Wen Dayou coughed subconsciously.
It was the first time in his life that he had been stared at by so many people, and he was not used to it.
His hunched body couldn't help but bend even lower.
He stared at a spot where the paint had peeled off at the corner of the dock and muttered, "A man who called himself Gu Xiangwen came to us seven times and asked us for help to let him meet his daughter, Miss Gu."
"Shouyi's mother and I didn't want to get involved in this kind of business, but he kept crying, crying."
"A grown man was crying like this. Shouyi's mother and I were soft-hearted and couldn't bear to see him cry, so we finally agreed."
"He told us that he wouldn't make things difficult for us, nor would he let us take any risks. As long as we found a chance to tell Miss Gu, she would come out to see him herself."
"I found a chance to tell Miss Gu about it," Gu Ning said.
As Wen Dayou spoke, he couldn't help glancing at Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi looked at him with a smile and had no intention of denying it at all. When she saw him looking over, she nodded at him and encouraged, "There's more. Continue."
Wen Dayou's heart skipped a beat. He completely believed what Shouyi had said. This girl's memory hadn't recovered..
Therefore, he became bolder and straightened his hunched back. He sat beside Wen Shouyi and was a head taller than her. However, as he spoke, he carefully looked at Wen Shouyi's expression. It was obvious that he doted on his daughter to the bone.
Gu Nianzhi watched coldly from the side and sighed in her heart. She thought to herself, Wen Shouyi is the one who doesn't know how lucky she is …
She has parents who love her so much, yet she still wants to hang out with someone as inhumane as Qin Yaoguang.
Wen Dayou caught a glimpse of the faint smile on Wen Shouyi's lips. He knew that his guess was correct and that he hadn't said anything wrong. He was even happier.
He looked away and continued to stare at the spot where the paint had peeled off at the corner of the table. He still had an honest expression on his face as he said, "Miss Gu was very surprised at that time. At first, she didn't believe me. Later, I said it a few times and brought you a letter that Gu Xiangwen wrote for you to read. After you read it, you believed it and immediately burned the letter in front of me."
Gu Nianzhi: "…"
How awesome.
This was made up. Another letter came out of nowhere, and then it was immediately burned by "herself".
Gu Nianzhi suppressed her laughter and nodded. "And then?"
"So you agreed to find a chance to sneak out to see your father on the day of the birthday party."
"There are so many people at the birthday party, and I'm the star of the show. How could I find a chance to sneak out?" Gu Nianzhi pretended to be surprised. "I don't think I'm that stupid, right?"
Wen Dayou's eyelids twitched. He braced himself and said, "Of course, you can't get out by yourself, so you asked us for help."
"Hehe, it was my father who asked for your help first, and then I asked for your help too." Gu Nianzhi nodded slowly and looked straight at Wen Dayou. "It seems that you two are really smart and capable people. It's a waste of your talents to let you be gardeners in the He family."
Wen Dayou's heart trembled under Gu Nianzhi's gaze. His back, which had just straightened up, couldn't help bending down again. He said humbly, "What are you talking about, lawyer Gu? We … we just happened to have the opportunity to enter the mansion to serve you, so we thought of a way to help you. "
"Yes, how?" Gu Nianzhi stopped smiling and continued to ask.
Wen Shouyi interrupted softly, "Don't you remember, lawyer Gu?"
"I'm cross-examining the defendant." Gu Nianzhi deliberately put on a bluff and changed the topic. "Or does Miss Wen want to add details?"
Wen Shouyi smiled and raised her chin at her father, Wen Dayou. "Go on. Don't be afraid."
Wen Dayou was encouraged by his daughter and quickly said, "Most of the people who came that day were children about the same age as Miss Gu. Young Master He said that it was best for the people who served to be children about the same age. That would be interesting. So most of the people who served that day were the children of us servants. "
"Shouyi's mother and I happened to be transferred to serve a few large bonsai plants that day."
"After entering the hall of the mansion, we contacted Miss Gu and agreed to leave a back door for her to run out when the lights went out."
Gu Nianzhi interrupted Wen Dayou at this time and said seriously, "So I ran out after the lights went out?"
