure coming from behind the light.
When the person stood before them and they saw his face clearly, everyone was shocked.
"Attorney Dai, you've finally arrived. Miss Yun has been waiting for you for a long time." Chang Shuo was the first to react and hurriedly went to greet her.
Dai Sheng nodded slightly, glancing at Xue Haoqian, but did not intend to pay him any attention.
Upon seeing this, Xue Haoqian's expression darkened slightly: "Attorney Dai, I didn't expect you to take Yun Yao's case."
If it were anyone else, they would definitely have to go through the motions with Xue Haoqian, but Dai Sheng really didn't care.
"What, do I need to report to the Xue family head to become someone's lawyer?"
Having said that, he led Chang Shuo past Xue Haoqian, completely disregarding him.
"Dai Sheng, do you really want to be an enemy of my Xue family?" Xue Haoqian could no longer contain himself and revealed his fierce side.
Without even pausing, Dai Sheng's deep voice rang out: "According to Article 390 of the Criminal Law, anyone who commits the crime of bribery shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention."
"Dai Sheng, you!" Xue Haoqian pointed at Dai Sheng's back, but couldn't utter a single word. To spout nonsense in front of a top lawyer with a 100% success rate in China, even he would have to think twice.
Watching Xue Haoqian storm off in a huff, Chang Shuo followed behind Dai Sheng, feeling incredibly relieved.
"Captain Chang, please arrange a meeting with Miss Yun for me. I need to know the full details of this case."
……
When Yun Yao sat down in front of Dai Sheng, she couldn't help but take a second look at this lawyer.
"Who commissioned you to come?" Yun Yao asked directly.
She cares more about this matter than about overturning her own conviction.
You think you can confine her to this tiny little space? Are you kidding me!
The reason she's been holding on until now is to see if the person she's thinking about will worry about her.
Dai Sheng paused as he flipped through the documents, then raised his eyes, which seemed to see right through people.
"Miss Yun, don't you think this question is very trivial?"
Under Dai Sheng's gaze, Yun Yao denied it without even thinking.
"I don't think so, I just want to know the answer."
"Judging from the attitude of the police station towards you, you must have a high status in the legal profession. In that case, we'd better hurry up. Answer this question for me, and I'll tell you the whole story."
Dai Sheng frowned slightly as he looked at the quick-witted woman in front of him.
Who would have thought that the person so closely followed by the major figures in the capital would be so... incomprehensible!
