Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 168 - 143: Xu Liang: I’m About to Start Spreading Rumors! [4,000-Word Super - !]

Can you distinguish which one is the memory?

"I can't tell!"

"Because memory also relies on imagination. Without the support of evidence, so-called memory is just a pile of fantasy!"

Xu Liang suddenly spoke, furrowing his brow as he looked at the witness.

"Witness Zhang Guo, may I ask, when did the defendant contact you?"

Zhang Guo hesitated, even he couldn't remember this clearly.

After thinking for a while, he gave a vague answer.

"It should be... ten days ago?"

"Ten days ago, that would be the 22nd, 18 days after the incident on the 6th!"

Xu Liang nodded and asked again.

"Then, may I ask, when the defendant approached you, did they use a video to guide you to recall the scene on the 6th?"

After speaking,

He turned to look at Judge Zhao Yi.

"Judge, it's quite obvious now."

"The opposing lawyer is clearly guiding the witness, using fabricated memories to act as a witness!"

Upon hearing this,

Zhao Yi rubbed his temples.

Got it.

The credibility of the witness is also beginning to diminish...

After a long pause, he turned to Director Zhou.

"Defendant's side, what do you have to say about the plaintiff's statement?"

Upon hearing this.

Director Zhou, with a calm demeanor, stood up and said:

"Honorable Judge."

"Based on what was just said, the real taboo, the one guiding the witness... is the other side!"

Director Zhou stared straight at Xu Liang.

"The other side is attempting to guide the witness to doubt themselves, thereby reducing the evidence's true validity!"

"I propose that they be removed from the courtroom as a sanction!"

"And, following their intentions..."

Director Zhou paused, then blurted out:

"The so-called false illusion is determined without evidence!"

"And my side, just now, has already presented evidence!!!"

Exactly.

If the illusion is false, it needs corroboration to be verified.

What Director Zhou did earlier... has already verified Zhang Guo's recollection of the 6th!!!

Speaking of which.

Director Zhou's eyes turned fierce, staring at Xu Liang and said:

"Judge, the plaintiff is currently slandering my character while trying to disrupt this trial."

"I propose that the opposing side be immediately expelled from the courtroom!"

"Heh, Lawyer Zhou, no need to be so anxious."

Xu Liang chuckled, looking unpressured at all.

However.....

As he laughed, his expression suddenly changed, and he shifted his tone.

"Judge, distinguished members of the hearing panel, and journalists."

"The reason I question the other side is because..."

Speaking of which.

Xu Liang's gaze turned cold.

Since the other side dares to present false testimony, use sophistry to manipulate the trial, and even induce a witness, then he... would not be constrained by the rules!

With that, Xu Liang took a square card out of his briefcase.

Is it.....

A bank card!?

In an instant.

Everyone's pupils shrank in the courtroom.

Defendant's Director Zhou was slightly stunned.

Then a sense of unease arose in his heart, and sure enough...

As Xu Liang raised the bank card, deafening voices echoed in everyone's ears.

"On December 13th, the same day Lawyer Zhou took the detainee Duan Feipeng from the criminal police unit."

"Lawyer Zhou privately came to Hongfu Street and attempted to bribe me at my law firm!"

"At that time, Lawyer Zhou said he wanted to conspire with me to exonerate Duan Feipeng!!!"

Xu Liang's expression was stern as he fixed his eyes on Director Zhou.

Conspire?

Exonerate!?

Director Zhou's face was incredibly grim.

When did he ever say such things to the other party?

This bastard... is slandering him!

Director Zhou's hands involuntarily clenched, his fingers digging deep into his flesh, his expression terrifyingly dark.

Xu Liang ignored his predatory gaze.

He stood up, holding the bank card high before everyone's shocked eyes.

"The opposing lawyer said that if I could help exonerate Duan Feipeng, he could offer me a contract worth at least three million afterward!"

"Three million, how many people can earn three million?"

