Chapter 221:

Now that there is a conflict between subjective views and objective evidence, Cao Yun does not dare to bet. In case Xu's father was really wronged, and he helped Sima Luo win the case, Xu's father's unjust death and Cao Yun have an inevitable causal relationship. Shangguan Wen didn't want to mess with this, and Cao Yun didn't want to mess with it either. On the contrary, it shows that they are lawyers with a certain conscience, and Shangguanwen is worried that indulging Xu's father will lead to the death of innocent people. Cao Yun was worried about killing Xu's father, who was wronged.

Seeing Cao Yun's attitude, Shangguan Wen could only smile helplessly: "I'm throwing myself into the net, I'm sorry, it's hard for Brother Cao." ”

Cao Yun was polite: "I can't help, I'm sorry." ”

Preparing to send off the guests, the phone rang, Cao Yun answered the phone, hung up the phone, and said to Shangguanwen: "The trial is canceled in the afternoon." ”

Shangguan Wen asked, "What is the reason?"

Cao Yun said: "Wang Xia's wife asked to attend, and since Xu Na can sit on the defense seat, she asks to sit on the prosecution seat." ”

Shangguan Wen thought thoughtfully: "It seems that we underestimated Sima Luo, at least he discovered Xu Na's role." ”

Cao Yun said: "There is a lively look. ”

……

Sima Luo was connected through the Flame Court with Wang Xia's wife, a temporary handyman at a rural primary school, who ran a fish soup shop in the city, and she stayed in the village to take care of the elderly and children. Wang Xia and his wife are only children, and they have to bear the daily expenses of four parents, one grandparent, and two children, which is one of the reasons why Wang Xia is diligent and thrifty in opening a store, and would rather live in the store than rent a house outside.

On the phone, Wang Xia's wife didn't listen to Sima Luo's words, so she took the initiative to ask to attend, she said that she was too bitter, and she was originally bitter, but the fish soup shop had a good business, and there was still hope for life. Now she lives purely for the sake of living, and she can't support eight people, including herself, alone.

The Flame Court arranged for someone to pick up Wang Xia's wife, and Wang Xia's wife's information was sent to the computers of the participants in the trial. Cao Yun sighed after reading it, who would dare to compare with the king's wife? As soon as Sima Luo made this move, the defense party who was at least forced did not dare to take the initiative to play the emotional card. Xu Na's role in attendance is so wasted.

Regardless of winning or losing in the end, Sima Luo pulled the royal wife up, which is equivalent to saving the whole family of the royal wife, and after this case, the quality of life of the royal wife's family will definitely improve. Crying children have milk to eat, and it is sometimes better to sue than to coax.

On the other hand, because there is no one in the eyes of the Flame Court in this trial, the police have locked down the location of the Flame Court. It is located on the Oriental Peninsula, which is more than 100 kilometers away from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and is also the independent kingdom of the richest man, Dongfang.

What to do next? The police are not sure what to do. They couldn't pinpoint the location of the Flame Court. In order to capture the Flame Leader, the operation must be kept secret, and naturally it is impossible to negotiate with the people of the Eastern Peninsula. Because you don't know if the security guards of the island gang are the eyes and ears of the Flame Court, or even whether Dongfang is the main member of the Flame Court, there is still a question mark.

Coupled with the large size of the Eastern Peninsula, a surprise attack was unrealistic. It is also unrealistic to encircle, because a large number of police forces must be mobilized, a large number of coast guards must be mobilized, and as long as they move, they will inevitably be detected by the Flame Court.

Li Mo: "The only way is to infiltrate, send a team of two to five people to infiltrate the Eastern Peninsula and find the Flame Court. Once you lock on to the precise location, it's a thunderous blow. ”

Detective: "Section Chief, the Eastern Peninsula is very large, and it is necessary not to alarm the people on the island, so it will definitely be difficult to move. It takes a lot of time, and it can take four or five days. ”

Another agent said: "Normally, as long as the jury disagrees, it can't close the case. The jury has our undercover agents and will certainly disagree. However, the longer the operation drags on, the more likely it is that our undercover agents will be exposed. ”

Yue Sanchi said: "You can circle a few locations, the first location, the south wharf, this is the only wharf on the peninsula, there are two sub-wharves, two kilometers away." One of the marinas is the mooring of the Orient Yacht and the place where guests land on the dock by sea. One is a temporary marine terminal, and a small airport is being built on the island, and many materials are transported by sea. The second location: a small airfield under construction, between Oriental Hills and South Wharf. The third location is the Oriental Villa, which is built on the mountain, and a large area of the mountain is the territory of the villa, with a lot of staff and relatively high security standards. If you want to infiltrate Oriental Villa, you must have an internal response, and you must have an identity. Even if you have an identity, you can't get to the core of Oriental Villa. ”

