Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Witness...?

Upon hearing those two words, the reactions of the people present varied.

The presiding judge frowned in thought.

Hu Guang and Wang Wei, who were about to say something, paused slightly, then seemed to think of something, their lips moved, but they ultimately did not say a word.

As for the 'plaintiffs' Li Youcai and Liu Cui...

The two had been listening in the whole time, and Li Youcai and Liu Cui looked stunned, unable to figure out who the witness was.

The audience was also buzzing with discussion.

"Witnesses? The defense has witnesses? Wasn't the crime scene supposed to be full of people from Lijia Village...?"

"During the first trial, the testimony sided with the prosecution was less than one-fifth credible. Now, the defendant has produced a witness who is on their side..."

"Could it be those police officers...?"

"Doesn't seem like it..."

"..."

A commotion arose.

Reporter Zhang Xia sat amidst the crowd, listening to the commotion around her, her brows furrowing.

She had investigated the case and indeed hadn't heard of anyone else present at the scene besides the three parties involved. Theoretically, there shouldn't be any witnesses siding with the defendant.

She continued looking without saying a word.

On the judge's bench.

"Bang!"

"quiet!"

Zhang Bingxin took a deep breath and, unusually, tidied up the scene.

The imposing aura instantly suppressed the restlessness, the courtroom fell silent, and everyone turned to look at the trial area.

Zhang Bing thought to himself:

"Defendant, were the witnesses present at the scene?"

Xu De nodded and responded directly, "The witnesses are already in the court's witness room, ready to be summoned at any time."

Upon hearing this...

Zhang Bingxin didn't waste any time and immediately struck the gavel.

"Snapped!"

"Summon the witnesses to court!"

The words fell.

Everyone present turned their gaze to the side of the trial area, staring at the door with furrowed brows, wondering about the identity of the witness.

After a short while, a series of rustling footsteps reached my ears.

Everyone raised an eyebrow, and the next second, the main entrance was opened by two bailiffs.

"Squeak~"

A thin woman, dressed in faded clothes, with slightly unfocused eyes, walked in.

The judge and the prosecutor looked at her with scrutinizing eyes, while the plaintiff... was somewhat agitated.

"Li Li!!!"

In the prosecutor's seat, the "plaintiffs" Li Youcai and Liu Cui spoke in sharp voices.

The two looked at Li Li in disbelief, their faces filled with shock and astonishment.

Who is Li Li?

That's their relative's daughter, and they had a very good relationship with her. How could she appear in court to testify for the defendant?

Of course, what concerned the two of them was something else entirely.

"You dare come to court?!"

"You bitch, I'll tear your dog face to shreds!"

Li Youcai and Liu Cui had ferocious expressions and made a move to ignore the order and climb up from their seats to go towards Li Li.

The two hated each other so much that they wanted to kill Li Li!

They entrusted their grandson to the other party's care, but... the other party actually handed the child over to Wang Mei!

That's why I was forced to sign a letter of understanding, and I didn't even get much compensation. It was all because of the other party!

Li Li was led to the witness stand, and she felt a little guilty after hearing the noise.

But after feeling guilty, she became angry and glared at the other person with wide eyes.

"Silence! Silence!"

Zhang Bingxin took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.

"Prosecutor, please control your emotions. If you continue to disrupt the trial, I have the right to expel you from the courtroom!"

Expelled from the court...

Upon hearing this, Li Youcai and Liu Cui reluctantly shut their mouths, but their angry eyes never left Li Li.

"Witness, please verify your identity information. Are you Li Li from Lijia Village, Lvsen City? Your ID number is..."

Zhang Bingxin shifted his focus back to Li Li.

Li Li was initially somewhat afraid of Li Youcai and Liu Cui.

But right now, all I wanted was for the two to be tried as soon as possible. My fear turned into anger, and I quickly said:

"It's me!"

Zhang Bingxin nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"Witness, where were you during the fight between Wang Qiang and Li Erniu at the time of the incident?"

Li Li said, "I was watching from the side... I even saw people smashing police cars."

After confirming his position, Zhang Bingxin went straight to the point, saying:

"witness."

"After Wang Qiang pushed Li Erniu out of the car, did you see... someone standing behind Wang Qiang? And that person was armed and tried to attack him!?"

