Qi Huairen did not come to respond to the lawsuit and did not use a lawyer. He even heard that Richard's team contacted Qi Huairen on his own initiative, but Qi Huairen ignored him.

Obviously, Qi Huairen was unhappy and took a deep breath.

In this way, the 40th defendant was tried in absentia.

Although it belongs to the same jury as the first thirty-nine defendants, the jury is one jury.

But when two lawyers, Moxon and Han Anni of the Black Mountain Law Group, made accusations against Qi Huairen, no one defended him.

Thus, with the help of Qi Huairen's accusation of dereliction of duty, Ma Quanyou's atrocities were presented one by one and clearly displayed in front of the jury.

……

The elegant room of Gaoji Tea House.

Sitting opposite Lu Ming was Richard.

It was also Richard who took the initiative to invite Lu Ming to come for tea.

"Litigation in Northern Xinjiang is completely different from my previous experience!" Richard had a sarcastic smile in his eyes, "Your master is even more powerful here, does he think he is sure to win now? But you told He, I still have a trump card, if he doesn’t come, you will definitely lose!”

Lu Ming slowly sipped the tea, "Mr. Richard, I think you are bluffing. You are just worried. You don't want to lose to us little guys, right?"

"Really?" Richard smiled meaningfully, "Then we can continue."

Lu Ming sighed softly, "Actually, I envy you because you can do what you want."

Richard was slightly startled and looked at Lu Ming, "I don't understand what you mean. You Northern Territory people are very complicated. I don't know why Mr. Qi can be listed as a defendant, and he Why did we take the initiative to negotiate for representation in absentia? It’s so strange! I don’t understand why the judges here have so many standards and tend to be one way or another! It’s all too weird!”

Lu Ming sipped the tea slowly without making a sound.

Richard stood up, walked slowly to the window, and looked out the window blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"So, he didn't come!" Lu Ming said leisurely: "He still hopes to be your opponent in the East China Sea or the court of the Imperial Capital."

"Perhaps I came here at the wrong time..." Richard turned around and asked, "How many more days will it take for you to present the witnesses and testimonies?"

"Ten days or so..." Lu Ming coughed.

Richard frowned slightly: "You are despicable. Now I can only watch you influence the jury, and, day after day, continue to instill your views into them. For more than half a month, I People can’t do anything! This is a ridiculous trial process, do you admit it?”

Lu Ming raised his head and looked directly at him: "From the perspective of the plaintiff and defendant's lawyers, you may be able to say this. However, shouldn't the atrocities committed by Ma Quanyou's army be shown? Shouldn't they be severely punished? Ask yourselves, don’t your conscience feel troubled when you defend them?”

Richard shook his head slightly: "I am just fulfilling the responsibility of a defense lawyer."

"They are all excuses. Lawyer Richard, you are not as noble as you think. This is not an ordinary criminal case, but a horrific atrocity against an armed force. You also understand this, Therefore, you don’t want to argue with us about the evidence, but you have been using the special characteristics of the military to avoid the essence of this case. When you want to apply for the mistrial, it proves that you are just doing whatever it takes to win.”

Richard said calmly: "You and your master have exactly the same tone. In fact, he and I are from the same family."

Lu Ming waved his hand: "I don't think he will take this lawsuit. In fact, the reason why you took the lawsuit is just because the imaginary opponent is him, right?"

Richard walked back slowly, "Now you think you have the upper hand and you can say whatever you want, but this story is still far from over. I hope you can have the last laugh."

Lu Ming smiled: "I think everything will be over soon. In the Northern Xinjiang Court of Appeal, it is actually very difficult for the losing party to get a chance for a retrial. If you don't believe it, we'll see. ."

"It seems that we have great differences, especially your proud look. I don't like it very much. You are just a puppet. You are not the person I want to talk to. It is my fault to invite you to tea." Richard De turned and walked out, "I'm leaving. I will pay for the tea. Please pay for your share too!"

Lu Ming couldn't help but laugh. After being in the Northern Territory for a long time, Richard's character suddenly felt very cute. He didn't talk to each other and didn't even bother to buy a cup of tea.

Richard raised the door curtain and walked out, and suddenly heard the clatter of bones on the stairs.

Lu Ming was startled, quickly stood up and walked out quickly.

Unexpectedly, he saw Richard lying under the stairs holding his chest, and Granny Tuolong was squatting next to him to take his pulse. When Lu Ming came out, Granny Tuolong shook her head gently.

Amidst the exclamations of the tea guests, some were timid and ran away after paying their bills, while others were bold enough to gather around and watch the fun.

Lu Ming slowly walked down and looked at Richard lying on the ground, with black blood gradually oozing from the corners of his mouth. His mind was buzzing for a while, and he completely forgot what to do.

……

The two patrol officers taking notes left.

Lu Ming sat in the study room in a daze.

Richard died, and until now, it seems like this is still a dream.

He has always been his opponent. Even Richard is not very good in terms of character. In order to win the lawsuit, he will never do anything.

But, just die like this?

A giant who is very oppressive and hard to shake in court, one of the most prestigious top lawyers in the empire.

A man of great influence who has defeated countless lawyers, a giant in the judicial field.

In a place outside the law, he fell down so easily. He was such a strong professional, but his life was fragile, but it was not worth the small blade in the mouth of a hooligan.

Richard was poisoned to death, but it was no different from having his throat cut by a gangster's blade.

Those who died were so humble and so absurd.

Even, I don’t really want to know who the real murderer is.

I felt empty and had no energy to do anything.

It was as if it was not Richard who was killed, but the many principles he had always believed in.

The current lawsuit seems to have become so ridiculous.

Originally, all it takes is a small razor blade in the mouth of a hooligan to change everything in the court trial, but he has worked so hard to see it as high as the sky. Isn't it ridiculous to think about it?

There was a gentle knock on the door, and Han Anni and Xue Zihan came in.

Han Anni handed Lu Ming a piece of paper, "This is from Granny Long..." Looking at Lu Ming, she looked worried.

Lu Ming opened it. On the paper was the autopsy result of Richard. He most likely died of a chemical toxin, but what kind of toxin it was? Beining's technical conditions were not yet able to find out. Maybe it was in the capital of Northern Xinjiang Province. That's not good either. Richard's legal team is trying to freeze the body and transport it back to the imperial capital.

But in any case, Richard was not poisoned by drinking tea from Gaoji Teahouse, because he also drank the tea, and Granny Tuolong could keep an eye on him the whole time.

However, it was obvious that many people thought they had poisoned him, especially Richard's beloved disciple Lai Deke.

After hearing the news, he rushed to the teahouse and broke down emotionally on the spot. He even pointed at himself and cursed, saying that he was a murderer and had killed his master.

Thinking about it, Lu Ming sighed softly.

Looking at Lu Ming's expression from the side, Han Anni whispered: "Don't worry about the lawsuit. Judge Zhu Zhenglong has no intention of delaying the trial. He will arrange the court as originally scheduled. Now, we are showing the witnesses and evidence. It is expected that there will be more than a dozen presentations. Secondly, Judge Zhu Zhenglong believes that the legal team of Richard Firm is very strong and the lead defender can be easily replaced. During the time when we are presenting the evidence, Richard Firm is fully capable of finding a suitable lawyer. Leading the argument."

Lu Ming nodded and said with interest: "What does all this mean?"

Han Anni and Xue Zihan looked at each other with deep worry in their eyes.
