"It's not your fault. Your father, Gu Xiangwen, is a lunatic. He can do anything …"
Jin Wanyi said contemptuously again.
Her gaze and words completely infuriated Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi opened her eyes abruptly and looked over without any emotion.
Her gaze was cold, like an icicle with thorns that could pierce people invisibly.
However, no matter how angry she was, she would not be disrupted.
It was as if the heavens had given her a meal. The more angry Gu Nianzhi was in court, the more calm she was.
Because she knew that if she wanted to really attack the other party, she had to refute the other party in court.
There was no use in trying to win with words.
Gu Nianzhi took a deep breath and tried her best not to turn around and look at Lu Jin, who was sitting in the gallery.
She didn't know how Lu Jin would feel if he heard someone say that about him with his own ears …
Jin Wanyi's fingers tapped on the mouse on her laptop, and her emotions reached a climax.
"At that time, the plaintiff was also worried that the He family wouldn't let her go, so after discussing it with my client, Gu Nianzhi quickly escaped while the lights were out. My client only made way for her so that she could leave through the back door."
"After the plaintiff left the He family, she immediately met with Gu Xiangwen, who was waiting outside."
"Gu Xiangwen is very good at hypnosis. He led the plaintiff and hypnotized the soldiers standing guard along the way. Just like that, he took Gu Nianzhi away from the He family's mansion. "
"When they got into the car on the street, not only did my client, Ms. Wen Shouyi, see it with her own eyes, but two passers-by also saw it."
As Jin Wanyi spoke, she played the video of the testimony provided by the two passers-by.
These two passers-by looked like ordinary passers-by.
A man in his thirties and an old woman in her sixties happened to be passing by the roadside. They saw a tall and thin man holding a chubby little girl's hand and getting into a car parked by the roadside.
"We're all very familiar with that tall and thin man. He's the great scientist who used to be on TV. Later on, I think he was charged with murder and became a wanted man, right? "
"The little girl was eleven or twelve years old, right? She was fair and chubby, had black hair, and was wearing a princess dress. She was very cute. "
Then, they identified the photos in the video and found the photos of Gu Xiangwen and the 12-year-old Gu Nianzhi.
Jin Wanyi's eyes flashed with pride. She glanced sideways at Gu Nianzhi and continued, "There's one last piece of direct evidence. Countless people witnessed it."
She played a news video from that year.
Amidst the flames, a tall and thin man was laughing maniacally. Behind him, a burning car could be vaguely seen. Inside the car, there was a little girl screaming in horror as she stuck to the edge of the window.
When the camera zoomed in, the little girl's face was revealed. It was the 12-year-old Gu Nianzhi.
"This last piece of evidence happened a month after the 12-year-old Gu Nianzhi disappeared from the He family's birthday party. This proved that the person who had taken the minor Gu Nianzhi from the He family was her biological father! It has nothing to do with my clients, Wen Dayou and Liang Meili! "
"It also proves that my client, Ms. Wen Shouyi, did not give false testimony!"
"In conclusion, I believe that my three clients are not guilty in this case. I hope the court will consider this case carefully and give my clients justice!"
Jin Wanyi ended her defense statement in a sonorous and forceful manner and looked at Gu Nianzhi provocatively.
In the courtroom, the judge and the two judges seemed to have been persuaded by Jin Wanyi. They discussed it with their heads together for a while and looked at Gu Nianzhi. Their tone was already a little unfriendly. "Plaintiff, lawyer Gu, what else do you have to say?"
The atmosphere in the courtroom became tense.
The receptionist, Xiao Zhang, couldn't help biting her fingernails. She was extremely worried about Gu Nianzhi.
She was a very clear person. She would help her relatives and not reason. Gu Nianzhi was her friend, and the other party was nothing to her. Of course, she would only worry about Gu Nianzhi.
From the looks of it, Gu Nianzhi's situation was really unfavorable..
Jin Dazhuang, who was sitting next to her, was a little calmer. Although from his professional perspective, Gu Nianzhi's chances of winning this lawsuit were indeed very low, it wasn't completely hopeless. It all depended on how far she wanted to go.
Bai Shuang was also worried to death. She covered her ears with her hands and didn't dare to listen anymore.
Zhao Liangze glanced at her and chuckled. "You can't take it anymore?"
Lu Yuan didn't say a word. He knew that this was the moment to test Gu Nianzhi. His gaze only swept between Wen Dayou and Liang Meili.
