Jin City.

Nursing Home.

The news of the upcoming trial of the bridesmaid case, spread by Zhang Qingyuan, Song Tiancheng, and others, soon reached throughout the entire nursing home. Many of the elderly residents showed great interest in it.

At the wedding scene, one dead and three injured! The case sounded thrilling indeed.

It was said that Qin Mu had also helped with the defendant's defense.

"We must go to this trial in four days! It's been a long time since I've seen such a thrilling case!"

"It's a major case involving a life. I wonder if they'll end up sentencing someone."

"They probably won't. I heard that in five days, there will be another case involving unlawful detention. I just don't know if the bridesmaids sued those who caused the wedding disturbance..."

"The cases these days are one after another, and the defendants are emerging like bamboo shoots after a rain."

"Do you guys think Xiao Qin is a bit unlucky? It seems like wherever he goes, trouble follows."

Everyone was emotionally charged. Whenever they were bored, they discussed the bridesmaid case. The behavior of the wedding disturbers in the bridesmaid case also made them very angry. In their time, ruffians like this hardly ever appeared. Whistling at a woman could lead to a sentence, let alone blatantly tearing clothes, touching legs, and groping breasts in public.

Unfortunately, the bridesmaid had acted in self-defense, yet it led to severe consequences: one dead and three injured. Such a situation made the nature of the case very serious. If the defense was poor, she might be charged with manslaughter.

Meanwhile, some people gradually recognized the essence of Qin Mu's "bad luck." He was simply a walking disaster.

Qin Mu, listening to the elderly residents' discussions, couldn't help but frown.

He had also once dreamed of a peaceful and happy life.

However, ever since he received the system bonus of luck points, he clearly had a higher probability of encountering such incidents. Whenever some injustice, moral coercion, or borderline illegal actions occurred nearby, he was very likely to get dragged in. Before he had 2,000 luck points, he would encounter similar situations, but definitely far less frequently.

"COUGH, COUGH. The trial is in four days... There might be a lot of people involved, and seating in the public gallery is limited, so only a few of you might be able to go."

Subsequently, Qin Mu found the eager Zhang Qingyuan and others and threw cold water on their enthusiasm.

"Why?" Zhang Qingyuan and the others widened their eyes.

"This case happened in the village. Those appearing in court include one deceased victim, four injured victims and their relatives, the wedding disturbers, the guests and witnesses of that day, the groomsmen and bridesmaids, the bride and groom, and the parents of the bride and groom..." Qin Mu looked at everyone, stating seriously.

There are limited seats in the courtroom gallery—only forty. While public trials do allow outsiders to observe, priority is given to those directly involved with the case. Those unrelated to the case are scheduled last.

This meant the trial wouldn't be like usual, where dozens of elderly people could go at once. There might not even be a spot for them.

"Is that so..." Zhang Qingyuan and the others felt somewhat disheartened after hearing this. The case involved many individuals, and the number of relatives of those implicated was very large.

"No worries, those who can't make it to the site... can watch the live broadcast at the nursing home," Qin Mu said suddenly, looking at the somewhat disheartened crowd.

The case had already been confirmed for public trial. At that time, the trial would be livestreamed online.

"Then, I'll ask Wang Dachui to stream it in the nursing home, and you can watch it there too."

No sooner had Qin Mu spoken than smiles returned to the faces of the elderly residents in the yard.

Although not as exciting as being at the venue, having it was better than nothing.

「Four days later.」

The day of the bridesmaid case trial finally arrived.

「Jin City Court.」

As scheduled, Qin Mu, Zhang Wei, and Huang Lan, the defendant in this case, met at the courthouse entrance. Together, they entered the Second Criminal Court. Huang Lan was the bridesmaid who had committed the act on that day.

"Lawyer Zhang, Qin... Uncle Qin, I really won't be sentenced, right?" After walking into the Criminal Court, Huang Lan became nervous again and couldn't help looking at Qin Mu and Zhang Wei. Because of Peng Songyue, she now also called Qin Mu "Uncle Qin."

"Relax," Zhang Wei nodded, comforting her. "Once the trial begins, all you need to do is follow procedure and state your case. Avoid insulting the judge, causing a disturbance in court, disrupting order, or presenting a false defense. Leave the rest to me." He also particularly emphasized these precautions.

In the courtroom, the judge and the tribunal held the power to determine guilt. Their role was to present a defense by citing legal statutes and arguing legal principles, thereby persuading the tribunal to issue a not-guilty verdict. Therefore, actions that might offend the judge and the tribunal were absolutely forbidden. The judges and tribunal members were human too; they had their own emotions and moods.

His previous few defendants were bloody lessons.

"Lawyer Zhang, surely no one... would dare to insult the judge in court, right?" Huang Lan swallowed hard, unable to help but ask.

A normal person wouldn't dare to act arrogantly in front of a judge who held the power of life and death.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei's expression became somewhat peculiar. He sighed deeply and said enigmatically, "You're still young; you've seen too few people."

A large forest houses all sorts of birds. This truly was a profound truth. He previously didn't really believe there were such arrogant people. But, in fact, there really were.
