Chapter 22: The Heart-Digging Case

"According to China's criminal law, the defendant's actions have already committed Article 232 of intentional homicide, and he does not admit guilt and repent, and the number of victims is large, and the prosecution demands that the death penalty be imposed."

The prosecution issued its own sentencing opinion, and in order to treat the case carefully, Xuanyuan sent their elite, Prosecutor Avery Prosecutor. Although she had never seen her, Sparker knew that she graduated at the same time as Luo Yide, older than herself, wearing a prosecutor's blue shirt and a ponytail, and her face actually had a hint of minority style, capable and tight.

Death penalty!

Death penalty!

Death penalty!

The crowd of onlookers around them cooperated and shouted.

The Witch of Blood.

The name has spread on the Internet.

With the interpretation of various experts and gods, the versions circulating on the Internet have gradually evolved into many varieties.

The film and television blogger's version says that she has to bathe in blood every night to keep her youth forever.

The food blogger's version says that she uses human blood to make Mao Xuewang and roasts people with cheese, which is a traditional demon dish.

The game blogger's version says that she wants to absorb the magic from the hearts of those living people, summon demon kings, and rebuild her father's former empire.

The most is some digital bloggers who say that the victims may have stolen the new styling secrets of a mobile phone company, and that she was sent to kill people.

All sorts of bizarre explanations, plus gossip and cries from some of the victims' families.

The entire Internet was in an uproar, netizens were indignant, and public opinion believed that the evidence was conclusive and demanded the death penalty.

Because the pressure to open the trial was too great and there were so many people to observe, the trial had to be moved to the square in front of the courthouse again. But fortunately, it is already November, and the weather is not as scary as the autumn tiger in September, and it is not very uncomfortable to sit in the square.

After waiting for the voices of the surrounding crowd to calm down, the presiding judge began to ask: "Attorney of the defendant, what do you have to cross-examine the prosecution's evidence?" ”

Sparky stood up, stiff to be honest...... The prosecution's chain of evidence really seems to be fine.

At least it looks fine.

Surveillance footage shows that on May 3, the suspect Luo Xi and the victim Jingyi walked into 14 apartment buildings at around 16:30 in the afternoon.

Jingyi's mobile phone, after 17 o'clock on the same day, has never consumed and used the new 6G traffic except for the answering signal.

On the dagger buried in the zoo, Luo Xi's fingerprints and Jingyi's blood stains were found, and the dagger Luo Xi admitted that she usually cut the fruit.

And the women's shirt wrapped on the outside, which is often worn by Loshi himself, has blood stains, and Loshi's dander is found.

The roll of tape in the package is the same type of tape wrapped around the victim Jingyi's body, which is specially treated and has a certain antiseptic effect.

Therefore, the body of the victim Jingyi has been placed at home for a long time, and it is only air-dried and does not decompose.

According to the forensic report, the time of death is inferred to be between the end of May and the beginning of June, because there are many environmental interference factors, and there will be some errors before and after.

According to Luo Xi's own confession, she had a good impression of the other party when she met each other on the road before, and added WeChat.

I made an appointment to go to his house to play, and when I got to his house to chat, I found that it was not fun, so I left......

This statement is really pale and weak, and it can't be washed away even if you jump into the Yellow River.

"I think there are several doubts about the evidence in this case." Sparker knew she was reluctant to tell the secret about the Brave until she had to: "First of all, it's the surveillance footage. ”

She sat up straight and began to cross-examine the evidence: "According to the surveillance video of the community, the two of them ...... The suspect and the victim entered the apartment building at 4:30 p.m. on May 3. At the same time, surveillance showed that the suspect Loshi left at 16:45. There are only 15 minutes in total, and the time to go up and down the stairs is also subtracted, and even if you take the elevator, you have to deduct 2 minutes. And the remaining 13 minutes, to complete the killing, digging out the heart, bloodletting, and wrapping the body with duct tape. With the strength of a woman, it is almost impossible to do. We can watch a demo video."

Spark's video resonated with the collegial panel and the jury.

