In the current trial of a case like Chen Chunhua's, if someone points her out, but she doesn't say anything beneficial to herself, she will be punished.
Three arraignments, each time crucial.
When the official came in, he didn't care whether Chu Yunli was seriously injured or not, he just shackled her and dragged her away.
Chu Yunli was too lazy to move on her own and let them drag her past many cells. When they arrived at the execution room, they threw her directly to the ground. The action was so rough that she almost fainted from the pain the moment she landed.
She raised her head and saw an adult in his forties sitting steadily, and an elegant scholar sitting on the table next to him, with a complete set of pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and another person who was respectfully polishing his ink.
"Chen Chunhua, the Zhao family is suing you for killing Zhao Wangshan. Your husband Yu Tongxi, your son Yu Fu, and your daughter-in-law Han all claim that they saw you kill someone accidentally. Do you admit it or not?"
"I don't admit it!" Chu Yunli said in a serious tone, "I didn't kill anyone!"
Chen Chunhua said the same thing yesterday. Mr. Liu, who was in charge, frowned and said, "There are witnesses and evidence of your murder, but you still don't admit it?"
Chu Yunli lay on the ground, "The name of the dead person is Zhao Wangshan?"
Mr. Liu did not answer, but the master who was writing furiously over there replied, "It is indeed Zhao Wangshan."
"I didn't know him before the day before yesterday." Chu Yunli's back hurt. She was not afraid of interrogation, but afraid of moving this section of the road. She took a few deep breaths, tried not to think about the injuries on her body, and tried to explain the matter clearly.
"He came to my house because his daughter-in-law came into the house a few days ago." Now his surname has been changed to Han.
Mr. Liu frowned, "I know all this. He is pestering your daughter-in-law. Your son was fighting with him, but you intervened and accidentally killed someone. Do you admit it or not?"
Seeing that he was impatient, he went to get the lottery from the lottery tube again.
Chu Yunli: "..."
The result was at least ten pieces. She said hurriedly, "I was in the house at the time, and before I could react, someone was already dead outside. Sir, I was wronged! Please redress my grievance!"
Hearing this, Mr. Liu paused and said, "Unjustly accused?"
"Yes!" Chu Yunli answered quickly, trying not to let the top officials speak. Who could bear it if the lottery would be lost if they disagreed?
She never wants to get hurt again!
Mr. Liu met her scorching eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "I'll give you another chance. Tell me about the situation at that time."
He also asked this question yesterday. Unfortunately, Chen Chunhua was still in a daze at that time and couldn't decide whether to take the blame for her son. She just said that she didn't know what happened and she didn't kill anyone anyway. She wasted this opportunity and got punished.
Ultimately, she didn't want to take the blame, but she also didn't want to identify her son personally and hoped that the adults in front of her would find out the matter.
Unfortunately, after yesterday, she had no chance to speak again.
You must know that in current trials, as long as the witnesses and material evidence are the same, the suspect has to find a way to escape the crime on his own. Of course, if he meets a more serious official, he can save a lot of effort.
Chu Yunli told everything about Yu Fu's desire to get married, her refusal to marry Hanqing and her previous customers who came to bother her after Hanqing came in, "It was afternoon when Zhao Wangshan came, and the buns in the shop in front had been sold out.
, I went back to take a nap. I had to get up at night to sell steamed buns. Yu Tongxi and I were sleeping at that time every day. We heard a dispute outside. When we got up, Zhao Wangshan had fallen to the ground in the yard, with his head covered in blood.
At that time, I wanted to go out and ask for a doctor, but I was stopped by the father and son because Zhao Wangshan's entourage was at the door."
"During the dispute, the entourage came in and found Zhao Wangshan on the ground. Later, he reported it to the official. All three of them identified me." Chu Yunli lay on the ground, "Sir, when you asked about it yesterday, I hesitated a little and thought.
To take the blame for my son..."
The laws are strict at the moment, but there is no such thing as culpability. Whoever does it will be punished. After hearing this, Mr. Liu angrily shouted, "Bold!"
"The civilian woman knows her mistake!" Chu Yunli quickly admitted her mistake.
Mr. Liu asked in a deep voice, "They identified you, and you identified your son Yu Fu. Do you dare to confront him?"
"Of course I dare!" If it were Chen Chunhua in her previous life, she might have hesitated, but Chen Chunhua, who had already committed the crime, no longer had any expectations for her son, and even hated her, so how could she protect him?
What's more, it is Chu Yunli who is suffering now, so of course the sooner he gets out, the better.
Master Liu ordered, "Go and bring Yu's family over!"
The officer took the order and left.
Chu Yunli lay on the ground and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Half an hour later, there was a commotion outside, and three people from the Yu family came in.
Chu Yunli only raised her eyes and glanced, but did not move.
After the three people came in, they knelt down in front of the adults. Yu Fu knelt down next to her and said, "Mom, how are you?"
Chu Yunli said nothing.
Yu Fu hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Sir, why doesn't my mother speak?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a silence in the execution room.
