Cheng Xiaoyu stood in the dock in the courtroom, taking in the expressions of the people below, and the faces of the families of the Kawaguchi Yuan and Xiaoshan brothers were not sad, but greedy, but the family members of Yoshimoto really looked a little sad. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cheng Xiaoyu also saw Zhou Peipei who came uninvited, her face was full of worry and incomprehension, Zhou Peipei couldn't understand why Cheng Xiaoyu threw herself into the net, when she learned that Cheng Xiaoyu came to Neon, she looked for Su Changqing at that time to see if she could get Cheng Xiaoyu back through diplomatic channels, although Su Changqing promised to think of a way, but there was no follow-up.

Cheng Xiaoyu turned off the phone so that Zhou Peipei couldn't be contacted, she discussed with Su Yuxi, Su Yuxi was noncommittal, and seemed to be indifferent to this brother, which made Zhou Peipei lose her temper with Su Yuxi for the first time, how did she know that Su Yuxi even thought it was a good thing to let Cheng Xiaoyu go to prison for a few years..........

As for his friends, Xia Shamo, Xu Qinning, Wang Ou, and Chen Haoran were also nervously waiting for the trial to begin, Yijiyuan Jingmei sat in the media seat, and also made a cheering gesture for him, Cheng Xiaoyu smiled, and then nodded, he was actually not too nervous in his heart, first, because he admitted his innocence and had a clear conscience. Second, he's a little self-defeating, and it doesn't matter.

Maybe his self-abuse was done for Su Yuxi.........

At the beginning of the trial, in accordance with the legal procedure, the prosecution's representative Baba Intro first made a statement of the case, and then Zhu Wei set up, and the representative of the large legal team of up to 17 people, Nishimura Asahi, who is currently ranked first and second in Neon, and Anderson Mori Tomotsune, also made a statement.

Subsequently, the commanders of the two sides went on the field like a marquee and interrogated various witnesses. In the battle on the first day, the two sides were at a disadvantage as predicted by the newspapers, but they did not lose ugly.

But when defense lawyer Kenfu Ito appeared on the stage, it set off a climax in the courtroom and made a major change in the situation between the two sides.

Takuichi Matsumoto is the main evidence collector for the Neon Police. Ms. Baba introduced him to the stage and presented the jury with physical evidence of the case - blood stain samples collected in the security room on the basement floor of the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel, hair samples, gloves, cutlery, clothing, etc., most of which were collected after the earthquake when someone called the police.

Su Yuxi only took away the key evidence: the murder weapon, burned the clothes Cheng Xiaoyu was wearing when he killed people, and destroyed the body, but there are still a lot of traces of life in it, and there is no way to destroy them all.

He didn't expect that Zhu Wei, who had been in a corner of the courtroom and kept quiet, a defense expert from Huaxia, was waiting for him to appear like a cheetah. At his direction, Kenfuku Ito, the first criminal defense lawyer of Neon, appeared in court to cross-examine Takuichi Matsumoto, a leading criminologist at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

At the beginning of the questioning, he focused on blaming the police's assistant, Ms. Yamamoto, for the method of collecting blood samples. He played a video in court showing Ms. Yamamoto at the crime scene on Nov. 7 last year, about two months after the earthquake, without changing her latex gloves when she placed a blood-stained sample collected on the first floor of the Courtyard Pavilion into a paper bag.

Kenfuku Ito asked imposingly, "You didn't tell the grand jury that Shunko Yamamoto was one of the main people who collected the evidence?" Lawyer Kenfuku Ito, who was wearing a black suit and white shirt and a black bow tie, propped up the table of the witness stand with both hands, and looked directly at Takuichi Matsumoto: "You are now telling everyone in court, have you told the grand jury all the facts of Ms. Yamamoto Shunko's involvement? Have you ever taken an oath to the testimony of the grand jury?"

The witness, Takuichi Matsumoto, was quick to admit all three points. However, he denied any intention to shift the blame to a novice in the middle of such a well-defined case. "This is definitely not intentional, you must know that so many people died in the earthquake, there are various ways of death, every day the police have thousands of suspicious bodies to identify, physical evidence to collect, it is normal to have a little negligence and slackness in the work, you must know that that time is a very difficult experience for every police officer, we not only have to endure the pain of losing our loved ones to concentrate on our work, but also worry about our surviving relatives and our own future.......... Our daily work is quite heavy, and many of our colleagues have lost their lives in the earthquake, so we simply don't have enough strength..........," he argued, rather aggrieved.

"Are these the reasons for your violation of the work system and the police code?" said Ito in a loud voice, pacing back and forth in the courtroom, and then Mr. Ito told the criminologist about the principles of collecting evidence like a professor in a lecture hall.

