"In this case, officials from the Lusen Municipal Political and Legal Affairs Commission praised the case, and the judicial authorities called it an unrepeatable example!"

"From being accused of intentional homicide to being charged with intentional injury in a second trial, this lawyer ultimately pulled off three reversals, relying on his personal skills to secure an acquittal in the case, and the defendant, Wang Qiang, was released in court!"

"Experts claim that there are no more than three such cases nationwide each year!"

"After the trial, reporters from major newspapers interviewed the defendant's lawyer. One of them asked an extremely tricky question: Why did the opposing side choose to handle the case of the defendant Wang Qiang, a case that seemed impossible to win?"

"And the person involved's response is thought-provoking!"

On the television screen.

The host of Green Forest News paused slightly, and then his clear words were transmitted through the loudspeaker to everyone in every corner of Green Forest City.

He only said...

"Professional ethics!"

The four words fell suddenly.

This moment.

Everyone following the case seemed to be put on pause; they sat frozen in front of their television screens, unable to process what had happened for a long time.

a long time.....

In a daze, everyone's eyes widened, and their faces showed astonishment.

"A victory? Wait, the defendant won that case!?"

"Innocent... Did I mishear, or is there a mistake in this press release? How can this bizarre case result in an acquittal!?"

"Didn't the defendant commit murder? Although I sympathize with him, shouldn't murder always result in a sentence? What kind of acquittal is this?!"

"The Political and Legal Affairs Commission gave it high praise... So what did the defense lawyer do? How could it attract the attention of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission...?"

"..."

In a daze, gasps of astonishment came from every corner.

People who watch the news generally only pay attention to two types of news: Beijing news and local news.

The case of Lijiacun had already been reported on local news, so many people knew about it.

However, most people are taking a pessimistic view of this.

After all, once someone commits murder, there's a 99% chance of being convicted, not to mention that the prosecution is handled by Hu Guang and Wang Wei, making it even harder to recover.

but......

What do you mean, a lawyer I've never heard of knocked over Hu Guang and Wang Wei?

What do you mean by "unreplicable case"?

"Are these two hosts drunk? Is Green Forest City TV station so lax that they can broadcast after drinking?"

Someone who was engrossed in eating suddenly stared blankly at the TV after hearing this, forgetting to chew their food.

Immediately suspicious, he reached out and switched the TV channel to another local news channel.

But as the news channel changed, two new presenters appeared on screen, only...

Why is the Lijiacun case considered an unrepeatable example?

"For this program, we have invited a professor from the Department of Law at Green Forest University. Next, please let Professor Wu analyze this not-guilty plea case for us..."

"..."

As people watched another news broadcast on television, they fell into deep thought.

He didn't mishear.

He is indeed innocent.

Unlike those simply shocked in front of their televisions, the internet is already buzzing with discussion about this case!

On major social media platforms that emerged in 2002, the number of comments from all those following the case skyrocketed at an astonishing rate after seeing official news and court announcements!

[The cat who loves spinach: I'm dumbfounded. Yesterday I was thinking that if all else failed, I'd crowdfund to find Wang Qiang a good lawyer for the second trial. How come he was acquitted today?!]

[A Sudden Downpour: Is Fake News Really This Rampant These Days?]

[Acquiring a second-hand wife: Am I still asleep? When did lawyers in Dongguk have a say in criminal trials?!]

[Big Brother: Isn't it true that no one else is taking this case, and the only option is legal aid?]

[I am Li Hei: Wait, what do you mean by "among a bunch of lousy legal aid lawyers, one stands out who can go head-to-head with the prosecutor's judge"? Is this still a legal aid lawyer?!]

[Tickling your feet: Secretary, you have three minutes. I need all the information on this defense lawyer!]

【...】

2002 was an era of rampant development of the Internet, with major software companies vying for market share and dividing up traffic.

In the past, the trending topics were mostly gossip about celebrities or entertainment news, but today...

