Chapter 4: Crazy, He Wants to Send the Judge to Operate the Sewing Machine

I. Trial Background

On the 11th of 25th (December 25th presumably), it was the trial day. After two days, Lin Chuan had browsed through all the evidence information in the case file. Moreover, by using the ability of the system, Lin Chuan copied them all out. However, there is a lot of information in the legal space that is grayed out, which means it cannot be presented on the big screen. And the only way is for Lin Chuan to have contact with the parties involved.

Even so, the evidence that Lin Chuan had already mastered was enough to sentence He Tianyi. Lin Chuan was full of confidence about this lawsuit.

However, the netizens had no idea what had happened. They only knew that Lin Chuan was a college graduate who had just graduated and whose internship period hadn't ended yet. He had zero experience in court hearings and was a novice. Lin Chuan's opponent, Zhang Changming, was an absolute star lawyer in the Luzhou legal circle. He always had the upper hand in cases and had never lost a case. Therefore, the netizens basically assumed that this lawsuit would end with the plaintiff losing. They could even imagine the arrogant look of He Tianyi being released in court on the spot.

II. Waiting Before the Trial

Soon, it was nine o'clock in the morning. The scene of the trial for the highway gravel traffic accident case.

Before the formal trial, the three judges and the jury had taken their seats, and then the on - site staff began to prepare the live - streaming equipment. After 2014, all cases that could be tried publicly could be presented to the whole society in the form of live - streaming and be supervised by all sectors of society. This was to ensure the transparency and fairness of the law. At the same time, local citizens in Luzhou only needed an ID card to observe the trial on - site.

The trial would officially start at 9:30. During this time, the judges, the jury, and the lawyers on both sides would do their final preparations. Once the trial started, no time could be wasted on sorting out materials.

At the same time, the live - streaming equipment started to operate. Due to the fermentation of online public opinion, many netizens paid attention to this trial. As soon as the live - streaming room was opened, 30,000 spectators flooded in to warm up the place.

"Coming early? The trial hasn't started yet."

"Soon. There are still half an hour left. The judges and the jury have taken their seats. Why haven't the lawyers on both sides arrived yet?"

"I'm in the legal circle. Lawyer Zhang Changming is used to being late. He uses his self - confidence and composure to put pressure on his opponents. This is his consistent tactic."

"But I don't know about Lin Chuan..."

"Let the law open its eyes and let Mrs. Zheng, whose body is still cold, rest in peace."

Although the netizens generally assumed that the plaintiff side would lose. But everyone still had a glimmer of hope that the law could severely punish He Tianyi.

III. Appearance of Lawyers on Both Sides

At this time, the defendant's lawyer Zhang Changming finally made his appearance. With a stylish slicked - back hairstyle, a well - tailored suit, gold - rimmed glasses, and a thick stack of files under his arm, the demeanor of a professional lawyer was revealed beyond doubt in front of the camera. He raised his wrist and elegantly glanced at his shining Rolex. It was 9:15, and there were still fifteen minutes before the trial started. Then, Zhang Changming looked contemptuously at the plaintiff's seat and narrowed his eyes into a slit.

"Oh, this guy actually arrived later than me. Has he given up?"

As time passed, the hands on the clock in the courtroom moved another five notches. At 9:20, the plaintiff's lawyer Lin Chuan finally showed up. He was handsome and full of righteousness, but his cheap suit and civilian leather shoes greatly detracted from his image as a lawyer.

People rely on clothes, just as Buddhas rely on gold. In fact, the legal circle even pays more attention to clothing brands than the entertainment circle. Powerful lawyers charge astronomical legal fees, and their suits are all custom - made.

"Lin Chuan looks handsome and energetic, but his suit doesn't fit."

"Alas, a college graduate who is still in the internship period. How could he afford a custom - made suit?"

"His leather shoes are also from a street stall. They are made of synthetic leather."

Lin Chuan's dressing attracted the attention of the live - streaming room audience. It was too shabby. Especially when compared with Zhang Changming, it was even more obvious.

IV. Lin Chuan's Actions and Purposes

Facing a series of disdainful gazes, Lin Chuan didn't care. In his mind, the job of a lawyer was to seek justice for the defendant in litigation, not to participate in a talent show.

"Come in, kids." Lin Chuan called out, and seven or eight children walked into the courtroom from outside the plaintiff's seat. Their eyes were simple and pure, their cheeks were rosy from the high altitude, and their clothes were simple but clean. Obviously, they were the impoverished children in mountainous areas sponsored by Mrs. Zheng.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Changming shifted his gaze.

