Escape From the Library

【Innocence Defense-17】

When she heard that Li Huijuan was going to testify, Zhu Xiaoting's eyes lit up—out of the four people in dormitory 703, her favorite roommate was Li Huijuan.Li Huijuan is a top student in the School of Biological Sciences. She receives scholarships every year. She is independent and assertive. She is a very self-cultivated girl.

Zhu Xiaoting turned her head to look at the door, only to see a pretty girl in a white shirt and black skirt was brought into the court by the staff, with a calm face, she walked slowly to the witness stand and stood up.Although she is the same age as Zhu Xiaoting, her dress as a professional woman is much more mature.

She nodded politely towards the trial seat, and looked at Yue Xingwen calmly.

Yue Xingwen stepped forward and asked, "You are Li Huijuan, a student in bed 703-4 in the female dormitory of Beishan University, a senior student in the School of Biological Sciences, and you are currently doing an internship at Jinxin Biopharmaceutical Group in Beishan City, right?"

Li Huijuan said: "That's right."

"Xie Xiangqin and Mao Yue from the Law School, and Zhu Xiaoting from the Translation School are all your roommates?"

"Yes."

"On October 10, the day Xie Xiangqin died, weren't you in the 26 dormitory?"

"Well, I started my internship at the company on October 10th. Our company provides accommodation for interns, so I don't live in the school dormitory recently. I was not there on the day of the incident, and I don't know what happened."

Yue Xingwen nodded at her, and continued to ask: "You have lived in a dormitory for 4 years, how is your usual relationship? Among the four people, who has a better relationship with whom, and who has conflicts with whom, can you explain in detail? ?”

Li Huijuan said: "Xie Xiangqin and Mao Yue are both from the law school. They are classmates in the same class and have a relatively close relationship. Zhu Xiaoting and I are from different schools. The personal relationship is not close, Zhu Xiaoting and Xie Xiangqin have quarreled several times."

Yue Xingwen concluded: "That is to say, among the four people in the 703 dormitory, Xie Xiangqin and Mao Yue have the best relationship; you are neutral and are not close to anyone; Xie Xiangqin and Zhu Xiaoting have the worst relationship, which has happened many times. Arguing, right?"

Li Huijuan: "Yes."

Yue Xingwen: "When Zhu Xiaoting and Xie Xiangqin were arguing, would Mao Yue subconsciously stand by Xie Xiangqin's side and reject Zhu Xiaoting with her because she had a better relationship with Xie Xiangqin?"

Li Huijuan fell silent.

Xingwen's question is very critical.

It is also common for two people in the girls' dormitory to be in a group. Once Li Huijuan can confirm that Mao Yue and Xie Xiangqin have a closer relationship, and together with Xie Xiangqin reject Zhu Xiaoting, then the credibility of Mao Yue's testimony as an eyewitness will be greatly reduced—— She probably threw dirty water on Zhu Xiaoting on purpose because she rejected Zhu Xiaoting!

In the audience, the teammates pricked up their ears waiting for the answer.

Li Huijuan looked at Yue Xingwen, and met the boy's calm and calm eyes.

She thought for a few seconds, and then said: "Mao Yue does often speak for Xie Xiangqin. The time Zhu Xiaoting accidentally broke Xie Xiangqin's mug, Xie Xiangqin scolded Zhu Xiaoting face to face, and Mao Yue helped, and the two scolded Zhu Xiaoting to tears. I went back to the dormitory to persuade them to fight, but in the end they asked Zhu Xiaoting to write a guarantee letter in front of me."

Audience in the gallery: "..."

Yue Xingwen asked in a low voice: "Xie Xiangqin and Zhu Xiaoting had quarreled many times, and Mao Yue often helped Xie Xiangqin to speak, so the relationship between Mao Yue and Zhu Xiaoting is also very bad?"

Li Huijuan didn't hesitate this time, she just nodded and said, "Yes."

Yue Xingwen looked at the presiding judge: "As a witness, Mao Yue is the No. 1 witness in this case. Since the deceased Xie Xiangqin was her friend, and the defendant Zhu Xiaoting had a very bad relationship with her, she saw Zhu Xiaoting holding a When cutting the knife, out of disgust for Zhu Xiaoting, he subconsciously shouted 'Zhu Xiaoting killed someone'!"

Yue Xingwen paused, and said calmly: "People often have subjective emotions in their judgments about what they see and hear, especially when the person who made the mistake is someone they hate, they will subconsciously magnify the mistake. , which is the so-called "adding insult to injury" mentality. Mao Yue has helped Xie Xiangqin reprimand Zhu Xiaoting many times, and has always been displeased with Zhu Xiaoting. Therefore, in the case of Xie Xiangqin's death, she insisted that she witnessed Zhu Xiaoting's murder—her testimony was not acceptable. letter!"

