Chapter 2103
Gu Nianzhi was silent for a long time this time, so long that even her own team thought she couldn't hold it anymore.
Her assistant asked softly: "Chief Gu, do you want to adjourn the court temporarily?"
Gu Nianzhi twitched the corner of his mouth, "Let's ask about the situation first."
She stared at Lu Anpeng intently, and said: "...a diplomat just appointed? Attorney Lu, I think you know that this case was committed more than two months ago. If he is a diplomat now, I don't think Diplomatic immunity applies to him."
Lu Anpeng thought to himself, don't I even know this? Otherwise, how do you get involved in the legal profession in the United States?
He unhurriedly took out the letter of appointment given to Kevin by the President of the United States, pointed to the time and date on it and said, "Mr. Gu, please take a look at it. The time when our president appointed Kevin as cultural counselor happened to be on Christmas Eve last year." The day before, that is, December 23rd."
"Christmas Eve is December 24th, and this letter of appointment has already taken effect."
Lu Anpeng smiled slightly, looking confident.
There was an uproar inside and outside the court.
The people sitting next to Gu Nianzhi looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering why they didn't know about it since it had been filed with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?
When Kevin was arrested, if he knew that he was a US diplomat, why didn't the Ministry of Foreign Affairs come forward to inform them?
The Internet outside the courtroom is also full of excitement, and some people even deliberately set the rhythm.
[What happened to the diplomat? A prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people, let alone a diplomat? 】.
[The upstairs is either stupid or poisonous. Are diplomats and princes the same concept? Besides, where is there a real prince in modern society? Even if there is a mascot, does it have real power? 】.
[The brainless little pink upstairs, the Saudi prince wants to know, does he have real power? 】.
[Bah, bah, bah! Don't deliberately change the concept upstairs, the immunity of diplomats can't be washed, they just have it, jump off the building if they don't accept it! 】.
...
This wave of public opinion is obviously not good for Gu Nianzhi, and it is also not good for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The gang of bigwigs sitting in the conference room of the Imperial Army Headquarters watching the live broadcast of the interrogation were all surprised.
Chairman Long looked at Prime Minister Bai, and said very unhappy: "Old Bai, what do you mean? The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is just trying to hold us back, right?"
Prime Minister Bai smiled wryly and said, "This is the first time I've heard of it. Don't worry, Lao Long. I'll ask someone to ask what's going on."
During their internal investigation, Lu Anpeng had already laid out all the procedures.
Including the letter of appointment of the President of the United States, a copy filed with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, and the effective date.
No more, no less, it was the day before Kevin committed the crime.
In other words, on Christmas Eve, he was already the cultural counselor of the US embassy in the imperial capital officially recognized by both parties.
This position is neither high nor low, and it happens to be the lowest level for enjoying diplomatic immunity.
But there is no real power, just like an honorary position. In the United States, Congress does not even need to approve it, and the president alone can have the final say.
Considering the current unreliable president in the United States, Gu Nianzhi's eyes narrowed slightly.
It is indeed something he can do.
Her fingers tapped on the plaintiff's seat in front of her, and her expression didn't change much from the outside.
After Lu Anpeng presented all the evidence, he immediately asked the military court to dismiss the case and not allow an appeal.
"It's not a question of jurisdiction, it's a question of not being able to litigate at all," he said.
Gu Nianzhi interrupted him rudely, and asked in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, why did you continue to file a jurisdiction lawsuit for two months? Are you deliberately delaying time?"
What she said was so accurate that even Lu Anpeng, who had seen big scenes in the face of danger, paused for a moment.
He smiled awkwardly and said, "... how is it possible?"
"How is it impossible? Do you think everyone is stupid?" Gu Nianzhi pointed to the record of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that his team had just transferred, and said, "Yes, the letter of appointment of the President of the United States is indeed written on December 23rd." date of
But when I got the record from our country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the time shown was yesterday. "
"Why did you wait for more than two months to file? Didn't you fight for more than two months before you got this backdated letter of appointment!"
In other words, the letter of appointment was actually obtained only recently, but the date they obtained the letter of appointment is retrospective, earlier than the actual appointment.
But this kind of obviously fraudulent situation was approved by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire. This operation is even more ridiculous.
