Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 42 - 38: A Case That Makes You Black Out!

"Zhao Yi, resolving the case in court...you did well, you really dare!"

Inside the courthouse, in the office.

Presiding Judge Zhao Yi looked at the furious person in front of him, his brow furrowed.

Vice Presiding Judge Sun Yi glared at Zhao Yi, fuming with anger, pointing at his nose.

"In such a major case, you dare to resolve it in court without the deliberation of a collegiate bench?"

"I ask you, if mistakes occur later, what will you do?"

"I will naturally bear all consequences."

Zhao Yi’s tone deepened as he spoke.

Sun Yi laughed in anger, taking a deep breath as he cursed:

"You will bear it? Can you afford it?!"

"This concerns human life!"

"Sentencing to death at first trial, the other side didn’t adjourn likely thinking this case is a hot potato they want to throw at us..."

This is very irresponsible.

Some places find cases too difficult, time-consuming, thankless, and prone to criticism, so they deliver a heavy sentence at first trial that one side can’t bear, transferring the case to higher courts.

After the second trial, there’s no third trial, and conditions for retrials are stringent, so the second trial is often the final result.

Before sentencing, the second trial’s collegiate bench deliberates constantly, opening and adjourning court until they confirm accuracy to announce punishment.

But Zhao Yi...

"I judged according to the law."

Zhao Yi sighed.

After speaking, he looked up at Vice Presiding Judge Sun Yi, "Chief Judge Sun, do you think there’s still necessity for discussion on this case?"

All information presented by Xu Liang had been verified.

Investigations checked it, police examined it, age and DNA, or mental assessment, all had been checked.

"On the basis that he’s a severely mentally ill 17-year-old, claiming self-defense from a condition outburst."

"What would you sentence him?"

Sun Yi was instantly speechless.

What could he sentence?

Chen Dong had no intention to harm or murder, it could only be penalized as involuntary manslaughter.

But based on the teenager and mental illness...

Even if deliberated by the collegiate bench, the most harsh sentence would be five years.

From death penalty to five years?

This is almost no different than innocence!

And Chen Dong doesn’t meet conditions for a harsher sentence, so Zhao Yi’s sentence is reasonable, the collegiate bench discussion would likely lean towards no criminal liability or probation.

Moreover...

"There are reasons behind this, Chen Jian and Zhu Hong’s situation, I don’t believe you can’t see through it clearly." Zhao Yi suddenly spoke again.

Sun Yi was rendered speechless again.

Indeed, as veteran judges who have presided over many cases, they could naturally see through both parties immediately.

Sun Yi remained silent for a long time before finally standing up.

"Hmph."

"Anyway, the case is decided, if there are issues later, you can bear it yourself."

After saying that, he walked out.

To be honest, although resolving the case in court left him somewhat displeased.

But also made him feel relieved.

The pressure from Chen Dong’s case is immense, if not resolved immediately during the second trial, the repeated adjournments could last at least half a year.

Six months...

Thinking about this.

Sun Yi couldn’t help but exhale heavily, even his steps became lighter.

Until...

"Chief Judge Sun, something’s wrong, someone filed a case!"

Suddenly, in the hallway, a law enforcer ran towards him, panicking, his face showing complete loss.

Sun Yi frowned.

"This is a courthouse, mind your image!"

He shouted sternly.

The law enforcer didn’t hear what he said, nor did he ask, his attitude was anxious and spoke nervously:

"Chief Judge Sun, go quickly, the hall has become a mess!"

"Hurry!!!"

Seeing the urgency on the other’s face, Sun Yi frowned.

"I’ll take a look."

After saying that, Sun Yi headed down.

That attitude...it seems urgent.

But filing a case...what could be urgent about that?

Isn’t it processed by the filing office...

Thinking this, Sun Yi couldn’t help but quicken his pace.

Until...

He reached the first floor, only to find both sides of the corridor already crowded with people.

A sea of heads, looking over you could see nothing but people.

Sun Yi was momentarily shocked, quickly squeezing inside.

"What’s happening!?"

The law enforcers within had turned frantic, as if they found their backbone upon hearing his voice, they hurriedly brought Sun Yi inside.

"Chief Judge Sun...something happened!"

The law enforcer was full of anxiety, pointing towards the hall.

