Director Zhou's heart stopped, his face ashen and bloodless.

"This... how could he have thought of this..."

At this moment, his heart and soul felt like they were being torn apart, plunged into despair.

This evidence, as long as it's verified after adjournment... Duan Feipeng's Pill Book Iron Certificate will be stripped away!

"No... it's not true!"

"He's fabricating, all of this is fake!"

"I was born in 1987, I remember it clearly, it's been written in my records for a long time!!!"

Duan Feipeng became agitated as well.

He knew that the reason he was alive, and even living well, was because of this identity!

Otherwise, he would have been dead seven years ago!!!

It was then he first experienced the thrill of killing, and the secret joy of not getting caught...

It was also for this reason that he dared to commit rape later.

Why?

Because he knew, with the disguise made by Director Zhou, he couldn't possibly be caught!

And as expected, things went as he predicted.

Completely without any responsibility!

This is also why he dared to kill Sixth and another.

He didn't just kill, he tortured them, and it was a sadistically playful torture, like toying with an ant, or a toad.

But if this layer of skin was removed...

He would die!!!

"He's lying!"

Duan Feipeng, visibly agitated, lost all his previous arrogance, and as his voice fell, a spout of saliva flew out.

"Director Zhou, Director Zhou!!!"

He looked over at Director Zhou.

But Director Zhou seemed as though his backbone had been removed, collapsing in weakness, silent, completely ignoring Duan Feipeng.

"Silence, the accused, please calm down!!!"

Zhao Yi spoke up, scolding him.

Unexpectedly, Duan Feipeng was not frightened.

He even showed a sinister smile.

"Forged, all of this is forged!"

"These are fake proofs! How could I be born in '85, I was born in '87, I was born in '87!!!"

He desperately tried to explain.

Though the difference was only two years, or even a year and a half.

But...

It was enough to decide his life and death!

Duan Jianhao couldn't resist either, hurriedly speaking up in support.

"Judge, my son was born on July 12, I can testify to that!"

He spoke in a deep voice.

Even though he wasn't a witness and technically couldn't speak, he couldn't just sit by and watch his son die!

Zhang Li reacted, hurriedly and frantically speaking:

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"That record isn't my child's, they are framing him!"

"The photo in the newspaper isn't me, that's an employee who looks somewhat similar to me, it's a reporting error by the journalist, mistaking someone for..."

Both of them desperately tried to clarify.

But unfortunately, Xu Liang had investigated much more than they had!

"Then may I ask, if Duan Feipeng was really born in 1987, on July 12!"

Xu Liang suddenly, with a stern look, pulled out the "social evidence."

"Then, on November 14, 1985, who was the full moon banquet in the hotel held for?"

Duan Feipeng was born on October 14, 1985.

One month after the birth was November 14.

Duan Jianhao had thrown a rather grand full moon banquet for Duan Feipeng back then.

This was something Xu Liang only got by threatening the hotel with the police.

"I ask you, who was the full moon banquet held for?!"

"Was it for Duan Feipeng, who wasn't even a fertilized egg then?!"

Xu Liang pressed for answers once more.

Duan Jianhao and Zhang Li were momentarily speechless, their expressions turning more and more angered, more and more sinister.

Xu Liang couldn't be bothered, taking out all the other evidence in one go.

"This is the birth record for the accused Duan Feipeng on October 14, 1985!"

"These are the surgical records, on which there's a handwritten signature from Duan Jianhao, along with a fingerprint."

"And this is when Duan Feipeng was at the hospital..."

"..."

Within a month, what had Xu Liang been doing?

Gathering evidence!

Gathering all this evidence!

Every piece of evidence was enough to shock the court.

And here, there were more than ten pieces all laid out!!!

Zhang Li and Duan Feipeng were both dizzy, their lips turning pale.

Duan Feipeng's initial excitement and anger had, by now, turned into fear, and terror!

He knew once this evidence was confirmed, his death was certain!

This wasn't the kind of evidence provided by Director Zhou, but ones that the court only needed to send someone to verify, and it could easily be exposed!

