After Mueller's lawyer spoke, he lowered his head and whispered a few words to Mueller. Mueller closed his eyes and nodded twice, indicating that he had nothing to add.
"If the plaintiff doesn't need to add anything else, then the defendant will start making his statement." The female judge's inquiring gaze swept across the faces of the three of them, "Which one of you three will come first?"
"Dear Judge," Dong Qiangqiang stood up and said in a neither arrogant nor humble voice, "Since the three of us were together when the incident happened, can Ms. Tong Lele make a statement first, and then we can answer the questions?"
The female judge adjusted her glasses: "Can Tong Lele's words replace what you two want to say?"
"Yes, she can replace us." Dong Qiangqiang looked at Tong Lele beside him firmly.
The female judge and the male judge exchanged glances and agreed, "Okay, please, Tong Lele, please start the statement first."
Tong Lele stood up: "Dear Judge, first of all, please allow me to briefly introduce the backgrounds of the three of us. My name is Tong Lele, studying classical music at the Hanover Conservatory of Music. His name is Dong Qiangqiang, and he is preparing to take the preparatory examination at the University of Hannover. Sit down The one on the far side is Lei Lanting, who is currently studying computer science at the University of Hannover. Although we came to Germany early and late, we all know more or less German laws and have always abided by the laws. Next I will Tell you and your colleagues what happened that day.”
Tong Lele used a soft tone and described the ins and outs of what happened that day in German in detail. From the three people meeting at the station, to dodging wild boars in the wild boar forest, to hearing strange noises in the villa but no one answered, to the three people planning to capture Mueller, how they reached an agreement to form a treasure hunting alliance, and discovered the secret behind the big clock. road.
Her speech was moderate in speed and detailed, without any exaggeration or exaggeration. Dong Qiangqiang noticed that not only the two judges listened attentively, but also the people in the gallery, even Mueller, listened extremely attentively, and no one interrupted her speech.
When Tong Lele said that after the big bell was removed and the secret passage was exposed, she said apologetically: "Later, I didn't go in because I was afraid. It was Dong Qiangqiang and Lei Lanting who followed Mueller."
Dong Qiangqiang stood up immediately and continued Tong Lele's story, starting to talk about the secret passage and what happened in the secret room. When the three of them accidentally met Tong Lele in the secret room, Tong Lele was asked to continue the story.
When Tong Lele said that the three of them encountered someone setting fire to the hut, there was a cry of surprise in the auditorium. When they heard that the three people had escaped by hiding in the well, they collectively let out a tut-tsk sound.
"Quiet!" The female judge banged the gavel twice and signaled Tong Lele to continue.
When Tong Lele talked about how the three met the police, how they were taken to the police station, and how they were released, the female judge nodded: "Okay, there's no need to talk about it later."
"Dear Judge," Tong Lele insisted even though her mouth was dry, "Before that day, we had never met or known Mueller at all, nor did we beat him or force him to sign the agreement. He was completely voluntary. of."
"I have a few questions that I need to confirm with you." The female judge looked at the materials in front of her and asked, "Why did you go to the villa that day?"
"Because we want to help Lei Lanting..." Before Tong Lele could finish her words, she saw the female judge's gesture prohibiting her from speaking.
"Lei Lanting will answer this question." The female judge glanced at Lei Lanting in the dock. Lei Lanting hurriedly stood up with his hands raised: "Your Honor, I am Lei Lanting."
"Why did you go to the villa that day?"
"Because I signed a contract with a labor agency and I have to clean the villa."
"Is the agency you're talking about the company 'Fresh Force'?"
"Yes."
"Then Mr. Claus, the person in charge of this company, can you prove what you said?" The female judge flipped through the materials page by page, speaking slowly and appearing very patient.
"Definitely. This time we... have also applied to the court for him to appear in court to testify." Lei Lanting was very nervous and spoke a little incoherently.
The female judge winked at the court police officer. The court officer opened the small door of the witness room next to him. A figure flashed, and Klaus walked from the inside to the witness box in two steps.
"He's right." Lei Lanting nodded heavily.
"Klaus, do you know the three defendants?" the female judge asked.
Klaus carefully identified the three people sitting in the dock. After a few minutes, he pointed at Lei Lanting and said, "I know him."
Dong Qiangqiang and the other two people instantly became nervous.
Lei Lanting hurriedly said: "Your Honor, I can explain."
When Lu Wei raised his head again, there were only twenty minutes left before winding up.
Although she had already finished the paper, she did not dare to be careless and still checked it several times. Especially for the first part of reading comprehension, she was really not sure.
"The last fifteen minutes. Please check whether your name and exam number are written on the paper. Papers without these two items will have no grade." The invigilator said loudly.
Just as Lu Wei was about to confirm whether her names were written on the next few papers, the girl sitting in front of her right suddenly stood up and stood on the left side of the answering table. With her right hand, she grabbed her jacket that was placed on the back of the chair and slid it to her. Put it on your left arm. The long sleeves of the coat were immediately thrown off his arms, and the cuff straps hooked Lu Wei's passport on the upper right corner of the table. With a "pop", the passport fell to the ground.
Before Lu Wei could react, the girl squatted down and reached out to pick up her passport.
Lu Wei was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but the girl's hand was faster. Before Lu Wei's hand touched the passport, the girl had already opened the first page of the passport.
Lu Wei was stunned. She didn't know why the other party would do this.
The girl glanced at the information and photos in the passport intentionally or unintentionally. Without saying a word, she put the passport back in the upper right corner of Lu Wei's desk, and then slowly closed the first page of the passport.
Lu Wei looked at the girl in surprise. The girl picked up her test paper and strode towards the invigilator on the podium.
Lu Wei watched the girl hand the paper into the hands of the invigilator, and then she leaned into the invigilator's ear and whispered for a while, looking at Lu Wei while talking.
Seeing the girl looking at her, Lu Wei lowered her head in panic and pretended to make a mistake in the exam, but her heart started pounding. She didn't know what the girl was talking to the invigilator.
Is she talking about herself to the teacher?
Lu Wei pretended to raise his head casually, taking advantage of the time he was flipping the paper to quickly glance ahead. I saw that the girl had walked out of the classroom, and the invigilator was staring at her intently.
Various thoughts flashed through Lu Wei's mind. No matter how much she recited "Mulan Poem", she could not calm herself down, and her heart beat faster.
Just when she was at a loss as to what to do, the invigilator slowly walked off the podium and walked towards her step by step.
