According to the court procedure, after the prosecution presented evidence, it was the defense's turn.
If the confrontation in court was compared to a battle of offense and defense, then the defense would be on the offense and the defense would be on the defense. The defense would be on the defense and the defense would be on the offense.
Just now, their side had already missed the opportunity and failed to take down the enemy camp. Now it was their turn to defend. Xu Huizhong and Shao Qianli could not help but put in 120% of their energy and swear to defend their own camp. They could not let the prosecutor catch even the slightest flaw.
Xu Huizhong stood up, took a deep breath, and said,"Your Honor, members of the jury, you may be wondering why my client still shot and killed Teddy Lee when he clearly expressed his willingness to surrender. Please take a look at this video recorded by the law enforcement recorder that my client wore when he was carrying out his mission.”
Xu Huizhong's question raised the doubts in everyone's mind, including the prosecutor, Zheng Yuhua. Zheng Yuhua had watched this video over and over again, but he couldn't find any clues. Now, he was also very curious about what the defense could find out from this video.
……
The side door of the court was pushed open a crack. Su Chenxi, who was wearing a hospital gown, poked her head out and looked at the situation inside. Then, she quietly walked to the hearing bench and found a seat to sit down.
When Su Chenxi came in, the big screen in the court was playing the scene of her being kidnapped. This was the first time Su Chenxi saw this scene. In the video, Teddy Li grabbed her and blocked her in front of him. He threatened the police officer to put down his gun with her life. Teddy Li's face was ferocious, his voice and expression fierce, and the scene was thrilling. If she hadn't experienced it personally, she might have treated this video as a plot from a TV series.
When she saw this scene, Su Chenxi's eyes widened. She covered her mouth with her right hand and grabbed her collar with her left hand. Only now did she truly understand how dangerous the situation was. As the saying goes, if you look horizontally at the side of the ridge, you will form a peak. The distance and height are different. You can't see the true face of Lushan Mountain because you are in this mountain. This poem was probably a true reflection of her current experience.
Now, she knew how wrong she was before. She didn't even give them a chance to explain. Last night, the two nurses scolded her for being heartless.
The video showed Teddy Lee saying," Okay, I'm willing to surrender to the police, but before that, I want to say a few words to her.”Xu Huizhong pressed the pause button.
Then, Xu Huizhong zoomed in on the dagger in Teddy Li's hand and took a screenshot of the enlarged image. Then, Xu Huizhong pressed the play button, and the video continued to play, but the later scenes were played in slow motion. Five seconds after Teddy Li said this, gunshots rang out and he fell into a pool of blood.
Doubt rose in everyone's hearts again. That's right, Teddy Li had already expressed his willingness to surrender to the police. He had only whispered a few words. How could he have been shot?
This was Xu Huizhong's brilliance. He first aroused everyone's doubts. According to psychology, the greater one's hope, the greater one's disappointment. Now that everyone had doubts about Shao Qianli, when the truth was revealed, everyone would understand how much injustice Shao Qianli had suffered. Would a police officer who would rather bear the injustice and shoot at such a critical moment be the kind of incompetent police officer that the prosecutor said?
While everyone was puzzled, Xu Huizhong replayed the scene to the 120 frames before Shao Qianli fired the shot. Then, he zoomed in on the dagger in Teddy Li's hand again and took a screenshot.
Then, Xu Huizhong put the two pictures together and put them on the big screen.
The truth was immediately revealed. The first picture showed the blade sticking close to Su Chenxi's neck, while the second picture showed the blade sticking close to Su Chenxi's neck.
When everyone saw the two pictures clearly and was imagining them, Xu Huizhong said in a clear voice,"What do these two pictures mean? I request the court to call our first witness, the internationally authoritative criminal psychologist Dr. Gu Tingzhang, to testify in court.”
In the presiding judge's seat, Judge Huang Bo said,""Summon the witness to court."
Dr. Gu Tingzhang was the elderly scholar sitting on the witness stand. He stood up, took out a pair of glasses and put them on, then said,"There's a term in criminal psychology: The face is born from the heart. What does this term mean? It means that when a person commits a crime, what he thinks in his heart is often reflected in his facial expressions or body movements…"
Dr. Gu Tingzhang took out some pictures of criminals who had committed crimes in the past. There were robberies, murders, and frauds. He compared them with the pictures of people under normal circumstances. Point out the difference between a person's facial expression and body movements when committing a crime and their normal state.
Then, Dr. Gu Tingzhang took out some pictures of animals hunting or attacking. For example, when a cat caught a mouse, its sharp claws would be exposed from the palm. Under normal circumstances, it would be retracted in the palm to protect the sharp claws. For example, when a poisonous snake attacked, it would raise its neck and flatten it.
In the end, Dr. Gu made the final decision. He defined the dagger in Teddy Lee's hand as a signal that he was about to commit a crime.
Since the expert said so, the jury naturally chose to believe the expert. As for the prosecutor, Zheng Yuhua, he did not dare to question Old Master Gu's conclusion. Unless he could bring out an expert of the same weight, he had no evidence to refute Old Master Gu's conclusion.
However, Zheng Yuhua still said unwillingly,"Then how do you explain Teddy Lee's willingness to surrender to the police?”
"Because he's lying," Xu Huizhong scolded loudly.”
"How do you prove that Teddy Li is lying?" Zheng Yuhua asked.”
Xu Huizhong's voice froze and she was speechless. She really had no way to prove that Teddy Li was lying, unless…
At this moment, a crisp and high-pitched female voice came from the hearing stand."I can prove it!"
Shao Qianli turned his head abruptly. When he saw that the person who spoke was Su Chenxi, he was instantly ecstatic. She thought,"Little Grandaunt, you're finally here." In that instant, Shao Qianli's previous resentment towards her vanished. Looking at her beautiful face, he found it pleasing to the eye. He really wanted to lift her up and kiss her.
"I request the court to call our second witness to testify.”
In the presiding judge's seat, Judge Huang Bo said,""Summon the witness to court."
Su Chenxi came to the witness stand and said,"I want to state to the court what Teddy Li said to me before he died.'Dawn, you are destined to be mine. I can't have you, and I will never allow anyone else to have you. I'm going to kill you.'”
Shao Qianli's heart skipped a beat. This girl actually perjured herself in court. Teddy Li's original words did not include the words " I'm going to kill you."
Teddy Lee had whispered to Chenxi when he was alive. At that time, only Chenxi had heard it. However, Shao Qianli had been using telepathy to lock onto Teddy Lee, so Shao Qianli had also heard what he said.
Shao Qianli's heart thumped wildly.'Little Aunt, don't play around. This is a court of law. Aren't you afraid of being exposed for perjuring yourself?' You're playing me to death.
