Zhu Jinchuan didn't speak, only threw a piece of paper to her. Ling Li picked up the piece of paper, there were only a few words on it, a lot of arrows and symbols, as if he had drawn them casually on the paper when he was thinking.

She was a little confused in the derivation process, but in the end, all the arrows and wavy lines pointed to the words "counterfeit money" and "real murderer".

Zhu Jinchuan explained to her: "There are two key issues involving wood, one is drugs, and the other is counterfeit money. Qin Xinghai himself admitted that he had bought Magu, so the remaining problems that made the procuratorate have some doubts must be 50,000 yuan. ”

She thought about it for a long time, but she still didn't understand it, so she simply threw down the paper and stopped worrying, and sighed again: "You guys play tricks, your heart is really dirty!" ”

The procuratorate set up an ambush and carried out a surprise attack, and the lawyer set a trap for a tooth for a tooth, which is nothing, and the most outrageous thing is that he deliberately wanted to interrupt the trial from the beginning, which seemed bold to her.

Zhu Jinchuan didn't care about her complaints, and smiled slightly: "There is still the second half." Even if you know that the witness has a problem, how can you bypass the prosecutor and ask you what you want to know? Obviously, it is not enough to rely on the kung fu of his mouth, since he dares to let him go to court, he must be fully prepared, what can and cannot be said, he probably remembers more firmly than his surname.

But fortunately, Mu Chu is an ethnic minority and has faith. They pay attention to nature worship, believing that when people die, the soul will not be scattered, and if there are descendants to send the spirit to the soul, the dead will become an auspicious spirit, and vice versa, it will be troublesome. ”

Ling Li nodded suddenly in understanding, Mu Chu was already a little weak-hearted, he was questioned twice by Qin Xinghai, he was already a little panicked, and then he was bluffed by Zhu Dazhuo, and there was a flaw.

She thought about it, and suddenly laughed, her voice full of schadenfreude: "That kid surnamed Chen had bad intentions to carry out a surprise attack, and as a result, it was really a prophecy, and the prosecution witnesses made testimony in favor of the defense, which really shot himself in the foot." ”

Her rare vivid expression made Zhu Jinchuan involuntarily hook the corners of his mouth.

Since she was coaxed by Lu Xiaoxiao to stop wearing glasses, this little wild girl's face is much more pleasing to the eye, no longer dull, occasionally laughing, and her eyes seem to have a layer of starlight.

After laughing, his eyes darkened: "Thanks to Qin Xinghai's trust in me very much, if I let Qin Xinghai make trouble, he will make a big fuss in the court, disturb Mu Zhu's mind, and don't care about whether it will affect the commutation of sentence." and Hua Zhao, I said that I asked her to throw her shoes and smash the person she had wanted to smash for a long time, and I immediately agreed. ”

Ling Li was a little worried: "However, the bailiff took her away, and I am afraid that she will be taken into judicial custody." ”

Zhu Jinchuan shook his head slowly: "Don't worry, she is a well-known petitioner, and the bailiff is also afraid of getting into trouble, so at most she will come out again after two days of official squatting." Besides, I specifically instructed her not to really smash the presiding judge when she smashed, you see, how smart she is. ”

Ling Li thought about the cause and effect clearly, and only felt that such a case handling process and such a defense method were completely beyond her imagination, and it was not the right way at all.

It's just that I wish Jinchuan a bad and unscrupulous means, but this is all for the benefit of the client. And when it comes to income, such a case is not as good as Zhu Jinchuan providing half-day consultation for the parties.

Ling Li sighed a little and was a little worried: "Master, you are not a superman to maintain world peace, even if Qin Xinghai is pitiful, you can't take yourself for him, this offends the procuratorate and calculates the court's affairs, so let's do less." ”

The serious and worried look in her eyes made Zhu Jinchuan stunned for a moment.

Ling Li used to accuse him of being a turtle in this case for fear of offending the procuratorate, but now he is not cowardly at all, but he has begun to worry about him again.

She is really simple, as long as she follows the hair, she can be honest with him, regardless of her previous position, and worry about his safety.

It's just that if you let her know the truth, will you break with him completely?

Zhu Jinchuan hesitated a little. I have always felt that my heart is cold and hard, and my relatives don't recognize it, so I naturally don't care what a stubborn girl thinks of him.

It's just that the dependence and trust inadvertently revealed in those fawn-like eyes made him more and more unable to let go. Until now, I can't even bear to expose everything behind it.

However, for a moment, he was relieved.

With the current situation of the case, it is completely in accordance with his expectations that it will develop in a good direction. As long as the court's investigation and evidence collection have results, he is confident that he will be able to break through the seemingly tight chain of evidence from a small link.

So, you don't have to go that far, do you?

Thinking of this, his eyebrows stretched, and there was a smile in his voice: "Okay, I remember." ”

Originally, Ling Li thought that the court would investigate the evidence for a long time, and the case would not be concluded until after the Spring Festival.

However, only five days later, Zhu Jinchuan received a phone call from the court, saying that he had already reached the results of the court's investigation and collection of evidence, and that he wanted to give an explanation to the prosecution and defense.

Ling Li was a little surprised, she had never found that the court was so efficient, and Zhu Jinchuan was used to seeing it.

Two days later, Ling Li sat in the court's interview room.

