My days as a landlord in Gotham

(seven)

"If Mr. Li didn't poison Mr. Tangben, then the only one who can poison Mr. Tangben is himself."

Dr. Watson suddenly raised his head and said, "If a third person poisoned, how could he be sure that Mr. Li would pass the poisoned bottle of water to Mr. Domoto?

After all, this was a targeted homicide, not a random homicide. "

Watson's words surprised Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi, because they couldn't imagine why Domoto Ryoichi poisoned himself.

However, Watson didn't show off, but continued, "Of course, Mr. Domoto didn't poison himself on purpose, after all, judging from his mental outlook, he doesn't seem like a person who would commit suicide at will.

And according to the behavioral logic of ordinary suicides, most of them would choose to meet in unknown places rather than in a public meeting place.

And more importantly, according to the report we just got from the crime forensics department of the police station, the rapes were mainly concentrated on the palm of Mr. Domoto's left hand, the cap and mouth of the bottle of mineral water.

Therefore, we can draw a very direct evidence, that is, □□ was originally applied on the palm of Mr. Domoto’s left hand. Since Mr. Domoto is left-handed, when he opened the mineral water bottle, the compound would naturally be accidentally contaminated into the bottle. On the cap and bottle mouth.

Then through the oral intake of Mr. Domoto, Mr. Domoto will drink the meth and die from the poison.

Then, the most important point is, how did □□ get painted on Mr. Domoto's left hand? "

Speaking of this, the Red Queen projected the images captured by the surveillance equipment into the space.

Although Li Lei claimed to the police that there were only ordinary monitoring equipment in his office, in fact Hiroshi Hamada had installed a large number of high-definition day and night monitoring equipment on the first floor and outside the door.

The shooting angles of these devices are very tricky, which not only makes it difficult for ordinary people to find, but also ensures that the captured pictures have absolutely no dead ends.

After these images are synthesized by the red post, they become 3D holographic images.

"Wow, if we had such a device in our time, I think Holmes would be mad about it."

Watson exclaimed, "Pay attention to this detail,"

Along with Watson's speaking speed, the Red Queen also deliberately adjusted the playback speed of the projection screen, so that Domoto Ryoichi's movements and Watson's description were almost synchronized.

"He took a box of cigars out of his arms and took out one of the cigars.

However, he seemed to remember that Mr. Li hated smoking, so he put the cigar back into the box.

I am sure that at this moment, the criminal completed the action of poisoning.

It's a pity that I haven't seen the relevant report of the police station's inspection of the cigars, otherwise I would have been able to determine whether it was on the box or on the cigars. "

"In fact, modern technology can do more, especially the pictures taken with which equipment."

Hamada Hiroshi suddenly said, "Red Empress, conduct spectral analysis on the cigar box and cigars to determine where the □□ is located."

With Hamada Hiroshi's voice, the holographic screen turned into a green screen, while the cigar box was bright red.

"It appears that the culprits applied meth to the cigar boxes.

He knew very well that Domoto Ryoichi was keen to smoke a cigar at any time, and even if he couldn't poison Domoto to Ray in his office, he could kill Domoto while he was smoking.

Although this is not a random killing incident, it is definitely a random planting incident. "

Hamada Hiroshi finally spit out a small slot, "But the problem now is that even if we can have enough evidence to exonerate Lei, there is no way to provide this evidence to the police.

So, Ray, you've got to find some other way to exonerate yourself. "

Li Lei made a phone call and called Andre and Benjamin to his home.

Although it was almost early morning, it was the most tiring time of the day for a person.

But since receiving Li Lei's call, Andre and Benjamin have not shied away, and both said that they will come over as soon as possible.

After hanging up the phone, Li Lei not only admired his predecessor, but also how lucky and happy he was to be able to make a good friend who was willing to do anything for him in Gotham City, a place full of dragons and snakes.

"Lei, there must be something very important to call us here at this time, right?"

After Andre and Benjamin rushed over, Li Lei invited them to the living room.

Benjamin knew about Li Lei's current situation in the office, so he opened his mouth to ask after taking a sip of the double espresso coffee Li Lei brewed.

"I do have evidence to prove my innocence, but I have no way to provide this evidence to the police."

Li Lei played his surveillance video on the AppleTV in the living room.

The picture is very clear, coupled with deliberate editing, the truth is naturally clear at a glance.

However, as Li Lei said, there is no way to submit such evidence.

On the one hand, the court does not accept such edited evidence, and it is bound to require Li Lei to submit original materials.

However, the original material involves the transaction content between Li Lei and Tangben Group.

It means that he must give up the right to silence the entire videotape, which means that even if Li Lei can get away with murder, there will be a series of economic cases that need to be implicated in it.

On the other hand, most of Li Lei's major clients come from black or gray areas, and they don't want any evidence of their transactions.

If we let them know that Li Lei has surveillance footage, even if the former customers don't care about it, will there be any customers who will cooperate with Li Lei in the future?

