Lu Ming did not expect that Cheng Lingyu would arrange the most critical second half of the journey for him.

He must have thought about it for a long time. When he cross-examined Katsura Ayaka, he must have made up his mind to make the other party look bad instead of himself.

Maybe it’s because I thought of most of the strategies myself, and I should have more experience in the second half of the journey.

Seeing his encouraging eyes that only he could see, Lu Ming could only nod lightly, stand up, and ask to question Uncle Wang's testimony.

There was no one on the witness stand.

Lu Ming walked up to face the jurors, "Although Uncle Wang's testimony was not classified as hearsay evidence, this does not mean that his testimony is true or credible. Please pay attention to this, jurors."

"Objection!" Shan Jingfan stood up, "Objection to the defense's groundless questioning of the confession taken by the police."

Lu Ming nodded: "What I said is well-founded. Uncle Wang, in his confession, he described the killing of the children in too much detail. This is simply impossible!"

Shan Jingfan stood up again and said, "I object. I have studied relevant cases. Many perverted murderers remember their murders very clearly."

Lu Ming looked at him: "But, in Uncle Wang's confession, almost every child was killed in the same way. They were all pushed to the ground and stabbed to death. I think serial murderers would think that killing is

An art..."

"Objection, object to the prosecution's speculative definition!"

Lu Ming frowned and looked at him: "Barrister Shan Jingfan, do you think Uncle Wang's confession is credible?"

"Based on the current evidence, there is no doubt about it!" Shan Jingfan nodded.

Lu Ming looked at Feng Xuefan, "In court, the prosecution requests to summon witness No. 21!"

Witness No. 21 is Professor Wen Zaixuwen, Royal Academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences.

Shan Jingfan smiled inwardly, this must be a trapped beast still fighting, this Professor Wen came up with a way to detect the blood stains in the basement.

But the problem is, I still don’t deny that those stains in the basement are human blood.

Moreover, what he recognized was that Uncle Wang killed someone and left blood stains.

Professor Wen is a powerful figure in the scientific community, but what can change if he goes to court and talks nonsense?

Probably not many of the jurors knew who he was and what his status was in the scientific community. Who was he trying to scare?

On the witness stand, Professor Wen was still wearing a white coat, with long gray hair disheveled, in the style of a scary doctor.

"Professor Wen, I heard that you brought us a set of experiments today, right?" Lu Ming stepped forward and asked.

"Yes!" Wen Zaixu looked at Lu Ming impatiently, with a don't talk nonsense expression on his face. However, he still knew that the matter was of great importance, and the court was also a solemn place, so he was not too willful.

Lu Ming looked at Feng Xuefan, "Your honor, I request that the lights be turned off and a short video of a scientific experiment be played!"

Shan Jingfan stood up immediately: "Objection! I don't know the prosecution's intention!"

Feng Xuefan waved to the two of them, and when they walked over, Feng Xuefan looked at Lu Ming with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Your Honor, this experiment of mine is of extremely important significance to this case. If after watching the video, you feel that it is a waste of the court's time, I am willing to accept the punishment!"

Feng Xuefan nodded and said to Shan Jingfan: "Let's take a look."

Shan Jingfan was helpless because Professor Wen Zaixu was on the prosecution witness list from the very beginning, so the other party did not conduct a surprise attack, but he inquired about it and found out that the technique for detecting blood stains in the basement was invented by Professor Wen.

of.

Putting Professor Wen on the witness list should be a routine matter for the prosecution, and it may also be necessary to start applying for a search warrant.

But I didn't expect that the other party had some experimental short film.

I don’t know what to do, so I can only take a look first and then talk about it.

Soon, a large number of staff moved in the heavy projector and set up a small snow-white curtain with brackets.

In the courtroom, all the lights were quickly turned off and all the thick curtains were drawn.

Including the jurors, although there were few who had never gone to the movies, many of them were curious to see how a movie was screened live for the first time.

Soon, images appeared on the screen, but there was no sound.

Today's movies have passed the silent film era, but there are no cameras that can truly record sound at the same time. It is necessary to use tapes to record dubbing separately and play it simultaneously with the film.

And this short film obviously does not require dubbing.

Inside, he saw a young man. Opposite him was something like a torture rack with a human-shaped mold tied to it.

Shan Jingfan's eyes immediately froze, and he immediately realized the problem. This room was very similar to the basement where the crime occurred. The torture rack was exactly the same as the one in the photo. It was placed in exactly the same position. The humanoid mold was tied to the torture rack.

The pose on the stand is exactly the same as the boy in the photo, the model is about the same size as the boy, and the young man holding the knife is about the same body shape as Masaichi Kato.

At this time, I saw the young man stabbing him with a knife. The order, posture, and the parts where he stabbed were exactly the same as in the photo.

The model quickly sprayed out red blood, some sprayed onto the wall, some spilled on the ground, and even more dripped, forming a small pool of blood next to the execution rack.

The camera zooms in, showing the shapes of these blood stains bit by bit in slow motion.

