Chapter 198 Hearing Day 1

On the day of the trial, the entrance of the courthouse was already crowded early in the morning, and the future entertainment car had to be parked far away. Long Xirui got out of the car and followed Ouyang Ruosi through the bustling crowd in the flickering of magnesium lights, feeling as if the stars he had seen on TV walked the red carpet.

After all, Ouyang Ruosi had the foresight to call a few personal bodyguards to stop the reporters and paparazzi who were rushing around, but someone still desperately handed the microphone in front of her.

"Miss Ouyang, at present, the media and the public have recognized that this is a case (case) that does not need to be held in court and the truth has already been revealed to the world, so if Shi Tianci, who claims to be the prince of your company, loses the lawsuit, what kind of impact do you think will have on the future of entertainment?" A well-spoken female reporter trotted all the way after Ouyang Ruosi, who was walking briskly, and asked in a speed that can be called against the sky.

Ouyang Ruosi pulled down the sunglasses on his face, his blue eyes slanted at the other party slightly, and said, "What I want to say is that justice is in the court, not in the hearts of those who have been bewitched." In addition, we are not here today to wait for the verdict to be announced. ”

Ouyang Ruosi said, the pace under his feet did not slow down at all, and before his voice fell, he had left the microphone that was chasing after him far behind.

Perhaps the prosecution lawyer thought that the evidence was too sufficient and did not ask Ouyang Ruosi and Long Xirui to appear in court as witnesses, so they were seated in the auditorium.

In a short time, the courtroom's most spacious auditorium was almost full. Suddenly, there was a slight commotion in the banquet, and it turned out that Shi Tianci, the focus of today's meeting, walked into the dock in full view of everyone.

As soon as he took his seat, he looked around intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes changed from his usual unruly and unruly, and he looked a little listless, but when he saw Ouyang Ruosi, there was still a trace of joy in his eyes.

Looking at his somewhat abnormal appearance, Long Xirui could not estimate the probability of victory or defeat in the upcoming trial. Ouyang Ruosi beside her also looked serious at this time, obviously her mood was not as optimistic as when she faced female reporters before.

The defense lawyer team led by Bi Delu came nearly half an hour later than the prosecution lawyer team, and Long Xirui found Deng Guan'er in the defense lawyer's team, fortunately her eyes did not look at the auditorium, otherwise Long Xirui would inevitably have to struggle with how to greet her.

Bi Delu took the initiative to nod at Ouyang Ruosi, but the expression on his face was like water, making it difficult to read how sure he was of winning the case.

As soon as Bidley arrived on the front foot, the presiding judge, judges, and jurors also sat down one after another.

With the sound of "court opening" after the presiding judge sounded the gavel, all the people present stood up one after another.

After everyone sat down, they read out the notes to the court as usual, and then the prosecution's lawyer presented the indictment, and then the presiding judge asked the defendant Shi Tianci whether he had pleaded guilty to the charges in the lawsuit filed by the prosecution.

"Honorable Presiding Judge, I plead not guilty." Shi Tianci stood up and said softly.

Today, he wore a black suit, a silver tie on his chest, a humble demeanor, and a gentle voice, if it weren't for the arrogance that he had seen more than once, Long Xirui could hardly believe that the elegant gentleman in front of him was the maniac accused of drinking and driving.

In court, it is not uncommon for the defendant to deny the charges, otherwise there would be no need for the defence lawyer to appear in court.

Next, according to the process, the prosecution's lawyer will present evidence for questioning.

Qu Keming walked out of the prosecution lawyer's dock, came to the defendant's dock, and asked loudly: "Mr. Shi Tianci, do you own a BMW M3-25th Anniversary Limited Edition C-63-AMG, with the license plate number: China A-99999?" ”

Shi Tianci sat up straight, but his head was slightly lowered, as if he didn't dare to look at Qu Keming, and replied in a low voice: "Yes." ”

"Is it this one in the photo on the big screen?"

As soon as Qu Keming spoke, his assistant had already displayed the photo on the big screen through his laptop, the shooting angle was at the front of the vehicle, the yellow BMW license plate in the center was clear at a glance, and through the windshield, the driver's appearance was also clearly visible, it was Shi Tianci sitting in the defendant's seat, I saw him holding the steering wheel with his right hand, sticking out of the window with his left hand, and carrying a wine bottle in his hand.

It seems that the photo is a snapshot or video screenshot of the street traffic surveillance camera, and some people in the auditorium can't help but sigh at the high-definition level of today's surveillance equipment.

Shi Tianci raised his head, glanced at the photo, and then lowered his head and nodded.

"In court, you don't have to nod your head, just answer yes or no." Qu Keming said.

"Yes." Shi Tianci's voice in reply was even weaker than before.

Qu Keming showed a somewhat smug look on his face, turned to face the judgment seat, and said, "Presiding Judge, I have no problem." ”

The presiding judge lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and asked Bi Delu, who was sitting in the defense lawyer's bench: "Defense lawyer, do you have any objections to the prosecution lawyer's evidence?" ”

Pedret leaned back in his chair and said, "I don't object." ”

This answer seemed to surprise the presiding judge and discourage the audience in the auditorium.

