First-Class Lawyer - Chapter 208

[Chapter 206: The Shake Shack Weng Case (5)]

After the trace examination expert Golo left, Gaunt immediately invited a new witness, eager to give Gu Yan a counterattack.

So much so that he didn’t even notice that his best rhythm had been disrupted, and the entire court trial began to follow Gu Yan’s unique rhythm.

The witness was a middle-aged man, slightly fat, with swollen eyes. Without exaggerated expressions, he seemed a little lackluster, and it could be seen that he did not exercise often.

He was a road keeper in the Emerald Valley, and his name was Matthew Crow.

Gaunt took a deep breath, stood up and nodded to Matthew Crow, asking, “Is that Mr. Crow?”

“It’s me,” Matthew Crow said slowly.

Maybe it’s because of the lack of expression and the dragging tone, he feels a little arrogant.

But Attorney Gunter didn’t mind.

As long as he can add leverage to his arguments, he doesn’t mind what he says.

“Are you a road keeper in the Emerald Valley?” Gaunt smiled. “Would you like to give us a general introduction to your work?”

Matthew Crow said, “Yes. As we all know, the Emerald Valley of Helan Star is rainy and rainy. It’s shaking, it’s extremely humid. To what extent? Even the energy pool can’t handle it, and the two ends fail every three days, so that the monitoring devices in our area always fail. My duty is to stay in the duty booth and watch the whole day. If there is a simple failure of the energy pool, I can repair it, and I can report for repairs in time if it is a big trouble, and it also has the role of manual monitoring.”

“That is to say, you can see all the cars passing by that lane, right?” Attorney Gaunt refines the point and asks it again to make sure everyone knows.

Matthew Crow nodded: “Yes, that’s right.”

“On the day of the incident, September 19, what did you see?” Gaunt asked.

Matthew Crow did not hesitate: “A white Silver Leopard GTX3, coming from 013 Mountain Road.”

Gaunt asked: “Are there any other records? Like surveillance?”

Matthew Crow snorted: “I can only say that the defendant is very shrewd, he chose rainy days, knowing that the damn surveillance will always come out at that time. Malfunction, so there is no other record.”

Gaunt nodded: “Where does this mountain pass lead?”

“It leads directly to the abandoned warehouse on the west side of Emerald Valley.”

“Can it lead to other places?”

Matthew K. Lao thought for a moment, then curled his lips: “Originally, it could lead to other places, but before that, a heavy rain caused a landslide on the mountain road ahead, blocking the way to continue, so I passed my duty booth, the only destination I could go to. Only the warehouse. Um…or go back the same way.”

“Is there any other road nearby that leads to Site 7, which is the warehouse?” Attorney Gaunt asked.

“There are originally, just come from the other direction.” Matthew Crow may feel that the question is a bit silly, and said angrily: “But as I said just now, the landslide, the other side is blocked, and only this one is left. “Okay .

” Attorney Gunter nodded and asked again: “When did you see that Silver Leopard GTX3?”

“Passed under the duty tower at 5:15 in the evening and drove to the warehouse, four hours later. , leaving at 9:10 at night,” said Matthew Crow.

Gaunt nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the jury, and said politely: “I will take the liberty to repeat, the evidence presented initially mentioned that the time of the crime at scene 7 can be accurate to the night of September 19th. From 7:00 to 7:00. In other words, the time the Silver Leopard GTX3 stayed was long enough to complete the entire infringement process.”

He paused for a while, and then brought over the conversation between Gu Yan and Goluo before, “Also, the defendant also There is plenty of time to stay on site and take your time to appreciate your masterpiece.”

After speaking, he turned out another trace inspection report, cast it on the holographic screen, marked all the key words in red, and showed them clearly to everyone: “In order to understand the entire case process smoothly, I keep this trace inspection report. At this time, the testimony of Mr. Crow was presented. This is the car that the traffic police found on a certain section of the 013 Mountain Road three days after the incident.”

Gaunt said “ah” and added: “It is worth emphasizing that the following three It never rained again, and the traffic police at the time didn’t realize that the car was related to a bigger case. But that’s not the point, the point is that this car was abandoned in the woods by the roadside, the model is Silver Leopard GTX3, the car Defendant Horace Ji’s hair and clothing fibers were detected inside.” The

huge holographic screen displayed several pictures of the vehicle one after another.

“Okay, here’s my inquiry.” After showing everything, Attorney Gaunt sat back.

He leaned back in his chair and looked at the defense bench in a relaxed manner.

