Lu Xin took a deep breath, her voice trembling: "...I'm so nervous."

Qi Yuan turned his head to see her trembling teeth and trembling lips, he couldn't help laughing and said: "You don't have to go to court, why are you nervous?"

"I'm afraid I'll lose." Lu Xin heard her heart beating fast and fast, "The Qi family will definitely not give up so easily."

Qi Yuan held her hand tightly, with a steady confidence in his voice, as if assuring her: "We will not lose."

There are still 10 minutes before the court session, and the auditorium is almost full of spectators.

It has been several months since Qi Yuan's death was suddenly overturned, and the popularity has soared. It can be called big news in the city. Many people stretched their necks, stared and raised their ears. They all wanted to join in the fun, looking forward to watching Qi's family The day when the building will collapse, the tree will fall and the hozen will scatter.

On the prosecution's seat, Xiong Zhiyong was already in place. His hair was cut into a short layer of green stubble, and he was wearing a black leather jacket. He looked energetic, with silver handcuffs on his hands. He lowered his head, a little obsequious, and his momentum was low.

The defense attorney sat beside him and whispered something to him.His surname is Zhong, and he looks very young, probably in his early 30s, with bright eyebrows, a neat suit, and an aura of righteousness.

"We must win." Attorney Zhong said to him affirmatively, "Show a little confidence, don't be so afraid, it will only encourage the courage of the opponent."

Xiong Zhiyong drooped his shoulders, nodded slightly, and said without confidence: "Okay."

The defense table was still empty, and the Qi family hadn't arrived yet, and the others were already almost in place.The presiding judge wearing a white curly wig looked at the clock many times, and finally when there were 5 minutes left, the Qi family arrived in a mighty manner, surrounded by a middle-aged man among the three of them, without any sense of tension. come over.

The judge frowned slightly: "The defendant, please sit down as soon as possible."

Qi's father, Qi's mother and Qi Miao sat down at the defense table one after another, and the middle-aged man stood beside them with a commercial smirk on his face.He is the barrister of the Qi family, with a square face and thick eyebrows, a neat beard, a suit and leather shoes, and an elite temperament.

Someone recognized him as the most popular defense lawyer recently, named Li Yan. He won many lawsuits in a row, and his net worth skyrocketed.

"It seems that they spent a lot of money in order to kill themselves." Qi Yuan said in a low voice.

Lu Xin bit her lip: "He looks quite sophisticated."

"Don't be afraid, Lawyer Zhong is not a good person." Qi Yuan rubbed the back of her hand.

Li Yan squinted his eyes and looked at Lawyer Zhong on the prosecution table. He remembered the other party, a rising star in the firm. Has its own style of defense.

"Lawyer Li, there should be no problem this time, right?" Qi's mother looked at the red nails on her hands and asked leisurely.She looked like she had nothing to do with her, as if she was through no fault of her own.

"Don't worry," Li Yan replied confidently, "This Zhong Xu is a rookie with far less experience than me. We have a high probability of winning."

Having said that, he felt that his estimate was too conservative, and winning the lawsuit was a sure thing.

Father Qi nodded: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Mom, where do you think this driver has the guts to sue us?" Qi Miao crossed her arms, with a contemptuous look on her face, "He is not satisfied with giving him money and taking care of his half-dead mother. ?”

Qi's mother didn't take it seriously: "Maybe I still want money."

When the time moved to the last minute, the justice cleared his throat and said, "Please turn your equipment to silent, and no external sounds or factors are allowed to interfere during the defense."

"All rise!"

He struck the cylindrical gavel against the base, heralding the opening of the court.

"Now the plaintiff and his legal representative are invited to speak." The presiding judge clasped his hands together and looked at Xiong Zhiyong.

In an instant, all eyes were on the driver.Xiong Zhiyong suddenly panicked, he opened his mouth, but he didn't utter a word for a long time.

The three members of the Qi family showed contempt when they saw this, and felt that they had the chance to win.

Lu Xin was anxious: "Why didn't he speak?!"

"Don't worry." Mr. Qi in the front seat said slowly, "He is too honest and easily influenced by other people. Now he is nervous."

"Don't be nervous!" Zhong Xu approached him and comforted him in a low voice, "Tell them everything you have seen and done. Leave the rest to me."

Xiong Zhiyong blushed and nodded vigorously.He licked his dry lips, and slowly stated: "...I am a truck driver of Jiechang Automobile Company, and one day I suddenly received a call from my boss..."

