Chapter 145: Trial (II)

The second witness, who belonged to the PA of the Regal Hotel, first stated his name and position in the hotel according to the rules.

Cao Yun asked, "Witness, your original job was the PA of the men's restroom on the third floor?"

Witness: "Yes. ”

Cao Yun asked: "Then why is Ah Qiang in the banquet hall on the third floor on the day of the crime?"

The witness replied: "Cuong is a new employee, he looks pretty good, and he has a good relationship with me." When I got off work the day before the incident, he asked me if I could change shifts. I asked why, and he said that he liked Bai Ru very much and hoped to meet a real person tomorrow. ”

Cao Yun asked, "You agreed?"

The witness replied: "No one wants to go to work in the bathroom, and there is an advantage to this position, you can receive tips, sometimes several times more than a day's wages." The third floor is a private banquet hall, which is not only crowded and hygienic, but also basically no tipping. It's not as good as a restaurant, there are fewer customers in the restaurant, the work is easy, and there are more tips, I have no interest in stars, of course I changed. ”

Cao Yun asked: "Ah Qiang, that is, the defendant, he has asked you for a shift for several times." ”

"For the first time. ”

Cao Yun asked again: "Ah Qiang has never worked in the banquet hall on the third floor?"

"Yes. ”

Cao Yun asked, "Ah Qiang is not familiar with the warehouse on the third floor?"

"Yes. ”

Cao Yun asked, "Suppose it is a person who has never been to the warehouse on the third floor, can he find the location of the hand sanitizer in a short time?"

The witness replied: "It's not difficult, because hand sanitizer and paper towels are high consumables, especially in the case of banquets, and it is very useful if there are many people." Hand sanitizer and paper towels are placed on the shelves that can be seen directly at the entrance of the warehouse. ”

The prosecutor couldn't help but ask, "Defense lawyer, are you wasting everyone's time?" You are proving that Cuong had enough time to go back to the bathroom with hand sanitizer and kill people.

Cao Yun smiled at the prosecutor and continued to ask, "If you hadn't changed shifts with Cuong that day, how long would it take you to find hand sanitizer?"

The witness replied: "It's difficult, I guess it will take at least a few minutes." ”

Cao Yun asked in surprise: "You just said that the location of the hand sanitizer is obvious, and you are still a full-time staff member on the third floor." ”

The witness replied: "A few days after the incident, we took stock and I found that the hand sanitizer had been hidden. ”

There was an uproar in the hearing room, and after the judge asked for silence, Cao Yun said, "Can you first explain what is in the warehouse?"

"Basically, crockery, tablecloths, candlesticks, vases, trays, Christmas hats for the holidays, a very miscellaneous warehouse. We usually put it on the outside and use it once a year, or it is a preservation type, such as dishes and cutlery, which are placed on the inside. ”

"Everyone, please look at the video of the warehouse. "Lu Yihang sent a video to TV, it is a warehouse video shot by Lu Yihang, the warehouse is quite large, there are four rows of iron shelves in front, each iron shelf has three layers. Behind the iron shelves, there were also a lot of cardboard boxes stacked on the ground, some of which had not even been opened, with labels on them, what model of bowl, what model of spoon. Some cardboard boxes contain Christmas clothes and hats, as well as holiday ribbons and so on.

Cao Yun asked, "The hand sanitizer is hidden, where is it hidden?"

The witness replied: "I remember there were two rows of ten bottles of hand sanitizer, and there was an unopened hand sanitizer at the back of the warehouse. Afterwards, I found that two rows of ten bottles of hand sanitizer had all been placed in the cardboard boxes of the Santa hats, and the boxes of unopened hand sanitizers had been opened, and one row had been taken out. ”

Cao Yun said: "As the witness said, when Ah Qiang couldn't find the bulk hand sanitizer, he thought that there was no bulk hand sanitizer, so he went to the iron frame to look for it. This is a bottle of hand sanitizer that has been unpacked and unpacked, and it is a bottle of hand sanitizer that is dug out by avoiding the transparent glue by hand, tearing open the carton. The witness also answered the prosecutor's question, which is my statement, that there is no way for Cuong to get a new bottle of hand sanitizer and return to the bathroom in a short period of time. ”

Cao Yun said: "According to the timeline, Ah Qiang returned to the bathroom at about 8:33 minutes, and when he put the hand sanitizer on the sink, he saw the watch and the bag. It is undeniable that Cuong saw that he was interested in money, so he immediately took his watch, took the cash and went to the staff locker room. There are witnesses who show that Cuong arrived at the staff locker room at 8:35 a.m. This proves that Cuong did not have the time to commit the crime at all. ”

The prosecutor stood up: "There is another possibility to oppose the conclusion of the defense lawyer. After the first witness informed Keung that there was no hand sanitiser, Keung ignored it and simply went back to the bathroom. The deceased went to the bathroom, asked for hand sanitizer, and was attacked by Cuong. Cuong himself admits that the reason for his shift change was that he was planning to get some money on the day of the banquet. He was a man with a criminal stability mentality. After the killing, close the door of the No. 1 pit before changing the hand sanitizer, because as long as there is no shortage of hand sanitizer and hygiene products, no one will look for him. He may have had an idea to hide the hand sanitizer in the warehouse, then went to the staff break room with the stolen money and goods, and left with fingerprints when it was time to leave. ”

Cao Yun said: "Since you said that Ah Qiang has a stable mentality of crime, why do you have to wait in the staff locker room, and even return to the scene of the crime?"

