Chapter 17 A Strange Witness! An Hui's Worries!
On the plaintiff's bench.
Lin Hao leaned back leisurely on the chair and closed his eyes to relax.
Uncle Liu next to him had been frowning, and his frown gradually relaxed during the previous defense.
Now it is not only Lawyer Lin who is taking the lead.
Even the prosecutors have come to his aid.
There was a little more hope in his heart again.
An Hui took her seat on the witness stand.
The presiding judge Zhou Jie said to the scribe.
"Ask the scribe to confirm the identity of the witness."
"Okay, Judge."
Two minutes later, the scribe said loudly.
"The plaintiff's witness No. 1, name: An Hui, is a well-known female emotional mentor on a certain platform. Her identity is confirmed."
The presiding judge nodded slightly after hearing this.
At the prosecutor's table.
Xu Hao said to the trial seat.
"Presiding judge, I have a few questions to ask the witnesses."
Chief Judge Zhou Jie nodded.
"Excuse me."
Xu Hao picked up a piece of material and walked slowly to the witness stand.
Asked the witness An Hui.
"Ms. An, please ask the defendant, Ms. Zhen, if she purchased it online and watched your live class."
An Hui thought for a moment and then shook her head.
"Not sure."
After hearing An Hui's words, Xu Hao frowned slightly.
What do you mean by unclear?
Has she ever bought your class?
Have I ever taken your class?
If you don't know, who else knows?
"Isn't Ms. Zhen your student?"
Xu Hao asked again.
An Hui said casually.
"Probably so."
Xu Hao's frown deepened.
If it is, it is, if it is not, it is not.
What does it mean to be right?
An Hui gave two ambiguous answers in a row, which confused everyone.
There were already whispers in the audience.
Xu Hao thought for a moment.
Changed to a more rigorous way of asking.
"Ms. Anhui, has Ms. Zhen Shanmei in the dock in front of you purchased any of your live broadcast courses online?"
After Xu Hao asked, everyone looked at An Hui curiously.
An Hui nodded slightly.
"Purchased."
An Hui answered so firmly.
It made everyone more curious.
As the inquirer, Xu Hao was even a little angry.
He said in a stern voice.
"Ms. Anhui, I must remind you that this is a court."
"Since you agreed to appear in court as a witness, you must be legally responsible for your words in court!"
Xu Hao's tone was obviously harsh.
But Anhui in front of her seemed unmoved.
She said calmly.
"Of course I know, Mr. Prosecutor."
"I know what I'm talking about and I will take responsibility for everything I say in court."
She is worthy of being a woman who can be an emotional mentor.
There is still something there in both temperament and mentality.
Even in the face of pressure from the Ombudsman.
He was not moved at all.
But this way.
Xu Hao was a little confused.
It wasn't clear just now.
Why do you answer so surely now!
You dare to say that you are responsible for your own words.
Co-authored: You are playing with me here, right?
But Xu Hao has been in the industry for many years.
Be it a witness or a criminal.
Even the victim.
I have seen a lot of all kinds of weird people.
Anhui's seemingly confused speech was a bit confusing.
It would not make Xu Hao lose his composure.
Xu Hao remained calm and then asked.
"Then why did you answer so ambiguously when I asked you before?"
At this moment, all eyes in the audience were focused on An Hui.
The question raised by Xu Hao was exactly what they wanted to ask.
On the witness stand.
An Hui looked indifferent and said seriously.
"That's right, Prosecutor Xu."
"There are many people buying my courses online, and I will have dedicated people in my team to contact those students who buy the courses."
"Although I work in the private sector, my courses are all taught in the form of live webcasts."
"Although we try to control the number of viewers in each class, due to my limited personal time and energy, almost every class will be watched by hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of students at the same time."
"In this one-to-many teaching situation, although they are all my students in name, not all of them will know and remember me."
"Because of this, I cannot confirm whether Ms. Zhen actually watched my live broadcast of the course after purchasing it."
"As for Ms. Zhen's purchase of my course, we only confirmed it after checking the transaction records in the backend."
I have to say.
An Hui's explanation.
The tone is vivid and clear.
It’s true that I have lectured to thousands of people at the same time.
At this point, Zhang San's live broadcast room was already in trouble.
"I asked why I invited Teacher An here. It turns out that woman is one of her students."
"No wonder that fishing girl is so good at making money. She must have been taught by a teacher about co-writing, right?"
"But is this so-called Teacher An really here to testify?"
"I don't know for a while, but I should for a while. What is this for? Isn't she an undercover agent sent by the other side?"
"I feel sorry for our Prosecutor Xu. The witnesses he invited out made him look bad."
"It's really weird to admit it now."
"Is she really an undercover sent by the other side? She is here to mess with the prosecutor's mentality!"
"But the explanation he gave is quite convincing."
"No matter what, she is a big V with millions of fans, and she is also a lecturer. Of course, her eloquence is not bad."
"Oh, I feel sorry for Prosecutor Xu!"
"I still can't understand it. She is a witness invited by the plaintiff. Why does she seem so uncooperative?"
"That's right, the more I look at her, the more she looks like a traitor!"
"…………"
Zhang San looked at the screen full of questions.
He said after a moment of silence.
"Students, you might as well think about it from a different perspective."
"Zhen Shanmei is An Hui's student. If she used the knowledge she learned from An Hui and deliberately designed Liu Ming to transfer money to her for spending."
"In this case, Zhen Shanmei is very likely to be guilty of fraud."
"Once Zhen Shanmei commits a crime, do you think An Hui can deny the relationship?"
"Does she need to bear the corresponding legal responsibilities?"
"This is a huge legal risk for her!"
"So from An Hui's point of view, it is in her best interest if Zhen Shanmei cannot be convicted."
Zhang San's analysis once again made netizens suddenly realize.
"I see! If Zhen Shanmei commits a crime with the knowledge she learned from her, she will be implicated."
"So, An Hui doesn't want to prove that Zhen Shanmei has taken her class at all."
"I was wondering why she was so weird, sometimes admitting and sometimes not, it turns out she wanted to distance herself from the matter."
"In other words, there is objective evidence that Zhen Shanmei bought her class, so she has to admit it; but she can't admit whether Zhen Shanmei learned the class after buying it."
"As long as Zhen Shanmei hasn't taken her class, it doesn't matter whether Zhen Shanmei has committed a crime or not."
"This woman is really scheming!"
"…………"
Zhang San added, stroking his chin.
"She can clearly recognize this and respond calmly."
"I guess she should have consulted a professional lawyer in advance, otherwise she shouldn't be so leak-proof."
After Zhang San finished speaking, the barrage echoed.
"Yes, he must have consulted a lawyer, otherwise he wouldn't be so rigorous."
"His course has long been controversial, and maybe she has a team of lawyers behind her to help her."
"Indeed, who doesn't know a few good lawyers?"
"But since there are risks in testifying in court, why does she still come? Testifying shouldn't be mandatory, right?"
"Oh, right, why doesn't she refuse to testify?"
"…………"
The barrage raised new questions again.
The audience at the trial was also puzzled by An Hui's actions.
In front of the witness stand.
Xu Hao curled his lips.
This woman, is she playing this game with me?
It's okay to cooperate passively.
She even played word games.
An Hui on the witness stand remained calm on the surface.
In fact, she still couldn't calm down.
After all, the consequences could be serious.
Looking at Xu Hao who was frustrated, An Hui secretly rejoiced in her heart.
Fortunately, she consulted Lawyer Li in advance.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to get through this stage on her own.
