If a trial is the most exciting, the twists and turns and ups and downs are always the most exciting.
Today's court hearing is undoubtedly an exciting example.
Before the trial, everyone thought the case was settled.
Shi Xinrong's murder is irrefutable.
But as soon as the court session began, with the introduction of relevant personnel, everyone knew the cause of the matter.
A businessman from Xiaocheng Kingdom actually came to Qingsong Kingdom to talk nonsense and despise the local garrison.
Even if he is beaten to death, he deserves it.
Suddenly, Shi Xinrong's image became taller.
And then, when faced with the preferential treatment proposed by the garrison office, Shi Xinrong actually refused it even though the official office agreed.
The reason is very positive and sunny.
Because I'm a soldier, I don't need any preferential treatment.
Everything I do is upright.
After hearing Shi Xinrong's reasons, everyone present felt in awe.
The original contempt and abuse towards Shi Xinrong disappeared in an instant.
Many people even had the urge to cry.
What a good general, he had to bear the guilt for killing a person from Xiaocheng Kingdom.
It's heartbreaking to think about having to face jail time.
But no one thought that this was not the end.
After rejecting the preferential treatment, Shi Xinrong actually denied his crime in court when faced with the aggressive questioning from Zheng Yuankai.
In an instant, the entire court hearing scene exploded.
"What did he just say? Brother Feng, I didn't hear clearly. Did he say he was not guilty?"
"You really need to clean your ears. What you heard is nonsense. What they say is not guilty, not innocent."
"No, two brothers, what's the point of you arguing about this thing?"
"You young man knows nothing. Not guilty means that it is not a mistake at all. It is not a crime, but of course he is not guilty. Not admitting guilt means that he denies that he did it. Tsk, tsk, tsk, there is a good show to watch today. ”
"No, how can you still play like this? Killing people in public, what's there to argue with? Even this is not guilty."
"Tch, I thought General Shi was a good guy just now, but now it seems that he is just a tough guy with a tough mouth."
"Yes, there is no point in not pleading guilty. The evidence is conclusive, so it can convict you. There is nothing wrong with denying it."
"I just thought that this guy named Shi was a man. Damn it. I almost cried. What the hell, I didn't even dare to take it seriously. He really isn't a man."
"Whether it's a man or not doesn't depend on his mouth."
"Look at his mouth, he's not a man either."
For a time, everyone was talking about it.
Zheng Yuankai shouted: "Quiet!"
Then the hall filled with voices.
After everyone stabilized, Zheng Yuankai looked at Shi Xinrong and said, "Listen carefully. If you take the initiative to plead guilty, you can naturally reduce the punishment as appropriate. If you resist to the end, there may not be a good result."
As he said that, he looked at Shi Xinrong with sharp eyes like an eagle, and said, "I am asking you once whether you admit the crime of killing Yu Liqiang!"
Hearing this, Shi Xinrong also looked at Zheng Yuankai firmly and said, "Reporting to Sir Tuiguan, the last general does not admit the crime of murder, and the last general did not kill Yu Liqiang."
Hearing this, Zheng Yuankai's eyes darkened, and a trace of disappointment was inevitably revealed on his face.
Obviously, they also thought that Shi Xinrong would still resist.
He has seen many such prisoners. Maybe these people have their own merits, but in the face of the majestic punishment, they still keep a lucky mentality and resist stubbornly.
Before Zheng Yuankai could say anything, Qian Captou said first, "Shi Xinrong, don't talk nonsense. You killed Yu Liqiang in public, and with all the witnesses and material evidence gathered, there is no room for argument."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Shi Xinrong.
I look forward to Shi Xinrong being able to explode again and say something.
But Shi Xinrong smiled slightly, cupped his hands to a young man next to him and said, "Sun Lu, thank you for your work."
According to what he had discussed with Sun Yi before, all he had to do was express his attitude, and Sun Yi would naturally do the rest for him.
With Shi Xinrong's words, everyone's eyes turned to the young man again, and everyone was waiting for him to see what he could say.
Even Zheng Yuankai changed his original appearance and became even a little expectant.
However, he still had a lot to do. Zheng Yuankai said, "Then introduce yourself, and then tell us why Shi Xinrong refused to plead guilty."
When Sun Yi heard the official's inquiry, he was not polite. He smiled gently, bowed to everyone around him, and then said loudly: "I am Sun Yi, a junior lawyer at the Mingli Lawyer Hall in the Qingsong Kingdom, Delin Mansion.
In this case, I am the defense lawyer for the suspect Shi Xinrong. "
After hearing Sun Yi's introduction, many people who had an impression of Sun Yi began to nod slightly.
Sun Yi's introduction was very polite. Many people knew that he was not only a junior lawyer, but his status as a two-star mechanic and a three-star psychologist was much more prominent.
Just two days ago, during his three-star psychologist assessment, the gambling handicap was opened, causing half of the gamblers in the Delin Mansion to lose everything.
Therefore, to describe Sun Yi as a household name is to be polite.
And the main reason is that Sun Yi is very handsome, the kind that is really handsome and will impress people when they see it.
Just listen to Sun Yi continue: "Actually, the proof to prove Shi Xinrong's innocence is very simple. You only need to ask two or three witnesses to find out."
Hearing this, Qian Captou sneered and said, "You're talking nonsense, so you better prove it to me."
Sun Yi was not angry when he heard this. He turned to a group of witnesses, raised his hands to one of them and said, "General Qu Jin, before your gathering on March 4th, did you know that Shi Xinrong knew Yu Liqiang?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Even Qu Jin who was asked was stunned and didn't know how to answer. He thought for a while and finally said: "I haven't heard of this, so I probably don't know him."
Qian Captou said impatiently: "I'm not Shi Xinrong. How does he know if he knows Yu Liqiang? You'd better ask him if he knows."
Sun Yi smiled slightly and apologized casually: "I'm sorry, I may not have said it clearly. I'm asking everyone in the room. Does anyone know or have seen it? Shi Xinrong and Yu Liqiang met on March 4th this year. Have we met each other before?"
As soon as Sun Yi said these words, everyone present looked at each other in shock.
Sun Yi made it very clear whether Shi Xinrong and Yu Liqiang had any interactions before the case.
Everyone looked at each other and said yes, but indeed, looking back carefully, it seemed that the two of them had never had any interaction before.
Qian Captou looked displeased and said, "What on earth do you want to explain?"
His tone was full of impatience, and he was obviously a little disgusted with Sun Yi's defense of Shi Xinrong's innocence.
Sun Yi smiled lightly and then said:
"It's very simple. To prove the crime of murder, you must first find the motive for murder." chapter
