Chapter 234: Prison Visits (3)
"Xiaoyu, do you know all this?"
"I know some, but some Su Xin didn't tell me, just said that Jiao Hong was the identity of the secret agent of the East Factory, and I just found out." Smell the light rain road.
Meng Yan nodded, with Wen Xiaoyu's cleverness, this woman has a special habit of probing other people's secrets, and she would never think of secretly investigating Jiao Hong.
It is estimated that she already knew Jiao Hong's identity, but she just didn't say it, and she didn't show a trace of her tone in front of Bai Suxin.
Until Bai Suxin told the secret herself!
"Wake up girl, are you saying that Jiao Hong killed Li Chengyan and then blamed you, and even that adulterer was fabricated by him out of thin air, and there is no such person at all?"
"Yes, Lord Meng!"
"Then why didn't you defend yourself during the interrogation?" Meng Yan felt very strange, how could anyone obviously suffer a grievance but not defend himself.
"I can't defend myself, I was knocked unconscious by Jiao Hong, and when I woke up, I saw Li Lang lying in a pool of blood, and I was holding the saber that killed Li Lang in my hand......" said, Bai Suxin couldn't help but sob.
"Even so, why didn't you tell Jiao Hong about your indecent?"
"They tortured me, Jiao Hong was next to me, I saw that the wicked man was talking and laughing with the person who interrogated me, and Jiao Hong was still the informant, under the preconceived idea, no matter what I said, they would not believe it, and maybe they would be even more humiliated!" Bai Suxin explained.
"So, you don't tell the truth in the East Factory. This is understandable, but why don't you say it when you go to the Criminal Department and when you retry it? ”
"Since ancient times, officials have protected each other, and the criminal department dare to overturn the case decided by Dongchang, not to mention that Jiao Hong also made money, and my grievances are destined to be injustice."
"But the Criminal Department still rejected Dongchang's verdict on the grounds of insufficient evidence, which is enough to show that the Criminal Department still has officials with a conscience."
"That's because of Sister Xiaoyu. If it weren't for Sister Xiaoyu. Maybe I was executed by Ling Chi a long time ago! Bai Suxin said.
"Xiaoyu, what did you do?"
"I can talk to Zhang Xuan of the Criminal Department, so I asked him to re-examine Su Xin's case and find all kinds of suspicious points. The verdict of Dongchang was rejected on the grounds of insufficient evidence and the adulterer's failure to appear in the case! Wen Xiaoyu explained.
"That plain girl. What's the deal with your adultery? Meng Yan continued to ask. He had to understand the whole case before he could decide what to do next.
"It was Jiao Hong who slandered me, he said. I committed adultery with someone, and was discovered by Li Lang, and I conspired with the adulterer to murder Li Lang, and when he found out, the adulterer fled in a hurry, and I held Li Lang's portable blade, so the evidence was conclusive. Bai Suxin said.
"Is there any other evidence other than the blade that killed Li Chengyan?"
"Nope."
"If according to what Miss Suxin said, this case is indeed full of suspicions, and it is difficult to convict with just one murder weapon!"
"My lord, when I woke up, I found Li Lang lying in a pool of blood, and my hand was holding the murder weapon, just when Jiao Hong came in with a group of fans from Dongchang, my hands were full of blood, and I was so scared that I didn't have the ability to think at all......"
"My lord, could it be that after Jiao Hong killed someone, he planted the blame, and then fabricated an adulterer?" Wen Xiaoyu speculated.
"It's entirely possible, Jiao Hong knows that a weak woman can't kill a young and strong man, there must be a second person to do it, and who is this person besides the adulterer?" Meng Yan nodded.
"Miss Suxin, you recall it carefully, what is missing, such as what clothes and shoes Jiao Hong wore when he was rude to you, and what clothes he rushed in later with Dongchang's fanzi, and also, did you hurt the other party in the process of resisting the scuffle?" Meng Yan asked.
"It doesn't seem to be the same, when Jiao Hong came in, he was wearing a green silk shirt, and he was wearing a cyan cloth shirt later, when Li Lang found out that Jiao Hong wanted to do something wrong to me, he punched him, and on his eyes, I saw that he had at least half a month of bruises before disappearing!" Bai Suxin recalled carefully.
"The bruises are long gone, even if you ask him, he can say that he was scared stupid, he fell when he went downstairs, if Jiao Hong came in and wore different clothes, then his previous clothes might be splashed with Li Chengyan's blood, otherwise he didn't need to change his clothes!" Meng Yan analyzed, "But now that a year has passed, I'm afraid this bloodstained dress has already been disposed of." ”
"My lord, is it tricky?"
"A case more than a year ago, if there is really a grievance, this evidence is also difficult to find, not to mention that as Miss Suxin said, that Jiao Hong is not an ordinary gangster, he is from Dongchang, he must know some ruining evidence, and he is familiar with the law, this kind of person is not so easy to deal with." Meng Yan explained.
"My lord, the little girl has no love, if the adult is embarrassed, forget it!" A hint of gloom flashed in Bai Suxin's eyes.
