Chapter 442: The Dressing Room

"Yes. Your Excellency, due to the cold weather now, the forensic doctor has some errors in judging the time when the deceased was killed, this is the latest forensic autopsy report, the forensic doctor moved the time of the deceased's death forward by half an hour, and according to the police investigation, the defendant did not have time to witness at about 2:30~3:00 p.m. on the day of the crime, so the defendant had sufficient time to commit the crime. After the defendant killed someone, the defendant took the deceased's mobile phone and disguised it as a sign that the deceased was still alive during the period of 3:00~3:23. ”

The prosecutor stood up and said with a serious expression.

The judge looked at Sima Qiqi and asked slowly, "Defense lawyer, do you still have any questions here?" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency Judge, if according to what the prosecutor just said, it is my client who used the deceased's mobile phone to disguise as a sign that the deceased was still alive during the period of 3:00~3:23, then it means that when the takeaway is delivered outside the deceased's house, the deceased is already dead, which is strange, so why is there undigested food in the deceased's stomach, I think the new forensic report should not delete the food in the deceased's stomach, anyway, the one in my hand says that there is still undigested food in the stomach."

Sima Qiqi picked up the document in his hand and shook it, looking at the prosecutor, the judge heard Sima Qiqi say this, and also looked down and flipped through the new forensic autopsy report that had just been resubmitted by the prosecutor, and found that it still said that there was undigested food in the stomach, the judge looked at the report in front of him and frowned and looked up at the prosecutor, and the prosecutor didn't know how to answer for a while.

Just when the air in the courtroom froze to the freezing point, the prosecutor's assistant whispered something in the prosecutor's ear, the prosecutor's originally constricted brow slowly relaxed, and the dense gloom on the prosecutor's face seemed to gradually dissipate because of the assistant's words, and the prosecutor was as happy as seeing the sun.

The judge coughed, hoping that the prosecutor would answer Sima Qiqi's question just now, and the prosecutor quickly stood up and said: "According to the latest news report from our side, the forensic doctor also believes that there are doubts here, so he put forward a hypothesis, that is, the time when the deceased was killed remains unchanged at 2:30~3:00, and the murderer used tools to think that the food was ground and poured into the stomach of the deceased, creating the illusion that the deceased was killed not long after eating, and we request that the case be postponed for retrial, and wait for the completion of the forensic autopsy report." ”

"What, there are still imperfections in this forensic autopsy report?"

"Your Excellency, because the deceased was pierced through the chest with a sharp blade, causing the deceased to lose a lot of blood and died, and the deceased had no external injuries to the larynx, the forensic doctor did not dissect the larynx.

The judge and the prosecutor asked and answered, Sima Qiqi saw it in his eyes, and did not say anything, the judge thought for a while and turned his head to look at Sima Qiqi, Sima Qiqi immediately kept smiling and looked at the judge.

"Did the defense counsel agree with the prosecutor's request to adjourn the case? The social concern of this case is huge, and there can not be a trace of suspicion for the major media to catch the pain, you must know that the normal media is fine, and the media that are most afraid of that kind of gossip, no matter how exaggerated they are, dare to use them, and then the credibility of the criminal prosecution law will be wiped out in the words and sentences used by those media. ”

When Sima Qiqi heard the judge say this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, still looking at the judge with a smile, Sima Qiqi slowly stood up, nodded towards the judge and said: "Your Excellency, I naturally understand this truth, but I still have to consult my client's opinion on such a matter, Your Excellency the judge, please wait, okay?" ”

The judge nodded when he heard Sima Qiqi say this, Sima Qiqi came to Xu Lijia's side with the judge's consent, smiled, and whispered: "It seems that the judge in this case is determined to work hard to convict you, so even if the prosecutor has any illogical points of view, the judge still lets it go, this is all because you want to have a closed trial, and before the closed trial is approved, you actually didn't let me be your defense lawyer, such an unruly thing, I think the judge must be a little unhappy." ”

Xiao Yan was surprised when he heard that Sima Qiqi did not discuss with Xu Lijia whether he should agree to the postponement of the interrogation at all, but chatted, but what Sima Qiqi did, Xiao Yan knew that it made sense, so he didn't make a sound, but looked at Xu Lijia quietly, waiting for Xu Lijia's reaction.

Xu Lijia glanced at the judge and the prosecutor who was a little anxious, looked at Sima Qiqi and smiled slightly and said, "Oh, who made me a star, I don't want to be photographed by media friends in such a state." ”

When Xiao Yan heard Xu Lijia say this, he looked at Xu Lijia in front of him in a cheongsam with a very delicate appearance, and anyone who saw Xu Lijia like this thought that Xu Lijia had come out of home instead of staying in prison for a few months.

