Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer

Chapter 64 The Third Witness, Professor Tan, Luo Feixiang Appears in Court

It is obviously impossible for Yang Qingshan to read all the letters.

Even if Zhang Wei wanted to, Huang Fang would stop it.

"be opposed to!"

Sure enough, she stood up.

"Your Honor, the defense is stalling for time. We already know the contents of the letter clearly. If the defense's unreasonable request is agreed to in court, it will simply tarnish the ears of everyone in the jury and hearing!"

Huang Fang directly moved out of the jury and hearing audience, making Dan Ding in the trial frown slightly.

"Attorney for the defense, we have already understood the content of the letter. One letter is enough. If the other letters are full of swear words, don't let the witnesses read them in court. Pay attention to the impact!"

This is the judge's warning, and Zhang Wei naturally understands it.

"Mr. Yang, since the court has said so, you don't need to read the following letters."

Yang Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief.

As for Zhang Wei, he put the letter back on his seat and continued to question: "Mr. Yang, you also read an email just now. Do you think the person who wrote the letter has murderous intentions towards your brother?"

"Murder is mentioned in the letter, I think it is!"

Yang Qingshan didn't think much about it. Although he was hostile towards Zhang Wei, the content of the letter was too shocking, and he couldn't deny it.

"And let me tell you, there are more than 20 letters like this, so can I say that these 20 people may commit the act of murdering the congressman!"

"Objection!" Huang Fang stood up again, "This is to lead the witnesses to guess, please ask the defense lawyer to clarify the issue!"

Brother Dan Ding gave Zhang Wei a look or two.

"Then let me put it another way. Do these 20 people have a motive to murder your brother?"

"I don't deny this!"

"Then let me ask the last question. The Wushu Association classified these letters as evidence, so have they investigated the more than 20 people who sent death threats?"

"No, whether Wang Yuqing was convicted of poisoning and murder in this trial has nothing to do with the other senders!"

"Your Excellency, I think these letters have a lot to do with this case, because the previous witness Lin Ruonan, the deputy head of the team, has proved the possibility. Could the Wushu Association rule out more than 20 potential suspects? Is it? Maybe one of them sneaked into the laboratory of the Medical University, stole the fungus, and sent the mail with the fungus in the letter of the Medical University?"

Huang Fang objected again, but Zhang Wei was already prepared.

Brother Dan Ding is still calm, but he is considering what the two of them said.

What Huang Fang proposed was correct. This case is about Wang Yuqing.

But what Zhang Wei said is not unreasonable. Although the possibility he said is almost only a theoretical possibility, what if?

Just like the last case, the DNA evidence originally proved that the murderer was Tang Chunfeng, but he never expected that this guy had a twin brother.

Thinking of the Tang Chunfeng case, and bowing his head to the defendant to admit his mistake, Brother Dan Ding was full of worries.

After weighing the pros and cons, he chose to compromise: "The public prosecutor's statement is not problematic, but this case needs to consider various possibilities. Otherwise, if an invalid judgment occurs, the wasted public resources will be calculated in this way? So this court decided to dismiss the prosecution after careful consideration. objection!"

Brother Dan Ding looked at Yang Qingshan: "You need to answer the defense's questions!"

Seeing this scene, Huang Fang sat back in her seat angrily.

Zhang Wei smiled slightly. It seemed that the Tang Chunfeng case had a great impact on Brother Dan Ding.

Seeing that the judge said so, Yang Qingshan recalled the question just now, thought for a while and said: "I don't know, but I think it should not be. I haven't received any investigation feedback from the investigation department about the owners of these letters!"

"I understand, then I can only regret what happened to you, Mr. Yang, because in my opinion, both the prosecution and the investigation department only want to convict my client and make her a so-called scapegoat, while Let go of the possible 20 or so potential suspects, they don't seem to want to catch the murderer who actually killed your brother!"

"Your Honor, the defense is..."

"My questions are over!"

Just when Huang Fang heard Zhang Wei's last words and was about to explode, Zhang Wei was one step ahead of her and walked back to the defense bench.

