Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!
Chapter 274 A Trickling Angle
Shi Tiesheng once wrote a passage about me and the Temple of Earth.
As a child, he found a real gun, and after firing it, the bullet hit him right between the eyebrows when he was thirty or even older.
In the context of the future internet, this would be... a boomerang.
The current situation of the case.
The word "boomerang" is the perfect description!
A month and a half ago, Zhu Dali murmured a sentence in court... Now, like a boomerang, it came back precisely and hit the very carefully crafted defense!
"Defendant, do you have anything to say in your defense?!"
From his seat as the agent, Xu De's eyes narrowed, his sharp gaze sweeping across the air as he stared intently at his opponent, with whom he had been locked in a three-month-long struggle.
You're saying Sun Hu didn't kill the supervisor Huang Chengwei?
Let's use the death of journalist Wang Han as a countermeasure!
What? You're saying Wang Han wasn't killed by Sun Hu, but by Wu Tao, a traitor who killed Wang Han himself? As for why he took photos and took the body away...
This has nothing to do with Sun Hu!?
Or perhaps the other person enjoys taking photos and couldn't resist the novelty of a camera?
Was taking the body to cover up the case?
As for buying his life? Forget about it! They say that taxi was too cheap, only 4.7, and even if it were sold third-hand, it probably wouldn't even be 4, maybe 3 at most?
And according to what we know, the scrap dealer only needed to pay 2 for it!?
2 yuan is incredibly cheap. Human life is cheap, especially the life of the poor, but... even if it's cheap, there has to be a limit!
Even if you cripple someone and send them to beg, the other party will still earn far more than 2!
But the words came back again.
Zhu Dali... just happened to say directly that three years ago, there was such a worthless life in Yanzhou City!
"The defendant."
"This statement was made a month ago, on June 15th."
"At that time, the police were unaware of the two cases involving Huang Chengwei and Wang Han, nor had they found the taxi worth only 4.7 yuan."
"Then I'd like to ask... how did your client find out about this in advance without any prior information?"
Xu De didn't stop talking. He stared intently at the other person, ignoring the sight of the other person clenching their hands and breathing rapidly.
Another round of heated debate ensued!
"Was it just a casual remark? Or...did you already know?!"
The moment those words were spoken.
Everyone present immediately realized the seriousness of the situation and turned their attention to the defendant's seat.
After a moment's thought, the audience suddenly opened their eyes, realized something, and gasped.
"Oh, right... I watched the court hearing on the 15th. Although I didn't hear that sentence, the published case details definitely didn't include anything about Wu Tao!"
"People are most likely to tell the truth when they're on the verge of a breakdown, especially when there's no prior information and the topic suddenly veers off to something else..."
"Wait, why do I have a feeling... this lawyer is deliberately leading us astray?"
"First, they start with a bunch of vague statements, like killing Wang Han because the other party witnessed the killing of Huang Chengwei, and then gradually steer the conversation to this point... Once this point is made, the previously stated vague statements instantly become 'well-founded'!"
"Hmm~ This isn't right, it hasn't even been five minutes since I asked that question..."
"..."
In the audience.
Some reporters sensed something was off, and their gazes toward Xu De gradually turned horrified, their expressions changing.
Reverse speculation?
First, two false guesses are presented, then an objective piece of information is given. Immediately afterwards, this objective piece of information reverses and "verifies" the previous two guesses!
Zhu Dali knew about the lowly life that happened three years ago, which means that Wu Tao was bribed.
If Wu Tao was bribed, then Wang Han, whom he killed, most likely had some leverage over Sun Hu that could be used to kill him.
The only thing that could potentially be used against someone is the content of the filming. If the content is so dangerous that it could be murder, it would be far more serious than just injury!
Reverse dialectics!?
"This...this doesn't make sense. That defense lawyer only said that three minutes ago...how could he have thought of so much in just three minutes!?"
Someone's eyes twitched, and they couldn't help but gasp.
In three minutes, a series of interconnected arguments can be made, allowing for both accusations and attacks on the opposing lawyer...
Is this something you can come up with in three minutes?!
But...that's the reality. No matter how much you question it, the above has already happened. Unless Xu De stole a heavily guarded briefcase before the trial to prepare in advance, otherwise...
He listened and thought for three minutes and then gave his answer.
