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

Chapter 239 The Day of the Court Hearing! [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]

"This group is very famous in Qingshi City, and has a good reputation. Many people have benefited from the group's kindness."

"We conduct free physical examinations almost every year in rural areas, providing free medical services to children under 15 or seniors over 60."

"At the same time, the development of pharmaceuticals in Qingshi City is also inextricably linked to Juxing Group."

"The Juxing Group's drug development speed is very fast, and the efficacy is stable. Although the price is not cheap, it can at least keep people alive."

"They've gained considerable influence in Arashiyama Province in just a few days; otherwise, they wouldn't be qualified to sell imatinib."

"."

After saying that.

Thoughts occasionally flashed across Xu Liang's eyes.

Judging from Feng Nan's words, the strength of Juxing Pharmaceutical Group should not be underestimated, and it also enjoys doing charity work.

Everyone in Qingshi City, big and small, has received kindness from the other party!
This is why Chai Shirong dares to guide public opinion; after all, even if he doesn't use it, public opinion will still lean towards Juxing Pharmaceutical Group!

"what happened?"

Feng Nan looked puzzled.

"Is there a problem?"

Xu Liang snapped out of his daze, shook his head, and didn't press the matter further.

Seeing this, Feng Nan paused, a look of hesitation on her face. After a long while, she suddenly asked again:
"What if there are traitors in that mutual aid society?"

She was terrified that her personal greed would lead to the deaths of all 72 people!
only.
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious."

Xu Liang gently comforted him.

Feng Nan hesitated, wanting to say something more, but seeing the thoughtful look in the other person's eyes, she ultimately swallowed her words.

After asking the question, Xu Liang leaned closer to Su Yu and Yang Ruoxi, thought for a moment, and then said:

"Go and check what activities Juxing Pharmaceutical Group has been carrying out in recent years."

After he finished speaking, the two women looked surprised.

"You suspect the pharmaceutical company is behind this?!"

Xu Liang said calmly, "It's just a suspicion; there's no substantial evidence at the moment."

Upon hearing this, the two hesitated for a moment, but after thinking for a long time, they nodded and agreed.

As for what Xu Liang is going to do...
He recalled Wu Fangkongjian and then took a deep breath.

Again.

The first trial is imminent!
He must find a way to delay the trial!
Thinking of this, a glint of light flashed in Xu Liang's eyes.

"Defense in the first instance."

"I'll take care of it all myself!"

4 month 24 number.

There are 8 days left until the first trial.

Xu Liang confirmed that none of the three individuals—Li Ye, Wu Fang, and Kong Jian—had made any clear bank transfers or deposited any money in the bank.

It was also learned that the three individuals did not engage in any transactions to profit from the drugs.
It's less about selling and more about buying on behalf of others!

Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.

4 month 26 day.

There are six days left until the first trial.

Blue Shield Law Firm launched a fierce attack on Zhao Hailong's case.

Dong Jianbao, along with Chen Liang, began to take a different approach, defending Zhao Hailong and Cheng Jia as innocent, claiming that the two were just lawyers and did not know the inside story of the case!
Xu Liang saw through the other party's intentions, hoping to exhaust him with old cases!
He instructed Wang Feiyu to leak the information to Zhang Yong and Zhang An, causing them to fight amongst themselves.

4 month 29 number.

The first trial is scheduled to begin in three days.

The public pressure surrounding the case was channeled by the Blue Shield Law Firm, and a wave of crackdowns on counterfeit drugs suddenly swept through Qingshi City!

Juxing Pharmaceutical Group seized the opportunity to offer a wave of benefits, making everyone extremely grateful!

The public outcry against Kong Jian, Feng Nan, and others is becoming increasingly exaggerated.
the same day.

Two envelopes sent from Shangcheng to Qingshi City arrived in Xu Liang's hands.

Upon opening the envelope, two original manuscript documents were revealed!

Wu Chengjun sensed something was amiss, but upon closer inspection, it seemed there was nothing wrong with it.

5 month 1 day.

There are only a few days left before the court hearing.
one day!
Blue Shield Law Firm held another press conference.

At the press conference, Chai Shirong's words seemed to possess a magical power, captivating everyone with their enticing pronouncements.

"Attorney Chai, based on what we know so far, the drug smuggled by the defendant is imatinib, which is currently only distributed and sold domestically by Juxing Pharmaceutical Group. What is Juxing Pharmaceutical Group's view on the other party?"

In front of Blue Shield Law Firm.

Several excited reporters handed microphones to Chai Shirong and began asking questions.

Seeing this, Chai Shirong smiled, cleared his throat, and said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, if smuggled drugs can save lives, our client, Superstar Group, is willing to withdraw this lawsuit."

Cancelled?

Suddenly, everyone in the room froze, their eyes wide with astonishment.

But the next second.
Suddenly, Chai Shirong changed the subject and said:

"but!"

"The drugs smuggled by the other party do not possess the most basic therapeutic effects that medicines should have!"

"They even say this is harming people! Causing innocent people to die!"

As he spoke, Chai Shirong spoke in a low voice.

"Currently, only one pharmaceutical company in the world is qualified to produce and sell imatinib, which means the drug is monopolized!"

"The fact that the defendants, including Kong Jian, smuggled counterfeit drugs into Qingshi City is highly likely to discourage pharmaceutical companies and sever imatinib's cooperation with Dongguo!"

Chai Shirong paused, then sighed with a hint of sadness in his voice:

"This will directly cause tens of thousands of people in the East to lose their access to medicine and their chance to live because of the defendant."

"This is something Blue Shield Law Firm absolutely did not want to see!"

