Chapter 499 The Third Murderer
At the same time.
The presiding judge walked to his position, and when everyone was present, he slammed the gavel heavily.
As the sound of the gavel rang out.
The noisy voices at the scene quickly quieted down.
Because of the special nature of the case, everyone was extremely nervous, and their eyes were fixed on the figures in the court.
And Chen Feng's opponent this time was still the legal staff member he met in the last Yaoshen case, Wang Dachui.
The presiding judge briefly learned the details of the case.
The charge on Wang Dachui's side was intentional homicide.
The defendant's defense was not guilty.
The presiding judge narrowed his eyes and confirmed with Chen Feng again.
"Defendant, are you sure it is a not guilty defense instead of a sentence reduction?"
He had seen this case before, and all the suspects had died, and now only Ye Qi was left.
It can be said that all the evidence pointed to her as the murderer. If Ye Qi was really the murderer, it would be unwise for Chen Feng to make a not guilty defense at this time.
"Sure."
Chen Feng did not hesitate at all.
The presiding judge looked at Wang Dachui again: "What about you?"
"I won't change either."
"Okay."
After confirming, the presiding judge's expression became more serious and he began to question both parties separately.
Criminal cases are different from civil cases in that both parties need to present evidence and question each other in order to find a breakthrough.
Wang Dachui took the lead and said, "Chen Feng, I know you are very capable, but the current evidence has pointed to Ms. Ye Qi as the murderer. I suggest that you quickly change from innocent defense to sentence reduction defense."
"What if I don't?"
"Then your defense will be meaningless."
Wang Dachui stood up and looked at the presiding judge: "Presiding judge, I have evidence that Ye Qi is the murderer. First of all, let's talk about the motive. The victim this time is named Song Jun. He is the younger brother of the murderer who killed Ms. Ye Qi's ex-husband ten years ago."
"I think she is likely to take the opportunity to retaliate against the other party."
"Second, she is the first discoverer of this case, and her fingerprints are left on the murder weapon."
"According to reliable clues, the victim Song Jun was stabbed four times in total. The first two were caused by Guo Bao or Xu Kun."
"But! The fatal knife that really caused the death of the victim Song Jun was the third and fourth knife!"
"I suspect that she used her identity as the first discoverer to add the third and fourth knives to the victim!"
"I object."
Chen Feng raised his hand.
"Does the plaintiff have any evidence for this statement?"
Wang Dachui laughed and said, "Isn't the evidence on the murder weapon? Why are there her fingerprints on the murder weapon? When a normal person sees a murder scene, shouldn't the first reaction be to call the police? But not only did she not call the police immediately, but she also touched the key murder weapon!"
"..."
The presiding judge frowned and asked immediately, "Defendant's lawyer, can you explain why your client touched the murder weapon at the scene?"
Chen Feng glanced at Ye Qi, and then said, "Logically, a normal person should indeed call the police immediately when encountering a murder scene, but the premise is that you have to know the death Is the victim really dead?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, the environment where my client was at the time was relatively dim, or perhaps the murderer had planned it in advance. Because of the blurred vision, my client accidentally touched the murder weapon in order to confirm whether the victim was dead. Isn't this unreasonable?"
"I think it is very unreasonable!"
Wang Dachui directly refuted: "Even if the vision is dim, it is still daytime, plus there are so many bloodstains on the ground, it is impossible for her to be blind, right?"
Chen Feng said lightly: "Maybe she is lucky and thinks that the victim still has a chance of survival?"
"..."
As soon as these words came out.
The scene was silent instantly.
[I think what Brother Feng said is right.]
[After all, this is not a movie. Normal people may never encounter a murder case in their lifetime. When they really encounter it, who knows if it is fake.]
[Well, plus the light at the scene is relatively dim, it is okay to confirm whether the victim is really dead first, otherwise it will be embarrassing to call the wrong police. 】
【Besides, if the victim has not completely died, maybe an ambulance can be called for rescue. 】
Everyone in the live broadcast room discussed.
Although Chen Feng's remarks were not completely reasonable, they could not be denied to be unreasonable.
"Well, even if what you said is true, Ms. Ye Qi accidentally touched the murder weapon, but how do you explain that the surveillance camera shows that only she has entered the victim's house?"
Wang Dachui continued: "People may lie, but surveillance machines can never lie, right?"
"As far as I know, after the incident, the police checked all the surrounding surveillance. In addition to Guo Bao and Xu Kun, only Ms. Ye Qi had been in and out during the period when the victim was killed!"
"How do you explain this?"
According to the police's hard work in the past few days, the third and fourth knives were indeed not caused by Guo Bao and Xu Kun.
This means that there is a third murderer at the scene!
But because no suspicious objects can be found, Ye Qi naturally becomes the possibility of this third person.
At this moment, everyone at the scene was extremely nervous.
This movie-like plot happened in reality.
It was so shocking!
On the stage.
The presiding judge listened to the debate between the two without saying anything.
As a senior suspense reasoning enthusiast, he is also looking forward to who the third murderer is!
"You are right." Chen Feng breathed out lightly: "There is indeed a third murderer at the scene."
"And this murderer's methods are very clever. He witnessed the actions of Guo Bao and Xu Kun with his own eyes, and then used them to cover up the traces of his crimes."
"Then tell me, who is this person?"
"Xiao Yang."
"Xiao Yang? Although he is a suspect, the police have found no trace of him committing the crime."
"Just because there are no traces, doesn't mean he's not the murderer."
"Your evidence?"
"No."
"..."
Wang Dachui was made to laugh: "If there is no evidence, what are you talking about? You have to know that this is a court, and if there is no evidence, then you are talking nonsense!"
"Although it's not available now, it will be available soon."
Chen Feng finished speaking slowly, then turned to look at the presiding judge, jurors, and everyone present.
"Everyone, with this evidence, I hope you can listen to what I have to say before making a conclusion."
"I have objections!"
Wang Dachui immediately faced the presiding judge and retorted: "Presiding judge, the defendant does not have any evidence. I think he is just delaying time on purpose!"
"Lawyer Wang, please don't be impatient."
Chen Feng pursed his lips: "When I finish speaking, the truth will naturally come out."
