Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 116 Perhaps, He Died Young
Zhong Linyi, also known as Zhong Jingyi, sat in the witness stand.

Luo Liya smiled, then took out the prepared evidence that had already been reported.

"Witness, may I ask where you were on the night of the incident?"

"I'm recording a show on TV."

"Okay, then may I ask, when you returned to the crime scene that night, what did you find?"

“That day, I was recording a program.”

Luo Liya had read the previous court trial records. What Zhong Jingyi said was exactly the same as last time, without even the slightest deviation, so this topic could be skipped directly.

"Then let me ask, do you agree or disagree with your wife bribing Chen Qiu to give a false confession?"

"I object to the defense attorney's use of misleading rhetoric."

Jin Yuanshan stood up.

Luo Liya looked at Jin Yuanshan deeply, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Okay, let me change the question."

Then, Luo Liya took out the two water bottles.

"Do you remember these two Aquarians? Do you remember them?"

Just as Luo Liya was showing off her skills, Zhong Jingyi's expression in the witness stand seemed to change and she began to become nervous.

Jin Yuanshan, Luo Liya and others who were closest to him could see the subtle changes in his expression.

"I do not remember."

"Okay, so you don't remember, or you don't want to remember? Then let me help you recall. These two water bottles were found in the trash can at the scene of the crime."

Luo Liya looked at Zeng Jie'er in the dock and asked:
"Defendant, on the night of the incident, after you returned from the garden to call the police, you saw Zhong Jingyi get up and throw away the two water bottles. Is this true?"

"Have"

"Well, witness, you're a doctor, and I have a medical question. If someone loses too much blood and then drinks a large amount of water, what are the consequences?"

Luo Liya's voice suddenly changed, becoming high-pitched and mixed with anger.

"Excuse me, what will be the consequences?"

"please answer me!"

Zhong Jingyi was stunned, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. His hands on the table moved restlessly, and his mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't wait for you to speak.

Luo Liya sneered with a hint of sarcasm.

"Don't you want to say it? Then I'll say it for you."

"If a person drinks a lot of water after losing too much blood, he will die~"

"will die!"

Luo Liya suddenly asked in a teasing tone, as if mocking:
"Witness, you should be very clear about this. Otherwise, why would you feed your daughter water? You knew that drinking a lot of water due to excessive blood loss would accelerate death, yet you still deliberately fed the deceased water.

After drinking bottle after bottle, it's clear that you want to kill her. You are the murderer. Do you agree with me?"

The entire courtroom was silent, leaving only Luo Liya's angry roar and the uneasiness and anger on Zhong Jingyi's face.

"I didn't, you're talking nonsense!"

"I'm talking nonsense. Why don't you look at yourself now, or ask the jury who is the guilty one."

The jury's eyes fell on Zhong Jingyi's face, and he turned his head away as if trying his best to hide his anger.

The most devastated person was Zeng Jie'er. Her eyes were filled with tears. She stared at Zhong Jingyi with disbelief and hatred, asking soul-searching questions.

"Zhong Jingyi, did you do this?"

Speaking of pain, who could compare to Zeng Jie'er, who deeply loves her daughter? She has doubted many people.

But she didn't expect that the murderer of her daughter was actually the child's biological father.

She helplessly grasped the railing, as if her soul had been drained out. What everyone saw was the pain of a mother facing the cruel truth.

The excruciating pain of adding another wound to an old one—no one with children at home could remain indifferent to this scene. Luo Liya turned around, unable to bear to watch this scene.

Jin Yuanshan let out a long sigh and stood up again.

"Your Honor, I object to the defense attorney's continued use of unfounded speculation to smear my witness."

The judge on the podium looked at Luo Liya, who waved his hand with a sharp and firm gaze.

"Your Honor, I request that Zhong Nianhua be summoned."

"allow"

A minute later, Zhong Nianhua sat in the witness stand with a cold face, and her arrogance remained, as if all this had nothing to do with him from the beginning to the end.

"Zhong Nianhua, do you know Zeng Jie'er?"

"know."

"Okay, then do you know her daughter, the deceased?"

"do not know."

"Okay, you called Zhong Jingyi on the day of the incident. What did you say on the phone? Were you instructing Zhong Jingyi to kill someone?"

Zhong Nianhua stared at Luo Liya's eyes with disdain.

"Your question is illogical. I refuse to answer it."

"Okay, since you don't like me asking this, let me put it another way. That day, when you went to work, you found Zeng Jie'er wasn't at home, but you saw her daughter with your husband, the deceased.

You were very angry because you and your husband had not had a child for so many years, but Zhong Jingyi had an eight-year-old daughter with someone else, so you pushed the deceased down in anger, causing her to hit the corner of the table. Then you were afraid that something would happen, so you hurried away.

Then he called Zhong Jingyi and asked him to help you. After Zhong Jingyi went up, he found that the deceased was still conscious and remembered you. He was worried that this incident would affect you and affect his hard-earned identity and status.

So he made a decision to feed his daughter water and kill her with his own hands.”

Having said that, Zeng Jie'er raised her eyes full of hatred.

"Zhong Jingyi, you are not a human being."

"Zhong Nianhua, am I right?"

In the witness stand, Zhong Nianhua's palms were trembling, and her face remained cold.

Yes, Luo Liya said everything right and told the truth, but so what? They had no evidence. Even if they could prove Zeng Jie'er innocent, they would be powerless to deal with her. The Zhong family would be the final winner.

Zhong Nianhua began to recall what happened that day. That day, that little bastard scolded him. Looking at the little bastard's face, she was reminded of the bastard's mother, Zeng Jie'er.

So, she pushed down the illegitimate daughter and called Zhong Jingyi to force him to choose between them. Zhong Jingyi finally chose to stand on her side, and that little bitch died.

Luo Liya chuckled and shook her head.

"Why do you have to be so cruel to a child?"

Zhong Nianhua stretched out his fingers, no longer as nervous as before, his eyes filled with great satisfaction.

"You can say whatever you want about something I haven't done."

"Maybe she died young and had a bad fate."

She knew that everyone knew she did it, but, so what, they had no evidence.

When these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was shocked, even the accuser Jin Yuanshan and the judge on the stage frowned.

What kind of person could say such words, especially in front of a mother whose child had died.

"You seem quite pleased with yourself."

Luo Liya's eyes were cold and she had lost her patience. It was time to crush the last hope of these beasts bit by bit.

"Actually, if you had been more cautious, I wouldn't have found any evidence. But unfortunately, you shouldn't have bribed the forensic doctor and left any evidence behind."

"Your Honor, I request that Judge Liang Zhongchun be summoned."
