Lu Ming did not expect that Cheng Lingyu would arrange the most critical second half of the journey for him.

He must have been thinking about it for a long time. When it comes to interrogating Katsura Linghua, he must have made up his mind to make the other party look bad instead of himself.

Maybe I feel that I came up with most of the strategies myself, and I should have more experience in the second half of the journey.

Looking at his encouraging eyes that only he could see, Lu Ming could only nod lightly, stand up, and ask to question Uncle Wang's testimony.

There is no one on the witness stand.

Lu Ming walked up to face the jurors, "Although Uncle Wang's testimony was not classified as hearsay evidence, it does not mean that his testimony is true or credible. On this point, jurors, please Attention."

"Objection!" Shan Jingfan stood up, "Objection to the defense's groundless questioning of the confession taken by the police."

Lu Ming nodded: "What I said is well-founded. Uncle Wang, in his confession, he described the killing of the children in too much detail. This is simply impossible!"

Shan Jingfan stood up again and said, "I object. I have studied relevant cases. Many perverted murderers have very clear memories of their own murders."

Lu Ming looked at him: "However, in Uncle Wang's confession, almost every child was killed in the same way. They were all pushed to the ground and stabbed to death. I think they would think that a serial murderer would , Killing is an art..."

"Objection, object to the prosecution's speculative definition!"

Lu Ming frowned and looked at him: "Barrister Shan Jingfan, do you think Uncle Wang's confession is credible?"

"Based on the current evidence, there is no doubt about it!" Shan Jingfan nodded.

Lu Ming looked at Feng Xuefan, "In court, the prosecution requests to summon witness No. 21!"

Witness No. 21 is Professor Wen Zaixuwen, Royal Academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences.

Shan Jingfan smiled in his heart, this must be the trapped beast still fighting, this Professor Wen came up with a way to detect the blood stains in the basement.

But the problem is, I still don’t deny that those stains in the basement are human blood.

Furthermore, what I admit is that Uncle Wang killed someone and left blood stains.

Professor Wen is a powerful figure in the scientific community, but what can change if he goes to court and talks nonsense?

Probably not many of the jurors know who he is and what his status is in the scientific community. Who are he trying to scare?

On the witness stand, Professor Wen was still wearing a white coat, with long gray hair disheveled, in the style of a terrifying doctor.

"Professor Wen, I heard that you brought us a set of experiments today, right?" Lu Ming stepped forward and asked.

"Yes!" Wen Zaixu looked at Lu Ming impatiently, with a don't talk nonsense expression on his face. However, he still knew that the matter was important and the court was a solemn place, so he was not too willful.

Lu Ming looked at Feng Xuefan, "Your Honor, I request that the lights be turned off and a short video of a scientific experiment be played!"

Shan Jingfan stood up immediately: "Objection! I don't know the prosecution's intention!"

Feng Xuefan waved to the two of them, and when they walked over, Feng Xuefan looked at Lu Ming with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Your Honor, this experiment of mine is of extremely important significance to this case. If after watching the video, you feel that it is a waste of the court's time, I am willing to accept the punishment!"

Feng Xuefan nodded and said to Shan Jingfan: "Let's take a look."

Shan Jingfan was helpless, because Professor Wen Zaixu was on the prosecution witness list from the very beginning, so the other party did not conduct a surprise attack, but after asking around, it turned out that this article was used to detect blood stains in the basement. The professor tinkered with it.

Putting Professor Wen on the witness list should be a routine matter for the prosecution, and it may also be necessary to start applying for a search warrant.

But I didn’t expect that the other party had some experimental short film.

I don’t know what to do, so I can only take a look first before talking about it.

Soon, a large number of staff moved in a bulky projector, and even used a bracket to set up a small snow-white curtain.

In the courtroom, all the lights were quickly turned off and all the thick curtains were closed.

Including the jurors, although there were few who had never gone to the movies, many of them were curious to see how a movie was screened live for the first time.

Soon, images appeared on the screen without sound.

