Gu Yaluo stood outside the Supreme Court and glanced at the stone statue standing on the court, the goddess Temis in ancient mythology, the Greek goddess of justice and law, known for her clarity of mind.

She blindfolded her eyes with a cloth, representing equal treatment; Holding the balance in the right hand represents fairness and justice; In the left hand, he holds a long sword, which represents the authority of justice.

How can this world be fair and just, just as the prince who breaks the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime, and it is just empty words.

Outside the courtroom, Wei Muting put on a wig and a lawyer's robe, which was really a little imposing.

As soon as they saw Wei Muting coming over, Gu Yaluo and the others surrounded him, looking at Wei Muting as if they were looking at a rare animal. The temperament of the whole person is very different, of course, it's okay not to speak, but when you speak, it will leak out.

"Lawyer Wei, this time my daughter is all up to you." Lu Zhongfu asked.

"I ...... I...... Yes, as far as I can...... Strength ...... And for. Wei Muting said intermittently.

Although Lu Zhongfu and Jiang Huifen didn't show it on their faces, they were really worried!

Chen Annie looked at the lawyer who defended her sister-in-law with some surprise, and a question rose in her heart, putting a big question mark, can this work?

Seeing the lawyer's robe and wig for the first time, Gu Zhanyan was very curious and asked questions.

Leung Pik Chi patiently explained to the brothers, "The lawyer will wear a lawyer's robe and a wig to the court, and the solemn dress represents respect for the law, and at the same time, there are different meanings behind it. Wigs are used to disguise the identity of the lawyer, so that the judge will not be influenced by the lawyer's age, gender, and appearance. There is a small bag behind the lawyer's robe, and when he wears the lawyer's robe, he receives a remuneration on behalf of the lawyer, and he must try his best to solve the problem for the client.

Judges and lawyers wearing wigs in courtroom is one of the most distinctive traditions of the British court, and we can also see this cultural imprint with British characteristics in some British colonial areas that have been deeply influenced by the British judicial system. ”

"Lawyer Wei, how hot it is in the summer!" Gu Zhanshuo touched his wig and said.

"I ...... I...... Hate...... Don't ......," Wei Muting said with a red face and stammering.

"Let me tell you! In fact, more than half of lawyers don't like it. Barrister Wei is even more eager to take it off, because these wig sets made of horsehair are very expensive but very unhygienic, generally a wig will last a lifetime, there is a family of lawyers who have a 94-year-old antique, passed down for four generations, can be called a family heirloom. Liang Bizhi told interesting stories to ease everyone's tense atmosphere.

Everyone is amazed, for more than 90 years, it is not an old antique that has been preserved.

Annie Chan listened to the children tell interesting stories about school, "Hao Yi listened to her law classmates at school joke that in the Middle Ages, overwork and illness caused the judiciary to lose their hair prematurely, and in order to hide their cleverness in front of the public, wigs became popular, and the convention became a scene in the English court." ”

Liang Bizhi stroked the broken hair in her ear and chuckled, "The popular fashion tradition of wearing wigs in England began around the twelfth century, when it was not just the preserve of judges and lawyers, people in the upper class regarded wearing wigs as a fashion, a formal dress for formal occasions or salon gatherings. Experts point out that there is a difference between wigs used in the judiciary and ordinary wigs. In England, there are three curls on each side of a judicial wig and only two for the royal family, which is a subtle metaphor. But the Scots are at odds with the English, because in Scotland the situation is reversed, with the royal family wearing three curly wigs and the judiciary having only two. ”

The gag outside the courtroom relaxed everyone's nervousness a little.

When they heard about the lawsuit, the Chinese people had a natural feeling of resistance in their hearts, even if they were on Hong Kong Island, they still had the blood of Chinese tradition in their bones.

It was time to enter, and everyone entered the courtroom one after another, finding their seats and sitting down.

The interior of the courtroom is decorated with wooden tables and chairs of dark colors, which is of course serious, heavy and majestic for this occasion.

The judge is in the center, facing the courtroom, directly opposite the plaintiff on the right and the defendant on the left. Very symmetrical.

Gu Yaluo and the others sat on the left side of the family or the seats that came to watch the court, separated by a row of waist-deep wooden fences, and in front of them was the defense lawyer's seat where Wei Muting and Liang Bizhi were sitting.

is close to Gu Yaluo, which is just convenient for her to pass the note to Liang Bizhi.

A little further on, there is the dock.

On the other side of the aisle, to the right of the judge, is the plaintiff, sitting Robert and several bodyguards. In front of them is the prosecutor's seat.