Yue Sanchi said: "But because of this, it is unlikely that the Flame Court is hiding in the Eastern Mountain Villa. The last site is the Twin Mountains on the Eastern Peninsula, which is more than 200 meters above sea level, and the northwest side of the Twin Mountains is a garbage transfer site, where garbage made in the peninsula is delivered every day and transferred to the outside by garbage trucks. To the northeast is a small thermal power plant, which is an auxiliary power plant on the peninsula. The north side of the Twin Mountains is only five kilometers away from the Oriental Villa. Personally, I'm biased towards the Twin Mountains. ”

Li Mo said: "Twin Mountains are equivalent to inland, and once surrounded, it is difficult for suspects to escape. ”

Yue Sanchi said: "Four locations, start the investigation from the most suspicious location, and shorten the investigation time as much as possible." My personal recommendation order is: Twin Mountains, Marina, Small Airport, Oriental Hills. ”

Li Mo said: "Three feet, do you want to do it yourself?"

Yue Sanchi said: "I decided to meet the East and meet the legendary richest man." ”

……

At 8 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Xu's father's case was heard for the second time.

Before the trial, the waiter negotiated on behalf of the court, and Xu Na and Wang's wife both retired to the hearing table and did not attend for the time being. In the end, there were three people sitting on the bench, Xu Na sat on the far left, Wang Wife on the far right, and Cao Yun sat in the middle.

After the trial, Sima Luo began to consolidate the testimony of witnesses, first the testimony of the commissary owner. The owner of the commissary saw not only the tricycle, but also the foam box on the tricycle. Selling fish is indispensable to the foam box, as soon as the oxygen is put into the foam box, water is added to it, and the fish can be kept alive. Sima Luo believes that the tricycle must be a tricycle used to sell vegetables and fish. Wang's fish soup only operates a fish soup business, so it is very likely that it is Xu's father.

Guo Xiaotian agreed, but he also asked Sima Luo to admit that although the testimony of the two witnesses had some credibility, he did not rule out the possibility of error. Sima Luo did not admit it, because once it was admitted, the witness became reference evidence. Finally, an hour after the two sides exchanged the same issue, Judge No. 1 called the trial argument to stop: "You have said everything you should have said, the jury heard it clearly, and the jury decides everything." ”

There is no point in wasting more than an hour, and the scene is very lively, and the two sides are arguing with each other. From Cao Yun's insiders' point of view, it doesn't make any sense. It's like two women on the street insulting each other, it's wonderful, but it's hard for onlookers to tell who's right from their name-calling.

This kind of situation, which can only occur in school debates, actually appeared in the court trial, and there are two very experienced lawyers. The only possibility is that they are tacitly procrastinating for time.

Cao Yun didn't know if the judge could see through it, after all, both sides were very dedicated. Today is the second court of Xu's father's case, and he is still circling around the witness testimony that has not yet ended in the first courtroom. At the current pace, two sessions of four hours each day will take at least a week to conclude the trial portion of the case.

After Judge No. 1 suspended the trial on the tricycle issue, Guo Xiaotian began to display the map. It is a shanty old town, and the area is quite large. In fact, the Phoenix community is a community built at the beginning of this century, and there is no parking lot planned.

Guo Xiaotian pointed out the distance from Wangjia Fish Soup to Fenghuang Community, the camera division, the speed of the tricycle, the weather conditions at that time, and so on. seemed to be paving the way for Guo Xiaotian's next defense lines, but he didn't expect that after Guo Xiaotian spent more than 20 minutes explaining, he asked: "Prosecution, do you recognize this information?"

Sima Luo replied: "Yes." ”

"Thank you. ”

Then there was an awkward silence in the courtroom, and Sima Luo looked at Guo Xiaotian and spoke. Guo Xiaotian, you are so happy to recognize, I have nothing to say for a while.

Sima Luo reacted after a few seconds: "Wait, defense lawyer, do you have any official information to support these environmental conditions?" What do you mean? You said that the weather was cold, how many degrees, did you make it up yourself, or did you say it in the weather forecast?

Guo Xiaotian said: "This is the environmental data provided by the meteorological observatory on the day of the incident. ”

"Huh?" Sima Luo didn't know how to answer.

