Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 167 - 143: Xu Liang: I’m About to Start Spreading Rumors! [Mega 4,000-Word - !]
The plaintiff suspects... the opposing party of fabricating evidence!?
Instantly.
Everyone on the judging panel simultaneously narrowed their pupils.
Including Zhao Yi, the other judges instantly turned serious, exchanging glances.
Fabricating evidence... this is not a trivial matter!
This could lead to criminal charges and imprisonment!
They all felt this gravity.
Not to mention, those seated below the bench.
Du Ze on the defendant's seat felt a jolt in his heart and instinctively bowed his head.
Duan Feipeng, on the other hand, looked at Xu Liang with a sullen face and gloomy eyes.
In the hearing section, Duan Feipeng's relative, Duan Jianhao, and his wife Zhang Li, frowned as they looked at Xu Liang.
The reporters in the back row instantly went into an uproar!
"Fabricating evidence!?"
"What does it mean? Was all the evidence provided by the opposing party fake!?"
"If they are all fake, does it mean there's a real possibility that Duan Feipeng is the murderer? Otherwise, why would the opposing party fabricate evidence!"
"Oh no, I feel it's getting more complicated..."
"..."
The courtroom, which was finally calm, was ignited by Xu Liang's statement!
The order on the scene became incredibly chaotic.
At the judging panel.
"Order, order!"
"Bang! Bang!!"
Zhao Yi knocked the gavel several times in a row, sternly maintaining order on the scene, and finally, it returned to peace.
Yet the fire in everyone's eyes couldn't be extinguished. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
They all stared at Xu Liang.
"Judge, based on the evidence submitted by the defendant."
"The opposing party's alibi evidence seems to have a strong suspicion of being pieced together."
Xu Liang slowly spoke.
"First, during the video, there are multiple angle transitions without continuity, making it unable to prove the video marks the same day."
"Moreover, when the driver drove the car into the garage, Duan Feipeng did not get out of the car, failing to prove the defendant was indeed in the car at that time!"
These words fell.
Everyone started to think over.
Indeed, although these things cannot prove the clues are false, they do cast some doubt on their authenticity.
The most crucial thing is...
Xu Liang suddenly focused his gaze, turning to look at the witness stand.
"Honorable judge, I have a few questions for the defendant."
Zhao Yi came back to his senses, nodded, "Permission granted."
After speaking, Xu Liang instantly looked at Zhang Guo on the witness stand.
Zhang Guo instantly felt a sense of guilt, but was unsure where it originated from, just about to inquire, the voice echoed beside his ear.
"Witness, I'd like to ask you."
"Where were you at 5:10 PM on December 7th!?"
Xu Liang's gaze was like a sharp sword, staring straight at the other.
Zhang Guo, braced with courage, stuttered:
"At...at the construction site?"
"May I ask, were you at the construction site!?" Xu Liang pursued again.
Zhang Guo seemed uncertain, after pondering for a moment, he shook his head.
"Not sure."
Xu Liang nodded, not angered by the uncertain answer given.
Those around found this scene puzzling.
"Witness, may I ask, where were you at 5:10 PM on December 8th!?"
"I..." Zhang Guo was at a loss for words.
"Let me ask, where were you at 5 PM on the 9th, 10th, and 12th!?"
"I... I don't know..." Zhang Guo's momentum instantly weakened.
As these words came out.
Everyone suddenly became suspicious.
He couldn't remember a single day from the 10th or 12th.
Yet remembered the afternoon of the 6th clearly!?
Xu Liang remained composed.
He continued speaking:
"Witness, if you're unsure, I can offer you some hints."
"The incident happened on the 6th, the death. On the 7th, the police caught the murderer at school, so the school should have measures to take..."
Zhang Guo's breathing grew rapid, losing composure on his face, his eyes filled with anxiety, struggling to focus amidst the chaos his mind was in.
As Xu Liang spoke, he subconsciously followed to think.
After a long while.
Zhang Guo hesitated before saying, "Should halt classes and let students out of school?"
"So, that afternoon of the 7th..." Xu Liang continued.
"At 5 PM, I went to pick up my child to go home!"
Zhang Guo's eyes suddenly lit up.
"At that time, the child and other parents were talking to me..."
A rush of memory surged in his mind.
Hearing this, Xu Liang showed a smile, and the two smiled at each other.
But Xu Liang's subsequent words froze Zhang Guo's smile.
"On December 7th, after Wu Yong was captured at noon, the school immediately notified parents to pick up their children to leave!"
"Boarding students were sent to dormitories urgently, and other students gradually went home within a few hours."
Xu Liang's gaze was solemn, staring directly at Director Zhou.
"The school... didn't start dismissal at five in the afternoon!"
Not at five...
Instantly.
Zhang Guo's smile froze, the false memories in his mind vanished, replaced by the true memories from that evening of the 7th.
Xu Liang withdrew his gaze.
He looked at Zhao Yi, speaking softly:
"Honorable judge, the witness's memory capabilities are weak."
"Even the crucial 7th, when significant events occurred, the witness can't recall; may I ask."
"Why, thirty days later, can the witness remember the random afternoon on the 6th so clearly?"
"So precisely!"
Human memory and imagination often conflict."
For example.
Sometimes, do you inexplicably feel like an event has happened before when you're doing something, experiencing a mysterious familiarity?
Furthermore, with increasing information, you even feel your surroundings becoming more familiar, as if you've truly experienced it!
Why is this?
The reason lies in the intertwining of imagination and memory within the mind!
The difference between them lies only in the evidence of reality.
And without evidence?
Suppose you conceive your actions of a day, and a real day, recording both, placing them before you decades later without evidence.
