The Daily Life of the Immortal King - Chapter 1051

Chapter 1051


During the inquest before the court hearing, Fu Fusheng had given a completely contradictory response: he had shifted all the blame to Liu Yi, drawing a line between them and painting himself as the victim at the same time .

Odd Zhuo later felt that Fu Fusheng had probably done this mainly to absolve himself of criminal charges . Now that the situation had developed to this extent, whether Raven Studio could continue to operate or not was now in question . Given that it was on the cusp of becoming listed, Fu Fusheng absolutely wasn't willing for his efforts to go to waste just like that .

The prestige and wealth that he had accumulated over the last three years in the magic treasure design industry might come to nothing in the wake of this trial . Thus, he was scared .

Looking at the current situation, paying for damages wasn't a big deal for him, as the money could be earned back . However, he absolutely couldn't have a criminal record . Submitting someone else's work in a competition and flaunting it as your own creation was a type of academic plagiarism .

After the incident with the earliest plagiarist in academia, Doctor Zhai, Huaxiu Alliance immediately issued new laws and regulations to rectify and prevent large-scale academic plagiarism, the heaviest sentence for which was over thirty years in prison, a fine of five hundred thousand HNY, and being stripped of all academic qualifications and achievements .

Fu Fusheng was so scared that he would spend the rest of his life behind bars .

Since he had the guts to say these words to the judges, he was definitely self-confident . Long before the court hearing, he had already learned that basically everyone related to the plagiarism case back then was dead . Without any witnesses, Fu Fusheng appeared very confident .

Chief Judge Liang Xin looked right into Fu Fusheng's eyes; as an experienced judge, he could determine whether a person was lying or not just from the expression in their eyes .

Unfortunately, this was a court of law in the cultivation world, where every word and every action had to be based on evidence; saying "Your eyes look like those of a murderer" alone wasn't enough to convict someone .

This was an extremely high profile case, and at the same time, it was extremely difficult to extract a guilty confession . Furthermore, some of the people involved were no longer alive . Without any evidence, Fu Fusheng as the defendant would certainly evade responsibility . Chief Judge Liang Xin had already expected all of this, but who would have thought that Fu Fusheng would be so resolute without leaving himself even the slightest leeway .

But as the chief judge, Liang Xin wasn't affected by Fu Fusheng . His expression still as unruffled as an ancient well, he turned to look at the prosecution . Since the prosecution had pressed public charges, they definitely must have found evidence .

"Prosecution, please proceed . " Liang Xin raised his hand to indicate that the prosecution was allowed to present their case .


Fu Fusheng's lawyer was called Wu Yuanji, and one of the few formidable lawyers which Songhai city had . Furthermore, all judges found this person very hard to deal with . He would take on defense cases, and was single-minded in showcasing his might . Thus, he would only help defend a person's "innocence"; to back up his argument, he was very good at finding points of doubt and loopholes in a case, taking every opportunity to create evidence in favor of the defendant .

Since Fu Fusheng's defense lawyer this time was Wu Yuanji, Gao Tian felt that things had become slightly problematic .

"Is there something wrong with this person?" Little Silver asked quietly .

"He's called Wu Yuanji; he's very good at sophistry and can fake evidence without giving himself away – he's a very tricky lawyer . He's defended over one hundred cases, and they were all acquittals – so far, he's only lost one case . "



"What case was it?" Little Silver became curious .

Gao Tian said, "There was a family where the wife cheated on and cuckolded her husband, who killed his wife's lover . He was later charged with first degree murder, but because of Wu Yuanji, he was ultimately released due to insufficient evidence . In the end, when the man was released, he killed his wife . "

Little Silver and Odd Zhuo: "…"

As Gao Tian and all the judges on the panel expected, Fu Fusheng was much more composed than anyone could imagine, probably because of Wu Yuanji's presence . He was so unperturbed it was astonishing .

Even more than that, Wu Yuanji didn't think much of this case at all .

He sat calmly with his legs crossed on the defense side . Such a frivolous attitude hinted at disrespect toward the court, which was also the reason why judges didn't like him . But this guy was a notorious legend in the lawyers' circle .

This was because this person dared to take on any case, and even defended murderers .

It was just that Wu Yuanji never expected that in the only lawsuit he lost, his client would be crazy enough to go and kill his own wife after being acquitted . That was when Wu Yuanji had been given the title "demon's lawyer," meaning the lawyer who defended demons .

But Wu Yuanji didn't think it was important what the world called him . The most important thing was that he thought he was very capable; in the lawyers' circle at least, he didn't think there was anyone who was his match . Furthermore, he didn't take on cases for the costly lawyer fees .



What he liked to do most was challenge himself .

The more difficult a case was, the bigger the indescribable thrill he got after his client was pronounced "not guilty . "

Was this abnormal?

Maybe there really was something wrong with Wu Yuanji's head, but he was extremely pleased with the title "demon lawyer . "

As long as he took on a defense case, it would definitely end in an acquittal .

What was the most important thing in a court of law? Wu Yuanji laughed every time he thought about it .

That was right, the most important thing was evidence .

But what if there wasn't any evidence?



If there was no evidence, then it was useless to press charges .

Hence, long before things developed, Wu Yuanji had already disposed of the final person, Liu Yi – he was sure it had been flawless and without the slightest error .

That was right, it was Wu Yuanji who killed Liu Yi – but Liu Yi was the only one he murdered . As for the others who had died before Liu Yi, it wasn't Wu Yuanji who did it; he had just copied that person's MO and gotten rid of Liu Yi without leaving any evidence behind, and all the unfavorable evidence now pointed to Father Zheng .

Liu Yi was dead .

What other ruling could there be for this case? What new evidence could the prosecution bring to the table?

He smirked .

It was at that moment that Gao Tian stood up . He turned to Chief Judge Liang Xin and all the members of the jury, and gave them a deep bow . "Chief Judge Liang Xin, members of the jury: I now call a new witness to the stand!"

At these words, everyone present was utterly shocked .

There was actually another witness?Refers to PhD holder and actor Zhai Tianlin, who was accused of plagiarising another journal article for his own paper .
