Chapter 298: Surfacing (Second Update)

When Huo Jialan was brought to the courtroom by the bailiff with a wooden face, she couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Gu Nianzhi standing on the plaintiff's defense bench wearing a navy blue suit and pants. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Her gaze quickly swept the courtroom hall, then silently turned around and followed the bailiff to the witness stand.

Bai Jinyi's side showed disdain for Gu Nianzhi's summons to Huo Jialan to testify.

Huo Jialan has obviously been torturing Song Jinning, because in her heart, Song Jinning is the culprit who caused her mother to commit suicide.

If she suspected Bai Jinyi, she wouldn't have treated Song Jinning like that at all.

The people on the Bai family's side were sure that Huo Jialan did not have any evidence in his hand, so they looked at Gu Nianzhi calmly one by one, waiting to see the joke.

After Gu Nianzhi asked Huo Jialan to reveal his identity and name in accordance with court procedures, he got to the point.

"Miss Huo Jialan, may I ask if you accepted all their inheritances after your father Huo Guanyuan and mother Luo Xinxue died?"

Huo Jialan is dressed up very beautifully today, especially a pair of plump lips, and the coral-colored lipstick she uses contrasts with the coral-colored suit on her body, which is very eye-catching.

She pursed her red lips, and her fingers with the big red kodan stayed on her lips for a moment, and she asked rhetorically, "Is my parents' estate related to this case?"

"Of course it is. Gu Nianzhi stared at her calmly, "You just need to answer yes or no." ā€

"The estate of the deceased is relevant to this case, witnesses, please answer. The judge also supported Gu Nianzhi.

Gu Nianzhi smiled gratefully at the judge, and continued to stare at Huo Jialan.

Huo Jialan pursed her lips and said reluctantly, "...... Yes, so what? They are my parents, and I am their only daughter, and their inheritance will not be given to anyone?"

"I didn't question whether you have the right to inherit the inheritance, what are you refuting?" Gu Nianzhi raised his eyebrows, a little surprised by Huo Jialan's attitude.

Huo Jialan twitched the corner of his eyes, and his heart was flustered, but he quickly calmed down and smiled, "If you ask like that, everyone will have this kind of question." ā€

Gu Nianzhi glanced at her and continued: "Since you have received all the inheritances of Huo Guanyuan and Luo Xinxue, I want to summon two pieces of evidence to you. -- It has been approved by the court, and this is the document. ā€

Gu Nianzhi raised her hand, and a bailiff showed Huo Jialan the documents she had handed in beforehand.

"What kind of evidence is this?" Huo Jialan frowned.

I saw that the document was attached to a list of relics and a list of wills.

"These two things, one is the list of relics of Senior Colonel Huo Guanyuan, he was suddenly killed in an experimental accident sixteen years ago, and the military department handed over all his things to your mother Luo Xinxue, along with the one handed over to your mother, there is this list of relics, and the military department also has an archive, which is put together with the file of Senior Colonel Huo Guanyuan. Gu Nianzhi first introduced the first list.

Huo Jialan finished reading it silently, raised her eyes and looked at Gu Nianzhi, waiting for her to speak.

"This second copy is the list of your mother Luo Xinxue's wills. Gu Nianzhi pointed to the big screen to show Luo Xinxi's list of wills, "Luo Xinxue listed all her movable and immovable properties on the list of wills, as well as some important items placed at home. Please cooperate with the court's request to hand over the items listed on the list of Huo Guanyuan's relics and Luo Xinxue's will to assist in the investigation. ā€

Huo Jialan's hands trembled a little.

She tried her best to keep herself calm, and said as calmly as possible: "I inherited my father's and mother's legacy, but it's been ten years, and there are so many things, I still have to take the time to go back and find it." "Is it?Then how long will it take you to find it?" Gu Nianzhi looked at the two lists, "These little things are not too much, and the two lists add up to less than fifty pieces, most of which are still jewelry listed by your mother Luo Xinxue." ā€

In addition to real estate and deposit certificates, the relics left by Huo Guanyuan and Luo Xinxue are only some small items.

Huo Jialan was silent for a while, "Let's find one for two or three days......

"Hehe, give you two hours. If you can't find it, I will apply to the court for a search warrant and go directly to your house to search. Gu Nianzhi did not hesitate to refute Huo Jialan's request.

