Chapter 1631 Preview

The calm result was that Mary took Pearl back to the castle in Los Angeles early.

Li Zitao and Aiden were left to depend on each other in New York, with little communication at home.

Occasionally their eyes met during the meal, and Aiden was the only one who responded with a silly smile.

The atmosphere at home also became deserted, and Li Zitao wanted to leave several times, but Aiden's court day was coming soon, and he could not be left alone.

Both Li Zitao and Aiden were a little nervous about this court session.

Although Mahathir said he would send people to investigate, Li Zitao still worried about letting the Eagle Eye people follow up.

According to the evidence investigated by Eagle Eye, the prosecution does not have conclusive evidence in this prosecution. They are forcing the matter on Aiden.

It is self-evident what the other party's purpose is. The first thing Li Zitao thinks of is himself.

Someone wants to make a fuss about him, but they don't know what the other person's purpose is.

"I'm done." Aiden put down his spoon and prepared to leave.

Frandi walked over quickly and said softly: "Sir, Mahathir is here."

"Invite him over." Li Zitao wiped his mouth and ended the meal.

Aiden also sat down again. Mahathir must have come here for the court session tomorrow. I don’t know what else he investigated.

Soon Mahathir came in with two assistants. The two looked around with the same surprised expressions on their faces as other people who came to the apartment for the first time.

"Sit down!" Inviting them to sit down, the servant brought coffee and tea, "Have you had breakfast?"

"Already eaten," Mahathir said with a smile.

"No..." The female assistant's upright expression was stunned, and she quickly changed her words and said, "The tortillas are delicious."

"Haha~" Seeing the wide-eyed expressions of Mahathir and the other party, Li Zitao burst into laughter: "We are still ready, let's talk while eating."

"Mahathir, are there any clues?" Aiden asked about the results of his investigation after the servant brought breakfast.

Putting down his knife and fork, Mahathir wiped his mouth and said, "We have asked people who were there that night to find out what happened, but no one saw clearly what happened."

"Alcohol, blues rock, marijuana, mixed male and female hormones...you should know that no one will notice what is happening around them."

It was precisely because this made it more difficult to collect evidence that the police would seize Aiden, the only 'suspect' at the scene, because he was the only one with the victim's blood on his body.

As for what he said about going to help, no one else except Christina and Frances could prove this, which gave the other party a reasonable motive for suspicion.

Although he wouldn't come up with a stupid conclusion like 'You didn't do it, why did you go up to save me?', the other party also grabbed the blood stains on his body and wouldn't let go.

"The prosecutor's informant told me that they are looking for clues from the blood traces to prove that the murderer is you. The focus of tomorrow's defense should be here."

Being able to make a law firm bigger and stronger depends on capital. Mahathir also has his own abilities and channels.

Money alone cannot sway judges and juries, especially those who hate the rich and corporations.

The American judicial system can be said to be perfect on the one hand, but funny on the other.

Let a group of people have no understanding of the Constitution and make judgments based entirely on their own subjective judgment to decide whether a person is guilty or innocent.

However, it is precisely because of this that lawyers are particularly popular in the United States, especially those top lawyers who know how to guide the jury to favor their side.

Mahathir is a master at this. He once used a female jury to successfully incite the jury to 'rebellion'.

’ Let his clients go from 9 votes in favor of guilty to unanimous acquittal.

"So, you already have a way to deal with it, right?" Looking at his relaxed and proud expression, I believe he already has an idea in mind.

"Yes, it would be better if Aiden could testify in person..." Mahathir looked at Aiden and said, "We can have a rehearsal."

"No problem." Aiden said cooperatively.

He didn't want to be blamed for something he didn't do, even if it was just a rumor. Sometimes rumors were more deadly than bullets.

"Then let's get started!" Mahathir said as he pushed the dinner plate away and stood up.

The female assistant, who was intoxicated by the delicious taste of Antarctic red prawns, stood up helplessly, with half of the shrimp tail hanging out of her mouth, looking funny and embarrassed.

Covering her mouth with her hand and swallowing the shrimp tail, the female assistant bowed awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry...it's really delicious."

"I'll treat you to food after the case is over." Aiden said in a funny tone. The other party behaved like a newbie in the workplace. He didn't understand why Mahathir chose her as his assistant.

Could it be that the two of them...haven't the previous lessons been enough?

"Where were you at 11:15 pm on November 22?" The closed reception room turned into a rehearsal court, with Aydin now sitting in the witness box and Mahathir as the prosecutor.

"Route 206," Aiden said with a smile.

"To be precise, it was at the party at the Rangers Motel in the middle of Route 206, right?" The female assistant looked at him closely with a serious expression.

Aiden glanced at Mahathir unnaturally, nodded and said, "Yes."

Seeing this scene, Mahathir whispered to his assistant: "You can ask next."

"Me?" The female assistant pointed at herself uncertainly. She was just a newcomer. Previously, she had just changed roles and put herself in the prosecutor's perspective.

"This is exactly what I need." Mahathir looked at her with encouraging eyes.

After regaining her composure, the female assistant began to ask, acting aggressively, "How did you notice the victim? Is it possible that you already had some idea when you saw her?"

"I have sharp eyes."

"That is, in the chaos of the scene, you can still notice every corner and what's going on?"

"I didn't say that, I just happened to see it."

"Why did you happen to see the victim and not someone else? Why was it that you were the only one who noticed the victim falling to the ground?

Is it possible that this was part of your plan, and that while you were joining the party in search of prey, you happened upon the beautiful victim?

But when you made a certain invitation, you were ruthlessly rejected by the other party. Your pride made you unbearable, so you accidentally killed her. "

Aiden started to act a little irritable: "I didn't do it."

"So, what did you do after you found out who the victim was?"

"You said you wanted to go up and help. What did you do? Do you know first aid knowledge? Did you immediately seek help from other people at the scene?"

"Yes, I'm looking for help."

"Who is it, your companion?"

"Yes, Christina and Frances."

"What is your relationship?"

"Christina is my assistant and Frances is my friend and classmate. We have a good relationship."

"But according to the evidence we have obtained, you are living together. The business between the Hilton family and Astor is largely brokered by Li, right?"

"So, is it possible that she would be under such pressure and not dare to tell the truth?" The female assistant looked at him sharply, as if looking at the real murderer.
