Chapter 104: Witnesses Defect
Plaintiff's lawyer: "We have two florists who worked in Yijia back then, and they witnessed the development of the incident with their own eyes, and we applied for witnesses to testify in court. โ
The judge answered, and the witnesses were called.
The No. 1 witness is a man in his sixties, with a thin and thin figure, a haggard complexion, but his eyes are flashing.
The judge glanced at the information and asked: "Witness Liu Fa, have you ever seen the facts of the defendant's homicide on March 12, 94?" โ
Liu Fa leaned over, but his voice was full of neutrality, "Judge Hui, I haven't seen it." โ
Judge: "Then why are you willing to testify?" If you don't know, you're committing perjury. โ
Liu Fa: "I testified in court to expose the evil deeds of the plaintiff's lawyer, he used money to bribe me to appear in court to testify falsely, and threatened me not to speak out, I have no choice but to wait until now to tell the truth." โ
The plaintiff's lawyer said in a deep voice: "Liu Fa, this is the court, you can't be allowed to flout the law, you'd better tell the truth." โ
Defendant's lawyer: "Are you angry?" โ
Plaintiff's lawyer: "I just want him to tell the truth, not angry, besides, I didn't see Liu Fa until half an hour before I appeared in court, so how can I buy him to give false testimony?" โ
Liu Fa: "Your Excellency has a clear view, although the lawyer who bought me is not the plaintiff's lawyer, but the fourth lady of the Yi family, Yi Lip. โ
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Yi Li, who was sitting quietly in the audience, and the people around whispered, but Yi Yan didn't care, looking at Liu Fa's dodging eyes indifferently.
Aunt Qu suddenly stood up and yelled at Liu Fa excitedly: "You are spewing blood, how can the fourth lady buy you to make a false testimony." It is a fact that Mr. Big kills people, and you should not reverse right and wrong here. โ
Judge: "Plaintiff, please keep your emotions under control. โ
Aunt Qu sat down unwillingly, but her eyes were staring at Liu Fa, eager to tear him apart.
Defendant's lawyer: "Your Excellency, we also have witnesses in court. โ
The second witness is Hu Li, and Yi Li never thought that Hu Li would testify in court.
Judge: "Witness Hu Li, what do you have to say?" โ
Hu Li raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her voice was sad: "My daughter has had a serious illness since she was three years old, and she often talks nonsense. Fang Jianbin and his wife went out to do business and did not return home all the year round, and my daughter had serious paranoia, so she felt that Fang Jianbin and his wife were killed. My sister Hu Jiao and I have been corresponding, and they are far away, where may they have been killed. In the final analysis, it was my lack of concern for the child that made her sicker, and now she is unscrupulous, cranky, and even goes to court. โ
Plaintiff's lawyer: "Ms. Hu, I would like to ask you, is what you just said true, not the slightest bit false?" โ
Hu Li sobbed and replied, "What I said is the truth. โ
Plaintiff's lawyer: "Then may I ask, today's plaintiff is Ms. Qu and not Miss Yi, why do you want to talk about Miss Yi's situation?" You keep saying that you don't care enough about your children, how can you insist that Miss Yi is suffering from paranoia and talking nonsense? Where were you on the day Mr. Yi Yuanxiang killed Fang Jianbin? When Mr. Yi Yuanxiang killed Hu Jiao, where were you? โ
Hu Li: "I went back to my parents' house at the time, and I was not there. โ
The plaintiff's lawyer: "Since he was not at the scene, how can he know that Mr. Yi Yuanxiang did not kill Fang Jianbin and his wife?" You said that you still have contact with your sister and brother-in-law for so many years, so why has Fang Luo been raised in the Yi family? Fourteen years ago, the Yi family issued a statement that Fang Luo's parents were killed, and Yi Yuanxiang recognized her as a righteous daughter and raised her in the Yi family, how can this be explained? โ
Hu Liyi was speechless, opened her mouth and didn't know how to speak.
The plaintiff's lawyer: "Liu Fa, you said that Miss Yi Li bribed you to give false testimony?" โ
Liu Fa replied: "Yes." โ
Plaintiff's lawyer: "Then why are there so many people in the Yi family, and Miss Yi lip just buys you, but not others?" Or did you offer to testify yourself? Threaten Miss Fourth to give you money, otherwise you will turn against you? Otherwise, why would you appear in court today as a witness for the plaintiff? Or is the defendant the one who bought you? โ
Liu Fa raised his head in a panic and insisted: "There is no one else, it is the fourth lady who took the initiative to find me?" โ
Plaintiff's lawyer: "You said that Miss Yi took the initiative to find you, so when did you come to Nandu?" When did Miss Lip find you, did she find you two days before the trial, and asked you to keep it a secret? โ
Liu Fa's eyes rolled before he replied slowly, "Yes...... Yes, it was two days ago. โ
The plaintiff's lawyer asked again: "Miss Fourth hasn't left Qi Longcang in the past five days?" Where did you find you? Or is it that the person looking for you is not Miss Four at all, but someone buys you in the name of Miss Four? โ
Liu Fa glanced at the defendant's lawyer in a panic, and then hurriedly explained: "No, someone came to me in the name of Miss Fourth and gave me money." โ
The plaintiff's lawyer smiled and looked at the judge: "Your Excellency, I'm done asking." โ
Defendant's lawyer: "The plaintiff's lawyer deliberately misinterprets the testimony of the witness by using language traps, and we object. โ
The judge struck the gavel: "The objection is invalid." โ
The defendant's lawyer glanced at the plaintiff's lawyer with a heavy face, and then said to the judge: "Your Excellency, we provide evidence that Ms. Qu, as the plaintiff, was not in Yi's house in 94 years, and Hua Fen was not in Nandu during the incident. โ
Yi's clenched fist was released, it turned out that she even had a train ticket for Hua Fen to enter and leave Nandu, and Yi Jue's move was completely aimed at her, it was nothing more than wanting to use her own way to give her back the body, catch her off guard, and let her also taste what it means to be disheartened and powerless.
