Chapter 183 No Clues, Lan Gaojian's Prologue

Thursday afternoon.

Blacksmith Technology Building.

Research and development department, a conference room.

After Zhang Wei participated in the preliminary review, he came to Blacksmith Technology to report to Zhao Qingyan.

The latter also went out to do errands, and just returned here, and began to exchange details of the case with Zhang Wei.

"Xiao Zhang, how is the court situation?"

"The preliminary trial has just ended today. The situation can only be said to be not very good. Both the prosecution and the media want to convict Fang Yunshu as soon as possible. In their eyes, she is a murderer."

"The attitude of the prosecution is also clear, life imprisonment; after the preliminary trial, they did not come to discuss with me an agreement to plead guilty as soon as possible."

Hearing Zhang Wei's explanation, Zhao Qingyan's eyes were solemn.

"Uncle Zhao, what about you, look at your appearance..."

"I have to say, Ah Xiang's technique is really amazing!"

Hearing what Zhao Qingyan said, Zhang Wei knew it.

Fang Yunshu mentioned that Zhao Qingyan is a comprehensive talent, but Zeng Xiang specializes in one, obviously the latter's skill in this certain field exceeds Zhao Qingyan's level.

"Ah Xiang's intrusion method can be said to be flawless, and there is no trace of forced intrusion in the background of the security system. The only thing I can find is that the system parameters for a few days are different from usual, but these are not enough to prove The system has been hacked!"

"Uncle Zhao, you can't prove it. Doesn't it mean that there is no one in this world who can prove it?"

Zhao Qingyan opened his mouth, but still nodded helplessly, "You are right, to prove that the system has been hacked, judging from the current clues, it is difficult to prove it, at least in Xiaofang's home, there is no way to prove it of."

"If you want to prove that Axiang hacked the system, you must find his computer and find the log of Axiang hacking the system from it!"

To prove that someone has done something, in addition to having a complete record, the only option is someone's own admission.

Since the record of the hacked system was touched by Zeng Xiang and no trace was left, the only way to find Zeng Xiang's computer is to find a new proof on the computer.

"I remember that people from Wuxia Chaco went to Zeng Xiang's residence. If they found the log of the hacking system, they should put it in the public evidence, right?"

Zhang Wei carefully recalled that there seemed to be zero records on this aspect in the public evidence.

"There are many possibilities, either Zeng Xiang's computer, the investigation department did not investigate carefully, as you once said, the blind detective, the investigation department may selectively ignore the evidence that is not conducive to its own results."

"Or, Ah Xiang's computer is equipped with a powerful secret system, and the investigation department has no way to bypass the system, and can only see some appearances!"

"Or, Ah Xiang hid a second computer, a second system somewhere, and the investigation department did not find relevant records!"

Zhao Qingyan conjectured that Zhang Wei was not a relevant technician and could not express his opinion.

And these doubts need further evidence to verify, otherwise there is no way to prove that Zeng Xiang did those things.

"Uncle Zhao, what you're talking about is speculation. The evidence is at Wuxie Chaco's place. How are you going to investigate?"

"Don't worry about this, I have a solution in the investigation department, but if I can't find the log of the hacking system on Axiang's computer, then there is no way to prove that Axiang threatened Xiaofang's personal safety, what's wrong with that?" What to do?"

"Then I will raise reasonable doubts. Anyway, Zeng Xiang is a computer expert. The employees of his studio can also testify. The jury may consider this possibility!"

Zhang Wei said, but raised a finger, "The most difficult problem now is to make the jurors change their views on our client. There is no way to deny her killing her ex-husband in the street."

"Yeah, killing people on the spot, there is really no way to change that!"

Zhao Qingyan also sighed, a little helpless.

"Okay, Xiao Zhang, I'm going to apply to the martial arts association for evidence investigation, you should go back first!"

"Okay, Uncle Zhao, please let me know if you have any results!"

Since Zhao Qingyan is busy, Zhang Wei can only leave.

After the two separated, Zhao Qingyan made several phone calls, and then obtained the authority to investigate the evidence.

He went straight to the investigation department and started investigating Zeng Xiang's computer.

And Zhang Wei returned to the law firm and began to study the countermeasures of this case and how the prosecution would launch an attack.

