Chapter 212: Talking About Love and Cases (VIII)

Outside the court, Xu Xiaoli and Chen Yuqi got out of the car together. "Master, they will be surprised to see you in court."

Chen Yuqi laughed and said, "How can it be so exaggerated! The judge knows that you are my apprentice. It is normal for me to come and watch my beloved apprentice's first court defense."

"Master loves me. Other new lawyers have not seen their masters show up in court. Thank you, Master!" She smiled at Chen Yuqi while carrying her briefcase.

A few people came over. They were Zhao Guotian and his representative lawyer Fang Ye, followed by Jingzhi and his wife and the Jing family of three. Fang Ye respectfully stepped forward to greet Chen Yuqi. Chen Yuqi nodded lightly, and did not have a good face for this lawyer who disregarded his conscience for making money.

The Jing family was surprised when they saw Xu Xiaoli. Although they had heard Jingzhi talk about the changes of the sharp girl, they suddenly saw her dressed like an elite and could not match the sharp girl in jeans and sneakers in their memory.

Xu Xiaoli wore a standard shirt, skirt, and high heels. Her hair was parted and tied up. She had light makeup on her face. She greeted them with a smile, as if seeing them again had no effect on her at all.

Jiang Huizhu pushed her gold-rimmed glasses and turned to look at Jingbo. Jingbo looked calm, but he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. He applied to study in Australia when he was heartbroken. He just came back a few days ago. He didn't expect to meet her again so soon.

She was more beautiful and better. Jingbo couldn't help but look at her left wrist. Thinking of the deep wound, his heart still hurt. He forced himself to turn his eyes away and stop looking at her. He told himself to remember to stay away from her and not add any trouble to her.

Everyone had different positions and there was nothing to say. After the two sides greeted each other, they entered the court one after another. Xu Xiaoli changed into a lawyer's robe and a wig, and her expression became serious. When she stood in the court, the first feeling of her strong aura was that she would not lose!

Fang Ye was also under some pressure. He thought that the other party was taking the case for the first time and would definitely win this time. Unexpectedly, the other party was so aggressive! He turned over his materials and asked the suspect, "Ms. Feng Jiaman, why did you go into the box with Mr. Zhao Chen at that time?"

Feng Jiaman glanced at Xu Xiaoli, took a deep breath, and said, "I didn't volunteer. He forced me in."

"Mr. Zhao Chen is a frequent guest of the hotel and has never done anything rude in public. Was it really him who pulled you in, rather than you inviting him?"

Feng Jiaman clenched her fists and moved her feet nervously. At this time, Xu Xiaoli stood up and said, "I object! Your Honor, I object to the prosecutor's lawyer making unfounded speculations about my client."

The judge knocked the gavel, "The objection is valid!"

Xu Xiaoli continued, "Regarding the point mentioned by the prosecutor, I have new evidence to present."

The staff played the video she provided in court. Although the picture was not high-definition, it was enough to see that it was Zhao Chen who forcibly pulled the struggling Feng Jiaman into the box.

Fang Ye's face was not looking good. He turned his head and glanced at Zhao Guotian in the audience. The other party obviously had not received any news in advance.

The video was recorded by a couple who were near the box that night. They originally intended to go to the bar for the first time and take some videos of each other as a souvenir. Unexpectedly, they saw the scene between Zhao Chen and Feng Jiaman. The two found that the bar was not so safe, so they left immediately. Xu Xiaoli also found out from the camera record at the door of the bar that they were in a hurry, and then she got the video by following the clues.

Fang Ye had no choice but to give up the question, and at the same time, he did not forget to emphasize that it was normal for couples to quarrel and tug. He continued to ask Feng Jiaman, "Ms. Feng Jiaman, what happened after you and Zhao Chen entered the box?"

"He pulled me into the room. I was very scared. I wanted to go out, and he came up and grabbed my left hand, asking me why I wanted to resign, whether I wanted to avoid him, whether I looked down on him... My hand was very painful at the time, and I was very scared. I could only shake my head and say that I was not worthy of him and begged him to let me go. Later... Later he touched my chest... pushed me to the sofa... took off, took off my clothes, and wanted to □me..."

"Then, then my hand touched the fruit knife on the coffee table while waving, and stabbed his back when he unbuttoned my pants, and then he screamed, someone came in and pulled him up to stop the bleeding, and then someone called the police." Feng Jiaman recalled the details at the time, and it was obvious that her mood was a little unstable, but she still resisted tears, but her voice was trembling.

However, Fang Ye did not give her time to breathe, and raised his voice to question: "As far as I know, your father owed usury before his death, and you worked in the bar to pay off the debt, and happened to meet Zhao Chen, the heir of the Zhao Group. That day, you wanted to borrow money from him, but he refused, so you got angry and killed him, right?"

Feng Jiaman raised her head and shouted: "No! No! I have never borrowed money from Zhao Chen! I didn't want to kill him... I didn't!"

"Objection!" Xu Xiaoli stood up again.

