Chapter 20 Trials

Qingzhou Intermediate People's Court.

Before the trial, Zou Jie, who was dressed in a brand new suit, and Luo Xueping, who was wearing a dark blue uniform, met in a narrow way at the entrance of the court. The former smiled and wanted to lean over to say hello, but the latter was as cold as ice, and strode away with only a "I see you" look, without giving Zou Jie any chance.

Zou Jie clenched the document in his hand, and said in his heart, this woman's appearance is the same as before, but I don't know how long she can last in court.

Fifteen minutes later, in court.

“…… At 7 p.m. on May 19, 2018, the defendant Han Chao intended to commit misconduct against the victim's woman, and the evidence was conclusive, and the defendant confessed to the crime. In addition, after investigation by the public security organs, the following suspicious physical evidence was found in the dormitory of the defendant suspect Han Chao...... On the evening of January 22, 2018, the surveillance of the western section of Binhai Avenue found that the defendant's figure was not far from the place where the victim was rescued in the Bai Chung case, and the defendant had a time to commit the crime, please see page 12 of the relevant evidence screenshots and photos...... The defendant's appearance is as similar as the oral appearance of the defendant, the surviving victim in the Pak Chung case, as high as 80%...... In addition, the defendant had repeatedly mentioned with his co-workers the idea of contempt for women......"

Luo Xueping quickly attacked, and immediately called for witnesses after a short speech.

Fu Yuan sat in the audience wearing a pair of sunglasses, and when he saw this witness appear, he couldn't help frowning. It's just because this person is the person in the dormitory of Han Chao, who was vague to her a few days ago and cherished words like gold. It turned out that he became a witness for the prosecution, no wonder......

At that time, she saw that this person was worried and didn't know what to do, so she had to turn to others to inquire, and finally found a fellow villager in the same town as Han Chao's hometown, and dug out some useful information from his mouth.

When the police were supposed to ask questions, they naturally came to ask them during the investigation, but with different positions, the questions asked sometimes had an invisible tendency. Although Fu Yuan was not inclined to defend Han Chao, he reluctantly made himself act as if he was on the same front as Han Chao in front of his fellow countrymen. In this way, the conversation box is opened.

“…… I've told the police these things before, but I don't think they believe them. Ah Chao has a stupid mouth, doesn't please women, is not handsome, and his family is poor, so he has been a bachelor for so many years...... Tell you secretly, Ah Chao went to find the hair salon girl on Whitewater Street before, but another fellow of ours dragged him alive. He is a person with a lot of money, you said that when you meet a lonely little girl walking at night, it is possible to flirt with a few words, but it is absolutely impossible to kill someone, he doesn't have the guts. What, that sulfuric acid, you say? It's hard to say......

The middle-aged man with the same surname as Han Chao looked hesitant, and it was not until Fu Yuan repeatedly assured that she would keep it a secret from the police, unless the information was significantly related to the case, and the man relented.

He glanced at the workers pointing in the distance, and motioned for Fu Yuan to follow him to the corner, and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Actually, there is something I didn't dare to tell the police... Han Chao has a stupid brain and a tendon, and sometimes he can't think about it. No, don't think crooked, here's how it goes......"

After leaving the big construction site that made her feel uncomfortable, Fu Yuan couldn't cry or laugh.

Unexpectedly, Han Chao had a conflict with the foreman two months ago, because the foreman thought that he was molesting his wife, and not many people knew about it, or Han Chao was aggrieved to find a fellow villager to drink after being deducted from his salary for his poor work. And that vial sulfuric acid was the revenge plan that Han Chao came up with when he was drunk.

“…… Mother's, the year before the salary was delayed, and the year after the year, he changed the law to rectify the person, and he had to be once! Next time, if he dares to slander Lao Tzu again, he will go out and pour water on him, and see if he dares to look down on people! You say, just his mother-in-law's body, it is white and swaying, fat and dead, and no one eats it until it is brought to the mouth, and I still need to ...... with her" This is the memory of a fellow villager surnamed Han, and Han Chao scolded and scolded at that time.

