There was a sea of people outside the courthouse, and a group of reporters were also waiting there early, looking forward to it.

"Is there really such a lack of news lately?" Hannah was unaccustomed to the crowds, and with the exception of Jack, she still resisted physical contact with most men.

Jack recalled that if it hadn't been for the epidemic that had lasted for several years in the original world, it seemed that this year's Ami would not have had big news until the end of the year, after all, the presidential campaign would not start until the end of the year.

In other words, there will be a lot of scandals in the second half of the year, and not long ago, there was a case of violent law enforcement in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The death of an African-American drug dealer and former robber named George Floyd in the course of law enforcement sparked some protests and clashes, but not a big deal.

After all, they are two different worlds, and Jack was secretly glad when he saw the news on the Internet, maybe Ami in this world will have a day sooner or later, but for himself as a law enforcement officer, the later that day comes, the better.

After passing through the security check and showing their documents, the two entered the courtroom smoothly, and when Jack was habitually looking for a vacant seat in the back row, he was surprised to see the old Hunter couple sitting in the middle, and the two were waving at them with a smile.

Next to Hunter and Dee Dee sat reporters Dupri, Wesley, and the bald Frank.

"Why are you all here?" Jack was a little puzzled, leaned up and asked in a low voice, shouldn't they be busy rescuing Joe Masson at this time?

"The lawyer Wesley helped find was the plaintiff's lawyer, so we came over to 'investigate' first." Dee Dee and Hannah put their faces on each other, and then explained in the same whisper.

Jack looked at it curiously, and there were two white men in suits and leather shoes sitting in the plaintiff's seat, because they were both facing away from each other, and their faces could not be seen clearly, one of them should be middle-aged, and the other was very young, and seemed to be middle-aged assistants.

"That's the best lawyer at Pearson Spector's Law Firm, Harvey Spector." Wesley whispered.

Jack was slightly stunned, whether it was the name of this law firm or the name of this lawyer, how could it be so familiar.

At this time, the young man in it exchanged a few words with the middle-aged man, tsk, Jack suddenly thought in his heart, this is not Mike Ross, then the other must be Harvey Spector, he still chased two seasons of "Suits".

Jack looked at Uncle Cage sitting in the dock again, tsk, he looks really young, this Uncle Cage who is at most 30 years old is so handsome that he is about to catch up with himself.

The innocent and lovely Miss Yi Fang I saw yesterday sat on Uncle Cage's left hand, and his right hand position was the defendant lawyer, a passerby-faced old man.

Jack sighed secretly, there was no suspense in this lawsuit.

With the jury and judge in attendance, the trial officially began, and the divorce case, which has attracted much attention in New York, is now in its third session, and according to the usual procedure, it is almost the last.

At the judge's request, Uncle Cage, or Charlie Land, was invited to the witness stand, and after taking an oath on his Bible, he began to be questioned by the plaintiff's lawyer.

Harvey Spector straightened his tie and left the plaintiff's bench to walk in front of Charlie.

"Excuse me, did you force your wife to make the offer to share the prize with Miss Biassi in the first place?"

Similar to this kind of question, the lawyer must have rehearsed with Charlie before going to court, and he was expressionless and tried to answer in a calm tone.

"I'm just saying we should do the right thing."

Harvey Spector blinked and moved on to the next question, "Mr. Lan, were you carrying a gun at the time?" ”

"When"

"Objections, leading questions, Charlie is a cop."

Just as Charlie was about to blurt out an answer, his lawyer stood up in time.

"The opposition is valid. Plaintiff's lawyer, please pay attention to the way you ask questions. The high judge struck the hammer and motioned to continue.

Jack looked frightened when he saw Charlie's rather old defense lawyer sitting back almost with his heart clutched.

As long as Charlie answered of course, even if he immediately added that he had just arrived home and had not had time to put away his pistol, it would leave a psychological hint to the jury.

His wife had only agreed to share the money under some kind of threat.

"This lawyer is too cunning." Hannah apparently understood, and muttered something to the side.

After a barrage of questions that didn't give him much nutrition, Harvey Spector suddenly had a question.

"So, Mr. Lan, have you ever done anything to your wife in your marriage and daily life over the years?"

"Of course not, never." Charlie shook his head and replied in the affirmative, word for word.

"You've sworn it, Mr. Lan." Harvey Spector interrupted him abruptly and loudly.

Charlie hesitated at this time, "Well, I once grabbed her arm and tried to stop her."

"I have no further questions, Your Honor." Harvey Spector didn't wait for him to finish, then turned to the judge.

