(The book friends are fierce, sending razor blades, and threatening with banners. The author is under a lot of pressure, so he can only code words desperately, and add another chapter...)

Thursday, court day.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, there are still 30 minutes before the court session.

Director Ding of Ren's Films led the company's subordinates through the noisy crowd of the court, and finally squeezed into the gate of the court.

He went straight to the preparation room, opened the door and entered, and saw Zhang Wei and others sitting there, discussing something.

"Boss Ding, you're here."

"Lawyer Zhang, the situation outside is too..."

Mr. Ding pointed to the gate of the court with a distressed expression on his face.

He came to attend today's trial on behalf of Ren's Films. As a result, the group of Zhu Tianying's supporters outside hurled all kinds of insults at him as if they saw an enemy.

This feeling, as if he is the defendant in the case.

Not only that, the recent online and media reviews of Ren's Films are also unsightly.

Randomly search for the works of Ren's Films at night, and the comments below are all negative reviews.

These public opinions on the Internet caused the stock price of Ren's Pictures to drop a lot.

The market value of Ren's Pictures was 61.3 billion before, but now it may be less than 60 billion.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ding, the group of people outside the door are just like the cyber navy, they are all masters of doing things with money, you don't need to pay attention to it!"

Zhang Wei waved his hand calmly, signaling Mr. Ding not to care.

You are not a public figure, and you don't need to pay attention to rumors on the Internet.

Are you reasoning with Internet trolls?

Don't be funny, if Internet trolls can be reasonable, they will be trolls?

Anyway, after today, the whole East will know who Zhu Tianying is.

At that time, these Internet trolls and Internet trolls will disappear, and even those comments may be deleted, as if they never appeared.

The miscellaneous army on the Internet has no other skills, and what they are best at is to play with the wind.

"After today, Zhu Tianying will be convicted. I assure you, she will get what she deserves!"

"I hope so!"

Seeing that Zhang Wei had said that, Mr. Ding could only nod his head.

Now that Zhang Wei is so confident, he feels more at ease.

Anyway, whether the case is completed or not, the result will come out today.

"Xiao Tan, get ready, we're going to court!"

Zhang Wei yelled to Xiao Baihe and Tan Yingying beside him that the court time was coming.

"Oh well!"

Tan Yingying got up immediately, and after arranging her clothes, she gently patted her cheeks with both hands to refresh herself.

She grabbed a few folders at hand, followed Zhang Wei, and walked to the court together.

court.

In the courtroom, the hearing booth was almost full of people.

The lawyers and media reporters who were present at the trial last time also came today, and the number of them has even increased a lot.

This caused the hearing seats to be full, and there were even many people standing behind.

"Master, come on!"

"Zhang Wei, play well!"

In the first row of the hearing booth, Tie Ruyun and Lin Yumeng grabbed a good seat and were cheering for Zhang Wei.

"Come on, Xiao Tan is in court today, and I, the plaintiff, can't speak!"

Zhang Wei waved his hand and nodded with his friends.

Li Yueqin and Xiao Baihe, who followed behind, also returned to the auditorium seats, and sat with Mr. Ding and the others.

And only Zhang Wei and Tan Yingying sat in the prosecution seats that belonged only to them.

The prosecution is in place.

The doors of the courtroom opened.

Surrounded by a crowd of media reporters, the defense team also arrived.

However, unlike the prosecution, the defense is much more high-profile.

Zhu Tianying was surrounded by a group of media in the center, with Hu Yaode and Jiang Fengzhen as escorts, and Wang Meiyan followed behind carrying her bag like a little secretary.

Among the people traveling with Zhu Tianying, there was another heavyweight, Cheng Lisha.

She walked into the court, whispered a few words to Zhu Tianying, and then walked to the front row of the hearing stand.

There are two female assistants here who have already occupied a seat for her in advance. After Cheng Lisha sat down calmly, her eyes were fixed on the prosecution seat.

