Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

It's 9:30 in the morning.

The Intermediate People's Court of Lusen City.

Criminal Division One, inside the collegial panel.

"Squeak~"

Judge Liu Jianguo pushed open the door to the collegial room, and a middle-aged man in a judge's robe appeared before him. The man was sitting at his desk, holding several documents in his hands.

Upon seeing this, Liu Jianguo paused.

He walked to the other person's side, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the greasy residue from the unwashed instant noodles in the bowl, and said:

"Didn't you leave last night?"

Zhang Bingxin looked up.

Only after recognizing Liu Jianguo did he put down the documents, his dark-circled eyes squinting at the blinding daylight outside the window.

"What time is it?"

"9:30," Liu Jianguo replied.

"Tsk, I didn't notice the time." Zhang Bingxin shook his head.

After the court session ended yesterday, the defense's words struck him as somewhat strange... He pondered them all night, only to find that the entire conversation revolved around the word "compliance."

"Where is Sun Dong?"

Zhang Bingxin composed himself, looked around, but did not see another judge.

"Shh~"

Liu Jianguo made a 'shush' gesture, then led Zhang Bingxin to the wall, indicating that the other party should put their ear against the wall to listen.

Zhang Bingxin did as instructed with some skepticism.

The next second, through the wall, a faint angry voice rang in my ears.

"What do you mean? So my son died for nothing?!"

"Gods and Gods, is there no justice left? My son was clearly killed, but they insist that he started it..."

"Just you wait, I'll report you to the provincial authorities!"

"..."

Zhang Bingxin looked up at Liu Jian.

"Old Sun is suffering in the interrogation room, and the plaintiffs Li Youcai and Liu Cui are inside." Liu Jianguo felt sympathy for Sun Dong.

Although Sun Dong couldn't be seen through the wall.

But it's clear that the other person is probably in a lot of pain right now.

"Never mind Old Sun."

Liu Jianguo suddenly spoke again:

"Go to the litigation service center, the defense lawyer is here."

That Xu De?

Zhang Bingxin was taken aback, then frowned.

The service center usually doesn't have any problems...

After all, this is where evidence is submitted.

But the problem is, the court only adjourned yesterday, and he's already submitting new evidence?

If you have evidence, why not just use it in court earlier?

It can't have been found at the last minute, it's only been one night, that's unrealistic.

Think about it.

"Let's see what he's up to." Zhang Bingxin stood up.

The two walked out of the deliberation room and headed towards the litigation service center.

The litigation service center is located in the case filing hall.

Its overall appearance is similar to that of a bank teller counter for handling business or withdrawing money.

When the two arrived at the counter, they saw Xu De, who had been waiting for them.

Zhang Bingxin was slightly taken aback after seeing the other person clearly.

"Why does this person... also have dark circles under their eyes?"

Zhang Bingxin frowned slightly.

It's one thing that he has dark circles under his eyes, but after all, he didn't sleep all night because of the debate with the other side.

But Xu De also has it!?

"He wasn't sleeping either? That doesn't make sense, so what was he doing if he wasn't sleeping?"

Xu De didn't think too much about it. When he saw the person arrive, he didn't waste any words and directly handed over the materials through the window.

"This is a statement submitted by the defense; please take a look."

Testimony?

Someone else submitted a testimony? Whose?!

Liu Jianguo was taken aback. He turned a few pages with some skepticism, but the more he read, the more surprised and suspicious he became.

The materials... clearly show several villagers from Lijia Village collectively denouncing Li Youcai and Liu Cui. It seems reasonable, but... if I remember correctly.

These are some of the people who gave testimony that sided with Li Youcai!

These people are changing their testimonies!?

"You..."

Liu Jianguo looked up, but unfortunately, Xu De looked tired and didn't explain much. He left in a hurry after saying just one sentence.

"These are the testimonies of eyewitnesses at the scene in Lijia Village. Please have the court verify them."

As soon as he finished speaking, the other person disappeared.

Liu Jianguo looked down at the multiple copies of the document in his hand, opened his mouth as if to speak, but then stopped, seemingly wanting to speak but holding back.

"Aren't these two Li Youcai's relatives? Why did they suddenly change their story?"

Retracting a confession is no small matter.

If you speak recklessly and cause significant consequences, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for the court to convict you of perjury!

Therefore, most people don't overturn their recorded testimonies, but... Li Sheng and his wife recanted their statements.

They were even relatives of Li Youcai and Liu Cui!

"The deceased was Li Erniu, who was their junior, and he didn't have any connection with Wang Mei and Xu De..."

"How did the lawyer manage to get them to recant their testimony?!"

Liu Jianguo couldn't figure out the logic behind it.

"Never mind, let's have someone check it first."

Zhang Bingxin shook his head and sighed.

Well, after checking all night, the workload has not decreased, but increased instead.

Just as the two were preparing to return...

"Judge Zhang? Judge Liu?"

A somewhat familiar voice rang out.

The two stopped in their tracks, turned around, and saw a familiar face appear before them.

The person who came was...

Prosecutor Wang Wei from the public prosecution side!

At this moment, Wang Wei, with dark circles under his eyes, stood in front of us holding several documents, looking exhausted.

"That's quite a coincidence."

Wang Wei pushed the evidence in his hand into the window, saying, "This is the information the prosecution wants to submit."

