Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Chapter 267 Xu De: You'd better hit me again!

"After a lawful trial, including the presentation and cross-examination of evidence by both the prosecution and the defense, as well as their court arguments and final statements, the trial has now concluded."

"The facts were ascertained after the trial."

"The defendant, Zhu Dali, murdered the victim, Zhang Mushan, at 5:00 PM on May 7, 2003, in Lingshui County..."

"The prosecution alleges that the defendant committed the crimes of intentional homicide under Article 232 of the Criminal Law, intentional injury under Article 234 of the Criminal Law, and robbery under Article 263 of the Criminal Law..."

"After review."

"..."

As the judge's voice rang out, everyone in the First Courtroom tensed up.

The prosecutors clenched their fists, while the defendants frowned.

until......

"The prosecution's charges against the defendant for 'intentional injury, intentional homicide, and robbery' are true..."

"The judgment is as follows."

"Based on Article 232 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of Korea, which pertains to 'intentional homicide,' and Article 234, which pertains to 'intentional injury,'..."

"The defendant, Zhu Dali, is sentenced..."

On the judge's bench.

Yang Chengjun paused, and then a series of sounds followed.

"death penalty!"

"Execution suspended for two years!"

A death sentence... with a two-year reprieve? That's a suspended death sentence!

To be honest, if the facts of the case are true and consistent with the indictment, then theoretically, a suspended death sentence is indeed quite reasonable. After all, the defendant initially showed a good attitude in admitting guilt and it can be considered a voluntary surrender. However...

The moment those words were spoken.

The entire First Courtroom was stunned; everyone's faces showed shock or bewilderment.

In the audience.

Shocked voices echoed in my ears.

"Death...suspended death sentence!? Judging from the indictment and the case details alone, Zhu Dali could actually be sentenced to death...no, the judge really found Zhu Dali guilty!"

"Didn't Zhu Dali say he was taking the blame in this case?! How come the judge still found him guilty?!"

"What about the one who paid to save his life? We can't just let him go, can we!?"

"No... Zhu Dali has recanted his confession again. He said he didn't take the blame, that he was afraid, which is why he said the murderer wasn't him..."

"Wait, what exactly is going on with this case!?"

"..."

The moment the first-instance verdict was handed down.

Everyone was shocked. At that moment, their brains couldn't even think. They stood there, stunned and extremely agitated.

Death penalty... How could it be the death penalty?

Or rather, how could it be a conviction for Zhu Dali? Shouldn't the real culprit be arrested?

In the process of apprehending the real culprit, the number of defendants increased from one to two, with the main perpetrator, Zhu Dali, becoming a scapegoat and a protector.

But... during the second trial, just as everyone outside was in an uproar, wondering who the real killer was...

They actually concluded that Zhu Dali was the murderer!

The information here is truly astonishing and difficult to fathom.

"Bang! Silence! Silence!"

On the judge's bench.

Presiding Judge Yang Chengjun took a deep breath, frowned, and picked up the gavel to keep order in the courtroom.

Unfortunately, the louder the gavel struck, the louder the crowd below became, clearly shocked beyond words and unable to accept the judge's voice.

The scene quieted down only when Yang Chengjun's voice carried a hint of anger.

See here.

Yang Chengjun, his face grim, glanced around the scene.

"Prosecutor, defendant, defendant in the dock, do you have any objections to the verdict in this case?"

The words were spoken.

In the prosecutor's seat, Zhao Qian's lips moved for a moment before he finally sighed and fell silent.

In the defendant's seat, Zhu Dali seemed somewhat dazed. He lowered his head, his thoughts unreadable, and his emotions unpredictable.

"We accept the court's ruling." At this moment, Yan Mi finally felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face.

"Um."

In the courtroom.

Yang Chengjun stood up, glanced coldly at Zhu Dali, uttered a sentence, and then got up and left.

"If you disagree with this court's judgment... you may file a lawsuit with a higher court within 15 days of receiving the judgment!"

"Now, regarding this case..."

Court adjourned!

After saying that, Yang Chengjun and the other two judges disappeared.

On the prosecutor's bench.

The three prosecutors remained silent, their expressions unreadable, and were quite reserved.

They won...the case was "won". If it were the first hearing, they would have won without any problem, and the three of them would have been happy to see it. But now it's the second hearing.

This is the second court hearing after Zhu Dali recanted his confession!

This victory, for them... could be considered a 'defeat'.

But that's not necessarily true. After all, there wasn't a single piece of evidence that Sun Hu had committed a crime. Perhaps Zhu Dali really was the one who committed the crime. But the three of them were still somewhat unwilling to accept the verdict.

