————————————————————
The nouveau riche is crushed by the silence of the crowd, and sometimes no matter how loud you are, it doesn't mean you're right. Hoping to impose one's will on others will eventually be abandoned by everyone.
The injurors, seeing that the nouveau riche had reaped the consequences, left the table and walked back to their seats.
Peng Yichen felt surprisingly tired, he leaned back on the table in front of him, he didn't want to speak at all, but he knew he had to speak now.
"In a case like this, it's really hard to get rid of the bias in your head. At any given time, prejudice can easily obscure the truth. I don't know what the truth is, and I don't think anyone can get the whole truth. ”
He continued, very sincerely, very slowly: "There are nine of us who think that the defendant is not necessarily a murderer, maybe we are wrong, maybe we will let a murderer go because of it. However, we must not let go of any doubts, because this is the progress that the country has made after a long period of rule of law construction, and this is the right and obligation entrusted to us by the people. Unless the evidence is conclusive and beyond doubt, the juror cannot pass the courtroom. What the nine of us don't understand, in the face of so many doubts, why are the three of you so sure that young man should be punished... Field. ”
Speaking of this, Peng Yichen turned his face to look at the agent, he knew that this was his real opponent.
"Maybe you can tell us why?"
The agent was unmoved, and still calmly replied, "I'll tell you." ”
"There is some truth to what you just said, but I still believe that this young man killed his own lift. There are two reasons for this. ”
His logic is still clear and he speaks very well.
"First, the testimony of the woman who lived across the street and witnessed the killing.
Second, she described what she had seen: she saw the boy with his hands raised above his head and a knife stabbed at his father's chest. She saw him kill, even though he was holding the knife in the wrong position.
Let me retell this woman's testimony for you one more time. She said she went to bed at about 11 o'clock on the night of the crime, and her bed was next to the window, so that as long as she looked out, she could see the scene of the murder directly. She tossed and turned for nearly an hour that night, but she still couldn't sleep. Finally, at about 12:10, she turned to the window and saw through the tram window the killing. She said that it was pitch black after the murder, but she saw very clearly that the child was stabbing his father with a knife. In my opinion, this testimony is unbreakable. ”
The stout man seemed to be re-energized, echoing the agent's words one by one, and in the end he even got up excitedly and shouted: "That's it, that's it." ”
The agent looked at Peng Yichen calmly: "What do you think?"
Then without waiting for Peng Yichen's answer, the agent looked at the white-collar worker again, he knew that this young man had no opinions, and he wanted to open a breakthrough in the white-collar worker to reverse the current passive situation.
The white-collar worker really began to stumble.
"I don't know...... I don't really know. A lot of the testimony needs to be investigated, and it's a complicated case. ”
The agent ignored him and continued to reproach the others: "Honestly, I don't understand why you think this young man didn't kill his own father?"
The stout man looked at the white-collar worker and asked in a loud voice, "Putting aside other evidence, that woman really saw the defendant kill someone." What kind of evidence do you need?"
The white-collar workers were speechless.
The agent hit the railroad while it was hot: "Then let's vote again." ”
Sure enough, as he expected, the white-collar worker hurriedly said: "Then I change my choice, I choose to pass the court's verdict, that young man killed someone." ”
The stout man stood up proudly and shouted, "Then the current vote count has become eight to four again." ”
The engineer couldn't get used to his look, and sneered, "Do you need to be so proud? ”
The stout man was irritated by his breath and became angry again.
"If you say that, I think we should simply nullify our discussion and tell the court that they will reorganize the hearing to discuss the case. You don't agree with this, especially you, you've been the kid who has been making trouble here, and you don't agree to nullify this discussion. He stared at Peng Yichen again, as if looking at his enemy.
Of course, Peng Yichen could not agree to such a proposal, and if this discussion was nullified, all his efforts would be in vain.
"My suggestion is: let's talk about it again. ”
"How many times have we talked about it. You see this guy, like a ball, being kicked around by us. The stout man pointed at the white-collar worker and said.
The agent looked at the grievances on the white-collar collar's face, afraid that the stout man would push him into the camp of "against" votes, and hurriedly dissuaded: "We shouldn't torture him anymore, if you have an idea, just say it, don't involve others." ”
The stout man's only ally now is the agent, so he had to follow his advice and sit down slowly.
The agent was also very tired at this time, he took off his glasses, kneaded the bridge of his nose in general, and suggested: "I suggest setting a time limit, it is 6:15 o'clock, and it will be dinner time at 7 o'clock." We will discuss it until 7 o'clock, and if we have not reached an agreement by then, we will cancel the discussion. ”
At this moment, the old gentleman, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.
He looked at the agent with a concerned look on his face and asked, "Are you uncomfortable?"
The agent didn't know what he meant by asking, and said perfunctorily: "I'm fine, thank you." I don't think we can drag it out in unison......"
The old man didn't care about his attitude, and still said slowly: "The reason why I ask this is because you have been rubbing your nose...... I'm sorry to interrupt you, but what you did reminded me of something......"
The agent thought it was just an old man's chatter, and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm trying to persuade everyone to end this discussion as soon as possible, do you have any opinions?"
The old man explained to the agent slowly, "What I am going to say now is very important. ”
Seeing that the agent nodded in agreement, he continued.
"Thank you. I beg your pardon, but I still want to ask, why are you rubbing your nose like that?"
The stout man clearly sensed something, and interrupted, "What's the point of asking this?"
The old man was angry for the first time today, and he was like an old tree in the wilderness, though its branches and leaves were gone, but it was still straight and stiff.
"I'm talking to the guy standing next to you," he shouted.
After saying that, he turned to the agent and asked, "Now, why are you rubbing your nose like that?"
"I did it because my nose hurts. ”
"I'm sorry, but is that because you wear glasses?"
"Yes. Okay, so can we talk about something else?" the homo economicus began to get agitated, he was rarely so uncool.
"Your glasses have two deep indentations on either side of the bridge of your nose, I didn't notice it before, so it must be uncomfortable, right?" the old man asked, ignoring it.
The agent said helplessly: "It's very uncomfortable. ”
"I don't understand that feeling. I haven't worn glasses because my eyes have always been good. ”
When the old man said this, he suddenly showed a faint smile, he had never been so confident and firm in his life, and slowly said what he had discovered.
"The woman who testified in court that she saw the murder pass by had the same mark on her nose. ”
Peng Yichen swore that he had never seen such an old man.
When he said his most subtle observation, Peng Yichen felt a light outside the window hit his face, although it was still rainy, it still couldn't hide the light full of wisdom on the old man's body.
The old man's words seemed to wake up something, and the audience was in an uproar.
"God, I saw it too!"
"yes, I saw it at the time, why didn't I pay attention. ”
