Chapter 33: Key Eyewitnesses
If the plaintiff fails to present key evidence in the second public trial, it means that the lawsuit is over.
On the morning of the public trial, except for Xiao Baozi and Grandma Jiyu, who were unable to appear in court to observe, almost all of the Confucius Institutes were dispatched.
Coincidentally, the plaintiff and the defendant met outside the courtroom.
When the plaintiff's relatives saw that the old man of the Confucius Institute had also come to the courthouse, they just looked at him silently and looked elsewhere.
Kong Fanxing followed closely behind his grandfather, his eyelashes lowered slightly.
But no matter how she avoided it, she could feel Shangguan Zhan's sharp eyes, staring at her expressionlessly.
The plaintiff's family can be rude and not greet him, but he will not act like an enemy of the other party when he goes to the official store.
When approaching the old man, the gentleman bowed and greeted: "Old Kong." ”
The old man held his hands behind his back and stared at the tall man with burning eyes, and then Leng Rufeng on the side introduced, "Old man, this is Shangguan lawyer-"
The old man bowed slightly, and walked towards the courtroom without saying anything.
Kong Fanxing didn't look at the man staring at her, and was still muttering in her heart.
This cunning man......
"Lawyer Leng, please stay."
Kong Fanxing's legs stiffened, the man had not been affected in any way after kissing her, and his calm tone was as good as ever.
Leng Rufeng stopped and glanced at the people who came to the courtroom one after another to observe, "What's the matter?" ”
"Let's ...... Or an out-of-court settlement? Shangguan Zhan held one hand on his chest, leaned towards him slightly, and deliberately whispered.
"Reconciliation? Condition. ”
"It's nothing more than using money to solve it, don't pretend to be garlic for me."
"My client is not guilty - why should I give you a lot of money? Could it be that the Kong family has too much money? ”
After Lawyer Leng finished speaking, he said, "Is this your idea or the plaintiff's ......" He couldn't help but want to find out his details.
"As long as the Confucius Institute can afford to pay for it, I have a way to get the plaintiff's family to agree to a settlement." With a blank face, he said loudly.
Leng Rufeng smiled for no reason, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder: "Lawyer Shangguan, I'm sorry to disappoint you." ”
After speaking, he walked to the courtroom lightly.
"Lawyer Leng, I need to remind you of one sentence: there is a key witness ...... on our side."
"And eyewitness videos."
His feet were as cold as the wind and paused the moment he stepped into the courtroom.
He turned to look at the people coming and going around him, "The court has reviewed it?" ”
Shangguan Zhan waved his finger and walked past him confidently and elegantly: "The result of going his own way...... I hope you can still bear it. ”
The court opened on time.
Leng Rufeng was suspicious, and the plaintiff really applied for new eyewitnesses and eyewitness videos.
This surprised all the people in the Confucius Institute in the auditorium, and they thought that they would be fine after today.
All their hopes are pinned on Leng Rufeng.
And Leng Rufeng did not live up to their expectations, and strongly opposed witnesses and videos that testified in court without being reviewed by the court.
But the road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high.
Shangguan Zhan stood up from the plaintiff's side, "Your Excellency, the witnesses I have applied for are enough to vouch for his reputation-"
The presiding judge and the others deliberated, "Who is it?" ”
"Zhu Yi, a senior official in Chenzhou City."
"Wow-"
There was a sigh in the auditorium.
The old man didn't expect that the new politician who testified in court turned out to be Zhu Yi!!
In addition to being a high-ranking official, Mrs. Zhu joined a foreign five-star hotel, which frequently competes with Honor's Mingjia Prince Hotel in business.
The old man casually disdains to fight with a woman, but in business, it is inevitable that there will be moments when the contradictions intensify.
……
A righteous and awe-inspiring Zhu Yi appeared on the witness stand, and the courtroom was airtight and suffocating.
After a short period of examination of the eyewitness video of Xin's appearance, the court made public the most direct picture of the night of the incident captured by the driving instrument provided by Zhu Yi.
On the screen, it is very clear that at a certain intersection that night, two sedans were parked on the side of the road, and then the driver of the rear car got out of the car and dragged out a woman in the passenger cab of the front car.
The two tore up in the street, and the scene was quite intense.
Later, the driver of the front car also got out of the car and ran over and joined the war.
Everyone in the Confucius Institute, including the person concerned, Kong Qinsi, was wide-eyed, not expecting that the events of that night would be photographed by others.
Shangguan Zhan's smug gaze glanced at the opponent as if he was nothing, especially when he saw Kong Fanxing's grandfather's brows tightly knit and his expression solemn, he couldn't help but have a trace of affection on his lips.
Kong Fanxing's face was pale, staring at the man who was already standing in the center of the courtroom, and the corners of his mouth twitched and he was speechless.
After the broadcast, the plaintiff should question the witnesses.
The plaintiff's lawyer, Shangguanzhan, walked in front of the witness Zhu Yi.
"Mr. Zhu Yi, because of the particularity of your important position in the government and serving the people, I will try my best to express it to you clearly, do you understand?
Zhu Yi: "Understood. ”
"Please note that if I ask any question that you don't understand, you have the right to tell me, is that okay?"
Zhu Yi: "I will." ”
"So...... On the night of the incident, June 12, 2018, were you healthy and conscious? ”
Zhu Yi replied: "Yes, I am healthy. ”
"Could you please tell me that this video that was played in court just now was recorded by the driving instrument of your private car?"
Zhu Yi replied: "Yes." ”
"It's not edited or processed in any way, is it?"
Zhu Yi replied: "Yes." ”
Shangguan Zhan deliberately asked, "You are sitting in the courtroom now, Mr. Zhu Yi, there is no problem with your mental condition, right?" ”
"I'm fine."
"So...... You know the characters in the fights documented in the video, right? ”
"Yes, the man who got out of the back car is clearly the deputy manager of the Glory Consortium - Kong Qinsi."
Leng Rufeng immediately shouted: "Oppose! The plaintiff's lawyer is inducing witnesses! ”
The judge frowned and thought for a moment, "The objection is invalid. ”
Shangguan Zhan continued to ask, "Mr. Zhu Yi, you clearly saw the man who got out of the back car that night, that is, Mr. Kong Qinsi hit the woman who was pulled out of the car in front of you, right?" ”
"Against!"
The judge replied: "The objection is invalid." ”
Shangguan Zhan's cold gaze swept over the cold wind on the other side, and his tone strengthened: "The woman who was beaten is Kong Qinsi's wife...... Shen Jing, right? ”
Zhu Yi nodded: "Exactly." ”
Leng Rufeng's face was gloomy, and he turned his head to look at Kong Qinsi, who was leaning on the defendant's bench and hanging his head.
"Your Excellency, I'm done with my question."
When Shangguanzhan returned to the plaintiff's bench and sat down, Shen's mother and Han Du's parents both expressed great hostility towards Kong Qinsi.
and a sense of victory.
Whispers began in the audience, and Kong was clearly accused of premeditating the murder of his wife.
Kong Fanxing couldn't sit still, she wanted to escape.
I was even more afraid of meeting Shangguan Zhan's sharp eyes.
It was as if he had everything under control, unfathomable.
After a round of audio-visual evidence and questioning witnesses on the plaintiff's side, the defense lawyer Leng Rufeng began to cross-examine the witnesses.
