Everything had happened so suddenly that Wu Yuanji had not expected the prosecution to find a new witness. Under Fu Fusheng's equally surprised gaze, Wu Yuanji decisively protested, "Chief Judge! The plaintiff did not submit the information according to the rules before submitting the new witness. I apply for a temporary adjournment! "
It was not surprising that Wu Yuanji could make this request. It was in accordance with the rules and regulations to apply for evidence in advance. However, if the court adjourned now, the next court session would have to wait until tomorrow. This was because the examination of the witness still needed to be decided by the jury. Only those who met the rules and regulations could appear in court as a witness.
Liang Xin carefully weighed the pros and cons. He could roughly guess that Wu Yuanji was probably thinking of some conspiracy again. But it was precisely because this person was cunning that Liang Xin, as the presiding judge, knew that she had to follow the existing rules and regulations and adjudicate the case according to the existing laws. Otherwise, as long as Wu Yuanji got hold of the slightest flaw, he might apply to Huaxiu Alliance to replace the presiding judge.
In Wu Yuanji's previous cases, it was not as if there were no precedents where the presiding judge was asked to be replaced after being caught red-handed in the middle of the case.
"The defense lawyer's request is granted. The public prosecution is requested to submit the witness information today for review in accordance with the rules and regulations."
Therefore, after some consideration, Chief Judge Liang Xin finally agreed to Wu Yuanji's request. He slammed the gavel down, making a crisp sound. "Court adjourned!"
To everyone's surprise, the court session lasted less than ten minutes, but it was adjourned because of such an unexpected event. Now the whole Internet was waiting to see the melon. No one had expected such a thing to happen.
Netizens had different opinions about Liang Xin's decision. Some thought that Liang Xin was on Wu Yuanji's side, while others held the opposite opinion. They thought that Liang Xin, the presiding judge, was just following the rules and regulations.
At the same time, Wang Ling was also watching the live online broadcast of the public trial. There were so many bullet messages on the screen that he was dazzled by them. In today's online environment, people didn't know who the other party was. The phenomenon of people attacking each other at the slightest disagreement had turned the bullet screens of major platforms into "battlefields."
Loopy Toad lay on Wang Ling's knee and watched the live stream with him. It was super envious of Little Silver, who could actually appear in court with Gao Tian as a member of the public prosecution. Loopy Toad had originally wanted to go today, but considering that some of the news reporters might be allergic to dog fur, it could only watch the live stream with Little Master Ling at home …
It was all because he hadn't cultivated into a human form! How great would it be if it could also transform into a human!
Loopy Toad realized that after becoming a dog, it suddenly had a new goal! It decided that before Wang Ling graduated from high school, it would be able to cultivate a human form!
Logically speaking, it wasn't difficult to cultivate a human form, but Loopy Toad's situation was a little special. It used to be a demon king of the demon race, and had later become a spirit beast thanks to Wang Ling's cultivation technique. Compared to other spirit beasts, Loopy Toad had more twists and turns on its path of cultivating a human form, as well as its gender and appearance.
"You'll be able to cultivate a human form." Wang Ling rubbed Loopy Toad's head, which numbed Dog Two all over. For some reason, dogs and cats especially liked to be touched by humans. Their chins or the part above their heads near their ears would often give them a comfortable feeling and make them tremble all over.
Loopy Toad didn't feel much at first, but it gradually realized … it seemed to have been assimilated!
And the longer time passed, the more serious the assimilation seemed to be. For example, recently, it had lost interest in fly-flavored dog food.
It … had actually fallen!
Suddenly, Loopy Toad felt a pang in its heart. Ai … it was all Wang Ling's fault for spoiling it so much that he could let it lie on his knees. What normal person could receive this kind of treatment?
While the online bullet messages were discussing the adjournment, Wang Ling received a message from Odd Zhuo. "Shifu, as expected, the court has been adjourned! Everything is going according to plan! "
Loopy Toad looked at Odd Zhuo's message and was blank.
Everything was going according to plan?
Of course it was.
Because long before the court session, Wang Ling had already predicted that the lawyer who would be representing Fu Fusheng this time would be Wu Yuanji, who was known as the devil's lawyer. Wang Ling had also discussed countermeasures in private with Odd Zhuo early on.
It could be said that Wu Yuanji had already fallen into their trap, and the adjournment this time was within their expectations.
"Director Zhuo, what should we do next?" Gao Tian was also actively communicating with Odd Zhuo after the first round of the court hearing.
Putting down his phone, Odd Zhuo said to Gao Tian, "Let's stick to the original plan. Try to act as natural as possible and don't alert the enemy. Wu Yuanji is very cunning. "
As Odd Zhuo and everyone else who knew Wu Yuanji thought, this devil's lawyer's greatest skill was to destroy and create evidence. What Odd Zhuo and the others were going to do next was very simple: they were going to grab hold of Wu Yuanji's weakness, and then make him disappear from the legal circle forever to avoid any future troubles.
…
Elsewhere, Wu Yuanji felt a headache coming on when he heard that the prosecutors had found a new witness. In the detention center, Wu Yuanji met with Fu Fusheng as his defense lawyer.
Fu Fusheng was agitated as he gnashed his teeth. "What's going on … Isn't Liu Yi already …"
"Keep your voice down."
Wu Yuanji rolled his eyes at Fu Fusheng. "Liu Yi is indeed dead. I didn't expect them to find another witness. But it's fine. In any case, I can win the case; it's just a little more trouble for me. "
"You have a solution?" Fu Fusheng's eyes lit up, then darkened as he looked at Wu Yuanji. "You should be well aware of my request. My request is to prove my innocence. Not only do I have to prove my innocence, I also have to protect my reputation. "
"Reputation?"
Wu Yuanji laughed. He moved his face very close and stared into Fu Fusheng's angry eyes through the glass. "From the moment you asked me to be your defense lawyer, what reputation do you have left? I want you to pay me double the original legal fees, which is 100 million yuan. Otherwise, I'll have to ask you to find someone better. "
"You …" Fu Fusheng was speechless.
"I advise you to think clearly. Is your life and freedom more important, or money and reputation more important? You can weigh the pros and cons before telling me. "
"You devil …"
"I hope you understand that up until now, only I, the devil, can help you win this case." Speaking up to this point, Wu Yuanji curled his lips and smiled wickedly. "As long as you understand, I will take action tonight."
With that, Wu Yuanji slit his throat.
"Can you ensure that it's done cleanly?"
"Of course it's clean. I'm already very familiar with these methods. "
"Okay, I promise you."
In the end, Fu Fusheng replied.
…
But they didn't know that their entire meeting this time was under Gao Tian's surveillance.
They actually wanted to murder a witness?
Gao Tian could only use a popular phrase to describe the despicable behavior of these two people: making people spit out rice!
