Sima Qiqi was also stunned when she heard Tu Minghao say this, but soon Sima Qiqi looked at the judge and said, "Your Excellency, I didn't make a closing statement just now, but just made a foreshadowing for the summoning of witnesses later."

When the judge heard Sima Qiqi say this, he thought about it and nodded slightly to express his acceptance of Sima Qiqi's statement, Tu Minghao was still smiling at this time, looked at the judge and then at Sima Qiqi, and said slowly: "Then my behavior just now is really abrupt, defense lawyer, please forgive me."

Tu Minghao said and sat down, Sima Qiqi looked at the judge at this time and said slowly: "Your Excellency, the information of the witnesses to be summoned by us has been submitted to the court for review before the trial, Your Excellency Judge, may I ask if you have any questions, if not, I want to summon witnesses to testify in court."

The judge flipped through the information, frowned slightly, looked at Sima Qiqi and asked, "Defense lawyer, you have submitted a list of 22 witnesses, do you want to summon all 22 witnesses to testify in court?"

Sima Qiqi said slowly: "Yes, Your Excellency Judge, my client's character certificate cannot be limited to her colleagues, friends and relatives, but also needs to have a stranger to make a more objective evaluation, so as to prove that what I just said is completely true to the description of my client's character, therefore, Your Excellency Judge, please listen patiently to the testimony of the 22 witnesses."

The judge sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's going to be a long trial, is there any problem with the prosecution?"

When Tu Minghao heard the judge ask, he looked down at the time on his watch, looked up at the judge and nodded politely and said, "Your Excellency, there is no problem with the prosecution, and we don't want to be infamous for bullying single mothers."

"Defense lawyer, you can get started, but please try to be as brief as possible, when questioning witnesses!"

The judge looked at Sima Qiqi and said this seriously, Sima Qiqi stood up and nodded slightly, and then Sima Qiqi asked the witnesses to speak in court in turn according to the order of the list of witnesses she provided, the witnesses Sima Qiqi invited this time were Meng Meimei's classmates, teachers who had taught Meng Meimei before, teachers in Meng Meimei's son's school, building managers, snack bar owners, and men Meng Meimei had dated and men who indulged themselves in bars, Originally, Meng Meimei strongly objected to Sima Qiqi finding the man she knew in indulgence, because Meng Meimei was worried that she would leave a bad impression on others.

In Sima Qiqi's view, this is just the opposite, a person cannot be perfect, if all the witnesses say yes, it is easy to be caught by the prosecutor to break through, Sima Qiqi found a few men who had a short relationship with Meng Meimei, the purpose is to block the breakthrough.

Sima Qiqi arranged the order of witnesses very cleverly, she put these witnesses between Meng Meimei's friends, colleagues and relatives, and sprinkled a little smudge on the near-perfect image, Tu Minghao seemed to have seen the real intention of Sima Qiqi's character witnesses, when the first man appeared to testify, Tu Minghao was also stunned for a moment, sat up straight and looked at Sima Qiqi carefully, and later, a few more Tu Minghao already knew in his heart

Sima Qiqi's tricks don't seem to be clever at all, after all, the witnesses found smeared Meng Meimei's near-perfect image, but this is a real person, she has her own work life, but she also has her own lust, not to mention that under Sima Qiqi's statement, many people in the court do not think that Meng Meimei's indulgence is a bad performance, but because of the excessive pressure of life and work, it is a helpless choice.

Tu Minghao had already noticed that the judge seemed to be more receptive to the character witnesses found by Sima Qiqi to prove that Meng Meimei was not a dereliction of duty at all, sneered, and waited for Sima Qiqi to finish questioning all the witnesses, looked at the judge and said slowly.

"Your Excellency Judge, I'm sorry for taking up so much time in the courtroom, but from the testimony of our 22 witnesses just now, it can be seen that my client is very responsible for his work life and even his feelings, but compared at multiple levels, my client is a single mother, so he puts his children first, if my client is judged to be dereliction of duty and punished for this, I have nothing to say, I can only say that the current law still needs to be improved."

After Sima Qiqi finished the last sentence, he noticed that the reporters in the auditorium were quickly writing in their notebooks, and curiously stretched his neck to sneak a glance at what the reporters sitting next to him were writing.

Seeing the reporter's actions, he was unhappy for a while, and scolded in his heart: "What's the big deal, I won't give you a look, and I won't lose a piece of meat."

Just as he was curious about what the reporter was writing, the judge looked at Tu Minghao and asked: "Prosecutor, I just listened to the testimony of 22 witnesses on the defense, and you didn't have any questions during this period, do you also agree with the defense lawyer's personality testimony to the defendant?"

