Chapter 1,360: One wave after another, reversal, reversal, reversal
Regarding Chen De'an's second version, Goodman said bluntly: "What are you talking about? Do you mean that your mistress is proficient in banking network systems? Isn't she a professional photographer? Do you want the judge to think you are
Are you insulting their intelligence?"
Chen De'an defended: "She used to work in a bank and met her husband there!"
But this is still not enough for Goodman to agree: "Technology is changing with each passing day. You should know this very well. In addition to photography, is she still studying information technology?"
"Maybe her husband helped her! Or maybe she told the truth to her husband..." Chen De'an said without hesitation.
All the audience couldn't help but feel happy.
Goodman wrote in his notebook: "Laura: cover up, cover up!"
"Once she uses a honey trap, no one can stop her."
"Typical femme fatale? Beauty brings disaster? Is this what you mean?"
The camera changes at the next moment. Because this shot is based on Chen De'an's description, what is shown to the audience is as if Laura is a femme fatale, including her makeup, tone of voice, clothing, etc., it is all like this.
Then, he told Goodman that Laura had been threatening him and that she had evidence to prove that Chen De'an did not go to Paris at all.
Later, he said that at the banquet where he went to receive the award, a man who claimed to be a reporter approached him, and that man was actually Thomas, the father of the victim Daniel.
Thomas noticed two details: 1. Laura adjusted the seat, indicating that Laura was not driving before. 2. Daniel made a call on his mobile phone after leaving home, which means that Daniel's mobile phone was not always at home.
He suspected that Laura's accomplice was Chen De'an.
But soon after returning home, he saw on the news that his son was slandered as a thief and absconded in fear of crime. His wife collapsed.
He began to investigate and follow up, and soon confirmed the relationship between Laura and Chen De'an.
But Chen De'an refused to admit it at all at the time, and he was quickly taken away by security guards.
Goodman concluded: "Two murders, two bodies, and the murder of your mistress is directly related to the death of that boy!"
"But for the police, there is only one murder, because there is only one body, Laura's body, and you are the suspect, but for us, and for the boy's father, Thomas, there is another
The murder and the body are the missing boy Daniel!"
"And the boy's father thinks you and Laura are the murderers, and she is already dead, so the murderer is..."
"What does this remind you of?" Goodman asked, looking at Chen De'an.
Chen De'an asked instead: "What else did you think of?"
"I thought about the mystery in the hotel room, the murderer you said killed your mistress Laura and then disappeared into thin air!"
"Do you think he is related to that boy Daniel?" Chen De'an asked.
Attorney Goodman nodded.
"There's a missing boy and key figures besides his parents!"
He was referring to the passing driver.
But Goodman retorted: "Do you want the jury to think that the person who asked you to go to the hotel was the driver? What was his purpose for meeting you?"
"To blackmail us, because he knows we are murderers, but he doesn't know that Laura and I are not a couple!"
Goodman interrupted: "Pay attention to the details. If you want the jury to believe what you say, you must let the details speak for it to be more credible!"
"I haven't told you how we were coerced into going to the hotel!" Chen De'an said.
He received a letter signed Daniel, which contained a photo of the lake where his car sank, and a blackmail recording.
The other party asked for one million Hong Kong dollars!
And he threatened that if he didn't get the money, he would send the photos to the police and let the police find the body!
But his words made Goodman feel that they were full of loopholes.
"How did the driver know where your car sank?" Goodman questioned.
Chen De'an said that he heard a sound before the car sank. Maybe the driver didn't believe Laura's words at all, didn't believe that we had a car accident, or was suspicious of us, and then hid in secret to observe us!
Although it is Chen De'an's description, it is shown through pictures in the movie. It can be said that this is a common routine of mystery suspense films, because it is just his narration, but of course after the audience sees the picture, they will subconsciously think that things are happening.
That's it.
"I understand what you mean. Do you want to mislead the cause of the boy's death? In order to clear your suspicion!"
"You think the driver's motive was money, and you think if you focus the murder on the driver's extortion, no one will think of the boy? Then you reduced the charge of murder!"
Chen De'an asked: "Do you have a better way?"
