The first case that Li took over was a car crash. Because it was late at night, the evidence obtained was extremely limited, and the suspect also made perjury. After the trial of the first instance, the suspect suddenly retracted his confession and denied the accusation of the prosecutor. Lawyer Chen produced enough evidence to prove the defendant's innocence. The chief judge decided to adjourn the court. And Li applied for supplementary investigation. Together with the public security personnel, the two men re-explored the scene, and made sense and emotion to the gas station staff who made perjury near the scene, and finally made them admit their mistakes. And Li got the strongest evidence. A few days later, the court opened again. After a heated debate in court, the suspect finally admitted the fact that he hit someone with a car.
