my wife is a consul

Chapter 38
Husky Suite 302, Lu Ming had just returned from Wendebao Club when he heard a shocking news.

Li Mingxuan and Xiaocui announced that when the case is over, no matter whether he wins or loses the lawsuit, they will get married.

"Actually, if you lose, forget it!" Li Mingxuan sighed, holding Xiaocui's hand.

Under the orange wall lamp, Xiaocui's face turned even redder, she shyly shook her head, "No, I am willing..."

Lu Ming quietly looked at Li Mingxuan.

"Lawyer Lu, don't you bless us? I really want to get your blessing!" Li Mingxuan looked calm and looked at Lu Ming with a smile.

Lu Ming smiled: "Well, I also want to prepare a big gift for you."

Li Mingxuan hesitated, "Lawyer Lu, I think we should have a chat."

……

"Do you think Xiaocui and I are a good match?" Li Mingxuan closed the door of the tea room and turned to ask Lu Ming.

"This depends on you. The judgment of outsiders never means anything." Lu Ming sat at the tea table, boiling water and making tea by himself.

"Stop playing sloppy with me. What are you thinking? Give me hope, and kill me again?" Li Mingxuan sneered, "I have always underestimated you. I thought you were a prodigal, but I didn't think that you The most insidious and cunning one, if it wasn't for the Wu'an lawsuit, you were forced to reveal your true colors, I'm afraid I wouldn't even know how I died in a few years, right?"

Lu Ming smiled and continued to make tea. From Li Mingxuan's point of view, he was not wrong to look at himself this way. The prodigal son who was ruining his fortune didn't want to know more about the law than this guy who claimed to be the number one young talent in Wu'an. If it is more profound, it will naturally make him feel that he has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

"I don't want to continue this lawsuit. Please give me a good time. I don't want to have a false hope and be buried by you, an insidious guy!" Li Mingxuan stared at Lu Ming, and suddenly hated again.

"There was no hope at all. Do you think that if you go to court tomorrow for cross-examination, can you pass Liu Hanhuang's test?"

A thin line of tea was poured into the teacup from the teapot raised high by Lu Ming, as if it was spiritually swaying in the air.

"Here, I'd better think about how to deal with Liu Hanxuan tomorrow!" Lu Ming pushed a small teacup in front of Li Mingxuan.

"Maybe, without me doing it, tomorrow you will bury your own hope of living."

Lu Ming stood up and clicked on a few pieces of paper on the coffee table, "This is the victim's story I wrote, I hope you read it carefully and understand it carefully! You have to treat her as a real person, not that The shrew who wants to occupy you, understand? Slowly understand, whether you live or die depends on yourself." Glancing at Li Mingxuan, he turned and walked out slowly.

Li Mingxuan sat still for a long time, picked up the small teacup, and drank it in one gulp.

After that, he picked up the few pieces of paper and read them.

……

Li Mingxuan, as the suspect in this case, is also the only person who has experienced the incident on the surface, so the cross-examination of him is naturally the highlight.

He sat on the witness stand, looking a little terrified, secretly looking at the jury from time to time.

Liu Hanxuan walked slowly to the witness stand, "Mr. Li Haoran, would it be more comfortable to call you Mr. Li Si?"

Li Mingxuan leaned forward slightly and put his mouth in front of the microphone, "It's all okay..."

"Okay, Mr. Li Si, what is your real name?"

"Objection." Lu Ming raised his hand, "A baseless question."

"Okay, let me put it another way, Mr. Li Si, where is your hometown?"

"No, it involves the personal safety of my client!" Lu Ming raised his hand again.

Liu Hanxuan nodded, "Then, Mr. Li Si, what name do your relatives and friends in your hometown call you?"

"I object to the fact that the prosecution has been entangled in the same false question." Lu Ming raised his hand again.

Liu Hanxuan shook his head helplessly, "I take back the question."

If it is not withdrawn, it will be ruled by Cao Guan that the objection is valid. Repeatedly, it is to make the jurors question the suspect's integrity, and the purpose has been achieved.

"Mr. Li Si, you were at the police station and once admitted that you murdered Li Xiaoyan, right?"

Lu Ming stood up abruptly, "No, the police have withdrawn the invalid evidence! The prosecution is misleading the jury!"

Cao Guan waved to the two of them, and Lu Ming and Liu Hanxuan walked to the judge's bench.

Cao Guan gently covered the black microphone with his hand, and looked at Liu Hanhuang with a frown, "Lawyer Liu Hanhuang, I have always respected you enough, I hope you can respect me too, don't use such tricks in my court!"

If the police didn't withdraw the evidence, Lu Ming would threaten to do another injury test, so the matter of extorting a confession by torture was turned into a minor matter.

Liu Hanxuan mentioned this incident in violation of the rules, which naturally still affected the jury's judgment.

"Okay, Cao Guan, I understand!" Liu Hanxuan nodded to Cao Guan.

On the prosecution bench, Zhang Jingjing stared at all this in astonishment. She really didn't expect that the master would use such a trick when interrogating a rookie lawyer.

