The court trial system in this article refers to the common law system, namely the Anglo-American law system and the non-continental law system.
The case of Qi Mian's arson and homicide opened for the first time and was open for trial. Various media and the masses squeezed the gate of the court imperviously.
When Zhen Yi went in, the crowd was surging:
"Under the fact that the evidence has been determined, should lawyer Zhen defend the criminal innocent?"
"Where did lawyer Zhen put the deceased?"
"Does Mr. Zhen, as the suspect's lawyer, know the truth?"
"Do you believe in the innocence of the suspect, or do you know that he murdered and wanted to acquit him?"
Zhen Yi was wearing sunglasses, expressionless, and walked inside with the help of security guards.
Some people scolded and others, excited like Qi Miao was his daughter, his wife.
Zhen Yi turned a deaf ear, Jiang Jiang and Zhen Yi were too long to get used to it; Yang Zi rarely encountered such a situation and blushed with shame.
Today's court hearing on the 1st, while waiting outside the door, Jiang Jiang suddenly asked Zhen Yi:
"Sister Yi, do you believe Qi Mian?"
"I don't know, but I can only do it the way I believe. It's a last resort." Zhen Yi told the truth that after Song Yi, she couldn't believe the client anymore, but this was her profession.
Behind him came Yin Duo's powerful voice: "Zhen Yi, do you need me to cheer you up?"
"Prosecutor Yin." Zhen Yi turned around and nodded slightly. She was about to confront the court, and she changed her voice, not calling her senior.
He smiled clearly: "Guilty of innocence. You have the courage to challenge the difficulty, I appreciate it."
Zhen Yixiao: "It's not courage, but utilitarian. If you win this lawsuit, I will become a famous barrister like Prosecutor Yin at that time! Such a good opportunity, of course, will not let go."
The words are very utilitarian, in fact, to cheer herself up, this is probably the last time in her life as a lawyer.
Yin Duo nodded: "I look forward to it."
At nine o'clock in the morning, the court will start on time.
The prosecutor's defender went to court, and the court was quiet.
Zhen Yi glanced at the auditorium, and at a glance saw the words and words, they were tall, and the posture was also very straight, and they became more prominent in the crowd.
Yan Xu looks like a child in the wrong place. Everyone else looked at the court. Only he lowered his head and sat beside his brother, playing the Rubik's Cube in his heart;
In fact, when Zhen Yi came in, he glanced at her, and after seeing that there were no graphics on her clothes, she bowed her head with no interest.
Words calmly looked at Zhen Yi's direction, which made her feel more power.
All the people stood up, and the presiding judge and judges entered the court. After the court reported all the preparations and the presence of the personnel, the presiding judge announced the hearing and Qi Mian took the defendant.
The presiding officer questioned Qi Mian according to the procedure, and then introduced the composition of the collegiate bench of the judge. After proclaiming the rights and obligations of the prosecutor of the defender, Yin Duo, the prosecutor, read the indictment.
Soon, officially entered the prosecution and defense link.
Prosecutor Yin questioned Qi Mian.
Zhen Yi's eyes were fastened, her heart beating fast.
She knew Yin Duo's power and stood on the opposite side for the first time, not knowing who won or lost.
Yin Duo: "Qi Mian, do you disagree with the charges in the indictment?"
"Yes." Qi Mian was slightly excited, just to explain that I did not kill, but Zhen Yi's words sounded in his ear:
One said one, not asking or not answering, rather speaking less than answering more. Even if the situation may seem unfavorable, it should not be said much. Because people are anxious, they will say the wrong thing.
She also said: You control yourself and leave the rest to me!
Qi Mian shut his mouth restrainedly.
Yin Duo knew that Qi Mian was in a hurry, and originally prepared him to say that I did n’t kill anyone, so he took the risk of misleading and said,
I did n’t ask you what was guilty,
making him anxious and chaotic. This did not happen.
