Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!

Chapter 150 Both of them were putting on an act! [A long chapter of 4,000 words!]

Looking at everyone present, Xu Liang smiled politely, a smile that made Zhao Yi uneasy.

Don't wait for anyone to interrupt you.

Xu Liang then spoke, and as his lips parted, each word reached everyone's ears.
"Next, I'm going to tell you a truth that only our side has uncovered!"

The truth known only to the plaintiff?
Ok?
What the hell is this?

And
Why are you still questioning the authenticity of the defendant's evidence?!

It’s endless, right?
Last time, I stuffed a lump of yellow mud into Zhou Ke's crotch. It wasn't shit, but it was still shit, so he couldn't explain himself even if he was guilty.

Are they trying to use the same old tricks again?!
At this moment, it wasn't just Zhou Ke and the reporters present.

The residents watching the live broadcast on their television sets were stunned.

Even in Uptown, in the offices of Uptown University, it was the same.

Wu Chengjun watched TV, his brows furrowed.

court.

"Plaintiff, I would like to make a statement in advance."

Zhao Yi, sitting in the dock, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"The court has verified the evidence submitted by the defendant."

"The evidence is authentic and valid. If the plaintiff continues to smear the defendant without providing any concrete evidence, the court will take necessary measures against you!"

There are two key points that are most important in court proceedings.

First, the evidence; second, the authenticity of the evidence.

Xu Liang refused to produce any evidence and repeatedly questioned the authenticity of the other party's claims.
Zhao Yi can adjourn the court for an investigation once, but there will absolutely be no second time!
But this time...
"Your Honorable Judge."

"Before submitting the evidence, we need to ask the defendant a few questions to confirm."

Xu Liang returned the smile.

He then looked down at the manuscript, and under the watchful eyes of countless people, he slowly began to speak:

"December 6, 12 p.m., that is the time of death of the victim in the 'Jinjiang Hotel corpse falling case'."

"According to the defendant's lawyer, at the time of the incident, there were only two perpetrators at the scene, namely Du Ze and Jiang Hai. Du Ze was coerced, while Jiang Hai was the mastermind."

According to the testimony of the defendant Du Ze, Jiang Hai had malicious intentions on the 6th because he had no money for internet access.

"This ultimately led to the deaths of two people!"

"On the day of the incident, the defendant, Duan Feipeng, stayed at home the whole time and did not appear at the scene at all!"

Finished.

Xu Liang stopped moving, giving everyone some time to process what was happening, and then looked at Zhao Yi.

"Your Honor, may I ask?"

"Did the opposing lawyer say this himself during the last court hearing?"

Zhao Yi paused, then turned to look at Zhou Ke on the other side.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Ke frowned slightly.

He couldn't figure out what Xu Liang was up to, but seeing how logical the other party seemed, a sense of unease began to rise in his heart.

But they actually managed to ask the question.
"It was what I said." Zhou Ke took a deep breath and admitted it with a forced smile.

Ha, you admit it!

The plaintiff, Yang Ruoxi, smiled.

"During the last court hearing, were you also the one who collected the evidence that your side submitted?"

"It's me." Zhou Ke felt increasingly uneasy.

"it is good!"

Xu Liang stopped talking and stopped looking at Zhou Ke.

Instead, he focused his gaze on everyone present, took a deep breath, and spoke in a booming voice.

"And what we want to say is..."
"On the day of the incident, December 6th, at 12 PM, there were three perpetrators at the murder scene on Guihua Street!"

The moment the words fell.

Zhou Ke's pupils suddenly contracted, his hair stood on end, and a chill ran down his spine.

Yes.

There are three murderers, everyone knows that, but no one has any evidence, so he fabricated evidence.

So under normal circumstances, even if Xu Liang said that, it would be useless, and he might even be warned by the judge, but now...
What time is it now?
When the other party submits evidence!
Duan Feipeng was also a little flustered. He had never been exposed like this in public before when he was on trial in court.

Xu Liang's words have now revealed the truth he had been hiding, making him feel as uncomfortable as a rat being dragged out of the sewer!
Zhou Ke could only give him a reassuring look in return.

He calmed himself down and continued listening.

"7:30 on December 6th."

"The deceased, 'Liu Zi,' was found in the garbage alley. He went to the garbage bin in the back kitchen of the bakery because he was hungry."

"And a dozen minutes later, at 7:45 p.m., three perpetrators followed behind."

"These three are Jiang Hai, Du Ze, and..."

"Duan Feipeng!!!"