"Yes." Wen Dayou quickly nodded. "The lights went out for about seven seconds. You left Young Master He's side and ran to the door. Shouyi's mother and I just made way for you. Also, we opened the back door for you first. "
Wen Shouyi sighed and said, "Lawyer Gu, you remember everything now, don't you? My parents really didn't kidnap you violently. You left of your own free will. This case should be closed, right? "
Gu Nianzhi raised her head and smiled faintly. She said, "Wen Dayou and Liang Meili kept saying that I left of my own free will, and that I ran out of the hall after the lights went out. But I have the surveillance video from that year here … "
As Gu Nianzhi spoke, she opened another folder on her laptop and clicked on the video inside.
She had already marked the video again.
Wen Shouyi's heart tightened, and her pupils constricted.
How could the He family's surveillance have slipped through the net?!
In the past few years, she and Auntie Qin had not found any surveillance footage from that year in the He family …
Gu Nianzhi caught a glimpse of Wen Shouyi's surprised expression and smiled. She picked up the laser pointer and pointed at the big screen. She said, "Everyone, please look. These are all the people in the He family's hall before the lights went out. I marked everyone's name according to the He family's guest list. "
"On the night of the birthday party, there were a total of 237 people in the living room of the He family's mansion. 185 of them were 11 or 12 years old children. They were all dressed in cartoon costumes, including the invited guests and the children who served as waiters."
"There were also 52 adults, including the He family's servants."
The video was projected on the big screen. Everyone had a name above their heads as they walked around the hall, just like in an online game.
Wen Shouyi's face turned pale, and she gradually clenched her fists.
After a while, she loosened her fists and couldn't help biting her fingernails.
Wen Dayou and Liang Meili watched this scene with their eyes wide open. They were very panicked.
Jin Wanyi didn't know that the surveillance video from eight years ago was still there. She frowned slightly and glanced at Wen Shouyi.
Wen Shouyi bit her fingernails and stared at the big screen.
The video played slowly, and finally, it was time to turn off the lights and blow out the candles.
Gu Nianzhi paused here for a moment and emphasized, "Just now, the defendant, Wen Dayou, said that I ran out of the He family's hall after the lights went out, so after the lights went out, there should be one less person in the hall."
Wen Shouyi's heart skipped a beat. She bit the nail on her right thumb until it bled, and the pain was excruciating.
She quickly sucked her thumb and looked down.
Gu Nianzhi continued to play the video as she paid attention to the reaction of the defendant.
The big screen quickly turned black. Seven seconds later, as the lights came on, the big screen also lit up.
By then, they had already realized that Gu Nianzhi had disappeared.
He Zhichu gave the order to immediately seal all the doors, and everyone had to stay where they were.
Gu Nianzhi paused again and said, "Everyone, look carefully. According to the defendant, Wen Dayou, he and Wen Shouyi's mother let me out when the lights went out, so there should be one less child in the hall now."
"After the lights went on, I marked everyone in the hall again. Look …"
Gu Nianzhi pointed at the names on the big screen with the laser pointer. "I counted several times, and it's still 237 people. Not one more, not one less."
"May I ask, if I've already run out, why hasn't the number of people in the hall changed?"
Gu Nianzhi walked out of the plaintiff's stand and stood in front of the defendant's stand. Her voice became serious. "Defendant Wen Dayou, answer me!"
Wen Dayou didn't dare look her in the eye and muttered, "How would I know? I've already left. Did I count wrongly? There are so many people … "
"More than 200 people are considered a lot? To you, counting to 237 is already an impossible task? " Gu Nianzhi couldn't help mocking him. She turned around and lit up the laser pointer, circling a person on the big screen.
"Defendant Wen Dayou and defendant Liang Meili, can you explain to the court that there was no one standing among you before the lights went out?"
"But after the lights went on, who is this child in a cloak and mask who appeared among you?!"
"I've marked the names of everyone in this surveillance video according to the treat list. Only this child appeared after the lights went out, and I can't find the corresponding name on the treat list!"
Her questions were getting more and more urgent and sharp. Beads of sweat broke out on Wen Dayou and Liang Meili's foreheads. Their lips trembled, and they couldn't say a complete sentence.
They looked at Jin Wanyi as if asking for help. "Lawyer Jin, you speak …"
Jin Wanyi was furious. She hated this kind of sudden evidence the most during a court debate.
She immediately said, "Objection! The plaintiff's evidence hasn't been proven to be true or false. How do we know it's not forged? "
Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Okay, you can tell Young Master He that this was saved by Young Master He from the He family's surveillance cameras."
"Why do you think Young Master He forged this video? Just to frame his gardener? "
