After a moment of silence.
Di Ying's mellow and majestic voice resounded inside and outside the courtroom.
"On the evening of January 18, the twelfth year of the Daxia calendar, at the end of Haishi (23:00), the 11-year-old girl Zhang Zhizhi was stabbed to death in a side alley of Changqing Lane in Shezhou City.
He was stabbed thirteen times, almost hitting his vital organs.
The officer found two witnesses in the case: Miao Song and Jin Sang.
Bring a witness! "
After the words fell, Zhao San and Xu Si walked out of the left wing of the courtroom, accompanied by two witnesses.
When Huang Ronggui heard that it was this case, he suddenly stopped panicking.
Originally, he thought Master Di was here to investigate him, but it turned out that he was trying someone else or this case.
He became more relaxed.
He is on the safe side of this case.
Even when he saw two witnesses, Huang Ronggui didn't panic at all.
After listening to the testimonies of the two witnesses, Huang Ronggui became even less panicked.
He glanced at Chief Shi Yuan Liwen.
Yuan Liwen said "cough, cough" twice, walked out sideways, saluted and asked: "Master Di, this case is quite complicated. I would like to ask Master Di if you can allow the lower officials, Shezhou Prefecture Governor Shi Yuan Liwen, to serve as defendants Sun Yibing, How many arguments can you make?"
Di Ying looked at him, nodded gently, and said, "I didn't expect that the defendant would have a 'lawyer' who took the initiative to defend him, and he was in the government office, but I'm sure."
"Lawyer" is a very ironic status in the current era. They are famous for their eloquence and intend to defend the plaintiff or defendant in court.
It could have been a good thing.
However, it has only been a year since they started, and due to various reasons...
The main purpose is to make profits from it, but it is completely rejected by the officials and disappears into thin air.
No one trying a case wants to add more details, and those "lawyers" are quite powerful in their sophistry. But almost no one behind is clean.
Naturally, he is not welcome.
Di Ying doesn't care.
In other words: He is just waiting for such a person to appear.
It was just a little surprising: the "lawyer" who jumped out was actually the governor of the government office, Shi.
But that’s fine, it’s always good to cast a net and catch more fish.
Di Ying agreed.
When Yuan Liwen heard Master Di agreed, he straightened his back, opened the folding fan with a snap, put one hand behind his back, and asked the witness Miao Song.
"Miao Song, I want to ask you..."
Di Ying interrupted him: "Since you have assumed the status of 'lawyer', you can no longer claim to be an official."
Yuan Liwen immediately sneered and saluted sideways: "... I know I was wrong."
Di Ying waved her hand, indicating for him to continue.
But with the arrival of Yuan Li Wen Jing, his momentum was gone.
When I asked Miao Song again, his tone was no longer aggressive.
"Miao Song, did you witness the incident you mentioned, that is, the scene where the defendant Sun Yibing committed the murder?"
Miao Song shook his head.
He replied: "No. I just saw Sun Yibing dragging the little girl into a side alley, and then the sound of the little girl struggling and calling for help. Later, when I returned to the side alley, I saw the little girl lying on the ground covered in blood.
But does it make any difference? Who else could he have killed instead of him? "
Miao Song was a little nervous.
He suddenly discovered that there were loopholes in his testimony. But why didn’t the smart Master Di ask this? Is Master Di too busy and tired? Or do you believe in yourself too much?
Yuan Liwen shook his head with a half-smile and did not reply. Instead, he asked Jin Sang the original words.
Jin Sang was also nervous when asked.
She wanted to say that she had seen it with her own eyes, but in such a solemn occasion and under such pressure, she could not utter a false word.
He could only shake his head and answer: "No."
After answering, he quickly added one sentence.
"I saw it with my own eyes when Sun Yibing dragged the little girl in. I also saw him come out covered in blood. And the dagger he used to kill people was picked up by me. How could it not be him?"
Yuan Liwen smiled.
A strange smile on his fair and pure face.
He turned around and gave a light salute to the audience, his confidence returned.
He waved his folding fan and said, "Master Di, they say you are a god in solving cases. I wonder if you have ever heard the flaws in the testimony of the two witnesses?
None of them witnessed Sun Yibing's killing process, and both of them had time to leave the scene of the incident.
There is Changqing Alley, a relatively prosperous Changqing Alley in Honshu City with frequent night activities.
If Sun Yibing could come out of the Flower House at such a late hour, then it was possible for other guests to come out as well. Even flower girls, turtle slaves, madams, watchmen, etc. are all possible.
So: we can assume.
After Sun Yibing dragged the person into a side alley, he just punched and kicked him. Did blood spurt from the victim's mouth and onto him?
Then he turned around and left because he felt it was dirty. And then someone sneaked in, or someone who was already in the side alley, and killed the victim?
What if you kill someone and then run away? Is that also possible?
There is a saying in the national law: the benefit of doubt belongs to the defendant.
In other words: as long as there are doubts in the case that are not clearly related to the defendant's behavior, the defendant cannot be found guilty.
I also ask Mr. Di to give you a clear warning. "
"You! How can you say that? You are telling lies with your eyes open! I picked up the blood-covered dagger from the dead girl's side. It was exquisite and very sharp, and there was a word "soldier" engraved on it. That is obviously Sun Yibing's weapon. When he came to Hualou, I saw it with my own eyes and even touched it!"
Jinsang was so angry that she almost burst into tears when she heard Yuan Liwen's words.
Miao Song also clenched his fists and stared with red eyes.
Lord Di worked tirelessly to save his grandmother, but it turned out that his testimony was invalid. This was unacceptable to Miusong no matter what.
"Holding a dagger?"
Yuan Liwen chuckled and asked Jinsang: "You mean the iron dagger, the physical evidence that appeared in this courtroom? You said it was a personal belonging of Sun Yibing, a young master from a wealthy family?"
As he said this, Yuan Liwen shook his head with a "You are really ignorant" expression.
Then he said: "Don't you know much about what a rich person is? That's right. You are just a flower girl who makes a living by selling jokes every day. How can you possibly see too many good things?
I'm not the official, it's me and I don't care about you. Just stand aside. "
Jinsang: "..."
She gritted her teeth to hold back her tears, her little face flushed with anger. He roared angrily: "You fart! That iron dagger is not the one I picked up that day at all!"
"oh?"
Yuan Liwen chuckled disdainfully.
Said: "Then what did you pick up originally? Where did it go? Why wasn't it submitted to the court for evidence? Now it's up to you to say whatever you want. I also said that I also picked up a gold dagger with blood on it, which was taken from your room. I picked it up inside."
Jinsang: "..."
Her eyes were red with anger, and she didn't know what to say or how to say it, so she simply spread her fingers and started to dig at Yuan Liwen.