She wanted to see if the prosecution had any tricks today.

"As long as today's trial is over, I can once again use the power of public opinion to force Ren's Pictures to let Zhu Tianying appear in my interview for the second time!"

"Although her acting skills are really bad, women are born to cry. In my interview, I am in charge of controlling the scene. You can use a few tears to deceive sympathy!"

Although Zhu Tianying's acting skills are not online, but as she said, you will always cry, right?

If there is no result in today's court trial, Cheng Lisha will have the confidence to rely on Zhu Tianying's second interview, relying on her influence to create public opinion again and put pressure on Ren's Pictures.

Not only that, even judges will worry about the influence of public opinion and speed up the conclusion of the case.

And once there is no conclusive evidence, and the prosecution cannot prove that Zhu Tianying was a subjective murder, then Zhu Tianying can only be acquitted.

Until then...

Lisa Cheng smiled.

Because Zhu Tianying not only paid her a lot of money, but also promised to hand over part of the shares of Ren's Films to her after the matter was completed.

With a total value of 60 billion, Ren's Pictures, even if given a small portion of stock, would be worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

Both Cheng Lisha and Heizu helped Zhu Tianying because of this.

After all, money touches people's hearts...

Defense seats.

Zhu Tianying sat down with the "Left and Right Protectors", and the three of them looked extremely confident.

"Lawyer Hu, Lawyer Jiang, can we end today?"

"Of course, Ms. Zhu, the prosecution has no witnesses. The next step is for the defense to make a move. Once the right to speak is in our hands, the case will basically be over!"

Seeing that Zhu Tianying was still a little apprehensive, Hu Yaode naturally expressed comfort.

As long as the prosecution does not speak, the defense can play whatever it wants.

If the prosecution really had decisive evidence, it would have been used in Tuesday's trial.

Up to now, there is no new evidence. It can only explain one thing. The prosecution can't find any solid evidence to prove that Zhu Tianying murdered Ren Xinwei.

So, Hu Yaode didn't even know how he was going to lose...

He and Jiang Fengzhen looked at each other, and they both smiled.

Once this case is won, both of them will have the record of defeating the prosecutor of the local prosecutor's headquarters.

Although the opponent is a rookie prosecutor, that also represents the headquarters of the local prosecutor.

Blackfoot's reputation will be raised to another level, and they will also get a share in Ren's Films, which is a real huge sum of money.

Thinking of what they could get after today, the corners of Hu Yaode's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Zhang Wei, I want to see what kind of waves you can find today!"

After all, the advantage now lies with their black feet.

This is a murder case. As long as there is no conclusive evidence, the judge will tend to infer innocence based on reason, public and private.

As long as there is no conclusive evidence...

if only……

...

At 2 o'clock, it's court time.

The 12 jurors entered the arena one after another.

None of their faces were very good-looking.

On the one hand, it is because before entering the court, one needs to be baptized by the "melon-eating crowd" at the door, which is unavoidable.

On the other hand, they haven't been home for several days. Although they have all their food and lodging at the hotel, they have been isolated for many days and can only talk to their families for a few minutes a day. Anyone's mentality will be affected.

"Everyone stand up, and the respected Judge Ni is invited to enter the arena!"

After the jury was seated, the judge also came.

"Both the prosecution and the defense..."

As soon as Ni Qiuping arrived, she didn't even take a seat, and beckoned directly to the prosecution and defense bench.

Jiang Fengzhen and Tan Yingying got up immediately, but Ni Qiuping gave them a hard look, and then gave Zhang Wei and Hu Yaode a look or two.

Her meaning is already obvious, so the subordinates should not come up, I want to talk to someone who can talk.

Zhang Wei and Hu Yaode understood immediately, got up and walked to the trial seat, and at this time Ni Qiuping just took his seat.

"Lawyer Zhang, Lawyer Hu, do you know why I called you two to come up?"

Zhang Wei and Hu Yaode did not speak.

