Who Made Him a Lawyer?

The Middle Court judge heard and quickly said:

“Judge Zhao, this is a public prosecution case initiated by the prosecutor’s office based on information from the police investigation.”

“I have already confirmed before coming here that the information is absolutely real and objective.”

“The reason for coming to the Supreme Court…”

“…is still to seek guidance from the Supreme Court judges to handle this case.”

The nature of the case is murder, so it can only be handled by the Middle Court.

But the case content is so shocking, no one in the Middle Court dared to take the role of presiding judge, so they had to come to the Supreme Court.

Upon hearing this.

Zhao Yi froze in his chair, his mind engulfed in a storm of thoughts.

Xu Liang committed murder? And it’s a serious crime involving gun violence!?

“Good, good! This rogue lawyer has finally fallen into my hands!”

Zhao Yi suddenly smiled broadly, the look of satisfaction spread across his face as he clenched his fists, appearing somewhat excited.

Two years.

A full two years!

Do you know how he spent these two years!?

He just wanted to stay in Hanhai City’s Middle Court, serve as a regular judge, build up his experience, and then retire to play with his grandchildren.

Until June 2004, a devil-like lawyer appeared in Hanhai City.

From that moment, the world seemed filled with malice toward him, and life transformed from a simple mode to ‘difficult’!

Even every case he presided over could be called hell.

Rogue lawyer!

The lawyer’s tactics could indeed be called roguish; the evidence presented, from start to finish, left Zhao Yi unable to find the legal validity.

But he couldn’t pretend he hadn’t seen this evidence, so he could only pinch his nose and accept it…

If it happened once or twice, it would be okay.

But the opponent seemed addicted to this behavior, doing it every time!

Zhao Yi felt like Xu Liang was challenging him!

But looking at the situation now…

“Hahaha, strolling by the river always leaves one’s shoes wet, and this guy has finally fallen into the water!”

Zhao Yi looked at the file in his hand, laughing with unbridled satisfaction, as if releasing the grievances of the past two years through laughter.

But immediately after…

Zhao Yi’s expression stiffened, his brows furrowed, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

“I’ll take a closer look.”

He took the information file, carefully flipping through it, furrowing his brows into a knot, and fell into contemplation.

To be honest.

Although the other party always provoked me, and his tactics were skirting the edge of the law.

But the problem is…

The other party is not truly a ‘rogue lawyer’; indeed, he could be considered ‘chaotic good.’

This is much, much better than those who are complacent, and he has truly accomplished significant things.

If such a person were wrongfully condemned to the death penalty… Zhao Yi could never agree!

“What are the specific identity details of the victim?”

“Where is the main information regarding the case?”

Zhao Yi looked for a long time, eventually identifying a few issues.

The file only mentioned Xu Liang murdering at a specific time and place, but the victim’s identity and the causes and effects were woefully lacking!

Even though it has the endorsement of the police and prosecutor’s office.

But in any case, it somewhat does not align with the qualities for filing a case!

“We… contacted the police and the prosecutor’s office, and the information from them is… it must be kept confidential for now.”

The Middle Court’s chief judge hesitantly replied, “However, the confidentiality will not last long.”

“Currently, the prosecutor’s office is conducting an investigation, and the confidentiality period should be until before the trial.”

The matters concerning Noah are too sensitive.

Especially regarding the people involved.

Before a thorough investigation, the police will not release the news.

Why?

Because aside from Donnie, there are also people from the Eastern Country involved!

If these people learn that Noah has been investigated, they will certainly realize that their exposure is only a matter of time.

If you were one of these people, what would you do?

One hundred percent flee!

Where would you flee to? It could only be overseas!

And the identities of these people are either wealthy or noble, so escaping would not be done alone; they would surely take all their assets with them, and then…

The so-called ‘capital flight’ would occur, which would be extremely painful for the Eastern Country, currently in rapid development and eagerly seeking commercial prosperity.

One or two can be watched, but if they all flee like a swarm, there will certainly be a few who slip through the cracks and leave.

“Looking at things now… the case should be genuine.”

The Middle Court’s chief judge spoke worriedly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi fell into silence.

From his perspective, killing 23 people… no matter who, it would be hard to escape death.

If the case is real, doesn’t it mean Xu Liang can’t escape this rule either?

