20, evidence three
Gu Yan paused for a while, then raised his head and added: "Or, which side do you want to believe?"
These words were very familiar, and Yan Suizhi suddenly felt a little emotional.
That was a lecture many years ago. The location was not at the University of Metz, but at another old university in the Lyran galaxy, a two-day shuttle ride from Decama. Yan Suizhi took several students from the law school with him
The professor used to be the keynote speaker.
As for law school students, it is entirely voluntary to participate. Those who want to go can register with the school, and then the school will form a team to go together.
The lecture was open-ended, with no restrictions on the audience. People from different galaxies and planets were present, including men, women, old and young. The huge auditorium was packed to capacity.
Almost all the professors I took with me gave good lectures, with a touch of popular science, and were quite humorous. Only one old professor was out of tune and fell ill. He seemed to have no energy and spoke slowly.
It happened to be a spring afternoon, and there were many people in the auditorium, so it was easy to get lazy and sleepy. So by the time the old gentleman finished speaking, everyone in the auditorium had fallen asleep, and only the people in the first two rows were still struggling with their eyelids.
.
However, Yan Suizhi was the last one to give the lecture. Fortunately, he was just behind the old gentleman.
He held the podium with both hands, glanced at the audience, and laughed. He promised a prosperous world.
However, he did not have the habit of forcing others to listen to his tirade, and did not care about this situation of sleeping together. He even joked to a half-awake student nearby: "I haven't said a word yet."
, you just nodded twelve times at me."
Then the students in that group laughed and immediately woke up with laughter.
In the audience, there was a young student who didn't laugh along, but just raised his eyelids and glanced at those who had fallen asleep. Half of his body was sitting in the spring sunshine, but he still looked cold, as if he was soaked in a glass.
Mint in it.
This makes him stand out among that group of people.
After he withdrew his gaze, he looked toward the stage calmly, and happened to meet Yan Suizhi's eyes.
Of course, Professor Yan Da’s attention was not focused on any one audience member at that time, so he just curled his eyes and smiled before formally talking about the following content.
When he talked about the first case, everyone in the auditorium was almost awake. But by chance, the first student who raised his hand to ask a question happened to be sitting next to Mint.
"Professor, in a case like this, what the parties say is contrary to the evidence given by the prosecution. Who should be believed?"
Yan Suizhi asked her with a smile: "Which side do you want to believe?"
The girl opened her mouth and seemed to think it was a good question to answer at first, but after hesitating for a while, she started to get confused and finally shook her head and said: "I don't know..."
When those students first chose law school, they always had the original intention of safeguarding justice.
If you want to believe your client, that means questioning the justice of the prosecution. If even the Police Procuratorate, which best embodies justice, begins to distort and create lies, it will undoubtedly make many people feel discouraged and shaken.
If you want to believe the prosecution, it means that your client is indeed guilty, and you have to stand on the side of the guilty person and advise him.
Of course Yan Suizhi knew what the girl was hesitating about, "In fact, this kind of question is actually meaningless to some lawyers. Who to believe or not to believe is too simple for them, because they deal with all kinds of people every day.
Dealing with lies.”
Some parties will make up all kinds of reasons to deny their crimes. Even if they admit guilt, they will try their best to make themselves look less bad in order to gain some understanding.
In order to send someone he thinks is a criminal to jail, some prosecutors will not hesitate to use illegal methods to create evidence to ensure that the other party deserves the crime.
"Of course, there are some lawyers who often lie. Many people know that their clients are guilty, but at the end of the defense, they often forget this." Yan Suizhi said to the girl, "As time goes by, they will not
Think about the problems you mentioned again, because it makes it difficult for them to enjoy victory happily, and this circle always believes that the winner is king."
Yan Suizhi had long forgotten what that girl looked like, but he remembered that her face looked a little depressed and confused at that time.
So he smiled and said the last sentence: "But I am very happy that you raised this question, and I hope you can remember this question. If you think about it occasionally, you may not have the answer, and the process of thinking is not pleasant, but
This represents the pure original intention of your student days, and I hope you can keep it longer."
This scene was Yan Suizhi's only memory of that lecture, and he had long forgotten all the other details.
Not long after that, it was time for the first-year students at the University of Metz to choose their direct professors, and the piece of mint in the lecture became his student.
It was Gu Yan.
Later, Gu Yan asked the same question again, but he went one step deeper than that girl.
It was probably a small drinking party between Yan Suizhi and his students. He couldn't remember whether it was his birthday or Christmas. He only remembered that it was winter and it was snowing outside. He let the students play freely while he
Went to the balcony with a glass of wine.
