Chapter 1050: The path of Heaven is profound and clear for 737 days
"Lawyer Fang."
At the courthouse entrance.
Tong Dan and a fashionable young man walked up side by side.
"Mr. Mao."
Fang Qing certainly still remembered the other party.
"Has Lawyer Fang’s injury healed completely?"
Mao Dun deliberately looked at Fang Qing’s forehead which now bore no trace of injury.
"It has healed."
Fang Qing nodded with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Mao."
"This is Jiang Chen, Fang Qing’s childhood friend."
Tong Dan did not ignore the person standing beside Fang Qing; in fact, she even took the initiative to introduce him.
"This is Mao Dun, my friend, a native of Capital City."
"Mr. Mao, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you."
Both men were quite friendly and polite.
"It’s really hard to predict how life will turn out."
The surrounding area was filled with media journalists, ready to capture firsthand material.
This was not just a common murder case; it involved ethics, social class issues, and as such, it had fermented into the most heated social news of the moment, drawing nationwide attention.
Because of this, the whole process had moved exceptionally fast. Logically, Ding He shouldn’t have been taken to court so quickly.
Compared to the general public, Mao Dun felt a multitude of emotions regarding this case.
He was an onlooker, of course, but before the incident, at the rooftop garden party, he had personally seen the male and female protagonists of this case.
The male lead was about to face the judgment of fate.
And the female lead...
It seemed her complete body would never be found.
How much time had passed?
Involuntarily, Mao Dun’s gaze shifted from the energetic and vibrant journalists around him to Fang Qing.
Could it be that karma really exists in this world?
Even if it does, it seems to have acted too quickly, right?
"That’s why they say, ’do good deeds without asking about the future. It’s better to be kind.’"
Tong Dan’s tone was not sarcastic, but rather calm.
Indeed.
All resentment should have dissipated in the face of such a situation.
"I agree with that sentiment; one should not commit evil deeds, however small, and should not neglect to do good, however insignificant."
Mao Dun nodded in deep agreement.
"Let’s go inside. There are too many cameras."
Jiang Chen suggested.
A few people entered the courtroom.
As the case was a hot social issue, the hearing was public, but the courtroom certainly couldn’t accommodate everyone. Those who could enter the courtroom were representatives from major domestic platforms such as Fei Lang News, Planet Rhythm, and Penguin News...
"Fang Qing."
"Lawyer Yi."
There were about twenty minutes left before the trial started when Fang Qing and the others entered; the early-arriving lawyers from Tian He Law Firm had already taken their seats.
These intellectuals from the social elite were not first-time visitors to the courtroom, but none had faced a graver expression than today.
After greeting each other, it was clear that nobody was in the mood for small talk, and Fang Qing and the others sat down in the back row.
"How come Lawyer Fan didn’t come?"
Jiang Chen asked quietly.
"Lawyer Fan is the defense attorney today."
Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned, then spoke with slight emotion, "I thought lawyers, as a group, were unemotional."
Compared to Fang Qing’s first significant trial, this case obviously carried much more pressure.
Guan Libing had killed someone under compulsion, it wasn’t premeditated, but Ding He was different.
Although some men sympathized with Fang Ai’s infidelity and felt her death was not undeserved, no one thought Ding He was innocent.
If he had killed in a moment of impulse, perhaps many would have sympathized with him.
But the method he used to commit the crime was too atrocious.
Of course.
If Ding He’s marital life were fully disclosed, perhaps some might understand his extreme actions.
"Fang Qing, according to your judgment, what do you think the outcome will be? What are the chances Ding He could avoid the death penalty?" Tong Dan asked curiously.
Fang Qing shook her head.
Mao Dun spoke up, "I think it’s inevitable, unless a miracle happens. He didn’t just kill someone, but he also destroyed the body, hid the evidence, and fled from his crime. If this were ancient times, nine out of ten he would receive the death penalty. And he killed a member of the Fang Family."
"The Fang Family? What about it? No matter how powerful, isn’t it a life for a life?"
Tong Dan murmured.
Still considered elite, Mao Dun gave a bitter smile, "You’re right, the barefoot are not afraid of those with shoes. This case has also served as a warning to many: it’s best to leave some leeway."
People continued to enter the court.
With about five minutes left before the session, a figure caught Jiang Chen’s attention.
"Look."
Mao Dun also looked towards the entrance of the courtroom.
"Who are they?"
Tong Dan asked subconsciously.
Mao Dun lowered his voice, "That one in the middle, that’s Fang Jun, the brother Fang Ai talked about at the party."
"He’s got a nose and two eyes, just like everyone else. I thought he’d have three heads and six arms."
Although Tong Dan said this, he was well aware that the other person was not to be trifled with, especially at this time, hence he kept his voice down.
The rest of the Fang Family did not show up.
The only present Fang Jun was very low-key, sitting down in the middle of the spectator area accompanied by two bodyguards.
Jiang Chen’s gaze swept over that expressionless face and then averted his eyes.
"The presiding judge is entering the courtroom, all rise."
Following the announcement, everyone stood up.
"Be seated. Bring in the defendant."
Under the escort of the bailiffs, Ding He, dressed in prison garb, made his appearance.
As soon as he entered, he immediately drew the attention of everyone, especially the media present, who, as one, lifted their cameras to focus on the sensational national lawyer.