On one side of the long conference table was her and Zhu Jinchuan, and opposite was the prosecutor surnamed Chen from the procuratorate. He turned a pen in his hand with a gloomy face, and from time to time glanced at her with eyes that seemed to have been quenched with ice.

Ling Li was a little uncomfortable by him, and he lowered his head unnaturally to look at a blank piece of paper in front of him, motionless.

Before Shen Mu arrived, Zhu Jinchuan raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and then looked sideways at the little rookie who was glared at at him honestly by the prosecutor opposite, and the corners of his mouth hooked. Ling Li's virtue in this nest can scare her with a fledgling kid on the other side, but she dares to shake his face with him in the office.

He gently approached her direction and whispered softly in her ear: "I think, it must be because the Spring Festival is coming, and the judge doesn't want to delay the trial of this case until after the Spring Festival." Also, in a few days, Hua Zhao's judicial detention will expire, and the presiding judge doesn't want to let her * go in the courtroom, so he naturally wants to take advantage of her absence to get this matter done quickly. ”

This was to explain the question just now to her, and Ling Li couldn't help but sneer when she remembered the farce of that day, and when she saw Zhu Jinchuan's slightly blaming expression on his face, she immediately lowered her head and smiled.

Zhu Jinchuan said softly again: "This case is over, you will go to work again after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there is too much overtime these days, you can take a good rest." ”

Ling Li felt a little flattered, and hurriedly raised her head: "I'm not tired, I've never been so fulfilling." ”

Zhu Jinchuan was about to speak, when suddenly there was a noise at the door, but it was Shen Mu who walked in, and the girl in her twenties who followed behind him, they had met during the previous trial, it was Shen Mou's judge's assistant Xiao Cui.

Assistant Cui put a thick stack of materials in front of them, and put the same information in front of the prosecutor. This is the testimony of witnesses taken ex officio by the court.

Shen Mou began his opening remarks: "In accordance with the application of the complainant, the collegial panel obtained the testimony of a total of seven witnesses, including the three inmates who were detained in the same room as the defendant in the original trial, the three neighbors of the victim, and the creditors of the defendant in the original trial. The investigation and evidence collection went smoothly and has now been completed. The testimony will be cross-examined in court five days later. ”

He paused, and then looked at Zhu Jinchuan: "Lawyer Zhu, you are familiar with the materials first, today's meeting can be used as a pre-trial exchange of evidence, and the undisputed part between you and both sides will be confirmed, and when the time for the trial is held, there will be no more evidence that is not disputed and accepted by both parties." ”

Zhu Jinchuan nodded, and his voice was calm: "I have no opinion." ”

After that, he took a deep breath, picked up the stack of materials, and began to skim through them quickly.

For a while, there was no sound in the meeting room except for the rattling of the paper when turning the materials.

Ling Li secretly glanced sideways at Zhu Jinchuan's side face. His face was more solemn than ever, his eyes were focused and serious, sometimes he picked up the pen to make marks, and sometimes his eyes took off the information, as if he was thinking.

Ling Li silently clenched her fists, feeling a slight sweat in her palms, knowing that she was a little nervous. Victory or defeat is in one fell swoop, which is related to Zhu Jinchuan's five-year preparation and the planning of these days.

Half an hour later, Zhu Jinchuan read it first, closed the information in his hand, his face was indifferent, and his clean and neat facial features were also plated a little cold by the cold white fluorescent lamp on the roof.

Ling Li looked at him with some apprehension, some anticipation in her eyes. She was waiting for the inevitable smile on the corner of his mouth to appear, as long as there was that expression, then there was hope for this case.

However, it wasn't until ten minutes later, when the prosecutor on the opposite side also finished reading the materials, that Ling Li didn't see any expression on his face.

I only felt that my heart was gradually sinking, Ling Li couldn't help frowning, and there was no grasp in her heart.

Shen Mu's voice sounded: "Since I have finished reading it, then, first ask the lawyer of the defendant in the original trial to express his opinion." ”

Zhu Jinchuan nodded, lowered his eyes again, and opened the stack of materials in his hand. The moment he lowered his head, a smile opened at the corner of his mouth.

Ling Li blinked, a little afraid that it was her own delusion. But when I think about it carefully, my heart settles down.

He did smile just now, and although it was faint and disappeared quickly, she saw it very clearly.

Sure enough, more than ten seconds later, Zhu Jinchuan pointed to a certain page of witness testimony, and his voice was clear and brisk: "Here, page 97, Qin Xinghai's neighbor named Shama Ayi, her testimony proves that that night, she heard someone arguing next door. Listening to the voice, it looks like Qin Xinghai's parents. ”

The prosecutor's face was frighteningly dark, and he quickly turned to the page, looked down a few times, and then raised his head again, with some confusion in his eyes.

Zhu Jinchuan turned to the front page again and compared the testimonies of several other neighbors: "The two families who live in the northeast of the Qin family also said that at about seven o'clock, they heard someone from the Qin family coming, made a noise and left again, and then there was no noise. It was about nine o'clock when there was another noise. It's just that their house is far away from the Qin family, and as for who is arguing, I can't really hear it. ”

After saying this paragraph, Zhu Jinchuan pointed to another paragraph: "Also, this relative of the Qin family named Qin Yongfei confirmed that Father Qin's early departure and late return some time before his death was actually going to a neighboring town to gamble money. He is obsessed with bullfighting, completely by luck, and if someone sets up a game, he will lose badly. ”
