The second photo that Gu Nianzhi released was the police scene photo from back then. It was the scene of Qin Suwen's sudden death.
The white chalk drawing on the ground was how Qin Suwen looked when she fell to the ground.
He Zhichu had helped her get this photo. It wasn't the first time she had seen this photo, but now that she looked at it, her heart still felt stifled.
However, she was already able to control her emotions. Her tone was slow and clear as she continued to explain. "This is a photo of lawyer Qin Suwen's sudden death in her own study 12 years ago. The forensic examination at the time proved that lawyer Qin Suwen died of a congenital heart attack."
Gu Nianzhi paused for a moment. She pressed the keyboard and released the third photo.
This photo showed the entrance of the Qin orphanage.
She said, "This is the orphanage that the Qin family acquired in C City. The deceased, Qin Suwen, lost both her parents in a car accident, and she didn't find any relatives in the country who could adopt her, so she was sent to this orphanage."
As Gu Nianzhi spoke, she typed out the fourth and fifth photos.
The two photos were juxtaposed, and the contrast was very stark.
The fourth photo showed a rather depressing small room. There were two rows of simple shelves on the east and west sides. There were three beds in each row, and there were six beds in total. It could sleep 12 people.
"This was the dormitory of lawyer Qin Suwen in the orphanage when she was young."
Gu Nianzhi then pointed at the fifth photo with the laser pointer.
It was a very luxurious and comfortable bedroom for a young girl. It was gray and low-key, decorated with pink. It was elegant and romantic. The pony logo that could be seen everywhere inside showed that the furnishings inside were all luxury brand Hermes.
"This is Qin Yaoguang's bedroom in the Qin family."
The shabbiness and luxury immediately formed a sharp contrast, successfully arousing the audience's sympathy for Qin Suwen.
She had gone from a high and mighty lawyer in the eyes of ordinary people, the mistress of the powerful He family, to an orphan girl who had no one to rely on and could be trampled on.
Qin Yaoguang had gone from a simple scientist who had made great achievements to a rich second generation who loved luxury goods.
Qin Yaoguang's chief defense lawyer, Lu Anpeng, instantly understood Gu Nianzhi's intentions. He immediately raised his hand and said, "Objection! The prosecution lawyer continues to use comparisons that have nothing to do with the case to slander my client. "
This kind of psychological suggestion would make the judge and the audience involuntarily favor the weaker side, which was extremely disadvantageous for Qin Yaoguang.
Gu Nianzhi immediately said, "Your Honor, I am presenting the case, and I will prove that this has a lot to do with our charges."
The judge thought for a moment. "May the prosecution witness get to the point as soon as possible and state the facts of the case."
Gu Nianzhi saw that she had achieved her goal, so she didn't continue.
She understood that going too far was as bad as not going far enough.
She nodded. "Yes, Your Honor."
Gu Nianzhi stopped playing the photos. Instead, she looked at the people in the courtroom and continued speaking in a low, excited voice.
"Lawyer Qin Suwen grew up in such a Qin family orphanage when she was young, and Qin Yaoguang was the daughter of the Qin family. She had the means to borrow the power of the Qin family and mentally torture Qin Suwen for several years. It was not until Qin Suwen got engaged to General He Chengjian that Qin Yaoguang's mental persecution of Qin Suwen temporarily stopped."
"But Qin Yaoguang didn't let it go. A few months before Qin Suwen died, the medicine she took was personally written by Qin Yaoguang. We have the prescription from that year to prove it."
Gu Nianzhi took out a photocopy of the prescription and waved it in front of everyone.
"The judge confirmed her identity just now. Qin Yaoguang is a brain surgeon and biomedical expert, not a cardiologist. Why did she prescribe medicine to a heart patient?"
"Lawyer Qin Suwen was diagnosed with congenital heart disease when she was young. Congenital heart disease isn't a disease that will definitely kill you. If you take good care of yourself, you won't get sick. Once you get sick, you must have been severely stimulated both physically and mentally. "
"Then why did Ms. Qin Yaoguang provoke Lawyer Qin Suwen?"
"There's a fact here that I think everyone knows. Back then, Ms. Qin Yaoguang was engaged to General He Chengjian first, but later, General He Chengjian broke off the engagement."
"After General He Chengjian broke off the engagement, the person who got engaged to him was lawyer Qin Suwen."
"The eldest daughter of the Qin family had her engagement taken away by an orphan girl from her own orphanage. This was a great humiliation that Ms. Qin Yaoguang would never forget for the rest of her life."
"In the ten years that followed, Ms. Qin Yaoguang didn't stay away from the He family because of her emotional injury. Instead, she was actively active in the He family's social circle and even became the He family's family health care doctor."
"After lawyer Qin Suwen passed away, Qin Yaoguang finally got what she wanted and married General He Chengjian, whom she loved with all her heart."
"What's more, after she murdered lawyer Qin Suwen, she was worried that her evil deeds would eventually be discovered. She even bribed a doctor who had frozen lawyer Qin Suwen's body with liquid nitrogen to mix corrosive microbes into the freezer. In the end, lawyer Qin Suwen's body, which should have been well-preserved, turned into a pile of bones."
The last photo that Gu Nianzhi typed was the photo of the bones in the liquid nitrogen freezer column.
The impact of this photo was too strong. In the front, there was a living person, but in the back, there was only a pile of bones.
No one inside or outside the courtroom could react. For a moment, there was a dead silence.
