Chapter 831: Bad-Tempered Little Girl

"Objection! The defendant's lawyer made unreasonable inferences and slandered the prosecution witness!" The prosecutor quickly stood up and objected to He Zhichu and continued, "These two situations cannot be compared. Mr. Butler has served in the Vanderbilt family for more than 20 years and has not appeared. I made a mistake, but this Mr. Yexuan had a dispute with Mr. Vanderbilt within a few days of coming here, and Mr. Vanderbilt’s family was killed immediately. I want to ask this Mr. Yexuan, did you have an argument with Mr. Vanderbilt? What dispute?!"

Ye Xuan sat in the dock without saying a word, and did not answer the prosecutor's questions.

He Zhichu didn't want Gu Xiangwen's story to be known to everyone, so he interrupted the prosecutor's questioning: "Your Excellency's question is beyond the scope of this case. Besides, there is a dispute, it's just Mr. Butler's statement. Is there anyone who can prove that they had an argument in the street?"

He Zhichu looked at the neighbors in the neighborhood where the Vanderbilt family lived.

Facing He Zhichu's awe-inspiring face, these people were a little hesitant.

If it was an online fight without any legal consequences, they would say without hesitation: "I've seen it!"

And will vividly fabricate some sensational content to gain online clicks.

But now in court, every word they say will have legal consequences.

And lying to testify is a crime in itself.

So they hesitated and shook their heads.

Indeed, they only saw Ye Xuan talking to Vanderbilt, and it seemed that the two were still a little excited, but no one had personally heard what the two were talking about.

What did they talk about? Only heaven knows Ye Xuanzhi.

Ye Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want everyone to know about Gu Xiangwen's will.

He Zhichu indifferently made a "cannot help" gesture to the prosecutor, "It doesn't matter what my client said to Mr. Vanderbilt, what matters is whether he has the conditions and motives for committing the crime. If so, please prosecute Fang confirmed. If there is no evidence, please do not continue to detain my client.”

According to the "-of-innocence" principle in the American judicial system, if the prosecution has no evidence to prove that the defendant is guilty, then the defendant is innocent and should be acquitted.

The prosecutor gave the sheriff a dark look.

It should be the responsibility of the police to collect evidence, but the sheriff was obviously only satisfied with arresting Ye Xuan and did not collect further evidence, which made him passive in court.

The sheriff's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he felt a little regretful.

To be honest, the difficulty of this case is not something that a sheriff in a small place like him can handle.

The most correct way is to contact the FBI immediately and let them take over the investigation.

But the police chief was obsessed with ghosts for a while, and wanted to take the opportunity to increase his popularity and leave a strong mark in his career, so he kept selfishness and focused on detaining Ye Xuan, hoping to find important clues from him.

Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan was able to invite He Zhichu to be his defense lawyer. Not only was he able to schedule the interrogation immediately, but he also seemed to "introduce" a new important suspect to them.

The sheriff's eyes fell on the butler, he sneered twice, and said nothing.

Seeing this posture, the prosecutor also knew that there was nothing to sing.

He threw down two cruel words: "Whether he has done anything, God knows! He knows it himself!"

He Zhichu did not comment on the prosecutor's harsh words, turned to look at the judge, and made a closing statement: "Your Honor, my client had no motive or condition to kill and set fire. In fact, he even connected Mr. Vanderbilt He has never entered his house. Just because he said a few words to him on the street, he will be charged with the crime of murder and arson. The behavior of the prosecutor and Mr. Sheriff in disregard of the law and knowing the law is outrageous. I would like to represent my The parties concerned solemnly filed a request for acquittal to the court, and hope that the Little Rock police will cooperate with the FBI as soon as possible.

Find the real killer and find long overdue justice for Mr. Vanderbilt's family! "

He Zhichu's words shocked the jury.

After discussing behind closed doors for half an hour, they concluded that Ye Xuan was not guilty of murder and arson.

Emerging from the conference room, they presented the jury's decision to the judge.

The judge looked at it, and it was similar to his idea.

Although Ye Xuan suddenly appeared in Little Rock, and then Mr. Vanderbilt's family suffered such misfortune, it is indeed doubtful, but there is no direct or indirect evidence linking Ye Xuan to this case.

The hearsay of passers-by and the housekeeper's one-sided remarks were not enough for the jury to make a judgment of Ye Xuan's guilt.

Moreover, the judge of the Superior Court looked through the file and found that Mr. Vanderbilt's family had another suspected case.

That was more than ten years ago, when Mr. Vanderbilt was still living in New York State, his eldest son suddenly drowned in the sea when he was out at sea. The eldest son’s wife insisted that he was killed, but the local police ruled that he committed suicide. Mr. Vanderbilt There was a quarrel with the local police, and then I moved away from New York State and settled in Little Rock, Utah, a small place where birds don't lay eggs.

Since then, Mr. Vanderbilt has spent a lot of money to equip his family with bodyguards, but unexpectedly, he still failed to save his family's lives.

Ten years ago, Ye Xuan was less than 10 years old, so it was impossible to have anything to do with him at that time.

