Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The prosecutor of Little Rock Canyon was al reled froer However, He Zhichu only looked at him calmly, and his shi+mmery, sultry eyes were full of cold sarcasm The assistant next to the prosecutor discreetly pulled at his shi+rt sleeve, and it was only then that the prosecutor finally colared fiercely at He Zhichu He continued to cross examine the housekeeper “Mr Housekeeper, can you please tell us about the day the Vanderbilt residence was on fire”
The housekeeper appeared very aggrieved and sad as he walked to the witness stand and said with great pain, “That day was no different fro after having dinner And then…” He suddenly turned around to point at Ye Xuan sitting in the defendant’s dock and gritted his teeth “And then it was this bastard! He had been bothering Mr Vanderbilt for several days! In the beginning, he was sneakily pretending to be a pedestrian to spy on Mr Vanderbilt Afterwards, Mr Vanderbilt discovered hi After Mr Vanderbilt rejected him, this man became furious and set fire to house and killed all the people in Mr Vanderbilt’s fa out, the courtroom was filled with noisy chatter The six jurors all had different expressions as they looked thoughtfully at Ye Xuan in the defendant’s dock The people in the gallery had already begun berating Ye Xuan fiercely All these people were neighbors froood relations with the fa them die so horrifically and innocently, especially the four children, the people began to hate Ye Xuan to the bone even more Someone even openly stood up and called out to hi to you!” He Zhichu looked back and glanced coldly at the person causing the coavel expressionlessly “No co the person shouting to leave” Several bailiffs walked over and kicked out the person who had called Ye Xuan a “devil” By then, everyone had grown a lot ain
The prosecutor co over to Ye Xuan and asking with a giddy and triumphant expression, “Mr Ye, may I ask if you spied on Mr Vanderbilt? You only need to answer yes or no”
Ye Xuan considered the question He certainly had observed Mr Vanderbilt for a few days beforethe truth or not, he obviously had to confirm it first But if he answered yes, that would prove that he had been “spying” Spying and observing were two completely different concepts that could seriously mislead the jurors Before Ye Xuan answered, he looked at He Zhichu He Zhichu appeared expressionless, so it seemed like it didn’t matter how Ye Xuan answered the question He had a leisurely calm and composure about him, and this kind of relaxed mood also affected Ye Xuan, so he replied cal?!” The prosecutor became even more excited “The housekeeper was not the only one to see you spy on Mr Vanderbilt There were others who saw it, too We have witnesses and evidence How dare you try to deny it?!”
Ye Xuan didn’t speak again because He Zhichu had already stood up to defend hi, can you please explain the definition of ‘spying?’”
The prosecutor was speechless
“Prosecutor, please answer my question” He Zhichu was in no rush as he requested that the prosecutor answer once again Even the judge was looking at the prosecutor now
The prosecutor considered it carefully before stuttering, “Spying would be secretly
observing the private actions of another person without their permission”
He Zhichu nodded and walked to the housekeeper’s side “Mr Housekeeper,on’ Mr Vanderbilt?”
“On the street,” the housekeeper replied blankly “Many people saw it as well They could also testify” He pointed to the neighbors listening to the trial and sitting in the gallery Everyone quickly nodded to agree that the housekeeper was right
He Zhichu was stony faced, and his cold gaze swept across all the faces of the people in the courtrooaze, and after breaking eye contact, He Zhichu finally looked back at the housekeeper “Was it during daytihttime?”
“Dayti” The housekeeper quickly stressed, “At the ti up the kitchen, and I went out to welcome Mr Vanderbilt ho his privacy on the street at that time?” He Zhichu smirked “May I ask what privacy he had exposed?”
“Objection! The defendant’s lawyer is slandering the deceased’s reputation!” The prosecutor ier to repri this kind of question! I never thought Lawyer He would ever be like this!”
He Zhichu quietly stood in the courtrooure were enough contrast to make the oily-faced prosecutor next to him look like a little clown He sloaited for the prosecutor to finish speaking before finally refuting, “The prosecutor has just given the legal definition of ‘spying’ as secretly observing the private actions of another person without their permission And my client had seen the deceased Mr Vanderbilt on the street in broad daylight, so may I ask under this circumstance, how couldthe privacy of so on the street, unless that person was exposing his privacy?”
The prosecutor was stunned and made dizzy by He Zhichu’s continuous questions After a while, he finally understood that he had slapped himself in the face! He Zhichu had led hi First he asked hi,” and then he used his own definition to defeat hilared fiercely at He Zhichu and balled his fists as he said vehe another person without their perer “In law, it is necessary to secretly observe so Since both people were on the street at the tie in any private actions, the prosecutor and housekeeper’s allegation thaton’ Mr Vanderbilt does not hold true”
The judge nodded and struck his gavel “Prosecutor and witness, please pay attention to your verbiage”
