Chapter 147: The Son of a Thousand Golds, Not Dead in the City (II)

Lu Tianwei and Chen Si's negotiation finally broke up unhappily as expected. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

In the corridor outside the courtroom, everyone was waiting for the trial here, Lu Tianwei was surrounded by Yan Wenjing, assistants, lawyers and others, while Chen Si was standing in a corner more than ten meters away, closing his eyes and recuperating.

Suddenly, Chen Si's ears moved, and he used the super hearing brought by Tianyan to hear the conversation of Lu Tianwei and the others intermittently.

"Miss, what's going on, did he agree?"

Assistant Xiaoling asked.

"Nope."

Lu Tianwei's voice was cold, and then she asked the two elite lawyers of Tianyuan Law Firm, "How are you preparing?" ”

"Miss, please rest assured."

The lawyer said confidently, "Tian Yuan Law Firm has served the Lu family for more than five years, and there has never been anything unfair. This time, more than 100 of our personnel worked overtime for three days and three nights, and we were fully prepared, and all the situations that happened in court were under our control, not to mention that this time it was the director who personally took action, and it was even more foolproof. Even if the other party's witness bites to death because it was Young Master Lu Tianxiang who killed him, in the worst case, the sentence will not exceed ten years, and there will never be life or even death. ”

"Ten years?"

Lu Tianwei still felt very dissatisfied, "My brother is so young, and he is really in prison for ten years, which is almost the same as indefinite." Can't there be better results? ”

"That's right."

The lawyer quickly explained, "This is actually just a compromise strategy on the surface, and the 10-year prison sentence is to give the plaintiff an explanation." In the future, we will use some means to arrange Young Master Lu Tianxiang to a special prison, which will not make him suffer, but will be equivalent to traveling. After two or three months, after a little more activity, the little young master will have his sentence commuted because of his good performance, and he will never leave any trouble. The so-called trial is actually just a play. ”

"That's pretty much it."

Lu Tianwei finally smiled.

In the distance, Chen Si's heart gradually sank.

He originally thought that as long as Lu Tianxiang's charges were confirmed, he would definitely be sentenced to death, but he didn't expect that he was still too young and naΓ―ve......

At this moment, there were footsteps in the corridor, it was Qi Tianyuan and Monroe, but the expressions of the two were in stark contrast: the corners of Qi Tianyuan's mouth were upturned, and he smiled confidently. But Monroe's face sank like water, and her pretty face was frosty.

"Monroe, you know best who I am, do you think you can bring me failure? Let's hurry up and end this time-wasting trial, and when it's over, I'll treat you to a meal and everyone open up and talk, I really need you back! ”

Qi Tianyuan left a few words for Monroe in a serious manner, and went to meet Lu Tianwei and the others.

"Do you know that Qi Tianyuan?"

Chen Si asked curiously, even fools could see that the relationship between Monroe and Qi Tianyuan seemed to be very unusual.

"He's my teacher."

Monroe's words surprised Chen Si.

"It was 10 years ago."

Monroe let out a long sigh, "Ten years ago, I just became a lawyer, and it was Qi Tianyuan who brought me into the industry. I always respected him as an adult, and I repaid him for his appreciation by working hard without asking for anything in return for his meager salary in his law firm. As a result, this well-dressed beast actually wanted the overlord to take the bow and unsubtly rule me, but I broke a leg! Then I resigned and left in a fit of rage, wanting to start my own business and form my own team of lawyers, but I was met with Qi Tianyuan's crazy revenge. He used his connections and resources to stumble on me in all sorts of ways: dividing my partner, digging into my corner, and even spreading rumors to ruin my personal reputation, and finally I went bankrupt and couldn't get along. I was unwilling to give in to him and eventually had to choose to leave the industry. Later, Wu Jianjun came to the door, and I joined the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group......"

When Chen Si heard this, he didn't expect Monroe's past to be like this. Unexpectedly, in this trial, the other party's lawyer was actually her biggest enemy.

"By the way, you just... What did you say to Lu Tianwei? ”

Monroe asked suddenly, before she left, she saw Lu Tianwei talking to Chen Si.

"It's nothing, she's just trying to intercede for her brother."

"So, have you been tempted by her beauty scheme?" Monroe blinked.

"Beauty tricks?"

Chen Si smiled and shook his head. Some people just have a good skin.

Crunch!

At this time, at last it was nine o'clock, and the doors of the courtroom opened punctually.

"Let's go, no matter what, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. If I throw in the towel like this, it's not my style! ”

Monroe's eyes flashed, and she strode into the courtroom.

And Chen Si, accompanied by several bailiffs, also went to the waiting room, waiting for him to be summoned to testify in court.

……

Outpost Town is a special place, where hundreds of criminal cases, large and small, occur every day, and deaths are even more frequent. If every case follows the normal procedure, the court will have to be paralyzed, so the court adopts a model of rapid trial, and there are not many rules.

The courtroom is also relatively simple, with judges on the trial bench, Li Hong and lawyer Monroe sitting on the plaintiff's seat, Lu Tianxiang, Luo Hu, the head of the plane and other criminal suspects and Qi Tianyuan in the defendant's seat, and Lu Tianwei, Yan Wenjing, and others sitting in the observer seat.

