Chapter 147: Questioning
Although people did not think very well of the police, the murder of the police officer still shocked many citizens who were hearing the trial, and even two members of the jury stood up. They looked at Du Lin sitting in the dock and the "backbone" beside him in disbelief, completely unable to believe their eyes and ears, these handsome little guys who can be regarded as young people actually dare to murder the police?
People were shocked that the police represented the deterrent and authority of the empire among the people, even if there were many scum among the police. This kind of behavior is simply a provocation to the authority of the empire, breaking people's fear and mystery of the empire and the ruling class.
The sleepy judge also straightened his seat, his eagle-sharp gaze constantly scanning back and forth over Durin's and Dover's faces.
At this time, Mr. Three Thousand Yuan suddenly stood up, and his reaction was very fast, although he was also shocked that this accusation was not in the file at all, but he quickly reacted from the shock, he raised his hand, and shouted loudly, "Mr. Judge, I object to the district attorney's accusation against Mr. Doolin, which is shameless slander and slander!
The judge shook his head, "I think that any new evidence and witnesses and accusations added to the prosecution process against Doolin for allegedly organizing a criminal group and committing crimes should be treated as a whole. Your objection is invalid, prosecutor you can continue. ”
The prosecutor smiled a little smugly, and quickly retracted it. He dragged his sword collar to the witness stand, and asked, "Do you know Mr. Doolin?" ”
The homeless man dressed up so hard for today's attendance that it would not take him more than six hours to wear his brand new suit from the shopping shelves of the store. The washed hair naturally swelled, obscuring most of his appearance. He pressed the hair covering his ears to his ears, looked at the dock a little crampedly, looked at it for a while, and then shook his head, "I don't know Mr. Durin, I don't know if he's here today." ”
The prosecutor nodded with satisfaction, and the testimony of witnesses who swore to God before the trial and read out that they were willing to bear all the consequences of perjury, was credible. He looked at the judge and stated: "The witness did not know Mr. Dooling, so there was no conflict of interest between the witness and Mr. Dooling." The judge nodded, and the prosecutor continued to ask, "Then can you tell me everything you saw that night?" ”
The homeless man's account is simple, and homeless people like him have almost the same daily itinerary as he wanders the streets. They scavenged for three meals a day from the garbage heap, and their main job was to earn their living expenses by begging - most of the time they spent their fortune on buying drunken and cheap skilled women. That night, Mr. Tramp had just woken up from a drunken dream of urine, and after he had finished excreting behind the garbage bin at the entrance of the alley, he was lying on the garbage bin with some discomfort.
The physical health problems of homeless people have always been serious, and irregular diet and contaminated food are the main reasons for their physical discomfort.
In the haze, he saw two trucks passing by outside the alley, and as a homeless man who had lived in the area for a long time, he knew very well that late-night deliveries were often related to smuggling. He was curious to see whose business was and what was being smuggled. He didn't dare to really go out, and even if a homeless man like him died in an alley, no one would seek justice for him, so he shrank in the shadows of the alley.
The smell of wine from the tip of his nose made him faintly excited, and what made him even more excited was the appearance of two patrol officers, who were hiding in the shadows at the entrance of the alley. Sometimes there will be some small conflicts between the patrolman and the smugglers, and these small conflicts come from the question of how much "comfort money", maybe when they are arguing, he can steal a case of wine. The craving for alcohol made him brave and overcome his inner timidity, and then he watched as one policeman got into the truck and never got out, while the other policeman was also put into the truck with the help of several people.
After the truck left, he walked out of the alley with bated breath, walked to the place where the policeman had been standing, and then crouched down and dipped his fingers in a little red liquid on the ground.
Viscous, delicate, with a slight feeling of adhesion, his pupils dilated instantly, he knew that it was blood, and he often made some wounds for various reasons, so he could be sure that it was blood.
Two policemen were killed by that gang!
The homeless man who figured this out ran frantically in the alley, wearing all his belongings worth about two dollars on his body, and ran wildly in the opposite direction of the truck. In the process of escaping, he also accidentally bumped into a person.
Dulfo.
The big man who got out of the truck he knew, Graff.