"Sigh, let's pack up and go."

Prosecutor Yue Feng looked tired. He stood up and gestured for everyone to leave.

Zhao Qian and Prosecutor Pei exchanged wry smiles and followed the other party away.

Just outside the courthouse.

A barrage of cameras and microphones rushed toward Yue Feng, accompanied by blinding flashes and a cacophony of sounds.

"Prosecutor Yue, do you have anything to say about this case?"

"Prosecutor, the defendant has changed their story three times, providing three different versions of their testimony. What are your thoughts on this?"

Is Zhu Dali the real culprit in the case?

"Prosecutor, in this case, the defendant Zhu Dali has been sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve. Do you think this achieves the purpose of punishment...?"

"..."

A cacophony of voices erupted as numerous reporters bombarded him with questions.

The three prosecutors grew increasingly agitated and confused as they listened, and the constant flashing of the cameras made them feel restless.

They didn't say a word, as if they were swimming in a sea of ​​people, prying out from the gaps.

Does Zhu Dali have a problem?

There are problems with the senses, but when it comes to actual execution, no clues can be found!

Unless they can find the middleman who introduced Zhu Dali to the life-or-death situation, but in an era before surveillance was widespread and the internet was even considered an "economic bubble," where would they find this person?

If they really dragged it out until they caught the person before holding the trial, Zhu Dali would have been dead long ago!

At that time, the plaintiff, the victim, and the defendant will all be dead; all parties involved in the case will be deceased...

This has become a true cold case, a case with no possibility of being overturned!

The three of them got into the car and remained silent for a long time. Prosecutor Zhao Qian looked unwilling and clenched his fists.

"Damn it, how come there's not a single clue!"

"Even just a tiny...even just Liu Xi's footprint would be fine!"

These words were spoken.

Yue Feng and Prosecutor Pei were also somewhat unwilling, but there was nothing they could do about it.

"The case has already been decided."

Yue Feng replied, and then the car fell silent.

The case has been decided, which means the ruling has been made!

What? You're saying there's a second trial?

In theory, all cases can be tried twice, but there are still some hurdles to overcome for a second trial!

Especially when the defendant is sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve, if the charges are met and the sentence is handed down normally... If the defendant does not appeal, but the prosecution does, the appeal will basically be rejected on appeal and the case will not be opened.

As for the defendant's appeal?

nonexistent.

This is the result they wanted, why should they appeal?!

Therefore, theoretically... this case has already been concluded.

"Never mind, let's go eat first. We haven't had breakfast yet."

The three prosecutors remained silent, too lazy to bother with the taste of the food, and went straight to the court cafeteria, each buying a boxed lunch to fill their stomachs.

only.......

"Clang!"

Just as the three prosecutors returned to their car and began to break apart the disposable chopsticks...

In a daze...

A telephone suddenly rang.

"Beep beep beep~"

The phone rang at just the right moment, before the three of them had eaten a single bite.

Yue Feng paused for a moment, then picked up his phone and pressed the call button. However... as soon as the speakerphone rang out, Yue Feng's expression changed drastically.

"What? You're telling the truth!?"

"Zhu Family Village...There are corpses in Zhu Family Village!?"

"You're not kidding... Okay... fine, wait for me, half an hour... no, 25 minutes... no, 20 minutes, wait for me for 20 minutes, I'll go right now!"

hang up the phone.

Yue Feng's breathing became increasingly rapid, his eyes fixed straight ahead, his breathing labored.

irrefutable evidence......

It's out!

The evidence in the Kiyama case has yielded irrefutable proof that the suspect, Sun Hu, is guilty!

The police told him directly that a "helpful resident" in Yanzhou City had made an anonymous tip-off and delivered the body directly to the police station!

A concerned resident, an anonymous tip-off—it all seems rather strange.

For example, who is the other party? Why would they know these clues? But it doesn't matter anymore.

Yue Feng looked down at the boxed lunch in his arms, which he had just bought but hadn't even had a chance to eat yet...

Eat my ass!

With a press of the accelerator, the car roared to life.

"Walk!!!"

......

......

At the same time.

Stepping out of the strict confines of the courthouse, Zhu Dali was left behind.

He and Zhou Ning drove to the Yanzhou City Police Station.

After arriving at the police station.

"Clang!"

The car door opened, and Yan Wei got out. He glanced at the detention room where Sun Hu was still being held in the distance, and at that moment, he finally felt completely relaxed.

"Hmph~ Xu De... Ha, a lawyer from Lvsen City, Qingwu Province... He's certainly got some skills!"

"I'm afraid I'll never forget this opponent for the rest of my life."

