Gu Yan paused for a while, then raised his head and added: "Or, which side do you want to believe?"
These words were very familiar, and Yan Suizhi suddenly felt a little emotional.
It was a lecture many years ago, not at the University of Metz, but at another old university in the Lyra system, a two-day shuttle from Decama. Yan Suizhi brought several professors from the Law School as keynote speakers.
As for the participation of law school students, it is entirely voluntary. Those who want to go can register at the college, and then the college will form a team to go there together.
The lecture was open-ended, with no restrictions on the audience. People from different galaxies and planets were mixed, men, women and children. The huge auditorium was full.
Almost all of the professors I brought in the past spoke well, with a little bit of popular science, and they were all quite humorous. Only an old professor fell ill due to acclimatization, and seemed to have no energy and spoke slowly.
It happened to be a spring afternoon, and there were so many people in the auditorium that it was easy to get lazy and sleepy. So when the old gentleman finished speaking, all the people in the auditorium fell asleep, and only the people in the first two rows were still struggling with their eyelids.
And Yan Suizhi was the last one to give a speech, and he was lucky, just behind the old gentleman.
He held the podium with both hands, glanced at the audience and laughed. The heart said that it is a prosperous country.
However, he didn't have the habit of forcing others to listen to his long speeches, and he didn't care about the situation of falling asleep, and even made a joke to a nearby student who was half asleep and said, "I haven't said a word yet. , you just nodded twelve times at me."
So the students in that group laughed, and immediately woke up laughing.
In the audience, there was a young student who did not laugh, but raised his eyelids and glanced at those who had fallen asleep. Half of his body was sitting in the spring sun, but he still looked cold, like mint in a glass.
This makes him stand out from the crowd.
After he retracted his gaze, he looked at the stage without any movement, just in line with Yan Suizhi's gaze.
Of course, Professor Yan Da's attention was not on a certain audience at that time, so he just rolled his eyes and smiled, and then officially began to talk about the following content.
By the time he talked about the first case, the people in the auditorium were almost awake. But by coincidence, the first student who raised his hand to ask a question happened to be sitting next to the mint.
"Professor, in a case like this, what the parties said goes against the evidence given by the prosecution. Who should you believe?"
With a smile on her lips, Yan Suizhi asked her, "Which side do you want to believe?"
The girl opened her mouth and seemed to think it was a good question at first, but after hesitating for a while, she began to struggle, and finally shook her head and said, "I don't know..."
When those students first choose law school, they always have the original intention of upholding justice.
If you want to believe your client, that means questioning the justice of the prosecution. If even the police and procuratorate, which can best reflect justice, begin to distort and create lies, it will undoubtedly make many people feel discouraged and shaken.
If you want to believe the prosecution, it means that your client is indeed guilty, and you have to stand on the side of the guilty person and advise him.
Of course Yan Suizhi knew what the girl was hesitating about, "In fact, this kind of question doesn't really make sense to some lawyers. It's too simple for them to believe or not to believe, because they are talking to various lawyers every day. Dealing with lies."
Some clients will weave all kinds of reasons to deny their guilt, and even if they admit guilt, they will try their best to make themselves look less bad in order to gain some understanding.
Some prosecutions use illegal means to create evidence to make sure that the other person gets what they deserve in order to send someone they think is a criminal to prison.
"Of course, some lawyers often lie themselves. Many people know that their clients are guilty, but at the end of their defense, they often forget this." Yan Suizhi said to the girl, "Over time, they will not Don't think about those kinds of things you're talking about, because it makes it hard for them to enjoy winning and the community always believes that winners are kings."
Yan Sui couldn't remember what that girl looked like for a long time, but he remembered that her face was a little depressed and confused at that time.
So he smiled and said the last sentence: "But I'm glad you asked this question, and I hope you can remember this question and think about it occasionally, you may not have an answer, and the process of thinking is not pleasant, but This represents the pure original intention of your student days, and I hope you can keep it longer."
Such a scene was Yan Suizhi's only memory of that lecture, and he had already forgotten all other details.
Not long after that, when the first-year students at the University of Metz chose the professor of the straight department, the mint in the lecture became his student.
It was Gu Yan.
Later, Gu Yan asked the same question again, only one step deeper than the girl.
It should have been a small reception between Yan Suizhi and the students. He couldn't remember whether it was his birthday or Christmas. He only remembered that it was winter and it was snowing outside. He let the students let go to play, and he went to the balcony with a glass of wine.
