Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

There are many coincidences in this world, such as accidentally turning around and avoiding a car accident.

Even strictness exists.

As a lawyer, he stumbled upon some evidence by sheer chance, which allowed him to win a case he was destined to lose.

but.....

If this coincidence is too much of a coincidence, then there's at least a 98% chance that something is wrong!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

At this moment, Yan Mi rubbed his temples, his tone full of irritability, his anxiety clearly visible.

Where in this world are there so many warm-hearted citizens?

Not to mention, the report was filed on the very same day that the first trial was concluded!

Especially anonymous reports.

Try to think about this: what kind of person would choose to report someone anonymously?

Generally speaking, they are mostly afraid of the killer retaliating against them.

However, there are some people with special circumstances. For example, if a thief goes to steal something and discovers the crime, then reporting it is considered turning himself in. In order to avoid being caught, he reports it anonymously.

What does this tell us? In other words...

Anonymous whistleblowing requires time to think things through. Whether it's out of fear or because of a special identity, it takes time to weigh the pros and cons!

"Damn it, it can't be such a coincidence... It's impossible that there were both concerned citizens, and that the time it took for these citizens to think things through happened right after the trial ended..."

Yan Mi gritted his teeth, staring at the court summons in his hand, racking his brains for a solution.

"And then there are those conservative types like Zhou Jianshan!"

Xu De is clearly problematic.

Although there is no evidence, there is a very clear suspicion based on sensory perception!

Yan Mi didn't believe Zhou Jianshan and his ilk couldn't sense it, yet they insisted on adhering to those anonymous whistleblower protection regulations...

"No, I have to see Sun Hu!"

After much deliberation, Yan Mi finally made up his mind and went to the Yanzhou Detention Center again.

To be honest, based on the past, he was not qualified to meet Sun Hu.

But things changed after the two cases were merged.

After the cases were merged, Sun Hu claimed that he was not the one who had represented the defendant, but the defendant was indeed the defendant, and he was the defense lawyer.

Therefore, in terms of procedure, after the cases were merged, Yan Mi obtained the qualification to meet Sun Hu.

As for whether I will be able to see him...

At first, it was not visible.

But the date is July 28th, and there are only three days left before the trial.

No matter how heinous the defendant's crimes are, a lawyer can still meet with them if they want to.

3 PM.

After going through the rigorous procedures, I finally met Sun Hu in the detention center's visiting room.

The two sides barely exchanged glances before immediately understanding each other's thoughts.

At this moment, Sun Hu sat opposite in the meeting room, holding a landline phone, and said in a deep voice:

"Attorney Yan, I heard... Zhu Dali is going to die? Hah, he's so heartless, abandoning his wife at home, dying before even getting his money..."

As they were talking.

His face was extremely gloomy, his slanted eyes staring at Yan Mi on the other side of the glass, and one hand on the table was clenched tightly.

Compared to two months ago, Sun Hu has lost a lot of weight, at least 15 pounds!

There's nothing you can do about it. The police's intense interrogation, coupled with the truly appalling food in the detention center, makes it hard not to lose weight.

However, the thinner he was, the fierce glint in his eyes seemed even more intense!

"Attorney Yan, is this true?!" Sun Hu's tone was filled with extreme anger, and the fire in his eyes seemed to solidify.

See here.

Having anticipated this, Yan Mi could only take a deep breath and quickly replied, "He's not dead, Zhu Dali is not dead."

"He was afraid that the truth would be revealed, so he wanted to kill himself to settle Zhang Mushan's case completely, prevent the second instance from remanding it for retrial, and also prevent you, Mr. Sun, from being held responsible for another death in the case."

"So, he tried to commit suicide by banging his head against the wall in the detention center, but he was saved."

He is still in the hospital.

The words were spoken.

Sun Hu stared at him with his slanted eyes, his fierce gaze undiminished. Instead, he gave a cold snort, and then a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

What the other party said sounds nice, but in reality, it's just a plan they've come up with for themselves!

With Zhu Dali dead, the commission is essentially complete.

The two cases are separate. The lives of supervisor Huang Chengwei and reporter Wang Han are unrelated to Yan Mi. He could have easily distanced himself from this mess.

Even if it's Sun Hu who threatens me?