Everyone in the house heard it just now. Chen Chunhua said that her husband, son and daughter-in-law unanimously blamed her. If it were true, looking at the injuries all over her body, it would be too late to hate her, and she would not be able to talk to them.
A family turned against each other, which is probably the case now.
Mr. Liu looked at the three people kneeling on the ground and asked in a deep voice, "Chen Chunhua said that she was wronged and she did not kill anyone. All three of you are slandering her. I summoned you here to confront her face to face."
The three of them looked over in surprise. Yu Fu was short-minded and immediately asked, "Did my mother say that?"
He looked at Chu Yunli and said, "Mom, you..."
She frowned affectionately and said, "Please tell me, the three of us witnessed the situation with our own eyes. We all participated in the entanglement, but the one who hit him on the head with a brick was undoubtedly my mother-in-law."
She looked at Chu Yunli and said worriedly, "Mom, I know you don't want to go to jail, but if you do something wrong, you are wrong. You can't slander you so casually. Dad and you have been married for many years. Ah Fu is your son, and I am also your daughter-in-law.
Even if you don’t want to plead guilty, you can’t blame us. No matter who among us takes the blame for you, will you be able to rest at ease for the rest of your life?”
Yu Fu agreed and advised, "Mom, you are so seriously injured. My son feels distressed when he sees it. Stop struggling and just admit it. When the adults are happy, they may give you a lighter sentence. You just accidentally hurt someone."
, he will not be sentenced to beheading, and will be imprisoned for a few years at most. When the time comes, I will visit you more with Hanqing. If we have children, we will also bring them to see you. We all know that you do this
Everything is for the Yu family, even if you are a murderer, we will not dislike you. When you come out, our whole family will come to pick you up."
Both of them tried to persuade her with the love between mother and child, and even brought out their grandson.
What else is there to say about being disgusted?
Master Liu became impatient and asked again, "Chen Chunhua, what else do you have to say?"
Chu Yunli raised his eyes, "Sir, didn't you hear that they kept hinting that I would confess my crime? They also said that they would not dislike me and would take me home in the future. It is not their turn to dislike me for such a family, so I don't want it now.
Got them."
As soon as she spoke, Yu Fu's expression changed drastically and he exclaimed, "How can you still speak?"
Chu Yunli sneered and asked, "Because I didn't eat your bowl of meat!"
Not only Yu Fu, but also Han Qing and Yu Tongxi's expressions changed.
Either ginger or old is spicy. The first person to react was Yu Tongxi. He said in a deep voice, "What are you talking about? I am giving you meat with good intentions..."
Chu Yunli sneered, "Giving meat? Isn't there any medicine in the meat?"
Although she didn't eat, Chen Chunhua definitely did. She slept soundly last night, and she vaguely knew that the old woman next door struggled for half the night. If she guessed correctly, the old woman is now mute.
Seeing the argument break out, Mr. Liu angrily shouted, "What is going on? Tell me clearly!"
"My good son came to see me yesterday and asked my good daughter-in-law to stew a bowl of braised pork for me. I was reluctant to eat it and gave it to the old lady next to me. When I was interrogated just now, I found that she could no longer speak.
." Chu Yunli said seriously, "Sir, the three of them unanimously accused me of murder. There was no one else at the time, so I couldn't prove it myself. However, they gave me medicine and wanted me to be dumb and admit that the crime was true. What if?
There is nothing wrong in your heart, why should you make me mute? The old lady is still in prison, you can find out after seeing the doctor!"
Nowadays, when investigating cases, we basically rely on witness. Without others seeing it, it would be difficult for Chen Chunhua to get away with it.
It is difficult, but there is hope. If more serious officials interrogate Yu's family repeatedly, they may be able to find out the truth.
However, if Chen Chunhua was simply mute and unable to testify herself, the officials would think that she was too seriously injured and could not speak. Since both the witnesses and physical evidence were there, the case could be closed.
Mr. Liu's face was livid, and he ordered with a dark face, "Bring the guard over here!"
The guard came over quickly, knelt down and said immediately, "He did come yesterday. We thought about the deep love between mother and son, and Chen Chunhua got hit again. We were afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear it. So we let him come in to deliver medicine and beg for punishment."
"
The guards can let people come in to visit, but only after they have been convicted. According to the law, people who are still under interrogation are not allowed to see outsiders. Yesterday they let people in, which was against the rules at all.
They might as well accept the punishment directly.
If you admit your mistake like this, you don’t know how big of a mistake you made.
Mr. Liu looked extremely ugly and ordered, "Go and bring the woman Chen Chunhua pointed out to you!"
When the old woman was brought over, her voice was "ho ho" and she was holding her neck and couldn't utter a single word.
The faces of the Yu family were ugly, and Yu Tongxi and Yu Fu stared at Yu Fu affectionately, full of hatred that iron cannot be transformed into steel.
Yu Fu explained, "You can't rely on me for this matter. She only eats steamed buns and won't eat anything. The guard urged me to leave again. How did I know that she was willing to let others eat the braised pork?" He glared at Chu Yunli bitterly.
Chu Yunli: "..." You blame me for not taking the medicine?
