Chapter 221: Just a little more.
The first day of November had been set as the day of the first hearing in court. Everyone was looking forward to it.
By the 29th of October, Lanni and Xiehan had managed to find the ’perfume bottle’ USB drive and got someone to verify that its content was original and had not undergone any changes. They showed it to everyone at the dining table that night.
The content was several videos, including confessions from servants in Xia Hanchen’s home. Some of them revealed that they had witnessed Li Xiyan’s violent behavior and that it was she who had started the fight between her and Xia Luna. There was also video evidence to prove this. One of the maids was on her way to the kitchen when she heard a vicious argument and had recorded it for the sake of gossip.
However, she had not expected it to escalate to the point of near-murder. She had fled soon after it happened to avoid being caught in the middle of such a scuffle. After Paul investigated everyone that was in that scene at the time and found out that some servants had left, he looked for them and spoke to them. That was how he found out that the maid had the video. He got it from her as well as her verbal statement. That was some of the content of the USB drive and he was going to help Luna present it to the court.
"Just in time. We should make a copy of it and send it to the lawyer too." Li Yuming suggested when she saw it. These kinds of meetings had been common lately; Madam Jiang would come over with her son and so would Xiehan. They would have things to discuss and even if it was not related to Luna’s case, they would still have meals and drinks together.
"Yuming is right. He is a reputable lawyer, but there is no such thing as too much caution. We should still give him a copy and keep the original, in case it gets lost." Madam Jiang seconded. She and Li Yuming had grown quite close lately.
"I will also save another copy on cloud," Lanni suggested, and they all burst into laughter at how cautious they were being.
"Enough about that. Now that we are able to prove that Li Xiyan is the one who attacked Luna first, how about the current case?" Lanni asked.
"Mrs. Paul refused to confess that she had lied to the police. She still insists that her late husband told Luna that he had found her guilty."
