The strongest rebirth in history

Chapter 80 The Trial of Xie Wei

After sending Huangfu Wenyan away, Ye Cong returned to New York, because Xie Wei's case was about to go to trial. If Xie Wei was acquitted, he would definitely bring Xie Wei back to China. So many secretive people in America.

In fact, the main point of disagreement in the Xie Wei case is whether Xie Wei really knew in advance that the terrorists wanted to control American Airlines Flight 11 from crashing into the World Trade Center.

If Xie Wei really knew this in advance, then his behavior could even be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom It is the highest reward for ordinary people in the United States).

And if Xie Wei didn't know about this in advance, then his behavior constituted a crime of endangering public safety, and Xie Wei could be sentenced to a maximum of 100 years in prison.

"Here, on behalf of my client, I would like to apologize to the judge and jurors, because my client has indeed given a false statement." As soon as the court session started, the words of Xie Wei's defense lawyer aroused the attention of journalists and people who attended the case. There was an uproar.

"Quiet, please keep quiet in the auditorium." The judge knocked on the table a few times with his gavel.

"My client did not know that the terrorists would hit the World Trade Center in a dream. He actually predicted what happened on September 9 through the ancient and mysterious Chinese divination. But my client was worried about himself. If the matter of divination gets out, it will have a great impact on my life, so I concealed the truth of the matter." Xie Wei's defense lawyer continued.

"Your Honor, since the plaintiff's defense lawyer said that the plaintiff knows divination and can predict the future, I have a few questions for the plaintiff." The prosecution lawyer said.

"The prosecution lawyers are asked to ask the plaintiff questions," the judge said.

"You said you could use divination to predict the future?" the prosecution lawyer said.

"Yes." Xie Wei said.

"Then if this is the case, why don't you make your life better? As far as I know, before that, you were just the owner of a Chinese restaurant with a monthly income of about 5000 US dollars, and you were still single." The prosecution asked the lawyer.It seems that the other party's lawyer came prepared. What he meant was that since Xie Wei would not know the future, why did the Prophet have such a miserable life before?

"We Chinese fortune tellers all have a rule that we can't do divination for ourselves, and we can't use it for our own profit, otherwise we will suffer retribution." Xie Wei replied.

"Then why didn't you prevent the previous terrorist attacks in the United States?" the prosecution lawyer asked again.

"Because divination also has a certain place and time range, and there is also a problem of probability. I am not an omnipotent god." Xie Wei replied.

"Oh! Then can you show us your divination skills on the spot?" said the prosecution lawyer

"Your Honor, can you give me eight coins?" Xie Wei said.

"Okay," said the judge.

So Xie Wei's defense lawyer took out the eight coins prepared in advance and gave them to Xie Wei.

After Xie Wei got the coins, he began to mutter words, and then threw the coins on the ground one by one, while the spectators and the jury all stretched their necks to experience this mysterious and ancient oriental divination. surgery.

After all the eight coins were thrown out, Xie Wei squatted on the ground and watched them carefully for a while, then took out his right hand and started pointing his other fingers one by one like a fortune teller.

At this time, if you put your ear next to Xie Wei's mouth, you will hear him saying: "Fried beans in a frying pan, the more they are fried, the more smelly they become. If they are so smelly, throw the house away..."

Suddenly Xie Wei stood up.

"Your Honor, I have calculated that in 10 minutes there will be heavy snowfall within [-] kilometers of the courthouse." Xie Wei said.

"What? Defendant, please say it again." The judge wondered if he had heard it wrong. How could it snow in New York in September?

"I said that within 10 minutes there will be heavy snowfall within ten kilometers here." Xie Wei repeated.

At this time, the auditorium was boiling again, and even the jurors started to talk about it.

"Please be quiet." The judge had no choice but to knock on the table again and again with his gavel.

"In view of the particularity of this case, the court will be adjourned for 15 minutes, and the trial will continue in 15 minutes," the judge said.Because whether it will snow outside the court in 10 minutes will be an important evidence for judging this case.

Less than 2 minutes after the judge announced the adjournment, the entire courtroom was deserted. Everyone wanted to go outside to see if it would snow in 10 minutes.

Perhaps waiting always makes people feel that time passes very slowly, and some people feel as if half an hour has passed after just a few minutes.

"Let's go, let's go back. I think that person is a liar. How can it snow in September?"

"Yeah, I think he must have something to do with terrorists. Maybe the balloon is used to locate terrorists. Didn't there be heavy fog that day?"

At this time, the impatient crowd had already started to question Xie Wei.

"There's still half a minute left. I'll see how you can justify yourself by then." The corner of the prosecution's lawyer raised his mouth slightly.

But just when some people were about to go back indoors, the sky began to fall with sporadic snowflakes, and it turned into heavy snow after 1 minute.

"Your Honor and all jurors, although I am an atheist, Mr. Xie Wei has shown everyone his magic. He is indeed capable of predicting what may happen in the future. We cannot just because the current science cannot To explain this phenomenon is to deny it... So in summary, I think my client should be a hero who saved thousands of lives, and the accusation against my client is completely tarnishing my client's heroic behavior. My closed case The statement is over." After speaking, the defense lawyer bowed his head to the judge and the jury and sat down.

After the lawyers of both parties finished their closing statements, the judge announced the adjournment, and the jury deliberated on the final result.

After more than an hour of deliberation, the jury came out again.

"Is the jury out yet?" asked the judge.

"Yes, our jury has unanimously ruled that Xie Wei is not guilty of endangering public safety." A juror sitting in the front row of the jury stood up and announced the jury's decision.

(To popularize a little knowledge, the so-called unanimous verdict of the jury means that everyone is found guilty or not guilty. At that time, all the jurors must have the same opinion before the judge can make a judgment. If one person disagrees, it will be re-tried. It’s just It is only now that majoritarianism is applied.)
