Chapter Eighty-Four: The Critical Mattress
"What else do you want to quibble!" Avery yelled at Spark.
"It's not a quibble, if you think about it, what has been ascertained in this case is only what happened in the room outside, and there is no way to know what happened inside! Let's take a look at the photos of the scene now, is there a lot of debris on the ground! β
After listening to Spark's words, everyone reviewed the photos of the interior of the room where Xuanyuan had collected evidence, and in addition to the bloody Yahaha, there were many other things on the floor, toothbrushes, cups, towels, soap, etc. Apparently this room is used as a rest room on weekdays, probably after working overtime and taking a nap here.
The main proof of this is that on the west side of the room, there is also a Simmons placed vertically, and as in the layout of the next room, there is a window on the north side.
"Look, this metal hahaha, he's not an ordinary toy! Instead, it's called a figurine. This one...... The reason why the figure is called a figure is because it has a base underneath!! On weekdays, it can be placed vertically. β
"What do you want to say, defender? Is there any difference between a toy and a figurine? The presiding judge asked.
"Because if it's a figure placed on the ground, there is a possibility that the victim stepped on the towel after entering the room, no! I guess I stepped on the soap!! The soles of my feet slipped, and I slipped over and fell on this haha! Thus being pierced through the chest by the spikes of this figure!! β
Spark's analysis was well-reasoned and won a round of applause, and this possibility cannot be ruled out at this time.
Most people have the experience of slipping and falling on weekdays, and it is very possible that this kind of thing will happen in this chaos.
From the perspective of no suspicion of guilt, if the prosecution cannot prove that it was the defendant Mi Sha who picked up Yahaha and stabbed the victim to death, then it is also possible to deal with it as an accident.
After all, there are not a few people who die because of slipping and falling every year.
"No way, we've already done a trace identification, and the towels and soap on the scene don't have any footprints that he has stepped on. Except for the marginal areas, no footprints of the victim were detected even in the middle of the room. Therefore, if you slip and fall as you said, it should leave obvious traces, such as slipping and elongated footprints, according to the identification, such traces do not exist at present. β
Well? Well?
Sparker looked at the photo and suddenly realized a problem.
Why was the victim's body, when he fell, facing the accused?
Judging from the white figure drawn at the scene, the victim died with his feet facing the window to the north and his head to the door to the south.
"This ...... There's something wrong with the direction in which this corpse fell. If, according to the prosecution, the victim was inserted into the chest by the defendant with a yaha, then the position where he fell should be his head to the north and he fell under force. After thinking about it for a while, he found an even more bizarre question: "Moreover, if he was really inserted into his chest all at once, he should have fallen face to the sky, and at most he was lying on his side, why did he ...... What about falling to the ground? β
Avery actually noticed this detail, but it shouldn't be a big problem: "It's very simple, that is, after the victim was inserted into the chest by the murder weapon, he walked a few steps forward, walked to the window, turned half a circle in a reductive way, and finally collapsed due to excessive blood loss, so his feet were on the north side." And the body is heavier because of this metal, so it falls underneath. β
Half a circle? Did it really turn around?
"That's not right! If, according to what you said, he walked to the window and also turned half a circle, then why is there no blood sprayed on the surrounding walls ?? Right! Bloodstain! One more question! Why was there no blood on the defendant Misha at that time? If, as you mentioned, it was his chest that he inserted into it! There should be blood stains on the defendant Misha! β
This......
"One more point! According to what you said, after this hahaha was inserted into his chest, he walked to the window? Then why are there no footprints, let's go back and forth, you just said [no footprints of the victim were detected in the middle of the room]. Where did the footprints go?! β
These two questions were also asked by Prosecutor Avery at once, and she never considered where the sprayed blood had gone. After all, this room was a secret room at the time, and there were many possibilities, such as the defendant using plastic sheeting to cover himself, such as whether a third person was present.
For example, is it ...... Isn't it...... Chamber? Footprint?
Why are there no footprints?
Why is it that in the middle of the room, where this kind of fight has been made, there are no footprints at all?
Even if he walked to the window, there should have been obvious footprints and bloody footprints in the middle.
Did it fly over?
Why do the witnesses see nothing from the outside, even though there are windows?
If the victim walked to the window, why didn't the witness see it?
All the clues come together and it seems that there can be a reasonable explanation!!
