If Zhongli Wuzhi could guess all the ingredients in the drug used on Lu Xiaoer that night, then what about himself?
That night at the hot spring hotel... the inspection departnt didn’t detect any sedatives, but Zhongli Wuzhi’s condition indeed seed as if he had been drugged.
A distinctive product of Country M, the scope had already been narrowed down this much.
Couldn’t Zhongli Wuzhi detect that Princess Chinian of Country M had also employed so despicable thods?
Song Lili looked at Zhongli Wuzhi on the witness stand and unconsciously glanced at Wen Nian sitting beside her.
Wen Nian noticed her gaze, turned his head to et her eyes,
"What’s wrong?"
"...Nothing."
Even if there were doubts and speculations in her mind, this was ultimately not the place to voice them.
The trial continued.
The vaporizing aphrodisiac that Zhongli Wuzhi had proposed was, after all, just a possibility. Since it vaporized, it ant there was no evidence left.
"Mr. Zhongli, according to what you’re saying, just because such a thing exists in this world, does it an my client must have used it? Isn’t that a bit far-fetched?"
"Not far-fetched."
Lawyer Fu took over the conversation and then had the staff bring up the evidence,
"This is from last week, after Mr. Zhongli’s reminder, I requested a search of Mr. Song Jing’s ho for evidence, which was found with a notary from the court present."
The evidence presented by the staff was a tube of drugs.
The drug was only half the length of a pinky finger and held about 3ml.
"This is a type of sedative from Country M. Just this tube, whether sprayed in the air, on fresh flowers, beds, or tables, as long as the victim slls it in a relatively enclosed space, the drug will take effect within half an hour to forty minutes."
"Because it acts quickly and evaporates easily in the air, once a window or door is opened, the evidence dissipates. When inhaled into the body, it’s also easily tabolized and difficult to detect through blood tests."
With Lawyer Fu presenting this crucial piece of evidence in court,
the proceedings took a turn.
"Finding it doesn’t an my client used it."
"Defense attorney, whether or not the client used it will be determined by a fair judge and an experienced jury."
Lawyer Fu said calmly.
The judge rapped the table, signaling for quiet,
"Defense attorney, defendant, do you have any further defense or statents to make?"
After conferring quietly with his lawyer, it was Song Jing who stood up. He took a deep breath, his gaze briefly sweeping over Zhongli Wuzhi and then across to Lu Xiaoer sitting opposite,
"I am thirty-three years old this year, forrly the head of surgery at Anlin Hospital. I ask everyone present, how many young doctors could advance to the position of head of surgery at just thirty-three?"
"..."
"I do like Lu Xiaoer, that’s right. Ever since she joined our hospital, I felt an attraction to her. But just for that, Mr. Zhongli Wuzhi wants to teach a lesson for getting close to his girlfriend and thus... injured the hand I use for surgery. Since then, I have never had the chance to stand at an operating table again."
Zhongli Wuzhi’s eyes were calm, Lu Xiaoer clenched her fist, and the people in the spectator bench held their breath and listened intently.
"Of course, not being a surgeon, I could engage in other dical-related work. I could let it go, but what I didn’t expect was... Lu Xiaoer, on the surface, was angry for , indignant for , but behind my back, she got all dressed up to reconcile with Zhongli Wuzhi."
"I think, whoever it would be, couldn’t stand it!"
