clown face

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Fei Wenbo's face instantly.

"Do you know Shen Tao, the victim in this case?" Zhuang Chuming pressed again, "You must answer this question."

"I do not recognize."

As soon as his words fell, the court was in an uproar. Tang Anyao suddenly wanted to rush forward, but was held down by the policemen on both sides. He stared at Fei Wenbo, his eyes were red, and almost immediately wanted to rush up and bite him by the throat.

Fortunately, he quickly controlled himself. Before the judge got angry, he took a deep breath, took a step back, and nodded apologetically at the judge.

Seeing that he was still reasonable, the judge gave him a warning look, and then said: "Defence lawyer, go ahead, don't ask any more irrelevant questions."

"Yes, in court." Zhuang Chuming said, "Mr. Fei, you are lying. You have known the victim in this case for many years. You were both international students in a public middle school in Melbourne. You are in the same class as Shen Tao, right? "

Fei Wenbo remained silent with a gloomy face.

"There are few Chinese students in that middle school, and there are fewer Chinese students who are as smart and active as you. You are very famous. I just sent someone to inquire about it. Your teachers and classmates all remember you. Because of your relationship, everyone also remembers Shen Tao. Because Shen Tao was always following behind you at that time, he was thin and small and was often bullied, you have to take care of him because everyone is Chinese, right?"

"But why didn't you take care of it later? Let me guess, is it because Shen Tao snatched away the places recommended by famous universities?"

Fei Wenbo raised his head suddenly, his eyes were full of anger.

"Did I guess it?" Zhuang Chuming said, "So you don't want to go to university and go back to Hong Kong to join the entertainment industry. With your appearance, you can do well. You may even have dreams of movies, after all, you once I told the media that your dream is to play the lead actor in your favorite movie one day, right?"

Fei Wenbo gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I have this dream, is it ridiculous?"

"It's not ridiculous. A star who doesn't want to make a good movie is not a good actor." Zhuang Chuming said slowly, "You go to watch Tang Anyao's movies day and night, and attend the premiere of each of his movies. You use him as an example and want to arouse his attention. Pay attention, it is best to win his favor. You admire Tang Anyao so much, but what did Tang Anyao do? He actually refused you to act in his role..."

"No, I don't care if I play his role or not..."

"Then what do you care about? Do you care that the Tang Anyao you photographed is gay?"

"What I care about is how he can hook up with Shen Tao!" Fei Wenbo said angrily, "How can he have a relationship with Shen Tao..."

There was an uproar in the court, Fei Wenbo realized what he said, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Oh, it turns out that what you care about is not Tang Anyao's relationship with others, but his relationship with Shen Tao." Zhuang Chuming nodded knowingly, "The director you admire actually chose the old classmate you hate, the one who followed your ass back then The inconspicuous little tail at the back, especially if you have watched their sex videos, whoever it is, probably hurts your self-esteem."

He smiled slightly, and went further: "But no matter how much you hurt your self-esteem, you shouldn't kill Shen Tao yourself."

There was an uproar in the courtroom, the judge shouted for silence, the chief prosecutor stood up and objected loudly, but Fei Wenbo suddenly raised his head and stared at Zhuang Chuming in horror.

"So far, the evidence held by the prosecution, including physical evidence, can only prove that the scene of the crime was in my client's villa, but it cannot prove that the person who bought hydrofluoric acid, murdered, dismembered, and dissolved the corpse It is my client!" Zhuang Chuming said sonorously, "I have witnesses and evidence showing that Fei Wenbo went to Shenzhen a week before the incident and anonymously purchased a second-hand black car. After buying this car, Fei Wenbo will He drove all the way to the Xintian Chemical Distribution Center and bought a large amount of hydrofluoric acid. Although he wore a hat and mask, his height and description were there, so the boss who sold him the hydrofluoric acid laughed at him for being tall and like a star. That night, the security video installed at the door of Tang Anyao's neighbor's house showed that this mysterious black RV drove by and left around 04:30 in the morning, but unfortunately, until now, my staff has not been able to After finding the whereabouts of this car, I think this question can be asked directly to Mr. Fei."

He turned to Fei Wenbo and asked, "Mr. Fei, where is your car?"

Fei Wenbo turned pale, shook his head and said, "What kind of car, I don't know, I don't know."

"In court, the defense lawyer is trying to induce witnesses, I object, no, I protest!" The prosecutor was furious.

"Everyone be quiet!" The judge thumped hard.

But this dramatic scene still shocked everyone present for a long time. Zhuang Chuming took advantage of the victory and chased after him: "The court, everyone, why did Mr. Fei buy hydrofluoric acid, where did he use it after buying it, why did he go to my client's villa in the middle of the night, and why? The car will be destroyed afterwards, and the thieves who come here shout for arrest. I am not a police detective, and I cannot exceed my authority to solve the case, so these problems are left for them to solve further, and maybe in the near future, I will also leave it to Mr. Chief Prosecutor to worry about. But What I want to say is that my client is not the real culprit who murdered and dismembered the corpse. The existing evidence and witness testimony cannot directly link him to this abominable murder case. He has already suffered from the pain of losing his lover. We can no longer let him bear the unjust crime of mutilating his lover. According to the principle of innocence, I believe everyone will make a fair judgment."

After he finished speaking, he bowed slightly, then returned to his seat, and when he turned his head, Zhou Jinghui, who was in the auditorium, smiled at him and gave him a thumbs up secretly.

Zhuang Chuming nodded at him, then turned to discuss the follow-up matters in a low voice with his assistant.

