Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

"Can you even see a one percent chance of winning?"

The rat looked at Xu De and slowly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Xu De fell into deep thought.

To be honest... there really isn't.

Putting aside everything else.

The mere words "revenge killing" and "shooting" were enough to push the case to the brink of disaster; the judge only needed to exert a little force to send the case plummeting to the bottom.

And that's without even considering the other negative factors.

In fact, the plaintiff's strength is by no means inferior.

Without sufficient resources, such cases would likely drag on for several months during the first instance trial, rather than being closed immediately after a single hearing.

"Are the plaintiff's prosecutor and lawyer very capable?" Xu De asked.

"For cases that are dealt with strictly and severely, the prosecution will never be weak."

The mouse picked its nose, smacked its lips, and said nonchalantly:

"As for the plaintiff's lawyer... well, to put it mildly, he's just someone who handles civil claims, but to put it mildly... well, he's still a team from a top-tier comprehensive law firm."

A cannon blasts a mosquito.

This idea subconsciously popped into Xu De's mind.

Yes, it's like using a cannon to kill mosquitoes.

In China, the top-tier law firms can be categorized into three types: "red circle," "near red circle," and "comprehensive first-tier."

The near-red circle players didn't become red circles due to factors of the times, but their strength may be comparable to that of red circles.

The top-tier comprehensive legal system is much simpler; it's a pure, new-era legal machine, backed by state-owned enterprises, with political resources. The top-tier comprehensive legal system is even stronger than the red circle.

As for Jin Jun Law Firm? That doesn't count; it's far ahead of the rest.

"Which law firm?" Xu De asked curiously.

The rat said, "Haicheng Golden Eagle Law Firm is a large local law firm with thousands of lawyers and financial resources... Heh, you should know that."

"Based on the rankings..."

"He's in the top forty."

A thousand lawyers!?

Xu De was startled, and then his brows furrowed and he became serious.

Looking at it this way...it does have some merit!

The law firms of these people are no joke; the team members are very likely poached from top-tier law firms and have handled countless cases.

This kind of team...

"To deal with a disabled cripple?"

Xu De felt something was very strange... very strange indeed.

"Don't you think...that's a bit too much?"

The fact that no one has taken on the second-instance case so far means that the defendant, Li Jie, doesn't even have a lawyer.

On the other hand, look at the other side.

Looking directly at their resumes, they are very likely a team from several top-tier law firms, either within the red circle or near-red circle!

Isn't this bullying?

"Heh heh, the law doesn't prohibit it. Besides, the defendant is at least still alive, while the plaintiff has real deaths. It's not unforeseen that resources might be used excessively," the rat said casually.

Then, he paused, and asked in return:

"so."

What are your thoughts?

After thinking it over for a moment, Xu Desi smiled.

"Let's go take a look."

"Aren't you afraid?"

Why don't you ask them if they're afraid of me?

The mouse was taken aback for a moment, then gave a thumbs-up and laughed, "You've got guts!"

Good guy.

The negative aspects of the case have been brought to the extreme, making it one of the cases nationwide that cannot be overturned.

Furthermore, the local public security, procuratorate, and court have made it clear that they intend to handle this case seriously, and the opposing party's civil litigation lawyers are an elite team.

Even local lawyers are hesitant to take the case.

As a result... the other party went to take a look.

That's incredibly bold!

"Alright, you go ahead then. I'll go collect the other people's plastic bottles first."

The mouse didn't say anything more, and with a push of its foot, it kicked the tricycle away.

Xu De looked down and saw that, without anyone noticing, the old man had quietly pried open the U-lock that locked the front wheel.

"Well, this old man and Wang Chao are really kindred spirits, no wonder they can chat so well, and he even has lock-picking skills..."

Xu De was speechless.

He immediately put aside his thoughts and pondered the case in Haicheng for a long time.

His expression suddenly hardened, and he took out his phone to call Lin Yue.

"Secretary Lin, book a few plane tickets... yes, for tomorrow."

