Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Chapter 95 Addiction to Surprise Attacks

I brought the defendant Liu Jingqi's biological mother to the courtroom...

The application was made to summon witnesses for cross-examination in court regarding Liu Jingqi's background. These words were spoken the instant they were uttered.

The entire Second Court.

Suddenly, an eerie silence fell. Everyone froze in place, their expressions blank, staring at Xu De, their minds completely empty.

The other party's words were like a hundred-pound hammer being snatched up and slammed down on their heads, making everyone see stars.

What does "biological mother" mean?

What do you mean, you're demanding that the biological mother of a missing orphan be summoned to participate in the court hearing and cross-examination?!

Very strange.

The logic of this statement is clear and straightforward, but when it appears in their minds, their brain nerves keep getting tangled up.

dock.

Zhang Wei and Sun Bing were also stunned. They turned their heads and looked at each other, speechless.

Both of them were somewhat surprised and doubtful, wondering if they had just imagined it.

The judge's bench.

It took Zhang Bingxin a while to realize what was happening.

He opened his mouth, hesitated, and after a moment, finally spoke: "Agent, you mean..."

"6

"You've found her, the orphan who's been missing for twelve years... who is also the defendant Liu Jingqi's biological mother?"

"Then."

"So, are you now requesting that the other party appear in court for cross-examination?"

Xu De frowned and nodded.

"Yes."

Wasn't what he said clear enough? Even a normal person could understand it.

Zhang Bingxin fell silent, and the other two judges also fell silent.

moment.

Judge Lu Guowei took a deep breath, roused himself, and asked, "Where is the witness now?"

Xu De responded, "The witness is now in the waiting room at the Intermediate People's Court of Lusen City, awaiting trial."

The words were spoken.

Without hesitation, Judge Zhang Bingxin struck the gavel.

"Bang!"

Zhang Bingxin thought to himself, "Summon the witnesses to the court!"

Witnesses, like ordinary evidence, are generally required to present their evidence within the evidentiary period.

However, in reality, because people are an uncertain factor, they can attend even without providing evidence.

Even in the future, when the Internet is developed, it will be possible to make a phone call, but it will need to be a two-way audio-visual call.

Soon.

"Squeak~"

The heavy doors to the second courtroom were pushed open.

Two bailiffs led a woman into the courtroom.

After this woman appeared, the eyes of dozens of people in the second courtroom were all drawn to her, their gazes scrutinizing her from head to toe.

The first impression you give them.

The woman was thin and of average to above-average appearance, but the crow's feet around her eyes indicated that she was not young.

And Liu Jingqi...

The moment she saw this woman, her pupils constricted, her muscles tensed, and the force was so great that even the chair beneath her swayed noticeably.

"Squeak!"

The chair legs scraped against the ground, making a sharp, teeth-grinding sound.

The woman was led by bailiffs to the witness stand.

"Bang!"

Judge Zhang Bingxin struck the gavel again, the clear sound attracting the woman's attention.

She looked up and met Zhang Bingxin's hawk-like eyes, and immediately felt a chill. "Witness, please introduce yourself," Zhang Bingxin said.

The voice was very calm.

But the imposing tone of the voice made Sun Miaohua's heart tighten. She swallowed hard, recalled the procedures Xu De had told her, took a deep breath, and said, "I...I am Sun Miaohua."

"I live in Taozhuang Village, Lianshan County, Yan'an City, Guizhou Province. I am 38 years old and female..."

Sun Miaohua, 38 years old...

When they heard the age, everyone paused slightly.

If the evidence submitted by Xu De is true, and Liu Jingqi is already an adult, then she is not only 18, but possibly 19.

岁.

A 38-year-old with a 19-year-old daughter? Giving birth at 19? Or even getting pregnant at 18?!

Although there are quite a few people like this these days.

But people still subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with her age.

But when he looked up and saw Sun Miaohua's face, which was remarkably similar to Liu Jingqi's, he was speechless.

The other person's facial features and appearance... really do resemble Liu Jingqi by about 70%!

"Witness: Sun Miaohua!"

"The agent just said that you lost a child named 'Nanmei' 12 years ago, in 1990?"

Zhang Bingxin asked the question.

Sun Miaohua wanted to say no, since she had never thought about having children, but in order to pursue compensation, she nodded anyway.

"Yes, my child was only six years old then, and he died so young."

Zhang Bingxin then asked, "Between 1990 and December 28, 2002, did you see the other person?"

Sun Miaohua shook her head: "No."

If I had to say something...

