Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

People need to learn; the more they learn, the more capable they become.

The older generation always says that one should learn until old age. In the past, Qian Hao did not believe it. He thought it was all nonsense. He had learned law thoroughly at a young age and had memorized all kinds of legal classics.

Why would you need to keep learning until you're old?

But now it's different.

Qian Hao realized... he had to learn, he really had to learn, he couldn't afford not to!

After listening to the other party's proposed solution, he came to his senses, his face showing a mixture of emotion and wistfulness.

"Attorney Xu...have you ever considered becoming a visiting professor at a university? Like, giving a couple of classes every now and then."

Visiting professor?

Xu De shook his head, appearing extremely calm.

"That's fine, being a professor isn't that easy."

Becoming a professor at a university actually has many advantages. Putting aside the honor and reputation, the collaboration with the university alone can be greatly enhanced. Unfortunately, Xu De is too young.

Qian Hao quickly asked, "Is it age?"

"Director Xu, you can rest assured, I can take care of it for you at home!"

He really wanted to hear the other person's lecture!

He has no choice but to study; Qian Hao loves learning too much.

"Alright, alright, the case is important, there's not much time left for the trial. Besides, this is the second instance, there's no chance to appeal if you lose... As for the difficulty of a retrial, you all know that."

Lin Yue quickly stopped the two from talking.

Firstly, the thought of what would happen to the legal community in Dongguo after Xu De passed on his fighting style made her eyes twitch.

Secondly... just as she said.

There's still time left in this case, but there won't be a second chance!

If you lose in the first instance, you can appeal to the second instance, but if you lose in the second instance, then it is a complete and utter defeat!

What?

Isn't there a third hearing, which is a retrial?

Let's just say, forget about winning a retrial. If you can get the authorities to initiate a retrial for a case... then the mere fact of 'initiating' it is enough for you to win dozens of times in the second instance!

Therefore, a retrial is unlikely to be initiated, and the second trial will be the final outcome!

"Shall we go to a forensic science center?"

Wang Chao raised an eyebrow and asked excitedly, feeling his blood boiling.

After gathering his thoughts, Qian Hao shook his head and rejected the idea outright.

"Idiot, lawyers can't apply for forensic medical examination."

Wang Chao said, "I know, what I mean is, why don't we just have the court make the appointment? The 'Firearms Identification' is a must, you can't just drag it out until the last minute."

In Case 18, Xu De obtained a personal identification at the last minute through anonymous identification, which was subsequently presented as evidence in court.

The effect is excellent, truly outstanding; it works instantly upon application.

So, what about this case?

Can the identification also be done anonymously?

impossible.

Let's not even mention that murder weapons are strictly regulated by public security, procuratorate and judicial authorities.

Even if you actually end up with the murder weapon, and you take a gun to an identification center and ask for anonymous testing...

The next second, the appraisal center will make a mysterious phone call, and a group of mysterious men in blue will warmly invite you to have tea.

In short.

They could only apply to the court, which then appointed an official.

But then a problem arises.

"No, direct identification would be too difficult. This approach must be done by surprise."

Lin Yue shook her head, seeing through the drawbacks at a glance.

"If we apply directly on the grounds of 'classifying the murder weapon'... it's easy to alert the other party, who can then bring an 'expert assistant' to court."

"Even if you have evidence, it will take a long time for both sides to pull each other in."

"Not to mention... our opposing lawyer in the first trial was Du Teng, and we are very likely to face him as well. He is a senior lawyer at Golden Eagle Law Firm, and he has a very strong network. Although no one dares to cause trouble openly in the case, this kind of application can be 'reasonably blocked'."

After these words, the group calmed down.

Yes.

Applications are not guaranteed to be approved; they can be blocked.

Xu De requested that the gun be examined; if Du Teng really wanted to cover it up...

It's inevitable that some people will reject the case on the grounds that "the first instance has already determined the nature of the crime, so there is no need for a second evaluation."

