The solemn courtroom has its own coldness.

The presiding judge looked at Ling Xiao, "What do defense lawyers need to ask?"

At this time, Ling Xiao stood up.

After bowing slightly to the presiding judge, he turned to look at Zhuo Yue: "Just now, you described that my client had twice choked the deceased, that is, your father, and pushed him to the balcony, and the deceased fell from the stairs in the second process, right?"

"Yes."

"Excuse me, then, where were you when my client grabbed your father by the neck the second time and pushed him to the edge of the balcony?"

"Me?" Zhuoyue's sobs paused, as if thinking.

Ling Xiao didn't want to give her time to think, and asked in a cold voice, "Then you answer me now, you were not with the deceased at that time."

Zhuo Yue's voice was empty: "Yes."

Ling Xiao: "And what did you do to stop this from happening?"

Zhuo Yue covered her face with her hands and cried, "It's so sudden, I... It's too late."

Ling Xiao nodded, as if agreeing with her.

He propped himself on the table with one hand, his chin tilted slightly, and his tone was unhurried: "Where were you when my client first grabbed your father by the neck and pushed him to the balcony?"

Zhuo Yue put down his hand and sniffed: "Of course, of course, I rushed over and grabbed Ren Xingyan's hand to stop him!"

Ling Xiao raised his hand and held up a piece of evidence: "This is a photo of the footprints at the scene, and the photo shows that you only have one head-on footprint."

What does this mean?

Zhu Shan frowned.

Could it be that Ling Xiao wanted to prove that Zhuoyue didn't step forward to stop it for the second time?

Zhuo Yue had the same thoughts as Zhu Shan, and explained loudly: "When Ren Xingyan grabbed my father's neck for the first time, I rushed up, my father couldn't stand steadily, and I didn't leave him, of course, only once."

Ling Xiao put down the photo: "Then the second time, why didn't you have time to stop it?"

As soon as these words fell, the courtroom scene was silent, and everyone looked at Zhuoyue.

Zhuo Yue's face was not good-looking, her mouth trembled, and she was a little panicked.

Zhu Shan unconsciously picked her fingers.

It turns out that the second time is asked, and then the first time.

It seems illogical, but in fact it is burying a pit.

Ling Xiao tilted his head, and his voice was very low and deep in the silent courtroom: "Please answer me."

Prosecutor Su stood up: "Object."

Ling Xiao lifted his glasses and did not speak.

The presiding judge pondered for two seconds: "Witness, please answer."

Prosecutor Su sat down helplessly.

All eyes were once again focused on Bonjour.

Her eyes shook slightly, "Because... It was so sudden, I thought Ren Xingyan really wanted to talk to me, it was my negligence, I didn't expect him to kill someone."

"So..." Ling Xiao propped his hands on the table, his body was in a bullying state, and he felt a little oppressive, "After my client asked the bodyguard to leave, you really thought that there was going to be a negotiation, right?"

Bonjour: "......"

Prosecutor Su: "......"

The topic changed too quickly, and there was no sound at the scene.

Ling Xiao stood up, and his tone was calm as if to elaborate: "Then I can understand that my client is not lying, you are indeed going to negotiate, right?"

"I... I—" Zhuo Yue slurred for a few seconds, then shook his head and raised his hand to point at Ren Xingyan, "He lied! He just said that I was going to talk to him and asked the bodyguard to leave, but in fact, he took the initiative to say that he wanted to talk to me, which was all an excuse for him to support other witnesses, and he didn't want to talk at all, he just wanted to kill people......

Ling Xiao raised his hand to stop him: "You just need to answer me, you thought you were going to negotiate at the time, didn't you?"

「...... Yes."

Ling Xiao raised his eyelids, "So, you haven't left your father's side since then, right?"

Zhuoyue nodded, "Yes."

The corners of Ling Xiao's mouth were undetectable, and he raised his hand to take out another piece of evidence: "Then why do you have a backward footprint?" And is it far from the place where the dead fall?"

Bonjour was silent again.

Ling Xiao's tone was deep: "Please answer me."

"I... I... I was scared, I couldn't believe he really pushed my dad down, so I took a few steps back." Zhuo Yue blinked, tears slid down, looking very painful, she covered her heart, "I was so flustered, I don't remember exactly what my footprints were, don't ask me again, I can't remember."

Zhu Shan took a long breath.

Obviously, Ling Xiao's wording is not sharp, and there are no obvious ups and downs in tone.

But she still felt the strong air pressure, and subconsciously held her breath.

Zhu Shan looked at Zhuo Yue, who was standing there, covering her face and crying.

She said that she was too flustered at the time to remember the detailed route of her movements, and in that case, it was okay... Understandable.

But Zhu Shan just felt a strange feeling in her heart.

Ling Xiao didn't seem to intend to ask, so he took a document from Li Shang's hand and held it up: "Presiding judge, just now the deceased's daughter said that the deceased had been punched and kicked by Ren Xingyan before his death, but I have just reconfirmed the deceased's autopsy report, and there is nothing else on the deceased's body except for the wounds from falling from a height, the marks of the arms being held hostage, and the marks of the neck being pinched."

No scars?

Did Bonjour lie?

Zhu Shan was a little shocked.

First, it was shocking that Zhuo Yue dared to lie in court; Second, the shock Ling Xiao's capture is too keen, and it is clear that Zhuoyue's "fists and kicks added" just now is only lightly touched upon, and it is not described or emphasized too much.

There was a moment of silence in the courtroom, and Zhu Shan saw that the presiding judge and the jury were all looking down at the papers.

