Chapter 253: No Direct Evidence

The plaintiff submits its case-

On the night of June 18, the Lin siblings were invited to Locke's house as guests, but they had wolf ambitions and wanted to make money, and stole two things from Miss Luo's room that night, one was a gilded vase from the pre-Qin period, and the other was a posthumous work of Miss Luo's teacher. The former is invaluable, and the latter is of great significance.

And now that the priceless gilt vase has been recovered, the painting is still missing, and I don't know where it was hidden by the Lin family brothers and sisters.

The statement made by lawyer Meng, who represented the plaintiff, was obviously carefully embellished, trying to portray the Lin brothers and sisters as heinous murderers, and also portraying Luo Jun himself as a good father who loves his daughter.

Those who don't know the inside story will not know that they are just whitewashing his ugly deeds with high-sounding reasons.

The plaintiff himself did not make additions.

It is the turn of the accused to present -

The defendant has no representation and no defense lawyer, and can only be presented by the parties themselves.

It was the first time for coriander to speak in front of so many people and on such a solemn occasion, in fact, as soon as he entered the arena, he felt a lot of pressure, and at this moment, he was even more nervous with sweaty palms, trembling all over his body, knotted tongues, and incoherent when speaking.

His naivety was ridiculed by the plaintiff's side.

Lawyer Meng raised his voice to interrupt him, "It's such a big person, I can't speak clearly, I think you have a weak heart!" ”

The sound of the gavel suddenly sounded, causing the laughter of the lawyer group to stop abruptly, and Lawyer Meng's mocking expression that he had no time to retract froze on his face.

The deafening sound of the mallet has not yet fallen. Judge Jiang's very majestic voice, which was neither humble nor arrogant, sounded again, "Silence." In court, the plaintiff's defense lawyer is requested to be cautious in his words and deeds. ”

Lawyer Meng was dumbfounded, and muttered unconsciously: "Is there a mistake?"

Didn't you say that the presiding judge was also from their side?

He turned his head to look at Luo Jun and found that the latter's face was better than his and he couldn't see anywhere.

Lawyer Meng smiled strongly, and put on a confident posture to comfort Luo Jun, who was in a very bad mood, "Mr. Luo, don't worry, we have all the human and material evidence-" And the defendant didn't have anything, and the more he said, the more confident he became. "This lawsuit. We've won! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ So much better. Luo Jun thought to himself that Lawyer Meng was the leading figure in the legal profession, and his disciples were even more numerous.

And for the sake of this lawsuit. He ran around. It can be said that it is well prepared. But why is he still faintly uneasy?

Presiding Judge Jiang: "Please continue to make a statement."

Since the statement was interrupted, Coriander had a ringing in both ears, as if something had been buzzing in his ears to interfere with his hearing. He did not hear the presiding judge. I didn't even hear what the plaintiff had just said.

During the few days he was in the hospital, he couldn't do anything, and no one told him what to do. He thought about it a lot, but he didn't expect that their brother and sister would face such a situation today, being charged with trumped-up charges, and even to the point of going to court against someone, that person is still Luo Youyou's father......

So many pairs of eyes looked at him, containing different meanings as if they were going to pierce him to a thousand holes, forcing fear into his body, and Coriander felt every cell in his body tremble.

He panicked to the extreme, and suddenly felt a warmth in his hands, and lowered his head to meet the eyes of coriander that had no signs of wavering.

The temperature of his palm dispelled the chill all over his body, and Coriander heard Coriander whisper, "Brother, don't be afraid." ”

Encouraged by the gaze and reassuring words cast by the coriander, the coriander no longer felt so panicked.

The other party is just a little bigger, which is probably the so-called bluff.

Coriander thought of a black dog raised by a friend in his hometown, the black dog was very powerful and tall, and when he saw a living person, he either barked wildly or bared his teeth and roared, but no matter how scary it looked, no matter how powerful it barked, it would not pounce on people and bite it.

Luo Jun gave him a feeling very similar to the black dog, which looked scary, but it was actually not that scary.

Coriander can move forward bravely to wash away the stigma on their brother and sister, how can he, the elder brother, cringe? Not only did he not cower, but he had to act like a brother.

Coriander steadied herself and continued to speak, although her words were not very coherent, at least not as slurred as she had just been," ...... I dropped my sister off at Miss Luo's room, and after that I went home......"

Then Coriander added: "I left Locke's house around seven o'clock the next morning. "When I left, I didn't steal anything." ”

Coriander also clarified: "My sister and I didn't even steal vegetables from other people's fields, we didn't steal anything from the Luo family, and we didn't steal anything from other people's homes." ”

After confirming that the original defendant and the defendant had finished their statements and indicated that they would not make any unnecessary additions, the clerk under the courtroom announced that they had entered the courtroom debate session.

