Shan Bohan spoke eloquently in court, and his words were reasonable and well-founded.
"...Song Jinning's situation, although it is a mental illness caused by organic disease, is also a real mental illness. It requires the nursing staff to be very patient and the nursing environment must be comfortable and smooth. And Song Jinning has lived in the Huo family for more than ten years. The attic is low and depressing, and there are more and more things in the house. These changes in the external environment will cause psychological discomfort to normal people, let alone people with serious mental illnesses."
"So Song Jinning's illness became more and more serious, and in the later stages she had developed depression. If Dr. Chen hadn't made a prompt decision and discovered the location of her disease, Song Jinning would have been tortured to death and would not have survived next year."
Huo Shaoheng had been sitting calmly in the audience, until then a hint of gloom flashed between his brows.
It's really dangerous...
As his mind wandered, his eyes fell on the face of Gu Nianzhi, who was standing straight in front of the court.
To be honest, Gu Nianzhi's face was too familiar to him from the age of twelve to eighteen. From the fat and unattractive little girl when he first came here, to the beautiful cartoon girl after growing up, he has become accustomed to it. There is no sense of surprise that outsiders often have.
Huo Shaoheng never really cared whether she looked beautiful or ugly.
Because she seemed to have become a part of him, a part of his life.
Huo Shaoheng folded his arms on his chest and listened to the verbal battle in the court. Although it was fierce, he could already tell that the other party had been completely defeated.
Gu Nianzhi still has one last piece of evidence in his hand, which is enough to send Bai Jinyi to hell.
Jin Dazhuang said to the judge very excitedly: "Your Honor, although the other party has these evidences and witnesses, I want to remind the judge that the other party's evidence is all indirect evidence. The other party's witnesses are also indirect witnesses. They do not have any direct evidence. Prove that my client is related to Luo Xinxue’s murder case.”
"Yes, my client took the husband's cell phone, but there is no law that stipulates that taking a cell phone is considered a murder!"
Gu Nianzhi listened quietly to Jin Dazhuang finishing his concluding remarks, then stood up and first retorted: "I want to remind the judge that only circumstantial evidence and witnesses can be used to convict. There is precedent for this. Secondly, I want to remind the judge that only circumstantial evidence and witnesses can be used to convict. , this case is not without direct evidence.”
"What direct evidence?! Don't spread rumors and slander!" Jin Dazhuang was angry. In his litigation career, the worst case was a settlement between the two parties, and he had never lost a lawsuit!
If he loses to Gu Nianzhi, a newbie, he really won't be able to survive in the future.
Gu Nianzhi waved his right hand lightly, glanced at the people in the court, and said to the judge: "It's the autopsy report from forensic doctor Zhu. From the cracks of Luo Xinxue's fingernails, Bai Jinyi's DNA was found. This shows that the two had an affair. Fight. Why fight? Think about the sleeping pills that were forced into the throat, I think everyone understands, right? "
"Objection! The plaintiff's lawyer once again used imagination to replace the facts of the case!" Jin Da became anxious and desperately opposed anything Gu Nianzhi said.
Gu Nianzhi sighed and spread his hands: "Jin Dazhuang, I remember when I was in the first class of the law department, a professor said this, saying that if there is a bird, it walks like a duck and quacks Like a duck, looks like a duck, and eats like a duck, then it must be a duck.”
Jin Dazhuang was stunned.
"... Just like your client Bai Jinyi, she and the victim Luo Xinxue were together a few hours before her death. They robbed her of her things and forced her to take sleeping pills. After she left, Luo Xinxue died. We call people murderers. This kind of inference logic is not groundless conjecture, but common sense that normal people have." Gu Nianzhi began to summarize his speech.
"What is direct evidence? Does it have to be a video showing Bai Jinyi's murder process for it to be called direct evidence?" Gu Nianzhi raised an eyebrow and looked at Bai Jinyi, "Bai Jinyi personally admitted that she killed people for a greater purpose. Doesn't it count as direct evidence?" ?”
Jin Dazhuang was speechless when he was asked, and he couldn't say anything for a while.
When Bai Jinyi reached this point, she simply stopped saying anything, sneered and closed her eyes tightly, refusing to talk to Gu Nianzhi anymore.
