Hearing this, Meng Liqun, Gao Pingfeng and others looked happy, but Qin Hanlin, Fang Wenfei and others had ugly expressions.
The lawyer said: "Thank you Professor Lin for the professional appraisal."
Lin Peng said: "You're welcome."
The lawyer looked at Fang Wenfei and Qin Hanlin: "Defendant, after identification, the creation manuscript provided by the plaintiff was written earlier than the time of the first singing of "Eternal Life" and the copyright registration time. Can you provide other evidence of creation, and the time is earlier?
The manuscript was created earlier than this?”
Qin Hanlin sighed: "President, we have no other evidence."
On the way here, he asked Fang Wenfei if he had written any manuscripts.
Fang Wenfei suddenly said: "Presiding Judge, I am not questioning Professor Lin Peng's professional ability, but is it possible that the forgery of this creative manuscript was so clever that Professor Lin didn't notice it for a while?"
She didn't believe there was any creative manuscript for "Eternal Life".
Putting aside the fact that "Eternal Life" was passed down to her by Chen Hao, there is no way that Chen Hao could steal other people's works.
Even she herself, after singing "Eternal Life" many times, can also realize that "Eternal Life" may seem simple and lofty, but actually contains very strong emotions.
And strong feelings can only be a short-term behavior.
The time span is too long, let alone decades, the relationship will fade away in a few months.
Therefore, "Eternal Life" must have been created in one go.
Gao Pingfeng's creative manuscript is definitely fake.
Lin Peng looked very unhappy after hearing this, but he still restrained himself and said: "Miss Fang, I know you are a professional singer, but there are different professions and specialties. Maybe you are very proficient in music, but you are not good at handwriting in calligraphy, painting, manuscripts, and cultural relics."
Identification is an area you may not know much about.
I can tell you responsibly that I have done similar appraisals many times and I have never made a mistake."
The implication is, if you don’t understand it at all, don’t question me.
Fang Wenfei said: "I don't know your major, but Professor Lin, can you guarantee that you will not get it wrong?"
Everyone frowned when they heard this.
What Fang Wenfei said was a bit unreasonable.
Lin Peng's face also darkened, and he sneered: "Miss Fang, if you question my appraisal, you can apply to the Law Court for re-appraisal, and then invite a first-class cultural relics appraiser to re-appraise this manuscript.
They are all national-level cultural relic appraisers who are more qualified and more authoritative than me. If the appraisal results are contrary to mine, I will apologize to you in public!"
Fang Wenfei was about to speak when suddenly, the lawyer picked up his gavel and knocked it hard: "Quiet!"
Qin Hanlin quickly pulled Fang Wenfei and signaled her to stop talking.
The lawyer looked at Fang Wenfei solemnly: "Defendant, Professor Lin Peng is a professional appraiser recognized by the Law School. Regardless of whether you agree or not, this trial will recognize Professor Lin's appraisal results. If you continue to make trouble unreasonably, I will let you
The law enforcement officers will ask you to get out."
When Qin Hanlin heard this, he pulled Fang Wenfei again, trying to persuade her not to be impulsive and to resist the law officer, as it would not do any good.
Fang Wenfei was silent, feeling aggrieved and angry at the same time.
She never expected that the trial would turn out like this.
The lawyer said: "Defendant, let me ask you one last time, do you have any other evidence that you created "Eternal Life" earlier than the manuscript provided by the plaintiff?"
Qin Hanlin said: "No."
The lawyer asked: "Plaintiff and defendant, do you need free debate?"
Meng Liqun shook his head and said: "President, the evidence we submitted is sufficient to prove that my client is the creator of "Eternal Life", so there is no need for free debate."
Qin Hanlin hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "We don't need it either."
The lawyer nodded: "I declare that the court will now be adjourned and it will be time for deliberation.
After the deliberation, the court session will continue and the verdict of this case will be announced.”
With that said, the lawyer stood up and left the court with his assistant, clerk and others.
Qin Hanlin's face was solemn and he whispered to Fang Wenfei: "Miss Fang, now is the review time and our last chance. Think carefully about whether there is any other evidence of creation. If not, we will definitely lose."
Fang Wenfei gritted her teeth and said, "What will happen if we lose?"
Qin Hanlin said: "If we lose, the lawyer will most likely make a ruling based on the four points raised by the plaintiff. Although we can appeal, without new evidence, the appeal will only delay time.
Once the final judgment is made, not only will you suffer huge losses in reputation and income, but you may also be subject to criminal prosecution, and your acting career will be completely ruined."
Fang Wenfei's face changed drastically: "I'm going to make a call."
After saying that, she took her cell phone and rushed out of the court.
Qin Hanlin and Yang Lu looked at each other.
"Go and keep an eye on it..." Yang Lu whispered to a female assistant beside him.
The female assistant went out.
"The phone you dialed has been turned off..." Fang Wenfei stood outside the door of the court, listening to the electronic female voice coming from the phone, her face changed.
The phone number she dialed was Chen Hao's.
After all, if you want to prove that you are not stealing, you can only find Chen Hao, the real original author.
"Is something going to happen?"
Fang Wenfei couldn't help but worry.
Chen Hao turned off his phone last night, probably because he was sleeping, but now it is almost noon the next day and it is still shutting down, which is not normal.
Immediately, Fang Wenfei smiled bitterly. Now that she was a clay Buddha crossing the river, she could not save herself, but she still worried about Chen Hao's safety.
She opened her mobile browser and searched for the contact information of Chenguang Foreign Languages College.
I remember Chen Hao said that he is a teacher at Chenguang Foreign Languages College under Nanjiang University.
It's early March now, and the university is about to start.
Soon, Fang Wenfei found the number and called it.
This time someone answered the phone and knew Chen Hao, but said that Chen Hao had taken leave these days and did not come to the college to report. Besides his mobile phone, the college did not know Chen Hao's other contact information.
Fang Wenfei had no choice but to hang up the phone and leave a message on Chen Hao's WeChat, explaining what happened and hoping that Chen Hao would contact her as soon as possible after seeing it.
Due to her anxiety, Fang Wenfei also lost her usual vigilance and did not notice the female assistant following behind her quietly, eavesdropping on her phone call.
After leaving the message, Fang Wenfei returned to the Law Court.
Qin Hanlin asked: "How is it?"
Fang Wenfei said: "There is no way at the moment, but there should be a turn for the better in the future. Let's appeal."
She guessed that something might have happened to Chen Hao, but the appeal deadline was ten days, so Chen Hao couldn't remain uncontacted.
Qin Hanlin nodded and did not ask what the turning point was.
After a while, the female assistant also returned to the law court, sat down next to Yang Lu, and whispered what she had overheard.
"Morning College of Foreign Languages...Chen Hao..." Yang Lu looked thoughtful as she listened.
She took out her phone and quickly sent a message.
