‫(Episode 10)
2
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,280
‫(This is a work of fiction.)
3
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,360
‫Chai and I had a pact
‫to die together.
4
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:23,520
‫It was a suicide pact.
5
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:24,959
‫Would you consider
‫pleading guilty to manslaughter?
6
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:25,960
‫No way.
7
00:01:25,961 --> 00:01:27,520
‫But the new occupant
‫of this office...
8
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,280
‫must be a Senior Counsel.
9
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,320
‫Can you buy me some decent clothes?
10
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,680
‫I want to look presentable
‫on the day of the trial.
11
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,360
‫I know what people think of me.
12
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,160
‫I want to show them
‫that I have nothing to hide.
13
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:46,760
‫Court.
14
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,040
‫Members of the jury,
15
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:11,080
‫the prosecution charges
‫the defendant, Yeung Yi Ting,
16
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,080
‫that on the night
‫of October 16, 2024,
17
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,920
‫she used whiskey
‫mixed with disinfectant...
18
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,480
‫to murder Lam Ka Chai.
19
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,040
‫Four years before the incident,
20
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:24,960
‫the defendant and Lam Ka Chai...
21
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,440
‫reconnected at an alumni reunion.
22
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,056
‫Subsequently, the two of them...
23
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,720
‫began confiding in each other
‫about their relationship problems.
24
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,720
‫Soon after, they began an affair.
25
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:36,840
‫After three years together,
26
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:38,840
‫the defendant grew impatient...
27
00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:41,560
‫with Lam's refusal to get a divorce.
28
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,640
‫Following that,
‫the defendant and Lam...
29
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,120
‫argued many times over the divorce.
30
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,680
‫On the night of October 16, 2024,
31
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,840
‫the defendant first mixed
‫a bowl of takeaway porridge...
32
00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:56,120
‫with powdered sleeping pills.
33
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:57,960
‫After the deceased ate it,
34
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,560
‫he began to feel drowsy.
35
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,920
‫The defendant then coaxed him...
36
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,320
‫into drinking whiskey
‫mixed with disinfectant.
37
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,840
‫According to the forensic report,
38
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,120
‫the time of death was on October 16,
39
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,200
‫between 8pm and 10pm.
40
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:19,240
‫Yet at 11pm,
41
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,080
‫the deceased's
‫social media profile picture...
42
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,960
‫was changed to a photo
‫of the defendant and the deceased.
43
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:27,400
‫Clearly,
44
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,720
‫the defendant
‫watched Lam Ka Chai die...
45
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,240
‫before changing his profile picture.
46
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,200
‫She then drank a small amount
‫of the poisoned whiskey...
47
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,560
‫and called 999 for help,
48
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,440
‫creating the illusion
‫of a suicide pact.
49
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,360
‫After the incident,
50
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,040
‫police found
‫in the defendant's car...
51
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,720
‫a handwritten confession...
52
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,760
‫that had been torn to pieces.
53
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,600
‫It clearly states that...
54
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,000
‫she planned to kill the victim...
55
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,280
‫and then commit suicide.
56
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,000
‫So this case
‫isn't as the defendant...
57
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,000
‫claimed in her hospital statement.
58
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,720
‫She claimed they had a suicide pact.
59
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,440
‫In fact, her statement
‫is full of holes.
60
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:14,680
‫It's a pack of lies.
61
00:04:16,840 --> 00:04:17,920
‫Without a doubt,
62
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,320
‫this is a case of murder
‫born out of love turned to hate.
63
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,400
‫The cause of death was whiskey...
64
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,960
‫mixed with
‫chloroxylenol disinfectant,
65
00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:35,520
‫causing acute respiratory failure
‫and cardiac arrest.
66
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,120
‫Additionally,
‫we found chloroxylenol...
67
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,640
‫in the defendant's body.
68
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,320
‫But the amount was significantly
‫less than the deceased's.
69
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,600
‫When the defendant
‫arrived at the emergency room,
70
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,320
‫her breathing and pulse
‫were very weak.
71
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,200
‫We immediately performed
‫emergency care.
72
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,800
‫The paramedics told us...
73
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,376
‫they believed
‫she had ingested disinfectant...
74
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,320
‫containing chloroxylenol.
75
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:55,680
‫We pumped her stomach.
76
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,480
‫After that,
‫her condition began to stabilize.
77
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,280
‫Dr. Tung, you just said...
78
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,520
‫that when the defendant
‫arrived at the emergency room,
79
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,760
‫her breathing and pulse
‫were very weak.
80
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,320
‫Regarding her pulse,
81
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,040
‫how weak was it exactly?
82
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,960
‫Did her heart ever stop?
83
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,480
‫Yes, it did stop.
84
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:13,760
‫How did you handle it?
85
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:15,480
‫We immediately performed CPR.
86
00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:17,120
‫About two minutes later,
87
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,040
‫her heart started beating again,
88
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,200
‫and she resumed breathing.
89
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,840
‫If you hadn't performed
‫emergency care on her immediately,
90
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,639
‫would her life have been in danger?
91
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:26,720
‫Yes.
92
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,600
‫Without immediate CPR,
93
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:29,680
‫she would have died.
94
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:30,680
‫In other words,
95
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,560
‫although the amount she drank...
96
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,120
‫was less than the deceased,
97
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,560
‫it was still a lethal dose, right?
98
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:37,816
‫I'm not a forensic pathologist.
99
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:40,160
‫I don't know how much
‫the deceased drank.
100
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,480
‫But as for the amount
‫the defendant consumed,
101
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,120
‫was it enough to be fatal?
102
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,280
‫Yes.
103
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,800
‫Thank you.
‫I have no further questions.
104
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,200
‫My dad always said he'd see me...
