"Who else could it be?" He Zhichu glanced at Gu Nianzhi with a wry smile, "Okay, father, I'll hang up now. I have another case here. When this case is settled, I will definitely go back to see you."
Mr. He sighed, "Is it Nianzhi? Aren't you going to bring her back?"
He Zhichu didn't say anything. Mr. He said this very quietly. Gu Nianzhi didn't hear it, and she wasn't listening either. She was just thinking that today was Professor He's birthday. No wonder Professor He asked her to eat cake with him just now. , turned out to be a birthday cake.
He Zhichu put away the phone and the elevator had already reached the floor where they lived.
Gu Nianzhi stepped out of the elevator, suddenly flashed his big bright eyes, smiled and said to He Zhichu: "Professor He, happy birthday!"
He Zhichu didn't pay much attention to her casual remark, "You don't have to be so polite. Birthdays happen every year, so it's nothing unusual."
"Why isn't that surprising?" Gu Nianzhi felt very sorry, "Professor He, let me give you a birthday gift."
Seeing He Zhichu alone here, with no one even celebrating his birthday, Gu Nianzhi's heart softened.
"Well, then I'll wait." He Zhichu didn't show any concern at all, his peach blossom eyes twinkling slightly, "This is your first birthday gift to me... so you have to be considerate. If it's not good, I won't accept it."
Gu Nianzhi: "..."
Is there anything like this
Do you still have to be picky when giving gifts? !
Gu Nianzhi was full of slander, but of course he did not dare to say it out loud. He curled up his lips and smiled, spreading his hands and saying, "Then how can I be praised? Professor He has everything, from space shuttles to needles, threads, and brains. What else are you missing?" —Even if there is a shortage, I can’t afford it.”
Snapped!
He Zhichu patted her open palm lightly and said, "Think to yourself, isn't it very smart? You can't even think of this. I think you have a smart face in vain." After saying that, he turned back to himself. suite.
The person who was paying attention was standing in the corridor of the hotel, stamping his feet at his clear and solemn back.
In the evening, He Zhichu called everyone to a meeting and said that he had just received a call from the prosecutor. The prosecutor had found a new lawyer and the trial would continue tomorrow.
The four assistants and Gu Nianzhi began to prepare for tomorrow's trial.
They divided the work and cooperated. Some went to check the details of the defendant's new lawyer, while others looked for the lawsuits he had fought. Gu Nianzhi was responsible for reenacting the case in order to respond to various inquiries from the other party's lawyer.
Just like in the arena, they hold spears and the other side holds shields. It depends on whether their spears are strong enough to penetrate the opponent's shield, or whether the opponent's shield is strong enough to block their spears.
Everyone discussed until midnight before they left and went back to their rooms to sleep.
Early the next morning, six people took a chartered bus to the Munich District Court to participate in the trial.
This time, the court they went to was different from the last time.
The seats in the courtroom last time looked like middle school desks, but this time the seats were all thick black and placed in long strips on both sides of the room, adding to the sense of oppression.
When Gu Nianzhi walked in and saw these black court seats, he couldn't help but breathe softly.
Everyone sat down on two sides: the defendant and the plaintiff. The judge soon came in on time and announced the opening of the trial.
The plaintiff's prosecutor began to have a confrontation with the defendant's lawyer about the age of the two defendants.
The male and female defendants were both tall and thick-set. They stood like a wall and looked more like they were in their thirties or forties, rather than just 22 years old as claimed by the defendant's lawyer.
However, there is no problem with the birth certificates of the two defendants. At the time of the crime, they were indeed only 21 years old and less than 22 years old.
According to German law, going from 21 to 22 years old is a qualitative leap.
German criminal law stipulates that suspects between the ages of 18 and 21 who have not reached the maturity level of an adult must be dealt with according to the juvenile criminal law and tried by a juvenile court.
So the main topic today is whether the two suspects have reached the maturity level of adults.
Gu Nianzhi was very upset when he saw it.
These two bitches looked like adults at first glance, not to mention that they committed the crime of sexual intercourse that only adults would commit. She didn't understand what was there to argue about
But the defendant's lawyer obviously didn't think so.
As long as his client stays below the boundaries of an adult, their sentence will be much lighter.
There is no death penalty for juvenile crimes in Germany, and the most serious crime is only 15 years in prison. After two years in prison, you can be released on bail.
According to the family background of the male suspect Seth, he probably walked around the prison and came out.
Gu Nianzhi expressed deep dissatisfaction.
She clenched her fists and sat on the bench behind the plaintiff's seat, her little face tensed up.
The defendant's lawyer was talking eloquently: "... The latest scientific research proves that whether a person has reached the maturity level of an adult cannot be judged by age or appearance alone. Just like transgender people, I personally agree with it. Gender is her or his true gender! You can’t just say that a person is a woman just because she looks like a woman and has female characteristics. Maybe deep down, she thinks she is a man, so you have to respect her choice. Said she was a man..."
Gu Nianzhi's teeth almost broke when he heard this.
Where did you find this weird lawyer? !
