At the moment, in court.

The defendant, Zhou Ping'an, was summoned by the prosecution as a witness.

To everyone's surprise, the defense did not object, and directly agreed to Zhou Ping'an to testify in court.

Alice actually thought about opposing it at first, but Zhang Yi had warned her before not to object.

Why?

In fact, it is very simple, let the prosecution summon the defendant, then the prosecution will inevitably be the first to ask questions.

Of course, he knew that the prosecution would be firing on all cylinders, even asking extreme questions.

But so what, when you're done with the prosecution, we'll have another chance to remedy cross-examination.

Therefore, the prosecution wants to ask questions, and when it is the turn of the defense to speak, there is actually room for salvation.

This is better than the defense being the first to prove itself, and then being caught off guard by the prosecution's sudden killer move.

The trial, to put it bluntly, is a competition for the on-the-spot adaptability of both parties.

Whoever can turn passivity into initiative, disadvantage into advantage, and problem into opportunity in court defense will win the trial.

Of course, being able to understand these things and have the ability to adapt on the spot is what a master needs to have.

Ren Qianning and Alice are far from reaching such a level, they will only ask questions step by step according to the questions prepared in advance, and they have thought of formulas and routines.

To put it bluntly, two rookies pecked each other, can you see any exciting and fierce confrontations?

Don't be funny, don't do it!

In court.

Ren Qianning is really full of firepower at the moment!

"Zhou Ping'an, you said that you entered the kitchen that day, except for you, there was only one person in the kitchen, who else could you kill if you didn't kill it?"

"I don't know, I really don't know."

"On the murder weapon, there are also your fingerprints, you dare to say that you are not a murderer?"

"That knife is used to process ingredients, I was cutting meat at the time, there must be my fingerprints......"

"Cut the meat, right, and cut Tan's neck too?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, I really don't know......"

"You said you went to the toilet halfway, why didn't anyone outside notice it?"

"They are all fighting landlords, their minds are all on the playing cards, and they can't see ...... even if I walk out the door."

"Yes, is there a possibility that you didn't go to the toilet at all, it's just an excuse for you to want to clear your own mind!"

"I'm not, I don't, I really don't!"

Ren Qianning stared at Zhou Ping'an, trying to find a flaw in the other party's panicked face.

But Zhou Ping'an covered his face with both hands, lowered his head with pain on his face, and did not give Ren Qianning any chance to see his micro-expressions clearly.

on the hearing bench.

Teacher Luo watched it for a long time, and finally couldn't hold it back.

"Students, have you seen that set of combination punches from the prosecution just now?"

"See, what a sharp question."

Some students immediately responded and nodded to each other with their peers.

They all saw this set of combination punches, and it was very sharp.

"Generally speaking, this is the norm in the trial, the prosecution is firing on all cylinders this time, gradually breaking through the defendant's psychological defense line with continuous questions, and once the psychological defense line is broken, then the defense will fall into absolute passivity."

Teacher Luo said, but his eyes looked at Zhou Ping'an, with a look of surprise: "I don't know how this defendant's psychological quality is, but I see that he has lowered his head and cried for so long, but he can still stay organized when answering questions, which is not simple." ”

The students all looked at each other, obviously not knowing the doorway here.

And Qi Zhengtian next door also agreed with Luo Xiaoxiang's words.

Ren Qianning was already in full swing, and the question just now, if it was an ordinary defendant, or a defendant who had killed someone, had already exploded because of fear.

But Zhou Ping'an didn't have anything to do, every time Ren Qianning asked a question, he could use the clues given by the defense in the previous court defense to counteract, which was not simple.

In general, there are only two possibilities in this case.

First, Zhou Ping'an is really innocent, so he knows that he has not killed anyone, and his mentality can naturally be stabilized.

Second, Zhou Ping'an did kill Tan, but he has a very strong psychological quality, even in the face of repeated inquiries from the prosecution, he can still deal with it without being surprised.

