Chapter 40 Reversal of the Verdict: Getting Evidence
Mu Mian looked at Fang Rui with wide eyes, "Fang Rui, you just told me not to hire a hacker. Are you teaching me to do bad things now?"
Chen Xue was also surprised. Fang, who was always in charge, was actually instigating Mu Mian to break the law?
Fang Rui patted Mu Mian's head and corrected her: "Mu Mian, it is very common for computers to be infected with viruses. This is common sense. It was Mr. Yu's computer that was infected with a virus. What does it have to do with us?"
Mu Mian nodded, "I understand. It is not illegal to be infected with a virus!"
You don't understand! Chen Xue realized that Fang Rui was a little bit mean.
"Mianmian, ask your friend to add some horror music." Chen Xue said, "This will set off the atmosphere."
"No problem." Mu Mian looked at them again, "Do you have any other needs? Tell me all at once, otherwise it will cost more money to add more requirements later."
Mu Mian immediately contacted her hacker friend with her encrypted email and told him her needs.
The other party said yes, but he had to pay more, the price doubled.
Mu Mian immediately transferred the money to him.
The other party replied that he would help when Yu Haibo was working overtime to modify the PPT late at night, so the effect would be better.
Chen Xue was surprised and said, "Mu Mian, you are so amazing. You even know hacker friends?"
"We met in a psychological mutual aid group. He became my friend because I was the only one willing to play air chess with him.
" "What is air chess?"
"There is no chessboard or chess pieces. You have to remember the positions of the opponent and yourself in your mind. It's very fun. Do you want me to play with you? But if I play with you, I can only play Gobang."
"No, no!"
Chen Xue was speechless. Mu Mian's friends were also so strange. She asked again, "How much did you spend to hire him?"
Mu Mian held up five fingers.
"Fifty thousand?"
Mu Mian shook his head.
"Five hundred thousand?"
Mu Mian continued to shake his head, "fifty US dollars. He said that Mr. Yu's computer didn't even have a firewall, and he got in at once, without any technical difficulty. But he still wanted to charge me. He was afraid that if he didn't charge, I would ask him for help every day!"
"Do you often ask him to help you hack into computers?"
"Of course not. Including this time, it's twice."
"Whose computer did you hack into last time?" Chen Xue glanced at Fang Rui who had returned to his seat, and whispered, "It wasn't Fang's,
was it?" Mu Mian nodded guiltily, "Yes. I want to know what Fang Rui likes?" Mu Mian added: "But he doesn't have any hobbies. There are only files in his computer, and his spiritual world is quite poor."
"..." Who still uses computers for entertainment now! Don't everyone play with mobile phones? But Chen Xue did not dare to remind Mu Mian, for she was afraid that Mu Mian would hack Fang Rui's phone again.
Late at night, Yu Haibo turned on his computer, intending to play a game to relax, but his computer suddenly froze and creepy music played.
Just when he wanted to shut down the computer, his computer was suddenly divided into many small screens, each of which was playing the video of Lu Tian being raped. Accompanied by gorgeous special effects, these screens also rotated magically.
He wanted to turn off the computer, but he couldn't. He was so anxious that he was sweating all over.
Ten minutes later, his computer finally returned to normal. The video file he deleted suddenly appeared on the desktop. The file was flashing all the time, and he couldn't ignore it.
He successfully lost sleep.
The next morning, he turned on his computer, and the same thing happened again.
He did not hesitate any more, sent the video to Nie Yan, and said that he could testify in court if necessary.
On the day of the trial, the sky was clear and the sun was shining.
Fang Rui, Mu Mian, Xiao Zhang, Chen Xue and others also went to the court to listen.
They learned from Mu Mian's hacker friend that Yu Haibo had sent the surveillance video to Nie Yan. So they all came to see how Lin Qianjie was thrown into prison.
"Fang Rui, thank you for coming to support us." Nie Yan saw Fang Rui and the others and came over to say hello.