In front of the prosecutor's bench is the witness stand.

In addition, there are clerks in front of the judge, and on the left side against the wall are the seven seats of the jury.

Gu Yaluo didn't see the blonde boy, she was a little surprised, maybe it was inconvenient to come forward, so she was waiting in another room!

Lu Jiangdan was escorted by the policewoman and walked in first.

The Lu family and the three siblings stood up in unison and looked over.

"Mom!" The brothers whispered in unison.

Lu Jiangdan was just about to speak, but the policewoman behind her stopped her.

Lu Jiangdan had no choice but to nod to his family, and then nodded to Wei Muting and Liang Bizhi to say hello.

In fact, the two sides met before the trial, Liang Bizhi and Lu Jiangdan met, and praised Lu Jiangdan's good mental outlook and continued to maintain it.

The door of the courtroom was pushed open, and Gu Yaluo saw the iron-blooded prosecutor for the first time, Ling Yaobang, with a big back, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he walked with a tigerish style, and he was really domineering, and his eyes were empty.

"Stand up!"

Everyone in the room stood up and waited for the judge to sit down.

"The first witness in this case is summoned to testify in court."

The first witness in this case was a military police officer who found Lu Jiangdan at the scene of the crime and arrested her.

A middle-aged policeman in uniform stood on the witness stand, and Ling Yaobang left his seat and walked over and asked, "May I ask the witness, what did you see at that time?" ”

"When I first saw the defendant, I saw her sitting on the ground, and the deceased was lying not far from the defendant." Police Road.

"Did you take any action at the time, and what was the defendant's reaction at the time?" Ling Yaobang asked.

So I went over to see her, and when the defendant saw me, he got up from the ground and ran, so I chased her, and soon caught up with her. The policeman said proudly.

Ling Yaobang stood at the witness stand and looked at the policeman and continued, "You said that you have ten years of experience as a police officer. In your experience, when the defendant saw the uniformed police officer running away, this reaction was not the most ...... for the average offender to see the police officer after committing the crime."

Wei Muting stood up and said, "I...... I...... I...... Oppose. ”

"The most ordinary reaction!"

The prosecution and defense said together.

There was a small burst of laughter from the auditorium, and of course everyone knew who the laughter was.

"Oppose the prosecutor's erroneous guidance of witnesses and make judgments about my client's psychological reaction at the time." Wei Muting took a deep breath and said very quickly.

Ling Yaobang looked at the judge and explained, "Your Excellency, it is very important to understand the defendant's immediate reaction in this case. ”

"The objection is invalid, and I remind the jury that the witness's answer is based on the witness's many years of police work experience." The judge added, "The witness must answer the prosecutor's question. ”

"Yes!" Police Road.

"Your Honor, I'm done." Ling Yaobang said.

Wei Muting stood up and said, "Please...... You...... You answered me clearly, when you saw the accused, you only saw the accused sitting next to the deceased, and not saw the accused make any attack on the deceased, didn't you? ”

Everyone in the auditorium looked at the defense lawyer in amazement, and after a sentence, although he stuttered a little at first, he was much better than just now, which was really impressive.

Ling Yaobang frowned, the policeman's confession was still not sufficient, and it only arrived afterwards, if there were direct witnesses, it would be good.

The policeman looked at Wei Muting and replied, "When I saw the defendant, the defendant's hand stopped. ”

Wei Muting leaned forward, holding a pencil in his hand, and pointed at him, "You just have to answer yes or no!" Please don't make assumptions. ”

"I just said yes." The policeman had no choice but to say.

"Your Excellency, I'm done." Wei Muting said.

At this time, a young man in a suit and leather shoes hurriedly came in from outside, ran to Ling Yaobang's side in a panic and sat down, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Gu Yaluo frowned lightly, it didn't look like the situation was very good. So he looked at Wei Muting, who also looked at the prosecutor's side, and his brows furrowed.

Sure enough, Ling Yaobang stood up and said loudly, "My lord, in view of the new discoveries in the case, the prosecution applied for the trial to be adjourned. ”

As soon as Ling Yaobang's words fell, Wei Muting immediately stood up and said, "Anti...... Anti...... Oppose! Control...... Control...... Prosecution ......"

As soon as he heard Wei Muting speak, the people in the audience below covered their mouths and sneered again.

Jiang Huifen and Lu Zhongfu were anxious and worried! If it weren't for Lu Jiangdan saying that there was no need to change lawyers, they would have changed a long time ago.

This lawsuit hasn't been fought yet! I feel that the momentum is weaker than that of the iron-blooded prosecutor.
