In the courtroom, the judge and the two jurors gathered together and began to discuss in low voices.
In order for the court to accept testimony, it had to be reasonable and based on evidence.
If the loopholes in the testimony could not be explained, then the testimony would be invalid and should not be accepted by the court.
Gu Nianzhi's two experiments happened to prove the uncertainty and objectivity of the passers-by's testimony.
Actually, if Wen Shouyi could also insist that the two people were Gu Xiangwen and the 12-year-old Gu Nianzhi, then the testimony would be more credible.
Unfortunately, she was the most familiar with Gu Nianzhi out of the three witnesses, yet she insisted that she didn't know who the two people were. This was very strong evidence, and it was from the defendant's side. It was very strong counter-evidence.
After careful consideration, the judge and the two jurors agreed to Gu Nianzhi's request.
"The plaintiff's lawyer is right. If the defense can't produce stronger evidence, the testimony of these two passers-by will be declared invalid."
So far, two of the three pieces of ironclad evidence on the chain of evidence had already been declared invalid.
Now there was only the last piece of "ironclad evidence" left, and it was also the most reliable evidence. It was the note from Gu Xiangwen.
Jin Wanyi's eyes dimmed. She pursed her lips tightly, revealing her square jaw.
Wen Shouyi looked at Gu Nianzhi expressionlessly. She wanted to see how she was going to overturn the most reliable piece of evidence.
Gu Nianzhi also knew that everyone in the courtroom was looking at her, waiting for her to refute the last piece of evidence.
Although this piece of evidence seemed the most difficult to overturn, it wasn't difficult at all if she figured out the mystery behind it.
Gu Nianzhi clicked on a folder again and opened a picture file inside.
This was the note from Gu Xiangwen. "You don't have to look for it anymore. I've taken my daughter away!"
Gu Nianzhi felt a headache coming on when she saw this flamboyant sentence.
Her father was really wild and flamboyant …
Lu Jin covered his face and wished he could crawl under his seat.
How could he come up with such a stupid thing to say about the dark history of the past!
He could actually remind Gu Nianzhi of what was going on, but because he was embarrassed and because he didn't really want to overturn the case, he didn't say anything and let it be.
But now that Gu Nianzhi wanted to overturn the case, he could only watch on in fear.
Lu Jin was extremely glad that he hadn't told Gu Nianzhi about the note.
He silently thought that if Gu Nianzhi could overturn the "irrefutable evidence" on this note, then he … would have to reevaluate his daughter's legal ability.
Gu Nianzhi's gaze swept across the courtroom and paused on Lu Jin's lowered head for a moment before looking away as if nothing had happened.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the screen again and said to the judge, "Your Honor, can I see the original copy of that note with my own eyes?"
The judge nodded. "Sure."
She motioned to the bailiff and placed the clear plastic bag containing the original note in front of Gu Nianzhi.
In front of everyone, Gu Nianzhi put on translucent latex gloves and carefully opened the plastic bag to take out the note.
She held the note and walked to the defendant's stand. She placed it on the table in front of Wen Shouyi and Jin Wanyi and asked seriously, "Can you confirm again that this note was handed to Young Master He eight years ago?"
Eight years ago, He Zhichu didn't know who had done it until the hypnotized orderly sent the note. Then Wen Shouyi said that she had seen a man and a little girl get into the car. Finally, two passers-by confirmed that they had also seen a tall and thin man and a fair and chubby little girl get into the car.
With these three pieces of evidence, He Zhichu pinned the crime of "culprit" on Gu Xiangwen.
A month later, there was a car fire in the downtown area of C City. Although Gu Xiangwen and the car were burned to ashes, it completely proved that Gu Nianzhi's sudden disappearance was Gu Xiangwen's doing …
In the end, there was no evidence more effective than Gu Xiangwen's own handwriting.
Jin Wanyi grinned and smiled joyfully. "Yes! This is the original copy of that note! "
Wen Shouyi also said sinisterly, "It's this one. I saw the orderly hand it to Young Master He with my own eyes."
"So this is the evidence that Gu Xiangwen wanted to kidnap me eight years ago, right?" Gu Nianzhi confirmed again and stared at Wen Shouyi.
Wen Shouyi's heart skipped a beat. She felt that something was wrong.
Every time Gu Nianzhi said this, it was like she had dug a hole for them to jump into.
It was all a trap!
But after thinking about it carefully, she realized that other things could be forged, but this note was definitely Gu Xiangwen's handwriting.
What was she afraid of?!
Under Gu Nianzhi's burning gaze, Wen Shouyi nodded reluctantly. "Yes, this is the strongest evidence. It proves that Gu Xiangwen did everything. It has nothing to do with my parents, and it has nothing to do with me! "
"Don't be in a hurry to deny it." Gu Nianzhi smiled at her and took the note back to the plaintiff's stand. She suddenly said, "Your Honor, I want to apply for an instrument."
