In the court, Judge Feng Xuefan and the jury listened to the arguments of the prosecution and defense.
Sansukehan’s motion to directly acquit Kato Shoichi was rejected.
Now, Shan Jingfan and Cheng Lingyu are having a heated debate over whether the servant named Uncle Wang's confession is hearsay evidence.
Cheng Lingyu used the strategy that Lu Ming said in public yesterday. He used the old woman who blamed her son for pushing her down as an example to argue that when he took the confession, Uncle Wang did not know that he would die soon, and he His character has always seemed cowardly and fearful, and it is precisely because of this and his psychological distortion that he molests boys to show his strength.
But he wanted more public attention, which is why he took all these high-profile cases on himself. He just wanted to enjoy the feeling of being in the spotlight that he had never enjoyed before, and in the end, he would inevitably change his confession.
Cheng Lingyu even found a psychological expert to analyze the psychological state of people like Uncle Wang.
But Shanjingfan seemed to be well prepared, and directly criticized the old woman's example, saying that the old woman was probably the son who pushed her down, because his son had long been unable to stand the old woman. Complaints, so anger arises from the heart.
The premise is that there is such a case.
Cheng Lingyu naturally could not find this case.
The psychiatrist was also directly put off the stage by Shan Jing Fan’s strategy.
The first sentence is, "Excuse me, how much time have you and Uncle Wang spent together?"
When the psychiatrist said that he had never met Uncle Wang, Shan Jingfan even shook his head and laughed contemptuously. After a long time, he said, "It turns out that Dr. Li diagnoses and treats psychological problems in this way, so you should be hired." The palace serves as His Majesty’s Imperial Physician, making diagnoses from a distance, an anecdote through the ages!”
After Cheng Lingyu stood up to object to his ridicule, he bowed directly to the judge's bench and said, "I have no problem!" He didn't even bother to look at the psychiatrist again.
Originally, at the preparation meeting attended by all the prosecutors, the psychiatrist was fully prepared, but how to answer the fact that he had never met Uncle Wang.
Any prosecutor will understand that this is a weak point, and the psychiatrist is actually very powerful, and he can explain very professionally why he has never met Uncle Wang, but he can analyze him based on his life trajectory and past behaviors.
As a result, I was prepared to be lonely.
Originally, at the preparation meeting, Cheng Lingyu’s strategy was to attack this point and then explain it to the psychiatrist, which would be more convincing to the jurors.
Who knew, Shan Jingfan would end immediately.
And he thought about it for a long time and did not ask the psychiatrist to explain this point. Otherwise, it would be like forcing an explanation.
No one questioned him again, and the psychiatrist left.
Shan Jingfan glanced coldly at the prosecutor's seat and stood up: "Your Honor, I request to summon our key witness, the one we spent a long time persuading! For this witness, your Excellency, It gives us ten days to prepare!”
"Objection!" Cheng Lingyu stood up, "We have not seen any updates to the defense witness list!"
"She only agreed before going to court today, but she has a distinguished status and I was worried that she would not come to court. Therefore, I only had a brief communication with Feng Guan in private, but unexpectedly, she came bravely!"
Shan Jingfan pointed at a figure who had just walked in from the gate and sat in the auditorium.
Lu Ming looked over and saw a beautiful young woman wearing a light blue patterned kimono. She had a beautiful bun and a beautiful face. However, compared to the melon-shaped face that is common among beautiful women in Central China, her face was slightly rounder and plump. At first glance, Just a typical Japanese woman.
Feng Xuefan waved, and Shan Jingfan and Cheng Lingyu walked up to the judge's bench. The three of them communicated a few words in a low voice, and Cheng Lingyu nodded reluctantly.
Cheng Lingyu came back to the prosecutor's seat and whispered to Lu Ming: "Kato Shoichi's cousin-in-law and widower's name is Gui Linghua."
"Witness, please come to the witness stand." Feng Xuefan made a gesture.
The young Japanese woman stood up timidly, wearing white socks and clogs, and took a small step onto the witness stand.
Shan Jingfan took two steps forward and said, "The prosecution has always had doubts about my client being unmarried. Mrs. Katsura Ayaka, do you know the reason?"
Gui Linghua lowered her head, not daring to look around, and whispered something in a low voice that could not be heard clearly.
"Mrs. Katsura Ayaka, please speak louder."
"Because..., because we were childhood sweethearts since childhood, he, he likes me..." Gui Linghua said, her pretty face turned red, and she didn't dare to raise her head.
