Medalist Lawyer Heirs

Episode 14

While I was eating with Lawyer Zhong

he told me a story about Lincoln solving a problem.

Lincoln asked the witness, he asked "It was midnight

how could you clearly see the Defendant's face?"

The witness said, "The moonlight was very bright."

"It was shining on the Defendant's face."

So he could clearly see the criminal's face

After analyzing the testimony, Lincoln

determined the witness was lying.

This testimony is fake and made up. Do you know...

Why did Lincoln have this conclusion?

Because, that night didn't have moonlight?

It rained.

Your reasoning is right, your answer is wrong

I really don't know.

Lincoln's thought was

It was first quarter moon on October 18th.

By 11 o'clock at night, the moon has already set. There's no way there was moonlight.

Then there was no way the witness saw the Defendant's face.

Then the witness could chance his testimony.

He (could) said he remembered the time wrong and it was a few hours earlier.

The moon hadn't gone down yet, therefore there was moonlight.

Right, Lincoln's opponent also said this.

Lincoln said, that night

even if the moon was in the sky

you still wouldn't have been able to see the Defendant.

Why?

Let's say the witness remember the time wrong.

And move the time of crime a few hours ahead. The moon would still be on the west side.

The moon would be shining from the west.

If it shine on the defendant's face,

then the defendant's face is facing west.

Witness was standing more than 20 meters behind the Defendant

he wouldn't have been able to see the face.

If the Defendant had been facing the witness

Then the moon on the west side can only shine on the back of defendant's head.

The witness would not be able to see clearly

defendant's face who stood over 20 meter away.

So the witness couldn't possibly have seen if the criminal was the Defendant or

or someone else.

Wow. Brilliant!

Not just the analyzation

but also astronomy and and physical knowledge

Lincoln was really a big shot.

So, while you are analyzing this case

you must use all types of knowledge.

Sometimes just legal knowledge isn't enough.

I've heard about this story before.

But here we

only have brilliant sunlight, we don't have moonlight.

Is there sunshine in Sydney in August?

Let's look if we don't know.

Oh, right right right.

Witness

This is the photograph you gave to the court last time

From what you said.

On August 7th of this year, you took this picture in Australia.

This is after all the shareholders finished the meeting

and taken outside the house on the grass, right?

Yes.

I see everyone is wearing t-shirts

or short sleeves shirt.

Was it hot that day?

Umm, yes. I think it was.

Really?

Then how is it I searched

and that day's temperature was from 8 to 12 degrees (46 to 53 degrees Fahrenheit)

May I ask, is that cold or hot?

Hold on

It says the temperature is

2 to 8 celsius!

Even if there was sun, it would be very cold.

How could they be wearing short sleeves?

And taking picture outside?

Australia is in the southern hemisphere. Their seasons are the opposite of ours.

When we are having summer, they are having winter.

Judge.

There is no evidence on the temperature in Sydney that day.

I oppose defendant asking presupposition question.

What was the temperature August 7th in Sydney?

If you searched, you would know.

Witness

Please answer my question.

I don't know. I thought it was very hot.

Right, you're young. You health is fine.

Then, the rest of the shareholders?

I know that your father, Mr. Yao MeiShan, has asthma.

Would he wear a t-shirt in that kind of weather and take pictures?

8 degrees (46 degrees) isn't that cold.

Okay.

Second question,

Is Christmas in Australia in summer or winter.

Definitely in summer.

Since the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere's seasons are opposite.

Your Christmas is in winter, ours is in summer.

You're right. Let's put up the picture and take a look.

So it's impossible for August in Australia to be summer.

This looks just like Santa Claus.

Also here.

Yes, the season is the opposite.

Christmas

So this photo definitely wasn't taken in August,

it had to be taken around Christmas.

That is right. Those people are lying.

You're amazing! You found this out! You're amazing!!

Thank you.

No problem, no problem.

Witness,

Do you see this person? Who is he?

Santa Claus.

Then the lights along both side of the roads are...

It's Christmas lights.

Ah.

Judge,

So at this point it should be sometime around Christmas.

But you said just said that it was taken August 7th.

Then

it can be said that Australia celebrates Christmas in August?

With this information, in December two years ago

because you applied for investment immigration, so all of your share holders

went to Australia.

Even better, it was Christmas season.

It's also this place's summer.

If I haven't made a mistake,

this was taken two years ago in December

and not August 7th of this year, right?

Mr. Xie Fei in June of this month,

donated some supplies and clothing.

In the item list, there was Mr. Xie Fei

was the Armani shirt that is in the picture.

Then, I want to ask, how is it that this August 7th

he could wear it and take this picture?

Witness,

I want to advise you, this is a court of law.

You are a witness.

You are legal responsible.

Also, it's possible you could go to jail.

Go to jail?

I want to ask one more time,

when was this picture taken?

De...

Last Christmas.

Then what about the share holder meeting?

was it this August 7th?

No. This year, everyone went to Sydney

in August in order to celebrate Teng Chen Corp invested a local mine company.

we didn't have a meeting.

So when was it signed?

It was 3 days after Brother-in-law Xie died.

They all signed and waited for me to come from Sydney.

Who made you sign?

It was Brother-in-law Xie.

It was Mr. Xie Feng?

Yes.

Then Xie Fei had already died,

then how did he sign the paper?

I heard Brother-in-law Xie say

he has several empty paper my older uncle already signed.

So, it should be him.

Thank you.

The aura he gave out when he was standing in the court

are much better than me in my younger days.

For sure. A capable young man from a distinguished family.

He has inherited my genes.

Ke Ming

When do you plan on telling him?

This needs to take one's time making a decision. (idiom -- to consider at length.)

In any case, my business has a son to take over now.

I am happy now.

Zheng Hao

I know who helped you behind the scenes, it was Zhong Ke Ming right?

Your plaintiff side has evidence with flaw. No one can turn fault into truth, right?

Zheng Hao

Don't celebrate too early!

Why shouldn't we be celebrating? We won the case.

Ok. See what you guys will say to Xue Han Zhi when you go back.

Is Director Xue in? - Yes, he is at the conference room.

Director Xue

What does this mean?

Director Xue,

Thank you for the many years of care and promotion.

but out points of view are different.

So, I've decided to leave.

This is my resignation.

ZhenG Hao, sit down.

No need.

I know. You are in the prime of youth and want to win cases.

There is nothing wrong with that. But...

Sometimes, things aren't as simple as you think.

Look, you've been a lawyer for 3 years

What you have learned from the law school.

they are all things on the surface, what is needed in the real world?