Indeed, if it's just killing people and digging out hearts and bloodletting, maybe this time can be done, and it can be done in 5 minutes if it's fast. The shroud, on the other hand, takes a lot of time, and a woman needs to constantly lift an adult man, wrap the tape under the corpse, and then wrap it back from the other side, like a fitness tire turn. Hundreds of times like this, you can't do it without a certain amount of hard workout, and you can't do it with a certain amount of muscle.

And the demon race is not a race with particularly outstanding physical fitness, even in the other world, it is often a legal profession.

The suspect Loshi looked even weaker.

If it's a female orc...... Maybe it's a lot more likely.

After reading it, Prosecutor Aili smiled: "What the defender said seems to be very reasonable, indeed, if you follow the way of the defender, step by step to kill, bloodletting, digging out the heart, and finally wrapping the body, it is not enough time to operate step by step." But ......"

But? Sparker glanced at her, do you want to say that demons have superpowers? Can you use the levitation technique?

After coming to this world, all the people from the other world have lost their magic and cannot use magic, which is already common knowledge in the Shushan Special Zone.

Even a creature like a dragon can only fly and spit fire, and it is a large airship at best.

Or...... Does she have proof that Loshi is exceptional? Or does Loshi have some other abilities?

Sparker didn't know what the other party wanted to say, so he could only let her continue.

But what if the order is different? Let's assume in a 13-minute timeframe, count you waiting for the elevator and I'll let you have another 1 minute, 12 minutes. When both parties enter the room, what if the shrouds are the first to be shrouded? ”

This is complete nonsense, Sparker clasped his hands and smiled, "You mean that when people are still alive, they wrap their bodies first?" How can you ......?"

Laughing and laughing, it seems that something is wrong.

The Aili prosecutor looked at her gradually stiffened face, and seemed to understand: "Yes, as you think, after the suspect and the victim entered the house, they first ...... For all sorts of reasons. Anyway, they first made an appointment to play on WeChat, adults understand, let the victim voluntarily wrap his whole body with tape, so that the victim only needs to rotate in place. Especially this kind of mature big sister, who doesn't want to be tied up by a big sister? After speaking, he raised his hand and turned around twice, probably thinking that the action was a little silly, so he stopped: "And then, the victim who was tied up to play had no ability to resist at all, even a weak woman could easily pierce his chest, drain his blood, and then dig out his heart." In that case, 12 minutes is too much. ”

After careful consideration, if the victim was voluntarily tied up, I am afraid that two or three minutes would be enough, and with the addition of bloodletting, ten minutes should be enough.

Sparker also felt that what she said made a lot of sense, and the logic was very smooth.

But I always felt that something was pulled down, and it seemed that something very important was missing from the whole case.

There, Prosecutor Avery continued: "So this heart-digging case, the evidence is sufficient, and the basis is sufficient. ”

No, there's something wrong

"Slowly, the evidence is not sufficient." Sparky interrupted her.

"How is it not sufficient? Don't be dying, lawyer, pay attention, your job is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of suspects......"

"No, no, no, you said that the heart-digging case, so what about the most important thing in this case, the heart? I ask you, what about the heart? ”

The presiding judge, Song Jinqiao, seemed to understand something, and motioned for her to continue: "Defender, what do you want to say?" ”

"Among the prosecution's evidence, there is a set of surveillance videos, which were recorded by the taxi's on-board recorder at the time, which is clearer than the surveillance of the road. On May 3, at around 16:48 p.m., the suspect Loshi reached out and hailed a taxi. You can clearly see ......" Speaking of this, the clerk Xiao Luo skillfully stopped the surveillance video on that frame: "You can see, she didn't have anything in her hand at that time, so what about the heart that was dug out?" ”

Prosecutor "Heart......" Ailey also seems to have discovered something.

"She doesn't have a plastic bag in her hand, she doesn't have a bag. In other words, the dug heart stayed on the spot. But evidence at the scene of the crime did not find the heart. Sparky pointed this out.

Yes, yes, what about the heart.

Everyone present asked questions.

