Chapter 694 Hard to Prove
"Lawyer Qu said it would be better to wear it like this..." Qin Lu touched her face, feeling uncomfortable.
"Dress conservatively to avoid giving the judge and jury a frivolous impression." Mu Zi carefully looked at Qin Lu's face and said, "But it's a bit too much to be completely naked, so let's put on some makeup."
Too much is too much, she is obviously a prostitute, if she deliberately dresses up pure and innocent, it will be disgusting.
After Mu Zi explained, Qin Lu and Jiang Rong went to the bathroom to touch up their makeup.
People came in one after another in the courtroom. For some reason, Mu Zi suddenly felt strange, as if someone was watching her from behind.
She turned and looked around, but only saw some strange faces.
Is it an illusion?
The trial started soon, and Mu Zi turned her attention back to the case. She sat next to Qu Mingjun with another trainee lawyer as his assistant lawyer.
Zhao Jiahui's defense lawyer is a middle-aged man surnamed Meng, wearing glasses and looking very shrewd.
Since Qu Mingjun was the plaintiff, Qu Mingjun spoke first.
"At 3:00 p.m. on July 30, the defendant Zhao Jiahui and two friends met in a villa on Fusheng Road, and purchased special services from the nightclub. The foreman of the nightclub notified my client, Ms. Qin Lu, to go to the villa. Qin Lu refused, and the foreman lied to Qin Lu, claiming that the client this time was only Zhao Jiahui's friend, not Zhao Jiahui, but when Qin Lu arrived at the villa, Zhao Jiahui forcibly detained her and sexually assaulted and abused her!"
Qu Mingjun explained the facts of the case clearly, and made a request: "We request the court to arrest the defendant Zhao Jiahui for the crime of rape, and claim a total of 3.5 million for medical expenses and mental damage."
The other party's lawyer said: "We do not accept this accusation. My client, Mr. Zhao Jiahui, only accepted the services of Ms. Qin Lu that day. Both parties are free to do business as usual. The other party's accusation is groundless and completely malicious extortion!"
The female judge glanced at the opposing lawyer, and said expressionlessly: "The defense lawyer, please be careful with your words. Before the case is settled, does claiming to be blackmailed constitute a crime of defamation?"
Lawyer Meng's face was slightly stiff, and his eyes were a little unhappy, and he said depressedly: "Yes, Your Honor, I will pay attention."
It seems that although the judge didn't have a good impression of Qin Lu, he didn't even have a good impression of the rich young master who was spending his days and nights.
Qu Mingjun applied to call the first witness, Jiang Rong.
Jiang Rong is a waiter who works in this nightclub with Qin Lu.
On the day of the incident, Qin Lu was massacred and seriously injured. Zhao Jiahui patted his ass and left after playing. Qin Lu called Jiang Rong for help.
Seeing Qin Lu's miserable state, Jiang Rong scolded Zhao Jiahui for being a beast, and sent Qin Lu to the hospital, called the police, and made notes.
It's just that Zhao Jiahui exonerated himself on the grounds that he had given money. The two rich young masters who were also in the villa at the time also said that Qin Lu sold it voluntarily, but the case was not filed in the end.
"Miss Jiang Rong, on the day of the incident, when you saw Miss Qin Lu, she was covered in bruises and couldn't even stand up by herself. You sent her to the hospital and called the police for her, isn't that right?" Qu Mingjun asked.
Jiang Rong nodded, "Yes."
"Do you still remember what Miss Qin Lu said at that time?" Qu Mingjun continued to ask, "Did she tell you that she was raped by Zhao Jiahui?"
Jiang Rong looked at Qin Lu who was sitting on the table, showing hesitation.
Facing the rich, they were originally in a disadvantaged position, and it was especially difficult to provide evidence. Now Jiang Rong is the only witness left.
But……
Jiang Rong withdrew her gaze and lowered her head slightly.
"No." She said, "Qin Lu told me that this sale is not worth it. The money Zhao Jiahui gave is not even enough for the medical expenses. Zhao Jiahui must bleed again."
When the voice fell, the court was in an uproar.
