In the following trial, the plaintiff's lawyer asked Guhan a lot of questions, and Guhan answered them very clearly. The whole scene seemed to have calmed down and returned to normal.
At the end of the questioning, the plaintiff's lawyer finished all the questions and was ready to make a concluding statement. Guhan suddenly asked a question. This was the first time Guhan took the initiative to ask a question.
He asked, "Mr. Lawyer, how many people are there in your family?
Are they living well? "
"Sword bearer Guhan, what do you mean by this?
Are you trying to threaten me? "As he said this, a few drops of sweat appeared on the lawyer's forehead.
He thought that the reason why Guhan asked him this question was to secretly threaten him, to use the safety of his family to threaten him.
"No, Mr. Lawyer, please don't misunderstand. I just want to know the answer to this question," Guhan said with a smile.
"Okay then, I'll tell you. There are a total of five people in my family.
They are living well, and they are very healthy. If something happens to them, you can't escape responsibility, "the lawyer said loudly.
Guhan didn't say anything else. Instead, he gestured for the lawyer to make a concluding statement.
"Mr. Chairman, after my questioning, I can basically confirm the fact that the defendant, sword bearer Guhan, did indeed kill the plaintiff's father, Cai Zhongwen, and it was by beheading him. This is an extremely vile act, and I hope the plaintiff can have a fair trial," the plaintiff's lawyer said as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"Defendant, sword bearer Guhan, now it's your turn to speak.
Because you didn't hire a lawyer, the ethics committee allows you to defend yourself, "Xinyu Sword Spirit said.
"Okay then, I'll say a few words. I didn't want to defend myself."
Guhan stood up. "Just now, I discussed the topic of cruelty with the plaintiff's lawyer. Everyone may think that I'm being unreasonable, deliberately disturbing the audience, and engaging in a boring debate.
As for my question about whether your family is safe, you also think that I'm threatening you. Am I right? "
The audience was whispering, and no one answered Guhan's question. However, one could tell from their angry eyes that they all thought so.
"I'm asking this question because I want to tell this lawyer that if it wasn't for me, Guhan's sword, his family might already be gone.
Maybe it's in Yuan Kou's stomach and has probably become fertilizer by now. "
"I, Guhan, admit that I killed the plaintiff's father, but I didn't do it for myself. I did it for the lives of the three million people in the core area of Yuzhang City, as well as the lives of the forty million ordinary people in Yuzhang City. I, Guhan, not only am I not at fault for killing people, but I have done meritorious service."
"These days, I've been very puzzled.
Why are you so angry with me?
Will such resentment me?
It's as if I'm a sinner for all eternity.
Everyone may know that I've been missing for the past few days and only appeared today. Do you know why? "
Guhan projected a photo from his personal terminal. The photo was of a medical pod. In the medical pod, there was only a person's head lying there. Below the neck, a small part of the shoulder had grown back. If one looked carefully, they could see that the head was actually Guhan's.
"This is my situation for the past ten days. I was injured, very seriously injured, and only my head was left.
If it wasn't for a kind person who saved my head and sent it to the hospital, you would have no chance to put me on trial. "
Guhan smiled and put the photo away. "I always thought I was a hero. In order to save Yuzhang City, I was willing to sacrifice my life.
But I didn't expect that someone would stab me in the back. This made me very disappointed. I'm disappointed in this city. I wonder if I should have saved this city in the first place. Maybe I should have just let it disappear with the wind. "
Hearing Guhan's self-defense, the onlookers suddenly realized why Guhan had been missing for so long. It turned out that he was seriously injured to the point where only his head was left.
He was fighting for Yuzhang City, so he was actually a hero!
The onlookers were talking about it, and their bad impression of Guhan also disappeared a lot.
Then the question was, Guhan's head had always been on his neck, and it had never been separated. Where did this photo come from?
The answer was very simple. Naturally, it was forged by Guhan. Who said that the protagonist couldn't forge evidence? Guhan was not a person who would waste time on an insignificant problem.
As long as he could win, it didn't matter if he forged a few photos.
"Nonsense!"
Seeing this, the plaintiff's lawyer stood up, walked to the front of the judge, and pleaded to the Nebula Sword Spirit, "Mr. Chairman, I have a few questions for Mr. Guhan. Please allow me."
"Sure, ask away!" The Nebula Sword Spirit nodded.
"Mr. Guhan, after listening to your defense, I have a lot of questions. I wonder if you can answer them?" the lawyer said.
"Up to you." Guhan sat down.
"First of all, although I don't know much about medical pods, I know that a treatment like physical regeneration isn't something an ordinary medical pod can achieve. We can see that you, who are in the medical pod, have actually recovered part of your body. Is there such a miraculous medical pod in the world?" the lawyer asked confidently.
"It seems that you really don't know enough about medical cabins."