He originally thought that Han Chao was just drinking and getting over his addiction, and he wouldn't really do it. Facts also proved that Han Chao did not dare to make a move. For many months after that incident, the foreman was still arrogant and domineering, and there was not a single trace on his face. It wasn't until the public security came to search Han Chao's bed that he knew that Han Chao had really thought about it.

As a result, this fellow villager did not dare to tell the police. Although he does not understand the law, he has also watched some news programs and has a vague concept of the legal system. I always felt in my heart that if the origin of Han Chao's bottle of sulfuric acid was revealed, maybe Han Chao would have to add a charge of deliberate murder. After all, it was impossible for them to know at the beginning that Han Chao had been labeled as a "serial rapist", and it was not until Han Chao was transferred to the procuratorate and relevant news reports came out one after another that he regretted it, but he did not dare to take the initiative to seek the public security, for fear of being accused of being an accomplice and perjury.

In this regard, Zou Jie's comment is: "It seems that Han Chao has the same idea as his fellow countryman. Either they don't know about the previous cases, or they feel that they have nothing to do with them, and no matter how much they investigate, they can't find their heads, so they simply hold back and don't say anything. ”

Fu Yuan shook his head, the prosecution witnesses in the court had finished their presentations, and they had signed and left under the judge's instructions, and it was Zou Jie's turn to speak at this moment.

"In response to the so-called physical evidence presented by the prosecution, I will explain them one by one here......"

He euphemistically stated the origin of the bottle of sulfuric acid, characterized Han Chao's act of stealing sulfuric acid as "not beginning to commit the crime", and refuted Luo Xueping's "surveillance evidence theory" on the grounds that Han Chao was drunk on a winter night, and then when he talked about another piece of physical evidence, his face froze for a moment.

As for the two pieces of women's underwear, the defendant admitted that he had stolen the female neighbor's. As a bachelor in his thirties, I deeply regret that the defendant's normal physiological needs have not been met for a long time, leading him to commit such petty theft, but it must be pointed out that these two pieces of women's underwear are not trophies left over from a previous rape case, as the prosecution speculated......"

Prosecutor Luo Xueping suddenly interrupted Zou Jie's statement: "Dare to ask the defense lawyer, as you said, the defendant's physical needs have not been met for a long time, so he committed such an obscene act as stealing women's underwear, then, can it be inferred that the defendant has become psychologically distorted under long-term repression? If so, it is entirely possible for the defendant to attack multiple victims because of this, and this is a typical case on May 19, how do you explain it?"

Zou Jie immediately counterattacked, saying that Luo Xueping was groundless speculation, and cited the latest big data of marriage and sexual behavior surveys in society to prove that today's marriage rate is at a new low, and the number of people who have been single for many years belongs to Luo Xueping's mouth "sexual repression" is huge, according to her, every single dog may be a so-called rapist.

The two fought-for-tat and verbally for a while but to no avail, and prosecutor Luo Xueping turned the gun around again, attacking Han Chao's capricious confession during the interrogation, trying to convince the judge that Han Chao's defense was not credible, and even Zou Jie's defense was extremely credible.

In Fu Yuan's view, this case is really justified by the public, and the mother-in-law is justified, just because the evidence held by both sides cannot be regarded as ironclad, and there are many speculative elements.

It stands to reason that this kind of criminal case, which is not a certainty, should not be pushed to court so quickly, and it will take at least 2 or 3 months to complete the process, but now the front line has been shortened to more than half a month to complete the process. Not to mention that the trial is not a basic court, but a direct intermediate court for the first instance. She suspected in her heart that perhaps it was the influence of public opinion, or that some people were behind it. After all, as far as she knows, one of the victims in the first three cases seems to be the niece of the leader of a certain bureau in Haicheng.

She traveled to a lot of places a few days ago, from Qingzhou to Haicheng, and then to Luyang, but unfortunately, the public administration departments of these cities somehow, in recent years, as if they had made an appointment, have updated the monitoring equipment, but the data before the replacement was not all saved, even if there is preservation, the pixel effect shot by the old equipment is very scummy, and there are many dead ends, even if she manually processes and improves the pixels, it is still not clear to see the specific face that flashes, and cannot be submitted as strong evidence. On the contrary, it was the surveillance screenshot provided by the prosecutor that captured Han Chao's side face very clearly.

