Not only was Gu Nianzhi not embarrassed by Aref's rebuttal, but her smile deepened.
Faint dimples appeared on the corners of her lips. She was so delicate and gentle that it made people feel pity for her. It almost made people forget how valiant she was in court.
She tilted her head slightly and stood against the light. She raised her hand and clapped twice, then said with a smile, "So Mr. Lari also thinks that we shouldn't follow American precedents, but should follow Huaxia Empire's laws and precedents?! That's exactly what I thought. That's great! "
Before the other party could react, Gu Nianzhi quickly said, "The defense lawyer, Mr. Aref, and I have reached an agreement. According to Huaxia Empire's laws, this foreign criminal case occurred in Huaxia Empire, and the kidnap and premeditated murder victims were also Huaxia Empire citizens. They also killed many of our soldiers, so our Huaxia Empire's High Military Court has complete and inseparable jurisdiction and jurisdiction over this case. "
She paused for a moment and watched as Aref's dark red face turned purple. Then, she slowly said, "… Previously, we allowed you to fight the jurisdiction lawsuit for two months because we were giving you face and taking care of your emotions. Do you think we really thought that there was a dispute over the jurisdiction of this case? I think there's no need to fight anymore. Why waste money and manpower? "
Turning to look at the judge in the courtroom, Gu Nianzhi stopped smiling and said seriously, "Your Honor, please allow me to represent my client, Ms. Song Jinning, and the imperial military to sue Kevin Laris, an American citizen, for illegal gun possession, explosion, kidnapping, and premeditated murder on Christmas Eve."
An imperceptible smile flashed in the judge's eyes.
With a normal expression, he knocked the gavel and said, "Agreed. Prosecution lawyer, please state your case."
Aref finally reacted and immediately shouted without any regard for anything else, "Objection! Jurisdiction is jurisdiction, and this is another case. We can't interfere with another case here. That's against the spirit of the law! "
Aref had learned his lesson. He no longer mentioned "American precedents" and directly used the universal spirit of the law to speak.
Gu Nianzhi shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Fine, I won't interfere, but we're talking about this case now. Can't you be a little more polite and give the prosecution a chance to speak?"
Her display of weakness caused a huge reaction both inside and outside the courtroom.
This case was heard by the Imperial High Military Court. As usual, it was not open to the public, nor would it be broadcasted live.
However, the court and the reporters had their own shorthand and cartographers. They could write down every word that was said in the court and use the pictures to carry out a text broadcast on the Internet.
Many people did not expect that in this modern era, where one could watch countless interesting live streams on their mobile phones, there would be so many people watching text streams with relish. It was as if they had returned to the ancient era of MUDs. At that time, there were no colorful game graphics like now. Only text description of the progress could be played all night.
The official Weibo of the court, which was broadcasting the text live, was crowded with netizens, and the screen was flooded with comments every minute.
Fortunately, the Weibo system had been automatically upgraded. It was impossible for it to crash, not in this lifetime.
He could only tell the outside world that the artificial intelligence of the Weibo system had reached a new level to deceive everyone.
When the netizens saw Gu Nianzhi's weak words, they didn't think that she was useless. Instead, their sympathy was aroused.
[This American lawyer is asking for a beating! You're defending a suspect! Those who didn't know better would think that he was the victim! He's screaming louder than the victim!]
[You should know about the American double standards. It's delicious when eaten with a long arm. It's called the public dog food of the century. Dogs that don't kneel properly won't be fed.]
[Chief Gu, don't give them face! Don't let them live! Beat them to death!]
[Previous poster, it's too bloody! But I like it!]
…
Everyone outside the court was agitated. Many people inside the court also looked down on the American team of lawyers.
Lu Anpeng glanced at Arif to his left and coughed.
Lu Anpeng was the true chief defense lawyer in this team of lawyers. No matter how indignant Arif was, he had to give Lu Anpeng some face.
He swallowed his anger and snorted. He sat down and didn't say anything else.
Gu Nianzhi politely saluted all the people in the courtroom, then looked at Kevin, who was sitting in the defendant's dock.
After more than two months of detention, Kevin, who had originally been elegant and handsome, looked very haggard.
His face was a little pale, but it wasn't the bright white that Huaxia people liked. Instead, it had a kind of light gray to it, like it was a dirty white that was brewed from poor quality lotus root starch.
His eye sockets were sunken, and the dark circles under his eyes looked like he hadn't slept for many days.
He was also very thin, like a bamboo pole. The black suit on him was obviously empty, like a clothes hanger.
He was no longer as carefree and almost frivolous as before. He was very quiet now, and his eyes were almost lifeless as he sat in the court.
It was obvious that he was deliberately showing weakness. Perhaps he was pretending to be a mental patient.
Gu Nianzhi silently evaluated Kevin's state in her mind and began her statement.
"Your Honor, ladies and gentlemen inside and outside the court, today I represent my client, Director Song Jinning of the Institute of High Energy Physics, and the military to sue Kevin Laris, an American, for kidnapping and premeditated murder on Christmas Eve."
As Gu Nianzhi spoke, she gestured for the technician in the court to dim the lights and connect the computer in front of her to the big screen. She began to play the video taken from the surveillance cameras that day.
She saw Kevin, surrounded by a group of mercenaries comparable to the regular army, fleeing in panic outside the city.
Gunshots rang out continuously, crackling like firecrackers in the quiet night.
Gu Nianzhi switched the screen and split it into two. One side played the video taken by the surveillance cameras along the way that night, and the other began to explain the weapon.
"Italian Beretta Model 92F pistol, US military issue, also known as M9.
"The bullets used in this gun are 9mm Barabellum bullets. The pistol is 217mm in length and has an effective range of 50 meters. High accuracy, good performance, extremely low battle damage, and repair takes less than 10 minutes. It comes with a silent device, and the paint is very suitable for use at night.
"According to our country's ordnance experts who studied the bullet holes and ballistic curves at the scene, as well as seized evidence, this type of issue was the main gun used by Kevin's side in the Christmas Eve gunfight.
"He killed five of our soldiers and seriously injured seven."
As Gu Nianzhi spoke, she clicked the mouse, and a second gun appeared on the screen. This time, it wasn't a handgun, but a sniper rifle.