Next: "Did you kill Qi Miao?"
"No."
"In another way, did Qi Miao burn you to death?"
Zhen Yi trained Qi Mian on this question. He was disdainful at the time and asked: "Is there a difference between these two problems?" Zhen Yi calmly said: "If you think your purpose is to set fire, Qi Miao is just collateral damage, these two The problem is quite different. "
Therefore, at this moment, Qi Mian did not give Yin Duo the opportunity to speak, and answered briefly: "No."
"Have you been to the scene during the incident?"
"Yes."
"How many times have you been?"
"twice."
"What are you doing for the first time?"
"I heard Qi Miao calling for help, and I went to see it."
"Describe the situation at that time."
"The elevator sank, she couldn't get up, let me save her." Qi Mian was ridiculed at that time, and quarreled with her, but Zhen Yi refused to let him mention, saying that the prosecutor would hold on, and created jurors' anger Under the impression of impulse to kill.
"You didn't save?"
"I didn't think so at first."
"Why? Because you hate her and want her to die?"
Qi Mian has not answered yet, Zhen Yi protested: "No, the words are misleading!"
"The objection is valid. Prosecutor, please come up with relevant evidence." The presiding officer said.
Yin Duo nodded and applied to play the recording. In the audio, Qi Mian gritted his teeth: "Qi Miao, I warn you, if you dare to hurt me again, I will kill you!"
The tone was too fierce, and someone whispered in court.
"quiet!"
"Prosecutor, please continue to ask questions."
"Qi Mian, did you say this paragraph?"
"Yes." He shrugged uncomfortably.
"Do you want to kill Qi Miao?"
"I don't want to," he said with restraint.
"Then why do you say this?"
"Furious words."
"Seeing Qi Miao falling into the elevator, you splashed flammable liquids of paint and gasoline on her?"
"No."
Yin Duo was not surprised, because Qi Mian's confession did not admit to splashing flammable liquids.
He took a screenshot of the monitor: "The monitor photographed the suspect's shoes, which matched your dark sneakers. We can understand that it is you who appears on the monitor and throws something down the elevator?"
"Yes."
"Then I ask again, did you splash flammable liquid on Qi Miao?"
"No."
"So what did you splash?"
"water."
"Water?" This was completely unexpected to Yin Duo.
"Water, I splashed water at the time."
The audience was in an uproar.
Yin Duo's speech blank for a few seconds:
"Why are you splashing water?"
"As you heard before, Qi Miao and I are very different. When I saw her fall into the elevator, I wanted to teach her to make her ugly, so I poured water on her." Convincing.
Yin Duo did not ask him: why it would be ignited later.
Because he knows, Qi Mian will answer according to Zhen Yi: this is what the police should investigate, and you ca n’t hold the crime on me because you ca n’t find the prisoner.
He asked, "What are you doing for the second time?"
"I think it's enough to tease, she should be rescued."
"Are you going to save her? What happened?"
"I saw that she was on fire and it was scary. I was scared and ran away."
"Not your fire?"
"No."
"Why didn't you call the police?"
"I was scared, but I didn't expect it."
At the beginning, Qi Mian said to Zhen Yi, "People must be dead, and it's useless to call the police for fire fighting." This answer was rejected by Zhen Yi. She said: You are right to think so, but you say it is death.
"Qi Mian, the witness saw you running out with a lighter, how do you explain?"
"I do not have."
"Do you mean witnesses are lying?"
"In short, I don't."
Yin Duo pondered for a moment, staring at Qi Mian like an eagle, but finally smiled: "My question is here first."
Qi Mian exhaled with relief, but Zhen Yi couldn't relax. She knew Yin Duo hadn't exerted herself yet.
Next, Zhen Yi asked Qi Mian. She tried to present another possibility to the people present: Qi Mian splashed water, but a third person poured paint and gasoline while Qi Mian left.
