Chapter 2530 - 2530: Twins
Lu Wenhui smiled, but it was difficult to show a sincere smile.
Since Zhou Zefan refused to apologize, Han Chang naturally would not issue a letter of understanding.
The matter of Zhou Zefan deliberately hurting someone was prosecuted, and the trial started that day.
Qiao Weiyang arrived at the event location very early. The surroundings were filled with people who came to spectate. Many of them were from Hua Wen Jewelry.
They did not mean to see Zhou Zefan in dire straits, but their interests were related. Everyone wanted to know the outcome as soon as possible.
Han Chang, who was sitting in a wheelchair, attracted the sympathy of many people the moment he appeared. His face was pale, and there was a medical bandage vaguely visible under his clothes. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.
Han Tian followed him, frequently checking in on him.
The trial officially began.
Although everyone already knew about the case, after hearing the introduction again, they still felt that Zhou Zefan had gone too far.
Han Chang’s lawyer looked indignant. “If everyone is allowed to point their knives and guns at each other due to feelings of dissatisfaction, how can we guarantee each other’s safety? If we stab others at the drop of a hat, who would dare to get close to someone like Zhou Zefan?”
Obviously, Han Chang’s lawyer wanted to incite more people to dislike Zhou Zefan and fight for more sympathy for Han Chang.
“Objection,” Zhou Zefan’s defense lawyer immediately said. “This is all hypothetical and not on a factual basis.”
“Sustained,” the judge said. “Plaintiff’s counsel, please pay attention to your words and produce the appropriate evidence.”
Han Chang’s lawyer immediately took out the evidence. “Because of what happened before, Zhou Zefan has a grudge against Han Chang. He thinks that
Han Chang is the one who caused his father’s death. However, we’ve already pulled out detailed information. Zhou Zefan’s father passed away from depression. There’s no evidence to prove that his death had anything to do with our client, Han Chang. On the day of the accident, Han Chang came out of the hotel after discussing something with his friends. Although he had several people with him, considering Zhou Zefan is the son of his old friend, he didn’t guard against him and let him get close.
“Unexpectedly, Zhou Zefan stabbed him. Just as he was about to escape, he was caught by the people around Han Chang, and they called the police to send Zhou Zefan to the police station. This was what happened that night. There’s also the dagger that Zhou Zefan stabbed Han Chang with and Han Chang’s wound.
“We can see that Zhou Zefan is left-handed. Han Chang’s wound was examined by a forensic doctor. The perpetrator is someone who’s good at using their left hand.
“This also proves that Zhou Zefan is the perpetrator who stabbed Han Chang.”
This evidence was almost certain. It had always been Han Chang’s ace in the hole.
The shareholders of Hua Wen Jewelry, who were sitting in the gallery, looked at each other and knew that Zhou Zefan was in trouble this time.
“Everyone in the company knows that Zhou Zefan is left-handed. He even writes with his left hand.’
“Yes, the wound is indeed very telling.”
Han Chang’s lawyer continued, “These facts should undoubtedly confirm that Zhou Zefan is the murderer.
The judge also started talking to the people around him.
On the other hand, Qiao Weiyang finally smiled.
It turned out that this was all there was to Han Chang’s evidence. Zhou Zefan’s defense lawyer said, “We want to add more witnesses.”
“Agreed,” the judge said.
When everyone saw that the new witness was actually Qiao Weiyang, they were a little surprised.
She was familiar with Zhou Zefan. What evidence did she have to prove Zhou Zefan’s innocence?
Han Chang’s lawyer was already confident of victory and did not care much about Qiao Weiyang’s arrival.
He didn’t think that Qiao Weiyang, a female artiste, could produce much evidence.
He smiled and asked, “Miss Qiao, why are you here instead of filming?”
“Don’t you think there’s something wrong with your words? Do witnesses and professions have to be correlated? Is there a rule in the law that only those in certain professions can testify in court?”
He was at a loss for words and said, “No, that’s not it. Let’s see what evidence you can produce.”
Zhou Zefan’s defense lawyer asked, “Miss Qiao, may I ask what you’re here to prove?”
“I want to prove that it’s impossible for Zhou Zefan to hold a knife with his left hand, let alone stab someone,” Qiao Weiyang said firmly and calmly.
The people in the gallery were very surprised. What nonsense was Qiao Weiyang talking about?
Everyone knew that Zhou Zefan’s left hand was normal. He was also well-known for being left-handed. How could he not be able to hold a knife?
Zhou Zefan’s defense lawyer continued to ask, “Do you have any evidence?”
Qiao Weiyang said unhurriedly, “Yes. As everyone knows, Zhou Zefan got into a car accident some time ago and was injured. He injured his left hand.” There was indeed such a thing. Almost everyone in Hua Wen Jewelry knew about it. At that time, Zhou Zefan even took a period of leave.
