"Lawyer Gu, please don't induce my client to confess!"
Jin Wanyi quickly stopped Gu Nianzhi from talking to Wen Dayou. She was also worried that Wen Dayou didn't know the law and would accidentally expose their strategy.
Gu Nianzhi patted their dock and smiled. "Alright, you won't even allow me to ask questions, and you still have the cheek to say that I induced a confession. — — Lawyer Jin, did you win all your previous lawsuits like this? "
Jin Wanyi blushed and braced herself. "I told you, you can ask me."
"Alright, looks like I can only ask you." Gu Nianzhi turned to look at the judge in the courtroom. "Your Honor, may I begin my questioning?"
The judge raised his hand. "Please don't waste time and get to the point as soon as possible."
Gu Nianzhi nodded and pointed at Jin Wanyi's laptop. "You don't need to use the big screen in the courtroom anymore, do you?"
Jin Wanyi froze and shook her head. "No need, I've already used it."
"Alright, then I'll use it." Gu Nianzhi easily walked back to the plaintiff's stand and connected her laptop to the big screen in the courtroom.
Jin Wanyi: "???"
This was Gu Nianzhi's question?
Was this a lawsuit or a child's house party?!
Gu Nianzhi connected the big screen, but she didn't immediately open her evidence. She just kept the blue screen and walked back to the defendant's stand. She nodded at Jin Wanyi.
"Lawyer Jin, the first question I want to ask is, you just said that Gu Xiangwen cried to your client many times and wanted them to bring me out to meet him. May I ask if they have any concrete evidence to prove that my father, Gu Xiangwen, really cried to them?"
Jin Wanyi pursed her lips in disdain. "I already said that he cried to them in private. What evidence do you want?"
"That means no one else saw it other than the couple, right?"
"Of course, Gu Xiangwen is a wanted criminal with a murder case on his back. It's impossible for him to pay a visit so openly and let everyone see that he went to look for my client secretly." Jin Wanyi refuted without hesitation.
"Then are there any other videos or notes that can prove that Gu Xiangwen did ask them to do this?" Gu Nianzhi tried her best to find out if the other party had any evidence in this regard.
Unexpectedly, Jin Wanyi still shook her head. "Of course not. My client is an honest man. Why would he beat around the bush? "
Gu Nianzhi nodded and smiled. She then put away her smile and said coldly, "That means that the so-called crying complaints are just their one-sided story. Everyone knows that my father, Gu Xiangwen, died in a fire eight years ago, so this is your plan? Dead men tell no tales? "
Before Jin Wanyi could smile, Gu Nianzhi's words froze her in place.
"… What do you mean by dead men tell no tales?"
"This is what it means by 'dead men tell no tales.'" Gu Nianzhi's voice was as cold as a frozen mountain spring.
"But my client swears they're telling the truth. They were honest people, their whole lives … "
Jin Wanyi chattered non-stop about how honest Wen Dayou and Liang Meili were. She even gave testimonies about their neighbors and colleagues.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the testimony presented by Jin Wanyi and smiled mockingly. "They can prove Wen Dayou and Liang Meili's character, but can they prove that Gu Xiangwen once looked for Wen Dayou and Liang Meili?"
Jin Wanyi was silent.
"Taking ten thousand steps back, if what they said is true, then when and where did Gu Xiangwen cry to them? How many times did he cry? Even if they can't find a witness to prove it, they can at least remember this, right? "
"I remember, I remember." Jin Wanyi was delighted and secretly praised Wen Shouyi for doing her homework. She had considered all of this. She took out a document that Wen Dayou and Liang Meili had signed and said, "I visited them yesterday and recorded it on the spot."
Gu Nianzhi took the document and only glanced through it casually. She said calmly, "So eight years ago, Gu Xiangwen looked for you seven times. Four times were in the workers' room of the He family's mansion, and the other three times were when he was out shopping for groceries."
"By the way, if it was when he was out shopping for groceries, why did you say that no one could prove it? There were enough people in the market, right? How could no one see a grown man crying at your side? — — Weibo's news, or the Embarrassing Moments Encyclopedia didn't record it? "
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips in amusement and continued, "Do you dare to show this to the He family? For example, let General He or Young Master He know that the person they had wanted for several years had actually entered the workers' room of the He family's mansion not just once, but four times! "
"Also, the He family's security is really useless. Anyone can come and go as they please … "Gu Nianzhi shook her head." If that's the case, I think General He and Young Master He's personal safety is a problem. I don't know how they survived all these years … "
Wen Dayou's heart tightened and he quickly winked at Wen Shouyi.
