Chapter 45: "Superfluous" Evidence
But in any case, the plaintiff's two facts of the lawsuit are all photographed.
No matter how the photos came from (they were all captured by Xiao Ai), it doesn't matter.
The court only talks about the evidence and whether the evidence is legitimate.
Even if you are hit by a truck, take out your camera and take two sets of photos before you die in the air, no one will care, as long as the source of evidence is legitimate, it is in accordance with the procedure.
This kind of continuous capture of photos is not only direct evidence, but also has a certain logic, which can be regarded as ironclad evidence, and the plaintiff can easily be sentenced to win.
The judge nodded, and was about to knock down the gavel.
But at this time, Gu Meimen suddenly opened his mouth again.
"I ask that the witnesses be called, and there is additional evidence, because I still have some evidence that I want to tell in court."
The judge gave him a strange look and struck the hammer.
"Agree to apply!"
After a while, a middle-aged fat woman was brought up.
"This is the neighbor who lives next to Tatsuya Nagagawa's apartment, Ms. Bingu."
Gu Meimen introduced.
"Now, Ms. Bingu, please give me your testimony."
The fat woman nodded, looking at Tatsuya Nagagawa with a look of fear on her face.
"Late at night, I would hear strange noises coming from next door, like the stabbing of a sharpening knife, the sound of a hammer hitting the ground, and the creepy laughter, all coming from this man's room."
Tatsuya Nagai was anxious when he heard this.
"You talk nonsense, I was sleeping at that time!"
The fat woman ignored him and continued, "Your Excellency, what I said is true! This man doesn't know what he's doing late at night! ”
Nagagawa Tatsuya roared angrily: "I said it all, I'm sleeping!" ”
The judge struck the hammer: "Silence! ”
Wait for the courtroom to be quiet.
The judge then looked at Gu Meimen: "Plaintiff's agent, may I ask, what is the connection between the witnesses you summoned and the facts of this case?" ”
"Absolutely!"
Gumemen paused.
Then he said word by word.
"We believe that the defendant is also suspected of premeditating other crimes, such as intentional homicide and rape!"
As soon as these words came out, they almost shocked the audience.
"You are slandering, you are nothing!"
Tatsuya Nagagawa almost jumped.
Premeditated murder? Premeditated rape?
He did have this plan and bought the corresponding tools.
But this plan, he has never exposed, what night sharpening knives or something, there is no such thing at all!
Here, Komimen didn't pay attention to Tatsuya Nagai, who was jumping.
"I beg that new witnesses be called!"
Soon, several new witnesses came to court.
"This man bought some hardware tools from me, and I remember he also asked me if the glass knife was sharp, and his smile was disgusting and obscene at that time, so I was very impressed."
This is the owner of a hardware store.
"This person once visited my shop and bought some lube and condoms, and his expression was as if he was going to commit some crime."
This is the owner of a certain sex shop.
"This guy once visited my shop and bought some discs about tracking tail lines."
"This guy once visited my shop and bought some books on tracking tail lines."
These two are video stores and bookstores.
The more Tatsuya Nagai listened, the more the sweat on his head flowed.
Some of the testimonies of these witnesses are indeed true, such as hardware stores and sex toy stores, which he did visit.
But the last two are completely fabricated!
"There is also surveillance evidence of hardware stores and sex toy stores to prove that the defendant did visit."
"In addition, for several days in a row, the defendant hid under the downstairs of our client's apartment and peeped, here is the photo."
Gu Meimen took out a USB flash drive and took a few photos with it.
A series of bombardments of evidence that almost make people dizzy.
Everyone's eyes were all on the defendant in this lawsuit, Tatsuya Nagai.
For a while, they whispered.
Doubt, surprise, all sorts of voices followed.
Tatsuya Nagai was sweating like rain, and his heart was flustered.
He finally understood at this time.
The other party is prepared!
These evidences, true and false, are deliberately forged, just to accuse him, in addition to civil compensation, I also want him to accept criminal proceedings and let him go to prison!
"Protest!"
His defense lawyer, Masaki Saku, hurriedly stood up.
"The plaintiff said that the facts have nothing to do with this lawsuit, and he should file a separate lawsuit!"
The judge looked at him and struck the hammer: "The protest is invalid!" Please continue to present evidence! ”
Saku Hoshi could only sit down stupidly.
Generally speaking, in this case, the judge will not let the plaintiff continue, because strictly speaking, these are two cases, one civil and one criminal, and according to the procedure, it should be prosecuted separately, and the criminal case can only be prosecuted by the procuratorate.
However, this judge ...... He, no, should have called her.
She is a female judge.
Legally, she will not favor anyone, but logically she will favor the side of the same sex as herself.
Not to mention, this is still a premeditated rape and murder case.
The right of interpretation is always with the judge, and the defendant has no way at all.
So, Gu Meimen continued.
He came up with the last and most crucial piece of evidence.
"This is a photo of the downstairs of our plaintiff's apartment, Miss Miho Nishitani."
In the photo, it is a half-open blue and white sports bag, which is placed on the edge of the dirt near the bushes, and the location is very private.
From the half-open opening, some tools can be vaguely seen.
For example, glass drills, screwdrivers, etc., props that are easy to break down.
"Because it is important evidence, we did not touch this package, and then we can ask someone from the procuratorate to extract evidence."
Gu Meimen took a deep breath, and then said sonorously.
"Coupled with the witness testimony and speeches, the logic is coherent, and we have sufficient reason to suspect that this is the defendant's tool for committing crimes! He is suspicious enough to be charged with premeditated murder and premeditated rape! ”
At this moment, there was an uproar in the courthouse.
Everyone didn't expect that a small civil lawsuit would slowly evolve to the point of a criminal case!
Tatsuya Nagai in the dock was sweating, and his face changed for a while.
Suddenly, he got up and ran as if he were running away.
The judicial police on both sides immediately made a decision, and with lightning speed, they grabbed it with a single capture.
"Let go of me, I didn't break the law, you can't arrest me!"
Tatsuya Nagai struggled desperately, screaming as he struggled.
But his strength was so weak in the face of well-trained policemen that he was pressed to the table and could not move.
Xiao Ai, who was sitting in the auditorium, looked at the scene in front of him.
Her expression was as indifferent as ever, but there was a hint of incomprehension in her eyes.
In fact, before she came, there was something she didn't understand.
If it is a civil lawsuit, the two facts of the lawsuit at the beginning, then the two sets of photos she captured earlier are enough to win the lawsuit, strictly speaking, this kind of photo is not considered to be a forgery of evidence, but only a fabrication of evidence, and it does not go beyond the scope of the law.
So, why did Gu Meimen have to insist, and then falsify evidence, fake motives, and even induce some witnesses to speak inappropriately-
For example, the fat woman next door, the owner of the video store and bookstore, are all perjured by him.
The client's claim is only a civil lawsuit.
Strictly speaking, getting the other party to prison is not in the client's appeal.
Why did Gu Meimen do so much "redundant" work and get so much "redundant" evidence, and he must get a criminal case against the other party?
Xiao Ai didn't understand very much, she couldn't understand it a little.
I can only go to Gumeimen in person to ask later.
