Matthew Crow's face suddenly flushed red, his lips twitched twice, as if he wanted to explain a few words, but in the end he couldn't hold back a word.
There is no way, at this time there is a sense of powerlessness in defending everything, and it is difficult to come back hard.
When he was speechless, the prosecution lawyer Gunter stood up again, "Let me explain to Mr. Claw that the formation of experience is about too many things. In addition to accumulated qualifications, it is also related to talent."
Of course, he didn't really say this to Gu Yan, but to the jury. In order not to let that group of people be taken away by Gu Yan's words, they turned their backs collectively.
Attorney Gaunt suppressed the tone, and his calm voice is the best when persuading people: "I think whether it is the judge or the jury, including all the listeners here may have experienced this. experience, some people are just gifted in a certain field. Maybe Mr. Crow is naturally sensitive to cars, and just happens to do such a job. As the defendant's defense attorney said, he has seen cars that are not as good as ours Some of them are many, but maybe he can tell what car is passing by just by the sound of the engine and the silhouette?"
Gaunt turned his attention to Gu Yan again and said, "At least... We can't deny this kind of thing outright. What do you think, Lawyer Gu?"
Gu Yan glanced at him, not intending to hold on to this point, but nodded gracefully, "That's true."
Gaunt probably didn't expect him to talk so well, and raised his eyebrows for a moment.
And Matthew Crow, who was stunned on the witness stand, was relieved visibly, and the blood on his face slowly faded away.
So for a moment, he was even grateful to the defense lawyer, thanking the other party for not embarrassing him too much.
And this scene was also caught in the eyes of all the listeners.
In the first-level lawyer's seat area, Parvin, who had not spoken for a long time, whispered to Yan Suizhi again: "It's very powerful, this mentality of stop-and-go is too easy to win goodwill, and it will appear very gentleman."
Yan Suizhi still propped his chin, and smiled when he heard the words: "What does it mean to appear?"
"Okay, it's a gentleman in essence." Parvin snorted, "As expected of your student, he is so young, but his style of behavior is very good at that."
In Yan Suizhi's philosophy, confrontation in court is not really an enemy.
You can expose any flaws, point out any flaws, and make people speechless and silent. But never convict the plaintiff, witnesses or even the opposing lawyer without sufficient evidence.
Just like in the case of Lyra star George Manson, the police officer who gave the defendant Chen Zhang a confession day and night. Under the inquiry environment at that time, Yan Suizhi only needed to add one more sentence to label the other party as "extorting a confession by torture", but he did not.
Because it is actually difficult for you to confirm whether those who do wrong things and say the wrong things really harbor such deep viciousness.
Evidence can be attacked, but don't wantonly attack people.
This is an implicit criterion of Yan Suizhi.
This guideline has nothing to do with emotions, psychology and rhythm, or any courtroom skills. It just preserves a trace of goodwill in court.
In fact, Yan Suizhi never mentioned this kind of subjectivity to the students, let alone teaching or imparting it. But he never thought that Gu Yan, who had never learned this, would still turn the same road with him.
This may be regarded as a tacit understanding of it.
So, after Parvin sighed for a while, Yan Suizhi said calmly, "Gu Yan's behavior has nothing to do with who he is, just because he is himself."
Palvin thought about it, and clicked again.
However, this demeanor is not understood by everyone.
In a court with a strong smell of gunpowder, there are always some hellish people who will take this kind of demeanor as a justification and concession.
Like Gaunt.
After the lawyer finished speaking for Matthew Crow, he didn't sit down, but raised his eyebrows and asked Gu Yan politely: "Since Attorney Gu agrees with what I just said, then what about the witnesses? Is this the end of Mr. Lowe's inquiry? Allow me to conclude to the judge and the jury that Mr. Lowe's testimony is not infallible in principle."
He was going to continue to make some inflammatory remarks, but just after saying this, Gu Yan calmly cut him off and said, "No hurry, there are last few questions."
"… "
Gaunt took a breath, but he couldn't let it out.
You are not in a hurry, I am in a fucking hurry!
He thought so in his heart, but he had to maintain basic politeness and squeezed out an answer: "Then, please continue."
After Gaunt said this, he was about to sit down, but then he heard Gu Yan say: "Wait a minute, there are a few questions that Mr. Crow can't answer, maybe he needs to ask you for advice."
"… "
So before Gaunt's butt touched the chair, he silently stood up again.
