Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!

Chapter 213 Victory? Defeat! [34!]

Each injury has its own specific cause, and the factors that can lead to a particular injury are usually limited to a few.

Abrasions, blunt force injuries, stab wounds.
These items all have very distinct production methods!

The 'finished product' created by Zheng Shijie and his team could not possibly have been produced by ordinary people due to accidental factors!

Let's say that.

At rural markets, the way people slide their bodies on carts is often quite terrifying!
For example, severe twisting of the waist, folding in the opposite direction, with the head placed under the crotch!
Upon seeing these, one might instinctively think it was caused by a fall or something else, but upon closer examination...
What kind of accident could cause a person's waist to fold backwards?

Falling from high school?
Hit by a car?
An earthquake? Or what we call a fire?

None of these will work; none of them can cause a catastrophic situation for the other side!
only
Using their hands and tools, they broke a person's back!

"Man-made!!!"

Suddenly, someone in the dock raised an eyebrow and frowned.

If there are truly unforeseen factors that could not have caused these traces.
Then there are a lot of suspicious points in this case!

"That's right, I've had these injuries verified by a forensic appraisal agency in another city, and there were no accidental factors involved!"

Xu Liang nodded and said in a deep voice.

"An organization from another region? Which organization?"

Judge Liu Shengnan suddenly spoke up with a question.

Xu Liang paused for a moment, then replied:
"The Bosai Forensic and Appraisal Judicial Institution of Hanhai City is affiliated with the Hanhai City Intermediate People's Court."

Unexpectedly.

Before Xu Liang could finish speaking, Liu Shengnan interjected:

"Did you submit the evidence to the court for review during the period of presenting evidence before the trial?"

举证
The period for submitting evidence!?

The defendant, Zhao Hailong, paused for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening. He disregarded court order and retorted directly:

"Your Honor, the opposing counsel's investigation is an illegal act!"

"The Jiangcheng forensic and judicial authorities have never released the body outside the jurisdiction. The other party's body data is either falsified or obtained illegally!"

"Given that the opposing lawyer failed to present any evidence during the evidence presentation period and did not allow the court to examine it, I have strong reason to suspect that the opposing lawyer was..."

"Fake certificate!"

Fake document?

The moment those three words were spoken, the atmosphere in the courtroom instantly became serious.

This is a fake document; this kind of thing involves criminal activity!
Even if you fabricate evidence in a civil case, you will still be held criminally liable!

Liu Shengnan completely ignored Zhao Hailong. She stared at Xu Liang, her serious and rigid face full of impatience, and said in a deep voice:
"Plaintiff, are you suspected of fabricating evidence?!"

Xu Liang frowned.

Fake?

The document contains detailed authentication information; how could it possibly be faked!

This evidence was obtained by him using autopsy reports provided by the authorities, or rather, by the courts and other institutions.

Although the autopsy report showed incorrect results, the process, such as the autopsy data, was correct. Anyone with even a little expertise could easily spot the discrepancy by comparing the data and results in the report!
"The defendant is slandering us!" Xu Liang responded in a deep voice.

Yang Ruoxi, who was standing next to her, suddenly tensed up. Her fists, which were hidden under the table, clenched unconsciously, and even her breathing became a little rougher.

"Please present the evidence," Liu Shengnan said.

Present the evidence?

Xu Liang was stunned, watching Liu Shengnan's brows furrow deeper and deeper.

Since ancient times, it has always been the case that whoever provides the evidence must also cross-examine it.

There's no way to prove it yourself!

You can never prove something clearly by yourself!

"Your Honor, do the defendant and the judge have any questions regarding this autopsy report?"

He asked.

As for the parts that are not understood
"I mean, you need to provide evidence that proves this autopsy report is genuine!"

Liu Shengnan's expression remained unchanged as she continued to ask questions.

"Not answers!"

Xu Liang was speechless; he almost laughed out of anger at the other party.

This is like asking you to prove that you are a person!
How can you prove that you are a human being?

what?
You say you can speak, you can think, and you have a human appearance? Then how can you prove that besides these abilities, you are also human in other ways?!

The autopsy report is the same!

Seeing that Xu Liang remained silent, Liu Shengnan turned to look at the defendant's seat.

