Chapter 195 Feili’s interrogation techniques
Dianshan Shisan's conflicting and self-contradictory confessions completely exposed his true face as a murderer in front of others.
The eyes everyone looked at him became extremely strange.
"No, no." Dianshan Shisan was completely confused:
"I just remembered it wrong."
"I don't smell chlorine at home, it's..."
His brain was in chaos and he couldn't even make up a decent piece of work. He could only yell hysterically like a mad dog forced into a corner:
"Anyway, I wasn't poisoned in that bathroom!"
"You want to prove that I killed someone, don't you have to prove this?"
Dianshan Shisan seemed to turn into an irrational ETC in despair, seizing on the only loophole he could find to argue crazily.
Lin Xinyi smiled disdainfully:
This guy couldn't even make up a complete lie, and his confession was full of holes.
Even if the evidence chain is not complete and flawless, the judge will never turn against him in court.
"Actually, what Mr. Dianshan said makes sense."
Lin Xinyi was admiring Dianshan Thirteen's clumsy performance of jumping over the wall, while Feili Li, who was quietly watching the show, suddenly spoke leisurely:
"Although all the evidence now points to Mr. Dianshan, there are still loopholes that can be exploited."
"If a top team of lawyers can be hired to defend him, there may be some hope of getting out of jail."
"Huh?" Dianshan Shisan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He was like a drowning man who was about to drown, trying hard to grasp the straw that appeared in front of him:
"No, that's right! Did everyone hear it?"
"You want to say that I am the murderer, but your evidence is not enough!"
Dianshan Shisan felt as if he had taken a bite of a Snickers bar, and his pulse returned instantly.
"Mom!" Mao Lilan's delicate face was suddenly filled with anxiety.
The way she looked at her mother now was not just complaining, but a little angry:
"Why do you always speak for criminals?!"
“The role of our lawyers is to safeguard the client’s legitimate rights and interests during this process and protect his rights granted by the law from being infringed upon by judicial authorities.”
"If there are loopholes that can be exploited in a criminal case, that's not a problem for our lawyers, but a problem for the prosecutors."
Fei Miles said such words in a calm tone that no one could criticize, as if she was putting her daughter on the spot as the prosecution's opponent in court.
"Isn't this just making excuses!"
Miss Mori's face bulged with anger.
She suddenly discovered that her mother's profession was so annoying.
"Haha. Don't be angry."
Feili smiled at her daughter, and then restrained her tit-for-tat momentum:
"Xiaolan, I really hope you can become a detective and forensic doctor who can stand alone."
"I hope you can one day use undoubted evidence so that even lawyers like mom can find loopholes."
Her voice was full of expectations, but Mao Lilan couldn't listen.
"Is now the time to say these things?"
"Because of what you said, mom, that bastard doesn't even want to admit his guilt now!"
Looking at Dianshan Thirteen who was becoming arrogant again, Mao Lilan's expression was very anxious.
"It's okay." Feili shook her head gently, with a smile on her lips.
Then, she turned to look at Dianshan Thirteen and said in a playful tone:
"By the way, Mr. Dianshan, I just forgot to add."
"Although there is a glimmer of hope of being exonerated, all the evidence now points to you. After all, you are in an extremely disadvantageous situation."
"Ordinary lawyers would simply not dare to accept such a trust that is bound to fail, and even I would probably hesitate before giving up."
"So, you probably have to hire Mr. Simpson's 'dream team' from the United States to win in court."
A lawyer of Feili's level is indeed a very scary existence.
As long as the evidence is even slightly incomplete, they can use it as a breakthrough to defend their client's innocence.
Even if there is no problem with the evidence, they can invalidate the evidence by looking for procedural flaws in the police's handling of the case.
The advantage of this is that it can avoid unjust, false and wrongful convictions to the greatest extent, but the disadvantage of course is that it may allow the murderer to go free.
For example, Fei Lili knew very well that the case handled by her daughter's childhood sweetheart was something that she knew very well.
If she were allowed to defend the murderer, more than 90% of the time she would be able to successfully reverse her confession in court and win an acquittal.
Compared with Kudo Shinichi, although Lin Shinyi and Mao Lilan are more particular about evidence when handling cases, they are still not without loopholes upon closer inspection.
Therefore, in theory, if a strong enough team of lawyers can be hired, it is possible for Dianshan Shisan to be freed from guilt.
But the problem is.
This level of service is very expensive.
It’s so expensive that even ordinary wealthy people can’t afford it.
In 1995, the American rugby star Mr. Simpson used this method to successfully escape guilt. However, he later went bankrupt due to the payment of civil compensation and lawyer fees. He even owed the lawyer US$2 million, which he has never paid back.
He did not dare to look for a job for many years because he knew that as soon as his salary was paid, it would be forcibly confiscated by the court.
In 2007, Mr. Simpson led a group of robbers to rob hotels and casinos.
This time he had no money to hire a "dream team" of lawyers and was sentenced to 33 years.
"There is indeed a possibility of getting away with it."
