The next day, Xi Ling told Shen Qingmo about the vibrating screen hidden in the Northern Qi Grottoes, and Shen Qingmo efficiently found his friend in the police, who promised to protect the evidence and not allow anyone to remove it.

In the next few days, Xi Ling and Attorney Shen were busy sorting out the materials to be used in court. Chang Qin saw that he couldn't help much, so he didn't bother them, and wandered around Taiyuan City alone, looking for the leftover ancient architecture.

The day before the trial, Xi Ling asked lawyer Shen's assistant to bring Bai Yulan and her mother-in-law to Taiyuan. The woman who had been silent all the way burst into tears when she saw her husband. stood aside.

"If you still want to sue him for illegal trafficking of women, I can help you too." Xi Ling walked to her side and said softly.

Bai Yulan was silent for a while, then shook her head, her eyes kept ignoring the front: "Lawyer Xi, please, please return my father-in-law's innocence."

Xi Ling turned his head, just in time to see a tear falling from the corner of her eye, which made him stunned for a while.In this life, except for his elder sister, Xi Ling has never admired any woman. At this moment, he couldn't help but look at Bai Yulan a few more times, and felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart.

The case started to go to trial soon, Xi Ling borrowed a dark black suit from Shen Qingmo, and put on the leather shoes bought in a nearby shopping mall, because it was not easy to carry, so he threw it away when he planned to use it, and bought the cheapest shoes in the shopping mall. He put some pomade on his head again, and stroked his usually soft bangs to both sides of the hair path. In addition, his inherently impeccable facial features, matched with this high-end suit, set off the pair of cheap leather shoes like It is an international brand.

As Xi Ling's assistant, Shen Qingmo sat on the stage with him, and Chang Qin accompanied Bai Yulan and her mother-in-law in the auditorium. Because the case was quiet, there were only a few people in the entire trial court at this time.

After the court session, the public prosecutor read out the general case history, and Xi Ling then got up and bowed, and said, "Dear presiding judge, all jurors, this is a rough estimation based on my on-site visits a few days ago. The specific number of construction workers on the construction site - it is understood that the temporary residential building has two floors, with 320 rooms on each floor, and each room accommodates [-] people, which is about [-] people. In addition, this is the exact number of people I got from Shining Star. There is not much difference from the number I deduced, please refer to the presiding judge." After hearing Xi Ling's words, Shen Qingmo stood up and presented a list to the judge seat.

After reviewing it carefully, the presiding judge nodded and signaled Xi Ling to continue.

"As far as I know, the delivery time agreed between Shining Star Company and Bluetown Group is the end of this year, and I learned from the relevant person in charge of Shining Star Company that the company has no intention of recruiting construction workers in order to save costs. That is to say, this 320 workers must complete all the works before the end of the year. In addition, I also learned from the on-site construction personnel that the task of mixing cement is easy. The vibrating screen is easy to operate and can be completed by only one worker. Liu Youneng Usually taciturn, it is most appropriate for him to be in charge of this job, let me ask, how could it be possible to arrange two workers to take charge of a job with a small workload in such a budget-conscious and time-constrained engineering team." Xi Ling calmly expressed his point of view After the presentation, sit back down.

The other party's lawyer immediately stood up and defended: "The defendant's lawyer just stated the fact that Liu Youneng is taciturn, and according to the team leader in charge of Liu Youneng's report, Liu Youneng's brain is not good, and the operation of the vibrating screen is indeed very simple. But Liu Youneng still couldn’t learn it after dozens of times, the team leader had no choice but to divide the defendant Liu Guicheng and Liu Youneng into a group, and let Liu Guicheng assist his son in the operation.”

Sitting under the stage, Chang Qin couldn't help but sweat for Xi Ling. Seeing the prosecuting lawyer's sternness and confidence, he obviously came prepared, and seeing his shameless appearance of opening his eyes and talking nonsense without blushing, Chang Qin secretly Draw a big circle on the seat.

Xi Ling did not rush, looked towards the trial seat, and asked politely: "Judge, I would like to ask the defendant a few questions."

