Lu Ming’s cross-examination continued. He stood in front of Zhao Jinsong and said loudly: “Because you are related, you have long planned how to frame Long Daxing, because the new police chief , deliberately targeted Long Daxing, so you did what he wanted. The new police chief targeted Long Daxing. This is something we all know. Legal gambling dens and opium dens have been shut down. After this lawsuit, we will officially Complaint against Wu’an Police Station…”

“Objection! What the defense said has nothing to do with this case!” Li Mingxuan stood up suddenly.

Boris nodded: “The objection is valid. Defense, please pay attention to the direction of the question.” He also said to the jury: “Now to give court guidance, the defense question just now should be treated as Didn’t hear it.”

Lu Ming looked back at Li Mingxuan and said, “Yes, the main prosecutor in this case also has a gambling den and an opium den at home. After the police took action against Long Daxing, your opium den and opium den should have made a lot more money. Right? ”

Li Mingxuan, who had just sat down, suddenly stood up.

Lu Ming has raised his hand, “I take back my question.”

Boris waved and Lu Ming stepped forward. Boris said with a cold face: “Don’t play these little tricks in my court.”

“Okay, your honor!” Lu Ming nodded.

Li Mingxuan’s face was livid. He looked at the jury and saw confusion on their faces. Some were pointing at him and talking about something. Although Lu Ming said he would retract his words, in fact, it would shake the jurors’ logic.

Look at Lu Ming and then look at Xie Wenquan.

Xie Wenquan still looked indifferent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Mingxuan gritted his teeth. If he was the instigator behind all this, then he is too powerful and a terrible opponent.

Predicting that he would object, Church Lu Ming took the opportunity to naturally mention the conflict of interest between his family business and Long Daxing’s business.

On the other hand, Lu Ming was probably only six or seven years old when he had such a clear mind and could remember such complicated behaviors.

Cheer up!

Li Mingxuan gritted his teeth.

Lu Ming looked at the jury and nodded in the same way. The requirements for jurors are not that high nowadays. Even during the trial, whispering about the case is not strictly prohibited.

“Witness, please answer me, did you and Zhao Yuancheng plan the whole frame-up incident! By the way, did you get rid of Long Daxing, the one you hate the most?! “Lu Ming waved his hands in front of Zhao Jinsong provocatively, with a frivolous look on his face.

Li Mingxuan’s heart immediately lifted.

Zhao Jinsong’s eyelids twitched, his face flushed, and his hands clenched his fists more tightly, looking like he was about to explode.

Li Mingxuan suddenly stood up and said, “Jinsong, calm down!” He would rather be reprimanded by the judge than not do something at this critical moment. Otherwise, if this witness is deprived of his qualification to testify, the case will be difficult.

After all, if you can use off-board moves, it’s better not to use them.

This case was inherently easy. If he wanted to resort to outside measures, Director Shi Zaixin would have to re-evaluate his abilities.

“Prosecution!” Boris knocked the gavel impatiently.

In fact, in the north, because the behavior of the police department is incompatible with Westerners, most of these Western judges have a bad impression of the police.

However, how much benefit did Boris receive from himself? My favorite mistress now was given to me by myself.

Li Mingxuan cursed secretly in his heart, Westerners are all like this, they all appear sanctimonious on the surface, but in fact they are all hypocrites.

I promised in private that not only would I guide the jury to convict Lu Ming, but they would also sentence both Lu Ming and Lu Ming severely and send them to the gallows together.

He also promised that even if the jury acquits the two men, he will exercise the judge’s final arbitration power and overturn the jury’s decision.

It is rare for a judge to overturn a jury’s decision, but Boris was stunned by his mistress, but he vaguely agreed.

Nowadays, on the surface, there are five people pretending to be six people.

Li Mingxuan was filled with disdain, but watched Zhao Jinsong’s reaction nervously.

Zhao Jinsong, as if awakened by Li Mingxuan’s words, took a deep breath and looked at Lu Ming coldly, “What you said is all based on imagination. Do you have any evidence?”

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, with a trace of disappointment on his face as he stood blankly.

“Defense, do you have any more questions?” After waiting for a minute, Boris asked cheerfully.

“No more for now!” Lu Ming slowly walked to his seat, with a disappointed look on his face.

Li Mingxuan stood up and walked to Zhao Jinsong, “Witness, please tell us in detail about your relationship with Zhao Yuancheng.”

“Zhao Yuancheng and I are the same grandfather, but my great-grandfather’s generation not only started a lawsuit with Zhao Yuancheng’s great-grandfather because of the land division, but also fought against each other. My great-grandmother was frightened and died that year. “Death, to my generation, although the hatred in the past does not want to be passed down from generation to generation forever, Zhao Yuancheng and I have never said a word before this case, and we have also had lawsuits before.”

Li Mingxuan nodded and looked at Boris, “In court, I have more than a dozen witnesses who can prove this.” He suddenly pointed to a middle-aged man in the jury, “Actually, Wang Xianli knows best ”

Lu Ming stood up suddenly, “Objection, I request to re-select the juror because the juror violated the principle of neutrality and has an interest in the witness!”

