The main business of the steel plant comes from smelting, with most of the rest being processing.

And the plant is just like its name, involving nothing but "steel"!

So....

There's really not much arsenic and cadmium!

Liu Kun organized his thoughts and then began to explain slowly:

"The two are not target products of steel production!"

"They are harmful elements associated with raw materials brought by iron ores, coke, and additives."

"And they are mainly discharged into the environment through exhaust gas, wastewater, and solid waste!!!"

With these words.

Everyone understood Liu Kun's meaning at this point.

The people beside Luo Jun glared, staring fiercely at Luo Jun.

Sure enough.

The next moment, Liu Kun spoke:

"Jinyang Steel Plant, in the case where it has very little arsenic and cadmium itself, divides them into three situations."

"Among them, the wastewater content... is definitely not able to reach half of what the opposing lawyer presented!"

Speaking, he reminded again.

"So, the injury to the people of Huangyan Village, Sunzhou..."

"The main factor is not the steel plant, but other chemical plants!"

Upon hearing this.

The people around Luo Jun couldn't hold back.

"Luo Jun, are you going to kick us to the curb!?"

Someone said angrily in a low voice.

Before the trial began, Luo Jun had persuaded them to let Liu Kun be the lawyer.

They hadn't thought much about it, after all, Liu Kun had experience, and the opponent was a very capable lawyer, so it was natural to have him as a defense lawyer.

But now it seems...

This is completely abandoning them while protecting the big steel plant!

The looks of the other plant managers weren't good either, their eyes were gloomy.

Luo Jun, however, snorted disdainfully and glared back.

"Ha, is what he said false!?"

"The steel plant itself doesn't emit large amounts of arsenic and cadmium, yet you don't target the opposition, but blame me instead... Do you want to take on this blame!?"

Upon hearing this.

The faces of the people around immediately changed, and they began to think about how to distance themselves from the situation.

As for the chemical plant that did emit large amounts of arsenic and cadmium, its expression was frighteningly gloomy.

If it had to bear the sole responsibility...

Even bankruptcy couldn't afford the compensation!!!

However, Liu Kun ignored its fate and continued:

"Honorable Judge."

"May I ask, before the trial, did the police provide Sun Jin's autopsy report during the evidence collection period?"

Qian Jianye on the judges' seat pondered for a moment.

Then he nodded.

Before the trial, Ma Hui and his team indeed shamelessly presented the autopsy report to the court.

The case couldn't be suppressed, and it was better to present it directly to speed up the resolution of the pollution case.

Unfortunately, the body disappeared.

After investigating the surveillance, Ma Hui discovered two small thieves, knowing he couldn't recover the body, but at least he had to catch these two people.

Back then, they issued a high-level reward and sent out numerous personnel for investigation and pursuit.

So.

On the surface, the autopsy report provided by the police was Sun Jin's real cause of death!

Even if there were other reports, they were useless.

Why?

Because the body disappeared!

To verify the correctness of your report through cross-examination, without the body, how can the comparison be matched to the autopsy with an existing body and the report provided by the police!?

"It exists."

Qian Jianye paused and said.

"Honorable Judge, I remember, the opposing lawyer's representative, Sun Zhongmin's son Sun Jin died of organ failure."

Liu Kun's heart stirred, and began to employ the prepared fallback plan.

Arsenic and cadmium are typical toxic heavy metals that cause organ failure; both have clear organ toxicity and could progress to organ failure.

Xu Liang's reports all fall into cancer and organ failure categories.

And these two types are exactly associated with arsenic and cadmium.

That is to say. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

As long as he clears the steel plant of association with arsenic and cadmium elements, then...

The responsibility represented by the opposing report can only be directed at other chemical plants, having little effect on Jinyang Steel Plant!

Even for subsequent compensation, the steel plant will pay the least!!!

Almost unintentionally, he showcased a strong ability to handle situations.

Destroying the corpse back then already accomplished two objectives at once, but now, he managed to deploy a third strategy in such a short time indeed...

Smart!

"May I ask, Judge, whether Sun Jin's autopsy report is not much different from the reports of Huangyan Village's villagers!"

