Additionally, the bridesmaid resisted multiple times, expressing her dissent through both words and actions. Given that this occurred against her will, these young people engaged in wedding hazing used violence to forcibly carry out the 'hazing,' and were thus suspected of violent crimes. As long as the defense focused on this, there was still a strong chance of an acquittal.

Meanwhile, he lifted his head, staring at Peng Songyue. He asked curiously, "Who exactly is this Uncle Qin of yours?"

In his memory, there really was no such person.

"I... I don't know his name. The elders in the village told us to call him Uncle Qin, so that's what we call him," Peng Songyue said, shaking her head. "When Song Yun introduced him to us... he only told us to call him Uncle Qin."

"He's very young, only a few years older than us..."

Afterward, she briefly described Qin Mu's appearance.

"Could it be... Qin Mu?" Zhang Wei couldn't help but swallow hard after hearing her description.

Previously, he had always imagined an older man. But what Peng Songyue said made him immediately think of Qin Mu. Only Qin Mu had such profound legal expertise to devise this defense angle.

"Uncle Qin also said that by approaching it from the angle of violent crime, we can build a defense focusing on aspects like the motives for the violent crime and the methods used, and argue that the other party's actions should be classified as a violent crime," Peng Songyue continued. She took out a small notebook and read from it, "Their actions constitute indecent assault. We have evidence like videos, photos, torn clothing, fingerprints, and eyewitness testimonies..."

Qin Mu had explained all these matters before he left yesterday. Afraid she might forget, she had written them down in her notebook.

Zhang Wei's expression grew increasingly bright as he listened.

These defense strategies... he thought. He currently only had a rough idea. But after Peng Songyue's summary, he instantly identified several key defense points. Focusing on the right to unlimited self-defense and the heinous nature of the perpetrators' actions, there was significant room to maneuver.

"Since Qin Mu referred you, I'll take this case." Finally, he agreed to take on the defense.

They had interacted for a long time, and he was very familiar with Qin Mu's character and methods. The case was indeed complicated, but... the bridesmaid's actions deserved legal protection. If even such actions warranted a conviction, then the fairness and justice of the law would be a complete sham!

However... the law, at times, is merely a set of cold statutes. This is why the legal profession is necessary. Through the law, they can defend fairness and justice for more people.

Of course, there were scoundrels among lawyers too. Those who litigate primarily for money were not uncommon; whoever paid more... they would help win the case.

"By the way, are you here this time for bail pending trial?" Zhang Wei looked at the two and continued, "I'll prepare the application materials now, and this afternoon we can go to the public security bureau."

Chen Zishi and Peng Songyue couldn't help but show their delight upon hearing this, nodding repeatedly.

Indeed, just mentioning Uncle Qin's name was highly effective.

They were completely clueless about the bail process, but Zhang Wei was very professional and handled everything. In the afternoon, they obtained the bail pending trial document, approved by the higher-level public security bureau.

"With this, you can go to the town police station and have her released," Zhang Wei said as he handed the document to Chen Zishi and Peng Songyue, instructing, "Remember to bring her to Jin City after she's released. I need to discuss the details of the defense with her thoroughly."

According to the information he gathered from the public security bureau, the town police station had already collected a series of criminal evidence against the bridesmaid and submitted it to the procuratorate. The procuratorate, in turn, had filed for public prosecution with the court. The court had not yet approved it. So, at this point... the bridesmaid had not been transferred to the town detention center and was still at the police station.

"Thank you, Lawyer Zhang, thank you," Peng Songyue said, holding the bail approval document, extremely excited. At this moment, she profoundly realized the importance of a reliable lawyer. No wonder Qin Mu had repeatedly emphasized finding a truly dependable one.

Zhang Wei smiled slightly. "No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone... thank your Uncle Qin."

Speaking of which, he still owed Qin Mu many favors. If Qin Mu hadn't sent him so many defendants... his small law firm wouldn't have gradually grown to its current size and reputation.

Moreover, this case... was very special and controversial. If he could successfully argue for an acquittal and legitimize the use of unlimited self-defense, it would add another landmark case to his resume. It's worth noting that in judicial practice, lawyers who successfully defend based on the unlimited right to self-defense are all renowned top-tier lawyers! Although this legal provision had existed for decades, it was largely a dead letter. Opportunities to apply it were few and far between, with most cases being judged as excessive self-defense.

Truthfully, if he had to handle this defense alone, he wouldn't be very confident. But with Qin Mu's guidance, it was a different matter entirely.

「Jin City.」

At the nursing home, following the interlude of the wedding hazing at the farmhouse, Qin Mu, Song Tiancheng, and the others had returned to their normal lives.

Song Yun also sent him a WeChat message, saying that Chen Daoguang's family and relatives had been persistently visiting, asking him to forgive Chen Daoguang. In the end, Song Yun expressed his forgiveness for their acts of provocation and illegal trespass.

The town police station also made its decision: Chen Daoguang and the others would be detained for three days and fined.
