Chapter 24: Countering the Routine and Summoning the Public Prosecutor?

"After pre-trial deliberation with Judge Chen and the prosecution, the defense summoned prosecutor Ren Qianning to testify in court!"

These were Alice's exact words in court.

Yes, as the defense, she directly called the prosecution as a witness.

Poof-

Luo Xiaoxiang, who was drinking water, sprayed directly without accident.

Fortunately, he sat in the first row, and there was no one in front of him, otherwise it would have ended badly.

However, at this moment, his heart was naturally shocked.

it!

it!

It's a big groove!

After shouting a few times in his heart, Mr. Luo finally relieved himself.

He glanced at the water glass in his hand and complained frantically in his heart.

I really just want to drink water, as for it?

Xiao Du, what are you doing, you don't need to use this kind of powerful speech every time to rectify me, right?

Are you targeting me or someone?

was also shocked, in addition to Cairo Xiaoxiang, there were other people in the audience who did not know.

This is also nonsense, Teacher Luo was shocked, and the others naturally did too.

"Teacher Luo, this, what kind of operation is this......"

Behind him, some classmates immediately couldn't help it and pulled the corners of Teacher Luo's clothes.

"This ......"

Teacher Luo shouted in his heart, don't ask me, I don't know.

In Luo Xiaoxiang's long career and teaching career, it is the first time to encounter such a situation.

Wrong...... Not for the first time!

He looked in Alice's direction, and a figure came to mind.

He seemed to know who Xiao Du's trick he learned from.

Ace barrister No.3, extrajudicial fanatic Zhang San!

It's him!

Xiao Du didn't ask his father, but learned the routine from this one!

Luo Xiaoxiang was almost about to look up to the sky and laugh, there were still people to learn Zhang San's routine!

This really surprised him......

Now, there's a good show to watch.

It's just that there are too many slaps in the face, and he is almost uncomfortable.

Thanks to yesterday, he also made a special post, speculating that in today's trial, the defense may need to be steady, see the move, and then wait for the opportunity to move, ready to win the support of the jury.

Unexpectedly, your classmate Xiao Du is not good at learning, go to learn Zhang San, that guy is famous for not playing cards according to routines!

Except for Mr. Cairo, everyone else in the audience has not recovered from the shock.

on the prosecution's bench.

Qi Zhengtian was also stunned.

At this moment, Alice's words were still echoing in his mind.

What's that?

Summoning the prosecution, summoning the prosecutor to testify?

Who would have thought of this routine as Nima, I have fought so many public prosecution cases, and I have never seen a defense lawyer who has the courage to summon a prosecutor.

Wait, it looks like there's one!

Could it be him!

Qi Zhengtian's eyes stared at Alice, as if he could see a familiar figure.

If it's really that person, how did this girl get involved with the other party?

And......

There is also a certain connection between that person and Xiao Ren......

Qi Zhengtian thought about it carefully, behind this case, there was really a big thing involved!

Knotty!

Except for these professionals, the rest of the audience, including the jury, was still in pure confusion.

What's going on?

Why did you summon the prosecutor up?

But it was useless for them to be confused, although Ren Qianning resisted, although reluctantly, she could only honestly walk on the witness stand.

There was no way, Chen Rushan agreed, it was useless for her to resist.

After sitting down on the witness stand, Ren Qianning finally realized what the mood of the summoned person was.

I was nervous, and I didn't know what kind of questions I would face next.

"Is this how the witness felt when he was summoned, and I never imagined that one day, I would encounter such a situation?"

Right in front of her, Alice walked over.

"Hello, Sister Ren."

"Hello, Lawyer Du."

The two exchanged hello, and Alice took a deep breath before asking questions.

"May I ask Sister Ren, you are the prosecutor in charge of this case, right?"

"Yes."

"For the case of Tan's murder, you should be the person who knows the most about the case except for Cadre Liu from the Investigation Section, right?"

"Yes."

"Out of work duties, once Cadre Liu gets any clues, no matter how important it is, he will inform the inspection department where you are located as soon as possible, isn't that so?"

"Yes."

"Well, I believe that Cadre Liu is an excellent senior operator, and his decades of work experience and habits will make him show an alternative curiosity, which is not only a driving force, but also a habit, and a kind of occupational disease."

Alice said this, walked up to the jury, and said: "I believe that after yesterday's trial, Cadre Liu, as an excellent officer of the investigation department, will not ignore the doubts raised by our side, because their task is to find out any reasonable doubts and find the truth of the case!" ”

At this point, many people nodded in agreement.

"Then, I have reason to suspect that Cadre Liu went to the anti-gang group last night, and even found the colleague who was in charge of the usury case at the time and asked some related questions!"

As soon as these words came out, Qi Zhengtian, who was sitting in the prosecution seat, had his pupils shrank slightly.

"I was actually guessed by the other party, no, this is not a guess, but they deliberately set up a trap!"

He looked at Alice and said badly.

"So, Sister Ren, I would like to ask, did Cadre Liu verify the reasonable suspicions raised by us last night?"

What is the reasonable doubt, it is naturally Tan's death, whether it was done by someone other than Zhou Ping'an.

