my wife is a consul

Chapter 72 Sudden Death

Lu Ming never expected that Cheng Lingyu would arrange the most critical second half of the journey for himself.

He should have thought about it for a long time, and when it came time to interrogate Gui Linghua, it was no use for him, but for him to smear the other party, so he should have already made up his mind.

It may be that I think that most of the strategies are thought of by myself, and I should have more experience in the second half of the journey.

Seeing his encouraging eyes that only he could see, Lu Ming could only nod slightly, stood up, and asked to question Uncle Wang's testimony.

On the witness stand, no one.

Lu Ming went up to face the jurors, "Although Uncle Wang's testimony was not listed as hearsay evidence, it doesn't mean that his testimony is true or credible. Please pay attention to this point, all jurors."

"Objection!" Shan Jingfan stood up, "I object to the defense's unfounded questioning of the statement taken by the police."

Lu Ming nodded: "I have a basis for saying this, Uncle Wang, in the confession, the description of the murder of the children is too detailed, it is impossible!"

Shan Jingfan stood up again, "No, I have studied related cases, and many perverted murderers have very clear memories of their own murders."

Lu Ming looked at him: "However, in Uncle Wang's confession, the process of killing almost every child is similar. They are all pushed to the ground and stabbed to death with random knives. I think that serial murderers will think that killing is a crime. an art..."

"Objection, objection to the prosecution's speculative definition!"

Lu Ming frowned and looked at him: "Lawyer Shan Jingfan, do you think Uncle Wang's statement is credible?"

"Based on the current evidence, there is no doubt!" Shan Jingfan nodded.

Lu Ming looked at Feng Xuefan, "In court, the prosecution requests to call witness No. 21!"

Witness No. 21 is Professor Wen Zaixuwen, a Royal Academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences.

Shan Jingfan smiled in his heart, this is a trapped beast, this Professor Wen came up with a way to detect the blood in the basement.

But the problem is that he has not denied that those in the basement are human blood.

What's more, what I admit is that Uncle Wang killed someone, which left bloodstains.

This professor Wen is a big dipper in the scientific world, but what can be changed by saying a few nonsense in court?

Probably few of the jurors know who he is and what his status is in the scientific community, so who are they scaring?

On the witness stand, Professor Wen was still in a white coat, with gray and long hair hanging loose, in the style of Dr. Horror.

"Professor Wen, I heard that you brought us a set of experiments today, right?" Lu Ming stepped forward and asked.

"Yes!" Wen Zaixu looked at Lu Ming impatiently, with an expression of not wanting to talk nonsense, but he still knew that the matter was important, and the court was a solemn place, so he was not too willful.

Lu Ming looked at Feng Xuefan, "Your Honor, I request to turn off the lights and play a short video of a scientific experiment!"

Shan Jingfan stood up immediately: "I object! I don't know the prosecution's intention!"

Feng Xuefan waved to the two of them, and when they walked over, Feng Xuefan looked at Lu Ming with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Your Honor, this experiment of mine is of great significance to this case. If Your Excellency, after watching the video, thinks it is a waste of court time, I am willing to accept the punishment!"

Feng Xuefan nodded, and said to Shan Jingfan: "Let's take a look."

Shan Jingfan is helpless, because this professor Wen Zaixu has been on the prosecution witness list from the very beginning, so the other party is not a surprise attack, but I inquired about it myself. It turns out that the technique of inspecting blood stains in the basement was invented by this professor Wen. of.

Putting Professor Wen on the witness list should be a routine matter for the prosecution, and it may be necessary to start applying for a search warrant.

But I don't want to, the other party has some kind of experimental video.

I don't know what to do, so I can only look at it first.

Soon, a large number of staff moved in the bulky projectors, and even set up a small snow-white curtain with brackets.

In the courtroom, all the lights were turned off soon, and all the thick curtains were drawn.

Including the jurors, although there were few who had never seen a movie, many people were curious about how a movie was shown on the spot for the first time.

Soon, images appeared on the screen, but there was no sound.