"Take Qian Hao and Wang Chao with you. As for where to go..."

"destination...."

"Haicheng!"

The phone hangs up.

Time seemed to accelerate, and everyone's actions were transformed into a straight line of afterimages.

Lin Yue booked her plane ticket and arranged her itinerary in Haicheng.

until.......

8 month 18 day.

Four people, dressed formally and standing upright, stepped onto the plane. As the plane took off shakily, its tail disappeared into the horizon in no time.

......

......

at the same time.

Dongguo, Haicheng.

Haicheng is one of the four first-tier cities and one of the most famous financial cities in the world.

If you can experience the local culture nurtured by a long history in other places, then in Haicheng...

You will feel a unique sense of petit-bourgeois sophistication.

Yes.

It's all about a sophisticated, bourgeois lifestyle.

The word "finance" is like a reckless truck, smashing regional culture to pieces and creating its own unique culture: "commerce, fast pace, glitz and glamour, and decadence."

4:30 PM.

A plane slowly landed, the cabin door opened, but instead of familiar figures, a somewhat familiar-looking person slowly walked out.

"Phew~"

"Haicheng... Ha, it's been three and a half months, he's finally back."

The top lawyer, Yan Mi, stood at the cabin door, gazing at the vast airport stretching as far as the eye could see, and took a deep breath.

Yes.

It's extremely tight!

Through the efforts of the Honglang Law Firm, the other party was released from the Yanzhou City Detention Center.

However, the situation is not yet fully resolved; if any problems are discovered, the individual will need to immediately return and be detained.

But it's not bad for him.

At least the person came out, right?

Looking back on the past three and a half months, Yan Mi felt a pang of regret.

These three and a half months...

It was truly the darkest moment of his legal career!

Even when he lost a major case and was caught in a media storm, he had never suffered like this. It was like hell. If he could, Yan Mi would never want to go back to Yanzhou City in his life.

"Alright, Attorney Yan, Director Yang and the others are waiting for you."

Beside him, a fellow lawyer spoke up, addressing Yan Mi.

I heard a noise.

Yan Mi glanced at the other person, then suddenly felt a surge of anger, and gritted his teeth, saying:

"Heh heh, Attorney Ding... what cases has Attorney Ding taken on in Haicheng over the past three and a half months?"

Yes.

The person next to him is Ding Yan... Lawyer Ding Yan!

In other words, Ding Yan, a top-tier senior lawyer in Haicheng whose abilities are in no way inferior to those of a top-tier senior partner, was someone that Honglang Law Firm had been keen to cultivate, but who would have thought...

This guy just can't be careful, no matter what, even the law firm is at a loss.

In the past, Yan Mi was puzzled. Even a pig should have been promoted to gold medal by now. How could the other party have managed to stay stuck for so many years with all the external forces in place?

Now he understands.

Pigs can't run.

But Ding Yan will run away!

The man went to Yanzhou City to investigate the case, and he and his apprentice disappeared without a trace. No matter how many times Yan Mi called or called, the other party simply wouldn't return.

Upon hearing the question, Ding Yan replied shyly:

"Haha, the law firm didn't assign me many cases either."

"I've been working on financial cases for the past three and a half months... all using my own resources, of course."

The words were spoken.

Before the other person could ask a question, he continued:

"Let's get off the plane first."

"The plane arrived a bit early this time, so the law firm's car probably hasn't arrived yet. We'll rest for a bit at the exit."

talking.

He quickly walked forward again.

Haicheng Airport is very large.

It's less like an airport and more like a small, independent town. Passengers need a dedicated subway line to pick up and drop off passengers at different stations, and then they need to take a bus to disembark.

After working on it for a while...

Yan Mi and Ding Yan also sat at the exit, leaning against public chairs and silently waiting for people.

During the waiting period.

Yan Mi pondered deeply, and after a long while, his brow furrowed, and he said in a deep voice:

"Ding Yan, what happened at the law firm? Why do I have to come back now?"

to be frank.