105
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,520
‫graduate from university...
106
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:01,160
‫and see me get married.
107
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,720
‫My dad wouldn't commit suicide.
108
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,200
‫My dad wouldn't have left me.
109
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,000
‫I'm sure my dad
‫didn't commit suicide.
110
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,200
‫He would never have abandoned me.
111
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,400
‫He just wouldn't.
112
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,040
‫Two days before the incident,
113
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,040
‫he told me...
114
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:26,376
‫it was our daughter's birthday.
115
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,960
‫We were going to Japan as a family.
116
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,400
‫My daughter's birthday
‫is October 28.
117
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:38,760
‫I said...
118
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,680
‫buying tickets so last minute
‫would be very expensive.
119
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,520
‫He said...
120
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,160
‫it didn't matter.
121
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,200
‫The 28th happened to be
‫a school holiday.
122
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:01,360
‫We were going to go...
123
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,000
‫for four days and three nights.
124
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,960
‫My husband wouldn't commit suicide.
125
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,320
‫He promised our daughter
‫a trip to Japan.
126
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,160
‫In all these years,
‫whatever he promised our daughter,
127
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,440
‫he never once broke his word.
128
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,160
‫You're the reason I lost my husband.
129
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,480
‫My daughter lost her dad.
130
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,000
‫Does the witness need a break?
131
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,240
‫I'm fine. No need.
132
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:47,960
‫Ms. Leung,
133
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,960
‫you said the deceased
‫wouldn't commit suicide.
134
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,160
‫But was he ever diagnosed
‫with depression?
135
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:55,880
‫Yes.
136
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:57,520
‫But it was a mild one.
137
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,120
‫He was fine after that.
138
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:00,680
‫How do you know he was fine?
139
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,560
‫He didn't need any more follow-ups.
140
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,600
‫When was his last
‫follow-up appointment?
141
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,000
‫Probably...
142
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,120
‫about two years ago.
143
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,360
‫Are you aware that
‫depression can relapse?
144
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:18,800
‫Mrs. Lam,
145
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,800
‫when was your husband
‫diagnosed with depression?
146
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:23,920
‫Three years ago.
147
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:25,920
‫How was it discovered at the time?
148
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,000
‫I noticed he often had insomnia.
149
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,760
‫He wouldn't say a word at home,
150
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,280
‫and he often lost his temper.
151
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,000
‫So I suggested he seek counseling.
152
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,200
‫In other words,
153
00:08:39,201 --> 00:08:41,256
‫you were the one who noticed
‫your husband's depression.
154
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,359
‫And then you suggested
‫that he seek treatment?
155
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:44,480
‫Yes.
156
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,120
‫Now, before the incident,
157
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,120
‫did you notice
‫if your husband's depression...
158
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,480
‫showed signs of relapsing?
159
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:50,800
‫No.
160
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,440
‫Thank you.
‫I have no further questions.
161
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:58,880
‫The witness may stand down.
162
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:07,400
‫The two of you
‫don't love each other anymore.
163
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,400
‫Why won't you just let him go?
164
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,480
‫Defendant, please be quiet.
165
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,120
‫Officer Cheung.
166
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,280
‫Please describe the search
‫of the defendant's vehicle.
167
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,120
‫Officer Wu and I
‫had a search warrant.
168
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:41,976
‫We were to search
‫the defendant's car...
169
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,360
‫parked at her residence.
170
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,080
‫We started searching
‫from the back seat.
171
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:46,919
‫Soon, on the floor
‫between the driver...
172
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,160
‫and front passenger seats,
173
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:49,760
‫we found a pile of shredded paper.
174
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,160
‫I saw handwriting on the scraps,
175
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,456
‫so I immediately used
‫an evidence bag...
176
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:55,680
‫to collect the shredded paper.
177
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,000
‫Your Honor, I'd like to submit
‫prosecution exhibit P22.
178
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,520
‫Granted.
179
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,320
‫Is this the shredded paper
‫you were referring to?
180
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:13,880
‫Yes.
181
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,040
‫After you collected the scraps,
182
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:17,520
‫what did you do?
183
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:19,320
‫Like a jigsaw puzzle,
184
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,200
‫we pieced the scraps back together
‫into a single sheet.
185
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,880
‫It was a confession letter
‫written by the defendant.
186
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:26,760
‫Please read the contents.
187
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,040
‫"Living is too painful."
188
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:31,000
‫"I killed Lam Ka Chai."
189
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:32,960
‫"I'll commit suicide later."
190
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:34,440
‫"We will go to a place..."
191
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,440
‫"where there's no pain or tears."
192
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,160
‫"Yeung Yi Ting's final words."
193
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:42,880
‫I have no further questions.
‫Thank you.
194
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:46,720
‫Defense?
195
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:48,680
‫No questions from the defense.
196
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,480
‫As soon as I opened the car door,
‫I saw shredded paper on the floor.
197
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:57,200
‫I collected them immediately.
198
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,359
‫Which officer
‫pieced these scraps back together?
199
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,520
‫I did.
200
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,080
‫I have no further questions.
‫Thank you.
201
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:08,120
‫Defense?
202
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:12,776
‫You just said that
‫as soon as you opened the car door,
203
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,159
‫you saw shredded paper
‫all over the floor, right?
204
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,200
‫Yes.
205
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:17,960
‫Which door did you open?
206
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:20,880
‫The driver's door.
207
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,840
‫Are you sure
‫you opened the driver's door?
208
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,160
‫Yes.
209
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:27,680
‫That's right.
‫It was the driver's door, right?
210
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:30,520
‫Yes.
211
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,560
‫But your superior,
‫Officer Cheung, said,
212
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,800
‫"We started searching
‫from the back seat,."
