Draw the Line 底线 Episode 14

The Rongzhou Intermediate People's Court heard the murder case of Mu Ziqi publicly, and the presiding judge Song Yufei found that the defendant Shi Yong committed intentional homicide, and the circumstances were vile and cruel. However, considering that Shi Yong was caused by emotional entanglements, he truthfully confessed his crime after the case, and showed repentance and confession. He was sentenced to death according to law, with a two-year suspension of execution.

After the trial, Mu Ziqi's husband Tao Daming followed Kuang Tianshu out of the courtroom. Facing numerous reporters, he emphasized that he would hold his wife and best friend Ge Qingqing accountable, and appointed Xu Tian as his attorney. However, Xu Tian felt that this case was very complicated. Ge Qingqing did not commit any murder at all, but chose to hide without help when her best friend Mu Ziqi was in danger.

Kuang Tianshu feels that this is just the information he has obtained so far, and many details still need to be verified. Moreover, the case has attracted widespread attention from all walks of life. Whether he wins or loses in the future, it will be beneficial to Xu Tian's future development and the law firm. While Kuang Tianshu was still persuading, Tao Daming hurried in and asked Xu Tian why he refused to accept the case.

Because Shi Yong, the murderer of Mu Ziqi, was Ge Qingqing's ex-boyfriend, and Mu Ziqi died unexpectedly just to protect Ge Qingqing. She could have had a chance to live if Ge Qingqing had not kept her out. Tao Daming lost his beloved wife, and he has nothing left. The belief that he can hold on is to make Ge Qingqing take responsibility for his life. He believes that the law can find out the truth and give justice to the world.

At the same time, the Xingcheng District Court accepted Tao Daming's lawsuit against Ge Qingqing. Considering that the Intermediate People's Court had already aroused social concern during the trial of Shi Yong, the Court decided to organize elite soldiers to conduct strict checks. Fang Yuan took the initiative to apply to be the presiding judge, and Zhang Weimin repeatedly told him to be cautious.

Fang Yuan immediately went to hand over the file with Song Yufei. Song Yufei understood Tao Daming very emotionally, but from a legal point of view, it was difficult to support Tao Daming's lawsuit. However, Song Yufei and Fang Yuan shared information other than the dossier, that is, Shi Yong once pointed out that Ge Qingqing pushed Mu Ziqi out when the case happened, but the court did not accept the other party's argument because there was no clear evidence to prove it.

Now Tao Daming pursues Ge Qingqing for financial compensation with a civil lawsuit, Fang Yuan notified Ge Qingqing to come to the court to explain the situation, and in Ge Qingqing's confession, basically all the words in her favor. Directly disguised as a little white flower, accusing Shi Yong of domestic violence and showing how innocent he is, trying to win the sympathy of the judges present.

As for why Ge Qingqing was at Mu Ziqi's house, according to her, it was because she wanted to break up with Shi Yong and be entangled, so Mu Ziqi insisted that she move in with her. Fang Yuan wondered why Ge Qingqing was frequently threatened and followed by Shi Yong, why she didn't call the police for a long time, how could she know that Ge Qingqing actually said that Mu Ziqi was blocking her.

Later, Ge Qingqing couldn't stand Shi Yong, so she lied that she had made a new boyfriend, which completely angered him. That night, Ge Qingqing blocked Shi Yong's phone. After receiving the threatening text message, she was instantly in a state of fear, and hurriedly contacted Mu Ziqi to pick her up on the subway. Mu Ziqi took Ge Qingqing to the roadside stall to eat. Ge Qingqing was restless throughout the whole process, and told the truth about what happened today, and she also wanted to go to the hotel to deal with it for the night.

But in Ge Qingqing's description, Mu Ziqi was not afraid of Shi Yong's threat at all, but she met Shi Yong as soon as she got home. Seeing this, Mu Ziqi pushed Ge Qingqing into the room. She leaned against the door and couldn't hear what was happening outside until the neighbors screamed, which made her hurriedly call the police.

The above are basically Ge Qingqing's unilateral remarks, but what Tao Daming and Xu Tian said are completely opposite. First of all, Ge Qingqing offered to move to Mu Ziqi's house, but Mu Ziqi agreed, so the chat records between Tao Daming and Mu Ziqi were all there, which was enough to prove it.

In fact, Ge Qingqing and Shi Yong fell in love, mainly because of each other's family background, and even to whitewash the behavior of his ex-girlfriend of domestic violence, until later learned that Shi Yong's family was not doing well in business, and the idea of ​​breaking up was born. Mu Ziqi persuaded Ge Qingqing to call the police many times to avoid Shi Yong's repeated entanglement, but Ge Qingqing refused decisively, mainly because she was an anchor on the Internet and often showed off that she was talking about a rich second-generation boyfriend. , and did not agree with Mu Ziqi's proposal.

Tao Daming always believed that Ge Qingqing did not inform the danger in advance on the night of the incident, and even betrayed Mu Ziqi to avoid Shi Yong, because before the incident, he and Mu Ziqi were on the phone and chatted on WeChat. When it comes to Shi Yong's threat, Mu Ziqi will definitely tell herself. The most important point is why Ge Qingqing didn't dare to open the door when Mu Ziqi was injured and called for help, and did not show up until the police arrived, it means that she knew that Shi Yong would do something, and had already thought about asking Mu Ziqi to block the knife for her.

Regarding the specific details of the night of the crime, Tao Daming and Ge Qingqing held their own opinions, but Zhang Jia found that Ge Qingqing's description this time was completely different from the description in the dossier. If once or twice, it may be a moment of memory, if there is a deviation in the continuity, Fang Yuan also has doubts about Ge Qingqing. Considering that Wang Xiuhua still has a financial case that needs to be mediated, Fang Yuan asked her to notify Ye Xin to follow the case, but Wang Xiuhua immediately saw that Fang Yuan was going to give his apprentice a chance to learn, and couldn't help joking.

Tao Daming, under Xu Tian's instruction, directly wrote the incident on the official account. The articles without fact-checking were very inductive, and public opinion criticized Ge Qingqing's behavior. Fang Yuan learned about this and guessed that Ge Qingqing would also engage in a public opinion war, and informed Ye Xin to contact the General Office.