He stumbled at first, but gradually became fluent later.

"My boss saw that my family was in trouble, so he offered to help me. He asked me to go to a coffee shop and said that he would introduce me to a 'big business', and the reward would be very generous."

"I went there and met my 'employers', Mrs. Qi and Mr. Qi in a very high-end coffee shop. They told me to fake a traffic accident and knock their daughter Qi Yuan into a vegetable."

The three people sitting on the defense table all had livid faces and indifferent expressions, as if they never expected that the driver would suddenly betray him, and dared to sue them instead.

"They told me that I only need to be sentenced to three years for traffic accidents, and all the consequences can be taken care of for me. Mrs. Qi also told me to give me 100 million as a deposit first, and then wait for me to come out in three years, and then give me 500 million... ..."

"At first I saw that this was illegal, so I didn't really want to do it, but they were willing to support my sick mother for me... I was really in trouble at the time, so I agreed."

Having said this, Xiong Zhiyong took a deep breath, obviously it was not easy for him to reveal the truth in front of so many people.Zhong Xu patted him on the shoulder to express his encouragement.

"Later, later... on the day of the car accident, I was driving on the road, ready to implement the plan, but Miss Qi Miao suddenly called me and asked me to directly kill Miss Qi Yuan, and promised to give me another 400 million."

"I refused again and again, but in the end, she even threatened me with my mother's consolation..." Xiong Zhiyong closed his eyes and said bitterly, "I have no other choice but to follow suit and kill Miss Qi Yuan."

Qi Yuan lowered his eyes, feeling complicated.

After working hard for so long, the truth finally surfaced and revealed to the world.

It was like boiling water exploded in the auditorium, and there was a lot of noise.

Qi Yuan's funeral was so grand that everyone in the city knew about it. Qi's father and Qi's mother were heartbroken and turned white overnight, and the image of good parents was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

But Qi Yuan was killed by her own parents?Isn't this fake compassion for cats crying for mice?

If this is true, it will be on Weibo's hot search headlines, it is shocking, and it will shock the three views.

All of a sudden, all kinds of disdainful and shocking eyes fell on the defense bench.

"Silence!" The judge maintained order until the scene was completely silent before saying in a low voice, "Plaintiff, have you finished your speech?"

Xiong Zhiyong let out a long breath, relief after the truth came to light on his face: "My speech is over."

"Okay." The judge showed no expression, and turned to the defense seat, "Now the defendant and his legal representative are invited to reply."

Qi's father nodded calmly. He seemed unhurried and spoke clearly.

He has been ups and downs in Vanity Fair for many years, and he is already a person who is used to seeing big scenes, exuding a calm and composed aura around him.

This is a much higher starting point than Xiong Zhiyong, and many people who were originally skeptical couldn't help being confused.

"What this Mr. Xiong said is completely nonsense." He said calmly, "We have never contacted his truck company, nor have we met him."

Xiong Zhiyong's face turned pale.

"The only time I saw him was after my daughter Qi Yuan had an accident, and I got to know him with the help of the police." Qi's father talked eloquently, "At that time, I was heartbroken for my daughter's death, but I didn't blame him too much. Just let him pay the corresponding compensation. After all, death is like a lamp going out, and it is meaningless to care about these things."

"After Qi Yuan died, I held a grand funeral for her. Everyone knew about it. If I killed my daughter, do I have to behave like this?"

Father Qi looked at him with sharp eyes like a falcon: "What's more, why did I kill my own daughter? Can you give me a reason?"

Xiong Zhiyong was stunned, shocked by his shamelessness.

There was a murmur in the audience.

"That's right, what reason did he have to kill his own daughter? The Qi family is so rich, it's not like they can't afford it."

"I'm afraid the driver is lying...want to get rid of your relationship?"

"You all listen too much to the fact that the wind is the rain, and you believe this for a while and believe that for a while!"

Lu Xin was so angry that she blushed and had a headache, her hands on her knees were clenched with veins, and she wished she could rush down and argue for herself.

Qi Yuan looked as usual, and comforted her in turn: "Why are you angry, it's not worth being angry about these people."

Most of the people here are nothing but grass on the wall of public opinion, they will fall wherever the wind is strong, and they have no ability to judge themselves.

Father Qi turned to the judge confidently: "My speech is over." His speech was smooth, natural and convincing, and he easily won the favor of most people.

The judge nodded, discussed in a low voice with the two jurors beside him, and then said: "Since there is no third person in this case, let's directly start the mutual debate."

