"All rise. The judges are invited to enter the courtroom."

"Report to the presiding judge, it is ready, the court can now start, and all sit down."

Seeing Wen Qiyu in a lawyer's robe standing up straight and sitting down calmly, Gu Yan felt his heart beating very fast.

Not because he was worried that Wen Qiyu would lose the lawsuit, but because——

His Ayu is so excellent.

When he saw Chen Zhan holding Wen Qiyu and crying through the monitor that day, Gu Yan felt both moved and a little sour.

I haven't hugged Ayu for a long time, how could you hug him away! (#‵′)

After leaving the detention center, Gu Yan accompanied Wen Qiyu to meet Wang Yiqing.

After investigation, Wang Yiqing and Chen Zhan were good friends, but because Wang Yiqing was addicted to drugs, he agreed to help Cui Yi in order to obtain a long-term supply of drugs, and betrayed his friend.

Compared with Chen Zhan, Wang Yiqing is a more staunch supporter of Cui Yi.

Gu Yan felt a little at a loss.

But Wen Qiyu didn't hesitate.

Gu Yan watched as Wen Qiyu personally went to Wang Yiqing's house to see his seriously ill mother, and brought Wang Yiqing the amulet his mother had asked for him.Tell Wang Yiqing that his mother is seriously ill and will die soon.The only last wish is for him to quit drugs.

When Wang Yiqing heard her mother's wish, she almost collapsed.

When Gu Yan thought that Wen Qiyu would continue to persuade him and hoped that he would change his testimony, Wen Qiyu just stood up silently and left without saying a word.

Later, when Gu Yan asked Wen Qiyu why, Wen Qiyu's answer made Gu Yan suddenly realize.

"When I met him for the first time, I felt that he was extremely disgusted with me—that is, the defendant's lawyer. To sway a witness, you must proceed step by step, and you can't act too hastily just because the trial is coming soon. Humans are not machines, and emotions are more subtle. So , you must hold your breath."

Wen Qiyu turned his head to look into Gu Yan's eyes.

"A small leak will sink a great ship."

Gu Yan will never forget the brilliance in Wen Qiyu's eyes at that moment.

Ayu, every look and movement of yours seems to be able to enter my heart.

"Plaintiff's attorney, please begin your statement."

Gu Yan's thoughts were pulled back by the majestic voice of the judge.

"The plaintiff Cui Yi was only carrying out the order of the defendant Chen Zhan. Cui Yi became addicted to drugs after being forced to inject drugs, and Chen Zhan used this method to make Cui Yi work for him all the time, and he was always hiding behind the scenes. According to Article 28 of the "Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates: For those who are coerced to participate in a crime, the punishment should be mitigated or exempted according to the circumstances of his crime. In this case, the plaintiff meets the two characteristics of a coerced criminal: first, subjectively Although the perpetrator knows that the act he committed is a joint crime, but from his heart, the perpetrator is unwilling or not completely willing to participate in the joint crime, and only participates in the joint crime because he is threatened by violence from others. The second is the objective Although the perpetrators participated in the joint crime, their criminal behavior was relatively passive and lacked initiative. Cui Yi was forced to inject drugs, so he had to serve Chen Zhan for drugs. If Cui Yi refused to obey Chen Zhan’s order Chen Zhan will imprison Cui Yi and torture him."

At this time, Cui Yi rubbed his eyes pretending to be sad.

People who watched the trial commented, "It's so pitiful!" "It's helpless to be persecuted!" Voices kept coming and going.

Gu Yan panicked.

He looked at Wen Qiyu who was sitting on the defendant's lawyer's seat.

Wen Qiyu was expressionless, and occasionally wrote a few words on the paper with a pen in his hand, taking his time and taking it easy.

Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

"The defendant's attorney speaks."

Wen Qiyu stood up slowly, straightened his loose black lawyer's robe, and said in a soft voice: "We object to all the plaintiff's statements."

Cui Yi, who was waiting for Chen Zhan to plead guilty, opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"The plaintiff's statement is contrary to the basic facts." Wen Qiyu continued, "Cui Yi is one of the famous gangsters in this city, and the defendant Chen Zhan is Cui Yi's younger brother. After Cui Yi's crime was revealed, he threatened Chen Zhan's family with their lives. , Chen Zhan was forced to agree to take the blame for Cui Yi."

"The plaintiff's tears are indeed worthy of sympathy," Wen Qiyu paused, his expression still calm, "but I hope that the respected presiding judge will not be swayed by sympathy, and I hope that you can follow the law and give justice to the defendant. Thank you."

Wen Qiyu bowed his head respectfully to the judge and sat down slowly.

The plaintiff's lawyer, that is, the mafia lawyer Chen Rensheng's face was very ugly.

He had heard that Wen Qiyu was difficult to deal with before, but he didn't expect to be confronted in this case.and--

Chen Rensheng examined Wen Qiyu's expression again.

There is no emotion to be seen.

Chen Rensheng was inexplicably agitated.He had a bad feeling that Wen Qiyu must have some evidence in his hand!However, people inside the court who bribed said that the defendant has not provided strong evidence.

Was it Wen Qiyu who decided to temporarily help Chen Zhan defend?

While Chen Rensheng was thinking, the witness Wang Yiqing had already appeared in court.

Chen Rensheng had no choice but to let go of his confused thoughts and face Wang Yiqing: "Witness, have you ever seen the defendant Chen Zhan and Cui Yi meet alone?"

"... seen."

Chen Zhan kept his head down, as if he was not surprised by the answer.

"Where is it, what is the specific situation?" Chen Rensheng finally relaxed.No witnesses didn't recant, that's fine.No matter how capable you Wen Qiyu is, without proof, nothing is useless.Chen Rensheng sneered.

"On the night of April 4th, I bumped into it once..." Wang Yiqing cleared his throat, his voice hesitated, "Cui Yi respected Chen Zhan, and Chen Zhan asked Cui Yi...to do one thing, Cui Yi said Could it be too cruel, Chen Zhan slapped Cui Yi at that time, and even asked people to teach him a lesson."

"What does Chen Zhan want Cui Yi to do?" Chen Rensheng methodically let the question go deeper and deeper, and his sophisticated expression was convincing.

"He... wants Cui Yi to arrest Lawyer Wen!" The voice became smaller and smaller.

"Which Lawyer Wen?"

Wang Yiqing raised his hand slowly, and pointed at Wen Qiyu hesitantly.

"I'm done asking my questions." Chen Rensheng glanced at Wen Qiyu proudly, and sat down.

Wen Qiyu, let's see what you do!