She had actually seen the photos, the photos of Liu Jingqi taken in 91 at the welfare home.

However, this can be disregarded because the time of loss was close to the time of taking the photo.

Judge Zhang Bingxin nodded.

Then, he stopped asking questions and instead turned his attention to the three defendants.

His gaze was piercing, and he said slowly and deliberately, "Witness, please look at the defendant's seat."

The defendant's dock?

Sun Miaohua looked puzzled. She didn't know where the defendant's seat was, so she simply glanced at the whole place.

Her gaze first swept over the prosecutor's seat, then the legal counsel's seat, followed by Zhang Wei and Sun Bing in the defendant's seat, and finally...

Her gaze, in a daze, lingered on the defendant's seat.

Stop! That figure with clenched hands and bowed head!

Despite not having seen her for 12 years, and even though Sun Miaohua had never paid her any attention, at this moment, the connection of blood made Sun Miaohua pause and blurt out, "Nan-mei!?"

The two words fell suddenly.

All eyes immediately focused on Liu Jingqi, who was sitting in the defendant's dock with her head down.

In an instant.

Throughout the second courtroom, reactions from all sides were mixed.

The prosecutors were initially taken aback, but then their faces lit up with excitement.

Meanwhile, the defendant gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly, as if he wanted to cut a gash in the table.

"Nan-mei!"

Sun Miaohua shouted again.

Unfortunately, Liu Jingqi still didn't look up; her fingernails were digging into her palms as if she wanted to tear the flesh off.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Bingxin said, "Defendant Liu Jingqi, please look up."

Despite her reluctance, Liu Jingqi had no choice but to stiffly raise her head.

But when she looked up... the face that gradually blurred and overlapped with her memory struck her like a thunderbolt, and her face turned deathly pale.

at this time.

Presiding Judge Zhang Bingxin asked again, "Defendant, do you know any witnesses?"

If Liu Jingqi was 6 or 7 years old when she went missing in 90, she should have some memory of it, if not a close one, but at least some impression.

only.....

Liu Jingqi's hands and feet trembled slightly, and her lips quivered, but she still managed to say, "I...I don't know him."

Don't you recognize me?

Although this was expected by everyone, since recognizing someone signifies adulthood, and adulthood is a death sentence, anyone with a brain wouldn't admit it.

However, some people think differently.

"You don't acknowledge it!?"

"You dare not recognize me?!"

Sun Miaohua was getting anxious, her tone full of worry.

She won't admit it? If she doesn't admit it, how can she demand compensation?!

"Zhang Yueyue, let me tell you, don't think I won't recognize you just because we haven't seen each other for 12 years!"

Sun Miaohua was so angry that she started cursing on the spot.

"You ungrateful wretch, have you forgotten how I raised you?"

You won't even call me "Mom" anymore, you heartless bastard...

""

She has no manners.

But no one took it seriously, noting that what was important right now was age, not such trivial matters.

Just ordinary court order...

It can be so chaotic that you can hardly imagine. The so-called court order is basically only maintained by judicial professionals, such as clients or witnesses. Let alone arguing, it's not uncommon for people to fight in court.

But it is common, though.

Zhang Bingxin naturally couldn't sit idly by.

"Silence! Silence!"

Judge Zhang Bingxin struck the gavel several times, effectively silencing Sun Miaohua.

Sun Miaohua remained silent, but her eyes clearly showed resentment, as if she wanted to bite Liu Jingqi off.

It's hard to believe that this is the other person's mother...

The scene fell silent again.

The prosecutor's stand.

The three prosecutors looked at Xu De with strange expressions.

Even some of the seven lawyers in the defendant's dock, including several senior lawyers, couldn't help but look up at the other side.

Even the bailiffs and court clerks responsible for maintaining order in the courtroom couldn't help but glance at Xu De, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Honestly.

Each of them is a veteran of the judiciary.

What kind of case haven't I seen? What kind of evidence raid haven't I experienced?

but.

They had never seen anything like this before!

What do you mean by helping someone find the abducted person's biological mother in order to "convict" a person who had been missing for 12 years?

no...

How exactly are these words connected to form a sentence?

Everyone was baffled, completely unable to imagine what Xu De had done.

"unbelievable..

""

At the prosecutor's table, Prosecutor Huang Shi was at a loss for words and simply uttered two words in silence.

It sounds like it's describing something, but it also sounds like it's cursing.

Upon closer examination, the investigation into Liu Jingqi was only launched on the evening of the 17th.

From the 17th to now... no, it should be the 23rd, the other party reappeared in Green Forest City on the 23rd.