Guo Xiaotian was helpless and continued: "Everyone looks at the topographic map, the defendant left Wangjia Fish Soup and returned to Fenghuang Community, and he should have walked on the relatively spacious Liuxiang Street. Liuxiang Street is a street in this area that is relatively close to the new city, and it is also a relatively famous night stall street. Therefore, there are several security cameras installed on Liuxiang Street. However, the police did not find that the defendant passed through Liuxiang Street before and after the incident. Neither the defendant was found to have left at 10:30 as the defendant claimed to have left or the police believed to have left at 11 o'clock. ”

Guo Xiaotian said: "Suppose that according to the prosecution, the defendant left Wang's fish soup at eleven o'clock without passing through Liuxiang Street. It must be other alleys and alleys, so that his time to return to the Phoenix Community will be very tight, and he will need a certain amount of time to destroy the physical evidence. That is, the 30,000 yuan lost at the scene of Wang Xia's murder. ”

Is that enough time, or is it not enough? If you drive a little faster, it's still enough. Sima Luo began to maintain the evidence, explaining that the weather was cold, raining, and no one was there that day, and he could return to the Phoenix Community in fifteen minutes. Guo Xiaotian thinks it will take at least 17 to 20 minutes.

The two sides tacitly found a new topic of conversation and began a forty-minute war of words.

Until Judge No. 2 struck the hammer.

After a few seconds of silence, Judge No. 2 said, "I know that there are people who are secretly in contact with both of you to make you stall. You must know that he has acted in violation of the rules of the court. Not only in the Flame Court, but also in the ordinary court, if this happens, he is also in trouble. Originally, I planned to turn a blind eye, after all, it is not easy for you to offend the police. Looking at the trial situation, this person's behavior has seriously disrupted the trial process of this case, so it ...... Drag him out. ”

A guard near the jury bench pulled out a pistol and pointed it at a man in his thirties, moving the muzzle of the gun and signaling him to come out. The man was calmer, raised his hands to look left and right, and walked out of the jury seat.

Sima Luo said: "I think there are some misunderstandings. ”

A guard came over, one pressed the man's neck, pointed his head to the ground, and the other pointed a pistol at the back of the man's head.

Sima Luo hurriedly said: "I can promise the Flame Court here, and we will definitely not ...... next."

The gun went off, and a scream followed by a deathly silence.

Judge No. 2: "The rules of the Flame Court are simple, and you can ask for it. We speak of credibility, and we expect our guests to do the same. If he had lived, he would have become a hero, and he went deep into the tiger's den, giving information and buying enough time for the police...... Originally, I wanted to fulfill him. It's a pity that he led to endless bickering between the prosecution and defense, wasting everyone's precious time. That's it for the morning trial, and the trial starts at 2 p.m., and I hope that the prosecution and defense will show a little professionalism. Concentrate on doing your job well. Leave the court!"

Everyone didn't leave immediately, quietly looking at the man lying in a pool of blood. Perhaps that's when they really understand the difference between the Flame Court and the Court. Giving false testimony in court, scolding judges, and disrupting order...... The big deal is to go to jail. Here, there will be dead people.

……

Cao Yun returned to his room and lay on the bed in a daze.

The undercover agent, as a juror, actually contacted the prosecution and defense privately, and this kind of behavior is really unexpected. When the video of the trial was posted on the Internet, few people would think that the Flame Court was excessive. People who watch the video are more concerned with the facts of the case and the trial than with how the police dismantle a criminal gang.

Cao Yun didn't think the police could catch anyone in the Flame Court. It's clear that the Flame Court is attracting the police. This is also a limitation of the police, Li Mo must know that it is difficult to arrest the people of the Flame Court, not to mention that this time it was the Flame Court that took the initiative to dig a pit. But Li Mo has to jump, he is a policeman, and he can't do nothing.

Cao Yun picked up the phone: "Hello, I have something to leave...... Good. Cao Yun thought that he should have withdrawn and left, and when the video was uploaded at night, the police learned that he had died undercover, and the ghost knew what he would do.

The waiter asked Cao Yun to wait, and after a few minutes, the waiter said, "Judge No. 3 invited Lawyer Cao to the courtroom for lunch, what do you eat?"

"Whatever you want. ”

"Is steak okay?"

"Yes. ”

The courtroom door was closed, and two guards stood at the door. Cao Yun arrived, the guard pushed open the gate on the left, and after Cao Yun entered, the guard closed the gate. Most of the courtroom lights are not on, except for spotlights on the top of the prosecution and defence seats. At the same time, Judge No. 3 can be seen sitting in the judge's seat.

"Lawyer Cao, choose a position. Judge No. 3 said.

The door opened, and two waiters appeared, one of whom brought the food to Judge No. 3 and helped unfold the napkins. Another waiter stood behind Cao Yun with a tray, waiting for Cao Yun to sit down.

Cao Yun looked left and right for a while, and finally sat down in the prosecution seat, and the waiter put down the steak, fruit, toast, soup and a glass of juice.

Two waiters left and the door closed again.