When the teammates in the audience heard this, they wished they could applaud Xingwen.

The eyewitness Mao Yue is one of the key factors for Zhu Xiaoting's conviction. Once her testimony becomes unreliable, the possibility of Zhu Xiaoting being wronged will be even greater.

The court debate is like a scale. They have no clear evidence, so they can only tilt the scale in Zhu Xiaoting's direction with little by little chips.The more bargaining chips in Zhu Xiaoting's favor, the higher the probability of Zhu Xiaoting's innocence in the end!

Both Lan Yarong and Yue Xingwen were well aware of this, so they racked their brains to start from various details and prepared a lot of questions to reveal the suspicious points of this case.

Sure enough, after Yue Xingwen finished speaking, the prosecutor frowned. He seemed to want to interrupt, but held back,

Yue Xingwen continued to ask: "Based on what you know about Xie Xiangqin, what kind of person is she?"

Li Huijuan said: "In my opinion, she is a beautiful and delicate girl. Her family conditions are very good, and she usually pays attention to dressing. She has a little vanity and loves to show off her things to us. Apart from showing off, I haven't done anything particularly bad, so I usually don't pay her much attention."

Yue Xingwen changed the subject and asked, "Are there many boys chasing her?"

Li Huijuan thought for a while, and said: "She told us a lot. After all, she is very beautiful, and she can be regarded as a department girl in law school. However, she has been with Zou Yijia since the second semester of her sophomore year."

Yue Xingwen said: "After she and Zou Yijia got together, did she mention other boys pursuing her?"

Li Huijuan said: "Yes. This year, for her birthday, a boy gave her a big gift bag of snacks. She took it back to the dormitory and shared it with us, showing off that it was given by the boy chasing her."

The presiding judge Yue Xingwen said: "President, please allow the defense assistant to submit some photo evidence."

The presiding judge nodded, and Lin Manluo immediately stepped forward and opened the photos prepared in advance in the USB flash drive. Some photos of lipstick and perfume appeared on the large screen on the side of the courtroom. The screenshots are from Xie Xiangqin's circle of friends.

Yue Xingwen pointed to the photo and asked, "Did Xie Xiangqin say who gave these things to her?"

Li Huijuan nodded: "It was given by her boyfriend Zou Yijia. Zou Yijia especially likes to give her lipstick and perfume. There is a dressing table on her desk, and all the cosmetics in it are gifts from her boyfriend."

Yue Xingwen winked at Lin Manluo, and Senior Sister Lin immediately opened the next photo: "Then what about these?"

There are several anime character figures in the photo.

Although these are simple dolls, they are actually very expensive, especially this kind of exquisite figure with a height of more than 30 centimeters, which can be sold for tens of thousands of prices.

Li Huijuan was stunned for a moment: "I don't know about these, she didn't mention who gave it to me."

Yue Xingwen changed the subject and asked, "How is the relationship between Xie Xiangqin and Zou Yijia? Has there been any quarrel?"

Li Huijuan said: "On the surface, they have a very good relationship. Xie Xiangqin often shows affection in the circle of friends. However, on September 9 this year, because I was going to the company for an internship, I went back to the dormitory to pack my luggage. When I entered the door, I heard Xie Xiangqin and Zou Yijia arguing fiercely. , Xie Xiangqin yelled at Zou Yijia and said things like 'how can you doubt me'."

"Are you sure it was her boyfriend Zou Yijia who quarreled with her?"

"Yes, I saw the caller ID on her mobile phone, which is the profile picture of Zou Yijia."

"What was the result of the quarrel?"

"When she saw me coming in, she said 'I'm too lazy to explain to you', then hung up the phone and lay on the table crying. I thought it was a misunderstanding between the couple, so I went to persuade her a few words."

"The two things she said to Zou Yijia were—how can you doubt me, and you don't bother to explain to you." Yue Xingwen emphasized his tone, looking straight at Li Huijuan, "Are you sure you heard me right?"

"My memory is very good. What's more, this happened half a month ago, so I won't remember it wrong."

Yue Xingwen gave Lin Manluo a look, and Senior Sister Lin switched to the next photo.

"Do you know this person?" Yue Xingwen asked with a smile.

In the photo, a girl in anime costume is standing next to the poster of the comic exhibition, smiling brightly at the camera. Her skin is very fair, her appearance is delicate, her lips are red and moist, like a delicate porcelain that came out of a cartoon baby.

