A series of evidence was denied, and several important witnesses came forward to recant their confessions. There was no need to continue such a farce-like trial. The moment Kevin filed a counterclaim, that was the end of the case. After ten minutes of discussion by the jury, the jury finally submitted a resolution to the court. The judge sitting in the middle, on behalf of the other two, read out the final result of the case—Dulin was not guilty and could leave.
Kevin packed up the documents and evidence on the table, as well as the court minutes that his assistant had prepared for him. These things needed to be kept well, as they would be capital for his value to skyrocket again. In fact, no matter whether it is a lawyer or a wealthy person, they can probably tell after reading it a few times that there are things outside the case that are affecting the case. But instead of saying that Kevin did something wrong, they will praise Kevin. Ability.
What a law firm and its partners need is to make money. When they aspire to become famous lawyers and start studying hard, their consciences are crushed and thrown into the sewer, never to be recovered again. As for the rich people, they prefer people like Kevin. The rich people who can find Kevin don't care about money. What they care about is whether they can get things done by spending money and whether they can solve their cases. In this way, the case is won effortlessly.
After watching Du Lin leave, Kevin put his things into his briefcase and asked his assistant to go out and wait for him. He sat next to Anpu. Anpu slowly numbered the pieces of evidence and materials and put them neatly into the file bag. At this time, there was no one in the courtroom. There were only a few reporters with disappointed faces who were dismantling their camera equipment. Apart from them, there was almost no one here.
Kevin asked his assistant to wait outside, and Anpu also asked his team members to leave. When there were only two of them in the entire court, Kevin asked him, "What are you going to do next?"
Anpu sat without moving. He hooked his fingers at Kevin. The latter was a little confused, so he lit "cigarette". Amp smokes and Kevin also smokes, but Kevin smokes less. He searched his pockets but couldn't find it. Finally, he found two packs of cigarettes in his briefcase that he had prepared for socializing. He handed one to Anpu and lit one himself. It seemed like the two of them were dragging it out until the end just to have a cigarette here.
There was silence for about a minute. Kevin looked at the highest seat in the court and said softly: "Go out from the back door and go eastward. There is an alley. Go through it and turn right when you get to the plank road. There is an alley. A fish shop. You said you were introduced by Mr. Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand. He will send you to the federal government after you settle in. Give me your account number by the way, and a sum of money will arrive every month. on your account."
Although Kevin did a good job of tricking Amp this time, of course the main credit was done by Du Lin. He just turned the innocent into innocent based on Du Lin's original plan, and then tricked Amp into the water. . Although he had done these things, he felt that Anpu should not end his short journey like this. He was a very smart person, and it would be a pity to waste it.
It's not that Kevin wants to make Anpu one of his own, it's just a simple respect for the enemy he recognizes.
Anpu blew out the cigarette and turned sideways to look at Kevin sitting next to him with a half-smile, "Do you want to bribe me? Or are you aware of your conscience now?"
Kevin held one hand across his chest and pressed the other hand on his arm. He flicked the ashes of his cigarette. When the ashes rolled around him, he shrugged and tilted his head, "They are all there, I just feel a little bit." It’s a pity, because you lost in an unequal battle, it’s just a pity.”
Anpu chuckled. He took a deep breath and looked at the scale behind the highest seat, as if asking himself, "Do you think the law is really fair and just? From the day the law appeared, Didn’t you miss it in the beginning?”
This question was a bit emotional, not quite what Amp said. Kevin thought about it and replied: "When you believe that the law is fair and just, it is. But you forgot one thing, the law is not the beginning It does exist, but some people have codified a 'convention' called law for certain purposes. As for whether the law is fair and just, you should ask the nobles who codified the law, not me."
"There are no more nobles in the empire!" Anpu retorted.
Kevin didn't say anything about Anpu's somewhat naive point of view. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that as long as there are classes and status divisions, there will always be nobility in this world. They may no longer call themselves aristocrats, they have very cleverly changed this title. Maybe they are now called capitalists, maybe they are called celebrities, tycoons, or even politicians.
