Chapter 258: Innocent Until Proven Guilty

ul cat, and gently scratched her. Shu Tinglan giggled as she shrank into a ball, afraid of the itching, her mood brightening. 。She had never laughed so freely and openly in front of him, her eyes spa..."As for Xu Wei, based on the information we currently have, we can only confirm that the evidence provided by the procuratorate at the time was flawed and ineffective. This evidence is not sufficient to determine that Xu Wei is the murderer. However, it also does not prove Xu Wei's innocence."

"So, for this case, if we can't find compelling evidence to prove Xu Wei's innocence, then we can only request the court to try him under the presumption of innocence."

>The principle of "innocent until proven guilty" means that in cases where the facts of a crime are unclear or there is not enough evidence to be sure, criminal charges should not be brought against a suspect. This helps to prevent wrongful convictions. (Note: Source: Baidu search)

So, regardless of whether they can find evidence to prove Xu Wei's innocence, the previous evidence cannot convict him.

Shouting Lan had a bit of the courage of a newborn calf that fears no tiger, expressing her opinion all at once. After all, in front of the seniors, it wouldn't matter if she was wrong.

Several lawyers looked at her with satisfaction, and Han, the head lawyer, said...

“Xiao Shu is doing well, a promising young man. You, Mr. Sun, are too humble. Well then, since Xiao Shu understands this case thoroughly, I think you should take the lead. We'll provide support from behind.”

This... Director Han is truly a seasoned veteran. With just a few words, she doesn't give anyone a chance to refuse. She slams the responsibility onto her with a definitive "bang."

"I see, Lawyer Sun has a powerful team of lawyers. With generals like Xiao Shu on his side, it's no wonder he's been clamoring for retirement these past few years."

Everyone praised her again.

Xu Mu looked at Shu Tinglan with tears in her eyes, placing all her life's wishes on her. Seeing the glimmer of hope shining through her despair, Shu Tinglan couldn't bear to refuse.

When I video called Yimu Yang back at the hotel that evening, she sounded a bit discouraged.

“Those old foxes took advantage of my unpreparedness and passed this hot potato to me.” She joined the seminar with the intention of learning, thinking that everyone present was a senior expert. No matter how they rotated, it wouldn't be her turn. So she had no defense and was put on the spot.

Yimu Yang asked, "What do you think Don't you want to take this case at all"

Shu Tinglan thought for a moment: "The main issue with this case is that the timeline will be very long. While completing it would boost popularity, there wouldn't be much profit. I don't really want to take it on, but I can't bear to refuse."

Yi Muyang said: "Your unwillingness might be the truest thought in your subconscious."

Shu Tinglan was stunned. Yi Muyang seemed to have hit the nail on the head.

She has been driven by life these past few years to keep moving forward, desperately taking on cases and finding clients. It was all out of necessity. If you asked her how much she liked the legal profession, her answer would be that she didn't really like or dislike it. This job was just a way for her to support her family. In short, she hadn't found any meaning in this work beyond making money.

She doesn't really care about fairness and justice; she only cares about quick resolutions. She doesn't invest any emotion in the parties involved, and once the case is over, that's it.

Until this seminar, she hadn't seen the glimmer of hope tinged with despair in Xu Mu's eyes, nor the unwavering trust and even dependence she placed in her. At that moment, a switch flipped inside her. For the first time, she understood the meaning behind her work went beyond simply providing for her family.

"After seeing the video of and Yi Mu Yang, Jie Bing Xiao Xin looked at her with ambiguous eyes and sighed."

"Mr. Shu, Mr. Yi, you two are so in love! When will I have a relationship like that"

Xiao Xin is a young girl in love, longing for a sweet romance.

With such fantasies, he fell asleep soon and even forgot to report Sun Yu's whereabouts to Lawyer Shu.

Zhuo Y uan also received a message from Director Han.

“The seminar was a success, and Xiao Shu has decided to take on the case. In the short term, she should be staying in Mori-zho.”

Yes, the seminar was arranged by Zhuo Yu'an, but he didn't inquire about the specific case discussed. He only heard from Director Han just now that it was a murder case.

"Is it difficult"

"You young folks, you need to let her take on some challenging cases to really progress, don't you think" Director Han chuckled and hung up the phone.

Shu Tinglan, after watching a few videos of the two children sent by Yi Muyang before bed and looking at some materials, was about to go to sleep when a notification sound came from her phone. It was a consultation reminder from a lawyer's website.

She took a look, it was the newly registered account that had greeted her a couple days ago and then went silent. Two days later, the account sent her another "hello" and then fell silent again.

Shu Tinglan finds this kind of inquiry very annoying. Can you just say what you have to say Sending a "hello" is such a waste of time, isn't it

Yes, it's from Mr. Zhu again this time.

He racked his brain, unsure what questions to ask. He didn't want to fabricate a story to deceive her, but he cherished this as their only link. So each time, he sent an annoyingly generic "hello" and left it at that.

Just as Shu Tinglan was about to log off and go to sleep, the other party sent two more words.

"That..."

Gone again Can you just say it all at once

Shutinglan directly sent an automatic reply: I am currently offline. For any matters, please leave a message and I will reply as soon as I come online. Then she went offline to sleep.

Zuo Yu'an chuckled at the automated reply, imagining how annoyed she must have been with having to send out such a canned message before going offline.

Just such a brief exchange, and he felt satisfied. To see her so vibrant, his always-hanging heart finally eased a little.

When he saw Sun Yueyue during the day, he actually subtly inquired about her well-being.

He asked, "Did you lose your phone during that game Did you find it later"

"Can't find it."

"How do I get home"

My sister happened to be on a business trip to Senzhou, and she sent me some money.

"Your sister Your resume says you're an only child" He actually knew all along, guiding Sun Yue step by step.

"She's not my biological sister, she's a lawyer at my dad's firm and we're very close to our family."

Sun YuYue was very afraid of him. She would only answer his questions in short replies, not daring to say more. But Zhuo YuAn understood the general situation. After her mother passed away, she went to that city in the middle alone and had been working at Mr. Sun's law firm ever since.

This brought him some relief at last.

He scrolled through her past responses to other inquiries on the lawyer's online platform, page by page. He found that she was mostly patient, but when she encountered a few questioners who repeatedly asked the same question, she would directly send out the offline reply template from earlier, and regardless of how the questioner continued to ask, she would automatically reply with the template and no longer respond.

She's quite spirited and refuses to waste her time blindly.