By then, the enemy had already been alerted, and if they then filled the gap with cement... the defendant, Li Jie, would be doomed and would definitely die!

However, it's not entirely hopeless.

"Got it."

Xu De's mind raced for a moment, and a deceptive trick popped into his head.

"Attorney Lin, please draft two applications."

Lin Yue was slightly surprised, her face full of suspicion. "Two portions?"

Their assessment can be completed in one document.

Whether it's determining the nature of the murder weapon and identifying whether it's a gun, or whether it was predictable, these are all the responsibilities of the Trace Evidence Examination Department of the Provincial Department's Evidence Center.

Ultimately, the results are attributed to the "bullet trace specialists," and the findings are documented in the same file.

So... why write two copies?

It's important to understand that having two applications means you need the court's approval twice. If either application is rejected, it will be difficult to achieve the conditions for a "not guilty plea"!

Xu De nodded.

"Yes, two portions."

"An application was submitted under the title of 'Qualitative Appraisal of the Mechanical Structure of the Murder Weapon'."

"The other document is titled... 'Firearms Stability Kinetic Energy Testing'."

Firearms...kinetic energy?

What is the mechanical structure of the murder weapon?

To be honest, just looking at the first reason for the application, everyone paused slightly and subconsciously wanted to reject it.

After all, their qualitative assessment of the mechanical structure is essentially a self-inflicted wound, suggesting that the gun is not a gun and needs to be reassessed.

But a second reason emerged, and when the two were linked together...

"Wait, mechanical structure, firearm kinetic energy... huh?"

"Wait a minute, this... kinetic energy detection? You want people to think that you're not appealing 'not guilty,' but rather 'appealing for a reduced sentence'!?"

After a moment of digestion, Lin Yue suddenly exclaimed in astonishment:

"You're trying to fool Du Teng?"

"No...it's probably trying to deceive the court!?"

What does this mean?

Let me put it this way.

Li Jie's gun was actually not lethal.

Yes, the "Injury Result" report from the first instance trial clearly stated the exact amount of kinetic energy released by the weapon.

A gun needs at least 70 joules to penetrate the skin and soft tissue without hitting the sternum and ribs!

What if it's murder, penetrating the body?

It would take at least 120-160 joules to achieve that!

in case.

After Xu De applied for an appraisal...

"Two types of assessments, on the surface, will show that your purpose is... one is that the mechanical mechanism is too weak, and the kinetic energy is theoretically insufficient to kill."

"The death of the defendant Wei Tian was a low-probability event, which falls under the category of 'foreseeable accident,' and he should bear criminal responsibility."

"But given the unexpected nature of the case, is a reduced sentence possible?"

Wang Chao also figured it out, raised an eyebrow and glared.

"But in reality..."

"Once this gun is examined, the resulting report could easily prove the defendant not guilty!"

"It was an 'unpredictable' accident!"

Yes.

If you assert that you are innocent, it will be difficult for the other party not to resort to underhanded tactics.

However, if you make the other party think that your method is ridiculous and that you can reduce the sentence by focusing on the minimal kinetic energy, then... the other party will most likely not take it to heart.

Thus, a certain outcome is achieved.

"Deceive the court? Deceive Du Teng?" Qian Hao asked thoughtfully.

I don't like hearing you say that!

Xu De didn't refute at all, but looked at the other person with extreme disgust, crossed his arms, and said:

What does it mean to deceive the court?

"Where did I deceive the court? Was there any deception in the reason I gave for my application? No! And then I used the appraisal provided by the Evidence Center based on this reason to fight the case. Was there any false relationship involved? Where was the deception!?"

Is it a scam?

No lie!

Deceiving means saying something that doesn't match the facts.

For example, banks and insurance.

The bank tells its customers that they can earn interest on the money they deposit there, but in reality, they are just selling them insurance. That's called fraud.

But Xu De did not.

