"You...how did you know I am the defendant?"
Han Tianming looked at the lawyer before him, his face etched with shock, and voiced the question on his mind. He had just entered, carrying his luggage. This lawyer had accurately located him and was incessantly marketing their law firm.
"Judging by your complexion, sir—a touch of sorrow, a lack of spirit—it's clear you've faced some setbacks. Dragging a suitcase, you're certainly not here for tourism," the lawyer explained with a slight, confident smile. "Furthermore, Jin City has been rather peculiar recently. Those checking into hotels with luggage are either on a business trip or are defendants. But this hotel is near the courthouse, and there's no CBD business district around. Someone on a business trip wouldn't choose to stay here. So, the most likely explanation... is that you're a defendant."