And Yin Duo's cross-examination of witnesses gave the impression that the witnesses were honest and credible, and the evidence was conclusive.
Everyone's judgment fell on both sides.
Zhen Yi ignored the occasional whispering in the audience and was highly concentrated. Time passed by one minute and one second, the court prosecution proceeded in an orderly manner, and the undercurrent surged. Soon she came to cross-examine the witnesses.
The first is Xiao Zhang, a hotel employee. When facing Yin Duo's question, she claimed to see Qi Mian coming out of the corner before changing shifts.
Zhen Yi: "Why are you impressed with Qi Mian?"
"Because there are no guest rooms on the corner, and the stairwell is also being renovated, no one will come from there."
Zhen Yi smiled: "Qi Mian just came out, you just saw, I can understand that you are very competent, have you been paying attention to the situation in the guest room corridor?
Xiao Zhang was praised and relaxed: "We must always pay attention to what the guests need."
Zhen Yi nodded and smiled slightly: "At 3 o'clock, you saw Qi Mian walked back to the room from the corner. Did he see it when he walked from the room to the corner?"
"This ..." Xiao Zhang couldn't cope a little, "I, I saw it."
"But your confession didn't mention this to the police."
"I don't think it matters."
"Okay, when you saw Qi Mian walking towards the corner, why didn't you remind him that there was no way to go there?"
"This ..." Xiao Zhang couldn't answer, Yin Duo protested: "No, the question has nothing to do."
The presiding judge nodded: "Defender, please state the relevance of your question."
Zhen Yi asked Jiang Jiang to submit the employee manual and photos: "The manual mentioned that employees should remind guests of warning signs, such as no smoking, such as a heavy machine room, and for example ..." She took a photo of the hotel's corner, "The wall Of employees ’elevators and stairwells. That day, the stairwell was under renovation."
The presiding judge dismissed Yin Duo: "No objection."
Zhen Yi turned to look at Xiao Zhang, who lowered his head and rubbed his hands:
"You said at the beginning that because no one came from the corner, you were impressed by Qi Mian. But why didn't you remind you when you saw the guests passing by the corner?"
Xiao Zhang was a little flustered, breathing quickly, and said: "I remembered correctly, I didn't see him walk past, only saw him come out."
Zhen Yi pressed step by step: "Remembered wrong? Is it possible that you all remembered wrong, you did not see him come out at all?"
Yin Duo: "No, no reasoning!"
The presiding judge: "The opposition is valid."
It is enough to influence the jurors.
Zhen Yi changed the question:
"Excuse me, after seeing Qi Mian coming out from there, did you go to see it?"
"where to?"
"Go to Qi Mian's room and go to the corner to see the situation?"
"No, no." Xiao Zhang was puzzled.
"Are you sure?" Zhen deliberately repeated.
"No, because there is nothing special about it." Xiao Zhang panicked.
Zhen Yi nodded again: "Do you remember to see Qi Mian's specific time?"
"Yes. 3 pm."
"Why is it so accurate?"
"Because it's my shift time."
"The monitor shows that Qi Mian splashed something into the elevator at 2:59:10. So, it coincides with the time he left after splashing."
"Yes. I saw him at that time."
"Oh," Zhen Yi curled her lips. This smile was called Xiao Zhangru sitting on the needle felt. She didn't understand why the lawyer clearly looked familiar and why she always attacked suddenly.
And her next question almost called her away:
"After Qi Mian splashed the water, didn't you hear Qi Miao scream?"
Xiao Zhang's eyes widened.
Zhen Yi suddenly changed her face and spoke quickly:
"I've seen your testimony, you didn't mention this. If you saw Qi Mian coming, why didn't you hear Qi Miao calling, why didn't you check it in the past? Miss Zhang, did you really see it? ? Or did you hear that you did n’t rescue in the past? Then your job can be negligent ... "
"Again ..." Yin Duocai spoke,
You can wait for the presiding judge to judge, and become more stern:
"Or, in fact, you didn't see or hear it at all, because you handed over in advance, but you were afraid of being held accountable by the supervisor, so you have to say that you saw my client come out of the corner!"