Sun Yi looked in the indicated direction.

In the hall...

A man with bloodshot eyes, full of veins, holding his head with one hand, with a knife in the other against his own neck.

His face was twisted, looking like a madman, trembling all over as he yelled loudly:

"Injustice...I’ve been wronged!"

"I want to file a case, I want to file it now!!!"

At his feet.

Lies a corpse, dressed in ragged clothes, also stained with a pungent smell of soil.

Zhang Tao and others directed the camera at the scene, quickly capturing the footage.

This is...

Carrying a corpse to protest for justice!?

Watching this scene.

Sun Yi felt his mind go blank for a moment, feeling a bit short of breath.

The next second, his vision darkened, and his legs weakened.

The bailiff beside him hurriedly supported him.

Before Sun Yi could regain his composure, he took a deep breath and pointed at Liu Mingbo, squeezing out words through clenched teeth.

"File a case!"

"Have the filing department come over..."

"Have the filing department come over to file a case for him!!!"

...

...

Meanwhile.

Hongfu District Criminal Police Brigade.

"Officer, I’ve said it many times, what could I do if that woman wanted to die herself?"

"And what’s with Chen Qingqing... her promiscuity has nothing to do with my kid!?"

"..."

Inside the interrogation room.

Liu Jin sat across from Chen Jian.

Chen Jian was still smiling, two months have passed, and the pain of losing his son had dissipated; he seemed to be in a good state now.

But Liu Jin’s expression wasn’t good.

In the Chen Cui case...they couldn’t find any evidence pointing to the suspect’s murder!

Only Xu Liang provided a DNA analysis report of Chen Qingqing...

But damn it, this evidence couldn’t implicate Chen Jian, it could only implicate Chen Wei, who had already... been dead for two months!

"Ha, don’t get happy too soon, you don’t know yet, do you."

Liu Jin’s eyes suddenly turned cold, "The verdict was overturned on appeal."

"Chen Dong killed your son and doesn’t have to bear any criminal responsibility!"

"How does that feel?"

No responsibility?

Chen Jian paused, his eyes suddenly widened, staring hard at Liu Jin, his hands clenched into fists.

Does that mean... Chen Wei died for nothing!? And all the money he spent, went down the drain!?

His face turned extremely ugly, almost ashen gray, staring hard at Liu Jin.

Liu Jin smiled, with a sense of satisfaction in his heart, until...

"Officer, I won’t be in the police station forever." Chen Jian suddenly sneered.

"By the way... Chen Hua lives in Hanhai City, right."

What does he mean?

Liu Jin was stunned, the next second, the smile on his face slowly faded, his gaze turning icy cold.

A threat?

"Hehe."

Liu Jin said nothing, got up and walked outside, ending this interrogation.

"Bang!"

The door closed.

Outside, Chen Changchun handed Liu Jin a cigarette.

"How did the interrogation go?"

Liu Jin shook his head and sighed, "Very arrogant, he insists the police can’t find anything, leaving no openings, even threatening back..."

Hearing this, Chen Changchun’s face also didn’t look good.

Unbelievably arrogant!

But unfortunately... the police couldn’t handle him in the short term.

Just as he was about to speak, a sound interrupted him.

"Beep beep beep~"

Chen Changchun pulled out his phone, raising another hand to signal Liu Jin not to speak.

He quickly dialed to communicate, placing the phone near his ear.

The next second, his face instantly changed, stunned.

"Wh...what!?"

"Director Du, are you serious?"

"This happened just now!?"

"Okay okay okay, I’ll keep an eye on Chen Jian, rest assured, I’ll cooperate with the aftermath..."

"Rest assured, rest assured..."

Chen Changchun was in a dumbfounded state until he hung up the phone.

Only when Liu Jin spoke did he regain his senses.

"Boss, what happened?" Liu Jin frowned and asked.

Chen Changchun looked at him blankly, his lips moved briefly but without words, eventually moving his lips.

"Wh...what?" Liu Jin was puzzled.

"I said..."

Chen Changchun took a deep breath.

"Someone carried a corpse to the courthouse and sued in front of dozens of reporters!!!"

Liu Jin was stunned.

The next second...

His pupils contracted, and his whole body suddenly stood on end.

This is...

Carrying a corpse to sue!?
