Chapter 40: Critical Strike
To Ling Li's surprise, as soon as the door opened, it was actually a clean and refreshing face.
Nan Zhiyi had a gentle smile on his lips, his chin was neat, and the stubble that occupied most of his face disappeared for eight out of ten days. And his clear eyes were dyed with the bright lights of the hallway, which were even brighter.
Lu Xiaoxiao's luck is really good, and the two times she met in a row were both serious versions of Nanzhiyi.
This time, he didn't comb his hair back like before, his hair looked like it had just been washed, his hair was slightly scattered, and a few bangs hung down casually in front of his forehead, which was very age-reducing.
The breath that came to his face as he walked over was also a light soapy fragrance with wisps of green.
Ling Li sniffed and nodded slightly. Well, it smells like the shower gel in his bathroom, it's honeysuckle.
But he was suddenly shocked to find out why he was inexplicably sniffing the smell of a man, and he was at a loss for a while, his face turned red, and he said for a long time: "Teacher Nan, I'm here to clean." ”
As for Lu Xiaoxiao's previous instructions to let her introduce herself to Nan Zhiyi, she had already been thrown to Java.
Nan Zhiyi didn't notice Ling Li's strange appearance at all, and while buttoning the cufflinks, he looked up at her and smiled at her, "I'm going out, and I'm not at home for a day." ”
After he finished speaking, he took off his coat from the hanger in the entrance and put it on, and turned back to Ling Li: "How are I looking?" Is there anything weird? ”
Ling Li seriously helped him for reference, a light blue shirt, a dark blue vest and trousers, a smoky gray coat, and a sophisticated dress, but because the color was not so heavy and old-fashioned, it was very commensurate with his temperament, and there was no sense of disobedience at all.
Everything worked flawlessly, except for a few dog hairs on the left shoulder.
Ling Li subconsciously reached out and wanted to twist it down, but before her hand was raised to her chest, suddenly a fair-skinned and soft * was in front of her.
Lu Xiaoxiao held a few dog hairs in her hand, and smiled like a flower: "Teacher Nan, it has been raining every day recently, and the weather is too humid, so you have moldy hair on your body?" ”
He covered his mouth and pretended to have just seen the two dogs sitting in front of him, and chuckled and said, "It turned out to be the dog's hair, which one is this?" ”
She raised her hand, her slender jade fingers were like shallots, her fingertips were lightly held together, her skin was fair and luscious, and the burgundy nails that were dazzling and dazzling a few days ago were replaced with nude tones close to her skin tone, but they were soft and sweet, and her eyes were deliberately wide open, and there was also a curious and innocent little bit of water.
Nan Zhiyi saw that there was another person beside Ling Li, and smiled a little awkwardly, not noticing her deliberately soft posture at all.
The next second, he took the dog hair with a frown, glanced at it and said, "Black with silver tips, obviously rice grains." ”
raised his eyes to look at Lu Xiaoxiao again, and there was something strange in his voice: "Are you color blind?" ”
Lu Xiaoxiao was secretly happy because of the contact with Nan Zhiyi's fingertips, and when she heard this sentence popping out of his mouth, her pretty face stiffened, and she didn't know how to pick it up.
Nan Zhiyi obviously didn't care whether Lu Xiaoxiao was color blind or not, Xing Se hurriedly changed his shoes and went out, walked a few steps, suddenly patted his head and turned around, and pointed at Ling Li and struck at Lu Xiaoxiao: "If you collect property management fees, you look for her." I'm going on a business trip and I'm not at home for three days. ”
"Poof." Ling Li couldn't hold back her laughter.
Sure enough, no matter how dignified he is, Nan Zhiyi is still the same Nan Zhiyi, even if he doesn't understand the style when he speaks, he is still a super big face blind.
Moreover, you also know that he really has no malicious intent, and what he says is exactly what he thinks in his heart. However, this is even more infuriating.
Nan Zhiyi walked away, leaving Lu Xiaoxiao, who was so angry that he was so angry by his legacy that he was alone, and Ling Li, who lowered his head and tried desperately not to laugh but his shoulders trembled.
The place where Lu Xiaoxiao danced the courtship dance this time was unfortunately dug a big pit by Nan Zhiyi, she came in a thousand charms, and before she arrived, she fell into it.
In Nan Zhiyi, Lu Xiaoxiao was just depressed for a while, and within a few minutes, she was full of fighting spirit, shouting that there would be no progress without challenges, and she must let Nan Zhiyi remember her name next time.
However, the fighting spirit is the fighting spirit, the shouting is the shouting, and the word "lazy" written in black _GB2312 italics is written on her face, and naturally she will not put down her body to help Ling Li clean up, even if she bends down to pick up the cup that Nan Zhiyi threw on the coffee table and rolled to the ground, she is too lazy to move.
In the morning, Ling Li's tired back hurt and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her head, while Lu Xiaoxiao didn't care about her image at all, and rolled into a ball with the two dogs, which was known as familiarity in advance.
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't completely cross the river and tear down the bridge, but when Ling Li finished cleaning, she followed her home, and spent half an afternoon and one night, playing the N corners to guide Ling Li about the pre-trial simulation.
