【Not Guilty Defense-11】

Yue Xingwen and Lan Yarong were discussing, and they saw the college students brought back to the police for questioning. One of the gentle boys was Chen Kaiming from the college; the other short-haired girl was pretty and pale, and was Chen Kaiming's girlfriend Lin Xuefei.

Yue Xingwen was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and asked, "Team Chen, who is this?"

Team Chen said, "Students from Beishan University brought them back for investigation."

Lan Yarong asked: "On the day of Liu Jiajia's death, did this person also go to the beach for a barbecue? Has the beach case progressed, confirming that my client, Zhu Xiaoting, is not a murderer?"

Team Chen said with a smile, "Sorry, the police's handling of the case is classified, and I can't reveal too much to you."

Seeing Team Chen escorted into the interrogation room, Yue Xingwen and Lan Yarong looked at each other.

On the way back to the law firm after leaving the police force, Lan Yarong said with doubt: "The police brought Chen Kaiming and Lin Xuefei, the suspects in the beach case, for questioning. Could it be that the police have already investigated the cyanide that poisoned Liu Jiajia? The source of potassium?"

Yue Xingwen said: "It should be. Liu Jiajia was poisoned and Xie Xiangqin was stabbed to death. The crime scenes of the cases are very different, and one is not the same person's pen. In addition, Zhu Xiaoting is an ordinary student of the translation college, it is difficult to get it. Cyanogen-potassium is a regulated drug, the police should not rashly regard the culprit of the beach case as Zhu Xiaoting, there is not enough evidence."

Lan Yarong nodded: "It makes sense, the beach case is just that Zhu Xiaoting's fingerprints appeared on the bottle, there are no witnesses, and there is no other physical evidence, which is not enough to convict Zhu Xiaoting. Just checking the source of the drug-object is easy to pinpoint. Fierce. So, the beach case is actually just "fascinating" and "confusing" us, increasing the difficulty of the investigation? The key is the dormitory case, right?"

Yue Xingwen said: "Well, although the police in this world don't do their best to solve the case and let us lie down and win, they won't be 'chaotic'. From the police's point of view, the evidence chain in the dormitory case is indeed very complete. We must find 703 as soon as possible. The last person in the dormitory, Li Huijuan, please try to ask her to testify in court if possible."

After Yue Xingwen and Lan Yarong returned to the law firm, they took the time to sort out the materials of Zhu Xiaoting's case and prepare for court defense.

In the usual criminal case process, the police arrest the suspect, investigate and collect evidence, submit it to the procuratorate for review, and then prosecute the case to the court in a procuratorate style. Usually, it takes about a month, and it is common for complex cases to be investigated for half a year.

Zhu Xiaoting's case went through the procuratorate's process so quickly. The library obviously deliberately accelerated the speed, making it difficult for candidates, and not giving them too much time to slowly search for evidence.

There are only a few days left before the court session, and the time is very tight.

Yue Xingwen quickly arranged in the group: "The four people in boyfriend Zou Jia's dormitory will be handed over to Ping Ce, Ke Shao and Xin Yan for investigation. Senior Brother Xu and Senior Brother Liu are at the hospital to find out the situation of the girls in the medical school. Pay close attention to whether Li Huijuan is back, we only have one day tomorrow, and the court will be held the day after tomorrow!"

Jiang Pingce asked, "What about the beach case? Don't the couples in the academy need to investigate?"

Yue Xingwen replied: "The police have brought the couple back from the academy for questioning. They must have checked the clues related to cyanide-potassium. We don't need to spend too much energy to check."

Lan Yarong said: "This case should be tried separately, not as a serial murder case. Zhu Xiaoting did not have a motive for killing Liu Jiajia, and the law of crime is also very different, which does not meet the conditions for a serial murder case to be combined."

Jiang Pingce said clearly: "In this way, Zhu Xiaoting will not bear a life on her body."

Ke Shaobin asked curiously, "On the day of the court session, the attorney on Zhu Xiaoting's side, only Senior Sister Lan can speak?"

Lan Yarong explained: "The court stipulates that a maximum number of defense lawyers can be entrusted to participate in court defense. I would like to ask Xingwen to assist me. Although Xingwen is not a professional lawyer, he has a clear logic and is a team of Hua'an University's defense team. Talent is also very good. We should go together, should we be more confident?"

Jiang Pingce first stood up to support: "I think Xingwen can."

