"Excuse me, do you like poached eggs?"

Yes, you heard it right, that's Alice's question.

In the sacred courtroom, in the criminal division of the city court in Dongfang City, she raised such a question that left many people dumbfounded and almost untenable.

The question of how many people in the audience like to eat poached eggs is indeed very contemplative......

Wrong!

"Against!"

Ren Qianning was the first to not hold back, and stood up directly to interrupt.

"In court, what the hell is this question, it's too, it's too ......"

This question was so down-to-earth that Ren Qianning couldn't think of any good reasons to refute it for a while.

Chen Rushan looked at her, and then at Alice, without saying a word, but the meaning was already obvious.

Interpretation!

"Judge Chen, in the pre-trial stage, both the prosecution and defense can ask questions of any kind, as long as the questions are within a reasonable range and do not involve anything that may affect 404?"

Alice also let go this time, and since the questions were raised, then she was fortunate to let go.

Will the prosecution object?

This is something that has been expected for a long time, so the corresponding measures are also in place.

"Yes!" Chen Rushan nodded and answered one word concisely.

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with that, as long as you don't ask questions that will trigger a 404, any question of reasonableness can be asked.

You ask the jury if they like poached eggs, red bean paste, or crushed ice.

Since Chen Rushan said so, Ren Qianning had no choice but to sit down, and the expression on his face was still untensed.

And the hearing seat has already been thundered by the question just now.

"Teacher Luo, Teacher Luo, Teacher Luo......"

Many students looked at Luo Xiaoxiang, and the students who approached behind Teacher Luo hurriedly shouted a few times.

"Ah, oh, uh, ahem, I choked on the water just now, my, my ......"

Luo Xiaoxiang hurriedly put down the water glass, but the embarrassment on his face couldn't be concealed.

Hey, hey, you didn't drink any water just now, didn't you squirt out the water?

Drink water, what water?

Mr. Luo said that in today's trial, he was shocked by the pre-trial alone.

Xiao Du, why don't you play cards according to the routine?

You're going to embarrass me as a law school lecturer, you know?

Of course Alice didn't know, and even she didn't know that Luo Xiaoxiang would bring so many classmates to observe her trial.

Even, she didn't know that Jia Meimei was also among this group of students.

At this moment, Jia Meimei's expression was stunned, and she obviously did not come back to her senses from the poached egg question just now.

"What does this mean?"

Jia Meimei's rank is not enough, so it is naturally impossible to understand the purpose of this question.

The dog-licking trio looked at each other, then shook their heads.

Teacher Luo can't answer, how can we understand.

Licking Dog Threesome: I can't read it, but I'm blown away!

Luo Xiaoxiang can't understand it, Qi Zhengtian can't understand it, and Chen Rushan can't understand it.

If you want to say that the only person in the audience can understand, it may be Zhang Yi who really wrote this question.

He sneered in his heart, but there was a confident expression on his face.

"A poached egg will shock you and kill you with laughter."

Muttering inwardly, he gave Alice a thumbs up.

OK!

Little girl can, ask such a question in front of so many people, and she is not stage frightened, so let's continue.

Alice saw this gesture, and her delicate pretty face was also full of great embarrassment.

But Zhang Yi's gesture made her understand one thing, and she had to continue to ask questions.

"That...... If you like or have eaten poached eggs, please raise your hand. ”

Dozens of jurors looked at each other, and then some subconsciously raised their hands.

One by one, arms were raised, and then almost ninety percent of the jurors raised their hands.

It seems that everyone has eaten poached eggs.

"So, when you eat poached eggs, do you like to add soy sauce or chili sauce?"

Ah, and an additional question?

The jury looked at each other again, and this is also a question?

It's not the first time they've been on a jury, but they've never heard of such a strange question.

In the previous trials, whether it was criminal or civil proceedings, the questions asked by the prosecutor and the lawyer were relatively close to the case.

In criminal proceedings, prosecutors will ask more serious questions, while in civil proceedings, although the questions will be more relaxed, they will be more about your profession and hobbies.

