Is this what a zombie is?
31. Lost Innocence
"One or two people die every month, and it's been stable for the past seven years."
Jiang Chen's eyes instantly became incredibly sharp.
"In other words, this sorcerer has been lying low in Blackrock Prison for at least seven years."
The original massive number of over three thousand people was instantly dissected and analyzed by Jiang Chen with just a few simple sentences.
The pool of suspects was drastically narrowed down to just over three hundred people.
"This kid, there are still so many surprises I don't know about him. He can even solve cases, and he seems to be quite good at it."
Cat Master couldn't help but sigh.
"I once considered becoming a forensic pathologist."
Jiang Chen continued to look through the autopsy photos while responding calmly.
Why?
"Because forensic doctors only need to deal with corpses, which is much simpler than dealing with people."
"It doesn't require much flattery or concern for social niceties. Most importantly, there will be fewer disputes involving medical staff."
"So I've also dabbled in crime investigation and psychology, which aren't actually that difficult."
Cat remained silent. Very well, he'd fooled him again.
However, it's not really an act. Many things that seem impossible to ordinary people, things that they can't accomplish even with all their might, are just easy trifles for a genius.
Just like, even if someone is not very smart, can they still not learn calculus?
That's all the information we can gather.
The sorcerer himself did it three or four years ago, so if there were more information and preserved evidence...
If there are even a few more clues, Jiang Chen can try to narrow down the scope further.
But now he was like a skilled cook without rice to cook, so he turned the file over to the blind lawyer.
The blind lawyer's surname is Luo, and his file includes a black and white photograph.
In the photo, he looks to be in his early thirties, with clear eyes, a kind smile, and an air of scholarly refinement.
Jiang Chen opened the file. The first page contained Luo Bin's resume.
He graduated from a prestigious law school and passed the bar exam with the highest score.
If nothing unexpected happens, his future is naturally bright.
But now he's in prison, and he's gone blind.
Attorney Luo's life is inspiring. After graduation, he declined offers from well-known law firms and instead provided legal aid to the poor who had nowhere else to turn and couldn't afford a lawyer, as well as to ordinary people who didn't understand that the law was a weapon.
Often, he only receives a token amount of payment, and his work is entirely free and charitable.
Therefore, he became a light for many people, illuminating their future.
"City of Light: A Chronicle of Young Lawyer Luo Bin's Public Service Journey"
"Using the weapon of law to give voice to the underprivileged."
He is our last hope.
Each report silently recounts his past glory.
But this ray of light is now in prison, surrounded by either hardened criminals or vicious thugs.
Jiang Chen flipped directly to the last page, which recorded how this light had fallen.
The incident stemmed from a case of violent forced demolition.
An old residential area on the outskirts of the city has caught the eye of a powerful developer who plans to demolish and rebuild it into a high-end residential area.
Most residents chose to move away after receiving the compensation.
Only one household remained, refusing to move, becoming the last holdout.
And what happened next was predictable.
One night, a gas explosion occurred in the family, burying all eight members under the rubble.
Four elderly people, a wife, and two children lost their lives.
Only the male homeowner survived after being rescued, and the first thing he did upon regaining consciousness was to file a lawsuit.
Attorney Luo took the initiative to accept the case and became the male homeowner's lawyer.
During the nearly year-long lawsuit, Attorney Luo endured immense pressure from the developer, countless threats, and tirelessly worked day and night to collect evidence.
He prepared over three hundred pages of legal documents, vowing to seek justice for the deceased and send those beasts who disregarded human life to prison.
He firmly believes that the law will give them a fair trial.
Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent.
However, on the very day the trial began...
In court, his client, without consulting him, chose to withdraw the lawsuit in front of everyone.
Because the developer gave him a huge sum of compensation.
There is only one request: withdraw the lawsuit.
For the client, withdrawing the lawsuit might have been a choice made after weighing the pros and cons, but for Attorney Luo, it was a collapse of faith.
Everything he upheld, the countless days and nights he spent working tirelessly, the pressure he withstood the threat of death, and the unwavering justice he held in his heart.
The moment the client withdrew the lawsuit, everything became a joke; everything he had was negated and rendered meaningless.
Attorney Luo stood at the entrance of the courthouse, staring at the court's emblem, for the entire afternoon.
No one knows what he was thinking at the time.
All I know is that it happened that night.
A massacre unfolded in the underground parking garage of a luxury club where the developers and demolition team leaders were celebrating wildly.
Attorney Luo single-handedly slaughtered more than twenty people present, and the moment the police arrived, he gouged out his own eyes.
He personally ended the light in his eyes and bid farewell to this world where black and white were indistinguishable.
He pleaded guilty, waived all his rights to defense, and was ultimately sentenced to life imprisonment and sent to Blackstone Prison.
He has now been in prison for three years.
Jiang Chen closed the file and remained silent for a long time.
"Kind and persistent, but a little too naive."
He gave his assessment in a low voice.
But deep within his eyes, a subtle, complex emotion was revealed.
Looking at the spirited young man in the photo, he seemed to see his former self.
At that time, he also had beautiful expectations for the world.
Before he met Ai Yi, he also believed that hard work would pay off, naively thinking that the world was black and white.
That innocence is beautiful.
But now, relying on the Resurrection Incense to prolong his life, he has stepped into a bizarre and mysterious world.
In this world, he is more likely to come into contact with the dark side of society, a more direct and cruel side.
He can no longer turn back.
And that innocence can never be retrieved.
"Warden, I need to see him. When would be a convenient time?"
"Attorney Luo's situation is quite special. He has his own private cell, and we don't allow him to participate in exercise time anymore, so you can see him anytime you want."
"Why not let him get some fresh air?"
The warden pointed to his forehead and said, "His mental state is very problematic. He kept saying things like he could see sin values."
