Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!

Chapter 117 Court Hearing! [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]

The efficiency of Dongguo's special handling of special cases is extremely fast.

It's normal for a criminal case to drag on for a few months, and this is also for the sake of fairness.

The typical procedure for a criminal case is as follows: the police collect evidence to fill the chain of evidence—the prosecutor's office conducts an inspection, and if any omissions are found, the case is sent back for re-investigation—the court conducts a trial.

The process from sentencing to sentencing could drag on for a year or two!

Some cases are even more outrageous.

For example, if a person on trial commits a minor crime and only needs to serve two years in prison, but is detained beyond the legal time limit during the trial, it may take three or four years.
But special cases are handled differently.

Wang Hai's actions were far more serious than the major poisoning case in his previous life, and he did everything he was capable of!

and so.

It was only a week after Xu Liang was notified.

Wang Hai was taken to court!

11 month 24 day.

at noon.

Inside the Hongfu Street Law Firm.

Standing in front of the mirror, Yang Ruoxi helped Xu Liang straighten his suit.

Feeling the warmth and aura emanating from the other person, Yang Ruoxi's heart beat slightly faster.

She reached out and straightened Xu Liang's tie at his chest.

In an instant, fingertips touched Xu Liang's taut chest muscles beneath his thin shirt, the sensation like an electric current coursing through his heart.

"It's so itchy."

Xu Liang looked at Yang Ruoxi, who was half a head shorter than him and was straightening her clothes.

"By the way, are all law firm assistants supposed to be able to personally adjust their boss's clothes?"

He spoke with suspicion.

The other person's movements made his chest itch, which felt very strange.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi raised her face and looked at him seriously, saying:

"That's right!"

"Court hearings are very serious, so one's attire cannot be careless!"

Xu Liang was a little confused, but since it was his first time being a boss, he didn't argue and just let the other person adjust his chest.

Not long after.

He then felt the soft hand on his chest leave.

"Let's go, or we'll be late."

Yang Ruoxi offered a reminder.

Upon hearing this, Xu Liang subconsciously looked up at the time.

It's already 12:17, and the Wang Hai case is scheduled to start at 1:30.

It's only because this place is close to the courthouse that I might not have been able to make it.

"Let's go."

Xu Liang nodded, reviewed the documents again to make sure there were no omissions, and then left the law firm with the other party.

After closing the gate tightly, Xu Liang got into the driver's seat and waited for the other person to sit in the passenger seat before stepping on the gas and leaving.

"Om~!"

The engine began to tremble, and the fuel pump kept drawing fuel from the tank.

The four wheels sped toward the location of the Intermediate People's Court of Hanhai City!

Yang Ruoxi looked at the continuously decreasing fuel level on the fuel gauge, and a look of heartache appeared on her face.

This is a terrible class.
The boss has been taking advantage of her for months, and now not only is she not getting paid, she even has to pay for her own gas!

However, she didn't dwell on it for long, because
We've arrived.

"squeak!"

With a screech of brakes, Xu Liang brought the car to a steady stop within the parking lines.

The two glanced at the time, packed up their documents, and quickly headed into the courthouse.

Xu Liang has visited the Intermediate People's Court of Hanhai City quite a few times.

Without needing anyone to guide them, the two found the waiting room with ease. Xu Liang stood at the door of the waiting room, placed his hand on the doorknob, and then gently pressed down.

"Squeak~"

The door opened.

Since he was a witness for the prosecution, the waiting room was generally occupied by people from the prosecution, such as prosecutors and family members of the victims.

However, the people in this waiting room right now
There are a few tiny differences.

Xu Liang was stunned when he saw the people inside.

Inside the room, a large group of people turned their heads toward the door upon hearing the noise, and their eyes met Xu Liang's.

Among these people were those wearing administrative jackets with the national emblem pinned to their chests.

There were also elderly people wearing suits and gold-rimmed glasses, but most of them were middle-aged people in their forties.

Looking around, there were at least a dozen people!
And their identities are
"The one in police uniform is Zhao Ge from the Public Security Bureau; the one in the administrative jacket is from the provincial level; the one in the navy blue suit is from the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the Supreme People's Court; and the one in the navy blue business suit is from the judiciary."

Xu Liang swallowed hard and stared directly into the dozen or so pairs of eyes in front of him.

He felt as if a giant mountain was pressing down on his shoulders.
Good guy.

A cursory glance revealed that the prosecutors at the municipal procuratorate, who were usually difficult to meet, were now the lowest-ranking officials.
This was the first time in Xu Liang's life that a case could attract so many important figures!
until
"Teacher Su!"

Xu Liang's eyes lit up in a daze, and as he walked in, he said:
"Teacher Su, what are you doing here?"

Among the crowd was Su Guo from the special task force, who was chatting with the people around him.

Hearing the noise, he turned around and raised his eyebrows.

"coming?"

Xu Liang nodded. "Here I am."

Upon realizing that Xu Liang was one of their own, most people looked away, leaving only a few curious gazes that continued to scrutinize him.

After all, you couldn't find a single person under forty in the whole room.

The sudden appearance of a young man in his early twenties is bound to arouse curiosity.

"Your student?"

