Chapter 310: Extension

Yu Wenzhong never dreamed that this case, which seemed ordinary and not very difficult, and seemed to allow him to fight well to slap Zhu Jinchuan in the face, would hide such a deep trap.

He has been familiar with the media routines for a long time, and the marketing in the early stage is still very effective, and the pressure has put the procuratorate and the procuratorate in the whirlpool of public opinion, taking a huge risk to prosecute.

Now, the procuratorate has been robbed of the limelight by Zheng Qijie's "self-recognition", but has been able to get out safely.

And the public security took a year to solve the case and a year to supplement the investigation, so before the "record" that could not be taken, the face had already been lost, and they didn't care about this.

Zhu Jinchuan and Ling Li, not to mention, were originally insignificant small roles, although playing these two small roles was also one of the reasons why Yu Wenzhong initially decided to intervene in this case, but now it seems that he is a little out of play.

Zhu Jinchuan and Ling Li's questions echoed before and after, which provoked Zheng Qijie to lose his sense of proportion and say things that should not be said, and also pulled in a bunch of people and things, no matter how the law characterizes his behavior, the media, I am afraid that it is already tendentious.

It seems, a little out of his control.

Yu Wenzhong couldn't sit still, and in just one minute, his head was covered with beads of sweat.

Originally, he could have avoided this scene, after all, based on his judgment in just a few minutes, Zheng Qijie's remarks in court just now were originally intended to be published after his acquittal.

Unexpectedly, he made a mistake after all, and was taken advantage of by Zhu Jinchuan and Ling Li, the lawyers of the chicken thieves, to let Zheng Qijie "prove himself".

However, it is not a "confession of guilt" in law.

Criminal proceedings are a rigid and strictly procedural process, which affects civil liberties and even the right to life, and without the causal relationship between the scene of the murder weapon and the criminal law, even if he admits that he killed 1,000 people, he cannot count.

So judging from the evidence, this case will definitely be won.

If he continues to represent him, he will really become a lawyer who exonerates murderers, which is completely contrary to the position he has long set for himself as a "terminator of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases".

But if the commission is lifted, no matter how justified the reason is, it will be ridiculed as a clown-like character.

The so-called difficult to ride a tiger probably refers to today's situation.

What's more, with so many media present at this trial, he will definitely not be able to pass easily.

Although he and them seem to be comrades-in-arms in the trench over the years, they have dealings with Harmony on the surface, but for the sake of big news, there will be a stab in the back.

The click-through rate and topic popularity have always been things that reporters are crazy pursuing, and he, the terminator of unjust, false and wrongful cases, a well-known die-hard lawyer, was previously sought after by the media, but this time he was defeated, and it is enough to write such a reversal.

For a while, he even had the urge to send Zheng Qijie to prison.

If he hadn't hidden so much from himself, how could he have caused such a mistake today?

Zheng Qijie stayed in the detention center for a year and didn't say anything, but he didn't expect that at today's court session, this person destroyed the Great Wall and came to confess.

Yu Wenzhong regretted it a little. If he had known that Zheng's father and Zheng's mother would not appear in court would have such a big impact on Zheng Qijie's emotions, he would definitely have told Qi Wan to bring these two people to court.

But it's no wonder that he is. Obviously, yesterday Qi Wan reported to him that the language used to settle the civil part in the afternoon was "everything is normal", and there was no mention of the defendant's parents temporarily changing their hexagrams and not appearing in court.

Yu Wenzhong thought of this, suddenly came to his senses, turned his face sideways, and looked at Qi Wan in disbelief.

I saw her head bowed, her face pale, but she never spoke.

It turned out to be her?

Only by this time he had no time to clear the portal. The most important thing now is to make amends, quickly call a stop, and stop this trial, which he has completely lost control.

But on what grounds should it be suspended?

Yu Wenzhong's eyes rolled wildly, and he began to think about how to get out of this one.

Unlike Yu Wenzhong, whose head began to run rapidly, Ling Li's thinking seemed to be frozen, and when Zheng Qijie began to "assume" that she was a criminal and how to do it, she held her breath and did not move.

From the moment Zheng Qijie had emotions in her eyes, she knew that she was getting closer to success step by step.

As she handled this case these days, as she deliberately imitated Tang Aoxue's words and deeds before, she began to habitually substitute herself into the role of Tang Aoxue.

Now, she finally knows how Tang Aoxue was killed, and finally, she personally asked Zheng Qijie to tell the process of the crime.

It's just that this process makes people feel like falling into an ice cave.

For the sake of Li Zejun, Tang Aoxue evaded the surveillance by herself, easily took the bait, and went to the place where she had a private tryst with Li Zejun.

Afterwards, she was anesthetized, had her arms cut off, sealed in a concrete pier, and died in a coma before sinking to the bottom of the river.

I haven't seen the light of day for two years, and I can't wake up anymore because the icy river washes over my cold body.

It's so sad to die like this.

I don't know how long she has been drowning in such a sad mood, but she struggled to get out of the bottomless whirlpool easily, the chill on her body subsided, and she gradually gained consciousness, and the sight in front of her regained color.

Zheng Qijie, who looked crazy just now, was actually extremely calm, and at this time he was satisfied with observing the people around him with different expressions, and was faintly excited.

Originally, after regaining his freedom, he would imitate Simpson, come to "If I Did It" or something, and tell the world what he had done, but he didn't expect to say it in person on such an occasion as the court, which would bring more intense excitement.

