Regarding this doubt, Huo Ran only briefly mentioned it.

However, there were so many contradictory pieces of evidence in these few pieces of evidence, which inevitably left an initial impression in the hearts of the people who were watching - did the police not seriously solve this case? Just looking for a scapegoat? I heard that this case seemed to have been returned to the prosecution for investigation due to insufficient evidence, but I didn't expect that so many low-level mistakes were still made in the second investigation?

Huo Ran mentioned these points not to show that the police were wrong, but to corroborate the bloodstains.

He continued to speak: "According to the autopsy results, most of Sheng Wan's wounds are on the front, if her wounds are really caused by Xie Shen, then Xie Shen must have had a face-to-face argument with her, and caused damage to Sheng Wan's body face to face. ”

"When the two of them face each other to commit an injurious act, there will be two possibilities in Sheng Wan's posture, one is to lie down on his back in the direction of the force, but in fact, Sheng Wan died on his stomach; The second possibility is that Sheng Wan fell in the direction of Xie Shen, but in this possibility, the blood stains on Sheng Wan's body will definitely splash on Xie Shen's body, and in fact, there are no blood stains on Xie Shen's body. At the same time, if according to the cleaner's confession, Sheng Wan's hands were folded on her chest when she died, it also means that she did not have any resistance and struggle; The fruit knife under the body can also testify that Sheng Wan is likely to be holding the fruit knife in his chest. ”

Huo Ran's point also shows that Xie Shen and Sheng Wan have not had physical contact, Xie Shen cannot be the one who killed Sheng Wan, and Sheng Wan may have committed suicide.

Huo Ran raised his eyes and glanced at the judge: "Presiding judge, we request that the witness Wang Xiaojiao be summoned to appear in court." ”

Wang Xiaojiao was the person who lived in the room next to Xie Shen and Sheng Wan at the time of the crime, and she was not a new witness, but a witness who Huo Ran had applied to the court to appear in court.

The presiding judge nodded and allowed the summons: "Please ask the bailiff to summon the witness Wang Xiaojiao to appear in court!" ”

Xie Shen kept smiling, his thin lips outlined an arc that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he was a little casual, and a little disdainful, as if everything that happened now was separated from him, he saw the new witness appear, the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little colder, and he said: "Yo, there are new witnesses, Lawyer Huo has some ability, it seems that I don't have to go to jail, and my son doesn't have to have a father in prison as soon as he is born, congratulations." ”

The presiding judge's patience with Xie Shen was probably at its peak, and she slammed the gavel: "Warning the defendant again, abide by court discipline!" ”

Xie Shen's eyebrows and eyes smiled deeper, and with a cold sneer, he also quieted down.

Huo Ran asked Wang Xiaojiao: "At the time of the crime, you lived in the next room, did you hear anything?" Please describe in detail what you heard. ”

Wang Xiaojiao said: "I was woken up at about six o'clock in the morning, the sound insulation of the express hotel has not been very good, I heard the sound of someone arguing, so I opened my eyes and looked at the time, it was almost six o'clock in the morning." I lay on the bed, judged the direction of the quarrel, and found that it was from the next room, and I heard the voices of men and women all the time, but I did not hear their conversation clearly. ”

"How long did their quarrel last?"

"It's been a long time, intermittently."

Huo Ran looked at Wang Xiaojiao and asked directly: "Except for the quarrel between the two, did you hear any other sounds?" Like the sound of fighting, like a cry for help? ”

The prosecutor furrowed his brows: "Presiding judge, oppose, the defender adopts inducing questions." ”

This time, the presiding judge stood on Huo Ran's side, she lowered her eyes, wrote something on the paper, and while writing, she dismissed it indifferently: "The objection is invalid, and the defender continues to ask questions." ”

Wang Xiaojiao thought for a while, hesitated, and then replied: "I don't remember very well, but there are no other sounds in my memory, I didn't hear anyone's cries for help, nor did I hear the sound of fighting, only the sound of quarreling." ”

Huo Ran pursed his lips, and a hint of darkness flashed in his deep dark eyes.

His thin lips moved lightly: "If it was really Xie Shen who stabbed Sheng Wan, it would be impossible for Sheng Wan not to call for help or struggle." The forensic report also does not rule out the possibility of suicide. Therefore, please note to the court: we cannot rule out the possibility that the victim committed suicide. ”

The presiding judge asked the prosecutor for his opinion, and what the prosecutor said was that Wang Xiaojiao's memory was no longer clear, and her testimony could not be admissible as evidence.

Xie Shen didn't say anything, but had a happy expression with his eyebrows stretched, but when he looked closely, his eyes were cold, revealing a sense of indifference that he didn't care about anything.

Huo Ran glanced at him lightly, and the emotion in his eyes was colder than Xie Shen's.

This is a criminal litigation case, the doubts are in favor of the defendant, Huo Ran raised so many controversial points, it is impossible for the judge to make a verdict at once, so the presiding judge narrowed his eyes and knocked down the gavel: "Adjournment, retrial tomorrow." ”

As soon as the prosecutor saw that the judge was gone, she put away the things on the table, she glanced at Huo Ran, her chest rose and fell, the corners of her lips pursed, and she turned to chase the judge with an expressionless face.

Xie Shen was escorted by the bailiffs, and he paused as he passed Huo Ran.

There was a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, and the ice under his eyes was heavy.

He tilted his head: "Thank you, Lawyer Huo." He sighed softly, "Sure enough, it is worthy of Huo Ran, even Sheng Wan committed suicide, such a ridiculous idea dared to be put forward in court." ”

Huo Ran didn't have any smile on his face, he was taller than Xie Shen, his eyes were slightly lowered and Xie Shen was stared at, and the temperament around him was cold.

