Chapter 497 What a coincidence(1/2)
Sun Rulan wiped away her tears and said, "I've thought about it, sue!"
At this point, Jia Kun had no way to avoid it, so he had to say: "This is what I have said. If you insist on suing, please provide evidence, otherwise it will be a false accusation!"
He kept emphasizing evidence, but he was sure that Sun Rulan could not produce any strong evidence.
You said your father was killed. How can you prove this?
It is almost impossible to have physical evidence. As for human witnesses...who dares to testify for you?
Even if someone comes forward to testify, they only need to find a few loopholes in the testimony, and then insist that the testimony is unreliable, and then they will be convicted of perjury.
Sun Rulan said: "My father and I make a living by running a tofu shop. Half a month ago, the housekeeper of the Liu family came to the door and said that he wanted to build a new house for the Liu family. He took a fancy to the land and offered five taels of silver.
My father refused."
"Why refuse?"
"After selling the tofu shop, what will my father and daughter do for a living?"
Jia Kun had no expression on his face and said, "You continue talking."
"Later on, Butler Liu came a few more times. When he saw that my father was determined not to sell, he began to threaten me, saying that whatever the Liu family wanted would belong to the Liu family sooner or later. He also said that my father would be fined if he refused to drink a toast.
Within three days, if my father still doesn’t agree to sell the tofu shop, then...just..."
"Just how?"
"Just waiting to collect the body for me..."
"What do you mean by collecting the body for you?"
Sun Rulan wiped her tears and said: "Three days later, a gangster named Ma Liu came to the tofu shop to cause trouble. He said that my tofu was unclean and he had a bad stomach. He asked for compensation. Sir, my tofu has always been clean. Since then,
Never before..."
"Tell me the important point!"
"That Ma Liu asked for compensation for the cost of his decoction and medicine, or else he would sue the government. My father wanted to open his business. One more thing would be better than one less thing, so he was ready to pay for it. However, he actually asked for ten taels of silver, and said that unless the tofu shop
Sell it to the Liu family, or you will lose money."
"Then what?"
Jia Kun listened with great interest, almost forgetting that he was trying a case.
"My father couldn't get the money, so Ma Liu kidnapped me and said I would use it to pay for the medicine. My father got into a fight with him, but Ma Liu hit me in the back of the head with a brick, killing me on the spot!"
"Beast!"
Jia Kun's teeth were itching with hatred and he couldn't help but curse out loud.
Yuan Bin, who was sitting next to him, saw this and said, "Prefect Jia also thinks that this person's behavior is worse than a beast?"
Jia Kun suddenly realized that it was wrong, he should be on the side of the beast...
However, if you think about the dirty deeds done by the Liu family and Ma Liu, what kind of thing is this!
"This...Sun Rulan, what you just said is true?"
"Return to the lord, everything is true!"
"good!"
Jia Kun was stunned and said seriously: "I'll ask you again. Do you have any evidence that the Liu family instigated Ma Liu to commit murder?"
"Many people on the street saw it."
"Who saw it? Why didn't you come to testify?"
"They, they...were worried about retaliation from the Liu family."
Snapped!
The alarm sounded again, and Jia Kun said with a dark face: "Everything you say is all your own words. How can you prove that the Liu family is guilty?"
Sun Rulan was frightened and cried: "Then Ma Liu was sent by the Liu family. He has been saying that as long as the tofu shop is sold to the Liu family, the matter will be over..."
"What nonsense!"
Jia Kun now understood that when this person came to complain, there was no evidence at all.
Why are you so polite? Just give him a slap and find him falsely accused!
"The Liu family is a prominent figure in Nanjing. How could they covet your family's land? Your father obviously slipped and fell into a well and drowned. The Liu family often took care of your family's business and even took the initiative to pay for it to you.
Dad is buried, but your father once borrowed money from the Liu family and has not paid it back yet. Do you want to default on the debt by framing the Liu family like this?"
