and Xie Junjie both looked at Sima Qiqi with a puzzled expression, Sima Qiqi said slowly: "If the stocks mined by Nanhong are recommended by someone, this boss does not understand the market because he believes in this stockbroker and buys it at a large price, but because of this, his capital chain is broken, and because of this, he did not pay the security guard on time, and then the security guard did not go to work without a salary and let the thief break in, and the boss was killed by the thief, so a series of situations, assuming that the stockbroker is the defendant in this case, Then the connection between the defendant and the deceased is the murder ten years ago. ”

Hearing Sima Qiqi say this, he looked back at the information on Xie Junjie's computer, Xie Junjie lit a cigarette again and said slowly: "It seems that Lawyer Sima, you already have the appearance of a criminal in your mind!" ”

Sima Qiqi smiled slightly and said: "Can you check what other relatives the boss has, when he fell from a rich man to negative equity, this huge change coupled with the fact that the boss was killed, it is very likely that the relatives will hold a grudge against the person who caused this series of accidents." ”

Xie Junjie ignored Sima Qiqi at this time, and concentrated on operating on the computer, and soon Xie Junjie found the relevant information, pointed to the computer screen and said: "Well, that boss has a wife and son, after the accident, the wife and son left Shuzhong City, and there is no news of them later, it is possible to change the name, in order to forget his sad past." ”

Xie Junjie said with a slight question, Sima Qiqi smiled slightly and said: "This is enough, the appeal ruling in two days, I am already very sure that this case can be retried, so tired, let's go back, thank you, Xie Junjie, you can also rest well." ”

There is still a day before the trial, Sima Qiqi and Xiao Yan are sorting out the documents, although Sima Qiqi is in the chest, but this time she is also in danger, and the expression on her face is natural, but in Sima Qiqi's heart, she has already imagined the situation in court tomorrow countless times, the possibility of failure, the possibility of success.

The adjudication court heard the appeal request for a formal trial, Sima Qiqi saw that the prosecution was a prosecutor he didn't know, and the big stone in his heart finally landed, Sima Qiqi was very afraid that Fang Aoqin would come forward as the prosecution representative, because Fang Aoqin could be regarded as one of Sima Qiqi's biggest opponents, Sima Qiqi was not sure that his own point of view could completely defeat Fang Aoqin to let the magistrate agree, but as long as it was not Fang Aoqin, Sima Qiqi felt that the chances of winning were greater.

Seeing that the prosecutor was not Fang Aoqin, he was also relieved, but after thinking about it, he also thought that Fang Aoqin could not appear on such an occasion, Fang Aoqin didn't know what he had done, in short, since Sima Qiqi's father's case was resolved, Fang Aoqin has been on the rise, and now he is the chief prosecutor of Shuzhong City.

There has always been a question in my heart, that is, whether Fang Aoqin's success is related to the resolution of Sima Qiqi's father's case, after all, Fang Aoqin was rare and generous at that time to help Sima Qiqi understand his father's case, and also lent out the archives.

Just thinking about it, I looked around, and then I saw a man wearing sunglasses sitting in the auditorium, and I thought it was strange, and I was thinking that the adjudication court was open.

After the staff read out the case number and punishment, the magistrate looked at Sima Qiqi and asked, "Defense lawyer, what is the reason for this appeal?" ”

Sima Qiqi slowly stood up and said: "We applied for an appeal on the grounds that the sentence was too heavy, and asked the magistrate to rule that the sentence in this case was improper and remand for a new trial. ”

The magistrate was calm when he heard Sima Qiqi say this, after all, Sima Qiqi had submitted the relevant information to the court before, and the magistrate who adjudicated the case had already known the grounds for appeal, but it was just a process that had to be asked, but as soon as Sima Qiqi said this, everyone else in the court was not calm, especially the family members of the deceased, some cried, and some scolded.

Hearing those unbearable words, the nameless fire started, but now in the adjudication court, it is impossible to be angry casually, so he can only suppress the anger in his heart secretly, but at this time, he looks at the family of the deceased from time to time, although their feelings can be understood, but their behavior is very annoying, after all, this is their girlfriend.

I saw the man in sunglasses again, the man was sitting on the side, his face was expressionless, because he was wearing sunglasses, he didn't know where the man was looking, but now he didn't have time to care about these passers-by.

