Chapter 296: The momentum can't be lost (the second more asks for a monthly pass)
Gu Nianyi said, took out his laptop and connected it to the court's projector, and explained to everyone after connecting: "Everyone knows that Ms. Luo Xinxue passed away ten years ago. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Her death, which was once concluded to be a suicide. But a recent autopsy by Dr. Zhu, a well-known forensic doctor in the military department, proved that Ms. Luo did not commit suicide, but died of murder. ā
"Against. Ten years have passed since Luo Xinxue's case, and the prosecution period has long passed. This case should not have been filed at all. Kim threw out the first "opposition" of the day.
Gu Nianzhi raised his eyebrows, this Jin Daxiang really looked down on himself as a fledgling rookie, and actually used this kind of "opposition" full of mistakes and omissions to try to take the lead.
Gu Nianzhi fought back without hesitation, and said coldly: "Jin Dazhuo, you are really ashamed of your reputation. According to the laws of the Chinese Empire, murder cases have no prosecution period and are valid forever. Seeing that you can become the chief executive of JD Law Firm like this, I feel that my future is bright. ā
Kim Dae-ju was annoyed and angry, and protested to the judge: "Oppose! What the opposing lawyer said has nothing to do with this case!"
"You are the defendant's chief lawyer, I have doubts about your professional ability, why is it irrelevant to this case?" Gu Nianzhi sneered, refusing to lose his momentum at all.
The judge was suffocated by her, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he nodded to Gu Nianzhi: "It's not directly related, it's better to say less." ā
"Yes, Your Excellency. Gu Nianzhi stopped talking nonsense, picked up a laser rod in his hand, and pointed it at the large screen hanging on the wall on one side of the courtroom.
The projector turned on, and a cold room appeared on the big screen.
Then the camera pans to a distant view of a body on the operating table.
Gu Nianzhi pointed at the picture of the body with a laser pointer, "This is the body of Luo Xinxue, who has been quietly stored in the underground cold storage of the General Hospital of the Military Department for ten years, that is, the wife of Huo Guanyuan, the former colonel of the Military Department, and the mother of Miss Huo Jialan." ā
āā¦ā¦ Our purpose is to prove that the cause of Luo Xinxue's death was not suicide, but homicide. And the only direct evidence we have may be this body. The small red dot on the laser rod in Gu Nianzhi's hand drew a range around Luo Xinxue's body on the big screen, "This evidence is small, it's really too thin." But let's say it's big, but it's the most powerful evidence. Because there is nothing that the body cannot tell you. ā
The judge nodded, looked intently at the big screen and asked, "...... What did you find?"
āā¦ā¦ The most crucial piece of evidence is here. Gu Nianzhi said, knocked twice on the laptop, and pulled up a photo.
This time, it is a relatively clear photo of Luo Xinxue's body.
She lay on the dissecting table with her eyes closed, the white cloth pulled up to her chest, exposing her shoulders.
The face was white to blue, without a single bit of decay, and there was clearly an incision in the neck.
Gu Nianzhi pointed to the incision and said, "This is where Forensic Medicine Zhu cut it, and you can see her throat all the way to the inside of the stomach pouch." ā
The people in the court looked at the big screen intently, and they were all a little nervous, knowing that there must be a major discovery, otherwise Gu Nianzhi would not have deliberately listed this photo.
Sure enough, Gu Nianzhi then called up another photo: "Look, here is a lateral cut of the deceased's throat muscles, which spasmed so much that it was twisted to the point where it could barely swallow the pills." ā
āā¦ā¦ I remember Luo Xinxue's autopsy report that she committed suicide by swallowing sleeping pills. If her throat spasm so badly, how did she swallow her sleeping pills?" Gu Nianzhi grasped the key point and threw out the first obvious doubt.
"That's the biggest doubt. In this spasmodic state, unless the pills were pushed into her throat with external force, she would not be able to swallow them at all, and she would definitely spit them all out. As an expert witness, Dr. Zhu declared that murder was far more likely than suicide in this case.
It was also with such important evidence that the Imperial Capital Intermediate Court announced the filing of the case.
After the Bai family learned that the case had been filed, they immediately applied to the court to try the case in secret on the grounds that the case might involve secrets.
For this, even Huo Shaoheng did not object.
Therefore, the trial of this case will only be attended by the prosecution and defense and the other party's family members, and will not be open to the media and the public.
