Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 341 - 340: The Drowning Case—Li Zhengyi Could Have Survived

Chapter 341: Chapter 340: The Drowning Case—Li Zhengyi Could Have Survived

Yan Yuting explained from the side, "Boss, this case is quite complicated."

"The victim’s family member is named Tang Ya. Her husband, Li Zhengyi, was a firefighter who had just been a firefighter for about half a year. They have three children, triplets, and the couple had a very good relationship; the family was very happy."

"But now everything has changed."

"Because Li Zhengyi is dead."

"And he died while saving someone."

"A 20-year-old girl named Zhao Sisi didn’t pass her college exams, didn’t want to return to school for retakes, was in a bad mood, and then she decided to jump into the river."

"The final news release stated that due to the raging currents, Li Zhengyi unfortunately sacrificed himself while rescuing the girl who attempted suicide...."

"The media has already characterized the incident as a firefighter sacrificing himself to save someone. Many netizens have spontaneously gone to lay flowers for the firefighter...."

"But Tang Ya couldn’t handle it. Her husband died trying to save a person, and now these three children have no father. Li Zhengyi had both parents to care for and children, not to mention a wife... the family’s pillar is gone. Having to see an elder bury their younger, children bidding farewell to their father, how heartbreaking is this?"

"But do you know what Zhao Sisi said after being saved? The first thing she said was, ’I didn’t ask the firefighter to save me, wasn’t that of his own doing?’"

"A video circulated online showed the entire process of firefighter Li Zhengyi saving Zhao Sisi. He saved her twice; initially, he had already brought her back, but Zhao Sisi still wanted to jump back in. During her rescue, Zhao Sisi did such a thing. You understand when you see the video, boss, I can’t bear to say anymore."

"Tang Ya, overwhelmed with grief, had no means left, so she reported the incident, wanting to hold Zhao Sisi accountable. But it was useless because everyone said Li Zhengyi died saving someone, so there’s no way to hold anyone responsible."

"Tang Ya consulted many lawyers, and many of them said it was impossible to convict Zhao Sisi. Even lawyers online have posted videos saying it’s indeed difficult to convict Zhao Sisi."

"Tang Ya had no options left and thought of you, boss, so she came to see you alone, but you were still in Qingchuan County at the time and couldn’t meet until today..." Yan Yuting said.

Looking at the material and videos submitted by Yan Yuting.

Gu Chen said, "Let me look over this case. Also, give me Tang Ya’s contact information. Qingqing, help me organize the materials."

Xue Qingqing began helping Gu Chen organize the case materials.

Soon, all the materials about the case were organized.

Gu Chen began to look into the case.

Such incidents actually happen quite often.

Someone jumps into the river, then a good Samaritan goes in to save them.

Finally, the person who jumped is saved, and then the rescuer tragically drowns...

Every year, such cases occur frequently.

Jumping into a river is inherently a very dangerous act. Not knowing how to swim and jumping into the river is suicidal; entering the water to rescue someone at that time is also very dangerous. Without rescue experience, it’s easy for things to go wrong.

Gu Chen had seen many such news stories, each time feeling deeply regretful.

Gu Chen watched the video of Li Zhengyi rescuing Zhao Sisi.

In the video.

Zhao Sisi had already jumped into the river, and seeing this, Li Zhengyi jumped in resolutely to save Zhao Sisi and bring her to shore.

The first time he tried to save Zhao Sisi, she resisted and struggled in the water, refusing to come ashore, even pressing down on Li Zhengyi’s head, forcing it underwater.

Li Zhengyi exerted all his strength and finally brought Zhao Sisi to shore.

Yet just after being brought ashore, without a chance to rest, Zhao Sisi jumped back into the river.

Li Zhengyi took a deep breath, already exhausted.

But with triplets at home, recognizing himself as a father... he despised seeing others take their lives.

So Li Zhengyi jumped into the river again.

It was this time that cost Li Zhengyi his life...

After jumping in, Li Zhengyi continued to rescue Zhao Sisi.

This time, Zhao Sisi’s actions were even more severe. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Zhao Sisi directly pushed Li Zhengyi’s head into the river!

Then Zhao Sisi attempted to get herself ashore!

During the rescue, Zhao Sisi kept pressing down on Li Zhengyi’s head, keeping it underwater, unable to breathe, and his strength dwindling.

Thus, Li Zhengyi began struggling in the water, unmistakably worn out.

Zhao Sisi, however, chose to recline in the river, maintaining her strength, ensuring her body didn’t sink, and could breathe freely, akin to swimming, very leisurely.

But by this point, Li Zhengyi’s strength was obviously waning.

Saving someone already spent a lot of energy, plus Li Zhengyi wasn’t that adept in water; being repeatedly pushed underwater by Zhao Sisi....

Li Zhengyi was in danger himself!

Struggling vigorously in the water, he found himself powerless, his strength ebbing away bit by bit.

Yet there still was a chance to save Li Zhengyi onto dry land!

Because onlookers were reaching out to help!

The onlookers first threw a stick into the river for Li Zhengyi.

The crowd had noticed Li Zhengyi’s struggle.

However, the first throw of the stick did not land closely enough to Li Zhengyi.

Li Zhengyi spotted the stick and tried to grab it.

If only he could reach out and grasp that stick, he’d be saved!

The surrounding crowd was sure to pull Li Zhengyi to safety!

At that critical moment...

It was Zhao Sisi who grabbed the stick first!

Zhao Sisi not only grabbed it but also kicked Li Zhengyi, pushing him away!

So Li Zhengyi couldn’t reach the stick!!

Then, as Zhao Sisi grabbed it, she seemed unsteady, and given the stick’s slenderness, it ended up breaking!

Once again, the rescue effort faltered!

By now, Li Zhengyi’s strength had visibly waned.

Onlookers managed to find a rope on the second attempt.

This rope was the lifeline.

If only they could get the rope to him, Li Zhengyi could undoubtedly be rescued!

Onlookers this time threw the rope precisely within Li Zhengyi’s reach!

The surrounding crowd felt a glimmer of hope.

A mere 10 cm away, with a slight stretch of his arm, Li Zhengyi could grab the rope and be brought to safety!

But... Zhao Sisi decided to push Li Zhengyi aside and reach for the rope herself!

At that moment, as Li Zhengyi was near drowning, still struggling.

The sympathetic crowd, upon noticing, pulled the rope back to throw it anew closer to Li Zhengyi.

Once more, they managed to get it right beside Li Zhengyi!

Li Zhengyi, within reaching distance of grasping that rope!

Only to have Zhao Sisi again push him aside, grabbing the rope herself....
