The judge trembled with anger and closed his eyes, his heart beating like a drum.
This matter was originally a small matter. He had cooperated with York for many years and had dealt with all kinds of unjust, false and wrongful cases. But now, for the first time, he felt that his good days seemed to be over...
The judge was in confusion and could only say: "Solve the problem quickly! Go!"
The clerk who came in a hurry left in a hurry. The judge glanced at this familiar courtroom. Although his face was trying to be calm, his trembling hands revealed his thoughts.
He trembled and groped for the gavel on the table. After trying it several times, he finally got it in his hand and planned to end today's court hearing immediately.
Gu Nianzhi stood close and listened, knowing that they had finally found out about the live video of the trial.
Gu Nianzhi felt that he had said everything he needed to say, and the German people also knew what they needed to know. The next step would be to see how this case ferments on social media and traditional German media.
There is no doubt that foreigners like them must use the power of public opinion to confront the senior police officials in the Rothlau region of Germany.
"Silence! In view of the emergence of new direct evidence in this case, this case will be adjourned for the time being and the court will be adjourned!" The judge tremblingly knocked the gavel and then left the room as if fleeing.
York and Ramona looked at each other, wondering why the judge had changed his mind.
It was clearly agreed that Ramona's son Seth would be released without charge today, and then they would quickly send him abroad to avoid the limelight.
As a result, the judge didn't even pronounce the verdict and just left.
What happened that they didn't know about? !
Staring at the slightly stooped back of the judge, Gu Nianzhi felt uncomfortable, especially after looking at the information provided to her by the prosecutor, the forensic autopsy report, and what the female defendant Nina said just now, it was more like a big stone. , weighing heavily on her heart.
Although they won a great victory this time, Gu Nianzhi didn't smile at all.
She packed up her laptop, put on big sunglasses, walked between He Zhichu and four male assistants, and walked out of the court with them.
As soon as it comes out, oh my god!
There are so many people outside!
All the media in Germany seemed to be here.
National TV stations, local TV stations, newspapers, magazines, online media, especially social media, which broadcast the trial live this time, sent many reporters to interview the plaintiff's lawyer, the defendant's lawyer, as well as the plaintiff's parents and the defendant's parents, and All relevant witnesses.
He subconsciously glanced at the plaintiff's parents. They were honest and ordinary people. They had never seen such a big scene before and were stunned for a moment.
"Professor He, let's take them away." Gu Nianzhi tugged on He Zhichu's clothes.
He Zhichu shook his head and said softly: "We don't have to worry about it. Minister Bai sent someone to bring them here and will help them block these reporters."
Sure enough, several Chinese people also wearing sunglasses squeezed in, came to the victim's parents, and said to the reporters: "Thank you for paying attention to this case. We hope that Germany can face up to its own country's judicial justice, punish the suspects, and seek justice for the deceased." justice."
Although it was a smooth and official article, Gu Nianzhi felt that it sounded different at this time.
These people were obviously members of the Embassy of the Chinese Empire in Germany. The diplomats were certainly impeccable in their speech, and they were more tactful than lawyers.
Gu Nianzhi felt relieved that the parents would not suffer any loss by following these people.
She followed He Zhichu into the commercial car with confidence.
Back at the hotel, Gu Nianzhi took a quick shower, changed clothes, and met up with He Zhichu and the others to go out for a celebration banquet.
Although the case has not yet been concluded, today's live court hearing video is enough to make those who want to operate behind the scenes a drink.
The six of them asked the driver of the commercial vehicle to eat together at the Michelin four-star restaurant that He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi discovered.
Gu Nianzhi's favorite was the Bavarian white sausage here. She ate four of them in one go, making her belly full.
Delicious food can soothe your mood.
Gu Nianzhi suddenly felt less depressed.
They had dinner outdoors. The August night in Munich was quiet and refreshing. Fireflies were flying around in the grass, like small moving lanterns.
The slightly tipsy wind blows from the Bavarian Alps not far away, bringing with it the coolness of ancient glaciers.
He Zhichu and several male assistants were drinking dark draft beer, but Gu Nianzhi was holding a cup of fresh cream hazelnut coffee and a small piece of blueberry cheese cake in front of him.
The air was filled with the scent of Bavarian roses, and everything seemed too good to be true.
Gu Nianzhi found that he was getting drunk drinking the fresh cream hazelnut coffee.
He Zhichu was sitting next to her, not too far nor too close, a very comfortable distance away. He was not looking at her, but was listening to the other four assistants.
While they were drinking, they talked about the case, and the assistant Smith who was sent by He Zhichu today to check the preparations of the German branch of the law firm. He was so regretful that he couldn't bear to look at Gu Nianzhi all the time.