A meticulous calculation was performed.

He can handle things in Yanzhou City on his own. The "Mushan Case" has indeed caused him a lot of trouble, but it's not fatal.

He only needs to stay in the detention room for a month and then pay the price for that month.

Although it will hurt, it's better than going to jail or even having your license revoked!

Can......

The law firm knew he could handle it himself, but they still came ahead of time to bail him out. This is not like Honglang Law Firm's usual style, unless... they needed him for something.

"You guessed right."

Ding Yan nodded, then curled his lip, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

He crossed his arms and said in a sarcastic tone:

Do you remember that insurance case?

Yan Mi paused, his brow furrowing. "The 'Huimin Ankang Insurance Company Case' from last year?"

"It's this one."

"What happened to the case? Wasn't it handled by one of those big law firms that have partnerships with the company?"

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"This case..."

Ding Yan didn't even bother to pretend anymore and just laughed out loud:

"In July, the company's boss and chairman were shot and killed by the losing party in a lawsuit!"

"His death has had a far greater ripple effect than expected. The entire insurance company is in a state of chaos, with all kinds of business resources disrupted and scattered. Countless contracts that were signed long ago have been invalidated and need to be re-signed."

Honglang Law Firm wants a piece of meat.

But without a high enough standing, a lawyer can only get a little soup at best.

In particular, Hong Lang's closest relationship with the insurance company is Yan Mi, yet the other party is detained, and it sounds like they will be detained for at least another month... How could Hong Lang's law firm be willing to do that?

Every day we delay means one less day's worth of food money!

but.

What truly concerned Yan Mi was something else entirely.

"Shoot him!?" Yan Mi was slightly taken aback; he hadn't heard those two words in a long time.

Immediately afterwards, he looked around with a sense of apprehension.

What if Haicheng still has guns, and one of them shoots him...?

He swallowed hard.

Ding Yan, however, didn't care at all. After all, he didn't think anyone would shoot him, and casually replied:

"Heh heh, the dead company chairman...yes, that's your friend, what was his name, 'Wei Tian'?"

"When someone dies, someone has to cry, and when someone cries, there's a sense of pent-up anger in their heart."

"Wei Tian's family was very angry, thinking that the other party had gone too far. Even if Wei Tian was wrong, did he deserve to die? So they hired three major law firms, 'Golden Eagle,' 'Du Mao,' and 'Ding Sheng,' to pursue his civil and criminal liability."

"The defendant in the first instance has already been sentenced to death."

Capital also has a home; as long as it's not a cold-blooded animal, it naturally has kinship with each other.

Perhaps family ties can become tainted by factors such as money.

But no matter how things change, at least it hasn't reached the point where family members have been killed, so I don't feel any anger.

The ridiculous thing is...

"Ha, he gets angry now that the person's dead. When he was taking their money, why didn't he think about not going to such extremes?"

Ding Yan shook his head and said casually.

The strictness was something that made him secretly marvel.

'Golden Eagle', 'Du Mao', 'Ding Sheng'...

"Good heavens, they're all from top-tier law firms, and the team they've assembled is probably full of veteran lawyers from across the country... all to deal with a disabled cripple?"

"Tsk, paying money to buy his life, a bit arrogant."

The thought of spending money to buy life.

Yan Mi suddenly seemed to remember something, and his expression turned slightly unpleasant. It was clear that these four words had triggered some memories from the past three and a half months.

"Heh heh, didn't Attorney Ding also go to extremes?"

"They're not even terminating the contract; they're in breach of contract!"

His tone was full of sarcasm.

The other party ran away back then, risking breach of contract and having to pay the price... The way they ran away so decisively, without any hesitation, makes it hard to imagine what this person was thinking.

Ding Yan didn't know how to explain, so in the end, he could only tentatively whisper:

"Attorney Yan, how about I teach you how to run?"

