【Not Guilty Defense-13】

The women's clothing boss Ji Xiaohui and her boyfriend Zou Yijia are both suspected of killing Xie Xiangqin.

On the day of the incident, the four people in their dormitory 105 played games in the dark until 4:00 in the morning. Because of staying up late, everyone said, "I slept very deeply, and I slept until 11:00 noon." It means that from 4:00 a.m. to 11:00 noon, they were all sleeping and could not prove whether other roommates went out. Such an "alibi" is not convincing.

From Li Huijuan's testimony, it can be known that the cartoon figures on Xie Xiangqin's table were not given by Zou Yijia. Since Xie Xiangqin and Ji Xiaohui are both anime lovers, maybe those things were given to her by Ji Xiaohui?

To Yue Xingwen's relief, after calling for half an hour, under his persuasion, Li Huijuan also seemed to have found some doubts and agreed to testify in court. A very diligent and hard-working girl, I also hope that she is not a murderer. If you can help her defend her and prove her innocence, I am willing to testify in court. "

Li Huijuan's willingness to appear in court is great news for Zhu Xiaoting.

There is only one day left until the court session.

In the morning, Lan Yarong suddenly received a notice from the police force that Zhu Xiaoting asked to see a lawyer.

When the two rushed to the police force, Zhu Xiaoting rarely showed some joy on her face. She said excitedly: "The police told me that the murderer of Liu Jiajia's case has been caught, and I am innocent! But I want to testify in court. ."

Lan Yarong was surprised at the efficiency of the police: "Did you tell you who the murderer is?"

Zhu Xiaoting's expression darkened, and she whispered: "It was the girl who took pictures of us on the beach that day. When she passed by our barbecue stall, she put laxatives in my dipping sauce, causing me to have diarrhea all night. Wait for me to leave. Afterwards, she went to the tent to poison Liu Jiajia, poisoned Jiajia to death, and dragged Jiajia into the sea to fake the appearance of drowning. The police found the source of the poison, and some passers-by wanted to get up early to watch the sunrise on the day of the incident. Just saw her entering the tent."

Witnesses, evidence, source of poison, motive for murder...

This logical chain is more convincing than the fingerprints Zhu Xiaoting simply left on the bottle.

It seems that the police in the beach case have locked the murderer. The girl from the chemical school was jealous of Bai Yueguang in her boyfriend's heart, so she killed Bai Yueguang to vent her anger. This extreme approach also led to a tragedy.

Zhu Xiaoting's eyes were a little red: "Jaga is really unlucky, she doesn't know Chen Kaiming from the science class at all, just because she is beautiful, Chen Kaiming had a crush on her, and was killed by Chen Kaiming's girlfriend..." She said He choked up: "It's my fault, I shouldn't go back to school alone. If I don't leave her, she won't have an accident, and I won't be framed."

Lan Yarong sighed lightly: "It's already happened, and regret is useless. It's the fault of Chen Kaiming's couple who didn't handle their own emotional problems well, and implicated others. Don't blame yourself too much."

Zhu Xiaoting took a deep breath to hold back her tears, looked at the two and said, "Tomorrow is going to be the court case, the Liu Jiajia case in the morning, and the Xie Xiangqin case in the afternoon. In the morning, I have to be a witness and explain the specific circumstances of my departure from Liu Jiajia that day; In this afternoon's case, I am the defendant..."

Lan Yarong took out a copy of Senior Sister Lan's final revised speech and handed it to her: "In the Xie Xiangqin case, as a defendant, you have a chance to make a statement for yourself. Attorney Yue Xingwen has already written the speech for you. Try to memorize it as much as possible. The content in the manuscript is what you told us yourself, and when the time comes, in court, you must restore the details of the day of the crime. "

Yue Xingwen urged: "Be careful, don't make mistakes at every point in time, be organized, keep your emotions under control, don't be nervous when you speak, and let everyone believe that what you are stating is the truth, understand?"

Zhu Xiaoting met the gentle gazes of the two of them, and gently clenched the statement: "Thank you, I will try my best to memorize it."

Lan Yarong added: "At that time, the prosecutor's lawyer may ask you some questions. If the other party is aggressive and asks you inducing inquiries, I will interrupt in time. Don't be intimidated by the other party's aura, When you encounter a question that you don’t know how to answer, you can say that you don’t know, or look at us, refuse to answer, and don’t be fooled by the other party’s language.”

