"May I ask the witness, did you win money against the landlord that day?"

In front of the whole court, Alice's first question once again stunned everyone.

Hey, hey, hey!

Please see if it's okay!

This is not a place to talk about home, this is a serious criminal court!

Although you are a court rookie, you are a delicate girl, but this is not a reason for you to be presumptuous in the court.

Alice's question made many people stunned, but it also made some serious people subconsciously feel unhappy.

And some of these people have the right to oppose it......

"Against!"

Ren Qianning slapped the table directly and stood up.

"Judge Chen, what does the defense lawyer's question mean, this is a serious criminal court, he actually witnesses whether he wins the landlord or not?"

After complaining, Ren Qianning spread her hands and was speechless.

Square peg!

That's a very inappropriate question!

But this step, someone also expected.

"Judge Chen, I just want to help the witness recall the details of the day of the crime through some simple questions, I don't think this question is inappropriate, right?"

Alice said, and blinked her bright eyes, looking cute and cute.

"Well, that's right."

Chen Rushan nodded, but then glanced at Ren Qianning: "Objection is invalid!" ”

This......

Ren Qianning said, I have a sentence that MMP doesn't know whether to talk about it or not?

With Chen Rushan's instructions, Alice came to the witness stand again, and smiled: "Witness, you can answer my question." ”

"Uh, I didn't win much that day......"

"How much did you win?"

Alice continued to ask, and explained, "Well, I'm not from the Dragon Kingdom, so I don't understand some of the modifiers. ”

"For example, how fast is it, how long is it to arrive immediately, and it will take about a few minutes to leave after drinking this glass, can you please tell me a specific number?"

Seeing that Alice was going to ask to the end, the witness could only reluctantly confess: "It's not much money, it's just more than 500." ”

"More than 500, oh my God!"

But when Alice heard this number, she immediately covered her mouth and exclaimed.

"In just a moment, you won more than 500 fast?"

"I had a good luck that day......"

The witness scratched his head and glanced at his colleagues at the hearing table, but the faces of those people were a little unpleasant.

Because they play cards together, someone wins, and then someone loses.

The witness won more than 500, and the remaining three people each lost close to 200 fast, and everyone lost a lot when it was flat.

"You must have had good luck that day, huh?"

"Sort of......

"How can it be said that it is, after winning so much money, the luck must be good~"

Alice's eyes were shining with stars at the moment, and her face was adoring.

Although it is praised by a cute girl, it will be very happy to be a man, but it also depends on the occasion.

It's a courtroom here, I'm still sitting on the witness stand, and you're worshipping me for a fart.

Although the witnesses were a little proud on their faces, they were more respectful and fearful of the witness stand and the courtroom.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Alice hurriedly picked up the notebook again and flipped to the next page.

"So, witness, I would like to ask, did you lie after you sat on the witness stand?"

"Huh?"

Alice's abrupt reversal of the question caught the witnesses a little off guard.

Am I lying?

That's definitely not the case, who would dare to lie in court.

"No, no, how could I lie!" The witness quickly shook his head and denied lying.

"Yes, but I have some doubts about the details?"

Alice's head tilted slightly, and her little face was full of curiosity: "For example, what you said just now is that you heard a scream from the deceased Tan, and then rushed into the kitchen with three colleagues, right?" ”

"yes." The witness nodded, that's what he said.

"But, isn't Tan's neck cut off, how can he let out such a loud scream?"

Alice pretended to exaggerate and said: "Think about it, you are all fighting the landlord outside, or bringing money, you must be paying attention to the landlord, so the ordinary small voice must not be able to attract your attention, right?" ”

"To attract the four of you from the table, it must be loud and loud, but how can such a sound come from the mouth of a man with a severed neck?"

Alice tilted her head and looked at the jury with a puzzled expression: "Although I am not a medical student, I know that once the vocal cords and larynx of the human body are damaged, let alone shouting, I can't even speak." ”

"Jurors, please imagine that the deceased Tan was cut by someone with a knife, how can he rely on shouting to call the four people who are concentrating on fighting the landlord into the kitchen when his throat is injured?"

This explanation made many people in the jury look at each other, and then their eyes flashed with thought.

The same is true at the hearing bench.

"So, it seems like that's the case." Luo Xiaoxiang also thought about it.

The throat of the deceased Tan was cut and the blood was not stopping, he definitely wanted to scream, but unfortunately his throat was damaged and he couldn't even speak.

In this case, how can the four people in the hall outside be heard by "one shout"?

So...... The answer is that the witness lied?

In an instant, many people thought of this.

Therefore, countless scrutinizing eyes were projected on the witnesses.

"Witness, didn't you hear your boss's screams at all?"

Alice suddenly approached the witness, and her tone became questioning.

"This ......"

The witness panicked at the moment, he did hear a scream, but this scream was not from the boss, but from the ......

He raised his head and looked at Zhou Ping'an.

Zhou Ping'an screamed and expressed panic, what does that mean?

