Chapter 294 People are the biggest variable in the court(1/2)
What Chen Jiaju saw was Lawyer Zhang who was calm and leisurely drinking tea, and Zhou Xiaoxing in the second row of the audience saw the same thing, but a little more.
Attorney Zhang's back trembled slightly. The lid of the tea cup that should have been placed on the table fell to the stall on the ground. His left hand tilted downwards, aiming at the direction of the lid. The right hands holding the tea cup were clasped together cautiously.
I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold it properly once we separate.
In the eyes of other people in the court, Lawyer Zhang just sat down and took a sip of tea. He was more careful and could see that he was about to pick up the lid of the teacup the next second. If he looked at people with emotion like Chen Jiaju, Lawyer Zhang would be so careful.
Meeting is the ceiling of on-the-spot reaction.
What's more powerful is that you can detect the panic in Lawyer Zhang's heart. For Zhou Xiaoxing's blunt statement, except for him in the whole court, only Lawyer Zhang himself knows.
Even Zhu Tao, who was so anxious that he wanted to jump out, couldn't notice it.
All these subtle changes in the courtroom happened in the blink of an eye, so the judge didn't think there was anything wrong. In his eyes, there was just one more prosecution witness.
The prosecutor who was three seats away from Lawyer Zhang was in high spirits. He touched his hair and raised his hand to see that not a single hair had fallen out.
If he is really in a good mood and everything is going in the ideal direction, his body will respond positively, such as his scalp retaining hair.
He has learned that he must not let negative emotions take over in the future. He is thirty-eight years old this year and is not yet forty. He cannot be bald like this.
The prosecutor carefully checked the documents in his hand, slowly tilted his head, and looked in the direction of the jury. The eleven members were surprisingly unanimous in writing on the paper without looking up.
Are you making a summary?
No, they haven’t even said their closing arguments yet?
Since he couldn't even see the writing on the desk of the nearest jury member, he didn't want to do it for the time being. He glanced at Lawyer Zhang who was squatting down to pick up something, and stood up proudly.
"Your Honor, the witness is outside the door. Please let him in, Your Honor."
Chen Jiaju looked confused. Before he finished testifying, Deputy Wen came in. Is the witness box a bit... crowded?
"Okay, witness, please go to the waiting room first and let the new witness come in."
The judge didn’t see through the thoughts of Chen Jiaju, who had his mouth squeezed into a line. He was just doing it... as a matter of routine.
With a cry in his heart, Chen Jiaju looked at the anxious and frightened Zhu Tao in the dock before leaving, and turned around to leave with satisfaction.
The reason why Satisfaction is not full is because he doesn’t know what Deputy Wen will say. Although Zhou Xiaoxing is here, he doesn’t have to worry, but he still feels a little worried in his heart.
People are the biggest variable in the court.
Just look at Salena who was still in his house before going to bed last night and disappeared when he got up this morning.
When he walked past Deputy Wen, Chen Jiaju deliberately took a peek. No, he stared at the former openly and openly for more than ten seconds.
Is it because Assistant Wen has a strong psychological quality and is pretending well, or is it because he had a verbal battle with Lawyer Zhang today, which made him a little dizzy and his brain is not used enough?
Unexpectedly, the door had been closed, and Chen Jiaju had no choice but to leave, take a step forward and pray: Deputy Wen, I usually have a normal relationship with you, but today you have to say more big words for the sake of the years we have worked together.
He had every reason to believe that Deputy Wen heard the big words that Chen Jiaju first testified about.
He pushed open the door to the lounge, and just as he was done, a clerk walked over. He was delicate and young, exactly the same as when he first went out to handle the case.
Passionate and determined to succeed.
Now, he is still the same, but his eyes are more capable.
It was given to him by time, and he liked this gift very much.
No one is born forever, time will teach him.
"Hello, the first witness sitting in your seat asked me to hand it over to you."
The clerk showed a professional smile and handed Chen Jiaju a piece of paper with both hands.
"Give...to me?"
Chen Jiaju's eyes slowly took on the appearance of a clerk in the waiting room. His right index finger pointed at himself, and the corner of his mouth twitched because his brain didn't have time to react.
In the clerk's opinion, the behavior of the man in front of him was very different from that described by the witness who gave him the note. No, it was a little worse, and a little more stupid.
"Yes."
Give it to the stupid guy who will come over later, with strong limbs and a simple mind.
The clerk affirmed and returned to the door to stand.
Chen Jiaju ignored the staff and looked at the orangutan in the zoo. He retracted his mouth, cautiously looked to both sides, and after confirming that no one was looking at him, he opened the folded note.
"Jiaju, wait and see my performance. The expression of a discharged gun is my signature."
Chen Jiaju took a deep breath and smiled with understanding.
