Chapter XIV: Trial in court
Seeing Dai Jianmin's departure, Lin Jingran took out a piece of information and read it carefully.
If Xu Yiming was here, he would be shocked and stunned to see this detailed report on his childhood primary school career.
Because of her background and strong personality, although Lin Jingran is 26 years old, she is still single, and even the suitors who write about the honeycomb are cold.
No matter which aspect, Lin Jingran is definitely the best woman, with a beautiful appearance, a talented net worth and a mysterious background, which makes Lin Jingran the dream lover of all young talents in Jiangcheng City and Jiangbei Province.
She also knows the thoughts of Tao Mingyu, the son of an official eunuch, and a few days ago, she laughed at Tao Mingyu's crazy pursuit of her.
If it weren't for the need for group development, some businesses would have required the approval of Tao Mingyu's father, Lin Jingran would not even agree to the other party's invitation to dinner, but she didn't expect the other party to dare to use her to entertain and calculate her.
even bribed his own secretary, so that he was drugged, if it wasn't for Xu Yiming's mistake, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Lin Jingran's pretty face, which was as cold as frost, made it even worse, and even made people feel that a cold air was coming to their faces invisibly.
"Tao Mingyu, this account, I will settle it with you sooner or later!"
It's just that I never thought that my virgin body would fall into such a teenager.
But what a cold woman, for her first man, she can't really let go, not to mention that the other party is not a good match in her heart.
After reading Xu Yiming's information, Lin Jingran muttered: "Adopted by a veteran who participated in the Southern Xinjiang Campaign, living in a small fishing village near the Marine Corps garrison, with good skills and good grades, he graduated from high school and was admitted to the National Defense Student College of Jiangcheng University, because he led his grandfather to pass away, he dropped out of Jiangcheng Tingchaoxuan to be a waiter!" ”
Judging from these materials, if Xu does not have an accident, Xu Yiming will study at the National Defense Student College of Jiangcheng University, and he may be a young and promising officer in the future. It may even be enough to become a general in a few decades.
But he has become a waiter, he has become a murderer, and the fate of the other party has deviated from the predetermined track because of his appearance.
Lin Jingran muttered to herself: "Did you really kill Tao Mingyu's driver in order to save me?" ”
Tao Mingyu's driver is actually his bodyguard, a teenager who has just graduated from high school, can fight a bodyguard with high professionalism with his bare hands, how much force should be against the sky?
After a while, Lin Jingran stood up from the soft and high-end leather office chair and walked out of the company.
After Xu Yiming was held in the Jiangcheng Municipal Bureau No. 1 Detention Center for five days, the Jiangcheng City No. 1 People's Court formally accepted his homicide case and scheduled for trial on the sixth day for approval.
The rare efficiency of the people's court made everyone know that this case was unusual, and behind this case was faintly pointing to the son of Tao Zheng, the most powerful executive vice mayor of Jiangcheng.
Who is Tao Zheng? This year, the leadership of Jiangcheng City has changed, and it is a popular candidate to run for the mayoral throne, so people with a little attention can come to an astonishing conclusion, this is another poor worm who has been sacrificed in front of power.
The next day, early in the morning, Xu Yiming was escorted by heavily armed special police officers to the Jiangcheng No. 1 People's Court in a police car.
When he walked into the trial hall, Xu Yiming quickly scanned the trial bench and saw that there were hundreds of people in the black press.
Teachers and students from the law schools of several well-known universities in the city should have participated in the audit.
There are even many familiar faces, of course, Tingchaoxuan's colleagues, the boss Wen Ruyu, the chef Lao Luo and even the brother Huang Weiye, all of whom are impressive, letting him know that there are indeed people behind him who are running for evidence for his case.
He was escorted by the bailiff to the dock where he was standing, his leg cuffs had been removed, but he was still handcuffed, and he was wearing a small red vest with the words "Defendant" printed on it.
He went to look at both sides of the courtroom again, and on the plaintiff's bench, Tao Mingyu was standing with him energetically, this was the second time he saw Tao Mingyu after he was framed as a murderer.
is different from the appearance of kneeling and begging for mercy in the villa, now Tao Mingyu's eyes are full of gloom, looking at him with a crazy gaze, with an expression of looking at the dead.
Xu Yiming knew that in the eyes of the other party, he was already a dead person, if it wasn't for some kind of rule, even Tao Mingyu would have sent someone to kill him.
Sitting in the defense lawyer's seat for the defense of the defense is familiar to him - Huang Yuanbo.
Because he had contact with Huang Yuanbo in reality, Xu Yiming knew his fate. He is not worried about the outcome of today's trial, because there is no worst outcome, except death or death.
The first step of the trial was to go through the motions, the public security organs submitted the case file, and then the plaintiff's lawyer questioned the defendant and eyewitnesses at the time of the crime, including Tao Mingyu and others.
The fact that the defendant Xu Yiming illegally injured others is irrefutable, because the scene of the fight between the two was filmed by the hotel's surveillance video, and there was no denial at all.
Even broke into private houses, injured bodyguards and housekeepers, these policemen were present to testify, and there was no way to deny it, if it weren't for the killers who were shot by Xu Yiming, who had murders on their bodies, unknown sources, and couldn't put them on the table, then Xu Yiming really had only one way to die.
Now the only point of contention between the two sides is whether the victim was really strangled to death by Xu Yiming as the police investigated.
