I beg you to give me a way to live

Mu Cisu went back on the morning of the day of the trial.Because of the addition of new evidence and testimonies, and the application for joining the case from Yin Yan and Lu Xiao, he stayed in Yanjing for an extra night to sort out the materials needed for the trial and prepare to submit them after the trial.

But even though the time was a bit rushed, Mu Cisu was not nervous, and the arrangements were well organized.This case was his biggest regret in his last life, so that after getting the face-slapping system, Mu Cisu didn't know how many times he simulated the situation after the trial in the moot court of the face-slapping system.Therefore, even if the Yu family has the ability to invite the best lawyer in China, Mu Cisu can still beat him during the trial!

At eight o'clock in the morning, when Mu Cisu arrived at the gate of the court, Josie's family was ready.As for Lu Xiao's family, they were standing not far from them.Yin Yan's body is not yet ready to go to court, so Mu Cisu didn't let him come.

"Are you scared? If you're worried, you don't need to appear in court." Walking to Josie's side, Mu Cisu looked down at the little girl who had lost a lot of weight recently.

However, this time, Josie raised her head and smiled at Mu Cisu, "No, with Brother Mu here, I'm not afraid of anything."

"Good girl." Mu Cisu patted her head, and then explained to her again the matters needing attention in the court session.

"You must remain calm during the trial. You can not say what you don't want to say, including the questioning of the opposing lawyer, and you can keep silent if you don't want to answer. Relax, I have everything."

"Yeah." Josie nodded and actively followed behind Mu Cisu.

She has nothing to fear.

At nine o'clock, the clerk arrived on time and began to make preparations for the trial.Mostly because of Mu Cisu's disqualification from studying abroad before, Yu Meiqian's family came to the court hearing this time.

"Keep calm." Worrying about Josie losing her composure, Mu Cisu patted her on the shoulder.

"..." Josie nodded reluctantly, but her perpetrator was right in front of her, and her face was still pale.

Soon, the judge and jurors entered the courtroom.Mu Cisu looked up and was a little surprised.

Whether it was an accident or a coincidence, two of the three jurors were women.And the judges themselves are women.

Generally speaking, in cases involving children and women's issues, women will have a natural sense of identity and empathy. Of course, as jurors and judges, they will still follow the rules of law to rule, but from an emotional point of view, there will be some Biased.

Therefore, it is a small advantage for women or children.If it is placed in country M, the defendant or the plaintiff who feels that his rights and interests have been damaged can request a new trial.But it is not used in China.

But even so, such a combination still has advantages and disadvantages for Mu Cisu, because the defendant Yu Meiqian is also a child.The rest depends on him and that lawyer Yu, who can get a higher emotional path during the trial.

The court officially opened.

Since the evidence was exchanged before, the claims, reasons, and the process of presenting the evidence were all mentioned in one sentence.At the same time, the focus of the trial has come—the defendant's lawyer will refute the facts and reasons put forward by the plaintiff and present his own evidence.

The first point of Yu's lawyer's rebuttal was whether Josie had ever suffered school violence.

His first witness was Josie's head teacher.

"How long have you been teaching this class?" Lawyer Yu's family obviously came prepared, and the tone of the question was also confident.As for Josie's class teacher, she didn't have any timidity, and seemed very frank.

"It's been a year, and I've been taking them from the time they've been in high school."

"You see these students every day, don't you?"

"Yes."

"Then do these students of yours trust you?"

"Of course you trust me."

It seems that there are three useless questions, but this is a court trial, and as the defendant's lawyer, he cannot do useless work.Sure enough, the next second, the point came.

"Then did you see Yu Meiqian and the others bullying Josie during your teaching?"

"No, I've never seen one."

"So you're sure Josie never suffered school violence, right?"

"Correct!"

The teacher in charge spoke convincingly, but Josie's eyes widened in disbelief.This is clearly nonsense!Yu Meiqian and the others did not do anything in front of the class teacher, but the injuries on her body were real, and it was also true that she was often forced to skip classes. Why can the teacher pretend that nothing happened?

But until the stage of their appeal, she could only hold back.

As for the lawyer of the Yu family, he didn't care about Josie's reaction.He then asked the class teacher, "I have read the testimony you provided before, saying that the plaintiff's lawyer called you on the day the plaintiff committed suicide, right?"

"Yes. Around three o'clock in the afternoon and almost four o'clock in the afternoon, he suddenly said that Josie was going to commit suicide, but Josie was not at school at the time, so I was transferred to the boarding house."