213
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,680
‫"Soon, on the floor
‫between the driver..."
214
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,080
‫"and front passenger seats,"
215
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,600
‫"we found a pile of shredded paper."
216
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,040
‫So did you open the driver's door
‫right at the beginning...
217
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,000
‫and see the shredded paper
‫on the floor,
218
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,120
‫or did you start
‫from the back seat...
219
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:53,840
‫and see the shredded paper
‫in the front?
220
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:55,960
‫Maybe I remembered it wrong.
221
00:11:55,961 --> 00:11:58,520
‫Did you remember it wrong,
‫or Officer Cheung?
222
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:01,200
‫I remembered it wrong.
223
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,000
‫But we did find this paper
‫in the defendant's car.
224
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,800
‫Your Honor,
‫I have no further questions.
225
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:11,400
‫Court is adjourned.
226
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,600
‫We will resume tomorrow at 9:30am.
227
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:17,120
‫Court.
228
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,760
‫I've checked it all.
‫Nothing special.
229
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,799
‫You said Officer Wu
‫arrived 35 minutes early.
230
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:47,920
‫Yes.
231
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,160
‫How long was that truck
‫parked there?
232
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,200
‫About seven minutes.
233
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,760
‫Ask Mr. Wong
‫to contact that company.
234
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,519
‫See if we can get
‫the dashcam footage.
235
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:10,560
‫Okay.
236
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:14,040
‫Yes.
237
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,280
‫Shun Shui Delivery.
238
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,040
‫Yes, that's the one.
239
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:18,359
‫Yes.
240
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:19,640
‫Okay. Thank you, Mr. Wong.
241
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,280
‫- Sir, your coffee.
‫- Thank you.
242
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:32,880
‫How is it?
243
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:35,680
‫Did you really find it?
244
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:36,800
‫Good. I'll come over now.
245
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,080
‫What did he find?
246
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:49,640
‫Shun Shui Delivery?
247
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,440
‫Is there footage of the parking lot?
248
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:56,920
‫Yes.
249
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,120
‫Your Honor, the defense
‫has an application.
250
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,680
‫We request that the jury be excused.
251
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,640
‫Members of the jury,
‫please be excused.
252
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,520
‫Your Honor, the defense applies
‫to reopen the prosecution's case.
253
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,000
‫On what grounds?
254
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:17,760
‫Your Honor.
255
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,000
‫The first video was taken
‫in the parking lot...
256
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:21,680
‫on the day
‫the evidence was collected.
257
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,880
‫It was captured by the dashcam
‫of another vehicle.
258
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,200
‫The time is 35 minutes earlier...
259
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:28,799
‫than the video
‫submitted by the prosecution...
260
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,200
‫showing Officer Cheung...
261
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,120
‫and Officer Wu...
262
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:33,800
‫searching the car together.
263
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,160
‫Officer Cheung had not arrived yet.
264
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,120
‫Officer Wu arrived early.
265
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,240
‫Since he didn't have a warrant yet,
266
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,040
‫he was supposed to wait there.
267
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,360
‫But he inadvertently discovered...
268
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,440
‫that the car door was unlocked.
269
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,640
‫When he opened it,
‫pieces of paper flew out.
270
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,560
‫Officer Wu stated...
271
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,120
‫that he opened
‫the driver's side door.
272
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,120
‫He didn't lie,
‫nor did he misremember.
273
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:01,680
‫He simply concealed the fact...
274
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,880
‫that before the formal search began,
275
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,360
‫he had already opened the car door.
276
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,560
‫Does the prosecution object
‫to the defense's application?
277
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:16,800
‫The prosecution doesn't object.
278
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,280
‫Witness, in the footage,
279
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,000
‫we can clearly see...
280
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,080
‫that your negligence caused
‫the evidence to be tampered with.
281
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,280
‫- Do you agree?
‫- I don't.
282
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,240
‫I admit I touched the evidence,
283
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,320
‫but I didn't compromise
‫its integrity.
284
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,360
‫The confession letter
‫was indeed reconstructed perfectly.
285
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,319
‫I didn't add or remove anything.
286
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:52,320
‫Nothing?
287
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,480
‫Witness, look closely
‫at exhibit P22,
288
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,960
‫the paper you collected
‫and reconstructed yourself.
289
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:05,600
‫Please confirm once more.
290
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,480
‫Are these the scraps you collected?
291
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:09,920
‫Yes.
292
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,320
‫Look closely at two of the scraps.
293
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,760
‫The color, thickness,
294
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,640
‫and texture of the paper
‫are different.
295
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,960
‫Under a flashlight,
‫there's even a slight reflection.
296
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,640
‫- I don't have a flashlight.
‫- I do.
297
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,040
‫I can't tell.
298
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,440
‫Let me help you out.
299
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,040
‫Look at the last sentence.
300
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,320
‫"We will go to a place
‫without pain..."
301
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,240
‫"and tears."
302
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,480
‫Look at the two scraps
‫after the period.
303
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,480
‫Aren't the color and reflectivity
‫clearly different?
304
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,480
‫Your Honor, I would like to show
‫the jury the evidence.
305
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:10,680
‫Granted.
306
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,360
‫Witness, I want to ask you.
307
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,760
‫What kind of paper
‫is thicker in one spot...
308
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:03,840
‫and thinner in another?
309
00:19:04,360 --> 00:19:07,440
‫And what kind of paper
‫has different colors...
310
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,680
‫and reflectivity in different areas?
311
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:12,560
‫I put it to you...
312
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,520
‫that when you opened the car door,
313
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,000
‫the paper scraps flew out.
314
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:17,640
‫You were careless...
