The night before the trial, Xu Xinyue stayed up all night.

Sheng Yanwei's appearance was a little unexpected, and there was a faint pain in her heart.

Sheng Yanwei owes him a lot more than that slap.

Thinking that Sheng Yanwei was penniless after leaving the Sheng family, and was about to sleep on the streets and live like a beggar, she felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.

Tossing and turning until dawn, Xu Xinyue got up and freshened up, dressed up energetically with fat powder, and went to the court in the French Concession.

In this case, Xu Xinyue and the second old lady in the second room are the plaintiffs, and Shen Yu is the defendant.

Sheng Yanqing and the people of the clan also came, and they all sat on the hearing seat.

With the previous public opinion brewing, this case caused quite a stir in Tongcheng.

Shen Yu once shined in the tea making competition held by foreigners, and the Sheng family's unique black tea was in short supply. Many people with new ideas want to see what kind of strange woman this famous tea master is.

In the newspapers, Shen Yu was named with such words: Kefu, widow, hooking up with the younger brother-in-law, murdering her grandmother, and remarrying. There are also some old-fashioned people who are gossiping and want to see what is going on.

For a time, the hearing bench was overcrowded, and people with heads, faces, and backgrounds had to get a seat.

Shen Yu sat in the dock, her eyes swept lightly over the crowd in the hearing room, and she soon noticed something unusual.

Before the formal opening of the trial, most of the people in the hearing table were talking to each other and whispering something, but one person sat upright, looking ahead, out of place with the people around him.

Speaking of which, this person is also an old acquaintance.

Shen Yu looked at the hearing room, Sheng Ting thought she was looking at herself, and snorted coldly: "I think this woman doesn't shed tears when she doesn't see the coffin, Sheng Yanqing, do you want to make a mistake to the end?" ”

"Third uncle, the trial hasn't started yet, and everything is still unknown." Sheng Yanqing said kindly.

Sheng Ting was heartbroken, "What a sin, the Sheng family's generation still counts on you, you are actually obsessed, believe in an outsider, are you worthy of your grandmother under Jiuquan?" ”

"Who the hell doesn't know what the hell is going on?" Qin Shaoxiang's sharp eyes swept over the Sheng family, and said coldly, "The court will return my sister's innocence, those who hurt her and the old lady, don't even think about running!" ”

"You! You're spewing blood! Sheng Ting stood up angrily, but because of the background of the Qin family in his capital, he didn't dare to offend him, so he had to go to the side and find another position.

Qin Shaoxiang winked at Sheng Yanqing, "To deal with this kind of scoundrel, you have to use the tricks of a scoundrel." ”

Sheng Yanqing is a humble gentleman, he is principled and cultivated, and it is inappropriate to deal with Sheng Ting's rogue way, but Qin Shaoxiang is different, he says everything and does it.

"Be quiet! Be quiet! ”

Soon, the judge arrived, and the trial officially began.

After the reading of the court's order rules, the witnesses of the two sides took the oath, and the lawyers of both sides began to explain what had happened.

As the plaintiff, the second room took the lead in making a statement.

Xu Xinyue stood up and said, "The relationship between Shen Yu and Mrs. Sheng has always been discordant, and everyone can see it. On the day of Mrs. Sheng's death, someone saw Shen Yu coming out of the old lady's residence, and the two had a quarrel. Who would have thought that that night, Shen Yu sneaked into the old lady's residence and poisoned the old lady. Fortunately, God has eyes, she alarmed the people in the house, and she was arrested. ”

She was filled with righteous indignation, as if she couldn't tolerate Shen Yu's crime, her chest rose and fell, and she looked very angry.

Although this matter has long been rumored, it still caused a lot of commotion when it came out of the mouths of the parties, and there was a lot of discussion in the hearing room.

When a widow falls in love with her brother-in-law, she is opposed by her elders and kills her, which violates basic ethics.

The lawyer in the second room was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his hair was meticulously combed, and when he saw that the heat was almost over, he said: "Your Excellency, there are all the human and physical evidence in this case, the people in the second room of the Sheng family are human witnesses, and the bloodstained clothes on Shen Yu's body are physical evidence, please give the plaintiff justice." ”

The judge of the French Concession was a middle-aged man with slight hair, blond hair and blue eyes, and two interpreters stood beside him.

There are also many Tongcheng people in the French Concession, and his concept is different from that of the locals, and he does not have much emotional investment in the case.

He routinely asked Shen Yu's lawyer, "Does the defendant want to refute?" ”

Lawyer Si Swen gently lifted his glasses and said, "I want to ask the plaintiff, you said that the defendant and Mrs. Sheng have a discordant relationship, what evidence do you have?" As far as I know, the defendant Miss Shen was invited to attend the Sheng family's banquet that day, and was left by the old lady to speak alone afterwards. If the relationship is really not harmonious, Miss Shen is afraid that she won't even be able to get an invitation, right? ”

"As for the blood-stained clothes, they were left by Miss Shen when she tried to treat the old lady, how did it become ironclad evidence that she killed someone?"

The young lawyer, whose surname is Tang, is usually in charge of some of the legal work of the Sheng Family Tea Workshop, he wears a Chinese-style robe, glasses, and is bookish, and speaks in an orderly manner.

Seeing that he cleared Shen Yu's suspicion in a few words, the second old lady said with some excitement: "Then what did she do when she ran back to Sheng's house in the middle of the night?" It's still a small gate in the back garden, isn't this just afraid of being discovered? ”

"This ......" Lawyer Tang cleared his throat and looked at Shen Yu.

Shen Yu has already told Lawyer Tang everything about the matter, but if you want to talk about it in detail, it will involve Zhou's mother's death and the Shen family, and it is not clear in a few words.

Shen Yu was also considering the wording, but her silence became a void in the eyes of others.

The second old lady looked proud, anyway, everyone in the second room has alibi evidence, this pot, Shen Yu has to carry it if she doesn't carry it.

Discussion began again in the hearing room, and reporters even took out their cameras to take pictures, regardless of the occasion.

Shen Yu still looked light-hearted, and she spoke slowly, "Your Excellency, why did I return to the Sheng family, the reason is inconvenient to say, but I have evidence that I was not present when the old lady was poisoned, and when I saw the old lady, she was already ......."

Shen Yu choked up a little.

Xu Xinyue was a little angry, "Don't cry and fake mercy, do you still want to act at this time?" ”

Shen Yu ignored it, she nodded at Lawyer Tang, and the lawyer submitted a stack of test reports as evidence.

The judge looked at the paper in his hand, and the expression on his face was uncertain.

Everyone stared nervously at the judge, and the courtroom was quieter than ever.

The judge looked at it for a while, whispered a few words to the prosecutor on the side, and then he said: "This evidence can indeed prove the innocence of the defendant." ”

For a while, the audience was in an uproar.
