Chapter 611: Out of Court

While continuing the trial, the lawyer who was the defendant suddenly raised a point of view as to whether the photos would have been falsified by technical means such as artificial modification. And the lawyer also put forward the argument of the "alien incident", which has been widely spread in recent years and has caused great impact, and the impact of this incident is beyond the speculation of most people.

The alien incident is very famous throughout the Western world, and the aftermath of this incident continues to ferment even today. It all started when a freelance contributor who claimed to be a wildlife photographer came up with a photograph of a bird standing on a branch grooming its feathers. However, on the right side of the photograph, a flat object with a certain mechanical nature and a partial bracket can be seen, as well as a monster with a triangular head and big eyes.

The freelance contributor claimed that he didn't notice anything unusual when he was taking the photo, and then some scientists came forward to explain it to him, claiming that it was a very sophisticated optical deception effect, and even came up with a so-called rudimentary model and demonstrated it in some public places. The whole world was in an uproar, and some mechanical enthusiasts said that what was not fully captured in the picture should be a flying vehicle, as evidenced by the part of the bracket on the ground.

Under the impetus of various forces, people finally knew what the horror of this photo was, and it was not long before the Imperial Capital Daily published a press release under the title of "We Are Not Alone", in which the writers in the news believed that aliens did exist and might even live around us, based on a variety of evidence. The reason why we can't find these aliens is because they have technology that is ahead of their time, making them invisible to the naked eye outside, but machines can catch them.

For this reason, the freelance contributor also won many awards, was invited by many relevant organizations to give speeches, and suddenly became a social celebrity.

What followed was the year of the alien fever explosion, as if aliens had taken over the earth overnight, and many photos showed more or less things that might be related to aliens, such as flying machines, blurred backs and even clear faces. While curiosity about aliens had been going on for eight or nine months, the frenzy suddenly turned into a fear of aliens with a book called "Feeding," the author of which himself wanted to make a fortune with the influence of aliens.

But similar books on the market are emerging one after another, and hot spots are still hot spots, but books are not necessarily easy to sell. Coupled with the fact that most of the author's works are homicide thrillers, he decided to go against the mainstream and turn the faces of these "peace-loving" and "observant" aliens upside down, thinking that it was all a conspiracy. Humans are nothing more than test subjects kept on Earth by aliens, and when they need to experiment with a drug or something, they will randomly pick up some test items for experimentation.

There is a creepy view in the book, maybe these aliens that cannot be seen by the naked eye are all around us, and maybe even right next to you watching you read this book.

This counterculture was an instant success, but it also quickly turned the positive culture of alien mania into a negative craze with conspiracy theories, with people marching to demand that the government expel the aliens from the planet, and still others arguing that the aliens should be found, and then seize their technology, kill them, and regain control of humanity's own destiny and take the initiative.

Under the great changes in public opinion, the first free contributor who discovered aliens was attacked by some people as "aliens' lackeys", believing that the purpose of his photo was to create a false atmosphere, so that human beings could more smoothly accept the existence of aliens, and even rule.

Under verbal and even physical attacks from many fanatics, the freelance contributor came forward to the public and admitted that he had faked the photo, because an accident caused the negative of the photo to be exposed a second time. It was because of this mistake that he had some ideas, and maybe he could use such technology to achieve success in his career. Then he came up with such a photo of the alien by coincidence, and successfully sparked a heated discussion and the tide of public opinion, and he also gained a huge fortune.

This is the alien incident and the impact of this incident, and even today there are still people who claim to have photographed aliens and submit articles to major newspapers in the hope of earning a fee.

The defendant's defense lawyer pointed out that the photo falsification was not unprovoked, and it can be said that their lawyer studied some basic evidence provided by the plaintiff in a rather detailed manner, and directly found the first place that could be regarded as a breakthrough and carried out a crucial attack. If it can be proved that the photos are faked, not only will Doolin's accusation against them not be established, but they will be able to bite Dulin in turn and make false accusations.

