Chapter 1352 Why Did You Go Early?
Cai Shengnan hurriedly glanced around, thinking that it was a good thing this trial was not open to the public and the media, otherwise the situation just now would be photographed by those new media and posted on the Internet, and they would lose a round first in terms of momentum...
"Jialan, don't shout loudly." Cai Shengnan lowered his voice and pulled Luo Jialan's arm, "In case there are sneak shots around..."
Luo Jialan was startled, quickly straightened her face, and whispered, "I'm just so angry..."
"I know." Cai Shengnan looked at the direction where Gu Nianzhi's back disappeared with heavy eyes, and said softly: "In law, the defendant enjoys benefit of doubt, you are innocent until proven guilty. She claims that she needs to provide evidence. Before she proves you guilty, you are Not guilty. ——Don't worry, it's not easy for her to win this lawsuit."
Luo Jialan pondered Cai Shengnan's words, but still felt a little uncomfortable.
With a sullen face, she said softly: "Didn't you say that I must be fine? How did it become, 'It's not easy for her to win'? ——Is it possible for her to win?!"
Cai Shengnan: "..."
The corner of his mouth twitched helplessly, "Jialan, please be more rational. From the perspective of probability, there is no absolute right or wrong, and there is no absolute must lose or win. You have to be more cautious."
"You let me look away now?!" Luo Jialan was so angry that she almost poked her finger on Cai Shengnan's chest, "You are a lawyer, and your accusation is to make me acquitted and protect the family property!"
"I'll do my best, but you also need to know that they are very powerful. In order to let Gu Nianzhi become the prosecutor's lawyer, they even did not hesitate to recruit a prosecutor." Cai Shengnan said meaningfully, "So, you must restrain yourself. Don't give them a chance."
Luo Jialan hurriedly assured: "I will definitely."
"Don't say what you said just now." Cai Shengnan turned his head and walked forward, "Gu Nianzhi is cunning and suspicious, if you are not careful, you will fall into her trap."
Luo Jialan nodded with deep understanding, "I see, Lawyer Cai, you must pull her down!"
Cai Shengnan narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath.
She is also looking forward to defeating Gu Nianzhi...
As far as she knew, Gu Nianzhi seemed to have never lost a lawsuit since he appeared in court.
Her father was so powerful that he also lost several lawsuits back then.
Needless to say Cai Shengnan himself, the probability of winning the lawsuit is about 80%, and the probability of losing is 20%.
But in foreign countries, her winning ratio is already against the sky, so she became a partner of the second largest law firm in the United States before she was thirty years old.
Although her father played a certain role, but she is also capable, otherwise the law firm is not a charity organization, specializing in poverty alleviation.
In short, if she can defeat Gu Nianzhi this time, she will end Gu Nianzhi's "undefeated" record!
...
Gu Nianzhi entered the gate of the court and found Court No. 1 where they had this trial.
Because it is a closed trial, it is not open to the public and the media, so the Imperial Capital Intermediate People's Court has used the No. 1 court with the best confidentiality measures.
The door of the courtroom was open, and the staff inside were already adjusting the equipment.
There is a long table at the door, and there are staff behind the table carrying instruments for safety inspection.
Mobile phones, cameras and video cameras are not allowed in the courtroom.
Laptops have to be tested by court professionals before they can be brought in.
Similar to the security check before boarding the plane.
Gu Nianzhi came early and patiently took out all the things in front of the door.
The mobile phone was packed in a transparent plastic bag, locked into the small safe behind the man's back, and Gu Nianzhi was given a number as verification for taking the mobile phone.
Gu Nianzhi didn't bring a camera or video camera, and after checking the laptop, he returned it to her.
She smiled at the court staff who were conducting security checks at the gate, and carried a bunch of her own things into the court gate No. 1.
After ten minutes, Cai Shengnan and Luo Jialan also came in.
The two looked calm, occasionally whispering to each other, like best friends.
Gu Nianzhi didn't raise her head, and concentrated on her preparations.
Luo Jialan and Cai Shengnan sat in the auditorium on the other side of the dock and chatted for a while, their tension was relieved, and they couldn't stop looking at Gu Nianzhi.
Seeing that she was the only one at the plaintiff's seat without even a witness, Luo Jialan couldn't help laughing.
She lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then stood up from her seat, and said to Cai Shengnan, "I'll go and have a few words with her."
