Zhang Xiuquan nodded and responded, "Yes, definitely." Several times, I saw people remove smashed televisions, furniture, and other things from their homes, and I thought to myself, even if the family had money, I couldn't do it. ”

"Have you ever heard that the defendant has threatened the deceased?" The prosecutor asked.

Zhang Xiuquan replied: "Generally, I am used to the quarrels of young couples, and I don't take them to heart. I have the impression that I have heard several times that the defendant said that he would fight with the deceased and die with him...... But I guess it's angry talk. ”

At this time, the prosecutor said to the presiding judge: "Through a large number of visits by the police, I learned that the defendant is indeed a person with a gentle personality. Her quarrels with the deceased are also mostly trivial matters within the family. However, we have seen from many previous cases that the murderer's motive for killing is often caused by some small entanglements and long-term grievances. The defendant showed many excesses in the face of her husband's gambling addiction, infidelity and domestic violence. And once these excesses erupt, they may form a motive for killing. ”

The presiding judge asked, "Does the defendant have anything to defend himself?" ”

Su Lan replied: "Although Cao Mingxuan has done a lot of things that are sorry for me, I have always been grateful to their family. If it weren't for their help, my dad would still be in jail. As a woman, in the face of her husband's various evil deeds, I think it is human nature to get angry. I just want to reiterate that I didn't kidnap and kill Cao Mingxuan! ”

The prosecutor sorted out another piece of information and continued to ask: "When the police were investigating, there was another thing in this case, which the prosecution always felt very suspicious. The kidnappers who called to extort money made a total of three phone calls, and all of them were to the defendant. If the kidnappers didn't know about the Zhenbang Group and it was Cao Bohua who held the real power, then the deceased Cao Mingxuan should be very aware of this matter. Will he not let the kidnappers call his dad? Instead of calling the defendant first, and then the defendant asking Cao Bohua for money? ”

Su Lan replied: "I also want to know this question, the specific truth, you should ask the kidnappers." ”

"The prosecution felt that the reason why the kidnappers only called the defendant was simply because they either knew the defendant or ...... This is simply a one-man show directed by the defendant! By making blackmail calls, the kidnappers are actually stalling for time. The real purpose of the kidnappers is not money, but revenge! The prosecutor said eloquently.

The defense lawyer stood up and said: "I object to the prosecutor saying this, the kidnapper may call the defendant, and he may think that the other party is a woman and is easier to talk." The prosecutor's speculation has no basis in facts, and it is easy to confuse the public! ”

The prosecutor's face was a little ugly, and the defense lawyer took the opportunity to ask the defense witnesses to testify in court.

The witness for the defense was none other than Song Chi.

In the past half a month, almost all the people around him have been persuading him not to stand on Su Lan's side. Such a woman who once abandoned you, this time she is in trouble, she needs you to help him, she is good to you.

Shijie has been struggling in her heart, and she has been entangled repeatedly for a long time, but Song Chi still can't believe that Su Lan is the murderer of her husband. There may be something else hidden in this case, but as a witness for the defense, he just wants to tell the facts he has seen and heard.

When Song Chi stood on the witness stand, Zhang Yulin was completely desperate for him!

I said so much to him, all in vain! For Su Lan's sake, he really went crazy! Tang Zhanpeng, who was sitting next to him, sighed and scolded Song Chi in his heart for being extremely stupid!

The defense lawyer asked, "Can you explain your relationship with the defendant first?" and what happened during this time when you were with the defendant. ”

"My name is Song Chi, and I was a college classmate of the defendant. Because of my work at the newspaper, I immediately knew that Cao Mingxuan had been kidnapped. So I went to the defendant and did my duty as a friend to help her. The defendant didn't have many friends, so she trusted me a lot and told me every time a kidnapper called. During the period when the deceased was kidnapped, I basically went to her home three or four times a week to enlighten her and comfort her......," Song Chi said.

The defense lawyer asked, "You just used the word comfort?" Was the defendant in a bad mood? ”

"Yes, I think anyone who encounters this kind of thing will always have a lot of ups and downs in their hearts. The defendant's personality was relatively simple, she became depressed, insomnia, irritable, and her mood was very low, and she had trouble sleeping and eating. I think these are the expressions of her true feelings, and she has been nagging about the safety of the deceased, immersed in grief. Song Chi added.

The defense lawyer added: "There are some real emotions that are indeed difficult to suppress. After learning that her husband had been kidnapped, the defendant was devastated. She doesn't think about tea, she doesn't want to eat, she has been depressed, how can a ruthless kidnapping murderer have such grief? ”

The presiding judge glanced at the lawyer and turned to the prosecutor and asked, "Is there anything else the prosecution has to ask?" ”

The prosecutor stood up and said: "I want to ask the witness, what you just said is that during the period between the kidnapping of the deceased and his death, you often went to the defendant's house to accompany her. What I want to know is, what exactly time you were at her house? ”

Song Chi thought for a while and responded: "I usually get off work, then eat a little casually, and then rush to her house, basically around 8 o'clock." Because the defendant was not in good spirits and needed to rest, I usually went home around 9:30 and no more than 10 o'clock. ”

"So, do you know what the defendant will do in the time after you are gone?" The prosecutor asked again.

Song Chi responded: "Every time I leave her house, she is groggy. Several times, she lay weak in bed. I think that after I left, the defendant must have slept at home. ”

"Is that really the case?" The prosecutor suddenly asked rhetorically. I saw him open a file and take out a stack of materials inside, as well as a USB flash drive. "This is a video of the police reviewing the surveillance of the entrance and exit of the defendant's community. We found that almost every night around 10 o'clock, the defendant drove her red Mercedes sports car out of the neighborhood. And when she returns to the community, it usually ...... around 7 a.m. the next day."

What the! Hearing the prosecutor's evidence, Song Chi was very surprised. Su Lan would go out in the middle of the night and come back early the next morning. "It's absolutely impossible! Her physique is so poor, and she often takes sleeping pills at night, how can she not return all night! Someone must have been driving her car and going out. ”

The presiding judge turned to the defendant and asked, "Do you have anything to say about the evidence presented by the prosecutor?" ”

Su Lan straightened the bangs in front of her forehead and replied expressionlessly: "Indeed, I often drive out at night. I can't sleep at home, I feel emotional, so I go to a five-star hotel to sleep, so I feel safe. ”

"We were at the hotel and did check your check-in records. But we checked the intersection surveillance and found that you will always pass by the intersection of Wuzhong Road, which is near the building where the deceased was kidnapped. How do you explain this? The prosecutor asked.

Su Lan replied: "Wuzhong Road is a traffic artery, and there are a lot of people coming and going every day. If you want to go southwest from my house, Wuzhong Road is the only way to go. I didn't know that Cao Mingxuan was kidnapped and tied there, I think it was a complete coincidence. ”

The prosecutor retorted: "Your behavior is very abnormal, and it is not done by a normal person at all!" I think the reason why you go out every night is not just because you can't sleep, but because you go to the scene of the crime, bring food to the deceased, or beat him and torture him. ”

Hearing the conversation between Su Lan and the prosecutor just now, Song Chi was also very inexplicable. Could it be that when she left Su Lan's house at 9 o'clock, she went out on her hind feet? Didn't she keep saying that she wanted to rest, how could she have the strength to go out again?