The moment this question was asked.

The scene returned to calm.

Everyone held their breath, so quiet that they could hear each other's heartbeats, staring intently at Li Li in the witness stand.

Xu De was the same; he remained expressionless, swallowed hard, and unconsciously clenched his fists.

Li Li is a witness.

However, this does not mean that the other party will speak as Xu De expects, and the questions are all unexpected. No one knows whether Li Li actually knows the answer to the question in court.

If the other party's response can be combined with Xu De's defense, it will... determine the final direction of this trial!

Hu Guang and Wang Wei also kept a close eye on the other side.

In this extremely quiet state...

Is someone behind you?

Li Li spoke, her voice carrying to the ears of over four hundred people present. She frowned and began to speak:

"This... I don't know, I didn't notice."

do not know?

Everyone's heart skipped a beat. Xu De, in the prosecutor's seat, sighed and began to rethink his countermeasures.

But then!

"However, I seem to remember that when that person first tried to leave, it seemed like someone knocked on him."

Li Li suddenly spoke again.

"I might have misremembered, but I do remember that he almost fell to the ground, which is why Erniu tackled him."

"As for who knocked on it and where they knocked, I have no idea."

The words fell.

Suddenly.

Xu De suddenly looked up and stared at Li Li in the witness stand.

"The defendant, Wang Qiang, was knocked on when he tried to leave... he was knocked on!"

This simple sentence lingered and echoed in everyone's mind.

Xu De suddenly let out a deep breath.

When I looked up again.

A slight smile had appeared on his face, a smile of relief.

The not guilty plea is often seen in various movies and TV dramas, but it is very difficult to implement in practice.

How difficult is it?

To put it another way, all the cases that are sent to court have gone through the process of the procuratorate and been screened step by step!

Therefore, with the pre-screening process and the main conclusion of cases based on the principle of presumption of guilt or leniency, the conviction rate of the courts in 2002 was 99.4%.

In other words, there is only a 0.6% chance that the court will declare the defendant innocent in one out of every 1,000 cases, which is no exaggeration to say that it is extremely difficult.

This even includes some cases where the chain of evidence is not smooth, the evidence is questionable, or the accusations are purely false and are easy to expose in court!

In fact, this is a criminal case, not just a murder case.

In cases of murder where the defendant is clearly guilty, the acquittal rate is almost zero!

It cannot even be described as a probability; rather, it is a rare, exceptional, and unrepeatable case in the legal system!

And now.

Xu De might... be able to slightly flick his finger at this probability that is infinitely close to 0, causing it to fluctuate a little.

"presiding judge."

In the silence, a voice came from the defendant's seat.

"The case is already very clear."

"The defendant, Wang Qiang, had no subjective intent to cause harm, nor did he engage in excessive pursuit..."

"The arguments presented by the prosecution are not based on objective facts, lack supporting evidence, are inconsistent with the facts of this case, and are purely subjective conjecture; therefore, they should not be adopted!"

"Now, we are applying..."

Xu De spoke, looking up and staring silently at the three judges in their robes on the judge's bench.

There was no joy, anxiety, or anger on that face; only a stagnant stillness.

He spoke, his voice not loud, but it reached everyone's ears:

"All charges brought by the prosecution are dismissed!"

The instant the sound faded.

The entire courtroom, with its more than four hundred people, was stunned; the previously deathly silent trial came to life.

The hot blood surged again in the veins and flowed into the rapidly beating heart.

The defendant's seat.

Wang Qiang, who had been staring blankly at his handcuffed hands, paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and looked at the figure in the defendant's seat.

All I saw was...

Xu De stared intently at the several figures from the prosecution and the prosecutor's office. Although he was alone, the aura he exuded was in no way inferior to theirs.

Almost all the accusations were dismissed, and all perspectives and suspicions were denied. No matter how capable Hu Guang and Wang Wei are, there will be no more angles for them to use in this case.

Meanwhile, he himself still possessed a bunch of useful information.

In that case, let's begin from now on...

Aliens: Offense and Defense!

Xu De looked up at the three figures sitting high on the judge's platform.

It's time... to put some pressure on the judges!!!
