A ten-year rival in love

Chapter 44 Trial<1>

Sleep peacefully until dawn.

Li Xu's sleeping time is not fixed, but the time of waking up is very accurate.Especially since the court session was going to be held this morning, so he woke up at 05:30 early in the morning.

Lu Hui was in a deep sleep, with his arms hanging around his neck, warm and sticky.He pushed Lu Hui away, and Lu Hui turned over, hitting the bedside table with his hands.

"Ouch--"

He groaned and woke up with a frown. "Huh? What time is it?"

"42:[-]." Li Xu put on his clothes, "Get up, take me home first, and then go to the law firm. The court will start at [-] o'clock, and I will go to the procuratorate before that... Forget it, let Yin Huan go. She's close."

"So early?" Lu Hui rubbed his eyes and sat up, "It's too much trouble. How long will you be interrogating?"

"Not sure. It shouldn't be more than two hours, maybe three hours at most."

Lu Hui looked shocked: "So long?"

"If it's an ordinary civil case, it only takes 10 minutes. A criminal case can be concluded in 10 minutes." Li Xu opened the bathroom door, "I'm not lucky, I got a big case."

Lu Hui lazily got up, put himself into his clothes and trousers, walked to Li Xu's side, took out a cup, squeezed toothpaste and began to wash.

The two of them brushed their teeth together, Lu Hui looked at Li Xu in the mirror, feeling a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Ah - this kind of warm and happy life of husband and wife.

Ah - my beautiful and attractive daughter-in-law.

Ah - very happy.

Li Xu finished brushing first, and washed his face in a hurry.Lu Hui muttered, but Li Xu didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Lu Hui had a mouth full of foam: "Nigendian is messing around?"

Li Xu: "Say it again."

Lu Hui spit out the foam in his mouth. "What did you eat this morning?"

"Whatever." Li Xu turned and entered the room.

Ah—it’s just that my wife likes to talk casually.

Tsk, this is not a Capricorn at all.

Lu Hui, a layman, could only watch Li Xu running back and forth, checking over and over again with similar documents.It was not easy for his little assistant, he was so busy that he was dizzy.

When they arrived at the courthouse, the other party had just arrived.

Xiang He and another police officer brought a tall man with his hands cuffed behind his back, and met Lu Hui's gaze.Strange, why does this person look familiar.

Just as Lu Hui wanted to ask Li Xu who that person was, he found Li Xu standing behind him, talking to Yin Huan.

He looked back again, Xiang and they had already entered the court.

"Yang Yannan is coming." Li Xu said to him, "Do you want to go back first? You slept late, go catch up on sleep."

"It's okay, I'll go in and wait, as an observer." He leaned closer to Li Xu's ear, "Look at how my wife is showing off her prestige."

Li Xu pushed him away calmly, and took out a witness card from his briefcase.

Concerned about the wrong occasion, Lu Hui had no choice but to restrain his coquettishness, took the certificate, and said a word normally. "Then I'll go in, come on."

Li Xu saw that the mouth shape he then made up was: Come on baby.

He couldn't help laughing.

This person is really childish.

Seeing Lu Hui walk into the gate of the court, he said to Yin Huan: "You go in first, and I will wait for Yang Yannan in front."

Lu Hui sat down in the listening area and checked the time for a few minutes. Feeling bored, he took out his mobile phone.Not long after he took it out, a woman in formal attire came over and reminded him to mute his phone.

Lu Hui responded, looking up to see what was written on the sign on her chest, the woman noticed his gaze, straightened up suddenly, and gave him a hard look.

Lu Hui felt that he had been wronged, he was really a pure hearted person.

After waiting for a while, the parties and the entrusted agents on both sides sat down respectively.

He saw Li Xu following Yang Yannan, sat down, glanced at the opposite side, turned his head and said something to the assistant next to him, and the assistant nodded in response.

The people sitting next to him were either gentle-looking people or half-century-old old ladies, not even a whisper.Lu Hui had no choice but to cast all his eyes on Li Xu.

Up to now, he has seen various appearances of Li Xu, but he has never seen Li Xu arguing with others.

He was shocked when he found out that Li Xu was a lawyer. Li Xu is such a bored person, it would be a waste of energy to say a word, how do you do such a job that requires a lot of talking?

The clerk wearing glasses cleared his throat: "Please be quiet, and the court discipline is announced now. According to..."

Lu Hui saw Li Xu talking to Yang Yannan, Yang Yannan didn't know what he said, Li Xu smiled.

Tsk.Lu Hui crossed his legs and bumped his knees too high into a lady's chair in front of him.The lady looked back at him.

Lu Hui whispered: "...I'm sorry."

The lady turned back blankly.

Lu Hui spoke again in a low voice. "Tsk."

"[-]. The parties and other litigation participants are not allowed to leave the court midway, and are not allowed to speak or ask questions without the consent of the presiding judge. When asking questions, they should stand up, pay attention to civility, and must not attack or insult others;

[-]. Without the permission of the court, no one is allowed to record, photograph or video record in court.