"Probably, after she dug it out, she was eaten by rats or something in the room." Prosecutor Avery found a reason to prevaricate.

"It doesn't make sense, if there are rats, why only eat the heart of the scene and not touch the corpse at all?? And the murderer so cruelly gouged out the heart, just to feed the rats? I'm afraid it doesn't make sense. ”

Although "this ......" had vaguely thought about this incident before, the concentrated forces of the investigation at that time were all staring at the murder weapon, fingerprints, and surveillance video, and no one really thought about where the missing heart went.

However, after all, Avery was Xuanyuan's elite prosecutor, and immediately thought of several reasonable possibilities: "No, she really doesn't have a bag on her, but it doesn't mean that it's not on her!" Eliminate all the impossible, and the rest of the impossible is possible. She...... Most likely ate it on the spot! ”

"Phew." Luo Xi, who was standing in the defendant's dock, couldn't help it, and spat out: "Our demon clan has not fallen to this point. ”

"I'm not a demon, how do I know how far you can fall."

"You're insulting all of us demons!" The two of them were out of control at each other.

"Defendant! Prosecution! Pay attention to court discipline. The presiding judge stopped them in time: "Defender, what do you have to say?" ”

Sparker was taking a pen and paper to calculate the time: "According to the previous calculation, the total time to commit the crime is only 15 minutes, and there are only 12 minutes left after removing the upstairs, and if the bundle tape is calculated as 3 minutes, it will take 5 minutes to dig out the heart and bleed." For the rest of the time, the suspect burned his heart before eating, obviously not even enough time to boil water. ”

"There's no time to cook it, it's swallowed raw, maybe that's what she is......" Prosecutor Avery explained.

Sparker pointed to the screen: "It's impossible, if it's swallowed raw, blood will be splattered, and we watched the surveillance video of the taxi, and there was no blood on her clothes at the time." Even if you don't swallow your heart alive, how can you kill people and bleed without splashing a drop of blood? ”

Not splashed with blood......

Not splashed with blood......

Not splashed with blood......

Protection?

"Yes, raincoat! When she committed the crime, she wore a raincoat over her so that she could explain why there was no blood on her body. ”

"So......" Sparker looked up at Alley, "Excuse me...... What about raincoats? Did she stay at the scene, or did she take it with her? ”

Loshi left the apartment building empty-handed, a hard wound for the prosecution, and Sparker wouldn't let it go: "Besides, what about the dagger used to kill people?" Where did the dagger go? Do you want to say that the suspect stuck a dagger in his body and brought him out of the scene together? ”

"No, no, no, although there is no blood in the taxi video, there is not one thing in the video, which is her back. There is also a possibility that the suspect wrapped the dagger and heart in a raincoat, and then rolled it up and wrapped it around his back, that is, the back of his waist. Because of the thin waist and buttocks, the demon has a coat on the outside, which doesn't look obvious. Prosecutor Avery spoke up another possibility.

Loshi nodded in satisfaction when she heard this, as if she was very satisfied with the other party's praise for her thin waist and buttocks.

Sparker glared at her, "Then this is too risky, what if you don't tie up your raincoat tightly and fall apart?" ”

"You don't need to tie it tightly, isn't there duct tape? Have you forgotten that there is still a roll of tape in the evidence? Prosecutor Avery smiled slightly, as if he had won the battle, and continued to elaborate: "After she fixed this thing with duct tape, she went downstairs to take a taxi, but ...... What she never expected was that in the process, blood seeped out of the cracks in her raincoat and stained the shirt behind her back. So, she ended up discarding her shirt and burying it in the mounds of the zoo. This also explains why the shirt is discarded! ”

Wow~~~

The crowd of onlookers was in an uproar, and this explanation was too reasonable. Especially in the shirt part, why should you throw away a good piece of clothing?

"This ......" Sparker was cornered, and all the loopholes were closed by the prosecutor one by one, and they matched the evidence.

The explanation is also very reasonable.

Why is there no blood, why is there no heart, why is it tied up......

"No, it's not the right number!" A voice rang out outside.