Gu Nianzhi walked up to her, bent down and looked at her carefully, and suddenly asked: "Bai Jinyi, why do you attach so much importance to the text message data received on Huo Guanyuan's personal mobile phone? I will give you another chance, if you tell the truth , maybe your lawyer will still have a chance to intercede for you."
Bai Jinyi didn't open her eyes and sneered: "You have already convicted me, what else can I say?"
"Okay, I will give this phone to Song Jinning. She has recovered, and the Institute of High Energy Physics should be led by real scientists. It is a great blessing for our country's science and technology community that a person like you who is seeking fame and reputation leaves the Institute of High Energy Physics!" Gu Nianzhi knew that only Song Jinning could stimulate Bai Jinyi.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, Bai Jinyi opened her eyes suddenly, gritted her teeth and asked, "What did you say? Who do you want to give it to?!"
"You don't care who I give it to, it's not your phone." Gu Nianzhi threw the phone away in his hand, "You have been studying for ten years, but you haven't come up with any results. Give it to Ms. Song, maybe within a year The results are coming soon. I hope you can see Ms. Song’s results before the execution."
"Don't even think about it! It's impossible! I haven't been able to figure it out after ten years of thinking, and it's impossible for her to figure it out!" Bai Jinyi almost went crazy. She jumped up from the dock and was about to pinch Gu Nianzhi's slender neck with both hands. .
Gu Nianzhi was agile and quickly stepped back. Holding the phone in one hand, he pushed forward with the other hand and pushed Bai Jinyi down on the dock.
Several bailiffs rushed over immediately and handcuffed Bai Jinyi.
The judge also warned her: "Defendant, please control your emotions. Attacking the plaintiff's lawyer will be punished with an additional penalty."
Gu Nianzhi walked back to the witness stand and handed Huo Guanyuan's mobile phone to Song Jinning: "Ms. Song, we believe that the content on this mobile phone is related to your experiment. When the case is over, the military department will follow up with you on the experiment."
Song Jinning subconsciously held the phone and nodded heavily: "I have been resting for sixteen years, and it is time to work."
…
Bai Jinyi's case was officially pronounced by the Imperial Court Intermediate Court three days later.
Bai Jinyi was found guilty of murdering Luo Xinxue, delaying Song Jinning's illness and causing heavy losses to the country. He was found guilty of murdering Luo Xinxue and was sentenced to death with a two-year suspended sentence.
Huo Jialan had no criminal responsibility in the Luo Xinxue murder case and was not sentenced, but she did not save her mother in time, which everyone can see clearly.
After the trial was over, she returned to Huo's house alone, packed her things and was about to leave Huo's house. Both Mr. Huo and Huo Guanchen stopped her, not allowing her to leave, and kept her behind.
When the court announced the verdict, Gu Nianzhi stood beside Huo Shaoheng, feeling extremely excited and excited.
This is the first lawsuit in her career!
Facing the fifteen elite lawyers from the largest law firm in the country, he did not flinch and struck hard, almost becoming famous in one fell swoop!
She looked up at Huo Shaoheng and whispered: "Master Huo, you finally seek justice for your mother and Ms. Luo."
Huo Shaoheng leaned over and suddenly hugged her.
Gu Nianzhi was so excited that he wanted to hug Huo Shaoheng back, secretly hoping that Huo Shaoheng would acknowledge her status in public...
But Yin Shixiong also turned around at this time, bent down and hugged her.
Next came Zhao Liangze, who hugged her, touched her head, and praised: "Well done! Nianzhi, congratulations!"
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and wanted to give these two mallets a kick!
She thought Huo Shaoheng was going to take the opportunity to announce his relationship with her to everyone, but it was ruined by these two!
Sure enough, when everyone saw Huo Shaoheng hugging Gu Nianzhi, they were all stunned for a moment. Then Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze hugged Gu Nianzhi, making everyone understand instantly and couldn't help laughing.
This is a hug of victory, a hug of congratulations, a hug of friendship.
No one thought of going anywhere else.
Gu Nianzhi was discouraged for a moment, and the joy he had felt suddenly disappeared. He pouted involuntarily, and his joy disappeared.
She kept staring at Huo Shaoheng quietly.