He originally went to enjoy the black street scene outside the balcony, but he didn't expect that there were already people there.
The student who occupies that geomantic treasure land is Gu Yan.
He didn't remember the topic that led to that sentence. He only remembered that the usually taciturn and cold student asked him: "You also often wonder who is worthy of trusting?"
Yan Suizhi was a little drunk at that time. He talked less than usual and his tone was lazier than usual. He turned the glass in his hand and said, "No."
Gu Yan: "..."
"Why? Didn't you say that you hope students can occasionally think about it and keep their original intentions?" Gu Yan frowned when he asked this.
Yan Suizhi remembered that at that time, Gu Yan was not always angry like he was later, and could still say a few words. It was probably the first time that he frowned in front of his teacher.
"That's advice for good people." Yan Suizhi said lazily and a little carelessly. He turned to Gu Yan and smiled, saying, "I'm not that."
In fact, Yan Suizhi had not thought of these episodes for many years, and thought he had forgotten them long ago.
It wasn't until Gu Yan suddenly mentioned this today that he realized that he still remembered it.
Which side do you want to believe?
Yan Suizhi was very alert this time and no longer blurted out "I usually don't think about this kind of questions" as he habitually said. He tried to simulate the thinking of those students, pondered a few answers, and prepared to give it a good performance.
Act like it once.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yan didn't even wait for his answer, he packed up the evidence and said, "Think about it for yourself, I'll go out for a while."
Yan Suizhi was very angry: "..." I finally had the patience to act for once and you stopped watching?
Attorney Gu always spoke and acted neatly and left as soon as he said it. Soon, only Yan Sui was left in the room.
His legs actually didn't hurt much anymore, but he still felt uncomfortable walking, so Gu Yan didn't plan to take him with him when he went out.
When an intern has no work to do, he will really become a mushroom.
If he were at the Southern Cross Law Firm, he could dig out the bombing case and find out the whole story. Here, he had no place to dig out the case, so he could only sit idle in a chair and bask in the sun for a while.
However, this feeling of doing nothing was actually very rare for him, so after a while, he leaned his head and read a book with peace of mind.
It's just that while he was reading, his attention was not focused, and those pages of evidence would flash in his mind from time to time. This was already an occupational disease.
This case is actually not that difficult, at least not as troublesome as what he showed in front of Joshua Dahle. If the evidence is really forged, then a careful sorting will definitely find many loopholes that can be broken through.
The reason why it is difficult to speak to Joshua Dahle is simply because if the lawyer acts too relaxed, the client will feel that "even if I tell less details and truth, he can still handle it."
And he wanted to hear the truth, as much truth as possible.
He was in a trance when he thought about this. His eyes passed through the window glass and fell on the large low-rise houses outside...
Um?
After watching for a while, an idea suddenly came to him.
…
Joshua Dalle was sitting on the carpet in the hotel room with his hair hanging down in a daze. His sister Rosie Dalle, who had regained most of her vitality, was sitting cross-legged directly opposite him, looking at him with her dark eyes.
he.
After a while, she patted Joshua's leg and whispered, "Brother, I'm hungry."
As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach growled in unison.
Joshua raised his head from his depression and gave her a smile, "Are you hungry? Okay, wait, I'll go down and buy some food."
"Besides the bread, can I have one more candy today?" Luo Xi asked.
Joshua agreed without thinking: "Okay, sugar. We have bread and sugar, don't worry."
As he spoke, he stood up tiredly and rubbed his sister's head.
Luo Xi took out a smoothed wrapping paper from his pocket, "Can I have candy like this?"
Joshua pinched the candy wrapper and looked at the words on it: "Chocolate? I've never heard of this brand. Where did you get it?"
While they were talking, there was a knock on their room door.
Joshua clumsily opened the door with the remote control, and saw Yan Suizhi leaning against the door and smiling at the brother and sister: "Luo Xi? Pretty little girl, tell me are you hungry?"
Luo Xi Dal immediately pointed at him and said to Joshua: "Candy, this brother gave it to me."
Joshua: “…” Brother, what the hell!
Luo Xi Daler turned to Yan Suizhi again: "I'm hungry!"
Yan Suizhi raised his chin, "Put on your coat and I'll take you to eat lamb chops."
Luo Xi Dal stood up quickly and licked his lips, "Does it taste good?"
Joshua: “…”
He touched the remote control and wanted to close the door. He was wondering, had the trainee lawyer taken the wrong medicine and suddenly wanted to take them out to eat mutton chops?