"But according to your testimony, the plaintiff personally asked you for leave that morning?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure the plaintiff was not coerced?"

"no"

"I'm done asking." Yu's lawyer said that his questioning was over.

But this seemingly useless question made both judges and jurors doubtful.The teachers who get along day and night don't know that Josie is going to commit suicide, so why Mu Cisu, who is thousands of miles away, can not serve the prophet.

But Mu Cisu was very calm. After all, such questioning skills were not a big trouble for him.

After asking the judge, he stood up and asked the teacher the first question, "I want to ask you, did my client ask you for help during school?"

The teacher nodded, "Yes, but that's not..." Just kidding?She wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Su Sheng Mu Ci.

"There are people who ask for help, and they ask for help because of violence, right!"

"Yes..." The homeroom teacher nodded slowly, feeling that Mu Cisu's question was a bit delicate.

"So you don't pay attention to it?"

"It's not that I didn't pay attention, it's because it's all..."

"It's all slapstick?" Mu Cisu answered accurately. "You think my client was discriminated against because of his sensitivity caused by his family, not because he was bullied."

Teacher: "Yes. That's it."

"Then I have another question." Not entangled in the right or wrong of the teacher's words, Mu Cisu directly opened a new inquiry, "I have investigated, and you have been representing the graduating class before. The salary of the graduating class teacher It is incomparable with the first year of senior high school. And you seem to have been expected to be selected as the leader of the grade, what caused you to be sent back to the first year of senior high school?"

"It's because of personal choice..."

"Isn't it because of your fault? A year ago, a boy in the second class of the third year of high school committed suicide, which caused you to lose your qualification for promotion, and you had to take the blame and retreat to the first year of high school."

suicide?Mu Cisu's words stunned the jury, including the judge.As for Josie, she was even more surprised, because she had been in the class teacher's hands for a year and had never heard of it.

"This is the evidence I found recently." Mu Cisu handed a folder to the clerk, "I found the students in Class [-], Grade [-], and they told me that the boy's last words were 'I don't want to go to school anymore. '."

"Of course, the child didn't die at the school. The school doesn't seem to be responsible, but looking at this last statement, you, as the class teacher, can't give any explanation. Isn't this a kind of dereliction of duty in disguise?"

Lawyer Yu's heart suddenly raised his hand and stood up, trying to interrupt Mu Cisu's questioning, "Your Excellency, I don't think these questions are related to this case."

Mu Cisu: "Related! These two cases seem to be unrelated, but in fact they are closely related, because the last boy's suicide happened to prove that the witness is not responsible as a teacher. How can the testimony of an irresponsible teacher be completely trusted? and adopted?"

Judge: "The objection is invalid."

very good!Staring into the head teacher's eyes, Mu Cisu then finished the rest of the sentence, "If you were a normal person, after a bloody incident, you would definitely be very careful in your work later on. But you have nothing to fear, because the relationship between you and the principal .Excuse me, can I ask how you got hired?"

"Of course it's a normal application." The head teacher's forehead began to ooze sweat.

"But you can't find your teacher qualification certificate at all on the teacher's website. Judges, members of the jury, please read this."

It is a recruitment letter from an international school.It clearly states that the prerequisite for international schools to recruit teachers is to have a teacher qualification certificate.

"So how did you get into the school and even be sent to teach the most critical graduating class without a teacher qualification certificate?"

"I……"

"I'll finish it for you, relying on connections, right?"

"Recommended by favor, so you are unscrupulous because you have a back door. Out of jealousy for those colleagues who come from ordinary families but can become regular employees, you also put colored glasses on students with such special circumstances in the class."

"Nonsense!" When the fig leaf was removed in public, the teacher blushed instantly.

"Children are hard to manage now, especially those who are specially recruited like Josie. A class is all from well-off families. They can neither participate in group activities, nor lack language. They are not from the same world. They are forced to be placed in a world. , what can I do as a teacher? Is it my fault?"

"Whether it's your fault or not is up to the court to decide. Let me ask you, do you remember how many times Josie came to you since the school violence broke out?"

"me……"

"Let me tell you that she came to you for the first time on x month x, xx, because she was insulted."

"On x month x, xx, she came to you for the second time. Because she was beaten, Yu Meiqian, who was in the same dormitory, forced Josie to kneel down for them, and indeed made her kneel down."

"On x month x, xx, she came to you for the third time, because a boy deliberately peeked at her changing clothes, and tried to moles her during swimming class."

"On x month x, xx, she came to you for the fourth time, because the things her parents sent in her dormitory were thrown out, and she was kicked out of the dormitory. Yu Meiqian told her to put on a collar and stay in the dormitory. Be a dog, or get out."