It was also for this reason that the judge did not insist on keeping Ye Xuan, and He Zhichu lost face, so the judge announced in court: Ye Xuan was not guilty of murder and arson, and he was released in court.

As soon as the judge's verdict came out, the people brought by He Zhichu cheered.

Ye Xuan also showed an expression of relief.

But He Zhichu's face did not relax at all.

He still had a cold face, watching Smith step forward to hand over the work with the bailiff.

The sheriff of Little Rock turned his head and glared at He Zhichu and Ye Xuan, then quickly chased them out and asked the housekeeper of Vanderbilt's house to return to the police station to "assist in the investigation".

After packing up his things, the prosecutor came to He Zhichu, stretched out his hand, and said sincerely, "Lawyer He, I offended you today."

"Your Excellency the prosecutor, this is your duty." He Zhichu bowed gracefully, shook hands with him, and then took Ye Xuan to leave.

Walking out of the court, Ye Xuan squinted his eyes to look at the shining blue sky, and let out a long breath.

The feeling of freedom, you only know how to cherish it after you have lost it.

"Thank you Mr. He for your help. If it wasn't for you this time, I wouldn't have escaped so quickly." Ye Xuan sincerely thanked He Zhichu.

He Zhichu glanced at him, sneered, put his hands behind his back, and said, "You thought you were out of danger? No, your danger has just begun."

Ye Xuan: "..."

What does He Zhichu mean?

Why can't he understand?

He Zhichu quickly walked down the steps and said, "It's not too late, let's get out of here right away."

Ye Xuan followed him down the steps, very surprised, "Mr. He, what do you mean? Is there still danger?!"

But the Vanderbilt family is dead!

Ye Xuan still wanted to stay a few more days to investigate who would inherit Vanderbilt's estate after his family died.

In modern society, the inheritance of these rich people will never be lost once the house burns down...

Bank accounts, bank safes, escrow funds, paperwork, outside companies, there are so many places to hide a will.

He had no desire to leave Little Rock now.

He Zhichu stopped in front of his car and said simply: "The Vanderbilt family is dead, and their target is you now."

"Me?!" Ye Xuan was even more puzzled, "I don't know about Uncle Gu..."

Seeing that Ye Xuan also called Gu Xiangwen "Uncle Gu", the corners of He Zhichu's eyes twitched imperceptibly, "Get in the car."

Ye Xuan followed him into the car and drove towards the interstate highway from Little Rock to Salt Lake City International Airport.

Both He Zhichu and Ye Xuan were sitting in the back seat of the car.

This is a luxury version of the bulletproof Cadillac sedan. The interior of the car is very spacious. There is a soundproof and bulletproof glass wall between the front seat of the driver and the co-pilot and the rear seats.

This glass wall is erected to ensure the safety and privacy of rear passengers.

He Zhichu only looked at Ye Xuan several times at this time

The corners of the twinkling peach blossom eyes were slanted upwards, and the meaning of weighing and doubt in the eyes was very obvious.

Ye Xuan moved to the side uncomfortably, trying to stay as far away from He Zhichu as possible.

"...Your name is Gu Xiangwen, Uncle Gu?" He Zhichu seemed to be suddenly interested in his relationship with Gu Xiangwen.

Ye Xuan nodded without hiding it from him, "Uncle Gu funded me to study in America, I am very grateful to him."

So when he was in trouble, he had to help him protect the Gu family.

He Zhichu snorted lightly, and said indifferently: "For him, it's too easy to subsidize an orphan to study, and a little leakage through the fingers can make a rich man. Do you have to be so grateful?"

It's like bowing down to death.

Ye Xuan pursed his lips, turned his head and glanced at him, "Mr. He, I will not take other people's kindness to me for granted. Especially, Uncle Gu is willing to do so many things for me despite not being related to me. Changed my life, of course I am grateful to him and would do anything for him."

He Zhichu was noncommittal, and looked at Ye Xuan coldly, "That's all? As far as I know, Gu Xiangwen didn't care much about you. He left you in the United States for so many years and ignored him. Apart from sending money, he did everything for you. What have you been?"

Ye Xuan didn't like to hear these words. He stiffened his neck and said angrily: "Uncle Gu is doing it for my own good! Although I have not been allowed to go back to Barbados for so many years, I have been in contact with him on the Internet!"

Not only is there a connection with him, but also a connection with that weird little girl...

But thinking that the person who was chatting anonymously with him turned out to be Gu Nianzhi, not Gu Yanran, Ye Xuan felt mixed feelings, and his momentum also dimmed.

"...I met her a few times when I was in the orphanage, but when we were young, she was proud, domineering, a bad-tempered little girl, not very talkative. But she was in my When I fell into the sea, I didn't hesitate to save me. I knew, how could Uncle Gu's daughter be that kind of person? I actually believed everything Gu Yanran said about her." Ye Xuan shook his hands with a miserable smile. He clenched his fist and hated himself.

He Zhichu was slightly taken aback, and his heart tightened: "You little girl with a bad temper? Are you thinking of it?"