Today's movies have passed the era of silent movies, but there is no camera that can truly record sound at the same time. It is necessary to record additional dubbing on tape and play it synchronously with the movie.

And this short film obviously does not need dubbing.

I saw a young man inside, and on the opposite side was something like a torture rack, with a humanoid mold tied to it.

Shan Jingfan's eyes froze immediately, and he immediately realized what the problem was. This room was very similar to the basement where the crime took place. The torture racks were exactly the same as those in the photo. The pose on the shelf is exactly the same as that of the boy in the photo, and the size of the model is similar to that of the boy, and the young man with the knife is about the same shape as Kato Masaaki.

At this time, I saw the young man stabbing down with a knife. The order, posture, and stabbed parts were all exactly the same as in the photo.

The model quickly sprayed red blood, some sprayed onto the wall, some spilled on the ground, and some dripped, forming a small pool of blood beside the torture rack.

The camera zoomed in, and the slow motion showed the shapes of these bloodstains little by little.

Shan Jingfan frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

Then, the camera flashed, and it was the same young man, torture rack and model again, but the scene was clean, obviously, the experiment was restarted.

After repeating the behavior of the young man about a dozen times, and showing the blood traces left by the surrounding scenes at close range, the short film stopped abruptly.

Soon someone opened the curtains and turned on the lights. The lighting in this courtyard is not very good, so the lights need to be turned on during the day.

But the tools and the like were not brought out, so they might still be useful.

"Professor Wen, how many times have you conducted such experiments?" Lu Ming asked.

"More than 100 times!"

Lu Ming turned to Feng Xuefan, "In court, I request that the final photos of the results of more than 100 experiments be presented to the court."

Shan Jingfan immediately stood up: "Objection, Your Honor, Professor Wen Zaixu is as a witness, what we should hear is his testimony, these experiments, and the results of the experiments, what is the intention of the prosecution has been concealing, I request The court is temporarily adjourned, and the prosecution will explain to us what their experimental intentions are. Moreover, it is doubtful whether these evidences can be presented in court!"

Lu Ming looked serious, "Your Honor, Professor Wen, as our expert witness, has long been included in the witness list. The experiment he provided may be an important experiment that will change the history of criminal investigation in the empire. Show, as for the results of the experiment, whether it will be adopted in the end, the wise judge and jurors will naturally give a wise answer!"

Feng Xuefan pondered, looked at Professor Wen again, finally nodded, and looked at Lu Ming: "Okay, but if your experimental results are a sham, and you use Professor Wen's reputation to mess around, I will sentence you to contempt of court!"

"Thank you, Your Honor!" Lu Ming bowed slightly.

Shan Jingfan gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

Soon, a thick stack of photos was sent to the judge's and jury's seats, and a copy was also sent to the defense's seat.

Shan Jingfan already knew roughly what it was, so he gritted his teeth, picked up the photo and slowly opened it.

Lu Ming waited quietly. Seeing that everyone was overwhelmed, some jurors were impatient and didn't know what to do with looking at these bloody photos, and there were still more than 100 of them.

"Your Honor, all jurors, you can see that if I say that the traces of blood splatter in these photos are similar, you should agree?"

Since no one would answer him, Lu Ming made a gesture at this moment, and a staff member stepped forward and began to hang photos one by one on the snow-white screen.

The first photo is a fluorescent mottled photo, and the rest are those experimental blood splash photos.

"Look, don't these traces with the brightest fluorescence look very similar to these simulated bloodstains?"

Both the jurors and Feng Xuefan looked over, indeed, the mottled fluorescent traces were very similar to the simulated blood spatter traces.

"Professor Wen, why is this? Can you explain?" Lu Ming looked at Wen Zaixu.

Wen Zaixu looked drowsy from waiting, and opened his eyes at this time, "Why? The photo of the murderer is true. This experiment can prove that that kid Kato killed someone!"

