Courtroom scene.
As Lan Zhengye made his opening statement clearly and forcefully, the direction of the courtroom naturally inclined toward the prosecution.
It was a clever stratagem of Lan Gaojian.
If they allowed witnesses to testify, then the defense would have the opportunity to cross-examine and refute the prosecution's claims.
But if the prosecutor himself made the statement, then the defense would have no chance to speak.
That's because cross-examination is only aimed at the prosecution's witnesses, not the prosecution itself.
This was the tactic Zhang Wei applied when he let Lin Yumeng take on Professor Mo during the Harper Cigar case.
Lin Yumeng's opening statement had nearly blocked all of Professor Mo's moves, but the latter could do nothing but watch helplessly.
And now, Zhang Wei found himself on the receiving end of this treatment, attacked by Lan Zhengye's opening statement, but unable to counterattack.