Usually covered up because no one noticed, but now, brought to light by Xu Liang's revelations...

It couldn't be hidden anymore.

"Dad, save me, save me!!!"

Duan Feipeng pleaded to Duan Jianhao in the observer's bench, his face covered in snot and tears, looking utterly miserable.

"I don't want to die!"

"I'll definitely study hard this time. When I get out, I'll learn..."

"What that person said is all false. Save me, you..."

Listening to her son's voice.

Zhang Li felt as if her heart was being torn apart.

"Don't be afraid."

Duan Jianhao said in a deep voice.

He clenched his fist tightly.

He had to get Duan Feipeng out of this; he only had one son, cherished him dearly every day...

How could it be possible to lose him over a case!?

How could it be that just for simply killing two people, he would get the death penalty!?

Duan Jianhao looked viciously, staring hard at Xu Liang.

"Honorable Judge, I request the court verify Duan Feipeng's age and identity!"

"Also, reopen the case of the fall seven years ago, and the rape case committed by Duan Feipeng two years ago!"

"As for the current case..."

As he spoke, Xu Liang paused.

He revealed his ultimate intention.

"It should be based on Duan Feipeng being 19 years old, an adult, at the time of the trial!!!"

Adult...

In an instant.

Everyone, including the judge, felt a jolt in their hearts, utterly shocked.

Nineteen years old!

If based on being 19, how would this case be judged?

Just thinking about it caused an uproar in the courtroom.

"How did this happen... How did the plaintiff hold on so tightly after a recess?!"

"Two solid pieces of evidence... I think I understand, one evidence for conviction, another to demolish the 'Pill Book Iron Certificate', all aimed at executing Duan Feipeng!"

"My mind is a mess... Duan Feipeng was already an adult!? If it's judged like this... it will surely be the death penalty!"

"Nonsense, he murdered two people, showed extreme bad attitude, and nearly escaped the death penalty, by law he must die!"

"..."

Not just at the scene.

In front of the television.

The three lawyers from Chengen Law Firm were already dumbfounded.

"Has he gone mad? Trying to take away the 'Pill Book Iron Certificate'!?"

"I don't know, but I feel there's no difference from being crazy..."

"It's over, I feel Director Zhou is finished..."

In the past when they encountered a case with a 'Pill Book Iron Certificate', they wouldn't bother taking it if the certificate wasn't on their side.

Because no matter what you say, it's useless!

But now, they saw a warrior.

The other party wanted to snatch the certificate and pin it down reasonably!!!

The three were utterly shocked.

Wu Chengjun was no different.

"First strip away the identity?"

At this moment, Wu Chengjun stood up to watch.

He leaned closer to the TV, watching carefully, his face showing a look of shock.

At the same time, a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

"This... this..."

"I never taught that."

Wu Chengjun fell into deep thought.

...

...

In the courtroom.

Zhao Yi had yet to restore order, and the atmosphere grew increasingly chaotic.

"But what if the plaintiff's evidence is fake? If you judge someone under 18 as 19..." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"How could this evidence be fake?!"

"What if there's even a one percent possibility? This is no small matter!"

"Can this judge really withstand it!?"

"..."

The crowd discussed slightly, instantly feeling their scalps tingle.

Indeed.

What if Xu Liang's evidence was fake?

Zhao Yi was also considering this.

His heart tightened as well.

He thought about the complexity and difficulty of judging this case when he took it.

But he never imagined the case could reach this level of complexity!

This case, if judged according to Xu Liang's evidence...

The responsibility he would bear would be significant,

Not to mention the overturn of several cases following this one.

Just the fact that if Duan Feipeng wasn't actually 19, and he sentenced him to death, the result...

Thinking of this.

Zhao Yi's heart tightened, he turned his head to see the other judges were no different from him.

Xu Liang was still pursuing, staring intensely at Zhao Yi with a severe expression, repeating:

"We believe this case should be based on the premise that the defendant Duan Feipeng is 19..."

"To receive punishment!!!"

The two words were deafening.

Zhao Yi felt chilled to the bone.