The waiting room was no different than a courtroom. It was extremely quiet. Apart from rows of neatly arranged chairs, he was the only one.
Even though he was feeling all sorts of things, it was like a movie playing in his mind, with scenes of Deputy Wen and him arguing while handling the case drifting past. Looking at the note in his hand, he felt that Assistant Wen was different.
......
Deputy Wen stood in the witness box, facing a piece of paper, and read it solemnly, with a serious look on his face.
"...There is absolutely no lie."
Zhu Tao's fingers went numb when he heard it, and he shook the big fence that trapped him with all his strength, paying great attention to propriety without making any sound. Soon, the fear in his eyes disappeared and turned into murderous intent.
When he goes out, no, when he leaves the court, Deputy Wen will disappear.
People in the audience shook their heads when they saw that this witness was not only older than Chen Jiaju, but also looked arrogant. This witness looked like he was just here for fun. Like the police officer who was hesitant and in a dilemma before, Chen Jiaju would definitely be punished by the defense.
Lawyer hangs and beats.
With this expectation in mind, there were many more people in the crowd looking towards the second row. Some were so amazed by Zhou Xiaoxing's side profile that they took the hands of the people around them and shook them desperately, whether they recognized them or not.
When Zhou Xiaoxing heard the movements behind him, there was no expression on his face. He changed his legs and continued to cross his legs.
"Uncle Biao, did you handle this matter secretly?"
Sir Lin knew that Deputy Wen was missing, maybe to be a witness, but the procedures for hearing cases in the court were very strict, and even if there was a small deviation from the formalities, he would not be able to go to court, unless...Uncle Biao mentioned it without telling him.
Yeah.
Uncle Biao moved his body and did a good job. To be honest, he was not greedy, but...he was famous in the embassy for leaving his name when he did something, so...
He wants to tell the truth.
"Sir Lin, when I go back to work, I am always with you, so I can have some free time?"
He made it very clear that he did not accept this credit.
Strange, which one would it be? Someone who is familiar with the procedures of the embassy and understands the working style of the court?
Sir Lin leaned back and moved his mouth several times, thinking of chatting with Zhou Xiaoxing, but...
He did this to give fans who were obsessed with Zhou Xiaoxing a model. Centered in the middle of the second row, everyone within a few meters radius would learn to do this, with their mouths pouting in a circle and their heads gently shaking towards Zhou Xiaoxing.
Uh...I'm sorry to bother you.
Sir Lin silently took his head back and clasped his hands between his thighs. A chill ran down his back. Fortunately, no one was watching him do this. Otherwise, he would have found a hole in the ground and crawled in every minute.
Not only that, but you have to bury yourself tightly.
I don’t know who told him: Boys should pay more attention to protecting themselves outside.
If he had the chance, he would definitely tell Zhou Xiaoxing this.
Don't get me wrong, I'm either jealous of his handsomeness or worried about Meiko.
Meazi, yes, he forgot to explain. Only Meazi can help Assistant Wen complete a series of procedures in a short period of time so that he can attend smoothly.
He was so lucky to have Meiko as a helper, although she was the one who took the initiative to ask for help at first.
But that's not important. The key is that Meiko is too strong.
Sir Lin thought of Meiko and sat upright unconsciously, looking towards Deputy Wen. After he took the oath, he lowered his head slightly for a few seconds, not more, three seconds, and immediately raised his head, looking from the judge to the jury.
Zhu Tao's face stopped.
If you observe Assistant Wen in particular, you will find a hint of sadness flashing through his eyes at this time, which is in sharp contrast to the disdain in Zhu Tao's eyes.
This time, he had made up his mind not to do anything for Zhu Tao, so he moved his eyes. At this moment, he stood up straight with a slightly uneasy body, holding his hands on the witness stand.
For a moment, Deputy Wen's vision went dark. When he came back to his senses, he saw the prosecutor standing in front of him, his mouth slightly open and his hands spread out.
Just looking at the posture without looking at the face, he thought it was the defense lawyer Zhang.
"Hello, what's your name?"
"My surname is Wen, and everyone calls me Assistant Wen."
He deliberately did not say his full name, just to leave a way out for himself. He stood here, expecting that Zhu Tao would not let him go, so he tried his best to keep his personal information as private as possible.
There is no use saying more, but he is going to do it, as if his brain is instinctively protecting him, and his subconscious is making him answer like this.
The chief prosecutor raised his eyebrows. His name was not important. What the assistant clerk had to say later was what mattered. He quickly finished the regular questions and gradually got to the point.
"Deputy Literary Officer, what is the relationship between Chen Jiaju Shazhan and you?"
"Well... Ordinary colleagues will occasionally say a few words loudly during meetings in order to better solve cases."
"What do you mean by saying something loudly?"
To be continued...