Zhu Xiaoting said nervously: "Okay, if I encounter a question that I won't answer, I'll say I don't know."

Lan Yarong patted the back of her hand lightly, and said softly, "We have found clues that are beneficial to you, and we have invited a lot of witnesses. You must have confidence in us and in yourself. Okay. ?"

Zhu Xiaoting nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"

After coming out of the police force, Yue Xingwen said with a smile, "Senior Sister Lan is quite a lawyer."

Lan Yarong was helpless: "I'm also rushing ducks to the shelves. My total court appearances during my postgraduate period are very limited. Sigh, let's take a chance tomorrow."

Yue Xingwen said: "There should be new progress on Ke Shaobin's side. Tomorrow, shall we clear all the boys in dormitory 105 to the court as witnesses?"

Lan Yarong shook her head: "It's too late, the best result tomorrow is for the judge to recognize the new clues we have found, think that there is a new murderer in the case, agree to adjourn the court, call back and let the procuratorate reiterate. It is impossible to catch the real murderer on the spot. , there is still a lot of information that must be checked by the police."

Yue Xingwen opened the WeChat group and asked, "The time is very short, has the witness got it done? @zhuofeng"

Zhuo Feng said: "It's done, the uncle with the key is willing to testify in court."

Yue Xing Wen said: "Great! Li Huijuan and Qi Xinyu from the animation club are willing to appear in court."

Liu Zhaoqing quickly reported the results of the investigation in the group: "I checked in the hospital, Xu Youyou and Wang Xiaolu, two medical school girls, the former had a boyfriend, met their parents, and they reached the point of talking about marriage, but they did not kill Xie Xiangqin. The latter has a cold personality, and has already won the school's guaranteed research quota. Most of the time every day is devoted to scientific research and papers, and there is no contradiction with Xie Xiangqin and Zhu Xiaoting."

This line of medical school was interrupted. Although the two girls were in the dormitory at the time of the crime and knew Xie Xiangqin and Zhu Xiaoting, they had no motive for committing the crime. Xu Youyou's gossip doesn't seem like a murderer, Wang Xiaolu doesn't care about people, doesn't comment on this matter, and looks like it doesn't concern herself, because she usually has this kind of personality.

Jiang Pingce said: "It seems that the focus is on the boys in the 105 dormitory."

There were dead people in the girls' dormitory, and they were pushed around. The most likely murderer was a boy!

Yue Xingwen said: "Leave it to Ke Shao, Ping Ce and Xin Yan. Before the trial tomorrow, try to find more clues about Xie Xiangqin and Zhu Xiaoting in the boys' 105 dormitory. The more clues, the better it will be for us!"

Ke Shaobin and Jiang Pingce searched the Internet together, and they finally paid off. In the afternoon, they found a photo of a comic exhibition held in Beishan City on July 1 this year.

A passerby took some photos and posted them on Weibo. One of the women's clothing bosses in one of the photos was Ji Xiaohui, and the girl who took a photo with him was actually Xie Xiangqin who went to the Comic Con!

Passers-by took this photo and commented that "the two young ladies are so beautiful". Obviously, passers-by did not see Ji Xiaohui as a man dressed as a woman. The intimate photo of the two "girls" leaning together is enough to prove that their private relationship is not simple, and it can't be a coincidence that Xie Xiangqin went to the comic exhibition.

Jiang Pingce found Zhong Jian's circle of friends in July, and found that there were screenshots of Zou Yijia, Zhong Jian, and Zhang Bin playing the black play ranking together on July 1st in the circle of friends. The three of them played all day. At the same time, roommate Ji Xiaohui and girlfriend Xie Xiangqin met at the Comic Con?

Does Zou Yijia know that his girlfriend met his roommate behind his back?

Ke Shaobin continued to search for the photos of the day of the Comic-Con, and from the flooded news, he found all the photos taken by passers-by on Weibo on July 1, and screened out 10 traces related to Ji Xiaohui and Xie Xiangqin.

Ji Xiaohui was wearing an anime girl's pink dress and a golden wig at the time; Xie Xiangqin was wearing a very everyday dress, a simple white dress with red high heels and a ponytail, pure and beautiful.

The two took a group photo in front of the Comic-Con sign. They also had lunch together, visited the Comic-Con, and shopped around. The photos were taken from the perspective of passers-by. They laughed happily. More importantly, in one of the photos, Xie Xiangqin is holding a doll dressed exactly like Ji Xiaohui in his arms.

