Legend has it that there is a big devil in law and politics

Chapter 71 This lawsuit is so difficult to fight (2)

Bai Tianzong didn't expect that Gu Shengtian didn't want to see Luo Lan so much, he chuckled and said, "Xiao Tian, ​​I thought you were interested in Luo Lan, that's why I kept her by my side as an assistant."

Gu Shengtian showed a troubled expression, and whispered: "It's not that I'm interested in Luo Lan, it's that Sister Xin likes Luo Lan. This little rookie looks good, but it's really annoying. How could I take the initiative to keep her?" By my side, by the way, Lao Bai, you know Sister Xin quite well, have you ever heard of someone named Su Mei?"

"Oh, Su Mei, your sister's college classmate, why did you suddenly ask about this person?"

"Old Bai, then you should know the relationship between her and my sister."

Bai Tianzong was a little embarrassed when asked by Gu Shengtian, and whispered: "Oh, I also heard that Su Mei had a good relationship with your sister before her junior year, but in the second semester of her junior year, she doesn't know which one There is something wrong with your muscles, and you snatched the boyfriend of your sister's other good sister, and then their relationship became stagnant, and then they didn't have much contact until graduation, did you meet Su Mei?"

"Yes, Su Mei came to me to file a divorce lawsuit. Sister Xin said she would think about it."

While the two were talking quietly, Du Zhong's witness had already appeared in court and introduced himself: "Judge, all jurors, my name is Zhou Xueqin, and I am a long-term nanny hired by the Bai family."

"Aunt Zhou, I want to ask, what happened on the night of the crime, that is, in the early morning."

Zhou Xueqin glanced at Lu Haozhou on the dock, and replied: "The master arranged for me to be on duty in the living room that night. I don't know when I fell asleep, but I was awakened by the sound of walking in the early morning, and then I just saw a figure, which alarmed Butler Zhang."

"Excuse me, is the person you saw at the time in court?"

Zhou Xueqin pointed to Lu Haozhou and said, "That's the boy. He was the one I saw at the time, and he seemed to come from the west."

Du Zhong cast his eyes on Lu Haozhou and asked, "Excuse me, why don't you sleep well in the early morning, why are you running around at Bai's house?"

"I, I don't quite adapt to Bai Wei's house. I can't sleep all the time. I get up in the early morning to go to the bathroom."

"Go to the toilet? Since there is a toilet in the corner of the second floor, why do you go all the way to the first floor to go to the toilet? Is it because it is very close to the door of the basement?"

Lu Haozhou shook his head and said, "No, I didn't know there was a toilet on the second floor."

Luo Lan seized the opportunity and defended Lu Haozhou: "Prosecutor Du, this is the first time Lu Haozhou has visited the Bai family. It's normal for him not to know the structure of the Bai family. There is no evidence that he went downstairs to go to the basement."

"The timing is too much of a coincidence. It may not be for theft, but for his accomplices. Judge, I also have an important witness. It is he who discovered that the Heart of Sea Blue is hidden on Lu Haozhou's body."

Du Zhong's second witness was the butler of the Bai family, and he quickly walked to the witness stand.

"Zhang Wencai, please explain your identity to the presiding judge?"

"Presiding judge, all jurors, I am the housekeeper of the Bai family, and I have been working in the Bai family for more than 20 years."

"Zhang Wencai, please tell me what happened the day after the incident. How did you discover that the Heart of Sea Blue was hidden in Lu Haozhou's body?"

Steward Zhang coughed lightly twice, and replied: "Judge, after Mother Zhou woke me up that night, I didn't think much about it at the time, and I asked them to keep their voices quiet so as not to wake up the master. When everyone was having breakfast together, I was worried, so I suggested the master to take a look at the heart of sea blue. When the master was going to get the gemstone, I noticed that Lu's face suddenly became ugly. He said something was wrong at the time. I have to go back first."

Lu Haozhou immediately retorted: "I don't have an ugly face, I really have something to do, Xiaowei has no class in the morning, but I have to rush back to take professional classes."

Steward Zhang ignored Lu Haozhou's words, but continued: "At that time, I thought it was a bit strange. I also saw that Student Lu subconsciously put his right hand into his pocket."

"No, when did I put my hands in my pockets, nonsense, you are nonsense!"

Since Lu Haozhou seemed rather agitated, Judge Ji rapped the gavel heavily and warned, "Defendant, please keep quiet."

Luo Lan was suffering from no good direction, and finally found a new breakthrough this time, and asked: "Butler Zhang, you have observed carefully, why did you only target Lu Haozhou, there must have been others at that time, such as Bai Qin boyfriend Qiu Bing."

"I didn't deliberately target anyone. It's just that classmate Lu suddenly wants to leave at this time. I will inevitably pay more attention. Later, the young master insisted on sending classmate Lu. The two of them had just walked out of the gate when the master yelled that the gem was stolen. Yes, I quickly stopped the young master and classmate Lu, and then I found the heart of sea blue in classmate Lu's pocket."

At this point in the trial, it can be said that everything has been explained clearly. Du Zhong delivered a fatal blow and said: "The judge, all jurors, the matter is already obvious. Thinking that Steward Zhang has suspected him for a long time, and finally fell short, so he is one of the masterminds in this case, and he refused to confess to his accomplices, without any intention of repentance, please judge Lu Haozhou guilty of theft according to law."

If you lose, you must lose. Luo Lan can't produce any evidence to refute it, and she doesn't need to refute it. This is a strategy that has been formulated long ago.

In order to make her lose more decently, Luo Lan rearranged her thoughts, and said: "Judge, all jurors, Lu Haozhou is 23 years old this year, a high-achieving student at Haida University, with a bright future. I learned from his teachers and classmates. I learned from my mouth that he is a very honest person. I don't believe that he would participate in planning such a complicated theft, and he would be so stupid to hide the gems on himself. I firmly believe that someone framed him, but unfortunately, I have no conclusive I can’t find anyone who framed him, so I implore the presiding judge to acquit my client in the spirit of skepticism.”

Sitting in the auditorium during the day, Zong sighed softly and said, "What Luo Lan said is pretty good, but it's a pity that the court is a place to talk about evidence, and never suspecting guilt doesn't apply to this case, Xiaotian, no wonder You'll be hiding here, and you won't win this lawsuit."

"Old Bai, you have misunderstood me. This lawsuit was not what I wanted to take up. Luo Lan started it, so naturally she will finish it. If I go to fight this lawsuit that I can't win, wouldn't it be bad for me? Defeat the reputation of the Great Demon King."

"Xiaotian, unexpectedly, you really care about your reputation."

"I really don't care about my reputation, but I will never allow anyone to beat me in court, especially the prosecutor. I hate the prosecutor the most in my life."

At this moment, after talking with the jurors, Judge Ji slammed the gavel for the last time.

"The fact that Lu Haozhou stole the Heart of Sea Blue Gemstone is clear and conclusive. Although the amount was huge, it failed due to reasons other than his will. According to the criminal law of our country, this court pronounced that Lu Haozhou was convicted of attempted theft and sentenced to eight years in prison. If you are not satisfied with this judgment, you may appeal to this court within [-] days after receiving the judgment."
