-----------------------------------------
According to defendant Zhang Zhihong's confession in law, the two were college classmates, Zhang Zhihong studied politics, and Liu Jiping studied chemistry. The two had been dating for a while, but unfortunately they didn't have contact because of the relationship between the two parties working in different places.
Ten years ago, Tan Yaozong was transferred from other places to Tiannan International University, and at a family reunion, Zhang Zhihong and Liu Jiping met together. Each other has their own families, their children are very big, there are no waves when they meet, just as ordinary friends, they have established some contacts.
The real substantial development of the two was two years ago. Zhang Zhihong clearly remembers that he received a letter from Liu Jiping that day.
In the letter, Liu Jiping complained about the hardships of life, especially when she discovered that her husband, the deceased Tan Yaozong, had become addicted to gambling. In the first two years, I went to Macau to gamble and lost more than 1 million yuan to my family. I persuaded him to stop, but every time he swore that within a few days, he would gamble again.
Gambling not only lost all the family's money, but Tan Yaozong's temper became more and more irritable, and he also beat people from time to time and commit domestic violence. Liu Jiping felt that he was living in dire straits, and he was embarrassed to speak out about the ugly things in his family. She was alone and helpless, so she thought of confiding in Zhang Zhihong.
Zhang Zhihong saw that Liu Jiping was pitiful, and made an appointment with her a few times, had a meal, and went to the park to enlighten her. Every time Liu Jiping wrote to himself, he returned the letter to Liu Jiping and told her not to write to him again. "Jiping, I really sympathize with you. I also want to help you share some of the burden, and I hope you gradually get better. Don't write to me in the future, or I'll be really embarrassed. ”
"Lao Zhang, you are a good person, but unfortunately we have no fate. I'm really depressed now, and I don't want to go home every day and see Tan Yaozong's face. I really don't know how a good person can become so insensitive. Liu Jiping complained.
If this relationship between the two develops further, it will be very dangerous, so every time they meet, Zhang Zhihong will take the opportunity to remind Liu Jiping. "We're both old, and our children are so old, we can see as much as we can. I hope you still persuade Tan Yaozong to change his ways, after all, he has been in a relationship for so many years. ”
Who knew that Liu Jiping lifted his sleeve and showed Zhang Zhihong the scars on her body. "No one in this world can understand me, have you ever experienced what life is better than death? Every minute with him is torment. Rather than this, let me die! ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, you can't die! Don't really write to me anymore, I understand what you mean. I'll help you if you can, but it's mostly up to you, and you have to learn to be strong......"
As soon as Zhang Zhihong said this, he couldn't help but sob.
The wife Tang Hongyu and daughter Zhang Yulin in the court were also in tears at this time.
Unexpectedly, Liu Jiping died in a car accident half a year ago. I don't know if it's a relief for her, or if it......'s intentional," Zhang Zhihong couldn't speak.
The presiding judge asked: "You mean that you have no personal relationship with the deceased's wife, Liu Jiping, and the deceased Tan Yaozong is wronging you?" ”
Defendant Zhang Zhihong responded: "Yes, I am a teacher, and I will never do anything to be sorry for my family." My care for Liu Jiping is limited to sympathy, limited to an ordinary friend. I returned all the letters written to me by Liu Jiping, so the police would search the deceased's home. This also confirms that I have a clear conscience. ”
"Well, what else is there for the defense lawyer to ask?" The presiding judge asked.
A lawyer about forty years old with bright hair stood up and asked the witness Song Chi, "I want to ask the witness, are you dating the defendant's daughter?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience in the court was in an uproar.
Song Chi responded: "I met through a friend's introduction, met a few times, and had a few meals, so it can be regarded as dating." ”
"Then may I ask, did the defendant Zhang Zhihong, who is your girlfriend's father, object to your relationship?"
Oppose? Song Chi thought about it for a while, he didn't seem to have heard him say it before, but after he asked Zhang Zhihong to talk about it once, Zhang Yulin called him and said that her father was against their relationship. "There was opposition later, but ......"
