Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?! Chapter 539: 530: Chance Encounter and Resolution
Chapter 539: Chapter 530: Chance Encounter and Resolution
Ti rewinds to about ten minutes earlier.
After Nan Zhubin provided an explanation for the evidence he submitted, and the defense lawyer made the first rebuttal.
The assistant with thick black-frad glasses gently closed the courtroom door, exchanged a few words with the bailiff at the door, and walked out.
As an assistant, his task in this trial was to coordinate with witnesses, the plaintiff, and the plaintiff’s representatives.
After completing this task, he usually had to continue listening in on the trial; of course, if he had other thoughts, leaving halfway wasn’t out of the question either.
At this point, he obviously chose the latter.
Quickly walking to a deserted area, the assistant with the thick black fras loosened his tie and let out a long sigh.
“Why not listen carefully to Teacher Nan’s speech?”
A teasing voice suddenly ca from behind him. The assistant with thick black fras turned to see an assistant colleague with thin white-frad glasses smiling at him.
The assistant in the thin white fras joked, “You quite like this Teacher Nan, don’t you?”
While speaking, the curve of the assistant in the thin white fras’ mouth gradually widened: “At the beginning of the lectures, you would always nitpick, saying things like ‘the psychological expert doesn’t live up to the na.’ But by the ti the last lecture ended, you said, ‘Teacher Nan really is an expert.’
“I rember you regretted not having the opportunity to collaborate with Teacher Nan in the short term. It’s rare to et today, why not watch more?”
Listening to the colleague’s teasing.
The assistant with thick black fras shook his head, “I couldn’t bear to watch anymore.”
He sighed, “After Xiao Xia left, I was pulled in by the head of the court to help organize materials. The evidence materials submitted by Teacher Nan did have issues. Of course, it’s understandable; he’s a psychological consultant, he has to protect his visitors.”
The assistant in thin white fras nodded in agreent. He understood too.
“But because of this, I can already guess what will happen next.” The assistant with thick black fras tilted his head towards the inside, “As soon as Teacher Nan finished explaining the evidence, that lawyer started to counterattack, and surely they will muddy the waters afterwards.”
“The impact of this case is so significant, the head of the court will definitely pay extra attention to every detail. In this scenario, maybe they really will show leniency to those scamrs.”
Hearing the colleague’s complaint, the assistant in thin white fras assud a serious expression: “Why does it sound like you’re standing on the plaintiff’s side? Still hoping for a harsher sentence for the scamrs? Outsiders can think that way; we cannot!”
The assistant in thin white fras, seemingly a few years older than the assistant with thick black fras, with a few more years of work experience, was particularly sensitive to certain things.
But the assistant with thick black fras retorted, “Then why did you co out?”
This question montarily silenced the assistant in thin white fras.
After a long pause, he slowly replied, “Teacher Nan is a pretty remarkable person. If conditions allowed, he would definitely do better. Unfortunately, this ti, it’s like a skilled woman unable to cook without rice…”
“The content of the trial can be reviewed later, but watching him get bullied on the spot like that… I couldn’t bear it either.”
The two exchanged a glance, inexplicably feeling a sense of emotional connection and recognition.
They both sighed in unison.
At this mont, a voice suddenly sounded in their ears.
“Comrade, is this the first Criminal Court? Is there a fraud case being tried inside now…?”
The two assistants turned to look behind them, where a person wrapped tightly from head to toe suddenly appeared.
This person was dressed like a suspect, and their choice of address was strange too.
But since they appeared in the courthouse, saying they were a suspect was just a joke.
The assistant with thick black fras naturally guessed the person’s identity, then frowned, “Yes, this is it. Are you here to observe? You know you’re late, right? Wait until the break to go in.”
Sotis, temporary observers enter mid-trial. If they don’t disrupt the trial order, court personnel generally don’t stop them.
But saying that, soone opening the door, entering, and taking a seat mid-trial will inevitably make a noise.
If it’s during a critical mont of the trial, it might sowhat affect it.
The person happened to bump into him, so the assistant with thick black fras instinctively blocked him a bit.
The assistant with thin white fras, however, squinted at the person, “Why do you look familiar… Wait, in that ng Ting incident not long ago, didn’t you block the knife for him?”
…
Nan Zhihao pressed down his hat.
Standing in front of the assistant with thin white fras and the assistant with thick black fras, he instinctively felt uncomfortable with such enthusiastic speech and gaze.
He would rather the assistant with thin white fras spoke to him in the sa slightly scolding tone as the assistant with thick black fras.
But since they’d already asked, he could only nod, “Yes…”
The assistant with thick black fras was surprised, “So the one inside is… Are you here to testify as a witness or the plaintiff? Late?”
Nan Zhihao hesitated for a mont, “No, I’m just here to observe. I was a bit busy today, so I arrived late…”
“Observing is fine too.” The assistant with thick black fras’ eyes began to shine, “Co with , I’ll show you the way!”
Nan Zhihao instinctively didn’t want to trouble him: “No need, just point in the direction…”
However, the assistant with thick black fras had already taken the lead decisively.
Nan Zhihao watched as he led the way to the courtroom door, greeted the bailiff, and arranged for him to sit in a forward position as much as possible.
Then, Nan Zhihao happened to hear the defense lawyer reading out the victim’s chat logs, heard Nan Zhubin using his professional knowledge to refute, and heard the defense lawyer question the lack of evidence in a muddled way.
Finally, he heard the sighs of the photographers and reporters in front, and the muttering of others in the audience.
The presiding judge, seated at the highest position in the courtroom, used the gavel to stabilize the order, then continued to preside over the proceedings, summoning Bai Qinghua to testify.
This old professor had rich materials on hand, using chat records, scam call records, and recordings provided by the police to analyze the words of the criminals, and even using voiceprint instrunts to create comparison charts, successfully proving the criminals’ intent of ntal abuse.
The defense lawyer, despite using all his skills, was ultimately unable to turn the tide, instead getting firmly countered by Bai Qinghua’s soft and hard words, which served to vent Nan Zhubin’s anger.
Yet the corners of Nan Zhihao’s mouth, covered by a mask, didn’t show a smile. He just stared in Nan Zhubin’s direction, motionless.
After a long pause, he took a deep breath, as if making a decision.
Bzzz— Bzzz—
His silenced phone vibrated.
Glancing at the screen displaying a call from [Dad], Nan Zhihao declined the call without a second thought.