"I didn't lie, and my father never borrowed money from the Liu family..."
"How dare you quibble!"
Jia Kun took out a black lottery ticket from the bucket and threw it on the ground.
"Come here, drag me down and beat me twenty more times!"
Two officers came forward, dragged Sun Rulan up and walked out.
Sun Rulan quickly shouted: "Master, save me!"
Jia Kun sneered: "You seem to have the nerve to wait for the unruly people..."
Halfway through my words, I suddenly felt something was wrong.
Sun Rulan was still shouting: "Master, you promised to make the decision for me, but I was wronged..."
Jia Kun's mind reacted very quickly. How had he ever promised her anything?
If it's not me, then...
He followed Sun Rulan's gaze and saw Yuan Bin looking at him with a smile on his face.
Perhaps because of this person's special status, I don't know why, but I always feel that this smile is uglier than crying.
The commander of the Jin Yiwei smiled at himself, and it was hard not to think of a night owl.
When that thing smiles, life or death is really unpredictable.
"Wait a moment!"
Jia Kun waved his hand knowingly, then looked at Yuan Bin and said respectfully: "Commander Yuan, do you think there is any doubt about this case...?"
Yuan Bin declined and said: "I am just observing and cannot comment."
When Jia Kun heard this, he immediately understood. No wonder a weak-legged man dared to sue a retired official. It turned out that he had someone's backing!
"Commander Yuan, you are so polite. There are countless major and important cases handled by Jin Yiwei. I am just going to humbly ask for advice!"
Yuan Bin then said in embarrassment: "Then I'll... just talk nonsense?"
Jia Kun hurriedly said: "Please!"
Yuan Bin nodded, and then said: "Since it is Yingtian Mansion's case, it is not convenient for me to participate in it. Let me just say it casually. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, Magistrate Jia does not need to take it seriously."
"Commander Yuan is so humble, please speak!"
Yuan Bin then put away the smile on his face and said: "First of all, this is a murder case. Since it involves human lives, it must not be a trivial matter. We cannot easily draw conclusions because of insufficient evidence."
This sentence is directly aimed at Jia Kun’s trump card. Don’t you want evidence? Let me tell you first. You have to check whether there is evidence. If there is no evidence, go find it yourself!
Jia Kun's face looked a little ugly, and his smile began to become awkward.
Yuan Bin continued: "Let's talk about the case itself. In fact, the doubts are very obvious. How did Lao Suntou die?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "After the incident, the Liu family once mentioned that the old grandson fell into the well and drowned."
"That'll make it easier!"
Yuan Bin nodded and said: "Sun Rulan said that she was hit in the back of the head with a brick by the gangster Ma Liu and died on the spot, but the Liu family said that she fell into a well and drowned. One of the two people must be lying. Let's go check it out.
It’ll be clear now!”
Jia Kun thought for a while and said: "No one reported the incident when it happened. Now that the deceased has been buried, I'm afraid..."
"You can't dig it out if you bury it?"
"Isn't this... inappropriate?"
Sun Rulan suddenly said: "I am willing to dig out my father's body and re-examine the cause of death!"
"Sun Rulan, you have to calm down. The dead person is the most important. Your father has been buried, so don't disturb him anymore."
"If this matter is not investigated clearly, my father will never die in peace!"
Jia Kun had no choice but to say: "Even if it turns out that Ma Liu really hit Lao Suntou to death with a brick, it can only mean that Ma Liu committed murder and there is no evidence pointing to the Liu family."
"This will be easier to do!"
Yuan Bin suddenly smiled and then ordered: "Bring that Ma Liu to court!"
"ah?"
Jia Kun was suddenly stunned, "How dare you have arrested me already after interrogating me for so long?"
Seeing this, Yuan Bin explained: "Prefect Jia, don't worry too much. This Ma Liu committed a murder on the street yesterday and was captured by Jin Yiwei. He took the initiative to confess something, which happened to be related to today's case. Isn't it a coincidence?"
