Yu Wenzhong's expression was full of resentment, and the words of protest were already in his mouth, and he finally swallowed after some consideration.

He has been invincible for so many years, and it is not that he has not been saddened by the judges on the trial seat, but the face he lost on the table has been recovered through the media after he came down.

He was the most fierce, and even couldn't withstand the pressure of public opinion and took the initiative to ask to be transferred from the trial post.

But today, this Ye special committee always gave him a bad feeling.

I always felt that this person had a great background, and the more I looked at it, the more familiar it became, but I never remembered where I heard this name.

Yu Wenzhong was still searching for the information of today's old judge who was specifically targeting him in his memory, Lan Gang raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and reminded Ling Li in words: "The victim's family entrusts a lawyer, although it is said that finding out the truth is one of the important meanings of the trial, but please pay attention to the time." ”

"Okay, presiding judge," Ling Li nodded, "If I ask three more questions, I won't ask any more questions about the relationship between Huang Zhicong, Li Zejun, and the defendant." ”

Hearing that there were only three questions, Yu Wenzhong's expression calmed down, and Qi Wan, who was handing him the information next to him, also had a much calmer expression.

Ling Li knew that it would not be easy to find a breakthrough from Zheng Qijie, but since he had decided to do it, he couldn't give up easily.

Yu Wenzhong wanted her to make a fool of herself in court, and she knew this very well. However, she is no longer alone in facing his criticism, not to mention, she still has an important task on her shoulders.

Ling Li quietly clenched her palms and began to ask what she thought was the most critical question: "Do you know that Li Zejun and Tang Aoxue have a relationship of mutual admiration?" ”

Zheng Qijie's natural expression: "I don't know." ”

His answer was crisp and neat, but because the answer came so quickly, everyone in the audience didn't even have time to remember what the question was.

Not including, of course, Li Zejun himself, who is sitting in the corner.

He stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, and he shouted, "That's not it, she's talking nonsense. ”

Almost as soon as Zheng Qijie's words fell, his abrupt voice sounded, so that except for two or three people who knew about it, the rest of the people thought that this "nonsense" was pointing to Zheng Qijie.

And Huang Zhicong next to him was full of dazedness, looking like he didn't know what was going on at all.

Lan Gang immediately said: "Observers, please be careful not to make noise in the courtroom, otherwise you will be expelled from the courtroom." ”

Li Zejun's face turned pale: "Lawyer Ling's statement is groundless and slanders my personal reputation, I must speak out." ”

Lan Gang frowned: "Let me remind you once again that if you stand up without the permission of the collegial panel and make a loud noise, you will be expelled from the courtroom." ”

Huang Zhicong pulled Li Zejun several times before letting him sit down.

Many of the observers knew his identity and had begun to talk in a low voice, and Lan Gang reminded him of court discipline several times before he gradually returned to quiet.

After that, Lan Gang looked at Ling Li: "The victim's lawyer, if there is no basis, please don't talk about it in court." ”

Ling Li bit her lower lip, looked directly at Lan Gang, secretly straightened her back, and raised her voice: "I have sufficient evidence for this, but it involves Principal Li's privacy, and I also ask the collegial panel to allow me to come down and submit information." ”

Unexpectedly, Yu Wenzhong, who had been looking for an opportunity to take advantage of just now, did not move, did not emphasize that Ling Li's submission of evidence had passed the time limit for presenting evidence, and only stared slightly, looking at the movement in the court.

Without Yu Wenzhong's statement, Lan Gang pondered for a moment, and after asking the collegial panel's opinion, he still shook his head: "Criminal proceedings have strict restrictions on the time limit for presenting evidence, and we do not agree to the request to submit evidence after the trial. ”

Ling Li just wanted to fight for it again, but the one in the defendant's seat moved.

Zheng Qijie said coldly: "Then it seems that Li Zejun has more motives to commit the crime than me." After all, I don't know Tang Aoxue, but he does, and he may be ruined because of Tang Aoxue. I have nothing, but he is the vice principal, and there are fewer people in high positions who are coerced by their lovers to kill people? ”

After a pause, he looked up: "Judge, prosecutor, look, did you get the wrong direction?" No wonder you can't find evidence, I feel wronged. ”

A bunch of people in the auditorium exchanged their heads and ears, Li Zejun's face was indescribably wonderful, and he silently endured the seemingly unexplored gaze around him, but he couldn't help but say nothing.

After all, being expelled from the court at this time will give the media more to talk about.

Yu Wenzhong was reminded by Zheng Qijie, so he naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and he couldn't wait to raise his hand, waiting for the presiding judge to nod and allow him to speak: "The defendant has emphasized many times in the questioning just now that whether it is Tang Aoxue, the victim of this case, or other people related to Tang Aoxue, the relationship between the defendant and the defendant is an ordinary colleague, and it is a normal working relationship between them. I don't know what the opposing lawyer intended, but I have gone far from the purpose of the court investigation. ”

After that, he turned his head and looked directly at Ling Li, a few traces of cruelty flashed in his eyes, and his voice was a little rougher: "Lawyer Ling, what purpose do you want to achieve by asking questions about the relationship between the victim and others three or four times?" Do you still want to tell the collegial panel that it was Li Zejun who killed his mouth and bought the murderer? I have to say, your imagination is too rich! ”

There was no movement on the judgment seat, because what Yu Wenzhong said was right.

