If a trial is said to be the most exciting, the twists and turns and ups and downs are always the most exciting.
And today's court hearing is undoubtedly an exciting example.
Before the trial, everyone thought the case was finalized.
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, faced with the preferential treatment proposed by the garrison office, Shi Xinrong actually refused it even with the approval of the government office.
The reason is very positive and sunny.
Because I am 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 initial contempt and abuse towards Shi Xinrong disappeared in an instant.
Many people even have the urge to cry.
What a good general, he actually 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 aggressive questioning by Zheng Yuankai.
In an instant, the entire court hearing scene exploded.
"What did he just say? Brother Feng, I didn't hear it clearly. Did he say he was not guilty?"
"You should really 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. If it is not a crime, of course it is not guilty. Not pleading guilty means that someone denies that they did it. Tsk tsk tsk, there is a good show to watch today.
Already."
"No, how can you still play like this? Killing people in front of everyone, there is nothing to argue with. Even if you don't plead guilty."
"Tsk, 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, so I almost cried. What the hell, I didn't even dare to take it seriously. He really isn't a man."
"Whether you're a man or not doesn't depend on your 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 shouts of applause.
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 Mr. 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 have to resist.
He has seen many such prisoners. Maybe these people have their 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 Capt. was the first to say: "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 attention 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 me 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 of Delin Mansion in the Qingsong Kingdom.
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, the kind that makes a deep impression on people when they see him.
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 why don't you prove it to me?"
When Sun Yi heard this, he was not angry. 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, do you know that Shi Xinrong knows Yu Liqiang?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
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. Does he know Yu Liqiang? How does he know? 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 would like to ask everyone in the audience if anyone knows or has 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 interactions 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, we must first find the motive for murder."