Evidence must be well preserved to prevent contamination and tampering, work quickly and not hectably, and note accurately. He walked up to Takuichi Matsumoto and asked aloud whether Mr. Takuichi Matsumoto agreed with every principle he had said.

This made Takuichi Matsumoto look very embarrassed, and his speech was a little prevaricating. To some questions, he muttered "not necessary" or "I don't think so" - and he paused for a long time before answering.

Ito's cross-cutting questions were unusually clean and powerful. He hit the nail on the head and asked whether the pile of evidence that the prosecution used to deal with Cheng Xiaoyu had been destroyed by the negligence of this collection process.

On the morning of December 1, Ito Kenfu appeared in court and continued to interrogate criminologist Takuichi Matsumoto. On this day, he further attacked the attitudes and methods of police officers and criminologists in collecting and preserving evidence.

The police were also quite helpless, defending: "After the earthquake, it is obviously impossible to complete all the collection work meticulously." With such a high level of work intensity, it is already rare to be able to retain the current evidence. But under Ito's repeated questioning, Takuichi Matsumoto, despite his tough attitude, could not help but be speechless, and finally admitted: "This is a fatal mistake that should not be made." ”

Ito Kenfuku attacked forcefully, his hands standing in the center of the courtroom gesturing incessantly, shaking his fingers in a challenge, and his expression of anger and disdain when talking about the irregularity of evidence collection and the possibility of contamination.

Takuichi Matsumoto, on the other hand, calmly dealt with Ito's offensive, without the slightest hint of panic and humiliation. He always pauses for a long time before answering a question, even for a fairly simple question.

Takuichi Matsumoto acknowledged other serious mistakes by the police: the police did not summon criminologists to the crime scene long after they found traces of gasoline burning on the body. They did not fence off the entire basement three floors of the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel with yellow police belts. Not enough attention was paid to the process of collecting evidence, and it was only a mechanical record, and no investigation was carried out. It was in such a stalemate that Ito Kenfuku bit Mr. Takuichi Matsumoto on the witness stand and did not let him get out easily.

Then Ito Kenfu released a video of the police collecting evidence, and there was a brown object, which was the glove with the blood stains of Yoshito Kitagawa found on the first floor. That glove was ignored countless times, stepped on a lot of feet, and finally Takuichi Matsumoto, who found him, picked it up casually.

Ito slowed down the video over and over again - and then he asked, "Officer Takuichi Matsumoto, are you the person up there?"

Takuichi Matsumoto hesitated, nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

"Look here!Look here!" exclaimed Lawyer Kenfu Ito, triumphantly, "what is your comment, Officer Takuichi Matsumoto?"

Takuichi Matsumoto was furious by this question, and he pouted unpleasantly and said, "I've never touched that glove with my hand." It's definitely not a glove of evidence, I can't figure out what it is. But I know it's not that glove!" Takuichi Matsumoto said, a little flustered, and then argued angrily.

However, the video shows him holding gloves found at the crime scene with his hands, and unlike what he insisted, he personally adhered to professional ethics, and he did not wear any latex gloves at all during the collection of evidence.

Kenfuku Ito said proudly, "This glove may still have your DNA on it, and I have deep doubts about your professional ethics......... Can this evidence be used as evidence?" Ito then bowed to the presiding judge and said, "I highly suspect that your police have falsified this so-called evidence in order to avoid responsibility for dereliction of duty, so I implore the judge to rule that the evidence is invalid........

Seeing that the situation was not good, the prosecution represented Baba Shinoyan and applied to the presiding judge, Kenzo Murata, for an adjournment of the trial, waiting for the return of important witness Miki Morimoto.

The two-day trial can be described as a big victory for Cheng Xiaoyu and Kitagawa Yoshito, if the police even take the only evidence to shoot is judged invalid because the procedure does not comply with the norms, then the prosecution can only withdraw the case.

When Cheng Xiaoyu, who was wearing a blue slim-fitting suit and a narrow bee tie, walked down from the dock, applause and scolding rang out.

Because the victim's family carried the remains of the five dead people to court, it became the front page headline on the first day, giving a lot of pressure to public opinion, and when the victims' families still went to court like this on this day, they met opponents, Zhu Wei invited the relatives of Arai Takayuki, Mizutani Kuro and others, holding the last words of the deceased who were killed by Kawaguchi Yuan and others and the families of Kawaguchi Yuan and others to sit next door.

The families of Takayuki Arai and Kuro Mizutani received large donations from Cheng Xiaoyu after the earthquake, and they were naturally grateful to Cheng Xiaoyu, and they were enemies in addition to Kawaguchi, so they naturally stood on Cheng Xiaoyu's side without reservation.

As soon as the court adjourned, the two sides almost fought, and the courtroom was in a commotion........ There seems to be a tendency to turn into a farce.
