Chapter VI: Court Hearings
Wen Yao exhaled softly: "The account is mine, is there any problem?" Su Sheng is a student of my public elective course this semester. ”
"Did Su Sheng go to look for you that night?"
Wen Yao felt funny, she raised her eyebrows: "At night? What am I doing when I meet with a male student at night? ”
Su Yu pursed his lips: "Su Sheng went out that night, but he refused to say where he went, if Teacher Wen knew......"
Huo Ran interrupted Su Yu's words, looking at the faint bruises on Wen Yao's forehead: "Teacher Wen has a bad relationship with her husband?" ”
Wen Yao: "It's not good, it's not bad, it's like most couples in this city." ”
Su Yu: "Teacher Wen's Weibo said that it is ...... to die"
"One to die?" Wen Yao smiled, "That sentence is taken from Haizi's suicide note, I am a teacher of the Chinese department, and I have the habit of copying, isn't it strange?" ”
Huo Ran suddenly asked a strange question: "Teacher Wen is very good at cutting rabbit apples?" ”
"Is this heavy?" Wen Yao's patience seemed to run out, and she looked at her watch, "Sorry, I still have to take class." ”
Su Yu hurriedly said: "Teacher Wen, Su Sheng is now in custody, and there will be a trial in a few days, if there is no alibi, he will have to pay a terrible price for what he has not done at all, if you know anything......
"I don't know." Wen Yao interrupted her and turned to leave.
As soon as Su Yu wanted to catch up, his hand was grabbed by Huo Ran.
Not far away, there was a man standing, in a suit and leather shoes, handsome and fair-skinned, with a gentle temperament, he walked over when he saw Wen Yao, I don't know what the two said, the man glanced at Huo Ran, smiled gently, he took Wen Yao's shoulder, and the two walked in the direction of the school.
Although the man is gentle, his back reveals a sense of youth.
Wen Yao's husband is also a teacher at this school.
On the way back, Su Yu was still reading Wen Yao's information, Wen Yao's husband is a math teacher, and he seems to be quite popular with students, Su Sheng and Xie Suixing have both taken his classes, Xie Suixing is still his previous teaching assistant, and at the same time, Wen Yao's husband is also the leader of the college, young and promising.
The case seems to have reached a dead end, but the trial will start tomorrow.
Su Yu felt that Huo Ran in court would not be able to defend himself.
She looked at him.
Huo Ran's expression was calm, his eyebrows and eyes were handsome and cold, and he couldn't see any emotion, and after a long time, he said, "It'll be fine." ”
*
"Lawyer Huo, do you still have to defend your innocence today?"
"Lawyer Huo, do you have any new evidence to discover?"
"Lawyer Huo, how sure are you about this lawsuit?"
Huo Ran's face did not have any expression, this trial was not public, the media reporter was stopped outside, Su Yu was wearing a slim suit and skirt, pulling a suitcase, and following him, she was only a trainee lawyer, so she could not enter the trial area, so she could only bypass through another door and sit in the auditorium.
The executing bailiff enters the court first.
Huo Ran stood outside the door waiting for the clerk to inform, and the man in the prosecutor's uniform stood beside Huo Ran, with a long figure, his slender fingers sorted out his clothes, and hooked the corners of his lips: "Lawyer Huo, instead of defending not guilty, it is better to think about how to help your defendant fight for a reduced sentence, for this kind of suspect who has conclusive evidence but refuses to admit guilt, my task is to let him spend the rest of his life in prison." ”
Scold.
Huo Ran didn't look at him, sneered in a low voice, and was about to say something: "Qin Jian ......."
However, the voice of the clerk came from inside the courtroom: "Please invite the prosecutor and defender to enter the courtroom." ”
Huo Ran didn't say anything anymore, pushed open the door, and was dressed in a pure black suit, which made him taller and taller.
*
Su Yu sat in the first row of the auditorium, and the moment she saw Su Sheng being escorted in by the bailiff, her face changed.
Su Sheng's face was bruised, the corners of her eyes were bruised, like traces of a beating, and her expression was also very bad, she twisted her eyebrows, turned her eyes to look at Huo Ran, Huo Ran signaled her to calm down first.
Su Sheng sat in the defendant's chair next to Huo Ran, and the bailiff lifted the handcuffs for him.