The presiding judge hesitated slightly and said, "Then please ask the prosecution lawyer to summon witnesses to court." ”

As Long Xirui expected, the prosecution witnesses who appeared in court were the security guards of the British community, Da Huo and Wu Bi.

"On the night of the crime, were there two people on duty who were in charge of the security of the British community?" Qu Keming asked.

The two of them said yes one after another.

"Was there anything special going on that night?"

"Yes, there was a BMW that went crazy and crashed into some public facilities." Da Huo replied.

Wu Bi also took over and said: "Yes, yes, yes, at that time, the car seemed to treat the community as a highway, banging on the accelerator, all kinds of scraping, all kinds of collisions, fortunately, there are many trees in the community, otherwise ......"

"What's the color of that BMW?" Qu Keming interjected and asked at the right time, so as to stop the chatter box that couldn't be closed as soon as the martial pen was opened.

"Yellow, pure yellow, it's the kind of yellow that is particularly eye-catching." Wu Bi interrupted his rambling train of thought and replied with a chattering mouth.

"It is the BMW M3-25th Anniversary Limited Edition C-63-AMG." Da Huo, who is familiar with the luxury cars of major brands, added a few treasures.

"Do you have an impression of the license plate number?" Qu Keming asked further.

"Country A ......"

"Five nines."

Da Huo and Wu Bi rushed to answer, one after the other.

"That number is very easy to remember, and it can be remembered at a glance." Wu Bi spoke quickly and said.

"Next question, do you see the driver's face clearly?"

"See!" Wu Bi rushed in front of Da Huo and replied, "That guy was drunk, carrying a bottle of foreign wine in his hand, and he was arrested after getting out of the car." ”

Someone in the auditorium burst out laughing, laughing at Wubi who was just a security guard, but he said that he was like a policeman.

Qu Keming still didn't smile, but turned his gaze to Da Huo, saying that he wanted to hear his testimony.

Da Huo suddenly understood and said, "He's right, the driver was so drunk that he was almost delirious. ”

"Last question, is the driver you two seeing that night in the courtroom now?" Qu Keming said, "If you are here, please point him out." ”

"In!" Wu Bi said loudly.

At the same time, Da Huo had already raised his hand and stretched out his index finger to point at Shi Tianci in the defendant's seat.

Seeing him identify in court, Wu Bi also followed his example and pointed his finger at Shi Tianci.

"Presiding Judge, I'm done." Qu Keming said, peeking at the defense lawyer Bi Delu, with a bit of smugness on the corner of his mouth, and slowly walked back to the prosecution lawyer's bench.

Seeing that Bidrud was still sitting there motionless, the presiding judge had to take the initiative to ask: "Prosecution lawyer, do you have any questions about the testimony of the witnesses?" ”

"There is no doubt." Bidley seemed to answer without thinking.

The observer room quickly changed from the previous whispers to the current commotion, and some people exchanged heads and said: "I thought that even if there was no suspense about the victory or loss of this lawsuit, the lawyers of the prosecution and defense would at least inevitably have a bit of arguing, but I didn't expect that before the handover, the defense would admit defeat!" It seems that this gold medal that is known as Dugu's defeat is just a waste of fame! ”

"Silence! Quiet! ”

The presiding judge banged on the gavel and kept order in the courtroom in a loud voice, while looking at Bidreth with some disappointment, but saw him stand up and said, "Presiding judge, please allow the defense to present evidence to the court." ”

His words seemed more majestic than the judge's gavel, and the auditorium immediately became silent.

As Deng Waner displayed a photo on the big screen, Bi Delu walked out of the defense lawyer's bench, pointed to the big screen and said: "I want to ask the defendant Mr. Shi Tianci, where is this?" ”

"It was a studio owned by our company." Shi Tianci looked at himself sitting on the sofa in the photo and said.

Bi Delu said: "Presiding judge, judges, jurors, this photo on the big screen comes from the screenshot of the surveillance video on the set of Future Entertainment Group, and the time is two o'clock in the afternoon on the day of the crime. ”

"Against!" Qu Keming, the prosecution's lawyer, stood up and said, "The set is not a public place, and in principle, its surveillance videos or photos cannot be used as evidence in court." ”

"Future Entertainment Group has purchased a huge amount of insurance for its studios, and the monitoring equipment is actually installed and used by insurance companies, so it is equivalent to a public facility in nature." "In addition, every piece of evidence that I submitted to the court on behalf of the defense has been verified to be true through strict legal procedures, and its authenticity is beyond doubt. ”

The presiding judge thought for a moment and said, "The objection is invalid. Defense lawyer, you can continue to present evidence for cross-examination. ”

"What time did you leave the set that day?" Bidley asked Shi Tianci.

"I ...... I don't remember. Shi Tianci replied a little hesitantly.

"Then why don't I help you remember."

As he spoke, Bi Delu motioned to Deng Guaner to show the second piece of evidence on the big screen, which was a surveillance video in which a woman walked to a car and unlocked it with the key, but instead of opening the door on the driver's side, she bypassed the front of the car and sat in the passenger seat.

"Mr. Shi, who is this woman?" Bidley asked.

Shi Tianci seemed to want to speak and stopped, and said hesitantly: "An artist under the company." ”

Long Xirui, who was in the auditorium, recognized the woman as Bootiful at a glance, and was on the set that day to make brand endorsements for Double-Beauty and shoot commercials.
