Chapter 200 Sessions Day 3

The drunk driving case, which had been recognized by the outside world as unsuspenseful before the trial, has now become confusing again because of the appearance of Mai Sheng.

Looking at Shi Tianci and Mai Sheng, who were difficult to distinguish in front of him, Long Xirui unconsciously thought of the once sensational Itaewon murder incident. In April 1997, in a hamburger restaurant in Itaewon, Seoul, a South Korean college student was killed with a sharp weapon, and there was a family member of a US military stationed in South Korea and an American Korean expatriate at the scene, and the two suspects testified to each other in court that the other was the murderer. Afterwards, the case was listed as one of the "Top 10 Crimes of the US Military in South Korea", and it also caused great indignation among the South Korean people at that time.

In this case, due to the extremely high similarity between Mai Sheng and Shi Tianci in appearance and shape, any photos, videos, and even eyewitness testimony have lost their original probative effect, and it is impossible to distinguish between Mai Sheng and Shi Tianci who drank wine and drove a BMW, nor can they distinguish between Shi Tianci and Mai Sheng who drove Bootiful to Schubert's villa, and the key information such as fingerprints and DNA that really have the significance of "human ID (ID card)" identification have not been grasped by the police so far.

Logically, if both men plead not guilty to the charges against them, then the trial process in court will inevitably be deadlocked, but unlike the two pleaded not guilty to the Itaewon murder incident, Mai Sheng's voluntary confession, even if it only gave various photos and video evidence a superficial plausibility, was enough for the police to close the case logically.

Unexpectedly, it is reasonable that Bi Delu's sentence "hiding from the sky and crossing the sea" left Long Xirui with the most profound feeling at this moment. Using the Internet and the media to exaggerate and even self-harm the drunk driving incident, in fact, it is to capture the past, paralyze the police and the prosecution lawyer, and focus everyone's attention on the evidence, but Bi Delu did not play his cards according to common sense and find a breakthrough point from the evidence, but secretly shifted the object of the evidence, and what laid the victory for him was Mai Sheng's appearance and body shape, which were the same as Shi Tianci.

Thinking of this, Long Xirui couldn't help but glance at Mai Sheng again, and asked Ouyang Ruosi beside him in a low voice: "Have you ever mentioned to me that there is such a stand-in in Tianci." ”

An unnatural look appeared on Ouyang Ruosi's face, and she said, "I only found out today. ”

"It seems that there are quite a few people who have shared this accident with me!"

"Is it like I found you for Blanche?" Ouyang Ruosi said thoughtfully, "No matter what, we have won this case!" ”

While speaking, Long Xirui caught a glimpse of Qu Keming in the prosecution's lawyer's bench who seemed to be arguing with his assistant, and from time to time he smashed the materials on the table with his hand. Looking at the defense lawyer's bench again, it was already empty.

The 20-minute adjournment passed quickly, and when everyone returned to the courtroom, the presiding judge announced as usual that the lawyers for the prosecution and defense would make final statements on behalf of their respective clients.

Qu Keming stood up in the prosecution lawyer's box and said: "Respected presiding judge, judges, and jurors, regarding the case of Shi Tianci being accused of drunk driving, the road surveillance video provided by the traffic police department has sufficient evidence, and there is more than one witness in the British community who has witnessed the appearance of the defendant. At present, it is difficult to determine the uniqueness of the suspect with evidence, that is, the possibility that the defendant himself appeared at the scene of the crime on the day cannot be ruled out. In view of the fairness and fairness of the law, it is necessary to re-collect relevant evidence, so I apply to the court to postpone the trial of this case. ”

If it was said that before the trial, the audience almost overwhelmingly believed that the defendant Shi Tianci had no chance of winning, then after Mai Sheng appeared in court, everyone's attitude almost reversed 180 degrees, but at this moment, after listening to the final statement of the prosecution's lawyer Qu Keming, there were many people who nodded frequently, feeling that it was still difficult to decide who would die in the end of this case.

In the impatient gaze of the people, Bidley began to make his final statement on behalf of the defense: "As the lawyer representing Mr. Shi Tianci, it is necessary for me to remind the presiding judge, the judges and the jurors that the focus of this case is whether the defendant was drunk driving on the night of the crime. ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then said: "In the face of the overwhelming rumors in the media and the Internet, Mr. Shi did not choose to come forward to clarify at the first time, why? In fact, he only needs to provide an alibi at the time of the crime, but he didn't, why? Because he was with a lady at the time, and out of respect for the privacy of others, he didn't want to make something public. If it weren't for his stand-in, Mr. Mai Sheng, who didn't have the courage to turn himself in to the police station because he was afraid of the accident, but went missing and hiding, so we only found him recently, and the truth wouldn't have to wait for today to play out here. ”

Just as Bidreux pointed his finger at Mai Sheng as he spoke, Mai Sheng pretended to be depressed and silently lowered his head.

