Chapter 250: Witnesses are also defendants
Li Chunlei presented another piece of evidence, it was Miao Yi's autopsy report, more than a dozen ribs were broken, the cervical vertebrae were dislocated, and the cause of death was a rupture of the major cervical artery, resulting in excessive blood loss.
When Miao Le was in the audience, he blocked his ears with both hands, he didn't want to listen, it was like a sharp knife, piercing his heart fiercely, and the pain was indescribable.
For this evidence, Qiu Dali and Tian Yunsu both expressed no objection, assuming that Miao Yi had a previous disease, but the rupture of the aortic artery caused by crushing was the direct cause of death and could not be refuted.
After presenting these evidences, Li Chunlei sat down, Yuan Dan got up and said: "Presiding judge, the prosecution has asked a witness to appear in court, and at the same time, he is also one of the people involved in this case, and he will be prosecuted later." ”
"What's your name?" Fang Chaoyang asked, of course he knew that it was Lin Zhigang, and the inquiry was also a routine procedure.
"Lin Zhigang. ”
"The witness Lin Zhigang arrived in court. ”
The bailiff went out and brought Lin Zhigang, and in view of the minor circumstances of the crime, he was not handcuffed or wearing a prison uniform.
Lin Zhigang looked very tired and may not have slept well, he thought he didn't need to go to court, but he was still prosecuted by the procuratorate and characterized as guilty of coercion.
He instinctively walked to the defendant's bench where Qiu Dali was and stood still, Fang Chaoyang stretched out his hand to signal him not to stand there first, but to the witness stand.
"Sit down, tell me your name, your age, and your occupation. Fang Chaoyang said.
"Lin Zhigang, 39 years old, is a doctor by profession. ”
"Lin Zhigang, because you are related to this case, you have been prosecuted by the prosecution. However, now that you are appearing in court as a witness, according to the laws of our country, witnesses have the obligation to testify truthfully to the court, and if they intentionally commit perjury or conceal criminal evidence, they will bear legal responsibility. Did you hear me clearly?"
"If you hear it clearly, you must not hide it. Lin Zhigang nodded.
The bailiff took the guarantee, Lin Zhigang signed his name on it, and was handed over to the clerk Xiao Zhao.
"Next, the prosecution will first question the witnesses. Fang Chaoyang said.
Yuan Dan looked at Lin Zhigang's eyes, full of disdain, the reason why Miao Yi was killed, this person played a very key role, otherwise, Qiu Dali would not be able to grasp the opportunity.
"Lin Zhigang, what was the relationship between you and Zhu Hongli?" asked Yuan Dan.
"I didn't know her before, maybe she came to see her, but there were a lot of patients, and I can't remember it. I had a very stressful job, and occasionally I would go to the bar to drink to relieve my fatigue, and that night, it was she who sold me the wine, so I chatted a few words and learned her name. Lin Zhigang said.
"What happened between you later?" asked Yuan Dan continued.
"I was drunk that night, I don't know how, and when I woke up, I lay down with Zhu Hongli, to be honest, I don't remember if I had a relationship, and she didn't ask for my money. Lin Zhigang said.
"It doesn't end there, does it?"
"No, just two days later, she sent me a picture of me lying with her undressed. Then, she said that her mother was sick and needed 30,000 yuan. This is blackmail, I know very well, of course I don't agree, she threatens me that she will publish the photo and send it to my wife, she doesn't care anyway. When Lin Zhigang said this, his expression showed helplessness and regret.
"You gave her money?"
"I didn't want to divorce my wife, so I transferred 30,000 yuan to her. Later, she continued to threaten me in this way, four times before and after, totaling 100,000. Lin Zhigang said.
"During this period, have you been to open a room again?" asked Yuan Dan.
"No, I'm really afraid of her, to put it mildly, she's so bad, super thick-skinned, and innocent. Lin Zhigang gritted his teeth and said.
"In addition to threatening you for money, what else does Zhu Hongli do?"
"Alas, what a regret!" Lin Zhigang let out a heavy sigh, and then said: "There is a patient in the hospital, named Miao Zelin, who has a heart attack and is about to have bypass surgery. He is Miao Yi's grandfather, Zhu Hongli told me that she had worked in Fengwu for nine days, Miao Yi owed her money, but she couldn't get close to asking for it, so I paid attention to Miao Zelin, once I heard that Miao Yi was coming, I called her, and she came immediately, and she must ask for the money. ”
"Did Zhu Hongli say how much Miao Yi owes her?" asked Yuan Dan.
"No, she told me that as long as I help her do this well, she will never pester me and write it off. I was going crazy with her, so I agreed. ”
"Do you know that your actions are equivalent to indirectly killing Miao Yi?" Yuan Dan said angrily.
"I know, and I regret it. Lin Zhigang pounded his head vigorously, one after another, making a knocking sound.
The witness stopped. Fang Chaoyang said coldly.
"Alas, I really didn't expect that Zhu Hongli paid attention to Miao Yi's whereabouts because she wanted to kill her, and at first she really thought she was just asking for money. Lin Zhigang stopped beating his head, but tears flowed down.
"You go on, how do you cooperate with Zhu Hongli?" Yuan Dan asked.
"I went to check the ward that day, just in time for Miao Yi to talk to my grandfather on the phone, saying that I would come over in two hours, I wrote it down, and secretly called Zhu Hongli to tell her, she was very happy, and said that she would come over and see me again by the way. I said that I would leave work soon, so I didn't want to see her. Lin Zhigang said.
Lin Zhigang's phone call played a crucial role, although he did not expect that Miao Yi would be killed because of it.
The prosecution applied for Lin Zhigang to appear in court to testify, it is very necessary, Zhu Hongli is dead, and the dead person can't speak, just Qiu Dali's narration, it is said that Zhu Hongli participated in the case, there is a lack of evidence, and it is also unfair.
Through Lin Zhigang's testimony, it was once again confirmed that Zhu Hongli was the mastermind of the murder.
"Witness Lin Zhigang, after Miao Yi was killed, why didn't you turn yourself in to the police as soon as possible?" asked Yuan Dan.
"I had this thought, but I was afraid of being implicated in prison, losing my family, and losing my job, so I chose to hide it, and I also comforted myself that Qiu Dali killed someone in front of the hospital, and it had nothing to do with my phone call. Lin Zhigang said.
"What have you done during this time?" asked Yuan Dan.
"I did something I shouldn't have done. ”
"Detailed explanation. ”
"I and two other doctors got a million signatures on the Internet, strongly demanding that Qiu Dali be sentenced to death. Because I've always been very uneasy, I always feel that the two are involved, and I hope that Qiu Dali will die, and it will be over. Lin Zhigang said.
There was an uproar, this is not the content of the indictment, under the banner of so-called justice, gathering public opinion, denouncing the murderer, in fact, trying to conceal the crime he committed.
On the Internet, the cursing of Lin Zhigang has converged into the sea.
Netizens felt that they were completely deceived and used, but fortunately, the prosecution withdrew the case at that time, and if Qiu Dali had been sentenced at that time, Lin Zhigang's goal would have been achieved.
