    【Not Guilty Defense-17】

    Hearing that Li Huijuan was going to testify at the scene, Zhu Xiaoting's eyes suddenly lit up - the four people in the 703 dormitory, her favorite roommate is Li Huijuan. Li Huijuan is a top student in the School of Biological Sciences. She receives scholarships every year. She has an independent personality and is a very self-disciplined girl.

    Zhu Xiaoting turned her head to look at the door, and saw a pretty girl wearing a white shirt and black skirt being brought to court by the staff. Her face was very calm, and she walked to the witness stand. it is good. Although she is the same age as Zhu Xiaoting, she looks much more mature in her "sex" dress as a working woman.

    She nodded politely towards the tribunal and looked at Yue Xingwen calmly.

    Yue Xingwen stepped forward and asked, "You are Li Huijuan, a student in bed 703-4 of Beishan University's female dormitory, a senior at the School of Biological Sciences, and currently working as an intern at Beishan Jinxin Biopharmaceutical Group, right?"

    Li Huijuan said, "That's right."

    "Xie Xiangqin from the academy, 'Mao'yue, and Zhu Xiaoting from the School of Translation, are all your roommates?"

    "yes."

    "On October 26, the day Xie Xiangqin died, weren't you in the 703 dormitory?"

    "Well, I started an internship in the company on October 7th, and our company provides accommodation for the interns, so I haven't lived in the school dormitory recently. I was not there on the day of the crime, and I don't know what happened."

    Yue Xingwen nodded at her and continued to ask: "You two lived in a dormitory for 4 years, how is your relationship? Whoever has a better relationship with whom of the four, and who has a conflict with whom, can you elaborate? ?"

    Li Huijuan said: "Xie Xiangqin and 'Mao' Yue are both from the academy. They are classmates and have a relatively close relationship. Zhu Xiaoting and I are in different colleges and were put in dormitory 703 by the logistics office. The usual time for class is different from theirs. The relationship between the three is not close, Zhu Xiaoting and Xie Xiangqin quarreled several times."

    Yue Xingwen concluded: "That is to say, Xie Xiangqin and 'Mao' Yue have the best relationship among the four people in the 703 dormitory; you are Cubic, and you are not close to anyone; Xie Xiangqin and Zhu Xiaoting have the worst relationship, and there have been many quarrels. ,Is it right?"

    Li Huijuan: "Yes."

    Yue Xingwen: "When Zhu Xiaoting and Xie Xiangqin were arguing, would 'Mao' Yue subconsciously stand on Xie Xiangqin's side and reject Zhu Xiaoting with her because of the same and better relationship with Xie Xiangqin?"

    Li Huijuan fell silent.

    This question of Xingwen is very important.

    It is also very common for two people to hold a group in the girls' dormitory. Once Li Huijuan can confirm that "Mao" Yue and Xie Xiangqin have a closer relationship and reject Zhu Xiaoting together with Xie Xiangqin, then the credibility of "Mao" Yue's testimony as an eyewitness will increase. A big discount - she is likely to deliberately throw dirty water on Zhu Xiaoting because she rejects Zhu Xiaoting!

    Offstage, the teammates all pricked up their ears and waited for the answer.

    Li Huijuan looked at Yue Xingwen and met the boy's calm and calm eyes.

    She took the test for a few seconds, and then said, "Mao Yue did often help Xie Xiangqin to say that when Zhu Xiaoting accidentally broke Xie Xiangqin's mug, Xie Xiangqin scolded Zhu Xiaoting in person, while Mao scolded Zhu Xiaoting in person. I cried, I went back to the dormitory to persuade me to fight, and finally they asked Zhu Xiaoting to write a guarantee letter in front of me to lose money."

    Audience in the auditorium: "..."

    Yue Xingwen asked in a low voice, "Xie Xiangqin and Zhu Xiaoting have quarreled many times, and 'Mao'yue often helps Xie Xiangqin by saying that the relationship between 'Mao'yue and Zhu Xiaoting is also very bad?"