"Defendant, do you have any rebuttal to the plaintiff's statements?"

Zhao Hailong immediately spoke up:

"I request that the evidence submitted by the plaintiff be rejected!"

"The opposing lawyer clearly violated regulations by conducting an investigation and launching a surprise attack on evidence, which was evidence that could not be verified in a short period of time!"

talking.

Zhao Hailong quickly handed over all the clues he had collected.

"Furthermore, the so-called human factor is simply laughable!"

"According to the forensic report issued by Jiangcheng Forensic Science Center, the injuries sustained by the deceased Qi Yu were entirely caused by an accidental fall, including those on his lumbar spine!"

"And the so-called corrosion marks"

talking.

Zhao Hailong paused for a moment, then presented another testimony.

"According to our investigation, this did not occur at Jianghe Pickles Factory."

"Instead, it was caused by improper operation during the autopsy by the testing agency, which resulted in acidic liquid corroding the body!"

Improper handling can lead to the decomposition of a corpse?

How can this be! ?
Regardless of whether there was actually improper operation.

How could someone be holding a testing liquid during an autopsy while the body is underneath it?!

Xu Liang couldn't even fathom what kind of acidic liquid could be used to perform an autopsy on a corpse, especially on its face!

"This is impossible!"

Yang Ruoxi couldn't stand it anymore. The evidence submitted by Zhao Hailong was completely unreasonable!

She glared at Zhao Hailong.

"There is a clear difference between the traces left by corrosion before and after a person dies!"

"The corrosion marks on Qi Yu's forehead could not have been caused by operational errors!"

"We propose that we conduct a further investigation into the opposing side's evidence!"

Yang Ruoxi's language logic is very clear.

Xu Liang did not speak, nor did he intend to stop the other party from speaking.

only.
Once this reasonable request was made.

Liu Shengnan frowned, as if he had been disturbed, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.

She instantly turned her head, looking down at Yang Ruoxi from the judge's bench, and angrily said:

"Plaintiff, it's not your turn to speak yet!"

"Please be mindful of courtroom discipline. This is a warning; if it happens again..."

"The court has the right to remove you from the courtroom!!!"

Expelled from court?
Yang Ruoxi was stunned. She looked at Liu Shengnan in disbelief. All the sounds around her disappeared, her mind went blank, and a buzzing sound appeared in her ears.

Court proceedings have very clear rules for speaking!

Before the two sides have a free debate, one side may speak and the other side may not interrupt without permission.

If there is a violation
Judges have the right to issue one warning and issue a second eviction!
It's normal to issue warnings one by one, but...
Didn't Zhao Hailong interrupt just now too?! Yang Ruoxi's face was a little ugly. She bit her lip tightly, her angry eyes staring at Liu Shengnan and the defendant.

See this.

Liu Shengnan showed a hint of impatience on his face, pondered for a moment, and then frowned as he looked at the plaintiff.

"Plaintiff, why did you launch a surprise attack with evidence?!"

why?
Of course, it's because there are rats in the courtroom!

Submitting evidence during the evidence submission period is tantamount to self-incrimination. Xu Liang would never doubt that the evidence he submitted would appear on Zhao Hailong's desk the very next day.

At that point, the other party might even just run away!

How could things have turned out this way, with our side having the upper hand in terms of evidence alone?

"Your Honor, I only accepted the commission on April 2nd!"

Xu Liang composed himself, suppressing his emotions, and spoke in a deep voice.

"There was no time left to present evidence last night, so the only option is to cross-examine the evidence in court!"

Hear the words.

Liu Shengnan, however, directly asked a question in return.

"The autopsy report indicates that the autopsy was performed on March 29th!"

"In other words, the autopsy was already completed on the 29th, before you even accepted the commission, which was entirely within the period for presenting evidence!"

"so."

talking.

Her gaze sharpened as she stared at Xu Liang, and she said, word by word:

"Why the surprise attack with evidence!?"

"Do you realize how much time this is wasting in court?!"

Anger was brewing in his chest, but a good lawyer would hide it well.

Xu Liang suppressed his anger and said again:

"This is not a surprise attack, and it won't waste time!"