Nowadays, movies have passed the silent film era, but there are no cameras that can truly record sound at the same time. It is necessary to use tapes to record dubbing separately and play it simultaneously with the film.

This short film obviously does not require dubbing.

I saw a young man inside. Opposite me, there was something like a torture rack with a human-shaped mold tied to it.

Shan Jingfan’s eyes immediately froze, and he immediately realized the problem. This room was very similar to the basement where the crime occurred. The torture rack was exactly the same as the one in the photo, and the positions were exactly the same. The humanoid mold The posture of the man tied to the torture frame was exactly the same as that of the boy in the photo. The model was about the same size as the boy, and the young man holding the knife was about the same size as Masaichi Kato.

At this time, I saw the young man stabbing him with a knife. The order, posture, and the parts where he stabbed were exactly the same as in the photo.

The model quickly sprayed out red blood, some sprayed onto the wall, some spilled on the ground, and some dripped, forming a small pool of blood next to the execution rack.

The camera zooms in, showing the shapes of these blood stains bit by bit in slow motion.

Shan Jingfan frowned, feeling vaguely uneasy.

Then, the camera flashed, showing the same young man, torture rack and model again, but the scene was clean. Obviously, the experiment was restarted.

After repeating the young man’s behavior about a dozen times and showing the blood traces left by the surrounding scenes at close range, the short film ended abruptly.

Soon someone opened the curtains and turned on the lights. The lighting in this courtyard was not very good, so the lights needed to be turned on during the day.

But the tools and the like were not taken out, and they could obviously be useful.

"Professor Wen, how many times have you conducted this experiment?" Lu Ming asked.

"More than a hundred times!"

Lu Ming turned to Feng Xuefan, "In court, I request that the final photos of the results of more than a hundred experiments be presented to the court."

Shan Jingfan immediately stood up: "Objection, your honor, Professor Wen Zaixu is a witness. What we are hearing should be his testimony. What are the intentions of these experiments and experimental results? The prosecution has been concealing it. , I request a temporary adjournment, and let the prosecution explain to us what their experimental intentions are. Moreover, it is also doubtful whether this evidence can be presented to the court!"

Lu Ming looked serious, "Your Honor, Professor Wen, as our expert witness, has long been included in the witness list. The experiment he provided may be an important experiment that changes the history of criminal investigation in the empire. I hope that he can be heard in court. Give a complete presentation. As for whether the experimental results will be accepted in the end, the wise judge and wise jurors will naturally give wise answers! ”

Feng Xuefan pondered, looked at Professor Wen again, finally nodded, and looked at Lu Ming: "Okay, but if your experimental results are just to make things up, and you use Professor Wen's reputation to make trouble, I will sentence you to contempt of court! ”

"Thank you, your honor!" Lu Ming bowed slightly.

Shan Jingfan gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

Soon, a thick stack of photos was sent to the judge's bench and the jury's bench, and a copy was also sent to the defense bench.

Shan Jing Fan already knew roughly what it was, gritted his teeth, picked up the photo and opened it slowly.

Lu Ming waited quietly, seeing that everyone was confused. Some jurors were already impatient and didn't know what they were doing looking at these **** photos, and there were more than a hundred of them.

"Your Honor, fellow jurors, you can see that if I say that the traces of blood splatter in these photos are similar, everyone should agree, right?"

Since no one would answer him, Lu Ming made a gesture and a staff member came forward and began to hang a photo on the snow-white screen.

The first photo is a fluorescent mottled photo, and the rest are photos of experimental blood and water splashing.

"Look, do these brightest fluorescent traces look very similar to these simulated blood stains?"

Both the jurors and Feng Xuefan looked over and saw that indeed, the mottled fluorescent traces were very similar to the simulated blood splatter traces.

"Professor Wen, why is this? Can you explain it?" Lu Ming looked at Wen Zaixu.

Wen Zaixu looked drowsy after waiting, then he opened his eyes, "Why? The photo of the murderer is real. This experiment can prove that Kato kid killed someone! ”

Lu Ming was helpless. He originally wanted to prepare a testimony with him, but he said nothing was needed. He wanted to change the witness and use the senior doctor who worked with Professor Wen as the witness. The doctor should be well-groomed and virtuous. It goes without saying that you must be virtuous, professional, and adaptable.