Xu Liang paused abruptly, then his gaze sharpened, like a steel knife piercing Duan Feipeng's heart.

Duan Feipeng's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a little suffocated.

Not finished yet.

Xu Liang continued speaking!
“The three men blocked the deceased and then tortured and beat him, leaving him only able to kneel on the ground and wail.”

"During the beating, the deceased pleaded with the three men for mercy and tried to soften his stance, but they ignored him. Instead, the three men intensified their violence!"

"Subsequently, due to unbearable pain, the deceased resisted and attempted to escape."

"but"

Suddenly.

Xu Liang suddenly made eye contact with Du Ze.

Du Ze, sitting in the dock, immediately panicked, his eyes darting around as if searching for a place to hide.

"Du Ze, the person on trial, dragged the deceased back just as he was about to escape!"

"He pressed the deceased firmly to the ground, cooperating with the defendant Duan Feipeng in committing the assault!"

"In the end, the victim was beaten to death!"

"This! Is the truth behind the case!"

The sub-zero temperatures made people shiver, but Xu Liang's words made their blood boil!
After hearing these words, everyone couldn't hold back any longer.

Some reporters from smaller media outlets even forgot to take pictures and started whispering among themselves.

"What?! It's changed again?!"

"Didn't they say in the last trial that Du Ze was coerced by Jiang Hai? How come it seems now that Du Ze acted entirely voluntarily, and the victims wouldn't have died even without him?!"

"If that's the case, then Du Ze is completely absolving himself of guilt!"

"Where is Duan Feipeng? Doesn't Duan Feipeng have an alibi?"

When someone mentions this.

Some people froze for a moment, then looked on in astonishment.

Yes.

If Xu Liang's statement is true, then Duan Feipeng's so-called alibi is valid.
All of a sudden.

Some people became terrified.

Zhao Yi, sitting in the dock, was also filled with emotion, his heart sinking to the bottom.

If what Xu Liang said is true, then it means that the defendant's completely contradictory evidence is false!
Fake certificates are easy to deal with; just refuse to recognize them and send the person who made the fake certificates to jail.

But the problem is.
This fake certificate was personally reviewed and verified by Zhao Yi and his team!

As a result, the verified evidence was proven to be fake. So what were they verifying?
Of course, if Xu Liang were just smearing people, none of this would have happened.

But Zhao Yi understood him.

The other party never says anything they are not sure about. For example, during the first court hearing, Xu Liang never refuted the evidence submitted by Zhou Ke, but simply questioned the authenticity of the evidence!
He must have something to back him up by saying that!
The only thing a trial can rely on is evidence!

at this time.

In the upper city, Wang Yao, Wu Chengjun, Li Yang, and others watching on television couldn't help but widen their eyes and hold their breath as they continued to watch.

"Bang bang bang!"

Zhao Yi struck the gavel three times in a row. "Silence!"

He whispered, and the previously noisy scene gradually quieted down, but the restless hearts continued to pound.

Zhao Yi turned to look at the plaintiff and took a deep breath.

"Plaintiff, do you have any evidence to support your claims?"

Xu Liang smiled and said:

"Of course."

有.
There really is evidence!?

Zhou Ke nearly lost his balance; his muscles were tense as he stared intently at Xu Liang.

"Your Honorable Judge."

“We found a surveillance camera on ‘Guihua Street’ and ‘Jiangquan Hotel’.”

"The surveillance footage was located inside the hotel, and coincidentally..."

Xu Liang paused for a moment, then asked Yang Ruoxi to take out a CD.

The disc contains the evidence he found back then!
"The security camera happened to be peering through a crack in the window and captured the entire murder on the night of December 6th!!!"

The moment the words fell.

Everyone's pupils constricted as they stared intently at the disc in his hand.

Zhou Ke felt his breathing becoming rapid, but his brain kept sending warnings of oxygen deprivation, and his eyes were fixed on the screen.

'Evidence? How could this be? How could there be?'

'There were clearly no clues at the crime scene, and there shouldn't have been any security cameras on the entire street!!!'

His mind was in a complete mess; he couldn't imagine where a camera could be hidden, let alone film the scene.
But Xu Liang wouldn't wait for him.

"Bring it here!" Zhao Yi urged.

The court clerk immediately set off for the plaintiff's seat and took the CD away.

Zhao Yi looked at the court clerk, then at the surroundings, and finally took a deep breath to begin the public trial.

The clerk simply put the CD into the player.

All of a sudden.

