Chapter 193: Court Opening



Bai Song has met some people who want to make friends with forensic doctors.

However, when it comes to forensic medicine, there are not many people whose first reaction is "doctor". Bai Song couldn't help but look at Fu Tong with a new eye.

Along the way, Bai Song did not discuss the case with Zhao Xinqiao and others, because logically Bai Song should avoid it. After all, the positions of both parties are currently opposing.

Although Bai Song is not the person in charge of this murder case now, and has not even been the investigating police officer of this case for a long time, he should still recuse himself according to the strict recusation system. So Bai Song only came to pick up Zhao Xinqiao, not to talk about the case or the follow-up, and just sent him to his residence.

Along the way, Bai Song could only talk about other things, but Fu Tong obviously lost interest in Bai Song. She no longer spoke no matter what Bai Song and Zhao Xinqiao talked about.

From beginning to end, tutor Zhang Mei did not speak a word. She just stared quietly out the car window. I don't know if it was due to her personality or her identity.

Bai Song didn't think too much about it. He was very happy to see Zhao Xinqiao. After chatting for a few words, he started talking about the judicial examination.

Bai Song learned very well. Although the questions he discussed were very simple in the eyes of Zhang Mei and Fu Tong, it was obvious that he had learned them with all his heart. This made Zhang Mei and Fu Tong have some good impression of Bai Song.

In their opinion, prosecutors, public prosecutors and judges all have a good level of legal knowledge, while the police are generally more "violent". The legal terms spoken by Bai Song made them feel very comfortable.

"With your level, I don't think the judicial examination will be difficult." Zhao Xinqiao said, "Although the judicial examination is more complicated, the two subjects that really require a thorough understanding are civil law and criminal law. It seems that you have put a lot of effort in these subjects recently."

"No, the more I learn, the less I know," Bai Song said, pursing his lips in embarrassment. "It's an exam-oriented education. I don't dare to learn some of the more profound theories. Not only does it make my head buzz, but I'm also afraid of writing nonsense during the exam."

"It's okay," Zhang Mei, who had been silent, suddenly said, "The examiners of the subjective questions are all experts. Just write down your thoughts as much as you can. If they make sense, you can get full marks for the subjective questions."

"Okay, thank you for your guidance." Bai Song drove without looking back, but he still heard a sense of calmness in Zhang Mei's tone. Could it be that this was one of the examiners?

The journey was not far, and after dropping them off at their residence, Bai Song drove away by himself. He was not worried about other problems of the three people, because this was actually Zhang Mei's third visit.

After all, as a defense lawyer, it is impossible for him to come only after the trial begins. He has to meet the suspect and read the case files in advance. However, it was indeed Zhao Xinqiao's first time here, and this was also the first time Bai Song went to meet him.

If everything goes well, this trial can be concluded in two days, which means the verdict can be made tomorrow. During this period, Bai Song is just a spectator and can do nothing.

After returning to his residence, Bai Song read a book for a while and then received a call from Ma Xi.

Scarface is missing.

Scarface? Bai Song was unable to react for a moment. Who was Scarface?

After chatting for a while, Bai Song remembered that he was one of the "four-man gang" in the Dabei Vegetable Market, the one selling dried fruits.

The person who broke the news was the market manager. The market recently started to update its surveillance. The market manager has a close relationship with the institute and will tell people there if there is anything. Recently, "Scarface" has not appeared for several days.

Originally, people in the market thought this was a good thing. Some even said that he thought his companions were caught by the police and fled for fear of being punished. However, everyone in the police station knew that Fei Ming and Fei Peng were just pig thieves. Scarface was not involved, so there was no need for him to run away without saying anything. However, the whereabouts of such people were uncertain, so the police station did not take them seriously.

But today, Dong Xiaoyun also came to the station and talked about this matter with the police officer on duty, so people could not help but take it seriously.

In other words, Scarface disappeared inexplicably in the past few days, took away his things, and his phone could not be reached.

Although Bai Song also found it strange, he didn't think much about it. He guessed that he was just timid and wanted to avoid the limelight. This kind of thing was quite common.

Early the next morning, Bai Song reported to the station and told Wang that he planned to attend the court session today. The leader had known about this matter for a long time, and the court had indeed invited the case-handling department to the scene, so Wang agreed immediately.

When Bai Song arrived, the trial had just begun and the court rules were still being read out. There were thirty or forty people sitting in the gallery, basically police officers and college students studying law. Bai Song also saw Wang Ruoyi's mother, Sun Xiaoruo.

This court hearing was an open trial, and Bai Song and Zhao Xinqiao sat together.

Zhao Xinqiao is not a defense lawyer, but she is also a member of the audience.

Zhao Xinqiao once asked Bai Song what he thought of Wang Ruoyi. Bai Song said he had no opinion and he was just acting in accordance with the law.

In fact, Bai Song really didn't have any specific ideas.

In fact, Wang Ruoyi is also a poor person, and Li is indeed not a good person, but his crime does not deserve the death penalty.

Moreover, in the same murder case, if the murderer uses such extremely cruel means as dismemberment, the court will basically sentence him to death with immediate execution, because such murderers are often cruel and ruthless and have extremely bad social impacts.

Basically, no famous lawyer wants to take this case because it is almost certain to fail.

Bai Song didn't know why Zhang Mei chose this place, but after all parties had made their statements, Bai Song understood Zhang Mei's argument - to defend a two-year reprieve from the death penalty.

Zhang Mei's main point is that the death penalty is not punishable. She believes that Wang Ruoyi is a first-time offender and an occasional offender. She is able to actively cooperate and confess. In addition, this case does have cause and effect. Li has indeed had a bad influence on Wang Ruoyi's family...

However, the prosecution's accusation was more hardcore, directly citing the law, arguing that Wang Ruoyi's behavior was serious and should be sentenced to death. In addition, the prosecution also pointed out that Wang Ruoyi tried his best to avoid investigation after the incident, did not surrender himself, and did not confess to his father Wang Qianyi's smuggling behavior, which was a bad attitude.

During the statement stage, both sides used very precise and harsh words, basically giving Wang Ruoyi no chance to speak.

This case is quite special because Li's family members did not come. The court issued several subpoenas, which were mailed to Li's parents through several procedures. It is said that Li's parents said: "If you don't want to send money, don't send these useless things."

There was no real representative from the victim's side, Wang Ruoyi remained silent, and the judge believed that neither side was being too radical, so he just sat there quietly and listened to the arguments between the prosecution and the defense.