"To be honest, although everyone in the institute says I'm hopeless, and Director Yang got angry with me a few times."

"But I have absolutely no blemishes. Even if Hong Lang doesn't want me anymore... just looking at my resume, any law firm in Haicheng would open its doors to me."

Yan Mi sneered, "Ha, do you think I'm like you?!"

"this......"

Ding Yan smacked his lips, feeling a little regretful, and then looked at the watch on his wrist.

"Please sit here for a while."

"I'm going to go make a phone call and see where our pick-up person is."

The words were spoken.

He got up and walked to the side, disappearing from sight in a short while.

As for being rigorous.

He remained seated, a disdainful expression on his face, making no attempt to conceal his emotions.

"Heh heh, running away...that's the act of a coward."

"Ding Yan, Ding Yan, this is all you'll ever be. You'll only ever have the title of senior lawyer, always afraid of all sorts of dangers, and you'll never actually get ahead."

"Risk often comes with huge rewards!"

Yan Mi felt that running away was an act of cowardice.

He felt utterly ashamed of this.

As for what to do if you encounter a very strong opponent?

Hehe.

To be honest, he is a top lawyer at Honglang Law Firm.

He is a senior partner at the top 100 law firms in the country, specifically the 80th ranked law firm!

Even if a senior partner from the Red Circle were to arrive, Yan Mi wouldn't necessarily be afraid of them. Unless it was Jin Jun from Yanjing who confronted him, Yan Mi wouldn't even entertain the slightest thought of running away.

"Heh heh, coward..."

She murmured, her arms tightly crossed over her chest.

but.

Just as he opened his mouth, in a daze, the crowd in front of him moved like a flowing river...

In a daze.

A young-looking figure in a suit was walking towards the exit, partially obscured by the crowd.

That figure...

It gradually matched a lingering image in his mind.

Yan Mi was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously blinked hard, trying to see clearly, so he squinted again.

As their gaze sharpened, the blurry figure in the distance gradually became clearer.

This person......

"Why does this look so familiar?"

Yan Mi hesitated, just as he was about to stand up and lean closer to see if it was a hallucination.

In a daze.

"Hiss~"

The figure seemed to notice something and subconsciously looked in Yan Mi's direction, its profile appearing right in Yan Mi's eyes.

In an instant.

A stern, unwelcome face appeared before my eyes.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and without hesitation, almost instinctively, he immediately turned to the side and hid behind a pillar, his breathing becoming rapid and his chest heaving violently.

After a moment of caution, he mustered his courage and glanced sideways at the crowd, but the other person had already disappeared.

"A...hallucination?"

"By the way, Yanzhou City is so far from Haicheng, and Lusen City is not close to Haicheng either. It must be a hallucination...it must be a hallucination."

Cold sweat beaded on Yan Mi's forehead, and he muttered to himself, his administrative thoughts surging like a raging storm.

bad thing.

I've seen a ghost!

He tried to convince himself, but after swallowing hard, he muttered to himself:

"But...but..."

"If this is a hallucination, then the lady looks just like it!"

"But this is Haicheng! It can't be like that. He can't possibly chase after us all the way to Haicheng. I have a grudge against him, but I'm not that petty..."

Yan Mi panicked.

He's panicking right now.

Just as he was at his wit's end, a voice came from beside him.

"What's wrong with you?"

Lawyer Ding Yan, holding a mobile phone, walked towards him with a puzzled look on her face.

Yan Mi stared at him blankly, her forehead covered in cold sweat, her breathing rapid, as if she were deep in thought.

After a long while.

He suddenly spoke:

"Attorney Ding."

Ding Yan asked in confusion, "Hmm?"

"Were you serious about what you said earlier?" Yan Mi asked.

Ding Yan was even more confused. "What do you mean, 'seriously'?"

Yan Mi said, "You mean... you could share some escape experience with me or something like that."

"If that doesn't work..."

"Could you take me back to Yanzhou City first?"

