Chapter Forty-Eight: The Truth About the Female Case

"Sanshui Sports Illustrated": Recently, the much-watched "first case of sexual assault of Chinese athletes in the United States" was held in the New Orleans court in the United States, Chinese basketball player Zhao Qiang and the heroine of the incident, Winslow Melo were both represented by lawyers, the two parties had a heated debate on the cause, purpose and impact of the case, Justice Mayo Mamanche announced that the trial would be held on a later date, in addition, the United States Police Department was established on the indictment of Zhaoqiang for beating four suspects in the police room, This is undoubtedly a worse punishment for Zhaoqiang's case, and this newspaper will continue to pay attention to this incident, and Shen Yan, a sports NBA columnist of this newspaper, will report for you......

"First of all, I have a problem here, that is, the problem of jet lag," Zhaoqiang's lawyer Jamison, wearing a solemn and professional suit, gray hair, and reading glasses, stood on the debate platform, looked at the manuscript in his hand, and unconsciously supported his reading glasses with his right hand, and said, "Here I need to explain that during the time period when someone used Zhaoqiang's ID card to open a room, the surveillance video of the hotel bar happened to be broken, so we are skeptical about whether the person who opened the room is Zhaoqiang......

"Lawyer Jamison, please make it clear that Zhaoqiang's ID card is used to open the room, if it is not Zhaoqiang himself, who will use his ID card to open the room!"

Janvey, the victim girl's lawyer Winslow Merlo, a young man with wax in his hair, interrupted Jamison urgently before he could finish his sentence, and he continued, "And the waiter at the bar has already said that the person who came to open the room is tall and strong, with tattoos all over his arms and a hat, which is no different from Zhaoqiang's image!" ”

"Are you so sure that person is Zhaoqiang? Do you look at the streets, there are few people with tattoos on their arms and tall figures? Based on this, you think it is Zhaoqiang? This is unfounded. Lawyer Jamison spoke quite like the old man, in a slow and low tone, he continued, "We all missed some details, that is, the surveillance video of Merlot and Zhaoqiang entering the room together, the video shows that Zhaoqiang was wearing a windbreaker and a hat at that time, but his mind was obviously not clear enough, and he needed the support of the girl to be able to walk. ”

Hearing this, Jia Wei couldn't help but smile contemptuously and said: "Lawyer Jamison, then I can quote what you just said, you said this sentence is also unfounded, the surveillance only photographed the backs of two people, indeed we can see Zhaoqiang's staggering steps and unsteady walking, but we can't be sure whether he is in poor spirits, Lawyer Jamison's statement is quite conjectural!" If you have evidence, speak with evidence! ”

"Well, I admit that I can't prove Zhaoqiang's mental state at that time, we'll put the discussion of this matter aside for now, and now I want Lawyer Jia Wei to explain the problem of time difference." Attorney Jamison said slowly in a deep voice.

"Time difference? What is the time difference? Javi asked, puzzled.

"Everyone only paid attention to the two people on the surveillance, but did not notice some details, please see, this paper is the attached page of the hotel login book at that time, which clearly states that the time when Zhaoqiang and the girl went to the bar to open the room was 1:43 in the morning, but everyone looked at the time when the two people appeared at the door of the room," Jamison expanded the time display in the video, he continued, "Everyone see clearly, the time is 2:03 in the morning, and it needs to be noted here that the monitoring of the hotel only the bar counter was broken at that time, The surveillance in any other place is able to operate normally, I checked all the eighty-six cameras in the hotel that can be used, between 1:43 and 2:03 in the morning, Zhaoqiang and the girl did not appear in any of the 86 cameras, in fact, the time from the bar to the door of the room is only five minutes, so the question is, where did Zhaoqiang and Mellot go during the fifteen minutes that they disappeared in the middle? ”

Javi was speechless.

"And it can be seen from the video of the two people entering the room that Zhaoqiang was hobbling at that time, and it is very likely that he was unconscious, and Zhaoqiang also stated in the interrogation room the next day that he had no clear memory of the situation that day, so we can assume that Merlot arrived at the hotel before 1:43 a.m. with Zhaoqiang, who had lost consciousness, and they hid in a place that could not be photographed by surveillance, and then they found a person with a similar figure to Zhaoqiang and painted a tattoo, Take off Zhaoqiang's trench coat and hat, and of course, his ID card, and go to the bar with Merlot to open the room, please note that the girl at the bar only said that the person who went to open the room at that time was only wearing a trench coat, a hat, and a tattoo on his arm, and never said that this person was Zhaoqiang, so, if this hypothesis can be established, it can also explain where the fifteen minutes of disappearance went! ”

Jamison said such a long sentence in one breath, a little gasp, he took a deep breath, then turned the page of the manuscript, and continued, "After Melo finished the room with Fake Zhaoqiang, he went to the place where Zhaoqiang was hidden and put on a trench coat, a hat, and of course, an ID card, and they manipulated all this and then reappeared in the video, creating the illusion that Zhaoqiang and Merlot were in a room......"