"The opposing side tempted me with great benefits. Although I refused, Lawyer Zhou's character has been deeply imprinted in my mind ever since!"

Xu Liang stared directly into the angry eyes of Director Zhou.

"In addition to what was said earlier, I have ample reasons to suspect..."

"The opposing side is suspected of fabricating evidence!"

The words fell into the ears of everyone, like two atomic bombs, creating waves far higher than any previous tumult!

"Bribery!? This is blatant bribery!!!"

"Before the trial, the opposing lawyer gave money? Over three million... over three million!"

"This is buying a life... If that's the case, the non-presence evidence provided by Director Zhou must have issues! If Duan Feipeng truly wasn't present, why would he need to bribe!?"

"I'm feeling a bit dizzy... the trial just started, and the tension is already so thick..."

"Never mind the tension, if Director Zhou truly bribed the other side and fabricated evidence... this calls for criminal responsibility!"

"..."

In just a few seconds, the courtroom scene turned into a marketplace.

Everyone was in an uproar.

No wonder.

The impact of that card was just too immense!

Never mind a high-profile criminal case like the 'Jinjiang Hotel Falling Body Case'.

Even a civil case, with pre-trial bribery of the opposing lawyer, would stun everyone!

The reaction from the judges was not much better.

Zhao Yi looked around at both sides, feeling increasingly headache.

Indeed, this case wasn't easy to handle!

In Upper City, Wu Chengjun, watching the live broadcast, couldn't help but widen his eyes, push up his glasses, and sit up to listen carefully.

As for the parties involved...

"Bang!"

Director Zhou's face was extremely grim as he slammed his hand on the table, his voice merging into the chaotic scene.

He glanced around.

Even the bailiffs responsible for maintaining order couldn't resist starting to whisper.

Finally, he fixed his predatory eyes on Xu Liang.

Director Zhou felt as if he'd eaten a pile of shit, utterly uncomfortable.

He did fabricate evidence; Director Zhou admitted that.

But how does the other side dare stand on the moral high ground and curse him!?

When did he ever mention giving a three million incentive!?

Even if that was his intention, never once did he utter a word about the case!

He fabricated evidence, but the other side...

Is spreading rumors!

"Judge, I request that the other party leave the courtroom for trial!"

Xu Liang eagerly watched Zhao Yi.

"Meanwhile, conduct a detailed inspection of the evidence submitted by the opposing side!"

He was not prepared to reveal the surveillance video now.

Why?

Because... Whether there is evidence that Duan Feipeng committed murder isn't the most important thing right now.

What's important is that a conviction is impossible!

Even if he presented murder evidence, it wouldn't prove Director Zhou fabricated false evidence, only intensify the suspicion on the other side indefinitely.

Even if he truly got inside, so what?

It's useless.

Unless... he could find another piece of evidence directly incriminating Duan Feipeng!

"Slander, this is blatant slander!"

"I must sue the opposing lawyer!"

"He's spreading rumors and defamation; I never engaged in bribery with the opposing party!"

Director Zhou stood up immediately, so anxious he ignored legal procedures.

"Heh, this is all the information about this card, all showing connections with the Duan Group, with fifty thousand in illicit funds!"

Xu Liang remained unmoved, as if stating facts.

Then he paused a moment, further adding.

"Moreover, Judge."

"The surveillance around the law firm can prove Lawyer Zhou came to my firm on the 13th."

"Please discern for yourself."

In the judges' bench.

"What's going on..."

"Not sure... doesn't exactly look like bribery but has the tendency..."

"How should we rule?"

"Judge Zhao, say something."

The judges were also frantic, whispering back and forth.

Zhao Yi looked at the information submitted by Xu Liang and this bank card.

He massaged his temples for a long while.

Finally, he took a deep breath, looked at Director Zhou, and inquired sternly:

"Defendant's side."

"Please explain what the plaintiff has said!"
