...

The next day, at noon.

South Island Municipal Courthouse, ready interior.

"In today's trial, we are basically bystanders. What we need to deal with is the prosecutor's move. You just sit and don't speak the whole time. Can this be done?"

"No problem, I think my energy-raising skills are no worse than my two elder brothers!"

"That's fine... wait, are you the wrong partner?"

Zhang Wei gave Lin Xiangwan a slightly surprised look.

Who do you compare yourself to, but the "two stupid sons" in Mr. Lin's eyes?

"Anyway, you just have to let the 12 jurors see that you can stand still in the face of the prosecution's murder charge. Compared with a defendant who is easily influenced by emotions, the jury sees a defendant who is calm , but will make them more trustworthy.”

"If you are able to remain absolutely calm in the face of the series of prosecutions, they will think, how can such a rational person as you act impulsively to kill people, there must be something hidden in it."

"Remember the questions I asked the jury during the preliminary trial yesterday?"

Lin Xiangwan recalled it for a while.

Zhang Wei asked all kinds of questions.

A fictional evening news came out, and several people were fooled by him.

Then he said that he stole their wallets, and several people were also tricked, believing it was true and touching their pockets.

Although Zhang Wei explained a lot, Lin Xiangwan always felt that Zhang Wei was so unreliable.

She is also a businessman, and is a successful businessman who knows a lot about business.

Compared with people like Zhang Wei who don't follow the rules, she prefers to deal with people who are more "sincere".

But this time in the court, the more honest people were the opponents this time, Lu Zhengting and Lu Wenwen's father and daughter.

"Well, I remember your question..."

After thinking for a long time, Lin Xiangwan replied like this.

"That's good. Relying on these questions, I found six jurors who are easy to change their positions. You can regard them as the jury belonging to our defense."

"Similarly, I can only eliminate 6 people, but Lu Gaojian also recruited 6 jurors who believe you are the murderer and have a relatively strong will. You can regard them as the jury of the prosecution."

As Zhang Wei said, he stretched out a finger on each of his left and right hands and gestured: "If you want to say that our only advantage in court is the 12-person jury system in the criminal court."

"Murder is different from other criminal crimes. If you want to be convicted of second-degree murder, all 12 jurors need to vote 1 guilty. On the contrary, as long as we don't let all 12 jurors think you are guilty, the case will be fine. Can win!"

Lin Xiangwan nodded, she knew this too.

After all, the Lin family has Jincheng Law Firm, and she has been familiar with some court trials and cases, so she naturally knows this.

"That's fine, let's go to court, you just need to remember that the 'prosecution jury' doesn't matter, but we must let the 'defense jury' be on our side."

While communicating, the two walked out of the preparation room and came to the court.

On the prosecutor's seat, Lu Wenwen and her assistant Wei Min had already arrived.

After seeing Zhang Wei appear, Lu Wenwen nodded to him.

"Very confident, actually greeted the opponent, which shows that he is very confident!"

In a courtroom confrontation, if it is the disadvantaged party, it will not be so polite, usually with a cold face or a sullen face.

Only when you feel that you have an advantage, will you talk about etiquette. There is a professional vocabulary for this kind of behavior, which is called the mercy of the strong.

Obviously, Lu Wenwen felt that she was on the advantage side.

Zhang Wei comforted Lin Xiangwan a few more words to make him calm down.

Similarly, after Lu Wenwen greeted Zhang Wei, she also said a few words to Wei Min.

A few minutes later, it was time for court.

"Stand up, please respect Judge Lu to enter!"

Following the court guard's announcement, Lu Zhengting, wearing a legal robe, walked into the court.

He gestured around, nodded with both the prosecution and the defense, and made eye contact for a moment.

After looking around, Lu Zhengting found that many people came from the media today.

Similarly, in the front row of the hearing, many acquaintances in the judicial system also came to observe.

The pressure is huge!

He sighed softly in his heart, waved his hands and said, "Everyone sit down!"

All seated.

"The court now announces that Lin Xiangwan is involved in the murder of her husband Jia Shiqing, and is now entering the stage of public prosecution!"

"Please prepare for the prosecution and make an opening statement!"

"Thank you, Judge!"

