Chapter 295: The 2 Most Important Things
Huo Shaoheng stood at the door of the bathroom and heard Gu Nianzhi laughing inside, shaking his head speechlessly, but his heart was still warm, he curled his lips slightly, folded his arms, leaned his back against the outer wall of the bathroom, and waited quietly for her to come out .
Gu Nianzhi laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe, bent over and stood for a while holding the sink inside, and only came out of the bathroom when he calmed down.
Seeing Huo Shaoheng waiting outside, Gu Nianzhi was very embarrassed, wondering if he heard his laughter inside...
After asking a few times tentatively, Huo Shaoheng was noncommittal, but explained to her in a low voice: "...Bai Yueran is too familiar with the people from the Legal Affairs Department of the Military Department. As a prosecution and defense lawyer, you are in charge of two cases. In fact, these two cases are basically one case. If you do it, it will be easier to communicate with us."
Only then did Gu Nianzhi understand, and quickly promised: "Young Master Huo, don't worry, since you trust me so much, I will definitely not disappoint your expectations!"
"Just do your best, no matter you win or lose, you are the best." Huo Shaoheng patted her on the shoulder, and Gu Nianzhi's legs went limp.
...
With Huo Shaoheng's encouragement and trust, Gu Nianzhi felt motivated.
She returned to her room with a laptop full of secret files stored on a hard drive, and began to study hard day and night.
Forensic doctor Zhu's autopsy report on Luo Xinxue's body, Director Wang's appraisal report on all the evidence, and Shan Bohan's assessment of Song Jinning's mental state all made Gu Nianzhi read with gusto, and the notebook alone made a 2MB computer document.
In addition to being familiar with these evidence materials, she also had to write a draft of the court defense by herself, and she was familiar with some professional terms.
The court will be held in three days, and the time left for her is really too little.
For the past three days, she wished she had no choice but to live in the computer.
Song Jinning came to see her and saw her with loose hair, sitting in front of the computer in a nightgown, dizzying at work, secretly admiring her, cooking for Gu Nianzhi, making soup and meals for Gu Nianzhi, and bringing them here every day to accompany her eat together.
When eating, Gu Nianzhi never forgot to discuss the case with Song Jinning.
"Aunt Song, tell me, if Luo Xinxue's death was really caused by Bai Jinyi, why did she kill her six years after Huo Guanyuan's death? If she did it while Huo Guanyuan was still alive, we I can understand it. But when the man I like has been dead for six years, before I start killing his wife, I always feel that there is a missing link in the logic."
Although he hated Bai Jinyi, Gu Nianzhi thought that these evidences alone could not convince him that Luo Xinxue was killed by Bai Jinyi.
If she couldn't convince herself, how could she convince the judge?
Song Jinning is indeed a person who knows Bai Jinyi very well, she said calmly: "If you can't figure it out, you might as well think about what kind of person Bai Jinyi is."
"What kind of person is she?"
"As a person, there are only two things that are most important in her heart. One is her career, and the other is the man she has a crush on. For these two, I am not surprised that she can do anything." Song Jinning summed up Bai Jinyi's life in one sentence pursuit.
Gu Nianzhi swallowed a mouthful of okra pork ribs soup, and thoughtfully said: "The man you have a crush on is dead, so it's for her career? But it's not right, Luo Xinxue is a housewife, and Bai Jinyi's career is not as good as it is." If you don't violate the river, what reason do you have to kill Luo Xinxue for your own cause? Could it be that our direction is really wrong? Wasn't Luo Xinxue murdered? Or was she not murdered by Bai Jinyi?"
Gu Nianzhi looked at Song Jinning, and secretly thought that if Bai Jinyi could kill someone for his career, he should probably kill Song Jinning, right?
But at that time, Song Jinning was already mentally disturbed, so it was impossible for Bai Jinyi to be an obstacle.
But how could he attack Luo Xinxue?
Could it be that he killed him by mistake?
She quickly dismissed the idea again.
Because Luo Xinxue and Song Jinning didn't live in the same place at all at the time, there was basically no possibility of killing Luo Xinxue by mistake.
And judging from Zhu's forensic autopsy results, Luo Xinxue was murdered in all likelihood.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out. Later, after looking at the list of evidence handled by Director Wang and comparing it with the real thing, he discovered some clues and boldly adopted some strategies.
