There were three witnesses. One was a man surnamed Zhang, the manager of Liyou Hotel. He saw with his own eyes Qin Shuimei and Huang Guangming entering Room 801 at the same time before the incident. The two had an argument before entering. However, his testimony was not valid.

It is considered powerful, because it is not at the scene of the first crime, and it cannot be proved that it was Qin Shuimei who killed Huang Guangming.

The second witness is another groom's 'beautiful'. Before Huang Guangming and Qin Shuimei entered the room, she had received a foreign friend in Room 801. However, before Huang and Qin entered the room, the foreign friend had already pulled up his pants.

It's time to leave. Because of drug addiction, 'Beauty' hid in the bathroom and smoked drugs. When she had enough addiction and walked out of the bathroom, she vaguely saw the two arguing and having physical contact, and vaguely saw Huang Guangming.

Qin Shuimei was standing in front of the window when she fell from the window. The reason why she said "vague" is because she had taken a lot of drugs at the time and was not very clear.

The third witness is a certified public accountant. This is the most credible of the three witnesses and will also be the most powerful witness for the prosecution. He lived opposite the window of Room 801 of the Liyou Hotel. At that time, he was preparing for insomnia due to insomnia.

He opened the window to let some air in, so he could clearly see the process of Huang Guangming's fall; but because his home was on the seventh floor, one floor lower, he only saw two people fighting in the window of 801 before Huang Guangming fell.

Then I saw the deceased falling from the window, and then I saw Qin Shuimei standing in the window, pushing out from the inside with one hand!

The chain of evidence formed by the testimonies of these three witnesses may indeed allow the jury to convict Qin Shuimei of murder. But Zhou Yi clearly knew that Qin Shuimei was not the murderer. There should be another person in room 801 at that time. This person may be related to that person.

He knew the drug-addicted woman, or had some relationship with Qin Shuimei, or had a grudge against the deceased Huang Guangming. He just couldn't figure it out. The drug-addicted woman might not have seen this person because of her confusion, or she might have mistaken this person.

He looked like Qin Shuimei; Qin Shuimei was sober, so why did she hide it for this person? Huang Guangming's theory that he fell from the building was untenable. He had already judged that Qin Shuimei had lied on this point.

What secret is hidden behind this?

He will definitely ask Qin Shuimei about this matter, hoping to find the real murderer. But as a defense lawyer, he will not put all his hopes on this matter. The police's forensic evidence did not find out what happened at that time.

There is a fourth person in room 801, which is worth pondering, enough to make Zhou Yi think about it...

The efficiency of the Xiangjiang police was very fast. In only half a month, Qin Shuimei's case was transferred to the Department of Justice. As expected, the Department of Justice was prepared to prosecute her for murder and did not consider manslaughter at all.

"Mr. Zhou, this time there is some trouble. The prosecutor is Senior Prosecutor Sun Yuqing. This guy is a mad dog. If he bites you, he will not let go..."

Ma Ming called immediately. He learned that Zhou Yi's big lawsuit was half a joke, and he would not be a lawyer often in the future. Ma Ming's title was more casual.

"Oh, the Legal Department didn't find an outsourcer this time?"

There are two types of prosecutors in Xiangjiang, one is prosecutorial under the Department of Justice, and the other is outsourced. This is a measure taken by the Department of Justice in Xiangjiang to reduce expenses and save public funds. The "outsourced" people are as big as Zhou Yi.

Lawyer. Most of the time, he appears as a defense lawyer. When serving as an outsourcer, he acts as a prosecutor. He is not allowed to investigate the case on his own and has no contact with the defendant or the defendant's relatives. If an investigation is needed, it must be done through the police handling the case.

personnel.

Therefore, in the criminal proceedings in Xiangjiang, prosecutors are at a disadvantage. In their words, "defenders can take the initiative to investigate the case, and their fate is in their own hands; while they can only wait passively, and use whatever evidence the police provides."