"An outside - the - ring move! Want to win sympathy by using impoverished children from mountainous areas?"

"A very clever means."

"But also very naive."

"The netizens will sympathize with them, but the judges and the jury have professional legal qualities and will pronounce the trial result according to the facts and evidence."

With just a glance, the experienced Zhang Changming knew what was going on in his heart. Lin Chuan's method of winning sympathy would have no impact on the trial result, and he was still in a favorable position.

But in fact, Zhang Changming was completely over - thinking. He was jealous of Lin Chuan with a narrow - minded heart. The reason why Lin Chuan sent these seven or eight children from mountainous areas to the courtroom was not to win sympathy. Instead, he wanted the children to see with their own eyes that the murderer of Mrs. Zheng would be punished by law to comfort Mrs. Zheng's spirit in heaven.

"Kids, this is our place. When the trial starts later, don't run around." Lin Chuan came to the plaintiff's seat and instructed the children. Then his gaze fell on Zhang Changming in the defendant's seat, and he walked straight over.

"Hello, Lawyer Zhang. Nice to meet you." Lin Chuan put on a hypocritical smile and stretched out his hands. If it weren't for wanting to know the gray information about Zhang Changming in the legal space, Lin Chuan would never have taken the initiative to be friendly.

"Oh." Zhang Changming glanced at Lin Chuan, with no trace of guilt in his eyes. He stretched out his hand indifferently.

The moment the two palms touched, a stream of information related to the lawsuit flooded into Lin Chuan's mind.

Immediately after that, Lin Chuan walked towards the presiding judge, still with a smile on his face.

"Presiding Judge, I'm the plaintiff's lawyer Lin Chuan. Nice to meet you."

"Oh, hello." Presiding Judge Qi Jun stretched out his hand without any guard, feeling that Lin Chuan was a polite young man.

But little did he know that during the physical contact with Lin Chuan, all the gray information related to this lawsuit was transferred to Lin Chuan's mind.

The memories of the two people flooded into Lin Chuan's mind at the same time, making his head dizzy. He walked back to the plaintiff's seat, closed his eyes, and immediately entered the legal space to check the dark information of the defendant's lawyer Zhang Changming and Presiding Judge Qi Jun.

And now there were only ten minutes left before the trial started. The spectators in the live - streaming room saw Lin Chuan close his eyes and not do any preparations at all. Instantly, they were extremely excited.

"As expected, you get what you pay for. A free lawyer for legal aid doesn't care at all."

"Although we know that it's difficult to win the case, we still need to have the spirit of drawing the sword!"

"Has Lin Chuan given up before the battle even started?"

"Lin Chuan is too disappointing. He doesn't even have the bottom line of a lawyer. He is not a qualified lawyer at all. In the future, no one should hire him when having a lawsuit."

The number of bullet comments in the live - streaming room increased rapidly, and all of them were comments on Lin Chuan. Until just before the trial started, the number of bullet comments reached as high as one million.

V. Lin Chuan's Demands Shock the Whole Court

However, after the formal trial started, when the presiding judge asked Lin Chuan what his demands were, Lin Chuan's answers made the courtroom silent and the trolls in the live - streaming room shut their mouths.

"Presiding Judge."

"My first demand is to sentence the defendant He Tianyi to death, with no suspended sentence, and execute immediately."

"My second demand is to sentence the defendant's lawyer Zhang Changming to more than three years in prison and revoke his lawyer's practice qualification."

"My third demand is to sentence the presiding judge to more than ten years in prison, expel him from the Party, and deprive him of political rights."

Lin Chuan's resounding answers were clearly heard by everyone in the courtroom. Everyone looked at Lin Chuan as if they were looking at a madman. And the spectators in the live - streaming room were also dumbfounded.

What on earth? As the plaintiff's lawyer, it was understandable that you fought for the rights of the plaintiff and demanded that the judge sentence the defendant to death. But does the defendant's lawyer Zhang Changming have such a deep grudge against you? You actually want to sentence him to prison too! It's too absurd. As for the last demand, it was simply the most extreme. The presiding judge asked you what your demands were, and your demand was to send the presiding judge to prison to operate the sewing machine? How could he be happy about that! Did you really think the courtroom was your own home? Ridiculous!
