Cheng Ling snorted heavily, and said angrily: "This case, Dali Temple has already tried, and the Criminal Department has also tried it, so there is no need to interrogate it from beginning to end. ”

Yang Fan spread his hands and said: "According to Cheng Temple, then we don't need to mention the prisoner to the court, just you and I each take out the interrogation records of this yamen, and everyone can take a look?" ”

Cheng Ling said angrily: "This official is saying that it is important to choose it!" ”

Yang Fan said in a loud voice: "This official thinks that this is very important!" ”

Imperial Envoy Zhao of the Imperial Envoy Terrace hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, since Yang Langzhong thinks it is necessary to ask again, then it will be interrogated again." ,!”

Cheng Ling said with disgust: "So, is your imperial envoy going to stand on the side of the Criminal Department?" ”

Zhao Jiulong was furious and said: "How can this be reasonable! The official is saying that since one of the two of you thinks it is necessary and the other thinks it is unnecessary, then it will take some effort to try it again, but according to your Cheng Si Zhizhi's opinion, if the prisoner is not allowed to make a statement, Yang Langzhong has to say that you are sloppy in handling the case, and the two sides are weighed, of course, it is appropriate to try again, how can it be called that my imperial envoy and the criminal department stand together? ”

Yang Fan hurriedly explained: "Don't get angry, both of you." Why did the three divisions of the trial institute come? It's just that we have three divisions to review together, and zuihou has a unified opinion, so when it comes to zuihou, our three legal divisions must all stand on one side, so why argue about it? ”

Cheng Ling and Zhao Jiulong snorted coldly, and with a flick of their sleeves, their heads twisted to the side.

Yang Fan coughed and said to Chang Zhiyuan: "Chang Zhiyuan, you say slowly, don't worry, don't miss a place." ”

Chang Zhiyuan saw that his face was kind, and he became a little more courageous, and agreed to explain in detail. Until this moment, Chang Zhiyuan didn't recognize this Yang Fan as the official of the Criminal Department who rescued his mother that night, so he just told him how he met Pan Junyi when he was shopping with his mother, and Pan Junyi teased his mother.

Halfway through hearing this, Zhao Jiulong suddenly said, "Wait!" You said that there was a criminal officer who broke the siege for your mother at that time, who is this person? ”

Cheng Ling also said: "Not bad! Yang Langzhong, is there such a person in your criminal department? The official suspected that nothing had happened on the night of Qixi Festival, and it was likely that the Chang family owed money and was unable to repay it, so he took a bite back. Hmph, you can't use any means to repay your debts! ”

Yang Fan said solemnly: "What Chang Zhiyuan said is indeed true, and he was the official that day...... The lady traveled to Dingding Changjie together and saved their mother and son. ”

Chang Zhiyuan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it, and after taking a closer look, he vaguely felt that this person was indeed somewhat similar to the person who helped him that night.

Yang Fan sighed: "The official saved their mother and son on the side of the Tianjin Bridge that night, although the sky was dark and the lights on the bridge were not bright enough, I can still remember the appearance of this child, this matter is what the official saw with his own eyes!" Alas, at that time, I thought that I would leave after beating away Naden's disciples, but who knew that so many things would be caused later. ”

Cheng Ling and Zhao Jiulong didn't expect that the witness was actually at the scene, and this question could no longer be raised. After asking for confirmation, I had to listen to Chang Zhiyuan and continue to speak.

Yang Fan insisted on starting from the night of Qixi Festival, of course, in order to confirm Pan Junyi's bad intentions, otherwise the cause of this case would have become a tragedy caused by simply asking for debts, and the moral basis for his judgments on the two related cases would be gone.

When Dali Temple first asked about the case, it was deliberately biased in favor of the Pan family, so they did not seriously verify the relevant criminal department officials, and they deliberately focused on "debt collection and killing" and did not want to involve too much. I never thought that the witness who came out that night was actually the presiding judge of this case, and he and the Chang family were neither related nor brought by this witness.

Cheng Ling had no choice but to cheer up and try to find something beneficial to him in the next case. But when he listened to Chang Zhiyuan's statement, the more he listened, the more his brows wrinkled.

Chang Zhiyuan talked very carefully, such as Pan Junyi forcing the Chang family to repay gambling debts, how his father was sad and angry, how to have a quarrel, how Pan Junyi choked his father's throat during the fight, his father's face was red and almost suffocated, when he stepped forward to save his father, he was thrown away by Pan Junyi and hit the coffin, how he grabbed the spiritual position and rushed forward to hit, if he found that Pan Junyi fell to the ground after a random beating, there was blood ...... in the back of his head.

The more Cheng Ling listened, the more wrong he became, this case was tried by him when he was in Dali Temple. At that time, the confessions of the father and son were not different from now, but they were very different.

To say that it is the same is because things have gone exactly the same, and to say that it is different because ......, he is saying it too carefully now!

When he was in Dali Temple, Chang Zhiyuan's confession was very simple, that is, Pan Junyi came to collect debts, he and his father were burning paper for his deceased mother, and his father had a quarrel with Pan Junyi in anger......

