Chapter 509: A Perfect Confession
Fang Aoqin heard that Sima Qiqi's first witness was actually Wu Tong, who was responsible for giving Xia Helu's confession, instead of summoning defense witnesses, according to the experience of fighting Sima Qiqi several times before, Fang Aoqin couldn't help but turn over Wu Tong's testimony, Fang Aoqin didn't find anything wrong from the testimony, but vaguely felt that Sima Qiqi summoned Wu Tong and secretly killed him, even if Fang Aoqin was calm, the subtle movements in his hands still told others that he was very nervous at this time.
Wu Tong came to the witness stand and sat down, Sima Qiqi stood up and looked at Wu Tong with a smile on his face and said, "Witness, please tell the judge your name and occupation." ”
Wu Tong replied calmly: "My name is Wu Tong, the captain of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Nancheng Police Department. ”
Wu Tong behaved calmly, because Fang Aoqin had reminded Wu Tong before, if Sima Qiqi wanted to defend his innocence and look for suspicions, the most likely evidence was when Xia Helu confessed, after all, in a few hours, as long as there was a slight mistake, it was possible to be keenly noticed by Sima Qiqi, so Fang Aoqin also specially confessed to Wu Tong and blocked all possibilities in advance.
Unlike Wu Tong's calmness, Fang Aoqin always felt that he had not thought it through, but at this time, he didn't realize that Fang Aoqin was holding the pen tightly in his left hand, and he didn't dare to relax for a moment, staring at Sima Qiqi and listening attentively to every word Sima Qiqi said.
Sima Qiqi nodded and said, "Officer Wu, may I ask you whether you helped my client, Ms. Xia He, the defendant in this case, to record a confession during the investigation on the night of the crime and afterward?" ”
"Yes!"
Wu Tong replied calmly.
Sima Qiqi knocked lightly on the table, looked at Wu Tong, and then asked, "During the investigation, did the defendant behave abnormally?" ”
Wu Tong heard Sima Qiqi's question, thought for a moment and said slowly: "When reporting the case, the defendant was very nervous, I saw that the defendant's face was pale, as if he was greatly stimulated, so I did not ask the defendant immediately, and I did not record a confession to the defendant until his emotions calmed down, and then the defendant needed to receive medical treatment due to physical reasons, so I suspended the confession recording work, and only after the defendant recovered, I re-recorded the confession for the defendant." This is written on the materials. ”
Sima Qiqi flipped through the information below, nodded and exclaimed: "Officer Wu works very carefully, it is true, by the way, Officer Wu, how many years have you been working?" ”
Fang Aoqin heard Sima Qiqi suddenly ask a completely insignificant question, and immediately sensed the crisis, and quickly stood up and said: "Objection, Your Excellency, the question raised by the defense lawyer has nothing to do with the trial of the case. ”
When the judge heard Fang Aoqin's objection, he looked at Sima Qiqi and asked, "What is the explanation of the defense lawyer?" ”
Sima Qiqi looked at it and smiled slightly and said: "Your Excellency, the working years of the witness can give me a more intuitive understanding of the witness's sensitivity to the case, after all, my client is likely to be considered to be justified in defense, please allow me to continue with the question just now." ”
The judge heard Sima Qiqi's explanation, this case must not have any suspicion for the following media to be caught, infinite amplification is the ability of these media, if the public is not clear about what happened and causes public opinion, this is what the government does not want to see.
The judge nodded, motioning for Wu Tong to answer Sima Qiqi's question, Fang Aoqin saw that the judge agreed to Sima Qiqi's continued questioning, knowing that the judge also had a lot of pressure on his side, it seemed that the judge would rather spend more time than let people leave a tongue, Fang Aoqin sat back in his place with a disappointed face.
Sima Qiqi looked at Wu Tong and asked the question just now with a smile, Wu Tong didn't notice any traps in this question, and replied casually: "From college graduation to now, if you round it up, it's about twenty years." ”
Sima Qiqi heard Wu Tong's answer, picked up a document and flipped it, looked at the document with a smile on his face and said slowly: "To be precise, Officer Wu, you have been on an errand for 18 years and 2 months, and you have been awarded by the Police Department many times. ”
"Objections, Your Excellency, the defense counsel deliberately misled the witnesses with suggestive words."