If it's the second, it's a little scary.

Qi Zhengtian's eyes were much more solemn, and he also stared at Zhou Ping'an, trying to see something.

It's a pity that Zhou Ping'an lowered his head at the moment, and he couldn't see any changes in his expression, and the panic in the other party's tone didn't seem to be pretending.

There are too few clues to see Zhou Ping'an's psychological changes at the moment.

Qi Zhengtian had no choice but to withdraw his gaze, and then Zi continued to turn his head and look at the maid Tracy on the side.

There is no way, the people in this court are too dirty, and only the one next to him can make him look much more pleasing to the eye.

Tracy: ???

Next door.

"Wow, I'm going to get dizzy with so many questions."

Wang Momo's eyes turned into mosquito coils, and her fat little face was full of confusion.

"Don't worry, that's all the prosecution is doing."

Zhang Yi is very calm, and the old god is on top.

"Really, but no matter how I look at it, I think the prosecution is full fire?"

"Xiao Wang, Cheng Yanjin knows, right?"

"You know, every time I play Cheng Biting Gold, I am the king of injury resistance, just stand in a group and be beaten."

"Uh......"

Zhang Yi wanted to complain, he didn't play that mobile game, and he didn't understand the stalk of the famous knife.

"I want to say that Cheng Biting Jin will have three axes, and now Ren Qianning is the same as Cheng Biting Jin, and when these three axes pass, she will have no moves."

"No, how do you know that people only have three-plate axes?" Momo shook her head, half-understood.

Zhang Yi smiled slightly and did not explain.

He can't say it, because people are rookies like our boss.

How can the rookie have any follow-up tricks, and the three-plate axe will be out of line in the past.

Zhang Yi said, let's just watch and wait and see.

In court.

"Zhou Ping'an, you have been with Boss Tan for 10 years, that is a full 10 years, have you ever thought that he also has a wife and children, but you are ......"

"I don't know, I really don't know!"

Zhou Ping'an's face was full of pain at the moment, and he even looked at Alice as if asking for help.

But what made Zhou Ping'an stunned was that Alice didn't seem to see his pain, and her eyes even glanced at the hearing bench and the jury seat, but she didn't look at the witness stand where he was.

Hey, hey, hey!

You're my defense lawyer, what's the matter with you, why don't you look at me and see that I'm now forced by the prosecution to turn to you for help?

Alice still stared at the other place, not glancing at Zhou Ping'an.

Even for Ren Qianning's moves, she hummed a little song in her heart, and just coped with the past.

Needless to say, all of this is also Zhang Yi's instructions.

Because Zhang Yi knew that as long as Zhou Ping'an bit him to death and didn't know anything, everything would be over.

Ren Qianning actually had no other evidence except for the fingerprints on the murder weapon.

If Zhou Ping'an really murdered the boss, she couldn't even confirm the motive.

How can such a question resonate with the jury?

On the contrary, after the prosecution asked questions continuously, Zhou Ping'an, who looked pained, could make the jury sympathetic even more.

This is also Zhang Yi's purpose.

The prosecution summoned Zhou Ping'an, and then continued to ask questions, but Alice deliberately did not interfere.

All the jury could see was an aggressive prosecutor and a helpless defendant.

As long as Alice doesn't interject, then the jury naturally can't see her.

And when the jury focuses on the witness stand, on the two people who ask and answer questions, then the prosecutor who represents the strong will arouse the disgust of some juries.

At least the No. 16 looked at Ren Qianning's gaze at the moment, and he was a little unfriendly.

And in the other juries, there are also a few people who are very dissatisfied with the prosecution's questioning attitude, feeling that you have eaten gunpowder, so you can't be polite?

Among the remaining people, some people also had some sympathy for Zhou Ping'an.

In short, Alice did not speak, but gradually began to dominate the trial.

This has to be said that Ren Qianning and Qi Zhengtian did not expect it.