315
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,960
‫and just put the scraps
‫back randomly.
316
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,096
‫When you returned to the station...
317
00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:23,800
‫and tried to piece
‫the letter together,
318
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:25,680
‫you found that it didn't fit.
319
00:19:26,120 --> 00:19:29,520
‫So you took a piece of office paper,
320
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,639
‫tore out the matching shapes,
‫and filled in the gaps.
321
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:33,640
‫Do you agree?
322
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:36,720
‫I disagree.
323
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,920
‫The missing parts
‫were below the last sentence.
324
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,960
‫We have no way of knowing
‫if the letter was finished,
325
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,560
‫or if there was more content...
326
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,160
‫after that final sentence.
327
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,320
‫- Do you agree?
‫- I disagree.
328
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,360
‫It's obvious
‫the letter was finished.
329
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:52,840
‫Have you seen the original letter?
330
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:54,640
‫I can guess.
331
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,160
‫Is evidence collection
‫based on guesswork, Officer Wu?
332
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,080
‫Your Honor, the shredded paper
‫found in the car...
333
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,600
‫has clearly been contaminated.
334
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,440
‫Furthermore,
‫the content is incomplete.
335
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,600
‫The defense moves
‫to exclude exhibit P22.
336
00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:14,800
‫I need time to consider
‫the defense's application.
337
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,920
‫We will reconvene at 2:30pm.
338
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,840
‫I grant the application
‫to exclude exhibit P22.
339
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,440
‫Since the jury
‫has seen the evidence,
340
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,440
‫it's highly likely
‫to have created...
341
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,480
‫an indelible impression
‫of the defendant.
342
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,880
‫To avoid any injustice
‫to the defendant,
343
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,040
‫I'll discharge the jury.
344
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,920
‫The case will be scheduled
‫for a retrial.
345
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,680
‫Simon said there's
‫a commercial fraud case coming up.
346
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:56,920
‫Help me confirm the schedule.
347
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,240
‫I recall it should be fine.
348
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,240
‫- I'll get back to him then.
‫- Okay.
349
00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:04,200
‫What about the murder case?
350
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,496
‫I don't know
‫who the DOJ will hire...
351
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:07,896
‫as the outside prosecutor
‫for the retrial.
352
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,320
‫This commercial fraud case
‫is for a big client.
353
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:11,880
‫So after this case is over,
354
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,720
‫- shall we play football on Sunday?
‫- Cheers.
355
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:24,600
‫- Thank you.
‫- You're welcome.
356
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:26,880
‫- Cheers.
‫- Cheers.
357
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:33,800
‫What's the big deal?
358
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,360
‫He just exploited
‫a procedural loophole.
359
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,240
‫Even if he wins, it's not honorable.
360
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,080
‫The police did mess up
‫when searching the car.
361
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:43,320
‫There's no denying that.
362
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:45,816
‫If the evidence collection
‫is flawed,
363
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,600
‫it violates the principle
‫of legal fairness.
364
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,680
‫I'd have fought the case
‫the same way if I were him.
365
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,320
‫Nice shot!
366
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,520
‫- Pass it! Quick, pass it!
‫- Leo!
367
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:02,240
‫Shoot!
368
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,680
‫- Good shot!
‫- Good shot!
369
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:19,600
‫Hello?
370
00:22:19,601 --> 00:22:22,280
‫Winson, the DOJ
‫just finished a meeting.
371
00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:23,800
‫Regarding Yeung Yi Ting's retrial,
372
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,640
‫we still want you
‫as the external prosecutor.
373
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,200
‫But I already have a case scheduled.
374
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,040
‫See if you can work
‫around the schedule.
375
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:34,840
‫You're good.
376
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:38,800
‫I'll take it.
377
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,960
‫I'm dropping
‫that commercial fraud case.
378
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,440
‫- I'll tell Simon.
‫- What?
379
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,400
‫I'm done playing.
‫Let's go back to the office.
380
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,280
‫Help me investigate
‫Yeung Yi Ting's social circle.
381
00:23:14,360 --> 00:23:16,216
‫See if there's anyone
‫we haven't looked into yet.
382
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,760
‫Her family, relatives, colleagues...
383
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,800
‫Check her neighbors too.
‫Look into everyone.
384
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,560
‫Master, what are you looking for?
385
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,240
‫I don't know yet.
386
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:26,840
‫Let's just start looking.
387
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,520
‫The DOJ wants to proceed
‫with the murder charge.
388
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,200
‫But now that the confession is gone,
389
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:33,440
‫the prosecution's case...
390
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:34,599
‫needs some strong evidence...
391
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:35,800
‫to convince the jury.
392
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:37,720
‫Understood.
393
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,000
‫Have you been busy lately?
394
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,480
‫You haven't been here
‫for the past two months.
395
00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:06,160
‫My son is preparing
‫for kindergarten interviews.
396
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,840
‫His mom is very nervous.
397
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,136
‫She wants me to spend more time
‫practicing with him.
398
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,520
‫So you have a son?
399
00:24:16,120 --> 00:24:17,160
‫Yes.
400
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:22,760
‫Is there something
‫you want to ask me?
401
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:28,200
‫I heard the police...
402
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,800
‫found a confession letter.
403
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,240
‫Actually, never mind.
404
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,000
‫I know what you're thinking.
405
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,120
‫It's normal for you
‫to think that way.
406
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,520
‫Now everyone thinks I killed Chai.
407
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,760
‫One more person
‫won't make a difference.
408
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:58,560
‫No, that's...
409
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,200
‫That's not what I meant.
410
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,760
‫I'm fine. It's okay.
411
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,240
‫Wait.
412
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:21,960
‫Hurry up, Fatty.
413
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:24,480
‫Thank you.