His pupils were dark, and his tone was indifferent: "Didn't you always know that Sheng Wan committed suicide?" ”

Xie Shen's eyes shrunk, he tightened his lips, and smiled sarcastically.

He was about to say something, but the bailiff was already urging him to leave.

There was such a big reversal in the courtroom, and there was no verdict in the end, and the people in the audience didn't quite understand.

An old man stood up: "Let's go, go home for dinner, I don't understand, that suspect has a bad character like that, and he personally admitted to killing someone, why is it impossible to kill someone?" ”

"This is all a game of the powerful, we people can't understand it, please Isn't that lawyer very expensive just now, it looks very powerful, and after saying a few words, the result was changed, and I was stunned."

"I almost bluffed me just now, really, I believed in the logic and reasoning of the lawyer, and I believed that the suspect couldn't kill the little girl, but the suspect just laughed arrogantly, looking relieved, I don't believe the lawyer, the suspect looks like a murderer, saying that he is not a murderer, I really don't believe it, the little girl from the ravine and the countryside, how difficult it is, a good flower girl, has become a trace of grievance."

"I just saw the sad look of the little girl's family, the girl is gone, the parents want compensation, the murderer refuses to give it, I heard that he also insulted the woman's family!"

"It's really not human."

Su Yu raised her eyes and stared at Huo Ran, Huo Ran was facing away from her, she couldn't see his face, she could only see his outline, she walked out of the auditorium and called softly: "Huo Ran." ”

Huo Ran turned around, but his eyes only fell on Su Yu for a moment, and then he raised his eyes to look behind Su Yu - Xie Lao, who was on crutches and undiminishedly majestic.

Xie Lao walked in front of Huo Ran, smiled slightly, and his eyes were rare with a little tolerance and kindness towards his back: "Huo Ran, I really didn't misunderstand you." ”

Huo Ran also smiled slightly: "Old Xie, Sheng Wan did commit suicide, Xie Shen always knew it. ”

His tone was calm.

Xie Lao was stunned when he heard this, his eyes widened slightly, and his sharp eyes were tightly locked on Huo Ran, as if he was judging whether he was lying.

Huo Ran pulled Su Yu over, there was a light in his pupils, but it was more like a jumping fire, he smiled, and said to Xie Lao lightly: "See you tomorrow." ”

Letting Xie Lao stay in place, he clenched his crutches and tightened his face, as if he wanted to vent his emotions, but he had nowhere to vent.

*

Xie Shen's case is still full of fog.

Even if Huo Ran and Su Yu speculated that Sheng Wan committed suicide based on the existing evidence, the speculation is only speculation after all, if this is in the United States, where the rule of law is developed, these doubts are enough for Xie Shen to be acquitted, but this is in China, these doubts can prove too little, and even create a bunch of new doubts, they don't know if the court will accept this suspicion and choose to acquit Xie Shen.

If Sheng Wan really committed suicide, then why did Xie Shen say that he killed him? When Sheng Wan committed suicide, where was Xie Shen? On site? Dead or unconscious? If he dies and does not save him, will he still be prosecuted for manslaughter caused by not actively fulfilling his duty to help?

Huo Ran didn't look at Su Yu, he could guess Su Yu's thoughts, he said lightly: "Eat first, you can see Xie Shen again in the afternoon, and after seeing him, all problems may be solved." ”

The two walked out of the chamber together.

Huo Ran asked, "What do you want to eat at noon?" ”

Su Yu couldn't think of what to eat, she lowered her eyebrows, her mind was full of Xie Shen and Sheng Wan, and when she raised her eyes, she saw the prosecutor and Sheng Wan's mother not far away.

The prosecutor held a pile of case files in her hands, she pursed her lips, her brow tightly locked, her steps a little hurried, her high heels tapping on the marble floor, her voice crisp.

Sheng Wan's mother also frowned, and her face was worried: "Prosecutor, how do you say the judge will judge Wanwan's case?" That Xie Shen, will Xie Dashao be sentenced? ”

The prosecutor pursed his lips and pulled a smile at Sheng Wan's mother: "I don't know, I don't know what the judge thinks, but I will do my best to get justice for Sheng Wan, don't worry." ”

Sheng Wan's mother asked again: "The one mentioned earlier...... What is the civil incidental ...... Indemnify! Yes, even if it is civil incidental compensation, will it be sued together? ”

The prosecutor tugged at the corners of his lips, still smiling: "Don't worry, I have already submitted civil incidental compensation, don't worry." ”

"How much is the civil incidental damages? Is it still two million as mentioned before? This is a common idea of our family. Two million is enough, and it doesn't need too much, it's enough for my favorite brother to get married and buy a house later, and we are not the kind of greedy people...... It's just that we pity us late and die so miserably...... was stabbed dozens of times by Xie Shen, who killed a thousand knives, and there was no meat on his body that was good, I heard before that the eldest young master of the Xie family often beat us late! She said, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, paused, and continued: "Leave late and late, what should we do if we are a big family?" In the past, our family saved money for her to study, but she was finally about to graduate, and even her life was gone. Those of us who are old and immortal, it's okay to suffer a little, but what about the younger brother of Wanwan? She used to love this brother the most, and she was not willing to let her brother eat at all, and she wanted to give her brother anything good...... Wanwan is gone, who will raise my son? So, prosecutor, you must help us get the compensation, we definitely don't want my brother to suffer sooner or later, this is also her last wish. ”
