Chapter 336: Breaking the ice

Zishan completely did not expect things will evolve into the present situation, turned her head to look at Jiang Tao she wanted to speak, but this is the court did not get permission she can not speak casually, she can now do is to let Jiang Tao know, no matter how much evidence she wants to wait for only Jiang Tao a sentence.

Jiang Tao to the purple Shan slightly nodded to indicate that she is not too worried, and then clear answer to the words of the judge: “I have objections, today’s matter for me is very unfair, I request to suspend Li Rongxuan murder of Li Zisan’s case, the court to launch an investigation to return me to a clean slate. What I can say to the judge is that I have not been to the detention center, let alone met with Li Rongxuan.”

The judge thought for a moment, “There are witnesses and there is evidence, lawyer Jiang Tao, do you really want to investigate in court?” If Jiang Tao’s wrongdoings were proven in court, then of course Jiang Tao’s qualification as a lawyer would be immediately canceled, which would be a fatal blow to any lawyer.

Jiang Tao nodded, “I insist, Judge.” After he finished speaking, he looked sideways at Lin Hao for a moment, the corner of his mouth picking up slightly upwards, “Although I’m not well known, I believe that the truth is the truth, and the judge can definitely clear my name in court.”

The judge looked at the public prosecutor, “Do you have any objections?” Today’s case just opened let him a bit of a headache, the public prosecutor and the defendant’s lawyer has not yet exchanged blows, there is a conflict with the victim’s lawyer – what is this all about, he has been a judge for nearly twenty years, but also really the first encounter on.

The public prosecutor shook her head, “Agree to investigate in court.” She glanced at Jiang Tao’s eyes brought out all the shame: “Lawyers can not be allowed to have this black sheep in the team.” Her meaning is to investigate clearly so that Jiang Tao has nothing to say, when the time to lose the qualification of the lawyer Jiang Tao to face the sanctions of the law.

The judge agreed, and then there was not much for Zi Shan to do, and Li Rongxuan’s case was temporarily pressed back.

Jiang Tao’s complexion is very calm: “Judge, the prosecutor has evidence and witnesses, evidence we have not yet seen now is not good to say anything, but the witnesses words I expressed anger at this – two people can be for the evidence is known to everyone, the prosecutor’s allegations against me in the two witnesses at least one of the qualifications are problematic of them.”

“Li Rongxuan,” his finger pointed towards Li Rongxuan, “he is the defendant, my client has too much to gain from not having an attorney at the beginning of the trial, the stakes are obvious at a glance, I don’t understand why as a prosecutor I would take this person’s testimony, now I am asking the judge to cancel Lee Rongxuan’s testimony to show the justice of the law.”

The judge immediately nodded, “Adopted.”

“Two people can be witnesses, at this time, only a cleaning worker from the detention center is a witness, I once again apply to cancel the witness’s testimony, because one person cannot be a witness.” Jiang Tao once again calmly plead, words are not much but words hit the key points, even if the public prosecutor wants to say no, but Jiang Tao’s words are in line with the law, she can only close her mouth.

The judge immediately agreed, the accusation of Jiang Tao immediately lost witnesses, only the remaining video data can be evidence, physical evidence to be more important than the evidence, in many cases and no witnesses as well as the case can be finalized, and generally speaking, the police pay more attention to the physical evidence, because the physical evidence will not tell lies. So even if Jiang Tao excluded witnesses, as long as the video has something unfavorable to him he will be taken away by the police, things did not ease much.

Zisan didn’t really understand this, but she had been paying attention to Lin Hao, and when she realized that Lin Hao’s eyes flashed with surprise before he got up and left, she knew that Jiang Tao wasn’t in much danger anymore – and she was most happy that she had trusted the right person, and that Jiang Tao hadn’t let her down.

The court began to play the video.

From the beginning to the end of the so-called Jiang Tao’s face, at best, people can see the chin or a small half of the side of the face, can not be concluded that the person is Jiang Tao. And the public prosecutor’s opinion is – Jiang Tao is to discuss with Li Rongxuan illegal things, of course, will be very careful not to let the surveillance camera to capture his face – especially that hat look how superfluous ah, that is camouflage.

Jiang Tao, however, just said lightly, “It cannot be concluded that the person is my words, according to the law the benefit has to go to the defendant, so this video is not enough to testify that I met with Li Rongxuan, and there is no sound on the video, and even less to confirm that the person on the video said something to Li Rongxuan.”

The judge looked at the public prosecutor, “If you have no other evidence, then I’m going to rule that Lawyer Jiang Tao is qualified to be the victim’s lawyer, and you can raise any objections now.”

The public prosecutor’s face changed slightly, looking at Zi Shan’s eyes revealed worry, how could she allow a person with evil intentions to represent the victim? Her duty would not allow such a thing to happen, but to object there was nothing convincing, empty words the judge would not listen.

Zishan looked at Jiang Tao, really the first time to find him very powerful – originally she, like others, eyes only Lin Hao, the barrister, never to often mix with the children Jiang Tao as a capable lawyer to look at, thought he is Lin Hao’s friend, little brother only.

Looked at the plain a few words nothing out of the ordinary, but let Jiang Tao get rid of the so-called accusation, in Zi Shan’s opinion just now whether it is the evidence or witnesses will make Jiang Tao can not get out of the way.

The public prosecutor sighed and was just about to open her mouth when one of her assistants suddenly walked behind her and whispered a few words in her ear, she immediately stood up, “Judge, we have new evidence that proves that Lawyer Jiang Tao did indeed go to the detention center to meet with Li Rongxuan.”