Lu Ming was helpless. He originally wanted to prepare a testimony with him. He didn't need to say anything. He wanted to change the witness and use the senior doctor who worked with Professor Wen as the witness. There is nothing to say about professionalism and adaptability.

In the end, old man Wen turned his back on him and scolded himself for not being a thing. He crossed the river and demolished bridges. There were fun things to do.
The doctor was also a little afraid of Professor Wen. In the end, he had no choice but to use Professor Wen. There was no need to update the witness list, which was a little bit of an advantage.

Over there, Shan Jingfan got up immediately, "I object! I object to witnesses slandering my client for no reason!"

"Boy, you sit down first, sit down!" Professor Wen gestured, as if he was the baton in this court, and looked at the jury box, "You guys, there are a few brains who are enlightened, let me tell you, It was exhausting, but I have to say, boring as hell!"

Lu Ming smiled wryly, he couldn't oppose his own witness.

Shan Jingfan originally wanted to object, but seeing the arrogant old man's appearance of being trash, he thought about it and sat down slowly.

Moreover, on the judge's bench, Feng Xuefan was drinking water with his head down, pretending not to see the old man's performance.

Opposing it yourself is definitely invalid.

"As you can see, the photo with the fluorescent reaction was taken in the basement of that kid Kato's house. The brightest part of the fluorescent light is the last blood stain. The poor child in the photo was killed by that guy last. people……"

Shan Jingfan stood up immediately, and it can be seen that Feng Xuefan waved his hand at him, that means, let him finish speaking quickly, and use your strength when you cross-examine him.

Shan Jingfan gritted his teeth and sat down again.

But the old man stared at him suddenly, "It's okay, come here, I'll say he's a murderer, if you object, I'll explain it to you!"

"But you kid, you have a bit of a brain. Just by looking at your eyes, I know you understand what I'm doing. It's just these jurors, a group of fools. You can fool them. You kid, I always laugh at them as fools. Bar?"

Listening to the previous mountain scriptures, I just felt that this old man offended the jury and committed suicide. What about Taishan Beidou in the scientific world?You, who should not be offended in court, are all offended.

But at the end, Shan Jingfan's face changed, and he stood up immediately, "I object! In court, I strongly oppose the witness's malicious speculation and insult to me!"

Feng Xuefan coughed, "Mr. Wen, let's get to the point..." He frowned and glanced at Lu Ming, implying that you take care of your witnesses, I can't afford to mess with him, turn around and use it for you in contempt of the court, and lock you up for 24 hours .

Lu Ming looked at Professor Wen, and sighed in his heart, Mr. Wen, do you think that he really focuses on science and doesn't understand people's hearts?

That's really shallow.

Obviously, in the fight against Shanjing Fan, the old man himself is awesome and has awesome capital. When the jurors went back to deliberate and found out how awesome the old man was, the old man accused them of being brainless, which was nothing at all. , in the entire empire, how many people can be considered smart by this old man?

Even if the old man can scold them a few words in court, it will be an honor worth bragging for the rest of his life.

But he said that these jurors would be deceived by lawyers like Shan Jingfan, and Shan Jingfan was laughing at them for being stupid, so the jurors were in a bad mood, why?

In addition, the old man is arrogant and disdains to tell lies at first sight, so he must really think so.

That bastard, Shan Jingfan, might really take us for fools.

The more he thought about it, the more helpless Lu Ming felt. He was still young, and these old men were so smart that they couldn't be compared.

Over there, Professor Wen looked at the jury again, "Just think about it this way, the brightest part of the fluorescence is the trace of blood, and then compare it with the more than 100 photos, are they all similar in shape? I made a The experiment is to make a model. Inside the model, the blood vessels are the same as the human body, with red liquid flowing inside, but the pressure is similar to that of human blood vessels, including the different pressures of arteries and veins, skin toughness, etc. The human body is similar, and the size of the model is the same as that of the poor kid in the photo of that kid Kato murdering. , the traces of blood spattering are very similar to the traces in the basement of Kato's house."

