Chapter 19: There is a turning point

Qin Yan closed the notebook in her hand heavily, and said in a low voice: "Ye Feng, I have been working as a lawyer for seven or eight years, and I have participated in no less than 100 cases, and I have also served as a defense lawyer for some murder suspects like you, but there is one thing, in all the cases I have defended in the past, those murder suspects have more or less obtained some commutations under my efforts, either from immediate execution of the death penalty to a suspended death sentence, or to life imprisonment, but no matter what, They all end up going from murder suspects to murderers and going to prison, which means that they are all real murderers. But you are different, through my investigation during this time, I can clearly feel that there are too many loopholes and lack of evidence, and even perjury, you may really be framed, you may not be the real murderer at all, that is to say, the object of my defense this time is very likely to be a good person who has been wronged and framed. ”

Ye Feng was aroused by Qin Yan's words, he also looked at her directly, and said in a low voice: "Lawyer Qin, then now do you really believe me, are you sure that Liu Yong has a problem, will you believe that he and Liu Meimei are the real murderers?" ”

Qin Yan shook her head, regained her previous calm and calm expression, and said: "I have a lot of doubts about this case, but it doesn't mean that I will fully believe your words, maybe you think that what I say is very contradictory and formulaic, but this is the attitude that a lawyer should have, as a lawyer, the only thing I believe in is evidence, until I get effective evidence, I will not make any assessment of your case, I am not a policeman, nor a judge, I am just a lawyer, do you understand?" ”

Ye Feng smiled bitterly and said, "I understand, so what you just said was preceded by the words maybe and maybe." ”

Qin Yan smiled and said: "Ye Feng, you don't have to be frustrated, let alone be discouraged, after the trial starts, the prosecutor will ask you some questions, you just need to tell the truth, Liu Yong and Liu Meimei, as parties to the crime scene, will also testify in court as important witnesses, I, as your defense lawyer, will also ask them questions, I will raise all the questions about your case in court when I question the witnesses, I will focus on the cremation of the body and the signature of the family. I am confident that the trial judge will make a fair judgment. ”

Ye Feng doesn't know if the judge will be impartial, to be honest, since this incident happened, Ye Feng has unconsciously resisted and questioned the fairness and justice of this society, especially as a little migrant worker with no background, even if this incident does not happen, how many people can be treated and respected fairly in the society?

After nine o'clock, Ye Feng was brought into the courtroom by the bailiff, and after entering the defendant's dock, Ye Feng didn't have the heart to see who the judges in charge of hearing Ye Feng's case were, he just turned around and looked at his mother and co-workers who were sitting not far behind him, smiled at them, and then turned around and lowered his head, silently waiting for the official trial.

After the trial officially began, a female presiding judge sitting opposite Ye Feng first announced the list of judges and clerks who appeared in court today, and then informed Ye Feng of some of his due procedural rights. Then a clerk's tag at a desk reads out the courtroom discipline first, followed by the prosecutor making the case and so on and so forth.

Ye Feng didn't want to listen to what these people said, but he really hoped that this trial would end soon, and then send him back to the detention center, Ye Feng suddenly felt that standing here to accept the trial was purely a waste of time, because no matter what these people said and did, no matter how much evidence they presented against him during the trial, no matter how much Qin Yan could defend him, it didn't matter anymore, when Ye Feng really stood in the defendant's seat, his mood became extremely calm.

In front of the Nine Star Space, after Ye Feng really learned the soul technique, these people, these things, what is it, the only thing he needs now is time.

Ye Feng believed that by the time the second court session was held, he would be able to completely turn things around, what Qin Yan's questions and defenses, what forensic perjury, and what Liu Yong's background and power, in the face of the immortal family's spells, they were all floating clouds.

When he suddenly understood this, Ye Feng felt that his state of mind suddenly became much clearer, as if he had received an invisible sublimation.

This feeling was very wonderful, and it also made Ye Feng very happy, because the law of space had reminded him that the Nine Star Space was omnipotent, and it could instantly improve his cultivation, and he could be given heaven and earth treasures after meeting certain conditions, but it could not improve and change his state of mind.

The improvement of the state of mind requires Ye Feng to perceive, to understand, to experience, and to experience.

Cultivating the truth, to a certain extent, is the most difficult thing to cultivate, that is, the state of mind, the state of mind is not enough, and no matter how high the cultivation is, it cannot be fully developed.

So in the whole trial process that followed, Ye Feng only opened his mouth twice, once when the prosecutor questioned him, Ye Feng replied truthfully according to Qin Yan's instructions, and the central idea was one meaning, insisting that he did not kill anyone. Another time was when he made a Zuihou statement, he only said two sentences, the first sentence was that he was framed and wronged, and the second sentence was that the person who framed and wronged him was Liu Yong, who was the captain of the criminal police detachment in the Yangtze River District Public Security Bureau, and his girlfriend Liu Meimei.

As for Liu Meimei and Liu Yong appearing in court as witnesses during the period, accusing Ye Feng of murder and stealing treasures, Ye Feng ignored them, he even lowered his head after just looking at them and never looked at them again, especially Liu Meimei, when Ye Feng looked at her, she obviously didn't dare to look directly at Ye Feng, Ye Feng bowed his head not because he was afraid of them or hated them, but because he felt that there was no need for that at all.

Ye Feng temporarily gave up this opportunity to defend and question the witnesses in court, and he told Qin Yan that this opportunity should be left for the next court session, so that Qin Yan could submit his appeal to the presiding judge, and the presiding judge agreed to Ye Feng's request after consulting with the trial judge.

Perhaps it was Qin Yan's question to Liu Yong that did cause the same doubts and suspicions to the judge, who demanded that the police and the forensic doctor must provide proof of the deceased's cremation site and the consent of the family.

According to the basic principles of law, whoever proposes it will present evidence, so if Qin Yan raises defense questions, then relevant evidence needs to be presented, and Qin Yan's key evidence is two audio recordings.

These two recordings, one is the whole Q&A when Qin Yan communicated with the forensic doctor, and the other is the whole recording when she returned to the criminal police detachment to find Liu Yong.

This made Ye Feng also very surprised, before he was in the detention room, Qin Yan did not tell him anything about the recording in advance.

I have to say that Qin Yan's sharp eloquence, careful thinking and highly logical counter-evidence played a crucial role in the entire case, making the whole case take a turn for the better.

With Qin Yan's help and Ye Feng's on-site appeal, Ye Feng was given a second chance to hold the trial, and successfully asked the judge to make a decision to re-examine the relevant case files, evidence, and witness testimony involved in the whole case, and required the police and court staff to contact the family of the deceased and the funeral home where the deceased was cremated as soon as possible.

It also ordered a special person to conduct an isolated review of the forensic doctors involved in the case.

Up to now, the wind direction of the development of the case has changed significantly, and the final result of the first trial is more or less favorable to Ye Feng.

After the end of this first trial, Ye Feng met his mother again in the detention room, and solemnly thanked her for taking care of her mother in front of Qin Yan. At the same time, Ye Feng clearly learned from Qin Yan that the second-instance trial time of his case was set for a week later.

A week's time may still be a little tight, but as long as he works hard, he should be able to smoothly advance his cultivation progress to ninety percent.

If everything goes well, then when the second trial starts, he can stage a wonderful Jedi counterattack in front of Qin Yan, the judge, and his mother and co-workers.

At that time, his fate will truly be controlled by himself, and Liu Yong and Liu Meimei, as well as the police who tortured him to extract confessions, will pay a terrible price for what they did.
