The judge knocked the gavel, and after a thud, the trial officially began.

The first witness of the prosecution was a maid.

The prosecutor said: "Witness, please briefly describe what happened that day."

Because it is a prosecution case, there have been many speeches in court before, so the witness behaved very calmly and expressed clearly.

"It was around eight o'clock in the evening. I finished my work and was watching TV in my room. I heard my husband and wife arguing in the living room. Then there was no sound outside. I came out and saw... the living room floor was full of blood, and the wife was lying down. In a pool of blood, the husband opened the door and was about to escape."

"What did you do afterwards?" the prosecutor asked.

The witness replied: "I was terrified at the time. My wife's head was gone and blood was everywhere. I hurried to call the police."

"Are you sure that the person you saw is Mr. Chen Bei'an in the dock?" The prosecutor asked again.

"yes, I'm sure."

"How long have you been a maid in Chen's house."

"One and a half years."

"In a year and a half, then you should be very familiar with Mr. Chen Bei'an and the deceased Ms. Cai Xin. It is absolutely impossible to admit the wrong person?"

"Yes."

The prosecutor nodded and looked at the judge: "Your Honor, I'm finished."

The judge looked at Mu Zi: "Please ask the defense lawyer for questioning."

Mu Zi stood up, and the atmosphere of the courtroom changed.

The facts of the case are very clear, and everyone's concern now is how Mu Zi defended Chen Bei'an.

"Excuse me, what is your specific job in the Chen family?" Mu Zi asked mildly. "I know there are many types of maids, such as cleaning, cooking, gardening..."

The maid replied: "I'm responsible for making lunch and dinner. Generally, after dinner, I have to clean the entire kitchen, and then I can rest for a while. If my wife doesn't want supper at nine o'clock, I can get off work."

"Is there only a wife?" Mu Zi asked, "Mr. Chen Bei'an, don't you want supper?"

"Mr. often doesn't come back at night."

Mu Zi shrugged, "It seems that the relationship between the two people is very bad. They often quarrel if they don't come home at night, don't they?"

"Yes, my husband has many lovers out there. It's no secret..." The maid chuckled, "Either he didn't come back, or he came back, and he was arguing with his wife."

"You stay in the house every time you quarrel?" Mu Zi asked.

"Yes." The maid nodded. "This is not a glorious thing after all. I am just a servant. Nosy me will only make myself lose my job."

Mu Zi asked: "Do you remember the content of their quarrel that night?"

"I didn't catch it." The maid shook her head. "I was watching TV and my room was a bit far from the living room."

Mu Zi said: "You didn't hear the voice clearly, and you only saw the back of the assailant when you came out. Can I understand that you are actually not sure that the man who ran away was my client, Mr. Chen Bei'an?"

"No!" The prosecutor stood up, "I oppose the defense lawyer's inducing questions of the witness."

Mu Zi immediately said: "Your Honor, this witness is the only witness who witnessed the murder, and she did not see the face of the assailant at all times! I think it is necessary to conduct an in-depth inquiry!"

The judge pondered for a moment and said: "The objection is invalid, and the defense lawyer can continue to inquire."

"Thank you, Honorable Judge." Mu Zi smiled and turned to look at the maid on the witness stand again.

It's just that the smile that she thinks is kind, falls in the eyes of the other person, just like the smile that a shark shows before eating.

The witness was obviously nervous.

Gu Er Shao in the auditorium whispered to Gu Liang, "Brother, do you think Miss Mu's appearance in court...a bit scary?"

Gu Liang smiled without saying a word.