"And the room I experimented with, no matter its size or the location of the instruments of torture, are all from the restored photos, which means it is exactly the same as the basement of Kato's house."

Lu Ming said from the side: "In the basement, there are no torture instruments now, only in the photos."

All the jurors still have educational requirements, and some of them have gradually nodded their heads, understanding what it means.

"And after more than 100 experiments, I have proved that the traces of human blood spattering are inevitable. You see, if you use the same knife to injure from the same angle, the same part, even if the force is different, the blood The traces of sputtering are generally similar."

"Therefore, there is no doubt that the photo of Masaichi Kato's murder can be considered true!"

Lu Ming nodded and asked, "Then, Professor Wen Zaixu, as a Royal Academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, what is your attitude towards experiments?"

In the jury seat, someone has already exclaimed, a royal academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences?
This old man?No, this old gentleman?
Professor Wen looked at Lu Ming, frowned and said, "Nonsense!"

Lu Ming smiled, and turned to look at the jury, "Professor Wen will pay attention to the details of any experiment, so he can make those great discoveries. Before drawing any conclusions, if Professor Wen does not seriously verify and do If there are no flaws, then Professor Wen will not be able to achieve what he is today."

"I have no problem!" Turning around, he walked to the prosecutor's seat.

Professor Wen looked at the jury seat, "Do you understand what I said?"

Some jurors nodded in flattery. Although they immediately knew it was wrong, they were not ashamed. After all, what a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences represents, they have at least received a secondary education, of course they understand very well.

Feng Xuefan shook his head, the witnesses and the jurors directly established a dialogue relationship, but he couldn't hit the gavel.

Shan Jingfan got up and came to the witness stand.

"Professor Wen Zaixu, who first thought of this experiment?" Shan Jingfan asked.

Professor Wen's expression turned a little off, and after a while, he said angrily, "It's Lu Xiaoyou..., no, that little bastard Lu Qianxing thought of it!"

Apparently, I was a little depressed that this new discovery, which was enough to change the history of criminal investigation, was not my original creation.

Although compared to the attainments of the scientific community, these are all pediatrics.

Lu Ming was stunned. Unexpectedly, he subconsciously called himself "Little Friend Lu".

Shan Jingfan was also taken aback, glanced at Lu Ming, and was greatly surprised, the answer was completely different from what he thought.

After thinking about it, I could only continue to ask: "Professor Wen Zaixu, although you are a respectable professional in the scientific field, your research field is not in medicine, right?"

Professor Wen looked at him and grinned, "Boy, I know what you want to say, but this is not medical expertise at all. At most, it is a problem involving different pressures of arteries and veins. Moreover, when I was doing the experiment, I found The assistant is Xiao Zhao from Jinghai Hospital, the vice president, an expert in blood, if necessary, I can call him over right now!"

Shan Jingfan nodded: "Okay, then Professor Wen, is there such a possibility, that is, the person who forged the photo took the same posture to hurt the child beforehand, and would also produce such blood spatter marks?"

"Objection!" Lu Ming stood up immediately, and pointed to his watch, "Just two hours ago, the defense lawyer swore that he believed Uncle Wang's confession was true and that Uncle Wang killed those children! "

"As for me, in the questioning statement, Uncle Wang's killing posture is the same. They all stab and kill people indiscriminately, which is not similar to the serial killer's method. But Shan Jingfan's lawyer said, I am talking nonsense!"

"Could it be that now, lawyer Shan Jingfan thinks that Uncle Wang's confession is fabricated? Uncle Wang's confession is false? Lawyer Shan Jingfan starts to agree with our point of view? Uncle Wang is not the murderer?!"

The jurors were also dumbfounded. Thinking about it, it was true that it happened just now. Before doing this experiment, lawyer Shan Jingfan firmly believed that those children were all a man named Uncle Wang. Stabbed to death on the ground.

The young Lawyer Lu questioned this method of killing, and was sprayed by him. The sprayed Lawyer Lu was miserable, and there was no room for retaliation.