When the secret court opened on the third day, Gu Nianzhi was already confident.
She put on a simple light gray suit and skirt, her hair was tied in a bun behind her head, and light makeup was painted on her face. In order to look mature and capable, she even wore a pair of flat gold-rimmed glasses.
Huo Shaoheng frowned slightly as he looked at her attire.
Because the tailoring of the suit was too fitting, and the waistline was not full, making it look even more high-chested, round-his, and long-legged.
Fortunately, the flat glasses blocked Gu Nianzhi's big bright eyes, so she was not so eye-catching.
Otherwise, standing in court, Huo Shaoheng felt that most of the men's attention would be attracted by Gu Nianzhi's appearance, and he would not be able to hear what she was saying.
"Young Master Huo, I'm going to court for the first time today, don't you encourage me?" Gu Nianzhi stood in front of the full-length mirror, taking a final look.
Huo Shaoheng hugged her from behind, looked at her quietly from the mirror, then reached out with one hand, supported her chin, turned her around, and lightly pecked her on the lips, "This is Interest. When the case is over, I will pay back the principal..."
"Ah? Still have the principal?" Gu Nianzhi became even more excited.
For the debt owed to her by Shao Shao, she must win this lawsuit!
...
At 7 o'clock in the morning on January 28, Luo Xinxue's murder case officially opened in the secret court of the imperial capital.
It was the first time for Gu Nianzhi to come to the intermediate court of the imperial capital.
Because it was a secret court, after they entered, the door of the court was immediately closed tightly, and no one else was allowed to enter.
Gu Nianzhi glanced casually in the court, and saw that Huo Shaoheng led the team on their side. Besides Gu Nianzhi, there were also Yin Shixiong, Zhao Liangze, Zhu Fayi and Director Wang, several orderlies and entourages sitting in Huo Shaoheng's seat. around, as a human shield to protect him.
Forensic doctor Zhu and Director Wang, as expert witnesses, sat in the nearest position behind the plaintiff's seat, so that they could be summoned for questioning at any time.
As for Bai Jinyi's side, there were fifteen lawyers alone. They were all wearing black suits, and they were all sitting in the seats behind the dock, ready to provide support for the defense lawyers who appeared in court today.
The family members of the Bai family only came to Bai Changhui, the eldest son of the Bai family, and several staff members from the Institute of High Energy Physics, where Bai Jinyi works, also came to show their support for the boss.
The judge in court was a middle-aged man in his forties, unsmiling and very serious.
He looked at his watch and asked, "Is everything here?"
Both the plaintiff and the defendant indicated that they were present.
"Very well, Luo Xinxue's murder case is officially open." The judge struck the gavel.
As the plaintiff's lawyer, Gu Nianzhi first stood up and saluted the court, and then swore that everything she said today was the truth without any falsification.
The Bai family found out that the plaintiff's lawyer was not the well-known barristers from the Imperial Army as previously reported, but a college student who was as young as if he had just stepped out of college. They were a little silly.
Isn't this giving them victory? !
The first smile of the day appeared on Bai Jinyi's haggard face.
She turned her head and whispered in the ear of her defense lawyer Jin Dazhuang: "The other party's lawyer is Gu Nianzhi. As far as I know, she has just graduated from university for less than a year."
"Less than a year? Then she doesn't have the qualifications to be a lawyer!" Jin Dazhuang immediately raised his hand and said to the judge, "Your Honor, can Miss Gu show her qualification certificate as a lawyer?"
The judge ignored Kim Dae-jung.
Gu Nianzhi said unceremoniously: "I can go to court, so I naturally submitted the qualification certificate. Let me show you, why?"
Jin Dazhuang smiled and said: "Since you can show it to the judge, why can't you show it to us? Little sister, do you know what you are doing? Don't ruin your career."
"To each other." Gu Nianzhi responded unceremoniously to Jin Dazhuang.
Only then did the judge tap the gavel again: "Quiet, now the prosecution and the defense are making their first round of statements."
Gu Nianzhi spoke on behalf of the plaintiff, "Hello everyone, I am Gu Nianzhi, and I am entrusted by the Military Department's Legal Affairs Department to act as the plaintiff's attorney. Although Luo Xinxue is not a soldier, her husband is a senior colonel in the military department, Huo Guanyuan, and is a member of the military. She The military department attaches great importance to the victim's death."
