CHAPTER 40: CHAPTER 40: GU CHEN UNLEASHES HIS TRUMP CARD! THE TRUTH REVEALED! SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE!

Han Ziming instructed Gu Chen to prove the existence of this knife.

If this knife can’t be found, then there will never be sufficient evidence, and there will never be a way to classify Wang Yongqiang’s actions as self-defense!

There isn’t even a way to classify it as excessive defense!

Because there is currently no way to prove the existence of the knife.

The existence of the knife is just a statement from Wang Yongqiang, and in law, evidence is required.

Liu Yajun looked at Wang Yongqiang, with red eyes and a trace of pride at the corner of his mouth.

Wang Yongqiang... must receive the death penalty!

He spent a lot of money to hire an elite lawyer like Han Ziming, just to have the court sentence Wang Yongqiang to death!!

Gu Chen is indeed a very capable lawyer.

But is it useful?

Can Gu Chen help Wang Yongqiang get his death sentence commuted to life imprisonment?

Impossible!

As long as the existence of the knife cannot be proven, Wang Yongqiang is a deliberate murderer, which means a death sentence!

At this moment, everyone looked at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen is the only one who can help Wang Yongqiang now; Wang Yongqiang’s fate is already in Gu Chen’s hands.

And at this moment, Gu Chen stood up and took out a brand new USB drive.

Gu Chen said, "I originally thought that this knife couldn’t be found, and I also thought that this knife might have been fabricated by Wang Yongqiang himself, until I saw the evidence in my hand!"

"Your Honor, members of the court, I possess surveillance footage of what happened at Wang Yongqiang’s doorstep on that day!"

"This surveillance footage comes from the dashcam of a car parked in the village. On the day of the incident, this car was sold to a second-hand market, and the video recorded by the dashcam was fortunately preserved."

"Fortunately, I was lucky enough to retrieve the dashcam and found the video from that day."

"The events of that day were completely recorded by the dashcam, and I have backed up the video onto the USB drive."

"This should give everyone a clear view of what exactly happened on the day Wang Yongqiang killed Liu Biao."

No one could have imagined that Gu Chen would produce surveillance footage!!

Everyone thought that there was no surveillance footage in the village!

Liu Yajun was even more incredulous!

On the day of the incident, he handled all the evidence that needed to be taken care of!

Never did he expect that the dashcam in the car was running!!

After the incident, the owner happened to sell the car to a second-hand market, and even the owner didn’t notice the dashcam’s footage!!

As a result, Gu Chen obtained the surveillance footage!!

Liu Yajun felt deeply incredulous...

There was actually surveillance footage!!

There were indeed overlooked details.

Normally, no one would expect a dashcam to be running at such a time!!

Liu Yajun could never have imagined that the car would be sold an hour after the incident! He didn’t even have the chance to destroy the evidence!!

Viewers in the livestream exploded one by one.

[Damn, there’s surveillance footage!]

[Gu Chen is awesome! He even found the dashcam footage!]

[How did he find this evidence? Gu Chen is awesome!!]

[No matter how the evidence was found, let’s watch the surveillance footage of what happened at the time; the evidence is coming!]

[We can see the evidence now! This way, we can clearly see if the knife was there or not!]

In the courtroom, everyone could see the evidence Gu Chen presented!

The viewers in the livestream were the same.

The surveillance footage began to play.

The scene was the street at the entrance of Wang Yongqiang’s house.

All the viewers saw what exactly happened on that day.

Even the comments in the live streaming were silent, and everyone at the court scene was quietly watching the footage.

At 15:01 on the afternoon of September 30th, Liu Biao arrived at Wang Yongqiang’s home.

Wang Yongqiang’s dog came out to bite Liu Biao. Liu Biao retrieved a knife from his car and killed the dog on the spot.

Liu Biao wiped the knife clean, placed it back in the car, and then disposed of the dog’s body.

Liu Biao then went to Wang Yongqiang’s house again, beating Wang Yongqiang violently this time.

Wang Yongqiang was pinned to the ground by Liu Biao, barely clinging to life.

In the footage, only a small part of Wang Yongqiang’s house was visible, but it was enough.

The viewers could see everything clearly.

At 15:25 on the afternoon of September 30th, Liu Biao chained Wang Yongqiang like a dog and tied him up in the yard.

At 15:28 in the afternoon, Liu Biao dragged Sun Yunmeng into the room.

At 15:32 in the afternoon, Liu Biao opened the door, walked out while pulling up his pants.

No one knew what happened in those four minutes inside the footage, but the viewers heard Sun Yunmeng’s screams through the dashcam’s audio.

At 15:33 in the afternoon, Liu Biao unchained Wang Yongqiang, patted his own back in satisfaction, walked out of Wang Yongqiang’s house, and prepared to get into his car.

At 15:34 in the afternoon, Sun Yunmeng, in disarray, came out crying and gestured to Wang Yongqiang, indicating that she did not want to live anymore.

Wang Yongqiang also started crying.

Wang Yongqiang put the scissors in his pocket and went out to chase Liu Biao.

Before Liu Biao could get into the car, Wang Yongqiang rushed up to fight Liu Biao.

Wang Yongqiang kicked Liu Biao, but Liu Biao quickly reacted and assaulted Wang Yongqiang again.

Wang Yongqiang was no match for Liu Biao, unable to fight back.

At 15:35 in the afternoon, Liu Biao took a knife from the car.

Due to the distance, the dashcam couldn’t capture what Liu Biao was saying.

As Liu Biao took out the knife, Wang Yongqiang pulled out the scissors and instantly stabbed Liu Biao a dozen times.

Until Liu Biao lay on the ground, blood flowing freely.

Wang Yongqiang dropped the scissors, saw Sun Yunmeng off, and then chose to surrender.

Gu Chen said, "This is the entire process. Wang Yongqiang did not intend to kill Liu Biao from the start, even though he had the scissors, he hesitated to use them at first."

"It wasn’t until Liu Biao took out the knife that Wang Yongqiang acted, stabbing Liu Biao to death."

"Liu Biao’s act of pulling out a knife clearly showed intent to kill, posing a threat to Wang Yongqiang’s personal safety."

"According to Article 20 of the Huaxia Criminal Law, Liu Biao’s act of wielding a knife posed a severe threat to Wang Yongqiang’s personal safety. Wang Yongqiang’s defensive actions, which resulted in Liu Biao’s death, do not constitute excessive defense, thereby not holding him criminally liable!"

"Therefore, I believe that Wang Yongqiang is not guilty!"

"I request the court to declare Wang Yongqiang not guilty, and to release him, which is the initial defense plea!"

"That’s the end of my statement."

Gu Chen stood there, presenting the surveillance footage and stating his appeal.

After three minutes.

The court’s professional technical staff spoke, "Your Honor, the video evidence is genuine, without any falsification, synthesis, or editing; this is indeed the surveillance footage from the dashcam on September 30th."

At the same time, the livestream erupted once again!!
