What's wrong with this lawyer?!

This case isn't anything complicated, Old Tang is just using it as a footnote.

The system doesn't even activate a mission, which says something about it.

Since he's got nothing else to do, Old Tang quickly prepared a review application and headed out, strolling towards the Guangming Sub-bureau.

He's been to this place countless times, more familiar with it than his own home.

As soon as he stepped in, everywhere he looked were familiar faces; most people here know Old Tang.

No surprise, given how many strange cases Old Tang has been involved in, even the head of the economic investigation mentions him through gritted teeth.

The economic investigation team at Guangming Sub-bureau hasn't had a break in ages, thanks to all the economic cases Old Tang brings, they have to review each one reported.

Overtime has got everyone there a bit muddled.

He casually asked someone and quickly found the officer responsible for Zhang Minghui's case.

"Officer Qian, long time no see." Old Tang greeted with a smile.

Officer Qian looked at Old Tang teasingly, "What a rare guest, Lawyer Tang. I heard you worked on a big case over at Tangfang, haven't seen you at our sub-bureau for quite some time."

Hearing this, Old Tang responded quickly, "Officer Qian, we're all friends, but if you say things like that, I could sue you for defamation. What do you mean by working on a big case? I just took on a big case and have just finished it."

"Alright, no more jokes. Officer Qian, I'm here today for Zhang Minghui's case. What's the Public Security Authorities' stance on it?"

On hearing this, Officer Qian said, "Lawyer Tang, this case has been around for a while. To put it simply, we're just following routine procedures."

Old Tang understood right away, there was a traffic accident where someone died, the traffic police assigned specific responsibility, and the criminal process has started normally.

It's all a complete procedure, according to regulations, a case must be filed.

Old Tang nodded, "Oh, I get it now. I'll head out first, Officer Qian."

"Sure thing, Lawyer Tang, I won't see you out. I've got loads of work to do."

Upon leaving the sub-bureau, Old Tang began preparing the review. The main reason for confirming at the sub-bureau was to see if they had any other opinions on this case.

It's necessary to confirm clearly if there might be any other hidden issues with the case.

Now that Officer Qian said it's all procedural, there's no problem then.

Back at the law office, Old Tang started drafting the review application, based on the fact that Zhang Minghui couldn't react in time.

It was a sudden incident, the driver shouldn't be completely blamed; rather, the pedestrian who ran the red light should take the main responsibility!

The whole incident should be seen as a single sequence, the collision between the electric bike and the jaywalker probably led to the bike swerving and falling, causing the tragedy.

For Zhang Minghui, this was a calamity coming out of nowhere, a pure accident, and he shouldn't be held accountable!

In fact, Old Tang's bottom line is mainly liability because Zhang Minghui previously mentioned in his statement that he didn't see the other party.

Not seeing it, in traffic accident liability determinations, is termed "failure to observe" or "failure to observe carefully."

The traffic police handling such matters usually have rich experience, none of the questions asked during documentation are unnecessary.

Generally, in incidents like a "phantom driver" suddenly appearing, asking this way is quite common.

Why? Because according to regulations, if your line of sight is obstructed while driving through an intersection, you must slow down, even stop to ensure it's safe before crossing.

You need to respond that you've already checked — nobody on either side.

Such a response indicates you've fulfilled your duty to observe... I've checked, nobody was there, then someone suddenly appears, what can I do? There's nothing I can do.

Of course, it's not about confrontation either, because usually in cases of "phantom drivers," it's too late to react, like those who speed through intersections without slowing down.

Therefore, in the review application, what Old Tang primarily put forth was the timeline from the collision between the electric bike and the pedestrian to the moment when the bike's owner fell in front of Zhang Minghui's car.

After preparing the application, he checked the time, there's still plenty of it, so Old Tang headed out again straight towards the city bureau's traffic division.

Though he hasn't done this type of review in this lifetime, he had plenty of experience in his past life, usually by submitting it to the superior traffic department's accident section.

Why not mail it? The reason remains the same: first, mailing is too slow; second, submitting in person allows better communication.

Half an hour later, at the traffic division's accident section, Old Tang met the person responsible for receiving review materials.

"So, you're the agent? Hired by the client to be the lawyer?"

Su Yanhong, who was in charge of reviewing, took the application and the power of attorney, casually asking.

Old Tang nodded, "Yes, my client couldn't come due to some reasons, so they entrusted me to apply for the review."

Su Yanhong glanced at the materials in her hand and was surprised, "Tang Fangjing... You're that Lawyer Tang from Tengda?"

Old Tang nodded and smiled, "I should be the only Tang Fangjing at Tengda."

"So it really is Lawyer Tang! Oh my, Lawyer Tang, you have no idea how I watch every episode of your videos. By the way, that last case, why hasn't there been a video yet?" Su Yanhong hurriedly asked.

"And when will the next case video be released? You're not going to use this case, are you? Traffic accident cases aren't that interesting, Lawyer Tang, I think commercial cases like the last one are much more fascinating..."
