Chapter 658 Xiao Baihe Is in a Desperate Situation, I Am Back!

"Witness, I would like to ask, does Ms. Wang love Mr. Bao?"

This first question attracted the attention of the whole court.

Whether the painter, Ms. Wang, loves the defendant, Mr. Bao, is indeed a question.

It can be heard that the two have divorced!

So between the two, have they ever loved, haven't loved, or have always been in love?

"My sister-in-law, she has always loved my brother. It's just that my brother has not lived up to it for a long time, and occasionally he will get angry with my sister-in-law. The conflict between the two did not happen overnight. Although they divorced in the end, but This divorce is just for the two parties to calm each other down, and they got back together soon."

"So, Ms. Wang is in love with Mr. Bao, right?"

"Against, lead witnesses!"

Just as Xiao Baihe asked a question, she was roughly interrupted by Bai Meiqi.

"The objection is valid, and this question is dismissed!"

Ni Qiuping also had to nod in response.

Xiao Baihe took a deep breath, calmed down, and then continued to ask questions.

"Witness, may I ask if Ms. Wang said she loved Mr. Bao before she was alive?"

"Against, lead witnesses!"

Xiao Baihe's second question was interrupted by Bai Meiqi again!

This time, Xiao Baihe couldn't bear it anymore.

"The objection is valid!"

But Ni Qiuping's response made her helpless.

Xiao Baihe could only reorganize the language: "Did Ms. Wang talk about Mr. Bao before she was alive?"

This time, Bai Meiqi didn't object anymore.

"Yes, after my sister-in-law and my brother divorced, they couldn't find a rented house for a while, so they lived in my house temporarily."

The witness recalled: "During that period, my sister-in-law was in pain every day, and it was not an exaggeration to shed tears. That's what she told me."

"I just hope that guy can improve, is that wrong? I just hope that guy can take a little bit of responsibility, is that wrong? I'm so tired, I can't afford to support this family, if he and I have children in the future , I really don't want my child to follow such a decadent man, I just hope that he can do well, I don't need him to become a big deal, I just hope that he can..."

The witness said, explaining to the jury: "These are the exact words of my sister-in-law."

The jury members nodded subconsciously.

It can also be heard from these words that it really looks like a woman crying helplessly.

Two points can be drawn from this!

The first point is that Ms. Wang really still cares about Mr. Bao, otherwise the former would not be inseparable from the other party for three sentences when crying.

The second point is that Mr. Bao is indeed a waste. My wife obviously cares about you so much and doesn't ask you to make progress. She just hopes that you can change a little bit, but you are still such a waste.

"Everyone has heard it too. If Ms. Wang doesn't love my client, then why did she mention Mr. Bao many times when she was crying. Doesn't it mean that you care about the other party's performance when you mention a person many times?"

Xiao Baihe said, and then asked: "Witness, did Ms. Wang tell you about her paintings?"

"Yes, my elder sister loves painting very much, and when she was temporarily staying at my house, she also helped our family draw a family portrait. This painting has been placed in the most prominent position in the living room by me until now!"

"So have you talked to Ms. Wang about the ownership of the rest of Ms. Wang's paintings?"

"We talked about it, my sister-in-law said that her paintings are all her dreams, but I asked her if my brother wants a painting..."

"Then what?"

"My sister-in-law said that she will prepare the best painting for my brother!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Which is the best painting?

The best, of course, is the most expensive.

And the most expensive painting so far is "I"!

The court's wind direction changed again, and this time it blew towards the defendant, towards Xiao Baihe's side.

Seize the opportunity and pursue the victory!

Xiao Baihe can naturally see that she must go one step further!

"Ms. Bao, did Ms. Wang give the rest of the paintings to your brother before creating "I"?"

"No, before she created "I", she deposited all the paintings in the plaintiff's gallery for sale."

"Then that is to say, these paintings are not the ones Ms. Wang thinks are the best. Otherwise, according to her own agreement, she will leave the best painting to your brother. This agreement lasted until "I" was created. Before, it was not fulfilled, right?"

"Yes!"

"I, am I considered the best painting created by Ms. Wang?"

"I think so."

"reason?"

