Chapter 280 Old Things



Zhu Jin, Ishigami Bai and others were quite satisfied with the police station's confidentiality work.

Because the case was simple, it was transferred to the procuratorate in the afternoon. The procuratorate responded as quickly as ever and quickly entered the trial procedure.

Zhu Jin repeated what he had said at the police station.

When Shi Shangbai and Zhu Jin were leaving the procuratorate, they happened to meet Ye Banxia who was being questioned in the lobby on the first floor. Ye Banxia's face changed instantly when she saw them, and Shi Shangbai's reaction was even faster, which was beyond Zhu Jin's expectation but also within his expectation.

He quickly stepped forward and punched Ye Banxia.

Shi Shangbai finally did the thing he wanted to do most after knowing what happened. If it was a stranger, Shi Shangbai would not do so, but this person was Ye Banxia, ​​a friend that Zhu Jin cared about.

The people who stab their friends in the back are the most annoying.

Shi Shangbai used all his strength and with one punch, Ye Banxia was knocked to the ground in a mess. Zhu Jin was startled and looked at Shi Shangbai who was moving his fingers. For some reason, the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.

The security guard came over screaming, helped Ye Banxia up, and looked at Shi Shangbai warily, but Shi Shangbai took a step back and did not attack again.

Ye Banxia's mouth was broken, and she stood up without saying a word, looking up at Zhu Jin and Shi Shangbai, expressionless and indifferent. The original warm look disappeared unconsciously, leaving only coldness, which was very strange to Zhu Jin.

Zhu Jin looked at Ye Banxia's expression, and the question that she wanted to ask originally didn't come out in the end, because she knew that the stranger Ye Banxia in front of her would not give her an answer. Asking Ye Banxia face to face was just wishful thinking.

Zhu Jin didn't say anything. Ye Banxia glanced at them, lowered his head and wiped the corner of his mouth, then walked around them and went inside without saying a word. The security guard looked at him, then at Shi Shangbai and Zhu Jin, opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.

The parties involved didn't care and they had nothing to say.

"Let's go." Shi Shangbai put his arm around Zhu Jin's shoulders, whispered something, and walked out again.

"Do you feel a little relieved?" After taking two steps, Shi Shangbai asked Zhu Jin, and the hand that hit him moved again.

"Are you the one who's angry? Your hand hurts, right?" Zhu Jin lowered his head to look at his hand.

"I was very angry, and that punch relieved me a little bit, but it's still not enough. But there's nothing I can do if it's not enough." Ishigami Bai paused and said, "...it hurts, but it's worth it." He should have said it didn't hurt to be cool, but it really hurt a lot. Thinking that Ye Banxia would be in more pain, he felt it was worth it.

"This is the first time I've seen you hit someone." Zhu Jin thought for a moment, "If Ye Banxia had fought back just now and you had been injured, it would have been embarrassing at the wedding tomorrow." Even with the best medicine, the bruises from a fight would not completely disappear in one night and would always leave traces.

Shi Shangbai froze. He hadn't even thought about this question just now! He actually overlooked such an important question. Fortunately, Ye Banxia didn't fight back, otherwise he would have been embarrassed to the point of being on the outer planet.

"Even if it's embarrassing, we'll be embarrassed together. Tomorrow you'll be the bride." After getting on the flying car, Ishigami Bai suddenly replied, following up on what Zhu Jin had said before. Seeing Zhu Jin looking at him, he raised his eyebrows, "All the guests' speculations are inseparable from you. With their rich imaginations, I wonder how many outrageous plots they will imagine. 'Getting angry for the beauty' is definitely just the most basic."

Zhu Jin had nothing to say about this.

After returning home and receiving the news, Fuling, who had skipped work, quickly finished her work and rushed to the Zhu family. Being a person of action, she began to investigate the reason why Ye Banxia lied without any hesitation.

They have known Ye Banxia for ten years, and no one can figure out why he is like this. If they don't know, they have to investigate. After working in the police system for a few years, Fuling, who is increasingly experienced in solving cases and conducting investigations, flexed his fingers and began to act.

After going through a brutal competition, I finally became Zhu Jin's bridesmaid. I must solve the problem before the wedding starts tomorrow.

Shi Shangbai used the power in his hands to cooperate with the expert Zhu Yexin. Zhu Jin's connections over the years are no joke. Although confidentiality is taken into consideration, there are still many that can be used.

On the surface, they seemed to be preparing for their wedding at home as usual, but in reality, it was not the case at all.

Both the police station and the procuratorate have been efficient. Before five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Jin received a court summons, informing him that the court trial would begin at eight o'clock the next morning.

"It's okay to end it tomorrow morning. We have a wedding in the afternoon." After looking at the subpoena, Ishigami Bai's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he said lightly.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the simple case finally had new clues, and everyone was cheered up. Zhu Yexin looked at the information sent over and exhaled, "There is a reason why I hate simple cases." Compared to complex cases, the simpler the case, the more difficult it is.

A group of people worked until midnight.

