Chapter 309 Tit for Tat

The first witness entered the court hearing on crutches with the support of the bailiff. His eyes were sunken and his body was thin, as if he had just suffered a serious illness.

This is a young man of about twenty years old, but he moves more like an old man in his fifties and sixties. He walks tremblingly and uses a cane and needs help.

After he entered the witness seat, Gou Changzheng picked up the document in his hand: "The plaintiff's first evidence is the witness Yu Bin, nicknamed Abin, who proved that Gao Jian entered Jianglong Villa on the night of the 11th and he was one of the witnesses at the scene. , is also one of the victims.”

I looked up and saw that I had some impression of this young man. Jiang Long asked him to go upstairs to see what was going on, but he happened to meet me after destroying the electric switch.

At that time, Ming Gui was standing behind me. He saw Ming Gui's true form, and the ghosts formed by countless black hairs frightened him silly.

Later, I let the fate ghost rob him of part of his vitality, but did not take his life.

At this time, Yu Bin was standing in the witness seat. His body had not fully recovered, and he was trembling and did not dare to raise his head. He did not say his name until the judge asked him.

But when I was identifying me, something unexpected happened at the scene. After Yu Bin and I looked at each other, we lost control of our emotions, as if we thought of something extremely scary, and the memory that we had finally forgotten came to our hearts again.

"Ghost! There is a ghost!" He pointed at me and shouted, in a daze: "The ghost is behind him! I saw it! I saw it!"

"Quiet!" Chen Haiyi struck the gavel, but Yu Bin's reaction was even more intense. He grabbed the bailiff beside him and said, "Let me out quickly! There is a ghost! There is a ghost!"

People in the auditorium were confused and talked about it. I was also a little puzzled: "He can see ghosts? But the ghost of fate has died in his place. What does this man mean by ghost?"

Yu Bin was in unstable condition and could not appear in court to testify. In desperation, Chen Haiyi had to ask the bailiff to take him away.

Gou Changzheng also looked a little embarrassed, and the look he looked at me became even more unfriendly.

"Didn't you already prepare your lines before coming up? Why did you suddenly fall ill?"

Gou Changzheng was muttering in a low voice, and Jiang Chen on the side lowered his head slightly: "Be careful, that Gao Jian is a little evil."

After clearing his throat, Gou Changzheng brought out the second piece of evidence - my fingerprints and shoe prints that the police had extracted from Jianglong Villa, as well as the surveillance video outside Longteng Community, and the testimony of the gangsters who were present at the time.

Gou Chang was laying out these evidences, and all the fingers were pointed at me. He reconstructed what happened in the villa that night to the judge and jury, and it was very close to the truth.

This person has a strong insight and can recreate the scene of the crime based only on the gangster's testimony and evidence details.

"Defendant, do you have any objection to what the plaintiff said?" Chen Haiyi looked at me. After the witness was frightened and went crazy just now, he looked at me with a very strange look.

"Yes!" I shouted to Gou Changzheng: "He is completely making it up and is framing me!"

I shouted loudly while thinking about the clues that the police had not yet grasped in Jiang Long’s death case.

"First, the video data you provided comes from the periphery of Longteng Community. It can only prove that I entered Longteng Community that night and had the time to commit the crime."

"Second, my fingerprints and footprints were recovered from the house, which only shows that I entered the murder scene on the night of the crime. It also cannot directly prove that I am the murderer."

"Third, all your testimonies come from Jiang Long's men. Their testimonies are completely consistent. I suspect that you colluded with each other in advance and deliberately wanted to blame the murderer on me!"

I practice Miaozhenxin Dharma and often recite Taoist scriptures. I speak with a sense of righteousness, and even I believe it when I say it: "The several testimonies you just provided mentioned a problem, I am alone. There were no accomplices who entered the Jianglong Villa. Everyone here should know who Jiang Long is. Twenty years ago, he accompanied Jiang Detao to conquer the world. He was the leader of the entire Beicheng District, stomping his feet, black and white, The Taoist priests would tremble three times, how could such a notorious man and his younger brothers be killed by an outsider in his villa?"

I looked at the plaintiff's table: "Can your story be a little more bizarre?"

"Indeed, Jiang Long is nicknamed Hun Jiang Long. He is very ferocious. He is a madman who licks blood from his knife edge. It is difficult to kill him alone."

"Yes, there are so many younger brothers present, and Gao Jian will be hacked to death with one knife per person, but you see there are no obvious knife wounds on his body. Why do I think there is something hidden behind this matter?"

There was a lot of discussion in the spectator seats, and Gou Chang was about to continue speaking, but how could I easily let go when I had the initiative: "I was framed, and their testimony was fabricated. As for why they deliberately planned to frame me like this, and wanted to put me in this situation Damn it, that's because I have mastered a shocking top secret about Jiangjin Group! Telling this secret is likely to subvert Jiangjin Group's image in everyone's mind, and even trigger a major earthquake in Jiangcheng regarding the first consortium. ."