"How did you know?"
"I, I just know..." Gui Ling's head was almost buried in the witness box, her voice was like a mosquito buzzing.
Although she didn't say the reason, it just made people feel that her words were very credible.
The conversation between Shan Jingfan and Katsura Ayaka is in the Japanese language, and has been translated into Western and Central Asian languages.
"After your husband passed away, have you and Mr. Kato Shoichi ever been together?"
Gui Linghua was stunned, her head lowered, and she was speechless.
"Mrs. Katsura Ayaka, please answer my question!"
Finally, Gui Linghua nodded slightly.
"Mrs. Katsura Ayaka, please answer me, yes or no?"
"Yes, yes..." Gui Linghua agreed in a panic, with tears in her eyes.
There were noises in the jury box and auditorium, and some people started talking.
"Ms. Katsura Ayaka, what you said meant that you were with Mr. Kato Shoichi. Did you have **** with Mr. Kato Shoichi?"
There was an uproar in the courtroom.
Gui Linghua lowered her head, tears slowly falling.
"Mrs. Katsura Ayaka, please answer me, yes or no?" Shan Jingfan asked loudly.
"Yes, yes,...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." Gui Linghua said helplessly, then she fell on the witness stand and sobbed softly.
Immediately, there was a "coax", and the court started to boil.
"Silence! Silence!" Feng Xuefan picked up the gavel and banged the table hard. The commotion in the courtroom gradually subsided.
Shan Jingfan sighed softly and looked at the jury box, "Mrs. Gui Linghua has a distinguished status and inherited nearly one million in assets from her late husband. Moreover, her late husband has a will. If Mrs. Gui Linghua remarries, If you have an affair with someone, you will automatically lose your inheritance rights."
"However, when she heard that the prosecution was slandering Mr. Kato Shoichi because he was still unmarried and had mental problems, Mrs. Katsura Ayaka bravely stood up. She would rather lose the astronomical inheritance rights than The person she truly loved was slandered. I admire her courage very much. She is a great woman who is willing to lose everything for true love. In order to show the truth and refute the ridiculous accusations of the prosecution, she bravely sits here. I I don’t think any of us have any reason to despise her!”
Some jurors showed guilt on their faces, and some female jurors showed sympathy in their eyes. Especially the few Western female jurors looked at the prosecution seat with disdain.
From what Shan Jingfan said, it seemed that what pushed this weak but great woman to this point was not Shan Jingfan, but the prosecutor's absurd accusation.
The prosecutors sitting in the gallery clearly saw the jurors' reactions.
However, both Japanese and Western jurors should try to select women. This is what I have always insisted on. For this reason, I had a stalemate with Shan Jingfan for almost half a month before the jury was successfully formed.
Now, it seems like I shot myself in the foot.
Female jurors are too emotional.
Furthermore, another clever thing about Shan Jingfan is that through this questioning, it seems that whether Kato Shoichi does not like women has become the key to the problem and the main reason why the prosecution doubts him.
Subtlely, it makes people feel that as long as Kato Shoichi has normal peace with women, he will not be a psychopath who tortures those boys.
All of these prosecutors were a little frustrated, and Wang Xiaohu gritted his teeth tightly.
At the prosecutor's seat, Lu Ming whispered: "I'll **** her!" and wanted to get up.
To make this "great" woman dirty and stink in court, this kind of dirty work must be done by himself, the second-in-command. The prosecutor must win the goodwill of the jury and must make a closing statement without causing the jury to resent it.
A flash of deep thought flashed in Cheng Lingyu's eyes, and he suddenly took Lu Ming's arm and said, "I'll do it!"
As soon as Lu Ming was stunned, Cheng Lingyu had already stood up and walked to the witness stand.
"Miss Gui Linghua, please calm down. When you can answer my question, please nod." Cheng Lingyu's voice was soft.
Gui Linghua wiped away her tears and nodded gently, "I, I can do it...I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
The weakness is very distressing.
"Okay, Miss Gui Linghua, may I ask, what is your education level?" Cheng Lingyu asked lightly.
Gui Linghua gently pointed at the microphone, "I, I graduated from the fourth grade..."
"Oh, that means you have not received higher education or gone to university. So have you studied human sociology by yourself? Have you ever taken a course like psychology?"
"No, no..." Gui Linghua timidly.
"So, Ms. Katsura Ayaka has a lot of experience in dating men, and even a lot of experience in having **** with different men?"
