me？
The evidence was irrefutable, and she still dared to plead not guilty?
She really dared to say it.
If it wasn't for the fact that this was her first time appearing in court and she needed to pay attention to her image and etiquette, Gu Nianzhi really wanted to roll her eyes in public.
The judge and jurors in the courtroom also heard Jin Wanyi's defense.
They frowned as they looked at the file in their hands. They knocked the gavel and said, "Defense lawyer, are you sure you want to plead not guilty?"
"Yes, Your Honor," Jin Wanyi replied calmly without even looking at Gu Nianzhi.
The judge then asked, "Then you want to deny all the plaintiff's charges?"
"Yes, Your Honor." Jin Wanyi nodded again and said in detail, "Your Honor, my client did not violently kidnap the plaintiff eight years ago, so I plead not guilty for them."
The judge put down the file in his hand and asked in a deep voice, "Then you're saying that the He family reported a false case back then? Or that the plaintiff is falsely accusing your client? "
Jin Wanyi was stunned.
Blinking her almond-shaped eyes, Jin Wanyi carefully organized her words, "Your Honor, I plead not guilty for my client, but that doesn't mean that the He family reported a false case eight years ago."
"… But you said you wanted to plead not guilty." The judge was also puzzled, and his frown deepened. "Defense lawyer, do you understand what you're saying?"
"Your Honor, you're very incisive. This is exactly where I want to uphold justice for my client." Jin Wanyi nodded slightly and bowed in the direction of the courtroom. Her demeanor was elegant and thorough.
"Eight years ago, the He family did not report a false case. The plaintiff did leave the He family without the He family knowing, so the He family thought she had 'disappeared'."
"However, her departure was not caused by my client's' violent 'kidnapping."
Jin Wanyi emphasized the word "violent."
The legal consequences of using violence against a minor and causing physical and mental harm were very serious.
"Defense lawyer, please state your point of view." The judge made the final decision and sat up straight. He began today's trial with great interest.
Jin Wanyi walked out from behind the defendant's stand and said to the people in the courtroom, "This case is actually very simple. I don't understand why the unscathed plaintiff would re-sue my client and even say that they used 'violent' means."
"Objection." Gu Nianzhi raised her hand calmly. "The defense lawyer used false assumptions to describe the plaintiff's situation and is suspected of misleading."
"Objection sustained." The judge looked at Jin Wanyi unhappily. "Defendant's lawyer, please speak with the facts. Don't make any value judgments without any basis in fact."
"Yes, Your Honor." Jin Wanyi looked like she was ready to accept the good advice. In fact, this was all a lawyer's routine.
If she didn't emphasize her value judgment in court, how could she leave a deep impression on everyone?
Jin Wanyi returned to the back of the dock and pulled up the chain of evidence for the case from her laptop.
She connected the laptop to the big screen in the courtroom and put the evidence directly on the big screen.
"Everyone, please take a look. The reason why I want to defend my clients is because they are truly innocent in this case. Not only are they innocent, but they are also good citizens who are willing to help others."
"We can't let good people be bitterly disappointed, and we can't let false accusations become the norm. This will have a great impact on society." Jin Wanyi glanced in Gu Nianzhi's direction and spoke righteously. It was as if Gu Nianzhi was the culprit who was "making false accusations" and had a negative impact on society.
Gu Nianzhi looked at her expressionlessly. She had a look that said, "I'll quietly watch you act like a b * tch."
Jin Wanyi sneered in her heart. She thought to herself, I'll see how long you can stay calm …
She pointed at the first piece of evidence that appeared on the big screen with a laser pointer and said passionately, "Everyone, look. This is the most important piece of evidence in this case, and it's also the key to clearing my client's name."
On the big screen in the courtroom was the note with Gu Xiangwen's signature. "You don't have to look anymore. I've taken my daughter away!"
The handwriting was bold and elegant. It was obvious that it was a good handwriting.
Lu Jin lowered his head silently and looked away from the big screen guiltily.
Lu Yuan snorted and glanced at him sideways.
This was all the stupid thing he had done back then!
"Everyone." Jin Wanyi's voice trembled slightly, and her eyelashes fluttered. It was obvious that she was in a state of extreme excitement. She turned to stare at Gu Nianzhi like a cat staring at a mouse. "Lawyer Gu, you're familiar with the name 'Gu Xiangwen', right? Can you tell everyone who Gu Xiangwen is? Who is he to you? "
Gu Nianzhi shifted her gaze to Jin Wanyi's face and looked at her expressionlessly for a while. It wasn't until Jin Wanyi was scared that the corners of her lips slowly curled up. She smiled faintly and said, "Lawyer Jin, why don't you tell me who Gu Xiangwen is? Who is he to me? Wouldn't that be better? "
Jin Wanyi was stunned. "You refuse to answer my question?"