The plaintiff presented physical evidence, which was a gilded vase of antiquities from the pre-Qin period that was found in Lin's house a few days ago.

As soon as the exhibits were on display, they caught the eye. The vase is golden, ingenious, and it is not a vulgar thing at a glance. To put it simply, anyone who looks at it thinks it's a very valuable thing.

Coriander said: "I remember that I seemed to have seen that vase in Miss Luo Er's room that night, and I don't know how it was found in my house...... I really didn't steal. ”

The plaintiff's repeated mention of the painting reminded Coriander of the torture he had been subjected to in the dungeon of the Patrol Room, where the saltwater-soaked whip was whipped again and again, and the same question repeated over and over again in his ears.

Coriander was a little excited, "No matter how many times you ask me, my answer is still the same, I don't know why that vase is in my house, and I don't know where the painting is." ”

Cilantro tugged at his hand to calm his emotions.

She asked the presiding judge for instructions, "Presiding Judge, I have a few questions for the plaintiff. ”

With the permission of the presiding judge. Coriander looked straight at Luo Jun in the plaintiff's seat, and didn't pay attention to Lawyer Meng next to him and the lawyer team behind him at all.

Luo Jun was suddenly shocked, and his whole body tensed up involuntarily. After realizing it, he was secretly annoyed, he didn't expect that he would be affected by a little girl's film to such an extent.

Coriander said: "As we all know, President Luo's brother-in-law, who is not an ordinary person, is not an ordinary personβ€”"

Is that girl talking about tongue twisters?

Luo Jun was ready to catch the ball, but he didn't think that the coriander kicked over was not a straight ball, which made him a little confused about the direction for a while.

Before he could look at Lawyer Meng, the latter suddenly got up and shouted, "I protest!" ”

Looking at Judge Jiang's upright and stern eyes, Lawyer Meng looked a little embarrassed. He cleaned up the description a little. Look upright. He was a little more polite, "Judge Chief, I protest, this case has nothing to do with Inspector General William!" ”

Judge Jiang looked at coriander.

Coriander is not in a hurry. "I'm giving evidence to the court. Prove our brothers and sisters innocent. ”

"Protests are ineffective."

Presiding Judge Jiang has already made a judgment that cannot be ignored. At this moment, lawyer Meng said that no matter how much he said, it would be tantamount to openly challenging the authority of the judge, which would not benefit the plaintiff, and even more so would be detrimental to himself. He could only hold back the words that rushed to his lips.

He glanced at Lawyer Meng, who was flushed with a red face, as if provocatively. Coriander continued to speak: "Chief Inspector William is the plaintiff's brother-in-law, presumably because of this relationship, the plaintiff is also in the patrol world, and it is even easier to buy the patrol to frame our brothers and sisters. President Luo, may I ask you, you deliberately asked people to put the vase in my house, and the vase that was found from my house by the patrol that day was just for show, right? ”

In addition to his two daughters in the family, when was Luo Jun asked by a junior with such an aggressive tone? He was really angry, and he took the case, "It's a good talk!" Say that I framed you, please come up with tangible evidence! ”

"Isn't this clear, you used your connections to invite a whole team of lawyers, and you also bribed our defense lawyers, and for you, using the relationship of patrolling and arresting is also a piece of cake." Coriander made a gesture of spreading her hands at Luo Jun, and then faced the presiding judge from behind, "Judge, what I said is indirect evidence, right?" ”

Judge Jiang nodded in affirmation of Cilantro's words.

Lawyer Meng whispered to reassure the angry Luo Jun, "Mr. Luo, don't be impatient, circumstantial evidence cannot be used as the basis for a verdict. ”

Knowing this, Luo Jun couldn't calm down. A country girl actually rode on his neck to spread wild, how can he tolerate this?

"Let me ask the plaintiff again, the time of the crime was June 18, since you lost such an important thing in your house that day, why did you delay more than a week before reporting the case?"

Luo Jun had a gloomy face and said the answer that had been prepared for a long time, "It was my family's maid who was negligent in her duty - my daughter's room lost something valuable, and the maid who cleaned my daughter's room was afraid of being suspected, so she never reported the theft of things to me until my daughter-"

Cilantro interrupted him, "Plaintiff, don't you think it's too far-fetched to answer that?" You've said before that the painting you lost means a lot to your daughter, and since it's such an important painting, it must be hanging in the most prominent place on the wall of the room! How big is that painting, at least bigger than that vase, such a big painting hanging in such a conspicuous position on the wall, and still such an important painting, it took your daughter more than a week to remember to find it, it is not necessarily such an important thing, isn't this a contradiction to what you said before? ”

"You also said before that our brother and sister stole your family's things out of the interest of wealth," coriander pointed at herself with one hand and coriander and the other at herself, "Our brother and sister are natives of the country, without much education, in our eyes there is nothing else to value except gold and silver treasures, you say that we are interested in getting rich, stealing a gold vase from your family, this is reluctantly said in the past, framing us for stealing paintings, you also look up to us too much, where can we see if a painting is worth anything at our level of appreciation?" ”