Goodman shook his head, dismissing the possibility that the driver had killed someone.
"I ask you three questions, and as long as you can answer one, we will continue to use your nonsense excuses!" Goodman stood up again.
"First, how do you explain the text messages you received on your phone? Second, why didn't the murderer take the money away? If his motive was to make money, why was the result the opposite? Third, how did the murderer disappear out of thin air?
"
"Do you understand? Your rhetoric will play into the prosecutor's heart. He will destroy his own image with nonsense, and then tell a bunch of loopholes..."
Chen De'an also frowned when Goodman said: "That's enough, don't say any more!"
"Why don't you tell me how to defend yourself?"
"Okay, let's restructure your story and reduce the flaws in your rhetoric."
"Back at the station, the person who blackmailed you called at five o'clock in the afternoon..."
According to Goodman, the murderer booked a hotel room in advance using Chen De'an's name, 715!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then the murderer had long been hiding in the room and attacked Chen De'an when he came in, and then the murderer killed Laura.
And the murderer is...Daniel's father, Thomas!
He is out for revenge!
But when Goodman revealed the identity of the murderer, Chen De'an stopped and said, "You said he was the murderer?"
"What? Don't you think so? This is an option that you can use as a defense. The judge will accept it because he has a criminal motive. When a father knows that the police are protecting the murderer of his son, then the only thing he can do is
All you can do is take revenge yourself!"
"Kill one of us and then blame the other?" Chen De'an continued following her words.
"Yes, a seamless plan. Now everyone thinks you are guilty, including the police, your wife, and the company partners. He not only made you a murderer, but also destroyed your career and family, reducing you to
You can only let the lawyer spend a lot of money to bail you out. So, you came up with this conspiracy theory, and then he came to me for help to verify this theory! See if it is tenable! Because your lawyer
I know if you can convince me, you can convince the judge!"
This is exactly the case.
This is exactly what Chen De'an and lawyer Felix planned.
Because Goodman is a top defense lawyer who announced her retirement two weeks ago, and she views your case as a farewell to her career!
"She will never let herself lose the case!"
The camera returns to the hotel and the room where Goodman and Chen De'an are.
"That's it. The only way to prove that you didn't kill your mistress is to blame Thomas, the boy's father, but then you have to confess that you killed his son!"
But Chen De'an still had doubts: "But this still cannot prove how he disappeared from that room out of thin air!"
"I'm pretty sure there was no one in the room when I woke up!"
Goodman smiled and said: "Do you know what lateral thinking is? It is to change the perspective of thinking and analyze the problem at hand!"
She picked up a document and said, "This is a police file photo!"
She walked up to Chen De'an, opened the file, and let him see the photos inside!
She asked Chen De'an to pay attention to the details inside.
After clicking on the details, she pointed out that the details may not be within the room, but could also be outside the room. She clicked on the mother of the boy in the photo!
She said Thomas had set him up and deliberately chose a hotel not far from his home to meet.
The method that allowed him to disappear out of thin air was the window handle, which was made in advance by Thomas's wife, the mother of the boy who died in the car accident.
Then commit his perfect crime!
She left the money at the scene, put her mobile phone back into her bag, confirmed that Chen De'an's fingerprints were on the murder weapon, and then opened the window with the prepared handle and fled the scene.
The audience at the film show couldn't help but feel a little enlightened.
Because there seems to be no bug in this reasoning.
Everyone believes that this is probably the truth, or very close to the truth.
At this time, Goodman's cell phone rang again.
She picked up the call and told Chen De'an that although she didn't know the witness's name yet, she knew who it was.
"It's the driver!"
"We have to speed up and come up with a solution!" Goodman said with a serious face.
Chen De'an also panicked and said, "I'm dead now!"
"Just listen to me and you'll be fine!" Goodman remained calm and confident.
"Now let's assume that you were not with Laura on the day of the accident. According to the alibi, you were in Baodao, and Laura rented the room in your name. In other words, you were not involved. Then
The car accident, the license plate information and other relevant evidence were all planned by Laura. Currently, it is to give birth to the boy who was killed. We have to convince the judge that you are also a victim of Laura's cold-blooded conspiracy, and
You would go to the hotel just because she asked you to help, and before that, you knew nothing about Daniel!
