Before Fu Zhengye was taken away by the court police, he glanced at Tang Xien deeply.

Tang Xien chased after him and asked, "What do you want to say to me?" ”

Fu Zhengye glanced at Fu Shiyu, who was sitting behind him and watched coldly, sighed, and said, "En, there are some things that you can't let Yu'er and his mother know, I hope you can understand Dad, I'll work hard for you this time." ”

Tang Xien nodded: "Don't worry, I will try my best to help you get rid of your guilt." ”

Fu Zhengye closed his eyes and followed the court police.

Tang Xien went back to the lawyer's bench to pack his things, and discussed with the chief lawyer in a low voice: "You are responsible for the first witness in the afternoon, and I will take care of the rest." ”

The chief lawyer nodded and said with a smile: "I'm looking forward to it, I wish you all the best!" ”

The two shook hands, briefly and forcefully.

At this time, Fu Shiyu, who had been staring at the back, got up and walked over, with a bad face: "Do you want to go back to the law firm or to the hotel?" ”

Tang Xien glanced at his watch and invited the chief lawyer: "Why don't you have dinner together at noon?" ”

The lead counsel readily agreed.

.

Since there was a trial at half past one in the afternoon, lunch was served at a restaurant near the courthouse.

The lead lawyer is the title partner of the law firm, about 40 years old, tall, handsome and humorous, and is one of the top ten golden bachelors in Los Angeles.

He has always admired Tang Xien, obviously the strategy discussed by the lawyer team before this is not like this, but before the trial, he still chose to use Tang Xien's defense strategy, not only because she is Fu Zhengye's family, but also because he feels that her thinking is very special and may be able to turn the situation around.

Judging by the morning hearing, her strategy seemed to have worked.

During the whole lunch time, in addition to eating, they were studying Fu Zhengye's case, Fu Shiyu couldn't interject, and his eyes were all used to supervise whether the chief lawyer was honest.

After lunch, they returned to the courthouse and began to prepare for the afternoon trial.

At half past one, after the judge and jurors took their seats, Fu Zhengye was also brought over by the court police and sat next to Tang Xien.

Married to Fu Shiyu for more than a year, and has known the Fu family for three or four years, Tang Xien has never been on an equal footing with Fu Zhengye, but he didn't expect to be so close to him once, it was in the court of country M, she is the defense lawyer, and Fu Zhengye is the suspect.

It's embarrassing.

The trial begins.

The prosecution called a third witness in the case, who was also an expert forensic expert, who proved in court that the human dander in the defendant's fingernails came from the victim.

The lead counsel dropped the question, but another defence witness, the hotel staff, was called.

After the witness was seated, the lawyer said, "Witness, please tell us about your work." ”

Witness: "I work in the business restaurant of the XX Hotel and am in charge of customer service. ”

Lawyer: "Please tell the judge and jury about what you saw on the night of the crime." ”

The witness looked at Fu Zhengye, who was sitting in front of him and facing him, and said embarrassedly: "That night, I happened to be on duty in the men's bathroom, and I saw ...... The defendant was seen ...... in the cubicle of the men's bathroom with a blonde girl."

The witness couldn't go any further, blushed, and looked at the judge.

The judge's body leaned towards the witness room, and he said kindly, "It's okay, tell me what you see." ”

The witness blushed and continued: "They ......"

Lawyer: "What are they doing?" ”

Witness: "They hugged each other ......"

Lawyer: "Do you remember the blonde's hairstyle and outfit that night?" ”

Witness: "Yes. The blonde girl has long hair, she has a lot of hair, long curls, she wears a black bandeau skirt with an empty back. ”

At this time, the lawyer put out a photo on the electronic screen and asked the witness: "Please look at the screen, is this the girl you saw that night?" ”

The witness turned his head and said, "Yes." ”

The lawyer asked, "Do you remember when and when all this happened?" ”

The witness nodded: "January 17 at about half past eight in the evening. ”

The lawyer faced the jury: "That is, that night, before the crime, the defendant and the victim had already had intimate acts in the men's bathroom of the restaurant. So, in this case, is it possible that the defendant's suit and fingernails left substances related to the victim as a result? ”

Prosecution: "Objection! ”

Before the judge could speak, the lawyer bowed and said, "Your Excellency, I have no other questions. ”

The jurors bowed their heads and took notes.

The prosecution got up, ready to question the witnesses, and looked bad.

Prosecutor: "May I ask the witness, more than a month has passed since the incident, how can you remember what you saw that night so clearly, even the clothes and hairstyles worn by the defendant and the victim?" ”

Witness: "Because I sent messages to my friends afterwards to share this gossip, and they asked me what kind of men and women I was, and I described it in detail to them. As he spoke, he flipped out his mobile phone chat history.

One by one, the court police showed them to the judge, the prosecution and the jurors.

The witness did gossip with his friends about the fragrant scene he encountered that night in the social media software before 9 o'clock that night. He used words to depict in detail Fu Zhengye wearing a seasonal suit of a certain brand; The victim wore a sexy bandeau black dress and long curly blond hair that all American men yearn for......

This would explain why it happened for more than a month, and the witnesses still remember the details and time of that night so clearly.

The jury all bowed their heads to record the case, and the prosecution was defeated.

The trial continued, and the prosecution summoned the victim's roommate.

The witness gave a detailed account of the night: "Carly went back to her room at half past nine, took a shower, answered a phone call before ten o'clock, and then changed her clothes to go out, and I asked her where she was going so late, and she said that Fu's boss lived upstairs tonight and promised to give her a job, so she was going up to talk to him. ”

Prosecution: "And then?" ”

Witness: "Then Carly went out and I fell asleep. At about two o'clock in the morning, I was suddenly woken up by a noise, after turning on the light, I saw Carly undressed and collapsed in front of the closet, I rushed to help her up, she said that she was beaten and raped, I saw that she was all injured, and then I called the police. ”

Prosecution: "Did she say who hurt her?" ”

Witness: "She said it was the person who met her at night." ”

Prosecutor: "Your Excellency, I don't have any other questions. ”

The judge nodded and looked at the defense bench.

Tang stood up, smiled with the judge and the jury, and then walked up to the witness, who also smiled softly.

The witnesses smiled at her.

Tang Xien: "How do you call you?" ”

Witness: "My name is Bailey. ”

Tang Xien smiled: "Hi, Bailey Hello. ”

The witness's nervousness eased a little: "Hello. ”
