After being murdered by my whole family, I was reborn

Chapter 2178 He stuffed him into a gift box and carried him into the villa

After the trial began, the plaintiff's two lawyers each presented various pieces of evidence, accusing Zhang Ran of instructing her bodyguard Guo Xiao to commit murder and accusing her of committing multiple crimes. However, apart from the former, whose evidence was conclusive, the latter's evidence could only indirectly prove that Zhang Ran was suspected of committing a crime, and could not prove that she had actually committed a crime. Therefore, the principle of "innocent until proven guilty" applies.

The judge spent some time reviewing all the evidence and then had the bodyguard, Guo Xiao, brought in.

Guo Xiao was escorted to the courtroom by prison guards and stood side by side with Zhang Ran inside the fence. He first bowed to the judge.

The judge asked him several questions and asked him to identify the mastermind behind the scenes in court.

All eyes were on Guo Xiao, anxiously waiting for him to point to Zhang Ran beside him.

Guo Xiao's gaze swept around the room before settling on Zhang Ran.

He then looked away and turned to the judge, saying, "The mastermind is not in court."

The judge frowned and subconsciously looked down at the statement.

"You're talking nonsense!" Chen Zhaodi, who was sitting in a wheelchair, suddenly stood up and protested loudly.

The barristers sitting on either side of her immediately reminded her not to make loud noises in court and disrupt court order, gesturing for her to be quiet and saying they would handle it.

One of the senior lawyers stood up and looked at Guo Xiao, warning him in a serious tone: "The statement you made at the police station clearly points to Zhang Ran as the mastermind behind this."

Guo Xiao, in a fit of emotion, accused: "It wasn't my boss who ordered it! It was Gu Jinhe who kidnapped my family! He forced me to kill Old Man Chen and frame my boss, otherwise he would kill my whole family!"

He then broke down in tears and confessed, "I had no choice. My parents and my sister are in his hands. If I don't do as he says, he'll kill them."

“I shouldn’t have killed him. I’m so sorry to the victim.” He bowed toward the plaintiff’s seat. “I beg the judge to find me guilty. I am willing to compensate the victim’s family for all their demands.”

There was an uproar.

The two top lawyers in the plaintiff's seat, who had a 100% chance of winning, turned green with shock.

Sitting in his wheelchair, Chen Zhaodi's eyes changed, becoming filled with resentment and hatred that seemed to overflow from them.

In the dock, Qi Hongyan and Cheng Mingtai seemed to have anticipated this situation, remaining calm and showing no unusual reaction.

On the contrary, the expressions of the people in the spectator seats were varied. Some were happy, some were surprised, some were overjoyed and cried, some were depressed, and some had an expression of knowing it.

The judge was used to Guo Xiao changing his story in court, so he asked him to recount the events again and then produce evidence.

Qi Hongyan immediately presented the statements of the neighbors after Guo Xiao's family was kidnapped, the police investigation records, the video of Guo Xiao's family personally accusing Gu Jinhe after being rescued, and their handwritten statements.

The two lawyers in the plaintiff's seat panicked and whispered to each other behind Chen Zhaodi's back: "Didn't they say they didn't go out to collect evidence at all? Where did they get the evidence they have now?"

"You're asking me? Who should I ask? I have a bad feeling; I'm probably going to be in deep trouble this time."

To avoid getting his hands dirty and being implicated by the police, Gu Jinhe instructed his bodyguard, Xiao Wang, to have Guo Xiao's family kidnapped by the triads.

Practice makes perfect. Guard Xiao Wang had previously hired people to kidnap Xie Wei, He Yunfan, and Liu Yihao. Because he succeeded once, he hired the same gang of thugs to kidnap Guo Xiao's family again.

Guo Xiao went to the hospital to commit murder, and Zhang Ran received a call from Lin Jing asking her what to do.

So that night, K and J kidnapped Guo Xiao to avoid being discovered by Gu Jinhe's men, stuffed him into a gift box and carried him into the villa.