The simple narrative doesn't make the story too legendary, but precisely because of this straightforward narration without any embellishment, it only adds authenticity and is more shocking.
The prosecutor nodded in satisfaction, and then passed a document to the judge and Mr. Three Thousand Dollars, he raised the document in his hand and said, "There are three things recorded in this document, the first is the file record of the Tennell District Police Department, which records that two police officers who were on night patrol that night disappeared. The second thing is the police report from the police officer's family, the content is basically the same, the man in the family disappeared after a night shift, and there is a reply from the police station. Thirdly, we found two metal sirens in the 'Lost and Found Center' of the garbage disposal station, which proved to be the sirens of the two missing police officers. ”
"Based on the above evidence and the testimony of witnesses, I think that in the process of smuggling, the criminal group led by Doerin encountered the night patrol police, and after their evil deeds were discovered, they hurriedly killed people and destroyed them, and disposed of the corpse and the belongings on the corpse, and my speech is over, thank you!"
Mr. Three Thousand Pieces, though his face was ugly, did not show a look of despair, he turned back to Durin and Dufo in a low voice, wrote and drew on the paper, and then stood up. He walked to the witness stand and, with the judge's permission, began the hearing," he said...... Mr. Tramp, did you say that in the process of escaping the scene of the crime, you met one of my clients, Mr. Dover?"
The homeless man nodded yes, "I met him!"
"You have just sworn to God, and you are willing to bear all the consequences of perjury, and you are now sure that everything you have just said is true, and that your testimony has not been censored or altered under the guidance of others?"
When the prosecutor heard this, he already realized that there might be a problem with the homeless man's testimony, and he raised his hand and shouted against it, but the judge rejected his request, "The questions raised by the defendant's lawyer are fully in line with the rules of this trial, and the objection is invalid, and the defendant's lawyer can continue to ask questions." ”
The homeless man wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead and opened his mouth to confirm the reliability and authenticity of his testimony. After nodding to the judge, Mr. Three Thousand Yuan left the witness stand, pointed at the homeless man in front of the jury, and said loudly, "He lied!"
The twists and turns of the trial made the citizens who came to the trial feel unprecedented excitement, and everyone exclaimed again, and the members of the jury also showed a trace of doubt on their faces. Mr. Sanchizu was pleased with the atmosphere and the doubts of the jury, and if they were indifferent, indicating that they were convinced that the new charges were valid, then the next plan was to reduce Durin's connection with the matter as much as possible.
But their doubts and uncertainties can be carried out according to the original plan, which is to clear the name of Duhrin and his fellow villagers as much as possible.
The homeless man also panicked, he really didn't know where he was lying, he just told others after a drunken time that he saw two policemen killed, and then he was caught in a small room, and let him constantly narrate the process he saw at the time of the crime, and kept asking questions, constantly repeating memories and inducing questions, so that he didn't know if he had remembered something wrong, or forgot.
A homeless man is a homeless man after all, and his psychological qualities are far from being able to remain calm on such occasions, and his brief panic is seen by the citizens and the jury and the judge, and the witnesses and testimony and evidence, which were almost straightforward and simple, become blurred again.
"Yes, he lied!", the first sentence shakes people's nerves with shouting, and the second sentence reinforces the views he imposes on people in a deep tone of affirmation. Three thousand yuan pointed at the homeless man, strode to the witness stand, and asked, "You said that you left quickly after bumping into my client Du Buddha, so what else happened between you in the process?"
The homeless man's scalp was numb, and he recalled with some anxiety, and the whole courtroom was dead silent, waiting for the homeless man's answer.
The prosecutor clenched his fists tightly, his gaze constantly moving back and forth between the homeless man and Mr. Three Thousand Pieces, and the right corner of his eye jumped uncontrollably a few times. The air became more and more serious, and Mr. Tramp became more and more nervous, he tore the tie that others had tied for him, and tore the collar, and the beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and he was almost unable to breathe!
"You swear to God, you assure the Imperial Laws that everything you say is true, and now you tell the judge out loud, the jury and all the in-court officers, what else happened between you and Dulfo and when you left?!"
