Chapter 41: Lesson Five: There Is No Absolute Justice
He had posted that highly liked comment himself.
Naturally, he had his own purpose in doing so.
Inside the room, Su Bai stretched lazily, looked at the trial materials on the table, and let out a long breath.
At present, all the preparatory work in the early stage had been completed.
All that remained was to wait for the hearing to begin!
Time passed quickly, and soon it was time for the hearing.
The commotion this case had caused on the internet was even greater than that of Nandu Bank.
If it could be said that Nandu Bank had caused some people to form a negative impression of banks.
Then this lawsuit concerned the personal safety and right of self defense of the vast majority of people.
This case had generated enormous public opinion on the internet.
In front of the Beidu High Court.
Reporters were already waiting there early, with the aim of obtaining first hand information.
Su Bai and the public prosecutor's lawyer arrived at the court at the same time.
As for the information regarding the prosecutor's lawyer, Luo Daxiang had mentioned it to Su Bai in considerable detail.
This prosecuting lawyer was named Lu Wei, a criminal lawyer who had engaged in public prosecution for many years and possessed extensive experience in prosecutorial cases.
Moreover.
In homicide cases, regardless of what had caused them, Lu Wei would always demand a severe sentence.
It was said that this was related to his own early life experiences.
Su Bai was not particularly interested in such private matters.
He only knew that handling matters in exchange for payment was a lawyer's principle, and once he had accepted the money, he had to do the job.
In the Qi Feng case.
He had to handle it well, and handle it successfully!
Lu Wei carried a briefcase under his arm, his expression stern.
The reporters were obviously more interested in Lu Wei, and they swarmed in front of him, nearly shoving their microphones into his mouth.
"Lawyer Lu, may I ask what your views are regarding this public prosecution case?"
"Lawyer Lu, in the first trial of the Qi Feng case, you already appeared as the prosecuting lawyer, and now in the second trial, you are once again appearing as the prosecuting lawyer. What are your thoughts?"
"Lawyer Lu, there are two major divisions of opinion online regarding this public prosecution case, one holding that Qi Feng is guilty and the other that Qi Feng is not guilty. What is your view on this?"
"Lawyer Lu, there is considerable controversy online over your appearance as the prosecuting lawyer, and many say that you are an executioner. Do you have any desire to offer a defense of yourself?"
"Lawyer Lu, Lawyer Lu…"
Faced with the reporters' clamorous questions, Lu Wei was obviously well prepared, and there was still not the slightest change in his stern expression.
"Thank you all for your concern regarding this trial. I also know that what everyone most wants to know is whether the prosecution can prevail in this trial. In response, I will still use the same answer I gave in the interview before the first trial."
"The law will deliver the fairest judgment."
"Qi Feng's conduct constituted intentional homicide, and his behavior was egregious. The law will judge Qi Feng, and this is not something decided by me."
"Please trust in the judgment of the judiciary!"
"As for the other questions, I am unable to provide answers for the moment. Thank you."
Having said that, Lu Wei, with his briefcase under his arm, walked into the courthouse without looking back.
In fact, media figures were quite divided over Lu Wei's image. On the one hand, as the prosecuting party, he had led the push for Qi Feng's death sentence.
On the other hand, he possessed his own sense of judicial justice, firmly insisting on the judicial principle that a killing must be repaid with a life.
Some supported him, some opposed him, some praised him, and some criticized him.
He was highly controversial, and therefore drew great attention!
After Lu Wei entered the courthouse, the remaining reporters turned their microphones and cameras toward Su Bai and Li Xuezhen.
"Lawyer Su, our media has heard that your firm specializes in marriage consultation in Nandu, so why did you take on this death penalty case? Many people online say that you are doing it for attention. Is that true?"
"Lawyer Su, how confident are you that you can prevail in the trial?"
"Lawyer Su, what do you think of facing an experienced prosecuting lawyer like Lawyer Lu?"
"…"
In response to the reporters' questions, Su Bai revealed two small white teeth in a smile.
"I know everyone is very concerned about whether our client in the Qi Feng case can prevail. Our Nandu Baijun law Firm will do everything in its power to ensure our client's legal rights and interests."
"One final point!"
Su Bai created a sense of anticipation, then stopped just short of continuing.
"One final point what…?"
"Does the final point mean that you can guarantee victory?"
"Lawyer Su, what is the final point?"
"…"
Su Bai aimed his white teeth at the microphone.
"The final point is this: when you report after the trial concludes, please include the name of our Nandu Baijun law Firm."
"Remember it, alright? It is Baijun law Firm."
Media figures: ???
Reporters: ???
What exactly are you doing…?
This is an interview!
You throw out a key point, and then it turns out to be an advertisement?
No way!!
Is this not simply seeking attention?!
Fine, if this is how you are teasing us, then when you lose the case, we will definitely put your firm's name right at the front!
While the many media figures stood there stunned and at a loss, Su Bai took Li Xuezhen and walked into the courthouse.
The last time he litigated against Nandu Bank and won, the reason he had not received even a single case afterward was that this group of media people had only cared about reporting the explosive points of the hearing!
The name of Baijun law Firm had not been promoted at all.
This time, he had stated it so directly. Once the hearing was over, it ought to have some effect, right?
There certainly would be some effect!
Su Bai recited inwardly.
During the waiting period before the hearing, inside the waiting room.
Li Xuezhen seemed hesitant to speak. "Lawyer Su, may I ask a question?"
"Go ahead."
Su Bai replied flatly.
Li Xuezhen let out a long breath. "Lawyer Su, how do you regard what that Lawyer Lu said just now?"
Su Bai had already perceived Li Xuezhen's thoughts.
A university student, after all.
It was difficult to avoid being influenced by the views of others, so Su Bai asked in return:
"How do you regard what that Lawyer Lu said just now?"
Li Xuezhen fell silent.
Su Bai continued, "Have you forgotten the second lesson I taught you? Handle matters in exchange for payment. Once we have accepted the client's money, we should not overthink."
"I know what you are thinking. Now I will teach you the fifth lesson."
"The fifth lesson?"
"Yes!" Su Bai nodded solemnly. "The fifth lesson is that there is no absolute justice, and as a lawyer one must adhere to one's original convictions!"
"From the perspective of that Lawyer Lu, a life for a life in the case of killing, intentional homicide, killing two people, and being sentenced to death all amount to accepting the correct judgment of the judiciary."
"But what if you think from the perspective of our client Qi Feng?"
"He is the victim in this matter!"
"In the beginning, he was wronged for no reason, so on what basis should he be sentenced to death?!"
"So to hell with the charge of intentional homicide, and to hell with a life for a life. Once we have been entrusted, our task is to win!"
"What is meant by the fairest judgment of the law?!"
"If we win, that is the correct judgment of the judiciary!"
"Do you understand?!"
Su Bai's voice was not loud, yet it fell deeply into Li Xuezhen's ears.
Li Xuezhen's small face grew solemn. "I understand, Lawyer Su!"