    Li Huijuan didn't hesitate this time, she nodded and said, "Yes."

    Yue Xingwen looked at the presiding judge: "Mao is the first witness in this case, because the deceased Xie Xiangqin was her friend, and the defendant Zhu Xiaoting had a very bad relationship with her. When he was holding the knife, out of disgust for Zhu Xiaoting, he subconsciously shouted 'Zhu Xiaoting killed someone'!"

    Yue Xingwen paused and said calmly: "People often have subjective emotions in their judgments about what they have seen and heard, especially when the person who made the mistake is someone they hate, they will subconsciously magnify the mistake. This is the so-called 'falling into the woods' mentality. "Mao" Yue has helped Xie Xiangqin to scold Zhu Xiaoting many times, but she has always disliked Zhu Xiaoting. Therefore, in the case of Xie Xiangqin's death, she insisted that she had witnessed Zhu Xiaoting's murder—her testimony was not valid. letter!"

    When the teammates in the audience heard this, they wished they could applaud Xingwen.

    The eyewitness "Mao" Yue is one of the key factors in whether Zhu Xiaoting can be convicted. Once her testimony becomes unreliable, then the possibility of Zhu Xiaoting being wronged will be greater.

    The court debate is like a scale, they have no solid evidence, they can only use a little bit of chips to tilt the scale in Zhu Xiaoting's side. The more chips in Zhu Xiaoting's favor, the higher the probability of Zhu Xiaoting's acquittal in the end!

    Lan Yarong and Yue Xingwen knew this well, so they racked their brains and prepared a lot of questions to reveal the doubts of this case.

    Sure enough, after Yue Xingwen finished speaking, the complainant frowned. He seemed to want to interrupt, but held back,

    Yue Xingwen continued to ask, "Based on what you know about Xie Xiangqin, what kind of person is she?"

    Li Huijuan said: "In my opinion, she is a beautiful and delicate girl. She has a very good family and usually pays attention to dressing. She has a little vanity. It is expensive to love to show off to us, but she loves nothing but her lips. Apart from showing off, I didn't do anything particularly bad, so I usually don't pay much attention to her."

    Yue Xingwen asked, "Are there many boys chasing her?"

    Li Huijuan thought about it and said, "She told us a lot. After all, she is very beautiful, and she can be regarded as a department flower in the college. No, she will be with Zou Yijia in the second semester of her sophomore year."

    Yue Xing Wen said: "After she was with Zou Yijia, did she mention that other boys were pursuing her?"

    Li Huijuan said: "Yes. This year, on her birthday, there was a boy who gave her a gift package of snacks. She took it back to the dormitory and shared it with us, showing off that it was given by the boy who was chasing her."

    Yue Xingwen said to the presiding judge, "Presiding judge, please allow the defense assistant to submit some photo evidence."

    The presiding judge nodded, Lin Manluo immediately stepped forward, opened the photos prepared in advance on the USB flash drive, and some photos of lipsticks, perfumes, etc. appeared on the big screen on the side of the court. The screenshots were posted on Xie Xiangqin's circle of friends.

    Yue Xingwen pointed to the photo and asked, "Did Xie Xiangqin say who gave her these things?"

    Li Huijuan nodded: "It was given by her boyfriend Zou Yijia. Zou Yijia especially likes to give her lipstick and perfume. There is a dressing table on her table, and all the cosmetics are collected by her boyfriend."

    Yue Xingwen glanced at Lin Manluo, and Senior Sister Lin immediately opened the next photo: "What about these?"

    There are several anime character "character" figures in the photo.

    Although these are simple dolls, they are actually very expensive, especially this kind of figure with exquisite shape and over 30 cm, which can easily sell for thousands of dollars.

    Li Huijuan was startled: "I don't know these, she didn't mention who sent it."