Now the process is the same, except for the addition of descriptive words, such as the father being "choked by the throat" and "his face is flushed and almost suffocated." He was thrown on the coffin, grabbed the spirit card "easily", and hit it a few times "indiscriminately", and after Pan Junyi fell to the ground, he "suddenly discovered" that there was blood ...... in the back of his head. just added a few adjectives, giving people the feeling that his father was going to be strangled to death by Pan Junyi in the fight, and he stepped forward to persuade but was powerless to stop it, and in a panic, he picked up the spirit card, just to stop Pan Junyi from committing murder......

Of course, Cheng Ling knew what these key words meant at the time of the verdict, and he immediately questioned these details very sensitively, although his appearance was solemn, and his face was even more terrifying when he raised his face, and Chang Zhiyuan was so shocked that his face turned pale and trembled, but he never changed his words about these statements.

Cheng Ling's repeated confirmation made these small details more obvious in the confession transcript.

Yang Fan didn't teach this Chang family kid to make a false confession, this kind of honest and young child with little knowledge, if you teach him some false confessions, there is no need to use punishment at all, those experienced judicial officials only need to use a little interrogation skills, and they can find out the truth and truth.

Yang Fan...... It was just a little inspiration for him.

The father and son of the Chang family are clumsy people, or, with their quality, they don't know what to say and what to say when they confess. In addition, the scene at that time was too intense, and as insiders, they would definitely ignore some things, so when they confessed, they could only talk about a rough process dryly, and this time, others could make a big fuss about the details.

Yang Fan interrogated the father and son in the second hall a few days ago, back and forth, upside down, in fact, he only did one thing: induce excavation!

Yang Fan excavated all the details that his father and son had overlooked, and helped them perfect the blank parts that his father and son could no longer remember in their inquiries, prompts, hypotheses, and speculations.

The details that were excavated by Yang Fan were originally their experience, but they were negligent, or they didn't feel the need to confess, but now that they think about it and say it, of course they won't change their words.

According to the process of their confession, Yang Fan helped them add things to the blank area of their memory in the prompts, hypotheses, and speculations, and naturally became their memories, and they were convinced that it was undoubtedly what they saw and heard with their own eyes, and even if you held a lie detector, you would never want to prove that they were lying.

Cheng Ling was a little unstable, but Chang Zhiyuan's confession did not conflict with his confession in Dali Temple, it was just more detailed, what doubts could he raise? Questioning Chang Zhiyuan's confession in the Criminal Department is more detailed than in Dali Temple? Then we can only come to the conclusion that the criminal department is cautious in handling the case and the Dali Temple is sloppy!

What's more, it is impossible for the imperial embassy to help him stand on his feet, and the imperial embassy advocates being light. Therefore, Zhao Jiulong's action must have been at the time of sentencing, and at that time, he and the Criminal Department would give a light sentence and be exempted from the sentence, and he would never pull Yang Fan's hind legs at present.

Thinking of this, Cheng Ling had to hold back, and when Chang Zhiyuan retreated and took Chang Lin to the court, the same problem as Chang Zhiyuan appeared, and his testimony became more delicate and perfect.

When he confessed in Dali Temple, he only said that he was addicted to gambling, but when he gambled with Pan Junyi, he owed a huge debt and could not repay it, so Pan Junyi proposed to ask his wife to stay with him to pay off the debt. Under Yang Fan's repeated inquiries and prompts, some of the points that Chang Lin ignored that would help him reduce his son's sentence were excavated one by one.

For example, Chang Lin specifically mentioned that he had never met Pan Junyi when he was gambling before; He also mentioned that because of his poverty, the amount of gambling was not large, but this generous Kuo Langjun was willing to gamble with him, and repeatedly lent him money to bet; For another example, when Pan Junyi failed to ask him to repay the debt, he asked the other party how he knew the beauty of his wife, and the other party once replied that he had seen it on the streets of Dingding and the bridge in Tianjin......

In this way, Chang Lin's answer confirmed Pan Junyi's previous charges of molesting Cheng's wife on the street and setting up a game to cheat and gamble.

Cheng Ling's heart became anxious, but at this moment, it was the trial of the three divisions, and it was impossible for him to torture Chang Lin.

Cheng Ling's eyes rolled, and he thought in his heart: "Yang Fan is scheming, naturally in order to exonerate Chang Zhiyuan. However, even if Pan Junyi flirted with the lady of the Cheng clan and set up a game to lure Chang Lin to gamble for money, he was just obsessed with lust and misbehaved. Chang Zhiyuan's murder is always a fact, and now it seems that he can only fight according to the law when sentencing! ”

Thinking of this, Cheng Ling simply gave up the idea of entanglement in confession, he listened to Chang Lin's testimony with his eyes half-closed and half-closed, and the relevant laws slowly passed through his sea of knowledge, and his mind settled down again.

Zhao Jiulong on the other side has long been recuperating, so far, all the evidence is favorable to the commutation, of course he will not raise any questions, because the imperial envoy he represents is the one who proposed the commutation, and what he is waiting for now is the moment when the sentencing is discussed.

"Take Chang Lin down!"

Yang Fan finished commanding, and arched his hand to the left and right: "Two brothers." ””

"Huh?"

Zhao Jiulong perked up and said, "Do you want to start discussing sentencing now?" ”

Yang Fan said with a smile: "It's already half over, let's have lunch first!" ”