This research is at night.

...

In the evening, at the gate of Zhao Mansion.

After a busy day, Zhao Qingyan was explaining the situation to Zhang Wei.

"Xiao Zhang, I checked Ah Xiang's computer and found no hidden system. His computer is very clean, not to mention hackers, not even a game!"

"Then I went to his studio and checked all the computers of the R&D staff, and found no trace of hacking into Xiaofang's home. There was nothing wrong with their work logs. It can be said that there is no trace at all!"

"In the end, I went to Ah Xiang's house. Although I knew that the investigation department had searched many times, I still came to take a look in person. Unfortunately, the results were not good..."

Seeing Zhao Qingyan shaking his head, Zhang Wei knew that the result of the investigation was not satisfactory.

"The studio where Zeng Xiang works, and the place where he lives, are these the only two places?"

Zhang Wei made a guess.

"About this point, I have also investigated. Ah Xiang has no relatives in the East, and I have also searched his account. There is no record of purchasing other properties."

"This, isn't it unsolvable?"

Neither Zhang Wei nor Zhao Qingyan looked very good.

They had no way to prove that Zeng Xiang had hacked Fang Yunshu's home security system, and naturally it was difficult to prove that Zeng Xiang was following Fang Yunshu or that Fang Yunshu had evil intentions.

"Don't be afraid, Uncle Zhao, I can prove this in court, but without substantive evidence, the effect of my means of corroboration will be greatly reduced!"

Zhang Wei comforted Zhao Qingyan, since there were no new clues, he could only leave.

After returning to the Lin Mansion again, Zhang Wei went to the second floor and knocked on the closed door of the room.

"What are you doing? Didn't you just have dinner, and it's already morning?"

There was a crack in the door, and inside was Zhao Xiaoxiao's dissatisfied expression.

"Xiao Zhao, I have a few questions to ask you..."

Hearing Zhang Wei calling herself Xiao Zhao instead of the second daughter, Zhao Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, already knowing it in her heart.

When there is something to do, it is Xiao Zhao, and when there is nothing to do, it is the second girl, right?

"Do you think there is a possibility that Zeng Xiang hid computers and servers in other places, but unfortunately no one found them. He used this system to hack the security system of your auntie's house..."

"Stop stop!"

Hearing what Zhang Wei said about the case, Zhao Xiaoxiao quickly waved her hands, "It's impossible. Although the guy next door has no other skills, he is professional in research technology!"

"Since he can't find it, then there really isn't one!"

"You are so confident in your father?"

"Hmph, that's because you underestimated his methods. You really thought he went to investigate alone. I don't need to go to the scene to know. He must have sent investigators from blacksmith technology to act together?"

"It's true what you said. Uncle Zhao has a very high position in Blacksmith Technology. It doesn't seem to be a big problem to send two investigators to act together!"

Now that Zhao Xiaoxiao has said so, there is really no solution.

After all, the investigators of blacksmith technology are not ordinary people. If they can't find any clues, then there is nothing wrong with it.

"Fine……"

Zhang Wei was even more disappointed. No one could find any clues, so there was only one possibility.

Fang Yunshu is lying!

But he also communicated with Fang Yunshu, and the other party didn't seem to be lying, and the other party's trance-like appearance didn't seem to be pretending either.

Now, Zhang Wei is in a difficult situation.

Seeing that Zhang Wei didn't ask any questions, Zhao Xiaoxiao closed the door of the room, and the conversation between the two ended.

Zhang Wei kept thinking until midnight, but unfortunately he still didn't have a good coping strategy.

The night passed like this...

...

Friday, court day.

Today is the public prosecution day, the day when Fang Yunshu's murder of Zeng Xiang will be heard publicly.

This case had a great impact, and media reporters had already written countless reports to broadcast the matter.

For several days in a row, it dominated the headlines of the Oriental Metropolis Daily, and the media attention was unprecedentedly high.

Even many people are discussing this matter after gossip.

After media exaggeration and reports, Fang Yunshu, as the suspect in this case, has become a murderer who killed her ex-husband in the street.

And some videos of the scene that day were also leaked from some unknown channels.

Although the Dongfang Metropolis News Agency and the District Prosecutor's Office issued an announcement stating that the video was not authentic, the media did not care about it.