The presiding judge nodded.Xi Ling signaled Shen Qingmo to turn on the slide projector, then looked at Liu Guicheng who was guarded by two criminal policemen, and said, "Liu Guicheng, please tell me the name of the machine on the picture."

At this time, the slide projector was played on the projection screen, showing a small agricultural machinery.

"Harvester." Liu Guicheng replied without thinking.

"Very good." Xi Ling nodded approvingly, and continued to ask, "Please tell me what this button is for." The picture switched to the next one, this time it was the console inside the harvester, Xi Ling held up the command handle, point to somewhere in it.

"This is the dust-feeding adjustment handle." Liu Guicheng answered accurately with just one glance.

"what about this?"

"Sub-shift lever."

"What is this?"

"Grass discharge handle."

"I object. The defense lawyer's question has nothing to do with this case." The prosecution lawyer hurriedly stood up to protest.

"Presiding judge." Xi Ling looked towards the judge seat, and replied calmly, "The questions I'm asking now are all laying the groundwork for my next questions."

The presiding judge nodded and said, "The objection is invalid. The defense lawyers please continue."

Xi Ling turned around and switched to the next picture. At this time, the original cutting machine was no longer displayed on the screen, but the key machine in this case: the vibrating screen.

"Liu Guicheng, what is this?" Xi Ling asked.

Liu Guicheng raised his head, squinted his eyes for a long time, and finally shook his head, expressing his confusion.

Then he switched to the details of the vibrating screen, pointed to a place and asked, "What is this button for?"

Liu Guicheng shook his head.

"what about this?"

Still shaking his head.

Xi Ling looked at the prosecuting lawyer and said clearly: "Liu Guicheng once worked in the harvesting field in the town, so he is naturally familiar with the operation of the harvesting machine. If you don’t come up, let me ask him, who is so unfamiliar with this construction machine, how he can guide his son to use it.”

"I oppose defense lawyers confusing the public opinion." Prosecution lawyers hastily protested.

"Prosecutor's lawyer, please elaborate." The presiding judge signaled.

"As the defendant's defense lawyer, the defense lawyer naturally has many opportunities to induce the defendant. When he replaced the cutting machine with a vibrating screen, the defendant can choose ignorance in his subjective consciousness. This is not enough evidence in this case. Please presiding judge and jurors think twice."

After a brief chatter, the presiding judge said: "Please ask the defense lawyers to present more convincing evidence."

Xi Ling nodded and returned to his original position.

The prosecutor's lawyer stood up and presented a note, saying: "This is the written statement written by the defendant Liu Guicheng himself after the incident, and he explained all the facts that he accidentally killed his own son due to improper operation. Please read it to the presiding judge. .”

"Presiding judge." After the presiding judge read the document word by word, Xi Ling got up calmly: "I also have a handwritten document written by Liu Guicheng here, and I asked Liu Guicheng's wife and daughter-in-law to bring it from home. Come, let the presiding judge take a look."

"Buy and sell record list, what is this?" the presiding judge frowned.

"This is a list written by Liu Guicheng when he was doing farm work at home." Xi Ling replied, "The presiding judge can see that the handwriting on this list is exactly the same as that on the handwriting in the presiding judge's hand, but There are obvious discrepancies. The handwriting on the first piece of paper is clear, vigorous and powerful, indicating that Liu Guicheng wrote it in a state of clear consciousness, while the handwriting on the second piece of paper is blurred, the font is crooked, and the layout is extremely regular. I was instigated to copy from another same note, because when a person writes, he subconsciously changes lines according to the copied template, so I have every reason to believe that Liu Guicheng not only did not kill his son by mistake, but was even beaten and threatened. I was forced to copy a confession statement and sign it." Xi Ling argued forcefully, his deep voice echoing in the empty courtroom.

"I object!" The prosecution lawyer obviously panicked, almost jumped up, and shouted at the presiding judge, "I object to the defense lawyer's unreasonable speculation."

"Is my guess reasonable?" Xi Ling looked at the other party, and answered calmly, "Of course there are facts to prove it for me. Please ask the presiding judge, we will present an important evidence to the court, please let the presiding judge show."

"Bring it up." The presiding judge nodded in agreement.