Tu Minghao heard the judge's question, thought about it, slowly stood up and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, our side has no doubts about the defendant's personality, and the defense lawyer has prepared different witnesses who have a close relationship with the defendant and have a relationship with each other, and from their testimony, I feel that the defendant's personality is still very noble."

"Is the prosecution considering dropping the charges against the defendant for malfeasance?"

When Tu Minghao heard the judge ask, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and his eyes looked at Sima Qiqi and Meng Meimei coldly, Sima Qiqi felt that Tu Minghao's eyes were strange, and the originally tense nerves were tightened, Sima Qiqi did not show it on his face, but his hands were slowly holding each other at this time, if he put a walnut in his hand, it is estimated that he would have been crushed by pinching.

"Your Excellency, it is true that the numerous witnesses obtained from the defense counsel testify to the noble character of the defendant, and the defense counsel wants to use this as a defendant that has nothing to do with the disappearance of the body of the deceased in the car accident, or rather not directly, after all, the defendant did leave the forensic building during the autopsy. However, Your Excellency, we also have evidence to prove that the disappearance of the body of the deceased in the car accident was not caused by the negligence of the defendant, but was intentional. So

We will not drop the charges against the defendants. ”

As soon as Tu Minghao said this, Sima Qiqi also frowned, Sima Qiqi knew too little about the senior brother in front of him, Song Yinfeng was a criminal case in the southwest, and everyone who studied law knew it, and Tu Minghao can be said to have graduated from the same class as Song Yinfeng, but he has very little aura, but Tu Minghao was already a university teacher when Sima Qiqi was studying, and in a short period of time he became the dean of the law school from an ordinary teacher, which also means that Tu Minghao's personal ability is strong, and Sima Qiqi is more worried that Song Yinfeng's kind of person shows his talents, is obviously powerful, and Tu Minghao will just take a different path from Song Yinfeng, showing weakness.

Tu Minghao looked at everyone in the courtroom, his words just now obviously made everyone hesitate again in favor of Meng Meimei, Tu Minghao knew that under his operation, this invisible balance would never be placed in Meng Meimei's favor again, and the next thing was to see how he added weight to the scale.

The judge ordered the reporters in the gallery to be quiet, and the judge looked at Tu Minghao and asked, "Prosecutor, you said that you have evidence to prove that the defendant is directly related to the disappearance of the body of the deceased in the car accident, why didn't you bring it up early in the morning?"

Tu Minghao looked at the judge and smiled slightly and said: "Your Excellency, that cannot be regarded as direct evidence, and can only be regarded as indirect evidence, so I did not bring it up at the beginning, please forgive me, Your Excellency the judge, but we heard that the defense lawyer testified about the defendant's personality, and we think that the evidence can just refute the defense lawyer's personality certificate of the defendant, and the prosecution's evidence list has been submitted to the court, and we ask the court to present the prosecution's evidence No. 15."

The judge heard Tu Minghao say this, and the judge of this trial had a very bad impression of Tu Minghao, because this Tu Minghao didn't seem to understand the rules at all, but this Tu Minghao was like a spinning ball, even if he wanted to find Tu Minghao's shortcomings, he was always cleverly avoided by him with words.

The judge sighed, nodded and asked Tu Minghao to present evidence in court, Tu Minghao played a video again, the video showed that the time was the day when the body of the deceased in the car accident disappeared, the picture was facing the door of the autopsy room, a man came out of the autopsy room first, and after nearly 20 minutes, Meng Meimei came out of the autopsy room.

When Meng Meimei appeared in the picture, Tu Minghao paused the video, Sima Qiqi watched the video and began to communicate with Meng Meimei with a note, Tu Minghao saw that Sima Qiqi was asking Meng Meimei, and he was not in a hurry to state, but looked at Sima Qiqi quietly, and the judge was a little impatient at this time.

"Prosecutor, could you please explain the significance of this video, at this stage of the presentation?"

Tu Minghao raised his head slightly and looked at the judge, thought for a while and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, please allow me to explain, this video was captured by the camera outside the dissection room of the forensic building, during the time when the body disappeared, the autopsy room was an intern except for the defendant, and we can see from the picture that the intern left the autopsy room earlier than the defendant, and when the defendant left the autopsy room, twenty minutes had passed since the intern left, twenty minutes, this

A time is not short, just now the defense lawyer used 22 witnesses, nearly three hours to prove what kind of person the defendant is, I believe Your Excellency the judge, you also remember, the defense lawyer said that the defendant is a person who puts his child first, so in the case of knowing that his child had an accident, why didn't he leave immediately, but left alone in the autopsy room for so long, I have reason to suspect that the defendant used artificial means to make the body of the deceased in the car accident disappear during this time, the purpose is to make the suspect Hao Deyi innocent. ”