    Yue Xingwen changed the question and asked, "How is the relationship between Xie Xiangqin and Zou Yijia? Are there any quarrels?"

    Li Huijuan said: "On the surface, they have a very good relationship. Xie Xiangqin often shows affection in the circle of friends. No, on September 30 this year, I was going to the dormitory to pack my luggage because I was going to do an internship. , Xie Xiangqin yelled at Zou Yijia and said 'how can you doubt me' like that."

    "Are you sure the person who quarreled with her was her boyfriend Zou Yijia?"

    "Yes, I saw the caller ID on her mobile phone, which is Zou Yijia's picture."

    "What about the result of the quarrel?"

    "When she saw me coming, she threw a sentence to the other party, 'I'm too lazy to explain to you', and then hung up the phone and lay on the table crying. I thought it was a misunderstanding between young lovers, and I went to persuade her a few words."

    "What she said to Zou Yijia was—how can you doubt me, and don't bother to explain it to you." Yue Xingwen increased his tone, looking straight at Li Huijuan, "Are you sure you heard correctly?"

    "My memory is very good, what's more, this happened half a month ago, I can't remember it wrong."

    Yue Xingwen gave Lin Manluo a look, and Senior Sister Lin switched to the next photo.

    "Do you know this person?" Yue Xingwen asked with a smile.

    In the photo, a girl in anime costumes is standing next to the poster of the comic exhibition, smiling brightly at the camera. Her skin is very white, her face is beautiful, and her lips are red and moist, just like a delicate porcelain doll from a cartoon.

    "cosplay? I don't know much about it." Li Huijuan said.

    Lin Manluo immediately released the next photo, Yue Xingwen said, "What about her?"

    "This is Xie Xiangqin." Li Huijuan said affirmatively.

    The next one is a group photo of Xie Xiangqin and the "anime girl" just now.

    Li Huijuan looked at the photo with a puzzled face, and Yue Xingwen said: "From the photo, Xie Xiangqin has a very close relationship with this person, holding hands and back to back. Did she mention in the dormitory that she has a cosplay fan who likes anime? friend?"

    Li Huijuan shook her head: "I didn't mention it."

    Yue Xingwen pointed to the photo at the back: "Is this figure the same one that Xie Xiangqin put in the dormitory?"

    Li Huijuan looked at the doll in the photo and nodded, "It's the same model."

    Yue Xingwen: "Did she bring this figure back to the dormitory during the May Day period?"

    Li Huijuan said: "Yes, when I went back to the dormitory, I found a very cute doll on her table. I took another look. She said it was bought during May 1st."

    The plaintiff suddenly stood up and interrupted: "The defense lawyer's question is not directly related to this case, and he deliberately disturbed the audio-visual, please stop the meaningless questioning!"

    The presiding judge said: "The defense lawyers should be careful not to ask questions unrelated to the case."

    "Presiding Judge, these questions are closely related to this case." Yue Xingwen insisted, "Please allow us to invite the next witness, the president of Beishan University's animation club, Qi Xinyu, the answer will be revealed soon. ."

    The presiding judge thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said, "There are witnesses."

    Yue Xingwen thanked Li Huijuan, and she left, followed by another girl who was invited up.

    Qi Xinyu stood on the witness stand and saw Yue Xingwen in a suit in front of her. She was full of surprise - isn't this Jiang Pingce from the Mathematics Department? Why is he standing in court?

    Yue Xingwen added her as a friend at the time just to inquire about news, and casually made up that she was Jiang Pingce from the Mathematics College. I didn't expect this girl to become an important witness in the case. In order to avoid the other party's doubts, he didn't concentrate on answering the question, Yue Xingwen took the initiative to retreat, and whispered in Lan Yarong's ear: "Senior sister, come and ask this witness."