414
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,120
‫Henry, the coffee was delicious.
415
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:36,960
‫- Thank you.
‫- You're welcome.
416
00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:49,480
‫I'll treat you next time.
417
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:50,920
‫Henry.
418
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:53,960
‫Bye.
419
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,400
‫I'm Ken.
420
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:58,960
‫Henry.
421
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,000
‫Remember to avoid suspicion.
422
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:08,960
‫I'm counting on you now.
423
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:11,056
‫Don't say that, Leo.
‫I'm glad you're willing to help.
424
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:12,240
‫I'm here to learn from you.
425
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:14,160
‫- Thank you.
‫- Don't mention it.
426
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,080
‫You're the one
‫who brought this case in.
427
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,400
‫- Come in.
‫- Okay.
428
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:35,400
‫Officer Cheung called to say...
429
00:26:35,401 --> 00:26:36,536
‫he just took a statement
‫from Yeung Yi Ting's cousin,
430
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:37,640
‫Chiu Chui Fong.
431
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,560
‫She agreed to testify
‫as a prosecution witness.
432
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:41,456
‫The statement has been sent over.
433
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:42,600
‫I'll print it out right now.
434
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:52,640
‫Hello? Officer Cheung.
435
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:54,560
‫Yes.
436
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,000
‫Emigrating? What's the exact date?
437
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:00,240
‫Let me write it down.
438
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,600
‫October 27.
439
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:11,560
‫October is fine.
440
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,280
‫The case will be closed by then.
441
00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:15,680
‫Okay, thank you.
442
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:21,840
‫Sorry, Victor. That's mine.
443
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:23,600
‫I'm sorry.
444
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,040
‫What's wrong?
445
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:07,480
‫What's wrong?
446
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,240
‫It's better safe than sorry.
447
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,160
‫Master, they've sealed it.
448
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,240
‫Should we seal ours too?
449
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:51,240
‫As you wish.
450
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:16,720
‫This is Mr. Yu, Victor.
451
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:18,320
‫This is his pupil, Ken.
452
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:19,760
‫And this is Mr. Kong.
453
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,040
‫Hello, Mr. Kong.
454
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:22,520
‫Just call me Chung.
455
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,880
‫I'm sorry for making you
‫come all the way here.
456
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:26,480
‫Mr. Kong is very sincere.
457
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,080
‫He looked up old news online...
458
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,600
‫and found the name of our law firm.
459
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,480
‫You said you witnessed the incident?
460
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,720
‫Yes.
‫That night was my last day of work.
461
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,760
‫I planned to finish up
‫my remaining work before leaving.
462
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,000
‫I happened to see
‫a room key on my desk.
463
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:42,760
‫It was for the hotel
‫across the street.
464
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,120
‫A careless guest had left it behind.
465
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:48,439
‫When I saw the card,
466
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,560
‫I instinctively looked
‫at the hotel across the street.
467
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,040
‫I wondered if that guest
‫was staying there.
468
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,200
‫I didn't expect to see a room...
469
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,640
‫on roughly the same floor as mine.
470
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:00,920
‫There was a man and a woman inside.
471
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,760
‫I saw the woman holding a spoon,
472
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,200
‫crushing some pills,
473
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:07,840
‫and putting them
‫into a bowl of food.
474
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:09,880
‫I was shocked at first,
475
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,960
‫but the man
‫watched her do all of it.
476
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:15,800
‫So I thought to myself,
477
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,000
‫maybe he just needed
‫to take medicine.
478
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,360
‫Then the man approached the woman,
479
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,000
‫hugged her, and kissed her.
480
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,160
‫Then she closed the curtains.
481
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:27,560
‫And then?
482
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,080
‫That was it.
483
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,040
‫With nothing left to see,
‫I went back to work.
484
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,160
‫What time was this?
485
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:35,920
‫A bit after 8pm.
486
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:37,760
‫How long
‫did this whole process last?
487
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,120
‫A few minutes, I guess.
488
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,880
‫What time did you leave
‫the office that night?
489
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,120
‫Around 11pm.
490
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,400
‫It has been so long since then.
491
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,360
‫How can you be so sure...
492
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,000
‫that it was the night
‫of the incident?
493
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,400
‫I checked my pay stubs.
494
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,600
‫My company calculated my salary
‫up to my final day of work,
495
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,200
‫which was October 16, 2024.
496
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:02,560
‫You left after 11pm.
497
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,600
‫Didn't you see an ambulance
‫in front of the hotel?
498
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:05,680
‫No.
499
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,920
‫The hotel entrance
‫is on another street.
500
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,776
‫That night, I had no idea that
‫something so serious had happened.
501
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:11,920
‫Didn't you see the news?
502
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:13,320
‫No.
503
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:14,640
‫Once I quit my job,
504
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,160
‫I focused on preparing
‫for my working holiday in Australia.
505
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,160
‫Are you sure the people you saw...
506
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,360
‫were Lam Ka Chai and Yeung Yi Ting?
507
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:22,639
‫Yes.
508
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:23,680
‫I've confirmed it.
509
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,840
‫He could state Lam Ka Chai
‫was wearing blue...
510
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,080
‫and Yeung Yi Ting was wearing
‫a white hotel bathrobe.
511
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,840
‫The media never reported
‫these key details.
512
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,040
‫Do you remember
‫what else was on the table?
513
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,440
‫I saw a bottle of whiskey.
514
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:40,160
‫Next to it,
515
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,320
‫there was something
‫like disinfectant.
516
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,039
‫Why do you remember it so clearly?
517
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:45,080
‫Because it was so weird.
518
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,520
‫Who puts disinfectant
‫next to whiskey?
519
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,400
‫How far is your office
‫from the hotel?
