Not long after returning to the office, Xiao Zhao came in, and the defense lawyer Chi Weiran and Yao Wuyan wanted to meet the presiding judge and discuss some things.

Fang Chaoyang refused, no, what to say in court, a private meeting in this case does not conform to the process.

"Head, it's domineering enough. Xiao Zhao smiled, "I'll reply to them." ”

"Tell them that if the witness Xu Guangyuan is called, he may have to testify in court. Fang Chaoyang said.

"The old man was obviously talking nonsense. ”

"He's already causing trouble, and the bell still has to be tied to the bell. ”

The trial started at 10 o'clock in the morning, which was also deliberate by Fang Chaoyang yesterday, and then, the members of the collegial panel held another meeting in advance, and Gao Yiwei and Mu Fan were also very happy when they heard the prosecutor's testimony against Xu Guangyuan and found a new witness.

It's all for a righteous cause, wicked people like Shang Zaijun don't die, and God is unfair.

In the anxious waiting of the media reporters, at ten o'clock in the morning, Fang Chaoyang and the three of them re-entered the judge's seat, all the members stood up, and the venue was silent.

"Please sit down, continue yesterday's trial, and bring the defendant Shang Zaijun up. Fang Chaoyang said.

Chi Weiran and Yao Wuyan's faces were not good-looking, and they both vaguely felt that things had changed after a night of delay.

Shang Zaijun appeared in the dock, yawning constantly, he didn't sleep well last night, and his heart was also uneasy.

"Continuing yesterday's cross-examination, does the prosecution still have any evidence to present?" Fang Chaoyang asked.

"Yes, the prosecution applied for witness Fan Fuyang to testify in court. Yuan Dan said.

"Allowed, the witness Fan Fuyang appeared in court. ”

A moment later, a man in his early fifties was brought up by the bailiff, and when he saw his dress, Shang Zaijun was completely stunned, and his eyes showed extreme incredulity.

Fan Fuyang was wearing a dark blue tunic suit, which was a popular style in the countryside many years ago, with black straight-leg pants and a pair of white-washed galoshes under his feet.

Shang Zaijun couldn't help but be surprised, because Fan Fuyang's dress was too similar to him back then.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Fan Fuyang's figure is very similar to Shang Zaijun, but his appearance is different, Fan Fuyang is more loyal, because of his perennial work, his skin is darker.

Chi Weiran's face became more and more ugly, from this dress, he had already guessed the purpose of the prosecution, and it seemed that the carefully planned matter was about to come to naught.

"Please sit down and tell us your name, age, and occupation. Fang Chaoyang said.

"Fan Fuyang, 51 years old, farming. ”

As usual, Fang Chaoyang explained the responsibility of witnesses and that perjury would be held accountable, and Fan Fuyang said that he heard clearly, but his eyes kept looking at the defendant's seat.

Shang Zaijun was very uncomfortable, and looked elsewhere, he had no popularity in Fuyu Village, because his personality was a little withdrawn at that time, and only Wu Lanfang's father took care of his family. As a result, he was ungrateful and murdered Wu Lanfang brutally.

After signing the guarantee, Yuan Dan asked directly: "Witness Fan Fuyang, where are you at 9 p.m. on June 25 of the Gregorian calendar twenty years ago?"

"I was by the river, and I was crying. Fan Fuyang said.

"Because of what?"

"Family trivialities, being beaten by my daughter-in-law, always feel very wronged, so I find a place to cry. ”

"Have you ever met Xu Guangyuan?" asked Yuan Dan.

"See, he also went to the river, sneaky, in fact, everyone knows, he hid a fishing cage under the wicker. Fan Fuyang said.

"Objections, the prosecution sought witnesses similar to the defendant's form to confuse the public. Chi Weiran finally couldn't hold it anymore, got up and said loudly.

"Defender, you have to be responsible for your words, will the prosecution, as a judicial organ, frame the defendant by any means?" said Yuan Dan, slapping the table.

"I have reservations about it. Chi Weiran snorted.

"Judge, I was wronged, I was by the river that night. Shang Zaijun shouted, the green veins on his neck exposed.

"Defendant, you said yesterday that you don't remember clearly. Yuan Dan took advantage of the situation and said.

"I, one night, I remembered. "Shang Zaijun said.

The witness Xu Guangyuan arrived in court. Fang Chaoyang said coldly.

Xu Guangyuan was waiting outside, and was soon brought up by the bailiff, and when he saw Fan Fuyang's dress, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said in a lost voice: "Da Yangzi, why are you here?"

"Lao Xu, at night in the twentieth year, by the river, what you see is me. Fan Fuyang knew that Xu Guangyuan was behind his ear, and said in a loud voice.

"No, what I saw was Shang Zaijun. Xu Guangyuan scratched his head and said.

"Witness Xu Guangyuan, how far away were you from the person you saw at that time?" asked Yuan Dan.

"Almost ten meters. ”

"Under the moonlight, are you sure that you can see the other party's face clearly at this distance?" Yuan Dan continued.

"I, I have a good look. Xu Guangyuan is still arguing.

"Lao Xu, I saw you, carrying a cage in your hand and wearing the work clothes of the garbage disposal plant. Fan Fuyang said.

"It seems to be ......" Xu Guangyuan was also a little confused.

"Does the defense need to question the witness Fan Fuyang?" Fang Chaoyang asked.

"Yes!"

"Ask!" Fang Chaoyang nodded.

Chi Weiran stood up directly and asked coldly: "Witness Fan Fuyang, how do you remember the incident of twenty years ago so clearly?"

Everyone in the village remembers it, not to mention, the police have asked me many times, and I went out that night, and I was afraid that I would be suspected of being the murderer. Fan Fuyang said.

"Why did you go to the river and cry, and how did your wife beat you?" Chi Weiran asked.

"Objections, the defense's questioning has nothing to do with the facts of the case. Yuan Dan raised his hand.

The objection was invalid, and the witness, Fan Fuyang, answered the defense's questions. Fang Chaoyang said very fairly.

"The river is secluded, not far from the village, and I used to go for a walk when I was bored. My daughter-in-law just slapped me twice, but it was nothing, and I couldn't think about it at that time. Fan Fuyang said.

"How can you be sure that the person you see is Xu Guangyuan?" Chi Weiran asked.

"He likes to walk obliquely, and the people in the village say that because he is too lazy, he always goes in one direction and is unwilling to turn over. Also, he carries a cage in his hand. Fan Fuyang said with a smile.

"Presiding Judge, I don't have a problem. Chi Weiran did not ask the witness this time, and said helplessly.

"Does the prosecution still have any questions?" Fang Chaoyang asked again.

"Presiding Judge, the prosecution applied for the appearance of another witness. Yuan Dan said again.

"Allowed, what's your name?" Fang Chaoyang agreed.

"Rebecheng. ”

The witness Lei Beicheng appeared in court. ”

Another witness came to the courtroom, in his early forties, with a burly build, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a straight waist when he walked, looking quite heroic.

The witness stand could no longer stand, so Fang Chaoyang asked him to stand outside and asked, "Please tell me your name, age, and occupation." ”

Lei Beicheng, 42 years old, was originally a police officer at the Pingshan Town Police Station, and now works for the Dong'an Agricultural Products Import and Export Company. ”