Xiao Zhang was pale, unable to speak.
Zhen Yi's hurried questions still echoed fiercely in the hall, and the court was silent.
Yang Zi sat aside, intuition that all goose bumps came out.
"The prosecution objected to invalidation." The presiding judge pushed his glasses and squinted at Zhen Yi. "Please defenders to abide by the rules of the court."
"Yes." Zhen Yi nodded, "I finished asking the question of witness No. 1."
"I ..." Xiao Zhang blushed anxiously, but Zhen Yi had already given her the opportunity to speak, and she was led away from the witness stand by the guide.
What Zhenyi wants is this effect, which does not require Xiao Zhang ’s excuse, so that the jurors suspect she is lying, it is enough.
The second witness is Xiao Wang. She saw Qi Mian running around the corner and returned to the room in a panic at about 3:03, and soon hurried out of the room and left the hotel.
Zhen Yi has a casual tone, like chatting, as if the arrogant and fierce woman was not her just now: "When the police gave you a testimony, you said you saw Qi Mian at about 3:03."
"Yes."
"Why is time so precise?"
"Because I went to work at 3:05, but I was a minute or two ahead of schedule, and I just saw Qi Mian running out of the corner."
"After that, you checked the situation and found a fire. Then, you called the police."
"Yes."
"The testimony said that you also saw Qi Mian running out of the room panic and leave the hotel?"
"Yes."
Zhen Yi continued peacefully: "Please state the time sequence of these three things. Check the situation and see Qi Mian ran out of the corner into the room and Qi Mian ran out of the room and left the hotel."
Xiao Wang replied effortlessly: "Seeing him run into the room and out again, then I went to check the situation."
Zhen Yi seemed to inadvertently ask: "Why didn't you go to check when he ran into the room, but only to check when he left?"
"Me" Xiao Wang froze for a moment, and responded extremely quickly. "He came out immediately after he entered the room."
"Well, you saw him running into the room at 3:03."
"Yes." Xiao Wang wondered how she asked repeated questions.
"Soon, Qi Mian ran out of the room and panicked the underground passengers to leave by elevator."
"Yes."
"Then you go to check the situation and call the police."
"Yes." Xiao Wang answered just now, unable to change the answer.
Zhen Yi walked to the table, picked up a piece of paper, and handed it to Xiao Wang: "This is the image of the staff elevator and passenger elevator, 3: 2: 28, the staff elevator caught fire, 3:10:11, Qi Reluctantly go down from the passenger elevator. There is a time difference of 8 minutes in the middle. But according to your description, you are watching him run in and out. "
"I ..." Xiao Wang narrowed his eyes to see the image above, speechless, arguing, "No, I ..."
Zhen Yi raised her hand and stopped: "110 telephone records show that you are calling the police at 3:13, can I think that you actually saw Qi Mian running out at 3:10, not the fire 3 Around 3 minutes. "She inadvertently became angry.
"No." Xiao Wang was bluffed by her and messed up. "No, I saw Qi Mian running into the room when I was on duty. I did see him running in and out. It's just that I didn't think that time had passed. It's so long. "
"8 minutes, isn't it long? What are you doing? And, Qi Miao is in the fire, it will scream at first, why didn't you hear it?"
Sweat oozed from Xiao Wang's head, silently.
Zhen Yi forced to ask: "Miss Wang, please answer my question, what were you doing?"
All eyes in the courtroom were focused, and everyone seemed to be pressing.
Xiao Wang's face was pale, his head lowered.
Zhen Yi's voice was raised once: "8 minutes passed, and you can't hear the voice outside. What are you doing?"