A projection appeared on the huge white cloth in the courtroom.

Everyone turned to look.

According to the time in the upper right corner, it is 12 PM on December 6th!
The projection angle is from the ceiling, looking down at a dark, lifeless, and desolate room.

The room was unremarkable, much like any other hotel room.

The only difference is
There is a window in the corner of the video.

And what you see based on the open window.
It just so happens to be a murder scene!!!

Zhao Yi suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Before he could react.

Soon, a gaunt figure burst in from the corner. In the darkness, the person opened the trash can lid and began picking something up from it.

This person is the victim in the case!
As Zhou Ke, Duan Feipeng, and others sensed something ominous.

Shortly after, three more people appeared in the video, and then the three of them subjected the deceased to inhumane torture!

During the incident, the victim attempted to resist and escape, but was caught and dragged back by one of the perpetrators.

Seemingly enraged by him, one of them took a stick and smashed it hard on the back of the victim's head, who was being pressed firmly to the ground!
"boom!"

Once, twice, three times.
With each blow of the stick, everyone present felt a tremor in their hearts.

They could almost hear the sound of clubs falling, blood and brains splattering.
Until the victim's eyes became dull and his pupils dilated, like the eyes of a dead fish.

The other party then stopped taking action.

Just then, the dark clouds dispersed, and beams of cool moonlight shone down, illuminating the three people hidden in the darkness.
Everything is illuminated.

These three were Jiang Hai, Du Ze, and...
Duan Feipeng!!!
The video has finished playing.

The entire courtroom was in a state of shock for a long time.

Duan Feipeng's ruthless actions, Du Zejiang's smirking smile as if he were playing with an ant, the already emaciated corpse, and the eyes that were gradually losing their light.
A person just died like that.

He was tortured to death like that.
Everyone felt dazed and incredulous.

Even Zhao Yi fell silent.

Then, a voice rang out.

"Your Honorable Presiding Judge, Honorable Judges!"

"Based on the evidence provided above, it is sufficient to prove that the defendant's defense attorney, Zhou Ke, attempted to fabricate false evidence in order to allow the defendant, Duan Feipeng, to escape legal punishment!!!"

Without hesitation, Xu Liang decisively steered the conversation toward Zhou Ke.

In an instant, the crowd, brought back to their senses by the voice, instinctively fixed their eyes on Duan Feipeng and Zhou Ke.

Duan Feipeng was trembling.

His hands were trembling uncontrollably.

Her breathing became rapid, but she met the scrutinizing gazes around her with a threatening and ruthless stare.

Zhou Ke's mind was completely blank.

He stared at the finished video, his mind buzzing.

He simply couldn't understand why a hotel, or even a room, would install a camera on the ceiling directly facing the bed!
Zhao Yi rubbed his temples and offered a reminder.

"Defendant, do you have any objections?"

"Oh, oh."

Zhou Ke snapped out of his daze, glanced at Xu Liang in a panic, and his mind was in complete chaos.

This video completely disrupted his rhythm!
"This video is fake!"

"I demand an investigation!"

"From the perspective of the video, the camera was inside the hotel room, which shouldn't be there."

Zhou Ke's tone was very anxious, and he seemed incoherent, or even completely desperate.

If this video is verified...
That would completely prove that all the information you submitted was false and forged!
This violates criminal law and carries a criminal penalty; you will be held responsible and could go to jail!

and so.

He panicked.

Zhou Ke was completely panicked!
"The defendant's evidence is questionable; I hereby apply."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Xu Liang immediately interrupted.

"Your Honor, we have one witness who we can summon!"

Xu Liang bluntly interrupted the speaker.

Logically speaking, interrupting someone's speech should at least result in a warning, and repeated interruptions could even lead to expulsion from the court!
But Zhao Yi couldn't care less about that at the moment.

"Where are the witnesses?!" he asked routinely.

Xu Liang did bring a witness with him before he came.

The court was aware of the matter, but had no idea what the other party was there to testify to.

Looking at the present
This person is indeed important!

"The witness is already waiting in the waiting room, and the presiding judge can summon him at any time!" Xu Liang said.

Zhao Yi didn't waste any more time. He leaned forward slightly, getting a little closer to the microphone.

"Bring the witnesses into the courtroom!"

A sound reached everyone's ears.

Not long after.

The main door to the side of the courtroom was slowly pushed open.

A slightly sleazy, overweight man appeared before everyone with a bitter expression.

He walked shakily to the witness stand.

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

Where did this person come from?!