"Because when my sister-in-law created this painting, she knew that her body would not last long, so she painted herself deliberately, and wanted to leave the last painting of herself in the world to my brother. The birth of "I"!"

The witness said with red eyes, ""I" was created by my sister-in-law to leave it to my useless brother. I don't understand why someone would stop all of this and prevent my sister-in-law from fulfilling her promise!"

Hearing this, Xiao Baihe's eyes finally revealed a hint of satisfaction.

OK, enough is enough!

The jury looked at each other in blank dismay, and the hearing booth was full of discussions.

Plaintiffs.

"Lawyer Bai, look at them!"

Ms. Mi lowered her head and leaned close to Bai Meiqi's ear.

"Lawyer Bai, think of a way quickly, otherwise this painting will be given to that trash man!"

"Ms. Mi, don't worry, I have a solution!"

The client was scared, but Bai Meiqi was not, and there was even a hint of sarcasm on her face.

in court.

"Judge Ni, our questioning is over."

Xiao Baihe finally finished asking questions, and felt that she had a certain chance of winning.

Take care!

After returning to his seat, Mr. Bao came up to him with a happy face.

"Well, that painting is mine, right?"

"Mr. Bao, please pay attention, your wife just died, but you only care about that painting!"

Xiao Baihe was depressed, your sister just said so touchingly on the witness stand, why didn't you react at all?

You still laugh tm, laugh at your grandma's chicken thighs!

Didn't you see that the jury is looking at you and laughing when they see you, do you want to die?

Don't mention Xiao Baihe here and directly curse in her heart, while Bai Meiqi is already ready.

"Lawyer Bai?"

"Judge Ni, our side is already in place!"

Bai Meiqi came to the witness stand and asked the witness directly: "Ms. Bao, you are your brother's biological sister, right?"

"Yes……"

Ms. Bao looked confused. Does this question make any sense?

Is it weird that I am my brother's own sister?

"Your parents are also Mr. Bao's parents, right?"

The witness didn't answer any more, and just stared at Bai Meiqi in a daze, with a weird expression on her face.

"Objection, pointless question, these are all questions without any nutritional value!"

Xiao Baihe couldn't help it anymore, and directly expressed her dissatisfaction to Ni Qiuping.

"Lawyer Bai, what do you mean by asking these questions?"

"Judge Ni, I am asking these questions to clarify one thing!"

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Inheritance!"

"Inheritance?"

Ni Qiuping was stunned for a moment, but then she glanced at the witness, Ms. Bao, and then at Mr. Bao who was beside Xiao Baihe, and she was stunned.

"This court understands, you can continue, but I suggest you, ask questions directly, don't beat around the bush!"

Got it, understand what?

Xiao Baihe had always been a criminal defense lawyer before, and when he was a prosecutor, he was also responsible for the investigation and prosecution of criminal crimes, so naturally he didn't immediately think of the problem.

"Okay, Judge Ni, I understand." And here, Bai Meiqi was ready.

She took a deep breath, and then leaned in front of the witness: "Witness, you and the defendant's parents have passed away, right?"

"Yes, my parents died many years ago."

"Then I would like to ask, if the painting "I" is in the hands of your brother, and your brother and Ms. Wang have no heirs, if your brother leaves a will, or according to the right of inheritance, you may be your brother's only property The heir?"

"be opposed to!"

Xiao Baihe finally understood what Bai Meiqi's routine was.

Inheritance, she actually wanted to use inheritance to refute the witness!

"Judge Ni, what we are discussing this time is a valuable painting worth 20 million, or even 30 million, 40 million or more. I think it is very important to sort out the priority of property inheritance!"

After Ni Qiuping considered for a moment, she nodded: "Objection is invalid!"

Xiao Baihe frowned, and had no choice but to sit down.

And Bai Meiqi looked happy and looked at the witness.

"Ms. Bao, you haven't answered my question yet. If something happens to your brother, you are the only legal heir, right?"

"Yes." The witness nodded helplessly.

"Then, I have enough reason to suspect that you testify in court, and you are also because of interests!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Everyone never expected that the witness this time was also for that painting.

But it's right to think about it, this painting may be worth tens of millions, who wouldn't want it?

