Hearing Sima Qiqi say this, he was stunned for a moment, and the trial was reopened, and the judge looked at Zhuo Ao and asked slowly: "Plaintiff's lawyer, after fifteen minutes, have you discussed the corresponding result with the plaintiff?"

Sitting in the auditorium and looking at Zhuo Ao intently, Liao Shaoming and Nina didn't notice that their hands were clenched into fists at all, only to see Zhuo Ao slowly stand up, look at the judge, and then look at Sima Qiqi, and said slowly.

"Your Excellency, I am very grateful to the court for giving me enough time to discuss with the plaintiff before this, and after our fifteen minutes of discussion, the plaintiff has his own views on the development of the case, and the plaintiff has entrusted me to report to the judge."

When the judge heard Zhuo Ao say this, he nodded slightly, and Zhuo Ao said slowly: "Your Excellency, based on this trial and the questions raised by the defense lawyer, the plaintiff believes that there can be a reasonable explanation, so the plaintiff does not intend to withdraw the complaint, and we sincerely ask Your Excellency the judge to postpone the trial of this case, so that we can find new evidence to prove that the injured person's injuries were not due to personal reasons, but were caused by the defendant."

The judge quickly recorded what Zhuo Ao had said on paper.

After Zhuo Ao finished speaking, the judge raised his head and looked at Zhuo Ao and said, "What is the basis for the plaintiff's lawyer to agree to the plaintiff's entrustment claim?"

Zhuo Ao nodded at the judge and said slowly: "Your Excellency, although the defense lawyer proposed that there was a time gap of three seconds during the previous trial, but in our opinion, the old lady was not so much an accident that occurred in those three seconds, but it can also be considered that the old lady was hit before, but there was no situation at the beginning, and the defendant didn't care so he didn't stop, but the body of the old man is difficult to predict, maybe nothing happened when he was hit, but after three seconds, the old lady's body changed, We therefore agree that the Plaintiff will not drop the complaint. ”

The judge nodded, and then asked, "Plaintiff, since it was you who proposed to adjourn the case, this court has always thought that you would drop the complaint......

Zhuo Ao knew what the judge was talking about, smiled and said, "Your Excellency, please rest assured that the cost of this trial will be borne by our side."

When the judge heard Zhuo Ao say this, he turned his head to look at Sima Qiqi and said, "Defense lawyer, what is your opinion?"

Sima Qiqi stood up, glanced at Zhuo Ao coldly, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said: "Since the plaintiff is unwilling to withdraw the complaint, and the plaintiff's lawyer is willing to bear all the costs of this trial, we agree to postpone the case for retrial, but we also have requirements, my client is a college student, and the student's time is very precious, if the plaintiff cannot come up with substantial evidence to prove that the old lady's injury is related to my client next time, I ask the court to conclude the case with the benefit of doubt attributed to the defendant. It is impossible for my client to waste his time studying and participate in the trial endlessly. ”

Sima Qiqi nodded to the judge to thank him, and the judge did not answer Sima Qiqi immediately, but turned his head to look at Zhuo Ao, who seemed to want Zhuo Ao to answer Sima Qiqi's very sharp question.

Zhuo Ao

glanced at Sima Qiqi and said with a smile: "Well, what the defense lawyer said makes sense, so be it, if we can't provide enough evidence to prove that the old lady's injury is related to the defendant in the next trial, we will voluntarily withdraw the lawsuit, of course, the cost of the next trial will also be borne by our side, Your Excellency Judge."

As soon as Zhuo Ao finished speaking, the judge looked at Sima Qiqi and was about to ask, Sima Qiqi quickly stood up and looked at the judge with a smile and said: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency Judge, I have just negotiated with my client, and we have one more condition, please approve our proposal, thank you."

When the judge heard Sima Qiqi say that there was still one condition, his expression was slightly unhappy, and he said slowly: "Defense lawyer, please pay attention to your words."

Zhuo Ao stood up at this time and said slowly: "Your Excellency Judge, it's okay, please let the defense lawyer say it, I believe that the defense lawyer will not kick back and make too many demands, let's listen to it first."

When the judge heard Zhuo Ao say this, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he barely squeezed out a smile and looked at Sima Qiqi and said: "Then defense lawyer, please tell me about your conditions, since the plaintiff's lawyer doesn't care, I have no reason to stop you, but please be careful not to make excessive demands."

Sima Qiqi smiled slightly and thanked the judge and Zhuo Ao.

"Our conditions are actually very simple, add one more to the previous conditions, if the plaintiff withdraws the lawsuit in the next trial, then ask the plaintiff to publicly apologize to our client in newspapers and on the Internet, and restore my client's reputation. That's not too much, isn't it? ”

After Sima Qiqi finished speaking, he looked at the judge and Zhuo Ao who were sitting, and the judge also turned his head to look at Zhuo Ao at this time, Zhuo Ao clasped his hands to his chest, and noticed that everyone was waiting for his answer, Zhuo Ao smiled slightly and slowly stood up.

