Of course, Yan Ze knows that the defendant Zhou Fu has committed a serious crime, but he also has the right to be defended, and as a defense lawyer, he must also go all out.

"Defendant, how high is the courtyard wall of Shi Yongguang's house?" Yan Ze asked.

"About two meters three. ”

"Do you have a leg problem?"

"When I was young, I also suffered hardships, sleeping in a shack, eating cold meals, and having arthritis, which the village doctor could prove. Zhou Fu hurriedly said.

"Outside the courtyard wall of Shi Yongguang's house, can there be items to support climbing?"

"I don't remember it. ”

Yan Ze asked this, wanting to explain that Zhou Fu, who suffers from arthritis, could not climb the two-meter-three courtyard wall, which can only prove one point, the victim Shi Meihua forgot to insert the door, and he swaggered in.

The nature of going directly to the door is different from breaking through the wall, the former is to go to someone to play mahjong and visit the neighbors, while the latter is to break into a private house with bad intentions, and the target is directly the victim.

However, even if Zhou Fu suffers from arthritis and his condition is severe, it does not prove that he is completely incapable of climbing over the hospital wall.

"Defendant, have you ever funded Shi Yongguang's family, or have you directly funded the victim?" Yan Ze asked.

"Yes, considering his family difficulties, in the factory, Shi Yongguang's salary is more than 100 higher than others, I remember once, I also stuffed Shi Meihua with money, and I didn't count it when I took it out of my pocket, there are more than 200!" Zhou Fudao.

"What did the victim Shi Meihua do at that time?"

"Of course, I thanked him again and again, and the kid had a sweet mouth, and he called uncle when he met from afar. ”

"Does her family know about this money?"

"I know, when Shi Yongguang met, he also expressed his gratitude. Zhou Fu said, glanced at Shi Yongguang again, and nodded slightly, as if hinting that he must admit it.

"So, the relationship between you and Shi Meihua is also very close?" Yan Ze asked.

"Objections, the defender's words are ambiguous, and intimate words should not be used. Yuan Dan raised his hand.

"Okay, let me put it another way, defendant, you are more familiar with the relationship between you and the victim, right?" Yan Ze took a deep breath and asked again.

"They're all neighbors, and they come and go a lot, not far away, of course. Zhou Fu nodded.

"After entering Shi Yongguang's house, can you stop at the door and listen to the movement of the East House?"

"Objections, the defense is inducing the defendant to answer questions. Yuan Dan raised his hand again.

"The objection is valid, and the defense pays attention to the way the question is asked. Fang Chaoyang said.

As expected, Zhou Fu understood what Yan Ze meant, and immediately replied: "I heard that there was no movement in the East House, so I thought that Shi Yongguang was in the West House, so I went to look for him." ”

"What kind of expression did the victim look like when he saw you?

She smiled at me and sat up, not showing fear. ”

"Did the victim have the gestures or words to drive you away?"

"No, she told me to rub her arm. ”

"Defendant, in your memory, is the victim wearing pants?" Yan Ze asked again.

"Wearing boxers, they were baggy and like they were going to fall off. Zhou Fu said busily.

Yan Ze is a very experienced lawyer, he knows from which angle the defendant can reduce his culpability, and through the question just now, he wants to prove two points, first, Shi Yongguang's family did not intervene in the door, and Shi Meihua was not surprised to see Zhou Fu come in; second, Shi Meihua dressed casually, which also means that she is usually very casual.

In short, if it can be proved that the relationship between Shi Meihua and Zhou Fu is close, then it is logical that Shi Meihua has seduced Zhou Fu, and then threatens him to take money to eliminate the disaster.

However, the questioning at the court investigation stage is only for the reference of the collegial panel, and the judges are experts in analyzing the facts of the case and will make judgments that are prepared.

"Defendant, as you mentioned, the victim asked you to take 50,000 yuan, have you ever thought that breaking your wealth can avoid a disaster?" Yan Ze asked.

"Of course I thought about it, but 50,000 is not a lot, and my daughter-in-law is in charge of money, so of course she won't agree. If it spreads, my reputation in the village will be completely ruined, I can't hold my head up when I walk on the road, and the factory will not be able to continue. Zhou Fudao.

"Do you really want to strangle the victim Shi Meihua?"

"I started to have an impulsive mind, and then I regretted it, but she didn't move, and I was very scared, and I thought that she had my fingerprints on her, so I thought of lighting the quilt. Zhou Fu replied.

"Your wife said you haven't touched her for three months, what's the reason?" Yan Ze asked.

Zhou Fu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and hurriedly sighed: "Alas, when people are middle-aged, their physique is very poor, they have fewer ideas, and there are no solutions, so my daughter-in-law is very angry with me, and she is about to divorce." ”

Yan Ze wanted to prove that Zhou Fu had no idea about this at all because of his health, so naturally he couldn't talk about having long-term intentions for Shi Meihua, everything just happened by chance. Impulsively choked Shi Meihua's neck, showing regret, and the desire to kill was not strong.

"Presiding Judge, the defense has finished asking questions. Yan Ze said.

"The court is now adjourned, and the trial resumes at 1:30 p.m. to bring the accused down. Fang Chaoyang knocked down the gavel.

Maybe he was standing for too long, or he wanted to prove that he had arthritis, Zhou Fu's walking posture was a little staggering, but he still didn't forget, nodding and smiling at Shi Yongguang and his wife in the defendant's seat.

Molestation, arson, and murder are all indisputable facts, and Zhou Fu's hope for commuting the punishment is pinned on Shi Yongguang and his wife.

At noon, the members of the collegial panel dined together in the court cafeteria, and naturally talked about the morning trial.

"Zhou Fu has been making up stories, and he doesn't see much remorse. Xu Wei said.

"Shi Meihua is dead, what happened in the house, it's hard to prove. Gao Yiwei said.

"But the story is too absurd, a disabled girl, seducing a middle-aged bald man, causing murder, I'm afraid the novel will not be written like this. From a woman's point of view, Xu Wei showed a very disgust for Zhou Fu.

No matter what Zhou Fu says, he can't change his heinous crime of arson and murder, everyone should have seen it, he always looked at Shi Meihua's parents and regarded them as the last straw. Fang Chaoyang said.

At present, Shi Yongguang and his wife no longer plan to seek justice for their daughter, and are likely to stand on Zhou Fu's side. Xu Wei gritted her teeth with hatred, and she didn't know how to evaluate such parents.

Therefore, the prosecution of the procuratorate is very important, and the deceased cannot be allowed to be wronged and turned into a commodity used by the living for profit. Fang Chaoyang said.

"But we are also very difficult, and the outcome of the trial should take into account the attitudes of the families of the deceased and mitigate the extent of the damage caused to them by the loss of their loved ones. Gao Yiwei said.
