Husky Suite 302, Lu Ming had just returned from Wendebao Club when he heard shocking news.
Li Mingxuan and Xiaocui announced that when the case is over, whether he loses or wins the case, they will get married.
"Actually, if you lose, forget it!" Li Mingxuan sighed, holding Xiao Cui's hand.
Under the orange wall lamp, Xiao Cui's face turned even redder. She shook her head shyly, "No, I am willing..."
Lu Ming looked at Li Mingxuan quietly.
"Lawyer Lu, don't you wish us your blessing? I really want your blessing!" Li Mingxuan looked calm and looked at Lu Ming with a smile.
Lu Ming smiled: "Well, I also want to prepare a big gift for you."
Li Mingxuan hesitated, "Lawyer Lu, I think we should have a chat."
…
"Do you think Xiaocui and I are a good match?" Li Mingxuan closed the tea room door and turned to ask Lu Ming.
"This depends on yourselves. The judgment of outsiders never means anything." Lu Ming sat at the tea table, heating water to make tea.
"Don't be careless with me. What are you thinking? Give me hope before you kill me, right?" Li Mingxuan sneered, "I have always underestimated you, thinking you were a loser, but I didn't expect that you are
The most insidious and cunning one, if it weren't for the Wu'an lawsuit and you were forced to reveal your true colors, I'm afraid I wouldn't even know how I died in a few years, right?"
Lu Ming smiled and continued to make tea. From Li Mingxuan's point of view, it was not wrong to see himself this way. He was a prodigal who was ruining his family fortune, but he didn't want to know more about the law than this guy who claimed to be the most talented young man in Wu'an.
If it is even more profound, it will naturally make him feel that he has been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
"I don't want to continue fighting this lawsuit. Please give me a break. I don't want to have false hope and be buried by a sinister guy like you!" Li Mingxuan stared at Lu Ming, suddenly filled with hatred.
"There is no hope in the first place. Do you think you can pass Liu Hanhuan's test if you go to court tomorrow to be cross-examined?"
A thin thread of tea poured into the tea cup from the teapot that Lu Ming raised high, as if it was spiritual, gently swaying in the air.
"Here you go, let's think about how to deal with Liu Hanxuan tomorrow!" Lu Ming pushed a small teacup in front of Li Mingxuan.
"Perhaps, without me taking action, you will bury your own hope of survival tomorrow."
Lu Ming stood up and clicked on some pieces of paper on the coffee table, "This is the story of the victim I wrote. I hope you will read it carefully and understand it carefully! You have to treat her as a living person, not that person.
The shrew who wants to occupy you, understand? Slowly understand it, whether you live or die depends on yourself." He glanced at Li Mingxuan, turned around and walked out slowly.
Li Mingxuan sat still for a long time, then picked up the small tea cup and drank it in one gulp.
Then, he picked up the pieces of paper and read them.
…
Li Mingxuan, as a suspect in this case, is also the only person who has experienced the incident on the surface, so his cross-examination is naturally a highlight.
He was sitting on the witness stand, looking a little frightened and secretly looking at the jury from time to time.
Liu Hanhuan slowly walked to the witness stand and said, "Mr. Li Haoran, would you be more comfortable calling you Mr. Li Si?"
Li Mingxuan leaned forward slightly and put his mouth in front of the microphone, "Anything is fine..."
"Okay, Mr. Li Si, may I ask, what is your real name?"
"Objection." Lu Ming raised his hand, "Unfounded question."
"Okay, let me put it another way, Mr. Li Si, where is your hometown?"
"Objection, it involves the personal safety of my client!" Lu Ming raised his hand again.
Liu Hanhuan nodded, "So, Mr. Li Si, what do your relatives and friends in your hometown call you?"
"I object to the prosecution continuing to dwell on the same false issue." Lu Ming raised his hand again.
Liu Hanhuan shook his head helplessly, "I take back the question."
If you don't take it back, Cao Guan will rule that the objection is valid. Over and over again, it will make the jurors question the suspect's integrity. The purpose has been achieved.
"Mr. Li Si, you admitted at the police station that you murdered Li Xiaoyan, right?"
Lu Ming stood up suddenly, "Objection, the police have withdrawn the invalid evidence! The prosecution is misleading the jury!"
Cao Guan waved to the two of them, and Lu Ming and Liu Hanhuan both walked to the judge's bench.
Cao Guan gently covered the black microphone with his hand and looked at Liu Hanhuan with a frown, "Lawyer Liu Hanhuan, I have always respected you enough. I hope you can respect me too and don't use such tricks in my court!"
If the police did not revoke the evidence, Lu Ming would threaten him and have his injuries examined, etc. Therefore, the matter of extorting a confession through torture was reduced to a major matter and a trivial matter.
Liu Hanhuan's illegal mention of this matter will naturally affect the jury's judgment.
"Okay, Cao Guan, I understand!" Liu Hanhuan nodded to Cao Guan.
At the prosecution table, Zhang Jingjing watched all this with her mouth agape. She really didn't expect that her master would use such a little trick when interrogating a rookie lawyer.