No wonder Li Lei holds the key evidence but can't tell the truth. This is really painful.

"Can we justify that this tape was provided by an anonymous source?"

Andre suddenly made a suggestion.

"Are you mocking the IQ of the court?"

Benjamin sarcastically said, "This kind of videotape was shot with professional equipment at a very close range, even a child can deduce that the source of this videotape is in Lei's hands.

And even if the whole court is a fool and can believe your absurd and uninhibited reasons, the District Attorney's Office can also apply to the court to exclude this evidence on the grounds that the authenticity of the evidence is questionable due to the lack of original materials.

Believe me, this reason will be accepted by the court 100%. "

"Damn it, can we only start with 'reasonable doubt' now?"

Andre was a little frustrated.

In European and American courts, judges allow defenders to use "reasonable doubt"

defending the accused.

As long as the defender can raise a very reasonable point of doubt, and the plaintiff cannot eliminate this point of doubt, then the defendant can be exonerated.

To put it simply, even if there are countless evidences pointing to the fact that Simpson killed his wife, as long as the prosecution cannot prove that the key blood evidence at the scene belonged to Simpson, then Simpson's defenders can reasonably infer that there was a "non-existent person" at the scene. third party"

It is reasonable to suspect that a non-existent third party killed Simpson's wife.

As long as the prosecution cannot rule out this possibility, then it is possible that Simpson did not kill his wife, so the murder charge cannot be established.

Although this sounds very simple, it is very difficult in practice.

Because European and American courts adopt the jury system, most of the jurors are ordinary citizens, and ordinary citizens are more willing to trust the police and prosecutors emotionally.

So to convince them of the defender's "reasonable doubt"

Defenders need to work hard on logical speculation and evidence challenge.

Therefore, defense lawyers are unwilling to use "reasonable doubt" unless it is absolutely necessary.

This reason is to exonerate their customers.

"Actually, the District Prosecutor's Office has no direct evidence to prove that it was Li Lei who poisoned him, so Mr. District Prosecutor is also having a headache now."

Benjamin revealed a key piece of evidence, "Now we lack a rigorous chain of evidence, such as what is Ray's motive for killing?

Where did Lei buy his guns?

Where is the rest stored?

These are very critical pieces of evidence. As long as these pieces of evidence are not supplemented, I estimate that the chances of even prosecuting are very low in the end. "

"Hehe, but don't you know the way Gotham prosecutors and police do things?"

Andre finally seized an opportunity to taunt, "The prosecution can apply for a search warrant, and then they can 'search' out sex.

Maybe in order to better convict, some marijuana drugs can be found by the way.

Then the police found a sensible gangster from their detention center and claimed that Li Lei bought the drugs from him.

Look, isn't the chain of evidence complete?

As for the motive for the murder, just make up one.

They can even say that Lei and Mr. Domoto are good friends like crispy ducks, but Mr. Domoto needs to inherit the Domoto group and must break up with Lei, and then Lei kills Mr. Domoto because of love and hatred.

Look, minorities!

LGBTQ!

Love and Hatred!

Gang grudges!

I guess after Ray goes to prison, there should be producers in Hollywood who will come to discuss with Ray the adaptation of his story.

In another three years, the film will be released nationwide, and finally won an Oscar the following year.

At that time, Ray should be able to watch the live broadcast from the maximum security prison.

But the premise is that Ray was not killed or mutilated by the people in the prison at that time. "

For Andre's direct and violent complaints, Li Lei can only express that his little heart can't bear it.

"What I don't understand now is, why are you sure that the Gotham police and prosecutors insist on treating me as a criminal?"

"It's simple, you're Asian."

The two spoke almost in unison.

Then Benjamin added, "The deceased was an Asian. If the murderer was a white or other ethnic minority, it would inevitably lead to interracial conflicts. This is not what the Gotham City government wants to see.

Compared with the African-American and Hispanic like to stick together, your Asian community is the loosest.

Especially the Chinese behind you, they don't care about your life; and I believe, there must be a Chinese judge who will happily send you to the electric chair.

By the way, New Jersey has not completely abolished the death penalty. I thought you might have a chance to experience electrocution. "

"Ray, if I were you, I would contact your parents."

Andre, like Benjamin, knew Li Lei's personal situation very well.

"The current public opinion is very unfavorable to you, and your father is one of the biggest media giants in New England and even the entire East Coast, he can definitely raise the flag for you to save your personal image.

And your mother is a senior partner at Klein, Poole & Schmidt LLP in the Metropolitan area, and your mother is also one of the most famous criminal defense attorneys in the United States.

Compared to me, a half-assed person, your mother has even been to the Supreme Court. "

After traveling over, Li Lei knew that the original owner's parents were not ordinary people, but the reason why he didn't ask his parents for help was that Li Lei wasn't sure if he could hide the original owner's parents from them. They were the original owner's biological parents!
