The female police officer’s face flushed under Gu Nianzhi’s sharp questioning Balling her hands into fists, she said, “I didn’t sentence hi about a possible truth!”
“Unfortunately, there are no auous facts in court There is also no irresponsible conjecture” Gu Nianzhi’s voice became icy “Since you have spoken, I’ll be able to question you now”
“Go ahead” The policewoman who cried out looked up “I didn’t lie I’”
Gu Nianzhi nodded and invited her to sit down in the witness stand to begin the cross examination Gu Nianzhi looked down at her inforo to Hepingli Hospital eight days ago to provide the defendant, Gu Yanran, with legal aid?”
“Yes” Officer Tao was very emotional “She was extremely traumatized at the time but still refused to call the police, so Officer Qiu and I tried to persuade her”
Gu Nianzhi asked again, “You said she was extreical assessment of her at the time?”
Officer Tao was stunned for a second “…No”
Gu Nianzhi’s expression was calm and quiet as she asked in an even tone, “Since there was no psychological assessment, then how did you determine that she was extre sharper and sharper,it difficult for Officer Tao to even breathe
Officer Tao’s face was a bit red “She had already ended up in the hospital fro and cried whenever she saw other people She was afraid of light and people, so we thought…”
“You thought? May I ask if you are professional psychologists? Or psychiatrists?” Gu Nianzhi interrupted her bluntly and pointed to Gu Yanran, who happened to be covering herself with her ar whenever she sees people and is still afraid of light If those things alone mean she’s very trauo if it’s already been going on for so long I think she should be going to aan estate dispute in court with me”
Just as Gu Yanran was about to pretend to be even ht at her as Gu Nianzhi said this Instead, Gu Yanran froze, and her expression was very unnatural for a moment Jin Wanyi quickly blocked her frohed quietly Gu Yanran took the opportunity to look down and pretend to be very speechless
Gu Nianzhi’s lips began to foraze, she looked at Officer Tao with a severe expression “I thought that as police officers, you would act according to lahen co the injury and then proceeding with legal aid”
Officer Tao began to grow anxious when she saw Gu Nianzhi question her actions, so she quickly said, “No, we actually did act according to law But domestic violence cases are different froes on her behalf She es herself” So the only thing the police officers could do was to dispel the victiainst those accusto do the file, she put it behind her back and stood raht in front of the witness stand to look at Officer Tao with a half smile “If that’s the case, how can you be so sure that Gu Yanran was beaten by Ye Xuan? Did you personally witness hi her or was there video evidence?”
Officer Tao closed her eyes Although her expression was indignant, she stopped speaking
“Since there was no evidence at all, how can you conclude that these were Ye Xuan’s actions based on only Gu Yanran’s one-sided accusations? What about evidence? Witnesses, evidence, as well as logic—where are they?” Gu Nianzhi pressed even further and made Officer Tao’s face and ears flush deep red froue, Officer Qiu
Officer Qiu obviously appeared more calm and stayed quiet the entire tiry when Gu Nianzhi latched onto the logic loophole in Officer Tao’s testimony and frequently questioned their professional conduct as police officers Walking out from her position, Officer Qiu stood next to Officer Tao and said calmly, “Miss Gu Nianzhi, there is factual evidence behindto statistics, the rate of domestic violence in our nation is 30 to 35 percent In other words, out of every ten fa do do violence inflicted bydoal aid In other words, they ly lie to the police when the law intervenes in order to conceal the ical inference based on this statistical data”
Gu Nianzhi was shocked by Officer Qiu’s words Although she had a way to overturn Officer Qiu’s explanation, any logic-based rebuttal would be futile in the face of this shocking statistical data It would probably make Gu Nianzhi appear very cold blooded, and this was likely why Gu Yanran used this kind ofpoint It was not by randoround chose to frale What kind of person would be so familiar with domestic violence statistics and could also immediately use them to support Gu Yanran’s case? It must be someone related to the field of law or al aid agencies Gu Nianzhi’s eyes flashed quickly before she said with all seriousness, “Thank you, Officer Qiu, for providing the data I retract my question” As she spoke, she also bowed to both Officer Tao and Officer Qiu to express her sincere apologies
Officer Tao saw that her attitude was huressively, so her view of Gu Nianzhi greatly improved After a bit of hesitation, she recalled what she had said and knew there had been mistakes in her testimony as well “There were also areas where I made mistakes, too I really shouldn’t have said it like that just now We don’t knoas the one to actually physically abuse Miss Gu Yanran, and we certainly can’t conclude it was Ye Xuan from her one-sided accusations I also retract what I said” She then added, “We didn’t write who the abuser was on the report, either”
Gu Nianzhi was secretly very happy and gained even more respect for the two female police officers She quickly said, “Thank you for the recommendationThen can I conclude that you confirmed injuries of abuse on Gu Yanran’s body but didn’t knoho abused her? Is that right?”