"I'd still be willing to stay in the Yanzhou Detention Center for a while. You can just tell Director Yang that I've committed a crime and gone back to jail."

Ding Yan: ? ? ?

Ding Yan was taken aback.

He stared at the person in front of him, who had just been so polite, as if he would rather die here than live, even if he jumped off the airplane stairs. His mind was filled with questions.

a long time.

He then spoke:

"Let's not talk about this now."

"The shuttle has arrived. Let's go to the insurance company first; there are quite a few people there...and other top-tier law firms like Golden Eagle are also there."

After saying that, he turned and left.

......

"Huh? Did I see that wrong?"

at the same time.

As he walked out of the airport, Xu De sat on a public bench by the roadside, muttering to himself. His brows were furrowed, and he would occasionally glance back at the airport behind him.

Beside him.

Wang Chao looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong?"

Xu De hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and put his thoughts aside.

"It's nothing, it must be my imagination."

He thought he saw someone familiar in the crowd, but couldn't remember who it was. When he looked again, he couldn't find them anymore.

It looks like a hallucination.

But it doesn't matter, we should focus on the important business first.

"Attorney Lin, how's the letter coming along?"

Xu De turned his head and looked at Lin Yue beside him.

Lin Yue was writing a letter. Her handwriting was neat and beautiful, and there were no traces of correction on the letter. The writing and logic were very meticulous.

Upon hearing the voice, she replied:

"It's almost finished."

"You can mail it to the Haicheng Procuratorate now."

Yes.

This was mailed to the Haicheng Procuratorate.

Currently, they want to take on the defense of this shooting case, but they need to meet with the defendant, Li Jie, first to understand the situation before discussing whether to take on the case.

Here comes the problem.

Li Jie is currently being held in a detention center, and outsiders are not allowed to visit him freely. As for his family, Xu De and others do not know how to contact them.

Furthermore, the authorities have explicitly prohibited lawyers from voluntarily going to detention centers to offer their services.

So.

Theoretically, the only way to "recommend" is to write a letter to the procuratorate, which will then contact the defendant, inquire about the defendant's opinion, and finally, go to the detention center for a meeting and to sign a contract.

only.......

What's the working style of the Haicheng Procuratorate like?

"Will they make things difficult for me?"

Wang Chao couldn't help but turn to look at Qian Hao beside him.

"You barbarian, aren't you supposed to be a know-it-all? Do you even understand the legal system in Haicheng?"

"Hehe."

Qian Hao rolled his eyes, crossed his arms, but didn't refuse to answer. Instead, he said:

"The environment in first-tier cities is far fairer and more just for ordinary people than in small towns."

The larger the city.

This means more people are watching you.

In small towns, everyday interactions and social obligations can lead to some people covering for each other.

But big cities are different.

Firstly, people in lower positions have no authority to do it, and people in higher positions dare not do it, unless it is someone who is relatively secretive and of a very high rank who is handling the matter.

These kinds of things usually have nothing to do with ordinary people.

Therefore, it's unlikely that they'll be treated unfairly.

Putting aside everything else.

The speed at which certain matters are handled can reveal the differences in the judicial environment of different regions.

"Then don't mail it. Just give it to the procuratorate directly. It's like submitting an application."

Lin Yue made up her mind.

The group first went to have lunch, then found a post office and mailed the letter to the prosecutor's office.

Lin Yue still felt uneasy, so she began to gather information related to the case locally.

And with his collection.

This letter quickly came to the attention of the Haicheng Intermediate People's Procuratorate.

This is a normal procedure. The prosecutor's office did not conduct any obstruction procedures. Although they had some questions about the law firm mentioned in the letter, the final decision rested with the defendant.

And so.

The prosecutors made a quick call to the detention center to ascertain the defendant's attitude, and the center had prepared a power of attorney.

And so.

Xu De, who had been staying at the procuratorate, was granted permission to meet with the person almost immediately.

That afternoon, the four went to the detention center to request a meeting with Li Jie.