It shows that he is not a murderer!

But he is not a murderer, so who is the murderer?

Therefore, it is more appropriate to say that the screams came from the deceased Tan.

"Witness, you know perjury, if you lie in court, you will go to jail!"

Hearing Alice's words, the witness was completely panicked.

"That day, I did hear a scream, and after rushing into the kitchen, I saw Boss Tan lying on the ground, and there was blood all over the kitchen, so I thought it was Boss Tan's shout, and I ......"

"You just decided that it was a preconceived assumption, but the kitchen was blocked by a sliding door, and the four of you were in the living room, and it was impossible to see everything that happened in the kitchen, what evidence did you rely on to determine that the murderer was my client?"

"Me, I see that the kitchen is so big, if it weren't for Zhou Ping'an, could it be that the boss committed suicide?"

As soon as these words came out, many people in the courtroom looked at each other.

Is there really a possibility that the deceased Tan committed suicide?

But no, if you want to commit suicide, shouldn't you quietly find a place where no one is around, and then die quietly?

You are on the second floor of the hot pot restaurant, and you invited 5 employees of the restaurant to have dinner together, why did you suddenly lose your mind and commit suicide, is it possible?

No, no!

Tan should not have planned it in advance, if he really wanted to commit suicide, he would never invite employees to dinner on the second floor.

"Witness, all this is your speculation, and you yourself don't know the truth, but because of your testimony, if you want to put an innocent person in prison, won't your conscience hurt?"

Alice looked at the jury and raised her hand to the witnesses.

This accusation also made the jury think, could this witness really lie.

Seeing that the effect was achieved, Alice hurriedly bowed to the judgment seat: "Judge Chen, our cross-examination is over." ”

The cross-examination just now, her purpose has been accomplished~

The validity of this first witness's testimony has been greatly reduced, at least Alice thinks it is sufficient.

And she walked back to the defense bench, her legs suddenly weakened, and the whole person almost collapsed in her position.

The cross-examination is finally over, so panicked, so panicked, my legs are shaking......

She said that this was the smoothest court argument and the smoothest cross-examination she had conducted so far.

Not only did it severely undermine the validity of the witnesses' testimony, but it also created a doubt as to whether the deceased committed suicide.

It's a good thing for the defense, but it's not necessarily for the prosecution.

"Can Alice do this?"

Ren Qianning looked at the defense bench and suddenly became a little anxious.

Because according to the current situation, the jury of 12 people may not all support themselves.

At least the No. 16, the other party's eyes seemed to say, there is really something wrong with this case, I know that there is a ghost here!

Therefore, Ren Qianning glanced at Qi Zhengtian's direction, and the latter nodded subconsciously.

"Judge Chen, we would like to ask additional questions to the witnesses."

"Hmm!"

After that, Ren Qianning came to the witness again.

"May I ask the witness, what kind of person is the defendant Zhou Ping'an?"

"Zhou Ping'an, he has always been the best employee in our store, don't look at his age younger than me, but he is an old senior, and Boss Tan has always praised him."

"So, Zhou Ping'an is an excellent employee?"

"Let's just say it's just ......"

Ren Qianning's eyes lit up slightly, "Just what?" ”

"It's just occasionally, Zhou Ping'an ......"

The witness looked at Zhou Ping'an in the defendant's seat, and then at the other three employees in the hearing seat, and after hesitating for a moment, he said: "It's just that Zhou Ping'an sometimes behaves very impatiently!" ”

As soon as these words came out, many people looked at the witness stand.

"Oh, that's a routine!"

Luo Xiaoxiang, who was on the hearing seat, was slightly startled when he heard this.

"Teacher Luo, what kind of routine is this?"

Behind him, there were immediately puzzled students who spoke and asked questions.

"Well, this is the new routine that came out of the previous routine that didn't work."

Teacher Luo smiled slightly and explained: "The last routine was to make everyone think that Tan was a good person, but Xiao Du pointed out some suspicious points in the witness's testimony, which greatly reduced the jury's credibility of the witness. ”

"The prosecution knows that once the testimony of witnesses loses trust, then the testimony of the deceased will be weakened, so they simply let the witnesses attack the defendant's character, which is also called throwing dirty water on the defendant."

The students looked at each other, is this okay?

"Of course, in court, it is either the defendant or the deceased, and the prosecution witnesses testify in court, and only need to prove two things, the deceased is miserable and the defendant is bad."

"And the same is true for defense witnesses, they only need to prove that the defendant is not bad, or that there is another real murderer, it's as simple and straightforward as that."

Teacher Luo said, the smile on his face narrowed slightly: "But I have to say that Xiao Du's performance today is very good, and she actually made the prosecution have to use a second trick." ”

Luo Xiaoxiang naturally didn't know that Alice's trial skills had improved by leaps and bounds because of someone's tutoring.

Not only that, but someone had already expected this second trick used by the prosecution.

