Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1594: Cheer Frantically

In the courtroom, the judge and the two jurors discussed in a low voice.

For evidence to be accepted by the court, it had to be justified.

If the the loopholes in the testimony could not be explained, then the testimony would be invalid and should not be accepted by the court.

Gu Nianzhi's two experiments had proved the uncertainty and non objectivity of the testimony by the passersby.

Actually, if Wen Shouyi could also testify that the two people were Gu Xiangwen and the twelve-year-old Gu Nianzhi, then the credibility of this testimony would be even higher.

Unfortunately, among the three witnesses, being the one who was most familiar with Gu Nianzhi, she had insisted that she did not know who the two people were. This was a very strong counter evidence, and it was from the defense.

The judge and the two jurors considered carefully and agreed to Gu Nianzhi's request.

"The plaintiff's lawyer has a point. If the defense can not produce stronger evidence, the testimony of these two passersby will be declared invalid."

Up until now, two of the three ironclad pieces of evidence on the chain of evidence had already been invalidated.

Now, there was only one piece of "ironclad" left, and it was also the most reliable piece of evidence. It was the handwritten note from Gu Xiangwen.

Jin Wanyi's eyes darkened. She pursed her lips tightly, revealing her square jaw.

Wen Shouyi looked at Gu Nianzhi expressionlessly. She wanted to see how she was going to overturn this most reliable piece of evidence.

Gu Nianzhi knew that everyone in the courtroom was watching her, waiting for her to refute the other party's last piece of evidence.

This piece of evidence, although it looked the most difficult to overturn, was not difficult at all if one understood the secret behind it.

Gu Nianzhi clicked open a folder again with her mouse and opened a image file inside.

This was the note from Gu Xiangwen: "You don't have to look out anymore. I've taken my daughter away!"

Gu Nianzhi felt her teeth ache when she saw this flamboyant sentence.

Her father was so flamboyant and wild…

Lu Jin covered his face and wished he could hide under the seat.

How could he have thought of such a stupid sentence in the past!

He could have warned Gu Nianzhi what had happened, but because he was too embarrassed and didn't really want to overturn the case, he didn't say anything and just let it go.

But now that Gu Nianzhi wanted to overturn the case, he could only watch by the side, trembling with fear.

At that moment, Lu Jin was extremely glad that he hadn't told Gu Nianzhi about the note.

He silently thought that if Gu Nianzhi could overturn the "irrefutable evidence" of the note, then… he would have to reevaluate his daughter's legal abilities.

Gu Nianzhi's gaze lightly swept across the courtroom, stopping for a moment on Lu Jin's lowered head before moving away as if nothing had happened.

Looking back at the big screen, Gu Nianzhi said to the judge, "Your Honor, can I see the original copy of the note with my own eyes?"

The judge nodded. "Yes."

She signaled the bailiff to place the transparent plastic bag containing the original copy of the note in front of her.

Gu Nianzhi put on the translucent latex gloves in front of everyone. She carefully opened the transparent plastic bag and took out the note.

Holding the note, she walked to the dock and placed it on the table in front of Wen Shouyi and Jin Wanyi. She asked seriously, "Can you confirm again that this note is the one that was handed to He Zhichu eight years ago?"

Eight years ago, He Zhichu had no idea who the kidnapper was until the guards who had been hypnotized delivered the note. Then Wen Shouyi said she saw the man and the little girl getting into the car. Subsequently two passerby confirmed that they had also seen a tall and thin man and a chubby little girl getting into the car.

Under these three evidence, then only He Zhichu pinned the culprit on Gu Xiangwen.

A month later, there was a car fire in the downtown area of C City. Although Gu Xiangwen and the car were burned to the ground, it was concluded that Gu Nianzhi's sudden disappearance had been caused by Gu Xiangwen…

There was no better evidence than Gu Xiangwen's personal note.

Jin Wanyi grinned and beamed. "Yes! This is the original copy of the note!"

Wen Shouyi also said in dismay, "This is the one. I saw the guard hand it to Young Master He with my own eyes."

"So this is the evidence that Gu Xiangwen had wanted to kidnap me eight years ago, right?" Gu Nianzhi confirmed again and fixed her gaze on Wen Shouyi.

Wen Shouyi's heart skipped a beat. She had a feeling that something was wrong.

It was because every time Gu Nianzhi said this, it was like she was digging a hole for them to jump into.

Tricks, they were all tricks!

But when she thought about it carefully, she realized that other things could be faked, but this note was definitely Gu Xiangwen's handiwork.

What was she afraid of?!

Wen Shouyi reluctantly nodded under Gu Nianzhi's burning gaze. "Yes, this is the strongest evidence. It proves that everything was done by Gu Xiangwen. It has nothing to do with my parents, and it has nothing to do with me!"

