Tang Xien pursed his lips and nodded, was silent for a few seconds, then smiled again, and asked softly: "Before Carly (the victim) went out, she mentioned that she was going to meet with Fu's boss at night, and she called the other party 'Fu's boss' to you at that time, not the defendant's name?" ”

The witness nodded: "Yes." ”

Tang Xien: "That night, several senior executives of the Fu family held a meeting in the hotel, how can you be sure that the 'boss of the Fu family' in the victim's mouth is the defendant, and not other people in the senior management of the Fu family?" ”

The witness was dumbfounded, stunned for a while, and then said: "Everyone in Los Angeles knows that he is the boss of the Fu family. As he spoke, he pointed at Fu Zhengye.

Tang Xien smiled and looked at the jury: "Do you all know that the boss of the Fu family is the defendant?" ”

Most of the jury laughed and shook their heads.

Tang Xien kept smiling and continued to question the witnesses: "You said that Carly came back after being injured and told you that she was raped and beaten, so did she say who was the person who beat and raped her?" ”

The witness nodded: "Yes." She said it was the person who met her that night. ”

Tang Xien: "She clearly told you how many people to meet at night?" ”

The witness shook his head: "No." ”

Tang Xien: "Did she explicitly tell you the name of the person who met with her at night?" ”

The witness shook his head again: "No." ”

Tang Xien put away his smile, and his voice changed from gentle to sharp: "In other words, you think that Carly was injured by the defendant, all because Carly mentioned to you before going out that she would meet with Fu's boss in a while?" So you speculate that the person who met with Carly at night is the defendant, and the person who hurt Carly is also the defendant? ”

The witness was stunned and did not say anything.

Prosecution: "Objection! ”

The judge glanced at the prosecution: "Overruled." After speaking, he looked at the witness: "Witness, please answer." ”

The witness hesitated for a moment: "...... Yes. ”

The jurors shook their heads.

Tang Xien turned his head to look at Fu Zhengye and nodded with him.

Then, Tang Xien applied to call the second witness of the defense, which was the victim Carly in the case.

Carly sat on the witness stand.

She looks young and beautiful, she is a typical American beauty, with blonde hair and blue eyes, and she is a woman that a typical man would like. But the man looked very weak, his face was bloodless, and his eyes were shrunken. She didn't dare to look at Fu Zhengye, and she didn't have the hatred and fear that ordinary victims look at the perpetrator, but felt a kind of guilt.

Tang Xien knew a little in his heart.

Routine questioning by the prosecution: "Witness, please tell us about yourself." ”

The victim lowered his eyes and whispered, "I'm an intern at XX Company." ”

Prosecution: "How did you know the defendant?" ”

Victim: "That night, my colleague and I were having dinner in the cafeteria, and when we were waiting for freshly ground coffee, we met the defendant, who seemed to be interested in me and asked me where I worked, and he said that he wanted to arrange a position for me in the Fu Group after my internship was over. ”

Prosecutor: "Please continue. ”

Victim: "Later, we left each other's phone calls. After dinner, I went back to my accommodation, and the defendant called me and said he wanted to talk about work and invited me to his room. After I went, he wanted to have sex with me, I didn't want to, he took off my clothes by force, I resisted, and then he hit my body hard......"

The victim wept as she spoke, crying very sadly. The prosecution took advantage of the situation to release photos of the victim's injuries.

Don glanced at the jury. The female jurors also red-eyed and shed tears, while the male jurors shook their heads regretfully.

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

Tang Xien secretly took a breath, stood up, and walked to the witness stand.

She comforted the victim: "I'm sorry Carly, for reminding you of something so sad. ”

The victim shook his head: "It's okay." ”

Tang Xien reassured in a gentle tone: "I sympathize with your experience, I don't want to remind you of your sad past, but this is my job, I have to ask you a few more questions, please hold on a little longer, okay?" ”

The victim wiped her tears with a tissue and nodded: "It's okay with me." ”

Tang Xien smiled: "On the night of the crime, how many floors did you live on?" ”

Victim: "I live on the 6th floor. ”

Tang Xien: "You said you went to the defendant's room, do you have the key?" ”

The victim shook his head: "No, I knocked on the door and entered." ”

Tang Sheen: "When you entered the elevator, did anyone else see it?" ”

The victim didn't even think about it: "No." ”

Tang Sheen: "Are you sure?" ”

The victim nodded: "Sure." I didn't want anyone to see it, so I waited until no one got into the elevator. ”

Tang Xien repeated: "Because you don't want to be seen, you wait until there is no one in the elevator before you go in?" ”

The victim nodded: "Yes." ”

Tang Xien: "Did anyone come in the elevator during the period?" ”

The victim was determined: "No." ”

Tang Xien: "How did you get the elevator pass card for the defendant's residential floor?" ”

The victim was stunned for a moment, obviously not knowing what she meant.

Tang Xien repeated again, this time a little louder than just now: "How did you get the elevator pass card on the floor where the defendant lives?" ”

The victim looked puzzled: "There is no access card, I directly pressed the button on the 12th floor and went up." ”

Tang Sheen: "Are you sure you just pressed the button on the 12th floor, there is no other operation, and there is no one else in the elevator?" ”

Victim: "I'm sure. His eyes were still frozen.

At this time, Fu Zhengye, who was sitting next to Tang Xien, suddenly laughed.

Tang Xien picked up the remote control on the table, and a video of the hotel's promotional video appeared on the electronic screen. The video clearly shows that the hotel puts the privacy of high-end business residents first, and all business suites on the 10th floor and above require a special pass to go upstairs, and there is only one pass card for each room, and there is no supplementary card.

Tang Xien explained to the judge and the jury: "In other words, on the night of the crime, if the victim wants to go from the 6th floor to the defendant's room on the 12th floor, she must have this access card, otherwise, she will not be able to reach the floor where the defendant is, let alone the room." Since each room is equipped with only one access card, and the defendant himself is already in the room, it is impossible for his access card to be given to the victim. And the victim's testimony just now also confirmed that she didn't do anything, just pressed the button on the 12th floor! ”

Sitting on the witness stand, the victim was shocked: "Maybe...... Maybe I was on the 12th floor with someone else! ”

Tang Xien smiled: "Really? But I just confirmed with you twice whether there were other people and other operations when you entered the elevator. You said no, because you didn't want anyone else to see it, so you waited until no one went up. After entering the elevator, I only pressed the case on the 12th floor, and there was no other operation. So, you're trying to change your testimony now, right? ”

The judge frowned and looked at the witness: "Witness, please answer." ”

The victim was at a loss, and then covered her face and cried.

There was an uproar at the scene, discussions and confusion, and the judge rang the gavel and announced a temporary adjournment.