As a result, Old Man Wen immediately turned his back and scolded him for not being a thing. He wanted to burn bridges across rivers. There was something fun to do. The old man tried his best to help you play. But at the end of the day, you don’t want me anymore. Are you a human being?

The doctor was also a little afraid of Professor Wen. In the end, he had to use Professor Wen. There was no need to update the witness list, which was a small advantage.

Over there, Shan Jingfan stood up immediately, "Objection! The witness slandered my client for no reason!"

"Boy, sit down first, sit down!" Professor Wen gestured, as if he was the conductor in this courtroom, and looked at the jury box, "You guys, some of you are smart, follow me. You say it’s really hard, but I have to say it’s boring to death!”

Lu Ming smiled bitterly, he could not oppose his own witness.

Shan Jing Fan originally wanted to object, but seeing the old man's arrogant look like everyone else was trash, he thought about it and sat down slowly.

Moreover, on the judge's bench, Feng Xuefan was drinking water with his head down, pretending not to see the old man's performance.

If you oppose it yourself, it will definitely be ineffective.

"The photo you see with the fluorescent reaction was taken in the basement of Kato's house. The brightest part of the fluorescence is the last blood stain. The poor child in the photo was killed by that guy. The last person killed..."

Shan Jingfan stood up immediately, and it was obvious that Feng Xuefan waved his hand to him, indicating that he should quickly let him finish speaking, and then use your strength when you cross-examine him.

Shan Jingfan gritted his teeth and sat down again.

But the old man suddenly stared at him, "It's okay. If you come, I will say that he is a murderer. If you object, I will explain it to you clearly!"

"But you kid, you have some brains. Just by looking at your eyes, I know you understand what I'm doing. Only these jurors, a bunch of fools, can you fool them. You kid, you're always joking in your heart. Are they fools?"

After listening to the previous story, Fan Zheng felt that this old man had offended the jury and was seeking his own death. So what about Beidou, the giant in the scientific world? You have offended everyone in the court who should not be offended the least.

At the end, Shan Jingfan's expression changed and he stood up immediately, "Objection! In court, I strongly object to the malicious speculation and insults made by witnesses against me!"

Feng Xuefan coughed, "Mr. Wen, you'd better get to the point..." He frowned and glanced at Lu Ming, saying that you should take care of your witness. I can't afford to offend him. I'll use it for contempt of court and lock you up. 24 hours.

Lu Ming looked at Professor Wen and sighed in his heart, for a person like Mr. Wen, do you think he is really focused on studying science and does not understand human nature?

That's really shallow.

Obviously, he is attacking Shanjing Fan. This old man is awesome and has the capital to be awesome. When the jurors went back to discuss and found out how awesome this old man was, then the old man accused them of being brainless. It's nothing at all. How many people in the entire empire can be considered wise by this old man?

Even if this old man can scold them a few times in court, it will be an honor worth bragging about for the rest of his life.

But he said that these jurors would be deceived by lawyers like Shan Jingfan. Shan Jingfan was laughing at them in his heart, so the jurors felt unhappy. Why?

In addition, the old man was arrogant and disdainful of telling lies at first glance, so he must really think so.

That bastard, Na Shan Jing Fan, maybe he really thinks we are fools.

The more he thought about it, the more helpless Lu Ming became. He was still young, and these old men were really incomparable.

Over there, Professor Wen looked at the jury box again, "Just think of it this way, the brightest part of the fluorescence is the trace of blood. Compare it with the more than a hundred photos, don't they all look similar in shape? I did an experiment, that is, I made a model. The blood vessels in the model are the same as the human body. Red medicine flows inside, but the pressure is similar to the human blood vessels, including the different pressures of arteries and veins, skin toughness, etc. etc., they are all similar to the human body, the size of the model is the same as the poor child in the photo of Kato killing people. The person doing the experiment is about the same size as Kato. The movements and parts of the knife every time are the same as in the photo, and then "Have you noticed that the traces of blood splatter are very similar to those in the basement of Kato's house?"

