Late at night, Tang and several lawyers were still in the conference room to discuss the case.

Fu Shiyu had been out of his seat for a long time, and since he saw the report of the forensic department, he stood alone by the floor-to-ceiling window of the conference room, crossed his arms, and looked motionlessly at the night view of Los Angeles outside the window.

Tang Xien was a little worried about him, and after the work was over, he stood up and moved his limbs, and walked towards him.

She stood with him in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, following his gaze to see the scenery he saw.

There are not many high-rise buildings in Los Angeles, only a dozen or so high-rise buildings have risen in the city center. The bright city lights and blazing traffic make the city like a galaxy hanging upside down on the earth.

"What are you thinking?" She turned her face to look at him and asked softly, "Tell me about it?" ”

He came back to his senses and smiled at her, "I was wondering if there was anything I could do to help." ”

"Tomorrow you will go to the company to have a look, right? You are needed over there. Just have me here. ”

It was rare that he did not object, and replied "yes".

Later, when they returned to the hotel, Fu Shiyu did not mention Fu Zhengye's case during the whole process, and when the case was still unclear, Tang Xien did not choose to take the initiative to mention it, no matter what he said at this time, he seemed pale and powerless.

.

The next day, Fu sent Tang Xien to the law firm, leaving someone she trusted there to assist her, and she returned to Fu's overseas headquarters in Los Angeles.

As soon as the people left, Tang Xien and the lawyers immediately engaged in the discussion of the case.

The original evidence is unfavorable to Fu Zhengye, it is really unfavorable!

After his arrest, the police searched the hotel room where he was staying on the night of the crime, found his own body fluids, the victim's hair extracted from the sofa, and the human cortex in his fingernails also confirmed that it contained the victim's DNA.

The second witness in this case also confirmed that the victim received a phone call from Fu Zhengye at around 10 p.m. that night, immediately went to Fu Zhengye's room, and returned to his room at 3 a.m.

The prosecution believes that Fu Zhengye used violent means to coerce the victim to have a relationship with him, so he extracted the DNA from the victim's fingernails and the hair belonging to the victim on the sofa in the room, and the TT with his bodily fluids was presumed to be used when he had sex with the victim.

Now because the victim is still in a coma, once the victim wakes up and testifies against Fu Zhengye in front of the jury and the judge, then the case will be inseparable.

Tang Xien stood in front of the soft board, crossed his arms, and frowned at the photo nailed to his head.

The victim's chest and abdomen were bruised and swollen, and the forensic doctor believed that he had been violently hammered, resulting in broken ribs and bleeding from internal organs. All the scars were in places that could be covered by clothing, so when the victim returned to the room, no one noticed her abnormality.

Tang Xien turned around and sat down, and continued to look through the case file over and over again.

After exchanging information, in the face of ironclad evidence, the partners of the law firm probably felt that the case was very suspenseful and the odds of victory were not high, so they sent two lawyers who are good at criminal cases to participate in it.

"This hotel is really strange, but there is no monitoring of the elevator and the floor where Mr. Fu lives."

"What about surveillance? Should the prosecution show the jury and the judge the video of the victim entering and exiting Mr. Fu's room? ”

These words fell into Tang Xien's ears, her hand that was originally writing and drawing on the paper stopped, the pen in her hand was closed, the swivel chair under her turned around for half a circle, her eyes stared at the photos on the soft board, and she fell into thought again.

"No monitoring isn't necessarily a bad thing...... she muttered to herself.

The other lawyers listened and asked, "Teng, what do you think?" ”

Tang Xien turned around and picked out the ones that were most unfavorable to Fu Zhengye among the pile of evidence and put them on the table one by one.

The other lawyers gathered around.

She looked at the evidence, groaned, and pointed to the identification report on the far left, with Fu Zhengye's body fluids: "The substance in the TT confirms that it is the defendant's, but is there such a possibility, that it was actually used by the defendant and others, not the victim?" ”

She didn't speak loudly, firstly because she was physically tired, and secondly, because she was unsure, so it was a bit like talking to herself.

The other lawyers laughed, in front of so much evidence, everyone actually suspected that Fu Zhengye had indeed committed a crime, and now when they heard Tang Xien say this, they all felt that she was a little unrealistic because she wanted to exonerate her father-in-law too much.

The lead lawyer pointed to the second report and asked, "How do you explain the dander from the victim in Mr. Fu's fingernails?" ”

Tang Xien didn't answer for a while, thinking. She then went to look at another report and pulled out the photographs inside. The woman's long blonde hair was unusually dazzling on the back of the black sofa chair.

She remembered Fu Zhengye's appearance of sitting on the sofa generously, and boldly speculated: "Is it possible that the victim's hair was first glued to the defendant's coat, and then the defendant sat on the sofa after returning to the room, because of the static electricity reaction in winter, causing the victim's hair to stick to the sofa?" ”

Everyone thought her idea was crazy, but they weren't too embarrassed to say it.

Only the chief lawyer here dares to directly question Tang Xien because of his authoritative identity. He smiled politely and asked, "Teng, you haven't answered my last question yet." ”

"The victim's dander?" Tang Xien said, "Like hair, is it possible that the two of them had contact before, so they were left in Mr. Fu's nails in advance?" ”

The chief lawyer was a little helpless and persuaded: "Teng, I understand your desire to save your family, but your far-fetched speculation will disgust the jury and the judge at that time." ”

Tang Xien smiled: "No matter what the possibility is, we can't let it go, right?" If even we give up, what about the innocent defendants? ”

She went to get a trench coat and put it on, and cleaned up her personal belongings on the table: "I want to go to the hotel where the crime occurred and come back later." ”

Xu is Fu Shiyu had explained before, and a younger male lawyer also followed to pack his things: "Teng, I'll go with you." ”

The two took the people arranged by Fu Shiyu and went to the hotel where the crime occurred together. Tang Xien wanted to go to the scene of the crime again to see if there were any suspicions.

The car was blocked on the streets of Los Angeles, Fu Shiyu's people were driving, another lawyer was sitting in the passenger seat, and Tang Xien was sitting in the back seat, looking at the street scene in a daze.

Everyone thinks that Fu Zhengye committed the crime, and even Fu Shiyu, who is his own son, silently accepts this "fact", but Tang Xien, who has seen the evidence, vaguely feels that this case seems to have sufficient evidence, but in fact, after thinking deeply, there are many doubts.

Whether it is as the second lawyer in this case, as a fair and impartial lawyer, or as Fu Zhengye's family, before the trial result comes out, she will choose to believe in her client, and there is no other reason, what she has to do is to do everything possible to exonerate her client.
