Chapter 66: Farce
Shen Mou, who had always been calm and serious, looked helpless, turned his head sideways and discussed a few words with the members of the collegial panel, and then agreed to Zhu Jinchuan's proposal.
Zhu Jinchuan sat down slowly, his back straight, just sitting quietly, but it was the momentum of Yuanyu Yuezhi.
He looked at the witness stand and asked slowly: "Mu Chu, what Qin Xinghai came to you to do that day, can you repeat it again?" ”
The prosecutor immediately objected: "This story has been explained in detail, and I suggest that the opposing lawyer should not waste the presiding judge's precious time." ”
Before Shen Mu could express his position, Zhu Jinchuan immediately said: "Okay, Mu Chu, I'll briefly repeat it, if there is anything that doesn't match your memory, please point it out immediately." ”
Mu Chu nodded inexplicably, but the prosecutor opened his mouth and did not speak again. He could make the witnesses not answer questions, but he couldn't stop Zhu Jinchuan from speaking.
Zhu Jinchuan stared at Mu Jiu: "On the twentieth day of December in the fifth year, at about twelve o'clock at noon, you met Qin Xinghai in front of your teahouse. He seemed to be in a good mood, carrying a brown bag in a hurry, you pulled him into your teahouse to play cards, and took advantage of his win to get carried away, and secretly exchanged the 50,000 yuan in his brown bag, right? ”
Mu Chu nodded honestly: "Yes." ”
Hearing his answer, Zhu Jinchuan's speech suddenly accelerated, and his voice was cold: "What you exchanged is indeed 50,000 yuan?" ”
Mu Chu was stunned and hesitated. After exchanging glances with the prosecutor, he immediately said, "Yes, it's 50,000." ”
As soon as his words fell, Zhu Jinchuan continued: "Is it indeed a brown bag, not green?" ”
Mu Chu subconsciously glanced at his eyes, and the direction of his gaze was the prosecutor again, and after a few seconds, he replied: "Yes, it's brown." ”
Ling Li noticed this detail, and suddenly something passed through her mind, but she couldn't grasp it for a while.
Zhu Jinchuan didn't seem to notice anything wrong, and continued to ask: "After that, close to five o'clock, Qin Xinghai won the money, not only repaid the money owed to you, but also bought you two Magu, right?"
Mu Chu replied, "Yes." ”
"Well," Zhu Jinchuan nodded, speaking a little slowly: "In this way, Qin Xinghai's murder of his father and mother boils down to the fact that you exchange the money he used to pay off his debts, do you agree with this kind of cause and effect?" ”
The prosecutor reacted quickly and said loudly: "Objection, the so-called causal relationship in the criminal law refers to ....... ”
However, before he could finish speaking, Zhu Jinchuan's voice came slowly: "I heard that no one sends souls to the dead, and they will all become nun. Maybe they're right behind you, staring at you. ”
Zhu Jinchuan's inexplicable words, although there was not much sound, and the speed of speech was slow and slow, but it was like a magic sound in the ears, so that everyone in the court could hear it clearly.
The low and gloomy voice made Ling Li, an atheist, feel a little chill down his spine.
Mu Chu's somewhat swarthy face had turned white all of a sudden, and his lips had lost color: "No, it's not me, don't come to me." I didn't change the money, it wasn't me. ”
This sentence that broke through the air made Ling Li stunned. What's going on? Why did she seem to hear something she had never thought about?
Zhu Jinchuan reacted quickly, and immediately asked: "Mu Chu, you mean, the 50,000 yuan was not exchanged by you?" ”
Circumstances have come and gone, and the prosecutor wants to stop it, but it is too late.
"Yes, oh, no, I didn't change it." Mu Chu nodded and shook his head, the words in his mouth were a little incoherent, but everyone understood what he meant
The three judges on the bench were stunned for a moment, and then bowed their heads and exchanged opinions. In addition to the sound of their whispered conversation, the courtroom suddenly fell silent.
Ling Li was stunned for a while, and after a while, he also understood. Zhu Jinchuan asked a few simple questions to let the witness fall in. What they have been speculating all along is that Mu Chu replaced Qin Xinghai's 50,000 yuan, which does not seem to be the truth.
If it wasn't the money that Mu Ji replaced, Qin Xinghai's creditor's original purpose was to get the money back, and there was no need to toss it like this, so who was doing it? Is there a connection between this and the death of the victim in this case?
Ling Li deduced from this, and for a while he only felt that he couldn't figure it out, and the case became even more confusing.
She was still frowning and pondering, when suddenly, something flew out of the gallery and landed heavily on the table in front of the prosecutor in a diagonal parabola.
Ling Li was awakened by the sound of the thing falling, and when she looked up, she saw the prosecutor surnamed Chen, who had a round face and weak facial features, and looked at the old women's shoes with mud on the soles of her feet on the desktop in front of her, her mouth slightly open, and she hadn't come back to her senses yet.
Everyone was still wondering what the situation was, and suddenly another flying shoe flew towards Shen Mu on the judgment seat.
The presiding judge was quick to react and knew how to dodge, but he made a deflective movement, and the shoe fell, and there was still a long distance between the judgment seat.
