"Of course that's not what I meant. Lawyer Gu, don't think too much."
Cai Shengnan glanced at the judge quickly, and saw that the judge still had a calm and expressionless look on his face, and he felt slightly at ease.
Gu Nianzhi smiled, stopped teasing Cai Shengnan, and continued to question Huo Guanchen.
"Mr. Huo Guanchen, you haven't answered me yet, who is your eldest brother?"
Huo Guanchen said in a deep voice: "My elder brother Huo Guanyuan is also a soldier and a martyr. He died in that experimental accident."
Gu Nianzhi glanced at Luo Jialan, "May I ask what your elder brother Huo Guanyuan's relationship is with the defendant?"
"He is Luo Jialan's father."
The judge raised his eyes and glanced at Luo Jialan.
Luo Jialan's heart skipped a beat.
What does Gu Nianzhi mean by dragging her father into this
Gu Nianzhi ignored her and asked Huo Guanchen directly: "Then why is Luo Jialan's surname Luo and not Huo? Isn't she Huo Guanyuan's daughter?"
Luo Jialan gritted her teeth after hearing this.
Isn’t this asking knowingly? !
Pack! I'll let you pretend!
Huo Guanchen replied calmly: "She used to be called Huo Jialan, and she has always been my eldest brother's daughter and my niece. After Bai Jinyi's case last year, we learned that she was not my eldest brother's biological daughter. This year she changed her household registration from ours The Huo family moved out and changed their surname to that of her mother, Luo Xinxue."
Gu Nianzhi nodded, "Do you know why?"
Huo Guanchen stared at Gu Nianzhi and had the same idea as Luo Jialan.
Isn’t this asking knowingly? !
But Gu Nianzhi is the prosecution lawyer and Huo Guanchen is the witness. Even if Gu Nianzhi knows these words, she cannot say them out of her mouth. They must be said out of the witnesses' mouths to have more legal validity.
Huo Guanchen frowned, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know why she changed her surname, or why she moved out of the Huo family's household registration. But she is an adult and has the right to do such a thing."
He could guess why, but Luo Jialan never admitted it, and he couldn't tell his guess as fact.
Gu Nianzhi looked at him deeply and said, "Mr. Huo Guanchen, do you really not know?"
Luo Jialan held a fist in her hand, and her fingernails dug into the palm of her hand.
She looked at Huo Guanchen nervously, fearing that he would tell her that she wanted to have a "fake marriage" with Huo Shaoheng.
Although that matter had nothing to do with this case, it was too embarrassing and she didn't want too many people to know about it...
Huo Guanchen didn't look at her, but he didn't say anything about it either.
Gu Nianzhi saw that Huo Guanchen didn't say anything and didn't care, so he continued to ask.
"Mr. Huo Guanchen, you said that in that experimental accident, everyone else died, and only Ms. Song Jinning survived. I heard that your eldest brother could have escaped, but in order to save Ms. Song and Ms. Song's father, he put The hope of life is given to them, but the consequences of death are left to you, is that right?"
Huo Guanchen's mouth tightened.
Cai Shengnan almost laughed out loud when he heard Gu Nianzhi ask this.
What's the problem with this? !
Even Cai Shengnan, who just came to China not long ago, knew the details of Bai Jinyi's lawsuit, and also knew that Huo Guanyuan had a crush on Song Jinning. This matter was Huo Guanchen's heartache. Gu Nianzhi still asked this in public, tsk tsk, I really don't know her. How were those lawsuits won in the past...
At this moment, Cai Shengnan was even thinking that in all the lawsuits Gu Nianzhi won, He Zhichu should have been helping her with advice behind the scenes, right
This time He Zhichu let it go, and Gu Nianzhi's true colors were revealed.
Cai Shengnan tilted his head and looked at Gu Nianzhi, his eyes like searchlights, wanting to see through Gu Nianzhi's appearance to her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.
Seeing that Huo Guanchen was silent, Gu Nianzhi said softly: "This matter is very important, so important that we seek justice for Ms. Song Jinning."
"She has been severely mentally abused for ten years, and the purpose is to kill her under your eyes. With such blatant provocation and naked malice, don't you want to seek justice for her?"
Huo Guanchen couldn't refuse this request.
So even though that incident was a thorn in his heart, he still spoke.
