36: Netizens were shocked. This lawyer is such a genius!
In the Demon City, Zhou Xinyao had just walked out of the library and was about to return to her dormitory.
Actually, this girl was quite good-looking, but she usually didn't like to dress up much, and she suffered from social anxiety, so she wasn't that eye-catching.
Of course, it was different online. If you looked at the netizen "Night Raid on Widow Village" and then at her uninhibited comments, you would know that this girl was typically cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
Walking among the crowd, Zhou Xinyao pulled out her phone. In this day and age, people couldn't live without their phones.
As soon as she opened it today, Zhou Xinyao discovered that Lawyer Zhou Yun had uploaded a video!
Without any hesitation, "Night Raid Zhou" quickly clicked into the comment section: "You finally uploaded a video after so many days. What are you doing? Why are you so slow? Hurry up and update, or else I'll go on a Night Raid on you one of these days!"
It was the old internet rule:urge (urge) first, then watch.
After urging for an update, Zhou Xinyao finally started watching the video. It had to be said that the title was quite interesting: could obstructing official duties actually be legitimate self-defense?
Clicking into the video, a calm voice quickly sounded: "Hello everyone, I am Lawyer Zhou Yun..."
Hearing this voice, Zhou Xinyao secretly thought: "I saw his picture before, and this guy is quite handsome. I don't know why he sounds a bit like my dad when he talks..."
It wasn't about the timbre of his voice, but mainly his speaking style; it really resembled someone her dad's age.
However, Zhou Xinyao quickly cast these thoughts aside, because what Lawyer Zhou Yun said in the video was exactly the case from his previous live broadcast!
"Some people said I hired actors for effect. Here I want to clarify, I did not hire actors, the case is absolutely authentic, as you can see, I have already finished it."
"Anyone who watched my live broadcast that time should know that this old man's son was sentenced for obstructing official duties because he injured three temporary workers during a forced demolition, and now he wants to be acquitted."
"So, how did I do it..."
Then, Zhou Xinyao watched the step-by-step process: administrative litigation to confirm illegality, and then using that to initiate criminal litigation. It was truly a step-by-step strategy, with every step done extremely solidly!
Yes, solid!
It was extremely difficult to initiate a retrial for ordinary criminal cases, but by doing this, he directly created a new piece of evidence!
Moreover, this new evidence was of a particularly strong probative value!
A Court's judgment, is that not evidence?
Although she had heard about these contents before, seeing Lawyer Zhou Yun actually accomplish it in reality, Zhou Xinyao was still stunned.
Especially when she saw the acquittal and the three generations of the family embracing and crying, she felt a sense of profound emotion.
And here, Zhou Yun added a sentence: "Watching them, I suddenly realized, this is probably the meaning of the legal profession."
That's right, was the man in the video wrong to protect his house from being demolished? No, he wasn't!
Because the relevant departments had not even invited a third-party agency to assess the value of the house, they just gave a sum of money, and it was normal for the people not to agree.
These people even wanted to fabricate other charges, but unexpectedly, Lawyer Zhou came up with the concept of "legitimate self-defense"!
Amazing, this was truly amazing!
Zhou Xinyao thought the video should end here, after all, the other party's request was for an acquittal, and now he had been acquitted.
But then she saw the progress bar at the end and was a bit puzzled. It was still so long, what content could it be?
Looking further, Zhou Xinyao was directly dumbfounded.
"State compensation... I can think of that. Revoking the criminal settlement agreement due to a significant misunderstanding? And suing the urban management bureau and those three people to demand compensation from them? Holy crap..."
In fact, not only Zhou Xinyao was dumbfounded, but other viewers were equally stunned when they saw this.
"Long overdue" (Late Arrival): What a genius, this is too cunning, who could even think of all this?
"I like the second dimension" (Loves Anime): Don't say anything else, getting an acquittal is one thing, but also getting so much money back in return, if I encountered this, I would worship this Lawyer!