He Chengjian's brows furrowed even tighter. His lips trembled violently, and he almost couldn't control himself.
He Zhichu quickly held the back of his hand and patted it gently.
He Chengjian glanced at him and said in a low voice, "… How did it become Qin Yaoguang's doing? Didn't the doctor confess to being someone else? "
Because they were in court, He Chengjian didn't say Gu Xiangwen's name.
He Zhichu whispered, "Nianzhi has her reasons for saying that. Don't worry, continue listening."
The defendant already knew who the doctor had confessed to.
He just didn't know why Gu Nianzhi still blamed Qin Yaoguang for this.
Lu Jin, who was sitting in the crowd, had a hostile expression on his face. He stared at the back of He Chengjian's head with an unfriendly gaze, as if he wanted to poke a hole in the back of his head with his gaze.
Gu Nianzhi's gaze swept across everyone's faces in the courtroom. She dropped another hint and ended her statement of the case.
"In summary, we have reason to believe that in order to achieve the goal of marrying General He Chengjian, Ms. Qin Yaoguang had the motive, means, and opportunity to commit the crime. Knowing that Qin Suwen had congenital heart disease, she used drugs and direct psychological stimulation to cause her sudden death.
"Qin Yaoguang is the murderer who murdered Qin Suwen.
"We request that Qin Yaoguang be brought to justice to pay for the murder of lawyer Qin Suwen, who was murdered 12 years ago."
"Your Honor, this is what happened in this case."
After she finished speaking, the lights in the courtroom gradually lit up again.
From darkness to light, it was only a blink of an eye, but it was enough to make people feel the beauty of the light.
The judge nodded and looked at the defendant's lawyer. "May I ask if the defendant's lawyer has anything to say?"
The defendant's chief lawyer, Lu Anpeng, stood up unhurriedly.
He was almost 50 years old, but he took good care of himself. He usually paid attention to exercise, so he had a good figure. He could wear a suit and had the aura of a clothes rack.
He also had a dignified and righteous appearance. As soon as he stood out, some people had a good impression of him.
Lu Anpeng nodded politely at the judge. "Your Honor …"
He raised his head and swept his gaze across the dense crowd in the courtroom, as well as the cameras and various live broadcast equipment on the aisles in front of the walls on both sides of the courtroom. He smiled and said, "Hello, ladies and gentlemen, viewers and netizens in front of their televisions and phones."
"I'm Lu Anpeng, a partner of the Jin Law Firm. I've practiced law for 30 years, but I've never heard such a moving courtroom case statement. It's even better than a radio drama."
He smiled humorously, instantly dispelling the slightly tense and oppressive atmosphere in the courtroom.
Gu Nianzhi's pupils constricted imperceptibly.
This Lu Anpeng was indeed an expert. He was also well-versed in psychological cues and the Tai Chi posture of "moving a thousand pounds with little effort".
As soon as he came up, he pointed out that Gu Nianzhi's statement of the case was exaggerated.
Gu Nianzhi wouldn't let him continue hinting. She retorted with a smile, "Lawyer Lu, you flatter me. My eloquence is limited. I can't express one percent of the twists and turns of this case. I've disappointed everyone."
Everyone: "…"
How could this be called limited eloquence?!
Looking at the lawyer who was lying through his teeth and belittling himself was also intoxicating.
Lu Anpeng smiled generously and shook his head. "No, lawyer Gu is wrong. This case isn't twists and turns at all."
"On the contrary, this case is very simple. That's why I'm surprised that our prosecutor's office and court actually accepted such a case that was made up out of nothing."
As he spoke, Lu Anpeng made a gesture to the technicians in the courtroom.
The lights in the courtroom went out again, and the white projection screen lit up.
Lu Anpeng also had a video he had personally made waiting for Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi saw it and said humorously, "In a lawsuit these days, it's not enough to just memorize the legal provisions and analyze the case. A lawyer also has to be a film and television producer …"
Everyone inside and outside the courtroom laughed.
However, Lu Anpeng knew that Gu Nianzhi's words weren't just humorous, but derogatory of the evidence he was about to present as "film and television production".
Lu Anpeng smiled and glanced at her. "Likewise."
He didn't let her lead him on. He pressed the play button on his laptop.
As the gentle music played, Lu Anpeng's pleasant baritone voice was like a commentator on TV, whispering in everyone's ears.
The video also showed the study where Qin Suwen suddenly died, but what followed was an outdoor scene. It was a photo of Qin Suwen standing with a tall man.
Everyone could tell that it was an autumn day. The two of them were standing under a fiery red maple tree.
Light shone through the gaps in the maple leaves. Qin Suwen raised her head, and her eyes seemed to be dancing with sunlight.
The man standing in front of her was extraordinarily handsome, but his naturally arrogant expression made his handsomeness seem distant, making it difficult for others to approach him.
Lu Anpeng continued, "This man is Gu Xiangwen. He has a good relationship with lawyer Qin Suwen, and he's also a partner of my client, Ms. Qin Yaoguang. They run a biomedical laboratory together."
"Oh, right, this Gu Xiangwen is also a double Nobel Prize winner in biology and physics."
"He's the last person lawyer Qin Suwen saw before she died."
"We have evidence from the police at the time that lawyer Qin Suwen had a congenital heart attack and died in her own study. The last person she saw before she died was this great scientist Gu Xiangwen."
"So, as the prosecution's lawyer said, it wasn't Qin Yaoguang who directly provoked Qin Suwen and caused her sudden death."