He said he went to have the kinetic energy tested, but the evidence center rejected the test, saying that the murder weapon had no kinetic energy and was not a gun. He then took this report to court.

Where is the deception in this?!

"most......"

Xu De solemnly instructed his subordinates, feeling that these people thought too badly of him.

I'm not that bad! Lying is illegal!

I never lie to anyone.

"That's called the art of language!"

"this......"

Qian Hao said he had nothing to say, and he felt he had learned something new.

But after thinking it over, I didn't care anymore.

Both Huimin Ankang Insurance Company and the bank were able to swindle Li Jie and other victims out of their entire fortunes.

What does it have to do with us deceiving the court and fooling Wei Yuan?

After a while, you lie to me and I lie to you, at most we'll be even!

"You've got some nerve, coming all the way to Haicheng and still daring to do this... This is Haicheng, a municipality directly under the central government, where leaders are everywhere. I thought you'd at least tone it down..."

"Shh, stop chattering and hurry up and get ready, let's go."

"I'll write the application tonight and apply for the assessment tomorrow."

"Okay!"

After making up their minds, the four tidied up the examination room a little and headed outside.

"Squeak~"

As soon as I stepped out of the document review room, the chilly air of the High Court hit me again.

The four of them took a deep breath, just managing to calm their anxious hearts.

next second.

The staff member who led them to the examination room happened to appear right in front of them.

The other party was taken aback.

Then the staff member laughed and said, "The court is closed for the day, so what about the document review room..."

Lin Yue quickly replied, "I understand, I understand. We just finished our investigation too."

The words were spoken.

Lin Yue, Wang Chao, and Qian Hao looked away, their heads down, appearing rather guilty as they left with Xu De.

Although they didn't lie.

But I still feel... it's not very ethical. Even if the other party isn't a judge, but just a court employee, you still have to feel a little guilty.

compare to.

Xu De's expression was much calmer. As he walked away, he smiled and nodded at the staff member as he passed by, showing no sign of guilt and even appearing somewhat self-righteous.

The staff looked at the four people with suspicion, their brows furrowed slightly.

"What did they do? Why do they look so guilty?"

"They can't steal the computer, can they...?"

The staff member fell into deep thought.

......

......

8 month 19 day.

10 a.m.

On the overpass leading to the Higher People's Court.

A luxury van was moving along the overpass, its wheels spinning rapidly, yet the vehicle remained extremely stable.

Several figures could be vaguely seen through the car window.

inside the car.

"Attorney Du, regarding the insurance company, there are currently many people involved in the case because of the 'policy'... What I mean is, there are also many people following the example of the defendant Li Jie in suing the company."

"Hehe, do you know where the courts refer to when deciding similar cases?"

"Well, so most people have actually given up... Currently, some of them have backed down and are treating their policies like savings, waiting for the policies to mature so they can get all their assets back according to the contract."

"A wise man knows when to yield."

"However, some people in the company have started to raise some issues, and some shareholders are getting scared..."

"..."

In the car.

Lawyer Du Teng sat in the back seat of the car with his eyes closed, resting. He was wearing an expensive custom-made suit that perfectly accentuated his straight figure.

Beside him.

It was lawyer Wang Yan and Yan Mi, and there was another lawyer, Ding Yan, in front of them.

at this time.

Wang Yan was holding a series of documents. She pushed up her glasses and looked at Du Teng.

"The shareholders are afraid that among the victims... there might be another person like Li Jie."

"Yes, they are also afraid of the bank, and for the same reason, they choose to accept defeat."

The words were spoken.

Du Teng opened his eyes, looked at the indictment documents in his hand, and frowned slightly.

There's an old saying that goes something like this.

Capital is inherently weak; all its aggressive behavior is nothing more than a paper tiger.

Because of the case, Li Jie killed Wei Tian directly.

Murder in the street!

