Chapter 19: Lawyer Li appears! The situation becomes increasingly tense!

In the witness stand.

An Hui did not dare to look up at Xu Hao.

Nor did she dare to speak casually.

She just kept her head down.

She just turned her head and glanced at the audience from time to time.

It seemed that she wanted to get some hints from the audience.

Behind the audience.

A man in a suit and glasses sat in the back row.

He nodded slightly in the direction of the witness stand.

As if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

A ray of light flashed in An Hui's eyes again.

She suddenly raised her head and looked at Xu Hao with a sinister look.

"Prosecutor Xu, let my lawyer answer these questions for you."

Then, she shouted loudly to the trial bench.

"Judge, I request the presence of a lawyer!"

"For the next questioning, I require that my lawyer must be present."

This startled Xu Hao.

Lawyer? She wants to hire a lawyer?

Not only Xu Hao, but everyone present was shocked by An Hui's voice.

What does it mean?

Did she still want to hire a lawyer on the spot?

The presiding judge Zhou Jie hesitated for a moment.

Obviously, he did not react at the first time.

But he quickly sorted out his thoughts and said.

"Ms. An Hui, if your lawyer can arrive within five minutes, I can agree to your request."

Obviously, it is now in the process of trial.

The presiding judge cannot give time for his lawyer to rush over from other places.

The only possibility is that there is a lawyer among the audience.

And An Hui must reach a commission relationship with the lawyer on the spot within a few minutes.

It is easy to imagine.

The probability of this kind of thing being successful is extremely small.

For a moment, the whole audience could not help but sigh.

An Hui nodded and glanced at the audience.

"No need."

"My lawyer is on the spot."

"Lawyer Li, thank you for your hard work!"

At this moment.

Everyone's head exploded.

In countless incredible eyes.

A tall, well-dressed figure stood up from the back row.

Then she walked towards the witness stand with steady steps.

The tall figure coming from a distance.

Invisibly gave An Hui a great sense of security.

Anyway.

She is a public figure.

The prosecutors wanted her to appear in court as a witness.

She was also very resistant at first.

Because no matter what, appearing in court as a witness would be harmful to her.

But after she had a deep chat with several lawyers, she finally decided to appear in court.

Over the years, her courses have greatly harmed the interests of men.

She has been criticized and reported by many people.

It is just because the content of her courses is difficult to define clearly in law.

And she is doing private business, which is difficult for the platform to regulate.

So even if there are constant controversies, it does not affect her legal earning of money.

The reason why she chose to appear in court.

The first reason is that this time the prosecutors personally asked her to testify, and a direct refusal may be more disadvantageous to her.

Her business is already on the edge of morality and law.

If she just refuses, although some problems can be avoided.

But it is also possible that she will get more attention from the prosecutors, or even be the focus of the investigation.

If things develop like this, it will be more trouble than gain.

The second is that whether she is present or not, as long as Zhen Shanmei is convicted and sentenced, it will eventually affect her.

Rather than letting it go, it is better to participate and control the scene.

She can also use her identity as a witness for the plaintiff to help Zhen Shanmei get rid of the crime.

The biggest advantage of appearing in court is to turn passivity into initiative.

Hold the initiative in your own hands.

To ensure that everything is foolproof.

She also brought the most outstanding lawyer Li from the lawyer team she cooperated with to the court this time.

Although the law firm where lawyer Li works has not reached the level of a red circle firm.

But lawyer Li's personal ability is not much different from those top lawyers in red circle firms.

At least it is much better than Zhang Xiuqi, a so-called well-known lawyer in the central provinces.

Zhang Xiuqi's existence is undoubtedly her biggest confidence in this trip.

In the trial seat.

Judge Feng Wu and juror Deng Lei exchanged glances.

Both of them saw surprise in each other's eyes.

A witness came to court with his own lawyer?

In their court trial careers.

This was unheard of and unseen.

Netizens in the live broadcast room could hardly believe their eyes.

"Oh my God! There is a reversal!"

"Oh my God! What did I see? How can a witness come to court to testify with a lawyer?"

"A witness testifies with his own lawyer? This is really a long-awaited series!"

"And this lawyer seems to be very powerful, and his aura is not comparable to that of Lawyer Zhang!"

"The other side suddenly found a second main general! This lawsuit is exciting!"

"…………"

The trial scene.

Lawyer Li quickly walked to the witness stand.

He politely extended his right hand to Xu Hao.

"Hello, Prosecutor Xu, my name is Li Zhiping, and I am Ms. An Hui's lawyer."

Although he knew that the visitor was not friendly.

Xu Hao still politely extended his hand and shook it.

"It turned out to be Lawyer Li, hello."

The polite greeting ended.

The tension between the two men soon became apparent.

After the clerk confirmed Li Zhiping's information.

The presiding judge Zhou Jie said seriously.

"The witness lawyer has arrived in court, and the prosecution continues to question witness No. 1."

There is one more lawyer on the scene.

The whole situation is equivalent to being refreshed.

The advantage that Xu Hao has worked hard to build is likely to be destroyed.

In order to maintain the advantage as much as possible, Xu Hao dared not delay any longer.

