On October 14, Xu Chanhao, who was filming on the banks of the Namhan River, rushed back to Seoul because of a phone call from Cha Shulan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although Jiang Dikui was angry at this irresponsible behavior and repeatedly disrupted the filming schedule, because of the incident itself, he and the other members of the crew reached an understanding of Xu Canhao and supported the trip. The director postponed Seo Canhao's scene, and was determined to finish filming the war scenes and some scenes that did not require Seo Canhao to appear before the winter, waiting for the next year to shoot Seo Canhao's part.

"Why didn't you mention it to me at the time?" Xu Canhao rushed to the tarmac while talking to Che Shulan.

"You were recording an album at the time, can you listen to things?" Che Shulan was a little dissatisfied with Xu Canhao's questioning tone, and unceremoniously pushed back the words. Besides, the company was very busy during that time, and although the matter was in a uproar, it disappeared after the public trial. We have no way to find the person directly involved, and we have no clue how to help or how to do it. We are a public welfare company, not a charity, but responsible to investors. At that time, when profitability was not guaranteed, the company had no spare energy to do things that could neither make a profit nor recover costs, so no one followed up on that matter. Faced with Che Shulan's almost bitter explanation, Xu Canhao admitted that he had nothing to say.

"Forget it, hang up. If you want to get on the plane, let's talk about it when you get there. Xu Canhao had already heard the roar of the helicopter, and he no longer dwelled on what had happened in the past. After hanging up the phone, under the guidance of Li Dongxu, he stepped on the return plane.

1:50 p.m., Yeouido Blue Lotus, Office of the President of e-life.

"This is lawyer Park Woo-ki." After Xu Canhao and his entourage came in, Che Shulan greeted him and introduced him.

"Hello, Mr. Park. No, it doesn't have to be like this. I know a little bit about the situation, so let's get down to business. Xu Canhao stretched out his hand to stop the salute of a rights defender who is actually thirty-five years old this year, but looks like he is in his fifties, with gray hair and a withered appearance. Do you want us to help the children and free the remaining children at INHWA? The lawyer may have been a little excited, so much so that he coughed repeatedly, and Xu Canhao hurriedly handed him the tea on the coffee table.

"I'm sorry, it's rude to come here like this." An assistant stepped forward to refill his water and handed him a tissue. "Thank you. Alas~ I can't think about it anymore. dragged this indisputable body, had to take care of two children, and had to run around appealing. Living on the help of other well-wishers every day, if I leave, what will these two children do? Park Woo-ki's eyes turned red as he spoke.

"Is it late?" Xu Canhao quietly asked Che Shulan beside him. Seeing that the other party nodded regretfully, he was silent.

"Xu Chanhaoxi! Can I trust you? Park Woo-ki suddenly got up and grabbed Seo Chan-ho's hand, knelt on the coffee table, and said in an almost mournful tone.

"Lawyer Park, please rest assured. Since you've found us, we're sure to help. Xu Chanhao used his eyes to stop Lee Dong-wook, who was about to come forward, and at the same time softly comforted Park Woo-gi and helped him sit down.

"Were you present when Mr. Han died, or did he leave any evidence?" After Mr. Park's mood stabilized, Cui Bin (who not only has a first-class accountant qualification certificate, but also a second-level lawyer qualification certificate) arrived with e-life legal counsel and began to ask the doctor some key points about the matter.

Park Woo-ki thought for a while and said, "No." But a few days before the incident, he told me to be careful when I went out. I think he may have received some kind of threatening message. ”

"I heard there's another Dr. Kim running for this?" Xu Canhao asked.

"Yes, he is now taking care of those two children in Gwangju. Actually, I've brought all the relevant information with me this time. There are appeal materials, video backup of the incident, records of the trial that year, injury examination reports, etc., as well as the diary records of me and Mr. Han. Lawyer Park said, taking the old hiking bag from behind him. It looked quite heavy, because it seemed very laborious when he lifted it. "It's all the evidence, it's more important than my life." Park Woo-ki didn't give them something immediately, but stroked the baby on his knees with his trembling hands. "Some of the information may be incomplete, but... It's all people like us who are doing a good job and giving their lives to snatch it back. Eventually, Mr. Park opened the backpack and handed it to Choi. And Cui Bin also took it with both hands and solemnly took it.

Xu Canhao stood up and saluted the fighter who dared to face his conscience. "Rest assured, I will make these ugly crimes public, and punish those who act like cattle and who voluntarily blind their consciences." As he spoke, he looked at Cui Bin and the others who were taking out the information and asked, "Do you have anything else to ask?" ”

"Let's talk about it when we're done with that." Cui Bin nodded at Lawyer Park, who didn't know if it was a junior or a senior.

