Chapter 207: I don't want to remember
"That night, I had a fever, my face was swollen, I couldn't sleep, and at about half past ten, my father came back, and he was staying in the same room with my mother, and I heard my mother's screams. Shang Yuling said.
"Why is your mother screaming?"
"I didn't know, I thought they might be fighting, but I was too timid to go over and look. Shang Yuling said truthfully.
"And then?"
"Half an hour later I was very thirsty and I didn't see my father come into the house, he used to come to see me before going to bed. So, I quietly got up and stuck to the crack in the door to watch. Shang Yuling said.
"What's going on inside?"
"I can smell a bad burnt smell, the windows are open, my father is wearing only big pants, he is throwing things into the stove, I feel strange, this season, there is no need to burn the stove. Shang Yuling said.
"What are you throwing on?"
"His shoes, his mother seemed to be crying, and her body was shaking. ”
"Did you hear their conversation?" asked Yuan Dan.
"No, I stood at the door and watched for five minutes, and they didn't speak, and then I went to the kitchen and drank a few sips of water carefully, and then went back to the house and went to sleep again. ”
"Later, did you ask about it?"
"I asked my mother, and she said that my father had stuck dirty things and told me not to ask again. At that time, it was still very superstitious, and I never mentioned it again. Shang Yuling said.
"Do you know where your father went that day?" asked Yuan Dan about the key points.
"He went to my grandmother's house in the village and said that my grandmother was sick, but in fact, my grandmother lived alone, which was very inconvenient, and she should take over to live with us, but my mother did not agree, and they often quarreled because of this. Shang Yuling said.
Answering Yuan Dan's question, Shang Yuling has been trying to stay calm, but there are still two strings of uncontrollable tears that slipped from the corners of her eyes, and she didn't reach out to wipe them.
The facts of the case are already very clear, Shang Zaijun went to Fuyu Village, judging from the time, he had enough time to commit the crime, and burning shoes and other practices was also to destroy the evidence.
"Witness Shang Yuling, do you have anything else to say?"
"Before my mother died, she kept crying, saying that she had sinned so much that she couldn't atone for her sins in the underworld. I didn't know the meaning of this sentence before, but now I finally understand. Shang Yuling's voice became choked.
"Presiding Judge, the prosecution's questioning is over. Yuan Dan said.
"Does the defense need to question witnesses?" Fang said.
"There's a problem. Chi Weiran raised his hand again, trying to make a final effort.
"It's time to go. Fang Chaoyang said.
"Witness Shang Yuling, does your father often beat you?"
"In my memory, not once, he loved me very much and always tried to give me the best. Shang Yuling replied.
"Are there very harsh requirements, you must be successful in your studies, you must choose his favorite son-in-law, you must visit him at a fixed time, etc., otherwise you will be snubbed, despised, and spoken ill of each other?"
Chi Weiran also wanted to prove that Shang Zaijun had soft violence against his daughter, and this form of attack was even more terrible than direct violence.
"Oppose, the defense cannot be guided by assumptions. Yuan Dan raised his hand.
"The objection is invalid, witness, please answer. Fang Chaoyang said.
"The desire of a daughter to become a phoenix is the wish of every father, and my father is no exception, and he is naturally strict, but I think that he has always been very good to me, never scolded me, and is also very concerned. Shang Yuling said.
"Twenty years ago, on the night of June 25th, how many degrees of fever did you have?" Chi Weiran continued.
"I don't know, I didn't take my temperature, I just felt feverish, my face hurt, and I had a headache. Shang Yuling said.
"Are you sure you're conscious?"
"Sure. ”
"How is that determined?"
Shang Yuling was stunned for a moment, and replied: "I already have a memory at that time, of course I can be sure, this lawyer, how can you be sure, you are not dreaming now?"
"I'm in good health. ”
"How can you be sure that the feeling that everything in your body is normal is not fake?" asked Shang Yuling.
"Witness Shang Yuling, you are quibbling, do you have religious beliefs?" Chi Weiran couldn't answer, and threw out another question.
"I know, you want to prove that everything I saw was not true, that my father did not kill. At the beginning, I always thought that he, like many fathers, was willing to guard the ordinary, silent like a mountain, and just wanted to protect his children in the simplest way, hoping that the children could live a good life. When I learned that he had been donating money to help his students, I even thought he was great, and after he was arrested for killing Sha Meizi, I also believed his words, and only killed people on impulse and in defense......"
Shang Yuling finally couldn't help crying, tears couldn't stop falling, and Shang Zaijun, who was in the dock, heard his daughter's heartfelt words, and also shed tears and let out a low cry.
"Witness Shang Yuling, you haven't answered my question yet. Chi didn't say yet.
"Everything I just said is true, I have seen it with my own eyes, and I remember it vividly. Dad, this is the last time I call you like this, you only know how to love your daughter, why don't you want to think about how painful it is for other people's fathers to lose their daughters? Those are all young girls! What right do you have to deprive them of their lives? I, I am ashamed of you, I can't hold my head up in this life......" Shang Yuling said loudly.
In the auditorium, there was also a father, who heard Shang Yuling's words, and immediately heard an irrepressible cry, his daughter was brutally killed, and it was a pain that could never be healed.
"Xiaoling, don't say it anymore, don't say it. Shang Zaijun thumped his head, "Dad doesn't want to kill, but he was controlled by the devil, I always want to make amends, I have lost a lot, your mother ......"
"No need to make excuses, killing pays for your life, even if you die, it is not enough to compensate, I will never go to pay tribute to you, and my mother who has been hiding the truth for you! She shouldn't have been so short-lived, she is under too much psychological pressure!"
"Your mother is not wrong, she, she is just cowardly and wants to keep this home. ”
"She's a murderer just like you......" Shang Yuling's voice became lower, and she suddenly fainted in the courtroom.
"Quickly send the witness Shang Yuling to the hospital. Fang Chaoyang hurriedly said.
"Xiaoling...... Let go of my ......"
"The court is now adjourned, and the trial will resume at 2 p.m., bring the defendant down, and pay attention to maintaining order in the courtroom. Fang Chaoyang commanded, and knocked down the gavel heavily.
"Murderer! Devil! Avenge your daughter. The victim's relatives also lost control, got up one after another, and rushed towards Shang Zaijun.
Immediately, several more bailiffs came in, stopped the angry crowd, and quickly took Shang Zaijun down.
When Fang Chaoyang left the courtroom, Chi Weiran was still standing there, as if he was petrified, he had participated in countless court trials, and today was undoubtedly the most memorable, and it will be remembered forever.