"What a wonderful little trick." Wesley whispered in admiration, but was angrily knocked on the head by Aunt Dee Dee next to him.

Then, amid the buzz below, Ivon Biassi was called to the witness stand.

Harvey Spector stepped forward again, walked up to the poor Yifang, was slightly stunned, and then looked back at Muriel Lan in the plaintiff's seat, with a somewhat strange expression.

"Ahem!" Mike Ross, an assistant who was also sitting in the plaintiff's seat, coughed vigorously to remind his boss to come back to his senses.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Bisya, could you please describe your financial situation before Mr. Lan gave you half of the bonus."

"I'm trying to break even, but it's not ideal." Yfonne didn't speak loudly, as if she had been a different person compared to the way she had been busy in the coffee shop yesterday.

Harvey asked as he shrugged and turned in the direction of the jury.

"So it's true that you still owe $12,000 on your credit card at the time, right?"

"That's what my ex-husband owes, and he took my credit card at the time," Yvon quickly explained, but was immediately interrupted by Harvey.

"Just answer yes or no."

Evon was obviously smarter than honest Charlie, and she tried to use tactful words as much as she could, "Theoretically, yes, but I've never used that money." ”

"So, on the same day you went bankrupt, Mr. Lan showed up at that coffee shop and promised to give you half of the bonus, right?" Harvey continued to ask.

Yi Fang took a deep breath and glanced at Charlie in the dock, "Yes, but it was just a coincidence. ”

"Ha, coincidence." Harvey nodded, in an odd tone.

"Yes, coincidence." Yi Fang barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

"Excuse me, then." Harvey stepped forward and walked up to her, clasping his hands together on his chest, "What is the relationship between you when Mr. Lan offers to split half of the prize money after winning the lottery?" ”

"It didn't matter, it was the second time we met, and he took the initiative to come to the coffee shop and find me." Yvon looked at the position of the jury, trying to make her sincerity feel by these people.

However, it was in vain, as Harvey's next question put her in a dilemma.

"So, could you please describe your current relationship with Mr. Lan?"

Yi Fang hesitated for a long time, her lips pursed, and finally she mustered up the courage to confess in court, "I love him more than anything in the world." ”

The buzz of the people in the courtroom sounded again, and the judge had to bang the wooden hammer in his hand.

"Oh, I like this girl." Aunt Didi crossed her fingers with both hands, clenched them into a ball, and pressed her chin against her chin, looking like she was knocking on her head.

Hannah also looked like a star-eyed person, and several men around her rolled their eyes in unison, this lawsuit can't be fought, and it's a sure thing to lose.

Sure enough, Harvey directly clicked the death hole, "So that day you ran to the hotel to go on a date with him, which was the one photographed by reporters, which is why he left his wife." ”

"No, the two have nothing to do with each other." The defense lawyer stood up again and objected.

"That's motivation." Harvey retorted with a blank face.

"What the hell is the motive? Charlie was kicked out of the house by his wife at the time, and the marriage had come to an end."

The defense lawyer angrily tried to refute, but the judge's objection was invalid.

However, Yi Fang came to her senses, she looked very angry, but she still spoke in a soft and glutinous tone.

"If you want to imply that I'm a."

"Ms. Biassi!" The judge cautioned her that now was not the time for her to speak.

"Your Excellency, he's trying to make me feel like a." She paused, but couldn't get a word out of her mind.

"Liar, this man, and those media!"

"Ms. Biassi, please keep your emotions in check." At the critical moment, it was Harvey, as the prosecution's lawyer, who spoke up in time to cover up her behavior, which was likely to be judged as contempt of court.

"I've been working hard to get out of the misfortune that my ex-husband has brought me, and I've finally met this luck unexpectedly.

I met a kind, loving, and upright man, who changed my life, and it was definitely not a matter of money, it was he who made me believe in the goodness of human nature again, and I will not allow you to distort our relationship here and scandalize this relationship. ”

Speaking of this, Yi Fang was already in tears.

Harvey was silent for a long time, and asked sullenly, "Were you divorced at that time?" ”

Yi Fang was stunned, looking around a little confused.

In the dock, the thin-haired defense lawyer looked pained, as if he had foreseen the end.

Charlie, who was next to the lawyer, had been out of the world since she confessed in court before, always looking demented, with a fascinated smile on her face, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Yi Fang obviously understood that she had fallen into the trap laid by the other party, and finally hung her shoulders in despair.

"Nope!"

There was an uproar in the courtroom, and the judge struck the hammer several times and shouted silence before the discussion was silenced.

Don't talk about me anymore, I worked diligently for a month before I cheekily begged for a monthly pass, and I still have to talk about me, alas