Zhuoyue suddenly shouted to break the situation: "I said the addition of punches and kicks... Not really... ...... Fingers"

Ling Xiao looked sideways at Zhuo Yue, and the lenses of his glasses couldn't stop the sharpness of his eyes: "Then may I ask the witness, what kind of fists and kicks are added?" Is it not heavy enough to show scars on the deceased's body, or is it ......?"

Ling Xiao sneered, and his sharp eyes became playful: "Is it the addition of verbal fists and kicks?"

Bonjour: "......"

Ling Xiao retracted his gaze and said lightly, "Or, you're lying."

Prosecutor Su stood up: "Oppose !!"

He turned to look at the inquisitor: "Oppose the defense lawyer's unwarranted speculation!"

Presiding Judge: "Defense lawyer, please pay attention to the wording."

"Okay, Presiding Judge." Ling Xiao nodded slightly, and looked at Zhuo Yue again, "Then please ask the witness to answer me, what is the so-called addition of fists and kicks?"

Zhuo Yue slowly lowered her head and choked up, "I'm sorry, I just said that the addition of fists and kicks is a bit exaggerated, but for the rest, I didn't lie, I definitely didn't lie!" I just want to emphasize that Ren Xingyan is really a demon with no humanity!"

Ling Xiao retracted his gaze and looked straight ahead: "The witness is the daughter of the deceased, and there is an irreconcilable conflict with my client, she harassed my client through various channels, and even harassed me, I don't make any evaluation of the witness's testimony just now, but I hope that the presiding judge and the jurors can consider all the testimony of the witnesses."

After speaking, Ling Xiao sat down: "I have no problem."

Zhu Shan looked at Ling Xiao, his face calmly looking ahead.

She glanced at Prosecutor Su again. He was looking at Ling Xiao, unabashedly sharp.

Zhu Shan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, she finally knew what that strange feeling in her heart was.

Before Ling Xiao asked Bonjour, there was no paradox in Bonjour's description.

But now, although Ling Xiao did not prove that Zhuo Yue lied about Ren Xingyan's push to fall to the deceased, she felt that her description of the events of that night was not clear, and what she said was very messy.

Zhuo Yue is the daughter of the deceased, and at the beginning, she testified that she saw Ren Xingyan push the deceased with her own eyes.

Perhaps, Ling Xiao never wanted to follow

Zhuo Yue proved that Ren Xingyan was innocent, he just wanted, her whole testimony... become untrustworthy.

After a while, Zhu Shan stepped into the witness seat.

She didn't dare to look at Ling Xiao at a glance, and automatically set up a protection mechanism.

She calmly followed the words prepared in advance, and clearly stated what she saw and heard that night.

Ling Xiao stood up and looked at Zhu Shan, "May I ask the witness, why did you go to that entertainment club at that time?"

Zhu Shan: "I made an appointment for an interview."

Ling Xiao: "What Zhuo Yue said earlier, the reporter I know is you, right?"

Zhu Shan: "I don't know her well, I just ran into ......."

Ling Xiao interrupted, "You just need to answer, yes or no."

It's a bit fierce.

Zhu Shan looked at him and bit her lip, "Yes."

Ling Xiao immediately looked away: "You just said that at about eight o'clock, I saw my client's bodyguard, escorting the deceased and the deceased's daughter to appear in the hall of the "Bolang Entertainment Club", and the deceased's daughter shouted to you for help, did you plan to call the police at that time?"

Zhu Shan: "Yes."

Ling Xiao: "Why did you call the police when you looked at it from afar?"

「！！！」 Zhu Shan blinked, feeling that the question was inexplicable, "Zhuoyue called for help from me."

"But you just said that you were some distance away at the time, and you didn't hear them talking or anything else."

"Because I know their previous conflict, and the 'Bolang Entertainment Club' is Ren Xingyan's territory, if Ren Xingyan wants to be unfavorable to Zhuoyue's father and daughter, no one dares to take care of it, I can only call the police."

Ling Xiao nodded, and his tone was slow and low: "So, without knowing anything, you have already preconceived the preconceived belief that my client has the intention of violating the deceased and the deceased's daughter? I've already had a bad pre-booking perception of my client in my mind, right?"

Before Zhu Shan could speak, Prosecutor Su stood up: "Oppose!"

Ling Xiao took out a piece of information and didn't look at Zhu Shan:

"The witness was the first person to call the police on the night of the crime, and she also testified that my client had robbed her mobile phone and fed her unknown pills that night."

"After police investigation, the unknown pill in the witness's mouth was vitamin B produced in accordance with the law."

"I questioned my client, he snatched the witness's mobile phone because the witness was a reporter, thinking that she had secretly filmed, and after the examination, it was returned to the witness intact."

"I do not deny that my client crossed the line with regard to the vigilant behaviour of the witnesses that night..."

"But!" Ling Xiao changed his words and looked at the presiding judge: "I think it is very important whether the witnesses have a fair perception of my client."

Presiding Judge: "Witnesses can choose to answer or not to answer."

Prosecutor Su sat down.

Zhu Shan looked at Ling Xiao and clenched her little fists.

It's too much!

What is B vitamins?

What vigilance behavior?

What crosses the line?

also gave her the name of "unfair cognition".

It's too much!!

Zhu Shan gritted her teeth and said, "I can answer. I called the police at that time because Bonjour called for help from me, and I saw that she and the deceased were being held hostage by Ren Xingyan's bodyguards, and the deceased had no ability to resist, and I didn't dare to rush forward, so I chose to call the police."

Zhu Shan looked at Ling Xiao: "I didn't pre-plan that the defendant would commit an assault, I just wanted to ask the police for help as a passer-by, a citizen, and when I couldn't help, I didn't choose to ignore it."