"The room where I experimented, no matter the size or the location of the torture instruments, is exactly as shown in the photos, which is exactly the same as the basement of Kato's house."

Lu Ming said aside: "There are no torture instruments in the basement now, only in the photos."

The jurors still have academic requirements, and some of them have gradually nodded, somewhat understanding what it means.

"And I have done more than a hundred experiments to prove that traces of human blood spatter are inevitable. Look, if you use the same knife to injure the same part from the same angle, even if the force is different, There are deviations, but the traces of blood splatter are basically the same."

"So, there is no doubt that the photos of Kato Shoichi killing people can be considered authentic!"

Lu Ming nodded and asked: "So, Professor Wen Zaixu, as a Royal Academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, what is your attitude towards experiments?"

Someone in the jury box has already exclaimed, "Royal Grand Academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences?"

This old man? No, this old gentleman?

Professor Wen looked at Lu Ming and frowned: "Nonsense!"

Lu Ming smiled and turned to look at the jury box, "Professor Wen will pay close attention to every detail in any experiment, so he can make those great discoveries. Before drawing any conclusions, if Professor Wen doesn't If there were no flaws in the verification, Professor Wen would not be where he is today."

"I have no problem!" He turned around and walked to the prosecutor's seat.

Professor Wen looked at the jury box, "Do you understand what I said?"

Some jurors actually nodded in flattery. Although they immediately knew something was wrong, they were not ashamed of it. After all, they had at least received secondary education and understood what being a Grand Academician of the Royal Academy of Sciences meant.

Feng Xuefan shook his head. The witness and the juror established a direct dialogue relationship, but he couldn't knock the gavel down.

Shan Jingfan stood up and came to the witness stand.

"Professor Wen Zaixu, who first thought of this experiment?" Shan Jingfan asked.

Professor Wen's face looked a little strange. After a while, he said angrily: "It was Mr. Lu..., no, it was that little **** Lu Qianxing who thought of it!"

Obviously, I am a little depressed that this new discovery that can change the history of criminal investigation is not my own original work.

Although compared to the achievements in the scientific world, these are just childish things.

Lu Ming was stunned. Unexpectedly, he subconsciously called himself "Little Friend Lu". This old man always relied on his old age to do nothing but bully him. It turned out that he had regarded him as his old friend.

Shan Jingfan was also startled. He glanced at Lu Ming and was greatly surprised. The answer was completely different from what he had thought.

After thinking for a while, I could only continue to ask: "Professor Wen Zaixu, although you are a respected professional in the scientific community, your research field is not in medicine, right?"

Professor Wen looked at him and grinned, "Boy, I know what you want to say, but this is not medical expertise at all. At most, it is a problem involving different pressures in arteries and veins. Moreover, when I did the experiment , the helper I’m looking for is Xiao Zhao from Jinghai Hospital, the vice president, an expert in blood. If necessary, I can call him over now!”

Shan Jingfan nodded: "Okay, Professor Wen, is it possible that if the person who forged the photo took the same posture and hurt the child in advance, such blood spatter marks would also be produced? ”

“Objection!” Lu Ming stood up immediately and pointed at his watch, “Just two hours ago, the defense lawyer swore that he believed Uncle Wang’s confession was true and that those children were Uncle Wang’s killers. Dead! ”

"As for me, I questioned that in the confession, Uncle Wang's killing methods were exactly the same. They were all about knocking down, stabbing and killing people. It was not very similar to the methods of serial killers. Lawyer Shan Jingfan said that I was talking nonsense!"

"Does Lawyer Shanjingfan now think that Uncle Wang's confession was fabricated? Is Uncle Wang's confession false? Lawyer Shanjingfan is beginning to agree with our point of view? Uncle Wang is not the murderer?!"

The jurors were also stunned. Thinking back to it, it was indeed what happened just now. Before doing this experiment, Lawyer Shan Jingfan firmly believed that those children were all named Uncle Wang. , pinned to the ground and stabbed to death.