The whole world knows that I killed someone, but what can you do?

Zheng Qijie's eyes had long since lost his sorrow, he smiled slightly, and stretched his voice: "Today, I only learned through Lawyer Ling's reminder that Principal Li, it seems that someone has lost the woman you couldn't ask for, it's a pity." Unfortunately, it's not me. However, the so-called goodness is like water, red lotus karma fire, these two things can be the destination of people. If the last of her grave is a mountain and a river, it is considered a well-deserved death, and please mourn. ”

Li Zejun's face was pale, but he didn't dare to talk, and Huang Zhicong, who was beside him, finally realized what had just happened, and couldn't stop being surprised at this time, and his eyes were panicked.

Lan Gang intuitively thought that if Zheng Qijie continued to perform, he didn't know what would happen, so he coughed lightly and said: "Do the prosecution and defense have any new evidence, have they notified new witnesses to appear in court, collected new evidence, and applied for re-appraisal or inquest?"

Prosecutor Wu Xun was worried, a little unsure of how to respond to this procedural question.

He was supposed to sing the leading role today, but because of the weakness of the evidence, he had no sense of existence, but he didn't expect to encounter such an extreme trial.

There is no evidence, but the defendant made a statement similar to "self-confession" in court, which is unheard of.

It's just that his professionalism told him that what happened just now would not have any result in the conviction of the accused.

A confession without evidence is an isolated evidence, not to mention that it is still the defendant's "hypothesis", "what if", and "story".

Even if the police found the body of the victim in a certain river sealed by a cement pier according to Zheng Qijie's so-called "self-confession", it is difficult to say how much effective evidence can be left behind after two years of being buried in concrete, then soaked and washed by the river, and then soaked and washed by the river.

He didn't bother to express any opinions, and the presiding judge asked him several times before he said no.

And Ling Li was still in the sequelae of the huge shock just now, so he shook his head and replied, "No." ”

After asking this, Lan Gang turned his head to Yu Wenzhong: "What about the defendant's side?" ”

Yu Wenzhong, who was still thinking about how to get himself out of this trap, his eyes lit up, and his face was happy: "We have a new witness to appear in court!" I applied to the defendant's parents, as well as Li Zejun, the executive vice president of Jincheng College, that is, the spouse of the missing teacher Tang Aoxue's tutor, and the principal Li who had a personal relationship with Tang Aoxue just now, as proposed by lawyer Ling Li, to testify in court! ”

Half an hour later, because Yu Wenzhong submitted an application for a new witness to appear in court, the trial was temporarily adjourned and then resumed, and Lan Gang was in good spirits: "After review, the members of the collegial panel believe that additional witnesses should be allowed, and the trial of this case is postponed, and the specific time is subject to the official notice." ”

Then came a gavel, and he announced: "The court is now adjourned." ”

The first trial came to an abrupt end, and Ling Li was a little paralyzed, only feeling that her palms and feet were sweaty.

Zhu Jinchuan exchanged a look, her heart moved slightly, and just wanted to speak, Zhu Jinchuan looked at it calmly, and said softly: "Go back and talk about it"

————

The July sun was already poisonous enough to bite, and Ling Li had only stood on the stairs at the entrance of the Intermediate Court for a few minutes before she was about to be scorched by the sun.

She retreated down the hallway, feeling an inquiring gaze behind her and a vaguely whispered conversation, a little uncomfortable.

It was a few reporters who had just wanted to interview her, but she refused their request for an interview on the grounds that the case was still under trial and that many circumstances were inconvenient to disclose. After all, it was in the courthouse, and the reporter was not easy to entangle, but he refused to disperse, and only stood behind her, as if discussing something.

Just now, she couldn't help the feeling of chilling behind her back, so she wanted to stay away from the group of people, so she stood in the sun.

But he was forced back by the sun.

After the court adjourned just now, she and Zhu Jinchuan spent more than ten minutes checking the transcript and signing it, and then walked out of the courtroom through the special passage with the prosecutors.

Before she had time to communicate with Zhu Jinchuan about what happened in court today, Zhu Jinchuan suddenly said that she wanted to go back to the clerk to get a copy of the transcript to prepare for the next court session.

She had been in the air-conditioned room for too long, Ling Li's skin was cold, and with some chilling information from today's trial, she didn't want to go back to the cold place with him, so she offered to wait for him under the porch, but she didn't expect to encounter an ambush.

Ling Li was a little uneasy, she just hoped that Jinchuan would come back soon, she still had a stomach problem to discuss with him.

Today's trial shocked her too much, and the things related to the case that Zheng Qijie personally confided in her have far exceeded her expectations.

He used "if" and "if", and used the "story" as a cover, so he didn't have to bear any legal responsibility, but the clues revealed in it might help them find Tang Aoxue.

Once you have the torso of the body, once you can find the first scene of the crime, it is possible to bring a glimmer of hope to the real solving of the case.

However, with the information that Zheng Qijie said, can the police do something?

Zheng Qijie's modus operandi, with hundreds of large and small rivers in Funan, there have been several floods in the past two years, so what kind of cement pier is being washed now, how can it be calculated?

What's more, now is the wet season, the lake pond can still be drained, and the rivers and rivers, how to explore the situation under the water in the summer when the water flow is huge?

Do we have to wait until the dry season to have a chance to find out the truth? However, the trial time limit of the case is only three months.

She frowned and sighed, but her eyes suddenly lit up.

It is difficult to find the target from the river, but what if it is reversed from Li Zejun's line?