The scope of Ling Li's questioning has exceeded the scope permitted by the law, and not only did he put forward unfounded arguments in court, but he was also suspected of confusing his eyes.

After all, in the procuratorate's indictment just now, there was no mention of Li Zejun.

The defendant has the right not to answer, and the full panel should even prevent hypothetical and obviously inducing questions outside the framework.

A cold light flashed in Yu Wenzhong's eyes: "Lawyer Ling, is it because of your experience when you were young, you are particularly sensitive to the relationship between older men and young women?" You must know that you are wasting the time of every judge, prosecutor and lawyer in this room by making such aimless speculations. ”

Ling Li was stared at by his eagle-like eyes, only to feel that the sharp gaze suddenly made people ignore his greasy middle-aged man's appearance, and could only notice the coldness in his eyes.

is a little different from the situation she expected, she seems to underestimate that Yu Wenzhong, as a lawyer, is naturally sensitive to the case, and also ignores Yu Wenzhong's ability to deduce the truth cultivated by being on the front line of criminal proceedings for a long time.

Lowering her eyes as she looked at the next question to be asked in her notebook, she suddenly hesitated.

This is a very critical question, if she can't break through Zheng Qijie's defense, will Yu Wenzhong really see through it, and you can understand in an instant that she seems to be aimless, but is actually tightly strung together by a name, which target is it really aimed at?

Ling Li was at a loss, and her hands and feet began to feel cold. She knew that once such a sign appeared, she would start to panic.

It seems that he has returned to the day seven years ago, and he was questioned by him in full view of everyone and was speechless.

Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of the crowded people in the auditorium, and the camera facing me, and for a moment, I forgot what I should say next.

In the next second, Zhu Jinchuan pressed her hand under the table, turned her head slightly, and whispered, "You take a break, I'll come to this section." ”

His voice was low and powerful, his palm was warm and dry, and the contact of less than a second with two taps made Ling Li's emotions and heartbeat that was about to go out of control calm down in an instant.

Yes, there is also the master, no matter how big the mess, he has the ability to deal with it, isn't he?

Ling Li lightly exhaled the turbid breath that was holding in his heart just now, nodded, and handed over the questions to him with peace of mind.

Zhu Jinchuan did not ask a question directly, but turned his head to ask Lan Gang on the trial seat: "Presiding judge, I would like to ask the defendant's lawyer Qi Wan two questions, which will help to find out the truth, and I also ask the presiding judge for permission." ”

Not only did Yu Wenzhong not believe that Zhu Jinchuan would make such a strange request, but Lan Gang was also obviously a little surprised.

He could have expected that the victim's side would come up with some strange tricks, but he didn't expect that Ling Li had just said in court that the victim had a personal affair with someone outside the case, and now the other one made a request that he had heard for the first time in 20 years as a judge.

With such a request, even if he is biased, he really can't say it!

Lan Gang couldn't hide his embarrassment: "This court would like to draw the attention of the victim's relatives and lawyers to the fact that the Criminal Procedure Law does not give you the right to ask the defendant to retain a lawyer, and there is no precedent. ”

Zhu Jinchuan nodded slightly, with a calm expression: "The question I want to ask does not involve the substantive part of the case, but only helps the collegial panel understand the purpose of Lawyer Ling's question just now. ”

The five men on the bench began to discuss in whispers.

Ling Li looked at the Ye Special Committee member who asked the question just now, her brows were tightly knit for a while, her expression was solemn for a while, and in the conversation with Lan Gang, she shook her head from time to time, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

If they deny Zhu Jinchuan's request, I don't know if the situation they hastily laid out yesterday and today will be affected.

Almost a minute passed, and it didn't seem to be fruitful.

Ling Li's heart was raised, and suddenly Lan Gang nodded, picked up the gavel on the table and knocked it down: "Since the collegial panel needs to deliberate on the request made by the victim's lawyer just now, the court is now adjourned for fifteen minutes." Yu Wenzhong, the defendant's lawyer, and Zhu Jinchuan, the victim's lawyer, are requested to leave the courtroom to state their respective views and reasons to the collegial panel, and the rest of the litigation participants are to wait in place for 15 minutes and do not move around at will. ”

The hanging heart still can't fall to the ground, and I have to wait another fifteen minutes.

After the collegial panel announced the adjournment, the collegial panel, the defendant, and the two lawyers all withdrew from the courtroom, and there was an uproar in the courtroom.

The observers began to talk about the short trial just now, and from time to time they looked at Ling Li and Qi Wan who was sitting opposite her.

Fifteen minutes passed, and the door didn't move.

After waiting anxiously for nearly twenty minutes, at last, a voice came from the small door of the judge's passage.

It was Yu Wenzhong who came in, and Zhu Jinchuan.

One had a pale face, the other had a sinking face, and from the outside, he was completely unaware of the outcome of the discussion after the adjournment.

Ling Li's eyes were bright, and she couldn't hide her anticipation.

Zhu Jinchuan sat down and smiled at her with side eyes: "Yes." ”

Ling Li was relaxed for a moment, but became nervous in the next second.

This is just a permission to ask questions, and it is not yet known what Zhu Jinchuan is going to do to help her.