What, the fate is in the hands of others." It is not easy to be a prosecutor in Xiangjiang.

In comparison, some outsourcers are accustomed to being defenders and are subconsciously better able to consider issues from the defender's perspective. For example, in murder cases. If the prosecution is outsourced, the defense lawyer will have a lot of power as long as he takes a certain initiative in the trial.

There is a good chance that you will negotiate with the prosecutor to plead guilty to manslaughter; but prosecutors from the Department of Justice like Sun Yuqing are different. They have been in the prosecutor's position for many years. They are all bad people in their eyes. In principle, they have to turn manslaughter into murder to show their ability.

So when Ma Ming found out that Sun Yuqing was the prosecutor, he was a little worried. Although Zhou Yi was known as a genius, this was his first case after all. It was difficult for Ma Ming to encounter such a difficult case and a sophisticated prosecution.

Have too much confidence in him.

"It doesn't matter who the prosecutor is, we are not fighting for manslaughter, we are fighting for innocence!"

Zhou Yi could understand Ma Ming's worries. After all, it was his first time working together. It seemed that he needed to be given some confidence.

"Are you so sure?" Ma Ming became even more worried after hearing this. Isn't this trainee just a big talker?

"Haha, just wait and see." Zhou Yi said with a smile: "Old Ma, please drive over and pick me up. Let's go to Liyou Hotel."

"Going to Liyou?" Ma Ming was stunned for a moment and then said: "It has been a week since the crime occurred. Is there any point in going to the crime scene at this time?"

"Of course there is, and it's of great significance." Zhou Yi chuckled. In fact, he read the transcript overnight after meeting Qin Shuimei that day, but he didn't go to the crime scene until today, just to prove his conjecture; and to prove this,

will affect the direction of his work in this case...

Mong Kok is the city that never sleeps in Kowloon and is also a famous shopping area in Hong Kong. Shopping malls and women's streets are prosperous and very popular. Therefore, in some movies that reflect the underworld in Hong Kong, this is a place where various gangs fight fiercely. It seems that

It is more chaotic than Africa. In fact, Xiangjiang is the safest area in Asia. It is not like what is described in some police and gangster movies, "At 12 o'clock at night in Mong Kok, even the police dare not take to the streets." This is too exaggerated.

The Liyou Hotel is called a hotel. It is actually a low-end hotel. However, because it is located near Nathan Road, the business is very hot. Of course, it refers to the 'kind' business. However, since the murder, there have been very few prostitutes~

When Zhou Yi and Ma Ming walked into the hotel, the manager Zhang Shui was sleeping on the old and worn counter, with saliva soaking half of his sleeves.

Zhou Yi knocked hard on the counter twice with his hand. Zhang Shui raised his head and rubbed his sleepy eyes: "What are you doing, looking for a woman?"

"You are so direct. Aren't you afraid that I am a policeman?"

"Tiaozi? Can Tiaozi afford such expensive clothes and ties? Boss, are you kidding..."

Zhang Shui chuckled: "Both bosses, they have all kinds of women they want. Sister, lolita or wife? Uniforms or scenario packages? We have whips and candles..."

"You know Qin Shuimei, right?" Zhou Yi frowned and was too lazy to talk to this turtle. He directly took out a business card and threw it to him: "I am her defense lawyer..."

"Lawyer?" Zhang Shui shook his head repeatedly: "I don't know anything."

"No way? You are a witness for the prosecution, how could you not know anything?" Zhou Yi smiled slightly, took out a Hong Kong dollar of 500 yuan and handed it over: "Hong Kong law stipulates that defense lawyers are not allowed to harass the prosecution.

Witnesses, but Xiangjiang law also does not prohibit defense lawyers from having normal contact with prosecution witnesses. Do you think we have normal contact now?"

"Of course it's a normal contact. Barrister, you definitely didn't harass me..." Zhang Shui chuckled and collected the money: "What do you want to know?"