Ke Shaobin said, "I also think that Xingwen and Senior Sister Lan have a better chance of winning!"

The approval of the senior sister made Yue Xingwen flattered: "Senior sister, I used to participate in college defenses, but I have never participated in court defenses!"

Lan Yarong smiled and said, "It's okay, in this world, you have a lawyer's qualification certificate. I'll give you an emergency training today to explain the rules of the court. We know enough about this case, we cooperate together, and it is easier to convince the judge than if I have a dry tongue alone."

Yue Xingwen just stopped rejecting: "Yes, then I will participate in the defense with Senior Sister Lan!"

Lan Yarong followed closely and arranged: "Man Luo, as an assistant lawyer, can sit next to the hearing and help us sort out some materials. The others, because you don't have a lawyer's qualification certificate, can't sit on the lawyer's seat, but can sit in the auditorium. "

Lin Manluo immediately agreed: "No problem, I'd rather take the data." When she was a student, she often helped Zhuo Feng compile data, and the data was very clear.

Yue Xingwen said: "Then it's arranged like this. Students who are not assigned tasks will go to help wherever they are missing. If you have any new clues and ideas, please communicate in the group at any time!"

The crowd started to get busy.

Yue Xingwen, Lan Yarong, and Lin Manluo only ate a bowl of instant noodles at noon that day. Lan Yarong gave people a lot of tips for court defense, such as when to interrupt the prosecution lawyer, and how to question the parties and witnesses. Wait, Yue Xingwen and Lin Manluo took notes while listening.

In the evening, the three stayed in the law firm to work overtime together.

Lan Yarong said: "There is a chance for a self-statement. Zhu Xiaoting is timid and introverted. We have to write her statement in advance, and we can't let her speak by herself. I'm afraid she will make a mistake when she gets nervous. , there is a logical loophole."

Lin Manluo asked, "If you read the manuscript directly, won't the judge think it's fake?"

Lan Yarong nodded and said, "That's right, Zhu Xiaoting recites the whole text the most, so she can memorize it thoroughly, plus some expressions of true feelings, so that the judge can easily be trusted."

Yue Xingwen took the initiative to take over the task: "I will write a speech tonight with Zhu Xiaoting's kiss, and Senior Sister Lan will revise it at the end. You have to prepare questions about Zhu Xiaoting and other witnesses in court. I'm afraid you will be too busy. Come."

Lan Yarong was relieved and said with a smile: "This is the best, hard work Xingwen!"

Yue Xingwen said: "It's okay, I often wrote speeches when I was in school."

Lin Manluo asked, "Which witnesses do we need? Zhuo Feng has no assignment, let Zhuo Feng and Zhang Xiaonian contact him."

Lan Yarong thought about it for a moment, then said: "'Mao' Yue is a witness for the prosecution. As a witness at the crime scene, she will definitely appear in court. We can just ask her directly. On our side, the uncle with the key, 703 The last person in the dormitory, Li Huijuan, was invited to court, and they are willing to appear in court the most!"

The three of them had been working overtime late at night before returning to their residence at the Xinghe Apartment together.

At the same time, students at school are also working overtime.

Xin Yan searched the Student Affairs Office for information on the family background, clubs and so on of the owners of the 105 dormitory.

Jiang Pingce sorted and summarized.

Ke Shaobin bought a trumpet from the Internet and went to the boys in the 105 dormitory. He played black games with them. He listened to the news by the way. It's a slap game, similar to "Jedi Survival", where four people team up to parachute out of a deserted island, collect weapons to live in the safety circle, and kill all other players to win.

In normal times, the four of them took Xie Xiangqin to play the black five-player game, which is a game of machine pushing towers.

Ke Shaobin is very good at playing games. Five players competed in black ranking and won 10 games in a row. Everyone was very happy. Four friends have been added, which is convenient for private chatting.

Ke Shaobin asked classmate Zhang Bin in dormitory 105: "Dude, I heard that you have a very beautiful girlfriend? I'm envious!"

The other party quickly replied: "Hey, my girlfriend is from the next-door Academy of Fine Arts. She is beautiful and has a good temperament. She paints Chinese paintings and often sketches outside."

Ke Shaobin clicked into each other's Moments, and found that Classmate Zhang often showed affection in Moments. The next day, he posted a photo of an appointment with his girlfriend. From the photo, his girlfriend was indeed very beautiful, and she had more temperament than Xie Xiangqin.

