Can the same lawyer act as the defender of accomplice in different cases?

Editor's note of Comrade Zheng Q: During the trial of a case of intentional injury, we found that the defendants A and B committed the same crime. When A was transferred for prosecution, a lawyer defended him in court, while B was at large. The following year, B was arrested and prosecuted, and the lawyer appeared in court as B's defender to defend B. According to Article 35 of the Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues of Criminal Procedure Law (hereinafter referred to as the Interpretation), a defendant may not entrust more than two defenders. In a case of * * * joint crime, a defender may not defend more than two co-defendants. In this regard, we have two opinions in the trial: the first opinion is that according to the interpretation, the word "co-defendant" in "co-defendant" should refer to the * * * co-defendant in the same crime. Party A and Party B are accomplices, and the lawyer shall not be the defender of Party B after being the defender of Party A; The second view is that "the same case" in Article 35 of the Interpretation refers to the case number accepted by the people's court. After the defendants A and B were sued respectively, the court filed a case and registered the case numbers respectively. At this time, Party A and Party B are defendants in two cases with different case numbers, and lawyers can act as defenders of Party B. Which view is correct?