Cai Shengnan stopped her, and said displeasedly: "Don't make troubles, we are already opposing sides, what's the use of your saying? Could she just give up and sue you immediately?!"
Luo Jialan raised the corners of her eyes and smiled, "If you haven't tried it, how do you know it won't work? Besides, if I don't embarrass her, will she let us go? At this time, don't say it for nothing. ——She If I’m not happy, I’m happy.”
With her insistence, Cai Shengnan had nothing to say.
He raised his hand, "Whatever you want, you can scold or ridicule, but don't say a word about the key things."
"I know." Luo Jialan got Cai Shengnan's permission and came to Gu Nianzhi.
Gu Nianzhi looked up at her, "Miss Luo, what can I do for you?"
"I'm fine, just to see how tough you can be." Luo Jialan crossed her arms and looked down at Gu Nianzhi, "If you want to stop, I can give you a chance at any time. ——To tell you the truth , your case is really difficult to win, why do you have to fight to the death? We can settle out of court. "
Out-of-court settlement is a professional term that Luo Jialan heard from Cai Shengnan, not referring to her case, but she thinks she can give it a try.
If Gu Nianzhi agrees to settle out of court, Luo Jialan is willing to contribute half of the trust fund as compensation.
Gu Nianzhi bent his lips, "Out-of-court settlement? It's a pity, there is no such thing as out-of-court settlement in criminal cases, only civil cases can be settled out of court. If you heard this term from Cai Shengnan, I can Let me tell you, you were misled."
Luo Jialan blushed. Cai Shengnan said that an out-of-court settlement was not applicable to her case. She didn't understand it at the time, but she didn't ask too much. She just subconsciously felt that it was artificial, why didn't she give it a try?
It never occurred to me that out-of-court settlement is not applicable to criminal cases.
She returned to her seat in despair, extremely ashamed.
Seeing Luo Jialan's appearance, Cai Shengnan knew that he had suffered from Gu Nianzhi, so he didn't care. Anyway, she had done her duty to remind her, and there was nothing she could do if she didn't listen.
Cai Shengnan was also concentrating on his preparations.
Five minutes before the trial, Song Jinning finally walked in.
At the same time, her ex-husband, General Huo Guanchen, followed in.
The two witnesses summoned by Cai Shengnan, Mrs. You and Mrs. Xing also came in at this time.
They timidly glanced secretly at Song Jinning and Huo Guanchen, and sat down in the auditorium beside Luo Jialan.
Seeing Song Jinning coming, Gu Nianzhi hurriedly got up to greet her.
"Ms. Song, sit here."
Song Jinning will sit with her.
Huo Guanchen was one of the witnesses. He sat in the auditorium behind the plaintiff's seat, facing Mrs. Xing and Mrs. You.
Gu Nianzhi secretly gave Song Jinning a thumbs up.
She never thought that Huo Guanchen would still be willing to be a witness for Song Jinning, but Song Jinning told her that one yard is worth one yard, and Huo Guanchen had to be her witness in this matter, so she called Huo Guanchen and it was done.
Not long after, the judge, the public prosecutor, the clerk and others also came in and sat down in their own seats.
At the same time, the military department also sent people to listen.
Because the defendant in this case is Luo Jialan, and her father Huo Guanyuan is a martyr in the military. Although she is not Huo Guanyuan's biological child, her mother Luo Xinxue and Huo Guanyuan are husband and wife, so she also has the right to enjoy the legacy of Huo Guanyuan's identity.
This was Cai Shengnan's idea to her.
She said that her background could not be compared with that of Huo Shaoheng, and she was an orphan, and she would not know how to die when she litigated with them, so she advised her to make a formal report to the military department and ask them to attend the trial, so as to deter Gu Nian. the goal of.
Gu Nianzhi is not the only one who has a military background, Luo Jialan raised her head and thought proudly, she also has one.
The military usually doesn't care about these things, but Luo Jialan specially wrote an application, and posted their official blog, plus a group of navy troopers booing from below.
After weighing the matter, the military department still sent someone to observe, but specifically stated that the military department asked for impartiality, fairness and justice, and the desire to restore the truth as soon as possible.
Luo Jialan looked at the four tall and burly soldiers sitting in the seat behind her in a standard posture, curled her lips, and thought to herself, why did she come so early when she appeared at this time?
If she had come to protect her early in the morning, she would not have been bullied so badly by the Huo family and Gu Nianzhi...
