Lin Manshu sat in the dock for the first time, and when she looked at the courtroom from this angle, she seemed to have some indescribable feelings. But there was no one on her bench. Whether there is a defense lawyer or not is not important to Lin Manshu at all, who can compare to Lin Manshu in the ability to defend in turn?

may also take into account Lin Manshu's ability, and there are two prosecutors on the other side, but these are not important.

Lin Manshu looked sideways at the audience, most of the people who came today were people from the legal and political circles, and they were very curious about how this lawsuit would proceed. Shen Lingshan and Xiao Hanyu sat at the front.

Xiao Mubai did not come, and as a witness in this case, he could not observe the case, so he could only wait until the court summoned him before entering. He waited outside anxiously, even fidgeting.

Compared with Xiao Mubai, Lin Manshu is very calm. To be precise, all the members of the case were nervous, from the judge to the prosecutor to those in the gallery, with excitement and reverence.

But Lin Manshu, who should have been nervous, had an expression of indifference.

"Does she really not care? Or is she pretending not to care?" discussed the prosecutor in the prosecution case with a colleague.

"I don't know. In short, we have to be careful, she is not so easy to deal with. ”

The trial began with the sound of a serious gavel, and the previous content was long and boring, and if you are not a legal person, you probably don't have the patience to go through these lengthy processes.

The most intense and exciting part of this trial is the prosecutor's questioning of the defendant.

Judge: The prosecutor is ready to question the accused.

Prosecutor 1: May I ask the defendant whether he pleaded guilty to the above-mentioned crimes of intentional homicide and instigating escape from prison.

Lin Manshu: We do not agree with all the charges provided by the prosecution.

Prosecutor 1: Did you store the knives found in the defendant's home?

Lin Manshu: Yes.

Prosecutor 1: As far as I know, more than 20 knives have been found, and these knives must not be used to cut fruits.

Lin Manshu: Of course not, it's for self-defense. And, to be exact, there were twenty-seven knives hidden.

Prosecutor 1: Does self-defense mean to prevent Huang Anyi?

Lin Manshu: That's right, Huang Anyi once threatened to kill me when he was released from prison. After learning that he had suddenly escaped from prison, he hid the knives in order to defend himself.

Prosecutor 1: In other words, these knives were used against Huang Anyi from the beginning, and you also know that using these knives can kill Huang Anyi.

Lin Manshu: The situation you mentioned needs to be realized under three premises. First, I knew for sure that Huang Anyi would come to kill me, second, I had the opportunity to use a knife in the event of Huang Anyi's appearance, and third, I could predict that I would be able to accurately stab Huang Anyi in the fatal spot. But I'm sorry that I don't have the ability to predict, so I didn't know in advance that Huang Anyi would die. Therefore, I cannot agree with the premeditated murder mentioned by the prosecution.

Prosecutor 1: You just need to answer my question.

Lin Manshu: I'm answering your question.

Prosecutor 1: There is no need to answer so much.

Lin Manshu: I was afraid that you wouldn't understand.

Prosecutor 1: Are you questioning my ability to understand right now?

Lin Manshu: I don't usually say a lot, but occasionally I say a lot, maybe it's a kind of questioning, IQ.

Shen Lingshan sat in the audience and couldn't help laughing when she heard Lin Manshu's words. This is probably the most horrific of cross-examinations. Especially Lin Manshu's * and contemptuous eyes, which are annoying.

The prosecutor who interrogated him said with a warm face: "You ......"

In order not to turn the trial into a quarrel, the judge tapped the gavel and said, "Don't discuss topics that are not related to the facts of the case. ”

In the second round of interrogation, a prosecutor was replaced, maybe the one just now was angry with Lin Manshu, for fear that he would not be able to control his emotions well and damage the prosecutor's face.

The prosecutor who was questioned this time was relatively young in terms of appearance, and he may have only been out of school for a short time. In terms of aura, he is much weaker than Lin Manshu.

Prosecutor 2: Continuing with the question just now, that is, the defendant secretly hid knives in your home to deal with Huang Anyi.

Lin Manshu: Please pay attention to the wording, it is for self-defense.

Prosecutor 2: Okay, okay, for self-defense. Defendant: Don't you know that it is a crime for a resident to possess a knife in his possession?

Lin Manshu: To be precise, it is not illegal to possess controlled knives, but it is a violation of public security regulations, and it is enough to fine or confiscate knives. In addition, the knives found in my home are not controlled knives, according to the "Criteria for the Identification of Controlled Knives", daggers, *, switchblades (jump knives) and other similar single-edged, double-edged, * are controlled knives, and all the knives found in my home are fruit knives that can be bought on the market. The police appraisal also wrote that these are not controlled knives, I don't know why the prosecution wants to pull this point?

Prosecutor 2: Because the defendant killed Huang Anyi with these knives. And the number of knives hidden in the house is huge.

