Chapter 53: Testifying

Although the evidence in the hands of the police is enough to convict them, the confessions of the parties are still very strong evidence, and can even affect the judge's final evaluation, because in addition to abduction, they are also involved in crimes such as rape and abuse.

But no parent would want their children to come out to testify, Cong Jun's big boss hurriedly came over to pick up his daughter and even gave a hush money, he didn't want anyone to know that his child had such an unbearable experience.

Other parents had the same attitude, coming all the way to pick up their children, thanking them a thousand times, but each pair of parents picked up their children as quickly as possible.

Liu Yu was very angry about this matter: "Obviously, we all said that we didn't need the child to appear in court, but we just needed a confession, why did we suddenly change our minds?" ”

"Pity the hearts of parents all over the world."

Chang Yan sighed, "This is also something that cannot be helped. ”

Wu Tao usually doesn't like to speak, and he couldn't help but open his mouth at this time: "I heard that they hired a very famous lawyer?" ”

Chang Yan nodded: "Yes, it's very famous, the kind that can say black is white for money." ”

Bai Ping also stopped tapping on the keyboard: "Then we can't do anything?" ”

"Everything has been transferred to the courts."

Chang Yan exhaled lightly, "The next thing is not something we can control." ”

Liu Yu was looking forward to a miracle, and her first reaction was to find the captain: "Hey, where is the captain?" ”

Jing Chu is talking to Xiao Qi at this moment.

Xiaoqi is different from other children with parents, she is an orphan, she was raised by her grandmother when she was young, and when she was fifteen years old, her grandmother died, and she lived alone, and then she was half kidnapped and half abducted to the Love Welfare Institute, because no one picked her up, Chang Yan left her to live in her own home during this time.

Today she wore a thick cotton jacket and hid at the staircase and whispered Jing Chu out, and the two of them were talking in the empty office.

Jing Chu listened to her intentions, and his expression was a little complicated: "Is this your decision?" ”

"Yes, I accidentally heard Sister Chang talking to you on the phone yesterday."

Xiaoqi seemed a little embarrassed, "I decided to do it myself, I've already thought about it." ”

Jing Chu said: "Do you know what you will face? ”

He looked at the thin girl in front of him and said slowly, "You will say all the unbearable things you have suffered in front of many people, and the other party's lawyer will ask you very, very sharp and embarrassing questions, question your intentions, doubt your rhetoric, and make you worthless, and even, he will reverse right and wrong, saying that you are all voluntary, and his client is seduced by you, do you understand?" ”

Jing Chu knew too well what would happen in court, there was once a girl who was strong enough to stand in court and say what misfortune she had suffered, but the other party's lawyer was so sharp and asked such harsh questions, he still remembers to this day: "Did he take off your clothes, or did you take it off yourself?" ”

"Aren't you seducing him?"

"You gave up resisting, and you had sex with him of your own free will."

Obviously, the girl said that she was threatened and afraid of being killed so she gave up resisting, but when it came to the lawyer's mouth, it was she who voluntarily had sex with the other party.

The girl was embarrassed and criticized, and the scumbag was so proud that there was no sentence at all.

Later, the girl committed suicide.

Xiao Qi looked at him in shock: "...... Will it be like this? ”

"Yes, you will suffer a hundred times more humiliation than that, so I do not recommend that you testify in court."

Xiao Qi clenched her hands and wrung her fingers: "But, if I don't testify, won't they be convicted of a felony?" ”

"That's the judge's business, we'll do what we can, and I'm very glad you're willing to come forward and testify."

Jing Chu said gently, "But I personally don't recommend you to do that, although this suggestion is not in line with my profession, I still want to say that, you are a strong child, you still have a future, I hope you can forget about this matter and start living again." ”

Xiaoqi mustered up her courage: "I'm not afraid, I want those people to be punished, I want to do something for myself and others, I don't want them to get away with it." ”

Jing Chu was silent for a moment and said, "I still suggest you think about it more. ”

But Xiaoqi had already made up her mind: "I know it's not an easy task, but during that time, I was thinking every day, if I could take revenge, what would I do, I thought every day if I could stab them to death with a knife, but no, I was afraid, I didn't dare." ”

Speaking of this, her body trembled slightly, "But now, just want me to stand up, why don't I, I want them to know what that group of people have done to us, captain, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of losing face, I'm only one person, I'm not afraid." ”

Her pretending to be strong made Jing Chu's heart very sad, and for a while, he remembered Yang Mianmian.

"If you really decide, I will find someone to simulate the questions that the opposing lawyer will ask you at that time, if you feel that you can't bear it, you can stop at any time, Xiaoqi, you are already very brave, if you regret it, each of us can understand."

"No, I've already decided."

Everyone in the special case team was surprised and moved when they learned that Xiao Qi was willing to testify, Chang Yan and Jing Chu had the same opinion, and they didn't want Xiao Qi's life to be twisted and turned again, she had already experienced enough misfortunes, and it would be best if she could start a new life quietly.

Everything she repeated in court could break her.

But Xiaoqi is very brave: "I'm not afraid. ”

She gave them confidence.

