After Ling Li presented the evidence, the prosecution's cross-examination hit the main point - just like Xie Wanlu's judgment before the trial, there is enough objective evidence, and none of her things based on inference and reasoning are real hammers.

Nan Zhijun in the auditorium looked serious and frowned, obviously, even if he was not from a criminal line, he could basically see that the current situation was very unfavorable to Nan Zhiyi.

It was only when he made brief eye contact with Ling Li that he nodded slightly, as if encouraging.

At the end of the prosecution's cross-examination, the judge asked the victim's lawyer: "The victim's lawyer, do you have any cross-examination opinions that need to be expressed?" ”

Combined with the lawyer's previous performance, Ling Li thought that he would still keep a low profile, however, the lawyer suddenly spoke: "I have questions for the evidence of the defendant's character that the defendant's defense lawyer just presented. ”

The collegial panel was a little confused: "Victim's lawyer, asking questions to the defendant's lawyer is not something that should be done in the investigation stage of the trial, you can go to the debate stage." ”

Lawyer Chen said, "The question I want to ask happens to be related to the defendant's character and the factual part of the case, so please allow me to ask questions." ”

This trial has a lesson from the past that Nan Zhijun has to observe, and the rules have long been broken. The collegial panel was also embarrassed not to settle the bowl of water, so after some discussion, it allowed Lawyer Chen's request.

Ling Li vaguely expected that the other party was prepared, and basically knew the question he wanted to ask.

Sure enough, as soon as Lawyer Chen opened his mouth, he hit her pain point: "You have been emphasizing that Nanzhiyi has a good character, so how should you explain Nanzhiyi's behavior of abandoning you for the sake of the victim?" ”

Ling Li had expected that the opposing lawyer would throw this question: "This question has nothing to do with this case, and I don't need to answer it." ”

Zhu Jinchuan made a rare supplementary opinion: "If there is a debate, it is recommended that the victim's lawyer wait until the court investigation is completed before starting." ”

The judge also made his position clear: "The victim's lawyer, if there is no new cross-examination opinion, then the court investigation is over." ”

The lawyer suddenly spoke: "Since I can't apply for an answer from the defendant's lawyer, I have a few questions that I want to ask the defendant about the motive and criminal psychology of the crime, and I ask the collegial panel for permission." ”

Ling Li's eyebrows jumped, and she subconsciously felt that this move was not simple.

If the defendant is to be questioned, why not at the stage of questioning just now? Do you have to put it now? Moreover, should it be placed after the relationship between her and Nan Zhiyi is clarified?

Obviously, this is not for the collegial panel, because the judge will not pay attention to these matters that have nothing to do with the facts of the case.

So, who is this lawyer's every move aimed at?

Thinking of this, she pursed her lips and looked at Nan Zhiyi in the defendant's seat, and the uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger.

After two or three minutes of discussion, the collegial panel finally allowed the victim's lawyer's application.

Nan Zhiyi still didn't care about anything before, and even had a hint of curiosity - curious about what questions the victim's lawyer would ask him.

The lawyer flipped through the pages in his hand, and finally raised his head: "Defendant, just now your lawyer has been trying to prove that your character is good and you have no motive to commit a crime, so I want to ask, aside from this case, have you ever killed someone?" ”

Zhu Jinchuan's reaction was quick: "I object to the opposing lawyer's raising of issues unrelated to this case." ”

Nan Zhijun's face changed when he heard this, and he stood up suddenly: "What did you say?" ”

Lawyer Chen looked at Zhu Jinchuan, then at Nan Zhijun, and immediately turned his face to the trial seat: "Presiding judge, this is related to the motive of the defendant in this case, and it is a very critical issue. In addition, you are asked to prevent observers from speaking without permission. ”

The judge looked at Nan Zhijun in embarrassment, but still spoke to him to keep quiet, and then he allowed the lawyer to ask questions, and also explained to Nan Zhiyi: "Defendant, you must answer the questions of the victim's lawyer." ”

Nan Zhijun frowned and sat down silently, without speaking again. And Zhu Jinchuan looked solemn and frowned, as if he cared about the answer to this question.

Lawyer Chen asked the question again, and then asked Nan Zhiyi to answer.

Nan Zhiyi's eyes were still a little curious just now, but now they were covered by clouds and fog, and he only replied with three words: "I don't know." ”

422

Lawyer Chen seemed to have expected Nan Zhiyi's answer for a long time, and continued: "You said you don't know, I can help you recall." Twenty years ago, on April 17, at the Huacheng Intermediate People's Court, your brother, Nan Zhijun, the current president of the Funan High Court, was attacked by the parties to the case. At that time, Nan Zhijun was unconscious from the knife, and then spent two months in the hospital before being discharged. At the scene of the crime, you are only twelve years old, and two suspects with broken bodies. Excuse me, was that your first killing? ”

"Against!" Zhu Jinchuan almost stood up, his voice hurried, "Oppose the opposing lawyer's inductive question." ”

The collegial panel was obviously shocked by the past incident that he had just heard, and the presiding judge looked at Lawyer Chen with round eyes, and then at Nan Zhiyi, and said in a trembling voice: "The defendant doesn't need to answer the question just now. ”

The lawyer didn't dwell on the question just now, and continued: "Then let me change the question, the defendant, when you were twelve years old, you could kill people and break up corpses, and the weapon was just a fruit knife, so when you know that the victim lied and ruined your marriage with Lawyer Ling, will you be angry and create a fall similar to suicide to retaliate against the victim?" ”

Ling Li had already roared: "You talk nonsense, he won't be like this." ”

Zhu Jinchuan faced the trial bench and said: "The defense opposes the hypothetical inferences put forward by the victim's lawyer. ”

After speaking, he looked at Ling Li and motioned for her to calm down.

