Sima Qiqi and the two looked at Sha Yu in surprise, Sha Yu said very proudly: "I didn't expect it, but I don't know which room they live in, but I know the floor they live in, there are three jurors on the 4th, 5th, and 6th floors, and there are three on the 11th, 12th, and 13th floors, and then this is the 16th floor, and there is one who lives on the 17th floor above." ”

Sima Qiqi heard the information provided by Sha Yu, began to think, and said slowly: "This hotel has a strong sense of protection, from the time we first came, it was seen that the elevator needs to shoot a card to go upstairs, and the staff passage must be opened in the hall by taking a card. ”

"Do you think there's a small chance that someone is committing a crime outside?"

looked at Sima Qiqi calmly and asked.

Sima Qiqi nodded and said: "Although the questionnaire issued by the court is said to be aimed at the public, I also said before that the court will conduct a preliminary screening of the recovered investigation report, and then the judge will select it face-to-face, and then a background check will be conducted, such as whether there is any illegal behavior, or some other reputation is not very good, and the judge will delete a part, and finally the prosecutor and the defense lawyer will make the final selection. The purpose of such a selection is to ensure that the jurors represent the fairness and impartiality of the public as much as possible, and that there will be no factors affecting the jurors. ”

Sima Qiqi paused and continued: "If a juror has any fault in daily life, but no one finds out, it is easy for a lawyer with ulterior motives to seize the handle and threaten him, so the jurors selected by the court must avoid this happening." ”

"That is to say......"

Sima Qiqi looked at the middle of the sentence and stopped talking, Sha Yu preemptively said: "That is to say, these jurors are ordinary people, and there is no such factor that can be coerced and lured in daily life. ”

"Yes, you're right, these eight jurors are ordinary people, and therefore, if someone has a grudge against one of the jurors that is so big as to kill someone, it is absolutely impossible."

"Wait, insiders kill jurors, Kiki you mean ......"

looked at Sima Qiqi in surprise and said. Sima Qiqi shrugged his shoulders and replied calmly.

"It doesn't matter what I mean, I'm not an investigator, the police in this case will definitely think of the bunch of nonsense Kan Yu said in court before, but Kan Yu is in prison, I think the police should investigate Kan Yu's friends, but these people are just friends of wine and meat, and they won't have that kind of awareness, risking being arrested to help Kan Yu teach the jurors a lesson. However, this case may more or less affect the trial of Kan Yu's case, and I hope the police can investigate and find out the results as soon as possible. ”

"Lawyer Sima, now that the jurors in Kan Yu's case are dead, will the case continue to be heard?"

Sha Yu looked at Sima Qiqi with a puzzled expression and asked.

For Sha Yu, these are all strangers, and he doesn't care at all about who dies or who is unlucky, he only cares about whether there is news of the impact.

Sima Qiqi nodded slightly, and replied slowly: "If one of the jurors dies, the judge can temporarily find a new number of reserve jurors from the previously excluded jurors, but the prosecutor and the defense lawyer need to agree before the jurors selected by the judge can become official jurors." I don't know who Qi Nian will choose. ”

The next day, early in the morning, Sima Qiqi learned from Xiao Yan that Qi Nian had selected a juror, and after the government officially went to work, he would send the relevant materials over for Sima Qiqi to review.

Sima Qiqi was surprised when he heard Xiao Yan's report, and said to himself: "This Qi Nian's actions are a bit fast, he just died yesterday, and he immediately found a new juror, and he is so confident that he will directly give me and Tu Minghao the information, will I and Tu Minghao not object to the person he chooses?" ”

Sima Qiqi has a lot of problems in his heart, originally this case is very simple, the most important thing is that Lu Sixue wants to promote the jury system, so that all walks of life can see the feasibility of the jury system, and use this as a stepping stone to make steady progress, this Kan Yu is just a tool for the struggle between the new school and the traditional school of Lu Sixue, according to Sima Qiqi's previous thinking, Kan Yu has basically no direct evidence in this case, and Kan Yu is not yet 18 years old, so it is basically impossible to sentence a felony, if there is no change, Sima Qiqi expected that at most two more sessions, he would be able to close the case, and then drive the emotions of the eight jurors and make the jurors sympathize with Kan Yu, which is estimated to be a few years in prison.

But now the situation is beyond the scope of Sima Qiqi's control, Kan Yu knew from the first time Sima Qiqi saw that it was a thorn, in other words, he watched too many movies, and he couldn't tell the difference between reality and the movie stupidly, and he didn't wear formal clothes to appear in court, Sima Qiqi still had reason to explain the prevarication of the past, but he didn't expect Kan Yu to artificially increase the difficulty and threaten the jurors in contempt of court, and what he didn't expect was that one of the jurors was killed inexplicably, and the motive for the murder was not found by the police now, and there are not many clues about the relevant evidence.

