"Hello, respected presiding judge, and fellow judges. Regarding the speculation raised by the plaintiff's attorney that my client and another suspect, Chen Mo, committed premeditated murder, I would like to refute the following.

First, my client never contacted Chen Mo before the incident. It was Chen Mo who took the initiative to go to the police station to find my client and followed him all the way to the hotel to beg for help. All the police officers of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Public Security Bureau can prove this.

Second, the time and place for the meeting with the deceased were determined by Chen Mo, who only notified my client over the phone. To be cautious, my client was accompanied by the current captain of the criminal investigation team.

If my client had really planned to kill someone with Chen Mo, why did they ask the criminal investigation team leader to go with them? Was You Fei also one of the accomplices? If not, this logic does not hold true if she had planned to kill someone.

Third, my client was not in the private room at the beginning. He rushed to the room after hearing the quarrel inside through the communicator. This can be proved by the information content and hotel surveillance.

The point I just mentioned is very important. A quarrel had already occurred, and the origin of the quarrel was not because of Chen Mo. It was after Butler Xu finished speaking that the deceased got angry first.

If the plaintiff suspects that Butler Xu was one of the premeditated murderers, and that he, together with my client and Chen Moxian, angered the deceased, then please produce evidence. If you cannot, it would be defamation.

Fourth, according to the surveillance footage, it took my client nearly two minutes from the time he sent the message to the time he arrived at the private room. During these two minutes, my client had no idea what happened in the room.

Two minutes may seem like a short time in daily life, but when a physical conflict occurs among multiple people, every second of delay may result in casualties.

According to the surveillance footage, the bodyguard standing at the door rushed into the room at almost the same time as my client left his seat, and then he entered the room and caused a fire due to an unextinguished cigarette butt.

At this point, Zhao Chengsu took out a photo and displayed it on the screen, then explained: "This is the private room next to the one where the crime occurred. The layout is exactly the same as the one where the crime occurred. According to the investigation, the fire started here.

Next to the carpet fire point was a door curtain hanging down to the ground, and further in front of it was a sofa. In the presence of flammable items, it only took 2-4 minutes for a cigarette butt to ignite and spread to the entire private room.

In other words, when my client entered the private room, the fire was already spreading rapidly. Because the fire started not far from the door, the people in the room were about to be trapped by the fire.

I would like to ask everyone in this court, in this situation, you entered such an environment, there was a fire inside, and there were people inside, even if there was someone you wanted to kill.

Would you be afraid that the fire wouldn't kill him, so would you risk being killed by the fire yourself and rush in to give him a fatal blow, or would you quickly escape on your own?"

After listening to Zhao Chengsu's question, everyone in the court looked at each other, and they already had the answer in their minds.

"I believe that most people would choose to escape quickly, and only a very small number would choose to rush in. But someone must be asking, why is my client one of the very few? What is her purpose?

If she was going in to kill someone, I would like to ask why it was necessary? Once the fire started, everyone inside would be burned to death, whether it was the person she wanted to kill or her accomplice, they would all die together.

Wouldn't this be a hundred benefits to her without any harm? So the idea of ​​rushing in to kill people was not valid in the first place. If it wasn't to kill people, then it was to save people.

I just said that before my client went to the private room, she sent a message to You Fei saying that she heard a quarrel in the room, and she went to the room because she was worried that something might happen, which corresponds to her wanting to go in and save people.

My client didn't know she was pregnant at the time. After inhaling the smoke, she became weak and exhausted due to carbon monoxide poisoning and her pregnancy reaction.

So, in this situation, how can I maintain my normal strength to deliver a fatal blow to the deceased? If I can, then my client is not just a woman, she is a superman. "

After Zhao Chengsu finished speaking, she heard several people in the audience laughing. At this time, the chief judge dropped the gavel and reminded everyone: "Silence."

After the silence settled, Zhao Chengsu looked at Chen Mo and asked, "I would like to ask the other suspect, what I just said was that you took the initiative to find my client, is this true?"

"Yes." Chen Mo replied.

"Why are you looking for her?"

Chen Mo looked at Lawyer Zhang. She didn't dare to speak nonsense in the court. She only answered when she saw Lawyer Zhang nodded.

"Because I was framed before, I was really scared. I knew that Forensic Doctor Xiao and her husband were both good people. I couldn't trust anyone else, so I found Forensic Doctor Xiao."

"Then did my client take the initiative to look for you before you went to look for her?"

"No."

"After my client rushed into the room, what did she say? What did she do?"

"When she rushed in, Meng Chang and I had already started fighting. She tried to stop the fight, and then she shouted that there was a fire and asked us to run. I wanted to run, but Meng Chang held me tightly, and I couldn't run away at all."

"Then I just said that my client went in to save people. Do you agree with my point of view?"

"Agree."

"She shouted at you to stop fighting and run away quickly because there was a fire. Who else can testify besides you?"

"Everyone in the room should have heard it, right?"

"Okay." Zhao Chengsu turned to look at the presiding judge, "Your Honor, in addition to my client and Chen Mo, there is also a bodyguard in the room who is currently awake. I implore you to allow this bodyguard to testify in court."

"Permission granted, bring the witness to court."

Afterwards, the bodyguard was brought up as a witness, and Zhao Chengsu asked, "Let me ask you now, do you know my client?"

The bodyguard looked at Xiao Tianruo and shook his head: "I don't know him."

"Never seen it before?"

“Never.”

"Okay." Zhao Chengsu explained, "When the fire started in the private room and it was in chaos, it was indeed difficult for someone to see the other person's appearance when he rushed in. It was normal that he didn't recognize my client. Then let me ask again, was there a woman who rushed in and shouted to you that there was a fire and asked you to leave quickly?"

"That's what happened."

Zhao Chengsu looked at Xiao Tianruo, and Xiao Tianruo repeated the words he shouted at them to run.

"Is that the voice?"

"Seems to be."

After hearing the bodyguard's answer, Zhao Chengsu said to the presiding judge: "Your Honor, I have finished asking my questions."