"Alright, Mr. Park, we're here today. You've come from Gwangju and you're sick, so I'll have someone arrange for you to be hospitalized to recuperate. Xu Canhao stretched out his right hand to shake hands with the lawyer and say goodbye.

"I don't care, please take good care of them. Please~" After Park Woo-ki finished speaking, he bowed to everyone present.

"Don't worry, I have sent someone to pick up Dr. Jin and the child, and please call home and tell me." Xu Chanhao motioned for Lee Dong Wook to send someone to take Lawyer Park to the hospital, and after they left, he took Cui Bin and the others to the conference room.

"President, we have seen the trial materials at that time. Based on the circumstances and evidence at the time, the judge did not favor the defendant too much. After Cui Bin and the other two lawyers sorted out the materials, they first checked the records of the original local trial process and found no major miscarriage of justice.

"Does that sound like a word!? That kind of scum has only been sentenced for a year, and you actually say that there is no favoritism?! Xu Canhao read the victim's child's self-report, and the assistant's photos of the victim and the photos of the injury examination posted on the white blackboard made him angry.

"It's... According to the content of our constitution and criminal law, the three defendants can only be sentenced to a maximum of three to five years in prison. Considering that he has truly made many contributions to society, the sentence is indeed lenient according to Article 472 of the current Constitution. Cui Bin's team of lawyers was also quite helpless, and even felt powerless. In people's moral cognition, although it is not a pity for these people to die, as lawyers, what they swear allegiance to is also the one they rely on, that is, the law on which the state also depends. The contest between conscience and morality, professionalism, and the cornerstone of the country is definitely the most torturing war for people's hearts and humanity.

"Is there no other way? Didn't they kill people again? Can't you, as lawyers, find more evidence to come out?! Xu Canhao propped up the table and shouted almost like a roar.

"President... As a normal person, we also sympathize with these children, and we also have feelings of distress, sadness, and anger. But that's how the law of the country is made, and we can't try to go against it, will that lead to a good outcome? E-Life legal counsel Kim Kwang-dou stood up and said.

"Dio!" Xu Canhao pushed the table up. “fack！” He kicked the chair again and scolded the sky. At the beginning, he regarded the contribution sentencing clause as a gold medal for avoiding death, but now he can't help but loudly denounce the meaning of its existence and the injustice to the disadvantaged.

Jin Guangdou shook his head and sat down helplessly. Continue discussions with other lawyers, or look through the diaries of several of the activists in question.

"Dongxu, come here." After Xu Canhao finally calmed down, he waved his hand to call Li Dongxu.

“nae。” Li Dongxu, who had been guarding the door of the conference room, trotted to him.

"You go to Yang Sheng and wait for him to pick him up after work. Also, if Kim Young-sook is okay, please invite her to come too. Xu Canhao explained. He does not have the background of a big conglomerate, a big chaebol, and can install people in various government departments. Therefore, I can only rely on my old classmates. (As mentioned earlier, Kim Young-sook's father, Kim Neng-hwan, is the presiding judge of the Seoul District Court.) In June this year, Father Jin was promoted to the rank of justice of the court and is likely to become the next chairman of the Central Election Commission. ）

6:17 p.m. Jin Yang and the others arrived at the Qinglian Pavilion.

"I can ask my seniors to look into this, but I'm not sure if I can do it. Because, according to the information, the defendant has a relationship with the Gwangju City Hall and the Seoul Public Prosecutor's Office..."Yang Sheng's meaning is self-evident, he is just a rookie who has just entered the procuratorate, and Xu Canhao does not expect much from him at all.

"I understand, do as much as you can, don't embarrass yourself." Xu Canhao said to him.

"This kind of scum deserves life imprisonment! To live in this world is to be ashamed of them! Kim Young-sook looked at the photos and shouted indignantly.

"Yingshu, my uncle is now a justice, and it is obviously not in accordance with the rules for us to go directly to him like this. Moreover, he does not have this function. So, I thought... Please Uncle can give us a little advice so that these people can't get around the commutation level. At the same time, I hope that my uncle can give some news to the prosecutor's office through his relationship, so that they can reopen the case for investigation. There are several murders involved, and there is no way to establish the evidence of the crime based on the information we have at hand. Children who are suffering, or who are still suffering, are in danger at all times..."

"I see, I'll tell my father. Prepare some copies of the materials for me, so that I can show them to my father. Jin Yingshu didn't wait for Xu Canhao to finish speaking, and bluntly said that she would do her best to help.

"Thank you." As he spoke, Xu Canhao asked Cui Bin to prepare the necessary materials and evidence, and handed them to the assistant to back up and print.

"Have you seen any of these tapes?" Yang Sheng picked up the three black boxes stacked on the table, with stickers indicating the time and contents on them.

