Who Made Him a Lawyer?-Chapter 176 - 147: Court in Session Again! The Numb Zhao Yi!

Chapter 176: Chapter 147: Court in Session Again! The Numb Zhao Yi!

This investigation, once started, can’t be stopped.

"I found the first pregnancy check report, and it has Duan Jianhao’s signature on it!"

"We just need to verify the handwriting to confirm if it’s the same person!" Liu Jin spoke up again.

A person’s handwriting is like their fingerprint. Once verified by a professional agency, it can completely serve as proof like a fingerprint.

Duan Jianhao’s signature proves Zhang Li was indeed pregnant in ’85!

She couldn’t have been pregnant with two-thirds of a Nezha and then given birth in ’87!

Even if so, what was born would not be alive.

But a mummified fetal corpse!

"There’s also the discharge date..."

"I found the hospitalization records here..."

"Whoa, and it was a VIP room, really wealthy!"

"..."

The four of them tirelessly investigated from ten in the morning until five in the afternoon.

Even after the doctors had gotten off work.

The four continued their investigation.

Until seven in the evening.

Only after Xu Liang organized a very rigorous set of medical evidence...

The four finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now things were much easier.

This set of medical logical evidence, as long as the court conducts an examination with Duan Feipeng... it can definitely become irrefutable proof!

And what needs to be done next...

"All that’s left is to verify the social evidence."

Social evidence, if you don’t understand it...

You can understand it as the June 1st, 1987 newspaper that Yang Ruoxi found at the press!

That’s social evidence.

Not being pregnant on June 1st but having given birth by July 12th, that’s social evidence!

Although such evidence is hard to find, but...

"Director Zhou has been stalled by the court."

"We have more than enough time to investigate!"

...

...

January 5th.

The court issued a notice of trial.

The date is set for January 24th.

...

January 6th.

Director Zhou prepared self-destructive evidence against Xu Liang.

He tried every possible way to create a situation where he could be alone with Xu Liang and be ’inadvertently’ photographed.

But unfortunately.

For several consecutive days, he shockingly found that Xu Liang didn’t even return to the law firm, having no idea where he went.

A faint sense of unease appeared in Director Zhou’s heart.

...

January 10th.

The court still hadn’t found any flaws in the evidence.

Director Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that his caution had once again helped him avert a crisis.

But at the same time, he couldn’t help but feel worried about Xu Liang once again.

He didn’t dare to send anyone to conduct surveillance, so he could only stake out in front of the law firm.

But just like a few days before, the other party still wasn’t at the law firm...

An attorney who moves around frequently...

Director Zhou became nervous internally.

...

January 14th.

Through Xu Liang’s investigation, they finally discovered the hotel that hosted Duan Feipeng’s full moon banquet.

He went to negotiate, but unfortunately, the hotel staff were just too inflexible and refused to give any opportunity.

Meanwhile, Xu Liang pondered whether to use money to bribe someone.

...

January 15th.

Xu Liang once again used the guise of power to enlist the police for a search.

The hotel manager was utterly terrified.

He initially thought they were there to investigate money, but fortunately, Xu Liang was only looking to investigate a customer’s addendum regarding the ledger.

The manager immediately cooperated.

Xu Liang couldn’t help but be impressed.

As Zhou Luren said it well.

When you want to open a window and others disagree, you fling open the roof; at that point, others will agree for you to open the window.

The hotel wouldn’t agree to your client privacy investigation.

But when you want to check the ledger, they would agree to you investigating client privacy.

...

January 17th.

Xu Liang went to School No. 18, and Director Zhou immediately found his information.

But fortunately.

Xu Liang didn’t investigate the authenticity of his evidence; instead, he began asking classmates about their impressions of Duan Feipeng.

Most people didn’t dare say he was arrogant.

No one mentioned what he did on the 6th either.

They only objectively commented that he looked older.

Director Zhou let out a sigh of relief.

...

January 19th.

After nearly twenty days of investigation, the court staff still hadn’t found any loopholes in the alibi evidence presented by the defendant.

They gradually returned to the court to begin responding to the case.

As time went on...

They refocused their attention on the courtroom that would start the trial soon!

...

...

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it comes to...

January 24th!

The first trial, second hearing on the same day!

A layer of fine snow floated in the sky, turning the entire Hanhai City into a winter wonderland, the air as sharp as ice pokers, piercing cold into everyone’s bones.

Everyone donned thick layers of warm clothing.

But even so...

