Lu Linbei felt much more at ease. He originally thought that the appointment of a lawyer was just a formality, but after meeting with him, he felt that the lawyer was very reliable. The military treated the case more formally than he expected.

It didn't take long for his judgment to change.

The door opened, Cui Zhuning came in from the outside, stood at the door, showed a wry smile, and then walked up to Lu Linbei, "How did things end up like this?"

"Yeah, I'm more confused than you. So far, no one has explained to me in detail the ins and outs of the whole thing." Lu Linbei extended his hand to invite the guest to sit down, and then moved the "lawyer" on the table aside.

"It is said that you took the virus from the Latitude and Latitude and invaded the main fleet server."

"That's what I heard too. It seems that my 'invasion' was not very successful."

"This invasion caused chaos to the entire fleet network for at least an hour. Eleven spaceships lost control. A large number of shuttles and combat robots flew away from the mother ship and their whereabouts are unknown. Because the hatch door accidentally opened, some crew members were blown into space, and then He didn’t come back either.”

"Causing thousands of casualties." Lu Linbei muttered.

"Nearly a hundred people died and many more were injured."

Lu Linbei stared at Cui Zhuning, "The losses were huge, but as an 'invasion', it was still not successful enough. It was far from enough. It had little help in changing the war situation. I don't understand why I wasted energy planning this invasion."

Cui Zhuning curled his lips, "In the eyes of some people, this is exactly the reason why you came back. If the invasion is successful, you will appear in another identity."

"Well, it sounds very reasonable. I pretended to have amnesia in order to regain the trust of the military and launch another network invasion."

"This is a reasonable guess." Cui Zhuning said with a smile.

"But I still think that if I launched the invasion, it would be successful."

"It should indeed have succeeded, if the fleet hadn't been warned in advance."

"My invasion was leaked in advance?"

"right."

"Who is the leaker?"

"I don't know, the other party didn't leave his identity."

"Who was the message sent to?"

"Um?"

"Did the leaker send the information to a certain person, or to a certain department?"

"As far as I know, the intelligence was sent by Military Intelligence, so the leaker's information should have been sent to them."

"Military Intelligence always has a head start."

"Yes, in the previous 'breaking into parts' and this time's 'cyber intrusion', the intelligence score of the Military Intelligence Department was absolutely accurate. The General Intelligence Bureau is deeply ashamed."

Lu Linbei didn't want to discuss the Military Intelligence Agency, "Did Director Cui come to visit me specially? Or did he come with a mission?"

"Half and half, we are not friends, but at least we are acquaintances. Such a big thing happened, I should come to visit you, and I also bring a proposal."

"Whose suggestion?"

"Before you accept it, don't say who it is, just what it is proposed to be."

"Please say."

"Get another lawyer."

Lu Linbei was stunned, "Isn't the lawyer assigned to me by the military? Why should I be replaced?"

"There was a small deviation in the middle, and the assignment became random. The lawyer you met was not part of the military's plan."

Lu Linbei was stunned again, "This is not like a 'small deviation'."

"The system that was disrupted by that intrusion has not yet fully recovered, so there is such a deviation."

"Well, it was a mistake, but I think this lawyer is very good and just the defender I need."

"Here's the problem. This lawyer will cause a lot of trouble for the military and will also send you into the abyss."

Lu Linbei smiled and said, "Director Cui confused me."

"In fact, the military does not intend to be too harsh on you. This trial is a formality. The court will partially accept your statement that you launched the invasion under control and had your memory deleted afterwards."

"Is the military always so tolerant, or is it just making an exception for me?"

"The military has its own reasons for doing this. You are too important and they have to make concessions. There are people from the General Administration and the Military Intelligence Department interceding for you, especially the Cyber ​​Warfare Research Center. They have directly made a request to the higher level, hoping to grant you amnesty."

"Isn't the data the research center got from me enough?"

Cui Zhuning smiled and said: "Scientific researchers always do this. After one request is met, they will always make more requests. The research center said that the data obtained from you is very valuable and can solve many problems in cyber warfare, but If we can continue our research, the results will be more fruitful and help King Zhai defeat all enemies in future wars."

"Then I am indeed important enough." Lu Linbei thought of Mei Wangzhen's words again, and the data he provided was distorted.

"But the facts are there. It is impossible for the military to pretend not to see it, so a trial must be held to let the law give you a chance to exonerate yourself."

"No one in the military told me that."

"Of course you can't say it clearly. Whoever speaks will be held responsible. I am not the director of the 11th Division of the General Administration now, but an acquaintance of yours. I am giving you a kind reminder."

Lu Linbei thought for a while, "I believe in Director Cui's good intentions, but this seems to have nothing to do with the lawyer. No matter who defends me, there will be a result, right?"

"It would be fine if it were any other lawyer, but this is Lawyer No. 34... He is very stubborn. He will focus on every procedural detail in court and argue repeatedly. This will not only waste time, but also introduce many inconveniences. Necessary evidence, which is not good for you, because once the evidence is introduced, the judge cannot turn a blind eye.”