He was afraid that if he looked at her again, He Zhichu would fix her again.
He Zhichu didn't eat much. He had a large beer glass in front of him and said to Gu Nianzhi: "In the next few days, I will meet with several people from the German government and prepare for the establishment of the German branch of the law firm. What are you going to do? do what?"
Gu Nianzhi held his head with his hands, being blown by the refreshing night wind. His whole body was filled with the sluggishness after being extremely nervous, lazily and unmotivated.
What are you going to do in the next few days when you don't have to go to court
What she wanted most was to find Huo Shaoheng, but Germany was so big, how could she possibly find him
Gu Nianzhi smiled bitterly in his heart, not daring to show any signs of it on his face.
After thinking for a while, Gu Nianzhi said: "Let me rest first. As soon as I came to Germany, I was busy with court matters. I haven't even recovered from jet lag. I rely on black coffee every day."
He Zhichu nodded, came to his senses, and asked her softly: "...Why are you so enthusiastic about this case?"
Gu Nianzhi was also puzzled. She turned the fresh cream hazelnut coffee in her hand and murmured: "...Actually, I don't know either."
When she first started, she originally wanted to take this opportunity to come to Germany so that she could meet Huo Shaoheng.
But after arriving, I found that it was almost impossible to find someone here, so I focused my attention on the case.
As a result, the more I learned about it, the angrier it became, and I even had an inexplicable feeling of empathizing with him, and later I became fully committed.
He Zhichu's gleaming peach blossom eyes were particularly gentle in the Munich night. He said warmly: "As a lawyer, just work seriously and don't invest too much in personal feelings. A successful lawyer does not need too much enthusiasm, but It requires the highest degree of calmness. Otherwise, too many personal emotions will prevent you from making correct and appropriate legal judgments. Think about the goddess of law. She always looks calm and calm. She would rather blindfold her eyes and just feel The balance in your hand cannot be swayed by emotions.”
Gu Nianzhi knew that He Zhichu was teaching her, so she accepted it sincerely and silently took a sip of the fresh cream hazelnut coffee.
When they finally finished eating, the four American assistants were already drunk and staggering.
Luckily they don't have to drive themselves.
The driver took them back to the hotel, looked at Gu Nianzhi specifically, and said, "Miss Gu, everyone is praising you for your awesomeness."
The live video of the court hearing was eventually deleted from the court's official account, but someone had already saved the video and uploaded it to other accounts for everyone to watch.
Gu Nianzhi never showed her face in it, but her voice was familiar to everyone.
Her standard Oxford-accented English and He Chu's standard Hanoverian German impressed everyone deeply.
The driver had obviously watched the live video of the trial. Although Gu Nianzhi did not appear in the video, as soon as he heard the voice, he knew that she was the only female lawyer in the legal team.
He looked delicate and slender, but his words in court were as sharp as a knife, and he silenced the famous rogue lawyer, the judge who tried to hoodwink him, and the arrogant York.
"Thank you." Gu Nianzhi smiled and nodded, "But it's not my fault alone. Our team is very powerful because they came up with it. I just followed the script."
Gu Nianzhi refused to take credit alone. In fact, the main credit should belong to the righteous police officers who quietly investigated and protected all the evidence even though they did not dare to come forward, as well as the prosecutors in the procuratorate.
Without their efforts to provide such detailed and weighty evidence, she would not be able to convince everyone no matter how eloquent she was.
In the dark Rosslaw area, it is these people who make people feel that the night is not so dark and that there is still hope for mankind.
Gu Nianzhi was very grateful to the prosecutor for giving her all the information, and also to the police in the Rothlaw area who secretly hid the evidence.
If they hadn't tacitly concealed the truth from the suspect's high-ranking police officer parents, the truth of this case would not have come to light so easily.
Gu Nianzhi raised his sincere coffee cup and looked at the Munich night starry sky, "I respect all those who uphold justice."
The lawyer profession is a mixed bag.
With so much professionalism, if you act without conscience, you can really confuse right and wrong.
Fortunately, people's awareness and knowledge level are constantly improving. The era of relying on one person to cover the sky and turn the sky upside down has passed.
Gu Nianzhi thought of Huo Shaoheng. If he were by her side at this time, he would definitely be proud of her, right
Because she is helping him protect what he wants to protect.
…
When Gu Nianzhi missed Huo Shaoheng, she didn't know that his current situation was very tense.
Huo Shaoheng is an extremely patient man. Although he is only 29 years old, he has been on the verge of life and death for ten years, and he has fought against the most elite, smartest, cunning and vicious enemies in all countries.
Sitting in his rented apartment, Huo Shaoheng very carefully untied the gauze to see how his injury was improving.