Lu Wenwen got up, bowed to the trial seat, and then walked to the court.

"Ahem, before the trial begins, I would like to say that the crime of murder is different from other criminal offenses. It is a very, very strict charge. I can briefly explain how strict it is."

"For general criminal offenses, if the defendant is to be convicted, only 10-11 of the 12 jurors need to vote, and the defendant will be found guilty."

"But for the murder charge, all 12 jurors must vote guilty. Even if there is one less vote, the charge will not be established!"

When Lu Wenwen said this, she glanced at the defense chair, and her eyes lingered on Zhang Wei for a moment.

"So I would like to ask everyone on the jury to keep their eyes open, to see every scene of this trial, every moment, to see the woman sitting in the dock clearly, to see her clearly!"

"Next, our prosecution will reveal her true face step by step. When we prove that she is a murderer and a cold-blooded murderer, please don't hesitate, don't be kind, and don't be deceived by the defense's rhetoric. Decisively cast a guilty vote!"

"I know that some of you are easily led by the defense. In the defense's every line of defense, I believe that her client is a weak woman. From the other party's mouth, the deceased Jia Shiqing may be a perpetrator, a person who wants to The villain who threatened his client, anyway, puts all the blame on a dead person, and the other party can't stand up and defend himself."

"At this moment, if you have even a little sympathy for the murderer, the defense's goal will be achieved!"

"So I want to remind everyone to be careful of the defense's methods, keep your eyes open, and don't be fooled by these rhetoric, and don't be misled by the defense's methods of evading responsibility. Law and justice need the help of your 12 jurors to implement in the end!"

Lu Wenwen's speech was impassioned, and even blocked some of Zhang Wei's tricks.

"Why do I feel that this trick seems to have been seen somewhere?"

Looking at the move of using the opening statement to block his follow-up actions, Zhang Wei actually felt a sense of deja vu.

Lan Zhengye!

Suddenly, a name flashed through his mind.

The same moves, almost similar opening remarks, isn't it just the method of Lan Gaojian from the Eastern Capital!

After Lu Wenwen finished speaking, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Brother Lan's revenge, I, the junior sister, will avenge it!

After the pre-trial yesterday, they had a few hours of phone calls. Lu Wenwen could say that she had gone through the details of Lan Zhengye and Zhang Wei's match several times.

Now is the time for this call to play a role.

"The prosecution summoned the first witness, Dr. Wei from the Forensic Office of the Criminal Investigation Division. He was the one who examined Jia Shiqing's body!"

Summoned by Lu Wenwen, a man in formal attire walked up to the court.

This is a male forensic doctor. His complexion is a little pale, his eyes are slightly dull, and his whole person gives off a gloomy feeling.

This can't be helped, most forensic doctors are like this.

People who deal with the dead every day, it's strange if they can be energetic.

"Hello, Dr. Wei, I know you are an expert in forensic pathology and the coroner in this case. Could you please recount Jia Shiqing's cause of death?"

"sure!"

Dr. Wei didn't think too much, and said in a flat tone: "Jia Shiqing's brain was hit hard, and the hit surface was in a semicircular shape, causing intracranial hemorrhage, motor sign disturbance, concussion, fainting and other adverse reactions..."

"His body lost his balance under the heavy blow and fell into the sea. His fainting made his consciousness unable to control his limbs for a short period of time, and he was unable to call for help or save himself in the water. In the end, his lungs inhaled a large amount of seawater, and he died of suffocation... ..."

After Lu Wenwen heard this, she nodded and gestured to Wei Min at the prosecution seat.

The latter immediately began to play the slideshow, and a picture of a fire extinguisher appeared on the projection screen behind the witness stand.

"Doctor Wei, may I ask if the murder weapon that attacked the deceased was this thing?"

"Yes, we found Jia Shiqing's brain tissue cells, DNA, and blood stains on the surface of the fire extinguisher. The severe blow broke his head on the spot!"

"So, what else did you find on the fire extinguisher?"

"We also found the fingerprints of defendant Lin Xiangwan!"

As Dr. Wei spoke, he raised his finger to Lin Xiangwan who was on the defense bench.

Although this is something that everyone knows, when someone said it in court, it still caused quite a commotion.