Why didn't the atmosphere of this courtroom change as they expected, but instead blew a reverse wind.

After a long time.

"Zhou Ping'an, you ......"

"Prosecutor, I really don't know anything, when I walked out of the toilet, I saw that the boss was dead, I, I, I ......"

Zhou Ping'an's tone was excited, and he shook his head helplessly, saying that he really didn't know.

Ren Qianning had to walk back to the prosecution seat, took a sip of the water cup, and was about to return again.

However, she was stunned when she walked to the ground, because her three-plate axe had run out.

Finished!

What's next?

There's no trick!

Ren Qianning was stunned, and his footsteps stopped.

"Sister Ren, are you done asking?"

And Alice appeared just right.

"This ......"

"Oh, looks like you're done asking."

Alice smiled, you prosecution finally ran out of tricks, then the next time for my defense to play.

Still, she had to ask the judge for permission.

"Judge Chen, is the prosecution going to end its statement?"

When Chen Rushan heard this, he immediately looked at Ren Qianning, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

If you're done, you'll give up your seat!

Ren Qianning was helpless, but she really didn't break through Zhou Ping'an's psychological defense, she really had no choice.

"Prosecution, prosecution, prosecution end ......"

Obviously, her tone was still a little reluctant and unwilling.

Alice got up, squeezed out of Ren Qianning's position, and walked to the witness stand.

Ren Qianning could only reluctantly return to her seat, looking indignant.

"Zhou Ping'an, hello."

"Hello, lawyer."

Seeing Alice appear, the pain on Zhou Ping'an's face began to slowly disappear, and his face gradually returned to normal.

But there's going to be a process, take your time.

Alice didn't have the face to ask questions, but waited for Zhou Ping'an's mood to improve a bit, and then began to organize the language.

"Zhou Ping'an, according to what I pointed out, the only evidence that the prosecution can prove that you are the murderer is the fingerprints on the knife, right?"

"Yes, fingerprints."

Zhou Ping'an nodded, and then hurriedly explained: "But that fingerprint was left by me when I was cutting meat, and there must be my fingerprint on the knife." ”

"That's weird, why is there only your fingerprint pinched on the knife, if someone else is really the murderer, why didn't you leave fingerprints?"

Alice looked strange, but then, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly laughed: "Unless, that person was wearing gloves on his hands when he broke in!" ”

As soon as these words came out, many people in the court rolled their eyes.

You're not talking nonsense, you will naturally have no fingerprints when you wear gloves, but who broke in, do you have evidence?

"The cleaners of our law firm have been tested before, and everyone can turn over to the second floor and break in through an open window, so I think that day, anyone can wear gloves and sneak attack the deceased Tan."

At this point, the jury and the hearing bench also watched the previous video.

If someone really wants to engage Tan, they can sneak attack if they have this skill.

But who could it be, is it really a loan shark?

"You went out to the toilet that day, and the four people outside the door didn't see you, is it because they have been fighting the landlord?"

"Yes."

Seeing Zhou Ping'an nodding, Alice added: "As we all know, gambling is harmful, because it will make people sink into it unconsciously, so that in the eyes of gamblers, only the chips on the gambling table are left. ”

"I think there is no problem with what my client said, the four people outside are all thinking about the gambling table, and it may be about 100 yuan per minute, and their daily salary is about the same amount, so how can they care about other things at this time."

"At this time, don't say that my client walked out of the door to go to the toilet, even if someone sneaked up from the fire staircase and stabbed Tan to death, they probably wouldn't be able to hear it."

Alice's explanation also made many members of the jury nod.

Even if they haven't gambled, they have played mahjong and poker.

It was a time when the excitement came and all the attention was on the table.

Unless the wife comes over with a feather duster and denies that no one can stop them.

The jury also understood, and many even had a deep understanding.

"So, if my client really didn't murder Tan, and someone really climbed up the fire stairs to kill Tan, is this also very possible?"