Because the defendant requested the legality of the plaintiff's basic evidence, many questions based on the photographs could not be further asked, and could only wait for the next trial. The next trial is initially scheduled for a month later, and the negatives of the photographs will be checked for authenticity by four testing departments at the same time to ensure that the final results are true and valid.

A wonderful and hot explosion point was performed by both sides in the most boring way, which made people cry out for boredom, and some people saw what was behind this court debate. That is, the lawyers on Doolin's side seem to have chosen the wrong strategy, and instead of using the valid evidence in their hands as a point of fire to win over the jury, they give some ambiguous testimony witnesses, which complicates simple and straightforward matters.

Some people think that there is a problem with the lawyer group that Du Lin chose this time, but many more people think that the decisive place of this world-renowned lawsuit is the same as all previous cases, and the result will not be in court, but outside the court.

There are too many things in this world that can interfere with justice, and Durin has been removed from office, but he is fighting against the current mayor of Otis City, and the old aristocratic chaebol with a wide circle of friends and deep-rooted power in the north, and it is difficult for Durin as a minority to win this lawsuit that belongs to him.

The newspapers continued to analyze why the first argument of this lawsuit ended in this way, and under the influence of some cute little pieces of paper, most of the newspapers launched public opinion was inclined to Duhrin as a "victim", and his victim image jumped on the page, and the general public, including a part of the middle class, were inclined to Doolin.

The wind of public opinion soon caused some business problems for the Capetian family, and the first to attack was the Fatima family, which the Capetian family thought had the strongest cooperative relationship. The Fatimid family, as the largest aristocratic consortium in the north of the empire, is a weather vane in itself. Her Excellency believed that morally definitive people should not be allowed to tarnish the reputation of the Fatimid family, so she chose to suspend the plan for cooperation in the Southern Special Administrative Region.

The Fatima family had told everyone that I wanted this cake, but now he suddenly put the cake back on the plate, and even if he said that I wouldn't eat it, no one else dared to stand up and say that you don't eat it, I will eat it. Mr. Capet Sr. immediately went to the Fatimid family to explain these things to Her Excellency, hoping that the cooperation between the two sides would continue.

At the same time, the Capetian family began to realize the influence of public opinion on them, and began to recruit a group of newspapers to speak for themselves, but they moved a little slower. Once a trend is formed in mainstream public opinion, it cannot be easily stopped. The newspaper they bought could not directly say that the Capet family was innocent, and they were still blowing about Dulin before, and now they are blowing Capet when they turn around, and everyone knows what is going on.

Will they continue to make newspapers in the future, and will they still have credibility?

Some of the skeptical remarks about Doolin didn't work at all, but instead further promoted the conspiracy theory that the victory and defeat of the case were not in the courtroom, and for a time the Capetian family was anxious. In the face of the outraged public opinion, they realized for the first time that this was no longer the era when the aristocracy dominated society.

"What does a child do when he is beaten and can't beat the other person?" said Maggs, sipping a light flower tea as he pushed a chess piece to take a step forward on the board.

Durin frowned, he was a little hesitant in the face of Mags' attack, he was not very good at chess, and if it wasn't for Mags's suggestion, he wouldn't want to play this game at all. After thinking for a long time, he moved a chess piece, and then Maggs showed a faint smile on his face and pressed his chess piece on Durin's "king".

Then he laughed and straightened up, took off his eyes, and wiped his hands with a hot towel, "If I were you, I would go and consult some great teachers, find a group of great friends, and then try to beat me on the chessboard together." He said as he changed his words, "You had a lot of fun in the west during this time?"

After Durin went to the west, Maggs had some thoughts in his heart, he actually didn't want Durin to go to the west, he hoped that Durin could come to the imperial capital to help him. In this way, he was able to keep Durin within a reasonable and appropriate range, but he realized that this might be an opportunity for Durin to toss Memnon.

Maggs hated Memnon, the leader of the third party who relied on political speculation to get up and was full of scum, and he destroyed the pattern of imperial politics, but there was nothing he could do about this man.

Durin, this is the opportunity!
