In other words, Li Haiqing had been beaten to death.
The courtroom was silent, and even Seth had regained his composure with a blank expression.
Gu Nianzhi looked at everyone in the courtroom and turned to the defense lawyer. "I'll play another surveillance video."
This time, the time of the video was early in the morning on May 15th. A pickup stopped in front of Seth's apartment, and a man and a woman got out of the car. It was Seth's mother, Ramona, and stepfather, York.
They entered the apartment building that had already been designated as a "key investigation area" by the police.
Then Gu Nianzhi fast-forwarded the surveillance video, and when it started playing normally, it showed that it was already evening.
After spending almost the entire day in Seth's apartment, York and Ramona finally came out.
The two of them carried a lot of black garbage bags out of the apartment building one by one and threw them into the trunk of the pickup. Finally, the pickup disappeared into the night.
Gu Nianzhi stopped the surveillance video and looked at the ashen-faced York and Ramona. She asked again, "Didn't you say that you never went to Seth's apartment again after the case was filed? Then what about the 15th of May? The case was filed on May 13th, and Seth's apartment building was designated as a key investigation area. Nothing was allowed to be moved, but you stayed in Seth's apartment for an entire day on May 15th, from morning to night. "
Gu Nianzhi looked at Seth and asked, "Seth, how dirty is your apartment that your high-ranking police parents had to personally clean it for an entire day?"
Large beads of sweat formed on Seth's forehead as he stared at the big screen in shock. He was furious.
What the f * ck!
How could something like this exist?!
He looked at his mother and stepfather for help.
His mother, Ramona, looked at him with tears in her eyes, but his stepfather's face was livid and he didn't say a word.
Gu Nianzhi also didn't say anything and quietly watched the family's performance.
Since the trial was being broadcasted, Gu Nianzhi was certain that all of Germany was probably watching it.
She was just a bit confused as to why the court hadn't realized that the trial was being broadcasted.
Because she was worried that they would delete it quickly, Gu Nianzhi had specially changed the password when she hacked into their official account. That way, even if they wanted to delete it, they would have to spend some effort to crack the password and log in.
As expected, more and more people were watching the video on German social media.
It was the first time that the Germans had found their country's judicial system so twisted.
Wasn't the democratic election supposed to be able to elect scum?
How did York, who was like a gang leader, get elected as a councilman again and again? How did he become the leader of the Democratic Party?
Everyone in the courtroom was shocked by the surveillance footage that had just been played. Countless gazes moved between York and Ramona.
Gu Nianzhi gave them enough time before asking, "Mr. York, Ms. Ramona, may I ask where you threw the bags of things you took from Seth's apartment?"
Of course, York and Ramona shut their mouths like clamshells and didn't say a word to Gu Nianzhi.
They weren't defendants or witnesses, so they could choose not to answer Gu Nianzhi's questions.
However, when Gu Nianzhi asked them a question, she had no intention of letting them answer.
What she needed to do was to expose this couple, who were full of lies, in front of the public, so that they would not be able to trample on judicial justice any further.
Therefore, their silence was exactly what Gu Nianzhi wanted.
In the eyes of the people who were following the live broadcast of the trial, the couple was feeling guilty and didn't dare to say a word.
"Your Honor, the direct evidence we have now shows that Seth and Nina were the last two people the victim, Li Haiqing, saw before she died. Also, Nina's testimony matches the autopsy results, so there is reason to believe that she is telling the truth. It proves that Seth is guilty of torture, rape, first-degree murder, and second-degree murder. Nina is guilty of second-degree murder and assisting in rape. Furthermore, Roslau Regional Police Chief York and Senior Superintendent Ramona obstructed justice and deliberately destroyed important evidence related to this case. Your Honor, please sentence them severely and punish the culprits." Gu Nianzhi began to conclude her statement.
At that moment, the defendant's lawyer, who had been badly battered by Gu Nianzhi's rebuttal, suddenly discovered a law that could completely defend against the direct evidence Gu Nianzhi had found.
"Objection!" The defendant's lawyer immediately stood up. "The surveillance footage of the antique store obtained by the plaintiff's lawyer included the area across from the store. This is an illegal act that violates the personal rights of passersby, so it cannot be used as evidence against my client."
As soon as he said that, York, Ramona, and the judge all sighed in relief.
The judge was all smiles and was about to accept the defendant's lawyer's opinion and announce that the direct evidence was not accepted when Gu Nianzhi immediately thought of a counterattack.
She clearly said, "According to German criminal law, surveillance footage has priority over the personal rights of passersby in a criminal case."
In other words, for a criminal case, even if the surveillance footage exceeded its legal surveillance range, because it recorded direct evidence of a vicious criminal case, it was no longer illegal evidence but legal direct evidence.
York's face darkened again. At that moment, he finally felt that he couldn't let Gu Nianzhi speak anymore. This female lawyer was truly too strong …
He secretly gestured to the judge that they had agreed on.
The judge understood and planned to sentence her according to their agreement. At that moment, the people from the Munich District Court finally discovered that their official social media account was broadcasting the trial live!
In the courtroom, the judge raised his gavel and looked at the trial statement in front of him. It clearly said, "… Due to lack of evidence, the defendant is acquitted."
But before he could say anything, the courtroom door was pushed open with a bang. A person who looked like a clerk rushed into the courtroom and came to the judge's side to whisper a few words into his ear.
The judge's face immediately darkened, and his hand holding the trial statement trembled slightly. His mouth opened and closed, but in the end, he didn't dare to say the blatant favoritism of the trial statement.
He lowered his voice and said to the clerk, "… What's the use of telling me? Hurry up and delete the trial live broadcast! "
The person was about to cry and had a bitter expression. "The account password was changed, so we can't log in for the time being. We're currently contacting the company that runs the social media app and asking them to close our accounts, but they haven't replied yet …"
Of course, they wouldn't reply.
The court trial live broadcast was the most popular video on all German social media and attracted countless new users and traffic.
It was such a great opportunity. Even if they could interfere, they had to pretend they didn't know and let the video fly for a while longer.