Liu Jianguo asked, "What?"

Wang Wei smiled with relief and said:

"Testimony".

"After the court adjourned yesterday, I felt that the recess should not last more than a few days, as the time is rather tight."

"So I didn't sleep at all, and I re-examined all the testimonies."

"Ultimately, we selected those represented by Li Sheng, which were considered relatively complete and credible."

Wang Wei is suffering.

Yesterday, Xu De's words reduced the credibility of the testimony to almost zero, but the prosecution cannot do without the testimony, so they can only re-examine it little by little.

He examined over forty people at the crime scene and dozens of testimonies, and only managed to get this much information after a whole night of review.

Wang Wei thought to himself, "I'll submit it quickly and then go back and get a good night's sleep."

Unfortunately...

"Is it Li Sheng and Li Li?"

Liu Jianguo suddenly felt a lump in his throat. He looked at the document in his hand, and then at what the other party had handed him.

Wang Wei asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, but..."

Liu Jianguo paused, gestured slightly to the documents in his hand, and spoke in silence.

"The defense lawyer just arrived; this is the new evidence he submitted..."

"Li Sheng and Li Li have recanted their testimonies."

"You spent the whole night..."

Liu Jianguo couldn't bear it, but he still spoke up:

"It might have been a waste of time."

Wang Wei: ?

Prosecutor Wang Wei's smile froze on his face.

......

......

at the same time.

Xu De walked down the corridor as he left.

Suddenly, a door beside him was pushed open from the inside out. He instinctively stepped aside, but two unexpected people came out.

Li Youcai and Liu Cui, who were skin and bones, with unfriendly expressions and cursing under their breath, pushed open the door of the meeting room.

The two sides paused briefly upon meeting, and then...

"It's you!"

Liu Cui let out a sharp howl, her eyes instantly filled with gloom.

"You bastard!" Li Youcai started cursing too, "You heartless wretch, we've been bullied so badly, and you're still defending that ingrate..."

"I get it...did she sleep with you?!"

They were both furious, their anger churning in their chests, their eyes filled with a desire to devour Xu De.

no way.

Everything was fine after all.

They can get Wang Qiang imprisoned, and they can also make that ingrate serve them for the rest of their lives.

The whole thing was almost ruined by this person halfway through, how could I not hate him!

Xu De rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to the two of them, and instinctively walked past them.

only.......

"Heh, just you wait, you just wait!"

Liu Cui muttered to herself, her venomous gaze fixed on the figure's back like that of a jackal.

"The child is in our hands... I refuse to believe that ungrateful wretch is so heartless as to abandon his child!"

The two of them made up their minds.

They'll go back and use the child to blackmail her; they don't believe that won't threaten Wang Mei!

"clatter..."

Xu De, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped. He turned around, glanced at the two old men, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

Then, he leaned against the wall, with his back to the two people, and made a phone call.

"Beep beep beep~"

The call was connected.

"Hey? Let me find Wang Mei, please let her speak to me..."

"Buzz...Hey? Attorney Xu, I'm here."

Liu Cui and Li Youcai stared at him, not particularly interested in the phone call. Just as they were about to leave, calculating how to maximize their profits...

"Ms. Wang, is Xiaoyang with you?" Xu De asked as he walked from a distance.

Xiao...Xiao Yang?

Liu Cui paused, her thin, bony face momentarily stunned, and subconsciously looked up at the figure's back.

The next second, a faint sound came from beside my ear...

"Hey~, I'm here."

A child's voice rang out.

That sound...

Why does that sound familiar?

Liu Cui was suddenly stunned. After regaining her senses, she stood there blankly, full of doubt.

Why does that sound like her grandson's voice?

No, it's not just like, it's exactly like this!

They lived together for six years and doted on each other immensely; it's impossible that they wouldn't recognize their grandson's voice.

But then a problem arises...

Their grandson lives in Lijia Village. Although the small shop has a phone, Xu De didn't dial the shop, but rather Wang Mei's place!

Why is it that we can hear their beloved grandson's voice coming from Wang Mei's end?!

"Old man, did I just hear our grandson's voice?"

For some reason, Liu Cui's eyes began to glaze over.

"No...impossible."

Li Youcai also heard it, his face full of confusion. He wanted to go up and catch up with Xu De, but Xu De had already disappeared.

"Da Hu is at Li Sheng's house, doing just fine!"

"We personally handed this to Li Sheng yesterday morning before we came to the city."

"How could that lawyer possibly..."

Li Youcai kept muttering to himself, trying to brainwash himself.

But a pity.

He became increasingly agitated and anxious, and felt a deep sense of unease.

In any case, that voice is exactly the same as his grandson's!

No way... the child should stay in their hometown.

"How about we call the village and ask?"

Liu Cui stammered as she asked the question.

"Yes... call, make a call!" Li Youcai snapped out of his daze.

The two hurriedly walked to the public phone, not caring about the cost, and started dialing after dropping in a coin.

"Beep beep beep~"

"Feed?"

A familiar voice rang out; it was Old Zhang, the shopkeeper at the village store.

Li Youcai was extremely anxious and hurriedly said:

"Old Zhang, why don't you go check on my Da Hu at Li Sheng's house?"

"Look, isn't my Big Tiger still sleeping in the village?"

"Hurry up, hurry up!!!"