"Not yet. It took an afternoon just to sort out the information. Xu Canhao stepped forward, took a box at random, and put it in the projector. It was already dark, there was no need to draw the curtains, the curtains were ready, and everyone was attracted by the light from the camera and looked at the curtain on the wall.

"The certification is valid. The defence is invited to ask questions related to the case..."

"Why is there only sound?" Kim Young-sook asked in a low voice.

"It should be a secret recording, a closed trial." Xu Canhao tilted his head to explain to her.

"Who took off your clothes and hurt you?" This should be a matter for the plaintiff's lawyer.

"All three of them." Paraphrasing from an on-site interpreter.

"How many times?"

"Many, many, many."

"Remember when it started?"

"Third grade starts." ......

This recording recorded the conversations of the three court trials, and although the effect was not very good, it still made those present feel worried. Especially when the final verdict was announced, the children, who could not speak or listen, screamed silently from their throats, from their chests, and from their hearts, and anxiously and unwillingly complained about the brutes who were smiling and congratulating each other. That feeling of powerlessness and incompetence is like tearing everyone's heart and making people's hearts ache.

Kim Young-sook wept silently. Xu Canhao almost crushed the cup. Li Dongxu clenched his fists all the time, and couldn't help but scold during the period: "West Bar Seyi..."

"Let's replace the next one." The recording has ended, but no one has spoken or moved. Xu Canhao had no choice but to open his mouth and ask the assistant to change his belt.

This is a videotape, and it looks like a silent black-and-white video recorded by surveillance. However, the content inside is really outrageous, and I can't control my emotions.

While the bald old man was playing and tying the little girl to the coffee table and committing violence, there was a knock on the door of the conference room. Li Dongxu thought it was a staff member, and as soon as he opened the door, without waiting for a reaction, three girls came in. Alarmed by the sound, everyone looked at the door, stunned by the three girls.

"Get out! Who let you in! Li Dongxu, you don't even know how to watch the door now?! Xu Can stood up proudly, and his tyrannical tone frightened the little girls' bodies to tremble for no reason.

"oppa~" Xu Xian, who originally wanted to tell his brother about his assessment results in person, brushed his eyes red, and tears poured out uncontrollably.

"Take them out." Xu Canhao heard his sister's trill, and couldn't help but lower his voice. Without waiting for Li Dongxu to step forward, Xu Xian grabbed the door and left. Lim Yoona and Kim Taeyeon were also aggrieved and angry, stomping their feet, waving their hands, and rushing out with Xiaoxian.

"Can't you restrain yourself?" After Jin Yingshu whispered about Xu Canhao, she rushed out and caught up with a few little girls. "Xiaoxian, wait! Yuna, wait a minute! The hallway was filled with the sound of her high heels stomping on the floor. Seeing that Taeyeon grabbed Xiaoxian, Kim Young-sook didn't care about the worry of breaking her feet and rushed to the girls. "You ~ don't get me wrong." Kim Young-sook gasped for breath, trying to calm her heaving chest after running. "Chan-ho is here to protect you... After reading those things, no one will be in a good mood. Do you understand? Alas~ I really should have exercised, I'm going to die. Kim Young-sook said a complete sentence with difficulty, holding her hands on her knees to relieve her breath.

"Protection? What's the matter, Sister Yingshu? Kim Taeyeon, who calmed down first, asked.

After thinking about it, Ms. Jin decided to tell the reason, otherwise she would not be able to explain it clearly. Of course, she wouldn't tell the girls about disgusting things. “...... That's it. So, Chan Hao, I don't want you to see those things, so I'm excited for a while. Can you forgive us, our little angry bag? Kim Young-sook smiled and reached out to wipe away the tears from Xiaoxian's face. But Xiaoxian kept sobbing and sobbing like a hiccup. The eyelashes are wet, the bangs are scattered, and the pear blossoms look like rain, which makes the people around him laugh.

"Uh~!" Still didn't hold back, Xiaoxian couldn't help blushing and turned around and lowered his head.

"Hehe~" The three women laughed out loud when they saw the girl's cute appearance, which made Xiaoxian feel even more embarrassed.

"Hehe, how did you get here?" Kim Young-sook turned her head and asked Yoon-a.

"Uncle said that there is a new restaurant downstairs here, and said that we will eat out at night, and we will come~ But, is there really such a scary school? Why didn't the police arrest those people? "Yes.

"This... I can't tell you all about it. Besides, you don't need to know that stuff and let the adults worry about it, right? "Kim.

“nae。” x3。

"Let's go eat, Chan Hao may be busy for a long time tonight, don't let your uncle wait." Jin Yingshu smiled and watched the girls get on the elevator, and her thoughts scattered for a while: "Is this the so-called fate, and luck?" One is not selectable, one is optional......'