"When the experimental accident occurred, there was surveillance video proving that my eldest brother pushed Song Jinning and her father Song Haichuan out of the experimental building." Huo Guanchen told the truth, "Then my eldest brother continued to go back to save people, and Academician Song Haichuan returned to the experimental building regardless of the danger. , but was hit by the blast wave and died at the door of the building."
"Song Jinning was pushed further. She fell to the ground and was quickly stunned by the huge explosion that followed. It was later confirmed that the big explosion affected her brain and caused physical damage. After she woke up from the coma, She has memory loss, and every day she forgets what happened the day before, and every day, she only remembers that she was eighteen years old."
"So Martyr Huo Guanyuan died to save Academician Song Jinning and Song Haichuan. You just need to answer, yes or no."
Gu Nianzhi looked very serious.
Huo Guanchen was choked by her and replied angrily: "...Yes."
This is irrefutable.
There were a lot of security measures around the experimental building at that time. There were not only security personnel and armed soldiers on duty, but also cameras everywhere, which captured the scene at that time.
Several cameras located relatively far away "survived" and captured the scene of Huo Guanyuan pushing Song Jinning and Song Haichuan out at the entrance of the experimental building, followed by black smoke, fire and mushroom clouds rising into the sky...
"Excuse me, does anyone know the circumstances of martyr Huo Guanyuan's death?" Gu Nianzhi continued to ask.
"Very few people know."
Gu Nianzhi thought for a while, "Specifically, does anyone know? For example, Bai Jinyi? Or, for example, your father Huo Xuenong?"
Huo Guanchen lowered his eyes: "These two people know it."
Gu Nianzhi looked down at his information and concluded: "In the last case of Bai Jinyi, Luo Jialan also admitted personally that she always knew that her father was not missing at all. You are all lying to her and her mother. Say that she Dad died just to protect the life of that 'bitch'."
Gu Nianzhi bit the word "bitch" hard.
"Judging from Luo Jialan's reaction in the last Bai Jinyi case, she deeply hated Song Jinning and hated her for causing her to lose her father. This was the first clue that laid the foundation for Luo Jialan's intention to kill Song Jinning."
When Cai Shengnan heard this, he couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and said: "Objection. The prosecution lawyer made meaningless accusations. Huo Guanyuan died because he saved Song Jinning, which does not constitute a reason for my client to kill Song Jinning."
Gu Nianzhi laughed and said, "Lawyer Cai, don't object in a hurry. I said this was the first trigger. I didn't say that this was the direct reason for Luo Jialan's murderous intention."
Of course it's not easy to kill someone.
But gathering armpits to form fur, gathering sand to form a tower, many murderous intentions are formed from the accumulation of a little bit of daily dissatisfaction.
The judge was silent for a while and said: "The objection is invalid. The prosecution lawyer continues. But the prosecution lawyer, please pay attention to your rhythm and don't talk too much about irrelevant things."
Gu Nianzhi smiled and said, "Thank you, your honor. I will quickly prove that this matter is related to murder."
The judge raised his hand to signal her.
Gu Nianzhi retrieved the information from his laptop and connected it to the court's audio-visual equipment.
The large projection screen on the wall on one side of the courtroom slowly lowered.
Gu Nianzhi put up the PPT he made.
This is what she summarized about the last case of Bai Jinyi.
"Everyone, please take a look. This is the record and result of the trial last year when the Imperial City Procuratorate charged Bai Jinyi with intentional homicide."
"In that lawsuit, there was evidence that Luo Jialan was not Huo Guanyuan's biological daughter, and that she ignored her dying mother without any help."
Gu Nianzhi paused and stared at Luo Jialan, "Luo Jialan, who claims to love his mother very much and would not hesitate to torture another innocent person in order to avenge her mother, why would he not save his dying mother?"
"In other words, what happened at that time that made Luo Jialan not even save her mother who was in danger?"
Gu Nianzhi slowly looked at Luo Jialan, with a faint smile on his lips, which could be said to be very irritating.
Luo Jialan was shaking so hard that her teeth were sore and she could hardly restrain herself.
If she hadn't been in the dock, with the bailiff staring at her eagerly, she would have pounced on Gu Nianzhi and beat him up!
The smile on her face really deserves a beating!