This trial was broadcast live by many media, which is why I dare to speak out.

Shocked by the words I inadvertently revealed, the restlessness in the spectator seats grew louder and louder.

"Quiet!" Chen Haiyi banged the gavel with a headache, stopping me from continuing, and looked at Jiang Chen: "What is the plaintiff's explanation for what the defendant said?"

"He's calling a thief to catch a thief, but he bites him back!" Jiang Chen stood up without thinking, and his reaction was a little fierce.

"Ahem!" Gou Changzheng gently tugged on Jiang Chen and stood up: "The court is a place of fair and strict judgment. Evidence must be used in everything. Words cannot be trusted. I hope the defendant can provide strong evidence. If it cannot be produced, I'm afraid I'm going to charge you with Article 22 - malicious slander and defrauding the public."

"Don't think that I don't know what your wishful thinking is. Jiang Detao used all his connections to prevent me from hiring a defense lawyer, getting key evidence, and confronting you in court. But you think that if I die, the secret will be enough." Are you going to be hidden?" I ignored the presiding judge's eyes to stop him, and said with a stern attitude: "To tell you the truth, I have given those documents to different people for safekeeping. Once something happens to me, they will immediately take care of me. A large number of copies of the documents will be handed over to the prosecutor's office, which will cause uproar in the city. Don't blame me for not warning you."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Chen's expression changed drastically. After all, he was not as sophisticated as Jiang Detao, and he would reveal his flaws with the slightest deceit. I immediately understood the Jiang family's bottom line, and felt a little more confident. As long as I didn't disclose the specific location of the file, I would be safe for the time being.

"Pay attention to the order of the court hearing. Don't say anything without permission." Chen Haiyi warned me once and signaled Gou Changzheng to continue.

The lawyer was also very cunning: "The secret about Jiangjin Real Estate is purely fabricated by the defendant to divert everyone's attention. The case of Jiang Long's death is very clear. The defendant has the time, motive, location, and ability to commit the crime, and the director of Jiangjin Real Estate Changjiang Detao also kept a recording about the defendant, which clearly recorded the defendant's arrogant and cruel nature, and he carried out live broadcasts of killings when the phone was open!"

Gou Changzheng then submitted Jiang Detao's phone recording, in which Jiang Detao's own voice was partially silenced, while my voice was completely preserved.

"Defendant, how do you explain this?"

In the phone recording, I clamored to live broadcast the killing, and in fact I did so, but now this situation cannot be admitted under any circumstances: "The voice on the phone is true of me, but I was deliberately induced by the other party." I just said these words. This is a very normal thinking. Who would live broadcast a murder in front of the chairman of Jiangjin Real Estate? And he is not looking for money or profit, he just wants to get back his own things. ?”

Because it involves information about the underworld show, I naturally ended the topic and returned to the death of Jiang Long: "As for the evidence provided by the plaintiff, I think it is completely untenable. Since it was said that I was the murderer, then Just take out Jiang Long’s death appraisal results and let the judge see what weapon I used and what method I used to cause Jiang Long’s death!”

Gou Changzheng did not answer directly. He was a cunning and cunning person who knew how to evade important matters and began to state other charges. However, I clung to the death case of Jiang Long. The trial reached a deadlock for a while until Gou Changzheng's cross-examination time was over.

"Now it is the turn of the defendant Gao Jian to present evidence and the plaintiff's defense lawyer will conduct cross-examination."

After Chen Haiyi finished speaking, everyone in the audience looked at me. Gou Changzheng also sneered and said to Jiang Chen: "There is not even a defense lawyer. He has been in the custody of the armed police since he was arrested. Where did he go to find evidence? At the beginning of this lawsuit, We are already invincible.”

There was suddenly silence in the courtroom. Under the intense gazes, I racked my brains but could no longer think of any solution.

"Defendant, please present your evidence, otherwise your previous remarks will be deemed invalid." Chen Haiyi and several judges urged me at the same time.

My arms were a little stiff, the cold air from the air conditioner was blowing on my back, and the sweat on my forehead was dry and wet. I licked my cracked lips and looked at the malicious people in the plaintiff's seat.

Some of them were gloating, and some were secretly making provocative gestures, but I could only watch alone. Gou Changzheng is right, I can't provide any evidence.

He sighed helplessly: "I don't have evidence yet..."

Just when I was about to give up the cross-examination, the door of the hearing hall was pushed open.

A ray of sunlight shone into the room, and a smiling middle-aged man walked in through the gallery.

"I'm the defendant's defense lawyer. Sorry, I'm late."