Li Yan straightened his neckline and pre-empted: "Listen to the testimony of the witnesses of the prosecution. He and the defendant met at the owner of the coffee shop. Who can testify? Do you have any witnesses?"

Zhong Xu replied lightly: "No."

"You don't have witnesses, but we do." Li Yan smiled slightly, turned to the judge and said, "I request that our witnesses appear in court."

The judge nodded in agreement.After a while, two bailiffs surrounded a man and sat on the witness stand.

"I'm the owner of the coffee shop." Under Li Yan's signal, the man said slowly, "I did see President Qi and Mrs. Qi coming to my coffee shop on the day of the incident. Every Wednesday afternoon."

"At that time, they just came to drink afternoon tea as usual. And that afternoon, I didn't see this driver coming. There were only Mrs. Qi and Mr. Qi during the whole process. On this point, my waiters and I agreed can testify."

Lu Xin's pupils shrank slightly, thinking: The Qi family actually bribed the owner of the coffee shop? !

"So that's how it is..." Qi Yuan was thoughtful, "If it turns out that they didn't see Xiong Zhiyong, then this transaction will cease to exist."

Someone on the jury asked, "Are you sure that your testimony is completely true?"

"I'm sure!" the boss said impatiently.

The justice expressed his understanding and indicated that he could go to court.

"He's completely lying!" Xiong Zhiyong was furious.

Li Yan raised his chin, calmly: "Lying? Please witnesses for the prosecution come up with solid evidence, otherwise it will constitute defamation of our witnesses."

Qi Miao rested her chin with one hand, with a proud expression on her face.Mother Qi also smiled.

The scene was suddenly one-sided, and the scales in many people's hearts had already tilted to the Qi family's side, thinking that Xiong Zhiyong was slandering without evidence.

"Oh, sure enough, he just wanted to extort money! It's too difficult to be a rich man, and to be wronged like this."

"This driver is really outrageous. How can he say that he killed his own daughter? TV dramas don't dare to make it up like this..."

These whispers naturally flowed into Li Yan's ears, and he immediately pursued the victory, turning a blind eye to Xiong Zhiyong's anger, and continued: "The driver's claim that Miss Qi Miao called him is also completely nonsense. Miss Qi Miao had sufficient rights at the time. Alibi."

"This driver" was pronounced indifferently and arrogantly by him, fully revealing a kind of superior contempt.

The jury sighed, and even the judge frowned: "Please pay attention to the defense lawyers."

Li Yan nodded indifferently.He looked at Xiong Zhiyong, his face was purple and his veins were bulging, obviously he was at the end of his battle.

"He's gone too far..." Lu Xin murmured.

Qi Yuan whispered: "I think he did it on purpose."

Li Yan deliberately aroused the other party's anger. Once the plaintiff loses control of his emotions, the debate process will be easily affected by emotions, making many speeches less rational.

Facing Li Yan's smug look, Zhong Xu was especially calm. He pressed Xiong Zhiyong's shoulder and shook his head at him to signal him to calm down.

"Calm down, don't be fooled by them." Zhong Xu said softly, "We have important evidence in hand now, and we can't let our efforts fall by the wayside."

Xiong Zhiyong had to force himself to calm down.

"I was watching dramas in the living room, so I don't have time to call you." Qi Miao carelessly fiddled with the short hair on her cheeks, "My brother is sitting next to me, he can see clearly."

Qi Si also served as a witness and appeared in court under the leadership of the bailiff.

Different from the smiling face in the past, that handsome face showed a rare expressionless expression.

When the Qi family saw that Qi Si had appeared in court to testify, they felt more stable, and their expressions became much tougher.

Qi Yuan's eyes froze.

"Can you testify against the defense's testimony?" the judge asked the young teenager.

Qi Si raised his head and said slowly: "My sister wasn't with me at the time, she was in her own room, and I couldn't testify for her."

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden reversal, and everyone was stunned.

Qi Miao's smiling face froze: "Sisi, what do you mean? Stop making trouble, now is not the time to joke..."

Qi's mother was also surprised and said: "What stupid things are you talking about! Hurry up and help your sister say something!"

Qi Si ignored them and said word by word: "Not only that, I also know some other things related to the case."

"I saw with my own eyes that the car company once called my mother."

There was an uproar.

The author has something to say: Qi Si: I am the inner ghost

I am not a legal professional, so the debate process may be a bit watery, please lightly spray orz
