What's wrong with this lawyer?!-Chapter 956 - 309: The Progress Bar is Finally Complete!
Chapter 956: Chapter 309: The Progress Bar is Finally Complete!
This case is, in fact, not so significant for Guangming District Court.
Although the Procuratorate recommended a sentence of seven years, which seems quite severe to us ordinary people, in the eyes of the court, this type of case is nothing unusual.
You should know that criminal cases that might result in life imprisonment or the death penalty fall under the jurisdiction of the Intermediate Court, while basic term imprisonment cases are handled by the grassroots courts.
Hence, although we often emphasize the need to be exceedingly careful in criminal matters, those working in the public security, procuratorates, and courts, especially departments dealing with criminal cases, can become desensitized over time.
A slight sway in hands could mean a difference of six months in sentencing.
Even sometimes, the judgment has to match the duration of custody, after all, many cases in reality cannot be concluded in a short time. What if someone is detained for half a year and then the court only sentences for three months? What then?
That would necessitate national compensation, a whole bunch of assessment troubles.
So it’s simpler to just detain for half a year and sentence for half a year; once sentenced, they can be released. How convenient.
But, the symbolic significance of this case is tremendous!
Not to mention that the defense lawyer is Tang Fangjing, but mainly because of the issue where “demanding labor compensation turned into extortion charges.”
To put it bluntly, any judge who has worked for years in a grassroots criminal court is an old fox; the obvious bias in the recording is audible to anyone.
The tricky part is that receipt!
That’s why Lawyer Tang put so much effort into tying together all the evidence presented by the prosecution, to prove that Lan Baosheng had no intentional wrongdoing subjectively; on the contrary, Yuanhe Company was deliberately inducing and framing him!
Therefore, the case had to be reviewed by the adjudication committee. Thus, twenty minutes later, the Presiding Judge announced the end of the trial without issuing a verdict on the spot.
Lawyer Tang stood up, glanced at Xia Guangling opposite him without speaking, and walked over to the spectators’ seats.
Wang Wenyan and others on the spectators’ seats stood up and said: “Lawyer Tang, what do you think… can we win this?”
Director Zheng and Chen Jing, who were preparing to leave, stopped upon hearing this; they too wanted to know Tang Fangjing’s thoughts.
Lawyer Tang looked at Ju Haiqing with a smile and said: “That I can’t tell; the specific outcome is up to the court’s judgment. Right now we can only do our best.”
The prosecutor was right behind him; he wouldn’t speak carelessly.
“Alright, no need to worry too much at this point, just wait and see.”
Meanwhile, on the other side of the spectators’ seats, Chen Jing whispered to Director Zheng: “Looking at it this way, it seems Tang Fangjing isn’t very confident either.”
Director Zheng nodded and was about to say something when a voice rang out next to them:
“This must be Yuanhe Company’s Chen Jing, right?”
Shit! This one sentence scared Director Zheng and Chen Jing into jumping up, and upon looking up, they realized Tang Fangjing was already standing in front of them, smiling at the two.
Both were wearing masks, and Chen Jing stammered at Lawyer Tang: “No, how… how did you know?”
“Of course, by recognizing Chen Jing’s voice. I forgot to say, I, Tang Fangjing, have a particular skill, which is remembering anyone’s voice just by talking to them once,” Lawyer Tang continued with a still-beaming smile.
But this expression, combined with his previous action, made both Director Zheng involuntarily want to distance themselves.
This Tang Fangjing is like a ghost!
In fact, this skill was a new application of the “Photographic Memory” ability that Lawyer Tang was awarded after he reached a 700 percent completion rate initially.

As time passed, he could now utilize this ability for extended periods, and so he would activate it every time he made a phone call; after all, whatever was remembered using the ability would become permanent memory.
For example, he remembered voices.
And the things remembered through Photographic Memory wouldn’t come to mind ordinarily, only being activated when truly encountered.
Even though Chen Jing spoke softly, she never imagined Lawyer Tang could actually discern her voice!
And it seemed very unlikely, after all, there was only one phone call between the parties, and the voice through the phone inherently had some distortion. This man was a bit too supernatural!
Xia Guangling and her colleagues were also preparing to leave, but observing the situation, they subconsciously stayed to watch the excitement.
However, they were equally puzzled about the skill Lawyer Tang mentioned. Is there really such a person in this world?
Yet Lawyer Tang was not concerned about these reactions and simply remarked, “Then this must be Director Zheng, right? Great to meet you. Using criminal charges to teach those employees demanding compensation is quite an idea.”
Hearing this, Director Zheng immediately said: “I don’t know what you’re talking about, thank you, but we have to go now.”
This was a court, and he definitely could not admit these things were planned by himself. Moreover, Lawyer Tang in front of him was far too eerie, so he thought to leave as soon as possible.
Lawyer Tang did not stop them, but followed up with another comment: “Whoever gave you the idea, I just want to relay a message to Director Zheng from that brother: the job was too rough.”
This was Lawyer Tang’s honest opinion; sending someone to prison should not be executed so crudely, too blunt.
Such actions should be smooth like a spring breeze, very slick, and should leave no trace of human manipulation visible.
If Lawyer Tang were in charge, Lan Baosheng would never have had a chance to get out!
Director Zheng did not respond and simply left.
Slowly everyone dispersed, and Lawyer Tang, carrying his briefcase, took a leggy stride back to the law firm. He particularly enjoyed walking outside in the snow these days.
What comes next is awaiting the verdict. The adjudication committee of Guangming District had great controversy over this case.
The tricky part is that receipt.
