"Even if you want me to appeal for you, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you." He Mingqian handed Zhao Gui a cigarette, "You said it yourself, Xu Baohan is biased towards the murderer of your son. Xu Baohan just has to liaise with the relevant parties during the second trial, and you won't be able to help your son. You don't understand how complicated this industry is."

Zhao Gui was shocked, he took the cigarette and started cursing, "Son of a b*tch, I knew that Xu is bullying poor people like us. What do you think we should do then? If it really doesn't work out, my wife and I will carry my son's photo and go to the entrance of the courtyard to cause a ruckus."

He Mingqian smiled, "You dare to cause a ruckus? I admire you. The last person who caused a ruckus hasn't come out of jail yet. Of course, you aren't afraid but the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for you. You don't want the second trial, so the only way is to cause a ruckus and attract the attention of the media. Who doesn't know that such a person is embezzling and accepting bribes? When the time comes, the higher authority will personally investigate him. When that time comes, your son's case will have a chance."

"That makes sense," Zhao Gui's eyes lit up. "Then how can I not get caught?"

"Create a suicide scene," He Mingqian took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Every time there is a suicide, nothing has happened yet. The fire department has already filled the air cushion below. Don't you see that the workers at the construction site are all like this at the end of the year?"

"That's a good idea," Zhao Gui couldn't stop praising him. "But why are you so helpful? You also have a grudge with that Xu guy?"

"Yes," He Mingqian nodded and smiled bitterly. "Not only did he use his power and influence to steal my girlfriend, he also causes me to lose my reputation. I might not be able to become a lawyer very soon and I might even go to jail."

Zhao Gui suddenly understood. "That son of a b*tch."

"There's nothing I can do," He Mingqian sighed. "In any case, this is just my opinion. Whether you want to implement it or not is up to you. I just feel that your son's death is a pity."

"That's right, the murderer must be punished," Zhao Gui nodded his head vigorously.

…

In the evening, just as Xu Baohan was about to get off work after writing the verdict, there was suddenly a commotion outside the window.

He didn't pay much attention to it. Just as he was texting An Lan, Su Run rushed in from outside. "Chief Judge, Zhao Gui is committing suicide upstairs."

Xu Baohan's eyes darkened. "Why is he upstairs? I thought he wasn't allowed to come in."

"I don't know, maybe he climbed over a wall somewhere," Su Run smiled bitterly, "He's shouting on the radio, causing a huge commotion. I think even the reporters have been alerted. As you know, in some public trials, there will always be reporters who don't have any news coming over. No matter what, you have to go up and take a look."

"Have you notified the fire department?"

"I think they're on their way," Su Run said. "No matter what, we still have to persuade him. Although Zhao Gui might be putting on an act to force you, it'll be troublesome if he really jumps off the building."

When Xu Baohan went up to the top floor with a dark expression, there were already many people there.

Zhao Gui stood at the edge of the building, not allowing anyone to get close. No one else dared to go over for fear of provoking him.

Lawyer Zhao, who had been trying to persuade others, quickly came over and whispered, "Old Xu, he's standing in a blind spot. It's not appropriate to send someone over to pull him down. Besides, the place he's standing at is too dangerous. You have to stabilize him a little. Even a fireman's air cushion takes some time."

"I know," Xu Baohan nodded and walked over.

Zhao Gui shouted, "Don't come over. If you come any closer, I'll jump down."
