Vol 2 Chapter 254: Final verdict

Chapter 254 Final Judgment

Soon after Abby left, Ron and Tom came in.

"Mr. Lin, what's the matter, Ms. Abby left with a thoughtful look. Is she willing to be your witness?" Ron asked.

"Should be 70% certain." Since Abby first came here, he was angry and disdainful of him, but in the meditation when he left, Lin Feng believed that his flicker had already worked.

"Well, let's first find a few authoritative figures in the financial industry to prove that Abby's prediction is an authority in the financial industry." Ron said.

"Yep."

When Lin Feng was worried about whether Abby would agree, Wang Meng also rushed to Washington.

"Zheng Zha, what is going on with Lin Feng's money?" Wang Meng asked. The most deadly thing to Lin Feng now is the US$700 million futures (which has been frozen by the US government).

"Instructor, I don't know. The boss asked me to buy it." Zheng Zha said helplessly.

"He didn't say the reason?" Wang Meng frowned and asked.

"No, he said he would definitely fall." Zheng Zha was even more depressed.

"Well, don't care about this for now. Who of you believes in Lin Feng?" Wang Meng asked.

Everyone glanced at each other and nodded to express their belief.

"Well, if the court pronounces Lin Feng guilty, I'm afraid it will be the death penalty (electric chair). At that time, we will rob him. Li Rui, you are responsible for arranging the vehicles, Zhou Bo, you are responsible for manufacturing the relevant ID cards, and Feng Jun, you are responsible for surveying the terrain. Others People and I will prepare guns." Wang Meng decided that once the US government convicted Lin Feng, he would save Lin Feng at any cost. As for the final hiding place, Wang Meng also thought about it-Africa.

In Africa, Wang Meng couldn't be more familiar with that. In the vast grasslands of Africa, there are no more than 100,000 troops to encircle and suppress. Don't try to catch yourself and others in Africa.

Abby did not return to New York, but found a hotel near Washington to stay. Lin Feng's words were too mysterious, but they were too conclusive, and Abby decided to look up some information.

The first thing Abby checked was King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty, as well as the Taishi Bigan, everything was just as Lin Feng said. Later, Abby probably looked at the list of the gods, and all it said exceeded her imagination. As for the Zhouyi mentioned by Lin Feng, Abby also studied carefully for one night, looking dizzy, the content inside is too esoteric, I am afraid that it is impossible to study it in ten or twenty years. But this also made Abby believe Lin Feng a little bit.

At the same time, Abby also inquired that Zhouyi, like Tarot divination, is extremely popular in many countries around the world. You must be accurate, obviously a bit too mysterious. But it is not accurate, but what many fortunetellers predict is extremely accurate. Moreover, Lin Feng said that he is the 134th generation grandson of Taishi Bigan. It is not impossible for such an ancient family to inherit certain mysterious divination techniques.

Obviously, Abby was confused by Lin Feng's grandmaster Bigan's 134th generation grandson. She believes that it is impossible for Chinese to lie with their ancestors, so she did not consider Lin Feng to lie to her on this matter, and it was destined that this Wall Street myth was deceived by Lin Feng.

Then Abby inquired about countries sanctioned by the United Nations in Africa. Abby searched and searched, and found a country that met Lin Feng's conditions-Sudan.

In August 1993, due to the long-term inability of the Sudanese government to repay the huge loan to the International Monetary Fund, the United Nations rejected the right to vote and listed it as an insolvent country and unsuitable to provide loans. However, with the reform of the Sudanese government in recent years, the economy has recovered on a large scale, and it seems that the United Nations may lift its sanctions.

Abby was sure that what Lin Feng had predicted was Sudan. But is Lin Feng prophesying or is he obtained from a large amount of information beforehand? Abby could not be sure. There is no excuse for being too eloquent in any way.

But the next day, after Abby got a piece of news, he made up his mind to panic this time, proving that Lin Feng had followed his advice and bought the futures. Because on the morning of September 28, * broadcasted the UN declaration of lifting the sanctions on Sudan.