Lin Manshu: Is there any essential difference between keeping one fruit knife at home or 20 fruit knives? These are not illegal acts in the first place, so why should they be investigated?

Prosecutor 2: For ...... Why should we pursue it? because, because ......

If the momentum is weakened, it will always be suppressed. It was supposed to be the prosecutor interrogating the defendant, but these became Lin Manshu's cross-examination of the prosecutor. The scene in the courtroom was very embarrassing for a while.

"Oh, this waste, really, how can you be speechless and lose the dead. Shen Lingshan complained below.

"Do you know that?" asked Hanyu.

"Yes, a junior, why is this kid getting more and more wasteful. No, go back and teach him a good lesson. ”

Seeing that there was a lot of discussion in the audience, the judge rang the gavel again and said, "Silence, silence." ”

Subsequently, the judge announced an intermission. The prosecutor was already panicking and began to anxiously discuss countermeasures. They didn't expect that Lin Manshu would break the obstacles they set up one by one so lightly.

If Lin Manshu's behavior is finally determined to be justified defense, then they, the prosecutors, will be scolded miserably.

After the adjournment, the cross-examination of witnesses began, and the first witness was Xiao Mubai.

Prosecutor 1: Witness, please tell us about the circumstances at the time of the incident.

Siu Mubai: At around 9 p.m. on October 20, I called Manshu, but no one answered. Afraid that something would happen to her, he rushed all the way to the villa. When she arrived at the villa, there was no light inside, and after entering, Manshu fell to the ground, and Huang Anyi was about to stab her with a knife......

Prosecutor 1: So you didn't see the full process at the scene.

Xiao Mubai: But I saw the process of Huang Anyi's attack on Manshu. Therefore, Man-sook's counterattack should be justified defense.

Prosecutor 1: Witness, you only need to describe the process you saw immediately, and it is up to the judge to judge whether her actions were justified or not.

Xiao Mubai glanced at the prosecutor in disgust, his eyes were seen by Lin Manshu, and Lin Manshu smiled faintly.

In order to prove that Lin Manshu was a deliberate murder, they also involved Huang Anyi in killing Lin Huijing.

Prosecutor 1: Defendant, Huang Anyi and you are enemies.

Lim Man-sook: Once.

Prosecutor 1: What do you mean it used to be?

Lin Manshu: He tortured and killed my brother, and we are enemies, but then we reached a criminal settlement, which is a moral and legal reconciliation, so we can't be considered enemies. It's just that he unilaterally thinks I'm his enemy.

Prosecutor 1: Will you easily forgive the murderer who killed your brother?

Lin Manshu: Maybe you don't know much. At that time, Huang Anyi could have been sentenced to death, but thanks to my help, it was converted to life imprisonment. Do you think I forgave him?

Prosecutor 1: Wasn't the reason for this to kill him with his own hands?

Lin Manshu: This is just your speculation, and the court trial does not rely on speculation, but on evidence.

"You want proof, don't you? The prosecutor smiled, took out a piece of paper, and said: "This is a suicide note left by the victim Huang Anyi, which clearly accuses the defendant Lin Manshu of instructing the prison inmates to commit violence against him, and has repeatedly obstructed Huang Anyi's request for commutation. Do you admit to that?"

"I certainly do not admit this accusation of clear retaliation. Lin Manshu said.

"As far as I know, Huang Anyi's cellmates were all parties to your case. As a lawyer, you helped them get a minimum sentence in exchange for them to retaliate against Huang Anyi, right?" the prosecutor asked.

"Presiding Judge, this is a leading question, and I refuse to answer it. Lin Manshu looked at the presiding judge and said.

Lin Manshu is an excellent lawyer, and naturally she can defend herself well. But this is not the key to her victory, mainly because the other party has no clear evidence.

The argument for revenge against Huang Anyi was also broken after several rounds of discussion. The prosecution is right, Huang Anyi's cellmate is indeed a former party to the case, but there is no clear evidence to prove that Lin Manshu instigated the violence they committed against Huang Anyi. Moreover, after the case was over, they no longer had contact with Lin Manshu. The distribution of the prison is not something that Lin Manshu can control, and it is a bit far-fetched to say that it is deliberate.

Lim Man-sook applied for Wong's cellmates to testify in court, and they made it clear in their statements that they had not been instructed by anyone to commit violence against Wong.

After several discussions, the trial court members ruled that Lim Man-sook's actions were justified and dismissed the prosecution's indictment. The prosecution also did not file an appeal. This matter, after two months of protracted war, has finally settled.

When Lin Manshu walked out of the courthouse, it was sunny outside, and the winter sun was not strong, but warm and comfortable.

"The sunshine is so nice. Lin Manshu sighed.

Now she feels relaxed, holding the necklace given to her by Lin Huijing, and meditating in her heart: Huijing, my sister can finally sleep peacefully now.

She looked up at the sun above her head, and suddenly saw Lin Huijing's bright smiling face.