Hua Zhao spoke in a strong Changshan accent, scolding the prosecutor and the judge: "You dog officials, you are embarrassed, you frame Zhongliang, God has long eyes, you will have retribution......"
Until she was taken down by the bailiff, the loud voice was still like an aftersound, and it couldn't be dispersed for a long time.
Seeing that a good trial turned into one farce after another, Shen Mu smiled bitterly, his face was full of helplessness, and he stared at Zhu Jinchuan and said, "Lawyer Zhu, say it, what do you want?" ”
Zhu Jinchuan stood up straight, the corners of his mouth were bound to smile, and his voice was soft: "Presiding judge, in view of the new circumstances in this case, I apply to the collegial panel to re-investigate the evidence and postpone the trial again." ”
————
Lu Xiaoxiao cleaned up the desktop, and with a wind-swept movement, a row of documents was swept away by her frizzy hand, and fell to the ground, making the conference room even more chaotic.
Ling Li frowned and complained: "Miss, don't clean up, this is getting more and more messy, but it will increase my workload." ”
They spent an afternoon pulling out a long list of witnesses from the original evidence materials and some information that Zhu Jinchuan had learned five years ago, and asked the collegial panel to collect evidence and re-examine the witnesses.
After some bargaining with the collegial panel, the names of seven key witnesses were finally determined. Among these seven people, there are people who are serving prison sentences, people who lent Qin Xinghai money back then, and Qin Xinghai's neighbors at that time.
These people are either detained or have already moved out of their original places of residence, and if they are allowed to collect evidence by lawyers, under the current legislative situation, they will not only face the danger of Article 306 of the Criminal Law hanging over their heads at all times, but will also face problems such as difficulty in finding people and the failure of witnesses to cooperate.
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard her complaint, she angrily stacked the information in her hand, and her jade hand stretched out and poked her forehead, gritted her teeth and said, "You're still embarrassed, if it weren't for your stupidity, I would have been called back by Zhutou temporarily?" You two robots don't have to live a love life, sister, I have a date! ”
Hearing her talk about dating, Ling Li suddenly became interested, and the feeling of being a little bored just now because she still had no clue about the case was swept away.
She grabbed Lu Xiaoxiao's shoulder: "You and Teacher Nan, how are they?" Is it still going well? ”
Speaking of Nanzhiyi, Lu Xiaoxiao was full of spring breeze, and secretly gave her an "OK" gesture, saying: "Everything is under control, he said, let me go tonight." ”
Seeing Ling Li's mouth turned into an O, she twisted a little: "If this can be done, I will give you a big matchmaker red envelope." ”
Ling Li was a little stunned, and reacted after a while: "Won't it?" You're moving so fast? ”
After a pause, he grabbed her arm tightly: "Are you really going to talk about marriage?" ”
Lu Xiaoxiao grinned at her claws, hurriedly snatched back her hand, and stroked her long hair triumphantly, and changed her eyes to look at an idiot: "What do you say?" If you don't take this kind of high-quality man quickly, you have to leave it to other goblins? “
patted her shoulder again, meaningfully: "Xiao Lingzi, I will remember you well." When you want to be a man, I'll help you keep an eye on it? Say, what type do you like? Is it a domineering president with a black belly and gentleness, or a warm man who is considerate to the bones? Or, a cold-faced detective with six-pack abs, playing with uniform temptation? ”
Ling Li was startled by her, and hurriedly waved her hand: "No, haven't you slept with the so-called resources around you?" I don't want second-hand. ”
Lu Xiaoxiao shouted "You poisonous woman who kicks her nose and face", and whispered in her ear: "I see that you prefer second-hand sullen men, and if there are ready-made ones, I won't dislike them." ”
Ling Li was stunned by what she said, and scratched her hair with doubts in her eyes. Lu Xiaoxiao looked at her with a natural look, and wanted to click a few more words but found that it was not early, so she hurriedly picked up her bag and trotted all the way to the elevator, leaving a meeting room with chicken feathers.
Lu Xiaoxiao left, Ling Li shook her head and chuckled for a while, and continued her work.
In court that day, first Qin Xinghai made two big troubles in the courtroom, and then Hua Zhao threw shoes at the prosecutor and the trial seat, and a big drama was staged, which scared Ling Li so much that her eyes almost fell out.
And this unexpected episode of the second trial turned out to be a good play by director Zhu Dazhuo.
As for why he disrupted the trial, he was blunt: "The procuratorate seems to have been eyeing this witness for a long time. They also have the right to initiate a retrial, but they did not initiate the trial supervision procedure just because they had the testimony of Mu Chu, and there must be fraud in this. I think it is estimated that the appearance of Mu Ji will make some cases that have already been established repeated. ”
Ling Li was a little puzzled: "Then why don't you choose a safer way to testify as a witness?" ”
Zhu Jinchuan smiled: "That's because they know that using testimony as evidence in court can avoid risks but also fail to achieve results." It is better not to let us see the testimony, and directly fix the facts of the case with clever questioning, and we can also carry out a surprise attack. ”
Ling Li nodded, and asked him again: "Did you already know that there was a problem with the 50,000 yuan counterfeit coin?" ”
