The judge said to us, "The first witness is the captain of the ship, and he was there when the picture was taken, so you don't have any questions to ask him." ”

Song Zhengqiao whispered to me, "This kind of person is called a neutral witness, they are not biased towards one side or the other, including us must be careful, Chen Dong and Jia Guomin may mislead them, let them say things that are not the truth, or are biased." ”

"I see." I nodded at Song Zhengqiao, Liu Yiyang and Sun Xiaoxiao also focused on the captain, and I don't know what different clues can appear on the captain's side.

The captain of the ship took his seat on the witness stand.

I looked over there, and according to the normal rules, the prosecution should ask the witnesses first, and Jia Guomin stood up and asked the captain, "Does this family really seem to be happy during this trip?" ”

The captain shook his head and said to Jia Guomin, "No, it's not like this, from beginning to end, the children have been sitting in the bow of the boat, the cold wind is blowing, the sea is lapping, I don't think they enjoy it very much." ”

Jia Guomin frowned, "Didn't you tell the police?" Did the family excitedly point to the seals playing in the water? ”

The captain was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what Jia Guomin meant by this, but he still pouted and said, "I said it." ”

Jia Guomin nodded, "Thank you." So he sat back in his seat.

I looked at Song Zhengqiao, who stood up with a smile and shook his head, "Seal, how cute." ”

But after Song Zhengqiao just let out this exclamation, the judge said to him, "Lawyer Song Zhengqiao, I don't want the jury to hear baseless comments. ”

Song Zhengqiao pursed his lips, of course he understood what this judge meant, he walked to the seat and asked the captain, "Captain, who took this photo?" ”

After glancing sideways at the photo, the captain said to Song Zhengqiao, "I took it, and this is what Ms. Zhao Yang asked me before the end of the trip." ”

"Alright, Captain Zhang, did you notice the boys trying to stay away from their parents during this trip?"

The captain thought for a moment and said, "They don't talk to their parents much, they look ...... If I had to describe it in one word, melancholy. ”

"Melancholy? And he was afraid of their parents. I guess that's what it looks like. Song Zhengqiao said to the captain.

When Song Zhengqiao had just finished speaking his judgment, Jia Guomin suddenly stood up and said, "Oppose." ”

But Song Zhengqiao didn't give Jia Guomin a chance at all, and immediately turned around and said sharply, "Withdraw the question." No more questions. After smiling, he sat down next to me and whispered to me, "I'm doing well."

I was helpless to say that Song Zhengqiao was the same, he just said to withdraw the question, these four words, at all, there is no way he described himself before that he said that he was not strong enough, the momentum of these four words is too much.

The judge tapped the table with a small hammer and said, "Well, bring the first witness down and the second witness up." ”

And between the two witness calls, we are given four or five minutes to discuss.

Song Zhengqiao whispered to me, "Who is the second witness, do you know?" ”

I shook my head and said to Song Zhengqiao, "I don't know, but I have a candidate." ”

Song Zhengqiao looked at me curiously and asked me, "Who are your candidates?" ”

"The person I contacted before, her name is Xiao Zhou, she is our deputy, and she is also the person who handled this case, and he said before that he was also on the witness stand, so it is very likely that he is also the witness this time."

Song Zhengqiao thought for a moment and said to me, "Then is it possible for him to help us?" ”

"Too favoritism, it doesn't seem to be easy to appear in this aspect, but what I can be sure of is that Xiao Zhou will definitely remain fair and will not favor Chen Dong's side."

Song Zhengqiao let out a sigh of relief and said to me, "Anyway, not favoring Chen Dong's side is an advantage for us. ”

Actually, I thought so in my heart, but because it hurt morale to say this, I didn't tell Song Zhengqiao.

Song Zhengqiao thought for a moment and said to me, "Then so be it, wait for someone to come out and see if it's your assistant." ”

After saying this, Song Zhengqiao and I looked over to the side where the witness seat did not appear, and after three minutes, sure enough, the bailiff walked out with another person, and the person who came out, I was very familiar, it was Xiao Zhou.

I said to Song Zhengqiao, it's my assistant.

Song Zhengqiao thought for a moment and nodded at me, "Okay, I understand what's going on." ”

After Xiao Zhou was done, the complainant stood up first, but this time it was Chen Dong who hid, and Chen Dong said to Xiao Zhou, "Tell me what happened that day, and what you saw when you entered the villa." ”

Xiao Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Blood dripped from the ceiling, and I saw Mr. Li Yuzhu sitting at one end of the sofa with gunshot wounds to his legs, torso and face. And he looked like he had been shot in the forehead at close range. ”

"What else do you see?" Chen Dong asked Xiao Zhou.

"Ms. Zhao Yang was lying on the floor between the sofa and the coffee table, he also had gunshot wounds all over his body, and under his left eye, one was shot at close range."

Everything that Xiao Zhou said now is still acceptable to me and Song Zhengqiao, just because what he says is objectively existent, we are like changing, and we can't change it, and we can't hide it.

Chen Dong, who was on the side, hurriedly took out a bag from the box and showed it to everyone first, it was a pair of sneakers.

Then she put it in front of Xiao Zhou, "Officer, please open the contents of this bag and state what is in it?" Xiao Zhou nodded, opened it and said, a pair of size 38 tennis shoes, the lady's should be the pair that Ms. Zhao Yang wore when she was injured.

Chen Dong showed it to everyone and put this on the evidence table, and I whispered to Song Zhengqiao, "What does she mean by this?" ”

"He's really trying to use the evidence as a reminder that jury and judge injuries are something that exists, and we can't forget that because we're saying it's for the reasons we say."

Song Zhengqiao's explanation was very clear, and I couldn't help but praise Chen Dong in my heart, although he was our enemy, he played well with this hand.

"Then do we have anything else to ask Xiao Zhou?" I asked this Song Zhengqiao.

Song Zhengqiao shook his head, "Let's not ask him anything, because he can only search for what he knows fairly now, and most of the things she knows are related to murder, if we ask more now, it will be equivalent to helping Chen Dong." ”
