The next morning, after sending Jingjing to school, Tengjie went to the court and waited for the hearing in a coffee shop near the court.
After learning that the trial was open to the public, Teng Jie suspected that Liu Xin's family might be using tricks. After all, they were authentic second-generation dissidents and would definitely pay a barrister to commute Liu Xin's sentence.
At the beginning of the trial, Liu Xin's defense lawyer was a young and handsome man who, like Teng Jie, wore gold-rimmed glasses.
Teng Jie knew several well-known lawyers in Meihai City, and he knew that this person was not from Meihai City.
"I am Liu Xin's defense lawyer Xu Ge..."
In his defense, Xu Ge put forward many points. What surprised Teng Jie the most was that some people's confessions actually changed.
First of all, the friend who drank with Liu Xin that night changed the time Liu Xin disappeared from two hours to one and a half hours, so that Liu Xin only stayed at the crime scene for about 20 minutes at most.
Coupled with the fact that the deceased was beaten, Liu Xin had no time to plan the killing.
Teng Jie was sure that there must be something wrong with this change of time. Those people were Liu Xin's friends. If Liu Xin's family spent a little money, they would naturally change their tune.
Maybe Liu Xin's friends don't understand the importance of this half hour, and their concept of time is very vague, but for the lawyer, this half hour is enough to be a powerful argument.
Then, Xu Ge proposed another entry point.
Liu Xin drank a lot that night. From the memories of her friends, it was determined that Liu Xin had drank eight bottles of 330 ml beer before going to the bar. According to her usual amount of alcohol, she was completely drunk at the time.
The subsequent defense was even more eye-opening for Teng Jie.
Xu Ge said: "While Liu Xin was in a drunken state, the deceased Duan Xuanxuan was stabbed. She only subjectively believed that Duan Xuanxuan was dead. The forensic autopsy report can confirm that the stabbing was not fatal and the cause of death was excessive blood loss.
So can we make the following inferences: When Duan Xuanxuan was stabbed, she still had vital signs. At that time, Liu Xin lost her ability to judge due to drunkenness, and under the influence of Wang Donghua, she mistakenly believed that Duan Xuanxuan was dead.
Afterwards, Wang Donghua asked Liu Xin to leave quickly. In addition, Wang Donghua pushed Duan Xuanxuan, causing her to be stabbed to death. We have reason to suspect that this was carefully planned by Wang Donghua.
Wang Donghua's income is very low and he has been relying on Liu Xin's funds for a long time. After being caught having an affair with Duan Xuanxuan, he was worried that Liu Xin would abandon him, so he wanted to use this method to make Liu Xin mistakenly think that she was involved in Duan Xuanxuan's death, so as to bind the relationship between the two. "
Xu Ge completely blackened Wang Donghua and put all the blame on Wang Donghua. He repeatedly emphasized that Liu Xin, who was in a drunken state, had no ability to judge at all, so he mistakenly thought that Duan Xuanxuan was dead, and only obeyed Wang Donghua in panic. .
Xu Ge said: "To sum up, my client was completely passive after the incident, and her drunkenness made her lose her ability to judge. But she chose to call the police the next day, and then my client took the initiative to confess the crime, so I hope the judge will use his discretion when sentencing him.”
Over the years, Teng Jie often visited the court to look for material for writing. He had to admit that Xu Ge was the best criminal defense lawyer he had ever seen.
Whether it is Xu Ge's neither humble nor overbearing performance in court or his clear logical thinking, they are unmatched by ordinary lawyers.
There is no conflict between Xu Ge's story and the evidence currently investigated by the police. Being able to organize these trivial clues into a story that is beneficial to Liu Xin is also a manifestation of Xu Ge's ability.
Ultimately, the first-instance verdict was three years in prison.
Xu Ge?
Teng Jie silently wrote down the name and planned to learn about the lawyer online after he went out.
After the trial ended, Teng Jie left the court and was about to tell Lu Wan about the trial, but the call was immediately hung up. It seemed that Lu Wan had made a new discovery.
Teng Jie used his mobile phone to check Xu Ge. He was a lawyer from a law firm in Mengshan City, Sanjiang Province. He was famous in Sanjiang Province and had few failures.
"Ha!" Teng Jie sneered and said to himself, "The Liu family has really put in a lot of effort to hire a lawyer all the way from Sanjiang Province!"
······
On the other side, Lu Wan took Bai Mo and Zeng Hao to Anxin Children's Hospital.
In the morning, she first went to the police station, where she got an important clue. According to Sun Xiaokai's investigation, he found that Qu Hailong had been to Anxin Children's Hospital.
After arriving at the hospital, Lu Wan checked all the hospital's medical records, but could not find Jamie's medical records, nor could he find them using the names of Qu Hailong or Wang Qian.
Later, it was confirmed through surveillance that Qu Hailong had indeed been here. He had a temporary number, no registered name, and the department where he registered was child psychology.
Anxin Children's Hospital is a newly built private hospital. The child psychology department specializes in children's mental health.
After confirmation by the nurse at the consultation desk, the doctor on duty in the child psychology department on the day Qu Hailong came was Liang Nan, and Liang Nan was also on duty today.
The three of them came to the door of the child psychology department.
Bai Mo suddenly stopped and his mouth gradually opened wide.
"What's wrong?" Lu Wan noticed something strange about Bai Mo.
Bai Mo pointed to the photo of the attending physician named Liang Nan at the door of the department and said in a deep voice: "It's him!"
It's him?
Lu Wan's heartbeat accelerated instantly. She and Zeng Hao looked at Bai Mo in disbelief, and then looked at Liang Nan's photo.
"Are you sure?" Lu Wan asked in a low voice.
Lu Wan thought about Bai Mo's ability to spot Lu Yajun's record at a glance. Could it be that this time Bai Mo could tell who the murderer was just from a photo?
"The nose, interpupillary distance, and lower eye sockets match perfectly." Bai Mo's voice was a little stiff, "Do you think this is a coincidence?"
boom! boom! boom!
Feeling the violent beating of her heart, Lu Wan took a deep breath. This time Bai Mo did not identify the murderer based on intuition, but based on his portraits these days.
In contrast, the basis of portraiture is certainly more reliable than intuition.
But if Liang Nan was the murderer, Lu Wan couldn't accept it for a while. A doctor and a murderer would still come to work as usual after killing someone?
At this time, the door opened, and a woman walked out with a child in her arms. When she came to the door, she said thank you to Dr. Liang.
Lu Wan had already adjusted her mood and walked directly in regardless of the calls inside.
Liang Nan was the only one in the room. He looked up at Lu Wan, then at Bai Mo and Zeng Hao who were following him, and smiled, "Didn't you bring your children?"
Liang Nan's smile was very kind, and Lu Wan could not feel any murderer's breath from his body.
Lu Wan took out his ID and said, "Lu Wan, Criminal Investigation Detachment of Meihai City Public Security Bureau, we need to find out something from you."