Relying on the power of titles and words, they made a big splash, not caring whether Fang Yunshu was innocent or not, and portrayed Fang Yunshu as a female devil.

Many new media workers even started posting so-called videos interviewing Fang Yunshu's family, Fang Yunshu's ex-boyfriend, Fang Yunshu's lover, etc., defrauding countless hits.

Anyway, in the eyes of these unscrupulous media people, the name Fang Yunshu represented traffic and enthusiasm.

And traffic and popularity mean that there is money to be made, so they don't care how Fang Yunshu is doing, as long as they can make money.

No, Zhang Wei came to the city court early in the morning and was watching a video from the media.

The title of the video is "Only broadcast on the whole network, interviewing the parents of Fang Yunshu, the murderer of her husband!" "

"Regret, I can only say that I am very regretful, I regret having such a daughter..."

In the video, a pair of parents revealed their true feelings and were interviewed by reporters with tears in their eyes.

"Good guy, it's so hot, if you find two extras at random, you'd dare to impersonate them, right?"

Looking at the two actors who played Fang Yunshu's parents in the video, Zhang Wei was speechless.

Fang Yunshu's mother died early, and his father suffered from Alzheimer's disease. He couldn't speak well, and he was still living in a nursing home.

In order to gain attention, the media dared to do anything. They invited two actors at random, and dared to claim to be Fang Yunshu's parents to be interviewed.

The key point is that the popularity of this video is still extremely high, and it has received millions of hits in just one day after it was released.

Also because Zhang Wei has watched this video, similar content appeared in the link at the back of the video.

"Exclusive broadcast on the whole network, interview with Fang Yunshu's ex-boyfriend! ", "First broadcast on the whole network, Fang Yunshu confesses! ", "Desperate Live Broadcast, I am the first reporter on the entire network to interview Murder Fang Yunshu! "...

Seeing these videos that are obviously cheating traffic and clicks, Zhang Wei is too lazy to complain.

His clients are all locked up in the detention center. How did you media interview her?

Zhang Wei shook his head, crossed out these unscrupulous media reports, and then went directly to the court.

What should be said was said yesterday, and he didn't bother to deal with the media, so he might as well go directly to the court and wait.

When he arrived at the court, he saw that Zhao Qingyan had arrived in the front row of the hearing booth.

The two nodded to each other, everything was silent.

"Master, we are here to cheer you on!"

Also in the front row of the hearing stand, Lin Yumeng and Tie Ruyun were also present, but Li Yueqin was not there.

"Xiao Li is busy recently?"

"Yeah, she's been working hard lately, and she's busy with cases until late every day!"

Seeing Zhang Wei's question, Lin Yumeng answered immediately.

"Li Yueqin has been busy with a case recently, maybe she also wants to make a big deal!"

Tie Ruyun also immediately chimed in, "By the way, she asked me to tell you that she also wanted to come to support you, but it happened that the client had an appointment to meet on Friday, and she couldn't help it!"

"Since there are cases, it's understandable!" Zhang Wei smiled.

It's a good thing to be busy with a case.

As he spoke, he exchanged pleasantries with Lao Tie and Xiao Meng, and then sat on the defense bench.

Not long after, there was a commotion outside the courtroom, obviously some heavyweights had arrived.

The door of the court was pushed open, and the local prosecutor's headquarters headed by Zhao Chunming arrived again.

The local prosecutor's headquarters will send a large number of people every time, and casual reporters can hardly get close to them.

It was the same this time. More than 20 people walked into the courtroom and sat in the front of the hearing booth full of aura, occupying a large space.

Many of the young prosecutors even took out their notebooks, obviously intending to learn the court trial skills of Lan Gao.

Seeing such a big battle at the local prosecutor's headquarters, Zhang Wei was speechless for a while.

Look at others, and then look at yourself.

Even if you add Zhao Qingyan and your friends in the same group to the hearing, there are only three people.

3 vs 20+, you lose in terms of momentum.

Prosecutor Lan Gao arrived at the court a little later than Zhao Chunming and others. He walked past the reporters before entering the court.

Behind him is tool man Zhao Jing, carrying a briefcase and folder, following behind.

Obviously, they arrived late because they had to deal with the media. Lan Zhengye obviously did it himself, and did not let the new prosecutor deal with the media's questions.

