In the teahouse at the entrance of Chinatown in Brighton, Zhou Ming and his bodyguards had tea here and chose a elegant seat. Lawyer Allen hurried in and took a seat to Zhou Ming under the guidance of the waiter.

Mr. Zhou Ming chose this place very well. The teahouse is the most famous feature of Chinatown. If you want to drink tea, you can only come here. Moreover, I heard that drinking tea has the benefits of health far better than drinking coffee and other drinks. Tea from Europe three hundred years ago was sold in comparable gold.

Allen came over and praised Zhou Ming's choice first. Zhou Ming just smiled meaninglessly. Although Zhou Ming knew that the expensive tea three hundred years ago was because the Silk Road was blocked and the tea was not transported to Europe, Zhou Ming did not say that because they were not here to discuss this today. Zhou Ming asked Allen: How is everything going?

As a responsible attorney, I think my employer should have enough trust in me.

Allen teased, then took out a stack of information from his bag and handed it to Zhou Ming and said: These are the documents I signed with Walton before. I have taken these documents to find Walton before. He has agreed to withdraw the previous words and re-incorporate the dormitory convenience store into the normal business scope of the company. At the same time, he will submit a protest letter to the government, demanding that the seizure of the dormitory convenience store be revoked immediately.

This is just a stopgap solution. Since Walton can do these things once, there will definitely be a second and third time. Can we kick him out of the company? I don’t want to get entangled with others about company ownership. Zhou Ming said.

Of course there is no problem. What Walton did was actually a breach of the contract. We have reason to apply for an injunction to allow Mr. Walton to leave the company.

Allen said that his tone seemed very confident, but his attitude later became swaying: But Mr. Zhou Ming, what I was worried about is the second trial three days later, because I was busy dealing with other matters during this period and had no preparation for the trial. I was very worried that they would respond differently, but the Prosecutor's Office may not be an opponent.

Just do your best, after all, some things are not what we can expect. Zhou Ming said.

As a barrister, Allen certainly heard Zhou Ming’s implicit voice, so he immediately asked: Mr. Zhou Ming, what information did you get when you say this?

A very important message. Zhou Ming said, taking out the photo printed from the computer and handed it to Allen.

Allen took the photo and took a breath: My God, how could this happen

Three days passed quickly, and when Brooke's case was heard for the second time, Zhou Ming and Allen came to Brighton City Court again. When the court bell rang at nine o'clock, Zhou Ming and Allen followed Deputy Attorney General Clark into the court.

The first thing is the case statement. This time, Deputy Attorney General Clark and Allen still demanded to be convicted of Brooke. However, when he arrived at Sapiro, the fantasy lawyer changed his last defensive and began to take the initiative. He said to the judge: Mr. Judge, in order to prove the innocence of my client, I asked to invite the last witness to appear. I have several questions to ask.

The judge approved Sapiro's request and invited the last witness to appear in court. The first person to appear in court was the onlookers, but Sapiro said: Mr. Judge, please be honest, this witness only saw the riot process and cannot prove that my party was involved in this incident, so I don't think this witness has any need to appear in court at all.

In view of Sapiro's statement, the judge then asked the black brother to appear in court, and the older brother was still in front.

Sapiro walked out of the dock and came to the witness to ask him: Hello, classmate Hem, I think I clearly remember that during the last trial, you once verified my client to give you money. He instructed you to go to the convenience store to create riots, and told you that he did this because he wanted to retaliate against Zhou Ming, or that he wanted to take the opportunity to attack his competitors, right?

The black man Hem nodded and said yes, Sapiro immediately asked: Hem, can you guarantee that the testimony you just said is true and reliable.

Of course, I never lie in the holy court. Hem said.

Have you ever said in court that you have no criminal record, and your words are not lying, but are also true and reliable, Sapiro asked again.

Of course I have no criminal record, I am just a student, I can only study. Hem replied.

Such a good classmate Hem, I discovered something very interesting during the investigation.

Sapiro said as he took out a document from his desk and showed it to everyone: This is a material I got from the Fenway District Police Department, which clearly records that Hem was arrested and recorded in Fenway District for extorting low-grade students five years ago.

Sapiro handed over the document to the judge and turned to Hem and asked: Hem classmate, you said you never lie in the sacred court, you also said you have no criminal record, which is not a lie, so how do you explain now

I don't know if there is this. Hem subconsciously said.

