Episode 5 recap: Zheng Duo is suspected of having intermittent mental illness.
Soon, Luo Huaigong learned through his police informants that Qi Heng and his team were still investigating the case of the fishing boat. Qi Heng was discussing the possibility that someone had bribed Zheng Duo. Luo Huaigong never expected that Qi Heng, this persistent person, would continue to focus on this matter. Today, Guo Lun came to the amusement park, and Marathon also arrived. In fact, when Guo Lun was at the amusement park years ago, he personally witnessed his sister being taken away by someone, and that person was actually Zheng Duo.
Luo Huaigong and his secretary found a lawyer and instructed him to handle this matter properly. In the end, Zheng Duo could only be released without guilt. It was still possible to ensure this before, but now, due to the case being reinvestigated, many decisions could not be made arbitrarily. They had no choice but to find a doctor and hope that he could provide proof of Zheng Duo's intermittent mental illness. However, the doctor was unwilling, so the lawyer resorted to various means to threaten him. He even knew about the doctor's relationship with a female student. The doctor had no choice but to agree in order to protect his reputation.
Soon, the court received an opinion letter from the prosecutor's office stating that Qi Heng had intermittent mental illness, aiming to prove that Zheng Duo killed someone while in bed due to a mental illness episode. During the trial in the courtroom, the lawyer also called Qi Heng as a witness and stated that it was possible for Zheng Duo to have a mental episode on the ship. After all, he had been abused by his father since childhood, and if subjected to certain external stimuli, his condition might relapse. With the evidence from the psychiatrist, it could be said that the chances of Zheng Duo being acquitted in the entire case were very high.
However, the defense also presented their own opinions, stating that it was not absolute that Zheng Duo would have an episode, but only a possibility. Seizing this opening, the prosecutor pointed out that it could not be 100% confirmed that Zheng Duo had an episode when Wang Guiping fell to the ground. Soon, Qi Heng and his team carefully examined the expert report and found flaws. It couldn't definitively prove that Zheng Duo had a mental illness.
Niu Geng also received a whistleblower letter, revealing that the doctor hired by the lawyer had confessed to the court on his own. As a doctor with professional ethics, he was unwilling to harm anyone and would not provide a false report. Therefore, he stated that this report had a certain degree of feasibility.
Soon, the police conducted another psychiatric evaluation with Zheng Duo. Zheng Duo originally thought he could easily evade hypnosis, but he didn't expect the doctor to hypnotize him through other means. After the evaluation, it was discovered that Zheng Duo did not have intermittent mental illness.
The prosecution also provided an opinion, indicating that Zheng Duo was likely to have consciously carried out the second assassination of Wang Guiping. Now, there were two examination reports presented in court, but people were more inclined to believe the second one, considering that the doctor from the first examination had reported issues with their own report. The situation was very unfavorable for Zheng Duo. The lawyer thought of seeking support from some internet celebrities to voice out for Zheng Duo.
Secretary Su took Aunt Ling to an exhibition, and they happened to learn from their conversation that the two antique vases from the previous incident were potentially worth millions. When they got off the car, Secretary Su once again tried to give the antique vases to Aunt Ling, but she refused once more, stating that her husband's status did not allow her to accept such expensive gifts. Thus, the gift-giving plan fell through again.
In fact, the antique vases that Secretary Su gave to Aunt Ling were high-quality imitations. He just wanted to win her over, but he didn't expect her to refuse again. Soon, numerous netizens on the internet started interviewing Zheng Duo's foster father, who appeared very pitiful and expressed regret for mistreating Zheng Duo in his childhood. He also said that he wanted Zheng Duo to be acquitted. The public opinion was shifting in favor of Zheng Duo. Now, the biggest test was the court.
Luo Huaigong visited Wu Shenyuan's home, and coincidentally, the news about the Zheng Duo case was being aired on TV. Aunt Ling came over and turned off the television directly. In fact, Luo Huaigong's visit was to plead for Zheng Duo, stating that he was a pitiful person. Wu Shenyuan reminded him that the court's surname was "the people," and everything should be based on the people's interests. Luo Huaigong deliberately mentioned Qi Heng's strong background, but unexpectedly, Wu Shenyuan said that Qi Heng came on his own accord, and Luo Huaigong didn't need to worry about how he would handle the case, whether it would be good or bad.
