Chapter 9 Reversal! The fox's tail is exposed!

(Thank you very much for Tianmeng's support! The support of old friends has moved the black car! The black car will definitely work hard! That's right, the black car has squandered a lot of bullets saved in the past two days, so we will resume two updates tomorrow. One update in the morning and one update in the afternoon. The black car will also adjust it. Thank you everyone. Finally, I'll ask for a collection and recommendation. Thank you!)

"It's not bad." Neilly Johnson took all this just now, and to be honest, if he was not the defendant's lawyer, he should even applaud.

The prosecutor is William T. Wallace, an old friend of Neilly Johnson, who often drinks and rides together.

Then would Johnson have a good fight because of friendship...NONO, Johnson is preparing to stage a good show and have a Jedi counterattack!

"..." Li Mengyang actually knew that he might be hanged, but now he has just cut off all his hopes. There are many people who have the same idea as him. Basically, people in San Francisco Municipal Plaza think so now.

Li Mengyang, you are dead!

"Mr. Judge, I would like to call a witness, Mr. Smith, forensic doctor of the San Francisco Police Department."

"Can."

Smith came up, but this guy didn't look like a doctor at first glance, an old man, dressed very sloppy, but looked like a butcher.

Yes, do you still have too high requirements for doctors in the police station these days? They are not responsible for treating the disease.

"Mr. Smith, what is the cause of Officer Slade's death?"

"Ha! This is the most interesting thing I have ever seen. This guy Slade drank a lot of wine. He should have wanted to vomit, but he didn't. What's more interesting is that he suddenly lost consciousness afterwards. You know, I don't know the reason for this..."

The medical conditions in this era were at this level, and doctors knew almost nothing about the situation in their brains. However, Li Mengyang knew something, because the move he used at that time was the word "Zhen", not to break Slade's chin, but to knock him out.

In fact, the principle is very simple, that is, the hook position of the mandible bone is very close to the human brain, and if you master the strength, your opponent will easily faint. In this way, Slade's chin is not broken and there are no obvious scars. Smith is not a powerful doctor, so he naturally cannot find out the reason.

This is the magical 'destroy you and you are empty-handed'. You foreigners know nothing!

"...When I cut Slade's trachea with a knife, Fark, a lot of wine was sprayed out, hahaha, he was drowned by the wine he drank, hahaha..." The old man laughed as he spoke, as if he was telling a joke.

"..." This laughter made all the people in San Francisco who were watching were chilling. Many people even thought that even if I die in the future, I will not fall into the hands of you, an old man, if I feed the dog in the wild.

"Then it can cause so many coincidences..." Johnson continued to ask, but Smith rushed to speak.

"I'll tell you, the guy who killed Slade must be a person favored by God. He is so lucky. Judging from my experience, if you want to kill someone, there is no need to make so many coincidences. Slade probably did too many bad things, so God let him go to hell."

"So, Officer Slade is not good?"

"That's a mess! Mad dog! I haven't seen him obey the law. Instead, people are often beaten by this guy. The prostitutes and girls in the tavern do not do his business."

As soon as the old man Smith finished speaking, a soprano broke out in the crowd.

"I don't give me any money when I'm a slut! Going to hell is a cheap one!"

“OHOOH!”

"Hahaha..." Anyone who knows it can see that this person should be the famous flower Stacy in Old Sean's Tavern.

"Not abide by the wife's morality!" The Chinese workers all rebuked in their hearts, especially Huang Rong.

However, Li Mengyang saw the trick, and his defense lawyer was really defending himself. This reminded him of the first time he met this guy named Johnson...

"I am your defense attorney now, but please don't get me wrong. In my eyes, your life is not as good as a pig, but I will defend the spirit of American law!"

This person definitely has special skills in pre-fitting!

I didn't even think about what to say. Johnson and his guy were so awesome that he left, and Li Mengyang didn't even have the chance to scold him.

Li Mengyang didn't think that Johnson was telling lies at that time, but now, why did he defend himself so hard?

Immediately afterwards, Neilly Johnson found several more witnesses to appear in court.

"This guy always buys potatoes from me. It's a hateful guy. It's hard for me to get a advantage from a Chinese worker..."

"...A good guy, the joke he told is very interesting... He is a good guy."

One witness after another, they seem to have nothing to do with this case.

"Judge, the defense lawyer is obviously wasting our time." Prosecutor Wallace couldn't sit still, and he jumped out to object.

"Mr. Judge, I've finished asking, and I can tell my reasons now." Neilly Johnson seemed very graceful.

"Okay, tell me." Many people were confused, and there was more water on the judge's head.

Johnson is very capable of pretending, but he even put on a POSE and said, "From the testimony of the witnesses above, it is not difficult for us to see that the defendant in front of us cannot be said to be a bad person, right?"

"..." The audience was silent, as if that was the case.

"Then what does this matter?" Wallace was also well prepared for this lawsuit.