"Nonsense!" Jarvey said angrily, "It's all your conjecture, what proof do you have!" ”

"Evidence? Everyone, please see what this is," Jamison took out a test sheet, he said, "This is the urine test report of the day after the Zhaoqiang case, which clearly states that sildenafil citrate was detected, this substance is one of the main ingredients of aphrodisiacs, which can make people have high libido and cannot control themselves, in addition, we have also investigated Ms. Merlot's background, unfortunately, Ms. Merlot used to work in a dusty place, and found a lot of aphrodisiacs and similar things in her home, I also have recordings of statements from Ms. Melo's former colleagues at her employer, which prove that Ms. Melo is familiar with the use of these drugs. Let's continue to make the assumption that Zhaoqiang was given sleeping pills and aphrodisiacs by Merlot, and then she and another man pretended to be Zhaoqiang in the hotel, and used Zhaoqiang's ID card to open the room, after entering the room, Zhaoqiang may have had a relationship with Merlot under the effect of aphrodisiacs, please note that the words I used are possible, and the evidence provided by Merlot's side is Merlot's underwear, that is to say, Jingyu Ye exists outside Merlot's body, not in the body, here, I'm skeptical about whether the two actually had sex, and we'll continue to investigate, okay, let's continue our hypothesis, and afterwards, Melo went to the police station with false evidence, and it was clear that it was a shocking and planned extortion case......"

Jarvey's face has turned the color of pork liver! In the face of Jamison's slow, low and aggressive words, Jarvey was powerless to argue, and the judge dropped the hammer and announced that the trial would be held at a later date......

……

At lunchtime in the security room, Zhao Qiang took the meal and slowly walked to the table in the corner, this is his fourth day here, in the fight with Hood and the four the day before yesterday, Zhao Qiang was also beaten, the blood marks and scars on Zhao Qiang's face make people look shocking, Hu De was beaten to a moderate concussion, and now he is still lying in the hospital, the huge security room is silent, everyone is silent, only the sound of Zhao Qiang's shoes stepping on the floor!

If you want to get the respect of some people, sometimes it doesn't make sense just by reasoning, rushing up and beating him flattened will make you get the respect of others, and sometimes, force, the simplest and most brutal means, is also the most effective way to conquer a person!

Zhao Qiang sat on a chair, lowered his head, and ate by himself, suddenly, the big iron door of the restaurant opened with a "bang", and a heavily armed policeman walked in from behind the door, he walked straight to Zhao Qiang, and said to him in English,

"Are you a Chinese Zhaoqiang?"

β€œYES。” Zhao Qiang ate by himself, without raising his head, and replied simply.

The policeman took out a piece of paper from his back, handed it to Zhao Qiang, and continued: "Your case has progressed, you have been granted parole, sign it, and immediately go to Captain Johnson of the police station after eating, he will tell you some specific things!" ”

"Parole!"

Zhao Qiang was shocked, and then he looked up at the policeman standing opposite.

"Your parole comes from two aspects, one is that your defense of innocence prevailed in court, the court has basically determined that this incident is a man-made extortion, and is currently collecting evidence, and second, you have to thank Tang Long, he was able to release you on parole, not only paid you $50,000 for parole, but also did not hesitate to use his network ......"

The police continued: "Another thing, although you are granted parole, but you are required to do 300 hours of impermanent community service, we will conduct a random inspection of the residents of the community you serve, if the spot check is not qualified, it will shorten the time of your parole, during the parole period, your phone must be on 24 hours a day, and if we need to, you must be at the police station within two hours to assist in the investigation, and you are not allowed to leave Louisiana during the parole ......period."

"So," Zhaoqiang said as he looked up at the policeman who was reading the script, "can I play basketball, can I play professional games with the team?" ”

"Yes, but if you're leaving Louisiana, you have to report to the local police station within two hours of your destination, and if you agree to that, you sign it, pack your things, and you can get out of here in the afternoon."