Brother Tan Ding glanced at Zhang Wei, and said to the jury: "Please ignore the last sentence of the defense lawyer, it is just his groundless guess, and the court thinks it will not be accepted!"

But if the judge emphasizes it so much, will the jurors listen?

The answer is of course no.

"Lawyer Zhang, what's the situation now?" Wang Yuqing approached again.

Zhang Wei glanced at the jury box and analyzed: "I won two or three more votes, but the situation is still not very good!"

Although several members of the jury had doubts, there were still many witnesses for the prosecution, and there was still a key person who did not appear.

"Prosecution, are there any witnesses?"

"Of course, Your Honor!"

After discussing with Zhao Jing, Huang Fang stood up again: "The prosecution summoned the third witness, Tan Xiuwen, to testify in court!"

"Professor Tan?" Zhang Wei was slightly surprised. Originally, this witness was at the bottom of the list and was the last witness for the prosecution.

It seems that his court counterattack disrupted the rhythm of the prosecution, so that the other party had to call out this heavyweight witness in advance.

The court door opened, and a man with silver-gray hair walked in.

He looked less than 50 years old, but his body was extremely thin. When he walked, his left and right feet were slightly uneven, and he was actually a little lame.

This is Professor Tan, who is also the funder of the laboratory of the University of Medical Sciences and the person in charge of the fungal experiment project.

"Witness, please explain your identity to everyone."

"My name is Tan Xiuwen. I am the director and investor of the affiliated laboratory of the University of Medical Sciences. I am also an honorary alumnus of the University of Medical Sciences and a specially appointed research professor of biology."

"Thank you Professor Tan for appearing in court, who is sitting in the dock now, do you know who it is?"

"Of course, she is Xiao Wang, a member of our team. I am very optimistic about a child. Among the four team members, I think she is the most talented!"

Tan Xiuwen nodded appreciatively to Wang Yuqing, and actually gave a positive evaluation.

"But you know, is she a suspect now?"

"This... between this, there may be some misunderstanding, I don't know too well..." Professor Tan was slightly taken aback, a little awkward to answer.

But Huang Fang continued: "Professor Tan, have you been in the laboratory recently?"

"Yes, the project has entered a critical moment recently, so I also stay at the University of Medical Sciences, and I also visit the laboratory on weekdays, especially in the past month or so, I have been there every night."

"Well, I have a video here, please watch it for me!"

Zhao Jing on the prosecution seat began to operate, and the video began to play on the projection screen behind Professor Tan.

The picture appeared, it was the cultivation room of the laboratory, there were two people working in it, one of them was Professor Tan, and the time stamp displayed on the screen was 7:22 pm on the 13th.

"Professor Tan, do you still remember this day?"

"Of course, Xiao Wang and I were in the cultivation room that day. We were busy all day. I was in charge of extracting the bacteria, and she was in charge of observing and recording the data."

"Then I want to ask, if you want to take the fungus out of the laboratory, do you need to do this?"

"Fungi cannot be taken out of the laboratory. This is a rule issued by me and the leaders of the Medical University!"

"Then if someone insists on taking it away, what steps do they need to go through?"

Seeing Huang Fang's insistence on asking, Professor Tan thought for a while and replied: "First of all, you need to dry the fungus. The fungus in liquid state is extremely easy to volatilize at room temperature, and it is likely to cause air infection. You need to make the fungus dry. Dehydrated powder, which is easy to store. However, this process requires special processing equipment, and it takes about 1-2 hours to operate. After the fungi are dry, you also need to confirm that they have lost their activity before they can be packed into sealed containers container, and after these steps, they can be carried."

"Professor Tan, please continue watching the video."

Huang Fang pointed to the projection screen again, and saw that Professor Tan seemed to have answered a phone call, and then left the training room. After a few minutes, he returned to the training room, said something to Wang Yuqing through the intercom, and finally left directly.

The recording stops, and the time is displayed as 7:32.

"Professor Tan, why did you leave suddenly that day?"

"Because the school leader of the Medical University suddenly called me and asked me to attend an important dinner party, I told Xiao Wang to let her prepare and finish work early."

"Then you left the lab and never came back?"

"Yes, I drank a lot that day, and was finally sent back to the dormitory by my friends. When I woke up, it was already the next morning."