Lu Jin closed his eyes and crossed his arms. He was like an old monk in meditation. No one could tell what he was thinking.
Wen Shouyi's gaze quietly swept over Gu Nianzhi's group of relatives and friends. Seeing their nervous expressions, she couldn't help feeling a little smug.
This was because Jin Wanyi's defense today was all written by her.
Jin Wanyi had only recited it on the spot.
The facts proved that Gu Nianzhi was no match for her at all.
She shook her parents' hands and signaled with her eyes to reassure them.
Wen Dayou and Liang Meili heaved a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and smiled. They slowly sat up straight.
Gu Nianzhi's face darkened and she didn't say anything for a moment.
She knew that everyone's eyes were on her.
Narrowing her eyes, Gu Nianzhi thought to herself that if her father, Gu Xiangwen, was really dead, then the other party's string of testimony and chain of evidence would be almost flawless..
However, just like what she had said to Xiao Zhang before she appeared in court, the justice of heaven had long arms.
Although the heavenly clothes were flawless, there were no heavenly clothes in this world.
Therefore, a flawless testimony did not exist at all.
Gu Nianzhi slowly stood up and nodded slightly to the judge and the two judges in the courtroom. "Your Honor, please allow me to cross-examine the defendant."
"Lawyer Gu, are you still not giving up? My client can remain silent. If you have anything to say, you can ask me, "Jin Wanyi said with a smile. She turned off her laptop and was about to leave.
"Really?" Gu Nianzhi glanced at her nonchalantly. "Is it because your words can fully represent your client's words? If so, then I'll cross-examine you. "
Jin Wanyi froze for a moment.
She was the defendant's lawyer, but she couldn't guarantee that her words could fully represent the other party.
The corners of Wen Shouyi's mouth twitched. She crossed her arms and looked over calmly.
Gu Nianzhi really refused to give up. She wanted to see how she could make a comeback from a series of ironclad evidence.
According to the law, the defendant could remain silent. It was fine not to say a word from beginning to end.
She was worried about her parents, so she had come up with a strategy early in the morning to keep them silent during the trial.
Gu Nianzhi waited for a while. When she saw that the defendant's lawyer and the suspect were silent, she smiled and said, "Why are you so afraid of my cross-examination? Is it because you have a guilty conscience? Or are you afraid that you'll make more mistakes if you say more? "
Jin Wanyi rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "Objection! The plaintiff's lawyer is slandering my client with speculative words. "
"Sustained." The judge looked at Gu Nianzhi with a straight face. "Please get to the point as soon as possible."
Gu Nianzhi spread out her hands and glanced at Wen Dayou and Liang Meili. She smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to be afraid of my cross-examination. If you tell too many lies, they will become the truth. If you don't speak, the lies won't have a chance to become the truth. How about it? Why don't you accept my questioning? "
Her eyes were very big, and her pupils were extremely black. The whites of her eyes were so white that they were blue. When she looked at people, her eyes were clear and bright, like a mountain spring that could be seen to the end at a glance.
In front of such a pair of black and white eyes, not many people could continue to lie.
Wen Dayou and Liang Meili didn't dare to look at her again and lowered their heads.
Gu Nianzhi admired their embarrassment for a while before clapping her hands and saying, "Okay, I won't make things difficult for you. Actually, I don't have to interrogate you. "
"According to Article 53 of the Criminal Law, the sentencing of all cases must focus on evidence, investigation and research, and not on believing confessions easily."
"If there is only the defendant's confession and no other evidence, the defendant cannot be found guilty and sentenced."
"Without the defendant's confession and the evidence is conclusive and sufficient, the defendant can also be found guilty and sentenced."
Gu Nianzhi walked forward as she spoke. Finally, she stood in front of the dock and leaned forward slightly. She smiled and knocked on the table in the dock. "So, you can remain silent, but it won't stop the court from convicting you."
"In other words, whether or not you can be convicted has nothing to do with whether or not you will answer my questions."
Wen Dayou and Liang Meili looked up abruptly in shock.
"… Um, Shouyi, is this true?! We can be sentenced even if we don't speak?! "Liang Meili was the first to lose her composure and tugged at Wen Shouyi's wrist.
Wen Dayou wiped his face with his rough palm and asked hesitantly, "… How could this be? Didn't they say … "
"Didn't they say what?" Gu Nianzhi quickly and politely continued the conversation. "Mr. Wen, what did they promise you? If you have any questions, you can ask me. "
