Judge Donovan said, "Are there any other witnesses for the prosecution and defence?"

Shen Lie stood up and motioned to him: "The prosecution is gone."

Gary also stood up unsteadily: "The defense is gone."

"Both sides, get ready. We will take a lunch break, and the closing statement will begin at two o'clock in the afternoon." Judge Donovan raised his small hammer, "Adjourn the court!"

During the adjournment, Shen Lie returned to the office, lay on the sofa with his eyes open and didn't know what he was thinking, Ning Yuan leaned over and squatted down: "Hey, you were so handsome when you forced Joanna, I was dumbfounded, and the jury Also dumbfounded."

Shen Lie hooked the corners of his lips, snorted on Ning Yuan's hair, thought for a while and then simply pulled his arm, pulling his whole body onto himself.

Ning Yuan: "..."

Just after praising you, you are playing hooligans!

Shen Lie looked at Ning Yuan's red ears, couldn't help hugging him tighter, and whispered in his ear: "Do you like me?"

Shen Lie's scorching breath, and his low and magnetic voice, Ning Yuan awkwardly wanted to reply that he likes a fart, but he still succumbed and said: "... I like it..."

Because it is too much!handsome!up!

It feels really two meters eight!

Shen Lie's smile became more and more obvious, hooking Ning Yuan's chin to let him look at him: "Do you like it when I'm not in court?"

Ning Yuan blushed, and stretched out his hand to cover his face: "...Don't talk about whether you like it or not, you are shameless!"

Shen Lie felt Ning Yuan's hand on his face while laughing, and scratched the latter's waist viciously.

The effect is immediate.

Ning Yuan couldn't help laughing itchyly, thinking about it, he couldn't break free, and finally curled up on Shen Lie's body with tears in his eyes: "Hahahaha, don't scratch me, I'm wrong hahahaha, I like it, I like it, I like it the most, don't scratch it!"

Nazi!

fascist!

Love obtained by means of persecution is lifeless!

snort!

After playing enough, Shen Lie finally let go, looked at Ning Yuan's cheeks full of tears, gently wiped them away, and said sarcastically, "Only with your little fighting power?"

Ning Yuan: "...QAQ."

Playing around, Shen Lie didn't touch Ning Yuan again when he got down to business, he just hugged him solemnly and said, "The current situation of this case seems to be favorable to us, and Joanna didn't have the time period when Peggy was killed. On the contrary, there are witnesses who testified that a conflict broke out between them and saw her dragging Peggy's body; there is physical evidence, the code on the ring is hers, and the jury is not stupid; plus Peggy The picture of Qi's death is too shocking, and our side has a great chance of winning."

Ning Yuan nodded, thought for a while and asked again: "You said before that Joanna was sent to a foster care institution because her parents didn't want her anymore, it was..."

"I guessed it," Shen Lie said frankly, "you can see that she started to abuse small animals at such a young age, I don't think her parents will be ignorant."

Ning Yuan touched his chin: "That's right. Generally, anti-social and perverted killers will show signs when they are young, such as bed-wetting in grades that shouldn't be bed-wetting, cruelty to small animals, and arson. I don't know if Joanna has bed-wetting and arson that are inappropriate for her age." , but as far as animal cruelty is concerned, it is a lack of empathy. She wants to experience the pleasure of depriving other lives, the desire to control. It can be said that this is the foreplay of killing. Normal people will Reflected on small animals, so as to generate liking and affection for them."

When Ning Yuan talked about things in his own field, he would be very serious and serious, which was completely different from his usual, but Shen Lie felt that such a contrast was inexplicably attractive to him.

"But once people lose this kind of empathy, they can't empathize with themselves, and they will completely separate the small animals from themselves, and even separate other people from themselves," Ning Yuan continued solemnly, " This is the antisocial thinking like Joanna: The world can be divided into two kinds of creatures, me and everyone else. So in her heart, a bug is no different from her parents."

"Well," Shen Lie stroked Ning Yuan's soft hair, "It's good that you found Joanna abusing small animals."

Ning Yuan looked up at him with big eyes, "Really?"

Shen Lie was amused by him, and scratched his chin with his fingers, like teasing a kitten: "Really, how many people in the jury do you think have kittens and puppies at home?"

like me.

Gary walked up to the jury and began his closing statement: "Dear jurors, please take a look at my client sitting in the dock. She is a student with excellent character and learning. She is the president of the student union at the school. The classmates are very close, the grades are all A, the family is very well-off, and the family is very happy. Joanna is a perfect example. Why would such a person kill his good friend? Don't you feel puzzled?" He walked to the jury The front of the meeting began to discuss, "Even if she is engaged to Peggy's boyfriend due to family reasons, she is afraid of hurting Peggy and dare not tell her. Isn't such Joanna the kind of daughter you want? Why put Such a crime was imposed on her? And the only witness of the prosecution, or a controversial witness, has a questionable character and honesty. So I am here to ask you not to convict Joanna."

Casey was sitting in the judging booth. Hearing Gary's words, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he whispered to Dino: "I am also convinced by these three views."

Dino also responded in a low voice: "Not to mention the three views, at least it is very provocative."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Lie stood up and faced the jury: "The defense lawyer was right about one thing. Joanna did have good academic performance and was very close to her classmates, but these were all her superficial efforts. .No one is perfect, and neither is the defendant."

He pointed to Joanna, "The defendant is engaged to her good friend's boyfriend, but she pretends to be innocent. Please ask the jurors to think about it. If she is really guilty and innocent, why is she still guilty?" Want to drive with Luke in front of Peggy's house? The defendant said that he had never seen Peggy that day, so why did the witness witness her dragging Peggy's body and find her ring? The defendant abused small animals since she was a child. In my heart," Shen Lie signaled to several jurors, "you, you, you, including me, are no different from an ant. In this way, even my good friends can be like this, let alone others? So I am here, sincerely hope Dear jury, you can convict the defendant and give justice to the victim."

Standing next to him, Ning Yuan clearly saw the expressions of many jurors change.

When Judge Donovan saw that both the prosecution and the defense had finished their closing statements, he tapped the hammer and told the jury to go back to discuss and wait for the next hearing time.

When Shen Lie was packing his things, he turned his head and saw Joanna who was taken away by the bailiff, and frowned slightly.

Ning Yuan squatted beside him: "What are you thinking?"

Shen Lie looked away: "I was wondering where Peggy's fetus and breasts went."
