Chapter 968 - 424: First Place in the Mock Trial Competition!
The gold content of this pinnacle battle...
Everyone can see it.
Far beyond the mock trials of the previous rounds.
Just in terms of legal terminology, the frequency of occurrence is as high as hundreds of times.
Many are things that these novice learners haven't heard of.
Although they have watched all the videos by Qin Mu.
But...
The popular legal videos made by Qin Mu target the general public, so they use accessible language.
Simple and easy to understand.
But this trial...
Suddenly, they couldn't quite understand it.
Many people even felt like they were listening to heavenly scriptures.
"Zhang Wei should forget it, I feel he is out of his depth, can't keep up with the pace on the field."
"Terrifying, one single 'up' against nine opponents? And it's still balanced?"
"The pace of 'up' is really fast, the other side drank several glasses of water, but 'up' hasn't stopped once."
"I wonder where the final victory will land..."
"..."
As the trial continued.
The netizens were almost muddled watching.
Every time they thought Qin Mu was about to buckle, Qin Mu would find another way, bringing out a whole new criminal law theory to rebut the opponents.
The battle...
Continued unceasingly, becoming more intense.
...
Meanwhile.
Inside the mock courtroom.
"Dong——"
The hammer sounded, and the trial entered the most intense phase of free debate.
Qin Mu took a deep breath.
Picked up the bottle of mineral water beside him, and drank it all.
Then continued to "reason" with the other side.
And Zhang Wei...
Never drank a drop from start to finish.
Just quietly watched the situation on the field, swallowing hard again.
The spit flew all over the field.
He saw everything most clearly.
Even Qin Mu...
Had finished a bottle of mineral water.
While the nine lawyers on the other side...
Each of them had an empty bottle of mineral water placed on their table.
Everyone had finished one.
"Our side believes that the basis for guilt proposed by the opposing prosecutor..."
A lawyer from Shanghai wiped the sweat off his forehead, clenched his teeth, and continued to rebut.
Faced with Qin Mu...
They suddenly had the illusion that they weren't facing just a lawyer.
But an encyclopedia of criminal law.
To be precise.
Not only criminal law, Qin Mu effortlessly and easily referred to laws from other fields, using them as arguments.
Even...
Past penalty cases were pulled out by Qin Mu as evidence to substantiate his accusations.
An indescribable frustration...
Rose in everyone's heart.
To have a lawsuit with someone like this...
Winning is extremely difficult.
In terms of eloquence, Qin Mu was able to challenge nine opponents without being at a disadvantage.
In terms of legal provisions, Qin Mu cited precedents constantly, never leaving the provisions of criminal law.
In terms of evidence, Qin Mu consecutively threw out seven or eight past cases to prove the criminal facts of Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu, and others.
Gradually.
The scales of victory began to tilt.
The previously balanced situation...
Was finally broken.
Qin Mu spoke eloquently, relying on his strong foundation in criminal law and case reserves, began to overwhelm them.
They could only stick to their stance and struggle to support it.
From the audience.
"Brilliant, truly brilliant, but Shanghai's side... seems doomed to lose."
"The defeat of Shanghai's lawyers is not undeserved, this is Qin Mu's true strength right? He not only masters criminal law, but also other legal provisions to such an extent, did he start learning law from the womb?"
"Terrifying, for the first time in my life I admire someone, not even my teacher is such a monster right?"
"He's a walking encyclopedia of criminal law, no, a walking encyclopedia of legal provisions!"
"..."
The watching lawyers all had their eyes wide open.
Their faces are painted with a big "admiration" character.
At this moment.
Qin Mu used his strength to completely win their hearts and convince them.
Imagine.
To achieve such a level as Qin Mu, how much hard work and sweat must be put in behind the scenes.
As gold medal lawyers.
They are well aware of the time it takes.
Very likely...
Even when Qin Mu walks, eats, or goes to the bathroom, he is pondering and memorizing these legal provisions.
...
Two hours later.
After a fierce onsite litigation and debate session.
This mock trial finally came to a close.
The Judgment Chief knocked the gavel.
Glanced at both sides.
After careful discussion by the seven adjudicators, announced: "The court pronounces that Zhang San illegally manufactured counterfeit currency in large amounts, violating Article 172 of the criminal law, convicted of possessing and using counterfeit currency, with severe circumstances, sentenced to ten years in prison."
