In the evening, at Lin Mansion.
Zhang Wei sat in his room, contemplating his strategy for the hearing tomorrow.
The current situation could be described as quite grim.
During today's hearing, Zhang Wei brought up the possibility of malicious arson.
Unexpectedly, the prosecution used it against him, making Old Tan the person most likely to have started the fire.
Now Old Tan is suspected of arson, and even murder.
Although the night-shift janitor might be an incidental casualty of the arson, a life was still lost; if the victim's family appears in court, the situation will become even more dire.
Overall, the atmosphere in the court is highly unfavorable for the defense; everyone suspects Old Tan is the arsonist.
Old Tan actually has an alibi, but his proof is so weak.
Accompanying his wife and child!
This would be a good excuse, but Chen Xiaoyu's testimony in court doesn't carry much weight.
Because she is Old Tan's wife, a spouse's testimony has virtually no credibility.