At this time, many people crowded over, not to congratulate Gu Nianzhi, but to congratulate Huo Shaoheng.
This is a secret trial and only the outcome can be made public.
Those who can come to hear the results are already insiders.
They all knew that the person behind Gu Nianzhi was Huo Shaoheng, and this victory was actually Huo Shaoheng's victory.
So after simply nodding to Gu Nianzhi, these people all went to shake hands with Huo Shaoheng.
Watching him calmly interact with everyone, greetings, and maintaining neither humility nor arrogance when dealing with people who are higher or lower than him, his eyes are calm, his behavior is steady, he is not particularly happy, but he is not unhappy either.
All his emotions were not expressed so clearly and fully in the gentle hug he gave her just now.
That hug, for someone like Huo Shaoheng, was the ultimate he could achieve, right
Gu Nianzhi was thinking wildly and couldn't calm down.
His eyes were involuntarily glued to Huo Shaoheng, watching his every move, word and deed, paying attention to the size of every smile and the arc of every tilt of his head.
She lowered her head and hid her almost greedy gaze in a corner where no one was paying attention. She couldn't let anyone see her thoughts. She didn't want to cause trouble for Huo Shaoheng.
If he was unwilling to disclose their relationship, Gu Nianzhi would not take the initiative to reveal the mystery.
Seeing Huo Shaoheng's ease in front of everyone, she knew clearly that between the two of them, she was the one who was more involved, and even the one who took the initiative.
So she put the initiative in the relationship into Huo Shaoheng's hands. It was good if he was willing to make it public. If he was not willing, she would not ask for it because she believed in him.
When I walked out of the court, the sun outside was bright.
Gu Nianzhi looked at the white clouds floating in the blue sky in front of him, as well as the white pigeons that occasionally streaked across the sky, and the pigeon whistles that sounded leisurely, and then looked at the tall figure in front of him, surrounded by people, so close to him. , and so far away.
She forgot to hide her gaze for a moment, and her eyes grew longer as she looked at his back.
Huo Shaoheng suddenly felt something in his heart and subconsciously turned around, meeting Gu Nianzhi's undisguised gaze of nostalgia.
He smiled at her and stretched out a hand: "Nianzhi, come here."
Gu Nianzhi's face suddenly lit up, and the spring sunshine was not as moving as her smile.
She separated from everyone and walked over, placing her hand in Huo Shaoheng's warm and dry palm.
"Thanks to Nianzhi for this lawsuit. Without her, our military department would not have won such a smooth victory." Huo Shaoheng praised Gu Nianzhi without hesitation in front of everyone. Gu Nianzhi was so moved that he almost cried.
She hurriedly lowered her head, seemingly embarrassed, but actually to hide the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes.
After he swallowed his tears, he looked up at Huo Shaoheng, as if looking up to his own gods.
Admiral Ji was sitting in a car on the roadside in front of the court, silently watching this scene. His eyes ranged from Huo Shaoheng, who was smiling calmly, to Gu Nianzhi, who was holding his hand, and he couldn't help but frown.
Originally, he wanted to go out to meet Huo Shaoheng, but after thinking about it, Admiral Ji ordered his orderly: "Go back."
The orderly who was driving quickly started the car and returned to the Supreme Council of the Military Ministry.
As soon as Huo Shaoheng took Gu Nianzhi into the car, he heard his cell phone ringing.
Only a few people know the number of this mobile phone, and they can be called directly without going through the operator of the Special Operations Division.
Huo Shaoheng took out his mobile phone and found that it was Admiral Ji's number. He hurriedly opened the phone and asked seriously: "Admiral Ji?"
"Well, it's me." Admiral Ji was also sitting in the car, smiling and congratulating him: "The lawsuit was well fought this time, and it gave the military face. Widows of martyrs, you can't die in such an unknown way. This matter , you have merit, the military department will take credit for you after a while."
Huo Shaoheng smiled and said, "It's what I should do. Luo Xinxue is also my eldest aunt. Because of this kind of kinship, the military even gave me credit. I have no face to accept it, so let's forget it."
When General Ji saw Huo Shaoheng's refusal, he did not insist on it. He just said: "Okay, since what you said makes sense, let's make a note in your file first. Shao Heng, you are a general trained by our military department. Don't make any mistakes in your journey."