Yi Jue is more ruthless than Yi Yuanxiang.
Witness No. 3 was also told to her by Ijue, so she would also defect and not tell the truth. Witness No. 4 is Fang Luo, who keeps saying that his parents are still alive, and the bones of the Rosewood Garden do not know who they are, and as for the DNA identification, it is impossible to count, and the defendant's lawyer and the plaintiff's lawyer are still arguing fiercely.
Plaintiff's lawyer: "Miss Fang, since you said that your parents are still alive, why are the two white bones in the appraisal report issued by the forensic department of the criminal police team your parents?" It seems a bit far-fetched that you didn't go to your parents for so many years, but instead sent someone to the Yi family? โ
Fang Luo had a weak attitude, and I saw a pitiful look: "My parents are busy with business and have no time to take care of me, I have lived in the Yi family for so many years, Uncle Yi and Aunt Hu are very good to me, I will naturally not be under the fence when they are relatives." If you look it up, you should know that I just returned to China half a year ago, and I have been living with my parents during this period, so how could my parents die? As for the report issued by the forensic department of the criminal police team, it was a mistake, and Captain Li went to Yi's house this morning to inform him. โ
Aunt Qu was shocked: "How is it possible!" Your parents can't be alive. โ
Fang Luo asked rhetorically: "Aunt Qu, I know that you are kind-hearted, but you are being confused by others, my parents are alive, how can you curse them like this, someone must have threatened you to do this, right?" โ
Aunt Qu opened her mouth, and the plaintiff's lawyer took over: "Miss Fang, please pay attention to your words and don't make personal attacks." โ
Defendant's lawyer: "Isn't what Miss Fang said true?" Fang Jianbin and his wife are alive, but you curse them because of your own selfish desires, regardless of etiquette and morality, and deliberately frame our client to commit a crime. Ms. Hua Fen was buried in the millennium, and after a few years, she will be used by you just to falsify the recording, if someone did not help you, how could you be so bold. The fourth lady of the Yi family was resentful, and she held a grudge against our client's punishment for her back then, and even cursed her mother to die. โ
The plaintiff's lawyer was furious: "You misinterpreted the facts, and you spewed blood. โ
Judge: "Please pay attention to the words and emotions of the two lawyers, this is the courtroom." โ
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
After that, she didn't hear half a word, she looked ahead with a blank expression, the appearance of the judge and the jurors was not true in her sight, the fierce confrontation between the plaintiff and the defendant's lawyer was not in her ears, the lips of the so-called witnesses were closed one by one, and they were very blurred, and there was a buzzing busy sound in her ears all the time, and her brain stopped running.
Yi Li didn't know what she could do at this moment, whether to stand up and loudly refute the shamelessness of the defendant's lawyer, or to reprimand the plaintiff's witnesses for their defection, or to grieve Hu Li's partiality, or to ask Yi Jue indignantly why he did this?
After a brief period of deafness, a voice could finally be heard, and the judge sat there and struck the gavel: "Plaintiff, do you have any other strong evidence, if not, then we will announce the dismissal of your lawsuit against Mr. Yi Yuanxiang." โ
Lip suddenly stood up from the top of the audience and walked out. This confrontation in court suddenly made no sense to her, no matter what the outcome was, it couldn't change what happened to her, nor could it change the pent-up anger and grievances in her heart.
Now she understands that she tried her best, and in the end she just lost the most basic dignity, she thought that the tiger poison did not eat children, and the crow could still feed back, but the Yi family, a big family that has stood on Rosewood Road for a hundred years, has unlimited scenery on the surface, but in fact it is full of holes, and everyone welcomes each other with a smile, but it is just a hypocritical face.
She asked herself, what is it fighting for? What can you fight for?
Out of the courthouse, Yi Yan stood in the doorway, stretched out his hand to block the top of his head, opened his five fingers, his eyes looked at the harsh but not warm sunlight through the wide gap in his fingers, and even the sound of his own breathing was clearly visible in the silence around him.
