Chapter 395 Joyful Laughter
Perhaps Attorney Zhang doesn't usually read entertainment news and doesn't know who Leon Lai is.
Attorney Zhang was going crazy. "Was I talking about celebrities? I was talking about when the sun will rise over Hong Kong!"
Huo Zihao shrugged and said, "If you're going to talk, just talk. Why are you speaking so loudly? People who don't know better will think you're yelling in court."
Attorney Zhang also realized that Huo Zihao was in cahoots with the police.
He can only temporarily avoid the limelight.
Attorney Zhang looked at Li Jian and asked, "Alright, Li sir, in such dark conditions before dawn, we have reason to suspect that the suspect you saw was my client."
Li Jian shrugged and said, "Whether you have doubts or not is your business, it has nothing to do with me."
Attorney Zhang continued, "Mr. Li, you said you jumped down the hillside that day to stop the double-decker bus. Did you take your eyes off the double-decker bus at the time?"
Li Jian hesitated for a moment, then said, "No."
Attorney Zhang said, "Why are you hesitating?"
Li Jian said, "I need to think about it."
Attorney Zhang said, "So you're saying you're not sure!"
Huo Zihao immediately stood up: "I protest!"
Judge Xu stated, "The protest is valid. Witnesses should think carefully before answering questions."
Attorney Zhang continued, "Mr. Li, how long did it take you to walk down the hillside? And did your eyes ever leave that double-decker bus?"
Li Jian calmly said, "I rushed down the hillside, and my view was blocked by the bus for a very short time."
Attorney Zhang paced back and forth in front of Li Jian, pointing at him and saying, "What if another bus overtakes you when your view is blocked by the hillside?"
Li Jian said, "There was only one double-decker bus on the road at that time."
Upon hearing this, Attorney Zhang suddenly turned around, pointed at Li Jian, and shouted, "You're lying!"
Huo Zihao suddenly stood up: "I protest!"
Judge Xu said, "The protest is valid. The defense lawyer should ask more specific questions."
Attorney Zhang looked at Li Jian aggressively and asked, "Are you lying?"
Li Jian said calmly, "No."
Attorney Zhang said, "Do you know that there are four bus lanes on this road, and two of them have double-decker buses passing by every five minutes?"
The other two lines have a car passing by every six minutes.
Within an hour, a total of 88 vehicles passed through here.
In other words, one and a half buses pass by this line every minute.
Li Jian calmly replied, "I don't know."
Attorney Zhang pressed on, asking, "How long did it take you from coming down the mountain to stopping this bus?"
Li Jian calculated for a moment and said, "About one and a half minutes."
Attorney Zhang asked, "Could you be more specific?"
Li Jian countered, "How many minutes does it take you and your wife to sleep together?"
Attorney Zhang immediately blushed and raised her hand, saying, "I protest! The witness is insulting me!"
Judge Xu said, "The protest is valid. Witness, please watch your words."
Li Jian said, "Your Honor, this lawyer keeps nitpicking these trivial details with me, which I don't think is necessary."
Imagine that I was chasing a robber, and the robber had already boarded that double-decker bus.
My mind was only focused on how to stop the bus as soon as possible and catch the robbers; I didn't have time to think about time.
If we allow bad people to get away with it just because we can't answer this kind of question, I think that would be irresponsible to the vast majority of Hong Kong citizens.
Ladies and gentlemen, I think you have all heard this.
It's not that I didn't want to answer Attorney Zhang's questions, but rather that his questions were too tricky.
Attorney Zhang suddenly interjected, "Mr. Li, are you saying that the questions I asked were problematic? That I shouldn't have asked them?"
Li Jian said, "I didn't say you shouldn't ask, but the situation you're in now is completely different from what it was back then."
Imagine you ask a police officer chasing a fugitive how long it took from coming down the mountain to stopping the bus. I can only tell you I don't remember.
Because I didn't have time to think about that at the time, I was running so hard I was almost out of breath, my lungs felt like they were going to burst.
I also had to worry about whether the bandits would suddenly open fire, and whether they would hijack the bus and harm ordinary people.
Attorney Zhang, you are also a human being, and you have human conscience.
If your family members were on the bus at the time, would you still ask me how many minutes it took to stop the bus?
Attorney Zhang retorted angrily, "There are no 'ifs'! Please don't change the subject!"
Li Jian smiled faintly and said, "Yes, Attorney Zhang's family would not ride a double-decker bus, because Attorney Zhang is a big lawyer and very rich."
Your wife is a leading doctor at the hospital, earning a monthly salary of seventy to eighty thousand.
Your child attends an international private high school, where tuition can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.
Your maid drives a Mercedes-Benz to buy groceries, so naturally she wouldn't take a double-decker bus.
Attorney Zhang was sweating profusely: "I protest!"
Judge Xu, who was listening intently, asked, "What are you protesting now?"
Attorney Zhang stated, "The witness is talking about things that have absolutely nothing to do with this case. What my wife and son do for work and where they go to school are my privacy. He is violating my personal privacy, and I will sue him!"
Judge Xu was in a dilemma because Attorney Zhang's words made sense.
He could only look at Li Jian; "Witness, how do you explain this?"
Li Jian said, "I'm just stating the facts, Attorney Zhang. Isn't your wife a chief surgeon at a major hospital? Or is your child not attending a private high school?"
When asked, Attorney Zhang was speechless: "So what if it's the truth? Does it have anything to do with this case?"
Li Jian said, "I just want to say one thing: Attorney Zhang only works for money. He speaks for whoever pays him and never stands on the side of justice and fairness."
Attorney Zhang was furious.
"I protest!"
Judge Xu asked, "What are you protesting?"
Attorney Zhang stated, "The witness is slandering my character!"
Judge Xu said, "Witnesses, please refrain from making personal judgments about Attorney Zhang."
Li Jian nodded and said, "Okay."
Attorney Zhang took a deep breath and calmed down before saying, "It took the witness one and a half minutes to run down the mountain and stop the bus. During that time, three buses passed by, and there may have been as many as six or seven."
The witness said there was only one double-decker bus; isn't that a lie?
Li Jian looked disdainful: "Haven't you ever waited half an hour for a bus?"
“Oh, I forgot, Attorney Zhang never takes the bus. He doesn’t know that buses are usually not on time.”
Hahaha--
Li Jian's words once again elicited a burst of laughter, filling the entire courtroom with a joyful atmosphere.
Even the judge couldn't help but laugh out loud.