The young Lawyer Lu questioned this method of killing and was scolded by him. The scolding was so miserable that Lawyer Lu had no room to reply.

Now, this guy starts to think that Lawyer Lu is right again? It’s not like Uncle Wang knocked down the children and killed them?

Just to defend your client? Are you still playing like this?

Do you really think we are fools? !

When looking at Shan Jingfan, some of the jurors were very angry, while others were very contemptuous.

You still think we are stupid, but who is stupid? !

Some people looked at Shan Jing Fan’s dumbfounded expression and even wanted to laugh, this stupid guy! You still look down on us!

Lu Ming said even more sonorously: "Moreover, this experiment was completed by Professor Wen Zaixu and Dean Zhao last night. This confirmed the blood splatter trace theory. I don't think the murderer can Someone who has the intelligence and professionalism to match Professor Wen Zaixu and Dean Zhao used this method to frame someone up without warning a few months ago!"

The jurors also nodded, feeling that this was true.

The last sentence is to take the opportunity to help Professor Wen answer the trap set by the other party. Professor Wen may not be able to handle this kind of cross-examination technique.

Shan Jing Fan was stunned at this moment, watching a movie or something else, and he didn’t take it seriously when he questioned Uncle Wang’s confession. It was a conditioned reflex response, and I even forgot what I said, let alone that such a thing happened.

Suddenly, Shan Jingfan’s expression changed drastically and he looked at Lu Ming suddenly.

Everything, everything was designed by this guy?

Is questioning Uncle Wang’s confession just to prepare for now?

Even including what seems to be a big disadvantage in the past, is it all to numb yourself?

He looked at Cheng Lingyu suddenly, only to see that Cheng Lingyu looked calm and looked at him quietly.

Shan Jingfan also noticed that the jurors looked at him as if they were looking at a clown.

If the lawyer becomes a laughing stock in the eyes of the jurors in court, then it will be almost impossible to win the lawsuit, because the lawyer's words will no longer have any credibility.

"Lawyer Shan Jingfan, do you still have any questions?" Feng Xuefan couldn't help but remind him when he saw Shan Jingfan standing blankly.

Shan Jingfan's mind was in confusion. He had never experienced such a reversal since entering the legal profession.

"The classic lawyer!" Feng Xuefan raised his voice.

Shan Jingfan suddenly came back to his senses, looked around, and said hurriedly: "Your Honor, because the experiments listed by the prosecution have never been mentioned to the defense, the defense needs time to prepare, and I request an adjournment! ”

Lu Ming stood up: "Your Honor, I still have questions to cross-examine witness No. 21!"

Feng Xuefan nodded. The witness was still in the witness box. No matter who wanted to cross-examine him, there was no reason to adjourn the trial now.

Lu Ming took two steps forward and said to Wen Zaixu: "Professor Wen, it can be said that this case has attracted a lot of attention. Have you seen relevant reports in the newspapers?"

Wen Zaixu nodded: "I've seen some!"

Lu Mingdao: "For example, reporter Kim Zhengyi, who was the first to break the news, disappeared... that is, more than a month after he hid in the courtyard, he was hit by a car. The driver was a terminal lung cancer patient, and his family members all immigrated. I went to Japan, have you seen this report?"

Shan Jingfan, who was in a daze, suddenly came back to his senses and stood up: "Objection!"

Lu Ming bowed slightly to the judge's bench, "Your Honor, I just want to prove why Professor Wen Zaixu did this experiment, and why this small experiment will make Professor Wen treat it as the most important scientific experiment! It proves how serious Professor Wen was in this experiment without making any mistakes, and the results can withstand any test!"

Feng Xuefan nodded and waved his hand to Shanjing Rice.

Shan Jingfan sat down helplessly.

"Yes, I have read reports on this!" Professor Wen nodded.

"So, after Mr. Kato Shoichi's servant Wang Bo was caught molesting a boy, he told the police that the blood stains in Mr. Kato's basement were all caused by his murder. Have you read this report?"

"See..."