This case is rather unusual.

The people in the detention center didn't take care of Li Jie, but they took good care of this case.

finally.

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

Xu De successfully met the defendant named "Li Jie"!

......

"Squeak~"

In Haicheng, the door to the lawyer's meeting room at the detention center rang with a sound.

Xu De slowly stepped inside, looked up, and glanced at the scene inside.

There was one person sitting in the meeting room.

A man.

The other person was about 1.73 meters tall, wearing a detention center uniform, with his hands cuffed, and a buzz cut. He wasn't very tall, and his body was thin... truly skin and bones. His face was expressionless, but his eyes revealed a sinister look.

Xu De lowered his gaze and, through the glass, could barely see the other person's lower body, with one of the trouser legs... now lying empty on the chair, without any padding.

It was obvious that he was lame, or rather, disabled, with one leg missing.

This person... is Li Jie.

He is 37 years old and male.

At this moment, the defendant Li Jie was also clearly sizing up Xu De.

"Hello."

Xu De withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, took three steps forward, and, meeting the other person's questioning gaze, smiled:

"Let me introduce myself. My surname is Xu, my given name is De, and I am a lawyer. You can call me Lawyer Xu."

"I believe the detention center has already communicated with you, so I won't go into the details of the purpose of this visit."

"Mr. Li, our Houde Law Firm would like to further understand the charges against you."

He's here to learn about the case.

So... you want to try taking it on!?

In a daze.

Li Jie's originally gloomy eyes showed a hint of emotion, and he paused slightly.

To be honest, almost no one in Haicheng is willing to take this case.

Firstly, insurance companies are large, and their eagerness to take on projects inevitably invites retaliation.

Secondly, the case is indeed true, but there is no way to see a chance of winning.

Yes.

Not to mention others, even Li Jie himself holds a pessimistic view of his future!

So, although he appealed, he was just waiting to die.

Before the trial, the Justice Bureau found him a barely passable legal aid lawyer to defend him, but he was subsequently crushed again in court.

After all, that's how the first trial went.

"Heh heh, do you know what crime I committed?"

Li Jie said sarcastically, raising his hand. The shackles on his hands reflected the light, making them look somewhat dazzling.

Xu De still had a smile on his face.

"Mr. Li, don't be too pessimistic. Nothing in this world is absolute."

"If you don't let us know, how are we supposed to know if the case will even get a chance to be solved?"

Upon hearing this...

Li Jie fell silent. This was the first time in months that the other party had said this to him. Even the guards at the detention center had privately said that there was no way to fight.

"Houde Law Firm..."

He murmured the other person's "family name".

Although he hadn't heard of it, after a moment of silence, he replied expressionlessly:

There's not much to say about the case.

"He robbed me of my money, so I shot him."

After a moment's thought, Xu De asked, "Your gun... I'd like to ask, did you intend to kill him?"

Premeditated murder is also known as murder.

In cases of vendettas, the sentencing differs between crimes of passion and murder, with murder typically receiving a heavier penalty and being dealt with more severely.

Li Jie shook his head and said self-deprecatingly:

"I don't have that ability."

Murder...you need to know where the victim will be and what kind of security is around.

Li Jie was just an ordinary person, so naturally he wouldn't know.

so......

"Was it a coincidence that we met that day?" Xu De raised an eyebrow.

Li Jie was silent for a moment, then finally said, "It wasn't exactly a coincidence. I just saw his car on the road and followed it."

That is somewhere between murder and a crime of passion, but leans more towards a crime of passion.

only......

"Where's the gun?"

Xu Dedao: The biggest negative factor in this case is the shooting.

"as well as......"

His gaze shifted downwards, landing on the other person's empty leg.

"What happened to your leg?"

There are indeed crimes involving broken legs, and the number of people arrested for them is countless.

but......

Xu De had never heard of the police removing and confiscating people's prosthetic legs after arresting them.

If that's the case, then what's going on with Li Jie?

"That gun is my leg."