Xi Ling glanced at Shen Qingmo, who nodded, and the two policemen guarding the gate opened the door. Then, a large trolley was pushed into the center of the platform. Blue cloth, a dark blue vibrating screen appeared in front of everyone.

"The presiding judge." Xi Ling said, "This is the vibrating screen that Liu Youneng used when his accident happened."

There was an uproar at the scene, and everyone whispered to each other.

Chang Qin sat under the stage, watching the prosecutor's lawyer and his assistant panic-stricken with satisfaction, then turned his head, and saw several people in charge of Xingyao Company on the lower left looking at each other, his face turned pale with fright, and he couldn't help it The corner of his mouth slanted, revealing a smug smile.

"Silence!" The presiding judge impatiently tapped the small hammer in his hand, looked at Xi Ling, "The defense lawyers please continue."

"This is the vibrating screen that my friend Chang Qin and I found on the construction site. There are Liu Youneng's blood and Liu Guicheng's fingerprints on it, which is enough to prove that this is the machine that Liu Youneng used at that time." He said, handing over a copy experiment report.After careful checking, the presiding judge nodded and signaled Xi Ling to continue.

"This is the clothes Liu Guicheng wore before he was detained. It should be what the prosecution called Liu Guicheng's clothes on the 'day of the incident', but the report shows that the professional forensic doctor used luminol to react with hemoglobin in hemoglobin and peroxidase. Finally, there was no blue-green fluorescence on it, which means that the clothes are not stained with any blood." Xi Ling put on his gloves, took out the clothes he got from Shen Qingmo earlier, and unfolded them for everyone present to see.

"May I ask that his own son fell to the ground and died, which father would not step forward to check? Since Liu Guicheng was at the scene of the incident, and the blood on the vibrating screen proved that Liu Youneng did gushes out a lot of blood after being severely injured in the heart, why? Was the clothes Liu Guicheng wore that day stained with any blood?" Xi Ling raised the clothes in his hands high and asked loudly.

The opposing lawyer was finally speechless after being refuted. He sat on the plaintiff's table, eyes wide open in embarrassment. His back was already covered with sweat. He looked at the high-spirited person on the stage, and he felt admiration spontaneously.

During the closing statement, Xi Ling stood in the middle of the stage, straightened his back, and said unhurriedly: "Liu Guicheng's injury, people with a discerning eye know that it is man-made rather than an accident, but there are always people who turn a blind eye to it and have to spend a lot of time Let’s fight this ridiculous lawsuit.” He glanced at the plaintiffs under the stage, “Our country has a large land and a large population, and things like corruption, breaking the law, and malpractice for personal gain happen from time to time. My friend, it may be a flower of evil that has not yet bloomed, such as a public servant in uniform, or a cold-faced beast under a gorgeous dress." He turned his eyes to the white magnolia that was looking at him, " Migrant workers like Liu Youneng are originally vulnerable groups, with no status or identity, and are like scum in society. Whenever this happens, the individual "person" will appear extremely small, the more incompetent, the less aid he will receive , all we can rely on is faith. The French writer Gide once wrote in "Food on Earth": You will never understand how much effort we have put in to make ourselves interested in life. Society may be dark, but life There is also injustice. We are ordinary people. It is not easy to be ourselves, and it is even more difficult to help others without worry. Flowers are easy to fall, and the moon is hard to be round. People have lived for decades, and they are greedy for profit. Ascend to the sky, and I stand here now, every word I say and everything I do in this place is to make all my efforts in the past, in exchange for a crown that I will never bow my head in this life." Finally, he looked deeply at someone in the middle of the stands, and smiled almost invisible.

The person in the audience looked at him well, seeing that he was well-dressed, personable, and his gestures exuded calmness and calmness. He couldn't help but think of the night when the two of them hid in the old house. Xi Ling said that at that time they When he went bankrupt, everyone on the board of directors besieged his sister, who stood alone in the middle of the crowd, fighting with the crowd. At that time, facing such a fierce scene, what was he thinking in his heart?The reason why a person transforms is mostly because he has experienced the kind of heart-piercing Nirvana.

Just like Sanmao once wrote: I have survived year after year, just for the color of a butterfly when I regenerate.