Fortunately, Ling Li didn't lose control further and didn't continue to amplify the volume in the courtroom and quarrel with the other party.

However, she felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart, only to feel that the situation was gradually out of control, and the balance had quietly slipped to the opposite side.

Before the presiding judge could make a judgment on the question just now, Nan Zhijun, who was in the audience, had already stood up and said to Lawyer Chen in a hoarse voice, "Which law firm are you from?" Juvenile criminal records are sealed, and you, as a criminal defense lawyer, should understand this truth. ”

It stands to reason that Nan Zhijun's behavior is disrupting the order of the court, but he has the identity of the president of the High Court, and he is still in such a state of anger and forbearance, several judges on the trial seat looked at each other and remained silent invariably.

However, the lawyer was not afraid at all, and said slowly: "Dean Nan, don't you know it? The case was not counted as a crime at the time, as the perpetrator was only 12 years old. Therefore, there is nothing to talk about the sealing of criminal records, and there is nothing to hide about this matter. ”

"None of it is true!" Nan Zhijun shouted in a deep voice, "Those people, just think that I killed them, and they have no connection with Xiao Yi!" ”

Lawyer Chen smiled expectedly: "Dean Nan, you didn't say that back then, besides, you passed out in your bedroom, and the dead died in the living room and corridor, how could it be your hands?" ”

Next, he took advantage of Nan Zhijun's lack of reply, turned his head and smiled at the defendant Xi Cangran: "Professor Nan, if you say that you have been hypnotized for twenty years, now under my reminder, is there any sign of recovery?" ”

Ling Li's eyes tightened when she heard the word "hypnosis".

Suddenly, all his unreasonable actions and inexplicable words were faintly connected because of the appearance of these two words.

She remembered that Zhu Jinchuan had been reminding her that Nanzhiyi was not simple, and Nanzhiyi was not suitable for her, she had always subconsciously thought that Zhu Jinchuan was just looking at Nanzhiyi unpleasantly, but she didn't expect that there was a deeper reason.

She suddenly remembered that Tao Xing had mentioned a fragment of Nan Zhiyi as a horror story, she was deeply impressed at the time, and because she had no beginning or end at that time, she had a nightmare.

During the days when she lived with Nan Zhiyi, she actually found that he was disturbed by nightmares from time to time.

However, the lawyer's next sentence made Ling Li lose the ability to think.

He said, "If you can remember, I wonder if you remember the year you were called crazy?" Can you explain why you want to create a murder case and make the death of an innocent girl the same as that of your tutor Lu Dongsheng back then? ”

Nan Zhijun no longer cared about the discipline of the court, but he still tried to suppress his anger, and looked at the lawyer with a pair of sharp eyes: "I understand, you want to destroy him!" Who are you? Why do you want to do this to Xiaoyi? ”

The lawyer surnamed Chen spread his hands regretfully: "I just accepted other people's money to expose this matter, so as not to let an innocent girl die in vain, as for the purpose of the boss, I don't know very well." ”

Nan Zhijun lowered his eyes slightly: "I don't care who you are, I only know that whoever hurts my younger brother will definitely pay it back!" ”

It stands to reason that Nan Zhijun should be the most calm one, however, when it comes to Nan Zhiyi's secrets, he is obviously not calm.

Ling Li found that if she didn't speak again, the trial would fall into a whirlpool of being led away by the opposing lawyer.

If he is repeatedly attacked by the opposing lawyer, Nan Zhijun doesn't want Nan Zhiyi to remember the past, he doesn't want the collegial panel to label Nan Zhiyi as a murderer because of a bloody case, and he doesn't want Nan Zhiyi's hard work to ruin his future.

She moved her lips, and was about to reply, when a few chuckles came from the defendant's seat.

This light-hearted laughter strangely dissolved the tense atmosphere of the scene, and when everyone's eyes were on Nan Zhiyi, who was laughing from the defendant's seat, they saw him grinning with his chin on his hands, and his shoulders trembling, and he seemed to be very happy.

However, he was obviously smiling, but his eyes were a little hollow, and his expression was extremely weird.

Ling Li saw that her breathing was tight, and her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

With the identity of Tao Xing, he staged a depression and fall that was almost exactly the same as Lu Dongsheng's back then, and told a story about Nan Zhiyi's unknown past in front of everyone, under such a double stimulus, Nan Zhiyi, who had mental problems, can really hold on? Or is it another loss of mind?

Is that what they're trying to achieve?
