Chapter 35

Probably many things in this world are predestined. The day Jiang Xingyun died of a sudden illness was Wednesday, and the court trial was also Wednesday. It seemed that all the bad luck days in Xie Jingchi's life could not escape this curse.

One week before the trial, on the afternoon of the weekend, Attorney Gao brought Xie Jingchi the result of the handwriting identification.The appraisal report clearly gave a positive conclusion, supporting that Sample [-] and Sample [-] were made by the same person.

Explicit letters, social software chat records, call list provided by the operator, and medical records issued by the hospital after falling into the water that year. At this point, all the preparations he can do before the trial have been completed.

"Lawyer Gao, how much do you think the sentence can be?" After dinner, when Xie Jingchi sent Lawyer Gao out, he asked questions about the future for the first time.

"According to past experience, five to eight years is about the same, and ten years is basically unnecessary, unless the crime of intentional injury back then can be established."

Lawyer Gao thought about it, and didn't say too much, "I have done everything I can, and the rest can only be determined by the performance of the other party's lawyer and how the jury defines it."

On Tuesday, Xie Jingchi went to school normally.

Before the lunch break, he went to the office to ask for leave. The head teacher, who had always been very strict and merciless to him, was silent for a long time after reading the court summons.

"I see."

She stood up and gave Xie Jingchi a hug loosely.

"You are very brave and wonderful." The hand she touched Xie Jingchi's hair was very gentle, "Don't be afraid, those who hurt you will definitely suffer retribution."

Xie Jingchi hesitated for a moment, then raised his arms to hug her back.

He rarely had physical contact with older women, but she had a kind of warmth and care that he had only felt from Jiang Xingyun and Lu Xu's mother, so he couldn't help but want to do it.

"It would be nice if it was true." He whispered, and let her go.

If God could really see that everyone who hurt him would get retribution, he wouldn't have to wait so long until all his patience was exhausted.

As Lawyer Gao said, Fang Qi should have been punished by law as early as the year Fang Qi pushed him into the lake, and whitewashing peace and waiting will only become a breeding ground for crime.

Whatever the outcome of this lawsuit, he hopes it's a good start.

Another week when Qin Shen was away, the butler took two days off due to the unfortunate summer flu.

The housekeeper apologized seriously on the phone while coughing, as if it was an unacceptable sin not to take care of Xie Jingchi's daily life.

Xie Jingchi was a little flustered and panicked and told him to recuperate well at home and don’t worry about it. There are all kinds of food in the refrigerator, no matter how bad they are, there are takeaways, and there will be no problem if he is alone. Don’t make it seem like he is alone at home. will starve.

When he came back from school that day, Xie Jingchi didn't bother to order takeaway, so he used his lack of cooking skills to cook a bowl of noodles and warm up a glass of milk.

Perhaps it was caused by psychological effects. He always felt that the amount of honey was difficult to control. At first, there was no sweetness, but after adding too much, it became too sweet and greasy. He squeezed his nose and drank it all in one go. into the dishwasher.

Because he was going to the court tomorrow, Xie Jingchi went to bed early, so he woke up earlier than usual.

Like a bad omen, the sky outside the window is gray, and the air has the unique humidity after rain.He lay on the bed and took out his mobile phone. It was a quarter past five in the morning, and the last message from Qin Shen stayed at ten past nine.

The biological clock made it difficult for him to fall asleep again, and he got up to read after lying down for a while.

He thought he would be distracted and inefficient because of the trial in a few hours, but in fact he could easily read those topics, and the alarm clock reminded him that it was time to go out.

Half a month before the college entrance examination, over the past ten years, the chores accumulated in his mind have settled down one by one, leaving only a few thoughts that have become clearer.

After checking the ID card and a series of necessary items needed for the court session, Xie Jingchi changed his shoes and went out.

There was no one at home, and his breakfast was sandwiches and milk tea bought from a convenience store—if the housekeeper was there, he must be scolded for eating something unnutritious every day.

In the last physical examination before the college entrance examination, compared with the previous year, he grew 2.7cm taller and gained 3kg in weight. The rest of the body has not changed much.

The driver sent him to the court to meet with Attorney Gao. Attorney Gao reviewed with him what he would say to the judge and judges later, and then it was time for the trial.

