Chapter 21 Improper Conduct Testimony

Because of the emergence of new witnesses, the public trial meeting was reconvened, and Shi Lei and Mu An were sitting on two chairs, one on the left and one on the right, with a small step in between.

Offstage were a group of faculty and staff representatives and a group of student union representatives as public decision-makers.

When the "fake old man" trembled and stepped on the steps, Shi Lei pretended to tidy up his pants, stood up suddenly, and condescendingly glanced at the thin "fake old man" with the advantage of height, and scared people into stumbling before slowly pulling out the chair.

The "fake old man" hunched over and stammered to tell the truth of that day: "That day, I was hiding behind a curtain, and I saw the man who stole the diamond...... It's Shi Lei. Be...... It's him, it's him who pretends to go to his backpack to get it...... Take something, in fact he is not...... Take something, he's ...... He's stealing ......."

"What? You are talking nonsense, I can't hear you. Please, look me in the eye, and say it again! Shi Lei sat on the chair and suddenly shouted.

The "fake old man" was so drunk that he shrunk as a person, lifting his shoulders up, but burying his head down, like a turtle with a shrunken head.

"May I ask if Young Master Shi is disturbing the witnesses?" Ji An glanced at Shi Lei.

"No, I just think it's weird. Why don't the witnesses have the courage to say a word? If the truth is telled, why is it so shrunk? Shi Lei stared straight at the "fake old man", and the "fake old man" of the Li Sejiao had just raised his head, and immediately lowered his head.

Just like Shi Lei said, the "fake old man" seemed to be too weak-hearted, and several teachers and student union representatives who were responsible for making decisions at the teaching site couldn't help frowning.

This kind of talk is like in a courtroom, where the defense lawyer of a degraded offender often asks the victim; "If you were forced to do so, why didn't you call the police right away, but a few days later?" These seemingly plausible inferences, which have no evidence, can often influence the judgment of the person making the decision.

Ji An tilted his head sideways, and immediately retorted: "Isn't it strange? There are also many people who stand up in court to testify against murderers, and they seem to be more weak than murderers - in fact, is it a weak heart, or is it fear? Of course, it may not be very appropriate for me to compare the murderer with Young Master Shi, after all, ......"

Ji An paused, and then said calmly: "After all, not every murderer has the background of Young Master Shi, the thought of the aftermath is enough for the witnesses to tremble, such a background is not common, isn't it?" ”

Ji An was originally an unreasonable person, and he was even more justified at the moment.

"Enough, now is the public trial, not the quarrel meeting, from now on, only those who stand on the steps can speak, please take turns to speak, don't disturb the order again." A faculty member in the audience took the microphone and issued a warning.

Ji An pursed his lips angrily, this person didn't stop Shi Lei when he spoke, but he only issued a warning when he retorted, who the heavenly scale was inclined to couldn't be more obvious.

The noise of the left and right pinching finally disappeared, and the "fake old man" lowered his head and stroked a blue bracelet on his hand—which Tong Ling had tied to him yesterday.

"I want to see you who are brave enough to speak the truth, no matter what someone says to you tomorrow, even if it is to intimidate you, you must remember that I am watching you." Tong Ling's delicate voice still lingered in his ears.

The "fake old man" took a deep breath, picked up the remote control, the projector lit up, and the day's monitoring record appeared on the screen - it was the part that Mu An and Fang Ting had seen in the security room, only to see him hiding behind the curtain on the screen, and then Shi Lei and others appeared one after another.

"The surveillance of the day couldn't capture what happened after Shi Lei's classmates turned around, everyone just had a preconceived idea that he just turned around and took out a flashlight, but I saw it, from my point of view, I could see it clearly, Shi Lei put the diamond in his hand in his backpack, and then replaced a few fake diamonds, and then as everyone saw, he in turn accused Mu An of stealing the original real diamond in public...... "The fake old man mustered up his courage and spoke fluently as if he was possessed."

As soon as the words of the "fake old man" fell, the audience was in an uproar.

Then it was Shi Lei's turn to step on the steps to defend himself.

At the moment when the two of them alternated on the steps, the "fake old man" had a trace of cowardice, but when he touched the blue bracelet, his whole body was like being filled with courage, and he did not flinch for the first time, but looked directly into Shi Lei's eyes, straightened his body and stepped down the steps.

Shi Lei caught a glimpse of the bracelet in the man's hand, and his eyebrows instantly knotted as if he was about to form a twist, but he quickly calmed down.

"Guys, what did you see in the video just now? You don't see the so-called 'not taking things, but stealing things', and all the accusations against me, in this surveillance, there is no real evidence, the so-called evidence is just based on one person's words. But can he be trusted by this man? Shi Lei paused at the right time and looked around.

"This so-called witness...... From the surveillance just now, you can see that he is a sneaky stalker! Voyeurism! What kind of integrity does a person have in such a person? A person like him, even if he stands in court, will be judged as an untrustworthy witness. I dare to say that with my Shi Lei's human and financial resources, it is not very difficult to buy a person as a witness, and I can just buy a dozen people with bad conduct like him! What will happen then? Oh~ A random person stood up and said; 'I saw it, it was Shi Lei who stole something! '; Then another random person stood up; "No, no, no, I saw it, it was Mu An who stole it...... Isn't that interesting? Shi Lei's words were intended to minimize the credibility of the witnesses.

"Therefore, I beseech you, use your rational brains to judge whether this witness is credible. Is this so-called evidence credible? Rather than hearsay, and the words of a person who is not right, will you go back to the original point, see is believing, and believe that your eyes are the most real? Shi Lei finally concluded with a series of rhetorical questions.

I have to say that Shi Lei at least loses in terms of momentum, and he uses the stain of the "fake old man" to make a big fuss, at least in terms of diverting attention.

Ji An glanced at some of the people in the audience who nodded, still did not change their faces, and clapped their hands leisurely, as if they were confident.