Sima Qiqi glanced at Xiao Yan and asked Xiao Yan to calm down, Sima Qiqi glanced at Xu Lijia with a smile, and said with a smile: "Oh, yes, I thought Miss Xu liked to appear in the spotlight very much." I see, but in order to participate in your case, I took a lot of effort to get the court to agree to a closed trial, and now I am a criminal? ”

"Thank you, Lawyer Sima, but I didn't expect that you would directly bypass the Intermediate Court to make a suggestion to the High Court, Lawyer Sima, this is your fault, how can you ask more urgently, if it affects me, what should they do if they sentence me heavily?"

"The heaviest is only the death penalty, haven't you been mentally prepared for a long time, how about it, you nod and sell a favor to young people, it just so happens that I still have some questions, take advantage of these days to sort out my thoughts."

When Xu Lijia heard Sima Qiqi say this, Yu Guang looked at the prosecutor who was already in a hurry, smiled slightly, and whispered: "But I still have a contract on me now, I've been here for so long, what should I do with my contract, I can't delay it any longer." ”

Sima Qiqi looked at the prosecutor, who was already a little unable to sit still at this time, smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Miss Xu, your case will be postponed and the trial will only start next Monday at the latest." ”

Xu Lijia glanced at Sima Qiqi suspiciously, Sima Qiqi looked at Xu Lijia with an expectant expression, smiled slightly and nodded slowly.

The judge saw Xu Lijia nodding and asked slowly, "Defense lawyer, how did you discuss with your client?" ”

Sima Qiqi heard the judge's question, slowly stood up and said with a smile: "Yes, Your Excellency, my client agrees to the prosecutor's request to postpone the trial of the case, but, Your Excellency Judge, my client has a job, and long-term detention is already unfair to my client, and my client is a social celebrity, and the speculative reports of the media will also affect my client's future life." ”

When the judge heard Sima Qiqi's reply, he turned to look at the prosecutor and asked, "Prosecutor, how long does it take for the forensic doctor to complete the autopsy of the deceased's larynx?" ”

"Well, two days, Your Excellency."

The judge heard the prosecutor's answer, looked at the calendar in front of him, and said slowly: "Today is already Wednesday, so two days later, that is, Friday, it is impossible to hold a trial on Friday, and then there will be a two-day holiday on Saturday and Sunday, so the court will be held on Monday, what do you two think?" ”

Sima Qiqi turned her head to look at Xu Lijia, Xu Lijia ignored Sima Qiqi, Xiao Yan saw Xu Lijia like this, and bumped Xu Lijia with her elbow, Xu Lijia looked at Xiao Yan with a disgusted face, Xiao Yan made a look, Xu Lijia only then noticed that everyone was looking at her, and looked at Sima Qiqi with a puzzled expression.

Sima Qiqi said with a smile: "Miss Xu, do you agree with what the judge said just now, and there will be a second trial of your case next week?" ”

Sima Qiqi blinked slyly, as if she was declaring her skills, Xu Lijia smiled when she saw Sima Qiqi's expression, and said very politely: "It's okay next week, but don't be too early, I may not be able to get up!" ”

The judge was stunned when he heard Xu Lijia say this, and the prosecutor couldn't believe the words he heard with his ears, and looked at Xu Lijia with his mouth open, Sima Qiqi and Xiao Yan were also surprised when they heard Xu Lijia's words, but soon the two came back to their senses and their expressions became natural.

Xu Lijia saw that everyone was still looking at her, smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm old, and older women have to take good care of it, otherwise they will age quickly." ”

The judge nodded and said, "Then the case will be heard at half past nine in the morning next Monday and the court will be withdrawn." ”

Sima Qiqi and Xiao Yan walked out of the courthouse, and the reporters outside saw that the two of them were like beasts seeing their prey, like a tide rushing towards the two, and they were startled when they saw this battle, pulling Sima Qiqi, Xiao Yan followed the two of them into the car and hurriedly left the court.

Asking about the situation, knowing what happened in the court, he smiled bitterly, looked at Sima Qiqi and asked: "Eh, Qiqi, then you have a good rest these days, don't you have a good idea of this case, it's okay, this Xu Lijia's case is my old man's request, even if it fails, it will not affect me, I can still sell my favor to my old man, hahaha!" It's not a loss. ”

Sima Qiqi looked at the time and said slowly: "Don't send me home, send me to the crew that Xu Lijia filmed before, I still have something to investigate." ”

Hearing Sima Qiqi say this, he adjusted the direction of the car and drove towards the crew that Xu Lijia was filming before, and when he came to Xu Lijia's filming crew, Sima Qiqi explained his intentions, and the producer hurriedly said: "Oh, when can Miss Xu be released, everyone else's scenes are almost filmed, and Miss Xu is missing." ”

The producer took Sima Qiqi and the other three to Xu Lijia's dressing room, and said as he walked: "This Miss Xu started filming at three o'clock that day, and because there was a little problem in the middle, she rested for a while, and she went back to her dressing room to film, and her dressing room was in the innermost." ”

patted Sima Qiqi on the shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Why are we coming to Xu Lijia's dressing room?" ”

"Because this is the scene of the murder."