Ke Shaobin excitedly sent these photos to the group: "Ji Xiaohui and Xie Xiangqin have a very close relationship in private. Judging from the timeline of the photos taken by passers-by, Xie Xiangqin hadn't taken the doll at noon, but he took it in the afternoon, this hand-made doll. Ji Xiaohui must have bought it for her!"

Qin Miao said: "I remember that there is also this anime girl in the poster on the wall of Xie Xiangqin's dormitory, and there is a doll of the same style on the table. It seems that this is Xie Xiangqin's favorite anime character, and Ji Xiaohui's character COS is definitely not her favorite. coincide."

Qin Lu couldn't help but said: "There are so many anime female characters who can play COS, and he specially picked Xie Xiangqin's favorite characters to play. It can be seen that Ji Xiaohui is very attentive! Compared with calling his straight male boyfriend because he is not good at playing games, he is so considerate. Ji Xiaohui, is it easier to capture Xie Xiangqin's heart?"

Lin Manluo agrees: "Girls pay more attention to the details of life. Although Ji Xiaohui is introverted, he is not as bright and cheerful as Zou Yijia and can talk, but he plays the anime character that girls like and gives them anime figurines. It's really easy for girls Feeling good."

Ji Xiaohui looks gentle, and is indeed not as handsome and sunny as Zou Yijia.

But Zou Yijia doesn't seem to understand his girlfriend's heart very well. He gives gifts to his girlfriend, which are more popular things like lipstick and snacks. It is not as pleasant as the limited-edition figurines sent by Ji Xiaohui.

If Ji Xiaohui and Xie Xiangqin were ordinary friends, how could they give them away?

Would a normal boy give a "roommate's girlfriend" a figurine alone? A friend's wife should not be deceived, this is simply a taboo.

Yue Xingwen immediately said: "The relationship between Ji Xiaohui and Xie Xiangqin is not simple, try to find more evidence to prove that Ji Xiaohui and Xie Xiangqin have maintained private contacts for a long time."

After more than an hour, Ke Shaobin bubbled up in the group again and sent a string of new clues: "I touched Ji Xiaohui's personal space, checked his online shopping ID, and found that he has bought a lot of anime characters in the past six months. Costumes, props and wigs are used for cosplay, but in addition to the COS costumes, he also bought two everyday women's clothes and long black wigs."

Anime styling is generally more exaggerated. At first glance, you know that this is an anime character. In reality, there are many boys who have played COS for female characters. This is a personal hobby, and there is nothing to doubt it.

But the "everyday dress" that Ji Xiaohui bought has a big problem. The blue dress, white high heels, and black wig, when worn on her body, is completely the image of a "female college student".

This is not a simple anime COS, this is a direct male disguise as a female, right?

Yue Xingwen thought of a way: "Put the face of the model in this suit into Ji Xiaohui's, and ask the dormitory aunt if he has any impression. Maybe he has worn this suit many times to sneak into the girls' dormitory."

Ke Shaobin acted immediately and sent the photo to Qin Miao.

Qin Miao took the photo to ask the auntie dormitory, and was quickly confirmed: "Auntie dormitory said that she had met this girl, and she was a student living in Building 6. She often came back late on weekends and went to work and study outside."

Everyone looked at each other.

On weekends, I often go to the girls' dormitory.

this is too scary!

Lan Yarong hurriedly said: "The list of witnesses must be submitted before tonight, so as to convince the dormitory aunt to testify in court as soon as possible! In addition, the photos of our P cannot be used as evidence, but they can be raised as doubts. Ke Shao, will you make an animated short film? "

Ke Shaobin said, "It's easy to do, what should Senior Sister do?"

Lan Yarong asked him to make a simple animation of the crime scene: "Just do a simple restoration of the crime scene, so that the judge can trust Zhu Xiaoting's statement more. We are running out of time, tomorrow is a tough battle, and we must be in court. Keep Zhu Xiaoting and let the judge agree to send the case back for a retrial."

The court date is imminent.

Lan Yarong, Yue Xingwen, and Lin Manluo stayed up until 4 a.m. to sort out all the questions and defense drafts.

If the defense fails tomorrow, the judge convicts Zhu Xiaoting of murder on the spot, and they are finished.

So they must rack their brains to convince the judge and jurors of another possibility—

That is the possibility of Zhu Xiaoting being framed and the boys sneaking into the girls' dormitory to kill!
