Old Master Xie was already so old, but his temper was still so hot.
On the other side of the phone, Xie Beichen was trying to persuade Old Master Xie. "Dad, don't worry. Be careful, or your blood pressure will rise again."
"I'm not in a hurry? Look at what he's done to that family! As a man, he couldn't control his lower body and was led by the nose by a woman! As a parent, you can't even take care of your own home. You bring all the dirty and smelly things into your own home! "
Old Master Xie scolded Huo Xuenong, and Xie Beichen felt very awkward.
Huo Shaoheng didn't mind. He curled his lips and advised, "Granduncle, please take it easy. How are you going to return to the country if you get angry?"
Grandfather Xie said angrily, "Don't worry, I'll definitely return next week. I'll get Beichen to prepare a private plane right now!"
Old Master Xie had to prepare more than one private plane for his return to China.
However, this was something for Xie Beichen to worry about, so Huo Shaoheng didn't say anything else.
After putting down the phone, Huo Shaoheng continued with his work.
…
Gu Nianzhi waited a few days after handing over the indictment to the prosecutor's office. Finally, she received a call from the prosecutor's office asking her to go there in person.
Gu Nianzhi quickly drove to the prosecutor's office.
Because of her special identity, the person who came to receive her was a female prosecutor with a relatively high position in the procuratorate.
In the small conference room, the female prosecutor smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries with Gu Nianzhi. Then, she said apologetically, "Lawyer Gu, we have carefully reviewed the materials you submitted. We all agree that the evidence you have for suing Luo Jialan for 'intentional homicide' against Ms. Song Jinning is slightly insufficient."
Gu Nianzhi knew that this matter wouldn't be so easy. Previously, she had also had the attitude of "do your best and leave it to fate."
But she wanted to hear what the lady prosecutor had to say.
Therefore, he still revealed a very disappointed expression, pursed his lips, and said with a gloomy expression, "How could this be? Can't we sue her? "
"Of course you can. If you want to sue Luo Jialan for intentional injury, mental abuse, or domestic violence, you can. These can all be directly filed in court, there is no need to go through our Procuratorate. "
The female prosecutor's attitude was very amiable. "Also, I've seen the materials you've prepared. They're very detailed and complete. The possibility of a private prosecution winning is very high. But if you want to charge 'intentional homicide', the possibility of filing a case is almost zero. "
Gu Nianzhi clenched her fists and said angrily, "I just can't stand it! Luo Jialan has been mentally abusing a patient who has been severely traumatized for seven to eight years. If she doesn't want her to die, then what is?! "
"This is your inference, but from the evidence you submitted, as a third party, we don't see the need for her to do so. You need direct and subjective evidence to prove that the other party really had a reason to kill Song Jinning. "
"But judging from your materials, Luo Jialan has no reason to kill Song Jinning. Even if she wanted to avenge her mother, it would be more than enough to mentally abuse her for seven to eight years. "
The female prosecutor's attitude showed that Gu Nianzhi's evidence was not enough to convince the public to prove that Luo Jialan had a reason to kill Song Jinning.
The crime of intentional homicide was almost one of the heaviest crimes in the criminal law. Therefore, whether it was the Procuratorate or the court, they were very careful in the prosecution and trial of this crime.
Gu Nianzhi talked to the female prosecutor for a long time and finally decided to withdraw her indictment. She planned to go back and think about other ideas.
She came out of the Procuratorate. There was a lot of traffic and pedestrians in front of the door. The sun was shining brightly above her head, and early summer had arrived as scheduled.
After turning a corner to the parking lot, Gu Nianzhi got into the car and drove aimlessly through the city.
Unknowingly, she found herself at the Institute of High Energy Physics where Song Jinning was located.
Since she was here, she should go and see Ms. Song.
Ever since she had returned from Russia, Ms. Song had thrown herself into another round of crazy experiments and had no contact with the outside world at all.
Gu Nianzhi registered her intentions at the sentry box at the entrance of the Institute of High Energy Physics and showed her identification before she was allowed to enter.
She was surprised to find that the security system here was much better than before.
Other than the sentries at the door being replaced by regular soldiers, there should be many hidden sentries around.
The cameras on the walls were densely packed, and they could monitor any angle without any blind spots.
Gu Nianzhi arrived at Song Jinning's laboratory building with ease.
There was another sentry at the door, and a female security guard came over with a detector to examine her from head to toe. There was also a special device to examine the computer bag and briefcase she carried with her.
It was almost exactly the same as the security system on the plane.
Gu Nianzhi clearly remembered that it hadn't been so troublesome to come here before.
She was slightly surprised and went to the sixth floor where Song Jinning was.
The laboratory building wasn't tall. It didn't stand out among the surrounding high-rise buildings, but it was also particularly hidden.
"Miss Gu, you're here. Please sit for a while. Director Song is in the middle of an experiment. It will be over in a few minutes."
Song Jinning's assistant greeted Gu Nianzhi warmly and placed a bottle of mineral water on the table. "Please enjoy."
"Why are you being so polite with me? Go and do your work. I'll sit by myself for a while."
Gu Nianzhi waved her hand and smiled as she sat in the small sitting room in Song Jinning's office. She took out her laptop and began to edit her indictment.
