my wife is a consul

Chapter 71 Sudden Death

In the courtroom, judge Feng Xuefan and the jury listened to the arguments of the prosecution and defense.

Sankeihan's motion to directly acquit Kato was rejected.

Now, Shan Jingfan and Cheng Lingyu are having a heated debate on whether the statement of the servant named Uncle Wang is hearsay evidence.

Cheng Lingyu was the strategy that Lu Ming spoke out in public yesterday, using the old woman who was dying to blame her son for pushing her down as an example to argue, saying that when Uncle Wang was taking the statement, he didn't know that he would die soon, and his character, It seems that she has always been cowardly and timid, and that's why she has a twisted mind, which is why she molested boys to show her strength.

But he wants to get the attention of the public even more, so he takes all these high-profile cases on himself. He just wants to enjoy the feeling of being under the spotlight that he has never enjoyed before, and in the end, he will inevitably change his confession.

Cheng Lingyu even hired a psychologist to analyze the mental state of people like Uncle Wang.

But Shan Jing Fan seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and directly refuted the old woman's example, saying that the old woman was very likely to be pushed down by her son, because her son could not stand the old woman's complaints for a long time. That's why I got angry.

The premise is that there is such a case.

Naturally, Cheng Lingyu could not find this case.

The psychiatrist was also directly unable to come to Taiwan by Shan Jingfan's strategy.

The first sentence, "Excuse me, how long have you and Uncle Wang spent together?"

After the psychiatrist said that he had never seen Uncle Wang, Shan Jingfan even shook his head and laughed contemptuously. After a long time, he said, "It turns out that Doctor Li diagnoses and treats psychological problems in this way, so you should be hired to be a big doctor in the palace." His majesty's imperial doctor, diagnosis from a distance, an anecdote through the ages!"

After Cheng Lingyu stood up to object to his taunt, he directly bowed to the judge's bench, "I have no problem!" He didn't even bother to look at the psychiatrist again.

Originally, at the preparatory meeting attended by all the prosecutors, the psychiatrist had made sufficient preparations, so how would he answer the fact that he had never met Uncle Wang.

Any prosecutor understands that this is a weak point, but the psychiatrist is actually very powerful and can explain very professionally why he has never met Uncle Wang, but he can analyze him from his life trajectory and past behavior.

As a result, prepare for a lonely.

At the preparatory meeting, Cheng Lingyu's strategy was this point. He asked Shan Jingfan to attack, and the psychiatrist explained it later, so that the jurors could be more convinced.

Who knows, Shan Jingfan will end up directly.

And he thought about it for a long time, and didn't go up to ask the psychiatrist to explain this point, otherwise, it would be like forcing an explanation.

There was no further questioning, and the psychiatrist exited.

Shan Jingfan cast a cold glance at the prosecutor's side, stood up: "Your Honor, I request to call our key witness, the witness we have spent a long time persuading! For this witness, Your Excellency gave us ten Days of preparation!"

"Objection!" Cheng Lingyu stood up, "We haven't seen the list of defense witnesses updated!"

"She only agreed before going to court today, but she has a noble status. I was worried that she would not appear in court. Therefore, I just had a brief communication with Feng Guan in private, but unexpectedly, she came bravely!"

Shan Jingfan pointed to a figure who had just walked in through the gate and sat in the auditorium.

Lu Ming looked over, but she was a beautiful young woman wearing a light blue patterned kimono. Her hair was very delicate and her appearance was beautiful, but compared to the melon-seeded face common to beautiful women in Zhongzhou, her face was slightly round and plump, which was typical at first glance. Japanese women.

Feng Xuefan beckoned, Shan Jingfan and Cheng Lingyu walked up to the judge's bench, the three of them whispered a few words, Cheng Lingyu nodded reluctantly.

Cheng Lingyu came back to the prosecution seat and whispered to Lu Ming, "Kato Masaichi's cousin, a widow, is called Gui Linghua."

"Witness, please go to the witness stand." Feng Xuefan gestured.

The young Japanese woman got up timidly, and walked onto the witness stand in small steps with white socks and wooden clogs.

Shan Jingfan took two steps forward, "The prosecution has always had doubts about my client being unmarried, Mrs. Gui Linghua, do you know the reason?"

Gui Linghua lowered her head, not daring to look around, and said something in a low voice, the voice was so small that she couldn't hear clearly at all.

"Mrs. Gui Linghua, please speak up."

"Because..., because we were childhood sweethearts, he, he liked me..." Gui Linghua said, her pretty face flushed, and she didn't dare to look up.