The judge nodded when he heard Fang Aoqin's objection, looked at Sima Qiqi and said: "The defense lawyer should pay attention to your words, don't use any suggestive or guiding words to interrogate witnesses, and don't try to cause mistakes in the witnesses' testimony." ”
Sima Qiqi heard the judge say this, nodded politely to show understanding, Sima Qiqi looked at the judge and said slowly: "Your Excellency, please allow me to change the wording of the question!" ”
The judge nodded in approval, and Sima Qiqi looked at Wu Tong and asked calmly: "I'm sorry, Officer Wu, I'll change the question I just asked, I want to ask, what techniques do you police use when recording confessions?" ”
Wu Tong heard Sima Qiqi's question, and the expression on his face became vigilant, Fang Aoqin and Wu Tong did not guess wrong, Sima Qiqi wanted Wu Tong to prove that they might use some strong means to obtain a confession, if it wasn't for Fang Aoqin's constant vigilance and giving Wu Tong time to think when he objected, Wu Tong might have answered directly, as long as Sima Qiqi grabbed the confession that Xia He might have been questioned by forceful means, then the direction of the case would be completely led by Sima Qiqi.
Wu Tong thought for a while, and said calmly: "I will ask some simple questions, such as name, age, address, etc., if the suspect is more cunning, we will combine the evidence in the hands of the police, compare it with the suspect's confession, find out the contradictions, and use the contradictions to break through the suspect's psychological defense." Let the suspect confess on his own. ”
When Sima Qiqi heard Wu Tong say this, he nodded with a satisfied smile and said, "Officer Wu said this, it seems that Officer Wu is also experienced, so is my client, Miss Xia He, considered cooperation when she recorded a confession twice?" ”
Wu Tong glanced at Xia He, who was sitting in the defendant's seat, and said slowly: "The defendant was quite cooperative when he recorded his confession twice, and he asked and answered anything. ”
"Oh, I see, can you tell me, witness, how my client answered the question of how many times she stabbed the deceased?"
Wu Tong heard Sima Qiqi's question, he only felt funny in his heart, it seems that this Sima Qiqi is not as divine as rumored, before Fang Aoqin was still like a great enemy, Wu Tong had already slightly despised Sima Qiqi at this time, and said with a smile: "Isn't there something in this information, but if you want to know, I'll tell you, the four knives that the defendant answered, both confessions are recorded, defense lawyer, do you have a problem with your eyes?" ”
Sitting in the auditorium and hearing Wu Tong actually mocking Sima Qiqi, he was angry, and the judge knocked down the gavel heavily, looked at Wu Tong with a serious face, and reprimanded: "Witnesses pay attention to your attitude, you only need to answer the questions of the prosecution and defense, and you don't need to express your own opinions." If you do this again, the Court will sue you for contempt of court. ”
Sima Qiqi nodded, and suddenly his expression became serious, and he said in a cold tone: "Yes, four knives, the two confessions are clearly written with four knives, this is the biggest problem." ”
Sima Qiqi said and slammed the document in his hand on the table, this action made Fang Aoqin feel a little frightened, Fang Aoqin hurriedly flipped through the relevant information, trying to find out what Sima Qiqi found unreasonable, Wu Tong looked at Sima Qiqi in surprise.
Sima Qiqi looked at Wu Tong with a cold expression, and said slowly: "Witness, you said that my client's face was pale when he first reported the case, as if he was frightened, this is for sure, my client can be said to have just walked away from the ghost gate, and in the case of major stimulation, it is impossible for a person to have a clear understanding of the things around him, then my client should only remember to stab the deceased with a knife, and the action will be repeated when people are in a panic, and my client should answer that she stabbed the deceased with a knife a few times, How could it be possible to accurately answer the stabbing of the deceased four times, the two confessions show that there is no modification at all, and my client can answer it so with such certainty, this perfect confession is the biggest doubt. Witness, did you use some radical methods against my client when recording a confession, or even verbally guide my client to answer that he stabbed the deceased four times, in order to prevent the defense lawyer from finding suspicious points during the trial, and being clever was mistaken by cleverness! ”
Wu Tong panicked when he heard Sima Qiqi's question, indeed as Sima Qiqi said, in order not to let Sima Qiqi find suspicions in the confession, Wu Tong and others did guide Xia He to stab the deceased four times, but he didn't expect that this confession, which was originally thought to be perfect, became a fatal breakthrough.
Fang Aoqin heard Sima Qiqi's question, only then did he realize that he had missed something, because of the different positions, Fang Aoqin and Wu and others tried to make all the evidence, including the confession, perfect for the sake of conviction, but sometimes too much pursuit of perfection became the biggest mistake.
Sima Qiqi looked at the judge and said: "Your Excellency, when a person is threatened to his life by a stranger, he stabs the deceased with a knife, because the blood of the body quickly returns to the heart, at this time the hands and feet should be cold, and the brain cannot think, the body is just instinctively to protect itself, let me ask if in this case, why did my client accurately say in two confessions that he stabbed the deceased four times, based on this, I think the police did not follow the relevant regulations when recording the confession of my client, Improper means were used to get my client to admit guilt. ”
When Fang Aoqin heard Sima Qiqi's statement, he exhaled heavily, looking at the confession in front of him with a dejected expression, and the word "four" in "four knives" was particularly dazzling.
