Chapter 4 Task Requirements

Mo Er silently remained quiet, showing no intention of speaking

Gu Zheng asked Danton

Restoring one's innocence and reputation is not merely a matter of winning a lawsuit

In a quiet atmosphere, Gu Zheng did not speak rashly; there were too many victims in legal aid who were unwilling to open their hearts. Without complete assurance, he had to cautiously probe.

Whether it is the sclera or Mohr's hands, both appear very clean

How did you guess that?

Even if Moore wins the lawsuit and the prosecution by the public prosecutor's office is withdrawn, this does not imply that Moore is innocent

Gu Zhengqi looked at Danton with confusion, not understanding what his recent outburst of shouting meant

Moore appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with slightly sunken eye sockets and an aura of subtle despondency about him. Rather than evoking feelings of aversion, he exuded a certain cult-like charm.

Gu Zhengzheng felt quite good about herself, but when interrupted by Danton, she said irritably: "He owes you; you should ask him for it yourself"

Moore was apprehended in the assistance room of the church, and the informant was his priest

Moore looked at him with a puzzled expression, his deep blue eyes gazing at Gu Zheng, and then he casually extended his hand after the book.

He was ultimately accepted by the church and was allowed to live for free in the assistance housing provided by the church. In addition to working, he was also required to provide labor for church activities without charge.

That is to say, the person who falsely accused Moore stood before the residents of the neighborhood and personally admitted to having defamed Moore

What a scam!

To be honest, the pressure on him from being a graduate of Harvard Law School and having experience at Pearson Law Firm is truly immense

This is Gu Zheng's first impression

Can you show me your hand

Pure as he is, how could he possibly think in that direction, even if he indeed perceives a certain submissive quality in Mo Er

Gu Zheng did not take it; instead, he let Mo Er catch it, and then he took it from Mo Er's hand: "Alright, I will take over your commission. From now on, our conversation will be protected by attorney-client privilege!"

Moore still did not speak, but his expression had changed more than at any time since he entered, even more dramatically than when he heard that he might have to serve over 15 years in prison

The principle of presumption of innocence can only indicate that the evidence for convicting Moore is insufficient

Gu Zheng calmly returned to his original position, exchanged a glance with Mo He and Tushuer, and slowly said: "It is best to be quick; I believe there are some things that should not be revealed to Denton."

This subtle distinction may be minor, but for Gu Zheng, who has personally experienced the pains of life, it is not difficult to discern

Therefore, even though Gu Zheng had no superior-subordinate relationship with him, he still followed Gu Zheng with a sycophantic expression on his face

If he confirms that Moore is indeed a drug addict, then turning around and leaving Denton, who is clearly a waste, with Moore seems to be a very good option

Gu Zheng keenly observed that this indifference was not the kind of sensory numbness associated with an addict, but rather an emotional numbness

Indeed, a system that does not exploit its host is not a good system

You ... ... you ... ... you all ... ...

At that moment, he looked down and saw a line of text on Denton's notes. A flash of inspiration struck him, and he suddenly asked, "It was your priest, wasn't it? The one who framed you was your priest, wasn't it?"

Moreover, his life has come to an end, while Gu Zheng is just beginning; there is still the possibility of being promoted to partner, becoming a named partner, or even establishing a new firm on his own.

Although Denton was somewhat despondent, he had already become accustomed to the legal aid fund subsidy from m.hetushu.com. When it came to his work, he was methodical and soon managed to sort everything out.

Denton felt somewhat puzzled, yet did not raise the issue immediately.

Denton reached into his pocket and pulled out a one-dollar bill

However, thinking about the upcoming conversation with Moore, he handed the one dollar to Denton and said, "Help me buy a cup of coffee, and the rest is yours"

From the moment Mo Er entered, Gu Zheng had been observing him closely

The common symptoms of addiction, such as sores, tremors, and traces of blood, were completely absent. This finally gave Gu Zheng the determination to proceed, indicating that the system had indeed not assigned him a troublesome task.

Gu Zheng, however, did not admit to it; he had not forgotten that Mo Er could possibly be a drug addict

He stood behind Denton, silent, observing Moore while listening to his communication with Denton

Very clean, this is Gu Zheng's third impression

It is best for this person to be someone with a good reputation within the community; otherwise, they will not be recognized by the residents of the neighborhood

There is no way around it; the purpose of punishment is to educate and prevent. For those who repeatedly refuse to reform, their crimes are generally subject to more severe judgment

Gu Zheng was also speechless in his heart; this level of shamelessness is indeed quite remarkable. Even his assistant from back in the day did not have such a demeanor, as assistants are there to work and possess a strong sense of self-respect. This guy, however, has completely abandoned his principles.

Very clear-headed, this is Gu Zheng's second impression

He said, how could Mo Er, this hopelessly unpromising person, possibly know Gu Zheng, such a promising great lawyer, but with Mo Er's appearance, it seems to clarify everything

Gu Zheng approached Mo Er and slowly began to ask.

After a long while, Mo Er asked in a somewhat hoarse voice

Denton looked at the one dollar bill in his hand, wearing an expression that seemed to say, "Are you kidding me?" as he was pushed out the door by Gu Zheng

This is already the third time that Moore has been arrested, and he is still under bail. If he is convicted of this crime, he will face at least fifteen years of imprisonment.

Due to Mohr being arrested twice previously, after being released on bail for the second time, his parents no longer took care of him

Gu Zheng had an impulse to grab the system panel and slam it down hard on the table

This

Usually, he would feel quite pleased to charge 100 dollars per hour, which could be considered a good deal for a big client. However, for someone of Gu Zheng's caliber, the starting rate is at least 2000 dollars per hour

Denton inquired inappropriately, "What about my one dollar?"

The two individuals were brought to an empty room. After waiting for a while, Mo Er was brought in by a police officer, who then removed the handcuffs and left immediately.

Gu Zheng did not rush and began to study the system after receiving the task

If Moore wishes to restore his innocence and reputation, there is only one possibility

Receiving this one dollar, Gu Zheng felt a secret delight within. After watching so many American dramas, he never expected that he would also utter this classic pretentious line from the American lawyer!

This guy is somewhat handsome

Do you have one dollar

Lawyers like him, who rely on subsidies from California's government legal aid fund while taking on some minor cases, are worlds apart from those who serve the wealthiest individuals in the United States, such as those in the most luxurious skyscrapers in New York, catering to Wall Street and similar elites

Moore responded quickly to Denton's question, and after answering, he just sat there in a daze, completely oblivious to the external situation, including Gu Zheng, who clearly should not have been there.

Denton stared at Gu Zheng and Moore with a look of terror, his eyes filled with shock yet also a hint of relief

Restore Mo Er's innocence and rehabilitate his reputation in the neighborhood

Not urgent, it is not the time yet