The murder weapon was a gun that the other party had made himself, and there were dozens of people around. In the end, Li Jie was killed by Wei Tian!

He was shot in the head; there was no chance to save him, and he died on the spot.

With just a steel ball the size of a little fingertip, Wei Tian, ​​a man with a net worth of hundreds of millions, the CEO of an insurance company, and a powerful figure in the business world, died so easily.

"With Wei Tian dead like this..."

"Those shareholders suddenly realized that no matter how rich they were or how powerful they were in the past, if they really encountered someone like Li Jie... death would only be a matter of seconds."

Du Teng murmured, his brows furrowing slightly.

so......

"The shareholders' attitude has softened somewhat; perhaps... the money obtained through banks can be returned."

Wang Yan echoed again:

"Furthermore, the banks are also afraid."

"After all, the insurance company's boss, Chairman Wei Tian, ​​is dead, but the bank's boss is still around."

"If a second Li Jie were to emerge, it would likely start with bank managers, or even some higher-level management..."

Upon hearing this...

Lawyer Ding Yan, who had been listening silently in the front row, couldn't help but nod in agreement in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm.

The complexity of this case is unprecedented in my lifetime!

First of all.

The insurance company is now somewhat hesitant.

The shareholders started to get scared, afraid of being dragged into it, so they gradually loosened their stance, thinking that it didn't matter if the money could be returned.

But Du Teng and Wei Yuan wouldn't allow it. After all, if the money disappeared, it would prove that Wei Tian had problems, and his faction would have to be properly liquidated within the company. The legacy left by Wei Tian would be completely wiped out.

Consequently, Du Teng and his associates will lose a large sum of money.

and so.

The shareholders believed that the money could be refunded, but Du Teng Weiyuan was unwilling to do so.

Second.

We also need to add the bank!

The bank's top management wasn't involved, but the other side was also at risk of being shot. Every single one of them started cursing.

Therefore, the bank's stance may not be too firm, and the loss of the case may occur sooner, thereby implicating the company and Wei Yuan.

"This case is a bit dangerous."

Lawyer Ding Yan muttered to himself as he sat in his chair, narrowing his eyes slightly. His gaze sharpened, and an idea formed in his mind.

The people behind them, however, had already made their plans.

"Heh heh, just make an example of them."

"This case did not drive everyone to a dead end; Li Jie's extreme case does not represent everyone."

Du Teng glanced at Wang Yan.

There's a loophole in the case: ten years later, the money will be returned to everyone, even if it has lost its value. They used this "stolen" money to create countless profits, but in the eyes of the victims, the money will indeed come back.

and so.

In this situation, there will be very few extremists.

Only Li Jie!

Li Jie is truly at his wit's end.

The other party's mother was sick and couldn't wait four or five years. They needed money now, but if they didn't get the money, the mother's condition would worsen, leading to Wei Tian's death.

In summary.

Du Teng closed his eyes and continued speaking nonchalantly:

"This case is meant to make an example of someone."

"Make it clear to everyone that the consequences of taking extreme measures are beyond what an individual can accept!"

"The death penalty...the more people verbally advocate for courage and integrity, the more hesitant they tend to be when faced with such a situation, and the moment they hesitate, our objective is achieved."

If you don't go to extremes, the money is simply deposited in an insurance company for ten years, and then returned after ten years.

Taking extremes...

That's what happened to Li Jie.

What will be the outcome?

death penalty!

He'll be executed immediately! A few months later, he'll be taken directly to be shot; there's no chance of survival!

Given this cost, and considering the money that can be recovered in ten years... there's a 99% chance there won't be another Li Jie. Thus, the double-layered fraud scheme involving banks and insurance companies succeeds.

In this way, Du Teng can access a lot of resources, and Wei Yuan can maintain his position in the company.

What about the hundreds of victims over the next decade?

Endure it.

Fools just have to suffer!

Du Teng closed his eyes to conserve his energy, his breathing was very steady, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

I don't know how much time passed.