The ceiling lights in the courtroom were very bright, falling on the black and shiny black wood furniture, giving people a suffocating oppressive force for no reason.

Accompanied by lawyer Gao and the court staff, Xie Jingchi sat where he should be, with his hands twisted together, his knuckles turning blue and white.

The temperature of the air conditioner was turned on very low, and he followed Lawyer Gao's advice and brought a thin coat so as not to shiver from the cold.He thought he wouldn't be nervous, but when he really came to this kind of occasion, there was still a thin layer of cold sweat on his palms.

Five minutes before the trial, the personnel involved in the trial of the case entered the venue one after another.In the last 5 minutes, someone came in from the outside, Xie Jingchi turned his head as if he had sensed something, and met Qin Shen's gaze.

It was not long after he got off the flight, his clothes were not as meticulous as before, the cuffs and neckline were slightly wrinkled, but this did not detract from his handsome appearance.

Qin Shen nodded to Xie Jingchi and sat in the auditorium. Even in such a depressing environment, a certain stone hanging in Xie Jingchi's heart suddenly fell down.

The hour hand points to 9, and the judge knocks down the gavel, announcing the official start of the trial of the case.

The door at the back of the courtroom opened, and the bailiff appeared behind it with a square chess piece.

Compared with when Xie Jingchi last saw him more than a month ago, Fang Qi was much thinner and his hair was messy.

Because of the sexual crimes involved, Fang Qi wears a neck ring and shackles designed for Alpha prisoners to ensure that he will not do anything inappropriate to the victims who are present at the trial.

As a party in this case, Xie Jingchi had a few minutes to ask Fang Qi questions after the public prosecutor read the complaint aloud.

The lawyer conveyed this meaning to Xie Jingchi.After giving an affirmative answer, Xie Jingchi let go of the hand that had been pinched with a large red mark, straightened the wrinkles on his clothes and stood up.

Including the presiding judge and the secretary, everyone's attention was focused on Xie Jingchi.

"Fang Qi, answer me a question, how did you get into the venue?" Xie Jingchi unhurriedly asked the question that he and Lawyer Gao had rehearsed thousands of times.

Fang Qi grinned, and smiled impatiently, "I have asked so many times if I am annoying, and I have already said that I slipped in."

"Where did you get the invitation?"

"I stole it from my aunt when she wasn't paying attention, otherwise where else could I get it?" Seeing the indifferent man in the auditorium, Fang Qi coughed softly, "Xie Jingchi, I'm still very unwilling, it's obviously me I knew you earlier, if I had money and power..."

Seeing that Fang Qi was about to say more and more outrageous words, the judge on the stage slammed the gavel heavily, "Please refrain from making remarks that have nothing to do with the case."

The deterrence of the bailiffs and judges forced Fang Qi to shut up.Xie Jingchi saw his lips move, he should have cursed a vulgar word.

Xie Jingchi looked at Fang Qi calmly.

"Stolen?" Xie Jingchi slowly repeated these two words.

"Yeah, I came to see you a week before your birthday. My aunt invited me for lunch. When I saw the invitation letter she put on the table, I couldn't help it. Destroy it, so she won’t know that she’s missing a share.” Fang Qi’s haggard face showed a weird expression that made Xie Jingchi feel uncomfortable instinctively, “Xiao Chi, I know you hate my aunt, but here is The court, where is the court? It is fair and honest, and you cannot deliberately slander her with such a clear-cut question."

Faced with Fang Qi's inversion of black and white and his beating, Xie Jingchi closed his eyes.

He wanted to refute, but Fang Qi's words were not too problematic. Even the maids could testify that Fang Qi had indeed been to Qiwen Mountain more than once. Many invitations were written by her herself, and it was too easy to steal an original invitation without writing.

"Does the party have any other questions?" The judge didn't give Xie Jingchi too much time for silence.

"No."

After getting the answer, Xie Jingchi sat down and let the trial continue.

Although he was nominally the party to the trial, most of the time it was between lawyers and prosecutors, and only in a very small number of times did he need to recount what happened that night.

Time passed minute by minute, Xie Jingchi went from being tormented to relaxing, and then to living like a year.