Abby asked himself that he couldn't guess when the UN would lift Sudan's sanctions, but Lin Feng was sure that it would be in these few days. Except for prediction, there is no other possibility. Besides, Abby had also thought about it carefully, it is impossible that Lin Feng was a conspirator planning a terrorist attack. Indeed, as Tom said, no planner, with a net worth of 1 billion US dollars, is so young to plan and personally carry out such a frenzied terrorist attack.

"I'm glad you can testify for my client. Now we will simulate the court proceedings." Ron was very happy that Abby was able to testify for Lin Feng. As for whether it is perjury, for Ron, he believes in "procedural justice." He will not ask, nor will he guess. It will only try to make Abby's testimony impeccable.

Abby just smiled. She was willing to give false testimony for Lin Feng this time. In addition to being curious about Lin Feng’s prediction of the future, she has carefully analyzed that Lin Feng is by no means a terrorist. She can only say that the timing of his purchase was indeed too coincidental, causing it. Everyone misunderstood, but his reason could not be made public. And Lin Feng saved her and her daughter after all, so she felt that she should also repay her.

Of course, the "fact" that Lin Feng is the 134th generation grandson of Taishi Bigan also puts a lot of pressure on Abby, and she doesn't want such an ancient family to be extinct because of the divination techniques handed down since ancient times.

In the past two days, Tom went to find relevant financial experts to prove Abby’s authority, and Ron began to appear on talk shows on major TV stations to express his views on Lin Feng’s case. In the show, Ron was very skillful in telling the American audience about Lin Feng's achievements in China, and let the Americans know and understand Lin Feng. Although this is of little practical help for the actual sentencing. But Ron is convinced that the jury is also human. Although the jury will not watch this kind of show, the jury also has family members. As long as they believe in Lin Feng, even if there is only that little, they will be able to play a decisive role in the final judgment.

I have to say that Ron's show has changed many Americans' views of Lin Feng. A 21-year-old young rich man really has no reason to commit such a senseless terrorist attack. Although the purchase of the US$90 million futures index cannot be explained, at least some Americans no longer blindly reprimand Lin Feng, and the court found Lin Feng to be a terrorist without a verdict.

In just three days, an instant passed. It was the day when Lin Feng went to court again. It is still live broadcast worldwide, but this time according to statistics, more than 1.5 billion people worldwide will watch the live broadcast.

After the judge announced the opening of the trial, the prosecution still showed evidence that this deadly Lin Feng purchased a US$90 million futures index, which pierced Lin Feng's vitals.

"Mr. Lin, may I ask for what reason you bought 90 million US dollars of futures and made a profit of 700 million US dollars. Is it because you are the planner of the September 11 terrorist attack?" Thomas asked.

"Protest, I protest the prosecution's unfounded speculation." Tom immediately stood up to protest.

"The protest is effective, the prosecution please pay attention to the words. But the defendant must answer truthfully." The judge said.

Lin Feng smiled slightly, showing a confident smile to everyone.

"This gentleman, if I said I bought it because I followed someone's suggestion, do you believe it?" Lin Feng said.

The audience was in an uproar, and no one expected Lin Feng to say so.

"Who suggested it?" Thomas asked immediately.

"Your Excellency, the person on the cover of this financial magazine, known as the Wall Street myth-Abby Cohen." Tom immediately handed over an American financial magazine.

Thomas took a look and sneered.

"Mr. Lin, based on what one person said, you are so convinced that you spent all $90 million in buying futures. It's unbelievable." Thomas sarcastically said, "You jury, do you believe it? You will do this. Would it be easy to believe a person’s prediction and use $90 million to buy futures?"

After speaking, Thomas sat down. Looking at the face of the jury just now, Thomas knew that the jury did not believe what Lin Feng said. He doesn't need to cross-examine any more.

"Please reply," the judge said calmly.