Thinking of this, everyone held their breath and turned their attention back to the trial area.
......
On the judge's bench.
The three judges narrowed their eyes and whispered to each other thoughtfully.
"When Yang Jianjun was in charge, was this sentence ever mentioned before?"
The judge standing next to Presiding Judge Zhao De asked the court clerk in a low voice.
The clerk quickly investigated, then hesitated.
"There should be some. When Zhu Dali had a mental breakdown during the trial on the 15th, his words were very unclear, so the record is incomplete..."
Everything said in court will be recorded by the court clerk.
But Zhu Dali... the other party was truly in a state of mental collapse at the time, his words were full of sobs and tears, and the clerk had to record everything without missing a single word, which was really difficult for him.
"Anything blurry is fine."
The judge nodded and looked away.
See here.
Presiding Judge Zhao De did not speak again, but bypassed lawyer Yan Mi and turned his gaze directly to the judges' seat.
He narrowed his eyes, his long, slender phoenix eyes gleaming as he stared intently at Zhu Dali.
"The defendant is Zhu Dali!"
In the defendant's seat.
When he was suddenly mentioned, Zhu Dali instinctively shuddered, and fear showed on his face.
"I...I'm here..." Zhu Dali swallowed hard.
Presiding Judge Zhao De asked directly, "Is what the civil litigation representative said true?"
"Please explain what you meant by what you said during the court hearing on the 15th?"
Two questions fell.
Zhu Dali was already extremely nervous. He swallowed hard, looking somewhat at a loss, his face filled with panic.
He mumbled, "Yes...yes?"
"I...I don't remember."
I don't remember...
A month and a half ago, I casually said something, and from a realistic and objective point of view, it is indeed possible that I don't remember it.
The moment those five words fell.
In the dock.
Yan Mi, who had been clenching his fists tightly and whose palms were sweaty, suddenly relaxed.
The other party's answer wasn't great, but... it was enough to get past the interrogation in court.
Thinking of this, Yan Mi immediately spoke up.
"Your Honor, we have an objection!"
"Regarding what the agent said, I remember the court hearing on June 15th, and during the time period mentioned by the other party... the defendant Zhu Dali's mental state was clearly abnormal."
"And what a person says when they are having a mental breakdown—can that be considered credible?"
When a person is on the verge of a breakdown, their words are extremely credible.
However, it's not entirely impossible that there's no possibility of forgery.
Therefore, when courts collect confessions or related evidence, they often require that the person making the confession be in a mentally sound state, rather than in a state of mental breakdown.
"this......"
Judge Zhao paused, lost in thought, clearly considering the credibility of these words.
Upon seeing this, Yan Mi immediately did not allow everyone to think about the issue too much.
at this time......
He then raised his third question!
In other words... this is the one of the three knives specifically designed to target Xu De!
Thinking of this.
Yan Mi's eyes narrowed instantly, all the tension from before vanished, and his gaze, like a blade, swept towards the agent's seat.
"Your Honor, our statement is not yet finished!"
"First, I request the court to punish the plaintiff's legal representative for abruptly interrupting my speech, either by expelling them from the court or by issuing a warning!"
"Secondly, there's... a third question!"
"In this case, in our view, the prosecution's indictment contains obvious flaws and defects, which could very likely lead to a falsified chain of evidence!"
The tone suddenly became more serious.
These words were spoken.
The three prosecutors in the prosecution dock, who had been pondering, paused for a moment.
Immediately afterward, Prosecutor Yue Feng's eyes flashed with annoyance as he stared at Yan Mi, suppressing his anger, and sternly said:
"Where is the supporting evidence?"
To attack the indictment rashly is to immediately accuse the chain of evidence of being false...
It's important to understand that falsehood and omission are two different concepts!
In most cases, the defense of the defendant's innocence is based on the argument that the chain of evidence is flawed or has significant omissions.
It would be good if it were meticulous, but it's all fake from the start...
Could it be that the other side believes the prosecutor is fabricating evidence and making malicious charges?
If this is confirmed... it won't be as simple as a slip of the tongue; the three prosecutors will be charged with perjury!
"There is supporting evidence."
The lawyer took a deep breath, ignoring the other party's angry glare.
With things having come to this point, he had no choice but to take a gamble!
"Your Honor, this is all the information we collected a week before the trial."
