Chapter 1150 The Defendant

When Xu Lin stepped onto the witness stand, people in the auditorium whispered.

He looks very gentle, wears glasses, a clean suit jacket, looks like a company executive, and he doesn't look like a cruel person.

Judging from his expression, Xu Lin was quite uncomfortable sitting on the witness stand, probably because he didn't expect that he would cause such a big trouble, Xu Lin had a bit of shame and embarrassment on his face.

Mu Zi asked him: "Mr. Xu Lin, do you know the old lady sitting there?"

Xu Lin nodded: "I know."

"How did you know each other?"

"I go to restaurants to eat, and every time I see that old lady picking up trash nearby..."

Mu Zi asked again: "When you saw her, did you see a puppy following her?"

Xu Lin hesitated a little this time, and replied, "I see."

"Can you describe to the jury what kind of dog that is."

"White... mixed with some miscellaneous hair, like Peking Ba skewers."

"Is it the dog in the photo?" Mu Zi suddenly held up a photo and showed it in front of the jury members.

The tragic situation made people subconsciously dodge their eyes and couldn't bear to look directly.

Xu Lin's face turned pale, and he pursed his lips tightly.

The defense lawyer was also stunned, and then immediately stood up: "No! Your Honor, the jury already knew that my client killed the dog. The facts are clear. There is no need to publicly display such uncomfortable photos in court!"

Without waiting for the judge to speak, Mu Zi said, "Your Honor, I can change the photo."

After all, I changed a photo, and then another, each of which was a scene of the old lady and the puppy together, warm and peaceful.

In stark contrast to the one just now.

Defense lawyer: "..."

"Mr. Xu Lin, is this the dog?" Mu Zi asked him again.

Xu Lin nodded: "Yes."

"Could you please tell me what happened on the day of the incident?"

"I came back from working overtime at night, ate at a nearby restaurant, ordered a can of beer, and then saw a puppy across the street, it kept looking at me..." Xu Lin said slowly, "I think it should be in Look at the soda can in my hand, I have seen it pick up empty bottles from the road to the old lady."

"What happened later?" Mu Zi asked.

"I waved at it." Xu Lin said, "The puppy probably thought I was going to give it the can, and ran over quickly. I bent down... put the beer in front of its nose, and asked if it wanted to take a sip , and then it licked."

"Did you just lick it?" Mu Zi asked, "In the police report, your words don't seem to be like that."

Xu Lin pursed his lips, as if he was a little embarrassed, and then said: "After it has licked it, I will definitely not be able to drink it anymore, so... I picked it up and poured the remaining beer into its mouth."

Mu Zi asked: "How much did you drink?"

Xu Lin shook his head: "I don't remember clearly."

Mu Zi smiled lightly, "Mr. Xu Lin, according to the police records, you told the police at that time that you fed almost four cans of beer, plus the half cans you fed before, let's count it as four and a half cans, right? "

Xu Lin turned his face away uncomfortably, "I guess..."

Mu Zi continued to ask: "What did you do afterwards?"

"That dog... looks a little bad, I put it down, it..." Xu Lin seemed to have a dry mouth, pursed his lips repeatedly, hesitating, "It was lying on the ground, twitching, shaking all the time, I Guessing if it was going to die, I kicked it lightly with my foot, it rolled over and still twitched..."

"Mr. Xu Lin!" Mu Zi's voice suddenly rose, "Please try to be as precise as possible in your words when testifying! Is it a light kick, or a heavy step? Or a hard kick? Any ambiguous The testimony will be suspected of perjury!"