"Uncle Wang died of a heart attack not long after giving his confession. Did you also know that?"

"I know!" Wen Zaixu's eyes were filled with impatience, and he was probably scolding, "You little bastard, are you using me as a tool?"

Lu Ming nodded: "Well, the reporter who broke the news was hit and killed by a car. The murderer was a terminally ill patient who would die soon. He was originally a poor family, but his family members immigrated to Japan and lived in a big house; in Shortly after the prosecutor's second search found a large number of washed blood stains in the basement of Kato Shoichi's villa, the servant Wang Bo surrendered to the police station. I can understand it as a surrender. After surrendering, he died inexplicably; Katsura Ayaka Miss, she had an affair with Mr. Kato and suddenly had the courage to admit it! Regardless of family rules or anything, can we trust the testimony of two close relatives?"

"The traces of blood spatter that should have been caused in the photos of Mr. Kato's murder are very similar to the traces of blood found by the prosecutor in the basement."

"Indeed, many things are accidental and there are various coincidences, but if many accidents point to the same possibility, then this possibility is the truth and inevitable!"

Lu Ming looked at the jury, "And the truth is that Kato Shoichi is the real murderer. Only in this way can everything be explained!" He pointed his hand at Kato Shoichi.

The jurors all looked over and looked at the young Japanese nobleman who looked pale and even had a look of fear in his eyes.

Lu Ming also looked at him. This young man who had always been gloomy seemed to finally have fear in his heart at this moment. It turned out that he was not really fearless, but the power behind him gave him courage. , In fact, at his core, he is just a weakling with a lusty appearance and a weak heart. He can only cover up his cowardice and incompetence by hurting weaker people and experience what it feels like to be a strong person.

"I will watch you go to the gallows with my own eyes, and then tell those little guys that their souls can forget all the horrors here and go to another world happily!" Lu Ming looked at Kato Shoichi quietly. The words were spoken to him, to himself, and perhaps to the few little souls in the void who might be watching all this with fear.

The jurors suddenly felt pity in their hearts.

Yes, this case, even during the trial, has forgotten its original intention, forgotten those poor children, and what kind of pain and fear they experienced. Before they died in pain, probably , just living in hell.

That **** created by the devil!

Feng Xuefan also sat quietly. Lu Ming's last words actually violated the rules, but he did not give a warning.

The strange thing is that Shan Jingfan didn't say anything. He didn't stand up to object. He just sat there blankly, as if everything here had nothing to do with him.

The entire court was very quiet, as if mourning those poor children.

After a long time, the judge gently knocked his gavel and announced the adjournment.

……

In the far corner of the auditorium, a man wearing a top hat sighed softly.

I came to every class just to see him. At first, I was a little disappointed, thinking that I had seen the wrong person.

But I don’t want to think that the wonderful thing will always be at the end.

The defense, from an almost 100% winning rate, suddenly died!

However, I don’t know why, after watching this session, people feel that it is an insult to him to only look at him in terms of winning percentage and court prosecution and defense skills.

In the end, my eyes were a little wet, weren't they?

Liu Hanhuan stood up slowly. At this moment, he just wanted to go home, have a good drink with his wife, and also offer a toast to those little souls, hoping that they can rest in peace, and that there will be no pain in their next life. It’s a happy life!

In another corner, a pair of green eyes stared at Lu Ming's slightly thin figure, with red eye circles, but his gaze was so fiery.

Although she was very low-key in a black trench coat and tried to sit in the corner, the people next to her automatically made a seat for her and did not dare to sit next to her. This blonde beauty with blue eyes was too beautiful, aristocratic black The flower-embellished hat also shows her unusual identity.

Pan Mila didn’t know what to think. When she heard that the case was going to trial, she couldn’t help but come and sit there for a while.

Now, I feel sour and want to cry. I want to hold Bisi and cry. I want to tell Bisi how much I love her and hope she will be happy forever.

But it was beating wildly, especially when the man glanced over at random, and his heart seemed to be beating out of his chest involuntarily.

Pan Mila left the court as if she was running away, only regretting why she came.