"Don't rush to deny it." Gu Nianzhi smiled and glanced at her. She took the note back to the plaintiff's table and suddenly said, "Your Honor, I'd like to apply for an instrument."

The judge was slightly startled. "Apply for an instrument? Now?"

"Yes." Gu Nianzhi nodded. "I'd like to apply for an instrument in court that can test the time of handwriting formation."

She had already asked around and found out that the imperial capital's Intermediate People's Court happened to have such an instrument.

However, it was difficult to rent it out and could only be used in court. This would be more credible.

Gu Nianzhi did not inform the court in advance. Instead, she waited until the last piece of evidence was examined before bringing it up on the spot.

This would also prevent the other party from taking the opportunity to "destroy" the evidence.

The judge heard that it was an instrument to test the time when the handwriting was formed, he quickly nodded and said, "Sure, I'll get someone to borrow one."

The instrument was now miniaturized, and was about the size of a scanner.

In the archaeology community, the carbon 14 dating method was generally used to measure the age range of historical relics.

However, the identification of the time when the handwriting was formed used to be more complicated and stricter.

Then came the ultra-high performance gas chromatograph.

It mainly analyzed volatile organic compounds, especially ink.

When the ink was written on the paper, it could be analyzed by gas chromatography. Through the ink impregnation of the paper, the polymer compounds were split into volatile low-molecular fragments.

All of this could be seen under the ultra-high performance small gas chromatograph. You could get technical data such as the number of peaks, retention time, and peak-to-height ratio of the ink-impregnated paper. From this, the approximate time when the handwriting was formed could be deduced.

Although currently it could not precisely provide the date, the time, the minute and the second of the handwriting formation, it was no longer a problem to be precise with the month and the year of the handwriting formation.

Gu Nianzhi's request made Lu Jin looked up immediately. He looked at her in astonishment.

He did not expect Gu Nianzhi to detect the time when the handwriting of the note was formed in an instant!

He had never mentioned this to Gu Nianzhi. It was all Gu Nianzhi's idea!

How on earth did he give birth to such a smart daughter?!

Lu Jin frantically cheered for himself n his heart…

…

Jin Wanyi watched curiously as the bailiff handed over the ultra-high-performance instrument to Gu Nianzhi.

Wen Shouyi also looked at Gu Nianzhi in confusion, not knowing what she was going to do.

Why didn't she ask for the authenticity of the handwriting? Why did she ask for the time when the handwriting was formed?

Wen Shouyi knew that the note was indeed Gu Xiangwen's handwriting, which was why they were so sure that the chain of evidence was flawless.

But Gu Nianzhi… what was she going to do?

Under the watchful eyes of the people in the courtroom, Gu Nianzhi completed the examination of the time when the handwriting on the note was formed.

With the help of this ultra-high-performance small-scale instrument, Gu Nianzhi reached a conclusion 10 minutes later.

"Your Honor, according to the defendant, this note was written eight years ago, but the gas chromatograph provided by the court has just detected that the time when the handwriting was formed was not October eight years ago, but June 14 years ago!"

Gu Nianzhi's words were like a drop of cold water that had suddenly fallen into a pot of oil. Everyone's minds were blown.

Jin Wanyi quickly stood up. "Lawyer Gu, what do you mean? Even if this note was not written eight years ago but was written 14 years ago, it was still written by Gu Xiangwen! You did not deny that this is Gu Xiangwen's handwriting!"

"Yes, I did not deny that this is Gu Xiangwen's handwriting, but the timing of the handwriting is crucial." Gu Nianzhi's face darkened, she said coldly, "Fourteen years ago, in June, I was not even six years old. At that time, I was not at the He family at all, but with Qin Yaoguang."

"Why did my father, Gu Xiangwen, write a note to the He family fourteen years ago saying that he was taking me away?!"

"Are you stupid enough to believe such nonsense, or am I stupid enough to believe in your professional abilities?!"

Jin Wanyi was outraged by Gu Nianzhi's sharp words.

She shouted, "Objection! The plaintiff's lawyer has made a personal attack on me!"

Gu Nianzhi finally rolled her eyes and ignored Jin Wanyi. She continued, "Actually, the reason is very simple once you understand the timeline."

"This note was indeed written by my father, Gu Xiangwen, but it wasn't written to the He family on my birthday party eight years ago. Instead, it was written to Qin Yaoguang 14 years ago!"

"Because in that year, my father took me away from Qin Yaoguang and sent me to the He family!"

"And now, a note that should had fallen into Qin Yaoguang's hands has actually fallen into the hands of the He family. It has become irrefutable evidence that Gu Xiangwen took me away from the He family. Isn't this framing? !"

"I have reason to believe that a new suspect has appeared in this case. It is Qin Yaoguang!"
