Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 84 Hobert's Network (adding updates to everyone's monthly pass)
Hobert concealed his emotions: "I feel sorry for what happened to your friend, but I still want to tell you that he needs a lawyer to defend him, otherwise he will face a prison sentence in addition to losing money."

"Oh, the storm is coming!" Darren said a little excitedly: "Bill's driving skills are the best after drinking, it's that nasty tobacco dealer, he doesn't understand the rules of sailing on the river at all! That damned A profiteer, no one was hurt, but he must send Bill to prison..."

Hobert quietly waited for the other party to vent his inner emotions before saying: "If you want me to defend your friend Bill, please ask Bill's family members to go to the law firm with the lawsuit and related materials tomorrow or Saturday. I."

Then Dylan asked the question that almost every client would ask: "Can this lawsuit be won?"

"I need to read the plaintiff's lawsuit before I can give you a specific answer." Hobert took out a pen and paper from his briefcase while answering, and wrote down the address of the law firm.

Dylan put away the address, thanked Hobert and Jacob, and left in a hurry.

Hobert also took leave of Jacob, promising to return in a few days.

It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when I returned to the law office in a carriage.

Hobert took out the third case that Barton gave him and studied it again. This case was not urgent, so Hobert put him at the end.

In fact, Hobert had read these materials several times, but now he just wanted to sit quietly until he got off work, always looking busy.

"Hobert!" While Hobert was fishing, a colleague said to him: "A client has appointed you to defend the client."

Hobert was taken aback: "Me?"

When did I become so famous?
"Yes." The colleague reminded: "When I came here just now, I simply listened to a few words. It's a defense of innocence. It seems quite complicated. If you are not sure, just refuse."

"Thank you." Hobert got up and went to the reception room. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a 50-[-]-year-old lady sitting on a chair. She was well-dressed and wore some jewelry, but she looked a little anxious.

Behind the lady stood a middle-aged man who looked familiar and a young man who was unfamiliar, who should be the housekeeper and servant.

Seeing Hobert enter the door, the butler immediately smiled and said, "Lawyer Hobert, we meet again."

It was only then that Hobert remembered that this was Mr. Barron's butler: "Yes, Mr. Butler, we meet again. How is Mr. Barron?"

He finally knew why the lady had appointed him. It turned out that Barron had introduced him.

"Very good," said the housekeeper, "Master bought another horse a few days ago, and I can often hear his hearty laugh."

Hobert smiled and nodded.

The lady sitting on the chair asked a little worriedly: "This is Lawyer Hobert?"

He is much younger than she imagined, is it really okay to hire him?

"Yes ma'am," the butler introduced, "This is Mrs. Kent, Mr. Barron's aunt. She has some legal problems and hopes to get your help."

Hobert sat opposite Mrs. Kendall and began to understand the case.

Mrs. Kent has an only son, Bruce Kent. Bruce was divorced last year. He has always held grudges against his former father-in-law and his mother-in-law.

So not long ago, Bruce bought some gunpowder from the black market, made it into a bomb and threw it into the yard of his father-in-law's house.

The father-in-law's family was quite frightened. After they called the police, the prosecution brought Bruce to court for bombing and intentional homicide.

Mrs. Kent, who happened to be widowed, went on a trip with her friends some time ago, and when she came back, she was told that this Saturday, the day after tomorrow, Bruce's case would be in court.

Mrs. Kent hurriedly asked relatives and friends to help her find a solution, and Mr. Barron recommended the serious and responsible lawyer Hobert to his aunt.

After understanding the general situation, Hobert asked Mrs. Kent: "Are you sure Mr. Bruce didn't ignite the fuse when he threw the homemade bomb?"

"I'm sure!" Mrs. Kent said: "I visited poor little Bruce in prison, and he said it was just a prank. The fuze he made was stuck to the outside of the bomb, and even if it was ignited, it would not be possible to detonate the gunpowder."

Hobert nodded: "Have you brought a copy of the plaintiff's lawsuit?"

"Brought it."

When Hobert was reading the lawsuit, Mrs. Kent said angrily and anxiously: "The Wyatt family (the family of Bruce's former father-in-law) are a bunch of villains!
"When Bruce Jr. fell in love with Huai En Te's daughter, I reminded him that Huai En Te has no money and likes to look down on others. Such a marriage should be cautious, and I really agreed.

"Oh, Goddess! The hateful Huai Ente not only ruined my son's family, but now he wants my son to go to jail. How can there be such a bastard?"

"You don't need to be angry, madam. It is the value of our lawyers to seek justice for the client." Hobert smiled and said, "I have read the plaintiff's lawsuit just now, and I am quite sure about this defense. May I ask you to entrust me to defend your son?"

"Of course, Lawyer Hobert, I knew from the first moment I saw you that only a young and promising lawyer like you can save my poor little Bruce." Mrs. Kent said sincerely.

Hobert thought to himself: Ma'am, just now you clearly distrusted me, but after seeing the confidence I showed, did you change your mind?

"Then, Madam, please sign the power of attorney." Hobert said, "I need to stay and study the plaintiff's lawsuit."

After seeing off Mrs. Kent and his party, Hobert realized that his previous practice of taking every commission seriously had paid off.The cases received this week, except for Dai Lun, were all introduced by acquaintances.

This shows that the previous entrustment has allowed him to accumulate a certain network of contacts, which has allowed him to gain a firm foothold in the legal industry.If he continues to maintain the standard of taking every commission seriously, these connections will grow wider and wider.

For the first innocence defense in his life, Hobert attached great importance to it. In addition to consulting relevant information, the next day, that is, on Friday morning, Hobert went to the Minsk prison to find Bruce to learn the details of the bomb.

After making full preparations, Hobert came to the Backlund Court early on Saturday. This is one of the three formal courts in Backlund, which mainly accept criminal cases of ordinary citizens.

The formal court is much more spacious than the magistrate's court, and the judge's seat is set on a high platform, which looks very oppressive.

In addition, there are bailiffs responsible for maintaining order, which puts invisible pressure on people.

The listening area is also very large, and it is estimated that it can seat two to three hundred people.

In addition to Mrs. Kent, Mr. Barron and others, as well as Bruce's friends, there were a total of 30 people who came to listen.

In addition, there were relatives and friends of the plaintiff's Wyent family, who sat in different positions and occasionally glared at each other.

Forsi also arrived on time, and this time she brought a notebook, ready to record some details of Hobert's defense.