520
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,600
‫Just across
‫a very narrow one-way street.
521
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,440
‫The hotel and the finance company
‫are indeed very close.
522
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,200
‫If the curtains aren't drawn,
‫one can see in.
523
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,000
‫Yes.
524
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:05,640
‫People usually close the curtains.
525
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:07,760
‫If a room's curtains aren't drawn,
526
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:08,920
‫it really stands out.
527
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,480
‫Remember to draft that...
528
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:13,960
‫- Witness statement?
‫- Yes.
529
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,240
‫Mr. Kong.
530
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,320
‫- Let's go to the conference room.
‫- Okay.
531
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:21,960
‫Make sure the record is detailed.
532
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,160
‫If anything is unclear, ask again.
533
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:25,960
‫Check for any inconsistencies.
534
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,240
‫And don't let anyone find any flaws.
535
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:29,640
‫Understood.
536
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,400
‫If this testimony is truly reliable,
537
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,640
‫we have a good chance
‫of beating the murder charge.
538
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,840
‫Ms. Chiu, what's your relationship
‫with the defendant?
539
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:10,800
‫She's my cousin.
540
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:12,680
‫Please describe your relationship.
541
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,160
‫We grew up together.
542
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:16,600
‫We've always been very close.
543
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:18,240
‫Every month or two,
544
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:19,880
‫we would meet up.
545
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,400
‫On the afternoon of Saturday,
‫September 7, 2024,
546
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,080
‫- did you two meet?
‫- Yes.
547
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,160
‫What did you do when you met?
548
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,160
‫We chatted.
549
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:31,520
‫What did you talk about?
550
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,440
‫She said she wanted
‫to kill Mr. Lam again.
551
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,200
‫- Who is Mr. Lam?
‫- Lam Ka Chai.
552
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,400
‫What do you mean by "again"?
553
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,200
‫After they started dating,
554
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,240
‫she complained to me many times.
555
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,600
‫She said Lam Ka Chai
‫wouldn't get a divorce.
556
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,440
‫They fought a lot because of that.
557
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,520
‫When was the first time
‫she told you...
558
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,096
‫she wanted to kill Lam Ka Chai?
559
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,680
‫About half a year
‫before the incident.
560
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,200
‫Yi Ting said
‫she didn't want to go on like this.
561
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,360
‫She'd just die with him
‫if she had to.
562
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:05,760
‫"Die with him"?
563
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,760
‫That means Lam Ka Chai
‫was unaware...
564
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,760
‫and unwilling, correct?
565
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:13,320
‫That's my understanding.
566
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,000
‫When you first heard
‫the defendant say that,
567
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,400
‫how did you feel?
568
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,200
‫I was a bit worried.
569
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,640
‫Did she mention it again after that?
570
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,080
‫She mentioned it
‫at least twice more.
571
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,200
‫The last time was September 7.
572
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,920
‫The night before that,
573
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,080
‫Yi Ting and Lam Ka Chai
‫had another big fight.
574
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,160
‫She said Lam Ka Chai
‫really wouldn't get a divorce.
575
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:37,960
‫Yi Ting was very angry that night.
576
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,520
‫She said she wanted to kill him
‫many times that day.
577
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,000
‫I kept telling her to calm down
‫and not think such thoughts.
578
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,319
‫If being together was so hard,
579
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:48,360
‫why not just break up?
580
00:34:49,240 --> 00:34:51,280
‫But Yi Ting took it out on me too.
581
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,160
‫Because she felt
‫I wasn't helping her.
582
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,840
‫We didn't see each other again
‫after that.
583
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,640
‫It wasn't until
‫after the incident...
584
00:34:57,720 --> 00:35:01,560
‫that I knew
‫she really killed Lam Ka Chai.
585
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,080
‫The witness
‫doesn't need to speculate.
586
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:05,240
‫I have no further questions.
587
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,040
‫As far as you know,
‫before the incident,
588
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:17,000
‫did the defendant
‫ever harm Lam Ka Chai in any way?
589
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:18,680
‫As far as I know, no.
590
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:20,680
‫You just mentioned...
591
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,360
‫the defendant first said...
592
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,960
‫she wanted to die
‫with Lam Ka Chai...
593
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,160
‫six months before the incident?
594
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:28,520
‫Yes.
595
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,016
‫But after the defendant said that,
596
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,280
‫did she take any actual action?
597
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:33,160
‫No, she didn't.
598
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,280
‫- What about the second time?
‫- No.
599
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,360
‫The first time she said it,
‫nothing happened.
600
00:35:38,720 --> 00:35:41,120
‫The second time,
‫nothing happened either.
601
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,720
‫It's obvious that
‫she was just venting her anger.
602
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:45,120
‫Do you agree?
603
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:48,080
‫I don't know if it was just anger.
604
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:50,280
‫It's hard to say.
605
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,240
‫Anyway, I was just worried.
606
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:54,960
‫Why were you so worried?
607
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:57,480
‫I was worried...
608
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,080
‫that she might really do it.
609
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,800
‫You even remember the exact day
‫she mentioned it so clearly.
610
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:04,880
‫Is there
‫any special reason for that?
611
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,440
‫Because she tried to stab
‫her ex-lover before.
612
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,160
‫- She was jailed for two weeks.
‫- Witness.
613
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:15,680
‫Members of the jury,
614
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:17,800
‫please leave the court for a moment.
615
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,296
‫Now the jury knows the defendant
‫has a criminal record.
616
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:37,600
‫They will be biased against her.
617
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,080
‫It's impossible for them
‫to make an objective judgment.
618
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,280
‫You led my witness to say that.
619
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:44,320
‫She's not my witness.
