Chapter 1101: Chapter 1101: Counterattack at the End of the Road? How Did He Do It!

Shangguan Wanwan never expected that Gu Yuzhi would investigate to this extent.

She was certainly aware of the huge insurance payout; without it, Li Meilian wouldn’t have been able to afford her services for this case.

She never even thought to investigate Li Meilian’s spending after withdrawing the money; such minute details, unrelated to the case, who would check them?

Gu Yuzhi did check.

And... rushed back from another place.

Shangguan Wanwan brushed her fingernails over the defense documents and replied seemingly lightly, "Even if everything Lawyer Gu says is true, it won’t affect the conclusion of the case at all. Your Honor, I believe we don’t need to waste time discussing trivial matters here."

In essence, this is a moral issue, not a legal one.

Li Meilian and her daughter’s improper spending doesn’t influence the identification of the murderer.

Speculating that they killed for money is merely unfounded speculation in legal terms.

The judge pondered for a moment, about to make a decision.

Gu Yuzhi spoke again, unhurriedly, "Who said the new evidence I brought today is about this? Regarding the money, it’s merely an interesting tidbit to share. The evidence we wish to supplement consists of physical evidence and testimony."

"Your Honor, I request that the forensic doctor responsible for this case testify in court."

"Granted." The judge nodded, somewhat curious about what new developments could arise in this already concluded case.

Shangguan Wanwan frowned slightly; was that not the strongest offensive just now?

Is there more?

"The deceased died from three stabs. Forensic doctor, is this correct?" Gu Yuzhi began questioning.

"Yes."

"According to the autopsy and scene simulation, the first stab was to the arm, the second to the thigh—neither were fatal injuries; they merely temporarily disoriented the victim, reducing their defensive ability, correct?"

"Yes."

"Only the third stab, directly to the heart, caused the victim to bleed excessively and die, correct?"

"Yes."

Gu Yuzhi’s series of questions made Shangguan Wanwan a bit impatient: "These questions are all in the case files; please do not repeat them and waste everyone’s time."

She thought Gu Yuzhi had some grand skill, but it turned out to be mere intrigue and old tactics.

Gu Yuzhi glanced at her nonchalantly and ignored her, instead raising his head towards the judge, "Therefore, the first two stabs were merely defensive; it’s the third stab that manifested the intent to murder."

The judge nodded in agreement.

Then Gu Yuzhi shifted his focus and looked at Wang Youzhi, who was under guard in the corner, "Wang Youzhi, you only committed the first two stabs, correct?"

The spiritless Wang Youzhi dully nodded, "Yes."

So what; two stabs are murder just like three stabs, he indeed accidentally killed for Li Meilian, it was his deserved crime...

However, in the next second.

The faces of the judge and the staff on the podium suddenly changed dramatically.

Two stabs and three stabs may have no distinction for ordinary people, but for legal professionals, the difference is as vast as between life and death.

If Wang Youzhi committed the first two stabs, he is not the murderer at all; he acted to save Li Meilian and her daughter in a justified defense of bravery.

The person who stabbed the third time is the real culprit!

Shangguan Wanwan immediately realized this point too, her breath tightened.

So Gu Yuzhi’s trump card was hidden here. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

All of the prior actions were merely creating an atmosphere and lowering her vigilance.

She couldn’t help but stand up, "Your Honor, there is absolutely no distinction between two and three stabs; no one else was at the scene, only Wang Youzhi’s fingerprints were left on the weapon, all three stabs were by him. Now the criminal is trying to overturn the case through mere verbal claims, which is absolutely unreliable..."

"Who says we only have words?" Gu Yuzhi interrupted her bluntly, "Could the forensic doctor please help re-evaluate the physical evidence!"

What, there’s more physical evidence?!

Gu Yuzhi was clearly cornered, not even daring to return from Qingcheng, how in one night did both he and the evidence arrive?
