I don't know the East is white

Chapter 60 Public Enemy ([-])

Ding Changle's disappearance caught Dongfangchai by surprise. Her briefcase was no longer in order, there were no pasted lottery signs in the documents, and no one arranged a schedule to remind her when to go to court.Some glue-like characters are only known to be precious after they are lost.But Nie Fei's lawsuit is imminent, so she can't be distracted from other things.

She has only one goal now, which is to defeat Tang Jibai.After her father died, it almost became her obsession.If it wasn't for this goal to support her, she wouldn't know how to get through these muddled days.

"Unscrupulous lawyers will do anything for fame and fortune!"

"One dead body, two lives, God forbids it!"

A large crowd of demonstrators gathered at the gate of the court, as well as reporters waiting to surround her.The driver glanced worriedly at the angry people outside. "Lawyer Dongfang, shall we get off at another place?"

"No. Just stay here. You go first, and come to pick me up after the court."

Dongfang Bai got out of the car with his briefcase and the standard red-soled high heels.

"Is it her? It's her, it's her." Many reporters noticed this imposing female lawyer and ran towards her with their machines.

"Lawyer Dongfang, may I ask why you appealed for Nie Fei?"

"Because my client was unfairly adjudicated."

"So, even if Nie Fei ran over a pregnant woman by driving back and forth three times, resulting in the death of both mother and child, do you still think he is innocent?"

"I didn't say that. His crimes are morally unforgivable, but legally not beyond death."

"Why would you defend an unforgivable man?"

"Ordinary people are used to thinking about issues from the standpoint of victims, but lawyers can't have a preset position. So I don't think there is anything wrong with me. If people can be convicted at will based on the anger of the people, then the judiciary will It doesn't make sense to exist."

"But the judiciary should serve the people, right?"

"No. Let me correct you. Judges serve the judiciary, not the people..."

"Bitch!" An egg flew out from the crowd and hit Dongfang Chao on the head, interrupting her interview.A mixture of yellow and white liquid hangs stickily on her hair.

"Do you still have any conscience? Exonerate such a person!" Someone took the lead, and the scolding became more intense.Didn't care what she said at all.

The security rushed out and escorted Dongfangchai into the court.

Dongfang Bai calmly cleaned the egg shells and liquid from his head in the bathroom.The drops of water dripped down the hair on the sink. She looked at herself in the mirror and asked herself repeatedly, is she really right?

In fact, she was not as sure of what she was doing now as she had shown before. Pregnant women covered in blood often appeared in her dreams these days.She knew that once Nie Fei was exonerated, the harm to the victim's family would be devastating.

When the judiciary and human nature stood on opposite sides, Dongfangchai doubted his belief for the first time.

As soon as she walked out of the bathroom door, a handkerchief was handed to her.

Tang Jibai leaned against the wall and asked her. "How are you?"

She knocked off the square handkerchief in his hand. "You might as well ask yourself, will you lose the lawsuit later?"

"Xiao Bai, don't do anything you regret just to fight against me."

"Oh. You think too much of yourself."

The second trial was held, in order to prevent riots.The court adopts a closed trial, and the entire court has only the presiding judge of the collegial panel, the prosecution, the parties and their defense lawyers.

"...The facts of the defendant Nie Fei's crime are clear, the evidence chain is complete, and he has pleaded guilty. The prosecution believes that there is no basis for commutation of sentence, and the original sentence should be upheld." Tang Jibai put forward the above proposition after stating the facts of the case.

"Judge, please allow me to cross-examine my client again."

"allow."

“聂飞，你是否承认自己于2018年3月30日深夜02:30驾驶一辆银灰色宾利超速至120公里，并于凤凰路与清河路交界处撞倒受害者彭慧娇？”

"I admit."

"After you knocked her down, did you get out of the car to check her condition?"

"Have."

"Please describe in detail what you saw at the time."

"Peng Huijiao was knocked into the air by me and landed on the ground tens of meters away. I ran over and saw her face was covered in blood. I couldn't recognize her face, and she had a big belly. I realized that she was pregnant. I I was terrified and nudged her and she didn't respond. I sat where I was for a few minutes and then went back to the car."

"Did you confirm that the victim was dead?"

"No... I dare not."

"Okay, thank you presiding judge, I'm done asking."

It was Tang Jibai's turn to play. "What did you do when you got back in the car?"

"I... I drove back and ran over her three times."

"Bastard! You are not human!" Peng Huijiao's husband yelled angrily in the hearing booth, and threw a stainless steel kettle at Nie Fei.Nie Fei didn't dare to hide, the kettle hit him, and he could only stand still.

The presiding judge sighed softly and tapped the gavel symbolically. "Please pay attention to court order."

Peng Huijiao's family held back her husband, so there was only continuous sobbing in the courtroom.

Tang Jibai continued to question Nie Fei. "Why are you doing this?"

Nie Fei hugged his head and inserted his hands deeply into his hair. "I don't know why I did such an inhumane thing. At that time, I saw her eyes staring at me dazedly in blood, and I knew she saw my face. I was afraid that she would ask me to lose money, and she still With the child in her womb, even if she kills me, I won’t be able to afford it! My dad died early and still owes a huge amount of debt. My mom has been working several jobs at the same time to pay back the money, and it’s hard to raise me. Big, but I'm still just a car wash boy. I can't imagine her family looking for us to collect debts. I think maybe I crushed her to death, so no one would know that I did it. It was already midnight at that time, No one saw that I hit it. But I couldn’t help telling my mother about it when I got home, and she immediately persuaded me to turn myself in, and we went to the police station to report the incident.”

"So you crushed her to death just because you didn't want to lose money?"

"Yes...my family can't bear any debts anymore." Nie Fei shed tears of regret.Others can't understand his inexplicable motives, only he himself knows what it's like to be chased by debt collectors since childhood and dare not go out.When he was a child, he had to fasten three door latches every day when he went to sleep, and he had to give a signal to his mother before he dared to open the door.Every day faced the possibility of his mother dying in the street or leaving him behind.

"For self-interest, he put two lives at risk and destroyed a happy family. Judge, I don't see any reason for the defendant to be sympathetic, let alone a basis for a lenient punishment."

"Judge, I also don't think the defendant deserves sympathy." Dongfang Bai stood up and took Tang Jibai's words, and everyone looked at her in surprise. "But his behavior did not constitute the crime of intentional homicide. How can a person intentionally kill a dead body?"
