Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!

Chapter 75 Xu Liang: I'm a man of principle!

Yang Ruoxi suddenly poked Xu Liang's waist, which immediately made him feel itchy.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Liang's tone was strange; his waist was always sensitive, and he would feel uncomfortable if anyone touched it.

Yang Ruoxi gestured for him to look towards the courthouse entrance.

These two are
"Hey, you really have to thank me now!"

"I searched for almost three months before I finally found out that the two of them were also in Jiangsan City!"

Yang Ruoxi said softly.

These two people are Sun Quan's parents. Like Sun Quan, they also set out to find him 13 years ago, right after he passed away.

Sun Quan was heartbroken when Sun Qian was abducted.

But the two of them were even more grief-stricken than Sun Quan.
Yang Ruoxi really went through a lot of trouble to find them.

The two middle-aged men seemed to have noticed something as well.

He subconsciously turned around and looked at the three of them.

Sun Quan's gaze suddenly met that of the two men, and all three of them stopped abruptly.

Thirteen years have passed, and his face is no longer the same as it used to be.

The marks of time are like carving knives, leaving their marks on our faces.

They looked at each other's faces.

Their lips moved slightly, but they couldn't utter a single word.

Xu Liang smiled, reached out and nudged Sun Quan, pushing him forward.

immediately.

He turned his head and exchanged a glance with Yang Ruoxi.

Sun Quan's trial is over, then...
"Is it time for a second trial?"

Yang Ruoxi's expression turned strange, but her tone gradually became excited.

According to the plan.

After dealing with Sun Quan, they would need to find a way to get Zheng Mei in.

Before things come to a head, we need to use up Sun Quan's second trial opportunity to prevent the other party from dragging Sun Quan down with them in a fit of anger. Although we're not afraid, it would still be a bit of a hassle!
Therefore, they need it now.
We need to use up our second trial opportunity!

In the second instance, there is a 90% chance that the original judgment will be upheld, and a 10% chance that it will be changed. To be conservative, you can avoid the second instance altogether.

However, Sun Quan was willing to accept the death penalty if it meant bringing Zheng Mei to justice.

so.
Xu Liang nodded, not wanting to spoil the atmosphere of Sun Quan's reunion, and returned to the grassroots court, then quietly got into his car again.

And the direction they were traveling was...

[Intermediate People's Court!]

at the same time.

The Intermediate People's Court of Hanhai City.

"Tsk, the Hongfu District Court really has guts to make this judgment."

Inside his office, Judge Zhao Yi stared at the television in front of him, a look of astonishment on his face.

On television, there was a live broadcast about Sun Quan's case!

"Ha, Old Zhao, you're not far behind either."

Upon hearing this, the colleague beside him smirked and said:

"You dare to pronounce the verdict in the Chen Dong case in court? If we're really going to be honest, Zhang Bo is far inferior to you."

Zhang Bo and Zhao Yi might have something in common.

If the two of them wanted to meet, they would probably have a very pleasant conversation.

This isn't because they're close in age, but because they were both tormented by the same person!

only.
"Different."

Zhao Yi shook his head and said:

"No matter how the panel of judges discusses Chen Dong, the verdict will not change."

“Sun Quan is different; his rulings are flexible.”

In Chen Dong's case, Xu Liang was 17 years old on his left hand and had mental health evidence on his right, so no matter how many times the court hearings were held, he would not bear criminal responsibility.

Think of this.

A smile appeared on Zhao Yi's face.

"Alright, the first instance verdict is a three-year suspended sentence."

"If he gets a six or seven-year sentence, who knows?"

Who knows what might happen?
They might appeal!

They'll be the ones in trouble then!

No one in the entire court wants to face this case!
However, since the sentence was suspended for three years and Zheng Mei did not pursue the matter further, the defendant was satisfied, so a second trial was not initiated, and the intermediate court was not involved.

Think of this.

Everyone in the office breathed a sigh of relief, exchanged glances, and smiled knowingly.

until
"boom!"

In a trance.

The office door was violently pushed open, and everyone turned to look.

But then, a man with a sullen face and an expression as if he had swallowed a greenbottle fly stood at the door.

"Old Li, it's almost time to get off work, what's with that expression?!"

Zhao Yi frowned, somewhat puzzled.