The attention to the ’Jinjiang Hotel Body Fall Case’ didn’t diminish but rather increased!

Far more reporters poured into the court than last time.

Inside the waiting room.

"Sigh, there’s going to be a lot to deal with now."

"I should have known better and pushed the hearing to early February, at least we could have celebrated the New Year first!"

"Heh, early February... wouldn’t it be uncomfortable to spend the New Year knowing you have a court hearing in a few days?"

"Alright, as it stands, let’s rule on the case according to the law."

"It’s hard to judge..."

"The panel has already discussed it, let’s just follow what the panel decided, it’s just some criticism..."

"Heh, it’s more than just a bit."

Inside the judges’ waiting room.

All judges, including Zhao Yi, were gathered together.

Listening to the voices of fellow judges by his side, Zhao Yi sighed.

In the past month, they hadn’t found any flaw in the evidence provided by the defendant, which is Director Zhou.

According to the law...

If the plaintiff cannot produce any evidence...

Then they can only adjourn, and if the other side still cannot produce any, then continue the trial normally and declare Duan Feipeng not guilty.

It’s easy to imagine that such a declaration will surely bring criticism.

And it’s not just a little criticism!

It’s estimated that during the New Year, when families discuss the case, the first to be criticized would be Zhao Yi.

He felt that 2004 was a year of bad luck, gradually pushing him into the chief judge’s position...

But at least the case was judged reasonably and concluded.

If there were really any issues, the provincial court, which is the High Court, would handle the appeal.

Upon thinking of this, everyone withdrew their thoughts and looked at the time on the wall.

"Alright, it’s time."

Zhao Yi stood up, took a deep breath, and led everyone towards the courtroom.

"Hold the trial, and then go home for the New Year!"

Upon hearing the words New Year.

The others also stood up, following Zhao Yi down the corridor.

"Da da... da da da..."

The dense footsteps of the group echoed in the corridor.

No one spoke.

In other words, everyone was heavy-hearted.

Until Zhao Yi suddenly stopped in front of the courtroom...

A few court police opened the doors.

"Wow~!"

Instantly, a crowd appeared in the outermost layer of the courtroom.

With just a glance, it was clear that the number of people concerned this time certainly exceeded the last!

Zhao Yi took a deep breath.

He walked up the steps to the judge’s bench with heavy steps.

After surveying the surroundings.

He leaned slightly forward, near the microphone, and said in a deep voice:

"The trial is about to begin."

"Will the plaintiff and defendant please enter the court!"

Upon hearing this.

The press gallery began to stir, cameras pointing at the doors on either side.

Soon enough.

The two doors were opened.

Xu Liang and Director Zhou entered stride by stride from left to right.

At first sight, the two exchanged glances.

Director Zhou’s expression was somber, he had already decided that if this trial couldn’t win... he would directly pull the other party out of the court!

Anyway, only Xu Liang in Hanhai City dared to handle this case as the plaintiff.

And as for Duan Feipeng, as long as he changes to another lawyer and takes over his evidence, winning the case is only a matter of time!

"Heh."

Xu Liang smiled and then took a seat at the plaintiff’s bench.

Seeing both parties seated.

Zhao Yi checked his watch and spoke:

"The trial continues now."

"This case was first heard on January 2, 2005, and was adjourned due to the need to verify evidence; the trial now resumes."

"In the last trial, both parties vehemently debated the defendant’s collusion and fabrication of false evidence."

After speaking, Zhao Yi turned to the plaintiff, which is Xu Liang, and said in a deep voice:

"Following verification by judicial authorities and the court, the defendant’s evidence has been confirmed."

"I now declare the trial open!"

Conducting verification.

That is to say, Director Zhou’s evidence is valid!

Zhao Yi didn’t give the others time to think, he spoke:

"Mr. Plaintiff, may I ask, after the adjournment, do you have any new evidence to submit?"

Xu Liang’s eyes lit up.

New evidence?

He wouldn’t be polite about this!

Just as Zhao Yi was conducting routine inquiries.

Xu Liang suddenly spoke loudly.

His voice reached everyone’s ears, even those who were drowsy couldn’t help but be stunned.

"Honorable Judge, esteemed members of the press, I wish to make a report!"

"The evidence from the defendant is fabricated and false; the defendant’s lawyer is suspected of fabricating and forging evidence!!"

Zhao Yi: ?

Reporter: ?

Zhao Yi was stunned.

No... Seriously, again!?

"Next, I will reveal the truth of the case that only I have investigated!"