What the hell is eating poached eggs?

And you have to add soy sauce, add chili sauce, what the hell is this?

If you eat poached eggs, can't you honestly eat an omelette?

"I like to eat a plain omelette without adding anything."

Sure enough, someone couldn't help it and complained directly.

"Judge Chen, we dismiss this juror."

And Alice didn't get used to him, and turned her head directly to the judgment seat and said so.

The corners of Chen Rushan's mouth twitched slightly, but he still nodded, signaling that he knew.

The man had no choice but to leave the table and walk out of the jury.

And this scene also made many people unable to hold back again.

Ren Qianning turned his head and looked at Qi Zhengtian in the hearing seat, Qi Zhengtian also happened to be paying attention to Alice at the moment, and noticed the gaze of his subordinates.

The two looked at each other from a distance, but then they both looked confused.

I don't understand!

Seeing Ren Qianning's gaze as if asking for help, Qi Zhengtian could only subconsciously spread his hands, saying that he had no solution.

Because of this routine, he has never encountered it.

No, I think I've encountered ......

Qi Zhengtian's expression instantly became solemn, because of these strange ways of asking questions, he seemed to have really encountered them in a court trial three years ago.

However, three years ago, the lawyer who raised these strange questions in court was not the rookie on the stage, but ......

Could it be that this rookie is the heir to that mantle?

No way!

When pigs fly!

Qi Zhengtian suppressed the thoughts in his heart, glanced at Alice a few times, and looked at it solemnly.

This little girl is dressed neatly, her clothes are not stained with dust, and her body is meticulous.

I don't know why, seeing Alice's dress, Qi Zhengtian felt inexplicably comfortable.

Well...... Well???

Qi Zhengtian finally reacted, why was he distracted again?

This is obviously a case from their district prosecutor's office, how can they suddenly have a good impression of the defense, this is not appropriate!

Also, does that little rookie on the stage really have anything to do with that?

Thinking so, he unconsciously glanced at the next door, but then immediately looked away.

Is this the real thing?

Qi Zhengtian was skeptical, but he felt unlikely.

And Luo Xiaoxiang on the side has already decided to keep his mouth shut, at least before the end of the preliminary trial, he is not ready to continue to explain.

There is no way, this speech may be slapped in the face, so it is better not to speak.

Laugh!

Since you can't speak, then laugh, at least be happy and in a better mood......

In court, the questioning continued.

"May I ask this lady, do you prefer soy sauce or chili sauce?"

"I don't like poached eggs, I have high cholesterol!" The woman crossed her waist and answered the question with an arrogant attitude.

Alice was also not used to her, and turned to Chen Rushan and shook her head.

Gotcha, one more!

"What about you, this gentleman?"

"Me, I like to add some pepper to get rid of the fishy smell when frying, and I don't need to add anything when I eat it."

"Uh-huh, yes."

Alice gave the man a sweet smile and turned to Chen Rushan and nodded.

Got it, this one stays!

Under the bewildered gaze of the audience, Alice eliminated several jurors around the issue of eating poached eggs, but also left more seats.

"That, Sister Ren, do you want to continue to ask questions?"

Alice looked at the prosecution bench.

Ren Qianning subconsciously looked at Qi Zhengtian, who shook his head slightly.

"No need, defense lawyer is yours to do whatever you want."

Since Qi Zhengtian didn't say anything, Ren Qianning naturally wouldn't have an opinion.

At the end of the day, she didn't understand what Alice was asking for.

Seeing this, Alice naturally continued to ask questions.

"That, I'm sorry just now, I asked everyone too much about eating poached eggs."

Are you embarrassed to say?

The jury rolled their eyes.

"So, do you have a different opinion about eating poached eggs, such as no soy sauce or chili sauce?"

Again?

Good guys, it's over, isn't it?

The jury was speechless.

Does this pre-trial have to have anything to do with poached eggs?