In a daze.

A voice rang out.

"We've arrived at the courthouse."

Du Teng opened his eyes and looked out of the car.

The vehicle was parked safely in front of the Haicheng Higher People's Court, with towering steps seemingly reaching into the clouds not far away.

"Go."

Du Teng uttered two words, then got out of the car and walked towards the High Court.

He came here to find out about his opponent's identity.

To be honest, usually an assistant could handle such a small matter, but he is always cautious, especially during the crucial second trial, so he came in person.

As for the other lawyers, they were there to handle contracts for business collaborations with insurance companies.

"Snapped!"

The car door opened.

Everyone got off the car.

Yan Mi was about to leave, but then suddenly remembered something and subconsciously turned back to look at lawyer Ding Yan.

However, the other party was sitting in the car and had no intention of getting out.

"Attorney Ding, aren't you getting out of the car?" Yan Mi raised an eyebrow and asked tentatively.

Ding Yan looked pained. He clutched his abdomen slightly and said, "Attorney Yan, I'm feeling a little...unwell. You should go ahead."

Yan Mi asked, "Really?"

"Would I lie to you?!"

Ding Yan said, "What benefit would I get from lying to you? You know, if I could get some resources from the insurance company this time, I could call myself a top lawyer!"

A lawyer's rank is not determined by criminal competence, but by a combination of factors, among which business resources account for a significant portion.

This kind of situation where you can get promoted by leveraging resources without much litigation...

To be honest, there was really no reason to refuse.

but.

He stared intently at Ding Yan for a long time, seemingly lost in thought, before finally hesitantly withdrawing his gaze.

"I'll believe you for now."

"Go to the hospital near the courthouse first, find a doctor to prescribe some medicine. Attorney Du and his team won't be able to act too quickly, so you need to hurry."

The words were spoken.

Ding Yan nodded with a grim expression and got out of the car.

The two left.

One walked towards the main hall of the courthouse.

The other man, his face contorted in pain, clutched his abdomen and slowly walked out. At first, his steps were unsteady, then steady, then normal, and finally...

Ding Yan remained expressionless, his steps were swift, and he showed no signs of illness whatsoever.

He stood by the roadside, hailed a taxi, and drove off.

at the same time.

Inside the courthouse.

Lawyer Du Teng strode into the hall.

The moment you step inside, the sweltering heat of August is instantly shut out, and a cool sensation clings to your skin, calming your mind a little.

He walked toward the court's service center.

"I'll handle the company's lawsuit first, and do this while I'm at it..."

Du Teng spoke as he walked, but he hadn't finished speaking yet.

Suddenly.

When the image of the litigation service center came into view, Du Teng stopped walking, and his words also came to a halt.

I followed his gaze.

All I saw was...

A judge was standing in the service center at that moment.

If I'm not mistaken, the judge... is none other than Deng Ping, the deputy presiding judge of the criminal division and a senior judge of the Haicheng Provincial Higher People's Court!

Who is Deng Ping?

Haicheng, one of the three judges in the shooting case!

Although not the presiding judge, his status and position are far beyond that of a judge in an intermediate people's court. In local areas, within the court system, everyone would have to call him "leader"!

only......

At this moment, several people were standing in front of the other party.

A few young people.

Lawyer Du Teng narrowed his eyes, shifted his gaze to the other party, and listened silently without making a sound.

.......

"Judge Deng."

"Regarding the shooting case, on behalf of the defendant, I am now filing an application with the court for a 'Qualitative Appraisal of the Mechanical Structure of the Murder Weapon'."

"In addition, there is an application for 'Firearm Stability Kinetic Energy Testing'."

"There are two copies in total. We request the court to grant the request at its discretion."

At the litigation center, in front of the window.

Lawyer Xu De held two application reports and looked at the judge through the window with a smile.

The other person had just started working recently and then ran into me. Since we'd already bumped into each other, there was no need to communicate directly with the clerk.