"Then do you think that the defendant Wang Yuqing should leave the laboratory immediately after your order?"

"Yes, this is a rule. There must be more than two people in the training room. This is also to prevent accidents. If there is only one person, it may be dangerous. If there is only one person at the same time, it may be..."

When Professor Tan said this, he hesitated to speak.

Huang Fang did not intend to give up, and continued to ask: "Professor Tan, what else might happen?"

"It's also possible that someone will secretly take the fungus, so if two people monitor each other, this situation can be avoided..."

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in a commotion.

At the hearing, Zhao Chunming and others smiled, and the witness's answer met their expectations.

Didn't you see that many people were already moved in the jury box?

Some jurors even started to look at each other in pairs, and the seeds of doubt had been planted.

At the defense table, this time it was Zhang Wei who came to Wang Yuqing's side: "Is there such a rule in the laboratory?"

"Yes, this is stipulated by Professor Tan and the school."

"How long were you in the lab that day?"

As soon as this question was asked, Wang Yuqing fell silent.

When Zhang Wei squinted his eyes, he knew something was wrong.

Why did the prosecution specifically pick out the surveillance video during this period? Obviously there is a problem here!

In court, Huang Fang saw that everyone was affected by the witness's testimony, and continued to ask: "Professor Tan, do you think the defendant Wang Yuqing will only be in the laboratory for a few minutes, right?"

"Yes!"

"It's a pity that she doesn't seem to listen to you, let's continue watching the video!"

This time, Zhao Jing directly clicked on fast forward, and the time stamp of the video began to speed up. It was not until around 9:15 in the evening that the door of the training room opened again, and Wang Yuqing walked out from it.

Finally, the picture freezes, and Wang Yuqing leaves the laboratory at 9:16.

"Professor Tan, you said that it takes about 1-2 hours for the fungus to be dried, right?"

"right!"

"Then is it enough time for the defendant to leave at this point?"

"Objection!" Right after Huang Fang's question, Zhang Wei immediately stood up and interrupted: "Hearsay evidence, hearsay, leading witnesses to guess, Your Excellency, do I have to add anything else?"

"The objection is valid!" Brother Dan Ding glanced at Huang Fang, who immediately bowed his head in response.

After Zhang Wei objected, he immediately turned to ask Wang Yuqing, "What were you doing in the training room that night?"

"At that time, there was a deviation in some records of the fungal data, so I re-did the experiment and corrected the data, which was why it took so long."

Hearing Wang Yuqing's explanation, Zhang Wei was speechless for a while.

Because only Wang Yuqing knew about this matter, and the surveillance video submitted by the prosecution showed that Wang Yuqing stayed alone in the training room for almost 2 hours after the professor left. There is a lot of room for imagination here.

What will the jurors think?

Will they think that Wang Yuqing is working overtime in the laboratory to make up for the deviation in the data, or is he doing some ulterior secret in the laboratory, such as drying the fungus and taking it away?

Zhang Wei guessed that many jurors may have already begun to imagine the worst possibility.

"Your Honor, my questioning of witnesses is over!"

Huang Fang had achieved satisfactory results, and returned to the prosecutor's seat contentedly.

Zhang Wei came up, but when he thought of Wang Yuqing's powerless explanation, he felt a little helpless.

"Hello, Professor Tan, you just said that there must be more than two people in the training room. If there are special circumstances, is there a possibility that one person will stay in the training room?"

"This, it shouldn't be there. The laboratory has a check-in record every day, and there are records of entering and exiting the cultivation room. I have checked the log and there is no such thing as you said!"

"Have you checked the log?" Zhang Wei was slightly curious.

"Yes, I also submitted the log to the investigation department, and they have already analyzed it."

Zhang Wei thought for a while, and then asked: "If I want to ask, the reason why Wang Yuqing stayed in the training room on the 13th was because there was a deviation in the experimental records and she needed to do another observation experiment, so she stayed. Do you think that is a possibility?"

"Against, lead witnesses to guess!"

This time, it was Huang Fang's turn to fight back, pointing directly at Zhang Wei and shouting: "Your Honor, guide the witnesses to guess, hearsay evidence, there is no factual basis, do you need me to add more?"