"Very confident!"

Seeing Lan Zhengye's demeanor and how he dealt with the media calmly, Zhang Wei knew that the other party had decided on him.

Next, Fang Yunshu also arrived at the court under the escort of the field.

Zhang Wei whispered to his ear, and secretly ordered a few words, and Fang Yunshu also nodded seriously.

Time passed quickly in everyone's waiting place.

"stand up!"

Following the court guard's announcement, the judge entered the arena.

Everyone stood up, and Zhang Wei smiled at the clerk on the judge's side.

"Good boy, you still have time to smile at me, right?"

Li Qinghua looked at Zhang Wei, who was smiling at her, with unfriendly eyes and indifferent expression.

"Mother-in-law, what's the matter? You don't look right in my eyes. I just want to say hello to you. Do you need to make a bad face for me?"

Zhang Wei also muttered in his heart, feeling a little helpless.

Did the mother-in-law think that she wanted to build a relationship with the court clerk and then hook up with the judge?

Don't be funny, he, Zhang Wei, is not someone who knows how to play tricks.

"This court announces that the case of Zeng Xiang's murder is now going to a public trial, and the prosecution of this case is requested to prepare a court statement..."

As the judge announced, Lan Zhengye, as the prosecution, took the lead in court.

"Every juror, every audience in the hearing booth, in this sacred court, as the prosecution, I want to tell you one thing first, that is the known facts!"

Lan Zhengye raised a finger, and said: "Everyone knows, and also understands the fact that Fang Yunshu, the suspect on the defense bench, killed his ex-husband when witnesses saw him. Zeng Xiang, this is an indisputable fact!"

"Today is the day when this murder case will be tried publicly. As the prosecutor of this case, I must give the deceased Zeng Xiang justice here, and also condemn Fang Yunshu's murder!"

"I know the tactics of the defense. They will definitely attack the deceased Zeng Xiang and charge him with many trumped-up charges, such as whether he has ever harassed the defendant, whether he has followed the defendant, whether he has conspired against the defendant, or even threatened her life, etc. ..."

"But I want to make one point, which is obvious to everyone. When Zeng Xiang went to see the defendant, he didn't have any weapons on his body. He passed almost unarmed. He didn't pose any threat to the defendant. He might just want to meet a Meet my ex-wife."

"I would like to ask everyone, even if you are divorced, it shouldn't be unreasonable for you to see your ex-wife?"

What Lan Zhengye said was to make many people in the jury and hearing stand nod their heads.

"But what happened?"

Lan Zhengye then shrugged his shoulders, with a helpless expression on his face, "As far as we know, the one who welcomed Zeng Xiang was not greetings from his ex-wife, but six crossbow arrows and six deadly attacks!"

"The first one, you can say it's justifiable self-defense, just like what the defense said, the defendant's necessary means for his own safety!"

"How about the second, third, and subsequent fourth, fifth, or even sixth? What is this, another defense after a legitimate defense, or emergency avoidance?"

Lan Zhengye took a report from Zhao Jing, and said in an emphatic voice: "According to the autopsy report, the first arrow shot through Zeng Xiang's knee, and he was almost incapacitated, so he was dragged on the kitchen floor. of blood!"

"You can imagine how much pain a person who was shot in the knee had to endure the pain to crawl out of the hallway and out of the house in order to prevent his life from being threatened!"

Hearing this, the jury was not unimpressed, it was too tragic for Zeng Xiang before his death.

"But the defendant, the defendant did not give up the idea of ​​killing the victim, she even chased out with a weapon, and continued to attack an injured person, even if he begged for mercy, it was useless, the defendant still brutally killed him !"

Lan Zhengye pointed at Fang Yunshu, emphasizing every word.

"Fang Yunshu, that is, the defendant's behavior, in fact, is not a self-defense at all, but a unilateral murder. Please be clear to all jurors. Thank you!"

This is the prosecution's opening statement, sonorous and forceful, with every single word.

Prosecutor Lan Gao changed the tide of the court without even calling a single witness.

"I've done my homework, and I'm so well prepared for the court session."

Looking at Lan Zhengye who was walking back to his seat, Zhang Wei felt a bit of pressure!