At the end of the trial that day, Zhuang Chuming passed by the prosecutor. The prosecutor gave him a cold look, but Zhuang Chuming smiled.

Zhou Jinghui came over and shook hands with him, and said, "It's wonderful, thank you Zhuang Dazhuang."

Zhuang Chuming said: "No thanks, without your information, I can't overturn Fei Wenbo's testimony. By the way, how did you notice that he and the deceased were middle school classmates?"

Zhou Jinghui asked strangely: "Director Tang said that, didn't he tell you?"

Zhuang Chuming was dumbfounded, and then said: "Tell you Director Tang, next time he won't even try to defend me."

Zhou Jinghui smiled and said, "Although it's rude to say that, we all hope that Director Tang will cooperate with you just once."

A week later, the official verdict came out. Tang Anyao was not guilty of murder and was released in court.

On the other hand, Fei Wenbo was arrested by the police on suspicion of murdering Shen Tao.

Surrounded by a large group of friends and team members, he came out in a black Tang suit, and his expression was far less cheerful than expected.Surrounded by the media's guns and short guns, he pondered for a while, and said helplessly and sadly: "Thanks to my family and friends who have always supported me. At this moment, I just want to say one thing. I have tasted the pain of being wronged." It tastes good, believe me, it's very uncomfortable, very painful, don't let innocent people be wronged again."

He looked at the camera and repeated: "I hope innocent people will not be wronged again."

This interview video spread instantly, and the number of times it was reposted and clicked on the Internet instantly exceeded one million. At the same time, there were many different versions of the commentary. Escape from the cage without forgetting to pretend.Various theories, no consensus.

But Tang Anyao stayed behind closed doors, and did not even respond to the rumors outside.He seemed to have been depressed by the shock of Shen Tao's death, and the only thing he did after returning was to order someone to tear down the entire glass greenhouse and razed it to the ground.

The scene of the crime seemed to be unable to bear his grief.

After dismantling the glass greenhouse, he seemed to have recovered a little bit of his vitality, and began to travel in a low-key manner, frequenting Zhuang Chuming's lawyer's office.A few days later, the Hong Kong newspapers broke another news, Tang Anyao sued Fei Wenbo for defamation, and formally submitted it to the court.

At this time, Fei Wenbo was charged with several crimes, the suspicion of murder had not yet been cleared, and the crime of perjury and other crimes was awaiting combined punishment for several crimes. In addition to the damage to his reputation, it was almost impossible to recover.

Even if Tang Anyao's reputation has not yet been restored, he is still suspected of being a pervert in the eyes of the public, but Fei Wenbo is regarded as a jealous, crazy and paranoid villain, far from the gentle and sunny image of the popular niche before. Ten negative teaching materials.

Fei Wenbo's brokerage company has unilaterally terminated the contract with him, and what awaits him is a definite prison sentence.

Undoubtedly, these four words are the evaluation given by Zhuang Chuming. His original words are "such an unchallenging lawsuit, I really don't understand what is there to fight."

He was too famous, and such a small case of defamation was not his interest, so Tang Anyao entrusted another lawyer in his law firm.But after fighting side by side this time, Zhuang Chuming and Tang Anyao became close friends. Occasionally, when he was free, he would go to the villa where Tang Anyao's murder took place to see if there were moldy mushrooms growing in his room alone.

He lowered his head to read the newspaper, and said calmly: "The best result of reputation damage is to cede land and pay compensation, and you are not short of money or buildings, why bother to kill a young man?"

Tang Anyao sat upright opposite him, holding a pot to make tea himself, the steam was thick and his face was unknown.He poured the tea perfectly into the teacup, handed it to Zhuang Chuming, and said, "You are a blood-sucking litigator, and you tell me about kindness, it's really not like you."

Zhuang Chuming picked up the teacup, smelled the fragrance and tasted the tea. After a while, he said, "I'm just sympathizing for a while. What's the fuss? If I didn't have sympathy, I wouldn't take your lawsuit. Don't change the topic. It is very difficult for that kid to be cleared of the crime this time, and he will be in prison for at least 25 years, which can be regarded as avenging your Shen Tao, and still can't solve the hatred in your heart?"

Tang Anyao smiled and said: "He has done too many unnecessary things, if I don't pay back something, I will feel sorry."

"It's up to you." Zhuang Chuming didn't care, and asked again, "Death is like a lamp going out, you should come out and do something. How long are you going to hide in this haunted house? That assistant of yours secretly answers calls and faxes every day." , I dare not let you see it, it’s really embarrassing for him.”

Tang Anyao bowed his head and said noncommittally: "Let's have a look again."

"I really don't understand." Zhuang Chuming drank the tea in one gulp.

While they were talking, they saw Ah Jun hurrying in with a phone in his hand, and said with a grim expression, "Director Tang, your phone..."

Zhuang Chuming joked: "Aren't you afraid to bring your work phone to him?"

"But this is not a work call," Ah Jun said with a strange expression, hesitating for a while, "The other party said that he should tell Director Tang personally about Shen Tao..."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Anyao jumped up and snatched the phone, and said "Hello" urgently.

"Tang Anyao." The person on the other end of the phone obviously used a voice changer, "Do you want to return Shen Tao's body?"

Tang Anyao's breathing tightened, and he immediately said, "In your hands?"

"Yes."

"what would you like?"

"I want your life in exchange, do you dare?"

Tang Anyao took a deep breath and said, "Where is he?"

The man said gloomyly, "If you come alone, if you dare to call the police or call more people, I will set fire to the body, so that you can't even bring back the scum."

"Okay." Tang Anyao's voice trembled, "Where are you going?"

"No. XX, XX Road, Peak."