A person like the master has always been good-looking, cherishes his feathers, and has a good reputation among the judges. Now that he is using tricks that only junior lawyers would use to seduce him, he is naturally forced to use his true seal.
Is this guy really that powerful?
He looks younger than himself.
Zhang Jingjing looked at Lu Ming's back and was speechless for a moment.
"Mr. Li Si, you are an employee of the victim, Ms. Li Xiaoyan, right?"
Everyone returned to their original positions, and Liu Hanhuan continued to question Li Mingxuan.
"Yes." Li Mingxuan said softly into the microphone.
"Before you were hired by Ms. Li Xiaoyan, you were a homeless person on the street, and because you had no legal status, no place to rent, and no job, you could be evicted at any time, right?"
"Yes."
"Ms. Li Xiaoyan can be said to be your benefactor, right?"
"Yes..." A trace of sigh flashed in Li Mingxuan's eyes.
"You said that the valuables found in your home were all given to you by Ms. Li Xiaoyan, right?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Mingxuan hesitated, "Yes, but..."
Liu Hanhuan had already turned around and said, "Please submit the photos of exhibit D, No. 3-7."
Soon, the court assistant handed the evidence photos to the court and the jury box.
Although it is a photo, you can still see the preciousness of these things inside, especially the jade pendant that is completely green, which is priceless at first glance.
Liu Hanhuan held a photo of the jade pendant and said, "Exhibit No. 3, let's just say it, is a love token given to Ms. Li Xiaoyan by Li Xiaoyan's husband. Ms. Li Xiaoyan has always regarded it as a treasure. Many people can prove that Ms. Li Xiaoyan is very fond of it."
He cherished it so much that he almost fell into the lake and drowned once because of it."
"As for Ms. Li Xiaoyan's cherishment of this jade pendant, I have five witnesses who can prove this. They are all on the witness list. If the defense objects, they can be summoned at any time."
He glanced at Lu Ming from afar, then turned to look at Li Mingxuan, "Ms. Li Xiaoyan gave you such a precious gift? Are you sure?"
"No, it's very precious. Sometimes she has to go back in two days. She's very angry..."
I want to say that when I feel particularly angry, I will give away the things I cherish to others.
Before Li Mingxuan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Hanxuan, "Do you think such remarks are reasonable?"
In the jury box, the jurors whispered to each other and shook their heads.
Apparently, Li Mingxuan first said that those stolen goods were given by Ms. Li Xiaoyan, but now he thinks they are too valuable and then changes his mind and says that he will take them back?
Isn't this ridiculous?
"You don't understand women..." Li Mingxuan sighed suddenly.
"What did you say?" Liu Hanhuan was startled.
"Ms. Li Xiaoyan loves her husband very much. Although she is only the second concubine, her husband has seven or eight concubines. All of these new loves are younger and more beautiful than her..."
"Witness, I didn't ask you a question!" Liu Hanhuan frowned.
Li Mingxuan sighed and continued: "But Ms. Li Xiaoyan was his husband's first wife. At that time, she was so young and beautiful, and her husband loved her so much. He bought the jade pendant for fifteen thousand yuan.
Just gave it to her like that."
Upon hearing the value of the jade pendant, the jury immediately gasped.
"Objection, witness, I didn't ask you questions, please don't talk to yourself!"
Li Mingxuan shook his head and sighed, "She thought she had won the whole world! But she didn't know that the happiness in life is often very short-lived."
"Men love the new and hate the old. Her husband has a third concubine, a fourth concubine, a fifth concubine..."
"She can only use alcohol to anesthetize herself, take out the jade pendant, and pretend to be the same happy girl!"
"However, she is still unhappy. She will throw her jade pendant and everything the man gave her to her followers, and tell them to get out of here with her most precious and painful memories!"
"But when she wakes up, she will find that no matter whether the memory is painful or happy, it is her life. She does not want to abandon her life and lose the meaning of living. Therefore,
She will ask her servants to send these memories back..."
Li Mingxuan narrated softly, and the entire court seemed to be silent, recalling this woman's joys and sorrows. The victim, for the first time, became a living person.
However, Liu Hanhuan's voice of "objection" that he kept shouting became a bit harsh and inappropriate.
Cao Guan initially ignored Liu Hanhuan's "objection" because these words could still guide him to speak out when asked by the defense lawyer.
But telling it now completely disrupted Liu Hanhuan's plan and the emotions he wanted to convey to the jury.
Seeing that Li Mingxuan had almost finished telling the story, Cao Guan nodded: "Li Haoran, please control your emotions and just answer the prosecution's questions!"
Li Mingxuan sighed and nodded slightly.
Liu Hanhuan's face looked a little ugly, and the next series of questions seemed to be very abrupt when asked at this time.
Staring at Li Mingxuan, this guy is definitely not simple, nor is he an ordinary person. It was a big mistake to think of him as an ordinary homeless person.
I didn't pay much attention to this case from the beginning, but now I see that I may have made a fatal mistake.
After standing for a while, he raised his head and said: "The defendant's mood is a little abnormal in court. I hope to adjourn the court temporarily to give the defendant time to rest."