"The jury, indeed, as the prosecution lawyer said, listening to only one person’s prediction, buying the futures index for $90 million is really incredible. But the problem is that it’s not someone else who said this. It is called Wall Street myth. Abby Cohen." Tom turned the magazine to the page where Cohen was interviewed.

Tom brought the first witness, Abby Cohen, to court.

"Ms. Abby, have you ever suggested that Lin Feng buy US stock index futures?" Tom asked.

"Yes, I remember. I happened to meet Lin Feng in Los Angeles. He asked me what I thought about the future of the US stock market, and I gave him a word or two. Unexpectedly, he was a foreigner who believed in me so much. I'm so honored!" Than calmly said.

"Why can you predict that the US stock market will fall again?" Tom asked.

"This is my major. I rely on various data analysis, so I boldly predicted." Abby said.

"Your Excellency, this is the financial event predicted by Ms. Abby. Up to now, almost all have been fulfilled." Tom presented the collected events predicted by Abby to the court.

The judge read it and gave it to the prosecution.

After reading it, Thomas frowned. He had already guessed how Tom was going to have an innocence debate.

"Mr. Lin Feng, why do you believe in Ms. Abby Cohen so much?" Tom asked Lin Feng.

"Because American magazines say that she is an American Wall Street myth, and the predictions are absolutely accurate, why don't I believe it?" Lin Feng said.

"Okay, your Excellency, I have no problem. But I want to say that if this hero who saved 267 lives bought a $90 million futures index for believing in the prophecies of our American Wall Street myths and was sentenced to terror Attack the planner, isn't this too ridiculous!" Tom said.

The prosecution lawyer Thomas sneered and got up.

"Ms. Abby, must your prediction be accurate?" Thomas asked.

"Your Excellency, I have a certificate from 13 financial authorities on Wall Street in the United States. They can prove that Ms. Abby's financial sensitivity is something that no one else has. Almost 98% of her predictions will be fulfilled." Tom got up and handed a copy of it. Prepared data report.

Thomas frowned even more after reading it.

"Ms. Abby, if your prediction is so accurate, why didn't you make a fortune with your assets of only 7.8 million US dollars?" Thomas pierced his weakness.

"Because I am just an analyst. If I invest myself in this way, it will inevitably affect my professional judgment. This is what every financial analyst tries to avoid. There is an old Chinese saying that doctors do not heal themselves. "Abby said.

Thomas frowned.

"Then do you believe that someone would blindly invest $90 million just because they met and followed your casual advice?" Thomas asked tricky.

"No, against the prosecution's unfounded speculation." Tom immediately stood up and protested.

Thomas smiled to himself and wondered if he had stabbed Tom in the underbelly.

"The objection is invalid, but the witness may not answer." The judge said.

"Your Excellency, I think I can answer this question." Abby said confidently, "I have done hundreds of analyses for clients in the past 18 years. In my early days, there were companies that failed to invest because of my analysis, even leading to They went bankrupt. But in the later period of my analysis, my analysis can bring huge profits to the customers. Although 90 million US dollars is a bit too much, it is not impossible. Besides, I am not talking casually, but based on my 18 years of experience in the industry. Prediction." Abby replied affirmatively.

"Your Excellency, here is a business report of Ms. Abby's current job at Goldman Sachs. The data above proves that Ms. Abby's analysis followed Ms. Abby's analysis and investment. In the past year, there were 178 clients, involving funds of 120 million US dollars. ." Tom showed evidence at this time. His protest just now was just a means to interfere with Thomas' logic.

Thomas glanced at Tom.

After a quarrel, the two sides started a fierce debate about Lin Feng's $90 million purchase of futures because of a magazine.

"Okay, now I invite the prosecution to make a closing statement." The judge announced.