“That’s perfectly correct” Officer Tao was also completely convinced by Gu Nianzhi’s conclusion at this time, so she decided to reveal what happened before as well “Miss Gu Nianzhi is very correct We only saw the injuries, and because Miss Gu Yanran also pinched herself again the next day, it covered the previous injuries, so ere unable to conduct a er ive Gu Yanran a suggestive look, then walked over to say, “Looks like you really fabricated the injuries on your body In order to frame Ye Xuan, you first injured your entire body and then deliberately allowed the doctor and nurse to discover the injuries And when the police arrived, you orried they would analyze the finger ain and claimed you did it yourself That way, you could both fra evidence of your fabrication Isn’t that right?”
The corners of Gu Yanran’s lips witched She didn’t think that Gu Nianzhi would accurately guess what she had done and what herit Gu Yanran’s expression grew even darker She made up her mind and muffled her face as she sobbed, “…I already said I did it to myself, but they didn’t believe it So what could I do? I was too ashamed to tell anyone what Ye Xuan did to me It’s all because I have an unlucky fate I can’t blame anyone…” As soon as she cried, everyone fell into silence once again After all, everyone would typically rather believe this sort of thing instead of doubting it
The two female police officers on the other side pitied Gu Yanran even more because they came across far too many unfortunate woered by their helplessness Gu Nianzhi understood how the two feht have even been fooled herself if she hadn’t known about the tricks Gu Yanran played while she wasin Germany She couldn’t blame the two female police officers who specialized in do her lips, Gu Nianzhi silently passed a tissue to Gu Yanran As she continued to sob quietly, Gu Nianzhi’s voice softened gradually “Gu Yanran, I read the report of your injuries and have a few questions Do you think you can answer them for me?”
Alarms blared in Gu Yanran’s head as soon as Gu Nianzhi’s attitude suddenly drastically improved, so Gu Yanran didn’t look up or speak at all
Gu Nianzhi looked at Jin Wanyi helplessly “Lawyer Jin, does your client plan to not speak in court again? If that’s the case, do you want to speak on her behalf instead?”
Jin Wanyi glanced at Gu Yanran and was about to open her mouth when Gu Yanran looked up and used a tissue to wipe her nose She choked out, “You only want to see my eh anyway, so I don’t care about being humiliated even more Go ahead and ask”
Gu Nianzhi spread her arure out the truth After all, you are clai that my important witness is the person who inflicted dos difficult for me, too”
Gu Yanran chuckled internally but still put up a grievous face “I know this ood person in the first place Sister, I don’t want him to fool you”
“Really?”
Jin Wanyi took the opportunity to reconcile and persuade Gu Nianzhi to settle the matter outside of court “Yes, you see? Didn’t he convince you to sue my client? In fact, ould two sisters hate each other? You two can sit down and slowly discuss the family estate Why must it be taken to court?”
Gu Nianzhi didn’t take the bait Opening her court file, she said nonchalantly, “Lawyer Jin, I had just asked if you were speaking on behalf of Gu Yanran, and you didn’t say anything So what’s theGu Yanran right now?”