The application materials were pushed into the window.

Judge Deng picked it up, looked at the words on it, frowned slightly, and muttered to himself.

"Qualitative Analysis of the Mechanical Structure of Murder Weapons?" or "Kinematic Energy Testing of Firearm Stability?"

After reading the first application.

Judge Deng's mind immediately began to work with the second application, but after reading it aloud, he subconsciously understood the defendant's purpose.

kinetic energy?

The weapon's kinetic energy was indeed insufficient to kill; if it hadn't been for the eye socket, any other spot wouldn't have caused death... or even permanent injury!

So, you want to start from this aspect?

No.

No way.

An accident must be "accidental"; one involving subjective intent no longer qualifies as an accident.

"Are you... sure you want to apply?"

Judge Deng looked at the documents in his hand, spoke without changing his expression, but his words carried a hint of ambiguity.

"Perhaps the expert report will differ slightly from your intended purpose."

The words were spoken.

Lin Yue and Qian Hao, who were standing beside him, couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when they heard these words, even though they had encouraged themselves the night before.

There are slight discrepancies?

They never thought they could successfully identify it!

"Judge Deng, the first instance only conducted an injury assessment, and the weapon assessment hasn't been done yet. The defendant should at least die knowing why."

Xu De looked at the other person with a somewhat wistful tone.

See here.

Judge Deng fell silent, his brows furrowing into a knot.

Looking at the young lawyer from out of town in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

Yesterday, when Xu De signed the power of attorney, he learned that the case had been taken over by someone else.

That's fine; after all, every case needs a defense lawyer.

The worst-case scenario is to drag it out until the very end and have the Department of Justice find a legal aid lawyer for you. The sooner someone takes on the case, the better your chances of success.

However, the lawyer who took on the case...

However, he was a junior lawyer from out of town.

It wasn't that he looked down on other places, but rather that the judicial system in other places was genuinely less advanced than that in Haicheng, and consequently, the lawyers within those systems were naturally not as capable as those in Haicheng.

Li Jie, on the other hand, was sentenced to death...

"Are you sure? Nothing else to add?"

Judge Deng's tone was somewhat complicated as he looked at Xu De with a blank expression.

"The second trial is scheduled for September 9th, which is less than a month away. If we don't apply all at once, the subsequent procedures will take a lot of time."

Time is tight, and it would be a real shame to waste it on going through the motions.

Deng Ping was very troubled by this case.

Li Jie shouldn't have died, but the judiciary needs to sentence him to death, and the judge sitting on the bench has to personally be the "executioner"...

"OK, OK." Xu De nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

He acted like a clueless, inexperienced lawyer, completely oblivious to the other party's subtext.

"You..."

Judge Deng paused for a moment, but didn't say anything more.

His identity implies that the other party has already done a great deal, and continuing would be considered a violation of the rules.

"Okay, I understand. If the presiding judge approves the application, the evaluation can begin as early as the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, thank you."

Xu De nodded repeatedly, then left with Lin Yue and Qian Hao, who were actually feeling extremely guilty.

He seemed extremely polite!

"Sigh, why is it a lawyer from out of town?"

Deng Ping watched the other person's retreating figure, sighed, and felt a mix of emotions.

The lawyer handling the case was young, like a fledgling bird just starting out. The other two lawyers who were assisting in the case were also extremely shy, barely daring to raise their heads in the High Court.

"Ugh."

Deng Ping sighed and turned to leave.

only......

He was about to turn around when he was suddenly interrupted by a voice.

"Judge Deng, please wait a moment."

Looking back.

Then it was lawyer Du Teng. After Xu De left, Du Teng took a deep look at his back and waited until he disappeared before stepping forward and standing next to Deng Ping.

"Du Teng?" Deng Ping frowned slightly. "What is it?"

Du Teng said, "I'm here... to check on the progress of the shooting case."