"On x month x, xx, she came to you for the fifth time... and the sixth time, before she committed suicide on the rooftop. She was stripped and nude photos were taken. Don't threaten if you don't take the initiative to have sex with multiple men Because of the relationship, Yu Meiqian and the others are going to spread her nude photos."

"My client tells the truth every time, you didn't pay attention to it!"

"I don't care, because she just said it with her mouth. No one can prove what happened, and she can't show any evidence. How can I suspect other students with empty words?" The head teacher is also anxious, " What's more, they are all children, how can children be so vicious?"

"Yeah, how can a child be so vicious, then why can you be so irresponsible? Six times, six times! Please tell me, are these all jokes?"

Mu Cisu's words caused an uproar in the audience.The judge frowned too.

The situation turned around in an instant.The lawyer on the opposite side clenched the pen in his hand and tried to remain calm.

It was beyond his expectation.Mu Cisu looks young and looks like a starlet, but his style is very sharp, like a sharp knife, hitting the nail on the head.

Fortunately, he still has a backup.Soon after the head teacher left, the second witness also came up, who was Josie's attending doctor during the first aid.

"I want to ask you, is Josie still a virgin?"

"Yes."

"That means no one forced her to have sex, right?"

"Yes!" The doctor confirmed.

Lawyer Yu's family immediately asked to show a video in court, which was a classmate of Josie's class.

"We don't play with Josie, but no one bullies him. This kind of girl cries and makes trouble every day, which especially affects the peace of the class."

"That's right, she always said that others scolded him or beat him. We usually play around like this. She is the only one who is precious, and she can't do it just by touching her."

Nonsense!Josie's face suddenly turned pale.However, what the Yu family lawyer said later was even worse.

"Here are 33 testimonies from all the students in the plaintiff's class. We have obtained the consent of the guardian, and each student's testimony record has undergone a professional polygraph test. In order to prove their confession is true."

"At the same time, I obtained a psychiatric evaluation of the plaintiff from the plaintiff's hospital."

Josie looked up abruptly.Mu Cisu held her hand and shook his head, signaling her to calm down.

Witness 3 appeared in court and was the attending physician of Josie's psychiatry.

"Excuse me, are you the plaintiff's attending doctor?"

"Correct."

"Is the plaintiff suffering from deep depression with mild delusions?"

"Correct."

"Then let me make a hypothesis. If she was suffering from self-abuse during the illness, and after she woke up, imagined that the wounds on her body were caused by bullying?"

"It's possible from a medical point of view, but..." The doctor wanted to say that the wounds of self-abuse are different from those of being bullied, but the lawyer didn't give him a chance to explain.

"That is to say, from your doctor's point of view, it's entirely possible that everything she's talking about is her fantasy, not the truth, right?"

"Because he's a psychopath, right?"

"……Correct."

"Very good, I'm done asking." After the Yu family's lawyer finished speaking, he returned to his seat and sat down.

And with the end of his question, Yu Meiqian in the dock was also full of pride, she felt that she was bound to win this lawsuit.

The lunatic's words cannot be taken seriously, as long as she can completely deny that Josie has been bullied by the school, she will win.

"Does the defense lawyer have anything else to say?" the judge asked in a relationship.

Mu Cisu stood up, he sighed and took out the second document, "I want to refute the defendant's lawyer's speculation."

"I can prove that my client is not delusional. Your Honor, I apply for new evidence."

"agree."

Mu Cisu submitted today's second folder, and this folder shocked everyone.

It's a picture of the scars on the wrists that Josie took when she met Mu Cisu for the first time.At the same time, in the other two injury reports, Yin Yan and Lu Xiao's hands also had the same scars as Josie's.

"Two years ago, my client was still studying in the county seat and had never been to the provincial capital. Excuse me, if she just fantasized about being bullied, why did the three of them have the same scars on their hands?"

"In addition, since there is a doctor here, I also want to ask one more question. The basic principle of polygraph testing is that the person under the polygraph test believes that he has not lied, right?"

"Correct."

"So from your point of view, are these children telling the truth?"

"Correct!"

The question of Mu Cisu confused many people.The opposing lawyer subconsciously frowned, feeling that something might be wrong.How could Mu Cisu speak for them?

as predicted.

"And what if they don't think their bullying is bullying?"

Mu Cisu's voice is not loud, but every word is so loud that it makes people feel cold all over.

The author has something to say:

Josie: People who bully me all have angelic faces.