"Because I know that Jiang Fengzhen and Tan Yingying are not the ones who really make the decisions. Of course, I will skip them and talk to you about serious matters!"

When Ni Qiuping said this, she glanced at the two of them and said, "Listen, this case made me almost depressed. You know how terrible it is for a 40-year-old woman to suffer from depression during menopause." something?"

"Also, I held a civil court this morning. Originally, I hated the civil court because I had to listen to two groups of people arguing mindlessly in court. I thought it was a waste of time to scold my mother for trivial matters. But to be honest, since the leader arranged to take over this case, I suddenly found that the civil court is quite good, I think those plaintiffs who cursed people in court made me feel a little cute..."

"I can tell you both now that after this case is over, I want to go back to civil court and swear off this depressing criminal case for the rest of my life."

Ni Qiuping rubbed her forehead, "Go down now, I'm tired, hurry up!"

Both Zhang Wei and Hu Yaode didn't say anything, but took their positions on their own.

They knew that Ni Qiuping was just complaining. As a judge, she still needs to abide by professional ethics.

However, she also disclosed the news that the case was under great pressure, not only from public opinion, but also from the high-level officials of the city court.

And these pressures are what Hu Yaode wants to see.

What's more, a lot of pressure was created by him and his companions in order to create an advantage for his own side in this case.

"This court announces that the prosecution's case against Zhu Tianying for the murder of Ren Xinwei is now officially open!"

After Judge Ni hammered the hammer to announce, he looked at the prosecution seat, "Prosecution, do you have any witnesses to call?"

"My lord, the prosecution has no witnesses to call, now end the opening statement and let the defense testify!"

"Understood!"

Judge Ni had expected it, and waved impatiently at the defense.

Now the stage is handed over to you, it's crazy!

Jiang Fengzhen got up immediately and announced: "Your Honor, the defense summoned the defendant Zhu Tianying to testify in court!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

It's a big move from the very beginning!

But this is not beyond everyone's expectations.

Because for the defense, as long as it can be proved that Zhu Tianying did not intend to kill Ren Xinwei, but was negligent in self-defense, then the trial will definitely be beneficial to the defense.

Therefore, the defense does not need to call other redundant witnesses, as long as the defendant can testify in court.

After all, the less you speak, the longer and fewer mistakes you make, and the less likely you will be caught by the prosecution.

As long as the defense does not make fatal mistakes, it is almost impossible for the prosecution to convince 12 jurors.

In the criminal court, to decide whether the defendant is guilty, 12 jurors must reach a consensus!

In the absence of conclusive evidence, this is almost impossible to do.

So the defense doesn't need to be fancy, as long as Zhu Tianying is on the witness stand and tells a story as a victim, that's about it.

She doesn't even need to make 12 jurors sympathize with herself, she only needs to convince one or two of them to be invincible.

Under the attention of the audience, Zhu Tianying slowly walked onto the witness stand.

It can be seen that she is still very weak, even with the most advanced treatment facilities and the best doctors, her injuries have not fully recovered.

At this moment, Zhu Tianying, even if she was sitting there, could attract the sympathy of many people.

Naturally, Jiang Fengzhen could also see this, so she didn't ask questions right away.

Instead, she waited for Zhu Tianying to adjust her sitting posture before speaking at the right time.

"Miss Zhu, thank you very much for your testimony in court. We all know that your injury has not healed, so I also hope that my answer will not make you too embarrassed."

"Don't worry, my heart has become strong enough, and I won't be hit by any small difficulties!"

As Zhu Tianying said, she took a special look at the prosecutor's seat.

"Hehe, this woman is good at acting!"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Wei smiled inwardly.

Could it be that for the past few days, Zhu Tianying has been staying in the rehabilitation center with nothing to do, so she actually improved her acting skills.

Just that one glance alone contains three points of unyielding, three points of strength, three points of provocation, and a trace of innocence. A woman who has been wronged but unwilling to accept her fate and is about to fight to the death is vividly interpreted.