The judge was slightly taken aback. "Apply for an instrument? Now? "
"Yes." Gu Nianzhi nodded. "I want to apply for an instrument that can test the time when handwriting is formed in court."
She had asked around and the Imperial Intermediate People's Court happened to have such an instrument.
However, it was more difficult to rent it out. She could only use it in court.
Moreover, this would be more credible. Therefore, Gu Nianzhi did not inform the court in advance. Instead, she waited until the last piece of evidence was examined before bringing it up.
This would also prevent the other party from taking the opportunity to "destroy" the evidence.
When the judge heard that it was an instrument to test the time when handwriting was formed, he quickly nodded and said, "Sure, I'll get someone to borrow one."
The instrument had now been miniaturized and was about the size of a scanner.
The archaeologist world usually used carbon-14 dating to measure the age of relics.
However, the identification of the time when handwriting was formed used to be more complicated and stringent.
Later, the ultra-high-performance gas chromatograph was introduced.
It mainly analyzed volatile organic matter, especially ink.
When ink was written on paper, it could be analyzed by gas chromatography. By impregnating the paper with ink, the polymer compounds were split into volatile low-molecular fragments.
All of this could be seen under the ultra-high-performance small gas chromatograph. It could obtain technical data such as the number of peaks, retention time, and peak height ratio of the chromatograph formed by the ink on the paper. From this, it could deduce the approximate time when the handwriting was formed.
Although it could not be accurate to the day, hour, minute, and second when the handwriting was formed, it was no longer a problem to be accurate to the year and month.
Lu Jin immediately raised his head and looked at Gu Nianzhi in shock at Gu Nianzhi's request.
He hadn't expected Gu Nianzhi to be able to think of testing the time when the handwriting was formed on the note!
He had never mentioned this to Gu Nianzhi. It was all Gu Nianzhi's own idea!
How did he give birth to such a smart daughter?!
Lu Jin cheered himself on in his heart …
..
Jin Wanyi watched curiously as the bailiff handed the ultra-high-performance small gas chromatograph to Gu Nianzhi.
Wen Shouyi also looked at Gu Nianzhi in confusion, not knowing what she was going to do.
Why didn't she ask to test the authenticity of the handwriting, but to test the time when the handwriting was formed?
Wen Shouyi knew that the note was indeed Gu Xiangwen's handwriting, so they were extremely confident that the chain of evidence was flawless.
But Gu Nianzhi … What was she going to do?
Gu Nianzhi completed the test of the time when the handwriting was formed on the note under the gaze of everyone in the courtroom.
With the help of this ultra-high-performance small gas chromatograph, Gu Nianzhi came to a conclusion ten minutes later.
"Your Honor, according to the defendant, this note was written eight years ago, but the gas chromatograph provided by the court has just detected that the time when the handwriting was formed was not October eight years ago, but June 14 years ago!"
Gu Nianzhi's words were like a drop of cold water suddenly falling into a pot of oil. Everyone's minds exploded.
Jin Wanyi quickly stood up. "Lawyer Gu, what do you mean? Even if this note was not written eight years ago, but 14 years ago, it was still written by Gu Xiangwen! You didn't deny that this is Gu Xiangwen's handwriting! "
"Yes, I didn't deny that this is Gu Xiangwen's handwriting, but the time when the handwriting was formed is crucial." Gu Nianzhi's face darkened, and she said coldly, "June 14 years ago, I wasn't even six years old. At that time, I wasn't at the He family at all. I was with Qin Yaoguang."
"Why did my father, Gu Xiangwen, write a note to the He family 14 years ago saying that he wanted to take me away?!"
"May I ask if you're so stupid that you believe such nonsense, or am I so stupid that I believe in your professional ability?!"
Gu Nianzhi's sharp words made Jin Wanyi angry.
She said loudly, "Objection! The plaintiff's lawyer is personally attacking me! "
Gu Nianzhi finally rolled her eyes and ignored Jin Wanyi. She continued, "Actually, once you understand the timeline, the reason is very simple."
"This note was indeed written by my father, Gu Xiangwen, but it wasn't written to the He family at my birthday party eight years ago. It was written to Qin Yaoguang 14 years ago!"
"Because that year, my father took me away from Qin Yaoguang and sent me to the He family!"
"And now, a note that should have fallen into Qin Yaoguang's hands has actually fallen into the He family's hands, and it has become irrefutable evidence that Gu Xiangwen kidnapped me from the He family. If this isn't framing, then what is?!"
"I have reason to believe that there's a new suspect in this case, and it's Qin Yaoguang!"
