C.K heard Sima Qiqi say this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "You are really, how can you talk nonsense about this kind of thing, others say that lawyers are all masters of lying, I thought you were an exception, I didn't expect you to tell lies so eloquently, do you know, I thought it was true, I thought your usual perseverance was faked, I almost cried, fortunately I couldn't help it, otherwise I would have been seen by you, what's the matter with you woman, in order to convince Tian Si, do you want to say yourself so badly." ”

After speaking, he looked at Sima Qiqi, who was expressionless, and C.K stopped talking, Sima Qiqi leaned her head against the window glass, although she looked at the scene that flashed quickly outside with a smile, but a tear slowly slipped out of the corner of her eye.

Sima Qiqi made the appeal application documents as quickly as possible, let Tian Si sign them and submit them to the court for review, and a week later, the court issued a notice of the court opening time of the law firm. On the day of the trial, C.K came to the adjudication court early and found a good seat in the auditorium, this is not the first time C.K has come to the adjudication court, so C.K is not as curious as last time, but he is curious about what Sima Qiqi's opponent has after being defeated by Sima Qiqi this time.

C.K thought of Fang Aoqin and Ding Shan, who had been defeated by Sima Qiqi before, and couldn't help laughing out loud when they fell from full of confidence to the bottom, and at this time, the judge and others happened to walk into the courtroom, and when they heard the laughter, they all looked at C.K's side. At this time, C.K felt someone poking him, looked back, a stranger pointed in the direction of the judge, C.K then found that everyone was staring at him, C.K and Sima Qiqi glanced at each other, felt the blame in Sima Qiqi's eyes, C.K realized his gaffe, and immediately lowered his head.

C.K glanced at Sima Qiqi with his spare eyes, and saw Sima Qiqi talking to Xiao Yan with his head down. Seeing this, C.K raised his head and tidied up his clothes, ready to enjoy Sima Qiqi's performance.

When the adjudication court opened, Sima Qiqi stood up and said, "Your Excellency, my client appealed in prison, claiming that she was guilty of taking the blame for others. Therefore, we re-investigated the file, and we found that there was a suspicion of collusion in the confession information recorded by the police before, and the confessions of my client and the three children of the deceased, so we believe that the unreliability of the confessions of the four cannot be used as the basis for the judgment. ”

The judge flipped through the documents placed in front of him, raised his head and looked at Sima Qiqi and said slowly: "Defense lawyer, then please make a statement on this." ”

Sima Qiqi stood up and nodded to the judge, and said politely: "Your Excellency, I have re-examined the confessions made by my client and the three children of the deceased at the police station, and I have found that there is a similarity in the confessions of the four people. This is a photocopy of the confession of the four people, please see the place marked with a red pen. ”

As he spoke, Sima Qiqi held up a document. The prosecutor and the judge both looked at these documents, C.K looked at the prosecutor this time, and thought about the prosecutor in Xue Moxuan's case before, it seems that none of the prosecutors who came to the court know him, and he is still very young.

I thought to myself, "It seems that this is the prosecutor's training ground!" ”

Just thinking about it, I heard Sima Qiqi say slowly: "Please look at the first page, this is the confession of the deceased's eldest daughter Yan Jialing." In the confession, it is recorded as follows: 'When I returned home, I heard my second sister Yan Jiayao tell me that my sister-in-law Tian Si strangled her mother with her mother's favorite jujube shawl'. Then please look at the eighth page, which is the confession of Yan Jiayao, the second daughter of the deceased, which is described as follows: 'I heard a noise, went upstairs, came to my mother's room, and saw my brother-in-law Tian Si holding my mother's jujube shawl and strangling my mother's neck', and then on page 13, it was the confession of Yan Zhuangwei, the husband of my client, the youngest son of the deceased, which read: 'I heard someone screaming, I quickly ran upstairs, and saw the second sister and my wife standing aside, At this time, my mother had the jujube shawl wrapped around her neck', and finally turned to page 17, which was my client's confession at the police station, and it was written, 'I didn't expect her to pick up the knife and throw it at me, I couldn't get angry for a while, so I picked up her favorite jujube shawl next to me and strangled her'. ”

Sima Qiqi paused after reading and looked at the prosecutor and judge, and then said: "Your Excellency, from here, we have found a problem, that is, the four confessions of my client and the three witnesses and the four of them describe the murder weapon as 'jujube red shawl'. The description of the shawls by the four people is exactly like the four of them repeating it, and it is word-for-word, so we suspect that there are doubts in their confessions and cannot be used as the basis for adjudicating the case. ”

