Although this logical concept is not explicitly stipulated in the Criminal Law, it nevertheless embodies the spirit of criminal law.

It is impossible to rashly convict an act that is not at all harmful.

Moreover, Fei's parakeet, this type of parrot, has already begun to breed in large numbers.

They are very common in the wild. The population is extremely large.

It is no longer suitable for them to be listed as endangered wild animals.

In other words, since they have been largely domesticated and bred, treating them with the same protection as wild animals would lead to a one-size-fits-all approach.

This weakens judicial power. It is unfair to other wild animals that truly need protection.

"Third, the prosecution applied the law incorrectly."

Then, Qin Mu jotted down another point.

In the submitted indictment copy, the prosecution classified the eighteen parrots raised in Song Yun's home as illegally sold endangered wild animals.

However... Wild animals refer to animals that live in their natural environment and are not artificially bred.

Artificially bred animals—in terms of living environment, way of life, breeding methods, and their relationship with the natural ecology—are completely different from wild animals.

The two should not be confused.

The judicial interpretation issued by the Supreme Court, titled "Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Law in the Trial of Criminal Cases Involving Destruction of Wildlife Resources," is obviously outdated.

At the very least, Fei's parakeet does not meet the various criteria for endangered wild animals.

They cannot simply be categorized as such across the board.

Strictly speaking, Song Yun only sold three Fei's parakeets when customers strongly requested them.

The other fifteen parrots are distinct from those presented as material evidence and cannot be used as a basis for conviction.

"The fourth point..."

After spending an entire night, Qin Mu had organized five feasible defense strategies.

The difficulty of this case... lay in the need to challenge the existing criminal law articles, which were based on supposedly 'irrefutable evidence,' and argue for a not-guilty verdict.

Furthermore, Song Yun had previously signed a plea agreement, which was tantamount to admitting guilt and acknowledging the crime.

Defending under these circumstances added another layer of difficulty.

However... he still did not regret it.

Even if I don't receive the rare reward from the system, I have to do this!

「The next day.」

After Qin Mu arrived at work at the nursing home, he went straight to the legal consulting office to wait for Wang Dachui's arrival.

At nine o'clock sharp, Wang Dachui arrived at the office.

Upon seeing Qin Mu, he was startled.

"You... you've sorted out your thoughts?"

Then he came to his senses, a look of surprise on his face.

Qin Mu nodded.

He briefly outlined the five defense strategies.

After Wang Dachui heard them, he was once again stunned, completely shocked.

These five defense points seemed simple, but they contained many legal concepts, as well as various legal provisions and judicial interpretations.

Much of this information... he had never even heard of before.

"Do you have anything to add?" Qin Mu asked humbly with a smile.

Wang Dachui's mouth twitched.

He simply rolled his eyes.

Add anything? Yeah, right!

If Qin Mu hadn't laid them out, with my knowledge, I wouldn't have been able to come up with a single defense point!

Moreover, after he went home yesterday, he told his girlfriend he was going to argue for a not-guilty verdict.

As a result... his girlfriend was incredibly excited.

She said if he could win this not-guilty defense case, she would marry him!

In their line of work, especially for criminal defense lawyers, winning a not-guilty verdict is extremely difficult.

That's why his girlfriend was so excited.

"Qin Mu, you must win. My happiness for the rest of my life is in your hands," Wang Dachui looked at Qin Mu, his eyes brimming with an almost tender emotion, despite his usual rascally demeanor.

Having lodged the appeal in court, he had essentially dumped all the subsequent work onto Qin Mu.

Qin Mu: "..."

Looking at the somewhat unreliable Wang Dachui, he suddenly felt a twinge of regret.

If I didn't have to wait a while longer to take the bar exam, I would have handled this case myself.

"There are five days left," Qin Mu said. "Next, we need to refine these defense points, prepare all the necessary materials, and wait for the trial."

Finally, the two discussed the details of the upcoming trial.

Then Qin Mu left the office.

Meanwhile, Qin Mu continued to cram by reading books on courtroom litigation.

The "Eidetic Memory" skill had its advantages.

Besides providing an exceptional memory, the knowledge he memorized would gradually integrate and become interconnected.

So, he had managed to organize the defense points in just one night.

Normally, this would take an entire law firm working overtime for two or three days.

Dealing with law... is always the most tedious and boring work.

「Zizhou.」

Qing Lan, for once, had woken up early and finished her breakfast.

She went to the study, planning to play a ranked game online.

But then she felt that playing the game alone was too boring.

So she sent a message to Qin Mu.

"Up, wanna play one of those games where guys and girls can play together? The kind that's exciting, action-packed, thrilling, and really gets your blood pumping!"

A few minutes later, Qin Mu replied: "At work. Can't make it."

Qing Lan pouted, feeling somewhat indignant.

These days, Qin Mu seemed to be busy again.

She had invited him to team up for games several times, but he just ignored her.

It was just that she'd messed up for him a *tiny* bit last time.

Everyone has their off days.

When she played against bots, she could occasionally get more than ten kills!

Oh, forget it. I'll just find some of my stream followers to play with.

With that, she opened her followers' group chat, intending to find a few people to team up with for ranked games.

As a result... the group chat immediately erupted with activity.

"Sister Lan is playing ranked? When are you starting? I want to get on the enemy team and snipe you! Experience the joy of thrashing a noob!"