She first pressed the rewind button on the video until a small piece of that so-called thing Jiang Tao brought out when he took something appeared on the screen-perhaps it was a piece of paper, it wasn’t too clear to see.

“Look here, everyone, Jiang Tao accidentally dropped something when he went to see Li Rongxuan, but he didn’t know it himself,” she pressed the play button, and saw the so-called Jiang Tao and Li Rongxuan finish their conversation and stand up to leave, and the thing that fell under the table he didn’t notice and left straight away, “Look, the cleaning man came in, he saw the piece of paper and picked it up.”

The prosecutor looked to the judge, “I would like to ask the judge to allow the cleaner to testify that he can confirm where that piece of paper came from.” She finished looking at Jiang Tao, that means you have nothing to say now, right?

Zi Shan was a bit surprised, she didn’t expect things to actually go against Jiang Tao again, she couldn’t help but look back over, and sure enough, Lin Hao had already returned to his seat! She looked at her angrily, but Lin Hao just stared back at her calmly, no anger or division there was still caring.

The judge had a cleaning worker brought in, who testified that he had picked up a work permit on the floor, and since he saw that it belonged to a lawyer, he gave it to the police at the detention center. The prosecutor then asked the police to come out and testify – seeing that the name on the ID card was different from the name signed by the visitor, the police officer paid attention and reported the matter to the relevant leaders, and the prosecutor eventually became aware of the matter and was given video and other evidence.

The photo on the work permit is Jiang Tao’s, the name is also Jiang Tao’s, do not need to say anything more as long as you see know that it is Jiang Tao’s things.

Jiang Tao touched his chin: “My work permit was lost, and later reissued, this matter can ask colleagues in the firm to testify.”

The public prosecutor refuted, “Lost is lost, you just didn’t expect it to be lost in the detention center, right? Judge, please look at these signatures, he didn’t go to see Li Rongxuan many times, just twice, but the signatures are all Lin Hao! However, Mr. Lin also went to see the detention center, and the name signed is very similar to these two times, but the result of the handwriting identification is completely different, and looking at the date, it just happens to coincide with the time on the video. Therefore, I have enough evidence to charge Jiang Tao.”

The judge looked over the visitor’s register of the detention center and had it handed over to Jiang Tao: “You, can you explain?”

Dead Bureau? The work permit is indeed really lost, and the signature looks similar to Lin Hao, well, he can apply for an identification of the handwriting, but the identification results will take time, by the time the results come out Li Rongxuan’s case will be over long time ago, and his reputation will also be destroyed in the questioning voice, the qualification of the attorney is to keep it also won’t have anyone to entrust him again.

Zishan looked at Jiang Tao worriedly, do not know what to do now can help him, still believe Jiang Tao, intuition, completely intuition, but she knew she would not be wrong.

Jiang Tao looked at her with a slight smile, looked up at the judge: “Identify the handwriting, that’s not my signature. At the same time, I’m applying for another person to authenticate the handwriting together, that’s Lawyer Lin Hao, because that impersonator used Lawyer Lin’s name, I think it’s only right that Lawyer Lin’s handwriting should be authenticated as well.”

The public prosecutor said lightly, “It has already been identified.”

“It’s right-handed, right? Can the left-handed one be authenticated?” Jiang Tao smiled and looked at Lin Hao, “Sometimes too much familiarity really isn’t a good thing, right? You know me well, but don’t forget that I know you well too. It doesn’t matter if I’m Zi Shan’s lawyer or not, but Barrister Lin has to accompany me in order to do so.”

His understanding of winning wasn’t quite the same as the next person’s, in the current situation he thought that as long as he pestered Lin Hao, he and Zi Shan would be considered winners, because the case was clear and the public prosecutor was very serious – even though she was deliberately lured by Lin Hao to take a wrong step, she was really serious about her work and wouldn’t let Li Rongxuan off the hook. So, with a decent lawyer, Lee Rongxuan would definitely get his due punishment.

Until the case was over, if he couldn’t participate then it was going to be Lin Hao who couldn’t participate either, so the loser would definitely be Lin Hao.

The prosecutor froze, although she said that she did not believe that Lin Hao would use his left hand to sign for himself, but she thought that she should give Lin Hao’s handwriting on his left hand to do a bit of appraisal, so that it is considered to be fair and impartial will not have the possibility of error, she immediately agreed, because she is not against Jiang Tao, but just want to do her job, so as long as it is a reasonable thing she will not stop.

The judge, of course, would have no objections, and the matter could only be put on hold because of the handwriting, and because Lin Hao was also involved in the case, he couldn’t follow up on the case – the result was of course different from what Lin Hao had initially thought. It can only be said that Jiang Tao’s progress is Lin Hao did not realize, he is still looking at Jiang Tao with the same eyes as before, and still think that Jiang Tao is the same Jiang lawyer he knew before.

Because of the problems with Zi Shan’s lawyer, Li Rongxuan’s case was forced to interrupt the trial, which is not a bad thing for Zi Shan, at least she can have time to deal with Li Yaoxu’s aftermath.

Lin Hao walked over to her as she stepped out of the courtroom, “Zi Shan, do you trust him that much? That work permit is something he can’t justify, you really don’t suspect anything at all? The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you’ll be able to do it in a way that’s easy to understand! You ask Jiang Tao, once upon a time I treated you with false love?”
