Chapter 431: A Vicious Circle
"Goshidai, do you have any questions for the prisoners?"
Seeing that Liang Fei was biting and refusing to admit it, Zou Yu did not ask any more, but asked Yu Shitai lightly.
The court trial is different from the debate in the college, and as long as the two sides continue to argue, one side will always lose. But the trial of a case does not need to be like this, it does not need to keep holding on to the problem, sometimes it is enough, and combined with other evidence, it will often get better results than asking questions and arguing all the time. Therefore, under the condition that Liang Fei has always admitted, Zou Yu no longer asks questions, but throws the question to Yushitai, he needs to ease the atmosphere in the court, and wait for the evidence to be combined before asking questions.
"My lord, I don't have any questions to ask the prisoner. I hope that you will allow me to present the evidence directly and then ask questions based on the evidence. ”
Guo Ming said lightly.
Before this, Liang Fei had been in contact with him many times in order to make a record, and he couldn't ask anything at all when he asked a dry question like this.
"Grant the request."
Zou Yu nodded.
"Since the most direct witness and victim in this case has just recounted what happened that day, I will not repeat it. I would now like to present the testimony of two witnesses. ”
After looking around, Guo Ming said solemnly.
"The testimony of these two witnesses is directly related to this case, and I hope that the Lord will allow these two witnesses to go directly to the court to make statements."
Since Liang Fei bit that he had never done such a thing, Guo Ming simply didn't say it. Directly let the two officials come up and explain.
"Grant the request."
Zou Yu still didn't have any expression.
Liang Fei kept his head down the whole time, and the scattered strands of hair in front of his forehead blocked his face, which made the expression on his face blurry.
"Witnesses Ye Gu and Wang Dagui—"
After getting Zou Yu's permission, the duty officer began to shout at the top of his voice.
Then, two people dressed in the uniforms of the officials walked to the public hall one after the other.
"Meet your lordship."
The two knelt down in the public court and said in unison.
"Now the two witnesses will be questioned by the Goshidai."
According to the law of the Great Cause Kingdom, in order to reflect fairness, if the witness himself comes to the court, the party who presents the testimony of the witness will first ask questions, and the two witnesses are applied for by the Goshidai. Therefore, it is natural for Guo Ming to question the witnesses first.
"Witnesses Ye Gu and Wang Dagui. Where were you two on the third day of March? ”
Guo Ming looked at the two witnesses and asked.
"Back to my lord, on the third day of March, because there was a distribution of pastries, I was afraid that there would be too many people and chaos. Just let me, Wang Dagui, and six or seven other people stand at the place where the pastries are made on East Street. ”
"And then?"
Guo Ming then asked.
Then there was an accident. Wang Dagui and I caught someone. ”
Haya replied truthfully.
"When did you two start holding that guy? Did you leave in between? ”
Guo Ming repeated the question that Zou Yu asked Liang Fei just now.
"Back to my lord. We were in the shop with the guy in tow. Until he was sent to prison, he never left a single step. ”
Wang Dagui said.
Although the scene was a little chaotic at the time, he still saw Liang Fei stabbing Ye Xiaoyu. It's just that what surprised him was that Yu Shitai asked so many questions just now, and none of them involved the stabbing that day.
"Liang Fei, do you recognize these two people?"
Guo Ming looked at Liang Fei, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked.
“……”
Liang Fei hesitated for a moment and did not answer immediately.
He's in a bit of a dilemma. For this question, if he admits to remembering these two people, he does not know what traps will await him at that time; But if he doesn't remember, it is contrary to what he just said, and it will also make Zou Yu catch himself having time to hurt others.
When he was in prison, he asked a lot of prisoners who had been to court, and he also made a lot of preparations, thinking that he could be foolproof, but he didn't expect that when it was really his turn, he was still frightened step by step.
"My lord, I remember these two."
After hesitating, Liang Fei still chose the former as the answer.
"Are the two servants holding you in custody?"
Guo Ming asked.
"It's these two people."
Liang Fei looked up at the witnesses who were also kneeling in the court, nodded and said.
"Witness, what happened that day to Lord Zou?"
Guo Ming turned his head to the two officials.
"My lord, the two of us escorted this person to the door of the shop that day, because there were many people waiting in line to receive the pastries, we had to go around the crowd and go out, and suddenly I found that he was doing a hand, and then when I turned my head, I found that he was holding a dagger, and the other end of the dagger had been stabbed into the victim's back."
Hatagi said.
"At that time, the victim's hand kept holding the cloth bag in the prisoner's hand and stressed that we should not touch the bag. There were a lot of people around, and we were in a hurry to move forward, and we didn't pay attention so much. But suddenly there was a movement, and then I saw the prisoner stick the dagger into the victim's back, and she fell to the ground. ”
Wang Dagui also added.
"Prisoner Liang Fei, what do you have to say?"
Guo Ming looked at Liang Fei who was kneeling on the ground again. Although the evidence is conclusive, he still does not think that this person will obediently admit his guilt.