He had no motive to kill Xie Xiangqin.

Another roommate named Zhong Jian, the circle of friends is full of basketball and feather balls, or is it just a screenshot of the record of winning streak and losing streak in qualifying, and has never sent any information about girls. The pimple-faced boy is still single.

Zou Jia's Moments "This friend only shows the Moments of the last three days" and doesn't understand anything.

Ji Xiaohui's circle of friends also "only shows the last three days", and Ke Shaobin clicked in and it was empty.

Of the four people in dormitory 105, Zhang Bin, who has a girlfriend, is the least suspect, and the other three cannot be completely ruled out.

Ke Shaobin sent a screenshot of Zhong Jian's game record to Jiang Pingce, and said, "Xie Xiangqin plays games with the 4 people in the 105 dormitory, and rarely plays alone with her boyfriend. I asked classmate Zhang Bin, and he said , because Zou Jia's own strength is limited, and Xie Xiangqin is very good, if you play alone, Zou Jia can't bring this girlfriend and often loses, so she is used to dragging other roommates and playing with 5 people."

Jiang Pingce directly compiled a table of their playing time and winning percentage, and soon found the pattern: "Through September, every night from 22 to 24 o'clock, the four people in the 105 dormitory brought Xie Xiangqin to play the black game together. Ranking. But since October, Zhong Jian's circle of friends only has screenshots of four people playing the computer "shooting" game, or screenshots of playing the ranking game alone, and the five people have never played together again."

This is certainly no coincidence. What happened in late September and early October?

Ke Shaobin approached classmate Zhang Bin and said, "I'm on Brother Zhong's circle of friends. You used to play with five people in the rankings. Why haven't you ranked together recently?"

Zhang Bin replied: "Cough, it's not because Zou Jiafei brought a girlfriend. His girlfriend is really good, let's just say, the higher the rank, the higher the demand for support. The 4 of us bring 1 support that doesn't play. It's very difficult to win. Sometimes his girlfriend didn't release his big move even when the group started, and he just hung up. We were 4 on 5, and we were too tired."

Ke Shaobin: "So, you don't agree with him taking his girlfriend?"

Zhang Bin said: "We She Zhongjian have a very straight temper. Once, in a game with a big advantage, Xie Xiangqin made a serious mistake and turned the other side. He asked Zou Jiazhi and said, 'Your girlfriend is too bad, the four of us can't bring her.' Zou Jia's face was dark at the time, so she ran out to make a phone call. After we came back, we reached an agreement to take her to the king. No matter how difficult the peak game is, we won't take her to play. We will play by ourselves.

Ke Shaobin wondered: "Did Zou Jia quarrel with Xie Xiangqin after going out? The dormitory said his girlfriend was too bad, but you and Ji Xiaohui didn't persuade him?"

Zhang Bin reluctantly said: "I persuaded, I just said the girl, there is nothing to take with you, and the outcome is not too important. Ji Xiaohui didn't respond, he didn't talk much in the dormitory, but he was the best player in our fourth middle school. ."

Ke Shaobin played with them all night. He really felt that Ji Xiaohui, who was taciturn, was the strongest. Zou Jia was actually the best among the four. He couldn't bring his girlfriend, so he asked his roommate to help. It's no wonder that this "operation" caused the resentment of the roommates.

The next morning, Ke Shaobin, Jiang Pingce, and Xin Yan's investigation results were quickly gathered in the group.

Jiang Pingce concluded: "The 4 people in the 105 dormitory played with Xie Xiangqin in the rankings. They are all very familiar with Xie Xiangqin. Among them, Zhong Jian attaches great importance to the game winning and losing, and often thinks that Xie Xiangqin is a rookie and can't take it. Zhang Bin has a fixed Girlfriend has a stable relationship, and when something happens, he should be amicable. His girlfriend is prettier than Xie Xiangqin, and he has no motive to kill Xie Xiangqin."

"Zou Jia and Xie Xiangqin are superficially affectionate, but whether there is a conflict in private, it is not clear at present, only that they will not play with Xie Xiangqin in their dormitory starting in October. Ji Xiaohui, the most taciturn one in the whole dormitory, has the strongest game strength. It is convenient to play games, and I have added four male friends, whether I have contacted anyone privately, and I have not yet."

The investigation of the 105 dormitory cannot directly identify the suspect.