If Sima Qiqi was sure that Kan Yu would be sentenced within three years before, then now Sima Qiqi can guarantee that Kan Yu's sentence will definitely increase, and as for how much it will increase, it can only depend on the mood of the jurors.

Although jurors cannot rely on subjective emotions to judge a prisoner's guilt, these jurors are ordinary people in society, and they represent ordinary people's views on a case, even the jurors selected by Sima Qiqi and Tu Minghao are all jurors who will benefit their side in the future sentencing process, and this time the jurors were killed, it is estimated that Qi Nian's side is also under great pressure, if it is confirmed that the juror was killed by Kan Yu, Kan Yu's conviction of a felony is reasonable, if it is said that in the process of sentencing, The case of the juror's murder has not yet been decided, and perhaps Qi Nian will also consider the society's questioning voice for questioning the juror's life-threatening and convicting the offender of a lesser crime.

At that time, this will not only fail to help the new faction rise to a higher level politically, but may also directly collapse the image that the new faction has built up with great difficulty.

Sima Qiqi smiled bitterly and shook his head, Xiao Yan saw Sima Qiqi suddenly laughing, and looked puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask Sima Qiqi, after all, there was a big problem that was still bothering Sima Qiqi at the moment.

Sima Qiqi soon received the information of the ninth juror sent by the court, which was the preparatory juror that Tu Minghao finally excluded, Sima Qiqi saw this person's information, and sighed in his heart that Qi Nian was also thoughtful, and this person would be excluded in the end, that is to say, Sima Qiqi and Tu Minghao both considered keeping this person as a juror, but compared with the eight people selected before, this person was still a little flawed, so it was excluded, and now Qi Nian chose this person as the ninth person to fill the vacancy, It can be said that Sima Qiqi's side will not object, but I don't know if Tu Minghao will object.

Sima Qiqi didn't think about it so much, Tu Minghao, Sima Qiqi couldn't see through Tu Minghao when he was a student, he came out to work for so many years, Sima Qiqi boasted that he was capable and watched people in detail, but when it came to Tu Minghao, it seemed that Tu Minghao was surrounded by fog, and Sima Qiqi couldn't see what kind of person Tu Minghao was. Therefore, whether Tu Minghao will oppose or agree, Sima Qiqi has no time to think, it should be said that even if he thinks about it, it is very likely that he will be wrong.

The most important thing at the moment is to find a way to make these eight jurors change their opinion of Kan Yu, otherwise even if she Sima Qiqi's professional ability is outstanding, she may also help Kan Yu win the best sentence in Sima Qiqi's mind.

Three days later, the court issued a notice to the public, "due to unexpected circumstances, the court is completely unprepared, so the trial time will be postponed for another two days."

Sima Qiqi felt strange when he saw this notice, the time written on this notice was only two days later than the original plan, that is to say, after Qi Nian learned that the juror was killed, he immediately selected the ninth person, or rather, he had been prepared before this, the ninth person was ready, as long as there was an accident, the ninth person would directly fill the vacancy, and from the perspective of time, Qi Nian was very sure that the ninth person could be accepted by Sima Qiqi and Tu Minghao at the same time, otherwise, it would be impossible to send out the notice in such a timely manner. In general, a notice should be issued to inform the public that the postponement of the case has occurred due to special circumstances, and that there will be another notice as to when the postponement will be extended. But it is clear that this notice is like being able to predict the prophet.

In the second trial, Sima Qiqi came to the courtroom and saw that seven of the eight jurors looked tired, thinking about it, a colleague next to him died suddenly, and eight of them had been threatened before this, seven people must be scared, and the police did not find the murderer, these seven people are probably about to become frightened birds.

At the beginning of the trial, Sima Qiqi and Tu Minghao argued about Tu Minghao's attachment and evidence and the video taken by the police to find a passer-by arguing with the deceased, and the two sides were deadlocked, but at this moment, a female juror suddenly stood up and said.

"No, I can't stay here any longer."

Qi Nian didn't expect such an accident to happen, so he hurriedly asked Tu Minghao to sit down with Sima Qiqi, and asked the court staff to ask the jurors about the situation, and when Qi Nian got the news from the staff, he saw Qi Nian frowning.

Qi Nian looked up at the jurors, and then at Sima Qiqi and Tu Minghao, Sima Qiqi was now very afraid of this unexpected situation, because he was completely unprepared.

Qi Nian said slowly: "In view of the unexpected situation in the court just now, this court announced an adjournment of fifteen minutes. ”

Qi Nian gave the staff a look, and looked at Sima Qiqi and Tu Minghao again, and the two immediately got up and followed Qi Nian out of the courtroom.