However, Han Chang’s lawyer immediately said, “That’s true, but as far as we know, it’s been several months since the accident. There’s nothing wrong with his hand. He’s also been working normally. Many people have seen him working as usual. There’s no problem with him using his left hand at all. I don’t think we need a special witness to prove it. Miss Qiao, are you going to deny
“Of course, I won’t deny it. His hand has undergone surgery before, and there’s indeed not much of a problem. There’s nothing wrong with the big bones and tendons of his hand, but there’s still a problem with the small parts. Three days before he was accused of stabbing Han Chang, he underwent another surgery. The doctor instructed him to recuperate for a few days so that his hand could heal. He won’t be able to carry out intense exercise for at least half a month, let alone stab someone!”
“Ridiculous!” Han Chang’s lawyer said loudly. “How is this possible? Do you have any evidence?”
Qiao Weiyang took out a stack of documents and handed it to Zhou Zefan’s defense lawyer.
He picked it up and handed it to the judge. “Not many people know about Zhou Zefan’s operation, but there are hospital records here. In the past few days that he was detained to cooperate with the investigation, he’s been taking medicine in the police station. In addition, we can do a test report now. You’ll detect that there’s a new alloy piece in his left hand. In addition, he also applied for sick leave from Lu Wenhui. There are call records and Lu Wenhui’s signature records as evidence.”
The judge reached out and took the documents.
Han Chang’s expression began to change slightly. His lawyer could not help but look at him. This was something the lawyer had not known about before. After reading all the information, the judge nodded and looked at Zhou Zefan.
There didn’t seem to be much of a wound on his left hand.
Hence, Zhou Zefan’s defense lawyer invited another witness to the stand—the police officer who had been interacting with Zhou Zefan for the past few days.
The police officer said calmly, “At first, I realized that he was eating with his right hand, so I didn’t pay much attention to it. After all, most people use their right hands. But after observing him for a few days, I didn’t see him using his left hand at all. Moreover, a lawyer did bring over some medicine for him. He’s been applying medicine and taking medicine. According to the rules, we got a sample of the medicines and had them tested.
“The examination report showed very clearly that the medicines Zhou Zefan was taking were for his hand. Moreover, they weren’t prescribed after Han Chang’s accident. They were prescribed before the accident,” Zhou Zefan’s defense lawyer said.
Han Chang’s expression changed.
The people in the gallery went from sympathizing with Han Chang to sympathizing with Zhou Zefan.
Zhou Zefan’s defense lawyer said loudly, “I can now boldly infer that Han Chang created this incident specifically to arouse everyone’s sympathy for him in order to resolve the accusations against him. Specifically, the accusation that he deliberately made false claims about Zhou Zefan’s father and caused Zhou Ping to fall into depression.
“He took advantage of the fact that Zhou Zefan is left-handed and specially found a left-handed subordinate to stab him. He then pressed Zhou Zefan’s fingerprints on the handle of the dagger during the chaos.
“The location where his accident took place was specially chosen as the streetlights there were broken. This made it difficult to see the details of the accident through the surveillance footage.
“At that time, Han Chang was surrounded by five or six bodyguards. How did Zhou Zefan get close to him? We can only make the assumption that he’s the one who staged the act!”
Han Chang’s lawyer raised an objection. “Objection. We can’t use hypothetical statements as evidence in court.”
“Sustained,” the judge said.
However, with so much evidence on Zhou Zefan’s side, the judge quickly gave a verdict. “I announce that the evidence in Zhou Zefan’s case of intentional assault is insufficient. The assault is not established. Zhou Zefan is acquitted on the spot. Han Chang is suspected of carrying out the accident and needs to cooperate with a new investigation!”
Zhou Zefan stood up and bowed deeply.
His mother, Wu Shuanghua, walked toward him excitedly.
Although the shareholders of Hua Wen Jewelry couldn’t wait to fire him before, they were still happy to know that he was indeed innocent.
They were just afraid of being implicated and the case affecting the company’s reputation.
However, the innocent Zhou Zefan’s work ability was extremely recognized.
The current outcome naturally satisfied the shareholders of Hua Wen Jewelry.
On the other hand, Han Chang’s expression turned ugly. Han Tian stood behind him, unable to accept this outcome.
She asked to see the evidence.
The evidence was handed to her. After flipping through it for a while, she realized that the evidence was seamless. In other words, it was real and effective.
Could it be that her father had really put on a show?
Lu Wenhui and Qiao Weiyang walked over.
Han Tian bit her lip and stared at them indignantly.
Smiling, Lu Wenhui asked, “Mr. Han, are you satisfied with this outcome?”
“You already knew that there was something wrong with Zhou Zefan’s hand?” Han Chang reacted. All of this was within Lu Wenhui’s and Qiao Weiyang’s expectations!
He was the only one kept in the dark!