620
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,640
‫I couldn't have predicted
‫what she would say.
621
00:36:46,720 --> 00:36:48,840
‫Mr. Yu, what do you want then?
622
00:36:49,240 --> 00:36:51,080
‫The fairest thing for the defense...
623
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:52,560
‫is to dismiss the jury immediately.
624
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:54,120
‫The prosecution objects.
625
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,000
‫I will strictly instruct the jury.
626
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:00,560
‫When reaching a verdict,
627
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:04,080
‫they must not consider
‫her criminal record.
628
00:37:04,240 --> 00:37:05,920
‫- Your Honor...
‫- Mr. Yu.
629
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:07,920
‫Enough is enough.
630
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:10,280
‫Repeated delays in the trial...
631
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:12,800
‫will lead to a backlog of cases.
632
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,400
‫It's a waste of taxpayers' money.
633
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:16,856
‫You've been practicing for so long.
634
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,040
‫You should know very well...
635
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:19,840
‫that delaying the entire trial...
636
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,680
‫benefits neither side.
637
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,160
‫Members of the jury,
638
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,840
‫I now solemnly remind you...
639
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,160
‫that the testimony regarding
‫the defendant's criminal record...
640
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,520
‫will be struck
‫from the court record.
641
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:42,680
‫Please disregard it.
642
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:44,760
‫You must act
‫as if you never heard it.
643
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:46,920
‫When reaching a verdict,
644
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,760
‫you must absolutely
‫not consider this factor.
645
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:51,480
‫Do you all understand?
646
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:58,280
‫The prosecution rests its case.
647
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,640
‫This case
‫is fundamentally a tragedy.
648
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:22,560
‫Four years before the incident,
649
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,440
‫at an alumni reunion one night,
650
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,960
‫she met her high school first love,
‫Lam Ka Chai, again.
651
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,520
‫At that time,
‫the defendant had just ended...
652
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,880
‫a seven-year unhappy marriage.
653
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,000
‫She was still in the healing stage.
654
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,640
‫As for Lam Ka Chai,
‫a photographer for many years,
655
00:38:41,720 --> 00:38:43,280
‫he had never been able to fulfill...
656
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,120
‫his dream of holding
‫a photo exhibition.
657
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,560
‫He and his wife, Leung Wai Mei,
‫had personality clashes,
658
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:50,160
‫leading to constant friction.
659
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,040
‫So the two frustrated ex-lovers
‫rekindled their romance.
660
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,960
‫But Lam Ka Chai
‫didn't want a divorce...
661
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,760
‫because he was afraid of losing
‫his beloved daughter.
662
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:05,760
‫So he kept stalling.
663
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,000
‫At that time, Lam Ka Chai started
‫showing symptoms of depression.
664
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,440
‫His temper and mood were very poor.
665
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:14,880
‫But the defendant
‫didn't give up on him.
666
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,000
‫They wanted to face it together
‫in their own way.
667
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,280
‫But they chose the most foolish way,
668
00:39:24,720 --> 00:39:26,000
‫which was a double suicide.
669
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,040
‫The defendant's feelings
‫for Lam Ka Chai...
670
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,680
‫were out of love, not hatred.
671
00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:33,840
‫She didn't murder Lam Ka Chai.
672
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,080
‫The day before the incident,
673
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,000
‫she bought disinfectant
‫and sleeping pills at a pharmacy.
674
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:43,880
‫She didn't buy them
‫behind Lam Ka Chai's back.
675
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,320
‫The two of them
‫had agreed long ago...
676
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,400
‫to commit suicide at the hotel.
677
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,320
‫On the day of the incident,
‫past 8pm,
678
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,359
‫Lam Ka Chai first ate
‫a bowl of porridge...
679
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,040
‫mixed with sleeping pills.
680
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,360
‫He knew the disinfectant
‫would be hard to swallow.
681
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,120
‫Then the defendant
‫mixed the disinfectant...
682
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,320
‫into the whiskey bottle.
683
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:08,800
‫Lam Ka Chai told the defendant...
684
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,040
‫I'm very scared.
685
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:13,680
‫I'm afraid
‫it'll be agonizing and painful.
686
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,240
‫I'm afraid
‫I won't be able to take it.
687
00:40:17,720 --> 00:40:18,720
‫I'll back out.
688
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,720
‫So he asked her to watch him die
‫from the drugs first...
689
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,160
‫before she followed him.
690
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:27,920
‫The defendant
‫deeply loved Lam Ka Chai.
691
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:31,799
‫So she would rather endure
‫the emotional pain...
692
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:32,840
‫to take care of him.
693
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,320
‫Only after he lost consciousness...
694
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:44,000
‫did she drink the poisoned whiskey.
695
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:46,840
‫At around 11pm,
696
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,160
‫the defendant saw that Lam Ka Chai
‫had truly passed away.
697
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,240
‫She intended to drink
‫the poisoned whiskey...
698
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:54,640
‫to join Lam Ka Chai.
699
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,640
‫But the defendant
‫suddenly remembered...
700
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,000
‫that in all their time together,
701
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:02,416
‫she never had the chance...
702
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,960
‫to publicly acknowledge
‫their relationship.
703
00:41:05,720 --> 00:41:08,240
‫So she took Lam Ka Chai's phone,
704
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:10,840
‫logged into
‫his social media account,
705
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,200
‫and changed his profile picture...
706
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,200
‫to a photo of them at Mount Fuji.
707
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:25,800
‫But the defendant didn't expect...
708
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,560
‫taking the poison to be so painful.
709
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:30,640
‫She couldn't take it anymore,
710
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:32,400
‫so she called 999 for help.
711
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,040
‫That was my last day of work.
712
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:49,080
‫I had to finish my work
‫before leaving.