Liu Kun ignored the faces of the other chemical plant managers who looked worse than pig's liver.

Standing at the defendant's seat, he surveyed the surroundings and said loudly.

"Our side believes that Jinyang Steel Plant has an irrefutable responsibility."

"But, the responsibility is relatively minor!"

"We are willing to accept the compensation demands of the opposition, yet the payment should be proportional to the share of responsibility!"

This retort made everyone hesitate intuitively.

From the current point of view.

Indeed, it is so.

Compared to the chemical plant, the wastewater discharged by the steel plant is indeed less severe than the former.

So, Huangyan Village...

The root cause should be targeted at other factories?

"Plaintiff, according to the defendant's above statements."

"Do you agree with what the other party said?"

Qian Jianye exchanged a few moments with several judges.

Ultimately, he also found Liu Kun's words reasonable, yet felt something was amiss, hesitated, and then looked toward the plaintiff.

Xu Liang showed a polite smile on his face.

He took a deep breath, stood up, and spoke:

"Honorable Judge, may I ask, during the evidence presentation period, whether the autopsy report provided by the police can be reviewed by my side?"

"Yes."

Qian Jianye simply nodded.

He passed an autopsy report to the clerk, who then handed it to Xu Liang.

Just when everyone thought Xu Liang was going to carefully read the autopsy report...

Xu Liang only glanced at it.

Then, his expression instantly changed.

"Judge, the autopsy report only states that Sun Jin died from organ failure."

"It does not specify that the organ failure was solely caused by arsenic and cadmium!!!"

Since Liu Kun wanted to separate the deceased from the steel plant using arsenic and cadmium...

Then he might as well deliberately confuse the public and obscure the connection between the victim and arsenic and cadmium, forcibly tying the other party!!!

After all, organ failure is not solely caused by arsenic and cadmium.

However...

The defendant's side, Liu Kun suddenly spoke:

"Honorable Judge, I propose to do another autopsy report for Sun Jin and others!"

An...another autopsy report?

This time primarily targeting the main factors causing the symptoms?

If it were a normal case, naturally it could be agreed upon; it would merely waste a few days but make the case more detailed.

However...

This case is different.

The court gave Qian Jianye strict orders, the first pollution case must be closed quickly to give the Sunzhou residents an explanation!

Qian Jianye's expectation is to conclude this trial on the spot.

Not to mention...

"The deceased Sun Jin's body is severely damaged, currently not equipped to perform an autopsy on the main factors of organ failure."

Qian Jianye spoke vaguely.

The body is gone.

He did not anticipate the body to be missing!

Even saying...

There is a high probability that it was stolen by the defendant!

'The defendant stole...he wants the police's autopsy report to be unique, the sole evidence?'

'Is this advantageous for them? If it is solid evidence, there's no reason to damage the body, unless...'

Qian Jianye stiffened, his brows instantly furrowed.

Thinking this way, it almost proves what plaintiff Xu Liang said!

The cause of Sun Jin's organ failure...

There really is an issue!

But unfortunately.

"Now, this trial uses the police-provided clues as evidence." Qian Jianye said helplessly.

Liu Kun showed a smile on his face.

Only one autopsy report exists, and it is extremely advantageous for them, an irrefutable unique copy...

The relationship between the steel plant and arsenic and cadmium...

He cleared himself!

Liu Kun smiled, but as he smiled, he suddenly paused.

Because...

Xu Liang was also smiling.

Xu Liang smiled, using a meaningful gaze to glance at the opponent, then abruptly looked at the audience bench.

In the audience bench, a few people noticed the gaze and nodded.

Immediately.

Xu Liang no longer hesitated, he instantly turned to look at Judge Qian Jianye.

"Honorable Judge, due to some special factors, I request that this trial be transferred from now..."

This case is very special.

The first half of the trial can be said to have given Sunzhou an explanation.

Now the second half...

It's his turn to overturn the table!

Xu Liang's eyes sharpened, he instantly turned to Judge Qian Jianye, and coldly spat out some unexpected words for everyone.

"A private hearing!!!"