"be opposed to!"

Xiao Baihe immediately expressed her dissatisfaction.

"I take back what I just said." Bai Meiqi responded professionally with a slight smile.

Anyway, her goal has been achieved, and the credibility of Ms. Bao's testimony has been hit hard.

It is possible that she herself appeared in court only for her elder brother, Mr. Bao, but under this explanation of property and inheritance rights, the jury will obviously believe the latter more.

So, the court's winds changed again.

And Bai Meiqi decided to make up for it again.

"Witness, may I ask Ms. Wang and your brother, how long have they been divorced?"

"This..." The witness thought for a while and said helplessly, "Probably, 15 years."

"You keep saying that they got back together, may I ask if they have established a husband and wife relationship again?"

"This, it seems not."

"How long have they been together?"

"About two years..."

"Since you keep saying that Ms. Wang loves your husband, and that the divorce is just to make Mr. Bao reflect, then why can they be divorced for 15 years, and the so-called reunion in the last two years, they still keep living together occasionally, but separated for a long time status?"

"this……"

"Could it be that such a relationship is love? Then I believe that all the married people present, their family relationship, their husband and wife relationship, surpass the love of Ms. Wang and Mr. Bao, right?"

"this……"

This time, the witness was speechless.

But the jury and the hearing seats could also see that this is not love, it is clearly just making do.

If it was true love, how could they have divorced the branch office for 15 years?

"We end the cross-examination."

Bai Meiqi had the winning ticket in her hands, and returned to her seat after finishing the question.

She gave Ms. Mi a look, and then smiled.

Take care!

Ms. Mi was also very satisfied. Bai Meiqi's cross-examination was really powerful, which completely damaged the credibility of the witnesses, and even questioned the relationship between Ms. Wang and Mr. Bao.

This one is really stable!

"Witness, you can leave now."

After Ni Qiuping dismissed Ms. Bao, she looked at Xiao Baihe: "Lawyer Xiao, do you have any witnesses to call?"

Xiao Baihe's eyes subconsciously turned to the client, Mr. Bao.

Mr. Bao also nodded.

This time, it's just me!

Xiao Baihe said, I tm directly make the closing statement, and I don't want you to go to court.

What kind of person you are, you really don’t have any clues in your heart!

"Defense, do you have any witnesses?"

Ni Qiuping urged again.

Is there any, your client can't come up, can you give me an accurate word?

"Judge Ni, I..."

Just when Xiao Baihe was hesitating, the door of the court was suddenly pushed open.

"Judge Ni, the defense requests to add an important witness!"

As the visitor opened his mouth, everyone's eyes were unconsciously attracted to him.

And the moment they saw the person coming, they all reacted differently.

Bai Meiqi: (ΩДΩ)?

Xiao Baihe: Σ(⊙▽⊙“a

Ni Qiuping: (｀Д)!!!

jury:? ? ?

Hearing seat: Who is this guy?

"Why, are you surprised to see me?"

The visitor spread his hands and looked puzzled.

On the trial seat, Ni Qiuping raised her hand and patted her face, then closed her eyes again, and opened them suddenly after waiting for a few seconds.

His vision went from blurry to clear, and finally fixed on the face of the person in front of him.

Ni Qiuping: Damn it!

Similarly, Bai Meiqi also stared at the face of the visitor for a long time, her expression changed from doubt to surprise, and finally into disbelief.

Bai Meiqi: Damn it!

Xiao Baihe was stunned for a long time, she opened her mouth for a long time but didn't close it, because she didn't know what expression to use to respond to the appearance of the visitor.

Xiao Baihe: Damn it!

Perhaps, these two words are enough to express their inner thoughts.

"Old Xiao, don't open your mouth, close it!"

The visitor walked up to Xiao Baihe and lifted the latter's chin lightly.

Xiao Baihe took a few steps back in a hurry, but finally adjusted.

"Zhang Wei, you...you you you you..."

You chatted for a long time, but couldn't speak, because the identity of the person who came shocked her.

The person who came was none other than Zhang Wei!

After disappearing for 2 years, the person who returned to Dongfang Capital and appeared in the civil court is Zhang Wei!