"It's going to rain" (It's Going to Rain): Am I the only one who noticed that the previous Court didn't review it carefully at all? Such an obvious procedural issue was directly approved?
In the audience's comments, the vast majority said that this Lawyer was simply a genius, making people's scalps tingle with his unconventional approach.
And another part of the people launched attacks on Dashan County Court.
Administrative organs were one thing; sometimes, for political achievements... right, everyone understood.
But you are a judicial organ, you are responsible for reviewing, and such an obvious violation, you just didn't find it?
Because you directly approved it, it led to the forced demolition, and then the "one against three" incident occurred, and the party involved was sentenced to three years.
This time, Zhou Xinyao didn't even need to invest money; the video directly went viral!
This hot topic was truly full of content: "forced demolition," "obstructing official duties," "legitimate self-defense"—it could be said that every word could attract people's attention.
Not to mention so many words together.
And the key was that many netizens only learned after watching the video that the act of demolition required compensation first, then demolition!
Some netizens said that although they had been involved in demolitions before, they didn't know any of this; they just did whatever the other party told them to do and didn't think about anything else.
Now it seemed that there were many problems in many demolitions!
The video's popularity exploded, and on top of this explosion, Zhou Xinyao still invested money.
She just felt that more people needed to see such a good video, and furthermore, certain units in the video absolutely had to be punished!
In such an atmosphere, the entire video directly rushed onto the trending topics!
The name Zhou Yun was once again known by many netizens.
Mainly because his operations in the video were simply too audacious; he managed to make a case that was completely impossible to be acquitted into a possibility.
As a result, many netizens gave him a nickname: the Genius Lawyer.
Of course, even more netizens directly attacked Dashan County and even Ning City.
Poor Dashan County, such a poor small county that few people knew about before, ended up trending because of the backlash this time.
Dashan County, Judge Zhang watched his phone, sweating profusely.
Although Zhou Yun had caused a stir before, in a small place, many things could actually be suppressed.
So he wasn't dealt with, and Chai Yaoyang from the acquisition office was also fine.
But now, with the video's immense popularity, it was hard to say.
The official media of Ning City were even attacked so much that they closed their comment sections.
Judge Zhang couldn't understand, and Chai Yaoyang, including Lao Mingcheng, also couldn't understand why Zhou Yun would do this!
He had clearly already completed the case, so why did he have to post it online!
Public opinion supervision, that's something you post online only when things can't be done, right? Now it was clearly done, and done so well.
But now, it was too late to say anything.
At the acquisition office, Chai Yaoyang dialed a number; he planned to talk to his connections.
"Hello..."
"Director Chai, I'm busy right now, we'll talk later."
Dudu-du, the dial tone on the phone stunned Chai Yaoyang. He quickly called other numbers, but some people would still say something, while others simply didn't answer.
Just as Chai Yaoyang was wondering what to do, the office door was pushed open.
"You're Chai Yaoyang, right? We're from the Discipline Inspection Department, come with us!"
Bang! Chai Yaoyang slumped onto his chair, his face ashen.
With things having developed to this point, it could be said that no one could do anything; Dashan County had to deal with a few people.
And he, the head of the acquisition office, was the most suitable candidate...
So, as netizens continued to vent, they found that Dashan County responded incredibly quickly, issuing a notice within a few hours.
"Chai Yaoyang, Director of the Acquisition Office, has been dismissed and is under investigation by the Discipline Inspection Department..."
"The presiding Judge responsible for the review is also currently under investigation, and subsequent results will be announced..."
Jinghai City Station, Zhou Yun stretched, having had a good sleep on the train. His phone was almost out of battery, and he was worried he wouldn't be able to call a taxi, so he hadn't played on his phone at all.
He went all the way home and charged his phone. Only then did Zhou Yun open Douyin, and he was immediately stunned.
Especially when he saw that the housing acquisition office and the Court Judge in Dashan County were both being investigated and dealt with, he was even more dumbfounded.
"Holy crap, I think I lit a fire, and this fire burned a bit too big..."