However, given that Lu Xiaoxiao is not as familiar with the case as Ling Li, this is just a formality and familiarization with the procedures.
The next day, Ling Li went back to the office to work all day, reading the file over and over again, eager to memorize every word.
There are only three days left before the simulation, and if you don't hurry up, you will be ugly when the time comes, and I don't know what Zhu Jinchuan will say.
Since her first resignation, because of her confrontation with Zhu Jinchuan, she is no longer willing to call him Master, and sometimes she has to be called, and she also calls Director Zhu vaguely.
Zhu Jinchuan didn't care either, maybe in his eyes, he didn't treat Ling Li as his apprentice, it should have been called like this.
However, Zhu Jinchuan's revenge soon came.
Even if he has Lu Xiaoxiao's good teacher, even if he hurries up the time to make up for the class, it is useless for Ling Li, who is being targeted by Zhu Jinchuan.
In the mock trial on Wednesday, Ling Li, as a defense lawyer, was abused very badly by the prosecution.
Lawyer Ma simulated the defendant, Zhu Jinchuan simulated the prosecution, and also invited an arbitrator from the arbitration commission, who is said to be a former colleague of Judge Shen, the presiding judge of Qin Xinghai's retrial, and knows his style better.
At the beginning, the various procedures went down, and it was quite smooth, after all, there was no new evidence.
However, when the cross-examination session began, the combination of these three people played Ling Li, who thought she was well-prepared, to the end of words.
Especially Zhu Jinchuan, he kept digging traps for her to jump.
For example, when Ling Li said: "The police are tired interrogations, which run from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. ”
Zhu Jinchuan replied leisurely: "The defendant in the original trial slept until 5 p.m. that day, and the public security officers seized the time to conduct the interrogation. To say that fatigue interrogation is true, but it is not the tiredness of the interrogator, but the tiredness of the interrogators. ”
When Ling Li put forward again: "Although there are the defendant's fingerprints on the kitchen knife used to commit the crime, he has been living with his parents since he returned to his hometown from the capital, and his fingerprints are on the kitchen knife, which is very normal." ”
Zhu Jinchuan hugged his arms and didn't raise his head: "Of course, ordinary fingerprints are normal, but fingerprints with the victim's blood stains are abnormal." ”
Ling Li adjusted her breathing, as if using a killer move, and threw out what she thought was the finale: "The defendant has always pleaded not guilty, and the guilty confession he made after being informed of the polygraph results is completely induced by the police, and it is illegal verbal evidence, which should be excluded." ”
Zhu Jinchuan didn't refute Ling Li at the first time, but just raised his eyes and stared at her tightly, until he saw that her heart was empty.
After a while, Zhu Jinchuan spoke slowly: "It is recommended that the defense lawyer study what the rules for the exclusion of illegal evidence are, what is a legitimate investigation strategy, and don't get entangled in this simple issue." ”
was hit by a series of critical blows, and the final summary statement, Ling Li stumbled when he spoke, and Zhu Jinchuan's eyebrows were about to twist into twist.
The pre-trial simulation didn't end until almost eight o'clock, and Ling Li only felt that all her strength had been drained, and her stomach was so hungry that she was about to stick to her back.
The arbitrator, who pretended to be a judge, shook his head slightly, and the look in his eyes seemed to be regret, which made Ling Li feel even lower.
Lawyer Ma looked at Ling Li, who was dejected, and encouraged her: "Come on, there is still time." ”
And Zhu Jinchuan mercilessly called her to the office for a sneer.
He slammed the thick stack of documents on the table: "Have you read the file carefully?" Why are so many details not noticed? ”
Ling Li lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, indeed, I don't know if it was because of nervousness or because of her lack of ability, the level of her performance today was unexpectedly poor.
Zhu Jinchuan frowned, with reproach in his voice, counting the mistakes Ling Li made in his defense.
Ling Li lowered her head when she was said, and she didn't dare to raise her eyes.
Zhu Jinchuan spoke for several minutes, paused for a few seconds, looked at her deeply, and said, "Actually, you still found a controversial point correctly, about the validity of the guilty statement after the polygraph. ”
Hearing him say this, Ling Li raised her head with some surprise in her eyes.
It seems that her defense is not useless, at least, there is one point in the right direction.
However, Zhu Jinchuan's next words made her mood fall to the bottom: "If you find the right point but don't insist, as soon as I refute it, you won't dare to continue to fight with reason, what are you afraid of?" Are you afraid of me? If you have such a mentality, then I tell you, when you stand in the courtroom and face the prosecutor's chest badge, you will be even more afraid! ”
Ling Li took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "I know, Director Zhu." ”
Zhu Jinchuan sighed, as if he had finally lost his temper, and his voice calmed down: "In addition, there is one more critical detail, I don't think you must have noticed." On the night of the crime, Qin Xinghai took drugs. For lawyers, the most difficult point of this case is that Qin Xinghai himself does not know whether it is his own case. ”
Ling Li's eyes were full of astonishment, and he was stunned for a few seconds, and then hurriedly lowered his head and flipped out the verdict carefully, looking for where it was written that Qin Xinghai had taken drugs that night.
However, she watched the "court ascertainment" part of the first and second trials several times, but she did not see any clues.