    Lan Yarong nodded, walked quickly to the witness on her heels, and asked with a smile, "Hello, Qi Xinyu, I'm Zhu Xiaoting's defense lawyer Lan Yarong. You are a member of the animation club of Beishan University. long, right?"

    Qi Xinyu quickly came back to her senses, her suspicious eyes retracted from Xingwen's face, she looked at the smiling female lawyer in front of her, nodded and said, "Yes."

    Lan Yarong pointed to the photo on the screen and asked, "Do you know this person?"

    Qi Xinyu followed her finger to look at the screen, and nodded quickly and said, "I know, he is Ji Xiaohui, a junior at the Translation College, a member of our animation club. He likes cosplay and often plays anime characters."

    Lan Yarong released another daily photo of Ji Xiaohui wearing men's clothing: "That is to say, the person who looked like a girl just now lived in 105, Building 5, the boys' dormitory. Zou Yijia's roommate, Ji Xiaohui? "

    Qi Xinyu nodded decisively: "Yes."

    There was an uproar!

    It took a long time for Just Yue Xingwen to set the stage, and both the presiding judge and the audience were at a loss.

    Xie Xiangqin once participated in the comic exhibition, took a close photo with a "beautiful girl", and also held the exquisite figure sent by the other party. What does this have to do with Xie Xiangqin's murder case? The complainant objected that these issues had nothing to do with the case, and everyone felt the same.

    Until the next witness came out and confirmed - it was a boy.

    Is it a boy? !

    On the big screen, there is a beautiful girl dressed like a porcelain doll on the left, and a handsome boy in a white shirt on the right. If you distinguish carefully, you can really see that the eyebrows and eyes are the same person. The contrast of such a picture is too fresh. There was a burst of discussion in the auditorium, and the onlookers were stunned. The presiding judge had to pick up the hammer again and knock it down: "Silence!"

    The place quieted down.

    Lan Yarong asked with a smile: "Ji Xiaohui likes men to dress up as women, and usually wears women's "sex" clothes in cosplays, so there is no sense of disobedience. Except for the people from your animation club, it is difficult for ordinary people to recognize him as a boy, right? ?"

    Qi Xinyu said: "Yes, he is the most powerful women's clothing boss in our animation club, and we girls are ashamed. When he wears women's clothing, unless he is particularly familiar, most people can't see it."

    The audience: "..."

    ******

    【Not Guilty Defense-18】

    Women's clothing boss, this word is like a thunderbolt thrown into the lake, making the already suspicious case more complicated. Even the complainant frowned at this time, no longer raised any objections, and seemed to want to listen.

    Lan Yarong continued to ask: "In the photo, is this comic exhibition where Xie Xiangqin and Ji Xiaohui took a group photo, is it the Beishan Firefly Comic Exhibition held at the Chengnan Convention and Exhibition Center on May 1 this year?"

    As the president of the animation club, Qi Xinyu can see the environment of this photo at a glance, and immediately said: "Yes, Beishan City will hold a firefly comic exhibition every May 1st, and Ji Xiaohui often goes to comic exhibitions of various corners. "Color" cos."

    "Xie Xiangqin is a classmate in your college. How is her personal relationship with Ji Xiaohui?"

    "I don't know this. I only know that Xie Xiangqin and Zou Yijia are boyfriend and girlfriend. They seem to have a good relationship. She didn't mention Ji Xiaohui to us, and Ji Xiaohui didn't mention that he knew Xie Xiangqin."

    "On the weekend of October 25-27, the college's beach barbecue event, you are the initiator, right?"

    "Yes, it's a party event initiated by our student union."

    "Why didn't Xie Xiangqin participate?"

    "She said she wasn't feeling well, so she didn't sign up."

    Lan Yarong smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your answer. Please allow us to call out the next witness."

    Onlookers: "..."

    There are too many witnesses for the defense, one after another?

