The courtroom was silent for another minute, then it erupted again.
This kind of situation seemed to be the norm in trials with Gu Nianzhi's participation.
It was as if they were riding a roller coaster. Everyone was intoxicated, unable to extricate themselves from it.
Outside the courtroom, the official Weibo of the US Embassy in the Huaxia Empire hinted at the threat of war and demanded that the Huaxia Empire "release" "Cultural Counselor Kevin."
【666！ The President and Secretary of State of the United States appointed a Japanese spy as an American diplomat, and then the Huaxia Empire demanded diplomatic immunity!]
[What a ridiculous move. He's definitely the most ridiculous. He's at the top of the rankings and made his debut!]
[The American lawyers are amazing. They're defending a Japanese spy so enthusiastically and even gave him the position of an American diplomat. Are they stupid?!]
[Previous poster is so naive! Could money be called childish? Anyway, as long as they can earn Japanese money, no matter who it is, even if it's a traitor to the United States, these people will accept the case without hesitation. As long as there's enough money, nothing is a problem!]
[That's right! The American lawyer said: What is the country? Can it be eaten? Can it be paid? If you can't pay, then why are you blindly competing?!]
[I'm just asking, does your face hurt?!]
[Previous poster, there's a serious logical problem with your sentence. The blogger doesn't have a face at all, so how can it hurt?]
[I just want to know, will the blogger still use war to threaten our country to release your 'diplomat'?]
[Your country is done for! Your country is the United States. Dog-head-life-saver.jpg]
…
Gu Nianzhi smiled as she admired Kevin's expression go from calm to uncontrollably contorting.
She raised her hand to look at her watch and said, "It's ten in the morning in the Huaxia Empire. It's eleven at night in the United States. If we wait a little longer, the emergency meeting of the US Congress should have a result. "
Lu Anpeng's forehead was covered in sweat. He took out a tissue to wipe the sweat off his forehead and said forcefully, "It doesn't matter if the Congress is in session or not, my client was a diplomat at the time of the crime! He should enjoy diplomatic immunity! "
Gu Nianzhi stared at him and crossed her arms in front of her chest. She said calmly, "Is the defense lawyer going to argue until the end?"
The Indian lawyer, Arif, hurriedly added, "Even if the Congress revoked my client's diplomatic status, it was only today. As for my client, he was already a legitimate diplomat two months ago! "
"Are you being petty with me?" Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow. "Your appointment letter can be retrodated, so why can't it be retrodated when someone cancels the appointment letter? Mr. Arif, where is your logic? "
She put down her arms and continued to ridicule, "In fact, you might as well have defended yourself according to the 'mental illness' plan that was drafted in the first place. Why did you have to do something superfluous and insist on a diplomatic position?"
Kevin: "…"
Lu Anpeng: "…"
The American lawyers: "…"
They glared at Gu Nianzhi and gritted their teeth.
Now they finally understood why Gu Nianzhi had deliberately taken out a few names and photos of her classmates from the very beginning to point them out to Kevin!
That was killing two birds with one stone, inviting the enemy into the trap!
To them, if they took a step forward, they would die, and if they retreated, they would die as well!
That move alone had completely messed up the possibility of their final bottom line plan of "mental illness."
And Kevin's sluggish state at the beginning could also be attributed to "mental illness." Later on, even a blind person wouldn't be able to tell that he was mentally ill …
Gu Nianzhi smiled as she admired the various poses of these people. She was about to continue speaking when someone suddenly pushed the door open and said to the judge, "Your Honor, the prosecution has received new evidence and hopes to present it immediately."
The person who came was Gu Nianzhi's right-hand woman, Rong Mingxing.
Her eyes lit up and she immediately asked, "Did the US Senate come out with a result?"
Rong Mingxing nodded and said happily, "The US House of Representatives just voted. With 400 votes in favor and 35 abstentions, the President and the Secretary of State passed the resolution to invalidate Kevin's appointment as cultural counselor!"
