Han Jingjing looked at Zhou Wenjing and felt that Zhou Wenjing didn't seem to be feigning anything.

Han Jingjing said, "Alright, since you've confessed truthfully, I'll defend you."

"The battery explosion, it was unavoidable, you indeed can't be accused of intentional murder."

"If Gu Chen is saying you committed intentional murder, he's truly unjustified. I can help defend this case, but you need to add twenty thousand more in legal fees."

Zhou Wenjing immediately knelt in front of Han Jingjing and said, "Thank you, Lawyer Han, but I really didn't kill anyone... I didn't kill anyone! The fire burned my house, where would I live? How could I intentionally kill? If I did, I'd deserve a bad end!"

Zhou Wenjing didn't want to admit it, nor did she dare to.

She couldn't admit it to anyone.

She thought, after five years, there must be no evidence.

No one could find any evidence!

Isn't a fire normal?

Isn't it normal if someone dies in a fire?

The fire occurred and Wang Zhihao's father died; that's Wang Zhihao's father's fault.

When a fire breaks out, why not run away?

What does this have to do with her?

Why blame everything on her?

Zhou Wenjing said, "Lawyer Han, money is not a problem! As long as you defend me, it's fine. Gu Chen is slandering me, make sure to put Gu Chen away too. What kind of lawyer is he, accusing me in court without even understanding the situation? The police didn't say anything, so why should Gu Chen?"

With this, Zhou Wenjing and Han Jingjing reached an agreement.

Zhou Wenjing even transferred twenty thousand yuan to Han Jingjing.

Han Jingjing said, "Are you sure about what you've said? You didn't kill anyone, is this the whole truth, nothing else? If there's something more you haven't told me, I won't be able to help you with this case."

"And there's no one else here, I'm not recording anything, I'm your lawyer, and I won't harm you. Tell me everything, no matter what, I will defend you. Don't worry, even real murderers have lawyers defending them, you don't need to worry too much."

"Zhou Wenjing, if there's something you didn't tell me in advance, leading to a loss in the case, I won't be able to help you."

Zhou Wenjing nodded and said, "Lawyer Han, that's all there is to the situation, nothing else, rest assured."

Only then did Han Jingjing nod in satisfaction.

....

....

An hour passed quickly.

The court resumed session!

Meanwhile, Zhou Wenjing's ex-boyfriend Tian Xinyu had been arrested!

The police directly arrested him!

Because this case involved murder.

So the police initiated an investigation!

At the police station...

An Xin walked in and asked, "How is the investigation going?"

A policeman said, "We questioned him, he denied everything, Tian Xinyu said he knows nothing about this, he steadfastly claims ignorance."

An Xin frowned, "Ask about his whereabouts on the day of the incident, the time, the place, what he was doing?"

The policeman said, "We asked, Tian Xinyu said he forgot because this case is from five years ago, there's nothing we can do, we really can't. Tian Xinyu firmly denies, refusing to admit anything, without evidence, we can only hold him for 24 hours."

Because the evidence is with the court....

So they couldn't directly arrest Tian Xinyu.

Right now, Tian Xinyu is at most a suspect.

The court's evidence is still incomplete, the remaining pieces are with Gu Chen.

If Tian Xinyu doesn't say anything, there's truly nothing that can be done.

Especially since it happened five years ago, Tian Xinyu firmly claims he forgot, doesn't know, who can do anything about it?

An Xin said, "In that case, do as I instruct."

"Just say that in court, Zhou Wenjing has confessed everything, saying Tian Xinyu committed the murder alone, that Zhou Wenjing shifted all the blame onto Tian Xinyu. If Tian Xinyu is willing to confess, there'll still be a chance for self-vindication, performing deeds to atone for crimes."

The police understood immediately.

The officers continued the interrogation....

Whether they could obtain a confession was uncertain.

If Tian Xinyu steadfastly claims he doesn't know anything, there's nothing anyone can do.

Solving cases requires evidence.

....

At the court, the session resumed!

Presiding Judge Lin Zhong: "The case is now a criminal trial!"

"Received a report from the plaintiff's lawyer, Gu Chen, accusing Zhou Wenjing and Tian Xinyu of colluding in murder five years ago, jointly killing Wang Zhihao's father, Wang Feng."

"The police have opened an investigation."

"The court will make the final judgment."

"The floor is open to the prosecutor for a statement."

The prosecutor, representing the prosecution.

The prosecutor said, "Based on the evidence provided by Lawyer Gu Chen, the following situation is known."

"On July 13, five years ago at 4:03 PM, 1119 received a report of a fire in the West Garden District, firefighters immediately rushed to the scene and eventually found Wang Zhihao's father, Wang Feng, dead in the fire."

"After verification, the cause of the fire was determined to be the explosion of a battery in a [Fengqi] electric scooter."

"Due to the size of the fire and subsequent damage to the scene from firefighting efforts, the investigation was challenging, but after multiple investigations, police interviews, technical evaluations, it was finally determined that the high noon temperatures, poor ventilation inside, coupled with a substandard battery quality resulted in the scooter battery explosion, ruling out arson."

"According to evidence submitted by Lawyer Gu Chen, it can be determined...."

"One month before the incident, Zhou Wenjing bought a brand-new [Fengqi] electric scooter."

"The day before the incident, Zhou Wenjing and Tian Xinyu purchased a scrapped [Fengqi] scooter from a junkyard at a high price, which Zhou Wenjing then took home."

"Zhou Wenjing brought the nearly scrapped scooter home, and by midday the following day, the battery exploded."

"After the incident, based on surveillance footage, Zhou Wenjing sold a [Fengqi] electric scooter to the junkyard."

"And as confirmed by the junkyard owner, it was a brand-new electric scooter."

"The junkyard owner did not discard the scooter but chose to use it himself, up to today....."

"And Lawyer Gu Chen found the junkyard owner and the scooter and conducted an appraisal."

"The appraisal showed the junkyard owner's scooter was the one Zhou Wenjing originally bought."

"And according to the junkyard owner, the battery in Zhou Wenjing's originally purchased [Fengqi] scooter had not been replaced for five years."

"This implies Zhou Wenjing deliberately took a defective battery into her home for charging."

"Therefore, we believe Zhou Wenjing has significant suspicion, of deliberately bringing a battery with known quality issues into her home, causing the battery to ignite, and suspect Zhou Wenjing of intentional murder."