The fact that the murder case of Lu Tianxiang and others was tried in Qianshao Town means that there are many loopholes that can be exploited, and in general, it is very unfavorable to the plaintiff Li Hong.

At this time, Monroe was fighting alone.

In the courtroom, both judges and lawyers often wear black suits to emphasize their authority, but Monroe did the opposite, wearing a white lawyer's suit and attending with the image of a "white knight".

Before beginting, she first protested against the "closed trial", claiming that this mode of trial is disrespectful to the victim and a blatant protection of the suspect.

And Qi Tianyuan obviously came prepared.

"It's true that the victim needs to be respected, so the law seeks justice for the dead mother and daughter, but doesn't the prisoner need to be respected? As everyone knows, the identities of Lu Tianxiang and others are rather special, and if they are tried openly, the public's hatred of the rich and the powerful will form a huge pressure of public opinion and drown them out. Everyone is equal before the law, and Lu Tianxiang cannot be given unequal treatment just because he is a rich third generation. That is why we insist on a closed hearing. ”

Qi Tianyuan summed up rhetorically, "If the law is indignantly despised by the people, then one day when the people need legal protection, the law will also be flouted by others!" ”

I have to say that his answer was beautiful, but Monroe was not prepared to dwell on him on this issue.

"Lu Tianxiang, the deceased Li Xiaomeng died of mechanical suffocation, and you found a pinch mark on her neck, do you have anything to defend this?"

Monroe stared at Lu Tianxiang, her eyes were like knives.

"I can't remember anything, my mind went blank."

Lu Tianxiang only had this one sentence, and no matter how Monroe asked, he replied with "his mind was blank", and he didn't say a single superfluous word, obviously he was told by Qi Tianyuan.

What caught Monroe off guard was that Qi Tianyuan actually defended Lu Tianxiang on the grounds of "mental illness", claiming that he suffered from schizophrenia, and also showed a lot of information on the spot to prove it.

"Lu Tianxiang, how do you feel in your heart now?" Qi Tianyuan asked.

"I regret it, I feel painful, I blame myself." Lu Tianxiang looked gloomy, and he squeezed out a few tears.

"What would you do if you were given a chance to be a new person?" Qi Tianyuan asked again.

"I will definitely repent and do my best to make up for Mr. Li Hong, help him get out of the shadows, and at the same time silently repay the society and be a useful person to the society."

Lu Tianxiang said.

Even on the grounds that Lu Tianxiang was suffering from mental illness for manslaughter, had a good attitude in admitting guilt, and had circumstances of voluntary surrender, Qi Tianyuan strongly requested the judge to give a lenient sentence.

The situation was very unfavorable to the plaintiff for a while.

"Lu Tianxiang, do you dare to look at me, look into my eyes, and say that you are mentally ill?!"

On the plaintiff's bench, Li Hong trembled with anger, "You are an adult, you pressed a five-year-old girl to the ground, pressed her head on the floor and hit her head until her head bled out, pinched her neck for more than ten minutes, and even a few hours later, the corpse's neck still had deep dents on it, so frustrated, and now you want to pretend to be pitiful?" My wife, my daughter, two living beings, they were so kind, but you brutally killed them! And you, a wolf-hearted lawyer, still desperately wash the floor for him, do you still have a conscience? I curse you, all of you go to hell and die a good death! ”

"Protest."

Qi Tianyuan expressed dissatisfaction and was indifferent to Li Hong's roar.

"Mr. Li Hong, I can understand your feelings. In this case, although the deceased were not my relatives, seeing their tragic deaths, even as a lawyer for the defendants, I hope that the murderer will die. But the law is the law, it has its process norms, and we must follow the law. ”

Qi Tianyuan said it soundingly.

"I ask that witnesses be called."

Monroe had no choice but to use her last hole card.

"Is it my turn?"

In the midst of everyone's attention, Chen Si walked out of the waiting room accompanied by the bailiff, and in the time that had just passed, he had thought a lot in his heart and finally made a decision......

Chen Si came to the witness stand.

"Lu Tianxiang, do you insist that you are mentally ill?" Monroe asked sharply.

"I really can't remember anything, my mind goes blank."

Lu Tianxiang looked aggrieved and innocent.

"Okay."

Monroe turned around again and asked Chen Si, "Chen Si, you witnessed the murder scene of Lu Tianxiang and others, and in the process of following up on several people, you also heard from the words of several people that they killed people for the initiation ceremony of the fraternity, and several people were very sober at the time, and there was no possibility of insanity." Is this your testimony? ”

For a while, the courtroom was quiet, and everyone's eyes were on Chen Si, waiting for his answer.

Lu Tianwei, Yan Wenjing and others watched coldly, looking indifferent; Lu Tianxiang and other suspects hated Chen Si and gritted their teeth; And Li Hong, Gao Cheng and others seem to have seen hope again, and they are full of expectations and trust in him.

"I don't remember exactly."

Chen Sidao.

"What?!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

"What did you say?"

Monroe looked shocked and out of proportion.

"I don't remember exactly."

Chen Si shook his head and said, "Actually, I suspect now that it was too late that day, I may not have seen it clearly, maybe it wasn't a few of them." It may be a misunderstanding. ”

"Witness, do you want to change your testimony?"

The judge on the bench asked.

"Yes, I give up testifying."

After Chen Si said this, he retreated. (To be continued.) )