Before she could speak, Fang Ye saluted to the judge, "Okay, I'll change the question."

Xu Xiaoli looked at him expressionlessly and sat down slowly. Every victim of a rape case is inevitably provoked by the lawyer, but the prosecutor's lawyer's questioning is a necessary trial procedure, and she can't do anything except raise an objection. Turning her head, she looked at Feng Jiaman with a slightly soothing look, and her fingers made a tapping motion on the table.

This is a way of calming down that she taught Feng Jiaman. If the fingers keep moving and focus on counting one, two, and three, they will no longer be controlled by negative emotions, and they can avoid being too excited and losing judgment.

Feng Jiaman soon saw Xu Xiaoli's movements, and her fingers began to move one by one, gradually easing her emotions. Thinking of the prosecutor's psychology and the traps in the prosecutor's words that Xu Xiaoli had analyzed for her, she suddenly felt a sense of fighting for herself. If she was not firm enough, she might be waiting for prison. She also had to take care of her mother and make money to pay off her debts. She had more important things to do, and she couldn't fail!

Xu Xiaoli saw her firm look and felt relieved. She opened the information and deleted some of the arguments, and decided to quickly end the trial.

Fang Ye asked a few more sharp questions, which were basically the ones that Xu Xiaoli had listed for Feng Jiaman. Feng Jiaman had practiced by herself and answered all the questions calmly. Fang Ye frowned, and seeing that there was really nothing to gain, he had to sit down.

The key point of this case is whether Feng Jiaman should be sentenced, and if so, how heavy the sentence should be. After all, when the police arrived at the scene, the scars on Feng Jiaman's body were not fake. As long as Xu Xiaoli can find a little more evidence, it can be determined that Zhao Chen was an attempted rapist. Therefore, Fang Ye's main task is to make Feng Jiaman's sentence as heavy as possible.

Xu Xiaoli stood up and saluted, "Your Honor, please allow me to call a few witnesses."

After permission, the bartender Abang, who first broke into the box at that time, walked in.

Xu Xiaoli asked, "Excuse me, does the witness know the defendant and Mr. Zhao Chen?"

Abang glanced at Feng Jiaman and said, "Yes, Feng Jiaman is a waitress in our bar and has just worked there for two months. Mr. Zhao is a frequent visitor to the bar and comes to play every two days. After he met Feng Jiaman, he has been, uh, pursuing her."

"Did the witness see them on the 27th of last month?"

Abang knew that he would have to testify in court, so he had already sorted out his thoughts and answered directly, "Yes! That day was Feng Jiaman's last day working at the bar, Mr. Zhao invited her to drink but she refused. Later, when I went to the bathroom, I passed by Box 103 and heard a man shouting and a woman screaming. I rushed in and saw Mr. Zhao pressing on Feng Jiaman with a fruit knife stuck in his back. My colleague and I helped Mr. Zhao to the sofa on the other side to stop the bleeding, and then notified the manager. "

Xu Xiaoli nodded, "So, what was Feng Jiaman's condition at the time?"

Abang looked at Feng Jiaman, hesitated, and said, "She was in a very bad condition, her face was pale. , hugged herself and shivered, with only underwear hanging on her upper body, and her pants were slightly removed. "Maybe he felt that it was not good for a man to describe it, so he quickly added: "At that time, another waiter immediately took a blanket to cover her."

"Your Honor, I have no questions."

The second witness was the bar manager. Xu Xiaoli looked at his information and asked: "Witness, some regular customers of the bar pointed out that Mr. Zhao Chen entangled with the defendant, causing the defendant to resign and avoid, but the bar has not provided any protection measures for employee Feng Jiaman, right?"

The bar manager calmed down and replied: "This is not true. Mr. Zhao began to pursue Feng Jiaman after knowing her, and often bought wine from her to increase her income. They should be in a romantic relationship, because when Feng Jiaman resigned, she mentioned that she had found a sponsor and would soon be able to pay off the debt, and she would not have to do it in the future."

Feng Jiaman clenched her fists and wanted to defend herself, but she held back when she saw Xu Xiaoli was still asking questions. She gritted her teeth and stared at the manager, not knowing why he wanted to frame her.

"Oh? If the defendant said that he had found a sponsor, who else knew about it besides the witness?"

The bar manager lowered his eyes and said, "No one else was present when she told me, and I didn't mention it to anyone."

"So what does the witness think of the defendant killing Mr. Zhao Chen in self-defense?"

"Well, no one was present at the time, and I don't know what happened, but in the end Feng Jiaman was not hurt, but Mr. Zhao died. By the way, Mr. Zhao was very surprised to learn that Feng Jiaman had resigned that day. Maybe the sponsor Feng Jiaman mentioned was someone else, and the two of them quarreled."

Although speculative conclusions cannot be used as testimony, it is clear from the expressions of the crowd that they have begun to doubt whether Feng Jiaman has a "sponsor". Impression points are very important and directly affect the jury's sympathy for Feng Jiaman.

Xu Xiaoli turned the gold pen in her hand and squinted at the bar manager.