"Cosplay? I don't know much about it." Li Huijuan said.

Lin Manluo immediately released the next photo, and Yue Xingwen said, "What about her?"

"This is Xie Xiangqin." Li Huijuan said with certainty.

The next one is a photo of Xie Xiangqin and the "anime girl" just now.

Li Huijuan looked at the photo with a puzzled face, and Yue Xingwen said: "From the photo, Xie Xiangqin and this person are very close, holding hands, back to back, did she ever mention in the dormitory that she has a cosplay lover who likes anime?" friend?"

Li Huijuan shook her head: "Never mentioned it."

Yue Xingwen pointed to the photo at the back: "Is this figure the same as the one Xie Xiangqin put in the dormitory?"

Li Huijuan looked at the doll in the photo and nodded, "It's the same model."

Yue Xingwen: "Did she bring this figure back to the dormitory during May Day?"

Li Huijuan said: "Yes, when I went back to the dormitory, I found a cute hand-made doll on her desk. I took another look, and she said she bought it during May Day."

The public prosecutor suddenly stood up and interrupted: "The defense lawyer's question is not directly related to this case, and it deliberately disturbs the audience. Please stop meaningless questions!"

The presiding judge said: "Please pay attention to the defense lawyers and don't ask questions that have nothing to do with the case."

"Presiding judge, these questions are closely related to this case." Yue Xingwen insisted, "Please allow us to invite the next witness, the president of Beishan University Animation Club, student Qi Xinyu, the answer will be revealed soon .”

The presiding judge thought about it, nodded and said, "I have invited witnesses."

Yue Xingwen thanked Li Huijuan, and she left, followed by another girl who was invited up.

Qi Xinyu was standing on the witness stand, and she was surprised when she saw Yue Xingwen in a suit in front of her—isn't this Jiang Pingce's classmate from the Department of Mathematics?Why is he standing in court?

Yue Xingwen added her as a friend at the time just to inquire about information, and made up a random fiction that he was Jiang Pingce from the School of Mathematics. Unexpectedly, this girl became an important witness in the case.In order to prevent the other party from being suspicious and unable to concentrate on answering the question, Yue Xingwen stepped back and whispered in Lan Yarong's ear, "Senior sister, you can ask this witness."

Lan Yarong nodded, walked quickly in front of the witness on high heels, and asked with a smile: "Qi Xinyu, hello, I am Zhu Xiaoting's defense lawyer, Lan Yarong. You are the president of Beishan University Animation Club ,Is it right?"

Qi Xinyu quickly came back to his senses, withdrew his suspicious eyes from Yue Xingwen's face, looked at the female lawyer with a friendly smile in front of him, nodded and said, "Yes."

Lan Yarong pointed to the photo on the screen and asked, "Do you know this person?"

Qi Xinyu followed her fingers to look at the screen, nodded quickly and said, "Yes, he is Ji Xiaohui, a junior at the School of Translation and Translation. He is a member of our animation club. He likes cosplay and often plays animation roles."

Lan Yarong released another daily photo of Ji Xiaohui wearing men's clothing: "That is to say, the person who looked like a girl just now is actually Zou Yijia's roommate, Ji Xiaohui, who lives in Building 5, 105, Boys' Dormitory? "

Qi Xinyu nodded decisively: "Yes."

There was an uproar!

Yue Xingwen laid the groundwork for a long time just now, and the presiding judge and the audience were all at a loss.

Xie Xiangqin once participated in the comic exhibition, took a photo with a "beautiful girl" intimately, and held an exquisite figure given by the other party. What does this have to do with the murder of Xie Xiangqin?The public prosecutor objected that these issues had nothing to do with the case, and everyone felt the same way.

Until the next witness came out and confirmed - this is a boy.

It's a boy? !

On the big screen, on the left is a beautiful girl dressed like a porcelain doll, and on the right is a handsome boy in a white shirt. If you carefully distinguish between the eyebrows and eyes, you can indeed see that they are the same person.The contrast of such pictures was too sharp, there was a burst of discussion in the auditorium, and the onlookers were dumbfounded, and the presiding judge had to pick up the hammer to knock down again: "Silence!"

The place quieted down.

Lan Yarong smiled and asked: "Ji Xiaohui likes to dress up as a man, and he often wears women's clothes in cosplay. It doesn't feel out of place. Except for the people in your animation agency, it is difficult for ordinary people to recognize him as a boy, right? "

Qi Xinyu said: "That's right, he is the most powerful figure in women's clothing in our animation agency, and we girls are all ashamed of himself. When he wears women's clothing, unless he is a very familiar person, most people can't tell."