Just when everyone was complaining in their hearts, they saw a young man wearing glasses and cautiously raised his hand.

"Well, I have a different opinion, I like boiled eggs, I don't like fried poached eggs very much......"

This young man looked like twenty-six or seven, wearing a pair of thick black-rimmed glasses, and although he entered the workplace, he still had a trace of childishness.

Alice glanced at the notebook and noticed that the young man was a little different from what her goal required.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Then everyone likes poached eggs, do you only like boiled eggs?" ”

"Yes." The young man nodded in reply.

"If the elders in your family make a dinner today, and there are no boiled eggs for dinner, only poached eggs, and your family eats them, will you also take a bite?"

"This ......"

The young man was surprised for a moment, but then immediately shook his head: "I don't eat fried eggs, I support boiled eggs!" ”

Looking at this person's determined gaze, Alice subconsciously looked back at Zhang Yi, and saw the latter nodding, with some strange light flashing in his eyes.

This is not only a juror, but also an intending juror to focus on!

"Judge Chen, we accept this juror!"

Alice hurriedly recorded in her notebook, this No. 16 juror, Zhang Yi said that if you want to pay attention to it, then mark it down.

At this point, the jury is screened!

"Good, the jury is in place!"

Finally, Chen Rushan knocked down the gavel and said the longest sentence since the trial.

"Lunch break!"

Two more words, he waved his hand, and the court was dissolved on the spot.

The morning pre-trial is over, followed by a lunch break, and the first formal hearing begins at 1 p.m.

Today's pre-trial and trial will start in one day, but this is also a normal thing, after all, the big court is very busy, and the schedule will be relatively tight.

"Let's go after eating~"

Therefore, as soon as Chen Rushan left the scene, everyone in the court got up one after another.

It is a pity that although the municipal court is large, the canteen inside the courtroom does not provide food for the hearing seats.

Only juries and court staff, among others, are entitled to food allowance in the cafeteria.

Alice and the others, naturally, began to nibble on takeout in the defense lounge prepared by the court.

"Why don't you have poached eggs in this takeaway?"

Suddenly, Zhang Yi looked at the grilled sausages in the lunch box and looked dissatisfied.

Poached egg?

Can you not mention poached eggs?

Alice had a headache when she heard the words "poached eggs".

Really, she swears, she never wants to eat poached eggs in her life.

"There are no poached eggs, play with us?" Sun Dasheng on the side also shouted, looking at the lunch box with a look of disgust.

"yes, why don't you have poached eggs?" Zhu Tianpeng also immediately agreed.

"By the way, how do you like to eat poached eggs?" Wang Momo blinked her eyes with a curious expression.

"Of course it's braised eggs, braised poached eggs are sweet~" Sun Dasheng immediately spoke.

"What the hell is braised eggs, aren't they all fried and eaten directly?" Zhu Tianpeng immediately retorted.

"Braised good!"

"Fry it directly!"

"It seems that you are not convinced?"

"Serve your big head!"

"Take it, Lushan Hundred Dragons!"

"My Pegasus Comet Fist isn't afraid of you!"

didn't look at the noisy two, but Alice came to Zhang Yi's side at this moment.

"Anyway, why do you have to carry poached eggs?"

"This is not my routine, it is Zhang San's."

Zhang Yi also knew that Alice would definitely have doubts, so while eating, he explained:

"Poached eggs are not really the point, just to screen out people with strong or weak personalities, you see the jurors you eliminated, do they have enough patience when answering your questions?"

In Alice's mind, images of the jurors answering questions suddenly appeared.

"Get rough, Lao Tzu doesn't eat any poached eggs!"

"Poached eggs, what does it matter to you that I eat poached eggs!"

"Eat your tm's poached eggs, my mother has high cholesterol!"

Well, it is true that those who are eliminated have quite strong personalities and arrogant attitudes.

Zhang Yi then explained: "Mr. Luo is actually right, third-rate lawyers will ask questions based on background information, second-rate lawyers will ask some purposeful questions, and first-class lawyers will hide their purpose when asking questions to confuse their opponents. ”

"So you ask about poached eggs?" Alice also blinked, looking curious.