Huo Shaoheng only proposed that the final trial result must be made public.
This was also accepted by the court.
When Gu Nianzhi was at home, he knew the cause and effect, and he admired Huo Shaoheng even more.
From Chinese New Year's Eve to now, less than a month, Huo Shaoheng has not only completed his own work and dealt with the trouble that Miss Dou suddenly brought back, but also methodically put Bai Jinyi's case on the agenda.
From the selection of expert witnesses to the preparation of testimony in court, nothing has been left behind.
Gu Nianzhi looked back at the calm and calm Huo Shaoheng, and sat down with a victorious look, and the courtroom immediately resounded with the sound of ear-to-ear discussions.
At this time, Bai Jinyi's defense lawyer, Jin Dazhuo, asked again: "Miss Gu, I have a question. ā
"Speak. ā
"How do you prove that the spasms of the muscles of the deceased's larynx were caused before death, and not after death?"
Gu Nianzhi was slightly stunned, this is indeed a misunderstanding. After death, there will indeed be muscle spasms due to various reasons.
However, after the autopsy made this discovery, Forensic Doctor Zhu immediately concluded that it was caused before death, so the conclusion that the deceased committed suicide by swallowing sleeping pills is not established.
The question raised by the defendant's lawyer just points to the misunderstanding of their judgment, and it is indeed very sharp.
This golden shape does have a few brushes.
If Gu Nianzhi and they can't come up with a reasonable explanation, then the court, in line with the principle of "no doubt about the guilt", will definitely invalidate Dr. Zhu's conclusion, so it cannot be murder.
The courtroom was quiet all of a sudden, the sound of the central air conditioning was originally very subtle, but in this silence, this subtle sound seemed to be amplified, and Gu Nianzhi's ears only heard a constant buzzing sound, as if there were thousands of little bees spreading their wings and flying at the same time.
She frowned at her laptop screen.
The screensaver of Gu Nianzhi's computer screen is dynamic.
A rare black orchid bloomed on the screen, and the small seven-star ladybug slowly climbed up along the leaves of the orchid, until it climbed to the orchid petals shaped like an inverted bucket, and then seemed to have an unstable footing, and suddenly fell into the depths of the orchid along the veins of the petals.
Gu Nianzhi looked at this picture, and suddenly had a vague thought in his mind.
The seven-star ladybug fell into the orchid, but who can prove how the ladybug got in?
Did you fall into it, or did someone else stuff it in?
ā¦ā¦ If there are no witnesses, perhaps only this seven-star ladybug itself can prove it.
Gu Nianzhi thought about it, his eyes lit up, and he turned around and asked, "Forensic Doctor Zhu, can you prove that those sleeping pills entered the stomach pouch of the deceased before the muscle spasm of the throat canal, or after the muscle spasm?"
If the throat muscle spasm entered the stomach pouch of the deceased before the spasm, it is entirely possible to commit suicide by swallowing sleeping pills, and Dr. Zhu's previous conclusion is likely to be overturned by the opposing lawyer.
Only by proving that those sleeping pills entered the stomach pouch of the deceased after a spasm of the throat muscles can it be proved that the death of the deceased was indeed a death from murder, not suicide.
Forensic Doctor Zhu thought for a while, took the laser pointer from Gu Nianzhi's hand, pointed to the picture, and said slowly: "You can take a closer look at this side cut of the throat, there are serious scratches in it, which are left when the sleeping pills were forcibly stuffed into the throat. If the muscles of the throat are in a normal state, swallowing such a dose of medicine will not cause this result. ā
Gu Nianzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she took back the laser pointer from Forensic Doctor Zhu's hand and nodded, "Thank you Forensic Doctor Zhu for your professional explanation." Then he turned his head to look at the other party's chief lawyer, Jin Daqing, "Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Kim Dae-yang smiled, "We'll check the photos again." In addition, we asked that a third-party neutral forensic doctor be sent to re-autopsy Luo Xinxue's body. ā
"Are you doubting Forensic Doctor Zhu's professionalism?" Gu Nianzhi reacted quickly, immediately causing Forensic Doctor Zhu to glare angrily at Jin Dazhuo.
"Not a suspicion. However, Forensic Doctor Zhu is a member of the military department, and it is also appropriate for us to ask an impartial and independent third party to conduct the autopsy. ā