The audience: "..."

******

【Innocence Defense-18】

Women's dress boss, this word is like a thunderbolt thrown into the lake, making the already suspicious case even more complicated.Even the public prosecutor frowned at this time, and stopped raising objections, as if he wanted to listen.

Lan Yarong continued to ask: "In the photo, the comic exhibition where Xie Xiangqin and Ji Xiaohui took a group photo is the Beishan City Firefly Comic Exhibition held at the Chengnan Convention and Exhibition Center on May 5 this year?"

As the president of the animation club, Qi Xinyu can tell the environment of this photo at a glance, and immediately said: "That's right, Beishan City holds a firefly comic exhibition every May [-]st, and Ji Xiaohui often goes to comics to exhibit various characters." Cos."

"Xie Xiangqin is a classmate of your law school. How is her private relationship with Ji Xiaohui?"

"I don't know about this. All I know is that Xie Xiangqin and Zou Yijia are boyfriend and girlfriend, and they seem to have a good relationship. She never mentioned Ji Xiaohui to us, and Ji Xiaohui never mentioned that he knew Xie Xiangqin."

"On the weekend of October 10th to 25th, the law school's beach barbecue event, you are the initiator, right?"

"Yes, it's a party initiated by our student union."

"Why didn't Xie Xiangqin participate?"

"She said she was not feeling well, so she didn't sign up."

Lan Yarong smiled and nodded: "Thank you for your answer. Please let the judge allow us to call the next witness."

Onlookers: "..."

There are too many witnesses for the defense, one after another?

The presiding judge motioned for the staff to open the door.The next person who appeared was the dormitory auntie in Building 6 of the girls' dormitory.Lan Yarong returned to the defense seat, and Yue Xingwen immediately replaced her, and continued to ask along the topic just now: "Hi, may I ask, are you the dormitory supervisor in Building 6 of the female dormitory of Beishan University?"

Aunt said: "Yes."

Yue Xingwen: "How long have you been a supervisor in Building 6?"

Aunt: "Less than a year." "Then can you recognize all the girls in Building 6?"

"This..." The aunt hesitated before answering: "Building No. 6 has 10 floors in total, and each floor has 30 dormitories. There are thousands of people living in the whole building. I can't name every girl, but everyone Parts are still recognizable."

Yue Xingwen nodded to Lin Manluo, and Senior Sister Lin immediately released a photo of Ji Xiaohui in everyday women's clothing: "Have you seen this 'girl'?" He deliberately emphasized the word "girl".

The dormitory aunt said without hesitation: "Yes."

There was a neat gasp from the auditorium, and the onlookers widened their eyes in surprise.Even the public prosecutor frowned, looking at the photo in disbelief.

Yue Xingwen continued to ask: "Does she often go in and out of the girls' dormitory?"

The aunt thought for a while and said: "There are too many people, I don't pay attention, but she has a habit of always coming back late and going out early on weekends. Once I stopped her and asked her why she went, she said I work outside, so I come back late."

"On October 10, from 26:4 to 5:6 in the morning, who has entered and exited the dormitory in Building [-], do you still have any memory?"

The aunt shook her head in embarrassment: "I was sleeping at the time, and I didn't know what happened. I was woken up by screams."

"That is to say, during the period when Xie Xiangqin was murdered, you didn't know who had entered or left the dormitory building? At that time, the access control system of the dormitory building was broken, and the door could be opened with a light push, right?"

Auntie lowered her head, very ashamed: "Yes, my work is indeed a bit negligent, I have already written a review..."

Yue Xingwen: "Thank you for your answer."

He looked closely at the presiding judge and said, "The next witness is invited."

Next came Zhang Bin, a boy from dormitory 105.

The boy looked a little dazed. He didn't know what happened in the courtroom, and he didn't understand why he had to appear in court to testify for Xie Xiangqin's case. He originally thought that the lawyer would ask questions about the relationship between Zou Yijia and Xie Xiangqin. He opened his mouth and asked, "Is Ji Xiaohui your roommate?"

Zhang Bin froze for a moment: "Yes."

Yue Xingwen: "Did you know that he joined the animation club and likes cosplay women's clothing, is he a master of women's clothing?"

Zhang Bin looked shocked: "Women's clothing? I don't know! I only heard that he joined the animation club, but I have never seen him wearing women's clothing."

"Is he good at playing games?"

"That's right, he is the most powerful person in our dormitory."