This round of evidence did not have anything to do with Defendant No. 1. Lawyer Dean was happy to see it succeeded, and immediately got up and said, “I have no problem.”

So the audience’s eyes again focused on Gu Yan.

The judge raised his hand, and Gu Yan stood up.

On the holographic screen, the abandoned Silver Leopard GTX3 was not put away, and was still displayed to everyone without reservation, as if to constantly remind everyone that this car belonged to Horace Ji, and it was at the scene at the time of the incident. .

When Gu Yan got up, his eyes calmly focused on those photos, paused for a moment, and then pulled it back steadily.

He looked at Matthew Crowe, nodded politely as a greeting, and then asked in a low voice, “You said just now that your job is to stay in the duty booth and stare at Valley Drive all day, right?”

“Yes ? .”

“Rotation system?”

“Yes, I and another colleague work in two shifts.”

Gu Yan: “The specific shift time?”

“Usually one person comes in the morning and is on duty until the evening, and then another person from the evening to the morning. The specific time is not fixed, and many situations have to be taken into account. After all, it often rains there and there are often earthquakes.”

“Then the case What’s your duty time on the day of the dispatch?”

“From 2 pm to 6 am the next day. It was forecast to rain later that day, so I arrived early.” Crowe said.

“Will there be anyone else beside me during the shift?”

“No, it’s just me.”

“You were on duty for a long time that day, did you fall asleep due to fatigue in the middle of the shift?” Gu Yan asked.

Matthew Crowe denied it almost immediately: “No!”

“Don’t sleep at night?”

Matthew Crowe denied it again: “No, I didn’t sleep.”

Gu Yan looked at him quietly for a moment, and then looked back.

“September 19th, it’s been more than 3 months now, can you make sure that the memory of that day is complete and clear?” He changed the subject and continued to ask: “Is it possible to remember the wrong date and time? Or confused with a day before and after?”

Matthew Crowe sneered and raised his eyebrows. Those swollen eyes that were always inactive actually showed an aggressive taste: “Mr. Lawyer, you may have misunderstood the situation in the Emerald Valley. Not many people pass by there in a year, and you can count them with two hands. His tone was a bit choking and a bit sarcastic: ”

How about you stare at the same thing every day, if you see a living person every thirty or fifty days, is it possible to remember the wrong date? If you forget it every three or five years, it’s fine. It’s only been a few months, how could I not be able to remember? Or do you think there is a serious problem with my memory ability, so I just turned my head and forgot?”

Gu Yan was choked for such a period, without showing any emotion, he just clicked Nod to show understanding.

He remained calm, turned his eyes down a page of information, and then calmly asked the next question: “The previous witness, Mr. Golo, even mentioned in your speech just now, did it rain on the day of the crime? ”

Yes,” replied Matthew Crow.

“I also checked the weather records of the day, and the records show that there were two rains that day?” Gu Yan asked.

Matthew was stunned for a moment, but quickly replied: “In the evening, I started to get off around four o’clock and went down until the evening. The car stopped not long after it left, about 9:20? Midnight again? The next one.”

“It’s raining a lot?”

“It’s very heavy, and the wind is also strong, blowing diagonally, and the window glass of the duty booth was beaten for a full five hours, and I was worried that it would be broken.” Showing that he did remember very clearly, he described a few more sentences.

Gu Yan finally raised his eyes from the document: “Then I have a question.”

“What?”

“You said with great certainty before that the car you witnessed on the day of the crime was a white silver leopard, and the model was even accurate to GTX3. Please. Tell me, how did you see the model through the rainstorm within seconds of the car passing by?”

Matthew Crow was stunned for a moment, then raised his voice: “My job is to see the road! I work For nearly 60 years, I have been staring at passing cars every day for 60 years. To be honest, I no longer need to rely on my eyes! Just by listening to the sound of the engine, combined with the general outline, I can even close my eyes and know what model of car it is. Experience is enough to do this.”

Gu Yan was noncommittal after hearing this.

He just threw away the page of information in his hand, looked at Matthew Crowe, and said, “Then you may need to explain it again.”

“Explain what?” Crowe was almost anxious by his question.

Gu Yan called up the court record that was being updated simultaneously, displayed it on the holographic screen, pulled up a few lines, and drew one of the words, “Three minutes ago, you just said that I may have misunderstood the situation in the Emerald Valley. Not many people pass by there in a year, you can count them with both hands, and you see a living person every 30 to 50 days. According to this frequency, with all due respect, most of the people here have seen cars that you have worked for 60 years. I ‘ve lived a lot.”

“Excuse me, where is your experience?”