Watching the public prosecutor speak again, all he had in his mind was "here we come".

He sued Fang Qi today, in addition to what happened on his birthday night, and Fang Qi pushed him into the lake in an attempt to commit obscenity.

Generally speaking, the prosecution period for the crime of intentional injury is five years, but his situation is special. After he fell into the water and was discovered by others, Xie Mingyao immediately chose to block the news, and he insisted on suppressing the matter. Fang Qi even Not a single case remains.

That's why, when Lawyer Gao suggested that he sue this matter together, he hesitated for a long time, fearing that he would not get the desired result, and even wanted to give up. Finally, Qin Shen asked him a question.

——Do you want Fang Qi to pay for what he has done?

--think.

After proposing to Attorney Gao to prosecute the crime of injury in the past, he found that he was more eager to uncover the old scars than he imagined.

He wanted to give himself an answer back then, and make everyone involved in this matter pay the price.

Not only Fang Qi, but also Xie Mingyao and Fang Rujun.Of course he knew that the latter was just his wishful thinking, and the current him was far from capable of shaking those two people.

He took the first step, and that's a great start.

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is not satisfactory.Different from the attempted sexual assault with solid evidence, the lack of evidence in this matter gave the opposing lawyer a lot of room to play.

Evidence such as letters and call records can only prove that Fang Qi had an abnormal and morbid obsession with him, but cannot prove that Fang Qi would directly attack him at that time.

Facing the public prosecutor's questions, Fang Qi resolutely remained silent, while his lawyer repeatedly raised objections to the loopholes in the public prosecutor's words.

Seeing that the situation was going to be one-sided, lawyer Gao raised his hand and said that he had other evidence to submit.

"Allowed." The judge allowed Lawyer Gao's request.

The latest evidence submitted by lawyer Gao is a surveillance video.

"The identification result of the identification agency is that there are no traces of splicing and forgery."

Lawyer Gao said this while playing the video with the on-site equipment.

When the picture appeared on the screen, Xie Jingchi almost cried out after seeing it clearly.

It is impossible for a high-end residential area like Qiwenshan to have no surveillance video. After Xie Mingyao destroyed all the surveillance video back then, he knew that this matter could only die silently in that gloomy and damp house, and became the source of countless An insignificant piece of the secrets of the rich.

Fang Qi on the screen was standing not far from him, talking to him excitedly, and couldn't help gesticulating when he was impassioned.As an unqualified listener, he impatiently wanted to turn around and leave, but the moment he carried his back, someone grabbed his neck and dragged his arms towards the lake. The difference in physique between Alpha and Omega made his struggle look so weak, and he couldn't break free in the end, and was easily thrown into the astonishingly blue lake by Fang Qi, who had just grown up.

"This video that should have been destroyed was secretly kept by Mr. Liu, a staff member of the security department of Qiwenshan Mansion. I was entrusted by Mr. Qin Shenqin to find Liu and got this video from him. Therefore, I have enough evidence that the defendant was violent against my client on more than one occasion."

Lawyer Gao spoke calmly, and in response to his cold and resolute expression, the opposing lawyer's face was extremely ashamed, and every word he said before turned into a loud slap on the face.

Xie Jingchi couldn't hear what the lawyer and the judge said.He looked back at the auditorium not far away, Qin Shen was still so calm and calm, as if everything was under his control.

In fact, everything is indeed under the control of this man.

Xie Jingchi didn't know when he went to look for Liu who had hidden the video, and he didn't know what price Liu had to pay for obediently taking out the video, but he knew that none of these things would be easy .

Qin Shen is rich and powerful, but it doesn't mean he is obliged to use everything he owns for himself.

Could mere sympathy and pity really allow such a person to do this for themselves?

Sensing his gaze, Qin Shen's ice shell had a little crack, revealing a kind of emotion that can be called warmth.

Qin Shen's lips moved.nothing will happen.He noticed that Qin Shen was mouthing this sentence to him.Xie Jingchi had a sour taste in his nose, he lowered his head, unwilling to cry embarrassingly on such an occasion.

When the judge knocked down the gavel to announce the adjournment, Xie Jingchi knew that everything could finally be settled.
