Chapter 36: The Sophistry of the Wicked

The public trial meeting was held in the town government, which was also a key case at the grassroots level in the county court after the disaster, and received great attention from the town government and the people, and the case was particularly serious, and the public security cracked the case in a timely manner, fully demonstrating the government's strong determination to fight the earthquake and provide disaster relief, and resolutely cracked down on the criminal acts of abducting and trafficking women and children by lawbreakers who dared to defy the condemnation of the whole world, and will not tolerate it.

The court was set up on the front lawn of the town government, Du Jiandong and his group of five people were roasted and handcuffed and stood under the hall, the prosecutor prosecuted the defendants for more serious crimes, Du Jiandong and his wife were made the main culprits in the case, and the rest were accomplices, Du Jiandong's family was originally legally illiterate, and this time the stolen goods were obtained, and the facts of the crime were clear and could not be quibbled, so they had to confess honestly, but Zhou Zhenglong repeatedly quibbled that he was not an accomplice, but only their driver.

Xinlan didn't want to come to see the retribution of these wicked people, but the people in the town said that she had to testify in court, so he had to come to the court early in the company of the old grandmother and sit with the family of the abducted and trafficked children. Xinlan glanced at Zhou Zhenglong, who was full of lies, and wanted to throw in his face.

Zhou Zhenglong's quibbles in front of the witness evidence were useless, so he shouted for meritorious service and commutation of sentence, and he raised his hands and shouted loudly: "I want to report, I want to make meritorious service." The official replied: "Who are you going to report?" ”

"Is reporting considered meritorious service, and can the sentence be commuted? ”

The prisoner's defense lawyer replied: "It depends on the relationship between the person you provide and the case, and the sentence can be appropriately reduced according to the importance of the clues you provide." ”

The four people next to her were surprised, Zhou Yue'e gritted her teeth and looked at Zhou Zhenglong and scolded: "You, aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder? ”

"Cousin, when disaster comes, fly separately, wait until you have your life to come out alive!"

**The official struck the gavel and said, "The defendant is not allowed to talk and make noise." Du Jiandong looked up to the sky and sighed, the whole family was about to be wiped out, this was all retribution.

Zhou Yue'e finally saw the true face of this cousin full of family affection, benevolence and morality today, Zhou Zhenglong's accomplice Du Jiandong's family of course denied it, the six abducted children were still young, and could not prove Fuqi's crime, the judge repeatedly asked him if he had other evidence witnesses, he glanced back, saw Xinlan in the hall, and pointed at her in ecstasy: "She, she can prove that Du Fuqi is our accomplice." ”

Xinlan was invited to the witness stand, and the judge asked: "The defendant Du Jiandong said that there was another person present that night, that is, Du Fuqi, who is on the run, can you testify for him?"

"Xinlan, my heart. Zhou Yue'e roared in the hall, clasped her hands together and said: "Girl, my mother begs you, our family will be blessed, please leave a job!" Zhou Yue'e was already hysterical, ** the official was expelled from the court on the grounds that the defendant did not listen to the dissuasion and disturbed the order of the court, and Zhou Yue'e was escorted out of the crowd and still crying: "Xinlan, mother begs you, leave a job for our family!"

The onlookers and the judges and prosecutors were confused by Zhou Yue'e's words, and some people in the crowd asked puzzled, is this a parent abducting and selling their daughter, or a child suing his parents! It is really inexplicable, some people began to coax Xinlan to explain the relationship with the defendant, although it is easy to win the hearts of the people in the middle of the people, but it is also easy to be disturbed by public opinion, the ** official struck the gavel and said: "Silence!"

Then he asked: "Witness Deng Xinlan, please explain your relationship with the defendant Du Jiandong and his wife." ”

"I ......," Xinlan swallowed, not knowing how to reply.

The prisoner's defense lawyer asked: "Witness Deng Xinlan, please answer quickly, there must be no concealment!"

Xinlan shook her head and said, "I don't know, I don't know." ”

The prisoner's defense lawyer replied: "If there is a relationship, it is related, and if it is not related, it does not matter, how can you not know!

Xinlan said with tears in her eyes: "I really don't know. At this time, Zhou Zhenglong raised his handcuffed hands and said: "I know, I know everything, I report, I make meritorious contributions." ”