If you had this acting skill before, you wouldn't need to follow Ren Xinwei, you would be able to earn tens of millions of dollars.

"Pity……"

Zhang Wei sneered in his heart, and decided to take a good look at how far Zhu Tianying's "performance" had improved.

"Miss Zhu, can you please tell us what happened that night?"

"certainly!"

Zhu Tianying nodded, and then recalled: "My deceased husband Ren Xinwei, he was a very hardworking but paranoid person..."

"On the one hand, he is the boss, major shareholder, and chairman of the board of directors of Ren's Pictures, but on the other hand, he is also a man, and a very domineering man."

"That day, I remember very clearly. He was on the phone in his office, as if he wanted to acquire a media company. The other party asked for 1.5 billion, but he only planned to bid 1 billion. Their conversation was very unpleasant."

"Just after he hung up the phone, I just walked into the office. He seemed to be very angry that day, and gave me orders in a very strong tone, ordering me to have sex with him, and he was in the office."

Speaking of this, a tear fell from the corner of Zhu Tianying's eye.

Her words also caused some members of the jury to shake their heads unconsciously.

The deceased, Ren Xinwei, was angry at work and wanted to vent his anger on his wife. He was simply not a man.

"It's a pity that I refused that day. In fact, I didn't expect this to happen because of my rejection. If I knew, I would definitely not refuse him."

Zhu Tianying's sobbing became more and more obvious, and she spoke with a crying tone.

After talking for a while, I had to take out a tissue and wipe away my tears.

She was regretting, why didn't she agree to Ren Xinwei at that time?

"High, really high!"

Seeing this scene on the witness stand, Zhang Wei no longer knew what to say.

Although I killed him, I was extremely remorseful, and made a gesture of self-blame, with so many tears.

Seeing this scene, as long as you don't really understand what happened, you will not be moved.

Zhang Wei didn't even need to look, knowing that the jury would be affected.

"Sure enough, only when it's about your own interests, can your acting skills soar. Women are born actors!"

Looking at Zhu Tianying who was leading the trial in court, Zhang Wei did not let Tan Yingying speak out to stop her.

Although the court is now biased in favor of the defense, but...

Once everyone sees Zhu Tianying's true face, the strong impact will have a better effect.

Therefore, the prosecution has to let the defense finish speaking, and it is best to let the defense mobilize all the emotions of the jury.

Only in this way can the jurors be even more angry after they find out that they have been completely deceived.

By that time, 12 votes will be considered guilty!

In court, Zhu Tianying continued to "tell stories".

"It's a pity that I rejected him that day and told him that I don't want myself to be a tool, I hope we can understand each other, feel each other's warmth, and then have sex, I prefer not only Bodies, our souls can also lean together."

"Unexpectedly, he refused, and his attitude was arrogant!"

Having said this, Zhu Tianying sobbed a bit, and then cried: "He also called me a slut, saying that I had raised a bad face outside, and he even picked up a murder weapon, intending to rape me and kill me!"

"I still remember what he said to me, he said he was going to kill me, kill me a bitch, and then he..."

At this moment, on the witness stand, only a crying woman could be seen, a victim who was choked several times because of the storytelling.

"As expected of an actor, the jurors have completely turned against us!"

On the defense table, the corners of Hu Yaode's mouth became more and more upturned.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the jury, and saw that more than half of the people were moved by Zhu Tianying's story, and even a few female jurors had moist eyes.

Hu Yaode's attention was locked on No. 1.

The actress, a juror of the part-time anchor, also seemed to be moved, and unconsciously raised her right hand to cover her mouth.

"Very good, very good, we will win this time!"

Seeing this, Hu Yaode knew that the wind direction of the court had completely turned to his side.

If the prosecution pursues Zhu Tianying fiercely in the future, then it will attract the jury's proposal.

As long as you are not afraid of death, then come on!

This time, our black feet will win a big victory!
