my wife is a consul

Chapter 39: Sword, Light, Sword and Shadow

In the lounge, Lu Ming buried his head in writing.

Li Mingxuan finally couldn't help it, "Your strategy may be to knock out the point where I robbed things, but in this way, Li Xiaoyan, the victim, is even more innocent in the eyes of the jury, not to mention that I killed her." Well, if I hurt her, won't it become more hateful?"

Lu Ming raised his head and looked at him: "You are disgusting in the first place. She took you by her side as a long-term follower. What is she trying to do? She wants you to be lame? Or does she want you not to take a bath? You know the reason, and sooner or later it will be You came here, but you are greedy for a comfortable life and have a fluke mentality, if you ask me, even if you are sentenced to death by ringleading, you deserve it!"

"You..." Li Mingxuan's face turned green and pale, and he stood up abruptly, but then his eyes lit up, looking at Lu Ming who continued to bury his head in his pen, Li Mingxuan sat down, bowed his head and meditated.

"Tsinghua, come on, help me with something!" Lu Ming waved to Chen Qinghua.

Chen Qinghua's spirits lifted, he always felt that what he did recently had nothing to do with this case, and it didn't help the boss at all.

But after receiving the note from Lu Ming, and looking at what was written on it, he couldn't help being stunned.

The boss asked him to collect all the information about the accidents of Lingwei cars. If there were victims, he should meet with the families of the victims to find out the details.

"In the past few days, hurry up, you don't need to follow this case." Lu Ming said.

"Okay..." Although Chen Qinghua was unwilling in every possible way, he could not go against the boss's wishes.

"Tsinghua, this matter is very important, you must do it well, you must be meticulous and attentive, you know?" Lu Ming looked at him, and emphasized his tone, "This may concern you, Brother Lu, and me, whether we can stand here!"

In fact, Chen Qinghua should be a few years older than Lu Ming, but the boss called himself "Brother" naturally meant closeness.

Seeing Lu Ming's solemn expression, Chen Qinghua immediately felt much more at ease, and nodded: "Don't worry."

Wang Daan was watching this scene, feeling a little helpless, at least Chen Qinghua still had something to do, and from the beginning to the end, he was really just a display.

At this moment, the bailiff gently knocked on the door, "Lawyer Lu, it's time to start."

……

Li Mingxuan sat on the witness stand again.

Liu Hanxuan walked up to him, "Mr. Li Si, are you in a better mood now? Can we start?"

Li Mingxuan nodded slightly.

"Mr. Li Si, according to your latest testimony, you hit Ms. Li Xiaoyan's head with a sculpture that killed Ms. Li Xiaoyan?"

"No." Lu Ming raised his hand, "When Mr. Li Haoran hit Ms. Li Xiaoyan on the head, this sculpture was not the murder weapon."

Liu Hanxuan spread his hands, "But, it is the murder weapon that killed Ms. Li Xiaoyan, isn't it? Lawyer Lu, according to your strict timeline, objective things will become very chaotic."

Cao Guan nodded, indicating that the objection was invalid, and the witnesses needed to answer questions.

"Yes." Li Mingxuan said softly into the microphone.

"You are so understanding and considerate of Ms. Li Xiaoyan, but in the end, you smashed Ms. Li Xiaoyan's head with an iron sculpture that can kill people?" Liu Hanxuan was surprised, turned around, and shook his head at the jury.

The jurors also shook their heads, feeling sad for poor Ms. Li Xiaoyan.

Li Mingxuan was silent.

"Is there a third party in the room at that time?" Liu Hanxuan asked.

"No."

"When you left, did you see a third person enter Ms. Li Xiaoyan's room?"

"No." Li Mingxuan shook his head again.

"So, you left the seriously injured Ms. Li Xiaoyan alone and let her struggle in extreme pain?"

Liu Hanxuan didn't wait for Li Mingxuan to react, "Besides, you smashed Ms. Li Xiaoyan's head many times, right?"