"My lord, I was wronged, my lord, I was just going out for a casual stroll, and I didn't even have a fire fold with me, let alone a dagger hidden in my sleeve. My lord, I was really wronged. ”
Liang Feiqing was excited and began to shout hoarsely.
"Hiding a dagger in your sleeve?"
Zou Yu stopped his gaze on Liang Fei.
"Today in the court, no one mentioned that you hid the dagger in your sleeve, prisoner, what do you explain about this?"
"Uh...... This one...... I...... I mentioned this during the interrogation of the Goshidai, so that's why I said it. ”
Liang Fei was a little depressed. He had just answered too quickly. I accidentally told the truth.
"My lord, I never knew that the prisoner hid the dagger in his sleeve when he committed the crime. I was still amazed that the prisoner's hands were suppressed at that time, where he got the dagger, and now the prisoner's answer just explained my doubt. ”
Guo Ming added in due course.
Liang Fei was silent.
In this situation, he can only be silent. The so-called saying too much is more wrong, before going to court, he kept telling himself that he must talk less, but he didn't expect that there was still a leak.
"Goshidai. About the fact that the prisoner hid the dagger in his sleeve. Is there any evidence to corroborate this? ”
Zou Yu asked.
"My lord, before the prisoner answers, no. But since it was the prisoner himself who said it, we think that this can be more than just a heavy discovery. It also strengthens the evidence and facts of the case. It can prove what the prisoner said in court before. It's just a bunch of nonsense. ”
Because he knew that Liang Fei would not admit guilt, Guo Ming had already done a good job of starting with the evidence today, but he didn't expect it. Only two pieces of evidence were presented, and the man said that he had leaked his mouth.
"Liang Fei, what else do you have to say?"
Zou Yu asked again.
"My lord, I was wronged."
Liang Fei's momentum has disappeared a lot. But he is still resisting.
He couldn't admit his guilt, even if the current situation was very unfavorable to him, but he still couldn't admit his guilt, otherwise the higher authorities wouldn't have sent someone to save him.
"Do you have any proof of your own?"
Zou Yu asked again.
"Nope. I really just went out for a walk that day, where would there be any evidence? ”
Liang Fei thought for a moment and replied in a low voice.
"Why are you carrying a big bag of poisonous scorpions when you're out for a stroll?"
Zou Yu decided to ask the facts more clearly.
"Back to my lord, I was going to sell the poisonous scorpion to the pharmacy."
Seeing that Zou Yu was no longer entangled in the question just now, Liang Fei's eyes flashed. Maybe he still has a chance to come back to life.
"Where did you come from, the poisonous scorpion?"
Zou Yu then asked.
"I caught the scorpion from the mountains."
Liang Fei said.
"Which mountain?"
"Just that little hill on the outskirts of the North End."
Liang Fei casually talked nonsense.
"When did you catch it? How long has it been caught? ”
Zou Yu asked very carefully.
"I ...... It was probably the first two days of March 3rd, and I grabbed that bag all day. ”
"Did anyone see you during this time?"
Zou Yu flipped through the file casually.
"Nope. There was no one on the mountain. ”
Liang Fei replied in the affirmative.
"How did you get into the mountains?"
Zou Yu then asked.
"How do you get into the mountains? So I went up the mountain on the way into the mountain. ”
Liang Fei didn't understand why Zou Yu asked these small questions so carefully, in order not to fall into the trap again, he tried to answer briefly this time.
"Recently, the mountain is being closed for afforestation, and all the mountains around Rongzhou City are guarded by people, not to mention people, even poultry can't enter, how did you enter the mountain and stay on the mountain all day?"
Zou Yu asked rhetorically.
"I ...... I caught these poisonous scorpions at the foot of the mountain......"
didn't expect that there was such a stubble in this, Liang Fei was suddenly in a mess, and he had no clue.
"Bold Liang Fei! In the public court, how can you be allowed to flout the law and discipline so much, and the preface does not match the afterword?! ”
Seeing that Liang Fei was still quibbling, Zou Yu's tone became stern in an instant.
"Your Excellency...... I...... I ......"
Liang Fei raised his head and was about to explain, when he suddenly grabbed his throat with both hands, then rolled his eyes, and the whole person fell to the ground in an instant, and began to convulse.
Ye Xiaoyu was also taken aback by this scene.
Seeing that the facts of the case have been basically clear, how could such a thing come out again? This scene is exactly the same as Gu Xiaoshu's previous time. The same court trial, the same sudden convulsions, this, things in the world, are not so coincidental?
"Someone, hurry up and invite Langzhong-"
The sudden accident made the originally quiet public hall a mess. Zou Yu asked the officials on duty to maintain order, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to invite Langzhong.
"That's all for today's court trial, and the time for the next public trial will be announced separately."
Shocked by the wood, Zou Yu hastily ended today's originally successful court trial. (To be continued......)