I don't know if you want to say that you forgot the fact that you committed a crime, or if you don't know that I got this from the Fenway District Police Station and continued to ask questions.

Alan immediately raised his hand and said: I object, Lord Judge, I don’t think the question asked by Sapiro has direct contact with this case, and I asked the witness to refuse to answer.

Sapiro said: Judge, my opinion is exactly the opposite. I think the witness's testimony on this issue has a lot to do with this case, because if the witness himself is a dishonest person, then I don't think his testimony on this case is credible. His testimony also has a decisive role in whether my client is guilty, so the witness must answer this question truthfully.

The judge thought about the ruling: Witnesses must answer the questions of the defense lawyer truthfully.

Hem, a black man, had to answer: I was only eighteen years old at that time, and I was protected by law. They also said that my file would be sealed, so I didn't.

Before Hem finished speaking, Sapiro interrupted him and said: I think the situation is very clear now. This witness, Hem, is not an honest person. Since he can lie about whether he has a criminal record, we also have reason to believe that he will lie on the issue of accusing me of the person involved. Moreover, this lie can help him reduce his crimes and punishments, because the sentencing between the crimes instructed by others and his own subjective crimes is not the same.

Sapiro pointed to the document in the judge and said: Since Hem had a criminal record of fraud before, now he wants to get compensation from the dormitory convenience store through fraud again. Therefore, Hem is likely to lie in court in order to escape or reduce his guilt.

The last witness to testify in court was Zyra. This time Allen decided to take the initiative. He stood up and said: Judge and all the jurors. Zyra is a very outstanding teacher at Harvard University. She has no criminal record and has no interest relationship with the suspect, so I think her testimony is absolutely credible.

But Sapiro stood up calmly and walked to Zilla and asked her: You are Zhou Ming's class director, Teacher Zilla.

Zyra nodded and said: Yes, but I won’t help him lie in court just because he is his class manager.

At this point, I do believe in Teacher Zyra. Sapiro then changed the subject and asked, but what if it was for the lover

What lover, lover Zyra asked confused.

Of course it is Zhou Ming. In fact, everyone doesn’t know that this beautiful teacher-Zhera teacher has an improper teacher-student relationship with her student Zhou Ming. They are lovers. Sapiro said.

With Sapiro's words, the scene suddenly became an uproar. Not only in the hearing table, but also in the jury, expressing their shock at this incident.

I don’t. My classmate Zhou Ming and I are just ordinary teacher-student relationships, and we don’t have any other relationships. Jerra defends her.

Lawyer Allen also stood up immediately and said: I object. I think the defense lawyer is maliciously speculating on the relationship between others. His deliberate slander of Teacher Zera and my client, I think his approach is very lacking in the professional ethics of lawyers and is also a contempt of court. I think the court should give him enough warnings.

The judge looked at Sapiro, but before the judge could speak, Sapiro said first: Lord Judge, I have not speculated for no reason. I have witnesses. Please allow my witness to appear in court.

Then a white man was taken to court and testified: I am a teacher in the Department of Economics at Harvard Business School. I have seen with my own eyes that Teacher Zyra and Zhou Ming have acted very intimately. They often date alone. I think they must be in love.

Sapiro said: Judge and all the jurors, I think I understand now. In order to help her lover convict me, Teacher Zyra has compiled a story about my client privately asking Hem to blackmail the dormitory convenience store. This is a joint slander, and I think it is not possible to prove it.

The trial ended at twelve o'clock noon, Zhou Ming and Allen walked out of the court. Allen opened his cell phone and received a call. He went out and came back in less than five minutes. He also brought Zhou Ming a copy of information.

Mr. Zhou Ming, this is the information that my friend who works in the court helped me take out. Allen said and opened the information and handed it over to Zhou Ming. This was a semi-public document for the judge. Judge Reggie was responsible for Brooke's presiding judge this time. I really didn't expect that he would be a member of the Brooke family. This was my negligence in work.

Allen then told Zhou Ming: According to our Massachusetts law, although the court has a jury, the impact of the judge on the case judgment is decisive, because if the judge is not satisfied with the result of the jury, he can also use his own veto and convince the jury. As long as he can convince more than half of the jury members, the verdict can be changed.

At this point, Allen paused for a moment before continuing: So the news we know is enough to reverse all the results.

Finally, Allen smiled bitterly: Mr. Zhou Ming, from Walton to trial and then to judges, we are passive everywhere, I'm afraid this judgment will be difficult.