"Objection!" Shan Jingfan stood up suddenly, and the court was in an uproar.
"Your Honor, this question of mine is very important!" Cheng Lingyu looked at Feng Xuefan.
Feng Xuefan waved his hand and motioned Shan Jingfan to sit down.
Gui Linghua lowered her head and said nothing.
"Well, you don't want to answer and think this question insults you, but what I want to ask is, if you don't have experience with many men and take a large number of samples, how would you know that you have had **** with me? Wouldn’t a man who is a **** kill boys? ”
"Your Honor! I'm done asking!" Cheng Lingyu turned and walked towards the prosecutor's seat.
"Others, I don't know about others, but Ichiro, I know him. I have known him since I was very young. He is not a pervert, absolutely not!" Katsura Ayaka suddenly looked up with tears in her eyes and said to Cheng Lingyu said from behind, his voice was small, but his tone was very firm.
Cheng Lingyu was stunned for a moment.
In the auditorium, the prosecutors were stunned. They didn't expect that Gui Linghua behaved like this in the end. I wonder if it was because of her true feelings, or because she was taught by Shan Jingfan, or because she was adapting to circumstances?
If it's the last one, then this woman is terrible.
Cheng Lingyu then turned around, "Well, you and Ichiro are in love and have a deep relationship with each other since they were childhood sweethearts. So, you married his cousin and started having an affair with him for some time. But, you You don't want to divorce his cousin, and you don't want to be together with him. Even if his cousin passes away, you are not willing to give up a huge inheritance, so you still keep secretly with him. Your relationship is very pure and deep. , very touching! ”
Shan Jingfan stood up and kept objecting. After Cheng Lingyu finished speaking, he returned to the prosecutor's seat without looking back.
The jurors looked at Gui Linghua, a delicate and delicate woman, with different eyes.
The prosecutors in the gallery all breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was Cheng Inspector who responded so quickly.
Sansukehan looked at the prosecution table, thought for a while, stood up, walked to Katsura Ayaka, and asked: "Mrs. Katsura Ayaka, why did you marry Mr. Kato Shoichi's cousin?"
"Because, because, he, he forced me. At that time, Ichiro had no status at home. He threatened me that if I didn't marry him, he would drive Ichiro out..."
Gui Linghua lowered her head and wiped away tears.
"So, when your late husband was alive, did you and Mr. Ichiro have any affairs?"
"No, absolutely not, I, I don't dare..." Gui Linghua raised her head with a firm look in her eyes. After speaking, she lowered her head timidly.
"After your husband passed away, why didn't you marry Mr. Kato Shoichi openly? Is it because of the huge inheritance?"
"No, I, we are a big family..." Gui Linghua shook her head gently, with too much helplessness and grievance in her eyes, and tears started flowing down again.
Shan Jingfan looked at the jury box, "After today, Mrs. Katsura Ayaka should be kicked out of her house and lose everything. But because of the ridiculous accusation made by the prosecution, she...sigh... ”
Shan Jingfan sighed, shook his head, and returned to his seat.
Looking at the prosecutor's seat from the corner of his eye, he saw a slump on Cheng Lingyu's face.
Yes, they lost.
In fact, according to the current situation, it doesn't matter whether Gui Linghua's testimony is there or not. Adding this, it makes them even more powerless to fight back.
It doesn’t matter if they get rid of this witness, let alone, what if they don’t get rid of it?
If this case must be expressed in terms of winning rate, our current winning rate is 99.99%, which is infinitely close to 100%.
Looking at Kato Shoichi next to him, he whispered: "Mr. Kato, as I said before, don't cause trouble during this period."
This ruthless guy, I was sometimes afraid of him. He originally wanted to kill the young lawyer, but it was because of his persuasion and even informed the headquarters that the headquarters called and strictly suppressed the reckless action he was about to carry out.
"Hmph, I'll let him live a few more days..." Kato Shoichi said grimly.
Shan Jingfan sighed softly in his heart. He originally had an illegitimate child here. He was very young, just five years old. He loved it very much. When he took this case, he originally wanted to get together as a family. But during this time, But he didn't dare to come to him for fear of being seen by Mr. Ichiro.
"Your Honor, we request to question Uncle Wang's evidence again." Over there, the young lawyer stood up.
The Shanjing Fan was startled for a moment, then shook his head, it was boring. I didn’t expect Prosecutor Cheng to give up like this. Winning was boring.
Questioning Uncle Wang’s testimony? It was really a desperate struggle.
