In the third test, Zheng Yuhua was probably deliberately making things difficult for Shao Qianli. Not only were the sentences remote, but they were also very long. It was very difficult to memorize every word.
As Zheng Yuhua spoke, the two examiners took notes. Halfway through, even the juror who participated in the test could not stand it anymore and said coldly,"Aren't you going too far, prosecutor?”
Zheng Yuhua was thick-skinned and ignored the juror's protest. He obviously intended to make things difficult for Shao Qianli. Little did he know that the more he made things difficult for Shao Qianli, the more he would be slapped in the face later.
Before the two participants could finish writing, Shao Qianli said,""It's such a long sentence. Let me repeat it again. I'm afraid they won't be able to remember it. This quote came from the Book of Exodus. God was considerate of their weakness and was afraid that they would lose heart when they saw the enemy, so he deliberately took them around and then led them with a pillar of cloud during the day and a pillar of fire at night, so that they could be safe day and night and see the presence of God.”
Judge Huang Bo verified the results and said,""It turns out that the defendant could hear Teddy Li's whispers. Do you have any more questions?”
Zheng Yuhua shook his head dejectedly and replied,""No, I haven't."
The second segment of the trial ended with both parties giving evidence. Up until now, neither party had been able to refute the other party, so it was considered a draw.
Next, it was time for the third segment of the trial, where both parties made their closing statements.
Perhaps because he had been repeatedly slapped in the face, Zheng Yuhua's closing statement was much more low-key. He basically quoted the point of view of the accusation.
On the contrary, Xu Huizhong's closing statement had a lot more room to play.
Xu Huizhong stood up and said in a clear voice," Your Honor, fellow members of the jury, in order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of citizens from being violated, my client decisively opened fire to stop the crime... He would rather bear the risk of being charged with murder than to let this lady suffer even the slightest harm... His actions make me feel that the money of our taxpayer-like people is not wasted..." After taking a deep breath, Xu Huizhong pointed at the prosecutor Zheng Yuhua and roared loudly,""Unlike him, who only relied on his own reasoning to judge others and slander others without basis…Think about it, what would the consequences be if my client did not shoot…Are our police only fit to collect corpses? Therefore, I implore the jury to find my client not guilty.”
From the start of the trial until now, the prosecution had relied solely on reasoning, while the defense had cited evidence to convince them. It was clear at a glance who was superior and who was inferior. The scales of victory had already begun to tilt in Shao Qianli's favor.
However, no one could predict the final outcome until the moment the jury decided. Who knew if any of the seven judges would suddenly go crazy and get their heads caught in the door?
Ten minutes later, Judge Huang Bo asked,""Jury, have you reached a verdict?”
The chief juror stood up and swept his gaze across the court. His gaze finally stopped on Shao Qianli for a moment before he said to Judge Huang Bo,""After a vote by the jury, we have finally ruled that the defendant Shao Qianli is not guilty of murder!”
“yeah!”Shao Qianli clenched his fists and cheered.
Xu Huizhong hugged her two assistants to celebrate.
Shao Qianli's colleagues stood up and applauded.
Judge Huang Bo knocked the gavel and said,""Silence! All rise…In the case of intentional homicide, the court has decided as follows: 1. Defendant Shao Qianli is acquitted. Second, this judgment is the final judgment…"
After hearing the verdict, Shao Qianli immediately turned to look at Su Chenxi. At this moment, Su Chenxi was also looking at him.
Their eyes met. A feeling that transcended life and death, experienced separation, and met again arose from the bottom of their hearts. This feeling was like love, but it was not. It seemed like friendship, but it surpassed friendship. They looked at each other silently, but there were thousands of words they wanted to say.
After a long time, Su Chenxi smiled sweetly at him. This smile was like a hundred flowers blooming and the spring breeze blowing on his face. It was intoxicating.
Shao Qianli nodded slightly at her, indicating,""Wait for me." This was not the best time to talk about his worries. There were still a lot of colleagues waiting to congratulate him.
Su Chenxi nodded at him and gestured."I'll wait for you."
Shao Qianli walked towards Xu Huizhong. On the way, he saw that Su Chenxi did not have any intention of leaving. He understood that Su Chenxi had read his mind. This might be called tacit understanding.
Shao Qianli came before Xu Huizhong and bowed slightly as a junior greeting an elder. He said gratefully,""Auntie Xu, it's all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, I would be in prison now. I can't thank you enough. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me. I'll do my best to do it…I still have a lot of colleagues over there. I'll come to thank you another day. I can't talk too much today.”
Xu Huizhong nodded with a smile and said,"Go!"
The first person he saw was Gao Feng. Shao Qianli stood at attention and saluted him. Gao Feng shook hands with him warmly and congratulated him.
Then, it was his old partner, Officer Chen. The two of them hugged each other tightly.
Then, the other colleagues hugged him one by one.
Walking in front of Yang Ying, Little Yang said first,"I want a hug too!"
