This took the police officer in the room by surprise. Xu Weilai turned herself in and confessed to all the stated crimes. This meant that she had no means to escape from the law and prosecution. Thus, it surprised them that a lawyer came to her defense when she had no means to defend herself.

He looked at Xu Weilai to seek confirmation, “Miss Xu, did you hire this lawyer?”

Xu Weilai’s expression was unreadable. Her fingertips lightly tapped on the table for a few times as her lips moved slightly, “Yes, let him in.”

Although the police officer could not understand Xu Weilai’s motive and behaviour, she indeed had the right to hire a lawyer. He nodded at the officer that came to convey the message. “Let him in.”

Soon, a man dressed in a suit and leather shoes walked in. He looked professional, wearing a gold-rimmed spectacle and his hair combed upwards. He nodded politely at Xu Weilai before he handed her his business card and introduced himself, “Miss Xu, I’m Zhou, your attorney. I’m entrusted to help you.”

Xu Weilai took the business card and glanced through it.

She did not know a lawyer with surname Zhou in her social network. But she got to know of his fame as one of the top lawyer the legal profession.

“Hello.”

Xu Weilai reached out and shook his hand as a greeting.

Zhou sat next to Xu Weilai. He adjusted his spectacle and showed a serious expression, “Miss Xu, I’ll answer all the questions from now on. You don’t have to say anything. You can just sit in silence.”

Xu Weilai blinked and cooperated. “Okay.”

The police officer rubbed his temple when he saw this.

Lawyers and attorney topped their list of annoying people to meet when they were conducting investigations. Their answers were flawless and they could bring you on a wild goose chase. Even if they apparently answered your questions, you could pry nothing from them.

Still, they need to get the job done.

The police officer let out a few hearty coughs, straightened his face and began the questioning.

“Miss Xu turned herself in and admitted to killing Gu Yu. She stabbed Gu Yu’s heart with a dagger and caused his death. Now that we have the video of the crime scene, we can clearly see that what she said is true. Miss Xu, do you plead guilty?”

Zhou gave them a faint smile and said, “On behalf of my client, I plead not guilty.”

The police officer was dumbfounded at his answer.

Zhou listed down his points, “One, please give me an analysis of this video whether its real or fabricated and whether there was any editing done to this video. Two, I have with me a mental state assessment report of the trauma my client suffered after her divorce with Mr. Gu Yu, which proved her instable mental state after the divorce. She might say or do something that does not conform to the truth. I believe this might cause her turning herself in and made her confession. Third, before Mr. Gu Yu’s body is found, I doubted whether he was really dead. Based on these three points, my client should not be convicted with no further evidence to support the conviction.”

He then took out a psychiatric report from his black briefcase and handed it to the police.

The police officer reached his breaking point when he went through the report submitted by Zhou.

Zhou adjusted his glasses again. “I would like to apply for bail on behalf of my client if there’s no further issue.”