He originally went to enjoy the black street view outside the balcony, but he didn't expect that there were already people there.
The student who occupied that treasured feng shui land was Gu Yan.
He didn't remember what the topic was that led to the sentence. He only remembered that the usually taciturn and indifferent student asked him: "You also often think about who is worth believing in such questions?"
Yan Suizhi was a little bit drunk at the time. He talked less than usual, and his tone was lazier than usual. He turned the glass in his hand and said, "No."
Gu Yan: "..."
"Why? Didn't you say that you want students to think about it from time to time and keep their original intentions?" Gu Yan frowned when he asked this.
Yan Suizhi remembered that at that time Gu Yan was not as angry as he was later, and he could still say a few words. That was probably the first time he frowned in front of his teacher.
"That's advice to good people." Yan Suizhi was lazy and a little careless. He turned his head and smiled at Gu Yan, saying, "I'm not."
In fact, Yan Suizhi hadn't remembered these clips for many years, and thought he had forgotten them long ago.
It was not until today that Gu Yan suddenly mentioned this, that he realized that he still remembered it.
Which side do you want to believe
This time, Yan Suizhi played up the spirit of twelve points, and did not blurt out "I generally don't want this kind of problem". He tried to simulate the thinking of those students, pondered a few answers, prepared to play well, and acted like it.
Who knew that Gu Yan didn't wait for him to answer at all, so he packed up the evidence and said, "Think about it for yourself, I'll go out."
Yan Suizhi was very angry: "..." I finally got the patience to play it again and you didn't watch it
Attorney Gu always speaks and does things neatly, and leaves as soon as he says it. After a while, only Yan Sui is left in the room.
In fact, his legs didn't hurt much, but he still couldn't walk so freely, so Gu Yan didn't plan to take him when he went out.
When an intern has no work to do, it really becomes a mushroom.
If he was at the Southern Cross Law Firm, he would still be able to uncover the bombings to see the whole story. Here, he had nowhere to pick it up if he wanted to.
But this feeling of doing nothing was actually very rare for him, so after a while, he supported his head and read a book with peace of mind.
It's just that in the process of reading the book, his attention is not focused, and the few pages of evidence still flicker in his mind from time to time, which is already an occupational disease.
The case wasn't really that difficult, at least not as troublesome as he did with Joshua Dale. If the evidence is really falsified, then a careful sorting will surely find many loopholes that can be broken through.
It's hard to tell Joshua Daller just because if the lawyer is too lighthearted, the client will think "he can handle it even if I say less details and the truth."
And he wanted to hear the truth, as much truth as possible.
He was a little lost thinking about it, his eyes passed through the window glass, and fell on the large low-rise house outside...
Um
After watching for a while, he suddenly had an idea.
…
Joshua Daller is sitting on the carpet in the hotel room with her hair hanging down, her sister Rosie Daller has recovered most of her anger, and is sitting cross-legged directly opposite him, her dark eyes staring. he.
After a while, she patted Joshua's leg and whispered, "Brother, I'm hungry."
As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach groaned in unison.
Joshua raised his head from his depression and forced a smile at her, "Hungry? Okay, wait, I'll go down and buy something to eat."
"Can I ask for an extra candy in addition to the bread today?" Rosie asked.
Joshua agreed without thinking: "Okay, sugar. There is bread, and there is sugar, don't worry."
He said, stood up a little tired, and rubbed his sister's head.
Rosie took out a smoothed wrapping paper from his pocket, "Can I have this kind of candy?"
Joshua held the candy wrapper and looked at the words on it: "Chocolate? I've never heard of this brand, where did you get it?"
Just as they were talking, there was a knock on the door of their room.
Joshua awkwardly opened the door with the remote control, and saw Yan Suizhi leaning against the door and smiling at the siblings: "Luoxi? Pretty little girl, tell me are you hungry?"
Rosie Dale immediately pointed at him and said to Joshua, "Sugar, this brother gave it."
Joshua: "..." Brother ass!
Rosie Dale turned to Yan Suizhi again: "I'm hungry!"
Yan Suizhi raised his chin, "Put on your coat and take you to eat lamb chops."
Rosie Dale stood up and licked his lips, "Is it delicious?"
Joshua: "… "
He touched the remote control, especially wanting to close the door. He was very puzzled, did the trainee lawyer take the wrong medicine and suddenly want to take them out to eat lamb chops
And it's only three o'clock in the afternoon, what kind of lamb chops are you eating