The one who answered this question was not Gu Han, but the Shin Yu Sword Spirit who was sitting in the judge's seat. "I will answer this question on behalf of Mr. Gu Han. There are indeed medical pods that can regenerate one's body in this world. As for the other details, it is not something you can know. This is confidential, Mr. Lawyer.
"Oh …" The lawyer's face turned red, but he immediately calmed down. He took a deep breath and asked questions like a machine gun, "The Sword Committee released your missing-person notice for a total of 13 days. In other words, during the 13 days after the apocalypse, the Sword Committee didn't know about your situation, nor did they know where you were.
As far as I know, it only takes a few hours for your body to be reborn. So, why did you hide after a few hours? Why did you not let the Sword Committee know about you? "
"It's simple, because the rebirth of the body didn't start immediately after the purge. It only started on the thirteenth day, which is when I returned to the Sword Committee," Gu Han replied.
"That's even stranger. The rebirth of the body must begin within three minutes of the separation of the head. I'm afraid that half of your head would have rotted away in these thirteen days!" The lawyer's words caused the audience to burst into laughter.
"My head was frozen. As long as I can freeze my head in an instant, I can buy about half a year."
"That's even more ridiculous. Where would you find a place to freeze your head in an instant on the battlefield?"
"Even an ordinary medical cabin has the ability to freeze one's head in an instant. Didn't you say that you knew a lot about medical cabins?"
"… If you were placed in a medical cabin, then who did it?
Why didn't he report your situation to the Sword Committee? "
"It's my sword maidens. They turned back into their sword forms after my head was frozen. Naturally, they wouldn't report anything to the Sword Committee."
"Hmph, since your medical cabin can perform physical regeneration, why didn't you do it immediately? Instead, you delayed it until 13 days later. Is your medical cabin broken?
A broken medical cabin can't freeze your head! "
"You really don't understand medical cabins. Medical resources are needed to perform physical regeneration in medical cabins.
At the beginning of the invasion, my medical pod was used to treat a few seriously injured people, and the medical resources in the medical pod were all used up. Only some freezing fluid was left, so naturally, I had to freeze it first. "
"I don't believe that no one found your medical cabin in 13 days.
Could it be that the people searching for you are all blind? "
"I don't know about that. I was frozen for 13 days. When I opened my eyes, it was already the 14th day.
But the person who found me said that I was found in a mountain cave outside Yuzhang City. "
"What a joke. The whole battle happened in the core area. How did you get out of the city?"
"I was the one who sent him out!" At this time, a majestic voice rang out.
The person with the highest authority in Yuzhang City, the chairman of the Sword Committee, Liu Lei, walked into the trial hall and answered loudly, "It was an emergency. Guhan fought dozens of Dragon Level Yuan Kou. I couldn't save him in time and caused him to lose his head.
In order to prevent her medical pod from being damaged by the aftermath of the battle, and because I didn't know if I could hold on and defeat the invading Yuan Yan, I used the Void Gate to teleport her to a place that I don't know. Are you satisfied with my explanation? "
"Yes!"
The plaintiff's lawyer didn't dare to say anything else. He could only bow respectfully to Liu Lei and end the series of questions.
As for the authenticity of the photo, the lawyer didn't care from beginning to end. He took it for granted that the photo Guhan took out was real and that Guhan had performed physical regeneration.
In fact, all he had to do was ask Guhan for the photo and take it to an appraisal agency to find out that it was photoshopped.
Unfortunately, he didn't expect that Guhan would dare to fabricate evidence.
…
"Lu Yin, you should get up!" Lu Xihua patted Lu Yin's head.
"I'm not getting up. Let me sleep a little longer."
Lu Yin hid his head under the quilt. It was a soft and comfortable goose feather quilt. Lu Yin couldn't bear to let go of such a wonderful feeling.
"Isn't today the day of the trial for that Guhan you're concerned about?
Aren't you going to watch TV? "Lu Xihua asked curiously.
"No, I'm not going to watch. I don't want to care about those things anymore," Lu Yin mumbled under the quilt.
"If you're not going to watch, I'll watch!"
Lu Xihua opened the door to his room. There was no TV, so he didn't need to change the channel. All the radio stations were broadcasting the trial live.
Lu Xihua and Lu Yin heard a very familiar voice at the same time.
"Sister, isn't that your master's voice?"
Lu Yin quickly crawled out from under the quilt and found his sister staring at the TV with a dazed expression.
"He's Guhan?"
Lu Xihua had seen Guhan without the mask, but he had never cared about Guhan's missing-person notice. It was only today that he found out that his master was Guhan.
"No wonder he wears a mask when he goes out."
Lu Xihua muttered to himself, "Gu Xuanyuan and Gu Yun are both his younger sisters. Naturally, his surname is Gu. I'm such an idiot."