This made her very annoyed, and what was even more important was that after she properly "socialized" Lu Wei for a few days, she accidentally mentioned this case to try, but the other party still insisted that she had not seen Han Chao that night, which made her a little suspicious of which of Han Chao's repeated confessions were true and which were false.

The day before the trial, she even held this uncertain sense of nothingness to find Liang Jingcheng for a showdown.

Han Chao looks honest, but in fact, what he says is difficult to convince. Coupled with the fact that there is no strong evidence to be found, I personally question his innocence. For the sake of your credibility, I personally suggest that you don't take this case, anyway, ......"

Liang Jingcheng was rarely surprised, "Anyway, what?"

Fu Yuan hesitated, but still honestly said Mei Fang's evaluation of him truthfully, of course, only picked up the most important two sentences.

"Lawyer Liang is really interesting, you know no, he has a very famous nickname in the industry, called the pigeon ace. Do you know what it means? Hehe, I took your commission today, and Ming'er was in a bad mood, so he directly picked a son and didn't defend himself, preferring to pay compensation. However, people have a lot of money...... "This is the temporary gift of the Mei side when she gave her the entrusted task.

Liang Jingcheng was noncommittal about the nickname of "Pigeon King" at that time, as calm as ever, just as when he sat next to her at the moment, his expression was calm and calm, Zou Jie was strongly suppressed by Luo Xueping, he did not show a trace of worry, even when Zou Jie had the upper hand, there was no trace of joy.

Fu Yuan couldn't help but glance at him secretly, thinking wildly in his heart, what kind of pigeon king, I'm afraid it is the invincible cold crow king. In the past, she would have repented for no reason, could it be that she accepted bribes from her opponent and was unwilling to defend her original client? She had no conscience to slander her "temporary employer" like this.

Although Liang Jingcheng was sitting in the auditorium, his mind didn't seem to be very focused, and his eyes sometimes swept over the people in the court, and sometimes fell on the surface of the pile of materials on his lap. He noticed Fu Yuan's strange gaze several times, raised his eyebrows directly and looked back, and even raised the information in his hand very "friendly" to show her.

Fu Yuan glanced at it, oh, it turned out to be a detailed copy of the file of the first four cases, she took one of them and looked at it attentively.

The vast majority of people in the auditorium, especially the media reporters, stared intently at the tricks of Zou Jie and Luo Xueping, and didn't pay much attention to Fu Yuan. But she just forgot that today's trial was extraordinary, not only the families of the four victims involved in the case focused on it, but even the ordinary people in these three cities were also outraged, so the court specially reported to the higher authorities to broadcast the public trial online.

As a result, her little rabbit peeping at the Raven King and interacting with her friendly situation fell into the eyes of some people who were staring at the live broadcast page of the trial at the moment, even if it was not very close to the camera, but the clarity was appropriate.

In the elegantly decorated office, the middle-aged man frowned slightly, and he didn't look away for a long time, and he was even so distracted that he didn't even listen to the content of the battle between Zou Luo and the others. His hand hesitantly reached for the phone on the table, but he couldn't press the unfamiliar number.

In another small room, the man's index finger on the mouse tapped twice unconsciously, and he snorted a chuckle of unknown meaning between his noses. Soon, he simply clicked the X in the upper right corner, snorted lazily, and then turned away, reproducing a completely different look when he was in front of someone.

In the Happy Detective Agency, next to the three empty office chairs, a man in sunglasses slowly unscrewed the cap of the thermos cup, took a sip of wolfberry chrysanthemum tea, and then looked at the live broadcast page on the computer screen again, and felt interesting while watching, and muttered: "Today's police officers really know how to choose an angle, and if you deviate by 1 degree, you won't be able to see a good show~"

In the next second, when the young female prosecutor opened his mouth again, his eyes suddenly widened, and with a pop, the tea in his mouth was properly cleaned for the screen and keyboard......
