68. Vulnerable
Zhang Xuan is still the first time he has seen the courtroom when it is in session, although he has seen the courtroom on TV before, but it is TV after all, which is different from reality.
At least in reality, Zhang Xuan didn't see the white wig with curly hair.
This made Zhang Xuan quite disappointed, and he couldn't help but underestimate it for a while.
Father James couldn't help but laugh and said, "I still know about this, so let me tell you." ”
Originally originating in the 18th century, ponytail wigs and robes have long been symbols of the British justice system. It has nothing to do with the United States at all.
Although the United States was once a British colony, people have won the Revolutionary War, so naturally they will not wear any wigs.
Only the court system in the UK and a handful of countries now maintains this custom. Historically, the lawyer's black robe dates back to 1685, when it was used to mourn the death of Charles II.
The use of wigs began in the early 18th century, when wearing wigs was a fashionable attire in European society, and only high-ranking people such as dignitaries, princes and nobles, judges and lawyers could wear wigs, and since then it has gradually become a trend.
The style of the wig used in the current court was designed in 1822.
At present, there are two main styles of court wigs, one is a long wig that reaches up to the shoulder, which is worn at grand events and ceremonial occasions, and the other is a short wig that only covers the top of the head, which is worn in the courtroom in ordinary times.
The court under this decoration gives people a very solemn and ceremonial feeling. It is said that when judges put on black robes and wigs, they can hide their true colors, get rid of selfish distractions, become the embodiment of the rule of law, and handle cases fairly and impartially...
Zhang Xuan thought about it for a while, and it seemed that the wigs he saw on TV would only appear in Hong Kong dramas.
Hong Kong was once one of the British colonies.
The tradition of "one country, two systems" is still maintained.
At the same time that Zhang Xuan suddenly realized, the debate in the court began to become intense.
There was a heated debate between the two sides over whether Villelet killed someone, and Villeret's lawyer argued that Villelet did not kill people at all, and everything was slandered by the other party.
And he asked the other party to come up with sufficient evidence and motive for killing.
Wellett's lawyer is a middle-aged man of about forty years old, slightly fat, wearing glasses, with a serious face, I heard that he is a very famous barrister, who has fought many lawsuits, and has not had a few chances of losing.
The win rate is around 95 percent.
In the face of such a winning barrister, Robert was very indifferent and said: "Let's not mention the evidence first, let me talk about the motive for the killing." I believe everyone knows that Nicholas and Willett are a pair of brother and sister, both Hollywood stars, but one is a superstar, and the other is a vase, so this is the beginning of the contradiction between the two......"
Immediately afterward, Robert explained in detail the motives for Villeret's killing.
When Zhang Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but wonder.
Because the motive for the murder that Robert said was exactly the same as what Zhang Xuan said to them, and even didn't change a word, it's really embarrassing that this guy can memorize this passage.
After hearing this, Willet's lawyer couldn't help but say: "Your Excellency, this is exactly what Mr. Robert said, and it is not credible at all, this theory is not tenable at all, and it is completely his imagination......"
Before he could finish speaking, Robert interrupted: "Isn't it my thoughts, don't you know without looking at Willett's expression?"
The lawyer not only turned his head to look at Villeret, but found that the other party's face was as usual, and there seemed to be no change.
"Of course I can't see it now, but when I told me about the motive for the killing, Miss Villeret's expression seemed ugly, and I'm sure many of you saw it. ”
Robert said confidently, "If you don't want to believe it, it's okay, we can also adjust the monitoring." ”
The lawyer said expressionlessly: "No matter who it is, if you are slandered, you will naturally be sad." ”
But she was scared. ”
"It doesn't mean anything, and it can't even be used as evidence. ”
"Then I'll show the evidence. "The proof is the ring she wears on her finger." ”
The lawyer pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "I have also heard about this evidence, and you psychics seem to think that there is a murderous spirit inside the ring in Miss Villette's hand?"
"Of course. Robert said.
"So, you want to summon the wraiths on the spot?"
"If you can. ”
"Then can you tell me whether the summoned evil spirit came out of the ring or from somewhere else, after all, we ordinary people can't see where the evil spirit comes from with our own eyes. ”
The lawyer sneered coldly: "As far as I know, your psychic reputation is not very good, relying on your own unique ability, often play tricks on ordinary people, especially that Lady Add, if there is evidence, I can even let her go to prison until she dies in prison." ”
Robert said, "In that case, why don't we do a little experiment?"
"What a small experiment. The lawyer's brow furrowed slightly.
Robert said: "This is a little experiment I got from my companions, and I have prepared the equipment for the experiment, and of course, if you don't agree, take a little time, and prepare the equipment, not a precious item, but mercury." ”
"What do you want to do?" the lawyer had a headache, and this kind of professional scope was the last thing he wanted to face.
Robert smiled confidently and said: "Many people know mercury, the scientific name is mercury, a chemical element, the eightieth place on the periodic table, but most people don't know that mercury has a long history of use and is very versatile. In medieval alchemy, it was called alchemy with sulfur and salt. ”
After a pause, he continued: "Mercury is a poison not only for people, but even for evil spirits. It can even be said to be highly toxic. ”
"Ordinary rings that fall into mercury will not have any reaction, but rings containing evil spirits are different, once this kind of ring is thrown into mercury, it is like being thrown into a poisonous area, and it will definitely produce a violent reaction. It will even explode with a bang. ”
When Willett heard this, her face couldn't help but change slightly.
Robert said, "Now, can I do a little experiment?"
The lawyer was a little embarrassed and wanted to refuse, but the judge was very interested, but he had to think about the people present, and couldn't help asking, "Robert, can you guarantee the safety of the people at the scene?"
Robert said: "Of course you can, I can let my partner protect you on the side, I believe everyone also knows, his strength, after all, you have all seen that video, no matter how fierce the evil spirit, in his hands, it is still vulnerable." ”
