"This guy is so bad, the judge has him arrested."
"Slap his mouth and see if he still dares to lie."
"He is really telling lies with his eyes open. I want to dig out his eyeballs."
At this time, the crowd was furious. The people watching outside the court pointed at Li Yan and yelled.
It's really irritating to commit perjury just for the sake of a moment of pleasure.
Faced with these accusations, Li Yan turned pale with fright and looked at Zhang Fei in fear.
Cai Yanqing and other officials on the side looked embarrassed. To them, these voices seemed to be scolding them.
Boom, boom, boom!
Zhang Fei banged the gavel several times, "Quiet! Quiet!"
Seeing that the effect was ineffective, he loudly said: "If anyone dares to make noise again, the president of the court will order him to be expelled from the imperial court immediately."
Then the sound gradually became quieter.
Zhang Fei said to Ma Xiaoyi again: "Officer Ma, please take the witness down."
"yes."
After Li Yan was taken down, Zhang Fei said to Su Che again: "Prosecutor Su, although Li Yan's previous confession was untrue, it does not prove that it was not Wu Zhang who pushed Wu's mother down.
As you just said, if Li Yan was squatting at the time, and the person on the other side was also half-crouching, and he could not see the other person, then according to Li Yan's confession just now, he just did not see Wu Zhang at first glance
But it is also possible that Mrs. Wu Zhang pushed Mrs. Wu down while she was squatting, and then stood up, and Li Yan happened to see her."
"???"
The people outside the court suddenly looked at Zhang Fei in confusion.
What are you doing?
Aren’t you going to reverse the case for Wu Zhang?
They still think that the Public Security Bureau is just one department.
Cai Yanqing and the others also gradually understood the way the public prosecutor, procuratorate, and law tried their cases, and couldn't help but nodded slightly.
Su Che replied: "Our procuratorate also found an eyewitness. This person can prove that it was not Wu Zhang who pushed Wu's mother down."
"pass."
"The witness Guo Rui."
But I saw a royal policeman coming up with a man in his thirties, of medium build, thin, with a few sparse beards.
He also chose to stand. This was the first time he encountered such a scene. How could he dare to sit down?
Su Zhe still asked for his personal information as usual.
"My name is Guo Rui. I am from Pinglu County. I make a living by selling medicinal materials."
"Brother Guo, do you still remember what happened in the early morning of April 16th this year?"
"Remember! Remember!"
Guo Rui nodded and said: "I remember that day, I had to rush to Hanguguan Pier to deliver a batch of medicinal materials, so I got up before dawn and hurried on. When passing by the path in the back mountain of Guixiang, I saw a young man
The woman was standing under a big tree crying. I didn't dare to meddle in her own business, so I continued on my way. But after walking a few steps, I suddenly heard a thump.
I wondered if the woman had jumped into the river, so I looked back and found that the woman had not jumped into the river, but was just running towards the river in a panic.
I thought she was about to jump into the river, and I wanted to stop her, but it turned out that she was not about to jump into the river, she was just squatting by the river and crying loudly, so since I had to be on my way, I left it alone."
"What time was it?"
"About Mao hour."
"Besides that woman, did you see anyone else at that time?"
"No."
Guo Rui shook his head and said, "I saw a cart by the river."
Su Zhe said: "Then where did the thumping sound you heard come from?"
Guo Rui thought for a while and said: "What I heard at that time seemed to be coming from the cart, but because I was really in a hurry, I didn't think about it in detail."
Su Zhe said: "Apart from this, you heard other sounds."
Guo Rui shook his head, "No!"
"Thank you."
Su Che nodded.
The Royal Police next to the witness box invited Guo Rui down again.
Su Che raised his head and looked at Zhang Fei and said: "Although neither Li Yan nor Guo Rui saw the old woman, according to their confessions, they heard a thumping sound around Mao Shi, and there was no more
Hearing the second sound, it can be seen that they heard the same sound, so the situation at that time was that there was the sound of falling into the water first, and then Wu Zhang ran to the river."