That means Xu De only used... six and a half days?

In just six and a half days, they managed to track down the biological parents of a person who had been abducted 12 years ago!

no...

"If he's so capable, why is he even a lawyer?!" Prosecutor Wang Mang couldn't help but blurt out.

The rest of the people remained silent.

a long time..

A voice came from the judge's bench.

"Witness, you..."

'

Judge Zhang Bingxin looked at witness Sun Miaohua, opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment as if he wanted to say something, but did not know what to ask.

The facts of the case are now quite clear.

Sun Miaohua accused Liu Jingqi, but Liu denied it. No matter what is asked, the two will maintain this attitude.

Most importantly... there doesn't seem to be much to ask.

Zhang Bingxin fell silent.

Fortunately, another voice rang out at that moment.

"Your Honor, this is merely a one-sided, verbal identification by the witness!"

All I saw was...

In the defendant's dock, Zhang Weiqiang, stoic and determined, continued to put up a stubborn resistance.

Despite feeling utterly exhausted and weak, he remained defiant, struggling to maintain his composure: "Agent, it still cannot be proven that the defendant Liu Jingqi and Zhang Yueyue are the same person!"

Mother, information, household registration booklet—these things can form a chain of suspicion.

But... it still couldn't form conclusive evidence!

unless..

The other party can prove on the spot that there is a blood relationship between witness Sun Miaohua and Liu Jingqi. In this way, all the chains of suspicion instantly change their nature and become chains of evidence!

Therefore, even if the welfare home or even the human traffickers are not thoroughly investigated, it does not affect the validity of this established fact.

As for how to prove it...

Only biological paternity test reports!

Zhang Wei refused to believe that Xu Deneng could find time to produce an expert report during the mere 11-day recess, after discovering Sun Miaohua's existence!

Unless it's an expedited process within the judicial system, this thing will take at least three days to get done!

Therefore, as long as the court is adjourned without conclusive evidence, there will be at least a 7-day recess, which will give the defendant time to prepare a new defense and overturn the verdict.

and so.

"Unless the attorney can submit irrefutable evidence in an objective physical sense, the content of this trial will not be accepted."

'

Zhang Wei stood up and spoke, his voice reaching everyone's ears.

"We oppose this!!!"

Do you hold an opposing view?

That's questioning!

At the prosecutor's table, Prosecutor Huang Shi frowned, clenched his hands, and was about to speak.

"generation..

""

Unfortunately, just as he opened his mouth, a voice came from the side, interrupting him before he could finish speaking.

"presiding judge!"

"We have one more piece of evidence to present!"

Xu De suddenly spoke again, this time holding up a piece of evidence that had clearly been printed not long ago.

There's...more?

No... you still have more!?

dock.

Zhang Wei and Sun Bing nearly vomited blood. They felt their blood pressure rise and their heads swell as if they were about to explode, but they couldn't speak. They could only grit their teeth and stare at each other.

The other party ignored them.

Xu De continued, "Before the trial, in order to conduct the testimony rigorously and objectively, we testified anonymously..."

'

"We had witness Sun Miaohua and defendant Liu Jingqi conduct a biological identification report, referred to as a paternity test."

The report clearly states...

"6

"Witness Sun Miaohua and defendant Liu Jingqi have a clear biological parent-child relationship; they are biological mother and daughter!"

"I am now submitting this document and request the court to accept it."

After he finished speaking...

Amidst the hesitant, almost murderous gazes of the crowd, the court clerk slowly handed the report to the judge's bench.

On the judge's bench.

The three judges looked at the clear expert opinion, opened their mouths, and hesitated, as if they wanted to say something but then stopped themselves.

A surprise attack...

Another surprise evidence attack...

It gave everyone absolutely no time to prepare.

The court had absolutely no contingency plan for this type of situation, and in fact, this surprise evidence had absolutely no legal standing whatsoever!

"Agent, this is not a forensic examination..."

"Zhang Bingxin's face was ashen as he watched Xu De squeeze out these words through gritted teeth."

So much evidence...

This person didn't provide any evidence!

He barely managed to turn a blind eye to the first surprise attack... but it seems this attack is addictive and never-ending!

?

Presiding Judge Zhang Bingxin took a deep breath, suppressing his emotions, and said in a deep voice, "You launched an evidence raid?"

Xu De, however, seemed oblivious to his expression and calmly stated, "Your Honor, although our actions are somewhat similar to an 'evidence raid,' but..."

'

"We have a legitimate reason this time!"

This time you have a legitimate reason... so you also know you didn't have a legitimate reason last time!?