"Dear jury, what is the concept of 90 million dollars? I think most of you, including me, have never seen such a large amount of banknotes. I am a first-level prosecutor of the Ministry of Justice. , A year’s salary is 250,000 U.S. dollars, but I have to work 360 years to earn 90 million U.S. dollars, and I am already a good-earning American. The defendant only listened to a financial analyst’s casual stance while drinking coffee. In one word, he invested 90 million in U.S. stock index futures and bought them all, buying this kind of futures that are very likely to lose no penny. And in just over ten days, he made 700 million US dollars. This is nothing short of it. Fantastic nights. If the defendant has no contact with the terrorist attacker, how can it be so accurate? The terrorist attack happened on the third day of the purchase. Therefore, I beg the jury to convict the defendant!” Thomas just issued a closing statement abruptly.

After Thomas sat down, Tom got up and smiled.

"My jury, before you decide whether my client is guilty or not guilty, I would like to state the background of my client again. My client is just 21 years old this year and graduated from high school at the age of 19. He chose to start his own business because of his poor family. Relying on the $3,500 borrowed from my parents to open the first Internet cafe, along the way, two years later, my client has created a net worth of $1 billion with his own ingenuity and keen sense of business opportunities, becoming the largest in mainland China. The youngest richest man."

When Tom said this, he paused slightly, waiting for the jury to digest his words, but also to let the jury enter the background of the story he told.

"My jury, I believe that you also have children, and they should be about the same age as my client. Please look at my client. He is only 21 years old. Is he the kind of crazy terrorist? Just ask the youngest 21-year-old. The richest man, under the infinitely beautiful future life, is there any reason to commit a suicide terrorist attack that almost killed himself? What reason does he have to do so. Another point is that my client does not know how to fly a plane. As for my client, he does not know how to fly a plane. Spend 90 million US dollars to invest in futures. I can only say one thing. He believes too much in our American Wall Street myth-Ms. Abby, so my client made such a bold investment. Fortunately, he was lucky. No, I should say Abby. Ms. Cohen’s predictions were accurate, and my client made a lot of money. But I would like to ask, just because my client believes too much in the Wall Street myth—Ms. Abby, and happens to make a lot of money, can I be found guilty of my client’s guilt? ? Therefore, I implore the jury to rule that my client is not guilty!"

Tom bowed deeply and sat down.

Ron secretly gave a thumbs up, and Tom's closing statement was undoubtedly perfect, starting from human nature. After all, the jury is also human.

"Adjournment for 30 minutes." The judge announced the adjournment, and the jury began to discuss the final conclusion.

Lin Feng let out a long sigh. Whether I can pass this time depends on these 30 minutes. This time I was too careless, that's why I had this catastrophe. But this time is not without gain, at least I met Prince William, **** Jessica, and Abby Cohen. Lin Feng is feeling that the company is a little confused in the future, and he can invite Abby to become his chief financial adviser.

For half an hour, those who supported Lin Feng were suffering, and those who hated Lin Feng were looking forward to it.

Wang Meng has entered the court and arranged everything. If Lin Feng is really found guilty, he will prepare to take Lin Feng away while he is being escorted.

After half an hour, the judge and the jury were all seated.

"Can the jury have a result?" The judge gave an order, and the jury handed over the final verdict.

The judge looked at the final ruling, looked at Lin Feng, and suddenly asked, "Defendant, I want to ask you one last thing, why did you buy futures for US$90 million? Of course, you don't have to answer. It's just that I am personally curious."

Lin Feng smiled.

"Your Excellency, it's actually very simple. The U.S. stock market has been falling. Since Wall Street mythology predicts that it will continue to fall, I just have money in my hands, so I naturally have to take a gamble. I lose, but I just don’t have liquidity. It hurts my vitality. If I win, my company can grow faster. What's more, I am very young, only 21 years old!" Lin Feng said.

Everyone was stunned. However, this reason is indeed impeccable, and at most Lin Feng would be criticized-young and frivolous.

The judge nodded, looked at the verdict in his hand, and read slowly, "After a jury verdict, the defendant Lin Feng was unanimously found guilty of planning a terrorist attack—not convicted, and released in court!

Someone scolded, somebody carnival!