Zhang Fei nodded thoughtfully and then asked: "That is to say, when Guo Rui passed the scene of the crime, Wu's mother had not yet fallen into the river. Logically speaking, he should have seen Wu's mother."
"He can't see."
"Why?"
"Because Wu's mother can't walk and can only crawl, our procuratorate sent people to test it. If Wu's mother got off the cart and climbed to the river by herself, the cart would have blocked Guo Rui's sight.
, so he is invisible."
Su Che picked up another copy of the document, "And we have enough evidence to prove that Wu's mother climbed to the river by herself. According to the results of the previous inspection by the police station, there were traces of dragging on the bank at the crime scene.
Later, our procuratorate went to carefully interrogate the person responsible for the case and checked the records at that time.
In the records written by Wu, Wu’s mother’s palms were all worn out, and there was dirt in her fingernails. The most important thing was that there were signs of wear and tear on Wu’s mother’s pants around her knees, but the heels of her shoes and the backs of her legs were not.
Traces of wear and tear.
This is enough to prove that Wu’s mother climbed over from the cart by herself. Because Wu’s mother was paralyzed and could only crawl with her hands, her hands were bruised. At the same time, her knees were also bruised. If she was dragged over by someone,
Yes, it should also be that the back heel is worn out."
This Song Dynasty's work is quite strong, because the government has a very strict inspection system, and all of this must be written down.
A procuratorate sent Zhang Fei that report and the inspection records he made at that time.
Cai Yanqing and Wei Yingfang looked at each other awkwardly again.
The person responsible for the interrogation and investigation of this case was Wei Yingfang, the prosecutor. However, since Wu Zhang confessed early and there was no possibility of a second murderer, they did not pay attention to these details.
After Zhang Fei read it carefully, he handed it to Cai Jing and others, then frowned and asked Su Zhe: "The evidence above can indeed prove that Wu's mother climbed over by herself, but why does Wu Zhang admit that she pushed Wu
Mother went down."
Su Che said: "That's because Wu Zhang was indeed involved. Due to Wu's mother's mobility difficulties, she could only crawl to the river from where the cart was, but she could not climb to the river from home. It was Wu Zhang who
Wu Zhang pushed her to the river, and Wu Zhang also knew that Wu’s mother was going to commit suicide.”
Zhang Fei frowned when he heard this, glanced at the copy that Xu Zhiqian had just handed over quietly, and said: "According to Article 258 of the "Song Xingtong", all murders are committed by relatives, grandparents, husbands, and husbands.
Grandparents, parents, all beheaded.
Moreover, some comments indicate that there is no distinction between conspiracy, injury, and death. As long as there is a conspiracy, they will all be executed. According to what Prosecutor Su just said, Wu’s mother’s suicide was obviously planned by Wu’s mother and Wu Zhang’s family.
It is not that Mrs. Wu and Zhang had no knowledge, according to the law, it is a crime of murder. Even if Wu Zhang was not the one who pushed Wu’s mother down in the end, she should still be punished by beheading, and it is not considered a crime of manslaughter.”
Many people sitting here nodded, but at the same time there were doubts on their faces. Are you on the same side?
Su Zhe said: "But according to the laws of our dynasty, causing the death of another person beyond the reach of the eyes, ears, and thoughts can be classified as manslaughter. Apparently Wu Zhang helped Wu's mother commit suicide because she was beyond the reach of thoughts."
Zhang Fei asked: "Is there any evidence to prove it?"
Too much thought?
This is hard to prove!
The officials sitting here couldn't help but frown and think.
Su Zhe said: "Because it was Wu's mother who kept pleading, pleading, and even threatened Wu Zhang in a self-abuse way to assist her in committing suicide. In the end, Wu Zhang was forced to agree to Wu's mother and assist her in committing suicide."