At this time, the prosecutor stood up and retorted: "Your Excellency, we know that the deceased Yan Su was a very decent person and a maverick, which has been shown in the police investigation materials, therefore, the jujube shawl may have been mentioned by the deceased and asked her family to say so to reflect her uniqueness, so we believe that this cannot be used as a basis for the suspicion of collusion between the four people, and the defendant and the three witnesses lived with the deceased for many years." Therefore, in some words and phrases may affect each other, therefore, Your Excellency Judge, I do not consider this to be sufficient grounds for appeal, and I ask Your Excellency Judge to reject the request for appeal from counsel for the defence. ”

The judge nodded and said to Sima Qiqi: "Defense lawyer, the prosecution is reasonable, according to the information, they are family members, and they do live together, so they have the same words and words, which is not enough to prove that they are suspected of collusion, do you have any other evidence to prove your statement?" ”

Sima Qiqi nodded and said, "Of course there is, Your Excellency Judge." As soon as Sima Qiqi said this, C.K clearly saw that the expressions of the prosecutor and the judge had changed.

Sima Qiqi also saw the change in the expressions on the faces of these people, and Sima Qiqi said confidently: "We asked professionals to investigate all the interviews and articles of the deceased Yan Su before his death, and found that the deceased did not say the five words of jujube red shawl at all, and the reporters of newspapers and magazines did not say jujube red when describing Yan Su's shawl. ”

After speaking, Sima Qiqi raised the thick stack of documents in his hand and said slowly: "Your Excellency Judge, what I have in my hand is the investigation report and the source of information for all the interviews and articles with Yan Su this time. This clearly shows that the deceased Yan Su never mentioned the jujube red shawl before his death, only the words red shawl, victory red and so on, so the prosecutor's previous statement that the 'jujube red shawl' was a unique way for the deceased to express himself and affected my client and three children is not valid. ”

At this time, the prosecutor couldn't sit still and stood up and retorted: "Your Excellency, the deceased was a rich woman before her death, and there must have been many shawls, and the shawl entrusted by the defense to the expert investigation may not be the shawl of the murder weapon." ”

Sima Qiqi immediately retorted: "Your Excellency, since that shawl was the deceased's favorite during his lifetime, after our investigation, the deceased did have multiple shawls, but there was only one red shawl, so there was no investigation error. ”

When the prosecutor heard Sima Qiqi say this, he was speechless for a while.

Just as he was about to sit down, he suddenly said: "Your Excellency, I ask to verify the evidence provided by the defense in order to ensure the reliability of the data. ”

It seemed that Sima Qiqi had expected this request, and said with a smile: "Yes, Your Excellency, in addition to the above reasons, our side also found that there is a major doubt in my client's confession, and this doubt can also prove that my client is not a murderer. ”

When the judge heard Sima Qiqi say this, he said in a cold tone: "Defense lawyer, you have also found suspicious points, so please explain." ”

Sima Qiqi nodded and said slowly: "Your Excellency, please look at the seventeenth page of the photocopy of the confession, that is, the confession made by my client at the police station, in which my client recounts the murder of her, that is, the content marked with a yellow marker: 'I prepared dinner and served it to my mother-in-law, and stood next to me and waited for my mother-in-law to eat. My mother-in-law thought the steak was getting old, so she lost her temper and threw all the steak and red wine at me. ”

Sima Qiqi raised his head and looked at the judge and prosecutor, and C.K found that the expressions of the judge and prosecutor had become complicated, especially the prosecutor, who seemed a little flustered.

The corners of Sima Qiqi's mouth rose slightly and continued: "My client made it very clear in her confession that she was thrown by her mother-in-law with steak and red wine at the time of the crime. However, Your Excellency, please look at the photographs taken by the police at that time of the evidence of my client's clothing. ”

The judge slowly flipped through the file, picked up the photo in the file and observed it, and the prosecutor at this time heard Sima Qiqi say this, so he hurriedly rummaged through the file, found the photo in the file and looked at it in a panic.

At this time, Sima Qiqi said slowly: "Your Excellency, as can be seen from the photos, there are only traces of steak juice on my client's clothes, and there is no trace of red wine, which is different from what my client said in his confession, that is, the suspicions I mentioned before. ”

At this time, the prosecutor hurriedly stood up and almost fell, and after standing firmly, he said in a panic: "Your Excellency, this is just a means for the defendant to exonerate himself, and he deliberately gave a confession with wrong information before, and then the defense lawyer found the suspicious points to overturn the case, and intended to exonerate himself in the way that the interests of the doubts were attributed to the defendant. Therefore, I believe that the appeal of this case should not be agreed. ”

Sima Qiqi's expression changed solemnly when he heard this, but he still said in an orderly manner: "Your Excellency, Judge, object, the prosecution suspects my client without any evidence and even suspects me, and I ask the prosecution to apologize." ”

The judge nodded and said, "Prosecutor, do you have any evidence to prove what you just said?" ”
