Chapter 342: Demonstrate in person
The presentation wasn't long, but it was fraught with danger.
It's better to step down, and the officer can at least stand firm, but it is still difficult to exert force with his forehand, and he can't achieve the original injury, and if he holds the knife with his backhand, it is even worse.
As for the round stool and armchair, the former stood up and shook, not to mention that he stabbed people with a knife, it was not easy to stabilize his body, and the official fell down several times, if it were not for the help of the little eunuch, I was afraid that he would fall hard.
The armchair is too high, and the official stands up straight, more than half a person taller than "Qiao Xiaodi No. 2", and must lean over or squat half-way to stab the back mark, and these two postures are not easy to maintain balance, and they are even more unstable when exerting force.
This thin little official has realized at this time, no longer holding a knife in his backhand, he takes his forehand, and once he has a forehand, it is difficult to exert force, and he misses the stab for a long time, or he stabs it, but he can't go deeper.
After this toss, the thin and thin official was sweating profusely, and when Chen Ying stopped, he wiped his sweat and jumped down, panting and handing back the wooden thorns.
"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Ying said with a smile, asked him to go down to rest, turned to the front of the hall, and said with a smile: "The first situation that Lord Cao said, the people's daughter has already been demonstrated with the assistance of Eunuch Sun, and you think you can see it clearly. ”
She took out the cloth cover from her sleeve, put it on the sharp wooden thorns, and pointed at the front of "Little Brother Qiao", there were many small holes on it: "This official stabbed a total of twenty-one knives, but none of the wounds on the paper man's chest kissed the original injury, if a few adults don't believe it, they can come down and count them." ”
This is a big statement, but the public demonstration is obvious to all, and no one can say that she is a fake. Besides, Sun Chaoli is still standing aside. This testimony is not light.
Xu Yuanlu nodded lightly and did not speak, Zhao Wuyi responded with "This official has no objections", and Cao Zilian's face was like an iron plate, and the wind did not move.
Chen Ying didn't say much, turned to Sun Chaoli, and said, "There is labor", Sun Chaoli waved his hand and beckoned a small eunuch.
Everyone looked at it wrongly, and saw that the little eunuch had changed his clothes at some point, wearing a long robe and stepping on bamboo sandals, and the most strange one was on his back, bulging with his pockets, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"The existing evidence of the folk girl is presented in the court, and a few adults are invited to look at it." Chen Ying returned to the small lacquer case, took a cloth bag, put on gloves, and took out a set of bloodstained clothes from the bag.
"This is the clothes that Brother Qiao wore when he died, including a coat, a hakama (ancient pants), and a pair of bamboo clogs." She bowed to Sun Chao: "Thank you, Eunuch Sun, for helping the people borrow these from the mortuary." ”
Sun Chaoli waved his hand and returned the salute, and then waved to the upper group: "This is borrowed by the slave and maid to go to the funeral, and it is indeed the clothes that Qiao Xiaodi was wearing when he died, and it is verified." ”
Everything is explained by him, and everyone will not doubt it, even Cao Zilian only stares at him, only looking at it and not saying anything.
Chen Ying thanked Sun Chaoli again, and immediately mentioned the bloody shawl and showed it to the three chief judges in front of the hall: "Adults, please see, this shawl is stained with blood, with the most on the back, and it is gradually thinning downward. ”
She picked up the stick, pointed down along the broken and bloodied part of her back, up to the hem of her shawl, and said, "This is the trail of blood." ”
Carefully putting down the shawl, she picked up the hakama and sandals again, and showed them again: "Look at these two pieces of clothing again, there are also blood stains on them, although not as much as on the shawl, but they are also spotted. She deliberately pointed out the clogs: "Especially the heels of the clogs, the blood stains are still deep." ”
"Bring it in." Xu Yuanlu suddenly raised his eyelids and said in a deep voice.
Immediately, a clerk came with a tray, Chen Ying put the bamboo clogs and the hakama on the mouth, and the clerk sent it to the front of the hall, and the first one was presented to Zhao Wuyi.
"Well, there was blood." After he took a closer look, he stroked the short hair under his chin and nodded: "The bamboo color is already dark, and the blood stains it is quite inconspicuous, so you need to look at it closely." ”
After a few people finished reading it, the little official returned with his clogs, and Chen Ying put it in the bag and said, "Now, the folk girl will come to demonstrate the second possibility that Lord Cao said, that is, Little Brother Qiao fell first, and Ziqi took advantage of his fall to the ground and stabbed him to death. ”
When the words landed, the little eunuch who had changed his clothes crawled on the spot and lay prone on the ground.
Only then did everyone realize that at some point, a rather large green felt was laid on the ground, and the little eunuch climbed on top of it.
"This demonstration will be a bit messy, and you need to put on green felt first, so as not to stain the court." It was Sun Chaoli who spoke.
He walked up to the fallen prisoner, raised his hand suddenly, and showed what he had in his hand, but it was an iron ruler.
"This demonstration, regardless of the direction of the knife, only ask you to pay attention to the bloodstains." Chen Ying stopped talking and nodded to Sun Chaoli.
Sun Chaoli picked up the iron ruler, walked to the little eunuch, and stabbed down suddenly.
"Poof, poof, poof", several sounds sounded in succession, and a large stream of "blood" suddenly burst out of the back of the little prisoner, and the green felt was dyed blood-colored in an instant.
There was a murmur from the hall.
This battle was indeed a little scary, and even more unexpected, all the officials were stunned, and a few of them were already pale.
"Don't worry, it's just red paint, not real blood." Chen Ying explained in time.
After Sun Chaoli stabbed five times, he wiped the iron ruler clean in a clean place on the green felt, put it in his sleeve, and then turned around and saluted upwards: "The slave and maid are bold, so that several adults are frightened." ”
Xu and Cao were accustomed to seeing such scenes, and their faces did not change, and Xu Yuanlu also nodded at Sun Chaoli: "Eunuch Sun is hard. ”
Zhao Wuyi rarely touched the matter of criminal names, and he was not afraid, but he was a little uncomfortable, and moved around his seat a few times, his face was still as usual.
"This demonstration will take a while, and the people ask the three adults to stay less." Chen Ying said.
Everyone was silent, and after a while, Xu Yuan raised his eyes suddenly, his eyes were cold: "Since this time is free, the official has a question, and I want to ask Miss Chen to solve the doubt." ”
Chen Ying bowed slightly: "Please come on, Lord Xu." ”
"Miss Chen's previous demonstration, the official thinks that it is still biased." Xu Yuanlu picked up the case file and flipped through it, with an indifferent expression: "Did Miss Chen forget that Little Brother Qiao's neck was strangled?" ”
He stood up, strode to the bottom of the hall, and stretched out his hand to Chen Yingyi: "Wooden thorns." ”
Chen Ying was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly handed it over.
He took the wooden thorn and strangled the neck of "Little Brother Qiao" with one arm.
"This official is higher than a human prisoner, and his strength is greater, please ignore these two points and just look at my movements." He strangled the paper figure by the neck, pulled it down to a certain position, and then held the wooden spike in his forehand and pushed it forward.
"Poof", in the muffled sound, this stab penetrated the front chest from the back of the heart, and the insertion and penetration basically coincided with the original injury.
"Miss Chen, look at it, in this way, the knife wound will show an upward trend, and as long as this method is used, the two fatal wounds that stabbed Qiao Xiaodi can actually be done." He looked at Chen Ying, his expression was still indifferent.