She took another picture and put it on the projector and asked aloud:
"This is a photo of your duty desk, there is a video player on the computer taskbar, and headphones are connected to the host. Is it normal for you to watch movies when you are on duty? You were also watching movies at that time, too fascinated so you did not get up in time Check it out? "
Her stern questioning still trembles beside everyone's ears in the courtroom. The needle fell and heard at the scene, but it was noisy at the same time.
"..." Xiao Wang fidgeted, "I really saw Qi Miancong ..."
"Miss Wang, just answer my question without extension." Zhen Yi interrupted her severely and interrupted the whispers in the courtroom.
Suddenly there was silence, and the air stretched its strings.
Xiao Wang shut up and said nothing.
"Miss Wang, please answer my question!" Zhen Yi was almost aggressive, grasping the witness stand in front of Xiao Wang with both hands, "Did you watch movies with headphones!"
"No! Misleading words!" Yin Duo stood up.
The chief judge said: "The objection is invalid, and the witnesses should answer the question of the defendant's lawyer directly."
"No ..." Xiao Wang just started, Zhen Yi reminded loudly, "Technicians can analyze what time your computer did, Miss Wang, do you want to do perjury ?!"
Xiao Wang couldn't lie anymore and bowed his head in shame: "Yes."
There was an uproar at the scene, and Zhen Yi took the opportunity to ask: "Can I think that you haven't actually seen Qi Mian?"
"No, I saw it!" Xiao Wang was anxious. "Although I didn't pass in time, I really saw him running out of the corner!"
Yin Duo: "No, no reasoning!"
The presiding judge looked to Zhen Yi: "The objection is valid, please ask the defender to ask more valid questions."
"Yes." Zhen Yi immediately politely asked the question again, "Do you see Qi Mian holding a lighter?"
"Yes." Xiao Wang sat upright, very sure, and said urgently, "I said that I saw Qi Mian at 3: 3 and 10 and didn't lie. It was because I was watching TV that I knew the exact time. ... "
"I said it's enough to answer the question, don't extend it."
Zhen Yi observes her look and knows that she has told the truth. There is not much to dig out in this regard. The more you ask, the more the judge will be convinced: Although she lied, she told the truth in this regard.
Her tone was too fierce, and Xiao Wang shrank silently into the chair.
Zhen Yi asked again: "Do you see Qi Mian holding a lighter?"
"Yes."
"Describe."
"Metal, rectangular."
Zhen Yi nodded: "While you are serving in a hotel, will you occasionally see guests using lighters?"
"meeting."
"Which kind of lighter do the guests entering and leaving your hotel usually use?"
"It's all upscale."
Zhen Yi smiled: "I can think that most of them are metal, rectangular?"
Xiao Wang froze for a moment, his voice low: "... Yes."
"Is that possible? You actually didn't see a lighter, but because of inertial thinking, you thought you saw a lighter."
"No." Xiao Wang said sharply.
"No!"
Zhen Yi was silent for a while and changed the question: "Miss Wang, when I showed you the evidence just now, you squinted several times. May I ask, do you have mild myopia?"
"Yes." Xiao Wang lowered his eyes.
Zhen Yi looked at it and saw at a glance: "While you are watching a movie at close range, you can see Qi Mian at a long distance. Can you see the lighter in his hand?"
Not waiting for Xiao Wang to answer, Yin Duo protested "against!"
Almost at the same time, Zhen Yi turned to look at the presiding judge, bowing: "I finished the question for the second witness."
There was a lot of talk in the audience.
"quiet!"
Xiao Wang left the court worriedly.
When Zhen Yi returned to his position, he glanced at Yin Duo, he was not in a hurry, he gave her a thumbs-up, and she controlled it with ease;
In the auditorium, the words and expressions are still not interested or bored;
Yan Xu bowed his head to tinker with his cube,
Zhen Yi saw him recover the Rubik's Cube in a few seconds, and mess it up again in a few seconds, like a robot. Self-entertainment, not boring at all.
