"People are already dead; what significance does it have to reveal it now?" Lawyer Liu replied coldly.
"I care more about how to make the living better off," she added.
Her response shocked everyone present.
Especially Officer Li and another character, who were perplexed by Lawyer Liu's indifference and depth of character.
They realized that Lawyer Liu might have known about Wu Jiajia's suffering at the hands of Yao Qiang long ago.
Yet she had remained silent, choosing not to expose the truth in a timely manner.
Instead, she opted to use this information to achieve her own goals.
Lawyer Liu further explained that she initially thought she would receive a light sentence.
However, she was now facing ten years in prison.
Consequently, she decided to expose Yao Qiang as leverage for a reduced sentence.
She planned to use the secrets Wu Jiajia had confided in her to blackmail Yao Qiang after her release.
Part of the money would be set aside to compensate Wu Jiajia's parents.
During the second trial, she did not mention the video evidence.
She believed that doing so would be more beneficial for her plan.
If she handed over the video to the police beforehand, Yao Qiang would be convicted, and she would lose her opportunity to extort him.
She chose to keep this crucial evidence for use at the appropriate moment.
Lawyer Liu's selfish behavior infuriated Officer Li.
Yet he could not blame her.
After all, everyone has the right to pursue their own interests.
Officer Li realized that this lawsuit was far more complex than he had imagined.
It involved multiple layers of humanity, morality, and interests.
He began to reflect on his views and handling of the case.
He decided to re-examine the case, ensuring that every detail received fair treatment.
And he would do his best to seek justice for the victim.
He thanked Lawyer Liu for her cooperation and wished her smooth sailing in her future endeavors.
He believed that as long as one upheld justice, evil could surely be overcome.
In the detention center, Officer Li questioned Qin Feng about why he hadn't revealed Yao Qiang's crimes during the second trial.
Qin Feng coldly replied that the man was already dead; what was the point of making it public now?
It would be better to find a way to make life easier for those still living.
This left Officer Li in shock.
Qin Feng continued to explain, originally thinking she would receive a light sentence.
Instead, she faced ten years in prison.
As a result, Qin Feng decided to expose Yao Qiang, using it as leverage for a reduced sentence.
She planned to use the secrets told to her by Wu Jiajia to blackmail Yao Qiang after her release.
Additionally, she intended to use part of the money to compensate Wu Jiajia's parents.
During the second court hearing, she did not mention the video evidence.
Qin Feng believed that withholding this information would better serve her plans.
If she handed over the video to the police early, Yao Qiang would be convicted, and she would lose her chance to extort him.
Thus, she chose to keep this crucial evidence for the right moment.
Her selfish actions infuriated Officer Li.
However, he could not blame her.
Everyone has the right to pursue their own interests.
Officer Li realized that this case was far more complicated than he had imagined, involving multiple layers of human nature, morality, and interests.
He began to reflect on his views and handling of the case.
He decided to reevaluate the case, ensuring that every detail received fair treatment.
And to seek justice for the victims as much as possible.
He thanked me for my cooperation and wished me smooth sailing on my future path.
He believed that as long as one persisted in seeking justice, evil could surely be overcome.
However, I did not agree with Officer Li's perspective.
I felt that he had been morally constrained by superficial ideals.
True justice should be about providing the victims with the compensation they deserve.
Not merely about bringing the criminals to justice.
I explained to Officer Li that what Wu Jiajia truly hoped for was not just punishment for Yao Qiang.
But rather, that her family could receive financial compensation.