Threaten the other party so they can leave, claiming they knowingly withheld information and committed "harboring a criminal"!?

Heh heh, it's the same old story.

Once Zhu Dali dies, his independent case will be completely closed. His threat is theoretically evidence to overturn the verdict, but a closed case cannot be overturned, so Yan Mi doesn't need to fall for it at all.

but......

Things are different after the merger.

"What does Attorney Yan need my cooperation with?"

Sun Hu's eyes flashed, and he suddenly softened his tone, but his attitude remained firm as he spoke.

Upon hearing this...

Yan Mi's face turned green.

What does this mean?

The other party is supposed to cooperate with my defense? But the problem is, I never said I would defend the other party!

Yes.

Judging from the contract, Yan Mi's client is indeed Zhu Dali, and Zhu Dali did not commit murder. Therefore, in theory, for the combined first-instance cases, he only needs to defend Zhu Dali, who did not commit murder, on the charge of "harboring a criminal".

The crime of harboring a criminal is not a serious crime.

At most, he'd only get three or four years in prison. Compared to the death penalty for murdering Zhang Mushan, it seems much easier to get away with it on the surface.

but.......

Sun Hu, however, refused!

"Mr. Sun, our mandate is clearly written. I traveled from Haicheng to Haiyun Province to defend Zhu Dali, not..."

Yan Mi took a deep breath, wanting to fight again.

"Heh heh, Attorney Yan, don't forget who paid you!"

Enraged, Sun Hu lowered his voice and glared at him, saying angrily:

"It was me, not that worthless life that gave it to me!"

"At this point, you're still asking me who the client is... Don't be so naive!"

Sun Hu was very scared and terrified.

He didn't know why, but he was just sitting there quietly when suddenly all the things he had done in his early years came to light.

Supervisor Huang Chengwei! Reporter Wang Han!

Two lives lost, two lives lost, both due to selfish desires, and the methods used were quite cruel!

With this matter so blatantly exposed, once he goes to court, there are only two possible outcomes: one, a suspended death sentence; two... the death penalty!

and so.

Sun Hu was terrified, losing his previous composure and falling into a strange fear, his whole body agitated.

He doesn't want to die.

Sun Hu doesn't want to die!

He's just a middle-aged man with a company, tens of millions of dollars in assets, a social elite, and the boss, Mr. Sun, whose face countless people have to look up to for their livelihood!

Why should he die? Why should two other lives be taken with him?!

so......

"Yan Mi, you'd better think this through before making a decision!"

Sun Hu questioned Yan Mi in an almost roaring voice.

Yan Mi's face suddenly turned ashen.

He wanted to leave.

I want to back out!

So, by letting Zhu Dali die, he could completely extricate himself from the situation. As for the commission fee...

Heh heh, forget about commission fees, I don't care about a single penny, I'd even give Zhu Dali 15 yuan to die!

However, Zhu Dali outwardly complied but inwardly defied him.

This sickly man, who was already on the verge of death, still wanted to live, so he deliberately made himself half-dead and received treatment in the hospital.

Yan Mi ended up with a case that was sent back for retrial, and... he also got involved with Sun Hu!

The other party doesn't want to die and needs a defense, and for Sun Hu, a defense lawyer who is meticulous would be ideal.

Firstly, the other party's professional competence is indeed stronger than that of the lawyers in Haiyun Province.

Secondly... you have leverage over the other party, which can make them do everything they can for you!

"I......"

Yan Mi fell silent, cursing under his breath, his face gradually turning grim.

After a long while, he took a deep breath and looked at him with a livid face.

"I see."

Sun Hu said, "You'd better know!"

After he finished speaking, Yan Mi did not respond and turned to walk outside.

Before long, they disappeared from Sun Hu's sight.

He walked out of the detention center, stood on both sides of the street, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and smoked it idly, his eyes revealing his thoughts.

We need to defend Sun Hu, but...

Defending three lives is no easy task.

I thought I could earn 600,000 yuan in a month by coming here, but who would have thought... the case dragged on for three months and caused a big change.

Even now, they're risking their own lives!

Six hundred thousand... that's truly a hot potato among hot potatoes.

In a daze.

Two figures appeared in Yan Mi's mind.