And the initial object of suspicion is Zhou Ping'an's social relations, the line about the loan shark company!

The eyes of the audience were withdrawn from Alice and focused on Ren Qianning on the witness stand.

Ren Qianning didn't expect that Alice's first "killing move" would come so quickly!

"I ......"

"Sister Ren, do you need me to remind you that there is a witness bench under your ass."

Alice blinked playfully, but there was a hint of threat in her expression.

If you lie on the witness stand, you are guilty of perjury.

So think about how you need to answer this question, and if you say something wrong, don't blame the law for being ruthless!

As a prosecutor, Ren Qianning really knew about this matter, and she absolutely couldn't lie when she testified in court.

Perjury in court is a felony!

"I, we ...... yesterday He did receive a call from Cadre Liu, and he did ask his colleague about the information about the deceased Tan and loan sharks......"

After being uncomfortable at the beginning, Ren Qianning still chose to answer honestly.

"Okay, may I ask Sister Ren, did Tan borrow loan sharks three and a half months ago, or even longer?"

Ren Qian stared at Qi Zhengtian, who nodded slightly.

Like Alice said, you have the witness stand under your ass now, you can't lie.

"Yes."

Therefore, Ren Qianning chose to answer honestly.

"So the loan shark, have you contacted Tan many times?"

"Yes."

"Just before Tan's death, was he harassed many times by loan sharks?"

"Yes."

"In the video you released before, are those people who find fault in the good taste hot pot restaurant a loan shark?"

"This ......"

Ren Qianning was a little stunned, because he didn't know about it.

He only knew that the department investigated the monitoring at the same time, and found such a paragraph about Zhou Ping'an, but he didn't know that those people were actually here to deliberately find fault.

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

This is also the truth, Ren Qianning really doesn't know.

"I don't know?" Alice's eyes widened as if surprised.

"Sister Ren, as a prosecutor, don't you know the identity and background of those people in the video evidence you submitted?"

This time, Alice didn't say it to Ren Qianning, but to the jury.

However, these words also made Ren Qianning feel like she was on pins and needles, and her heart was very uncomfortable.

Oh, yes.

As a righteous prosecutor, she didn't even investigate clearly, so she took out video evidence to testify against Zhou Ping'an.

But if those people are all borrowing usury and come to find Tan's stubble, the purpose of these people is very sinister.

"Sister Ren, could it be that you, as a righteous prosecutor, only unilaterally believed the existing evidence, without the slightest doubt that my client was really wronged?"

Alice spoke again, and this time asked a question with a slight sharpness.

"This ......"

"It's okay, you don't have to answer, everyone already knows the result anyway."

Alice smiled slightly and said something that made Ren Qianning's heart very uncomfortable.

Oh, yes!

Everyone already knows.

What did you choose in the end as a prosecutor representing justice?

sued Zhou Ping'an, determined that he was the murderer, but ignored other suspicions.

Whether the murderer is someone else, you, as a prosecutor, have not considered it, and the Investigation Bureau has also not looked for clues in this regard.

Therefore, Zhou Ping'an is sitting here, and the person who may be the real murderer has been at large!

"Sister Ren, one last question, if you arrested the loan sharks three months ago, do you think the person sitting in the defendant's dock will become someone else?"

"This ......"

"Okay, this question is a bit difficult for strong people, after all, people have run away, if they are really murderers, it is equivalent to saying that because of your possible malfeasance, you let a murderer go!"

Alice finally let out a sigh of relief, and laughed again.

"Sister Ren, I'm done with my question, now you can cross-examine."

With that, she walked back to the defense bench with an excited face.

As for why he was excited, it was naturally because the trick of summoning the prosecutor could block the other party's back move!

"Prosecution, cross-examination......"

Chen Rushan subconsciously looked at Ren Qianning and reminded the other party that he could cross-interrogate, but the words stopped when he came to his lips.

it!

According to the normal process, the prosecution is going to cross-examine.

What about the controllable party?

She's sitting on the witness stand.

How can the prosecution conduct cross-examination at this time?

Judge yourself, ask yourself, ask yourself?

on the hearing bench.

"Good guys!"

Luo Xiaoxiang also saw it, he never expected that the horror of this move was not only to shock the audience, but also to block the prosecutor!

How can the prosecutor cross-examine himself as a witness?

Ask yourself questions?

Then you're great~

"Students, this routine of summoning the prosecutor, I advise you not to use it until you have to, this is an unconventional routine, please consider it!"

Teacher Luo didn't say anything to death, just a warning.

If you don't want to be remembered by the prosecutor, try not to use this trick.

Of course, if the prosecutor really has any information, and he is already at odds with you, and you are determined to give the prosecutor a little bitterness, and you are even planning to break the net, then I didn't say it.

However, this trick should be used with caution.

In short, it was seen that Alice summoned Ren Qianning as a witness.

Teacher Luo said, I can't understand it, and I was shocked!

In the end, Ren Qianning did not ask and answer herself, but stood up in a daze and returned to the prosecution seat to sit down.

Beside him, Qi Zhengtian stared at Alice for a long time, and after seeing Ren Qianning return, he also sighed.