Once this theory is proposed, it is indeed reverie.

Many members of the jury looked pensive.

And when Alice saw this scene, the corners of her mouth were filled with smiles.

That's what I want.

As long as we raise reasonable doubts, then we can use the doubts to deal with the doubts, regardless of what the other party says.

Unless the prosecution can find strong rebuttal evidence, they can continue to emphasize the issue of reasonable doubt.

"Zhou Ping'an, did you hear any movement when you went to the toilet?"

"I, I didn't hear ......"

"That is to say, when Tan was killed, someone covered his mouth and nose, so he couldn't make a sound, which obviously matched the situation at the time."

Alice added again: "The four people outside the door, all their attention is on the table, and they must not hear anything." The real murderer sneaked into the kitchen and attacked Tan Mou, who was concentrating on cooking from behind, and then covered his mouth so that he didn't make a sound, and finally cut his throat with the knife at hand, seeing that he couldn't make a sound, and finally bled to death! ”

Alice said, her little face was full of seriousness: "So, my client was wronged, he just became the substitute for the real murderer, and took the blame for the real murderer!" ”

Again, the defense's goal was achieved.

"End of my question."

Alice finished her question and returned to the defense bench.

Although her heart was beating wildly, Alice felt that she had an advantage, and that she could build on it.

"Judge Chen, I would like to ask additional questions."

But Ren Qianning suddenly seemed to have found the hole cards, the resentment on his face disappeared, and he stood up confidently.

"Yes!" Chen Rushan was curious, and he also wanted to know where Ren Qianning's confidence came from.

"We're going to play a video!"

Ren Qianning said, walking in front of Zhou Ping'an, "Zhou Ping'an, it's not the first time you want to kill someone!" ”

"I, I don't understand what you're talking about......"

"Really?"

After Ren Qianning asked this question, she inserted a USB flash drive into her laptop, then linked the projection device and started playing.

A surveillance video appeared on the projection screen.

"Waiter, waiter, what kind of stuff are you guys doing here, you have rat, lose money, lose money to me!"

"This guest, the ingredients in our store are absolutely fresh, and the kitchen is cleaned and disinfected every day, there can be no mice!"

"I don't care, this is rat, your ingredients are not fresh, lose money, lose money to me!"

In the picture, several angry men are pointing to a pot of vegetables in front of them and are shouting wildly.

And it was Zhou Ping'an who was responsible for receiving them.

Facing the shouting man, Zhou Ping'an seemed to be suppressing something, lowered his head and did not speak.

"Guests, several guests, I'm really sorry, I'll give you this meal for free."

At this time, a man walked over, it was the deceased Tan.

"Hmph, ** cub, have you seen it clearly, or your boss is sensible!"

The shouting man sneered and ridiculed Zhou Ping'an.

But this ridicule made Zhou Ping'an explode: "This rat was put in by you, it must have been put in by you!" ”

"What are you talking about, what did we put in, your kitchen itself is not clean, evil and disgusting!"

"Damn it, our kitchen is absolutely clean, I clean it every day, it's you guys who are disgusting!"

"What do you say, you still dare to do it, I will kill you......"

Then, the scene began to be chaotic, and Zhou Ping'an and the shouting man scuffled in the video.

The video was quickly paused, but it was enough.

After seeing this video, many people on the jury and the hearing table were all surprised.

Unexpectedly, this week, Ping An is such an impulsive person!

"I think everyone has seen it, this video can explain a lot of problems, once Zhou Ping'an falls into passivity, he can't help but explode, he will become very impulsive, and even shout to kill someone!"

Ren Qianning didn't elaborate, just clicked on the content in the video.

After finishing speaking, she didn't continue to ask Zhou Ping'an, not giving the other party a chance to refute.

"Alright, my additional questions are over."

With that, she sat back down and gave Alice another defiant look.

Unexpectedly, I prepared a follow-up move, and I just want to catch you off guard!