Feili looked up and down at Dianshan Shisan's attire, which was definitely not luxurious:
"But, Mr. Dianshan, do you have money?"
"I" Dianshan Shisan was completely stupid.
He is just a school football coach.
A big-name football star has been squeezed dry. How can he, a small school coach, afford a top lawyer?
Therefore, faced with Feili’s soul questioning, Dianshan Shisan collapsed immediately:
Does committing a crime depend on whether you have money?
This society is too real!
As an ordinary middle-class person living in Tokyo, Toyama Shisan found that his struggle was meaningless.
So what if there are loopholes? With his little wealth, can he afford it?
This is not a game that ordinary people like him can play.
"Mr. Dianshan, if you don't have money, please plead guilty."
"If you take the initiative to cooperate during the confession process, you might even get a reduced sentence."
Feili's tone was still so calm, but there was an inexplicable sarcasm in her words.
In fact, she knows best that not every case requires the prosecutor to provide a flawless chain of evidence that makes people "unable to argue".
Only wealthy people who can afford sky-high legal fees are eligible to enjoy this top-notch treatment.
So Feili knew that Dianshan Shisan, whose family background was average, had little hope of making a comeback from the beginning.
Later, I also heard that there might be hair and dander of the deceased on Dianshan Shisan’s clothes.
Feili knew in her heart that with this level of evidence, few people in the industry would dare to take on such a "defeatable" lawsuit where the case was so unfavorable to the client.
Later, Lin Xinyi revealed Dianshan Shisan's symptoms of chlorine poisoning, and Dianshan Shisan also made a self-contradictory confession in public.
Fei Li was even more certain that even if she was asked to take action now, she might not be sure to exonerate Mr. Dianshan.
At this point, Dianshan Thirteen is already certain to lose.
"Do you still want to insist?"
Feili's words seemed to have magic power.
Her previous words made Dianshan Thirteen find hope, and now she said a few more words, ruthlessly pushing him into the abyss:
“Instead of going bankrupt and owing loan sharks to pay for legal fees, maybe it would be more comfortable to go to jail.”
"What's more, with your wealth, you probably won't be able to support it even if you borrow a loan shark."
Hearing this, Lin Xinyi and Mao Lilan couldn't help but cast a "skilled" look at this undefeated queen of the legal world:
It turns out that there is this kind of interrogation method that forces people to confess.
They had never thought of this before, so they had been arguing with the suspect for so long in vain.
Now looking back and thinking about it carefully, according to the laws of wealth distribution in society, I am afraid that only a small group of people standing at the top of the pyramid are qualified to argue with them.
"Well, mom is right."
Although Mao Lilan instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this kind of justice distributed according to money.
But since the situation was favorable to her side, she still agreed with her mother's statement and advised Dianshan Thirteen:
"Mr. Dianshan, you'd better plead guilty!"
"Cooperating with the plea of guilty can reduce the sentence appropriately and save a lot of money."
If you litigate, you will lose everything, but if you don’t litigate, you will save 100%.
"I" Dianshan Shisan's face turned dark.
He knew there was no chance of him making a comeback.
Moreover, what is unacceptable is that he lost in the end because he had no money.
"You bastards are bullying others too much!"
When he committed the murder, he imagined he would get away with it, but now jail time is inevitable.
In despair, Dianshan Shisan completely fell into madness.
He was originally a muscular man with a simple mind and well-developed limbs, but when he got angry, he looked like a brown bear with explosive hair.
"Get out of my way!"
Dianshan Thirteen was like a mad bull, losing his mind and rushing out of the cafe door.
And Feili stood in front of him.
This beautiful lady looked so soft and frail that she seemed to fall down at the slightest touch.
But at this moment, her eyes hidden under the gold-rimmed glasses quietly became sharp, like a knife about to be unsheathed.
And the knife didn't have time to be unsheathed.
Because Dianshan Thirteen didn't have time to rush in front of Feili.
"Mom!" Accompanied by an anxious shout, Mao Lilan's figure flashed over.
She kicked sideways and whipped her legs, and her slender calves seemed to turn into heavy siege hammers, hitting Dianshan Thirteen's chest hard.
"Ah!!!" A cry of pain, accompanied by a dull loud noise.
The burly bear-like figure of Dianshan Thirteen flew backwards, knocking over several tables and smashing half of the wall.
"justifiable defense!"
"This is self-defense!"
Lin Xinyi stood up and explained like a conditioned reflex:
"This murderer actually attacked two weak and helpless women. He is really vicious and heart-rending!"
"Nonsense!"
Dianshan Thirteen spit out a mouthful of blood, endured the severe pain, and said angrily.
"Is this self-defense?!"
He felt like all the bones in his body were shaking, as if he was about to fall apart in the next second.
If he hadn't also practiced it, his life would have been lost just now.
"This is self-defense."
Fei Li stepped forward and quietly protected Mao Lilan behind her:
"If you are not convinced, you can hire a lawyer to sue us."
Dianshan Thirteen: "."
In grief, anger and pain, he completely gave up struggling.