Then, Yan Mi pulled out several more documents from his briefcase.
"According to the description in the indictment."
"On July 1, 2003, the Yanzhou police received an anonymous tip-off call."
"The main content of the call was reporting the deaths of Huang Chengwei and Wang Han three years ago."
"It was because of this phone call that the police found Wang Han's body, which led to the consolidation of the two cases and the indictment filed by the prosecutor."
They meticulously extracted the information they had in batches.
Upon closer inspection, all of these people were new faces, people I had never seen before in court.
In other words, this is...
A surprise court hearing?!
He's launching an evidence raid!
In an instant, everyone in the room frowned.
Yan Mi was clearly aware of the emotions of everyone present, and without any hesitation, he blurted out the rest of the story.
"The body of the victim, Wang Han, was found in the ancestral cemetery of the suspect, Wu Tao."
"According to the investigation, the police believe that Wu Tao buried Wang Han here to cover his tracks and avoid being discovered. Therefore, over the past three years, Wu Tao... including Wu Tao's family, has been digging him up again."
"Until July 1st, the police re-excavated the grave!"
"but......"
As he spoke, Yan Mi paused for a moment, then suddenly pulled out a photograph from his hand.
The photo clearly shows police officers standing next to a grave mound, taking pictures of the "video" that was unearthed!
In the grave, in addition to the body, the police also unearthed a sealed bag containing two photos and a camera memory card.
Judging from the age of the photos and the soil at the gravesite...
"Even before the police arrived, between June 20th and July 1st, Wang Han's grave had already been dug up by another group of people!"
Yan Mi's voice was loud and clear, as if he was trying to regain his footing with his voice.
"In other words..."
"Besides the official sources, someone else dug up the body! After digging it up, they reburied the grave, concealing all clues along the way!"
"Presiding Judge, Judges."
"In all this time, who can guarantee that the crime scene hasn't been tampered with?"
"Anonymous informants can not only leave information buried in graveyards, but they can also 'artificially modify' other places, whether they exist or not!"
His words were logically sound and easy to understand.
The three prosecutors paused.
Yes.
Before the police dug up the grave, the mound had indeed been dug up.
The fact that a third party tampered with the crime scene is a major taboo for the authorities, because you never know whether the clues you uncover are genuine or deliberately left behind to mislead.
Agent's seat.
Lin Yue's body tensed slightly, her slender fingers clenched, and her breathing became somewhat rapid.
Xu De, standing beside him, tilted his head slightly, squinting at Yan Mi, but didn't interrupt.
Of course, the other party was also wary of him "interrupting" this move.
Therefore, when he speaks at this moment, his speaking speed is quite rapid!
"In summary."
"Your Honor, our side is not questioning whether the prosecutor fabricated evidence, but rather..."
"Questioning the person who called the police on July 1st!"
"The other party may very well have altered the crime scene for their own 'personal gain'!"
"Furthermore, this is by no means empty talk on our part."
talking.
Yan Mi pointed to the 'memory card' in the photo.
"This is the memory card from the victim Wang Han's camera."
"Judging from the signs of decay, this card was likely stored inside the camera for several years, and the camera itself was exposed to the elements for many years, which is why it ended up like this."
"But...only a card was found at the crime scene; the camera it contained had completely disappeared!"
"This is evidence! This is evidence!"
"But the other party insisted on taking the camera, which was one of the 'evidence' items, away with them."
"Isn't this enough to reasonably speculate that the anonymous whistleblower acted maliciously?"
If you have a SIM card, you need a camera.
Furthermore, the second photo taken by Wu Tao showing Wang Han dead in the pit also shows that there was indeed a camera three years ago.
that's the truth.
However... this camera was broken long ago, and it didn't even have the most basic function of ejecting the memory card.
Left with no other choice, Wang Chao could only adopt the most conservative and least damaging method: disassemble the entire camera, leaving the memory card in a flat state, and then remove the memory card completely.
After all this is done.
The camera couldn't be put back in, and there might be fingerprints on that fragment, so... the evidence consisted of only the most crucial memory card, which was put back in, while the other parts were taken away.
Unexpectedly, this point was seized upon!
so......
"In summary."
Yan Mi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"We request the identification of the whistleblower who made the anonymous report to the Yanzhou City Police on July 1, 2003, regarding this case..."
"Initiate an investigation!!!"