"I'm just saying it's difficult, but it doesn't mean that there must be no way, Miss Suxin, this case can't be rushed, so you have to be mentally prepared." Meng Yan Road.
"Your Excellency has a solution?" Wen Xiaoyu asked in surprise.
"I can only say that there is a little clue, I don't know what kind of procedure you need to go through if you want to retry a case like yours that has been sentenced and rejected by the Criminal Department?" Meng Yan asked.
"The prisoners themselves cry out for grievances, or their families complain for them, but this will not work, as long as the above does not accept it, there is no chance of a retrial!"
"Then how does the imperial court deal with such an unsolved case?"
"Then it can only depend on the will of heaven, if there is any great joy, the Holy God will amnesty the world, as long as it is not a heinous prisoner, there is a possibility of seeing the light of day, but most people can't get out of the cell!" Smell the light rain road.
"This method doesn't work, the matter of amnesty to the world is too slim!" Meng Yan shook his head.
"This case is handled by the East Factory, even if it is retried, it will be tried by the East Factory, and the result will be the same in the end."
"The right to retry cannot be handed over to Dongchang, which is a must."
"First of all, what we have to do is how to retry the case of the Suxin girl, this step is the most critical and the most difficult!" Meng Yan Road.
"Your Excellency has a way?"
"The first way is to let the criminal department write on its own, retry the case of the Suxin girl, lead the trial of the case, and re-investigate and collect evidence.
"My lord is right, Zhang Xuan once tried to give the saint a twist and wanted to retry Su Xin's case, but after the fold, it was over, and he was also squeezed out by his colleagues in the Criminal Department, and he was demoted from Langzhong to the principal!" Wen Xiaoyu shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Then we have to find another way!" Meng Yan also guessed that Wen Xiaoyu put a lot of thought into Bai Suxin's case, but it was unsuccessful.
"My lord, Sister Su Xin is so pitiful, you can help him?"
"I only thought of one way, but this method is also very difficult, but this is the fastest and easiest way to retry the case of the plain girl!" Meng Yan Road.
"What's the solution?"
"Let Master Li Xiong and Master Li go to the court to avenge the grievances of the plain girl!" Meng Yan Road.
"This ......" Wen Xiaoyu and Bai Suxin were stunned, as soon as Li Chengyan died, the Li family hated Bai Suxin to death, how could they still help her avenge her grievances, not to mention that the political risk in this is so great, Li Xiong is the commander of Yanshan's right guard, and he doesn't understand this truth.
If there was no such case, Bai Suxin would have been the daughter-in-law of the Li family at this moment, living an enviable life.
"After Li Lang died, the Li family hated Su Xin to the core, how could he write to Su Xin to avenge his grievances?" Bai Su said in his heart.
"Master Li's white-haired man sent the black-haired man, it is understandable that he was in a sad mood at that time, he may have misunderstood you, not to mention that he doesn't want the real murderer to go unpunished." Meng Yan Road.
"Su Xin, what the adults said makes sense, maybe this is a way." Smell the light rain road.
"Miss Suxin, I can help you find Master Li Xiong and persuade him for you, but yours will prove to me that I can go!" Meng Yan Road.
"What proof?"
"Blood Book!" Meng Yan said solemnly, "Write down the situation at that time, don't bring your personal inferences and guesses, what you see and what you hear, just tell the truth!" ”
"What my lord means is that you don't say anything about the speculation that Jiao Hong may be a murderer." Wen Xiaoyu added.
"Why?" Bai Suxin was very puzzled.
"If you don't write this, this will show that you didn't write this bloody letter of grievances in order to exonerate yourself, if you write the speculation of Jiao Hong's murder, then there is really no one who can save you, you yourself are still charged with disobedience and unfilial piety, and now you are falsely accusing Jiao Hong's uncle, do you think the court will accept the grievances?" Meng Yan explained.
"I didn't make false accusations!"
"I know, but people are always preconceived, your crime has been convicted, if you want to overthrow it, you have to pay a hundredfold, a thousand times the effort to prove yourself!" Meng Yan said, "If you tell the truth directly, and don't say anything else, others won't be able to understand it?" ”
"Understood, my lord, Su Xin has been taught!" Bai Suxin bowed.
"Time is running out, Bai Suxin, if you want this official to help you, start writing now." Meng Yan Road.
"Okay." Bai Suxin didn't hesitate at all, he was like this, what could be the worst result?
"Zhang Xiaohua, you are so bold, why do you dare to put anyone on death row in the women's prison?" At this moment, there was a sudden sound of scolding.
"I'll take a look!" Wen Xiaoyu got up and said.
"Be careful!" Meng Yan nodded, it was best if he came to visit the prison of the Criminal Department not to be known by outsiders, so that he could act in secret.
"Got it."
"Yo, isn't this the shopkeeper of Wenda, why do you have time to go to the prison of the Criminal Department to see the scenery?" A flirtatious voice followed. (To be continued......)