Lu Tian put on makeup today and wore a white chiffon dress, looking very energetic. She didn't look nervous, and her whole person was relaxed, as if she was sure that she would win.
"Mr. Yu sent me the surveillance video, and he agreed to testify." Nie Yan held up the USB flash drive in her hand, her face full of confidence, "We will definitely win this case!"
This video was sent two hours before the trial, and Nie Yan quickly submitted new evidence. Originally, this was not in line with the procedure, but fortunately the clerk inside knew her and found a loophole in the procedure, allowing her to submit successfully. Otherwise, it would have to be submitted at the next trial.
After everyone arrived in the court, the presiding judge announced the opening of the court, and Lin Qianjie was brought to the defendant's seat. His expression was casual and casual, as if he was not in a court, but in a bar. After the presiding judge
conducted routine questioning of Lin Qianjie according to the procedure, the prosecutor Nie Yan read out the indictment.
Lin Qianjie's defense lawyer Wang Li immediately launched the defense: "The charges in the indictment are not established. My client and the plaintiff were in a romantic relationship and had had many intimate contacts before.
On the night of the incident, my client and the plaintiff were alone in a room and could not control their emotions. They had sex voluntarily.
Because my client did not promise to marry the plaintiff, the plaintiff falsely accused my client of forcing her, which is the plaintiff's slander of my client.
I have submitted the relevant evidence to the court."
The presiding judge had read the evidence provided by Lawyer Wang. He looked at Nie Yan: "Prosecutor, do you have any objection to these photos?"
"Yes!" Nie Yan took out one of the photos, in which Lu Tian and Lin Qianjie were wearing the same clothes, "Do the two people in this photo look like they are wearing couple outfits?"
Nie Yan took out another group photo, "But this piece of clothing is a T-shirt for an event. Everyone in this photo is wearing this clothing."
"The angles of these photos are very strange. For example, in this photo, neither the plaintiff nor the defendant is facing the camera, which is not in line with our photo-taking habits. It is reasonable to speculate that this was originally a group photo, but in order to take a picture of only two people, they had to take the photo from this angle." Nie Yan explained the other photos.
She concluded: "The defendant's lawyer attempted to mislead everyone with these photos and create the illusion that the victim and the defendant were in a romantic relationship."
Lawyer Wang then called other witnesses to the court.
The first person to appear in court was Lin Qianjie's female secretary.
"Our boss must be in love with Miss Lu. Miss Lu entered our boss' office that day. Our boss came out to assign me a task, and I saw lipstick marks on the boss's lips. They must have kissed, otherwise why would our boss have lipstick marks on his face?" "
When did this happen?"
"July 15th."
Nie Yan smiled, "The victim had cheilitis in early July, so she didn't use lipstick for most of that month, so the lipstick marks on your boss' face, what does it have to do with the victim?"
"I..."
"Objection! This is verbal misleading." Wang Li interrupted Nie Yan's question.
"The objection is valid. Prosecutor, please produce relevant evidence." said the chief judge.
"The victim mentioned that she suffers from cheilitis in her debut video. She does it every day, and she didn't wear lipstick in her recent debut videos."
The next person to testify was the cleaner from Lu Tian's community: "I saw Mr. Lin coming out of Miss Lu's house."
Nie Yan asked, "How many times have you seen him?"
"Two or three times?"
"You usually clean the corridor between five and seven in the morning. So do you see Mr. Lin every morning?" Nie Yan asked.
"Yes."
"If the defendant and the victim were a couple, why did he leave my client's house so early in the morning?" Nie Yan looked at the chief judge, "The victim once lost a key. I suspect that the key was picked up by the defendant. He used the key to sneak into the victim's house and created the illusion that he and the victim were living together."
Nie Yan refuted each piece of evidence presented by the defendant's lawyer with reason and evidence.
However, this rebuttal was not strong enough, and the case fell into a Rashomon state, and neither side could prove the truth of the matter.
"Chief Judge, I have submitted a new piece of evidence, which is a surveillance video."