"What information does the defendant currently have that could advance the case?"

Du Teng asked with a chuckle, his words very direct.

Legally, it is permissible to know information about one's opponent.

This inquiry is perfectly compliant with regulations.

It just feels somewhat disgusting, since the purpose is too obvious.

Deng Ping glanced at the other person and casually said:

"It's nothing, the defendant has only submitted two applications so far."

"One document is the 'Qualitative Appraisal of the Mechanical Structure of the Murder Weapon'."

Qualitative assessment of mechanical structures?

The moment the words were spoken.

Lawyer Du Teng's intuition made him frown, and he subconsciously started to think about something, but before he could think further...

Immediately afterwards, Deng Ping spoke again:

"The other document is the 'Firearm Stability Kinetic Energy Test'."

kinetic energy?

Du Teng's brows relaxed slightly, and he immediately understood what this meant.

"Want a reduced sentence?"

"Yes, the defense lawyer can only try to reduce the sentence... The attitude of admitting guilt, motivation, accident, and grudges, all these factors combined, can indeed help to get a suspended death sentence."

A suspended death sentence.

Even a suspended death sentence for his opponent is a defeat for him!

"Attorney Du, this person... seems a bit different from what Attorney Yan described. Heh heh, it seems Yan Mi is getting more and more out of touch with reality."

After Wang Yan figured it out, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and she couldn't help but casually make a sarcastic remark about Yan Mi.

Taking a kinetic approach, using a suspended death sentence as a basis for commutation is indeed one angle.

but.......

But it was completely different from what Yan Mi had said!

but.

Du Teng chose to respect the opposing lawyer's decision.

"Judge Deng, I'd like to retrieve the defendant's existing documents. Is that alright?"

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Deng Ping and smiled.

"Find the court clerk."

Deng Ping showed no emotion. He had intended to leave, but then, remembering something, he turned back to look at Du Teng, frowning as he said:

"This is Haicheng."

"Don't go too far!"

His words were a warning: the defendant is currently in a pitiful state, and if the plaintiff goes too far... then even a powerful court like the Haicheng High Court will have to seriously consider the backlash from public opinion!

Apart from that.

The defendant's lawyer was also very polite and seemed quite naive and passionate...

Judge Deng, being an old fellow, was rather reluctant to see the other party suffer setbacks.

Du Teng smiled and nodded slightly.

He wouldn't resort to such harsh methods against a small-time lawyer from out of town whom he'd never heard of.

Du Teng nodded slightly.

"Um."

Before long, Du Teng retrieved the file and began to read it. After finishing, he went to do the rest of the work.

As he examined the files...

Deng Ping also submitted Xu De's two application materials.

Deng Ping repeated Xu De's somewhat sympathetic words to the presiding judge.

After he finished speaking, the presiding judge remained silent for a moment.

After a long pause, with a sigh, the application was approved and the authentication process began.

......

8 month 20 day.

Upon receiving the message from the provincial department, the provincial forensic identification center began to cooperate, distributing the task to trace evidence examination units in advance.

......

The Provincial Forensic Science Center has begun its work.

only.

To outsiders, the tests appear to be completely different things, but to professionals... this suddenly raises some questions.

Appraisal Center.

The Trace Evidence Department, specializing in gun and bullet traces, is located inside the laboratory.

In the same group, two inspectors looked at two test reports, their faces showing deep confusion.

"Huh? Why are there two applications?"

"Isn't this the same appraisal process? Why do we need two separate applications, which makes us write two appraisal reports?"

"What's going on at the High Court?"

The two inspectors stared wide-eyed at the materials, completely bewildered as to how these two applications had come from the High Court.

Is it a waste of resources to do one assessment twice?

The two stared at each other, then finally gave up and stopped thinking about it.

"Well, the High Court must have its reasons for approving it."

"Let's do it."

"Team Leader Li, let's take the guns and test the kinetic energy."