“Wait a moment.”

In a daze.

Zhao Yi took a deep breath and walked heavily to a secluded corner.

After privately checking and confirming no one was around, he took out his phone and dialed a series of numbers.

“Beep beep beep~”

The dialing sound echoed, and before long, a familiar voice emerged beside him.

“Hello?”

The voice was somewhat old and weary, yet it revealed a sense of solemnity.

“Chief Judge Wang, a lower court has reported a case to the Supreme Court. I took a look and found that this case…”

Zhao Yi didn’t hesitate and immediately began to report.

The person on the other end of the line was Wang Yao!

Why call him?

According to the channels Zhao Yi was aware of, a judicial notice was issued by the Bureau recently.

The notice seemed normal, innocuous, but it happened to target Xu Liang’s law firm.

This clearly indicated that Xu Liang had likely offended someone. After paying a bit of attention, Zhao Yi learned that Zhao De, Wang Yao, and others seemed to have taken some actions.

Combined with the current case…

He guessed that the two might have an inseparable relationship!

However, before Zhao Yi could finish speaking…

“It’s Xu Liang’s, right?”

On the other end of the call, Wang Yao suddenly interrupted him, his tone carrying a hint of seriousness.

Zhao Yi paused and then softly replied, “That’s correct.”

“What is the situation with his case?”

“You shouldn’t worry about this matter for now. The court is currently discussing it, and I’ll notify you of any results later.”

Wang Yao sounded a bit weary.

Upon hearing this.

Zhao Yi couldn’t say much else, hesitated for a moment, then sighed and responded deeply.

“Alright.”

He trusted Xu Liang’s character, as well as Wang Yao’s.

Since Wang Yao was aware before him, it only indicated that the case was indeed more complicated than it seemed on the surface.

“You should continue with your work, just follow the case procedure.”

Wang Yao replied briefly and then hung up the phone.

“Beep beep beep~”

Looking at the disconnected phone in his hand, Zhao Yi’s lips trembled.

In the end, he shook his head, slipped the phone back into his pocket, and turned to look at the Middle Court’s president.

“Just follow the case procedure,” Zhao Yi said.

The Middle Court’s president also breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and nodded.

…

Meanwhile.

In the Supreme Court.

After Wang Yao hung up the phone, a voice entered his ears.

“23 people… That’s a bit difficult. From the information provided by the police, multiple pieces of evidence clearly indicate deliberate suspicion.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Yao’s face darkened, and he turned to a middle-aged woman and said:

“Ha, if it wasn’t deliberate, he would be dead.”

“In legal terms, this can only be called self-defense!”

The woman judge’s face also darkened upon hearing this, taking a deep breath.

She glanced around.

This wasn’t a meeting room but a private office… Zhao De’s office!

The number of people present wasn’t many, counting Zhao De, there were only four, all insiders.

And Zhao De, sitting in the main seat, remained silent with a calm expression, no one could tell what he was thinking.

A long time passed.

Someone tried to break the tension.

“Let’s not talk about intentionality for now.”

“How does everyone view Zhuge Rong’s influence?”

Upon mentioning those three words, the few present at the scene were speechless.

Though Zhuge Rong didn’t say anything explicitly, Wang Yao understood what it meant.

Xu Liang’s case was very challenging.

If one wants to handle it fairly… the case information contains many ambiguous actions with suspected intentions that could cost him his life!

If the judges’ subjectivity and Xu Liang exceed expectations, they could indeed compete against it.

But…..

If Zhuge Rong’s blood relatives get involved, things could become very bad!

“What’s the current situation over there?”

The previous middle-aged woman judge asked sternly.

“What is their attitude?”

At the office position, Zhao De shook his head slightly.

He didn’t know.

Recently, he, Wang Hai, and others had repeatedly probed, but the other party seemed like a turtle, showing no reaction, causing deep anxiety.

Right at this moment…

“Beep beep beep~”

Suddenly, a phone rang out.

Wang Yao’s expression changed slightly, and he walked towards a corner.

“I’ll take a call.”

A moment later.

His expression changed as he hung up and returned, bringing bad news.

Only to see Wang Yao’s face looking grim, and his tone was low as he spoke:

“Just now, someone submitted clear criminal information about Xu Liang to the court!”