"In that case, why not delete No. 34?"

"I don't know much about legal matters. I only know that it is very difficult to delete a lawyer's program. You need to prove that it has made serious mistakes, and it must be approved by a majority of the justices. Of course, No. 34 is not a bad lawyer. , if I had a case, I would be happy to seek representation from it, but the circumstances of your case are special and require a lawyer who can cooperate with the court."

"Director Cui means to cooperate with the prosecutor, right?"

Cui Zhuning was silent for a while, obviously having guessed the outcome, and smiled: "I told them that there is no way to convince you, and asking me to come forward may be counterproductive, but they are very insistent, so I have no choice but to come over and give it a try."

"Director Cui, don't misunderstand me. I believe you and I believe the military will be lenient to me, but this is not what I want."

"what do you want?"

"The truth. No. 34 said that good lawyers don't pay attention to facts, but only care about legal provisions. I think he is right. But after talking with him, I found that the provisions and procedures he cares about can help me sort out clues and Investigate the truth.”

Cui Zhuning was silent for a longer time, "Accept the reality, you will be free soon, but the truth may destroy you. After all, Prince Zhai is a planet that respects the law. The military and higher-ups can only operate within a small range." To excuse you, if you insist on leaving this range, you will lose all help.”

"Director Cui, please thank all parties for their help, but I still want to find out the truth. I believe that the truth will be more beneficial to me and Wang Xing Zhai."

Cui Zhuning smiled and nodded, stood up and stretched out his hand, "I wish you good luck. I came to convince you, but after talking, I seem to be convinced by you. Let's look forward to the truth together."

Lu Linbei shook hands with Cui Zhuning and said goodbye.

Not long after the guests left, a small group of people came in. There were seven members in total. Judging from their attire, they included people from the military and experts from unknown departments. Without introducing themselves, they directly asked Lu Linbei to sign, and then used the documents they brought. instrument for testing.

Two groups of people came in and conducted two tests. The first time was to retrieve the records in Lu Linbei's digital brain, and the second time he was asked to do a simulation test.

Lu Linbei successfully imitated Ma Yingying, at least he was very satisfied with it. The testers refused to give an answer on the spot.

Lawyer No. 34 came back on time, "There are still forty minutes left before court. That should be enough time. Have you been tested?"

"Yes, but I don't know the result."

"Don't worry, I will get all the results fifteen minutes before the trial starts. If there are no surprises, the prosecutor will set the time accurately and will never advance it."

"They are all people who understand the letter of the law."

"Of course, but at least in terms of the provisions, lawyers can fight the prosecutors, and that's our battlefield."

"The battle damage report must wait until then?"

"Yes, it doesn't matter. I will read the entire content in one second and find out the program loopholes, if there are really loopholes in it."

“Was the application process smooth?”

"It was very difficult and I had eleven rounds of conversations with the judges before I finally got their consent."

"More than one judge?"

"How much do you know about the courts?"

"Know nothing."

"Have you never watched any movies or TV shows?"

"I've seen some, and everyone in it looks like a private detective, but I never understood the part about the court, and I didn't pay much attention."

"No wonder. Judges are made up of two parts. One part is the same as mine. They have rich experience and their understanding of legal provisions is more rigid than ours. The other part is human beings like you. They are supervisory judges and do not directly participate in the trial. Only when the procedural judge believes that legal provisions alone are insufficient to make a judgment will the case be sent to the supervisory judge. During the process of applying for a public battle damage report, I communicated with the procedural judge seven times and with the supervisory judge four times. This time, I finally got permission.”

"Thank you so much."

"This is my duty, and I trust your judgment more and more. The battle damage report should be very important. There are hidden contents in it that are detrimental to the prosecution, so they will frequently object until the last moment."

"The prosecutor even found someone to persuade me to change my lawyer."

"Ha, I'm not surprised at all. The prosecution is also composed of programs and humans. The program is my old opponent. We have fought one hundred and eighty-six times and settled sixty-nine times before trial. In court, Twenty-seven times I won the case completely, 63 times I won partially, and only 27 times I lost the case completely. The prosecutor must not be confident enough to come up with this trick of persuading you to change lawyers."

"Why did you become my lawyer?"

"Assigned randomly."

"Let me put the question another way: Did any code interfere during the random designation process? I am your client, and I believe that as a lawyer, you will never lie to me."

"Lying to the client is a serious violation of professional ethics and related regulations. Well, I think I have been interfered with by the code, but I don't know where or who the interference came from. In short, I was assigned to be your lawyer."

"Thank you for your answer."

"Let's prepare for a fight, oh oh... Things have taken a turn for the better. The prosecutor proposed pre-trial negotiations, possibly a settlement. How important is the battle damage report that the prosecutor would rather give up the trial?"

Lu Linbei had the same doubt in his heart.