This time, the jury and the hearing booth were all blown up.

Damn it!

This is Zhang Wei!

The once famous murder lawyer, the chief culprit of the Oriental Star tragedy, the most wanted criminal in the Eastern Capital and even the Dragon Kingdom!

Damn, this is too explosive, how could such a person appear in court, and appear here, it must be a bit courageous!

"Why, everyone was surprised to see me?"

Zhang Wei spread his hands again and looked around.

Accident!

It's not just an accident, it's all shocking, okay!

"Zhang Wei, you..."

"Old Xiao, don't worry about my business, you still have a witness!"

Zhang Wei said, pointing to the gate of the court.

Besides him, another person came.

The person who came was a woman, wearing a uniform and glasses, she looked like a working woman.

"This is your new witness, remember to thank me."

As Zhang Wei said, he blinked at Xiao Baihe and smiled.

"Old Ni, I haven't seen you in two years, don't come here without any problems!"

"Zhang Wei, will you kick me as soon as you come back?"

"No, I'm just helping you, Old Ni, with your work. So this time, I brought a heavyweight witness!"

"You still say you didn't kick up with me?"

Ni Qiuping gave Zhang Wei a blank look, but then took a deep breath.

"You boy, it's good to be back!"

"Yes, I'm back."

Zhang Wei also smiled slightly, and then looked at Bai Meiqi.

"Lawyer Bai, please stay safe!"

Bai Meiqi didn't know how to answer, so she could only nod in response.

Zhang Wei patted Xiao Baihe on the shoulder, then turned and walked towards the hearing stand.

In the first row of the hearing booth, seeing Zhang Wei taking his seat, many people left the seat one after another, avoiding to the back, fearing that something unfortunate would happen if they got close to Zhang Wei.

And Zhang Wei just sat in the first row of the hearing booth and looked at the field.

"Judge Ni, we request a new witness."

Although Xiao Baihe was shocked by Zhang Wei's appearance, she still gave full play to her job duties, looked at the new female witness, and asked Ni Qiuping for approval.

Bai Meiqi wanted to stop it, but after glancing at Zhang Wei, she chose not to speak.

She knew that even if she stopped her, Zhang Wei must have prepared a counter-routine to deal with her blocking.

Speaking rashly is just asking for humiliation.

And just like that, new witnesses came to court.

"Hello, witness, may I ask you..."

Xiao Baihe was also a little helpless because he didn't know the person coming.

"I'm an entrepreneur, and the company I run under my name is responsible for framing paintings. You can identify me as a frame customizer!"

"So, may I ask the witness, what is your relationship with this case?"

"I received a commission from Ms. Wang last year, and she asked me to customize a black frame for a painting!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was stunned.

Ms. Wang, could it be...

"Ms. Wang said that the original gold leaf frame was not her husband's favorite, so she deliberately chose a set of modern black frames. We communicated many times. Originally according to the details of the commission, this painting was at the beginning of the year. Ms. Wang It should have been delivered, but she didn't, and I only found out after inquiring about it that Ms. Wang died of cancer, so the order had to be cancelled."

When Xiao Baihe heard this answer, she was shocked immediately.

How could there be such a thing, how could she not know.

But she quickly caught on to something.

"Witness, you said that Ms. Wang ordered a new frame for a painting. Is this painting..."

"Yes, it's the painting "I". She clearly told me all the information about the painting, including the name. Of course, I am more concerned about the size of the painting, which is related to the content of my work!"

"Then, Ms. Wang gave instructions before she died, where do you need to send the frame?"

"Yes, she filled in the address in the order!"

"This address, the house that Ms. Wang is renting, or the location of the plaintiff, Ms. Fang Mi's gallery?"

"No, this address is the address of the defendant, Mr. Bao!"

The witness said, looking at Xiao Baihe and Ni Qiuping, "I asked Ms. Wang this question, but she said that this painting is the only work she left to her husband, so it has to be sent to his home!"

"Excuse me, do you still have a record of the order?"

"Yes, I brought you all the copies!"

As the witness spoke, he took out a whole set of order documents from the bag at his waist.

When Xiao Baihe saw these documents, his eyes straightened.

It's turned around!

It's really turned around!