However, the result given by Xin Yan surprised everyone: "I checked the information on the school club, Zhong Jian is from the school basketball club, and his teammates said that he has such a straight temper and is quick to talk. It's not the first time, but I don't have any bad intentions, and I never hold grudges."

"Ji Xiaohui is a member of the school's animation club. He likes animation. He has a lot of pictures of anime beauties in his computer. He also participated in the cosplay organized by the animation club. By the way, the club of the animation club is called Qi Xinyu."

Yue Xingwen was slightly startled, and quickly typed: "Qi Xinyu? I remember she was a law student, and they organized this beach barbecue. I even added her as a friend during the beach barbecue."

Yue Xingwen quickly found the girl from her WeChat address book.

Ke Shaobin said: "I also remember, she seems to be a witness to the beach case, right? Going to the sunrise early in the morning, and then seeing the floating corpse in the sea, she screamed and woke us up?"

Yue Xingwen nodded: "Yes, when you came here, your friends didn't add in vain. This is a very important clue person!"

******

【Not Guilty Defense-12】

Yue Xingwen contacted Qi Xinyu through WeChat early in the morning: "Senior sister, I am the junior brother who joined you on the beach that day."

Qi Xinyu quickly replied: "Oh, I remember you! Junior brother is looking for me for anything?"

Yue Xingwen went straight to the question and asked, "What happened to the corpse at sea that morning? Did the police ask you to question it?" Since she screamed at the time, Yue Xingwen also came to the scene immediately. for witnesses.

Qi Xinyu sent a cracked expression: "Oh, it's really bad luck, teachers, school leaders, and police have been asking me questions all day, after all, I am one of the organizers of this event, and my classmates have an accident, and I have also Responsibility!" She paused, and then added: "This case will start soon, and the police asked me to testify in court, so the case should be closed soon."

"Then, I hope this will pass as soon as possible."

Yue Xingwen continued to ask: "By the way, senior sister, do you know Ji Xiaohui?"

Qi Xinyu was stunned: "Why did you ask Ji Xiaohui all of a sudden?"

Yuexing Wendao: "I am very interested in the animation club, and I want to join your animation club next semester. Ji Xiaohui is also a member of the animation club, right? I heard that you often hold cosplays, do you have any photos?"

Qi Xinyu didn't doubt it, and immediately sent a photo: "We participate in the city's comic exhibition every semester, you can learn about it first! After I graduate, Xiaohui will be our next club, and the animation club is still fun. of."

Yuexingwen opens the photo——

I saw a slender girl wearing a pink cake dress in the photo, with a golden wig, long eyelashes, red and tender lips, and fair skin, smiling gently at the camera, like a A doll from an anime.

Yue Xingwen was "confused": "Who is this? It's beautiful."

Qi Xinyu sent a smiley expression: "This is Ji Xiaohui!"

Yue Xingwen: "..."

If it weren't for the relatives of the animation club saying that this is Ji Xiaohui, he would hardly recognize it...

It's actually a boy! A boy who is more watery and beautiful than a girl!

Yue Xingwen immediately posted Ji Xiaohui's photo in the group: "Ke Shao, search the Internet to find all the photos of Ji Xiaohui participating in cosplay, I suspect that he sneaked into the girls' dormitory disguised as a woman!"

Zhuo Feng was stunned: "This, this is Ji Xiaohui? It's completely different from the ID photo!"

Jiang Pingce: "...Women's clothing boss."

Lin Manluo knows cos well, she said: "There are quite a lot of boys who like to play cos, and they are really beautiful when they dress up as women. This time Ji Xiaohui has a gentle appearance and fair skin, so there is no sense of disobedience in dressing up as a woman. "

Qin Miao sent a forehead emoji: "As a girl, I feel ashamed."

Qin Lu said: "The skin is better than mine, I'm envious!"

Jiang Pingce brought the topic back: "Does Xie Xiangqin like anime very much?"

Qin Miao said: "I passed by her dormitory at the time and saw some cartoon posters on her wall, and there were cute cartoons on the shelf. So, she and Ji Xiaohui have a lot of mutual love?"

Jiang Pingce followed with a message: "Xin Yan checked yesterday, Ji Xiaohui was born in a single-parent family, his father divorced his mother due to an affair, his mother is a nurse, there should be books on anatomy at home, and he may also understand the structure of the human body and make a knife kill."

Ji Xiaohui's suspicion skyrocketed.

