"Of course not. Qin Shuimei smiled bitterly: "How can that kind of upper-class person make friends with someone like me?"

"Hmm......" Zhou Yi said: "Last question, how long have you lost your eyesight?"

"It should have been two seconds at most, and by the time I regained my sight and looked back, the woman was gone. ”

Only two seconds? Even Zhou Yi was surprised, if this woman used a micro-poison, she would be a biochemical expert, and if she used acupoint techniques, she would be a martial arts master.

This time also explains why the female killer did not clean up the traces of the scene and had a forensic certificate to wipe her ass, because she simply did not have time.

Although the forensic method of using 'new ash to cover the traces' cannot be said to be very clever, it is also a relatively convenient method that can have a certain effect in a short period of time, and if you wipe off the climbing marks in the flue, it will inevitably leave new traces, and if you wipe away all the traces, it is contrary to common sense, because there is no fireplace in use in this world that the flue is completely clean.

Now that Zhou Yi has discovered a flaw, this is not a female killer and a low-level black sheep in forensics, but Zhou Yi is too advanced!

"Mr. Zhou, I really convinced you. Ma Ming is also called Shunkou now, and as soon as he walked out of the correctional center, he shouted affectionately: "You are really amazing, even Qin Shuimei didn't see the appearance of the female killer was guessed by you?" Haha, let me guess, are we going to go all out to investigate this female killer, and then find out the real culprit behind the scenes, and fight a beautiful lawsuit that caused a sensation in Xiangjiang?"

"It's for me to investigate this female killer, but it's just my personal interest......" Zhou Yi smiled, the guy behind the scenes was playing quite beautifully, which made him want to tease this guy: "But this has nothing to do with the case......

"You mainlanders are so funny. Ma Ming listened energetically: "What do you mean? Find the mastermind behind the scenes, Qin Shuimei will naturally get away with the crime, isn't this the most correct way?"

"Huh. In fact, after reading the transcript of the police, I suspect that a fourth person entered the ...... at the scene of the crime."

Zhou Yi smiled and said: "Do you know why I delayed going to the Liyou Hotel for a few days to check the scene? I just want to see how powerful this mastermind behind the scenes is." I can't imagine that after a period of time, no one in the police has discovered or revealed that there was forensic evidence to cover up the traces of the real murderer, what does this mean?"

"It means that the forces behind this mastermind cover at least half of the Mong Kok Branch?" Ma Ming gasped.

"Maybe it's more. Zhou Yi said with a smile: "To deal with this powerful dark force, we must seize the best opportunity to uproot it in one fell swoop, and we must not act rashly." So there is no need to startle the snake because of Qin Shuimei's case. ”

"What's more, according to the current conditions, we also have a way to get rid of Qin Shuimei's murder. Didn't this mastermind behind the scenes kindly sell us a 'flaw'?" Zhou Yi smiled: "Speaking of which, I want to thank him." ”

"What does this person mean?" Ma Ming frowned, "I really can't figure it out." Mr. Zhou, although that flaw is there, Sun Yuqing's 'famous dog' is also very difficult, are you really so sure?"

"Oh, didn't I say it, it's ...... in my dictionary"

"No, no, no!" Ma Ming immediately said in unison with him.

The two of them looked at each other, and they both laughed......

***

On the day of Qin Shuimei's official trial, it was cloudy and rainy. It seems that even God is telling something. Zhou Yi and Ma Ming came to the reception room specially set up for the defendant by the High Court in advance, and they have the right and obligation to explain to Qin Shuimei the trial process and the matters she should pay attention to when she responds to the prosecutor's questions before the trial begins. (Skip the court hearing)

The courtroom was also full of people early, and this kind of ordinary criminal case would not have attracted too much attention. Some of these people had been notified by the court of the call to wait for jurors to be selected, while others had come after reading news reports.

Zhou Yi is still a trainee now, so the lead lawyer in this case is still Yang Cai in name. Yang Cai looked at Zhou Yi with a smile. He whispered: "I don't have any preparations, I'll see you later, behave well." Your daughter-in-law is still watching you from the auditorium, and if you win the lawsuit, I will invite you and your husband and wife to dinner. Zhou Yi nodded, after all, it was the first time to go to court, even if he was well prepared, he was still a little nervous.

"Case No. KK24587/2013, Trial Now Commenced"

"First, the prosecution and defense select the jurors. Prosecutors and defense lawyers, you have five chances to object, but please don't abuse it and waste everyone's time, is that okay?"

"Yes, Your Excellency. "Yes, Your Excellency. ”

Yang Cai, Zhou Yi and prosecutor Sun Yuqing got up one after another and replied.

"Very good"

According to Hong Kong law, any Hong Kong citizen under the age of 21 and 65 years of age is obliged to serve as a juror as long as he or she is of normal intelligence, has no mental illness, has no hearing or hearing impairment, is able to communicate in Chinese and English to the level of ordinary communication, and is not engaged in legal work.

Whenever the High Court commits a trial of a serious criminal case, 17 or more citizens with jury duty will be notified one day in advance to appear in court, and then the trial judge will select the prosecution and defense to become members of the jury.

This jury system does not apply to magistrates' offices and district courts.

"First candidate for jury with ID number"

The presiding judge was first selected by a man in his fifties, who looked visibly panicked when he stood up from the bench. After asking him to explain his experience, the presiding judge said, "Prosecutor, defense lawyer, do you object to this candidate serving on a jury?"

"I have no objection, Your Excellency. Sun Yuqing said first.

"Judge" Zhou Yi is very dissatisfied with the candidate's information, xxx, 57 years old, runs a private hotel for business, and his address is

"I object to this candidate being a juror because I have reason to suspect that as a private hotel operator, he is likely to have a preconceived impression of the defendant in this case to the detriment of my client!"

"I accept the request of the defence counsel. But I must remind the defense that the presiding judge frowned slightly: "It is your right to exercise the right of veto, but your evaluation of the candidate is too subjective." If a candidate gives up his work and rest time to come to the courthouse in order to fulfill his jury duty, whether you accept him as a juror or not, you should give him enough respect, okay?"

"Yes, Your Honor, I apologize to this candidate for my inappropriate words and actions. Zhou Yidao.

The presiding judge nodded slightly and began to draw the next candidate

The whole process of selecting jurors took about fifteen minutes, and Zhou Yi used all five objections to the edge of his hand, regardless of whether the presiding judge would be disgusted with him.

Yang Cai, who was sitting in the auditorium, was slightly sideways, Zhou Yi's performance was really good, where was it like a probationary who was in court for the first time? With his efforts, among the seven members of the jury, there were actually four women, and they were all from a not very good civilian class, 'women will always sympathize with women', which is very beneficial to Qin Shuimei.

"Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, I would like to thank you for sacrificing your work and rest time to fulfill your jury duty, and now I will give you the first reminder."

The presiding judge smiled and said to the seven jurors who were elected: "Because the defendant in this case is charged with murder, which is a very serious crime, the jury must pass the decision of guilt or innocence by a large ratio of five votes to two, everyone understands?"

"Yes, Your Excellency. The lead juror replied, standing up.

"Okay, prosecutor, you can file a preliminary complaint"

At the trial stage, the prosecution had already stated the basic evidence of the case and charged Qin Shuimei with murder, and Yang Cai and Zhou Yi had pleaded not guilty to the charges on behalf of Qin Shuimei. Therefore, the chief prosecutor, Sun Yuqing, simply stated the facts of the case and began to call prosecution witnesses.

The first prosecution witness was Zhang Shui, the administrator of the Liyou Hotel, and after taking the oath in court, Zhang Shui entered the witness stand.