Huo Shaoheng sounded strange. He asked himself that his work fully complied with the rules and regulations of the Special Operations Department, and he was also very clean in his private life. He had never smeared the military department, so he immediately replied: "Don't worry, Admiral Ji, I have always obeyed orders." command."
"That's good, that's good." Admiral Ji felt relieved and laughed. His tone was much more relaxed, "I just passed by the entrance of the court and saw you. There were so many people at that time, so I didn't get out of the car and go in person. congratulations."
"Admiral Ji came out of the incognito service, right?" Huo Shaoheng thought about it carefully and immediately understood.
If he hadn't come out incognito, the entire street would have been blocked off just by the grandeur of the trip. How could he not know
"Yeah, I'm just worried about you. Come and have a look." Admiral Ji was very kind. "I feel relieved knowing that you won. Now I'm almost at the military headquarters. Call me when you have time."
"Yes, chief." Huo Shaoheng replied. He put away his phone after hearing the call hung up.
Gu Nianzhi sat quietly next to him, very well-behaved.
Huo Shaoheng shook her hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Go back and have a good rest. The New Year is almost here."
Gu Nianzhi looked at the bright sky outside the car window and smiled: "Will the Spring Festival this year be very warm?"
"How is that possible?" Zhao Liangze chatted from the front seat, "The weather is going to change in a few days. I checked the weather forecast. There is strong cold air passing through around New Year's Eve. It is colder than ever."
After the Spring Festival, she will go to school.
Gu Nianzhi couldn't help but think of He Zhichu again, thinking of the conflict between the two in his study, and pursed his lips uncomfortably.
Just as he thought of He Zhichu, Gu Nianzhi's cell phone rang.
She took out her cell phone and saw that it was He Zhichu's number.
I didn't want to answer it at first, but Huo Shaoheng also saw it and said calmly: "It's your tutor's call, why didn't you answer it?"
Gu Nianzhi knew that Huo Shaoheng was very careful and smart, and he knew him very well, so he was worried that he would catch his clues. With a swipe of his finger, he connected the phone, put it to his ear and asked with a smile: "Professor He?"
"Well, it's me." He Zhichu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his apartment, holding the phone and putting one hand in his trouser pocket. "Congratulations, your first lawsuit was a great success."
"There's not much I can do." Gu Nianzhi refused to take credit, "Master Huo and the others were well prepared. I was just acting as a sounding board at the front desk."
"You are too modest." He Zhichu's voice was clear and cold, with an innate coldness. He paused and told her: "I have seen your court records."
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
It was obviously a secret trial and nothing could be made public except the trial results. Where did He Zhichu get the court records
"Don't believe it?" He Zhichu sneered, "JD's Jin Dazhuang is now the chief lawyer of my Junlin law firm. The interview answer he gave me was this court record."
Gu Nianzhi barely mentioned it in one breath: "Isn't Jin Dazhuang the chief lawyer of JD? Why did he come to your place?"
"Is it weird? He lost the lawsuit and offended the Bai family, so JD naturally let him go. Now, probably no one in the law firms in the entire imperial capital would dare to ask for someone like him except me. He died." He Zhichu said it lightly, but Gu Nianzhi knew that there were many things involved and it was not that easy.
She sighed softly: "The Bai family really does this?"
Bai Yueran doesn't look like such a person who can't figure things out
"Of course the Bai family doesn't need to take the initiative. But now the outcome of the lawsuit is pending here, and JD Law Firm is still hanging around in the imperial capital. Letting Jin Dazhuang leave is their attitude to the Bai family." He Zhichu seemed very happy. Understand the inside story.
Gu Nianzhi was speechless for a long time, then said: "Then Professor He is not afraid of offending the Bai family?"
"Nianzhi, are you worried about me?" He Zhichu said lazily, and his mood that had been gloomy for a few days suddenly improved.
Gu Nianzhi: "...Goodbye, Professor He." He hung up the phone decisively.
Huo Shaoheng sat next to her with squinted eyes and glanced at her: "What's wrong?"
"Jin Dazhuang has been fired by JD Law Firm, and he went to Professor He's law firm." Gu Nianzhi shook his head, "It's just a lawsuit, is that what it is?"