Someone nearby looked at Su Guo with curiosity.

“I’d say he’s half a student,” Su Guo said. “You all know his teacher, Wu Chengjun.”

Upon hearing this, the people around him exclaimed in surprise, looking Xu Liang up and down, and said in astonishment:

"Old Su, you still have students? What kind of promising talents could catch your eye?"

Su Guo smiled and pointed at Xu Liang, saying, "His surname is Xu. Guess who he is?"

Xu Liang! ?
He's the only witness in the case!?

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the other person as if they were looking at a rare treasure, scanning them up and down.

Although they knew Xu Liang, this was the first time they had ever met him.

Xu Liang felt uneasy under their gaze.

"Hello teachers, I'm a lawyer and also a witness in this case." Xu Liang gave a shy smile.

Upon hearing this, the people around relaxed and chuckled:
"When I first heard Director Du say that he was investigating evidence in private, I thought he was a shrew. But now it seems he's just a shy young man."

"Excellent, young and energetic!"

"Indeed, if it weren't for the fact that I have too many students to deal with, I would definitely compete with Lao Wu for it!"

A cheerful laugh rang out.

Hearing these words of praise, Xu Liang felt extremely uncomfortable.

Q: What could be more nerve-wracking than being blocked at the door by a busload of people from the Supreme People's Procuratorate when you're a litigious lawyer?

Xu Liang didn't know that before.

But now he knows.

That means being blocked at the gate simultaneously by the Public Security Bureau, the Judicial Bureau, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Supreme People's Court, the Supervisory Commission, and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection!
"Clap!"

A middle-aged man, who was also a member of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, patted Xu Liang on the shoulder.

He said with a smile:
"Young man, you're so young, don't go astray."

"I've heard that there are quite a few litigious people in Hanhai City. These people will stop at nothing to win a case!"

"Now even the local procuratorate has started to react. Sigh, it's really difficult for us people."

"Young man, don't you think so?"

Xu Liang:
This is a threat.
This must be a threat!

"You're absolutely right, my teacher thinks the same way. The entire sect, from top to bottom, hates litigators the most!" Xu Liang said, feeling ashamed.

"That's good."

The other party looked at Xu Liang meaningfully.

While Xu Liang was still anxiously pondering how to avoid revealing his identity as a lawyer,

Suddenly, a broadcast announcement rang out.

"Prosecutor! Please enter the courtroom to await trial!"

A dignified voice, symbolizing the judge's authority, rang out, rescuing Xu Liang from his dire situation.

"Let's go, it's time to close this case."

someone said.

Everyone nodded and stood up.

They were not all prosecutors.

The supervisory team members are only there to observe the proceedings. Once inside the courtroom, they will sit in the audience, not on the sidelines of the prosecution and the defendant.

Upon seeing this, Xu Liang quickly got up and walked outside.

However, he did not go to the court hearing with the crowd.

Instead, following the directions of the bailiffs, they went to the witness waiting room.

During the trial, witnesses are not allowed to appear in the audience, and this also applies when the trial has begun but before they have entered the courtroom.

The witness must remain in a place where only he and the bailiff are present, and must not be disturbed by anyone else!

"Squeak~"

Pushing open the door to the waiting room for witnesses, I saw that the interior layout resembled a lounge.

Xu Liang let out a breath.

"Next, all we need to do is wait."

"The judge has summoned you!"

Meanwhile, at the court hearing.

About three or four prosecutors entered the scene, sat in the prosecutor's seat, and calmly organized the documents.

But their stiff hands revealed the absolute tension in their hearts.

And the defendant's seat
With a bitter expression, Qian Li appeared at his seat, holding a small amount of documents and reports.

That's right.

Qian Li is Wang Hai's lawyer. At this moment, he appears in the dock as the defense attorney, and the document in his hand, which has very few words printed on it, is his defense material.

To be honest, Qian Li wants to slap himself twice right now.

No.

Or rather, slap yourself twice across the face from half a month ago!
It will make you greedy!

It makes you want to stand out from the crowd!

Serves him right, he fucking deserves it!

As for why he wanted to slap himself...
Think of this.

Qian Li couldn't help but glance at the people in the audience, and his eyes twitched involuntarily.

'I recognize the police superintendent in the white uniform and the one in the navy blue suit; I've seen him at the Upper City Department of Justice, and...'

As he watched one person after another gather in the audience, Qian Li felt increasingly suffocated.

These people, any one of them could just stomp their feet and...
The entire city of Hanhai will tremble!
But now, more than ten people have gathered together to listen to a hearing for the same case.
The key is.

These people seem to be my rivals?

A bunch of people from the city center, are they a match for me, a lawyer from a small law firm who's only graduated a few years ago?!

Qian Li felt a deep sense of despair and intense suffocation.

He hit these people?
Are you serious?

Manager Sun's mother must be crazy!!!

Qian Li was internally ranting and raving.

of course.

The same applies to the trial bench.

Looking at the boss of his boss's boss's boss.

In this case, Judge Zhao Yi, with a sullen face, stubbornly sat in that chair that felt like it was being pricked by needles.

That's right.

Zhao Yi will still be the judge in this case!
As for why.
The reason is that he got promoted.