That was Ding Yan, a lawyer from Honglang Law Firm. He had gone straight back to Haicheng three months ago, on May 11th.

The other party ran very fast, showing no backbone or lawyer's demeanor whatsoever.

But no matter what, Ding Yan did run away after all.

But what about myself?

Thinking of this.

A tight silence was maintained.

The die is cast, and Sun Hu has no choice but to defend himself.

"I don't know if I can handle it."

Yan Mi murmured as he smoked, and as the cigarette burned down to the butt, his gaze gradually sharpened, and he became incredibly resolute.

The other party is being so unreasonable, but we must remember that even a rabbit will bite when cornered. At worst, we'll fight to the death, but then...

"I'm not someone to be bullied!"

A hint of ferocity flashed in his stern eyes.

......

7 month 29 day.

There are two days left until the first trial of the combined cases.

Yan Mi went to Zhujia Village, where the other party contacted Wu Tao's wife, Han Li. As the investigation progressed, Yan Mi's attention turned to the garbage station not far from the ancestral graves.

same time.

The major media outlets in Haiyun Province also gradually became agitated and began to focus their attention on Yanzhou City.

......

7 month 30 day.

There's only one day left until the first trial!

All the evidence has been submitted. No one has any trump cards left in this trial, and having no trump cards means... the verdict will be reached in the first instance!

Yan Mi obtained some information, some of which were unrelated to the case's outcome but were targeted at individuals.

......

7 month 31 day.

The last day or the last night before the first trial.

That night.

Countless reporters who had rushed to Yanzhou City, rested in hotels, and prepared to attend the court hearings washed up and went to bed early.

Xu De was at the home of the client, Wang Huiguo. After finishing the last set of materials, he looked somewhat tired. Lin Yue, who was dozing off beside him, saw this and forced herself to wake up and rub his head. Then the two of them looked at the clock on the wall and watched the ticking second hand, waiting quietly.

At the same time, Yan Mi, who had been driven to the brink of despair, also stopped writing. He looked at the materials in front of him, his thoughts unreadable.

Prosecutors, courts, police, citizens...

This night.

Everyone is waiting, waiting for the clock to complete its final rotation!

until.......

8 month 1 day.

The day of the court hearing has arrived!!!

......

......

8 month 1 day.

The clock had completed a full circle without the clock noticing. By the time it realized it, the sky was already turning white, clear and blue – perfect weather for getting things done.

The Yanzhou Intermediate People's Court has scheduled the hearing for the merged "Mushan Case" at 1:30 p.m.

It was almost 1 p.m.

Several prosecutors silently entered the courthouse. Judging from their complexions, they had clearly stayed up all night and looked visibly exhausted.

Once they arrived at the waiting room, the three prosecutors quickly sat down and began to rest as soon as possible.

"We meet again, Prosecutor Zhao. What a coincidence!"

Inside the waiting room.

A voice sounded from beside me.

Zhao Qian, who was lying on the chair, opened his eyes and glanced at Xu De, who had arrived early to wait in the interrogation room. He rolled his eyes.

That's right, Xu De had arrived long ago.

He looked very energetic, a stark contrast to the other person's condition.

"Heh heh, what a coincidence...what a coincidence." Zhao Qian said dismissively with his eyes closed.

After saying that, he couldn't help but speak again:

"I never expected that Attorney Xu would take on this case right after taking on another one. Wow... what a coincidence."

"Hey, I guess this is fate. I think it's a coincidence too."

Xu De's face showed a look of emotion.

These words came to mind.

Zhao Qian was instantly wide awake. He sat up straight, opened his eyes, and stared blankly at the other person.

This person... has an incredibly thick skin!

How did you end up in this case? Don't you know the answer? It can't just be a coincidence!

Zhao Qian pondered, but seeing Xu De's wistful expression, he suddenly felt a little insecure. For a moment, he didn't know whether it was a coincidence or if it matched his previous guess.

Until, after a long while...

"Squeak~"

The door to the waiting room opened, and everyone turned to look.

Then a bailiff appeared, standing at the door, and spoke to the people inside:

"The court hearing is about to begin. Please have the relevant personnel follow me into the courtroom to await the proceedings."

The words were spoken.

The group paused in unison, then got up and followed.