It’s simply here to challenge everyone’s common sense and outlook!
Not only did Gu Nianzhi express his indignation, but even the Germans who were listening kept making gasping sounds.
If it weren't for the solemnity of the court, Gu Nianzhi would probably even have people booing...
However, the defendant's lawyer did not pay attention to everyone's reaction at all. He only focused on the judge, "Your Honor, when the case occurred, my client was not 22 years old, only 21 years old, and their mental behavior confirmed their The mentality has not yet reached the maturity level of an adult. I implore the judge to remand the case to the juvenile court for trial."
"Objection." The prosecutor immediately raised his right hand, "The standard for judging maturity mentioned by the defendant's lawyer is too subjective and is not what the law should define. As for whether the defendant meets the maturity standard of an adult, look at their body and teeth. It just depends on the development.”
The prosecutor said, taking out a medical test report and showing it to the court: "This is the medical evaluation of the two defendants by medical experts. From a physiological point of view, they are fully mature."
"Objection!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the defendant's lawyer jumped up immediately, "I said before that physical and appearance maturity alone are not enough to judge whether you are truly mature. Only psychological maturity is true maturity."
He cited classics and brought out all the new theories of neuroscientists at Harvard University in the United States, which made the prosecutor so angry that he was speechless.
This is going to cause trouble!
Gu Nianzhi couldn't listen anymore. He was mentally mature! He was mentally mature!
Do you think the world revolves around you? ! Why don't you plead guilty to acute interstitial manic psychosis at the moment you committed the murder? !
Gu Nianzhi held back his breath and stood up after gaining He Zhichu's consent.
As a member of the legal team hired by the plaintiff's parents, Gu Nianzhi is qualified to work with the prosecutor to fight against the defendant's lawyer.
"Your Honor, the latest research results from Harvard University in the United States cannot be used as a standard to judge whether the defendant is truly mature." Gu Nianzhi felt that the defendant's lawyer was just quibbling, while constantly changing concepts to brainwash everyone.
Unfortunately, Gu Nianzhi was also an expert at changing concepts and brainwashing, so she didn't fall for it, nor was she made speechless by anger.
"Harvard University is the best university in the world in the United States. Its neuroscience program is also one of the best in neuroscience. You actually said that it cannot be used as a standard?" the defendant's lawyer screamed.
He was still a little wary of Gu Nianzhi. After all, as soon as this little girl made a move, she forced the last defendant lawyer to go home and eat her. It was said that even the lawyer's license might be revoked.
This new defendant's lawyer was fully prepared, but unfortunately, there was almost no information about Gu Nianzhi. He could not find anything more to analyze Gu Nianzhi's court argument style.
Gu Nianzhi walked out of the auditorium behind the plaintiff's table and came to the defendant's lawyer. He said in a clear voice: "Public schools in the United States allow transgender students to choose whether to go into the men's or women's bathroom. Is this allowed in German public schools?"
The defendant's lawyer kept his mouth shut and refused to answer Gu Nianzhi's questions.
Because this question was obviously a trap. As soon as he answered it, he fell into the trap, and his previous defense was completely invalid.
"Please answer me." Gu Nianzhi waited for a while, but when the defendant's lawyer still didn't speak, he urged him.
"Your Honor, if the defendant's lawyer doesn't speak, should we find another lawyer for the other party?" Gu Nianzhi had no choice but to ask the judge again.
In court, the defendant's lawyer cannot refrain from speaking when being questioned by the plaintiff's lawyer.
The defendant has the right to remain silent, but the defendant's lawyer does not.
When the new defendant's lawyer heard that Gu Nianzhi was going to do it again, he couldn't help but sneered and said, "What? Are you going to sue me for racial discrimination again?"
"...No, I won't sue you for racial discrimination." Gu Nianzhi raised his eyebrows, "I will sue you for contempt of court."
The defendant's lawyer stared at Gu Nianzhi with a bored expression, opened his mouth, and finally said angrily: "What on earth are you going to say?"
"I'm asking you a question, please answer me. Will German public schools recognize the regulations for transgender students in American public schools?"
"Defendant's lawyer, please answer the plaintiff's lawyer's question." The judge finally spoke.
The defendant's lawyer hung his head. After a while, he said "no", but then immediately said: "But this standard is different from Harvard University's standard for personal maturity."
"It's different. Sir, I think your defense is just trying to catch a duck. You just found an argument, right?" Gu Nianzhi shrugged, "Actually, why do you bother so much? Such an advanced subject as neuromedicine is not suitable for you. , not to mention your client who seems to be mentally retarded and insane."

PS: I’m not in the mood to ask for votes today, I just want to remind you that a certain current author of Niangnv’s channel is also the author of a website. Thank you so much for liking A certain Han’s "Hello, Major General". Not only did you translate it into Chinese, but you even copied "You" "Hello, Major General", and directly use the public chapters of "Hello, Major General" as your VIP chapters to publish, and sell other people's free things for money. I can't stand it if you do this. , in Nianzhi’s words, you not only plagiarized, but also deceived. This is two crimes with an additional penalty!
