Episode 38 recap: Guo Lun was acquitted and released.
At that time, Zheng Duo had been following Kong Ling Ji's car and made threatening phone calls to him. He even recorded the calls as evidence. The car accident happened because Kong Ling Ji had a sudden heart attack. Lao Hou also mentioned that on the surface, this case appears to be a simple car accident. However, with these two pieces of evidence, it is enough to prove that the case is not simple. But Zheng Duo is currently a fugitive. Why would he do so much? There must be someone behind the scenes manipulating things and disguising Zheng Duo's death as a suicide.
The discovery of Zheng Duo's murder by Qi Heng was purely coincidental. Initially, they were trying to find a girl to provide an alibi for Guo Lun, but unexpectedly, they found Zheng Duo's body. Although Zheng Duo is dead, Qi Heng feels that things are not that simple. The superiors also advised Qi Heng not to investigate this matter openly for now.
Luo Huai Gong suddenly received a text message with three exclamation marks. Soon after, Secretary Su called and said it was a message from the higher-ups. The situation was very unfavorable for Luo Huai Gong because he had angered Luo Huai Gong by threatening him to leave evidence. This time, Luo Huai Gong plans to take the initiative and shift all the blame onto Qi Heng's younger brother, creating a situation where Qi Heng is overwhelmed. The Secretary deliberately whispered into Wu Shen Yuan's ear, mentioning that now the public's attention is focused on the government system being compromised. However, due to insufficient evidence, it cannot be confirmed that Guo Lun is behind it.
Under the instigation of Secretary Zi, the police have handed the case over to the prosecutor's office for prosecution. Qi Heng learned about this from Ma La Song. Qi Heng believes that having one lawyer, Zhong Lu, is sufficient. Although Ma La Song is unwilling to give up, he plans to find the doctor who treated the girl as a witness. However, the doctor currently insists that they have forgotten the person's appearance, so Qi Heng advised Ma La Song not to waste time.
Currently, the court is in a passive state. Some people already suspect Qi Heng's involvement, and the court cannot underestimate this matter. However, the current evidence is still not sufficient to prove Guo Lun's involvement, and they cannot close the case just for the sake of closing it.
Lin Ting is unwilling to falsely accuse anyone. Ma La Song and Qi Heng also came over and told Guo Lun not to worry, as they still have to believe in the power of the law.
At first, Lin Ting was pressured by the superiors to harshly punish Guo Lun. However, Lin Ting didn't want to do something against her own conscience. In the end, based on all the evidence, Guo Lun was released in court due to insufficient evidence. Qi Heng and his group were very happy. They were grateful for the help of Lawyer Zhong. However, Luo Huai Gong didn't expect Guo Lun to be released. Things didn't go in the direction he wanted, and he was very angry.
Qi Heng rushed home to cook and prepare to welcome Guo Lun. Ma La Song quickly returned with Guo Lun. Guo Lun thanked his brother-in-law for everything he had done. Soon, a group of reporters arrived at the courthouse and surrounded Lin Ting, asking for information. Lin Ting's husband quickly arrived and took her away. Lin Ting knew that she had done the right thing, but she might lose her job because of it. Nevertheless, her husband fully supported her.
Naturally, some were happy while others were worried. Actually, Luo Huai Gong no longer had control over the situation. The dean intentionally chose Lin Ting because he knew she was a principled person who would handle the situation well. Guo Lun and others at home were discussing how to clear their names. They needed to find the girl they saved as evidence.
Zhang Yan Jun still wanted to prosecute Guo Lun. He also brought people he trusted, but they were not skilled in handling this type of case. Soon, Guo Lun was summoned by the Intermediate People's Court. Qi Heng anticipated this, but he wasn't afraid and welcomed it.
Soon, Qi Heng received a summon from the court because he was one of the eyewitnesses at the scene of Zheng Duo's case. He went to the police station for questioning. Lao Hou still wanted to see if they had missed anything. Qi Heng noticed that there was a gap of more than 20 days between the incidents involving Zheng Duo and Kong Ling Ji. This meant that someone had been delivering meals to Zheng Duo. They also noticed something off about Wang Peng. The packed meals didn't seem like they were for one person. After some investigation, Qi Heng found out that Wang Peng is currently working at Luo Huai Gong's company.