Li Mingxuan was overjoyed. He looked at Lu Ming, who was trapped in a corner and still fighting, and said with a smile: “I say Wang Xiangli knows best. It’s not that Wang Xiangli knows the two witnesses, Zhao Jinsong and Zhao Yuancheng, but because when Wang Xiangli was working at Beining Evening News, The evening newspaper published an apology statement from Zhao Jinsong’s father. After Zhao Jinsong and Zhao Yuancheng’s father lost the lawsuit, he had to publish an apology in the newspaper and later became seriously ill. Of course, Wang Xiangli must not have remembered this apology statement, but here I am There are newspapers from that year.”

Go back to the table, pick up a newspaper, and send it to Boris’ high table. “Exhibit A of miscellaneous evidence is this newspaper.”

Boris looked at it, nodded, and then signaled the bailiff to give the newspaper to the jury members to check one by one. He frowned and said to Li Mingxuan: “If you talk directly to the jurors again, I will declare this lawsuit to be a mistrial. You need to re-indict the defendant and the court will reconstitute the jury.”

“Okay your honor, but I didn’t talk to the jurors other than to point out that one of the jurors used to work at the Exhibit Newspaper.”

Li Mingxuan said, raising his voice, “Just imagine, how could two people with such a bad relationship conspire to frame a false accusation? What’s more, before this case, Zhao Yuancheng was a close confidant of Long Daxing, with a good income, and he looked down on the small police officer at all. , although Officer Zhao Jinsong is a very upright person!”

Looking back at Lu Ming, he slowly walked back to the prosecution seat and also glanced at the auditorium.

New Director Shi Zaixin nodded with satisfaction.

Li Mingxuan slowly sat down and closed his eyes slightly. This Lu Ming had offended the jurors and the case was lost; he had also offended Director Shi Zaixin. He might not even have to go to the gallows. Even if he wanted to appeal for time, this During this period, he should have lost his life in the prison. Who told him that he was a heavy smoker and everyone knew that he was weak?

The Double Dragon Society will not spare him at all, and Director Shi Zaixin will also tell the warden to turn a blind eye.

“The defense requests to cross-examine the witness again!” Lu Ming raised his hand.

Boris nodded.

According to the Imperial Procedural Law, during the witness’s attendance, the defense and prosecution can take turns cross-examining each other and raise their own questions regarding the other party’s last unfavorable question. There is no limit to the number of times.

Of course, if no new doubts are raised, the judge will naturally stop the case.

Lu Ming came to Zhao Jinsong again, “So, Officer Zhao Jinsong, you and Zhao Yuancheng could be said to be strangers beforehand, right?”

Zhao Jinsong sneered on his face and nodded.

“Please answer my question.” Lu Ming stared at him.

“Yes, we are strangers, so to speak.” Zhao Jinsong looked impatient.

Lu Ming nodded, “So, you didn’t have any premeditation beforehand? The collision between the bicycle you were riding and the car driven by Zhao Yuancheng was just an accident, right?”

“Objection, object to the defense asking two questions at the same time when cross-examining witnesses.” Li Mingxuan suddenly raised his hand.

The court cross-examines a witness. Each time a question is asked, the witness must answer the question before the next question can be asked. This is basic common sense for lawyers.

A police officer at the prosecution table said sarcastically: “I now doubt that the defense does not understand the law at all, so it breaks the law. The adulterer** conspired to murder.”

“In court, my two questions are actually one question.” Lu Ming said to Boris, then turned to look at the police officer and said with a smile: “Please note that I am defending myself now. If I lack basic legal knowledge, and if the court allows me to defend myself, then I will have sufficient grounds to appeal the outcome of this lawsuit. Does the prosecution understand this? Why did they give me such obvious grounds for appeal? What?”

Li Mingxuan frowned and glared at the police officer. The police officer was an old man in his fifties. His face turned purple and he was speechless.

“Continue… the witnesses answer the defense questions.” Boris waved his hand like a fly.

Zhao Jinsong looked at Lu Ming with a sneer, “Yes, it was very clear in the testimony. I rode my bicycle into Zhongjie, and I didn’t expect to encounter a car driven by Zhao Yuancheng, who was going the wrong way, and that’s when I collided.”

Lu Ming nodded and murmured, “It seems that Zhao Yuancheng did not deliberately go retrograde to create opportunities for you.”

Defense lawyer Xie Wenquan, who was sitting next to Long Daxing, immediately shook his head helplessly.

Originally, I saw a fierce argument in a daze, but when I came back to my senses, I noticed the case again.

I didn’t expect that Lu Ming, a heavy smoker, seemed to have received guidance from an expert and had a unique breakthrough point. He wanted to frame up the police and attack the prosecution witness who lost his temper. The situation was likely to change subtly.

I don’t want to be cracked by the lead police officer Li Mingxuan soon.

Up to now, Lu Ming said to himself that he had admitted this and actually said it, which meant that all the previous efforts were in vain.

This is simply the lowest level of mistake. He admitted in court that he had begun to make mistakes in judgment, and the jurors could even hear him talking to himself.

Li Mingxuan showed a faint smile of pride on his face, glanced at Xie Wenquan, and thought to himself, you didn’t tell me the details on the spot. You didn’t expect him to be such an idiot, right? No matter how powerful you are, can you really lift the mud up the wall?