"Does this question have anything to do with the case?" Gu Nianzhi said slowly. "I refuse to answer questions that have nothing to do with the case."
Seeing Gu Nianzhi's excuses, Jin Wanyi smiled sincerely and breathed a sigh of relief.
That was all. When it came to the court debate, no matter how eloquent Gu Nianzhi was, she couldn't take it seriously.
She actually refused to answer her question?!
A trace of contempt flashed across Jin Wanyi's eyes. She turned her eyes indifferently and looked at the note displayed on the big screen. She answered her own question, "Everyone, the name Gu Xiangwen is very familiar in our country."
"He was once the most famous scientist in our country and a two-time Nobel Prize winner. Also, he won the Nobel Prize in different fields. This is the first time in the history of science in the world. "
"But …" Jin Wanyi changed the topic and her tone became sharp. "He was also a wanted criminal in a murder case. He went from being a high and mighty scientist who looked down on all living things to being on the run like a rat in a sewer with a murder case on his back …"
"Objection!" Gu Nianzhi couldn't control herself. She stood up from the plaintiff's stand and said loudly, "I object to the defendant's lawyer using insulting words to describe someone who has nothing to do with the case!"
Before the judge on the bench could determine if her objection was valid, Jin Wanyi had already said, "Lawyer Gu, you've been evading the issue time and time again, refusing to talk about this Gu Xiangwen. Is it because he's your father? Your so-called violent kidnapping eight years ago was actually your biological father taking you away! "
She walked out from the defendant's stand and pressed in Gu Nianzhi's direction. "Lawyer Gu, admit it! You're making a false accusation! "
"It was clearly your father who missed his daughter, but he had a wanted order on him and didn't dare appear in front of the He family, so he asked my client to help take you away to see him. How is this a violent kidnapping?! They did it for the sake of helping you reunite with your flesh and blood! "
Jin Wanyi's face turned red, and there seemed to be a fire burning in the center of her eyes. She looked at Gu Nianzhi with bright eyes. "Do you want to continue listening?"
She turned around and played her chain of evidence with the remote control.
"This note was written by Gu Xiangwen himself. It has been authenticated by a famous criminal investigation handwriting expert in our country. It has full legal validity." As she spoke, she walked back to her stand and handed over the original copy of the note. "This is the original handwriting I got from the police department's cold case file."
Because the cold case had reiterated that the evidence had to be submitted to the court.
The judge and the judges on both sides surrounded the note and examined it carefully.
Jin Wanyi picked up the laser pointer and pointed at the chain of evidence on the big screen. She continued, "Eight years ago, the He family held a birthday party for the plaintiff, Gu Nianzhi. Gu Xiangwen used this opportunity to tell my client how much he missed his daughter. He begged them to bring her out to meet him. "
"My client is kind-hearted and a good person. He has been in the He family for so many years, but he has never argued with anyone or made enemies with anyone."
"Gu Xiangwen is also a soft persimmon. He knows that it's useless to look for others. It's only useful to look for them."
"He cried many times, and my client finally relented. He agreed to bring her out to meet him, but he had to send her back as soon as possible after the meeting."
"So on the day of her birthday, after they explained the situation to the plaintiff, Gu Nianzhi, the 12-year-old plaintiff agreed on the spot and took the initiative to leave with their help."
Jin Wanyi finished speaking confidently and looked at Gu Nianzhi triumphantly. "How is it? Lawyer Gu, you clearly agreed to leave to meet your father. How did it become a violent kidnapping?! "
"You still don't admit that you're falsely accusing my client?!"
"Oh, by the way, I heard that you lost your memory. You completely lost your memory before you were 12 years old, so you can't remember how you left the He family?"
Gu Nianzhi looked at Jin Wanyi quietly. She thought to herself that if she hadn't reunited with her father and knew the tortuous experience behind it, she really would have believed her …
Look at how well this story was made up. There was a cause and an effect, an action and logic, and there was physical evidence to support it. It was a completely different world.
She raised her eyelids slightly and saw that most of the people in the courtroom seemed to have heard it.
The judge on the left side of the courtroom was still nodding …
Gu Nianzhi lowered her eyes to hide the mockery in them.