The next day, they all got up with bruises under their eyes and appeared in court. The trial was held on the day of Zhu Jin's wedding. It was too bad luck, and the people handling the case could not violate the case handling procedures or delay. All they could do was to keep the case absolutely confidential.

The news was not leaked until the trial began.

After waking up, the people of the Blue Water Planet habitually browsed the news. When they saw the first news that caught their eyes, "Dr. Zhu Jin and Mr. Ishigami Bai got married today," they sent their blessings. In their imagination, the bride and groom were busy preparing for the wedding in the court.

Zhu Jin is the defendant, and perhaps several years in prison awaits her.

Zhu Jin had been through the court procedure several times and was already very familiar with it. He repeated the familiar things and submitted very little physical evidence. Everything was calm until Ye Banxia went to court to testify.

Zhu Jin heard what Ye Banxia had said. There was no hostage-taking, yet the story was flawless. Zhu Jin looked at Ye Banxia as he calmly narrated his testimony and listened carefully to every word he said.

Zhuyexin listened more carefully and did not speak until the stage of applying to question witnesses.

"Witness, according to what you said just now, you were too tired and kept looking down, and when you saw the syringe on the ground, you picked it up curiously and were about to tear it apart, when you heard a noise, and when you looked up, you saw the defendant and the victim fighting, and the dagger that hurt the victim was in the defendant's hand, right?"

"Yes." Ye Banxia answered affirmatively.

"Did you see from whom the dagger was taken? The accused or the victim?"

"I didn't see it." Ye Banxia paused before answering.

"I see. Thank you for the witness's cooperation in answering." Zhuyexin nodded and turned to the judge. "The dispute in this case is whether the defendant was held hostage. We believe that in addition to the testimony of the witness, we can also judge whether he was held hostage by looking at the owner of the dagger, the physical evidence."

"This is the additional evidence provided by the defendant." Zhu Yexin provided additional evidence in court. This is a trick that all lawyers are good at. The most crucial evidence will not be presented until the final trial.

The evidence was video evidence, which was quickly played in court. Zhu Yexin explained, "There was no surveillance equipment at the scene of the accident, but there was surveillance video at the gate of the cemetery. This was a video of the defendant entering the cemetery. He had nothing in his hands, and there was no space in his clothes to carry a dagger."

"This is the video of the victim on the day he entered the cemetery. As a cemetery staff member, he was wearing work clothes." Zhu Yexin picked up the work clothes of the cemetery that were paid as evidence. "This is the work clothes we borrowed from the cemetery. The evidence dagger can be easily put in the pocket of the work clothes and carried on the body."

As Ye Banxia frowned slightly, the second video evidence was played. "This is a video of the victim buying something in a supermarket not far from the cemetery more than four months ago, on the evening of January 1, 3708 AD. After analysis and comparison, the dagger the victim bought at that time is the physical evidence dagger."

"As everyone knows, January 1, 3708 AD is the death anniversary of the late Blue Queen. Every year the defendant goes to the cemetery to pay homage, and more than four months ago was no exception." Zhu Yexin said as the third piece of video evidence played.

"This is a video from January 1, 3708. The defendant and his father met the victim when they were coming down the mountain after worshipping. After they passed each other, the victim turned around and looked at the defendant for a long time. In the evening, the victim bought a dagger in a supermarket."

Zhu Yexin concluded, "Through these evidences, we can conclude that the dagger belonged to the victim and that the victim may have held the defendant hostage."

The judge looked at each other and finally announced that the physical evidence submitted by the defendant was valid.

Zhuye Xin asked Ye Banxia again, "Witness, the defendant claims that he and the witness have known each other for more than nine years and that they are friends. Witness, is what the defendant said true?"

"It's true." Ye Banxia responded with two words.

"Does the witness know the victim?" Zhu Yexin's expression was calm.

"I don't know him." Ye Banxia frowned.

“Didn’t you know each other eighteen years ago?” Zhuye Xin followed closely.

"What?" Ye Banxia asked back reflexively, her heart skipping a beat.

"Didn't the witness know the victim eighteen years ago?" Zhu Yexin repeated.

"Judge, I protest. The lawyer asked questions that are irrelevant to the case." Ye Banxia protested.

"The protest is valid." The judge accepted his protest.

"Please allow us to submit information that questions the authenticity of the witness' testimony." Zhu Ye Xin stopped asking questions and changed the subject to say something even more shocking than the question itself.

The judge has no right to refuse.

This time the evidence was a photo. When the photo appeared, Ye Banxia's pupils suddenly shrank and his expression finally changed.

Zhu Yexin glanced at it calmly and began to explain, "This is a news photo from eighteen years ago. The defendant Zhu Jin, formerly known as Helian Nan, was a princess of the royal family of Shuilan Star. The kidnapping case of Princess Nan when she was twelve years old caused a sensation. Later it was discovered that it was just a misunderstanding and Princess Nan was not kidnapped at all."

"This is the photo of Princess Nan when she reappeared in public on the day of the kidnapping incident. This is Princess Nan at that time." Zhu Yexin pointed at Helian Nan and then moved to the corner of the photo. "This is the witness from twelve years ago. At that time, his name was Ye Hui."