The prosecutor was speechless: "This is his business, and he is a thief." ”

Cao Yun said: "According to my speculation, things should be like this. Someone enters the bathroom and empties the hand sanitizer. At 8:30, the video of the celebrities' wishes for Bai Ru's birthday began to be played, and everyone's attention was focused on the video. The deceased went to the toilet and if Cuong was in the toilet, the deceased would ask Cuong to leave on the pretext of hand sanitiser. Why? Because the deceased had to see a man in the bathroom, and that person was the murderer. ”

The prosecutor asked, "Is the defense lawyer making a cameo appearance in the police to solve the case?

Cao Yun said: "Prosecutor, you are too naΓ―ve, I am just a defense lawyer, and it is enough for me to prove that my client has not committed a crime." However, since you asked, I can say that. At 8:30, because of the video, the lights were reduced a little, which should have been the highlight of the birthday party, and it was also the time when everyone would not be absent. At this time, when the deceased went to the bathroom, who was the person he saw? It was certainly not the person the deceased could usually see casually. The murderer followed the deceased into the bathroom, the deceased entered the No. 1 pit, the murderer pushed open the pit door, and without waiting for the deceased to react, he stepped forward, covered his mouth with one hand, and stabbed the deceased with a steak knife in his hand. Then he helped the deceased to the ground. Since the deceased was held to the ground, the scene was equivalent to the deceased being stabbed with his back to the outside, but in fact the deceased was facing the outside. Next, the murderer began to counter-reconnoiter the fake scene, took off the watch, took the handbag, locked the pit door, and drilled out from under the pit door or climbed out from above. ”

Cao Yun: "The murderer put his handbag and watch on the sink, and he did these things for two purposes, one is that these things are done quickly, and the second purpose is anti-reconnaissance." For example, forensic and forensic evidence proves that the pit is the first crime scene, so why did the bloodstained watch appear on the washstand again? These clues are enough for the police to have a headache. ”

Public Prosecutor: "Continue editing." ”

Cao Yun said: "Okay, not only will I continue to make it up, but I can also make up who the murderer is, please listen to me finish making it up." ”

Cao Yun continued: "This is obviously a professional killer, I am not more capable than the police, I just found this breakthrough. The assassination was supposed to go well, the only problem was that my client came back early. After all, he went to get the hand sanitizer early. After the murderer came out of the bathroom, he found that my client was out of the warehouse, and it was impossible for him to leave through the corridor, so he could only return to the banquet temporarily. ”

Cao Yun: "But the murderer definitely wants to leave, with my substitution, he will stay by the passage to see the situation." The elevator is afraid to go, and there is monitoring in the elevator. There are many celebrities and celebrities at the banquet site, they have their own public accounts and the like, and some celebrities have tens of millions of fans, and there are many people who pay attention anyway. Therefore, celebrities are also happy to update their personal public accounts in person or let their agents update. As a broker or assistant, since you have such job requirements, you will also collect a lot of information. We looked through a lot of celebrity public accounts and other things, and found the suspect in a photo. ”

Lu Yihang put the photo, and the main target of the shot was a female star who was watching the video, nodding and smiling and applauding lightly. As for whether it is a pose or not, it doesn't matter, anyway, Cao Yun got the photo from the female star's blog. Half of the background of the photo's angle is a brightly lit passage, and it happens that a man is photographed between bright and not-so-bright. The man didn't watch the video, but looked sideways at the passage.

Cao Yun said: "He is the murderer you want." ”

The prosecutor was incredulous: "Just take a photo and say that this person is the murderer, and the defense lawyer is not a detective who has seen too much." ”

"Your Excellency, if I may, I would like to call a third witness who can answer the prosecutor's questions. ”

Most people were stunned after hearing this, Cao Yun solved the case on the spot. As Cao Yun said, he was investigating to clear Ah Qiang's suspicions, and the more he investigated, the more clues he found.

……

The third witness is Yun Yin.

Cao Yun: "Please explain your identity." ”

Yun Yin replied: "I am Yun Yin, vice president of Baoyun Company, and I am currently doing a lawyer internship at Gaoshan Law Firm. ”

Well, when I say this, I don't know if the clouds are hidden and I don't understand it anymore.