No matter what they are called, the nobility is there and like the truth it will never go away.
"Are you really not going to consider my proposal?" Kevin looked at An Pu seriously and turned the topic back to the original matter.
An Pu shook his head, "I believe that there is justice and justice in this world!"
Kevin shook his head and stood up and glanced at him, "Look, you don't talk about fairness and justice!" He sighed a little and stretched out his hand, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Anpu. Maybe it's true. The world you imagined will appear one day, but it is definitely not now. If there is a chance, let’s fight fair again in that world!”
Anpu also stretched out his hand and held Kevin's hand tightly. He smiled brightly, without showing any frustration at all. He smiled heartlessly, "If that day comes, you will never win. I."
The two ended their last conversation, and one walked toward the outside of the court, while the other walked toward the back door of the court. The two going in opposite directions seemed to be walking into two worlds.
A place full of light, the golden glow of the sun fell in front of Kevin, and he stepped into the light with his head held high and powerful steps.
A small door filled with gloom, darkness and silence was covered with a thick shadow. It was impossible to see through the shadow or what was inside. The moment Anpu walked in, it was like being swallowed by darkness.
After walking out of the court, I happened to see Du Lin standing on the steps. The victory in this trial meant that Du Lin got rid of Anpu and at the same time almost cleared his name. Whether it is the gold bricks worth 30 million or the more than 70 million in cash lying in a certain federal account, they have all been washed away.
When Kevin walked to Du Lin's side, he shook his head slightly. Du Lin was not disappointed or moved. Anpu has firmly chosen the path he should take. Dulin will respect him and will not force Anpu to do anything.
At this time, the reporter from the special news agency squeezed in again. While pressing the person behind him back, he asked loudly: "Mr. Dulin, do you think there are some off-site factors that interfered with this event?" The final outcome of the trial.”
Du Lin's eyes stayed on his face for a moment and he shook his head, "Your question is very strange. It seems that you have confirmed that there is something interfering with the fairness of justice. If so, please speak up and report these people. , or something. If not, then the purpose of raising this question is questionable.”
He paused here. Many people didn't hear anything wrong at first, but after Du Lin said this, they all looked at the reporter. The reporter was not afraid at all and still smiled. Du Lin laughed a few times, pointed at him, and actually answered the question, "Everyone is equal before the law, not just people, but also matters. No matter what identity I am, what status I have, or how much money I have, when I When I sit in the dock, I am just a person, a citizen of the empire. You said that someone influenced the trial? I feel wrong, because this is the result I deserve, and I am not ashamed!"
He patted Dufo on the shoulder, and Dufo immediately pushed aside the crowd and let Du Lin get in the car.
Kevin had already been sitting in the car after he got in. The door and glass blocked the reporters' questioning. When Dufo also got in, the car started slowly.
"Check that guy out and buy him a ticket to hell." Dulin's voice contained a hint of murderous intent. It wasn't that he couldn't tolerate others looking at him with colored eyes, or that he couldn't tolerate others being offended. Him, but there is a bottom line to all of this. There is no doubt that this reporter crossed this line, so he must pay the price for his actions.
The technology in this world is far from the world in Dulin's dream. The information exchange in that place called the Earth is very advanced. Even if you don't go out, you can know all the big and small things happening in the world by just moving your fingers. If there are any rumors or shocking news, many people also know to search online and verify it themselves, so that they can distinguish right from wrong.
But this world is not good. The channel for people to obtain information in this world is newspapers. When a reporter from a special news agency writes a press release with a unique stance and deliberateness, this press release is not published in a certain newspaper. Newspapers, but published in more than 90% of the entire empire, or even all newspapers! If only one newspaper published his news, it might just be "news", but when all newspapers say there is a story behind the trial, people will believe that there is a story.
All rich people dislike reporters because the rich man’s position is never in line with the reporter’s position.
Kevin rolled his eyes and interrupted, "Hey, Du Lin, is it appropriate for you and Dufo to discuss murder in front of a lawyer?"
Dulin looked back at Kevin in surprise, "It's as if you didn't plan or participate in it!"