Zhang Fei asked: "Is there any evidence for what Prosecutor Su said?"
Su Che said: "Everyone in Huali Village, Guixiang County, knows about this, and Aunt Chen from Huali Village once saw Wu's mother holding Wu Zhang's feet and begging Wu Zhang to help her die. Now Aunt Chen is in court.
In addition, the president of the court can summon her to appear in court to give evidence."
Zhang Fei said: "Pass the Chen family."
Soon, I saw a middle-aged woman coming to the court. This woman was very generous and sat down on the witness chair. Her body was not afraid of the shadow cast, so why not sit down if she could?
Everyone looked at the aunt in surprise, but Zhang Fei, Cai Jing and others showed no expressions.
The same was true for Su Che. He stood up and asked, "Excuse me, Mrs. Chen, where are you from?"
Aunt Chen said: "I am from Lihua Village, Guixiang Township."
Su Che asked again: "I wonder if aunt knows the Wu Lei family."
"I've been his neighbor for decades, how come I don't know him?"
"My aunt is familiar with Wu Lei's wife, Mrs. Wu Zhang."
"Very familiar."
"I wonder what kind of person Wu Zhang is."
"Ms. Wu Zhang is a well-known virtuous wife in our hometown. She not only has to take care of two children, but also takes care of her paralyzed mother. She does not complain at all, and she also manages the house in order. Moreover, she is very filial."
"how do I say this?"
"One time I went diving in the river with Mrs. Wu Zhang. On the way back, Mrs. Wu suddenly fainted and fell to the ground. After being treated by a doctor, she woke up. After asking, she found out that Mrs. Wu had been suffering for three days.
Didn’t eat.”
When Su Zhe asked, the aunt said in a lively voice and danced: "At that time, her husband Wu Lei was also ill, and she was taking care of the whole family, but there was not much food in the family, so Mrs. Wu Zhang gave her
I give food to Wu Mu and Wu Lei, and I drink water to satisfy my hunger. All of us in Guixiang know this."
There was a sense of injustice in his tone.
There were faint sounds of sighs and sobs inside and outside the courtyard.
Many women wiped the corners of their eyes when they heard this.
Mrs. Lu Cha, who was sitting in the court, was already crying profusely.
Su Che asked again: "I heard that my aunt once saw Wu's mother holding Wu Zhang's legs and praying for death."
Aunt Chen nodded and said: "I had just finished working in the vegetable garden that day. When I passed by Wu's house on the way home, I heard crying coming from inside, so I went over to take a look and found that Wu's mother was holding Wu in her arms.
Mrs. Zhang's legs were broken, crying that she didn't want to hurt them, that she was worse off than alive, and then knocked her head on the ground. Ms. Wu and Zhang hurriedly hugged Wu's mother, and the two of them hugged each other and cried. In fact, Wu's mother
It’s not just a day that I asked for death, everyone in this village knows it.”
Su Che asked: "Wu Lei also knows?"
"Know."
Aunt Chen said: "Every now and then, there will be trouble. Don't you know that? But Wu Lei and his wife are very filial. They are always comforting and try their best to take care of Wu's mother. But the more they are like this, then Wu's mother will
The more you want to die."
Su Che said: "Since my son is so filial, why did Wu's mother ask for death?"
"Why else."
Aunt Chen sighed: "Of course she thinks she is dragging them down. Wu Lei and his wife are trying to help Wu's mother with medical treatment, and the family is almost in trouble. Recently, Wu Lei plans to mortgage his own land to borrow money."
"I understand. Thank you very much for your willingness to come to the court to give evidence."
"It's okay for me to run these few steps, but I don't know if you will sentence Mrs. Wu Zhang to death? Mrs. Wu Zhang is really a good woman, please spare her life."
Instead, Aunt Chen asked about Su Zhe.
Su Zhe was stunned for a moment, then he immediately handed over his hands and said, "I'm sorry, this is not something I can decide."