A person like Master has always had a good face, cherishes his feathers, and has a good reputation among judges. Now that he uses tricks that junior lawyers would use to seduce him, he is naturally forced to use the real thing.

Is this guy really that powerful?

Look, it's younger than me.

Zhang Jingjing looked at Lu Ming's back and was speechless for a moment.

"Mr. Li Si, you are an employee of the victim, Ms. Li Xiaoyan, right?"

Everyone returned to their original positions, and Liu Hanxuan continued to question Li Mingxuan.

"Yes." Li Mingxuan said softly into the microphone.

"Before you were hired by Ms. Li Xiaoyan, you were a homeless person on the street, and because you had no legal status, no rental land, and no job, you could be evicted at any time, right?"

"Yes."

"Ms. Li Xiaoyan, you can be said to be your benefactor, right?"

"Yes..." A sigh flashed across Li Mingxuan's eyes.

"You said that the valuables found in your home were all given to you by Ms. Li Xiaoyan, right?"

Li Mingxuan hesitated, "Yes, but..."

Liu Hanxuan had already turned around, "Please submit the photos of the evidence category D, No. 3-7."

Soon, court assistants handed over photos of the exhibits to the courtroom and the jury box.

Although it is a photo, you can see the preciousness of these things inside, especially the green jade pendant, which is priceless at first glance.

Liu Hanxuan held the photo of the jade pendant, "The Evidence No. 3 of the Ding category, let's just talk about it. It was a token of love given to Ms. Li Xiaoyan by Li Xiaoyan's husband. Ms. Li Xiaoyan has always regarded it as a treasure. It loves it so much that it almost fell into the lake and drowned once because of it."

"As for Ms. Li Xiaoyan's cherishment of this jade pendant, I have five witnesses who can prove it. They are all on the witness list. If the defense objects, they can be summoned at any time."

Glancing at Lu Ming from afar, he turned and looked at Li Mingxuan, "Ms. Li Xiaoyan gave you such a precious gift? Are you sure?"

"No, it's very precious. Sometimes she will go back in two days. She is very strange..."

When I want to say that I am very angry, I will give away the cherished things to others.

Before Li Mingxuan finished speaking, Liu Hanxuan interrupted him, "Do you think such an argument is reasonable?"

In the jury seats, the jurors whispered to each other and shook their heads.

Obviously, Li Mingxuan said that the stolen goods were given by Ms. Li Xiaoyan on her own initiative, but now that they are too precious, she changed her words and said that she would go back?
This is too ridiculous, right?
"You don't understand women..." Li Mingxuan suddenly sighed.

"What did you say?" Liu Hanxuan was taken aback.

"Ms. Li Xiaoyan loves her husband very much. Although she is only the second concubine, her husband has seven or eight concubines. Those new lovers are all younger and more beautiful than her..."

"Witness, I didn't ask you any questions!" Liu Hanxuan frowned.

Li Mingxuan sighed and continued: "However, Ms. Li Xiaoyan was his husband's first concubine. At that time, she was so young and beautiful, and her husband loved her so much. That was given to her."

Hearing the value of the jade pendant, the jury immediately gasped.

"Objection, witness, I didn't ask you a question, please don't talk to yourself!"

Li Mingxuan shook his head and sighed, "She thought that she had won the whole world! But she didn't know that the happiness in life is often very short."

"Men like the new and dislike the old. Her husband has the third concubine, the fourth concubine, and the fifth concubine..."

"She can only anesthetize herself with alcohol, take out the jade pendant, and pretend to be that happy girl!"

"However, she is still not happy. She will throw her jade pendant and the little things that man gave her to her followers, and let them take her most precious and painful memories to get out!"

"However, when she sobers up, she will find that no matter whether the memory is painful or happy, it is her life. She doesn't want to abandon her life, and she doesn't want to lose the meaning of living it. Therefore, She will ask her servants to send these memories back..."

Li Mingxuan narrated softly, and the whole court seemed to be quiet, reminiscing about this woman's emotions, the victim, for the first time, became a living person.

And Liu Hanxuan's voice of "opposition" all the time became a little harsh and out of place.

Cao Guan didn't pay attention to Liu Hanxuan's "objection" at first, because these words, when the defense lawyer asked questions, could still lead him to speak out.

It's just that the current narration completely disrupted Liu Hanxuan's deployment and the emotions he wanted to convey to the jury.

Seeing that Li Mingxuan had almost finished speaking, Cao Guan nodded: "Li Haoran, please control your emotions, just answer the prosecution's questions!"

Li Mingxuan sighed and nodded slightly.

Liu Hanxuan's face was a little ugly, and the next series of questions seemed to be very abrupt when asked again at this time.

Staring at Li Mingxuan, this guy is definitely not simple, nor is he an ordinary person. I thought he was an ordinary tramp, and I made a big mistake.

I didn't pay much attention to this case from the beginning, but looking at it now, I may have made a fatal mistake.

After standing for a while, he raised his head and said, "In the court, the defendant's mood is a little abnormal. I hope to adjourn the court temporarily to give the defendant time to rest."

Cao Guan nodded slightly.
