Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 270: Wang Zhihao Only Lost a Father

Moreover, when the firefighters were putting out the fire, they indeed found banknotes...

And jewelry, clothes, furniture, and everything else inside the house, all burned.

"In the house... Wang Zhihao didn’t have anything valuable; everything burned was mine! What good does it do me to have burned Wang Zhihao’s father? Am I suicidal? Eye for an eye! All my clothes, bags, jewelry, cash... I’m the one who lost the most!"

"Wang Zhihao only lost a father; I suffered a loss of who knows how much money!"

"What can I do? I have no choice either!"

"And now you all are putting the blame entirely on me; is that reasonable? Hmm?"

"If you don’t believe me, go ask Tian Xinyu! Just ask him to find out what happened back then!!"

Zhou Wenjing spoke up.

"The fire back then happened because of the electric battery’s quality issue!"

"I was just trying to help Tian Xinyu by charging it; who could have expected the quality of this second-hand battery to be problematic! If the quality was fine, I wouldn’t have suffered such a loss." Zhou Wenjing continued.

Viewers in the livestream were all filled with question marks.

They didn’t know what actually happened.

From her actions, Zhou Wenjing indeed had the suspicion of deliberately bringing the battery home to charge.

But to say that based on this alone to accuse Zhou Wenjing of murder... the evidence is insufficient.

Bringing a second-hand battery home to charge, resulting in an explosion...

That’s still the battery’s issue.

Even if Zhou Wenjing has responsibility, it’s at most negligence.

The most it can prove is Zhou Wenjing’s manslaughter due to negligence.

To prove manslaughter, it still requires proving Zhou Wenjing knew the dangers of the second-hand battery...

With the current evidence alone, it’s still impossible to convict.

Zhou Wenjing’s statements were all quite reasonable...

Viewers in the livestream were getting a bit anxious.

Relying on this alone won’t convict Zhou Wenjing.

[What is Zhou Wenjing defending?]

[Can’t Zhou Wenjing be put away? Death sentence for Zhou Wenjing! What Zhou Wenjing said is definitely false; it needs strict investigation!]

[It must be thoroughly investigated! Who knows if Zhou Wenjing is telling the truth?]

[What if Zhou Wenjing intentionally brought an old battery home to commit murder?]

[Zhou Wenjing is casually saying things; who knows if she’s telling the truth or not. All I know is she brought the battery home and it exploded. If it were a new car battery that exploded while charging, then that’d be the fault of the electric car manufacturer. But Zhou Wenjing deliberately went to the junkyard to buy batteries that were about to be scrapped and brought them home to charge... This can’t be explained away either, right?]

Gao Yong watched the livestream and said, "We can’t directly convict Zhou Wenjing of premeditated murder yet, because it’s not possible to subjectively prove that Zhou Wenjing deliberately brought a shabby battery home to charge to commit murder. With only this evidence, it’s not enough. Let’s continue watching."

Gao Yong was quite anxious...

To convict requires strong evidence.

Just relying on this... still not enough.

Gu Chen rushed in accusing Zhou Wenjing of murder, but if it couldn’t be proven in the end, Gu Chen might have legal liability.

Because Gu Chen is just a lawyer.

The evidence was also submitted by Gu Chen...

Gao Yong felt a bit apprehensive.

Young Master Xue beside him said, "This case is hard to say; the police might interrogate Tian Xinyu, and he’s not getting away."

Gao Yong said, "Yeah, let’s see what Tian Xinyu’s testimony is like."

In the courtroom.

The prosecutor looked at Zhou Wenjing and asked, "So why did you happen to be out that day? You brought a shabby battery home to charge, then you left with three kids. After you left, the house exploded. Why?"

"That day you went out for at least eight hours. Based on previous investigations, you’ve never taken the kids out to play before. Most of the time you went out to play you went alone to a bar at night."

"Coincidentally, the explosion happened that day, and you’d just taken the kids outside. The day before you brought home the shabby battery, everything tied together seems unusual."

Zhou Wenjing looked at the prosecutor without backing down, saying, "I’m a citizen! Can’t I choose when to go out and play? I’m taking my kids out to play, and you’re asking me why?"

"Do I have to report everything I do to you judges?"

The prosecutor said nothing.

Zhou Wenjing continued, "It’s because I spend little time with the kids. It was my oldest daughter’s birthday at the time; they wanted a fancy meal and a trip to the amusement park, so I took them. Who could have predicted such a coincidence? I had no choice."

Zhou Wenjing wasn’t intimidated at all.

After all, it’s the battery that exploded; what does it have to do with her?

Who can prove she committed murder?

Isn’t it the battery’s fault?

The prosecutor continued questioning, "Then explain why you quickly sold the new electric vehicle afterward? You needed it for picking up your kids, yet you sold it right after the fire. What’s the reason?"

Zhou Wenjing said, "What reason is there? I’m scared! A battery exploded once; how could I trust another electric vehicle? Both electric vehicles are from the same manufacturer; if one exploded, how do I know the other won’t? How dare I gamble my life on it?"

The prosecutor was silent.

Insufficient evidence.

No way!

Zhou Wenjing’s words were seamless.

All the explanations matched.

This was five years ago...

It’s no wonder the police didn’t open an investigation back then.

Now with five years passed, obtaining evidence to investigate and then convict is extraordinarily difficult.

Zhou Wenjing had zero flaws in her statements; her logic was coherent all along.

If it’s like this, this case isn’t valid....

After the fire, Zhou Wenjing even filed a lawsuit against the electric vehicle manufacturer.

The final conclusion was she won....

The matter ended just like that.

Even though Zhou Wenjing has a significant suspicion, with the current evidence, it’s still insufficient to convict.

Because it doesn’t count as solid proof.

Zhou Wenjing can only be said to have a suspect’s motive....

From the motive perspective, Zhou Wenjing had no intent to commit the crime.

In terms of consequences, Zhou Wenjing also suffered significant losses from the fire.

If the case had happened just now, the police investigation could have more easily gathered evidence. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

But now, five years have passed....

The house has been renovated already.

How can it be investigated now? How can evidence be collected?

But there are way too many coincidences in this case!

But now it’s already in court; there’s no time to find evidence!

The prosecutor said nothing more.

And Zhou Wenjing was somewhat smug beside him.

Hehe...

She could fight this case alone; does she still need a lawyer?

If these people can’t provide evidence, then she’ll be suing Gu Chen!