At this time, I felt that my heart was inexplicably driven by the seemingly ordinary but tense atmosphere of the scene, and I felt that my heartbeat was significantly accelerated, and I saw Zhuo Ao's mouth move. Hearing Zhuo Ao's words, the little heart that was about to jump out of his throat quieted down again.

"Defense lawyer, the plaintiff's lawyer has agreed to your terms, do you still have any questions?"

The judge looked at Sima Qiqi and asked.

Sima Qiqi smiled bitterly and nodded slowly.

Sima Qiqi thought to himself: "This Zhuo Ao is determined to continue this case, what evidence can he find, with his means, this evidence should have been found a long time ago, does he want to find eyewitnesses to testify, it is impossible, it is impossible, the scene is so chaotic, it is impossible for eyewitnesses to see this sudden accident."

The judge asked Zhuo Ao how much time it would take to re-investigate, Zhuo Ao stood up and said with a very relaxed expression: "Your Excellency, based on the fact that this case is a sudden accident, I think although there are many people around the bus stop, but because the situation came too suddenly, I don't think many people will notice the whole process of the accident, based on this, I think the investigation will take a little longer, please give us a week to investigate, thank you."

Zhuo Ao sat back in his place, Judge

Picked up the calendar and looked at it, counted the days, and said slowly: "One week, if you don't count today, that is the seventh day of this month, next Thursday, is there a problem with the lawyers on both sides?"

The judge looked up at Sima Qiqi and Zhuo Ao to ask for their opinions, Zhuo Ao stood up and said very respectfully: "Your Excellency, our side has no opinion."

The judge nodded, looking at Sima Qiqi's side, Sima Qiqi stood up and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, our side has a little problem."

When the judge heard Sima Qiqi say this, he asked with a puzzled face, "Is the defense lawyer not available next Thursday?"

Sima Qiqi shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not me, it's my client, my client just told me that she was going to participate in a large-scale event organized by the school next Thursday, because the activity was proposed last month, so my client is not good to change the time, please forgive Your Excellency the judge."

Sima Qiqi said and bowed deeply to the judge, and when the judge heard Sima Qiqi say this, he said slowly: "Since the large-scale activities of the school have been planned in advance, we cannot ask others to give up the activities of the school in order to participate in the trial, and the main identity of the defendant is still a college student."

The judge said, looked at Zhuo Ao again, Zhuo Ao knew that the judge kicked the ball to him again, smiled slightly, shrugged his shoulders, slowly stood up and said: "Your Excellency, you want to spend a week on the investigation, please don't shorten the time."

The judge nodded slowly and looked at Sima Qiqi, Sima Qiqi glanced at Zhuo Ao and at Li Xiaona who was sitting beside her, Sima Qiqi changed his body and said, "Your Excellency, if you can, I hope that the trial time will be on the 8th or the next week."

After Sima Qiqi finished speaking, he looked at the judge and Zhuo Ao, the expression on Zhuo Ao's face did not change much, and the judge was looking at the relevant documents to see when this court was empty.

"And how about the 12th of this month?"

The judge asked Sima Qiqi and Zhuo Ao again, Zhuo Ao nodded, Sima Qiqi also looked at Li Xiaona for advice, Li Xiaona nodded slowly, Sima Qiqi also replied that there was no problem, the judge recorded the time of the second trial on paper, announced to everyone that the case was postponed for retrial, and told everyone the time of the second trial, and finally announced the withdrawal from the courtroom.

Walking out of the courtroom, Sima Qi Qi and Li Xiaona met with the other three, and the five of them were about to leave the court, when they heard a very annoying voice, the five of them followed the sound and looked over, Zhuo Ao slowly walked towards Sima Qiqi and the others with a big belly, Li Xiaona seemed to be afraid of Zhuo Ao, and hurriedly hid behind Nina and Liao Shaoming.

Blocking between Sima Qiqi and Zhuo Ao, I don't know if Zhuo Ao did it on purpose or if his stomach was too big, so he hit it directly and almost didn't stand firm.

"Zhuo Dazhuo, I'm in such a good mood because this case has to continue to be tried, is your money counted?"

Sima Qiqi teased Zhuo Ao in a weird manner, Zhuo Ao smiled and said: "Lawyer Sima is really good at joking, this plaintiff I want Lawyer Sima."

I've also investigated, but he doesn't have any money, and I'm doing this entirely for the sake of justice. ”

Hearing Zhuo Ao say the word "righteousness", he almost didn't choke to death with saliva, and looked at Zhuo Ao in surprise.

Sima Qiqi smiled slightly and said slowly: "Zhuo Daxue, I have basically overturned your evidence in court, I don't know where you got the courage to accept the plaintiff's entrustment and continue this case, of course, the final result will not change, my client is not guilty."

Zhuo Ao heard Sima Qiqi say this, and did not answer immediately, turned around and left, Sima Qiqi did not pay attention to Zhuo Ao, but he did not expect Zhuo Ao to walk a distance, turned back at Sima Qiqi and said: "Lawyer Sima, the arrogant army will be defeated, maybe God sees that I am so enthusiastic about justice, reward me with a witness!"
