Ling Li was still investigating, and when she stood in place in confusion, Zhu Jinchuan slowly opened the verdict of the first instance and pointed to the inconspicuous row of witnesses.

His tone was as flat as water: "Here, what Qin Xinghai said to the detainees after he was detained in the detention center. That night, he said, he was a little drifting and killed his mother with three punches. This floating word is a term used by drug addicts to hallucinate after taking drugs.

There is also the so-called upper head, which is the common name for the period of intense pleasure after drug addiction. What to open the skylight, chase the dragon, ants on the tree, and so on, and so on, and when you come into contact with drug crime cases in the future, you will naturally know. ”

Ling Li was stunned, she didn't notice this word at all, and even if she did, she would think that it was just describing Qin Xinghai's psychological state, and she didn't think it was related to drug abuse at all.

Zhu Jinchuan's voice in his ear continued: "You remember, it's not called marking the paper if you read it carefully." If you don't consciously want to do one, five, or even two, then you will never learn how to handle criminal cases. ”

Ling Li was finally convinced by these words, nodded and replied, "I know, thank you for wishing Director." ”

It may be that her honest attitude of admitting her mistakes is quite sincere, Zhu Jinchuan glanced at her, walked around to the desk and sat down. Then, take out a cigarette and light it.

The office was soon filled with the smell of tobacco, Ling Li frowned, and was about to ask if she could leave if there was nothing to do, Zhu Jinchuan spoke slowly.

He said: "Some people have counted that the defendants who commit intentional homicide have a relatively low level of education. I don't discriminate, but the fact is that people with low education levels have relatively weak willpower, and are more susceptible to bad temptations and thus tainted with bad habits.

So, you can't isolate the defendant from his life background, everything has to be prepared for the worst, everything has to be done from the perspective of human evil. In this way, key issues are not missed. ”

Ling Li raised her eyes to look at him and asked the doubts in her heart: "The problem of memory confusion caused by drug abuse is also a doubt, why don't you bring it up?" ”

He smiled softly: "I think you should know that if you take drugs and cause hallucinations and kill people, unless the drug use is not voluntary, the punishment will not be mitigated." Moreover, on last year's International Day Against Drugs, the Supreme Court made it clear that it would increase the punishment for crimes caused by drug use. ”

Ling Li shook his head: "It's not that he is hallucinogenic due to drug use, but because of drug addiction and confused memory......"

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly understood.

Zhu Jinchuan saw her expression and raised his eyebrows: "You finally understood?" Hallucinogenic homicide caused by drug use can better explain the repeated confessions of the defendants. Such a time-saving, effort-saving and worry-free way of conviction is equivalent to handing the prosecutor a knife, do you think the prosecution will let it go? The police negligently did not do a urine test back then, and it can be said that Qin Xinghai hit a big luck. ”

Ling Li bit her lip and nodded, Zhu Jinchuan saw that there was still a look of confusion in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth were lightly raised, but she was not smiling.

His voice was full of coldness: "Ling Li, in fact, you have already determined in your heart that Qin Xinghai is the real murderer, right?" So timid, so afraid to argue, right? ”

Ling Li was slightly stunned and lowered her head again. Zhu Jinchuan's words really hit her heart.

Through this mock trial, Zhu Jinchuan's mentality when she was marking the file was completely exposed.

She has indeed labeled the defendant in this case, so in her subsequent work, she will look for a defense point from the perspective of drilling into procedural loopholes and looking for flaws in the case.

If Zhu Jinchuan hadn't told her the inference that the defendant might have taken drugs, she would really still be in the clouds, and she would have been entangled in the small flaws in the prosecution's evidence, thus ignoring the key issues.

Zhu Jinchuan did not mock her as always, but his voice became serious: "You are a lawyer, even if you are a scum who has committed heinous crimes, since you have taken over the case, you should protect his rights and interests." This is a professional ethic that you should abide by, and sometimes it may even contradict your own conscience, and if you feel miserable, simply don't do it. ”

Ling Li bit her lip and asked again: "Then why, Qin Xinghai retracted his confession in court and insisted that he was not guilty, while Director Zhu still insisted on defending his guilt?" ”

Zhu Jinchuan's eyes were a little stunned, he took a deep breath of cigarette, and slowly spit out: "As for why I insisted on defending my guilt at the beginning, it's actually not too difficult to understand. You can take this question to the dossier and see if you can find the answer to the question. To give you a hint, you can try to speculate that if I had the same thinking as the defendant in my defense in the first trial, would he still have the life to wait until today's retrial? ”

Ling Li looked at Zhu Jinchuan with wide eyes, only to feel that his face was a little blurred in the smoke in front of him.

