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

Chapter 85 Appeals, Appeals

A week later, on September 9, it was sunny and cloudless.

Gu Shengtian and Luo Lan finally waited for the second trial.

Lu Botao pinned all his hopes on the two of them, he held Gu Shengtian's hand tightly and said: "Lawyer Gu, please, my son is really innocent."

Gu Shengtian yawned a lot, patted Lu Botao on the shoulder and said, "Uncle Lu, since I'm going out personally, you can rest assured. The only thing you have to worry about now is how you plan to pay my lawyer." fee."

Lu Botao didn't have a lot of money and owed a lot of debts, but he also knew that he needed money to sue Gu Shengtian, and he needed a lot of money, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Lawyer Gu, I will Sell ​​all the assets, and you will not be owed your lawyer's fees."

Luo Lan frowned, and gently pushed Gu Shengtian and said, "Lawyer Gu, you also understand the situation of Uncle Lu's family, and you promised me not to charge him."

Gu Shengtian sized Luo Lan up and down, and suddenly the corner of his mouth twitched, revealing an evil smile, and replied: "Yes, I don't need money, I suddenly thought of an interesting idea, Uncle Lu, after the lawsuit is over, I and You talk slowly."

Hearing that Gu Shengtian didn't want money, Lu Botao was so excited that he almost kowtowed to thank him.

Seeing Gu Shengtian's smile, Luo Lan suddenly felt a little hairy in her heart. She could feel that Gu Shengtian must have come up with some new idea to torment her.

In the last week of waiting to go to court, she played games with Gu Shengtian day and night. She has gone from a bronze rookie to a silver veteran, and now she feels sick whenever she sees the game screen.

Due to time constraints, Gu Shengtian did not continue to delay, but took the position of the defendant's defender with Luo Lan. This time the second trial is the final trial. If he loses the case again, the chance of Lu Haozhou speaking out is very slim.

Luo Lan looked at the prosecutor Du Zhong who was sitting opposite, and said in a low voice: "Lawyer Gu, are you sure? The second trial is not a joke. If you lose, you will have no chance."

"Hmph, if I was going to lose, I wouldn't be sitting here, but continue to watch you play house with that rookie opposite, that's all right, I'll take whatever I tell you later, and say whatever I want you to say." , do your assistant job well."

Although Gu Shengtian's attitude was a bit arrogant, Luo Lan still admired him a lot. She wanted to know what kind of magic weapon Gu Shengtian had that could turn things around without a lot of evidence.

Lu Haozhou had been imprisoned for quite a while, and he was much more haggard than the last time we met, but when he saw that it was Gu Shengtian who defended him this time, his eyes lit up immediately.

He vaguely felt that there seemed to be hope for a comeback.

The presiding judge is still Judge Ji. She has a relatively good understanding of the case and can save a lot of unnecessary procedures.

After a brief opening, Judge Ji knocked on the gavel and said, "Defendant's defender, you can start now."

Gu Shengtian is not Luo Lan. He changed his serious face in court, and his whole demeanor is different. Luo Lan can't tell the difference, but feels that Gu Shengtian at this moment is the one who really fights. The invincible Great Demon King.

"Judge, please allow me to summon the first witness, the owner of Sea Blue Heart, Mr. Bai Zecheng, to testify in court."

Bai Zecheng quickly took the witness seat. He originally didn't intend to appear in court, but he couldn't stand Gu Shengtian's indiscriminate bombardment, so he had to take this position.

Gu Shengtian smiled slightly, and immediately said in a deep voice: "Bai Zecheng, I would like to ask, after the incident, where did you receive the gemstone of the Heart of Sea Blue?"

"I took it to the bank safe."

"Did you find anything wrong at that time, such as the luster of the gemstones?"

Bai Zecheng shook his head and said: "No, I also went to the bank to check the gemstones in a few days, and I accidentally fell on the ground and found out that the Seablue Heart gemstones I collected in the bank are fake."

Gu Shengtian didn't want to give Du Zhong any chance to attack him, and deliberately asked Bai Zecheng not to mention him. Although there was a slight deviation from the facts, there was nothing suspicious about it.

Gu Shengtian quickly pointed to Lu Haozhou and said, "Bai Zecheng, may I ask, is the fake gem you kept in the bank the one found in the defendant's pocket?"

"Yes, it's that jewel, and no one else has touched it."

Gu Shengtian was very satisfied with Bai Zecheng's answer, and said sharply: "Judge, all jurors, it is obvious that the defendant Lu Haozhou has a fake gemstone in his pocket, which cannot constitute the crime of theft at all."

Gu Shengtian's words caused quite a commotion in the courtroom. No one thought that what Lu Haozhou took was a fake gem.

Du Zhong quickly counterattacked: "Judge, even if the gemstone in Lu Haozhou's pocket is fake, but this will not change the fact that the real gem of the Heart of Sea Blue was stolen, and he is one of the accomplices, please allow My witnesses are in court to testify."

Luo Lan asked in a low voice: "Lawyer Gu, who did Prosecutor Du find to testify? Will there be any changes?"

Lawyer Gu snorted disdainfully, and said in a low voice, "Who else can it be except Zhang Wencai? He is now a prisoner, and he is the most powerful witness for the prosecution. But in turn, he is also a weapon for our Jedi to fight back. .”

Gu Shengtian guessed correctly, and soon the bailiff took Zhang Wencai to court. Since he surrendered himself, he has become a suspect waiting for trial.

Du Zhong sternly said: "Zhang Wencai, please tell the presiding judge and jurors the truth about how you and Lu Haozhou cooperated to steal Hailan's Heart."

Zhang Wencai was visibly haggard a lot, he no longer looked like a good housekeeper, his head drooped, and he didn't dare to look at the people around him.

"Presiding judge, I, I and Lu Haozhou have negotiated to steal the master's heart of sea blue together. After the matter is completed, five or five points."

This is Zhang Wencai's confession, the content is empty, but because he has already admitted the crime, his words will become a powerful weapon for the prosecution.

Hearing Zhang Wencai's words, Lu Haozhou shouted: "Lie, he's lying, I don't know him at all."

Judge Ji knocked on the gavel, signaling Lu Haozhou to keep quiet, and continued to ask: "Defendant's defender, do you have any new evidence to prove that the defendant did not participate in the theft."

Luo Lan was a little nervous, and whispered: "Lawyer Gu, what should we do, we have no way to refute him at all."

Gu Shengtian gently pressed Luo Lan's hand, and then said sharply: "Judge, all jurors, since Zhang Wencai keeps saying that he and the defendant are partners, please allow me to ask him a few questions."

Judge Ji nodded in agreement, Gu Shengtian tapped on the table lightly, and asked: "Zhang Wencai, since you said you and Lu Haozhou are accomplices, then my first question, why did you conspire with him, Lu Haozhou Zhou may be for his father's factory that is about to close down, but what about you, what is your purpose."