"How did you know that?"

"I, I just know..." Gui Linghua almost buried her head in the witness stand, her voice was like a mosquito.

Although she didn't say the reason, it just made people feel that her words were very credible.

The dialogue between Shan Jingfan and Gui Linghua is in the Japanese language, and there are translators and translations into Western and Central Asian languages.

"After your husband passed away, may I ask, have you and Mr. Masaichi Kato ever been together?"

Gui Linghua was dumbfounded, lowered her head, and said nothing in a daze.

"Mrs. Katsura Ayaka, please answer my question!"

Finally, Gui Linghua nodded slightly.

"Mrs. Gui Linghua, please answer me, yes or no?"

"Yes, yes..." Gui Linghua hurriedly agreed, it seemed that there were tears in her eyes.

There were noises from the jury seats and the auditorium, and some people started talking.

"Ms. Katsura Ayaka, what you said meant that you were with Mr. Kato Masaichi, did you have sexual intercourse with Kato Masaichi?"

There was an uproar in the courtroom.

Gui Linghua even lowered her head, tears slowly falling down.

"Mrs. Gui Linghua, please answer me, yes or no?" Shan Jingfan asked loudly.

"Yes, yes,...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." Gui Linghua said helplessly, and then, she fell on the witness stand and sobbed softly.

Immediately, there was a "coax", and the court was boiling.

"Silence! Silence!" Feng Xuefan picked up the gavel and slammed on the table, and the chaotic voices in the court gradually subsided.

Shan Jingfan sighed softly and looked at the jury seat, "Ms. Gui Linghua is distinguished and has inherited nearly one million assets from her late husband. Moreover, her late husband has a will. If Mrs. Gui Linghua remarries or gets married If there is an affair, the right of inheritance will be automatically lost."

"However, when I heard that the prosecution slandered Mr. Kato Masaichi because of Mr. Kato Masaichi's mental problems, Mrs. Katsura Ayaka stood up bravely. She would rather lose the astronomical inheritance rights than her true love. I admire her courage, she is a great woman, she is willing to lose everything for true love, to show the truth, and to refute the absurd accusations of the prosecution, she sits here bravely, I think, we Anyone has no reason to despise her!"

Some jurors showed shame on their faces, and some female jurors showed sympathy in their eyes, especially the few Western female jurors who looked at the prosecution seat with disdain.

What Shan Jingfan said, it seems that it was not him Shan Jingfan who forced this weak but great woman to this point, but the absurd accusation of the prosecution.

Several prosecutors sitting in the gallery could clearly see the reactions of the jurors.

However, Japanese jurors and Western jurors should try their best to choose women. This is what our side has always insisted on. For this reason, it took almost half a month of stalemate with Shan Jingfan before the jury was successfully formed.

Now, it's like lifting a rock and shooting yourself in the foot.

Female jurors, too easily emotional.

What's more, Sanjingfan's cleverness is that through this questioning, it seems that whether Kato Masaichi doesn't like women has become the key to the problem and the main reason why the prosecution suspects him.

Subtly, it makes people feel that as long as Kato Shoichi and the woman have a normal peace, it will not be a psychopath who tortured those boys.

These prosecutors were all a little frustrated, and Wang Xiaohu gritted his teeth tightly.

At the prosecutor's seat, Lu Ming whispered, "I'll fuck her!" and wanted to get up.

To make this "great" woman dirty and smelly in court, this kind of dirty work must be my second seat. The main accusation must win the favor of the jury, and he must make a closing statement, which cannot arouse the jury's disgust.

A deep thought flashed in Cheng Lingyu's eyes, he suddenly grabbed Lu Ming's arm and said, "I'll do it!"

Lu Ming was stunned, and Cheng Lingyu had already stood up and walked to the witness stand.

"Miss Gui Linghua, please calm down and nod when you can answer my question." Cheng Lingyu's voice was soft.

Gui Linghua wiped her tears and nodded slightly, "I, I can do it...I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

The weak point is extremely distressing.

"Okay, Miss Gui Linghua, what's your education?" Cheng Lingyu asked lightly.

Gui Linghua lightly pointed at the microphone, "I, I graduated from middle school..."

"Oh, that means you didn't receive higher education, you didn't go to university, so have you ever studied human sociology? Have you taken courses like psychology?"

"No, no..." Gui Linghua timidly.

"Then, Miss Gui Linghua has a lot of experience in dating men, and even a lot of experience in dating different men?"