The magistrate asked the staff to maintain order in the courtroom, and when the noisy sound gradually disappeared, the magistrate looked at Sima Qiqi and asked: "The grounds of appeal put forward by the defense lawyer believe that the sentence of the first instance is too heavy, is there any evidence to prove your point of view, you must know that the defendant in this case committed a knife attack in a shopping mall, and the injured person had no signs of life when the ambulance arrived at the scene, but many people in the shopping mall witnessed the incident, and the defendant was also arrested on the spot, and the defendant did not take any remedial measures after the knife attack, After being arrested, he also refused to admit guilt, and the court of first instance convicted the defendant of intentional homicide and sentenced him to death. ”

Sima Qiqi smiled confidently and said: "It is the four words intentional homicide, according to the police investigation, my client has nothing to do with the deceased at all, so how can two ordinary people kill each other as soon as they meet, and according to the report of the forensic psychiatric department, my client is in a good mental state, there is no personality disorder and there is no suicidal thinking, so the police and the prosecution have not ascertained the motive of my client's homicide, and it is unreasonable to determine that my client's behavior is intentional homicide." ”

As soon as Sima Qiqi finished speaking and sat down, the prosecutor immediately stood up and said: "Your Excellency, the prosecution, based on the relevant evidence provided by the police, believes that the defendant killed someone in a crowded place like a shopping mall under normal mental conditions, and the circumstances are serious, and the defendant did not cooperate at all after being arrested, only saying that he was wronged, although the motive for the murder has not been ascertained, but the human and physical evidence directly pointed out that it was indeed the defendant who killed the deceased with a knife, and in this case, the motive for the murder is no longer important." ”

Sima Qiqi heard what the prosecutor said, and slowly stood up and said: "Your Excellency, there is a question, will a normal person kill a person he doesn't know at all, and the motive for killing is the best argument to explain that a murderer has murderous behavior, now only based on human and physical evidence, yes, my client did kill someone in a shopping mall, but would someone be so stupid to kill someone in a situation where there are cameras everywhere and so many witnesses?" ”

When the magistrate heard Sima Qiqi say this, he turned his head to look at the prosecutor, who didn't seem to know how to refute Sima Qiqi's statement, and his expression was embarrassed for a while.

Sima Qiqi continued: "In the first-instance documents submitted by the police to the prosecution, I found that a very important part was missing, that is, the reason that my client said that he was wronged, that is, someone instructed him to kill someone, and this reason was not mentioned in either the police information or the prosecution information. ”

The magistrate flipped through the documents in front of him, looked at the prosecutor and hoped that the prosecutor would answer the question, the prosecutor straightened his clothes and stood up and said: "Your Excellency, after the arrest, the defendant did say that he was instructed to kill people, and said that there is relevant evidence to prove it. However, the police went to his house to investigate in detail and found that none of his so-called evidence existed, and the police believed that he was just trying to disrupt the direction of the investigation and reported this matter to the prosecution. ”

When Sima Qiqi heard the prosecutor say this, he looked at the prosecutor with a surprised face and said: "Oh, since the defendant said that he was instructed by someone, then why didn't he keep the relevant documents, even if he didn't find any relevant evidence to prove it, but this is a suspicious point, I have never heard of any law that can eliminate the relevant doubts." ”

"That's just a way for the defendant to stall for time!"

The prosecutor stood up and looked at Sima Qiqi with a blue face and said, Sima Qiqi's smile on her face disappeared completely at this time, and she looked at the prosecutor with a cold face and said: "What is in front of you now is a human life, don't take things for granted, the case can be investigated slowly, but if the human life is gone, no matter how many measures you do, it is impossible for that human life to come back, understand, Mr. prosecutor." ”

The magistrate heard Sima Qiqi's tone become so serious, and said slowly: "Defense lawyer, this is the adjudication court, not a place for you to talk about big things, what I want is solid evidence, since you have appealed, then you should come up with evidence, as for what the police did with the prosecution before, if it is proved wrong in the future, there will be a special person to hold you accountable, let's talk about this case now, what evidence do you have to prove that the defendant did not intentionally commit homicide?" ”

Sima Qiqi took out a document at this time and said: "Your Excellency, we found that the deceased had a good record of behavior since he was a security guard, only once, and he was complained about ten years ago, but the security company quickly revoked his punishment. ”

The magistrate didn't seem to know the meaning of Sima Qiqi's statement, and looked at Sima Qiqi with a puzzled expression, Sima Qiqi opened the document at this time, and said slowly: "After comparison, we found that ten years ago, due to a skipping shift of the deceased, a factory owner was killed by gangsters. ”

After Sima Qiqi finished speaking, he handed the document to the staff, and the staff took the document and put it in front of the magistrate, who read it carefully, looked up at Sima Qiqi and said, "Based on this, do you think the sentence for the defendant in the first instance is too heavy?" ”