Cao Yun reluctantly explained to the judge: "He is an idle rich second generation, who wants to get a lawyer's certificate, but he is only a nominal name in Baoyun Company." ”

Yun Yin said: "Please remove the idiom of idleness." ”

Cao Yun: "Please ignore the idiom of idleness." ”

The judge struck the hammer and motioned to get down to business.

Cao Yun said: "Let's put it simply and clearly. ”

Yun Yin said: "We first looked for this female star and got seven photos of this suspicious man taken within 30 seconds. Through a technical investigation conducted by foreign colleagues, the appearance of this person was partially restored. Sure the person was carefully disguised, wore a wig, and used false eyelashes, and had undertones on his skin......"

Cao Yun reminded: "Who are foreign colleagues?"

Yun Yin replied: "It is a security non-governmental mutual aid organization, and the final conclusion report was made by a well-known laboratory in XXX, California, USA, which has legal effect in the United States, although it has no legal effect in my country, I hope it can be used as reference evidence." ”

"At the moment, I have only received a fax of the final report, not the original, so I cannot present it to court today. After Cao Yun finished explaining, he said, "Please continue." ”

Yun Yin replied, "No." ”

Cao Yun said: "It only proves that this person has been carefully disguised?"

Yun Yin replied, "Yes, just because the camouflage technique is more skillful, we can't know who he is just by taking photos. I believe that the police will have better technical conditions to analyze the photos. ”

Cao Yun nodded: "Your Excellency, in the current situation, I think the more suspected person is the man who appeared on the video, not my client." I have previously explained that my client does not have the time to commit the crime, and I leave it to the judge's discretion. ”

The judge said: "Because there are still many doubts in this case, this court announced that the case will be remanded to the police station for re-investigation." In addition, it is recommended that the charge against Cuong be dropped for homicide and that he be prosecuted for theft...... Withdraw from court. ”

The crime of theft has nothing to do with Cao Yun, and it is impossible for legal aid to send the case to Cao Yun again.

……

Win again!

There is no oil and water in this case, and Cao Yun is too lazy to mention the lawyer's fees of less than 10,000 yuan given by legal aid, and the focus of this case is on the keywords of entertainment, Shen Bing, and only son. The most important keyword, interests.

Gao Shan's reputation is slowly rising, and Cao Yun's reputation is skyrocketing. has been continuously exposed in a short period of time, at least in the industry, Cao Yun is now a relatively well-known lawyer in Dongtang.

After appearing in court, Cao Yun asked Lu Yihang to contact the law firm, and he invited everyone in the law firm to dinner. Cao Yun is full of spirit in his heart, but he has always reminded himself to keep a calm heart. In Cao Yun's view, there is no need to be modest, and it is appropriate to enjoy success. Cooking a table of dishes, keep telling the guests that there is no food, this is polite, not to let the guests agree with their view that they have no food, but to refute their own view of no food, and change the way to let the guests praise themselves. Of course, this is not what the cooks intended, but it usually turns out that way.

Cao Yun reminded himself that he should have a full understanding of his own ability, and he should not overestimate himself because of success, nor underestimate himself because of failure. In this way, we can not be defeated in the face of setbacks, and we can succeed without being arrogant.

As soon as Lu Yihang finished calling, Gao Shanxing received a call, hung up the phone and said to Cao Yun: "Wang Zi wants to ask me for a drink." ”

As soon as he heard Wang Zi, Cao Yun immediately felt sorry. When he got Wang Zi's information from Ling Hulan, he threw it directly to Gao Shanxing, and he didn't even ask about the situation afterwards. Cao Yun: "How is it?"

Gao Shan Xing said: "I was quite happy when we met last time, but ...... Let's get in the car first. ”

The car is Yunyin's, and the driver is naturally Yunyin, and Yunyin's character is very good. didn't pretend about some things because of his background and background. can't say that, Yun Yin is also hypocritical, but hypocrisy is on the bright side. Say to your face who Lao Tzu is and why you want to do this. and will not do things silently in person, and will not be happy in my heart.

After getting into the car, Cao Yun asked, "Wang Zi?"

Wang Zi was quite satisfied with the treatment proposed by Gao Shan Xing, and Ling Hulan also called her, and at the same time, she assessed that she would not be subject to big restrictions and constraints in Gao Shan Law Firm, and she was also quite satisfied with the working atmosphere. But Wang Zi does not have a lawyer's license, which means that she cannot go to court and can only rely on other lawyers to appear in court. At present, there are only Gao Shanxing and Cao Yun full-time lawyers in the law firm, one is the boss and the other is a new star, and she has no confidence in control.

The second difficulty is that Wang Zi prefers a home-based work model rather than a commercial law firm's work model, which is not a big problem given that she is a consultant.