After the judge knocked down the gavel and verified the basic information of the case, the prosecutor opposite stood up and began to read the indictment.
Su Sheng's fingers were clenched tightly, and his eyes were red.
After reading out, the presiding judge looked at Su Sheng: "Defendant Su Sheng, do you have any opinions on the facts and charges of the crime charged in the indictment?" ”
Su Sheng glanced at Su Yu in the audience, only to feel that his chest was swollen, painful, and his eyes were hot and painful, and he gritted his teeth: "Yes, I didn't kill anyone." ”
As soon as the words ended, there was a commotion in the auditorium.
Xie Suixing's mother stood up suddenly, she was very thin, her sideburns were all white, and her eyes were covered with red silk.
She almost collapsed: "Murderer, you lie, you have to pay for the star's life, the star used to like you so much...... But you killed her...... You still don't plead guilty!! You're going to keep her dead from looking ...... I'm going to fight with you! ”
As she spoke, her body was like a broken kite, crumbling, and the girl next to her hurriedly supported her: "Auntie! ”
The tip of Su Yu's nose was sour, and his eyes were hot.
The presiding judge struck the gavel a few times and said loudly: "Silence! He looked at Qin Yu, "Next, the prosecutor will question the defendant about the facts of the crime of intentional homicide charged by the defendant Su Sheng in the indictment." ”
Qin Yu raised his eyes and met Huo Ran's gaze, and after a while, he fell on Su Sheng's body: "Su Sheng, what are you doing between 12 and 2 o'clock in the morning on the night of the crime?" ”
Su Sheng: "At about 12 o'clock in the morning, I went out for business, and I didn't return to the apartment until about half past one, because of the heavy rain and power outage, I couldn't see anything, but I smelled a strong smell of blood, and stepped on the fruit knife, so I turned on the flashlight on my mobile phone and picked up the knife, and then I saw Sui Xing lying on the floor covered in blood......
Qin Yu: "At 12 o'clock in the morning, where did you go out?" ”
Su Sheng's heart tightened, his cheeks moved, but he didn't say anything.
Qin Yu continued to ask: "Are there any witnesses?" ”
Su Sheng was silent.
Qin Yu: "Are you driving out?" ”
Before Su Sheng could answer, Huo Ran's cold voice sounded: "Objection, the prosecutor is inducing the defendant." ”
Presiding Judge: "The objection is valid, please pay attention to the way the prosecutor asks questions." ”
Qin Yu smiled: "Okay, then may I ask the defendant, which way do you go out?" ”
Qin Yu: "It's raining so hard, according to common sense, you generally choose to drive, why did you choose to walk?" ”
"Because it's so close to where you go."
Qin Yu further asked, "Where did you go?" ”
Huo Ran raised his eyelids, and his dark eyes were fixed: "Oppose, repeat the question." ”
Presiding Judge: "The objection is valid. ”
Qin Yu looked straight at Su Sheng: "Do you smoke marijuana?" ”
"Don't suck."
"Then why did marijuana come out of your apartment?"
Qin Yu was silent again, his cheeks moved and moved, and finally calmed down.
Qin Yu smiled directly: "Defendant, that is, you can't tell where you are at the time of the crime, and there are no witnesses, and even the way you go out is questioned, claiming that you don't take drugs, but you have marijuana in your home, is it buying and selling drugs?" Before Huo Ran said "oppose", Qin Yu quickly said, "Presiding Judge, my interrogation is here for the time being. ”
The presiding judge looked at Huo Ran: "Does the defender want to question the defendant?" ”
Huo Ran's slender fingers lightly buckled on the table, and he said lightly: "Yes." ”
Huo Ran raised his eyebrows: "Did you use that fruit knife before the crime?" ”
Su Sheng said: "I used it, and I just finished cutting the apple that day." ”
"After cutting, have you cleaned it?"
Su Sheng paused and pursed his lips: "...... No, I don't have the habit of washing dishes. ”
Qin Yu sneered: "Presiding judge, this issue has nothing to do with this case. ”
Before the presiding judge could speak, Huo Ran said, "Presiding judge, my question is over for the time being. ”
Qin Yu was stunned, he didn't expect Huo Ran to give up after only asking these two questions.
Su Yu's expression was slightly shocked.
And Su Sheng's pale lips moved, and he closed his eyes, as if he would shed tears in the next second.