"Xie Xiangqin is Zou Yijia's girlfriend. At Zou Yijia's request, you often take Xie Xiangqin to play games. Because of this, Xie Xiangqin got to know the three of you and added everyone as friends in private, right?"

"That's right, she's good at playing games, and the four of us usually take her with her."

"On May 5, you played games with your roommates Zhong Jian and Zou Yijia at school all day long?"

"It seems so..." He scratched his head and thought for a moment, then confirmed, "That's right, it happened to be the beginning of the season, and the three of us played ranked together for a whole day in order to advance to the stage."

"Ji Xiaohui wasn't in the dormitory that day?"

"He said he had something to do, as if he was going to some comic exhibition."

"Did Zou Yijia mention what his girlfriend was doing that day?"

"Oh, he said, his girlfriend went to the movies with his best friend, so we don't need to take it with us, the three of us will play ranking together."

Yue Xingwen released an intimate group photo of Xie Xiangqin and Ji Xiaohui holding hands on May 5st.

"Can you recognize this is your roommate Ji Xiaohui?"

"...This girl, girl?" Zhang Bin was stunned, his mouth wide enough to swallow an egg, and he said in shock, "Wait, isn't Xie Xiangqin going to the movies?" Why are you with Ji Xiaohui, Zou Yijia was cuckolded?"

His subconscious reaction made the audience finally understand the irrationality!

Xie Xiangqin told her boyfriend that she went to see a movie, and it turned out to be at the comic exhibition. On the same day, Ji Xiaohui also appeared in the comic exhibition in disguise. It's actually a man. Isn't it too much for a man and a woman to hold hands and take pictures? !

What's even more frightening is that the auntie of the dormitory confirmed that Ji Xiaohui, who "disguised himself as a woman", came home late many times on weekends!

Entered the girls' dormitory many times!

A man wearing women's clothing and entering the girls' dormitory, since everyone doesn't know he is a man, they won't be wary of him. If he secretly took pictures of girls taking a shower...it's unimaginable.

Yue Xingwen signaled him to adjust his mood, and then asked: "On September 9th, you lost because of Xie Xiangqin's mistake while playing the game. Did Zou Yijia have a fierce quarrel with Xie Xiangqin?"

Zhang Bin recovered from the shock of "one roommate dressed as a woman" and "another roommate was cuckolded", nodded, and said in a stiff tone: "Yes, he had a bad complexion that day, and he took his mobile phone to the corridor outside to talk to him. Xie Xiangqin called for a long time, and his voice sounded fierce, it must have been a quarrel. After returning to the dormitory, he told us that we don't need to bring Xie Xiangqin with us in the future."

Yue Xingwen nodded to him, and continued: "Please bring out the last witness."

Witnesses appeared in court one after another, and from their dictation, the doubts of Xie Xiangqin's case became more and more serious.

until the last one comes out.

The bearded uncle smiled brightly, Yue Xingwen asked directly: "You are the owner of the hardware store in front of the school, have you seen this person come to distribute the keys?"

A group photo of Xie Xiangqin and Zou Yijia appeared on the screen.

The boss nodded: "That's right, this young couple has come to my store to get a key. The girl complained that her boyfriend lost her dormitory key and asked me to get a new one."

"At that time, what was her boyfriend's reaction?"

"Apologize to the side, saying that he was wrong, go back and look for it, maybe it was left in the dormitory when changing clothes; the girl said impatiently, don't look for it, and make another one."

"You gave them a new key and gave it to this girl?"

"Yes, 10 yuan a bunch."

Yue Xingwen nodded: "Judge, my questioning is over."

The witnesses left, and the audience was silent.

Zhu Xiaoting's tears kept rolling in her eyes, and she tried her best not to shed them.

The prosecutor frowned, as if sorting out the logic.

Yue Xingwen looked at the presiding judge, and said seriously and seriously: "My client Zhu Xiaoting is not the only suspect in the case of Xie Xiangqin in the 703 dormitory. The key to the 703 dormitory has been lost, and Zou Yijia and Ji Xiaohui may have it in their hands." holding this key; Zou Yijia and Xie Xiangqin had a fierce quarrel, and mentioned words such as suspicion and not wanting to explain, which showed that there was a deep misunderstanding between the two. Ji Xiaohui and Xie Xiangqin were close. Xie Xiangqin's expensive figure; Ji Xiaohui's mother is a medical student, he probably understands the structure of the human body, and managed to pierce the heart artery with a single knife. After detailed investigation, we believe that Zhu Xiaoting was framed, and the murderer in this case was another There are people."

"The legal net is wide open, and it is not missing. We believe that the law will definitely give justice to the innocent!"