    The presiding judge motioned the staff to open the door. The next person to appear is the dormitory aunt in Building 6 of the girls' dormitory. Lan Yarong returned to the defense table, and Yue Xingwen immediately took her place. Following the question just now, she continued to ask, "Hello, may I ask, are you the dormitory of Building 6 of the female dormitory of Beishan University?"

    Auntie said, "Yes."

    Yue Xingwen: "How long have you been the dormitory in Building 6?"

    Aunt: "Less than a year."

    "Then can you recognize all the girls in Building 6?"

    "This..." Auntie hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Building 6 has 10 floors in total, with 30 dormitories on each floor. There are thousands of people living in the whole building. I didn't call out every girl's name, but most of them It's still recognizable."

    Yue Xingwen nodded at Lin Manluo, and Senior Sister Lin immediately released a photo of Ji Xiaohui wearing everyday women's clothes: "Have you seen this 'girl'?" He deliberately emphasized the word "girl".

    The dormitory aunt said without hesitation, "See you."

    There was a neat pumping sound from the auditorium, and the onlookers widened their eyes in surprise. Even the complainant frowned and looked at the photo in disbelief.

    Yue Xingwen continued to ask, "Does she often go in and out of the girls' dormitory?"

    Auntie thought for a while and said, "I don't pay attention to the crowds usually, but she has a habit of coming back late and going out early on weekends. Once I stopped her and asked her why she went, she said I work outside, so I come back late."

    "On October 26th, from 4:00 to 5:30 in the morning, do you have any impressions of anyone entering or leaving the dormitory in Building 6?"

    The aunt shook her head awkwardly: "I was sleeping, I don't know what happened, I was woken up by screams."

    "In other words, during the time when Xie Xiangqin was murdered, you didn't know who was in or out of the dormitory building? At that time, the access control system of the dormitory building was broken, and the door could be opened with a slight push, right?"

    Auntie bowed her head, very ashamed: "Yes, my work is indeed negligent, I have written a review..."

    Yue Xingwen: "Thank you for your answer."

    He followed closely to look at the presiding judge and said, "I have the next witness."

    The next person to appear is Zhang Bin, a boy from the 105 dormitory.

    The boy's expression was a little dazed. He didn't know what happened at the court scene, and he didn't know why he had to testify in Xie Xiangqin's case. He originally thought that the lawyer would ask questions about the relationship between Zou Yijia and Xie Xiangqin. As soon as Xingwen opened his mouth, he asked, "Is Ji Xiaohui your roommate?"

    Zhang Bin was stunned for a moment: "Yes."

    Yue Xingwen: "Do you know that he joined the animation club and likes cos women's clothing. He is a big boss in women's clothing?"

    Zhang Bin looked shocked: "Women's clothes? I don't know! I only heard that he joined the animation club, but I didn't see him wearing women's clothes."

    "Is he very good at playing games?"

    "Indeed, he is the most powerful in our dormitory."

    "Xie Xiangqin is Zou Yijia's girlfriend. At Zou Yijia's request, you often take Xie Xiangqin to play games. Xie Xiangqin also got to know the three of you because of this, and added everyone's friends privately, right?"

    "That's right, she's relatively good at playing games, and the four of us usually take her with her."

    "On May 1st, you played games at school with your roommates Zhong Jian and Zou Yijia for a whole day?"

    "It seems so..." He scratched his head for a moment and confirmed, "That's right, it happened to be the beginning of the season, and we played qualifying together with three of us for a whole day in order to rush."

    "Ji Xiaohui wasn't in the dormitory that day?"

    "He said he had something to do, as if he was going to a comic convention."

    "Did Zou Yijia mention what his girlfriend was doing that day?"

    "Oh, he said, his girlfriend went to the movies with his best friend, we don't need to bring them, we'll play qualifying together with the three of us."

    Yue Xingwen released an intimate group photo of Xie Xiangqin and Ji Xiaohui holding hands on May 1.

    "Can you recognize this is your roommate Ji Xiaohui?"

