Death... Death penalty!!!

The verdict is...

Everyone was stunned, then incredibly excited inside.

The verdict is real!!!

Du Ze, death penalty; Duan Feipeng, death penalty!!!

Even Director Zhou, Zhang Li, and Duan Jianhao are facing scrutiny at the police station, soon to be taken to court!

The first trial...

A complete victory!!!

As the judges left, the emotions of everyone gradually rose to a high pitch, feeling unable to contain their power.

They were only here to live stream and gain some traffic.

Yet they were utterly captivated by the scene!

Now they couldn't hold back anymore, and regardless of whether they knew each other, they couldn't help but start exchanging words of relief and excitement with anyone they saw.

"Damn, that lawyer is tough!!!"

"Initially, when they said Duan Feipeng had an alibi, I thought it'd be another not guilty verdict. Who would've thought the courtroom decision would be such a turn, and now it's downright incredible..."

"In the third trial, both directly sentenced to death!"

"Man, I was truly surprised by Du Ze, during the initial trial I thought he was coerced, but when the plaintiff presented the evidence... his actions were no different than Duan Feipeng's!!!"

"What a performance, fooled everyone, I was really taken in by that bastard's pitiful act..."

The crowd discussed anxiously, eyes filled with shock and delight.

No one expected the case to progress to this extent!

Not because they were just common people.

In fact, it was because they were just ordinary folks, not involved in legal professions, hence only shocked.

Look at Chengen Law Firm's people, they had already started questioning life!

Until...

"No wait, the plaintiff didn't get fooled, I remember they got the evidence on the 13th... even, after the case broke on the 7th, the plaintiff possibly started suspecting Du Ze!"

A voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

It was then that they realized.

Indeed.

From the evidence submitted by the plaintiff, they approached Wang Jin on December 13th.

Why did they approach?

Obviously it's suspicion!

Meaning...

From the very start, when Du Ze was caught, the plaintiff side never believed Du Ze was innocent or was dragged into it!?

In an instant.

Everyone gasped in shock, instinctively looking towards the plaintiff, their eyes gradually turning respectful, a hot sensation swelling within.

There, stood a handsome, calm person, arranging some documents.

If this trial were an Oscar ceremony.

And everyone was acting.

The defendants acted, Du Ze acted, Duan Feipeng really thought he was 17.

Their acting was exceptional, any one of them could be nominated, but yet overwhelmed by another.

That was Xu Liang!

"During the first trial, he clearly held the ironclad evidence to decide the case's victory, but remarkably, didn't let anyone realize it, instead making us think the defendants would win..."

Speaking of that.

The crowd recalled their earlier writings, skeptical of the plaintiff's analysis, their faces turned a shade of embarrass.

They looked at Xu Liang with eyes full of helplessness.

If you had the ironclad evidence, why didn't you say so earlier...

Why do you love showing off your acting skills so much!?

On the plaintiff's bench.

"We won the case!!!"

Yang Ruoxi was extremely excited, she jumped up, her hands clenched into fists placed on her chest, looking at Xu Liang excitedly.

Since the beginning of the case, she and Su Yu didn't think they could win.

No choice.

Get-out-of-jail-free card, being 17 was an insurmountable mountain!

Regardless of where you're employed, or which school you graduated from, or who your teacher is.

In any case.

As long as that exists, Duan Feipeng was 100% unlikely to get a death sentence, so for the plaintiff, even with evidence glaringly laid out, at most it's a life sentence!

Is life severe?

Theoretically, only requires serving 13 years, possibly only 10...

Not that severe really, Duan Feipeng could just lie low for ten years, then continue his wrongdoings after release.

Therefore.

Even if it were life, to them at the beginning, it was still a huge defeat!

But...

Xu Liang before her eyes.

Dug away that insurmountable mountain, exposing a bare, terrified Duan Feipeng!!!

Yang Ruoxi was speechless with excitement, her whole body trembling with adrenaline.

Those eyes full of radiance, staring at Xu Liang excitedly.

After a long while, she fumbled out a word.

"You're just so awesome!"

Xu Liang smiled, although relieved, he didn't lose composure.

Looking at the fangirl-like scene before him, Xu Liang pointed to the scattered documents in front of her.

"Organize these useless documents, remember to save and store them properly."

"We might use them again."

They could... be used again?

In an instant.

Yang Ruoxi paused, then realized, her joy intensified, as if hit by good luck, feeling dizzy.

If they're used again, then where?

The provincial capital.

Lanshan Province's capital!

This case's first trial was conducted by Hanhai City Intermediate Court, the second trial would surely step up a level, moving to the provincial court!

Though it's only one level up, that one level far surpasses the vast difference between grassroots and intermediate!

Lanshan Province has 15 prefecture-level cities, multiple county-level cities, with a population exceeding a hundred million!

Over a dozen intermediate courts, while the provincial court...

There's only one!

The entire Lanshan Province, there's only one High People's Court!

Its prestige has long been beyond the reach of small-time lawyers!

As long as it's a criminal case, going there, even if you remain passive throughout, it's enough to make a name for yourself.

"Duan Feipeng will definitely appeal for a second trial."

Xu Liang spoke casually, now turning his head towards the defendant's bench.

His vision pierced through the narrow gaps between several people, finally pinpointing the target.

On the defendant's bench.