The judge also felt that such a simple list was too much to find for two or three days, and agreed with Gu Nianzhi's statement, "Give the witness two hours and go back to find it immediately." If you can't find it, or if you need more time, just explain the reason to the court. -- Adjournment. ā€

The Tribunal was adjourned for two hours.

Bai Jinyi was a little irritable, and said to Jin Dazhuo: "Why do you let a student lawyer lead the way by the nose?

Jin Daxiang's face darkened, and he lowered his voice and said, "Of course we have a shot. After adjourning the court for a week before, the Chinese doctor conducted another autopsy, could it be that Director Bai had forgotten?"

Bai Jinyi was choked by him.

Jin Dazhuo sneered and said: "If Director Bai can say more practical content to us and mention a few more candidates, we will not be on the defensive all the time." ā€

According to the laws of the Chinese Empire, whoever sues collects evidence.

Therefore, Gu Nianzhi, as the plaintiff's lawyer, of course has to say more, because what she wants to convince is the judge to prove that Luo Xinxue was indeed murdered and that Bai Jinyi is indeed the murderer.

Jin Dazhuo is Bai Jinyi's defense lawyer, and what they need is to find flaws in Gu Nianzhi's argument and then refute it.

So far, they have not found new flaws.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ However, it has already been discussed by our lawyers. Jin Dazhu looked around, "This new witness called by the plaintiff can make a fuss." ā€

Bai Jinyi was puzzled, "Huo Jialan, this is a slippery head, what do you want to do?"

"Director Bai, for legal matters, please leave it to us to execute. All you have to do is tell us all the facts. You must know that any concealment is helping the other party to send you to prison. ā€

Bai Jinyi pursed her lips and said reflexively: "I have said everything that should be said, and I have nothing to hide." ā€

……

Two hours later, the court reconvened.

Huo Jialan had already returned, and with a calm face, he handed over the things he inherited from his father and mother to the people on Gu Nianzhi's side to check.

Director Wang of the Forensic Division of the Special Operations Division personally took the list of relics and the list of wills for inspection, and found that two things were missing.

"1. Senior Colonel Huo Guanyuan's personal mobile phone, mobile phone number 1xxxxxxxxx. ā€

"2. A birth certificate that Luo Xinxue kept in the bank safe. ā€

"Your Excellency, Miss Huo didn't hand over these two things. ā€

The judge looked at Huo Jialan, "Huo Jialan, may I ask why a personal mobile phone listed on Huo Guanyuan's relics list and Luo Xinxue's birth certificate in the bank safe are not in the things you handed over?"

She shook her head at the judge: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but my father's list of relics was given to my mother by the military department and signed by her. I had never seen this list of relics when it came to me. I just took this list given by the court and checked it with my father's relics, and there were others, but this personal phone was missing. ā€

What a coincidence.

There was a buzz in the courtroom.

Gu Nianzhi kept his face calm and did not speak.

In fact, after so many years, it is normal for these things to be lost or disposed of, and Gu Nianzhi can understand it, but Director Wang, with so many years of experience in evidence identification, has an uncommon intuition.

"Lawyer Gu, Senior Colonel Huo Guanyuan's personal mobile phone is definitely not ordinary evidence, you should apply to the court for permission to go to the mobile company to investigate the call and text message records of the mobile phone. ā€

Without a court subpoena, the mobile company will not allow a non-owner of the phone to investigate.

Of course, for Gu Nianzhi, it doesn't matter if the mobile phone is gone, as long as you know the mobile phone number, with Brother Ozawa here, no mobile phone is a secret.

However, Zhao Liangze's means of obtaining information are exclusive to the Special Operations Division, and it is impossible to use it in court to make evidence, and only the evidence presented by the mobile company that provided the number is legal evidence.

"Your Excellency, we believe that the contents stored on this mobile phone are very helpful to the case, and we hope that the court will issue a subpoena to the mobile company to investigate the call history of this mobile phone. Gu Nianzhi boldly made a request.

The judge weighed it for a long time and felt that Huo Guanyuan had all the relics, but there was indeed some problem with the lack of mobile phones, so he agreed to Gu Nianzhi's request and issued a summons to the mobile company.
