Mr. De'an used to run a Minghua Bank. During those years when his business was booming, he accumulated a lot of wealth and became a big businessman with a well-off family. His daughter Hua Chu is the only child in the family. She is beautiful, intelligent and kind-hearted. She is one of the famous ladies in Liyue. This is a family that is envied by countless people. However, since Beiguo Bank appeared in Liyue a few years ago, business has become increasingly difficult for several banks in Liyue, and they eventually closed down one after another. Only Minghua Bank has managed to survive until now and has become the only bank in Liyue. De'an Gong stayed in business and competed with Northland Bank. His spirit was widely praised among the people, and many businessmen and people went to him to make deposits. Taking this opportunity, Minghua Bank gradually recovered its decline. Later, there was a situation of rivalry with Beiguo Bank.
During this period, Beiguo Bank sent people to put pressure on him many times, but he never compromised or gave in. Several fierce conflicts broke out between employees on both sides. In the end, Qian Yanjun came forward to mediate the conflict between the two parties. Obviously, the person who most hopes that something will happen to Mr. De'an must be the competitor of Beiguo Bank. Just as the fisherman was thinking about it, a general from the Qianyan Army rode a bay-red horse and led a group of guards to arrive and immediately sealed off the scene. Seeing the Qianyan Army team with golden scales and iron armor and holding spears, the people instantly felt at ease. What a big battle! The fisherman naturally recognized this general. He is responsible for murders and strange cases in Liyue and is known as the "Detective General". But in recent years, as the number of murders in Liyue has plummeted, the detective general has made fewer public appearances. It's a real honor to meet you today. "General, the body was discovered by a commoner." "Okay, you go and be questioned." The detective general said. A soldier from the Qianyan Army immediately questioned him, and someone was there to take notes. Not long after, there was a sudden noise from the crowd. "It's Lawyer Yan Fei!" "Gong De'an really asked her to prosecute Prince Zhidong." "With General Detective and Lawyer Yan Fei here, Beiguo Bank and Prince Zhidong won't be able to escape the charges now."
The people watching excitedly shouted the name of "Yan Fei". The most senior, most professional and most reputable lawyer in Liyue, in this country that pays attention to contracts, it is reasonable for him to be as popular as a star. The detective general looked at the visitor. Then, he took three steps and then rushed forward, clasped his fists with his hands, and bowed his head in salute. But what he respected was not Yan Fei, but the man beside her. A few days ago, "Seven Stars" hosted a banquet for the Zhidong delegation at Qunyu Pavilion. He was fortunate enough to be in charge of security at the scene, so he met Prince Zhidong himself. At the dinner that day, the scene where the normally aloof "Seven Stars of Liyue" asked Prince Zhidong for advice was something he would never forget. Seeing each other again at this time was even more respectful. The fisherman and Duke De'an were also surprised as to why the famous Detective General suddenly saluted a strange man. These generals would not do this easily even if they faced the "Seven Stars of Liyue". It wasn't until the two of them heard the detective general respectfully call "Your Highness" that they felt like they were waking up from a dream and hurriedly lowered their heads and saluted. "Is this the Prince of Solstice?" "His aura is like a rainbow. He seems to be more powerful than the Detective General. It gives me the feeling of a born emperor. It is said that there is a kind of emperor's aura technique that can increase a person's aura. Perhaps the Prince of Winter has practiced it." "Judging from his appearance, Prince Solstice doesn't look like a murderer." Some people recognized Su Yu's identity and consciously paid attention. Full of awe and adoration. Yan Fei's beautiful eyes were shining with light. She carefully observed the people's reactions, and her understanding of Prince Zhi Dong became deeper. Obviously, Prince Zhidong's reputation in Liyue is almost equal to that of the "Seven Stars of Liyue". The only difference is that the people of Liyue do not respect one of the "Seven Stars of Liyue", but the seven stars of the past generations who have dedicated their youth and sweat to Liyue for generations. But to respect Prince Zhidong, I really respect him. In Liyue, the only one who can enjoy this honor is the emperor. Thinking of this, Yan Fei's psychological pressure suddenly increased. She received two cases, both against Prince Zhidong. If she wrongly accused him, her reputation would be ruined. She silently reminded herself in her heart that she must collect evidence carefully, so that she could neither wrongfully accuse Prince Winter nor let Prince Winter's fame influence her justice. If Prince Solstice is guilty, she will bring him to justice. "How is the investigation going?" After arriving at the scene, Su Yu asked about the case. "Your Majesty is preparing to conduct an autopsy on the deceased. Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will report to you other details of the case first..."