"Objection!" Shan Jingfan stood up abruptly, causing an uproar in the courtroom.

"Your Honor, my question is very important!" Cheng Lingyu looked at Feng Xuefan.

Feng Xuefan waved his hand, signaling Shan Jingfan to sit down.

Gui Linghua lowered her head and did not speak.

"Well, you don't want to answer because you think this question is insulting to you, but what I want to ask is, if you don't have experience with many men and sample a lot, how would you know that the men you have sex with, Wouldn't it be a pedophile, wouldn't it kill boys?"

"Your Honor! I'm done asking questions!" Cheng Lingyu turned and walked towards the prosecutor's seat.

"Others, I don't know about others, but, but Ichiro, I know him, I have known him since I was very young, he is not a pervert, absolutely not!" Gui Linghua suddenly looked up with tears streaming down her face, looking at Cheng Lingyu's back Said, the voice is very small, but the tone is very firm.

Cheng Lingyu was stunned.

In the auditorium, the prosecutors were all stunned. Unexpectedly, this Gui Linghua finally showed up like this. I don't know if it was the truth, or it was taught by Shan Jingfan, or it was just adapting to the situation?

If it's the last one, then this woman is terrible.

Cheng Lingyu then turned around, "Well, you and Ichiro are in love with each other, and you have had a deep relationship since you were a child, so you married his cousin, and you have an affair with him since I don't know when, but you don't have an affair with him. Your cousin is divorced, and you don’t want to be with him dignifiedly. Even if his cousin passes away, you don’t want to give up a huge inheritance, so you still have a sneaky relationship with him. Your relationship is very pure, deep, and very touching. People are moved!"

Shan Jingfan got up and objected persistently. After Cheng Lingyu finished speaking, he didn't turn his head back to the prosecution seat.

The jurors looked at Gui Linghua, a delicate and soft woman, with different eyes.

The prosecutors in the auditorium all breathed a sigh of relief, saying that they were indeed Cheng Jian, and they responded really quickly.

Sanjinghan looked at the prosecution seat, thought for a while, got up and walked to Gui Linghua, and asked, "Mrs. Gui Linghua, why did you marry Mr. Kato Masaichi's cousin?"

"Because, because, he, he forced me. At that time, Ichiro was at home and had no status. He threatened me. If, if I didn't marry him, he would drive Ichiro out..."

Gui Linghua lowered her head and wiped her tears.

"Then, when your late husband was alive, did you and Mr. Ichiro have any affair?"

"No, absolutely not, I, I don't dare..." Gui Linghua raised her head, her gaze was firm, and she timidly lowered her head after speaking.

"After your husband passed away, why didn't you marry Masaichi Kato in a dignified manner? Is it because of the huge inheritance?"

"No, I, we are a big family..." Gui Linghua shook her head lightly, with too much helplessness and grievance in her eyes, tears flowed down again.

Shan Jingfan looked at the jury seat, "After today, Mrs. Gui Linghua should be kicked out of her house and lose everything, but because of the absurd accusation made by the prosecution, she... oh..."

Shan Jingfan sighed, shook his head, and returned to his seat.

Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the prosecutor's seat, but he saw Cheng Lingyu's face showing a dejected expression.

Yes, they lost.

In fact, according to the current situation, it doesn't matter whether Gui Linghua's testimony is valid or not. Adding this one makes them even more powerless to fight back.

It doesn't matter if they get rid of this witness, let alone, they didn't get rid of it?

If this case must be reflected by the winning rate, the current winning rate of one's own side is 90.00% [-], which is infinitely close to [-]%.

Looking at Kato Masaichi next to him, he said in a low voice, "Mr. Kato, it's the same sentence, don't cause trouble during this time."

This ruthless guy, I was sometimes afraid of him, he was going to kill that young lawyer, he was the one who talked about it, and even informed the headquarters, so the headquarters called and strictly suppressed his planned reckless actions.

"Hmph, I'll let him live for a few more days..." Kato Masaichi said grimly.

Shan Jingfan sighed softly in his heart, he originally had an illegitimate son here, he was very young, just five years old, and he loved it very much, he took this case and originally wanted to get together with his family, but during this time, what happened? I didn't dare to come to my side, for fear of being seen by Mr. Ichiro.

"Your Honor, we request to question Uncle Wang's testimony again." Over there, the young lawyer stood up.

Shan Jingfan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, it was boring, he didn't expect that Prosecutor Cheng would give up just like that, it was very boring to win.

Question Wang Bo's testimony?It was a dying struggle.