"Enough!" The defense lawyer rudely interrupted Song Chi's words. "The defendant objected to your association with his daughter, so you hold a grudge. This time the information was provided to the prosecution for the purpose of communiquating personal vendettas......"
Song Chi hurriedly shouted: "No, this is not revenge at all, it has nothing to do with whether I have a relationship with her daughter......"
"Witnesses don't have to be excited, it's just one of the assumptions," the defense lawyer said. It is also human nature to have a personal vendetta, after all, the deceased Tan Yaozong and you are not related; You're not a newspaper reporter, you're just a little proofreader in the newspaper, so you can't talk about any professional ethics, and you say that you are so honest and great! ”
"The defendant has already said in detail just now, given that he is a high-level intellectual, and in view of his status as a university professor, I have reason to believe that what the defendant Zhang Zhihong said just now in ** is true and heartfelt." The defense lawyer changed his words and began to talk endlessly.
"In this case, my client is also a victim. He was benevolent, but he did not get the reward he deserved, but was misunderstood, blackmailed, and blackmailed. The prosecution's point of view does not prove that it was the defendant who pushed the deceased downstairs that day, and there is no direct witness, it is all some subjective speculation......"
The defense lawyer's words shook the audience in court. After all, the defendant Zhang Zhihong is not a heinous criminal, he has an identity and status, and he cannot be directly convicted without conclusive evidence.
After the defense lawyer left the court, the prosecutor pleaded: "Now I would like to invite a second witness to attend." ”
The second witness was none other than Song Chi's sister Song Ruotong.
The prosecutor asked: "On the day of the incident, that is, the third and fourth classes on the morning of the 26th of last month, was the defendant Zhang Zhihong lecturing?" ”
Song Ruotong had never seen such a solemn occasion, and replied in a low voice: "Yes, Professor Zhang gave us a lesson on "Western Classics". ”
"What unusual happened on the eve of the fourth period?" The prosecutor continued to ask.
Song Ruotong responded: "I remember that the bell rang for the fourth class that day, and Professor Zhang did not appear in the lecture hall on time. After about three minutes, Professor Zhang did not appear. At this time, the class was very noisy, everyone was doing their own things, and only a few class cadres were discussing, planning to go to Professor Zhang. But then two or three minutes later, Professor Zhang appeared out of breath. ”
"Out of breath? When he showed up that day, was there anything unusual? The prosecutor asked.
Song Ruotong continued to reply: "Professor Zhang's face is very red and his expression is very flustered...... By the way, I remember, he also took out a napkin and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Later, not long after the class, the whole school building was boiling, and everyone said that someone had fallen from the building just now......"
The prosecutor asked: "If the deceased Tan Yaozong fell from the building, he should have heard some sounds in class, have you heard it?" ”
"It was very noisy in class, and I faintly heard a noise, like something falling to the ground. Later, I asked the students in the classroom on the first floor, and they could hear it more clearly, it was the sound of a person falling from a building. Song Ruotong replied.
The prosecutor asked again: "Can you confirm the sound of falling from the building, before or after the defendant Zhang Zhihong returned to class?" ”
"It was supposed to be the fourth class bell, and it rang for about four or five minutes, and I heard the sound of falling from the building. I heard the sound of falling first, and then two or three minutes later, Professor Fang appeared in the classroom. Song Ruotong replied 1510.
The prosecutor turned to the presiding judge and concluded: "The witness Song Ruotong was a student who was in class on the day of the incident. From her testimony, we can see that, firstly, when the defendant attended the fourth class, he was not only late but also looked panicked; The second is the sound of the deceased Tam Yiu-chung falling from the building, which precedes the time when the defendant arrived in class. There is an error of about three minutes in between. The prosecution had already sent someone to the school building to conduct an actual investigation, and the fastest speed from the rooftop on the fourth floor to the church where the defendant was attending classes was 45 seconds, and the normal speed was usually less than 2 minutes. So we prosecutors believe that the defendant has enough time to commit the crime. ”
The presiding judge asked Zhang Zhihong: "Does the defendant have anything to defend against the prosecutor's arguments?" ”