He immediately put pressure on An Hui.

"Ms. An, your lawyer is already here."

"Now can you answer the questions I just asked?"

Although Xu Hao tried his best to maintain his aura.

But in front of Li Zhiping, his momentum was obviously weaker than before.

With the presence of Li Zhiping, facing Xu Hao's pressure.

An Hui directly chose to keep silent.

Li Zhiping on the side said calmly.

"Prosecutor Xu, let me answer these questions for you."

"Of course, all the questions you ask later will be answered by me instead of Ms. An Hui."

Xu Hao frowned.

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

"After all, you are not the party involved, how do you know what she knows?"

Li Zhiping said with a polite smile.

"No, respected prosecutor Xu."

"In fact, I have worked with Ms. An Hui for many years, and I know her situation very well."

"When a witness testifies in court, he is not obliged to answer questions, and there is nothing wrong with me answering on his behalf."

"My client will naturally be responsible for everything I say, and this should not be illegal, right?"

Xu Hao was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

Seeing that Xu Hao was speechless, Li Zhiping smiled confidently.

Continue speaking.

"Regarding the issue that Prosecutor Xu just mentioned."

"Ms. An Hui's team does have a customer service staff responsible for contacting and supervising students to attend classes."

"But unfortunately, because it has been too long, the customer service staff responsible for connecting with Ms. Zhen Shanmei has already left."

"And the communication records between that customer service staff and Ms. Zhen Shanmei have also been regularly cleared."

"Regarding whether Ms. Zhen Shanmei has participated in the live broadcast of the course, there is no trace at all now, and we really can't confirm it."

"As for the contradictions between Ms. An Hui's previous and subsequent testimonies."

"It is because Prosecutor Xu has constantly put pressure on Ms. An Hui during the questioning process just now."

"The momentum and pressure that Prosecutor Xu showed before, I believe that everyone present All of them have seen it. "

"My client, Ms. An Hui, is just a weak woman. When facing such strong and continuous pressure, it is inevitable that she will be in a trance."

"I think it is normal for Ms. An Hui to give a slightly different testimony under heavy pressure."

"An important witness in a criminal case, in a trance, at least not calm and sober, is likely to give testimony that does not conform to the facts of the case."

"I don't think this kind of testimony is credible!"

"In addition, Prosecutor Xu asked my client to prove her own speech, which is even more nonsense."

"My client is a witness in this case, and witnesses have no obligation to prove themselves!"

Li Zhiping turned to look at the trial seat and said respectfully.

"Dear presiding judge, what do you think?"

Presiding judge Zhou Jie said after thinking for a moment.

"I agree with the witness's lawyer's opinion."

"The witness only needs to be responsible for his own testimony, and there is no need to prove himself."

"The testimony given by Ms. An Hui under pressure will not be accepted."

After Zhou Jie finished speaking, Xu Hao was stunned on the spot.

This Li Zhiping is not simple!

We must find a way quickly, otherwise we will lose everything!

In his anxiety, Xu Hao glanced at Zhen Shanmei in the dock.

We can only try our best!

Xu Hao pointed at Zhen Shanmei and said.

"The records on your side have been cleared, but the records on Zhen Shanmei's side may not be!"

Xu Hao was obviously anxious.

Even if Zhen Shanmei had records, she couldn't use them to convict herself now.

Xu Hao knew this in his heart.

But he was betting that Zhen Shanmei would let the cat out of the bag.

Even if the probability was very small.

Li Zhiping smiled slightly and looked at Zhen Shanmei.

"Ms. Zhen, we can't prove whether you have completed the course."

"But we are a formal team. If you really did not take the course at that time, you can negotiate a refund with us at that time."

"We will definitely help you handle it properly."

Li Zhiping was obviously passing on a message.

But Xu Hao was powerless to do anything about it.

Zhen Shanmei looked at Li Zhiping, then at Xu Hao.

Since the prosecution shifted its firepower to An Hui.

She has less pressure.

No need to bow her head and escape.

Of course he knew what Li Zhiping meant.

It was to tell her not to admit that she had attended the class.

Even if Li Zhiping didn't say it, he wouldn't admit it.

Her lawyer Zhang Xiuqi had already explained this matter.

Zhen Shanmei and Zhang Xiuqi exchanged glances and said.

"I bought Teacher An's class online, but never had the time to attend it."

"Then I got so busy that I forgot about it."

"It would be great if I could withdraw from the class now."

Zhen Shanmei's words were like the end of the matter.

If there is no hard evidence, there is no way to overturn their arguments.

Xu Hao stood there for a long time.

He kept thinking, but he couldn't think of a solution.

"Prosecutor Xu, do you have any other questions?"

Li Zhiping's voice interrupted his thinking.

At this time, Xu Hao could no longer ask any better questions.

Mainly because he knew in his heart.

If Li Zhiping answered.

No matter how much he asked, he would not get the answer he wanted.

"No more."

With frustration and unwillingness, Xu Hao returned to his seat helplessly.

"The break time is over."

In the plaintiff's seat.

Lin Hao quietly stretched.

Then he slowly stood up.

"Prosecutor Xu has worked hard, leave it to me next!"