"The objection is valid!" Brother Tan Ding pushed his glasses and looked at Zhang Wei: "Lawyer Zhang, please ask questions based on facts, and don't use hearsay evidence to ask questions!"

Huang Fang sneered at Zhang Wei, and sat down proudly.

She felt very at ease when her revenge was avenged.

"Well, it was my fault, I shouldn't have asked this question."

Zhang Wei quickly apologized, and was about to reorganize the language.

But at this moment, Professor Tan said: "The situation you mentioned is absolutely not allowed!"

"Because the laboratory's regulations are regulations, even if the experimental records are wrong, a single researcher cannot be allowed to stay in the cultivation room full of fungi. What an accident, it's too dangerous, I won't allow it!"

Professor Tan's words caught Zhang Wei by surprise, and he didn't even expect the other party to answer the question like this.

"Professor Tan, I haven't asked any questions yet!"

He quickly reminded Professor Tan that he stopped talking.

However, his words still had an impact on the jury.

The 12 jurors looked at Wang Yuqing with doubts and suspicions.

Although Zhang Wei was a little unwilling, but looking at Professor Tan on the witness stand, he was lost in thought.

After a while, he said: "Your Honor, my questioning is over!"

When he returned to the defense bench, he could feel that Wang Yuqing beside him was in a bad mood, obviously aware that the situation of the trial was not right.

"Prosecution, are there any witnesses?"

"Of course, Your Honor, the prosecution still has one last witness to call today!"

After Huang Fang got up, she looked at the hearing booth.

"We want to summon Luo Feixiang, a professor of Law School of Dongda University, to testify in court!"

Although this set of operations did not exceed Zhang Wei's expectations, he had to say that the local prosecutor's headquarters stole this move from him.

The person who summons the opponent catches the opponent by surprise.

The local prosecutor's headquarters learned the show operation from Zhang Wei.

Under the eyes of everyone, Luo Feixiang sat on the witness stand.

"Professor Luo, although your name has been searched several times in the past few days, and many people know about you and the defendant, I still want to ask you, what is your relationship with the defendant?"

"We are friends, friends who have known each other for more than ten years."

"What kind of friends are you, ordinary friends, or close friends who talk about everything?"

Facing Huang Fang's question, Luo Feixiang looked towards the dock. Zhang Wei's expression remained unchanged, but Wang Yuqing shook his head slightly.

The meaning of this is already obvious. It is to let Luo Feixiang say that the two are just ordinary friends. Anyway, this friendship cannot be proved.

But beyond Wang Yuqing's expectation, Luo Feixiang paused for a moment, and said, "We are good friends, we used to talk about everything!"

"It seems that your understanding of Wang Yuqing should surpass that of many people. Can you tell everyone what kind of person Wang Yuqing is?"

Facing the prosecution's question, Luo Feixiang was slightly taken aback.

Not only him, but even Zhang Wei in the defense seat was a little strange.

Doesn't this question make Luo Feixiang a character witness for Wang Yuqing?

"Hey, is this the prosecution giving us a chance? No, this Huang Fang looks a little level, it's impossible to give us such a chance, they must be hiding some killer move!"

Zhang Wei's face turned serious, but he still nodded to Luo Feixiang.

Seeing Zhang Wei's gesture, the latter was relieved, and told the court: "Wang Yuqing and I met at a university exchange meeting. At that time, she was a freshman in freshman year, and I was a senior in sophomore year..."

Luo Feixiang told everyone in the court everything he had known Wang Yuqing.

The relationship between the two can be said to be very pure, without any evil thoughts.

The two have known each other for more than ten years and have kept in touch with each other, but neither of them broke through that layer of paper, maintaining a relationship similar to "Plato".

"Thank you for the testimony of the witnesses. I think everyone on the jury has learned enough."

Seeing that Luo Feixiang was still talking, Huang Fang had to interrupt him: "But I want to ask, do you really know Wang Yuqing?"

This question made Zhang Wei finally realize something was wrong.

It seems that the prosecution really seems to be hiding a killer move.

The knife is about to come out!