She sat for half an hour and finally waited for Song Jinning to finish the experiment.
"Little Nianzhi, why are you free to visit me today?" Song Jinning's pleasant voice came from outside the door before she even arrived.
Gu Nianzhi looked up and saw a beautiful woman in a white coat walking in with a smile on her face.
Although she knew Song Jinning's real age and was very familiar with her, Gu Nianzhi would still be slightly dazed every time she suddenly saw Song Jinning.
It was a feeling of being conquered by true beauty.
Gu Nianzhi composed herself and stood up from the sofa. "Ms. Song, how do you take care of yourself? I heard that you do experiments every day. Why are you getting more and more beautiful? You're not doing an experiment to 'preserve your looks', are you? "
Gu Nianzhi blinked at Song Jinning.
Song Jinning smiled happily. Her face was rosy and delicate. There was no trace of makeup on, only ordinary moisturizer. However, the luster of her skin spread from the inside out. She was no less beautiful than a 19-year-old girl like Gu Nianzhi.
She touched her face and said contentedly, "Maybe I'm in high spirits when I'm happy. Look, I'm about to hold my grandchildren. Of course I'm happy! Happiness is the best beauty product! "
Gu Nianzhi blushed slightly and said, "You only know how to tease me. Isn't it because your experiments are getting better, so you're really happy?!"
Gu Nianzhi knew that to Song Jinning, compared to the results of the experiments, her grandchildren were inferior …
"Of course not. My experiments are as important as my grandchildren." Song Jinning smiled as she came to Gu Nianzhi's side and glanced at her stomach. "… You suddenly came to see me. Are you pregnant? Shaoheng still refuses to get married? I'll scold this kid and drag him to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you! "
Gu Nianzhi was speechless. She quickly grabbed Song Jinning and said in a low voice, "Of course not. I'm here because I just came from the prosecutor's office. In the end, they think there's not enough evidence to prosecute Luo Jialan for 'intentional homicide'."
Song Jinning understood and pulled Gu Nianzhi to sit down with her. "Then what's wrong? Or is it really inappropriate? Then let's not prosecute her for intentional homicide. "
"No." Gu Nianzhi shook her head without hesitation. "In the beginning, I really just wanted to teach her an unforgettable lesson and keep her away from my people and my home. But the more I investigated, the more I realized that she really had the intention to kill you. It's just that she was very secretive and didn't want anyone to see through her. "
At that time, Luo Jialan was still a member of the Huo family. She still had designs on Huo Shaoheng, so she couldn't let anyone know that she had the intention to kill Song Jinning.
Because of this, she didn't have any obvious motives for her actions.
"I see … Little Nianzhi, I do support you." Song Jinning stroked Gu Nianzhi's long hair regretfully. "But if there's no sufficient evidence …"
"It's not that there isn't any. The key is that the prosecutor's office said that there's not enough subjective motive to prove that she wanted to kill someone. " Gu Nianzhi began to complain. "I've written all of Uncle Huo's feelings for you in the materials. Even that won't do."
This was considered a "family scandal" of the Huo family. Gu Nianzhi didn't even want to include this in the materials, but Huo Shaoheng and Song Jinning told her that it didn't matter. Anyway, even if Gu Nianzhi didn't say this, Luo Jialan would definitely say it in court in order to get away with it.
Instead of letting Luo Jialan confuse right and wrong, it would be better for them to tell the whole story first.
However, even if this was included in the materials of the indictment, the evidence was still slightly insufficient.
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and took out her materials for Song Jinning to see.
Song Jinning read through it quickly and said, "The materials you've prepared are very detailed and sufficient. Although I don't know much about legal terminology, I can tell that what you're lacking is the last point. With this point, you'll be able to tie up the entire case. "
Gu Nianzhi nodded and asked Song Jinning thoughtfully, "Can you tell me more about your relationship with Luo Xinxue, Luo Jialan, and Uncle Huo? Do you remember everything that happened before your accident? "
What Song Jinning didn't remember was what had happened in the past decade after she had been traumatized. She remembered everything before and after clearly.
She thought about it carefully and started from the beginning.
"… I remember one evening, after I finished my experiment and came out of the lab, Huo Guanyuan was smoking at the door."
"I told him that you can't smoke here."
"He threw away the cigarette butt and told me that he was getting married."
"I congratulated him immediately. He smiled and said that he was doing it to deal with his parents' forced marriage and to take care of his comrade's orphan. He told me that Luo Xinxue was already pregnant, and that she was pregnant before marriage. In that era, it was very difficult for a woman to deal with. And he happened to have promised his comrade to take care of her, so he proposed to her and killed three birds with one stone. "
Song Jinning sighed with a hint of melancholy in her tone.
When Gu Nianzhi heard this, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She grabbed Song Jinning and said anxiously, "Wait, what happened? You knew that Luo Jialan wasn't Uncle Huo's biological daughter?! "
"I knew, but I never told anyone. If it wasn't for the fact that it was later exposed in court, I would have kept it a secret until I died of old age. "
"Think about it, if I told you about such a thing, how would Luo Xinxue conduct herself? And the Huo family wouldn't let her marry into the family. "
