Xu Yuan is a feared criminal defense lawyer in the industry. He is calm, sharp and unreasonable. He only recognizes evidence and does not recognize human feelings. No matter how difficult the case is in his hands, he can fight his way out in court.
Li Feifei is a new clerk who has just entered the industry. She is passionate, kind-hearted and soft-hearted. She firmly believes that good and evil will be rewarded and sins deserve what they deserve. She most dislikes Xu Yuan's strong defense for "evil people".
A murder case that shocked the whole city. The evidence was conclusive and public opinion called for murder. Everyone believed that the defendant was unpardonable. Only Xu Yuan insisted on taking over the defense. The person responsible for recording and assisting the trial was Li Feifei, who opposed him at every turn.
In the courtroom, he was fierce with his words and pressed forward step by step;
When getting along in court, she is upright and honest, and often contradicts her.
She called him cold-blooded, and he thought she was naive;
She wants to punish crimes severely, and he wants to abide by the procedures.
In repeated confrontations, run-ins, case investigations, and evidence collection, Li Feifei gradually discovered that what Xu Yuan argued for was never "exoneration," but the truth that was covered up, the doubts that were ignored, and the justice that was overwhelmed by emotions. And even though he seemed indifferent, he had already been quietly moved by her sincerity and persistence.
Crime and punishment are tit for tat;
Dharma and emotion are repeatedly pulled apart,
He and her went from being incompatible with each other to standing side by side.
When the truth finally came out, when the gavel fell, they finally stood by one sentence together:
The crime must be clearly determined and the defense must be clear. Before the law, no kind of justice can end in a hasty manner.