Among the 12 jurors, the jurors for the defense that Zhang Wei believed had varying degrees of reaction.

On the contrary, it was Lu Wenwen's chosen juror for the prosecution, who seemed to be unmoved with an expression of godliness.

Seeing this, Zhang Wei had expected it.

"Are witnesses to deepen the jury's impression? If my guess is correct, the next witness should be an officer from the investigation department, right?"

He didn't even need to guess, he knew Lu Wenwen's tricks.

"Thank you Dr. Wei for testifying in court. We have one last question. When the deceased Jia Shiqing died, was he in pain?"

"certainly!"

Doctor Wei thought for a while and said: "Although the heavy blow made him faint temporarily, when he fell into the water, the water would continue to flow into his lung cavity, and the survival instinct would stimulate his body at that time, and he would temporarily faint." He woke up under the stimulation, but because of the heavy blow to his brain, he lost his ability to coordinate and command his body. He could only watch helplessly as he gradually moved away from the sea, and finally choked to death. This is a very painful way to die! "

"Thank you for Dr. Wei's explanation. I believe the jurors will understand how much pain Jia Shiqing endured when he died, and the defendant, who was the instigator, was obviously not far away from him, and there was a lifebuoy on the yacht..."

"Objection, inflammatory speech!"

Before Lu Wenwen finished speaking, Zhang Wei stood up.

Lu Zhengting had no choice but to respond. After glancing at his daughter, he nodded and said, "The objection is valid!"

"The jury, please ignore the prosecution's final statement, and these words will not be used as the criteria for your final judgment!"

After explaining to the jury, Lu Zhengting felt that it was not safe enough, so he turned to the corner and said to the clerk, "clerk, please delete the record of the prosecution's last speech, and the court will not accept the last question!"

Lu Zhengting only looked at Zhang Wei when he saw the clerk start operating.

I am like this, you should be satisfied, right?

Zhang Wei chuckled, but was actually not satisfied.

Because the jury will not listen to your judge, they only believe what the witness Dr. Wei said just now.

They only know one thing now, Jia Shiqing's passing was very painful and not peaceful at all!

"Your Honor, the prosecution's questioning of witnesses is over."

After Lu Wenwen finished speaking, she glanced at Zhang Wei, which meant it was your turn.

"Your Honor, the defense has no questions to ask about this witness!"

Zhang Wei didn't even stand up, and waved his hand directly, indicating that he was fine.

Dr. Wei froze for a moment, but then got up and left directly.

He is also a frequent visitor to the court, and he has been a witness countless times. Since the defense does not ask questions, he knows that his task has been completed.

In fact, both Lu Wenwen and Lu Zhengting were surprised that Zhang Wei didn't ask a few questions.

Don't you see that the wind in the court is against you?

"Lawyer Zhang, why don't you ask the witness a few questions?"

Similarly, Lin Xiangwan also sensed something was wrong, she turned her face slightly, opened her lips slightly, and asked a question.

"That doctor is an old regular on the witness stand. I'm not an expert in forensic pathology. What questions can I ask?"

"Maybe when I ask a question, he is still going to trick me. Instead of taking risks, it's better to let him go down first."

"Besides, forensic doctors are only telling what happened to the deceased during their lifetime. They have their own professional ethics. As long as they don't talk about it in court, you can't catch anything."

Zhang Wei reassured him that the matter of the first witness was over.

"Your Excellency, the prosecution has summoned the second witness to appear in court. He is an officer of the Criminal Investigation Division, the Serious Crime Squad, who is in charge of investigating this case!"

Soon, the second witness appeared in court.

The person who came in this time was a man in casual clothes, in his forties, of medium build, with a calm and sophisticated face.

"Senior officer, hello!"

"Hello, prosecution!"

The two nodded to each other.

"Senior officer, you are the person in charge of the investigation department in charge of investigating this case, can you please tell me the ins and outs of the whole thing?"

"certainly!"

The senior officer didn't think too much, and immediately stated: "We received the report on the morning of the 10th. At that time, a male body was found on the beach near the largest Mingyue Port in Mingyue District!"