Gu Nianzhi laughed and said to the Indian lawyer, Arif, "Did you hear that? They didn't revoke your client's diplomatic qualifications. They directly voted to invalidate the appointment letter. "
"Since the appointment letter is invalid, then it would not have taken effect on December 23rd last year, nor could it have taken effect. Defendant Kevin, you'd better tell us the truth. Why did the Japanese Secret Service instruct you to kidnap our high-energy physicist in the Huaxia Empire? "
Kevin's face was pale as he sat in the dock. He looked like a bamboo that was about to be bent by heavy snow, and even his lips had lost color.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the news briefing that Rong Mingxing had sent her and continued, "Kevin's parents have been arrested by the New York CIA. Their home is a stronghold of the Japanese Secret Service in the United States."
Lu Anpeng opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
He was still a little confused.
This was clearly a legal issue, so how did it end up being linked to a political issue?
Kevin's eyes gradually became gloomy, and he stared at Gu Nianzhi like a poisonous snake.
Gu Nianzhi clicked her tongue and said, "Your plan not only included kidnapping our country's high-energy physicist, but also attempted to use a honey trap to infiltrate our country's senior generals. However, we saw through it and beat you at your own game, so we were able to arrest you."
"Defendant Kevin, who are your superiors, and who are your subordinates? Aren't you going to confess? "
Gu Nianzhi's tone was persuasive, and her attitude was gentle and natural, like a little girl next door chatting idly.
She continued, "Our policy is leniency for those who confess, and severity for those who resist. It's better to confess yourself than to be confessed by others."
The Indian-born lawyer, Arif, snorted and said, "I also know that the Huaxia Empire has a saying, 'leniency for those who confess, and severity for those who resist.' Severity for those who resist, and go home for the New Year. "
Gu Nianzhi chuckled and said sarcastically, "Mr. Arif, you know too much! But you can rest assured that we are still very tolerant of our international friends. "
Kevin still had a blank expression and didn't speak.
Gu Nianzhi didn't think she would be able to pry open any secrets in court. She turned to look at the courtroom and concluded, "Your Honor, the defendant Kevin kidnapped and premeditated the murder of our country's high-energy physicist, Song Jinning, on the night of December 24th last year. The evidence is conclusive."
"I hope the court can punish him severely and severely!"
The judge looked at Gu Nianzhi, who had won a big victory, nodded majestically, and said, "We will adjourn for five minutes and wait for the court to deliberate before pronouncing a sentence."
With that, he banged the gavel and stood up to leave the courtroom.
The courtroom instantly became chaotic. Many people walked over to congratulate Gu Nianzhi, but they couldn't get close to her because her team had already surrounded her tightly.
The team she had brought today was actually not from the Senate, but Huo Shaoheng's security team.
Kevin's side was much more chaotic. Many people also squeezed over to watch the commotion, and news organizations extended their microphones in an attempt to interview Kevin's legal team.
His legal team protected him as they hurried out to the small conference room next door to discuss countermeasures and prepare for the appeal.
Suddenly, someone rushed over and pushed through the crowd, shouting, "You heartless bastard! How dare you harm my tutor's life! I'll fight you to the death! "
As he spoke, he raised his arm and slapped Kevin hard on the right side of his face.
The right side of his face burned, but at the same time, Kevin felt the left side of his face being pricked by a needle. Instantly, the left side of his face went numb.
Soon, the numbness spread to his entire body. He couldn't even lift his legs, and it was difficult for him to move. When he moved again, his entire body fell to the ground with a thud.
The people surrounding Kevin immediately retreated in unison. No one dared to touch him for fear of being blackmailed.
The person who had slapped Kevin stood there in a daze. He looked at his hand and said, "… Why did I have so much strength?"
The court bailiff immediately pushed through the crowd and walked over. He called the judge as he called an ambulance.
When Lu Jin saw this, he immediately squeezed over from the corner. He gave Gu Nianzhi a look and mouthed a question to her, asking her if she wanted him to go take a look.
Gu Nianzhi shook her head at him without batting an eyelid.