"Your Honor, you could easily have adjourned the court for ten minutes to examine the evidence!!!"

ten minutes.

A phone call to Hanhai City would be perfectly sufficient.

only.
"I'm asking you why the evidence was presented as a surprise attack!!!"

Liu Shengnan repeated himself, completely ignoring Xu Liang's words.

immediately.

Before Xu Liang could speak, she said:

"The plaintiff's evidence of surprise during the trial is now..."

"Not approved!"

Not approved
The moment those four words were uttered, it was like a thunderclap, echoing throughout the entire courtroom.

The other two judges were stunned, hesitated for a moment, but did not stop them.

Zhao Hailong and Cheng Jia's faces lit up with joy.

The evidence submitted by Xu Liang is a loophole that they cannot hide no matter what. Regardless of whether it is a surprise attack or not, the lies will be exposed as long as the investigation is conducted!

The fact that Liu Shengnan currently refuses to approve is a completely unexpected surprise!
"Plaintiff, do you have any other evidence that has been submitted during the evidentiary period and has been reviewed, which you wish to submit?"

Liu Shengnan glanced at Xu Liang.

Xu Liang stared at the other person expressionlessly for a long time before finally speaking:

"No."

Hear the words.

Liu Shengnan nodded, then looked at the defendant.

"Defendant, do you admit that your client made significant oversights in this civil compensation case?"

Zhao Hailong and Cheng Jia nodded.

They have only one goal.

The trial has concluded as a civil case!
The other party nodded.
Liu Yanan immediately stopped negotiating with the two judges and picked up a hammer.

"it is good!"

"The plaintiff has not submitted any new evidence, and the defendant now admits that the facts described by the plaintiff's client in the appeal are true."

"It is hereby announced"

Liu Yanan stood up, took the manuscript, and began to announce.

"The case of Qi Yu's accidental death at Jianghe Pickles Factory has been adjudicated."

"The deceased, Qi Yu, died unexpectedly due to major management oversights at the Jianghe Sunshine Disabled Persons Shelter and the Jianghe Pickles Factory!"

"It is hereby announced that, in accordance with the plaintiff's appeal, Jianghe Pickles Factory shall be ordered to pay the plaintiff a total of 500,000 Dongguo currency in compensation for mental distress, funeral expenses, and other related costs!"

"Jianghe Vision Disabled Persons Shelter Center was ordered to pay 100,000 yuan in compensation due to management oversights and serious errors in training personnel!"

Finished.

Liu Yanan picked up the hammer in her hand and struck it, then looked around.

"boom!"

"Does either side have any objections?"

"No, we have no objection!"

Zhao Hailong and Cheng Jia showed expressions of surprise and delight.

Six hundred thousand.
That's nothing more than what twenty people earn in a month!
This money is just a drop in the ocean for them, but it's enough to get them through this huge crisis!
Lost
The case was lost, but Zhao Hailong was unusually happy!
On the contrary, it was the plaintiff who 'won' the case.
No one from the plaintiff's side spoke.

Liu Shengnan glanced at it, then looked away and turned to leave, leaving only one sentence in court.

"This case is now announced."

Court adjourned!

Finished.

Liu Shengnan left the scene directly with the court clerk and the other two judges.

"Too deceiving!"

Yang Ruoxi's clear eyes were now brimming with anger. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she spoke.

"Targeting her. This is blatant targeting!"

"And it's also possible that this targeting is due to prejudice!"

Judges' discretionary sentencing power may be biased towards one party due to subjective negative feelings towards the other.

Yang Ruoxi is very angry now, but...
"Ah."

Xu Liang, who was standing to the side, suddenly burst out laughing.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi was immediately furious, and said through gritted teeth:
"How can you still laugh after losing the case?!"

Winning a civil lawsuit means that the appeal to switch to criminal proceedings is rejected.

In civil cases, if you win, the other party only needs to pay you some money!

But the truth behind this case goes far beyond a murder.
Even if it's just murder.

In that criminal homicide case, would a settlement of 600,000 yuan constitute a successful lawsuit?

Of course not.

only.
Watching Liu Shengnan's departing figure.

Xu Liang's eyes narrowed. He clutched the evidence he had never shown, lost in thought, muttering to himself:
"mouse"

"found it."