Jing Chu and Chang Yan spent a lot of effort and time on the simulated answer, Jing Chu's every question was very spicy and embarrassing, straight to the heart, Chang Yan stood aside and held Xiaoqi's hand, several times to cry, she said to Jing Chu: "I hope she can give up, there are only us here, but in front of so many people, I really can't imagine what kind of courage it takes to say that kind of thing over and over again, I am not as brave as her." ”

But Xiaoqi survived, even when they thought she would give up in the next second, she didn't.

"Can you recount that day?"

"I was taken to the room, and he raped me~."

"Are you sure it's a forcible ~ rape, you didn't resist."

"He threatened to kill me if I dared to resist."

"Did he hit you?"

"Hit."

"How did you hit you?"

"He dragged me by the hair and kicked me in the stomach, I begged him not to hit me, he slapped me, kicked me away, punched me on the head."

Xiao Qi stood on the witness stand, calmly and almost coldly recalling all the misfortunes she had suffered in the past year or so, those unsightly pictures, those difficult to look back on the past, little by little, were dissected and revealed in front of so many people.

She didn't have anything at all.

She was surrounded by everyone's gaze like a monkey.

Liu Yu had already cried several times, and secretly left the table and walked away, Chang Yan kept biting his lip, his back tightened.

But the old man over there angrily answered his lawyer's question: "No, I didn't, she took off her clothes and begged me to get on!" ”

"Scum!"

Chang Yan hammered the chair hard.

"Calm down."

Jing Chu said in a low voice, "It's just the beginning. ”

It was a long and arduous struggle, and although the opposing lawyer was clever and tried to reverse the facts, Xiaoqi's emotions were very stable and not defeated from beginning to end, and the evidence on the plaintiff's side was very abundant.

In the end, Cao Laoda and four others were sentenced to death as the ringleaders of the trafficking gang, and the rest were sentenced to prison terms ranging from 10 to 20 years.

The results were quite satisfactory, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At the door of the court, Chang Yan hugged Xiaoqi who came out: "You did so well, I'm proud of you." ”

"We're all proud of you, you're so brave."

Liu Yu's eyes were still red, like a rabbit, "No, captain, you must have a big dinner!" Let's celebrate! ”

Xiaoqi had already cried, and she laughed again when they said it, and after wiping her tears with tears after crying and laughing for a while, she looked at Jing Chu, as if she was waiting for his evaluation.

Jing Chu smiled at her: "You are a good boy who is strong. ”

Xiaoqi burst into tears and smiled, she hugged Chang Yan: "Thank you, Sister Chang." ”

Go and hug Jing Chu again, "Thank you, captain." ”

Jing Chu was so surprised by her hug that he took half a step back, Liu Yu smiled, and teased him: "Why do I think that starting from Mianmian, captain, you seem to be particularly popular with little girls...... Continuous? ”

Jing Chugang wanted to laugh and scold, "Don't talk nonsense"

, heard her call Yang Mianmian, he subconsciously turned his head, and saw Yang Mianmian standing on the steps not far away looking at them.

He watched her eyes turn red a little, and for a moment he felt at a loss, as if he was too reckless to walk over.

She didn't say anything, turned around and left, the thin back, his eyes were sour, and he didn't know why, he just felt that she was wronged, and he was really reluctant.

"I've got something."

He whispered an explanation and hurriedly followed.

Liu Yu was confused: "What kind of thing is this?" ”

Yang Mianmian walked quickly, but unfortunately her legs were short, so Jing Chu didn't have much effort to catch up with her: "Mianmian? ”

"Don't talk to me, or I'll kill you."

She kept her face composed, almost gritting her teeth and jumping out.

Jing Chu had no idea where she was provoking her: "What's wrong?" ”

"I've told you everything, don't talk to me!"

She frenzied, turned her head and looked at him viciously.

Jing Chu had never seen her so out of shape, and her heart kept sinking.

Yang Mianmian held back her tears, anxious to get rid of him, simply didn't walk, and walked directly over the wall, and a few ups and downs disappeared.

She was very aggrieved in her heart, and she didn't know why she was wronged, anyway, when she saw Xiaoqi rushing over and hugging him, her heart was almost bubbling with vinegar.

Angry is really angry.

She returned home in a daze, threw herself on the bed and burst into tears.

The pillow was soaked with her tears, and she didn't dare to say anything, and everyone was careful not to speak.

The pillow finally couldn't help but open his mouth, and as soon as he spoke, he cried: "Mianmian" ▽〒 Don't cry, I'm going to cry if you cry." ”

“…… I thought he should like me. ”

Yang Mianmian flattened her mouth, and her vision was blurred by tears.

She thought he should like her.

But at that moment, she wasn't sure.

Why is Jing Chu good to her?

He seems to have had kindness to her from the beginning, and it was not a man's love for a woman, but his own respect and care for the weak, for women and children.

This is his beautiful character, just as he will selflessly help Xiaoqi.

That was not the only care and care he gave her, this realization made the pride and pride in her heart all the time, and it collapsed in an instant.

In this world, there is still no one who really likes Yang Mianmian and likes her alone.

She was also a child that no one loved.
