Kevin's face was still expressionless.
He didn't even look at the student books. His lips were pursed tightly, and two wrinkles even appeared on his thin face.
Gu Nianzhi didn't say anything and waited quietly for five minutes before walking over to Kevin. She leaned over slightly and asked with a smile, "Mr. Kevin, why aren't you saying anything? Do you not know him? "
Kevin still had a blank expression on his face, as if he was immersed in his own world.
The corners of Gu Nianzhi's mouth twitched as she turned to look at the Indian lawyer, Arif, and the lead lawyer, Lu Anpeng, and said with a smile, "That's really strange. Since you say this is Kevin Laris, then why isn't he even willing to circle out the classmates he's familiar with? Do you not know him? Or do you not know him at all … "
The Indian lawyer, Arif, immediately cried out, "Objection! The prosecution's lawyer made baseless accusations against my client and harmed my client's right to reputation! "
Gu Nianzhi shrugged and folded her hands behind her back as she took a step back. She cocked her head and continued to look at Kevin.
It was as if she had never seen him before. Her gaze was heavy and so sharp that people didn't dare to meet her eyes.
However, Kevin remained expressionless. He only shifted his gaze slightly to look at the tips of his toes that were pressed together.
"Tsk tsk, is it that difficult? I've already placed the student books with names, names, and pictures in front of you. Can't you even circle out five classmates you're particularly familiar with? Don't tell me you really don't know any of them? "
Gu Nianzhi said airily as she tapped her finger on the defendant's stand in front of Kevin, but her eyes were on Lu Anpeng.
The corners of her lips curled into a playful smile as she said slowly, "Lawyer Lu, what's going on? Can you explain? You said he's the Kevin Laris in this ID, but he doesn't seem to want to admit it … "
The corners of Kevin's eyes twitched uncontrollably when he heard this.
In a place where no one could see, his hands clenched into fists, but he quickly unclenched them.
How treacherous …
The same thought surfaced in both Kevin and Lu Anpeng's minds at the same time.
The members of the legal team suddenly thought of a possibility as well, and their expressions darkened.
As for the Indian lawyer, Arif, he stood there with his mouth agape, obviously aware of Gu Nianzhi's intentions.
Gu Nianzhi's move seemed to be an understatement, and she was even giving her opponent a free hand. However, if Kevin really took it, he would lose at least half of the lawsuit.
The people in the courtroom began to whisper to each other, discussing why the defendant was unable to fulfill such a simple request from the prosecution.
The people who were watching the live text broadcast outside the court were even more interested.
Countless reliable and unreliable speculations immediately spread on the Internet at lightning speed.
Some said that Kevin's identity was fake, but they were immediately defeated by the DNA paternity certificate.
There was no way to fake the DNA. It could be tested immediately in court. Kevin's legal team was made up of the most famous lawyers in the United States. They would not make such a mistake that could be seen through immediately.
But why didn't Kevin identify his former classmate?
Some people began to defend Kevin on the Internet.
[Everyone, it's easy for you to say that. Who here can remember a fifth grader from elementary school?]
[That's right. Even if they were university classmates, everyone has changed so much after graduating more than ten years ago. Who would remember?]
Of course, this argument was quickly refuted.
[Previous poster, don't use your brain when you speak. Even if you don't remember your elementary school classmates, then how about your high school and university classmates?!]
[Previous poster + 1. Even if their looks have changed, the photos are there, and you are not required to identify their current appearances. What's there to not remember?]
Just as everyone was debating endlessly, someone suddenly posted a comment.
[I suddenly realized Chief Gu's move is too good!]
[Kevin is now in a dilemma. If he identifies his former classmate, it proves that he is mentally normal, thinks clearly, and has normal cognitive abilities. This way, he can no longer use mental illness as an excuse to get away with it!]
[But if he doesn't identify them, Chief Gu can use this as an excuse to suspect Kevin's identity is fake! So whether he admits it or not, he's already in trouble!]
[What about the DNA certificate? I think there's a big loophole in your logic.]
The people inside and outside the courtroom were arguing heatedly.
Gu Nianzhi seemed to want to give an explanation to the debate. She smiled and began to ask the defendant's legal team.
"May I ask the defense lawyers, if Kevin can't identify his former classmate, can I prove that his identity is different from the identity you have proposed?"
Questioning Kevin's identity was proving that he wasn't the appointed diplomat. In other words, he couldn't enjoy diplomatic immunity!
Lu Anpeng's face was livid as he squeezed out the words from between his teeth. "Lawyer Gu, when you questioned my client's identity, did you forget about the DNA certificate?! Isn't that enough?! "
Gu Nianzhi spread her hands and said seriously, "I didn't forget about his DNA certificate. But that DNA certificate can only prove that he is related to John Laris and Kelly Lee. It can't prove that he is the same person as the person on this appointment letter and identity certificate. "
"Lawyer Gu, you're twisting words and forcing logic!"
"I'm being realistic." Gu Nianzhi put Kevin's resume on the big screen again and said, "Please take a look, everyone. A person's attributes include not only biological attributes, but also social attributes."
"Biological attributes are DNA, and social attributes are his sense of social existence since he was young."
"The school he went to, the friends he made, the people he met, and the things he did — all of these things combine to form a complete person. He has both biological and social attributes."
"But now, Mr. Kevin can't confirm his previous social experience. He can't even identify his former classmates. Shouldn't we reasonably suspect that Mr. Kevin's social attributes are different from the person appointed on this appointment letter?"
Lu Anpeng was blinded by Gu Nianzhi's tricks.
She almost messed up the deal that was already set in stone.
Lu Anpeng immediately made a decision. He stood up abruptly and walked in front of Kevin. He knocked on the table of the dock and said in a low voice, "Mr. Kevin, you must identify him."
After a pause, he said, "It's just recognizing a few classmates. It's no big deal. Anyway, the other party can only pester the issue of the diplomat. As long as we can prove that you're the cultural counselor, other problems won't be a problem. "
He said it vaguely, but Kevin could hear between the lines.
In other words, as long as they could prove that he was a diplomat, then the "mental illness" they had prepared would actually be useless.
Kevin's eyes had been blank for a long time, and his face was stiff. He hadn't said a word.
After hearing Lu Anpeng's words, his eyes rolled, and his entire body seemed to come back to life.
Slowly raising his hand and rubbing the back of his neck, Kevin looked at Gu Nianzhi and said, "Give it to me. I'll identify him."
Gu Nianzhi's smile froze. She seemed to be surprised and stammered, "… identify … identify what?"
"Of course it's a classmate photo," Kevin said calmly. "Do you regret it, Lawyer Gu?"
"I … I … Of course I don't regret it!" Gu Nianzhi's face was fierce, but she was also a little panicked.
When she picked up the classmate photo album, her curled little fingers were trembling slightly.
Lu Jin, who was sitting in the corner of the courtroom and watching, sighed with emotion. He said, "My girl is getting better and better. Her acting skills are natural. Not to mention those idiots up there, even I was almost fooled by her!"
The corners of Lu Yuan's mouth twitched, but he didn't comment.
However, even with his professional eyes, Gu Nianzhi's "acting skills" today could be given at least nine points. She had even noticed many details.
This was because Shaoheng had taught her well..
At that moment, Huo Shaoheng, who had been praised by Lu Yuan, was sitting in his office and watching the trial with General Ji.
Seeing Gu Nianzhi's subtle expressions and small movements, a hint of a smile flashed across Huo Shaoheng's eyes.
This time, it wasn't a series of traps, but a trap to invite the enemy into the urn.
