Chapter 32: Seeking a Turning Point in Desperation

During the recess, Irene and Hawk were extremely anxious, as if they were in the dark abyss, unable to find a glimmer of light. They knew that if they couldn't find evidence to refute the other side's doubts as soon as possible, all the countless efforts they had put in before would be in vain. Every night, Irene had difficulty falling asleep. Lying in bed, various details of the case kept emerging in her mind as she tried to find a breakthrough. And Hawk remained silent all day long. His eyes revealed firmness and determination, a resolve never to bow to the dark forces.

They rushed around day and night, re - organizing the case clues and visiting every possible witness. During the investigation, they discovered some details that had been overlooked before. It turned out that there seemed to be a mysterious force supporting Carl's lawyer. This force tried to interfere with the trial through various means to let Carl and the others escape legal sanctions. Irene and Hawk were not intimidated by difficulties. They decided to start with Carl's lawyer, investigating his whereabouts and the network of relationships behind him.

They shuttled through the streets and alleys of the city, tracking every step of the lawyer. Once, they found the lawyer having a meeting with a mysterious person in a remote alley. They approached cautiously and hid in the dark to eavesdrop. However, the mysterious person was very alert and discovered their presence. The two sides immediately engaged in a chase. In the narrow alley, Irene and Hawk chased desperately, but the mysterious person finally disappeared into the darkness. This experience made their beliefs even firmer. They knew that the dark forces had started a crazy counter - attack, but they would never back down.

After arduous investigation, they finally found the key witness. This witness had been an employee of Carl's law firm and had resigned because he was dissatisfied with the lawyer's actions. He held an important document that could prove the authenticity of the evidence and also exposed the inside story of Carl's lawyer colluding with the dark forces. When the witness handed the document to them, his hand trembled slightly, and his eyes revealed fear and anticipation. He was afraid that once the truth was revealed, he might be retaliated against by the dark forces, but he was looking forward to seeing justice prevail.
