Chapter 5: Simplified Information

There was no background music, and the gift package in front of me suddenly opened, revealing a disc with the inscription "Function: Simple Data (Free Rights for This Case)"

At that moment, Denton walked in holding three cups of coffee and, looking at the two who remained silent, asked in confusion: "Now that the discussion is over, can I apply to the court to dismiss this case?"

Father Harmon

The completely different legal systems of the two countries, coupled with the limited familiarity gained from American television shows, are simply insufficient to support Gu's full potential in court. Therefore, he eagerly hopes that the system can provide the memories of a Harvard Law School graduate.

A lottery like yours that does not disclose the odds of winning will eventually be banned

He has already formulated a strategy for this case in his mind, with Denton responsible for handling the criminal prosecution from the prosecution office, continuously negotiating with the opposing side, feigning weakness, and delaying Moore's final trial as much as possible

Gu Zheng looked at Mo Er with a sincere expression and said, "If I were to let you sue the priest, would you be willing to give it a try?"

In any case, even if he failed, he could try again, and fortunately, he made the right bet

This function addresses the human aspect of the information gap, allowing Gu Zheng to remain composed even if the opposing lawyer suddenly calls a witness, ensuring that he is well-prepared and not thrown off balance by the other party's actions

It indeed sounds quite simple, but getting Father Harmon to admit it in person is not so easy

However, Gu Zheng urgently needed him to cooperate with his work. After asking for a long time, he only managed to get one name. He needed to win this case to pressure the prosecution to withdraw the charges against Mo Er. This was a race against time

At that moment, Gu Zheng discovered that there was a line of introduction on the right side of the photo, and the last sentence on it caught his attention

While Gu Zheng was still puzzled about whether this feature was useful, a user interface had already appeared on the panel in front of him, resembling a personal page on social networks such as Weibo or Facebook

Secondly, this quantity is too small; it is not something that is difficult to obtain. Forty-five grams is not even enough for a day for an addict, let alone for selling!

A hint of disdain appeared at the corner of Mo Er's mouth

Mo Er looked at Gu Zheng with a cold expression and said in a cold voice: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I have no money to give you"

Gu Zheng looked completely bewildered; this was not what he had envisioned as a product of the library system. How could it sound so lowbrow!

Disadvantage: The priest's testimony mentioned that the party involved had attempted to sell to him, which led to the realization of the possibility of relapse. The likelihood of the testimony being accepted by the judge is high

Gu Zheng secretly rejoiced, as it seemed he had indeed found the right direction

The lower part consists of small boxes, each containing information left by Father Harmon on the internet. There is a wealth of information displayed on public social platforms, which can even be browsed item by item, while some closed websites are shrouded in darkness, offering nothing but the URL.

After finishing reading Mohr, Gu Zheng slowly said: "First, I believe you cannot be foolish enough to try to sell it to your priest"

Gu sighed inwardly, realizing that he still had not gained Moer's trust. However, it was of no concern; at least Moer was willing to let him take action, which was the best beginning.

It is truly delightful

The war between the lawyers of both sides in a defense is primarily fought with the weapon of information asymmetry

In the upper left corner is a photograph, with very clear quality, featuring a Caucasian man in his thirties, who appears kind and amiable, giving a sense of approachability

Gu Zheng felt somewhat disappointed, as it seemed that the system was not omnipotent. Information related to books could be easily retrieved, but there might be more obscure information that required advanced features.

Gu Zheng instantly changed his mind

After all, once acknowledged, Father Harmon has at least committed three types of criminal offenses: perjury, false accusation, and illegal possession of narcotics. The cumulative effect of these offenses would not be less than the fifteen years faced by Moore

... ...

In a window similar to a search engine, Gu Zheng entered this name

From this perspective, this feature can be considered a significant powerful function

Accompanied by his inner doubts, a line of text appeared before his eyes: "Basic Information: One of the fundamental functions, capable of obtaining publicly disclosed information related to the parties involved in the case, including but not limited to judges, lawyers for both sides, witnesses, and jury members"

Denton, who failed to keep up with the rhythm, looked utterly bewildered

Mercy

The amount of marijuana discovered during the search was only 45 grams, which is just below the 50 grams required for a third-degree offense, resulting in a penalty of five years. A second-degree offense carries a sentence of 15 to 20 years, with an aim for 15 years. Fortunately, it is not a first-degree offense that would result in life imprisonment

No need

Therefore, this person is attempting to frame you for imprisonment, yet is unwilling to subject you to lifelong confinement. After fifteen years, you would be at most in your forties; if you behave well, you could be released in your thirties, which aligns well with the compassionate nature of a priest

This is why some judges do not enforce the submission of evidence, excessively delaying the timeline for evidence submission, or using a plethora of irrelevant materials to obscure the most critical point within their evidence.

Subsequently, Moore was unwilling to speak further, clearly having resigned himself to the situation. On one side was the beloved priest of the neighborhood, and on the other was the notorious delinquent of the area. The credibility of their testimonies was not even on the same level.

Another reason is that the system has a beginner's gift pack waiting for him to unpack

There is no need for Gu Zheng to worry about matters in court for the time being; even if he has changed countries, he still possesses considerable confidence.

He is responsible for assisting Moore in suing Father Harmon, which is the main battleground

Gu Zheng shook his head: "It does not matter, you will be able to clear your name, and justice will be served on that day; that is my greatest gain"

Gu Zheng and Denton parted ways in front of the Sixty-Ninth Precinct

As long as he invites a large number of neighborhood residents to participate in the trial in a public court and has Father Harmon personally admit to framing Moore

Under the righteous words of Gu Zheng from m.hetushu.com, Mo Er's expression changed slightly, yet he still did not say anything more, maintaining a demeanor of indifference.

Gu Zheng shook his head, revealing a hint of a smile, "You are responsible for dealing with the prosecution from the procuratorate, while I will take charge of prosecuting Father Moore"

What?

Gu Zheng did not draw the most scarce legal knowledge and expressed his frustration with a hint of sarcasm

Gu Zheng left so early, partly due to this reason

The most fatal aspect is Moore's lack of cooperation; it is evident that he has been betrayed by the revered priest, and he is currently in a state of mental decline, likely even beginning to doubt his faith

Therefore, as long as the prosecutor's office is not foolish, it will abandon the prosecution against Moore, and the residents of the neighborhood will also believe that Moore is innocent, thus completing the task

However, ... for this case, it really does not have much effect

... ...

After washing his hands, Gu Zheng looked at the system panel with a devout expression, extended his hand, and finally murmured: "Fujian roasted rat"

Subsequently, he directly entered the functional interface and discovered that in a vast expanse of darkness, only the second option, 'Simple Data', was illuminated and available for use, while all other functions could not be activated, indicating that they would evidently need to be unlocked later through a lottery-like mechanism

Time is limited, and he can only dare to try boldly