Matthew Crowe unconsciously folded his stomach and stood at attention, waiting for Gu Yan to open his mouth a little nervously.
"Individual details on the day of the incident, I still need to confirm with you again." Gu Yan said.
Crowe nodded: "You ask."
"You said just now that the first rainstorm lasted from 4 o'clock to around 9:20 pm?"
"right."
"The rain is sloping, the wind is strong, and it was photographed on the window of your duty booth for a full five hours?"
"Yes."
Gu Yan released a photo of the duty booth and 013 Mountain Road on the holographic screen, and asked, "In the photo, you can see that the duty booth you work in has three windows. During the rainstorm, all three sides were beaten by the rain?"
Matthew Crowe shook his head, and he pointed to the window in the middle: "I usually face this window, and in front of me is the desk, I remember very clearly, I was lying on the desk that day, and the rain hit me. On the windowpane right in front of me."
"Did the rain change during those five hours?"
Crowe shook his head, "No, I kept shooting, it never stopped, and it didn't get smaller. If I had to say it, it even got bigger and bigger, and finally stopped abruptly, but this is also the characteristic of heavy rain in our area. ."
"So, during those five hours, were there any other vehicles heading towards the warehouse?"
"nor."
"Sure?"
"Maybe around midnight, I was a little sleepy, so I was a little stunned when you said the two rainstorms, because I don't really remember the second one." Matthew Crowe finally admitted, "But I I swear, I've been sober for the last five hours! Just this car, no one else."
Gu Yan nodded, and brought up the embarrassed photo of the Silver Leopard GTX3, and then asked Gaunt, "This is the car that my client Horace Ji used on the day of the crime, right?"
Lawyer Gaunt said angrily: "Yes, all the traces in the car can testify, and the mud marks outside the car can also testify."
"Is there any evidence that he used another car during the incident?"
Gaunt said firmly: "No, this is it."
Gu Yan: "Okay."
I don't know why, but when Gu Yan said "Okay", Gaunt came up in a panic inexplicably.
He saw that Gu Yan flipped the play button lightly with his finger, and the silver leopard GTX3 on the screen doubled, and the mud trails that had been removed were shown in front of everyone in the form of a close-up of the area.
Not only the listeners who were present saw it clearly, but also the people watching the live broadcast in the whole league.
The mud trails all tended to be thrown by the wheels, leaning forward and sticking around the wheels.
Gu Yan said in a deep voice: "According to the testimony of the witness Mr. Matthew Crow, from 4:00 p.m., it started to rain heavily in the area of Jade Mountain, with strong wind and sloping rain. At 5:15, a Silver Leopard GTX3 drove into the 013 Mountain Road. , arrived at the scene of No. 7 in the rain. At 9:10 in the night, the same Silver Leopard GTX3 returned the same way in the rain. Ten minutes later, at about 9:20, the rainstorm stopped. During this period, the wind and rain did not change. ."
"On the premise that there is no problem with the above testimony, there should be two types of mud spots in the area of the Silver Leopard GTX3 driven by the suspected criminal, one is on the way, and the other is on the way back. There is a difference between the tailwind and the headwind. The direction of the two splashes must be inconsistent."
Gu Yan held an electronic pen and ticked two arrows on the holographic screen, then threw the pen away, raised his eyes and looked at Lawyer Gaunt: "Then may I ask, my client, Mr. Horace Ji, is driving This Silver Leopard GTX3, why is there only one kind of mud trail in this area?"
Gaunt's mind went blank for a moment.
But he reacted immediately and subconsciously retorted: "It can be wiped. Maybe after the defendant arrived at the warehouse, he wiped off the mud traces when he arrived? There is only one type left!"
Gu Yan: "It can indeed be wiped. According to the direction of the storm wind and the direction of the 013 mountain road that day, the mud spot of the Silver Leopard GTX3, which was used as a tool for the criminal, should lean forward when it comes, and the mud spot when it returns is inclined backward. According to what you said, wipe If the former one is dropped, what should be left should be mud trails that lean back."
He curled his fingers and tapped the e-paper page in front of him gently, and the photos of the vehicles placed on the holographic screen shook slightly.
"May you please tell me which direction the mud trail is in the car that my client Horace Ji abandoned?"
Lean forward.
Diametrically opposed.
Gaunt was speechless.
The scene fell silent again.