"Xiao Ren, it's okay, it's all over."

Qi Zhengtian also didn't know how much pressure Ren Qianning had encountered.

After all, he has never been called as a witness, he has always been a prosecutor, and he has never sat on the witness stand.

Naturally, he didn't know what it was like to sit in that chair.

"The defense?"

Chen Rushan, as always, asked Alice concisely.

"We request that Operator Liu be re-summoned as a witness!"

"Why?"

Chen Rushan was a little curious, didn't Cadre Liu testify in court as a witness, why did he still need to come over?

"Because Sister Ren also said that Cadre Liu has discovered new clues, I think it is necessary to summon him back to the court to testify!"

"Well, approved!"

Chen Rushan thought about it and nodded.

And Cadre Liu, it only took 5 minutes to come to the courtroom.

Perhaps, he himself knows it.

Last night's investigation made me feel guilty and had to return to the courtroom.

"Hello, Operator Liu."

"Hello, lawyer."

Compared with yesterday's attitude during the day, Operator Liu seemed to be much friendlier to Alice at this moment.

"Cadre Liu, I summoned you back, I just want to ask you a question, I hope you can answer me seriously, is that okay?"

Cadre Liu was stunned for a moment, but still nodded: "Of course!" ”

"Okay, I want to ask, if yesterday, you still firmly believed that my client Zhou Ping'an was the murderer, then today, do you still think so?"

"I ......"

Lao Liu hesitated for a moment, glanced at the prosecution seat, he saw Qi Zhengtian with a serious face, and also saw Ren Qianning who bowed his head and was silent.

In the end, Lao Liu was helpless and shook his head: "If you asked me yesterday, I would definitely firmly believe that the defendant is the murderer, but today, I can't assert it like this!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar!

Even Lao Liu, the senior cadre in charge of the case, couldn't be sure that the real culprit was Zhou Ping'an, so no one else could.

"In fact, I knew this would be the case since I looked into the line of usury offered by the defense. However, as a criminal investigator, I must be responsible for my own work and duties, and at present, we have wanted loan sharks on suspicion of murder, and we can only track them down and interrogate them, and give the public justice! ”

"But, Cadre Liu, if you can't catch the prisoner, won't my client have no way to prove his innocence?"

"For this point, I can only say that he has not cleared his suspicions, and the possibility that he is also a murderer is not impossible!"

Cadre Liu looked at Zhou Ping'an, and the suspicion and suspicion in his eyes were a little weaker than a few days ago, but they still existed.

"So, Cadre Liu, as a senior investigator, can I ask you this, is there a possibility that my client has been slandered and used as a scapegoat?"

"This ......"

"Please answer me, Operator Liu, this question is crucial!"

Alice's little face was full of seriousness, as if she had raised her courage, and stared straight at Lao Liu.

At this moment, she wants to get justice for Zhou Ping'an!

"Lao Liu, answer the question!" Chen Rushan also echoed that this question must be answered.

Because as Alice said, it's crucial!

Lao Liu was asked by Chen Rushan, and he knew that he couldn't ignore this problem.

Finally, he took a deep breath and hesitated: "...... Yes, I admit, it is possible that the defendant is innocent! ”

As soon as this remark came out, it caused an uproar and shook the entire courtroom.

Zhou Ping'an, it is possible to be innocent!

Because of the existence of reasonable suspicion, as long as the investigation department does not rule out this suspicion, then the possibility that Zhou Ping'an is innocent will always exist.

This is the reasonable suspicion, and this is the response of the defense side to the ironclad evidence.

You can come up with ironclad evidence, but if you can't refute the reasonable doubts raised by us, then there is a possibility that our party will not be guilty.

on the hearing bench.

Teacher Luo picked up the water glass, thought about it and put it down.

However, he also sighed in his heart, and his tone was equally hesitant: "This case can come to this point, and it is also to blame Lao Liu that they did not investigate the line of usury!" ”

It may be a homicide case, and the pressure brought is too great, so after the investigation department determined that Zhou Ping'an was the murderer, it ignored other possibilities.

Such a reasonable suspicion was ignored, and it had a chain reaction that was not completely exploded until today.

And this became a key turning point in this case.

"Xiao Du's performance today, I give 99 points, and I am afraid that she will be proud of the remaining 1 point!"

Luo Xiaoxiang said, and saw Alice sitting back in the defense seat, and her little face was full of excitement and excitement at the moment.

Next, it should be the final finale of the court.

Closing Arguments!

He was looking forward to it, and he didn't know if Xiao Du's closing speech would surprise them as well.

On the judgment bench.

Chen Rushan glanced at the audience, and because of Lao Liu's answer, the somewhat noisy courtroom also quieted down.

"Prosecution, do you want to cross-examine?"

"We will not question witnesses for the time being."

Ren Qianning sighed helplessly, and there was no point in questioning Lao Liu.

"Well, both sides are ready to close the case!"

After Lao Chen finished speaking, he knocked the hammer and announced, letting Ren Qianning and Alice start to prepare separately.

The courtroom process has also come to the final step, the closing arguments.
