Chapter 123: Whoever asserts, whoever gives evidence

If one were to say that this judge, and Lin Yuan did not have a transfer of benefits, Zhao Zheng would not believe it.

He had grown up in the official world, and this ability to detect words and colors had long been perfected.

However, there are numerous news media at the scene, which is tantamount to half a public trial. If you are obviously biased in favor of anyone, I am afraid that the eyes of the public are discerning, unless you do not want to have a future.

Lin Shi Yan stood up, walked to the center, and began to read the indictment.

Honorable Judge and Jurors, on behalf of the Chengdong Branch of the Public Security Bureau, I am filing a lawsuit against the suspect Lin Tianyang.

As we all know, the June 12 shooting at Guanyin Lane, in which five of our police officers were killed in the line of duty and a few other criminals were killed, started with a firefight between the owner of the Jin Bu Hui Pawnshop and two other black forces.

And, our police officer, Comrade Lin Shengnan, was also injured in the leg during that fight.

In the course of our investigation into the Gold But Not Pawn Shop, we found watches, bracelets and other luxury items stolen from the Lin family by the current suspect, Comrade Lin Tian Yang.

Through our interrogation of Dozon, a murder-for-hire case was implicated.

Comrade Lin Tian Yang, in exchange for these luxuries, asked Du Zong to kill one person, the first son of the Lin family, Lin Tian Yang’s brother Lin You.

The evidence is overwhelming, and I ask the judge to rule.

Here is the testimony from the Duzon trial for the judge and jury.

After saying that, Lin Shi Yan handed over the information in her hand.

The judge quickly looked at the testimonies in his hand as well as the watch, bracelet, and other evidence, and raised his head to Lin Tianyang and Lawyer Fu, “Suspects, do you have anything to say?”

“There is.” Lawyer Fu walked to the center, his gaze fixed on Lin Shi Yan and said, “I believe that the so-called evidence that Lawyer Lin said, does not prove that my client bought the murderer, these so-called exhibits, at most, can only prove that my client, took out the gifts that were usually given to him by his family, and exchanged them for money.”

“And, I also do not recognize the word steal as Lawyer Lin said, because these things, originally, are the things of the Lin family, and Lin Tianyang, as the son of the Lin family, has the right to dispose of the Lin family’s property.”

“And, I asked Mr. Lin Yuan and Ms. Lan Lin, the head of the Lin Family, afterwards, and these three so-called exhibits were gifts that Mr. Lin Yuan and Ms. Lan Lin gave to my client a long time ago, and they belong to Mr. Lin Tian Yang’s private property.”

Lin Yuan had a satisfied expression on his face.

Lanlin also looked happy, thinking that this lawyer had hired the right one, and still had a couple of tricks up his sleeve.

This is not over, Lawyer Fu continued, “According to my investigation, Lin Tianyang and Lin You, lived together for four years, although their relationship is not considered good, it is definitely not to the point of incompatibility. Therefore, to say that my client bought the murderer, the motive is insufficient.”

After Lawyer Fu finished speaking, he walked to the audience and asked, “Which one is Mr. Lin You, I heard that Mr. Lin You is also here, can I ask him a few words?”

The judge reached out and said, “Yes.”

“Okay, will Mr. Rinyo please step forward.”

Lin You stood up helplessly.

“Good, Mr. Lin You.” Lawyer Fu asked, “As far as I know, you are not on good terms with my client, Lin Tianyang, in the Lin family.”

“The two have often erupted in conflict over favor, and both have ended in your defeat, haven’t they?”

Lin You was just about to reply, Lin Shi Yan stood up and said, “I object, Mr. Lin You has nothing to do with this case, the other side’s lawyer, has the suspicion of confusing the public.”

Lawyer Fu insisted, “I feel that Lin You has a significant relationship with this case, so I ask the judge, to allow me to ask questions.”

The judge nodded after consulting with the jurors around him, “Objection overruled, Lin You must answer.”

Lin You said faintly, “Yes!”

“But talk about failing or not failing ……”

“You don’t need to explain, just say yes and no.” Lawyer Fu interrupted Lin You’s words and continued, “As far as I know, you’re in the Lin family, you’re often scolded and educated by your parents and a few sisters, which makes you hate my client Lin Tian Yang very much.”

“Yes or no?”

“No!” Lin You said indifferently.

“You lie!” Lawyer Fu exclaimed, “What I know is that when you left the Lin family, you told my client that my client was a bad orange, and you can say that you don’t hate?”

Lin Shi Yan stood up and objected, “I object, the opposing counsel is deliberately inducing content unrelated to this case to divert attention.”

“Objection overruled.””

Zhao Zheng in the audience had a sneer on his face, he was already sure that this judge and Lin Yuan had a transfer of benefits.

“Defense counsel may continue to ask questions.”

“Hold it!” Lin You interrupted, “May I ask Your Honor, am I a legal citizen?”

The judge looked impatient and said, “Of course.”

“And do I have the right to speak?”

“Of course I have, what do you want to say?”

“Good!” Lin You turned to Lawyer Fu and smiled, “This lady, it seems like you’ve done quite a bit of homework, you’ve learned everything that’s favorable to your client.”

“I think I just heard you say that the Patek Philippe watch, and the gold watch, and the bracelet, were gifts from Mr. Lin Yuan to your client, and are not considered stolen.”

“Since you are so good at what you know, do you have any idea why I ran away from home that day?”

“This ……” Fu lawyer was momentarily speechless, she did not expect that her own aura did not overwhelm Lin You, she thought that Lin You must not dare to speak, let alone plead his case.

“I’ll tell you.” Lin You laughed, “The reason for leaving home at that time, besides a few other reasons, was the two watches and a bracelet on the table.”

“Mr. Hayabuchi and Ms. Lamblin say I stole them.”

“May I ask, since I stole it, how did it appear in Lin Tianyang’s hands and be taken by him to the Jin Bu Hui Pawn Shop to exchange for money?”

There was an uproar in the audience.

Lin Shi Yan applauded for Lin You in his heart.

After the paid lawyer froze for more than ten seconds, he said to Lin You, “Mr. Lin You, this is a courtroom, and a courtroom is all about evidence, you said that you stole these things, do you have any evidence?”

Lin You laughed, “Then you say I didn’t steal it, do you have any proof?”

“Although I am a high school student, but also more or less know a little bit of law, at least know who claims, who gives evidence of the principle, you are not a lawyer? Didn’t you do a lot of homework? Not according to your knowledge? Then you cite evidence ah.”

The paid lawyer was dumbfounded.

Lin Shi Yan couldn’t help but let out a “pfft” and burst out laughing.

The judge glanced at Lin Shiyan and said disgruntledly, “Please ask the plaintiff’s attorney to keep quiet and not disrupt the order of the courtroom.”

Lawyer Fu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and fumed, “Okay, I’ll give you the evidence.”

Turning to Lin Yuan and Lan Lin, he asked, “Excuse me, Mr. Lin Yuan, Ms. Lan Lin, you are his parents and live with him, Mr. Lin You just said that these things, he stole …… them?”

Before Lawyer Fu finished his words, Lanlin screamed, “He’s lying, I can prove that these things are our gifts to our son, he tried to steal them, but he didn’t get them.”

Lin Yuan pondered for a few seconds and also said, “It’s like this.”