"After receiving the report, our team attached great importance to it and immediately dispatched personnel to block the scene. With the help of colleagues from the forensic team, we launched an investigation on the scene."

"We found that the deceased was the husband of Ms. Lin Xiangwan, a celebrity in South Island City, so we followed the procedures and found Ms. Lin for routine inquiries. As a result, we found the yacht where the crime happened and the fire extinguisher that attacked the deceased in her home."

Lu Wenwen nodded and glanced at the defense table.

"Excuse me, Senior Officer, did you obtain Ms. Lin's consent for your investigation?"

"Of course, our investigation was carried out after Ms. Lin's consent. There was a nanny at the scene, and she could also testify. Ms. Lin Xiangwan even took us to the bedroom of the deceased to investigate."

"So what was Ms. Lin's reaction after finding the fire extinguisher and the yacht?"

Officer Gao recalled it for a while and said, "She was surprised at the time, but also very scared at the same time..."

"Objection, inflammatory question!"

After realizing that the witness's answer was not good, Zhang Wei got up immediately.

"be opposed to……"

Lu Zhengting glanced at Lu Wenwen, only hesitated for a second, "The objection is valid!"

Lu Wenwen gave Zhang Wei a meaningful look, but the corners of her mouth were still slightly raised.

The defense would object, as she had expected.

Although such questions are not acceptable, she can use other methods.

"So, how did Ms. Lin respond after she saw that you found blood on the fire extinguisher and signs of struggle on the yacht?"

"She said she didn't remember anything!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Can not remember!

I do not know anything!

This sounds like a typical shirk.

Not only in the hearing seat, but even in the jury seat, there were some people who showed a clear look, as if they really thought that Lin Xiangwan was the murderer.

"Although it's helpless, what he said is actually the truth!"

Zhang Wei was also helpless, because this was Lin Xiangwan's answer.

That's what she told the other party at the time, and she didn't remember anything.

Although Zhang Wei is also surprised, after such a night, yesterday you smashed your husband's head with a fire extinguisher, and you don't remember anything the next day?

But Lin Xiangwan really didn't lie, at least Zhang Wei couldn't see the clue.

If Lin Xiangwan was really acting, then she would have already won a little gold medal.

"The defendant said he didn't remember anything?"

Lu Wenwen smiled again and continued to ask, "What did you do after that?"

"Afterwards, relying on the clues we collected, we applied to the court for a search warrant and an arrest warrant, and arrested the suspect, Ms. Lin, according to the procedures. You all know what happened after that."

"Alright, senior officer, I have one last question!"

Lu Wenwen glanced at the defense chair again, and asked quietly: "In the case of the death of a married person, what is the probability that the other spouse is the murderer?"

"More than 70%!"

This answer is equivalent to saying that if one of the husband and wife dies, the other has a high probability of being the murderer.

Even if it is not the direct murderer, it is also possible to hire a murderer.

"I have no problem!"

Lu Wenwen walked back to the prosecution's seat, Zhang Wei couldn't bear it immediately, and walked to the witness stand.

"Senior officer, I don't have as many questions as the prosecution, and I have also read the case summary of your statement, and I know that your procedures are in line with the process!"

Senior officer looked at Zhang Wei expressionlessly, but didn't answer.

"I just want to ask you a few simple questions. The first question, when you questioned my client about the blood and the murder weapon, what was her answer?"

"I told you, she said she didn't remember anything."

"Based on your years of investigation experience, did she lie?"

"this……"

Officer Gao glanced at Zhang Wei in surprise, then looked at the prosecution seat and the judge.

Seeing that none of them made a sound, I could only reply: "Her micro-expression doesn't give me the feeling that she is a liar!"

"That is to say, my client really doesn't remember anything?"

"That possibility cannot be ruled out."

"Okay, then let me ask you the second question, did you find traces of fighting on the yacht!"

"Yes."

"Then is there a possibility that the deceased Jia Shiqing attacked my client on the yacht, causing her to fight back, which resulted in the death of the former?"

"this……"

"No, the defense lawyer is leading the witness to speculate!"

Of course Lu Wenwen knew Zhang Wei's intentions, but she had reminded her at the beginning to pass the responsibility to the deceased.

So of course she won't let Zhang Wei get what she wants.
