[Judicial suspense + parallel world + evidence trial + institutional growth + emotional restraint]
Seven days after he sentenced a criminal who abducted nine children to death, 38-year-old criminal judge Ji Heng died in a sudden car accident.
When he opened his eyes again, he became the 23-year-old young master of the Ji family in the parallel world. His grandfather is a leading legal scholar, his father is in charge of an industrial group, and his mother is involved in legislative consultation. Everyone thought that he could use the Ji family's door to reach heaven in one step.
Ji Heng re-entered the recruitment process and started as a judge's assistant.
The child has been missing for sixteen years. Everyone knows who took him away, but because the "purpose of betrayal" cannot be proven, he can only be sentenced to five years;
The father rode a motorcycle and searched for twenty-two years, but the son he found did not want to return to his hometown and did not call him dad;
A birth certificate with authentic numbers, seals, and signatures, but no real birth behind it.
Public opinion wants a harsh sentence, the family wants answers, and interests want the investigation to stop. Ji Heng suppressed the most outrageous conclusions with evidence again and again:
"What I want is a severe sentence in accordance with the law, not illegal revenge."
From an old case to a child identity laundering chain; from a returned law amendment proposal to a system that can respond immediately to disappearances.
In this life, what he wants to impose is not just a severe sentence.
He wants the next child to not have to wait sixteen or twenty-two years before he has the chance to go home.