"On the day of the incident, apart from the deceased, Qin Shuimei and the drug-addicted woman, did anyone else enter Room 801? I want to hear the facts. You are not asked to lie. If you lie, it is obstructing justice. The responsibility lies with you.

bear."

Zhou Yi shook his phone and signaled to him that the recording function was on.

"Absolutely not." Zhang Shui answered firmly. The police had asked this question many times, so he didn't need to think about it at all.

"Okay. Thank you for your cooperation." It was obvious that Zhang Shui was not lying.

"Is there anyone in room 801 now? We need to go in and take a look." Zhou Yi took out another five hundred yuan.

"No, no, this room is the most luxurious one. How can those poor people afford it..." Zhang Shui chuckled, took out a key card and handed it to Zhou Yi: "You can look at it as long as you like.

.”

Room No. 801 is really the "presidential" suite of this "hotel", with its own luxurious bathroom, the overall decoration imitates European style, and there is even a fireplace on the wall.

There are windows in both the living room and the bedroom. However, the bedroom has floor-to-ceiling windows, and the lower frame of the living room window is about 1.2 meters from the ground. The reason is self-evident. Many guests have special hobbies and like to open the curtains on the sofa in the living room.

Looking for excitement, of course the window cannot be opened too low, otherwise how could such a strange window be opened in this luxury suite?

"Zhou Dazhuang..."

"Why don't you call him Mr. Zhou? I like it." When he arrived at the scene of the crime, Ma Ming seemed a little nervous, and his address became more formal. Zhou Yi smiled.

"Haha. Well, Mr. Zhou, what do you mean by your question just now? Do you think there will be a fourth person entering this room on the day of the crime?" Ma Ming looked around after entering the room, but the room had already been cleaned.

It's so clean that it's impossible to find anything.

"If I said that a fourth person must have entered here on the day of the crime, and he was the murderer, would you believe it?" Zhou Yi glanced at him and said with a smile.

"How is that possible? Mr. Zhou, you don't really think that the police's forensic forensics are all idiots, do you?" Ma Ming shook his head: "The quality of the Xiangjiang police is among the best in Asia, and the level of forensics is catching up with the United Kingdom and the United States.

, this is an undoubted fact.”

"hehe……"

Zhou Yi didn't say anything. He looked around the room, measuring the distance from the window to the sofa. Then he walked to the four corners of the living room and observed the room from different angles.

"Mr. Zhou, what are you doing?" Ma Ming was speechless. Isn't this guy crazy? He came here to pretend to be a detective? A solicitor's time is also very precious!

The fireplace was cleaned very clean. Zhou Yi searched carefully and finally picked up a trace of ashes from the cracks in the corners.

"Old Ma, it's spring now, and the weather in Xiangjiang is warm, but there are still ashes in the fireplace. Don't you think it's strange?"

"What does this have to do with this case?"

Ma Ming said angrily: "Yes, it's spring now, but couldn't these ashes be left over from winter? You wouldn't expect this small hotel to be cleaned like a five-star hotel, would you? There are ashes left in the corner of the fireplace.

A little ashes is normal."

"Yeah?"

Zhou Yi chuckled, looked over the fireplace, and then turned back and said: "But if I remember correctly, there was a lot of rain last winter. Xiangjiang is close to the sea, and the air is humid. It is impossible for such a small hotel to exist

Although drying equipment such as dryers are equipped with air conditioners, according to relevant information, air conditioners can only remove 40% of the moisture in the air..."

"This..." Ma Ming looked at him inexplicably: "Mr. Zhou, what exactly do you want to say?"

"Based on the above facts, if these furnace ashes were left last winter or this spring, they should be very moist and even turn into furnace mud. But look at these ashes..." Zhou Yi held up the ashes in his hand.

In front of Ma Ming, with a gentle blow, the ashes immediately flew away and disappeared: "These ashes are new, definitely not more than half a month old. In other words, there is a high possibility that these ashes were used in this murder case."

It only appeared after it happened!”
