With a calm expression, Keven snatched the names of his classmates from Gu Nianzhi’s hands and began flipping through them.
“Give me a pen.”He reached out to the team of lawyers behind him.
Arif, the Indian lawyer, immediately handed him his pen.
Keven held the pen in his hand as he flipped through the names of his classmates. At the same time, he circled five of them.
Two of them were in the eleventh grade that Gu Nianzhi had requested, and three of them were his fourth-year classmates.
When he handed the name list back to Gu Nianzhi, Keven said lightly, “I don’t remember most of the fifth-grade students in primary school, so I only picked the eleventh-grade and fourth-year students.”
Gu Nianzhi pursed her lips and put on a forced expression. “Really? Are you sure these five students are all your classmates? You’re not going to say you remembered wrongly again, are you? Why Don’t you take a look again?”
Keven looked down at the three yearbooks again and said, “This is the school I went to. How can I not remember? If you don’t believe me, go check the school’s graduation list.”
After receiving Keven’s affirmative reply, Gu Nianzhi’s emotions gradually returned to normal. She was no longer as flustered as before.
She put away the yearbook that Keven had circled and turned around to look at the courtroom with a smile, she said, “Your honor, the defendant, Keven, has chosen five of his classmates. Although they were chosen at random, Keven has confirmed that these five classmates are indeed his classmates.”
The judge:”…”
What do you mean by all this?
People who did not know would think that you were the defendant’s lawyer, not the prosecution’s lawyer.
The judge was not the only one who thought this way. Even Keven’s American team of lawyers looked at Gu Nianzhi in confusion, not understanding what she was trying to do.
Keven was the only one who was secretly clenching his fists. His downcast eyes flickered, and for the first time, he felt uneasy.
Sure enough, it didn’t take long for Gu Nianzhi to connect to the big screen in the courtroom again. She gestured to the tech guy and said, “I’m going to play five interview videos now. Please turn the volume down.”
This was because when the surveillance video was being played earlier, the volume had to be turned up so that it could be heard.
Now, it was a special interview video, and the volume was still so high that it would deafen everyone’s ears.
The Tech Guy promptly adjusted the volume and turned it down.
Gu Nianzhi raised her hand to the people in the courtroom and said, “Everyone saw it. The defendant, Keven, just circled five people’s names and announced that these five people were his classmates.”
As she spoke, she pulled out the powerpoint version of the classmate roster and played it for everyone to see.
“The students that the defendant, Keven, has just joined are grade 11’s Kelly and Mike, as well as Senior’s Nikki, Heather, and Chris.”
“There are a total of three women, two men, and five people.”
“I have the interview videos of these five people, please take a look.”
Next, Gu Nianzhi pulled out the interview videos of the five people. Each of them only had about a minute, and it was very short.
Kelly: [ you asked Kevin (Keven) ? ]? Oh, I remember him. He was a very shy and introverted boy who didn’t like to talk to others. I remember him because he had once demonstrated his tea ceremony from Japan. He was very elegant and unforgettable.
Mike: [ Kevin? Of course I know him! Although we didn’t have many classes together, I’m afraid not many people in the entire grade don’t remember him. Because he looks small, but he’s very good at fighting. He’s a karate expert. ].
Nikki: [ Kevin? I think I have a classmate, but we only had a few big classes together. I’m not familiar with him ].
Heather: [ Kevin is a very good cook. We used to be very familiar with their dorm. We went out to picnic together. The Japanese sushi he brought was very delicious. I haven’t eaten such delicious sushi since I graduated ].
Chris: [ Kevin and I are quite familiar. ]. He was japanese-american. It was said that his grandparents had come to the United States since World War II. Oh, right, his grandparents were also imprisoned in a concentration camp — the Japanese concentration camp in the United States. I sympathize with their plight. It would be wrong if they were imprisoned in a concentration camp without doing anything wrong. ].
After the five-minute video ended, the smile on Gu Nianzhi’s face grew wider and wider.
The others were still frowning as they thought about Gu Nianzhi’s intentions, but Lu Anpeng’s heart skipped a beat. He had noticed a problem.
However, he was very cautious. He wouldn’t speak rashly until he had thought it through.
But the Indian lawyer, Arif, had already shouted, “What does lawyer Gu Mean?”? ! My client had just randomly tagged a classmate, and you had already obtained the interview video ? ! This is too unbelievable! You’re Faking It! These videos are all fake!”
Gu Nianzhi smiled. “What’s so hard to understand?”? Mr. Arif, actually, I have all the interview videos of Mr. Kevin’s fifth, eleventh, and fourth year classmates. So no matter who Mr. Keven chooses, I can immediately show you the relevant interview videos.”
“All I need is a search function.”
Gu Nianzhi shrugged and smiled at him in a relaxed manner.
Arif, the Indian lawyer, stared at Gu Nianzhi with his mouth agape. There was only one thought in his mind: How could this be possible? !
Indeed, this woman’s fame had spread far and wide at such a young age. She really wasn’t just being hyped up..
The Indian lawyer was speechless. Lu Anpeng was silent again. The white lawyer sitting on the right, Paul Creedon, spoke in Chinese with a Southern American accent.
“But even if your interview video is real, what does it mean?”Paul said carefully. His Chinese wasn’t as fluent as Arif and Lu Anpeng’s, but he didn’t use the wrong grammar or rhetoric, it was just that his pronunciation had a southern American accent, like a bullet that could not be bent.
“These five people have confirmed that my client is their classmate. Doesn’t this prove that his identity is unquestionable?”
“He is Keven Laris, the Cultural Counsellor of the Huaxia Empire appointed by our President and Secretary of State, so he enjoys unquestionable diplomatic immunity.”
“This is a false accusation. He should never have stood here to be tried.”
“I urge the Huaxia Court Martial to immediately withdraw the case and compensate my client for all his losses, including, but not limited to, his legal fees.”
Gu Nianzhi scoffed and shook her head. “As expected, lawyer Paul is most concerned about the issue of his legal fees. This is the right direction. I agree with you.”
Paul was in his sixties. Naturally, he would not be angered by Gu Nianzhi’s innuendo.
He bowed slightly and said, “Legal fees are already quite an expense for my client.”
Gu Nianzhi nodded, he said sympathetically, “That’s true. You’re all famous criminal trial lawyers in the United States. Each of you has a very high appearance fee. “So many people gathered together and stayed in Huaxia for more than two months. The accumulated fees are already sky-high.”
Arif, the Indian lawyer, came back to his senses and immediately said, “Thank you, lawyer Gu, for settling the score for us. But at this time, shouldn’t we discuss how to dismiss the case and compensate my client?”
Gu Nianzhi’s light gaze swept across the room. She tapped her fingers lightly, and the video on the computer changed. What appeared now was no longer an interview with Keven, but Keven’s executive resume from Carlyle, it was a verification of Keven’s identity when he had filed the case with the imperial capital’s high-level court martial.
Gu Nianzhi’s voice suddenly became serious, she said, “Everyone, please take a look. The person involved in this case, Keven Laris, has always been of Chinese descent in China! This includes, but is not limited to, his passport, driver’s license, and credit card application!”
“The important thing must be said three times: Chinese descent! Chinese descent! Chinese descent!”
She then switched to the video and said, “However, according to the resume of the Cultural Counsellor appointment letter, the five students who were selected by Keven just now all said that he was Japanese! Japanese! Japanese!”
“How can you prove that the Japanese Keven in the Cultural Counsellor appointment letter is the Chinese Keven in this case? !”