Old Li stared at the group for a long time, then finally took a deep breath and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"Second instance."

"What second trial?" Zhao Yi and the others were taken aback.

"An appeal has been filed in the Sun Quan case!"

Old Li said with a long face.

Upon hearing this, everyone was puzzled.

"Didn't the prosecution sign a letter of understanding? Is she going back on her word again?!"

Zhao Yi looked completely puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Old Li shook his head. "It wasn't the prosecution, it was the defendant who filed the lawsuit."

The defendant appealed?
That is.
Sun Quan and Xu Liang have appealed!?

moment.

Everyone in the office was stunned.

"Sentenced to three years suspended for three years and still appealed?!" Zhao Yi was dumbfounded.

He killed three people and wasn't even satisfied with a suspended sentence? Which university taught him? Who issued him his lawyer's license?!
"What is he trying to do?!" The people around him were also stunned.

"God knows what he's up to!"

"Anyway, it's his prerogative to appeal, and it's inevitable," Old Li said with a bitter expression.

"Then how should it be judged?" Everyone frowned.

"What other verdict can there be? Are they going to acquit you?!"

Zhao Yi was speechless. He felt that Xu Liang was a pure lawyer, and there was no other lawyer like him in the entire Hanhai City.

"Then let's uphold the original verdict." The others nodded in agreement.

Although it's not necessarily a matter of who takes on the case, their short-term ideas are very similar.

The first instance court has already clarified the case very clearly. If no other clues emerge, the second instance court is very likely to uphold the first instance court's ruling.

The Chen Dong case is an isolated incident!
"Why did he appeal? Is he really dissatisfied?!"

Zhao Yi was still struggling with this problem, and he didn't want to leave work. He looked completely lost.

"who knows."

Everyone shook their heads.

After a long silence, they said a few words and then promptly left work.

"never mind."

"Notify the prosecution."

"What? A second trial?"

"I didn't appeal, so why am I in a second trial? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"It's not me appealing? It's the defendant appealing!?"

"what???"

10 month 12 day.

Inside the Hanhai City Police Station.

Zheng Mei, who had just arrived at the police station to visit the Zhou family, was caught off guard by a message from the police before she could even make her visit.

“That’s right, the defendant has appealed,” the police officer in front of me reminded me.

Zheng Mei was stunned.

In a daze, a sense of foreboding welled up inside him.

Why did he appeal?!

"I don't know about that, Ms. Zheng." The officer shook his head. "I was just responsible for making the notification."

Say it.

The police officer then left decisively.

Zheng Mei was left alone in the hall, bewildered.

She was appealed.
On what grounds can the other party appeal? Why are they appealing?!

Didn't we agree that as long as a letter of understanding is signed, we won't be sued?
Did he regret it?

No, that won't do.

Zheng Mei's mind was in turmoil. Her originally calm thoughts suddenly became a tangled mess, and she appeared extremely flustered.

finally.

She gritted her teeth, walked to a secluded corner, and took out the phone she had just bought a while ago.

Dial an unfamiliar number.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”

"Hello, this is the Conscience Law Firm. Do you have any..."

The call connected, and Xu Liang's voice rang in her ear.

The moment I heard it.

Zheng Mei's eyes reddened, and she immediately interrupted him.

"I am Zheng Mei!"

"Appeal? Why are you appealing? We clearly agreed on this when we signed the letter of understanding."

Zheng Mei was terrified; she was afraid of dying, she was truly terrified of dying.

but
"Oh, I see, Ms. Zheng."

“My contract with Mr. Sun states that I can only receive the commission fee after the second trial is completed, so the second trial must be held, otherwise I will not receive the fee.”

On the other end of the phone.

Xu Liang casually comforted Zheng Mei.

"Don't worry, the appeal and second instance have absolutely nothing to do with you!"

"It's purely a contract issue. After all, it's a two-month case, and you wouldn't think it's right if I didn't get a single penny, would you?"

There are generally many types of lawyer contracts.

Consultation, first instance, or first and second instance, or even retrial, are all possible.

A series of technical terms followed.

Zheng Mei was stunned for a moment, and she hesitated.

"So...it has nothing to do with me? Really nothing to do with me? Attorney Xu, you..."

She felt weird.

However, before she could think about it carefully...

Xu Liang on the other end of the phone suddenly became angry.