"I didn't!" Li Mingxuan looked up.

"Yes, you didn't. You just know Ms. Li Xiaoyan so well, and you empathize with her experience so much. In the end, you hurt her cruelly, leaving her who was seriously injured by you, and went back to the rental house that Ms. Li Xiaoyan rented for you. , admiring those expensive ornaments, sighing, ah, Ms. Li Xiaoyan, what a lovely and pitiful person she is!..."

Liu Hanxuan bowed slightly to the judge's seat and the jury seat, "I have no problem!"

Leaving Li Mingxuan with a pale face behind, he turned and walked back to the prosecutor's seat.

Zhang Jingjing looked at the master adoringly, unexpectedly, in just 10 minutes, the master thought of a way to crack it, launched a beautiful counterattack, and wiped out the advantage of the defense just now.

Lu Ming got up and walked to the witness stand.

"You know Ms. Li Xiaoyan very well, don't you?" Lu Ming asked.

"Maybe I understand her a little bit."

"She can be said to be your benefactor, isn't she?"

"Yes, she hired me, got me a temporary residence permit, and I was, with a bunch of bums."

"Does she often ask you to drink with her?"

"Yes."

"As a servant, do you think you are qualified? Because, your leg is lame, right?"

Li Mingxuan was silent.

"Why do you think she hired you?"

Li Mingxuan remained silent.

"Before you were disfigured, did you think that the adjective handsome could be used?" Lu Ming said, "Please show Exhibit No. 19 of Category D."

It was a photo of Li Mingxuan following Li Xiaoyan, a paper-cut from a gossip tabloid. In the photo, Li Mingxuan's original appearance was clearly seen.

This paper-cut was sent to Cao Guan and the jury.

"According to most people's aesthetics, you are still very handsome."

"So, as a person with limited mobility and unable to perform the duties of a servant, do you really not understand why Ms. Li Xiaoyan hired you? Especially, she often gives you expensive gifts?" Lu Ming pressed Li Mingxuan.

"No, against the defense's use of malicious speculation to stigmatize the victim!" Liu Hanxuan raised his hand.

Lu Ming nodded, "I'll ask my question again."

Looking at Li Mingxuan, "Ms. Li Xiaoyan, she is a very poor woman. You are taking advantage of her loneliness because you don't want to be a tramp anymore, right?"

Li Mingxuan bit his lip and didn't speak, his face turned green and pale.

However, he clenched his fists and his body was shaking slightly.

"Witness, please answer my question!" Lu Ming raised his voice.

"Yes, I was deceiving her!" Li Mingxuan clenched his fists and raised his head violently, a little hysterically, "I just took chances and thought it was all right! Because, because she is a kind woman, I know, she, she is not will force me!"

"But I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!" Li Mingxuan shook his head in pain, "I really didn't expect it..."

"But, I really didn't kill her, I really didn't kill her... How could I want to kill her?" Li Mingxuan lowered his head and murmured, "I didn't kill her, I didn't kill her..."

Lu Ming sighed softly, "Yes, Ms. Li Xiaoyan, I didn't intend to force you, but because of a misunderstanding, it caused the small conflict between you..."

Liu Hanxuan raised his hand, "I object to the defense's deliberate downplaying of the cruelty of the case. Ms. Li Xiaoyan died tragically. This is not a small conflict!"

Lu Ming turned around, "I request to call the prosecution's second witness, forensic officer Liu Kuang."

"Liu Kuang, can you come to court today?" Cao Guan asked calmly.

Yesterday Liu Kuang went to court and told about the results of the autopsy, but Lu Ming only asked one question, was anyone's fingerprints found on the murder weapon?

Liu Kuang replied no.

To be summoned to court again, if the witnesses do not have time today, they will have to schedule another time, since it is a temporary summons after all.

This is also the reason why many cases will drag on for a long time.