It suddenly dawned on Avery that she was thinking in the wrong direction: "I understand, we missed a key thing in this case!" It's also something that can explain everything reasonably!! β
The presiding judge was whetted, and it seemed that this impasse would soon be broken: "Oh oh oh? What is it? β
"It's a mattress! It's this mattress that is placed on the side!! β
Sparker looked at it for a long time, and there was no blood on this mattress, and there were no footprints, what does it have to do with this case?
"This mattress is used by the defendant and other staff members to work overtime and rest on weekdays. And when they are not in use, the mattress is placed aside, but ...... That day, the day of the crime. Avery redrew the layout of the room: "On the day of the crime, after this mattress was used, it was moved, and it was not placed on the west side, but by the north window, blocking the window!" So the witness Wei Shunfeng didn't see anything from the window at that time! It's blocked by this mattress! β
Oh!!! Everyone was amazed at once, no wonder there was a contradiction between the witness's speech and the scene, I see! Avery continues:
After the defendant and the victim entered the room, the defendant used his strong strength to lift the victim and throw him out like a rugby ball, throwing him on the vertical mattress! The victim then bounced off the mattress and landed on the ground on the ground with a haha, and was then pierced through the chest by the metal hahaha placed on the ground. β
|βββ window βββ|
|ββMattress βββ|
|βββββββ|
|ββCorpse βββ|
|βββββββ door
|βββββββ|
This would explain why there are no footprints in the room!
Because after the victim was thrown, he flew through the air and then bounced to the ground!
And this could also explain why the witness, the Batman, could not see anything outside the room.
It could also explain why the blood was not sprayed around the room.
It can also explain why the body was facing the ground with its feet facing the window.
"Isn't that so? Defendant? β
"Yes......" Defendant Misha had to admit that this was what happened at the time.
"So! We can conclude that at that time, the defendant knew that there were dangerous objects in the room, but deliberately threw people over, so even if he did not have the intention to kill, he had the intention to injure people, and the prosecution believes that the crime of intentional injury causing death should be established! β
In this way, the whole thing seems to be free of any doubt, and all the clues are connected and explained clearly.
"That's not right! That wasn't the case then! As the defendant's lawyer, Sparker used every bit of strength to see a loophole.
"Oh? So how? β
"You just said that the defendant saw the situation in the room at that time, and knew that there were dangerous items in the room, but he couldn't see clearly in the room at that time!"
"Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? It was daytime when the incident happened, how could I not see clearly? Avery took out the photo he had taken at that time, the sun was shining outside the window, and the room was very transparent.
"That's right! It's clear in this photo, but, according to what you said, the light source at the time, the window, was blocked by the Simmons mattress! So it should have been pitch black in the room at that time, and the moment the defendant threw the victim out, he couldn't see anything clearly in the dark room, and he even thought that there might be a Simmons mattress on the ground over there! And afterwards, he realized that something was wrong, moved Simmons away, let the sunlight through the window, and found that the victim's body was lying on the ground!! So! This is not a case of intentional injury, but ...... It's negligence causing death!! β
She said a lot of things in one breath.
The whole court is silent, intentional and negitrant, two completely different states.
One is full of malice, while the other belongs, not foreseeing because of negligence.
As a human being, even if it is a bear man, of course he knows that his act of throwing people out will cause some damage, and he doesn't even know that there is a haha on the ground in the dark room.
"You're not right! This room should be used by the defendant on a normal day, and of course he knows what is placed on the floor. "Alley is not to be outdone, even if the room is dark, can you just throw it over if you are covered with a mountain of swords and a sea of fire? The defendant apparently knew about it.
"No, no, no, he obviously doesn't know, because that's what your prosecution's witness just said, why don't I help you remember it?" Sparker has finally found a breakthrough!
[That day, I went to their office to deliver a courier, which was sent to the owner of this Jingang real estate, named Zhang Shenkui. There was a long courier sent from Longquan Town, with the words Sword of Exorcism written on it. γ
"Isn't that so? This sword of exorcism is actually the weapon used by Zelda, the protagonist of Breath of the Wild! I BELIEVE THEIR BOSS, WHO IS A COSPLAY ENTHUSIAST, SENDS SOME OF THE THINGS HE BUYS ONLINE ON WEEKDAYS TO THIS OFFICE FOR STORAGE, SO ...... This ha is not the defendant's item! It's his boss, Zhang Shenkui, who bought it and put it there! Isn't that so? Defendant! β
"Yes...... I really didn't buy it, my salary is not high, and the boss still wants me to play mahjong and cut my leeks on weekdays...... I don't really have the extra money to buy these things......"
"This ......"
It seems that the direction of the case is very clear.
Whether it was intentional or negligent, the collegial panel and the jury have their own conclusions.