While talking.

An aura of 'savior' emanated from everyone around them.

Some people were very excited. Among the reporters, a reporter named Wang Hao pushed his way forward, looked excitedly at Chai Shirong, and said:

"Attorney Chai, what is your opinion on the defense attorney, Xu Liang, in this case?"

Hear the words.

The crowd paused for a moment, then erupted into a commotion.

The defense lawyer is Xu Liang!?

The name Xu Liang is familiar to almost every reporter in Lanshan Province.

The case of a body found lying in the Jinjiang Hotel in Hanhai City!

Sunzhou Steel Case!
Even the Jiangcheng Qi Yu case!

These three major heinous cases kept all the reporters working day and night until their pens were worn out; how could they possibly forget the names of the perpetrators!
But then a problem arises.
"Xu Liang? Xu Liang is the defense lawyer in this case? I haven't followed him yet."

"Is that Xu Liang from Hanhai City?! Isn't he a lawyer with a conscience? I remember he was the one who exposed Sun Zhou's case in Jiangcheng!"

"He's in Qing Shi City?! I didn't even know!!!"

"Wait, Xu Liang is a defense lawyer? He's defending those people who smuggle counterfeit drugs!?"

"This"

As the saying goes, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow.

The legal profession hates Xu Liang to death.

Even just hearing the name Xu Liang would subconsciously bring an ordinary person back to their senses from that frenzied state.

A cacophony of noise erupted in an instant, and the crowd began to discuss the matter.

Chai Shirong remained expressionless for a long time before finally revealing a smile.

He took a deep breath and said:

"Attorney Xu is an extremely capable lawyer."

He first offered a word of praise, but then...
"but!"

"As a lawyer, I believe professional ethics are more important!"

Hear the words.

Wang Hao, standing in the crowd, suddenly brightened up and eagerly asked:

"Attorney Chai, do you believe that the opposing counsel's professional ethics are unethical and detrimental to the legal profession?"

As he spoke, his breathing quickened, and his eyes were filled with anticipation!

He was a reporter from Hanhai City, and should have been protecting the lawyers from Hanhai City.

Can.
At this moment, he seemed to want everyone to condemn Xu Liang!
Chai Shirong smiled, but said:
"I can only guarantee that none of the lawyers at Blue Shield Law Firm will violate any law!"

"At the same time, we will resolutely safeguard the health interests of Qingshi City residents!"

Was the plaintiff protecting the health interests of residents?

So the defendant is committing an assault?

In an instant, a reporter in the crowd had a bright idea, as if he had found the perfect material to publish, and his face lit up with joy!
Then a series of 'click' sounds rang out!

Countless flashes illuminated Chai Shirong!
this moment.

Chai Shirong seemed to have transformed into the savior of Qingshi City once again!

Time flew by, and before we knew it, the press conference was over.
May 5st!
That is, the day of the first-instance defense hearing for the Qingshi City counterfeit drug case!

It's half past nine in the morning.

"Heh, these people are really bad at insulting me."

Inside the hospital, Xu Liang sat on a public chair, looking at the newspaper in his hand with a hint of disdain on his face.

The newspaper was now prominently displaying a series of headlines.

Is it morality or immorality? A former beacon of morality is now defending smugglers for money!

[On the eve of the first trial! Blue Shield Law Firm declares: We will fight against organized crime to the end!]

[GiantStar Pharmaceuticals Group issued an important statement: The manufacturer of imatinib was discussing withdrawing from the Dongguo market due to the counterfeit drug case in Qingshi City, but the group made every effort to retain it.]

[Fake drugs are killing people! Twenty boxes of fake drugs, containing tens of thousands of deadly pills, have now been given a defender!]

[Objective Discussion: Why are medicines so expensive? Why should we maintain the use of genuine drugs?]

【.】

A newspaper was filled with headlines related to the fake drug case!
Even around the hospital, the noisy discussions were mixed with conversations about the case.

Chai Shirong is indeed a master at manipulating public opinion.

just
"Blue Shield Law Firm, right?"

Looking at the photo of Chai Shirong's impassioned declaration in the newspaper, Xu Liang narrowed his eyes.

The other party has been entrenched in Qingshi City for many years, which also means they have a lot of leverage over them!

"Heh, you'd better win this case in one go!"

"If only we had a little time to catch our breath"

As he spoke, Xu Liang paused, recalling some clues he had gathered during his investigation of the Juxing Pharmaceutical Group over the past two days, a hint of gloom creeping into his eyes.

Just give him a little more breathing room.
The balance of power will inevitably shift!

Defendant? Defense attorney?
It's not impossible to turn a passive situation into an active one!

just
"Who is this reporter named Wang Hao? I've seen several articles attacking you."

At some point, Yang Ruoxi, along with Feng Nan and several trusted members of the mutual aid society, walked up to Xu Liang. She frowned as she looked at the newspaper.

"Do you have a grudge against him?"

Xu Liang shook his head.

There's this guy in the newspaper who likes to smear himself, named Wang Hao. Several newspapers wrote countless articles overnight criticizing him for being disloyal and hypocritical.

They even went so far as to deviate from the fake drug case in their attack, bringing up several previous cases, seemingly intending to overturn the verdict against Liu Kun and his associates.
"Just a lackey."

Xu Liang stood up, spoke calmly, glanced at the person in front of him, and said:

Now that everyone is here

Whether we get a chance to catch our breath depends entirely on today's court hearing!
Think of this.

Xu Liang subconsciously gripped the documents in his hand concerning 'emergency avoidance' and 'endangering social security'.

"Then let's go."

"To court!"