Liu Hanxuan was about to get up, saying that the witness was not nearby and needed further communication. In this way, since several courts may have case trial arrangements, the next session may take three or four days, so give yourself enough time to prepare.

But the main thing is that the tragic character of the suspect created by the opposing lawyer in court will be diluted over time.

More or less, in today's court, I still feel a bit disadvantaged, and I am playing tricks.

This young rookie lawyer named Lu Qianxing created pressure on himself. He has been in the legal field of Beiguan for more than ten years, and he has never experienced this kind of experience.

It seemed that what I was facing were those superior ghost lawyers in the East China Sea Region. It was incredible.

Liu Hanxuan was thinking wildly, just stood up and wanted to shirk that he couldn't contact the witness for the time being.

But at this time, the wide wooden door of the court was pushed open, and Liu Kuang entered in a hurry.

Lu Ming immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Liu is here!"

When Liu Hanxuan looked back, his eyes froze immediately.

"How did you come?"

Liu Kuang walked over, Liu Hanxuan asked with a frown.

"Didn't your office assistant call me and ask me to come?" Liu Kuang was surprised.

Liu Hanxuan looked at Lu Ming again, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

This shows that, up to now, every step of the lawsuit has been predicted, and this guy is proceeding step by step according to his plan.

This is a bit scary.

"Prosecutor, are your witnesses ready?" Cao Guan asked again.

"Yes, yes..." Liu Hanxuan helplessly pushed the mirror frame on the bridge of his nose. The witness is already standing in the courtroom, so there is no reason why he should not be allowed to testify. This kind of trick can't be used until the end of the mountain.

Moreover, Liu Kuang would not agree. He is one of the most authoritative experts in the Beiguan Forensic Medicine Office, and he would not let himself be manipulated.

Liu Kuang sat on the witness stand.

Lu Ming walked in front of him, "I read the autopsy in your forensic office. Ms. Li Xiaoyan's skull was hit four times, right?"

"Yes." Liu Kuang nodded.

"The flying eagle sculpture identified as the murder weapon, from above, no fingerprints were detected, right?"

"Yes." Liu Kuang nodded again.

"Then why, in your opinion, are there no fingerprints?"

Liu Kuang thought for a while, "Our forensic doctors talk about evidence, scientific facts, and don't make any speculation."

"Okay, then, if I say that the murderer wiped off the fingerprints on the sculpture, do you think it is possible?"

"This possibility is very high." Liu Kuang nodded again.

"Mr. Liu Kuang, as far as I know, at the initial identification discussion meeting, you had the opinion that the time of the four blows may be very different, especially the heaviest blow may be the same as the first blow. Hit, more than three hours apart? Is that so?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Liu Kuang's eyes, but he was very calm, "Actually, with our current identification methods, we cannot accurately deduce the specific time interval when the victim's skull was hit. Therefore, this opinion, after our discussion, , not adopted."

Lu Ming nodded, "Since the current scientific evidence cannot deduce the time interval between the four blows on the victim's skull, that is to say, according to the scientific appraisal, you cannot rule out the first blow and the last blow. The blows were separated by three hours or more?"

Liu Kuang froze.

Liu Hanhuang immediately frowned.

"Mr. Liu Kuang, please answer my question. You keep saying that you only respect science and evidence. Then, please answer my question. Based on scientific appraisal and existing evidence, can it be ruled out that Ms. Li Xiaoyan is the first The attack, and the last attack, may be separated by more than three hours? Because of your colleagues, someone raised this possibility."

Liu Kuang thought for a while, "It's not impossible, but..."

Lu Ming quickly interrupted him, "Mr. Liu Kuang, there are no fingerprints on the murder weapon, right?"

"Yes, I have already said it just now." Liu Kuang was a little impatient, and wanted to return to the question just now, "As for the time when the wound was caused..."

"Mr. Liu Kuang, you just think that the four blows happened almost at the same time, so it must be the same person?" Lu Ming asked.

