Shao Qianli wanted to laugh when he heard this. The prosecutor actually thought that he killed Teddy Li for personal gain. Were they crazy? He actually came up with such a stupid reason. I have no hatred for killing my father, nor do I have any hatred for stealing my wife. I don't want the Li family's property. What personal interest do I have to kill him? Zheng Yuhua, I'd like to hear what evidence you'll give to convince the jury in the second segment.
Xu Huizhong was also shocked. This was seriously inconsistent with her previous expectations. She had expected the prosecutor to accuse them on the grounds that they were nervous during the mission, misjudged the situation, or even misfired. She glanced at Shao Qianli and saw that he was actually laughing out of anger. This kid was still laughing foolishly. If the other party didn't have conclusive evidence, he definitely wouldn't have said such words.
After the prosecution finished speaking, it was the defense's turn to speak.
Xu Huizhong stood up and said,"Your Honor, members of the jury, my client noticed that the deceased Teddy Lee had obvious criminal intentions and a clear signal of committing a crime during the execution of the mission. Therefore, he decisively fired. This is a police officer protecting the legitimate rights and interests of citizens from being violated. Shooting is the sacred authority granted to him by the law…Therefore, I implore the jury to find my client innocent. (Omit a few hundred words)"
After the two sides finished speaking, the jury summarized the opinions of both parties as: The prosecutor believed that Shao Qianli had a personal motive and fired because of his personal interests. The defense believed that Taidi Li had an obvious intention to commit a crime and a clear signal to commit a crime. Shao Qianli fired to stop him from committing the crime.
Next, the trial entered the second stage. Both parties provided evidence and refuted each other's views.
The prosecutor, Zheng Yuhua, stood up and said to the court,"I have a statement here that proves that the defendant was transferred out of the Key Case Investigation Unit on September 5th, 2018. I also have a certificate here that proves that the defendant used his working hours to speculate in stocks. Now I have a few questions for the defendant.”
Xu Huizhong stood up and said,"Objection. Transferring out of the Major Crimes Division and speculating in stocks during office hours have nothing to do with this case. My client refuses to answer questions that are unrelated to this case.”
"Overruled!" Judge Huang Bo said. The prosecutor could ask the defendant questions.”
The prosecutor Zheng Yuhua asked Shao Qianli,"Is it true that he was transferred out of the crime squad and was involved in stock trading during working hours?”
Shao Qianli replied,"I speculate in stocks during working hours…"
The prosecutor, Zheng Yuhua, interrupted Shao Qianli and continued to ask,""You only need to answer whether it is true or not.”
Shao Qianli was silent for a long time. These two matters were well known in the police station, and he could not deny it. Moreover, he thought that these two matters were harmless and there was no need to argue about such minor matters. Therefore, he replied,"It's true!"
"So, do you want to return to the Major Crimes Division?"”
Shao Qianli pondered for a moment. There was no way to deny this question. If he said he didn't want to, Zheng Yuhua could at least come up with dozens of reasons to refute his lie. Instead of leaving a bad impression on the jury, it was better to admit it, so he replied,"Yes!"
"So, do you think that you will be rewarded for successfully rescuing the hostages?" Zheng Yuhua continued to ask.”
Xu Huizhong stood up again and said,"Objection, the prosecutor is trying to lure a confession!”
"Overruled!" Judge Huang Bo said. The defendant must answer this question.”
Shao Qianli replied helplessly,""According to the police regulations, kidnapping is a major criminal case. Successfully rescuing the hostage should be rewarded.”
The prosecutor Zheng Yuhua interrupted Shao Qianli and said,"You only need to answer yes or no.”
Shao Qianli gritted his teeth and replied,"Yes!"”
" I've finished asking my questions," the prosecutor, Zheng Yuhua, said loudly." The defendant was trading stocks during working hours. It can be seen that he was a police officer who neglected his duty." Then why was he so concerned about rescuing the hostages? It was because he wanted to successfully rescue the hostages and receive a reward. He wanted to get a raise and a promotion so that he could return to the crime squad.”Then, Zheng Yuhua pointed at Shao Qianli and roared,"Everything this person did was to satisfy his personal desires. For money, he could speculate in stocks during working hours. For meritorious service, he could kill people…Therefore, I once again ask the jury to find him guilty.”
Shao Qianli was heartbroken. The Department of Justice had really resorted to all sorts of methods to convict him. Zheng Yuhua's argument and evidence were flawless. There was no way to refute it. The jury probably believed his words.
As expected, Shao Qianli glanced at the jury seats. Several of the judges were whispering to each other and taking notes.
The situation was very unfavorable for Shao Qianli. If the defense was caught red-handed by the prosecution during the process of presenting evidence, this lawsuit would probably be a complete failure.
……
In the hospital ward, Su Chenxi leaned against the bed silently. Last night, she did not sleep well. She had nightmares again and again. At four in the morning, she could not sleep anymore. She sat on the sickbed until dawn.
Chenxi's mother walked into the ward with breakfast. Seeing that her daughter was in low spirits, she touched her daughter's forehead and asked,""If you have something on your mind, tell me about it.”
Su Chenxi's body tilted and fell into her mother's arms. She then asked,"Mom, is it wrong for a person to stick to their beliefs? Why can't everyone understand me?”
Chenxi's mother sighed. She understood why her daughter was conflicted. After a moment of silence, she said,""A person has to have their own beliefs. Child, you're not wrong…but you can't morally kidnap others and make everyone revolve around you.”
Su Chenxi suddenly sat up straight and muttered to herself," Moral kidnapping... So I really did something wrong... What right do I have to judge whether others are guilty or innocent... Only the judge has the right to judge... I should walk my own path and do my own thing. Let others judge the right and wrong... I understand, Mom, I completely understand.”
Chenxi's mother hugged her daughter lovingly and smiled.""Mommy's precious daughter has finally grown up!”
"Mom, what time is it now?" Su Chenxi asked.”
"It's already 9:20." Chenxi's mother replied.
"This is bad!" Su Chenxi let out a scream and jumped down from the sickbed. She wore her slippers and rushed out of the ward.
Chenxi's mother shouted anxiously," Child, you're running around in a hospital gown. Where are you going?"”
Su Chenxi answered as she ran,"I want to testify for him in court."