"Li Si instructed Zhang San to manufacture counterfeit currency, in large amounts, violating Article 172 of the criminal law, convicted of possessing and using counterfeit currency..."
All the verdicts.
Were identical to the sentencing recommendations Qin Mu had accused.
Obviously.
After a series of high-intensity debates, Qin Mu ultimately convinced the collegial panel with his strength.
He won the approval of the majority of panel members.
The sound of the verdict continuously echoed in the simulated courtroom.
The nine lawyers from Shanghai, upon hearing it, showed a downcast expression.
They all bowed their heads one by one.
Although they had already realized this outcome,
Upon hearing the judgment at this moment...
There was still some melancholy and disappointment.
Fortunately, it wasn't long before...
The Judgment Chief announced again: "Now announcing the scores of both sides' performances. Jin City performed outstandingly, fully demonstrating a reasonable application of legal provisions, with a score of 693."
"The Shanghai lawyer team coordinated closely throughout, equally holding their ground, with a stable performance score of 681."
At the defendant's defense lawyer's table,
The nine lawyers from Shanghai were stunned for a moment and looked up one by one.
Instinctively, they looked towards Qin Mu across the way.
693 points!
This score is simply heaven-defying, just seven points short of a perfect score!
What shocked them...
Actually was their own performance score, reaching 681 despite losing.
"Alas, skills are inferior, must concede."
Among the nine,
Someone suddenly sighed, taking the initiative to walk towards Qin Mu.
With relief and a smile on his face.
Expressing congratulations and greetings.
The other eight exchanged glances and gradually followed, offering congratulations to Qin Mu.
This is the final showdown.
Undoubtedly,
Qin Mu, leading Jin City's lawyer team, won first place in this national simulated trial competition.
Their nine people...
Were forced into a dead-end by Qin Mu alone.
"First... really?"
Listening to the congratulations around him, Zhang Wei blinked in bewilderment.
This first place...
Was truly too easy.
He hadn't even exerted effort before it ended.
The opponent was also too vulnerable.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully obtaining first place in the national simulated trial competition, task completion rate 100%."
Qin Mu was about to respond to everyone, suddenly hearing a mechanical voice in his mind.
His eyes slightly brightened.
A look of joy appeared.
Finally.
After so much hard work, he has finally completed this task.
To be honest.
In the last round of the trial, he also felt quite pressured.
The combat ability of the nine in litigation...
Was not weak at all.
If he hadn't prepared in advance by intensively learning various industries' legal provisions and case penalties, it might have been a bit dangerous.
The opponent's performance score was also closely trailing.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for receiving the rewards for this task: 3000 Wish Value points!"
The system's voice followed.
A panel visible only to him floated in mid-air.
An additional 3000 Wish Value points appeared in the backpack.
The system indicated he could make three wishes.
...
At the same time.
In the venue.
In a certain office.
Huang Qinglin and Rao Zhengde closed their computers and exchanged a look.
The level of excitement in the final trial...
Was undoubtedly.
The best of all years.
This was also the original intention of organizing the simulated trial competition, to promote exchanges of litigation skills among lawyers from various places and mutual improvement.
"Didn't expect... Qin Mu really became the first."
Rao Zhengde sighed softly, his expression quite complex.
At the start.
He had the least favorable view of Qin Mu and even thought Qin Mu was just a hollow reputational figure.
Yet, Qin Mu fought to the end and won first place.
"I must say, the luckiest one... is undoubtedly Zhang Wei."
Huang Qinglin shrugged, speaking with an odd expression.
Rao Zhengde: "..."
He paused for a moment.
Thought about it again.
It seemed to be true.
Indeed.
Having strong personal skills is not as good as having a good team to lean on.
Zhang Wei listened throughout and still managed to achieve a first place.
To know.
This honor is awarded to Jin City, not an individual, belonging to the team honor.
Naturally, it includes Zhang Wei.
In other words...
Zhang Wei picked up a national simulated trial competition first-place honor for nothing.
"Cough cough, let's go, it's time to present the award."
After a moment.
Huang Qinglin waved his hand and left the office.
Heading towards the center of the venue.
Preparing for the final segment of this national lawyers' conference, announcing the first place of the simulated trial competition.
He believed.
This first place should not raise any objection.
Jin City deservedly earned it.