Lu Anpeng spread his hands, showing a gesture of "you can't help me", and said with a smile: "Anyway, this is the letter of appointment signed by our president, and it has also been filed and approved by your Huaxia Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which means that you have also approved it. Kevin's status as a diplomat began on December 23 last year."
"This case happened on the night of December 24 last year. At that time, Kevin was already a diplomat recognized by both parties and enjoyed diplomatic immunity according to law."
"As for why we have been fighting the jurisdiction lawsuit for two months, we are happy, and your court has also filed the case, why not?"
Gu Nianzhi sneered and said, "It's obvious that you are deliberately delaying the time with the jurisdictional lawsuit, so that you can work behind the scenes to get this backdated diplomat's appointment letter."
"It's really unreasonable to beat him up now!"
"Is there any reason? I think Lawyer Gu knows better than me!"
At this time, people with eyes inside and outside the court could see clearly that Gu Nianzhi was in a very disadvantageous situation, because it was not her opponent who brought her down, but her own people. It was the retrospective appointment of Kevin from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who ignored principles and regulations. The deputy minister who registered the book and stamped the permission!
At this time, Prime Minister Bai was furious, scolded the deputy foreign minister, and ordered him to suspend his post immediately, and sent someone to review his work.
At the same time, the cabinet launched a self-examination process to sort out the work procedures of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Speaker Long was still not satisfied, and threatened to start the impeachment procedure of the parliament, even the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Prime Minister Bai did not want to let it go.
Prime Minister Bai sighed and said, "Old Dragon, if this makes you happy, then do it. But the most important thing now is to think about how to deal with Kevin's case."
Admiral Ji said coldly: "I don't care if he is a diplomat or when he becomes a diplomat! In short, he killed our soldiers on our land, so I can't let him go!"
Prime Minister Bai and Speaker Long looked at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
It's not that there are other ways to deal with this matter, but because the trial has already been held, the whole world knows Kevin's new identity, even if it knows that there is a fraud, it is really not that easy to break the situation.
It seemed that Gu Nianzhi was doomed in this tussle.
Although she was blamed for being set up by a traitor, a lawyer who has never been defeated will also encounter her Waterloo.
Some people on the Internet have already started to feel strange.
[Hehehe, if you walk a lot at night, you will always encounter ghosts, Chief Gu is no exception].
[That's right, the cowhide blew up before, right? But she is not wronged, at least one of the vice ministers perishes with her hahaha].
[The nonsense upstairs is talking about the truth! Look at the faces of those Gu fans, they are all deformed with anger hahahahaha! 】.
[Upstairs said it well! I can laugh for a year! 】.
...
There was no sound in the courtroom at this moment, and everyone's eyes were on Gu Nianzhi.
She stood at the back of the plaintiff's seat with a cold expression. In front of her was a big screen, which had just paused the surveillance video.
Against the background of blood and fire, her back is thin and slender, her skin is as cold as jade, and her gaze is cold and piercing.
Lu Jin looked over from the corner where he was sitting, and suddenly felt that Gu Nianzhi looked exactly like Qin Suwen back then, even somewhat similar to He Zhichu's expression.
After all, they are Qin Suwen's biological children...
Lu Jin had mixed feelings in his heart, and he forgot to be excited and indignant.
Lu Yuan and Huo Shaoheng sat next to Lu Jin, one on the left and one on the right, with serious expressions on their faces, and they didn't speak to each other.
At this time, Gu Nianzhi was thinking nervously, did she have no cards in her hand?
Gu Nianzhi's memory is very good, just like Lu Jin, he really has a camera-like memory.
Now her mind is actually replaying all her materials.
His eyes fell on the letter of appointment of the President of the United States presented by Lu Anpeng, Gu Nianzhi had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly thought of some interesting things that Huo Shaoheng found when he ordered the Special Operations Department to investigate Kevin abroad.
The plump and plump water chestnut lips hooked up bit by bit.
Gu Nianzhi narrowed his jade-like eyes, looked at Lu Anpeng, and said, "Are you sure that the letter of appointment from the President of the United States is to appoint Kevin as a cultural counselor?"
Lu Anpeng nodded calmly, "There is also a passport number on it for comparison."
Gu Nianzhi restrained his smile, looked at Lu Anpeng seriously, and asked, "Really? Are you sure?"
