Part Three Chapter 118 Case 6

She looked cold and aloof, but when she took out the bowls and chopsticks, she reluctantly brought out three sets without showing any intention of driving him away. It was really contradictory and aw...These days, she got along very peacefully with Song Jingye. They were busy during the day and cuddled up to sleep at night without doing anything. 。Chen Ning was held in his arms, listening to his steady breathing, her heart filled with a sense of security. With him by her side, any difficulty could be overcome. 。On the day of the trial, many of her relatives and friends came, including Song Jingye, Xu Haichen, Zheng Ke, the monitor, Teacher Zhang from her unit, and Teacher Liang. 。Standing on the defendant's stand, looking at them down below, she felt warm in her heart. They were all friends and family she had earned through her own hard work, proving that all these years of her journey hadn't been in vain. 。Her lawyer was Zhang, whom Shu Tinglan and Song Jingye had hired for her. After they entered, they nodded at her and didn't communicate further. 。

Finally, the judge and jury enter the courtroom. 。Chen Ning glanced back at the judge, feeling a sense of familiarity. She immediately remembered him as the father of the child she had saved during their time in the country. They had even visited her workplace with their elderly relatives to present her with a banner of appreciation; it was thanks to this family that she earned the reputation of being someone who loves receiving banners. 。She didn't expect any convenience from it, she just felt it was a coincidence. 。The case was not complicated. Shu Tinglan and Lawyer Zhang agreed that a self-defense argument should be used. 。The defense was primarily handled by Lawyer Zhang, who presented evidence first with a list of people who had been trafficked that year, proving that she had been trafficked into the Wang family. 。Moreover, she was powerless and, when assaulted, instinctively reacted by hitting the man with a stone, which constitutes self-defense. 。

Lawyer Zhang: "According to Article 20 of China's Criminal Law, for violent acts that seriously endanger personal safety, such as committing a crime or rape, taking defensive measures and causing harm to the perpetrator is considered self-defense and is not criminally liable."> 。The key to this case lies in proving that she was being assaulted at the time. Only if it can be proven that she was being assaulted does the defense of self-preservation exist. 。This is exactly why Chen Ling finds it difficult to prove his side of the story. It's been too long ago, there are no physical evidence, and no one to testify. 。Mr. Zhang: “The act of buying and selling women is illegal in itself, and any actions taken based on this illegal fact constitute a clear criminal act.” 。And why did the Wang family illegally trade my client I think their purpose is very clear. 。The judge and jury agreed with his point, but the law is about evidence, Mr. Zhang's statement is speculation and too subjective. 。The entire courtroom was unnaturally quiet. 。

The man also came out of the detention center and sat in the plaintiff's position, looking at Chen Ning with a gleam of victory in his eyes, knowing she couldn't provide evidence. 。Chen Ning was still very calm, standing there quietly. 。Just then, Shu Tinglan, who had been sorting through materials all along, stood up: "Whether it was self-defense can be put aside for now" 。I have here the most recent evidence, just obtained, that proves Wang Jia Lao San's death is not directly related to my client. 。All eyes in the room turned to her. This was a completely new approach, shattering everyone's preconceived notions of self-defense. 。The judge looked up at her: "Please submit it." 。Shutinglan took the materials forward, submitted the latest material to the judge after, she returned to her original position: “This is what I recently visited several villagers, got the latest information” 。Wang Laosan was a fool from birth, in addition to having a congenital heart condition. 。Back then, my client did indeed hit Wang Lao San with a stone in self-defense. However, the wound was small and not fatal; it merely triggered his heart condition, causing him to faint. 。And Wangjia the eldest and second, thinking he was dead, held his funeral that afternoon. 。。"As soon as Wang Laoda heard this, he jumped up: “That's because she smashed the person so hard they had a heart problem. If she hadn't hit him, Lao San wouldn't have had a heart attack and wouldn't have died.” 。Facing his roar, Shu Tinglan was very calm. He glanced at her and continued: “Below, I'm going to talk about the true cause of Lao San Wang’s death.” 。"Holding the funeral in the afternoon doesn't conform to your local customs, so Old Wang San's "body" has been kept in the main house. According to custom, it will be buried the next day." 。And that very night, Wang Lao San, whom you thought had already died, suddenly woke up and sat up. 。Shu Tinglan's calm tone as she said this caused the entire room to fall silent, everyone taken aback. 。"Don't worry, it's not a zombie coming back to life. It's that Wang Laosan wasn't dead at all, he was just in a coma. He woke up at night." 。But how did you do it You fooled everyone into thinking it was a resurrection. The next day, disregarding the fact that Old Wang was still breathing, you buried him alive. 。"

All I have said, has been witnessed by others" 。Wang Laosan sat up in the middle of the night, and many villagers saw it at the time. 。So, Wang Lao San's death has nothing to do with my client. 。After Shu Tinglan finished speaking, she sat back in her original seat. 。The judge and jury carefully reviewed her newly submitted materials and witness testimonies, and immediately declared Chen Ning not guilty in court without any further delay. 。When Wang, the eldest brother, saw that the duck he was about to catch was flying away, he started crying and making a scene, getting himself arrested by the police. The investigation into his charges of human trafficking and the true cause of Wang Lao San's death is ongoing, as it seems he ended up losing both the chicken and the rice.

Chen Ling pretended to be calm on the surface, but her palms and soles were sweating profusely. The first thing she did was raise her eyes to find Song Jingye in the family and friends' seats, and Song Jingye had already strode over and hugged her in public, "It's okay now" 。I know 。She hugged him back for a while before letting go. 。

Chapter Teacher and Liang Teacher as well as Xu Haichen, did not go up to speak to her, just glanced at her from afar and then left directly. 。Instead, the class monitor and Zheng Ke came over and said: "I knew Xiaoning would be fine back here. These scoundrels couldn't bully you." 。This afternoon, I had the cook prepare a meal to celebrate your newfound freedom. 。"Chen Ning nodded and said yes, then turned to look for Lawyer Shu and Lawyer Zhang. She wanted to thank them the most, because during this period of time, they had been tirelessly helping her find evidence and defense strategies. Without their dedication, her case would not have gone so smoothly." 。Mr. Zhang was very polite: "If you really want to thank someone, thank Ms. Shu. It was her who ran to that village in the northwest twice and found out Wang Laosan's true cause of death." 。"Chen Linghui and Song Jingye were both a little surprised because they had meetings every few days to communicate, and they always thought she was in Senzhou. They didn't expect her to have gone to the northwest twice in between." 。This is Shu Tinglan's personality. Once she promises to do something, she will definitely do her best. 。"Thank you, Ms. Shu." 。"Chen Ling responded with heartfelt thanks" 。“Actually, the biggest credit goes to your friend Wu Jian. He and his wife have been running around helping me make connections and persuading people in those villages to testify about the truth from back then. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made any progress even if I had run countless times.” 。After Shu Tinglan finished speaking, she couldn't have lunch with them at noon and had to rush back to Senzhou. As a partner now, her work was very busy. 。Song Jingye and Chen Ning didn't try to persuade them any longer, "Next time we go to Senzhou, I'll treat you and Zhuo Y uan to dinner." 。"

Good " 。I kind of regret not going to the hotel last night.Hàn Lì took the lead and stepped into the elevator, pressing the button for the basement floor. Zhào Tíng xíng followed closely behind, leaning again...