Zhou Ping'an's performance in the store is good and bad, after all, people are not sages, who can be without fault?

Since you added impression points to the jury for the deceased Tan, you will inevitably deduct impression points from the defendant Zhou Ping'an and smear him in front of the jury.

So in response to these problems, someone has thought about countermeasures.

Alice also began to look at the back pages of the handwriting, which was the response to this trick.

In court, questioning of witnesses continued.

"Zhou Ping'an, although he shows a conscientious appearance for the store, but sometimes he is actually very irritable, and there are employees in the store who are doing something bad, he may be about to yell up, again, I remember ......"

This is a common tactic for attacking people, first stating what is wrong with you, and then telling a short story to give an example to reinforce the jury's impression.

When the story was finished, the jury really nodded, and their impression of Zhou Ping'an was greatly reduced.

In the little story just now, they could tell that Zhou Ping'an was a very impatient person, and his temper was sometimes very irritable.

Can such a person really kill someone?

Obviously, it's possible!

"End of our additional question."

Ren Qianning was very satisfied with the witness's answer, the purpose had been achieved, and she naturally ended the additional question.

"The defense also requested additional questions."

Although her legs and stomach were trembling, Alice knew that she couldn't help it.

And with the "combat policy" in her hand, she has confidence in her heart, so she naturally won't panic.

Alice walked up to the witness again, and her face tensed, so that the witness was stunned.

"Witness, you said that my client has a violent personality, is that true?"

"Yes." The witness nodded subconsciously.

"Excuse me, did he show irritability, or even impatience, when you made mistakes?"

"Like...... Yes, right. ”

The witness recalled and added: "Everyone is an employee, you said that you Zhou Ping'an, why scold us, everyone works for Boss Tan, but he seems to be the boss!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Ping'an, who was sitting in the defendant's seat, flashed a gloom in his eyes.

Between the eyebrows, there was even a hint of evil spirit, but it quickly converged.

This scene was almost fleeting, and almost no one in the audience observed it.

However, Zhou Ping'an's hands unconsciously clenched his fists, which shows that his reaction to these words is actually very strong.

And in the face of the slander of witnesses, Alice's response is also very simple.

"So, can you say that my client will lose his temper with you for the sake of the service quality of the hot pot restaurant, isn't he a good employee?"

"Huh?"

The witness was confused.

Many people in the audience are also like this, how can this become a good employee?

"Witness, let me ask you, has my client ever lost his temper with you?"

"Yes."

"And the reason why he lost his temper is because you made mistakes, such as taking the wrong seasoning, delivering the wrong dish, or even adding the wrong soup, the plate is not clean, etc.?"

"When you say that, it seems like ......"

"That's it, why did my party lose his temper, isn't it all for the customers in the store."

Alice looked at the jury again and said with a smile: "From the words of the witnesses, you may think that my client is a person with a bad temper, but in fact, I heard another meaning, my client is more considerate of the guest than anyone else. ”

"I'll just ask, should the employee be scolded for making a mistake, you went to eat hot pot happily, but you ordered a non-spicy pot bottom, and people gave you a super spicy pot, are you happy eating?"

"At this time, the employees come out to apologize to you, you must forgive them, right, if you don't forgive, you are deliberately finding fault, is this considered a moral kidnapping? But are you comfortable in your hearts, at this time, an old employee stood up and reprimanded the employee who made a mistake, isn't this a matter of course, otherwise how can they remember it for a long time? ”

These words actually made some sense, and many people on the jury nodded again and again.

"Therefore, the so-called testimony of the witness, although in your ears, you think that my client Zhou Ping'an is a short-tempered person, but on my side, I think he is a good employee who is dedicated to the store."

After summing up again, Alice smiled at the witness: "Thank you for the witness's answer, and our additional questions are over." ”

"This ......"

The witness looked at Alice, who had returned to the defense bench as if she had triumphed, and he was in a groove in his heart.

I really just want to say that Zhou Ping'an is a person with a bad temper, how did he become a good and conscientious employee when it came to your mouth?

Is there a problem with your ears, which can be associated with dedication?

Unfortunately, the prosecution did not intend to ask additional questions, so he had to leave the table.

And many people in the jury and the hearing bench fell into thought after hearing Alice's speech.

"How could it be ......?"

Ren Qianning never expected that her additional questions would be used by Alice.

"Good guy, this move is a move that anticipates the enemy and confuses the public, it's okay!"

Teacher Luo couldn't help but give Alice a thumbs up.

But he muttered in his heart, is this little girl in the court really Xiao Du's classmate?

If you cover your face and just listen to the operations just now, you will almost have the level of a barrister, right?

Qi Zhengtian on the side also felt the same way.

The testimony of our witnesses was used by the other party, which is not a means that ordinary lawyers can have.

When did that little girl named Alice have such an ability to adapt to change?

Is this really just the level of a little girl who hasn't graduated from law school yet?

Could it be that there is someone behind her?