"This person's methods of manipulating human nature and controlling people's hearts are truly terrifying."

He muttered to himself as he walked toward the detention room.

to be frank.

Strategically, Yan Mi was showing contempt for Xu De, after all, the other party was a lawyer from Qingwu Province, and in the entire province, and even in the whole country, there were only two law firms that could be ranked among the top 100 law firms in Dongguo.

Regardless of which one, "Hong Lang Law Firm" ranks higher than the other!

High is strong, and strong is able to win!

Not to mention, the other party is just a small law firm. Although they have a classic case and have handled several major cases, they are still a small law firm in the end.

And what about myself? A top 100 law firm, a gold medal lawyer, a Haicheng lawyer—which of those titles isn't more prestigious than the other party's?

Therefore, Yan Mi has no reason not to despise him.

But his contempt brought him trouble.

"Attorney Zhou... You deserved to lose the Ninth Hospital case."

"I've been reviewing your case these past few days. It was a case that was bound to be lost. Fortunately, the case was handed over to someone else... instead of our law firm acting as your representative."

while walking.

Yan Mi suddenly sighed to Zhou Ning.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ning felt a slight pang of sadness, thinking that finally someone understood.

The Ninth Hospital case was won by the other party in an almost thuggish manner—purely thuggish. But thankfully, this case is now...

"Goal achieved!"

Yan Mi suppressed his thoughts, a victorious smile spreading across his face. He looked at the detention room that was just a stone's throw away and stepped straight in.

"Attorney Zhou, please arrange the procedures for Mr. Sun's arrival."

"it is good."

Zhou Ning nodded and walked towards the police officer at the front desk.

Yan Mi sat on a public chair to the side, closed his eyes, and rested, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips.

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

"Attorney Yan won the case? Why does he seem to be in such a good mood?"

That sound...

Yan Mi paused for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes and stared intently at the man sitting beside him.

This person is...

Xu De!

"What a coincidence, to run into each other here."

Xu De glanced outside at Wang Han's father, who was waiting at the police station to complete the formalities, then looked away and chuckled as he stared at Yan Mi.

"Attorney Yan seems quite pleased with himself. Did he win the case?"

skillful?

It should be called bad luck!

Yan Mi was immediately alert and wanted to curse, but when he thought that his case had already been adjourned, he no longer felt anything unusual and even smiled.

"Heh heh, at least my client is very satisfied."

The words were spoken.

Yan Mi was about to get up and walk outside, clearly too lazy to negotiate with the other party and just wanted to leave with Sun Hu as soon as possible.

But he had just stood up.

Xu De's cheerful voice came from behind again, and he slowly said:

"Attorney Yan, to be honest, your case is actually missing some people. In theory, a criminal case is only considered complete when all three parties—the civil party, the criminal party, and the defendant—are present in court."

"In the case of Mushan, the lack of a civil litigation representative makes the trial seem incomplete."

Perfection?

"Heh heh, I'm afraid Attorney Xu doesn't know yet, the case has already been adjourned."

Yan Mi let out a cold snort, a hint of satisfaction in his heart.

This beast in front of him... almost ruined his entire case!

To be honest, Yan Mi never imagined in his life that he could use 'paternity testing' to sow discord!

No, or rather... he simply couldn't believe that he could find someone with the same name to do a paternity test, use words to mislead the defendant, and thus create internal division.

After thoroughly investigating this matter, I was completely stunned.

This tactic... the other party really has no morals whatsoever, making Zhu Dali unknowingly wear a green hat for two months.

Fortunately.

After two months of hard work, including the death of Zhang Xiuning... the case was ultimately won!

only......

"No, no, no, Attorney Yan, you may have misunderstood me."

Xu De waved his hand and said with a smile:

"I mean... this case... might be reopened?"

Replay?

"Are you kidding me!?"

Yan Mi spoke almost instinctively, as if on cue.

Rehashing the case? You must be kidding me!

She had finally managed to appease Zhu Dali, and she had barely managed to complete the case despite the scrutiny of the prosecutor, the criticism from the media and residents, and even the possibility that she herself might be guilty of "covering up a criminal".

result......

So you're saying that doesn't count?

All my two months of hard work don't count? I have to fight this person all over again?

Are you kidding me?!?

"The first instance has already made its ruling, the judge has given the gavel, the prosecution has no grounds to appeal, and we have no objection and will not file for a second instance... So, the first instance ruling means that the facts have been established."

Yan Mi turned around, staring at Xu De with a wary look in his eyes, and said:

"Attorney Xu, please stop joking."

"This isn't funny at all!"