Now, this guy is beginning to think that Lawyer Lu is right?Children, didn't Uncle Wang press down and kill them?

Just to defend your client?Still play like this?
Do you really take us for fools? !
When looking at Shan Jingfan, some of the jurors were very angry, while others were very contemptuous.

Still think we are stupid, who is stupid? !
Some people looked at Shan Jingfan's dumbfounded expression, and even wanted to laugh, this stupid guy!Still look down on us!
Lu Ming said more forcefully: "Moreover, Professor Wen Zaixu and Dean Zhao just finished this experiment last night, which confirmed the theory of blood splatter traces. I don't think that the murderer can be compared to Wen Zaixu. The IQ and professionalism of Professor Zaixu and Dean Zhao were predicted to be framed by this method a few months ago!"

The jurors also nodded, feeling that this statement was very true.

The last sentence is to take the opportunity to help Professor Wen answer the trap set by the other party. Professor Wen may not be able to handle this kind of trick of cross-examination techniques.

Shan Jingfan was stunned at this moment, what was he doing while watching a movie, and he didn't take it seriously when he questioned Uncle Wang's confession, after all, he couldn't question what the other party said, it was just a conditioned reflex Cope with it like this, and even forget what I said, let alone such a thing.

Suddenly, Shan Jingfan's face changed drastically, and he looked at Lu Ming sharply.

Everything, everything was designed by this guy?

To question Uncle Wang's confession is to prepare for the present?

Even including the seemingly big disadvantages in the past, all to paralyze himself?
He looked at Cheng Lingyu suddenly, but he saw Cheng Lingyu looked calm and looked at himself quietly.

Shan Jingfan also noticed that the jurors looked at themselves as if they were looking at a clown.

If in court, the representative lawyer becomes a laughing stock in the eyes of the jurors, then it is almost impossible to win this lawsuit, because the lawyer's words are no longer convincing.

"Lawyer Shan Jingfan, do you have any questions?" Feng Xuefan couldn't help reminding Shan Jingfan when he saw that Shan Jingfan was standing still.

Shan Jingfan's mind was confused for a while, since he entered the legal profession, he has never experienced such a reversal.

"Lawyer Shan Jingfan!" Feng Xuefan raised his voice.

Shan Jingfan snapped back to his senses, looked left and right, and hurriedly said: "Your Honor, because the experiments listed by the prosecution have never been mentioned to the defense, so the defense needs time to prepare, I request an adjournment!"

Lu Ming stood up: "Your Honor, I still have questions to cross-examine witness No. 21!"

Feng Xuefan nodded, the witnesses are still on the witness stand, no matter who wants to cross-examine, there is no reason to adjourn the court now.

Lu Ming took two steps forward and said to Wen Zaixu: "Professor Wen, this case has received a lot of attention. Have you read any relevant reports in the newspapers?"

Wen Zaixu nodded: "I've seen some!"

Lu Ming said: "For example, the reporter who broke the news at the very beginning, Kim Jong-soo, disappeared... that is, after he hid in the courtyard for more than a month, he was hit and killed by a car. The driver was a terminal lung cancer patient. His family members all immigrated to Japan. , have you seen this report?!"

Shan Jingfan, who was in a daze, suddenly came back to his senses, and stood up: "Objection!"

Lu Ming bowed slightly to the judge's bench, "Your Honor, I just want to prove why Professor Wen Zaixu did this experiment, and why this small experiment made Professor Wen treat it as the most important scientific experiment! The proof is in this In the experiment, Professor Wen is so serious that no mistakes will be made, and the results can stand any test!"

Feng Xuefan nodded and waved to Shan Jingfan.

Shan Jingfan sat down helplessly.

"Yes, I've read the reports on this!" Professor Wen nodded.

"Then, Mr. Masaichi Kato's servant, Uncle Wang, after being arrested for molesting a boy, confessed at the police station that the blood stains in Mr. Kato's basement were all caused by his murder. Have you read this report?"

"Seen……"

"Shortly after Uncle Wang finished his statement, he died of a heart attack. Did you know that?"