Luo Jun snorted coldly, "Qubble!" ”

"I am a sin of desire, and there is no excuse for it." Coriander sneered softly and continued, "The last time Miss Luo Er was successfully rescued and came back from Yangcheng, she thanked our brothers and sisters for saving their lives, so she walked very close to us, and she has been in contact with my brother too much recently. A dignified lady actually made friends with a poor boy in the countryside or something, you can't get used to it, so you want to find a chance to get rid of our brothers and sisters, yes or no? ”

"Above the court. You actually took out those things written in the newspaper to spread rumors, do you still have a royal law in your eyes? ”

"It's ridiculous that the president, who is above the royal law, actually talked to me about the royal law! You framed our brother and sister as a revolutionary, maybe you can make us die a little faster, aren't you trying to make such a big detour, just to find that painting? The painting that is said to contain the secrets of the revolutionary partyβ€”"

Coriander's final speech is not unsurprising.

The audience was in an uproar.

Not to mention the plaintiff Luo Jun, even the three Rong Ji didn't expect that Coriander would reveal the secret of that painting.

Coriander was stunned, and didn't know which parsley was singing now.

Coriander insisted on singing the play, "Plaintiff, are you a revolutionary? ”

Lawyer Meng disregarded his manners. Shout out. "Protest! The defendant's question has nothing to do with the case! ”

"Protest ......"

Fortunately, Judge Jiang hesitated.

Otherwise, when he pronounced the verdict that "the protest was valid", Coriander would not have a chance to say the next words, "How can it not be related to this case?" I'm exposing the plaintiff's plan to kill two birds with one stone -- the painting was not stolen by our brother and sister, but the plaintiff framed us. He can get rid of us like pests around his precious daughter. If the painting is stolen by us, so much the better. It can get rid of pests. You can also find that painting. In the end, it doesn't matter if we steal it or not, as long as we can get rid of our brother and sister. Otherwise, our brother and sister will be tortured immediately after being arrested by the patrol? ”

Coriander's face moved, and she blurted out eagerly: "Coriander, they really did to youβ€”"

"Brother, I'm fine, but my mouth is a little dry." After all, so many things have been said.

Lawyer Meng didn't sit down again since he shouted "protest" just now, and looked at the coriander in a daze to finish his words, and only retorted after a while: "What you said is purely a conspiracy theory, please come up with tangible evidence!"

Coriander pointed to the evidence they provided to the court, which was the gilded vase, "If you can extract a fingerprint from that vase that matches our brother and sister, you don't have to fight the next lawsuit, I will immediately ask the presiding judge to declare that you win!" ”

Presiding Judge Jiang exchanged words with the judges for a while, and also appointed a clerk to go to the plaintiff's side to make some confirmation, and finally he made a final decision, "The plaintiff has not submitted fingerprint evidence, and the gilt bottles of the exhibits in this case cannot be included in the direct evidence for the time being." Ten minutes of recessβ€”"

As soon as the court adjourned, the audience became noisy.

There are two legal staff guarding the coriander behind her, and even if the court is adjourned, she cannot move freely.

Just by speaking, Coriander was already dry, and she didn't have the strength to get angry now, otherwise she would not only bombard Luo Jun, but maybe even rush up and punch him in the face.

"Brother, have you had a good meal these days?"

"Hmm." When he was hospitalized, Fujihiko sent someone to deliver delicious meals every day according to the agreement with coriander.

Seeing that Coriander was a little absent-minded, Coriander asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"What you just said......"

His sister was just a country girl, how could the parsley he knew say so many decent things?

"I've done a lot of homework these days -- rabbits bite people when they're in a hurry, let alone people. I'm also forced, and I can't let them bully us. She said convincing words, but Cilantro was empty in her heart, and she took the opportunity to smear oil on the soles of her feet, "I'll go drink saliva." ”

Coriander watched her walk out of the dock, and suddenly had an illusion, he just stopped and watched Coriander's back farther and farther away.

He didn't doubt that Coriander was reborn, but he was annoyed that he hadn't done enough, and felt that he was like a waste......

As soon as the coriander came, Fujihiko handed over the prepared kettle, "I knew that your mouth was so powerful that you could be used as a gun, so I didn't have to bother hiring any defense lawyer for you." ”

While she was drinking water, Ma Feng stroked his palms and said, "It's so wonderful, I can see Luo Jun's whole face when I sit here."

Rong Ying said: "It's good to make the matter of painting public, so that we don't need to send people around to take a walk."

The more people who know the secret of that painting, the more people who stare at it, the better it will be on their side.