Li Jie chuckled self-deprecatingly, patting his empty right leg, which had long since been amputated, and said:

"About ten years ago, I was working as a fitter under a master craftsman. He had a machine tool, and I would make things whenever I had free time."

"This gun was made back then."

The manufacturing process of guns is not complicated.

If all you're after is the ability to kill, then some fitters can certainly do that.

Even some fitters who studied at university 26 years ago had the knowledge and machine tools they had at school that allowed them to make very good guns by hand, but they were simply banned.

If the material or machine tool is prohibited, the machine tool will automatically stop and sound an alarm whenever a command to rub the tool is entered.

but......

Li Jie was tinkering with a gun more than ten years ago.

The gun ban was introduced in 95!

in other words......

"Back then, guns weren't banned yet, and I used this gun for hunting. Later, when guns were banned, I couldn't bear to give it up, so after my leg was broken, I got a prosthetic leg."

"We initially thought this thing couldn't kill anyone, it couldn't even fire a simple shot, but who would have thought..."

Who would have thought?

Wei Tian was shot in the head and died instantly, without any need for rescue.

but.......

"Wait, you converted the gun into a prosthetic limb?"

Xu De suddenly paused, raised an eyebrow, and hesitated before speaking:

"To what extent should it be changed?"

Wei Tian said, "Everything that needed to be changed has been changed."

"Otherwise, why do you think I was able to show up in Haicheng wearing that thing? And even go to court?"

to be frank.

A gun that you make yourself by hand might not even be a gun in the traditional sense.

Xu De didn't know what the gun Li Jie had conjured actually looked like, but the fact that he could wear it in court...

The most important point is that the core components of the firearm must have been disassembled!

Could you please elaborate?

In a daze.

Xu De suddenly seemed to have an idea, and after stroking his chin and thinking for a moment, he said.

"These... are the core components."

Li Jie didn't know what the other person was thinking, so after a slight hesitation, he carefully said:

"However... only a few parts were disassembled."

"What I made is somewhat similar to a double-barreled shotgun, with a movable 'joint,' but it's a single-barreled one."

"I removed the firing mechanism and made some modifications to the appearance. In the end, this became my prosthetic leg."

A double-barreled shotgun?

A gun like the kind that doesn't have a magazine and you have to load two rounds into the barrel each time.

This does look a lot like a knee, and if a prosthesis is needed... well, this is practically a ready-made one.

only......

Xu De suddenly narrowed his eyes. If Zhang Wei and Yan Mi were here, they would immediately realize that he must have thought of something again.

"Are you sure? Are you sure you removed the firing mechanism?"

Li Jie gave a bitter laugh: "I'm sure, otherwise I would have been arrested long ago..."

He himself couldn't understand why he could still fire bullets even after removing the firing mechanism.

They didn't even know...

Where did the bullets come from?

But ultimately, this gun, which took more than a decade to manufacture, did fire, and it killed someone.

"Okay, that's a preliminary understanding."

"Mr. Li, our Houde Law Firm is very willing to take on your 'prosthetic limb murder case'."

"Perhaps you need some rare help."

What do you think?

Xu De smiled, appearing to have a strong sense of professional ethics.

Li Jie paused, saying he was willing to take on cases where the defendant was sentenced to death in the first instance and the appeal went to the High Court.

but......

His case involved a shooting.

"Murder with a prosthetic limb?" Li Jie was suddenly stunned, and subconsciously said, "Attorney Xu, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"The prosecutor's office and the court have made it very clear that this case is a shooting... I made this gun myself, do you think I don't know whether it's a gun or not?"

"No, Mr. Li, you may have some misunderstanding about your behavior."

"But in short, as things stand, this case is..."

"The Prosthetic Limb Murder Case!"

"As for the attitudes of the prosecutor's office, the court, and the opposing lawyers..."

Xu De paused for a moment, then slowly began to speak:

"Don't worry."

"I will personally negotiate with them later."