Shan Jingfan frowned, feeling vaguely uneasy.

Then, the camera flashed, showing the same young man, torture rack and model again, but the scene was clean. Obviously, the experiment was restarted.

After repeating the young man's behavior about a dozen times and showing the blood traces left by the surrounding scenes at close range, the short film ended abruptly.

Soon someone opened the curtains and turned on the lights. The lighting in this courtyard was not very good, so the lights needed to be turned on during the day.

But the tools and the like were not taken out, and they could obviously be useful.

"Professor Wen, how many times have you conducted this experiment?" Lu Ming asked.

"More than a hundred times!"

Lu Ming turned to Feng Xuefan, "In court, I request that the final photos of the results of more than a hundred experiments be presented to the court."

Shan Jingfan stood up immediately: "Objection, your honor, Professor Wen Zaixu is a witness, and what we hear should be his testimony. The prosecution has been concealing the purpose of these experiments and experimental results. I request

The trial is temporarily adjourned and the prosecution will explain to us what their experimental intentions are. Moreover, it is also doubtful whether this evidence can be presented in court!"

Lu Ming looked serious, "Your honor, Professor Wen, as our expert witness, has long been included in the witness list. The experiment he provided may be an important experiment that changes the history of criminal investigation in the empire. I hope that he can give a complete explanation in court.

Show, as for whether the experimental results will be accepted in the end, the wise judge and wise jurors will naturally give wise answers!"

Feng Xuefan pondered, looked at Professor Wen again, finally nodded, and looked at Lu Ming: "Okay, but if your experimental results are to make a fuss and use Professor Wen's reputation to cause trouble, I will sentence you to contempt of court!"

"Thank you, your honor!" Lu Ming bowed slightly.

Shan Jingfan gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

Soon, a thick stack of photos was sent to the judge's bench and the jury's bench, and a copy was also sent to the defense bench.

Shan Jing Fan already roughly knew what it was, gritted his teeth, picked up the photo and slowly opened it.

Lu Ming waited quietly. Seeing that everyone was confused, some jurors were already impatient. They didn't know what they were doing looking at these bloody photos, and there were more than a hundred of them.

"Your Honor, fellow jurors, you can see that if I say that the traces of blood splatter in these photos are similar, everyone should agree, right?"

Since no one would answer him, Lu Ming made a gesture and a staff member came forward and began to hang a photo on the snow-white screen.

The first photo is a fluorescent mottled photo, and the rest are photos of experimental blood and water splashing.

"Look, do these brightest fluorescent traces look very similar to these simulated blood stains?"

The jurors and Feng Xuefan both looked over and found that indeed, the mottled fluorescent traces were very similar to the simulated blood splatter traces.

"Professor Wen, why is this? Can you explain it?" Lu Ming looked at Wen Zaixu.

Wen Zaixu looked like he was drowsy from waiting. Then he opened his eyes and said, "Why? The photo of the murderer is real. This experiment can prove that that kid Kato committed the murder!"

Lu Ming was helpless. He originally wanted to prepare a testimony with him, but he said nothing was needed. He wanted to change the witness and use the senior doctor who worked with Professor Wen as the witness. The doctor should be well-groomed and virtuous.

It requires professionalism and adaptability, not to mention.

As a result, Old Man Wen immediately turned his back and scolded him for not being a thing. He was trying to burn bridges. There was something fun to do, and the old man tried his best to help you play. At the end of the day, you don't want me anymore. Are you a human being?

The doctor was also a little afraid of Professor Wen, so in the end, he had to use Professor Wen. There was no need to update the witness list, which was a small advantage.

Over there, Shan Jingfan stood up immediately, "Objection! Objection to the witness slandering my client for no reason!"

"Boy, sit down first, sit down!" Professor Wen gestured as if he was the conductor in this courtroom, and looked at the jury box, "You guys, there are a few of you who are enlightened, let me tell you,

It’s really strenuous, but I have to say, it’s boring to death!”

Lu Ming smiled bitterly, he could not oppose his own witness.

Shan Jing Fan originally wanted to object, but seeing the old man's arrogant attitude as if all the people sitting there were rubbish, he thought about it and sat down slowly.

Moreover, on the judge's bench, Feng Xuefan was drinking water with his head down, pretending not to see the old man's performance.

If you object to it yourself, it will definitely be ineffective.

"The photo you see with the fluorescent reaction was taken in the basement of Kato's house. The brightest part of the fluorescence is the last blood stain. The poor child in the photo was the last one killed by that guy.

people……"

Shan Jingfan stood up immediately, and it was obvious that Feng Xuefan waved to him, indicating that he should quickly let him finish speaking, and then use your strength when you cross-examine him.

Shan Jingfan gritted his teeth and sat down again.

But the old man suddenly stared at him, "It's okay. If you come, I will say that he is a murderer. If you object, right? I will explain it clearly to you!"

"But you kid, you have some brains. Just by looking at your eyes, I know you understand what I'm doing. These jurors are just a bunch of fools. Only you can fool them. You kid, you always joke in your heart that they are fools."