"I know!" Wen Zaixu's eyes were filled with impatience, and he was probably scolding, little bastard, why do you use me as a tool?
Lu Ming nodded: "Well, the reporter who broke the news was hit and killed by a car. The murderer was a terminally ill patient who would die soon. He was originally from a poor family, but his family members immigrated to Dongying and lived in a big bungalow; The second search found that in the basement of Masaichi Kato's villa, there were a large number of blood stains that had been washed and processed. Soon after, the servant Wang Bo surrendered himself to the police station. I can understand it as surrender. After surrendering, he died inexplicably; Mr. Kato had an affair, and suddenly he had the courage to admit it by himself! No matter what family rules or anything, two close relatives can deceive people, can we trust their testimony?"

"In the photo of Mr. Kato's murder, the traces of blood spatter that should have been caused are very similar to the traces of blood that the prosecution found in the basement search."

"It is true that many things have chances and various coincidences, but if many chances point to the same possibility, then this possibility is the truth, and it is inevitable!"

Lu Ming looked at the jury, "And the truth is, Kato Masaichi is the real murderer, so we can explain everything!" His hand pointed at Kato Masaichi.

The jurors also looked over, looking at that, their faces were pale, and even the eyes of the young Japanese nobles who were frightened.

Lu Ming also looked at him. At this moment, this young man who had always been gloomy seemed to have fear in his heart. It turned out that he was not really fearless, but the power behind him gave him courage. In fact, , In his bones, he is just a soft-hearted softie, who can only cover up his cowardice and incompetence by hurting weaker people, and experience the taste of being a strong man.

"I will watch you go to the gallows with my own eyes, and tell those little guys that their souls can forget all the horrors here, and go to another world happily!" Lu Ming looked at Kato Masaichi quietly. What he said to him was also said to himself, perhaps, it was also said to the few little souls in the void who might be looking at all this in fear.

The jurors suddenly felt sympathetic in their hearts.

Yes, this case, even during the trial, forgot its original intention, forgot those poor children, forgot what kind of pain and fear they experienced, before they died in pain, probably, life In hell.

The hell made by that demon!

Feng Xuefan also sat quietly. Lu Ming's last sentence was actually against the rules, but he didn't give a warning.

The strange thing is that Shan Jingfan didn't say anything, didn't get up to object, but just sat there blankly, as if everything here had nothing to do with him.

The whole court was very quiet, as if mourning those poor children.

After a long time, the judge tapped the gavel lightly and announced the adjournment.

……

In the far corner of the auditorium, a man wearing a top hat sighed softly.

I come to every class just to see him. At first, I was a little disappointed, thinking that I saw the wrong person.

But I don't want to, the wonderful one will always be at the end.

The defense, from a nearly 100% winning rate, died suddenly!
However, I don't know why, after watching this session, it makes people feel that it is an insult to him to judge him only by his winning percentage and court defense skills.

In the end, my eye sockets are a little moist, aren't they?
Liu Hanxuan got up slowly. At this moment, he just wanted to go home, have a good drink with his wife, and offer a toast to those little souls, hoping that they could rest in peace, and that their afterlife would be happy instead of suffering. Happy life!

In another corner, a pair of green eyes stared at Lu Ming's slightly thin figure, the circles around his eyes were red, but his eyes were so fiery.

Although she was very low-key in a black windbreaker and tried to sit in the corner as much as possible, but the people next to her automatically vacated seats for her and dared not sit next to her. This blonde beauty is too beautiful, and the aristocratic black flower-embellished top hat , showing her unusual identity.

Pamela didn't know what she was thinking, but when she heard that this case was in court, she couldn't help but come and sit for a while.

Now, my heart is sore, I want to cry, I want to hold Bisi and cry, I want to tell Bisi how much I love her, and I hope she will be happy forever.

But it was beating wildly again, especially when the man glanced over at random, his heart seemed to jump out of his chest involuntarily.

Pamela left the court as if fleeing, only regretting why she came.
