Chapter 1068 Additional Defendants (3)
"In addition, you notify the additional defendant in the name of the court to appear in court temporarily. If the additional defendant cannot appear in court on time, today we will only accept the case and collect evidence. If the evidence is complete and the legal basis is clear, we can pronounce a sentence in absentia."

"OK, I see."

After hanging up the phone call with the clerk, Judge Shen took out a pen and paper, and drew out the relationship network of the whole case - quite obviously, there must be instigation behind the scenes; the key to whether the verdict can be pronounced on the spot today depends on the first defendant testimony.

Twenty minutes later, the court handled the additional defendant with a simple procedure and notified the procedure of the court session. After Gu Donglin received the call, he immediately called the lawyer, but no one answered.

And in the courtroom, everyone also heard the sharp ringing of the defendant's lawyer's phone, which echoed in the extremely high courtroom, which was particularly abrupt and did not make people feel flustered.

"Judge Shen, the procedures for prosecuting documents have been completed; the second defendant has notified him, but only said he knew about it, but he has not confirmed whether he will appear in court. May I ask whether the court session will be held now." After seeing the judge coming in and sorting out the evidence in hand, the clerk left asked in the past.

"En." Judge Shen nodded, looked at the defendant's lawyer and said, "Defendant's lawyer, the plaintiff continues to pursue the second defendant. Are you willing to defend the second defendant? If yes, please confirm whether the second defendant is in court; If not, we proceed to confirm the first defendant's testimony."

"I just saw who the second defendant added by the plaintiff is. Mr. Gu Donglin is also a client I have served, but I need to call him to confirm." No matter how much the other party knows, the defendant's lawyer still uses two No gesture of connection to the case has emerged.

"Okay, then we'll start the court session in 10 minutes." The judge nodded to the clerk.

Everyone lowered their heads to look at the case files in their hands, while the defendant's lawyer went to the court door and called Gu Donglin: "Hello, Mr. Gu."

"I'm in court for an additive overdose case, and the plaintiff sues you as the second defendant in court because it suspects you to be related to the matter."

"Are you willing to entrust me to be your defense lawyer? I am very clear about the process of this case and have cooperated with you, so I think I am a suitable defense lawyer."

"Okay, there are still 10 minutes for the court session. I hope you can rush to the courtroom as soon as possible. If you are absent, it will affect the judge's impression of you, and it will be disadvantageous in the tendency of the trial."

"Okay, I ask the judge to give me another 10 minutes."

The defendant's lawyer returned to the court, explained the situation to the judge, and returned to the defendant's defense seat after obtaining the judge's permission.

The judge then handed over all the evidence supplemented by lawyer Fang to the clerk to make a photocopy, and then handed it to the defendant's lawyer: "Check with your client to see if there is any doubt about the evidence provided by the plaintiff."

"Thank you, judge." The defendant's lawyer took the evidence and flipped through it page by page, keeping his expression on his face—all the evidence can only show that Wang Rennan was ordered by someone, but it cannot explain that the person who ordered it was Gu Donglin .

"Take a look too. You haven't told me about this before. You can choose to tell me before the second trial." The defendant's lawyer handed the documents in his hand to Wang Rennan, who had always had an ugly face, and said sharply. .

Wang Rennan took the information and flipped through it page by page, and finally his eyes stayed on the photo of his wife buying a bag, and he didn't turn away for a long time.

20 minutes later, Gu Donglin hurried to the courtroom—a brown striped shirt and black trousers, walking in a hurry, clearly showing the temperament of a high-quality businessman.

Stepping into the gate of the court, Gu Donglin took a cold look at Gu Zixi and Xu Nuo in the auditorium, and walked towards the defendant's lawyer with a livid face.

After the two exchanged a look, Gu Donglin and Wang Rennan stood on the dock together.

"Report to the judge that both the plaintiff and the defendant and the prosecution defendant have appeared in court, and the trial can begin."

"Thank you, clerk, all sit down."

With the sound of the judge's hammer, the formal court proceedings began.

"The first trial of this case has made a judgment on the case of Wang Rennan's intentional overdose of fluorescent agent; now due to the emergence of new evidence, the plaintiff has added Gu Donglin (ID number XXXXXXX) as the second defendant."

"Lawyer for the plaintiff, please make a statement in court about the reasons and evidence for adding Gu Donglin as the second defendant." Judge Shen handed the prosecution document to the clerk and signaled him to hand it over to Gu Donglin.At the same time, he motioned to Attorney Fang to make an opening statement.

"Okay, thank you judge." Lawyer Fang stood up and bowed slightly to the judge, looking at Gu Donglin and the defendant's lawyer.

"First of all, we believe that Wang Rennan does not have the ability to repay the judgment amount of 873 million yuan, but the other party's lawyer told us that he is willing to repay the full amount, so we have reason to believe that there is another person who repays the loan."

"Secondly, the defendant Wang Rennan has the facts and capacity to commit a crime, and committed the crime intentionally, but has no motive for the crime; however, three days before the crime occurred, his account received an abnormal remittance of 10 yuan; we have reasons I think he took the risk for the 10 yuan."

"Thirdly, during the period when the defendant Wang Rennan was in police custody, her wife went to the shopping malls to buy items of luxury brands, which was quite different from their usual income and consumption habits; we have reason to infer that someone paid for these consumption expenses."

"Based on the coincidence of the above three items happening at the same time, we have reason to make the inference: Someone spent money to instigate Wang Rennan to commit crimes against Gu's;"

When Attorney Fang said this, his tone paused for a moment, and he quickly walked in front of Wang Rennan, staring straight into his eyes, making him unavoidable.

"I, I, I..." Wang Rennan shrank his body back subconsciously, and looked at Gu Donglin unconsciously.

Lawyer Fang looked into his eyes and smiled lightly: "Why is this instigator the second defendant we are prosecuting, Gu Donglin?"

Lawyer Fang stared straight at Wang Rennan and paused.

"Just because I talked to him on the phone?" Wang Rennan said in a nasty voice.

"I object, against the defendant's lawyer inducing my client to give inappropriate answers." The defendant's lawyer protested loudly.

"The objection is invalid, the plaintiff's lawyer continues." The judge said coldly.
