Chapter 126: Extremely dangerous
It may be the first time to go to court, Cui Erchang looked a little nervous, stood on the witness stand, rubbed his hands together and giggled.
"Please sit down!" Fang Chaoyang said.
"Thank you, Your Excellency. Cui Erchang's words caused a burst of laughter.
"Tell me your name, age, and occupation. ”
"My name is Cui Erchang, I am 43 years old this year, my profession is farming, and I occasionally help others kill pigs and sheep. ”
The state has long banned private slaughter, and there is no guarantee of the health of livestock, nor can it talk about sanitary quarantine. But in rural areas, the profession of butcher still exists, and there are also cases of pushing carts and shouting to sell meat, and it is also branded as green and pollution-free.
This is not the focus of this case, lawyer Tian Yunsu found Cui Erchang, which should be related to Liu Zhu's murderous knife.
After reading out the obligations and responsibilities of the witnesses and signing the guarantee, Fang Chaoyang said: "Please ask the defender to ask questions of the witnesses." ”
"Cui Erchang, where did the knife that Liu Zhu used to stab He Maoxian come from?" Tian Yunsu asked.
"It's me, it's really unlucky, the knife was stained with human blood, and it was confiscated. Cui Erchang said dissatisfied.
"When and under what pretext did he take it?"
"Before Liu Zhu died, he ran to my house drunk, saying that he borrowed my pig-killing knife and used it, went home to kill the dog, and said that he would give me dog meat. Cui Erchang said.
"Do you have any doubts about Liu Zhu's true purpose of borrowing the knife?" Tian Yunsu continued to ask.
"At first, no, but then he ran out, and I seemed to hear him scolding on the road to kill that stinky woman, so I felt that something was wrong and quickly chased him out. He ran very fast, and there was no one, and I found that he was not at home, and the dog was fine, so I looked everywhere, and saw Da Linzi pulling the bloodied fairy out of the house with a tricycle. ”
"Please describe the situation when you saw Liu Zhu at that time. Tian Yunsu said.
Liu Zhu's face was covered with blood, he was lying on the ground smoking, and he was still holding a knife in his hand, I was frightened and hurriedly called the police. Cui Erchang said.
"Are you sure he has a knife in his hand?" asked Tian Yunsu.
"I really saw it, and it wasn't until the police car and the ambulance came that the knife fell to the ground. Cui Erchang said.
"Presiding judge, the defense has finished questioning. ”
Tian Yunsu is a very experienced lawyer, and her questioning of Cui Erchang confirmed three things. Liu Zhu had the purpose of killing his wife, and after being knocked down by He Maolin with a beer bottle, Liu Zhu did not die immediately, and kept holding a knife in his hand, indicating that he might attack He Maolin again.
Tian Yunsu has been trying to prove that Liu Zhu is extremely dangerous, and in that case, He Maolin's actions count as legitimate defense.
"Does the prosecutor have any questions?" Fang Chaoyang asked.
"Yes!" said Yuan Dan.
"The prosecutor is invited to question the witnesses. ”
"Witness Cui Erchang, what you just said, it seems that I heard Liu Zhu say that he was going to kill that stinky woman, it seems that this word should be understood as uncertain, right?" Yuan Dan said.
"I object, the prosecutor is deliberately picking on the ability of witnesses to speak. Tian Yunsu got up and said.
"The objection was invalid, and the witness answered the prosecution's questions. Fang Chaoyang said.
"I heard it clearly, that's how he scolded, otherwise he wouldn't have run out to find him. Cui Erchang said.
"When you first saw the victim Liu Zhu, did his eyes be closed?" Yuan Dan continued.
"There is a crack exposed, I actually want to take the knife down, but I am afraid that he will accidentally hurt me. Cui Erchang replied.
"In your opinion, Liu Zhu should be in a state of near death, right?"
"It's not good, I keep pumping there, and there seems to be blood foam at the corner of my mouth. ”
"Presiding judge, the prosecutor has finished asking questions. Yuan Dan said.
Cui Erchang was taken out of the courtroom, and he didn't forget to shout when he looked back, He Maolin was a warm-hearted and good person, which made He Maolin in the defendant's seat a little moved, and tears rolled in his eyes.
Defense lawyer Tian Yunsu continued to apply for witnesses to testify in court, and it was He Maolin's sister He Maoxian.
She is also a real victim, but the perpetrator of the crime, Liu Zhu, is dead, and she is husband and wife, so there is no way to pursue relevant responsibility and compensation.
He Maoxian came to the witness stand with tears in her eyes, and after going through the process, she suddenly made a bold move that stunned everyone.
"Look, Judge, this is the brute's stabbing that almost touched my heart, if it weren't for my brother, I would have died. He Maoxian tore off his shirt, revealing his not fair chest.
A dark red scar, lying on his left chest like a centipede, was unusually shocking.
Fang Chaoyang was also stunned, and hurriedly knocked on the gavel, "He Maoxian, get dressed immediately, otherwise, you will be expelled from the court immediately." ”
He Maoxian hurriedly put his clothes together and said something ridiculous, "Although I haven't given birth, I'm not afraid of being seen, aren't all women the same!"
These words made Tian Yunsu and Yuan Dan blush a little, and the clerk Xiao Zhao hurriedly went over and helped He Maoxian fasten the buttons.
"The defence may ask questions of witnesses. Fang Chaoyang said.
"Witness He Maoxian, how long has the family conflict between you and Liu Zhu lasted?" asked Tian Yunsu.
"When I first got married, I was fine, but then because I couldn't have children, I kept fighting and arguing, and I made a fuss for almost eight years. He Mao Xian said.
"Is not being able to have children because of you?"
"I don't know, I just didn't get pregnant anyway, and I didn't go to check. I felt that there seemed to be something wrong with him, don't look at his physique is very strong, but he often sweats at night, and his pillow is wet in the morning. He Mao Xian said.
"This time, are you planning to divorce really, or are you just talking?" Tian Yunsu continued to ask.
"I really plan to leave, I really can't get by, he is infected with gambling money, it's okay to win, and I'm angry if I lose. Gambling on this thing, how can I always win, or when I lose, I am often beaten, a few sticks are discounted, and my body is full of injuries. Speaking of this, He Maoxian couldn't help crying again, his cry was full of sadness.
After a long while, He Maoxian regained his composure a little, and in this process, everyone showed patience and waited quietly.
"Witness He Maoxian, you plan to divorce, why did you go to your brother to discuss?" Tian Yunsu asked.
"My father and mother are gone, I'm just such a brother, who else can I find if I don't look for him, he also loves me very much, he just keeps persuading me not to divorce......"
"Xian, brother is not right, if I knew that this would be the case, I should have divorced early. He Maolin, who was in the defendant's seat, said apologetically.
"Does the defender have any questions to ask?" Fang Chaoyang interrupted the conversation between the brother and sister.
"Yes!"
"Please go ahead and keep it as brief as possible. Fang Chaoyang said.
"He Maoxian, where did Liu Zhu take out the murder weapon before he committed the murder?" Tian Yunsu asked.
