Three people and one ghost solved 43 mysterious cases.

Hu Muchen expressed deep emotions and finished her closing speech, then wiped the tears from her eyes and sat down.

On the dock was the pitiful Zhao Ling'er.

In the auditorium was Xu Wenshan with a solemn expression.

In the auditorium, Yao Ruolan was in another thought. She didn't care that she was being deliberately smeared, and she had no emotion at all.

Her eyes were focused on the jury members. What micro-expressions were there on the faces of the 12 jury members? What were their personalities? There were six women, and some nodded slightly.

Yao Ruolan thought about the voting results in her heart for a while.

Zhao Ling'er's two murder cases will be decided by a jury vote, and a murder conviction requires a large proportion of votes to be convicted.

In other words, to decide whether Zhao Linger is guilty of murder, at least 12 out of 9 people need to vote for one party.

It seems that it will take at least a day to get the results, Yao Ruolan thought.

She is immersed in one psychological puzzle after another, which is what interests her most.

.

Before the vote, the judge made a statement:

Fellow jurors, murder is a serious charge and a large majority of the vote is required for the verdict to be final.

I believe that you have fully listened to the speeches of both the prosecution and the defense in the past few days, and fully understand the face of the incident.

But there is one thing I need to remind you of.

In this case, the actions of Inspector Xu Wenshan and Dr. Yao Ruolan did not comply with the regulations.

Therefore, members of the jury, you do not need to pay attention to any testimony about Inspector Xu Wenshan and Dr. Yao Ruolan, and it will not be used as a reference for the case.

The judge knocked his gavel and adjourned the case.

.

eight hours later.

In the courtroom pantry, a jury member went to make coffee. Another man was sitting on the couch eating cookies.

Several others were looking at case files.

In these eight hours, they have gone through three votes, but failed to get 9 votes. no result.

Some of these jury members firmly believed that Zhao Ling'er was guilty, while others believed that he was not guilty. Several people originally believed that Zhao Ling'er was guilty but changed their votes of not guilty.

This all comes down to Hu Muchhen's final speech, which brought back all the original conclusive facts.

Because legally, the benefit of the doubt goes to the defendant.

Hu Muzhen blamed Luo Zhongping's death on Liu Tao, portrayed Liu Tao as a twisted person, and attributed Leng Mei's killing of Liu Tao to the rhetoric of self-defense.

Her speech was left at the end, creating great "doubts", and every sentence made sense. It was deeply imprinted in the minds of every juror and lingered in it.

Then, the twelve jury members returned to the conference table.

The jury foreman was a man. He took a sip of hot tea and said, "Everyone, let's discuss the case again."

"What are we discussing? Zhao Ling'er just killed two people. She should go to jail." one person said.

The jury foreman said:

Ladies and gentlemen, we must now make a clear distinction between cases one by one. We cannot bring prejudice into another murder case just because there is prejudice in one murder case.

We need to distinguish these two cases.

Let’s start with the first case, Luo Zhongping’s murder case. Everyone raises their hands again to see whether Zhao Ling’er is guilty of murder.

Jurors raised their hands.

The team leader clicked the votes and got 10:2 this time.

Two swingers changed their votes.

The team leader breathed a sigh of relief. The Luo Zhongping murder case finally came to an end.

10 votes were against and 2 were in favor, Zhao Linger was not found guilty of murder.

This result is obvious because the testimony of Yao Ruolan and Xu Wenshan is invalid.

Luo Zhongping is dead, but there is no evidence or murder weapon indicating that Zhao Ling'er killed Luo Zhongping.

Luo Zhongping's body was found, but the jury gradually suspected that Liu Tao had killed Luo Zhongping and then brainwashed Zhao Ling'er into telling those things.

Based on the benefit of doubt being given to the defendant, Zhao Linger cannot be convicted.

The team leader said: "Okay, next, let's vote. Is Zhao Ling'er, or Leng Mei, the character, guilty of murdering Liu Tao?"

Jury members raised their votes.

6: 6.

"Why is it a tie vote again! It's been four times and it's still the same result." A male jury member was dissatisfied. "It's an obvious fact that Zhao Ling'er killed Liu Tao."

One female jury member objected:

Where is it obvious? We all know that this was done by Zhao Ling'er's second person Lengmei.

But Leng Mei was forced to kill Liu Tao by mistake.

"It's not a mistake, it's intentional." One person corrected.

The female jury member said:

I may have used the wrong words, but I think Leng Mei did this in self-defense.

She couldn't get out of that cage at all. She really didn't know if she could survive tomorrow.

Liu Tao was powerful, so she could only use hemp rope to resist, which was self-defense.

.

By this time two swing jurors had agreed.

But a male jury member said quietly, "Everyone, do you really think Liu Tao is hateful? I think he loves Zhao Ling'er deeply."

One person got angry and said, "Why are we getting involved in this matter again?"

The female jury member smiled and said:

That's a good question.

If we think Liu Tao loves Zhao Ling'er, then he will want to drive away Leng Mei's personality and kill Leng Mei.

What Leng Mei did was self-defense.

On the contrary, if Liu Tao only used Zhao Ling'er for experiments, then Liu Tao would be a person with a twisted personality. He created Leng Mei, and Leng Mei was his masterpiece, so he would not kill Leng Mei easily.

What Leng Mei did was like intentional murder.

One person collapsed and scratched his head, "Oh my God, when will this be discussed? I still have to go to work tomorrow?"

Another person originally voted not guilty. After hearing this, he thought that he would have to go to work tomorrow and it would be a mess, so he changed his mind and said, "I agree that the crime was found guilty of intentional homicide. The evidence is obvious. Hurry up and vote again."

The team leader calmed everyone down:

Folks, since we are sitting here, we are responsible for the job of the jury.

This case is extremely special. Zhao Linger has indeed suffered unfair treatment from her ex-husband and even her boyfriend before.

That is her past, but her future is in the hands of every vote and in our hands. We will decide this woman's future.

Therefore, we must be objective and fair, and do not cast a random vote based on our own emotions.

My daughter will also have to take an exam tomorrow, and my old mother will have to go to the hospital for medical treatment, but if it’s because I made a hasty decision for my own reasons.

From now on I will have a guilty conscience.

I would like to remind everyone again that no matter how long you stay here, you must think clearly, put aside all distracting thoughts, and cast your crucial vote.

"Okay, now we all separate and think individually, and we will think about the fifth vote in an hour."