And his father blames you for his son’s disappearance!”
Chen De'an hesitated and said: "Do you want me to be the victim of Laura's planning incident?"
In this section, Goodman spoke very quickly, and the scenes were switching rapidly, giving a sense of urgency.
"In this way, the only thing missing is direct evidence of connection between Laura and Daniel's bodies!" Goodman said.
"Tell me, how to connect them?" Chen De'an asked.
"You have to put Laura's personal belongings in the sunken car. Just put this matter on Laura and you will be fine!"
"And the only thing you did wrong was just helping her hide the accident!" A smile appeared on Goodman's face.
As she said that, she took the newspaper with the map and came to sit next to Chen De'an: "So, where did you sink the car?"
"We can tell the police anonymously, and you don't need to come forward, but if there is no body, we can't be convicted, so we can't convince the jury, and they will still think that you killed Laura because you lost control of your emotions!"
"We are just a little bit closer to exonerating you!"
However, Chen De'an did not immediately tell her the location of the sunken car. Instead, he said: "If the most important information is in the hands of the prosecutor, how can I get away with it?"
"The driver asked us to meet at the accident scene, and Felix was planning to bribe him!"
At this moment, Goodman suddenly threw out a message that confused Chen De'an and all the viewers.
"The prosecution has no mystery witness at all!"
"What?"
"No one went to see the judge. I made up the secret witness to get some necessary information!" Goodman confessed.
Immediately, the movie theater was in an uproar.
Not to mention Chen De'an in the movie.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Why did you lie to me?" Chen De'an looked confused.
"Why didn't you just tell the truth from the beginning?" Goodman asked.
"Because I want to confirm whether you can discover the reason why the murderer disappeared out of thin air!" Chen De'an said.
Both sides have their own positions and their own calculations.
"I knew he was the murderer from the beginning, and I also knew his wife worked in the hotel!"
"Then why didn't you say it?"
Another reversal made the audience's brains go crazy.
Because they all believe that the witness exists, and the plot has always been based on this line.
"I want to confirm whether you are worthy of my fate, Ms. Goodman!"
Goodman picked up the pen and newspaper again and said, "Where did you sink the car?"
This time Chen De'an told Goodman that his sunken car was also the place where his body was dumped.
The audience all understands that this is because both parties confessed to each other.
At this moment, Chen De'an suddenly said again: "There is one more thing I didn't say..."
It turned out that when Chen De'an sank the car, he discovered that the person in the trunk of the car was not dead!
He even opened the trunk, and the other party had woken up and even reached out to grab his hand.
"I swear I thought he was dead!"
"Fuck!"
"Holy shit!"
Many viewers couldn't help but swear, because this was definitely something they had never thought of before!
No one thought that the truth would be this.
When lawyer Goodman heard this, his expression suddenly changed!
"Now that Laura has gotten to this point, I have no way of turning back. If the police find the boy's body for an autopsy, then the evidence will be conclusive for me!"
"I have to make sure you can handle it for me!"
Goodman said: "I can help you avoid jail, but it doesn't change the fact that you are a scumbag!"
Chen De'an defended: "Listen to me, the boy was already almost dead at that time, and he was not even close to death!"
"Stop fooling yourself, you are the murderer!" Goodman looked extremely angry.
But Chen De'an said: "So you are testing me again? Simulating the prosecutor's fierce offensive when questioning me!"
Goodman shook his head: "The confession you just made has changed the situation, and now you are in my hands! If what you just said is published by me in court, you will be finished!"
"You are not allowed to do this!" Chen De'an also pointed at her angrily and shouted.
"Did you hear that?"
"You are exactly what the prosecutor wants to see, that desperate look! If you are easily angered and want to humiliate me, come on! I think the prosecutor will also want to see you! You look like an arrogant and domineering bastard!
"
At this moment, everyone at the movie screening was looking at the big screen attentively.
Looking at lawyers Chen De'an and Goodman who were completely different from before.
It can be said that the confrontation between the two people, although to a certain extent, they are actually on the same team, such a confrontation is still amazing.