Zhu Jinchuan rubbed his eyebrows a little tiredly, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Ling Li, I rarely have the patience to teach you, tonight, you can give me a clear word by word." ”

Hearing this, Ling Li straightened her body for a moment, her eyes full of solemnity and seriousness.

Indeed, as Zhu Jinchuan said, it is rare for him to have the patience to talk so much to her, and the opportunity is rare and cannot but be cherished.

Even if his previous behavior of not providing any help and guidance in the name of a master was disgraceful, it is undeniable that Zhu Jinchuan's business level is worthy of the name.

Even if his focus is not on criminal defense now, the reference advice he provides is very valuable.

She was still reminiscing about the conversation just now, and Zhu Jinchuan's face suddenly turned cold again, and her voice carried her familiar impatience: "Ling Li, although I handed over this case to you, I still maintain my previous opinion." You're not a lawyer, you can't play with a bunch of people who know what you're thinking in the blink of an eye. ”

In the end, it was his word-by-word ridicule: "As for this case, if you want to overturn the case with your current ability, I will send you four words, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky!" ”

After staggering for more than an hour to get home, Ling Li slept on the bus, and when she woke up again, she felt that the low air pressure hovering over her head had finally disappeared.

Zhu Jinchuan's words are still in my ears. He used to ignore her, treat her like a garbage can, and leave her to fend for herself, and when she was determined to leave, he took a case to let her stay.

She stayed, but Zhu Jinchuan suddenly became extremely stern, and seized every opportunity to unscrupulously hit her self-confidence.

Ling Li sighed deeply, looking at the glittering city outside the car window, the brilliant lights reflected a row of peaceful and prosperous scenes, and felt that the boredom in her heart was gone for a while.

Well, even if Zhu Jinchuan's attitude of resisting before taking revenge on her is still better than letting her fend for herself before.

If it was said that he paid special attention to this case because of the problem of the results of the first and second trials, as well as Zhu Jinchuan's strange defense in this case, then after today's inhumane trial simulation, being ridiculed by Zhu Jinchuan, Ling Li had a fighting spirit.

She hopes that she can handle this case well, make something different to slap Zhu Jinchuan's face, and also hope that she can grow, even a little, it is better than standing still.

When she arrived at the station, Ling Li jumped off the bus, wrinkled and rubbed her hungry stomach, and muttered to herself: "If you don't eat again, you'll be going to be fine." ”

Thinking of the secret soup that his uncle had to stew every day since the beginning of winter, Ling Li only felt that her saliva was flowing, and she hurried her steps and wanted to go home quickly.

However, after only a few steps, she unexpectedly found Nan Zhiyi's figure a few meters away from the stop sign.

She pinched her fingers and calculated, as if he had said that he would be on a business trip for three days, as if he was supposed to return today.

It's just that I haven't seen him for a few days, and a few days ago, Nan Zhiyi, who was still very affordable with the word "Qingjun", degenerated into the appearance of a homeless man.

Chicken nest heads, crumpled coats, mud-stained shoes, stubble on the face, and empty eyes.

The only thing that is not standard for a homeless man is the rice grains and Guli that he is dragging in his hand.

However, even if two dogs sucked away attention, his decadent appearance still made the passers-by around him look sideways.

Several well-dressed little girls even involuntarily quickened their pace as they passed him, not knowing whether they were afraid of dogs or that this homeless uncle would do something indescribable.

Ling Li was originally in a somewhat depressed mood, but after seeing Wang Xingren, who had not seen him for a few days, he instantly jumped up.

The cute dog has the most healing effect, she didn't have time to say hello to Nan Zhiyi, so she squatted down and kneaded Guli's ears, and buried some cold hands in the thick fluff of rice grains, and her fingertips and hearts were warm.

She squatted down and raised her head and asked Nan Zhiyi, "Why did you walk the dog and come here?" There is no park here, and the dogs are not fun. ”

Nan Zhiyi still looked like he was wandering in the world just now, and at this time he seemed to have woken up, his eyes flashed with a faint light, and he smiled very widely.

He bent down slightly to meet her gaze: "I walked the dog to your house just now, and I asked Uncle Zhang to know that you haven't gone home yet, and the phone hasn't gotten through." It was almost nine o'clock, and I didn't know what was going on, so I came here, but I was lucky to wait for you. ”

This answer made Ling Li slightly stunned.

After a while, she said, "I'm not a child anymore, and my phone was turned off in the afternoon, so it's not like this, right?" ”

Nan Zhiyi shook his head seriously: "It's very good, if you get lost, there will be no one to help me clean up." ”

Ling Li sighed secretly, the slight warm feeling that had just surged in her heart disappeared in an instant, and she muttered to herself: "Look, that's really the case." ”

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. This sentence is even more vividly embodied in people with simple personalities like Nan Zhiyi.