The big guy who can dress up as a woman at will should not be underestimated.

Building 6 has a total of 10 floors, with 30 dormitories on each floor. There are so many students that the dormitory aunt may not recognize them all. If Ji Xiaohui dressed as a woman to enter and leave the student dormitory, even if the surveillance is not broken, there is no need to register, and the world will be brighter. walk into.

However, Ji Xiaohui's motive for committing the crime has not yet been found.

Yue Xingwen immediately asked, "Where's Li Huijuan? The day after tomorrow, the court will be held, hasn't she come back yet?"

Qin Miao said, "Mao Yue is the only one in the dormitory 703, and I still haven't seen Li Huijuan."

Xin Yan said: "She is from the Academy of Biological Sciences and is an intern in a bioengineering institute. I checked her phone number. If she can't come back, why don't you call her and ask her?"

Yue Xingwen and Lan Yarong looked at each other, picked up the phone and dialed Li Huijuan's number.

As soon as the phone was connected, a calm voice came from my ear: "Hello, who is it?"

Yue Xingwen said, "Are you classmate Li Huijuan? I'm Zhu Xiaoting's defense lawyer."

Li Huijuan was stunned for a moment: "Lawyer? What are you looking for from me?"

Yue Xingwen said: "The case of Zhu Xiaoting, the police should have asked you something, right?"

Li Huijuan nodded: "Yeah. I heard 'Mao' Yue say that she saw Xiaoting killing with a knife. The police called me later to ask me about the relationship between Zhu Xiaoting and Xie Xiangqin, and of course I told the truth. The two never got along. Yue Xiaoting smashed Xie Xiangqin's cup, Xie Xiangqin scolded her face to face and made her lose money; later Xiaoting accidentally knocked over a bottle of Xie Xiangqin's limited edition perfume, which made people very unpleasant." She paused, her voice solemn. Come down: "But I didn't think that Xiaoting would kill someone. For this trivial matter, she was really too impulsive, and it wasn't worth it."

Yue Xingwen immediately said, "It's not Zhu Xiaoting that is fierce."

Li Huijuan was stunned for a while, then asked "confused", "What do you mean?"

Yue Xingwen asked, "Have Xie Xiangqin and Zou Jia ever quarreled?"

Li Huijuan frowned, and after a moment of silence, she said, "I should have quarreled. Once I went back to the dormitory and heard Xie Xiangqin arguing with someone on the phone. Her eyes were red and she seemed to be crying. She saw me entering the room and threw the phone. , I looked at the caller ID and it was Zou Jia."

Yue Xingwen: "Are you sure that the caller ID is Zou Jia?"

Li Huijuan nodded: "Sure. Xie Xiangqin talks with Zou Jia on the phone every day, and I recognize the picture very well. However, it is very common for couples to have conflicts. Zou Jia is usually very kind to her, and often buys her snacks."

Yue Xingwen: "Didn't Zou Jia buy her those things on her desk?"

Li Huijuan said: "It shouldn't be. Every time Zou Jia buys her something, she shows it off to us. She has never said anything about animation. Zou Jia often gives her gifts, including perfume, red and snacks."

Yue Xingwen said sincerely, "Student Li Huijuan, are you willing to testify in court? Zhu Xiaoting is innocent. Your testimony is very heavy and may save her life."

Li Huijuan said in surprise: "Isn't Xiaoting a murderer? 'Mao' Yue has seen her kill with his own eyes. You are her defense lawyer, I can understand your desire to help him clear his name, but I can't tell the evidence in court. nonsense."

Yue Xingwen: "You don't need to give perjury, just tell the truth of your Tao."

Li Huijuan was at a loss: "Then what can I prove?"

Yue Xingwen said: "It proves that Xie Xiangqin and Zou Jia had a fight. Was it the end of September when they quarreled?"

Li Huijuan thought about it carefully and said, "Yes, it's September 30th, Saturday night. I was going to study for oneself, but because the computer forgot to charge, I came back early, and then saw her quarreling with Zou Jia, arguing. Very vicious."

At this point in time, it matched the testimony of classmate Zhang in dormitory 105, and it also corresponded to the change in game habits of classmate Zhong Jian's circle of friends.

On the night of September 30 last month, something very unpleasant must have happened.

The fierce quarrel between Xie Xiangqin and Zou Jia may be the real cause of Xie Xiangqin's death.