For this reason, the plaintiff's lawyer also specially presented to the court a forensic identification of Xu Yiming's fingerprints left in the neck of the deceased Tang Bing.
And the deceased died of suffocation, which has been forensically verified and the evidence provided by the police shows that it is actually quite unfavorable to Xu Yiming.
If there were no surprises, the presiding judge could almost pronounce the verdict on the spot.
Of course, according to the usual practice, the presiding judge still has to leave time for the defendant's lawyer to appeal, he looked at the defense lawyer Huang Yuanbo and asked, "Defense lawyer, do you have anything you need to ask?" ”
Huang Yuanbo is still dressed in a strict black suit and leather shoes, and it seems that lawyers are dressed like this.
Hearing the presiding judge's question, he stood up from his position, bowed slightly to the judge and several clerks of the jury, and said calmly: "Honorable presiding judge and jurors, first of all, I have doubts about the materials issued by the prosecution for the motive for the killing!" ”
It is normal for the defense to be suspicious of the evidence, and it has become an international practice, so there was no stirring at the scene.
Huang Yuanbo continued: "The plaintiff is the son of the deputy mayor, and the defendant is a restaurant waiter, what is the relationship between the two, what is involved in their questioning, and it has touched the hearts of many people.
Is the defendant Xu Yiming convicted of being a murderer, a 19-year-old high school graduate who just entered the city from the countryside, why did he go down the road of crime?
There was no motive for all this, and even why did he kill Tang Bing, that is, Mr. Tao's driver? Is it just because Mr. Tao said that I and you had a dispute in the restaurant, and then Xu Yiming followed him to the hotel and killed his driver?
This kind of inference is obviously different, and at the same time, why does Xu Yiming want to fight with Tang Bing, what is the willingness in this? Let the defendant tell the truth for himself! ”
"I hope that the presiding judge and the jurors will allow the defendant to speak in the following proceedings!" After speaking, Huang Yuanbo bowed slightly and sat down again. The presiding judge looked at Xu Yiming and asked, "Defendant, do you have anything to say?" ”
"Yes." Xu Yiming nodded slightly, stood up, and said, "It was in the bathroom of the restaurant that I heard Tao Mingyu talking to his driver, saying that he wanted to drug the female customer, so in order to learn the truth and rescue the victim woman, I tracked him to the hotel, but I didn't expect to be discovered by Tang Bing, so I started a dispute with the other party, I asked for the woman, but I didn't kill the other party." ”
As soon as Xu Yiming's words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and Tao Mingyu's face became angry.
Although the other party said the truth, but the other party said such a thing, he lost face in public, which is simply unforgivable.
As far as the current national situation is concerned, no one can say anything about this kind of thing, but most of them agree with Lawyer Huang's opinion, after all, everyone has a psychological sympathy for the weak.
"Defense lawyer, do you have any evidence to prove that what the defendant said is true?" The presiding judge waved his hand and gestured to Huang Yuanbo.
Huang Yuanbo nodded and stood up, "Presiding Judge, yes, there is a victim woman on my side who testifies in court!" ”
"There are witnesses!" The presiding judge announced.
Soon, Xu Yiming saw a woman who surprised him sit on the witness stand under the protection of the bailiff.
At this time, Xu Yiming never dreamed that Huang Yuanbo had not told him beforehand, and Lin Jingran attended in person as a witness.
When Xu Yiming looked at Huang Yuanbo, the other party smiled bitterly, in fact, he didn't know that Lu Daolin Jingran would appear in the court.
Lin Jingran frowned habitually, and glanced at Tao Mingyu with a cold and serious gaze.
This aura alone made Tao Mingyu on the plaintiff's bench shudder.
didn't even look at Xu Yiming, it seemed that the two didn't know each other at all, and they were as strange as passers-by.
Because of Lin Jingran's appearance, the case has improved, but because the defendant is still unable to find strong evidence to get rid of it.
Although Xu Yiming's suspicion of killing Tang Bing is excusable, killing people is a matter after all, so after the decision of the jury and the presiding judge, Xu Yiming's murder case was sentenced to life imprisonment.
It was indeed done, the bottom line in Lin Jingran's heart - to save people's lives.
But this result was unbearable for Xu Yiming, he was originally an orphan, and even trained by Xu Guangrong, the old man of the family, to be wild.
If he hadn't just come to Jiangcheng and was not familiar with the place, he would have hidden the bad roots of his temperament very well, otherwise after he dropped out of school, he would not be a waiter in Jiangcheng, but a street gangster.
Therefore, seeing that he was escorted by the bailiff, Tao Mingyu was escorted by the bailiff and walked out of the trial hall.
Although they were all surrounded by bailiffs, with two completely different attitudes, Xu Yiming was like an enraged tiger in the forest, his eyes were bloodshot.
I don't know why Lu Dao didn't know what reason Lu Dao was, Tao Mingyu, who originally left the trial hall from the opposite direction with Xu Yiming, walked to Xu Yiming's side despite being stopped by the bailiff.
For him, looking at the little people who are destined to spend the rest of their lives in prison, Tao Mingyu even has the pleasure of manipulating the life and death of others.
This is power, since he decided to step on people, Tao Mingyu didn't mind, and after the exhaustion point Xu Yiming's desire to survive was the worst, so he walked to Xu Yiming's side, and said in a voice that only two people could hear:
"I don't know what is alive or dead, I just ruined my good deeds, you are dead, even if Lin Jingran's girl comes forward in person, it can't change the fate of your death!"