Wen Shouyi was deep in thought, thinking about how to fill in the gaps.
Suddenly remembering that Gu Xiangwen was very good at hypnosis, she immediately said, "Actually, that's not surprising. The He family's security is indeed top-notch, but that's only for ordinary people, not for Gu Xiangwen. Gu Xiangwen is a master of hypnosis. Those security guards are useless to him. He can come and go as he pleases wherever he wants to go. "
Gu Nianzhi laughed. "Lawyer Wen, when you have time, study more, read more scientific literature, and read less unreliable legendary novels. Hypnosis is magical, but this kind of deep hypnosis can only work on one person at a time. It's impossible for it to work on a group of people at the same time. The He family's mansion is surrounded by armed military police. Do you think Gu Xiangwen can hypnotize them all at the same time and sneak into the He family's mansion? "
"Besides, if he's really that powerful, why would he cry to your parents for help? Your parents are just gardeners. Why would he need to hire two servants to do such a dangerous thing? "
"If he really can hypnotize all the military police at the same time, he might as well go straight to the room to find me and take me away. Why would he have to cry to your parents and go through so much trouble to wait for the birthday party to create all kinds of evidence for you to catch him red-handed?!"
Gu Nianzhi clicked her tongue and concluded, "In short, in order to push the blame to Gu Xiangwen, you guys don't even care about common sense. You even made a fool of yourself with something so obviously illogical. Can I add perjury to your parents? "
The corners of Wen Shouyi's eyes twitched when she heard this. For a moment, she couldn't figure out where Gu Nianzhi had gotten the perfect evidence.
Jin Wanyi looked at her again and again, but Wen Shouyi didn't give her any hints. She could only bite the bullet and say, "… No matter what, you were indeed in Gu Xiangwen's hands in the end!"
Gu Nianzhi snorted. "That's a separate matter. At least now it proves that Gu Xiangwen's crying to Wen Dayou and Liang Meili for help didn't exist at all. They made it up."
She turned to look at the judge. "Your Honor, I ask the court to agree that the other party's testimony is invalid. Because they don't have any concrete evidence, and they can't justify themselves. They can't even produce a picture. It's too obvious that they've made it up. "
The judge considered it for a moment and agreed that it was too dramatic for them to say that Gu Xiangwen had cried to them many times. It sounded strange, so he asked Jin Wanyi amiably, "Defense lawyer, shouldn't you ask the client if there's any evidence of Gu Xiangwen crying to them? Any evidence will do. "
If it was just based on what they said, this piece of evidence would probably be invalidated.
Jin Wanyi subconsciously glanced at Wen Shouyi.
Wen Shouyi's face was livid. She hadn't expected that even if Gu Xiangwen was dead, Gu Nianzhi would still be able to find so many loopholes in a piece of evidence that had no evidence.
She sat and didn't say anything. She only glanced at Jin Wanyi indifferently.
Jin Wanyi understood and said aggrievedly, "Your Honor, since the court doesn't want to accept this piece of evidence, there's nothing we can do. But my client can swear …"
"That's enough. If swearing works, why do you need a judge's trial?" Gu Nianzhi looked up at the big blue screen disdainfully and sneered, "You make it sound like you don't know that people can lie. A person like you has never lost. I'm suddenly full of confidence in my future in the legal world."
She pressed the power button on her laptop, and the computer started up. Her screensaver appeared on the big screen.
It was a white swan flying freely — a strategic nuclear bomber.
The judge announced, "Gu Xiangwen's testimony of crying to Wen Dayou and Liang Meili for help is invalid. Defense lawyer, please organize your words carefully."
Gu Nianzhi quickly said, "Thank you, Your Honor."
Gu Nianzhi opened her folder and continued, "Now let's take a look at the testimony of these two passers-by, as well as Ms. Wen Shouyi's testimony."
"The two passers-by said that they saw a tall, thin man holding a chubby, white girl of 11 or 12 years old at the corner of the street. Although they didn't see the front, they recognized the photo of Gu Xiangwen and me when I was 12 years old from the figure and side profile. "
"And Miss Wen Shouyi directly told Young Master He at that time that you had just come back from school and saw someone taking a little girl around the corner in front of the door and leaving in a car."
Gu Nianzhi looked inside and outside the courtroom and her gaze stopped on Wen Shouyi's face. "Those two witnesses didn't come today, but Miss Wen is also one of the defendants. I want to ask you, as the defendant, will you accept my questioning?"