Although everyone's eyes were following Bidrew's hand, a pair of ears followed his voice, only to hear him continue: "As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing." However, the truth of this case may inevitably cause misunderstanding even if everyone reads it. From a legal professional point of view, those photos, videos, and witness testimony that have misled the public are simply difficult to prove that my client appeared at the scene of the crime, and the police cannot produce relevant reliable evidence, let alone fingerprints, DNA and other first-class evidence, with a drunk driving standard of 80mg or more per 100 milliliters. An indictment that is not supported by strong evidence will inevitably result in the defendant's acquittal. Therefore, I hope that the court will acquit my client, Mr. Shi Tianci, in accordance with the law. As for the prosecution's lawyer's proposal to postpone the case for retrial, it is obviously extremely unfair to my client, precisely because the prosecution's false accusation with insufficient evidence has led to huge losses to my client's reputation, interests and other aspects, and his company's future entertainment has suffered hundreds of millions of economic losses in just a few days, and if the trial is postponed again, then the subsequent losses will undoubtedly become astronomical. ”

Bi Delu's statement of reason and emotion made many people nod their heads incessantly.

After adjourning the court for a while, amid the sound of people's heads and ears, the presiding judge knocked on the gavel and said: "Through the court trial just now, this court has heard the evidence presented and cross-examined by the prosecution and defense, and after deliberation by the collegial panel, the verdict in this case is now pronounced. ”

"All stand up!" The clerk said aloud.

In a silent and solemn atmosphere, the presiding judge said: "This court believes that the three charges of drunk driving, dangerous driving, and damage to public property put forward by the prosecution against the defendant Shi Tianci are not established due to insufficient evidence. If the prosecution has objections, an appeal may be made. In addition, the court recommended that the prosecution file a lawsuit against another suspect in the case, Mai Sheng. ”

Looking at the unwilling appearance of Qu Keming in the prosecution lawyer's seat, Long Xirui thought that the law is really a strange thing, and now Qu Keming wants to prove Shi Tianci's guilt, he has to prove his innocence in the next drunk driving case against Mai Sheng.

The news of the earth-shattering reversal in the courtroom spread almost faster than the plague, and there were already crowds of people outside the courtroom, and the number of reporters and paparazzi who heard the news was several times greater than they did before the trial.

Under the "protection" of the bodyguards, Shi Tianci swaggered out of the courthouse, and was instantly surrounded by dozens of microphones out of reach.

"Mr. Shi, what do you want to say about winning this case? Are there any plans to sue the media and networks that spread the false narrative? ”

"Mr. Shi, can you reveal the name of the woman who took your car to the villa on the night of the crime? There have been many speculations from the outside world, is it one of the seven sons of Quanzhen? ”

"Mr. Shi, how long has your stand-in been working for you? Have you been interviewed more by us before, or have you had more of a stand-in? Did you let him appear at the same time as you until today, with the intention of playing tricks on the police and the prosecution's lawyer? ”

……

Everyone was babbling about questions, some pertinent, some gossiping.

Shi Tianci changed his low-key demeanor in the courtroom, held his head high and said: "I can only say that those who are clean are self-purifying, and the law is just after all." If you ask me to say more, I'll have to complain. Your untruthful reports on me have caused me and my company too much trouble, and I will have to be busy for a long time to come. ”

After speaking, Shi Tianci took out a pair of sunglasses from his arms and put them on his face, and walked out with great vigor amid the sound of questions around him.

With Shi Tianci attracting people's attention in front, Long Xirui and Ouyang Ruosi were able to find another way out of the crowd and avoid the entanglement of reporters and paparazzi.

Carefully and impatiently sat in the car, giving people a kind of joy like a victorious escape.

At this moment, Ouyang Ruosi's mobile phone rang, and after connecting it, he only heard Li Lin's voice excitedly shouting: "Sister Rose, the company's stock price has rebounded strongly - oh! It's just up and down today! ”

"As long as the God-given lawsuit can be won, this is just expected." Ouyang Ruosi said it lightly, but the expression on his face was far less calm.

"And those investors who had previously interrupted the supply of funds have now come back to send money."

Ouyang Ruosi snorted: "Just go, come when you want, what do they think of future entertainment?" Tell them that we have found a new partner during the time the funds are not available. Whett their appetite first, unless they invest another 50 percent, they will not talk about it. ”

As she hung up, she motioned for the driver to drive.

"Where are we going now?" Long Xirui asked.

"When I go back to the company, I may need to help you dress up." Ouyang Ruosi blinked her blue eyes.

"Dressed?"

"For tonight's celebration feast."