"It's related!" Johnson's posture changed, and then he said loudly: "And the victim Officer Slade, this guy is a complete villain. This can completely confirm the police's record. He is preparing to commit violence against that Chinese girl. At the same time, our forensic doctor also provided us with important clues, this person!"

Johnson pointed at Li Mengyang, "He did not subjectively want to kill Slade. Slade's death was a coincidence, and it was not even caused by this Chinese worker!"

And this is an act of stopping crime, so...

Li Mengyang had already seen Johnson's method. He told the jury through indirect witnesses that the defendant was a good person and the one who was killed was a bastard. As for these indirect witnesses, they were all vendors related to Jinlin Pavilion. It seems that Johnson has put in some effort, at least now it has proved that he deserves sympathy.

This can completely affect the jury, but are these things enough?

"..." Some members of the jury were shaking their heads. You know, the murderer in front of them was a Chinese worker. Chinese worker was just a bastard who robbed white jobs. They were no less sin than Slade, right?

"Hang him!"

"Hang him!"

What was even more unfavorable to Li Mengyang at this time was the public trial. The crowd was excited. At least half of the people in California were here. What kind of good will they have for Chinese workers?

Jury is just ordinary people, may they not be influenced by public opinion?!

It seems that a little flame of hope just emerged and is about to be crushed to death!

"Hahaha..." At this moment, Johnson laughed, and then he said to the judge with great confidence: "Sir, I have an important evidence here!"

That's a letter...

“…Texas Ranger Slade, killed in 1853!”

The letter was short, but the meaning in it... and the person who read this letter was written by William T. Wallace. Of course, this was John Neilly Johnson's request, and the opponent read out the evidence that was most beneficial to him. This guy is really capable of pretending to be B.

"..." After reading the letter, in just a few seconds, the entire municipal square of San Francisco became silent!

Without explanation, everyone can understand that the real Slade had long been dead, and the villain who died now was either a robber or a murderer. Maybe he killed the real Slade.

The American West is now in chaos, with Rangers and police basically overlapping their positions, such as Texas. Gold diggers all know how a miserable it is to come to California by land. California is very strange, with gold and silver, but it is wrapped in mountains and deserts. In the US-Mexico War, the US military came by boat, and had to get off the ship in Panama and then go west to change the ship. It is said that they vomited miserably.

The current situation is slightly better, at least there is a mail route. However, if Washington goes to California, it will take more than 40 days to walk a letter. Fortunately, our letter only needs to go from Texas to California, but it took more than 20 days to cross mountains and deserts along the way.

Why did I waited for nearly a month before I conducted a public trial? The answer has actually been revealed.

The objective conditions in California make it easy to impersonate a policeman. When a guy wearing a police badge appears at the door of any police station in California, should you warmly welcome him? Or should you spend a few dollars first and then wait for at least twenty days to investigate his identity and background?

The answer is obvious, so what should I do with this Chinese worker now?

He could even be said to have avenged Slade.

"Wand...Wand..." Some people wanted to shout slogans, but such a person was immediately rolled by others.

It would be too embarrassing to call for hanging the Chinese worker at this time?

"Citizens of California!" At this moment, Johnson, who was very good at pretending to be X, spoke loudly, just like a speech. "I like you, I hate Chinese workers very much. They are a bunch of maggots that snatched our jobs! I hate them very much! But here, in this court, we must defend the fairness and solemnity of the law! Now all the facts tell us that the Chinese worker in front of us may have killed someone inadvertently, but the person who died to protect others is likely a criminal! We should sentence this Chinese worker to innocent!"

"Shhh!"

"No sin! No sin!"

Some people booed, some people shouted that they were innocent, but soon, the booed all went away. At this time, the public's emotions had already determined that this Chinese worker should be innocent.

The momentum is getting louder and louder, and this effect... Johnson pressed his hands with his hands to signal quiet. You really don't know, the people in the municipal square are really quiet.

At this time, Neilly Johnson seemed to have controlled the emotions of the entire California people!

"Citizens! Today's trial, the final result, I want to tell you one thing. That is, according to the existing laws, we cannot stop more Chinese workers from stealing our jobs! I believe everyone can feel this, so what should we do? Citizens! The California general election is about to go on, and I, John Neilly Johnson, will also participate in this election! I swear to God here! If I am elected governor, I will use my life's strength to implement stronger and more powerful bills to stop Chinese workers from stealing our jobs!"

“OHOOH!WOO!”

"marvelous!"

"Johnson! Johnson! Johnson!"

As soon as Johnson's speech ended, the crowds in the entire municipal square were boiling, and they shouted Johnson's name, with amazing momentum!

John Neilly Johnson later wrote in his autobiography: "……The day of August 3, 1855 should be recorded in history forever. What I regret most is that when I was governor, I forgot to promote legislation and turn this day into the day of John Neilly Johnson! This day, I am the king of California!"
Chapter completed!
