Nodding, the town official continued to the next step and said: "Now we enter the stage of producing evidence. The plaintiff will present evidence first."
The plaintiff's lawyer said: "We asked witness Tang Lou to come and testify to prove that the vase belongs to our client."
"Chuang Tanglou."
Lin Zhongchun knew about the existence of Tanglou.
While investigating the Qin brothers, she learned some information about Tanglou. Although Tanglou could prove that he had seen vases in Liu Qizhi's home, it could not prove that the vases in Zhao Guang's home were the same ones as Liu Qizhi's.
Therefore, Lin Zhongchun was not afraid of Tang Lou going to court at all.
As she expected, Tanglou couldn't say anything when he came up. He just stated that when he was a guest at Liu Qizhi's home, he had seen the vase from a distance, but he didn't know the specific details of the vase.
After questioning, he obtained a testimony about the tenement building. The town official turned to ask Lin Zhongchun: "Does the defendant have any evidence to present?"
Lin Zhongchun nodded: "Before presenting our evidence, grassroots people apply for on-site demonstration."
The town official said: "Yes."
With the permission of the town official, Lin Zhongchun took out the flour that Zhao Guang had prepared in advance at the gate of the Yamen and said, "Please take out the controversial vase."
The town official glanced at the person next to him, and then the Yamen officer placed the vase on the table in front of where the town official was sitting and brought the vase to Lin Zhongchun.
The town official said to Lin Zhongchun: "How are you going to demonstrate?"
In fact, before the trial began, Lin Zhongchun told the town officials her plan and how she would demonstrate it.
However, the plaintiff was unaware of this and had to let Lin Zhongchun explain it again during the trial to let the other party know the situation.
Lin Zhongchun said: "After understanding the facts of the case, our client did not have direct contact with the vase after Qin Yu presented it to him, and kept it aside. The flour is in powder form. If the flour is sprinkled on the vase,
On the surface of the vase, whoever touches the vase will show their fingerprints, and the ownership of the vase will be clear at a glance.”
"It is indeed a good idea." The town official looked at the yamen officer standing next to him and said, "Go and call Zhang Wuzuo."
Because the vase is still controversial, the experiment can only be carried out by people from the yamen, and no one outside the yamen can be allowed to do it. This is the so-called official effect.
Zhang Wuzuo was so fast that the town official asked people to go. Within a few minutes, Zhang Wuzuo walked out with a bag of flour. The flour was taken from the back kitchen of the Yamen. It is better to use home-made things.
Otherwise, it will be easy to catch people's tongue.
Using cloth gloves, he placed the vase on the newly added table in the middle of the court hall. Zhang Zuozuo began to implement the steps Lin Zhongchun said. He first lightly sprinkled flour on the surface of the vase, then bent down and blew up the flour attached to the surface.
After blowing it off, his face was stained with white flour, and the fingerprints on the vase also appeared.
Just as Lin Zhongchun said, fingerprints appeared on it and were clearly visible.
Zhang Wuzuo looked at it carefully and said: "Sir, this vase has two different fingerprints. If you want to know who these two fingerprints belong to, you need to compare their fingerprints."
After saying this, Zhang Wuzuo walked up to Liu Qizhi with a piece of paper and ink. After getting his fingerprints, he went to collect Zhao Guang's fingerprints.
In this way, Zhang Wuzuo had the fingerprints of the parties involved in the dispute. After comparing them with the fingerprints on the vase, the results came out quickly.
Zhang Wuzuo said: "Sir, after comparison, the common people found that neither Liu Qizhi nor Zhao Guang's fingerprints have anything to do with the fingerprints on the vase."
"I'm not convinced!" Liu Qizhi couldn't help shouting, "Before today's court hearing, the vase had been stored with Zhao Guang. Now that neither his nor Cao Min's fingerprints appear on the vase, it doesn't mean that the vase was not stolen by Zhao Guang.
If he left, it’s not impossible if he did something before!"
Zhao Guang retorted: "How do I know where the fingerprint is?"
Lin Zhongchun followed up and said: "Four easily adheres to the surface of the vase. If this method has been implemented before, it will definitely leave traces. Caomin and others trust your judgment."
Now there are only disadvantages and no advantages to the argument. Lin Zhongchun winked at Zhao Guang, signaling the other party to calm down.
Zhao Guang saw the wink Lin Zhongchun gave him. He originally wanted to argue with Liu Qizhi about the merits of each other, but he had no choice but to shut his mouth.
What Miss Lin said yesterday was that she told herself to keep trusting her. Zhao Guang could only choose to believe in Miss Lin now. After all, the hope of clearing his name rested on Miss Lin.
The town official has indeed made his own judgment, "Plaintiff, do you have anything else to say?"
"Sir, the common people think that using flour..."
"Snapped--"
The sound of the scaffold was struck, and Liu Qizhi's words were abruptly interrupted. The town official turned to ask Lin Zhongchun: "Does the defendant still have a defense?"
Lin Zhongchun: "No."
"Now that we have understood the facts of the case, both parties have submitted evidence and testimony. Regarding today's case, the verdict of the case will be announced on the public bulletin board in three days. Today's court hearing will end here. Retreat -
—”
"Snapped--"
The gavel was struck again, and the town officials stood up and retreated under the sound of the killing stick.
There are still questions about the fingerprints on the vases. We cannot give a verdict at the scene. We have to find out who the fingerprints on the vases belong to and what kind of connection they have, so that we can draw a conclusion on the case and give a verdict.
As soon as the town officials left, Zhao Guang stood up immediately. He had been kneeling for a long time and his steps were slightly swaying. "Miss Lin, can we accomplish this?"
"We'll know in three days." Lin Zhongchun has an answer in her heart, but she will not tell this answer to Zhao Guang. After all, after the answer in her heart is spoken, any difference between the answer in her heart and the final result will arouse the other party's emotions.
dissatisfied, so smart people will not casually reveal the results of their speculations regarding the verdict of the case.
Zhao Guang pursed his lips. He couldn't see anything from Miss Lin's face, and he didn't know if he could clear his name this time.
After leaving the Yamen, Lin Zhongchun and Zhao Guang parted ways. Now Sun Zhaozhou is still attending the Spring Festival, and the vacation time she and her husband took has not yet come. Since she is now in Kyoto City, she will find something to do so that she can earn some money.
Enough for travel expenses.
I still thought that my trip to Kyoto would be fruitful, but unfortunately things couldn't keep up with the changes.
Sitting under a small teahouse at the intersection, Lin Zhongchun carefully observed the passers-by on the street. Everyone walked very fast and in a hurry, as if they were very busy, and the pace of life was still very fast.