713
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,040
‫Everyone else had already left.
714
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:52,560
‫I was the only one
‫left in the office.
715
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,240
‫While I was working that night,
716
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,240
‫I happened to look at
‫the hotel across the street.
717
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:57,439
‫There was a room with the lights on.
718
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:58,520
‫The curtains weren't drawn.
719
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:00,720
‫There was a man and a woman inside.
720
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,320
‫The woman crushed some pills...
721
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,120
‫and poured them into a bowl of food.
722
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,000
‫What was the man doing at the time?
723
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,520
‫He was watching
‫as the woman crushed the pills.
724
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:12,040
‫And then?
725
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,280
‫Then the man walked over,
726
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:15,680
‫hugged the woman, and kissed her.
727
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,120
‫Then the curtains were drawn.
728
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:19,600
‫What time was this?
729
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:21,760
‫Around 8pm.
730
00:42:22,720 --> 00:42:25,096
‫I didn't pay more attention
‫since there was nothing to see...
731
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:26,760
‫and finished the rest of my work.
732
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,160
‫At around 11pm,
733
00:42:29,240 --> 00:42:30,759
‫I finally finished everything...
734
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:31,760
‫and left work.
735
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,360
‫- Submitting exhibit D13.
‫- Granted.
736
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:43,919
‫Look at this document.
737
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:44,920
‫What is it?
738
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:46,840
‫It's my pay slip.
739
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:51,000
‫It's dated October 16, 2024.
740
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,360
‫That's the last day of work
‫you mentioned,
741
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:54,760
‫- right?
‫- Yes.
742
00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:57,600
‫The company calculated my pay
‫up to my last day of work.
743
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,080
‫Thank you.
744
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,040
‫Your Honor,
‫I have no further questions.
745
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:08,600
‫Witness,
746
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,680
‫why did you wait so long
‫after the incident...
747
00:43:10,720 --> 00:43:12,120
‫to suddenly come forward with this?
748
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:14,640
‫I only noticed the news recently...
749
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:15,920
‫that the trial was ongoing.
750
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:17,680
‫I see you're wearing glasses.
751
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,720
‫- Are you short-sighted?
‫- Yes.
752
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:20,880
‫What is your prescription?
753
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,616
‫About 200 degrees in one eye,
‫and about 300 in the other.
754
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:25,840
‫So your eyesight isn't very good.
755
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,720
‫I'm wearing glasses.
‫My vision is corrected.
756
00:43:29,240 --> 00:43:31,559
‫What is the distance
‫between your office and the hotel?
757
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:32,560
‫Roughly how far?
758
00:43:32,720 --> 00:43:34,400
‫Across a one-way street.
759
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,160
‫I'd say about 10m.
760
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:37,360
‫It's 15m.
761
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,720
‫Was the lighting in the hotel
‫very bright at the time?
762
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,120
‫Not really. It was a bit dim.
763
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,320
‫If it was so dim,
‫how could you see...
764
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:47,840
‫what was happening inside
‫so clearly?
765
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:49,000
‫I could see.
766
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:50,960
‫I was wearing glasses.
‫I could see very clearly.
767
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:52,320
‫I put it to you...
768
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,720
‫that you only saw
‫the media reports...
769
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:56,120
‫and then fabricated details...
770
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:57,680
‫based on what you knew.
771
00:43:57,720 --> 00:43:58,800
‫I didn't.
772
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:00,640
‫Hotel rooms all look the same.
773
00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:03,240
‫How can you be so sure
‫that you saw room 830?
774
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:04,960
‫And how can you be so sure...
775
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,800
‫that the man and woman
‫were the deceased and the defendant?
776
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,080
‫Your Honor,
‫I have no further questions.
777
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:16,360
‫Witness,
778
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,639
‫what were the defendant
‫and the deceased wearing...
779
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:19,680
‫at the time?
780
00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:22,280
‫The man was wearing blue pajamas.
781
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:23,880
‫The woman was wearing
‫a white bathrobe.
782
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:26,840
‫What else was in the room?
783
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,240
‫I remember
‫there was a painting on the wall.
784
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:32,160
‫It looked like an ink painting.
785
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,000
‫There was a white bird flying.
786
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:36,839
‫Have you ever stayed at that hotel?
787
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:37,880
‫No.
788
00:44:38,240 --> 00:44:39,360
‫Thank you.
789
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,600
‫Your Honor,
‫I have no further questions.
790
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,360
‫Mr. Tong, I'd like to ask,
791
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:49,680
‫in your hotel,
792
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:51,840
‫how does each room differ?
793
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:54,800
‫Each room has a different painting.
794
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:56,080
‫They each have a unique theme.
795
00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:57,999
‫In other words, the painting
‫in every room is different?
796
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,000
‫Yes.
797
00:44:59,001 --> 00:45:01,720
‫What is the theme
‫of the painting in room 830?
798
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,400
‫It's an ink painting called
‫Crane Bridge and Mountain Peaks.
799
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:06,400
‫Could you describe this painting?
800
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,080
‫There's a white crane...
801
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,880
‫flying between several high peaks.
802
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:15,920
‫There's a river
‫below the mountains...
803
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:17,480
‫and a bridge over the river.
804
00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:20,879
‫No other room in the hotel
‫has this painting?
805
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:22,000
‫No.
806
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,000
‫Or are there
‫any similar ink paintings?
807
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,760
‫No, because the paintings
‫in each room...
808
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:29,160
‫are from different countries.
809
00:45:29,240 --> 00:45:32,120
‫For example, Italy,
‫India, and Japan.
810
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:33,520
‫Thank you.
811
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:36,120
‫I have no further questions,
‫Your Honor.
