The legal police officer faced the audience and made a silencing gesture.

Everyone was still whispering among themselves, but immediately fell silent upon seeing this.

In the corner, four wide-angle cameras automatically opened and started recording.

In front of the Law School, many media, fans and people who did not get seats still did not disperse, but gathered together to watch the live broadcast on the Law School's electronic big screen.

At the same time, tens of millions of netizens turned on their computers or mobile phones to watch this heated civil lawsuit.

The front door of the court opened, and the second-instance attorney, judge, people's judge, assistant attorney, clerk, stenographer and others filed in.

This lineup is much stronger than in the first trial.

Obviously, these two cases had a great social impact. In addition, Fang Wenfei applied for a public trial after appealing. The Law Court also attached great importance to the second trial.

After the lawyer and others entered the trial seat and related seats, they did not sit down, but stood together.

The clerk said loudly: "Please all stand up."

Everyone stood up.

The clerk announced the court rules and precautions, and then asked everyone to sit down.

Next, the clerk opened the case file and checked the identities of the plaintiff and defendant respectively. After confirming that they were correct, he said to the lawyer: "Report to the presiding judge, Civil Litigation Case No. 1024, the plaintiff, defendant, and attorneys of both parties are all present in court.

, the pretrial preparations are in place and the report is completed!"

The lawyer nodded: "I announce that the second trial of Civil Litigation Case No. 1024 will now begin."

After saying that, he picked up the gavel and knocked it hard.

The court was completely quiet, except for the slight buzzing of the camera from time to time.

The lawyer said: "Now the legal court investigation phase begins. Plaintiff, please state the content of the lawsuit in detail."

Meng Liqun stood up: "Yes, distinguished presiding judge, judges, and leaders, on behalf of the plaintiff, Mr. Gao Pingfeng, I accuse Ms. Fang Wenfei of stealing the song "Immortality" composed by Mr. Gao Pingfeng..." He repeated what he said during the first trial.

once.

The lawyer said: "Defendant, please defend the plaintiff's complaint."

Ren Chaoyu stood up: "Presiding judge, ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of my client, Ms. Fang Wenfei, I would like to express my opinion on the plaintiff's lawsuit that this is completely a false accusation."

""Eternal Life" is a musical work created by Ms. Fang Wenfei alone. After copyright registration, she owns all copyrights recognized by law."

"As for the original manuscript of "Eternal Life" submitted by the plaintiff during the first instance of this case, we suspected that the plaintiff had falsified it, and questioned the professional appraisers at the time for their lack of professional skills and identification errors, so we applied for re-appraisal."

"In addition, we have formally filed a counterclaim against the plaintiff Gao Pingfeng for falsely accusing my client, Ms. Fang Wenfei, and the requirements are as follows: 1. The plaintiff, Mr. Gao Pingfeng, must publicly apologize to Ms. Fang Wenfei; 2. Compensate Ms. Fang Wenfei for 10 million in damages to her reputation.

Yuan; 3. Compensate for all commercial losses and indirect losses caused by the legal court prohibiting Ms. Fang Wenfei from singing "Eternal Life"; 4. Bear criminal liability for the crime of false accusation and frame-up."

"Presiding judge, my statement is finished."

Ren Chaoyu sat down.

"Wow, this female lawyer is so sharp."

"Yes, not only is it brief and powerful, but the four demands of the counterclaim are directed at the plaintiff's four demands. They are completely reciprocal counterattacks."

There was a sudden commotion in the audience seats, and many people whispered.

Lu Youwei narrowed his eyes, looked at Ren Chaoyu, and asked in a low voice: "Lawyer Qin, do you know this woman?"

Qin Hanlin, as the attorney for the second lawsuit, was sitting on his right. He shook his head when he heard this: "I don't know him."

Lu Youwei said: "Have you never heard of the law firm where she works?"

Qin Hanlin said: "No, I just checked on the Internet. This lawyer Ren is not a local lawyer in Zhongping. Her law firm is registered in Kyoto."

Lu Youwei said oh.

Qin Hanlin added: "But this lawyer Ren is very powerful."

Lu Youwei said: "How can you see it?"

Qin Hanlin said: "Her defense statement was not false at all. She went straight to the point and pointed out that the original manuscript may be suspected of fraud. The appraiser's professional ability was insufficient and she applied for re-appraisal. This is the most critical part of the second trial's judgment."

Lu Youwei sneered: "She is smart and knows how to apply for re-appraisal of the manuscript. No problem. I want to see who in Zhongping City can authenticate it?"

Gao Pingfeng's creative manuscript was indeed written in blue ink. This method of forgery was discovered by Lu Youwei through foreign contacts, including the blue ink, which he also smuggled in illegally.

Only a few people including him and Yang Lu knew about this matter.

Moreover, after forging the manuscript, Lu Youwei asked experts from the Cultural Relics Association in Zhongping City to have a look at it in advance. No one, including Lin Peng, saw that it was fake.

That's why Lu Youwei felt confident and bold enough to let Gao Pingfeng sue Fang Wenfei, and secretly offered benefits and hired Lin Peng as a professional appraiser.

Lin Peng was kept in the dark, so he was naturally very happy to see that he could receive benefits without having to make false appraisals against his will.

Qin Hanlin said nothing.

He vaguely guessed that the manuscript was forged by Lu Youwei, but firstly there was no evidence, and secondly the matter had nothing to do with him. Even if he sympathized with Fang Wenfei, he could only remain silent.

"quiet!"

The lawyer picked up the gavel and struck it hard.

The court fell silent.

The lawyer said: "Plaintiff, what do you think about the defendant's defense?"

Meng Liqun stood up: "President, during the first instance of this case, Professor Lin Peng, who was responsible for appraising the original manuscript, was the vice president of the Zhongping City Cultural Relics Association. He has the national second-level cultural relics appraiser qualification and has done a lot for grassroots law courts such as Zhanan District.

There was not a single mistake in the appraisal of this case. He is a professional appraiser recognized by the Zhanan District Law Court and is authoritative."

"The defendant does not understand the field of appraisal and has no professional ability, but it is very ridiculous to question Professor Lin Peng's wrong appraisal results for no reason."

“We reject the defendant’s request for re-evaluation of the manuscript and ask the court to uphold the original verdict.”

"My statement is complete."

The lawyer said: "Defendant, what do you think about the plaintiff's supplement?"

Ren Chaoyu said: "President, our country's laws stipulate that the second instance of all cases is the final instance to avoid mistakes in the first instance that cannot be remedied."

"The facts of this case are very simple. The key lies in whether the writing time of the creative manuscript submitted by the plaintiff is earlier than the time when Ms. Fang Wenfei sang "Eternal Life" for the first time. It can be said that the appraisal results of the professionals will determine the verdict of this case."

"We do not understand the appraisal profession, but we cannot be deprived of our right to question just because we do not understand.

If you can’t apply for re-identification, then what’s the point of the second trial?”

"So we believe that the plaintiff's rejection of our request for re-authentication of the manuscript is unreasonable and illegal. We emphasize that it must be re-authenticated and the last appraisal result shall prevail."