Cilantro gasped, "Don't be too happy, the old lawyer over there is right, I can't produce direct evidence to prove our innocence now, and all I can do now is let the evidence they come up with become circumstantial evidence-"

Neither side of the original defendant can produce direct evidence, and it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose in this lawsuit.

"Next, Luo Jun will definitely get a certificate. Is your brother still coping with it? Fujihiko was a little worried.

It's not that he despises coriander, but the facts are in front of him-

This young man from the countryside may not have experienced such a storm when he is so old, especially when making a statement, anyone can see that he is very frightened. If he says the wrong thing afterwards, the game may be a dead game because of him.

On the other hand, Coriander doesn't know how her heart and eyes grow, maybe she grew up eating the heart of a bear and a leopard, she is not afraid of heaven and earth, and she is not afraid of the sky and the earth, and she is not afraid of the plaintiff at all, but she is pressing step by step, as aggressive as she usually does. She's in court. It's a bit of a true flavor.

Coriander looked back at the coriander in the dock, who was in a state of distraction and didn't know what she was thinking. An indescribable taste suddenly rose in my heart.

She knew, always known-

Knowing that he shouldn't be so active at any time, it's not a good thing that his sister's ability is stronger than his brother's. Look, the coriander is now like a jewel that has lost its luster. And the barrier that stopped him from radiating was his sister!

Parsley retracted her gaze. Chi Chi replied to Fuji Yantang: "Don't underestimate my brother."

Fujihikodo looked a little embarrassed. cramped: "I didn't mean to underestimate him, I was worried that he would take the initiative to take the charge in order to protect you."

Coriander furrowed her brow. looked unhappy, "Are you stupid when I am my brother, this crime is unwarranted, he took the initiative to take the charge to protect me, are you funny?" My brother has become a criminal, do you think this is the protection of my sister? In addition to protecting me from squatting in the room, can it protect me from cold eyes and discrimination outside? ”

The more he said it, the more wrong it became, Fujihiko simply didn't say it, and when he saw Coriander's cold face, he panicked in his heart.

"This lawsuit was provoked by me to fight for a while, you don't have to worry that our brothers and sisters will retreat."

Thinking that Fuji Yantang was impatient to see Luo Jun defeated, Coriander couldn't put aside the identity of "tool", and naturally became angry.

When Kong Zhiqiu was used as a tool to bring down Luo Jun, she didn't say it so angrily......

Fujihikodo was furious, and he was also annoyed, and the green tendons on his fist surfaced.

He changed his usual easy-going image, and argued with coriander in a cold voice, "Who is stupid in the end, I think you treat us as fools!" You think you're smart when you go and make a deal with the Japanese? ”

He is still haunted by Sora Zhiqiu's secret help to cilantro.

If he is prejudiced against the Japanese, put it aside, even if the person who Coriander ran to ask for help was not Sora Zhiqiu, but another man, he would still be unable to let go.

Coriander has always been very unhappy in her heart, and as soon as she was angered by Fuji Yantang, the anger in her stomach was vented out of control, "You said that you Rongji can protect our brothers and sisters, so I put my and my brother's lives in your hands, it is because you can't cover us, so I will ask others to help, otherwise I would have had the opportunity to stand there and fight a lawsuit with Luo Jun and them just now?" ”

The presiding judge's "protest was invalid", and she didn't even have a chance to speak, but fortunately, the presiding judge Huang who was bribed by Luo Jun was replaced.

Ma Feng hurriedly held down Fuji Yantang, if he didn't stop him, he was afraid that the two of them would fight here. He loves to be lively, but he doesn't like to let people see his own excitement.

Seeing that the coriander was really angry, Ma Feng didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to wait with a good voice, "If you have any anger, you will send it to Luo Jun later." After the matter is over, you will settle the ledger with Yantang. ”

"Poor ......"

Without waiting for Rong Ying to finish speaking, the coriander left in a negative mood.

As soon as she left, Ma Feng counted Fuji Yantang, "I said Yantang, what's wrong with you, usually you are not like this." You told me not to mess with her, you see how angry you made her. When something like this happens, she must have a fire in her heart, and she loses her temper at us, so you let her go. Aren't you usually more used to her than anyone else? ”

Fujihiko wiped his face, and he was also very self-blaming, but the restlessness in his heart just couldn't stop. The level of irritability made him nauseous.

He hid his face with one hand, hid the uneasiness in his eyes, and whispered: "I can't say it, that Japanese person feels very bad about me?"

"Jealous?" Ma Feng thought that his words had pierced his mind.

"No ......" is more than that.

Fujihiko couldn't describe it clearly, but could only say that Sorachiaki was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it was trickier than the opponents he had encountered in the past.

Hearing Fuji Yantang's denial, Ma Feng looked disappointed, "Since you care so much about that Japanese, I'll ask someone to check his identity when I go back." (To be continued.) )