"Yes..." Liu Kuang still wanted to explain.

"However, you also said that there is no scientific evidence to prove that the victim in this case, the time interval between each attack..."

"But you also insisted that the four attacks took place at very short intervals, and that it was done by one person."

"Is this your scientific spirit?"

Liu Kuang froze, unable to speak for a while.

Zhang Jingjing listened blankly, the forensic officer was obviously not the opponent of the rookie lawyer, not to mention that the rookie lawyer was speechless, and even the rookie lawyer took the opportunity to attack the victim cleverly, turning it into a "four times attacked" "I heard this kind of rhetoric, and I felt as if several people beat the victim, and the one who died should be the last one.

If I didn't know how to defend lawyers, I'm afraid I would be led into a ditch by him now.

Liu Hanxuan had already got up, "No, I hope the defense will give the witness enough time to answer questions."

"That's not my obligation. He just needs to answer my questions. If he needs to explain further, Lawyer Liu, it will take your cross-examination time."

Liu Hanxuan frowned, this guy was right, but in today's courts, there are very few such defense lawyers, who simply make the most of all the rules.

Lu Ming turned his head to look at Liu Kuang, who had a gloomy face, "Mr. Liu Kuang, the forensic office finally believed that the beatings happened at about the same time. It seems that there was a certain degree of discussion and inference about the case, so we came to the conclusion that this conclusion, right?"

Liu Kuang's face was gloomy, but his words were extremely careful. "Forensic doctors are human too. Of course we will discuss this case, but it will not affect our identification results. We make all conclusions from a scientific point of view."

Lu Ming nodded: "Since you have analyzed this case, then, a murderer killed the victim with four brutal blows, and then wiped the fingerprints on the murder weapon with a clear mind, and then, He returned to his rented house, and there was no sign of fleeing."

"This man, he knew very well that he entered the victim's room, and many people knew it. Even after he killed someone, he was still seen when he left."

"He wiped off the fingerprints on the murder weapon to conceal the fact that he killed himself, but he boldly let the witnesses and the insiders go, and went back to his rented house to sleep in peace?"

"Is this person schizophrenic?"

Liu Kuang shook his head: "This is not my field of expertise, and I will not make any judgments."

"He failed in rape, robbed and murdered, wiped the fingerprints on the murder weapon, but went home swaggeringly, not caring about being seen entering and leaving the victim's room..."

Lu Ming turned his head to look at the jury seat, and spread his hands, "I think there is only one possibility, and he is sleepwalking."

Although it was a brutal murder case, some jurors couldn't help it, almost laughed out loud, and quickly lowered their heads to hold back.

Liu Hanxuan stood up, "Your Honor, I have a psychologist who can clearly analyze the psychological state of the perpetrator. I request that he be summoned to testify in court."

Cao Guan looked at the time, "The court will be adjourned for half an hour."

Lu Ming turned around, "In court, because witness No. [-] did not show professionalism, there was a problem with the chain of evidence in the case. Therefore, I would like to invite witness No. [-] of the prosecution to testify in court again. I have a few questions I would like to ask him. , he is in the public gallery now."

Witness No. [-] is the manager of Jincheng Hotel, Du Laifu, who is also the victim's cousin, and was the key witness who testified that Li Mingxuan entered the victim's room and left Li Xiaoyan's room.

He really likes to join in the fun. Originally, the prosecution didn't plan for him to testify in court today, but as long as it was this case, he would come to listen, and now he is in the gallery.

Cao Guan looked at Liu Hanxuan: "Then your expert witness will appear in court next, let's listen to the testimony of witness No. [-] first."

Looking at Du Laifu sitting at the back of the auditorium, Liu Hanxuan was very angry. Seeing him coming to every court trial, he wanted to scold him for a long time. It was like his brain was flooded. He liked to join in all the excitement, and he was a witness to the murder Case, also love gossip so much?When I was a child, my head was pinched by the door, it is simply a strange thing.