    "...This woman, woman?" Zhang Bin was stunned, his mouth was so wide that he could swallow an egg, and he was shocked again, "Wait, didn't Xie Xiangqin go to the movies? Why are you with Ji Xiaohui, Zou Yijia is wearing a green hat?"

    His subconscious reaction made the audience finally sort out the unreasonableness of it!

    Xie Xiangqin told her boyfriend that she was going to the movies, but it turned out that she appeared at the comic exhibition. On the same day, Ji Xiaohui also appeared at the comic exhibition disguised as a woman. Her personal behavior was intimate, and she looked like a good girlfriend holding hands and taking pictures, but this "girlfriend" was actually Is it a man, a man and a woman are holding hands to take pictures? !

    What's even more frightening is that the dormitory aunt confirmed that Ji Xiaohui, who "disguised himself as a woman", returned late on weekends many times!

    Entered the girls' dormitory many times!

    A man is wearing women's clothes, in the girls' dormitory. Since everyone doesn't know he is a man, they won't be suspicious of him. If he secretly takes pictures of girls taking a bath... can't imagine it.

    Yue Xingwen motioned him to adjust his mood, and then asked: "On September 30, because Xie Xiangqin made a mistake in the game and caused you to lose, did Zou Yijia have a fierce quarrel with Xie Xiangqin?"

    Zhang Bin recovered from the shock of "one roommate was wearing a woman's dress" and "another roommate was wearing a cuckold", nodded and said stiffly: "Yes, his face was very bad that day, he took his mobile phone and went to the corridor outside to talk to Xie Xiangqin. After a long phone call, the voice sounded fierce, it should be a quarrel. After returning to the dormitory, he also told us that we don't need to bring Xie Xiangqin in the future."

    Yue Xingwen nodded at him, and continued, "Please bring out the last witness."

    Witnesses appeared in court one after another, and their dictation made the Xie Xiangqin case more and more suspicious.

    until the last one comes out.

    The bearded uncle smiled brightly, and Yue Xingwen asked directly, "You are the owner of the hardware store in front of the school. Can you see this person coming to distribute the keys?"

    A group photo of Xie Xiangqin and Zou Yijia appeared on the screen.

    Ban nodded: "Yes, this young couple came to my store to match the keys. The girl complained that her boyfriend lost her dormitory key and asked me to get a new one."

    "What was her boyfriend's reaction at that time?"

    "Apologize next to him and say that he was wrong. Go back and look for it again. Maybe he landed in the dormitory when he changed his clothes; the girl said impatiently, don't look for it, and get a new one."

    "You gave them a new key and gave it to this girl?"

    "Yes, 10 yuan a piece."

    Yue Xingwen nodded: "President, my question is over."

    The witnesses left, and the audience fell silent.

    Zhu Xiaoting's tears kept swirling in her eyes, but she held back her tears.

    The complainant frowned, as if trying to sort out his logic.

    Yue Xingwen looked at the presiding judge and said seriously and seriously: "My client, Zhu Xiaoting, is not the only suspect in the Xie Xiangqin case in dormitory 703. The keys to the dormitory 703 have been lost, and Zou Yijia and Ji Xiaohui may have held it in their hands. Hold the key; Zou Yijia and Xie Xiangqin once quarreled fiercely, mentioning words such as doubt and unwillingness to explain, saying that there is a deep misunderstanding between people. Ji Xiaohui and Xie Xiangqin have a close relationship. Ji Xiaohui has disguised himself as a woman many times into the girls' dormitory, and it is expensive to give to Xie Xiangqin Ji Xiaohui's mother was a medical student. He probably knew the structure of the human body and could pierce the heart artery with a single knife. After a detailed investigation, we believe that Zhu Xiaoting was framed and the murderer in this case was someone else. ."

    "The net is wide and wide, and there are no omissions. We believe that the law will definitely give the innocent people a way!"