"Of course, after all, who can doubt the ordinary poached eggs, this is actually to screen the jurors we need."

"So, what about the 16th?"

Alice thought of the young man with the glasses again.

"Didn't you notice that even though everyone likes to eat poached eggs, he is the only one who likes to eat boiled eggs?"

"Is it, and then pinched?"

"So I've asked you to ask more questions, but even if everyone in the family eats poached eggs, he is the only one who insists on eating boiled eggs, and that's enough."

Zhang Yi knew that Alice's little brain might not be able to figure it out, so he explained: "What we need is someone like No. 16 who insists on his own opinions!" ”

"If you think about it, the whole court finds your client guilty, and then we need someone who can disagree with the majority, don't you say?"

"Then you can guarantee that this 16th doesn't like to maintain the same opinion as most people?"

"Of course, you really think that everyone likes to eat poached eggs, but why is it that only one person on the 16th raises his hand and says that he doesn't eat it, but the others don't?"

"This ......"

Alice felt that what Zhang Yi said seemed to have some truth, but she couldn't say it.

Her internship experience and court experience could not allow her to judge whether this matter was true, but she chose to believe Zhang Yi

Because this is all Zhang Yi's experience, or this is the experience of "Zhang San".

With the level of a rookie like Alice, how could it be understood.

……

At the same time.

The canteen inside the Municipal Courthouse.

The 12 jurors who have been selected are eating in the cafeteria at the moment.

Since you are asked to appear in court as a juror, the court will definitely take care of your food.

However, in order to avoid contact between the jury and the others, even if they eat in the cafeteria, they are in a dedicated room, and there is a court guard guarding the door.

"What's the matter, give me poached eggs?"

Suddenly, a man pointed to the poached eggs on the plate, looking unhappy.

Hearing the word "poached egg", the other 11 people also subconsciously shook it.

"What's wrong, what's wrong with poached eggs, isn't that good?" The other jury was no surprise.

"I don't like poached eggs." The man hurriedly explained.

"Then why didn't you just say that?"

"I'm too lazy to say, why did you answer this kind of question?"

Seeing this person's response, No. 16, who was sitting opposite him, was clear.

There are still people who don't like to eat poached eggs, but they don't answer questions.

Fortunately, when he was cooking before, he talked to the court guard and asked them to prepare a boiled egg for himself.

But then again, is there anything wrong with this poached egg and the case?

No. 16 always felt as if he was being focused on by the beautiful lawyer of the defense, but he couldn't say why?

And the same curious idea is the prosecution duo who are eating in the next room.

Qi Zhengtian and Ren Qianning, as prosecutors, can also come to the city court canteen to eat.

At this moment, they are sitting facing each other, also discussing poached eggs...... Oh, no, it's a matter of the trial.

"Director, what the hell is a poached egg?"

"Xiao Ren, can you not mention the poached eggs, just now the aunt was going to give me poached eggs, and I didn't even order them."

Qi Zhengtian said, glanced at the dinner plate in front of him, and cleaned the juice that leaked out of the plate with a paper towel, and then picked up the chopsticks with satisfaction.

Ren Qianning on the other side was still a little unhappy, because she couldn't understand Alice's routine at all.

Seeing this, Qi Zhengtian hurriedly comforted: "Xiao Ren, don't worry too much, it's an ordinary problem, it's that you think too much." ”

"Hopefully......"

"Don't worry, your opponent is also a newcomer, and the advantage of this case is yours!"

"The director was right, I was almost going to be poached by that egg...... That question was bluffed, ignoring the fact that Alice was a newcomer, and maybe that question was a coincidence. ”

Ren Qianning said and began to send food to her mouth.

Anyway, the director said that the advantage of this case is our prosecution, and the opponent is a rookie, what are you afraid of?

She won the case!

It's useless for the king of heaven to come, Director Qi said!