Several apps have suddenly become trending topics due to a single criminal trial case!

That's all.

Those netizens who were bored and about to fall asleep late at night were instantly awakened after just one glance, and sat in front of their computers with shocked expressions.

Immediately afterwards, he kept typing on the keyboard, engaging in lively discussions with others in the comments section, and the popularity was rising at a visible speed.

no way.

This case is mind-blowing no matter how you look at it, especially the lawyer; everyone was completely dumbfounded.

The most popular comment was from a netizen who already felt completely lost.

[I'm not a Muggle: Can someone explain to me... what does it mean when a defense attorney has to fight nine people in a murder case?!]

[I'm not a Muggle: What? He won again! And won decisively!?]

[I'm not a Muggle: What the hell do you mean this is a legal aid lawyer? Are all legal aid lawyers in Green Forest City this good?!]

......

Inside the Jinmao Law Firm.

In the quiet office, where you could hear a pin drop, only the host's voice echoed softly on the screen.

Finally, let us thank these lawyers who quietly uphold professional ethics.

"Next, we'll report another news story... Recently..."

The host's calm voice rang in my ears.

Inside the office.

The three figures were deathly silent, as if they had turned into three stone statues, without making even the slightest movement.

until.......

"Gurgle~"

In a daze, Jin Guzhang, who had been staring intently at the screen, swallowed hard. He came back to his senses, and his eyes immediately showed horror.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Chief Zhang of the Criminal Division beside him.

The other party was also shocked, their face filled with disbelief.

"Innocent...innocent!?"

Section Chief Zhang seemed to have heard something unbelievable, clutching his head with both hands and muttering to himself, looking completely bewildered by life.

He's a veteran in the legal profession.

He naturally knew how difficult the case in Lijia Village was, and it was precisely because he knew this clearly.

That's why we previously speculated that Xu De's victory would mean Wang Qiang would be sentenced to five or three years, or even a suspended sentence if the victory was more decisive.

This is not because he is conservative or looks down on people.

That's just how the judicial environment is; whether a judgment is good or bad depends entirely on the judge's personal attitude.

But he really didn't expect it...

"How can he be innocent!?"

Section Chief Zhang held his head in his hands, racking his brains but still couldn't figure out what had happened.

Putting aside everything else.

Regarding the letter of understanding and settlement agreement reported in the news, he had no idea how Xu De managed to get Li Youcai and Liu Cui to sign them!

"wrong......"

Section Chief Zhang and Section Chief Jin suddenly realized what was happening, put aside their thoughts, and their expressions turned slightly grim.

They're getting angry now too.

Lawyer Xu De, if the other party had stayed in the firm and maintained even half of their previous capabilities, and if he had cultivated good relationships with them, the resources that would have flowed through his fingers in the future would have been more than enough to make him live a life of luxury. But he was driven away by Sun Hao...

Was it Xu De who was angered and left?

It's their future!

If this is the case for me, then what about Director Han, the owner of this law firm...?

The two paused, then subconsciously turned to look at Director Han.

Meanwhile, Director Han...

"Click!"

A crisp sound rang out from his hand; it was the sound of a pen being snapped in two by force.

Director Han's face was extremely pale at this moment, the anger in his eyes seemed to solidify, his chest heaved violently, and his teeth were about to grind to dust.

"Director..." Section Chief Jin swallowed hard.

"Where is Sun Hao?"

Director Han spoke in a deep voice.

"He... is on sick leave." Section Chief Jin twitched the corner of his mouth.

"When will you be off work?"

"Tomorrow morning."

Tomorrow morning, right...?

Director Han's eyes were bloodshot, the veins on his forehead were bulging like earthworms, his face was red, and his expression became increasingly ferocious. He could no longer control his anger.

"Click!"

The broken black pen pierced his palm, and blood mixed with ink flowed out, but he seemed completely oblivious to the pain.

"Tell him to come see me!!"