......"

No wonder Li Xu said it would take two to three hours to finish the work, Lu Hui rolled his eyes, and said that it would take 10 minutes to break the discipline.

As soon as he finished thinking this way, the glasses clerk closed his mouth, cleared his throat again, and continued: "Now the presiding judge and the members of the court of this case are invited to enter the courtroom, and all stand up."

Everyone around Lu Hui stood up, and for some reason he also stood up.What the fuck, the observers have to stand up?so troublesome.

Three people in black robes took the middle seat, and a group of people sat down again.

The clerk who spoke just said a few words to the woman in the middle, who nodded and patted the table with that gavel-like thing.

"The court is now open. The People's Court of the xx District of S City is openly hearing the accusation of serial murder and torture. The plaintiff Wu Kai and the defendant Yang Yannan..."

Lu Hui silently took out his mobile phone to check the time.

Wang Yishan sent him a text message: Your wife is capable enough.Are you really going to watch him help Yang Yannan?

He replied: He has already accepted this matter, and it is impossible for me to stop him.He has already promised me to cut off contact with Yang Yannan after this matter, and it won't be too late for us to act again.

Wang Yishan: Then what if he doesn’t listen to you?

Lu Hui put away his phone, pretending he didn't see it.

At this time, Yang Yannan was standing beside the defendant, and the presiding judge asked him, "The defendant, Yang Yannan, does he have another name?"

Yang Yannan: "No."

"place of birth?"

"N city."

"Not a local? When did you come to S City and what occupation do you do?"

"Come here 30 years ago. I'm now the director of surgery at City Center Hospital."

"Does the plaintiff contest the identity of the defendant?"

Wu Kai and Yang Yannan looked at each other, Wu Kai hummed and smiled. "No."

Li Xu's gaze was fixed on the other person's face all the time, he didn't know who he was looking at, his expression was indifferent, with a sense of arrogant contempt.The opposing lawyer also looked at Li Xu with a provocative look, with a contemptuous smile on his lips.

Lu Hui felt that he saw himself when he first met Li Xu, thinking that Li Xu looked down on him because of his lofty heart, but in fact Li Xu didn't look at him at all.

The opposing lawyer stood up and greeted the presiding judge in a pretentious manner.

"Our party applied for a lawsuit against the defendant, arguing that he was the instigator of the recent murder and torture case and should bear the main responsibility for the case."

The evidence they provided here included several photos: one from the back and two group photos.

Li Xu's expression froze when he saw the photo.Yang Yannan in the photo was obviously not forced. His relationship with Wu Kai at that time was not purely for profit as he said, and it was obvious that he had made friends with him.

Yang Yannan didn't fully tell him the truth, and concealed something.

Although he was mentally prepared for this point, he still felt a little annoyed when it actually happened.

After all, he is a friend of his father, so he still respects his father's generation.And his purpose is to deal with Wu Kai, and he can't make other mistakes.

Wu Kai behaved very honestly this time, and did not speak glibly: "Yang Yannan and I met in a bar, that Cinderella bar. It was many years ago before I was imprisoned. I worked in a bar, and he often brought Followed his son over there, came and went, and got to know each other."

Hearing something related to Yang Qi'an, Lu Hui pricked up his ears.

"This old guy gets messed up when he's drunk, and he likes to beat people." Wu Kai said with a smile, "Beat his son, and once told his son that he was going to kill him."

Lu Hui clenched his fists, he looked at Li Xu, Li Xu's expression didn't change.Yang Yannan had a big reaction, he frowned, and said angrily in a deep voice, "Don't spout blood!"

The clerk reminded: "Defendant, please control your emotions and let the plaintiff finish."

"Later I went to jail, and when I came out again, I had no place to live, so I found a place to live in a small abandoned factory building. Guess what? One night, I heard something..." Wu Kai grinned grimly, "Seeing us Dr. Yang is... rape, rape, dead, corpse! He's not completely dead, his legs are still throbbing—"

As soon as these words came out, the reserve and calmness of the audience was gone, and there was an uproar.

The presiding judge patted the table again. "Plaintiff, watch your words!"

Li Xu stood up and asked, "Judge, I have a question."

The judge gave permission.

"Excuse me, Mr. Wu, can you provide relevant evidence for the crime you just stated about our client?"

The other party's lawyer wanted to stop it, but the presiding judge said: "The questioning is valid."

Wu Kai said: "Even if I show the evidence, you don't dare to look at it. You don't believe what I said. The police have tested me for a lie, and you can tell if what I said is true if you bring the lie test record. "

Judge: "What about the polygraph record?"

As soon as the record was handed in, Li Xu showed a puzzled smile and said to the presiding judge: "Thank you, my question is over."

The opposing lawyer was worried, and was a little shocked by Wu Kai's disjointedness just now, and he couldn't show a gaffe, so he could only goug him out.

The trial continues.