The detective general was going to report all the information he had to Su Yu. "Having an autopsy here in public?" There was a chill in Su Yu's tone. The detective general didn't know the reason and asked hurriedly: "Your Highness, is there anything wrong?" "This girl named Hua Chu is not yet married. Taking off her clothes for an autopsy in public is tantamount to destroying someone's innocence. Where is the dignity of the deceased?" On the way here, Su Yu briefly asked Yan Fei about Hua Chu's situation. When the detective general said he wanted to conduct an autopsy, he stopped him. "Your Highness, please forgive me for talking too much. It is our legal requirement in Liyue to conduct an autopsy at the first place where the case occurred. Lawyer Yan Fei knows this rule best." Yan Fei nodded to Su Yu, acquiescing to this legal requirement. Hearing this, Su Yu not only didn't calm down, but his voice rose even more. "If the deceased is your wife and daughter, do you agree to a public autopsy?" The detective general was speechless, and after thinking for a moment, he replied: "If it were my wife and daughter, in order to protect their privacy, I would not agree to perform an autopsy here." "What do you think?" Su Yu turned his head again and looked at Yan Fei. "I...should abide by the law. But if possible, I still hope that the autopsy will not be conducted in public." Yan Fei was most afraid of encountering this kind of situation in her life. She is often at a loss when ethics and law conflict. "Very good, we have reached a consensus, then the body will be transported back for examination. As for your Liyue laws, Miss Yanfei, you are Ningguang's legal advisor. Submit the law revision plan directly to her." “If the law doesn’t put people first, change it.” Su Yu made the final decision. This is the first time he has intervened in Liyue's internal affairs. Chapter 103 people oriented! Yan Fei, who heard this statement for the first time, silently remembered these four words in her heart. As a legal expert, Yan Fei also has her own confusions. The existence of some legal provisions is actually unreasonable and often conflicts with human beings themselves. For example, the rule of conducting an autopsy on the spot. This is a very old legal provision in Liyue. At that time, due to the limited technology and level of body preservation, the coroner had to conduct an autopsy on site as soon as possible.
Past autopsy experience believes that the earlier the autopsy is conducted, the more clues will be discovered. If the body is damaged during handling or moving, it can easily affect the results of the autopsy. Although she always felt that this legal provision was unreasonable, she could never find a valid reason for its modification. Today, Prince Zhidong's rhetorical question made her suddenly enlightened. Put people first, the dead are the most important. The deceased should also be treated with dignity. This should not only be a principle for post-mortem law, but should also become a principle for the formulation of other laws. In fact, according to the "people-oriented" concept, many legal provisions in Liyue need to be reformed. She felt the huge responsibility and pressure on her shoulders. "Mr. De'an, you still haven't thanked Prince Zhidong." The fisherman hurriedly reminded him. If an autopsy were conducted in public today, Hua Chu's innocence would be ruined. Liyue's laws are so strict that no one dares to break them easily. That is to say, Prince Zhidong is here today, so he has the power to let Ningguang directly change the laws. Regardless of whether Prince Solstice is the murderer or not, he should be thanked first. But Mr. De'an said resentfully: "Don't think that if you do this hypocritically, I will give up prosecuting you." Duke De'an suspected that this was a trick played by Prince Zhidong. He was obviously prejudiced against Su Yu because of his daughter's death. Yan Fei then advised: "Don't be rude to Prince Zhidong until the case is investigated clearly. If he wants to deal with your bank, there is no need to kill your daughter. This method is too low-level for His Highness." "Lawyer Yan Fei, a big shot like him just wants to use your thoughts to evade legal sanctions." Yan Fei explained: "Mr. De'an, I know you are sad after losing your daughter, and you are eager to know the cause of her death. But the law is about evidence. If there is evidence in the end that Prince Zhi Dong is the murderer, he will not be able to escape even if he wants to. .” "My daughter, she died so tragically." Duke De'an thought of his daughter again and began to cry. "Old man, I just saw on your daughter's finger that there are obvious signs of wearing a ring. Does she usually have the habit of wearing rings?" Su Yu asked. "My daughter never wears a ring." Duke De'an replied. "So, does she have a boyfriend?" "My daughter is innocent and has no boyfriend!"
Mr. De'an's mood was abnormal and he replied loudly. But the fisherman next to him said: "To tell you your highness, Miss Huachu does have a boyfriend, his tutor Jianqiu. I and other fishermen often see the two of them holding hands and dating by the river after dusk." "But Mr. De'an never recognized that Jianqiu. He believed that Jianqiu did not really like Huachu, but just wanted to climb high, and he repeatedly opposed the relationship between the two..." The fisherman told Su Yu the relationship between Jianqiu and Huachu. It turns out that in order to cultivate her daughter's cultural education, Mr. De'an hired tutor Jian Qiu to come to his house to teach his daughter arithmetic lessons. Unexpectedly, the two of them fell in love with each other for a long time and developed feelings for each other.
