Chapter 295: Passionate Defense

The examiner asked:

"You accused Tang Shasha of stealing your IOU, right?"

"Yes."

"Did the witness witness the theft by the accused?"

"No, I wasn't at the scene of the crime at that time, but the receptionist and driver saw it."

"Did they testify that the suspect was the defendant Tang Shasha?"

"No, there isn't. They described the perpetrator as a young woman wearing a black veil. ”

"On what basis do you accuse Tang Shasha of being a criminal?"

"It was Du Jianghong who told me that the thief's name was Tang Shasha, and when he committed the crime, a red spot of light appeared on the back of his right hand."

"Ask the defendant's defense lawyer to question!"

Jiao Zhidong stood up and asked:

"Zhou Shanfu, according to what you said, it was Du Jianghong who told you, can you show strong evidence?"

Zhou Shanfu was silent.

"You can't show it, can you? Du Jianghong has died unexpectedly, and you can't show strong evidence. ”

Zhou Shanfu still didn't say a word, his eyes kept blinking, and he was a little nervous.

"Zhou Shanfu, you can't answer my two questions, which is enough to show that your accusation against Tang Shasha is unsubstantiated, that is, you don't have any evidence or witnesses to prove to the court that Tang Shasha is the culprit, right?"

Zhou Shanfu still didn't say a word, and a thin bead of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Zhou Shanfu, according to what you alleged, the defendant Tang Shasha stole several IOUs from your safe, can you explain who the borrower is?"

"Some people who are in a hurry to use the money."

"That's nature! Can you name the borrower?"

"It's Yao Huanming...... Liu Mingzhong...... And ......"

"That's enough, then, what is the interest on your borrowing?"

Zhou Shanfu was silent again this time.

"If the plaintiff refuses to answer, I may show to the court that the investigation shows that the total amount of the loan is $800, but you have to repay $1,250 under duress. This is a rare usury, much higher than the legal interest rate, and you are a wanton usurer, and you deserve to be severely punished by the law! ”

Defense lawyer Jiao Zhidong said loudly, but Zhou Shanfu stared at him with embarrassment.

"Attorney General, my questioning is over."

"Witnesses may return to the table." The presiding judge said.

Zhou Shanfu returned to his seat unsteadily, and kept wiping the cold sweat on his head with a handkerchief. Miss Ushers and the driver of Chow Sin Fook's car both testified in court. However, they did not see the suspect with their own eyes.

The attorney again asked:

"Have you ever seen a red spot on the defendant's hand?"

"We don't see it."

The two answers are exactly the same.

The presiding judge also summoned the witness Wu Lianhua, an old housekeeper, to the court.

"Witness Wu Lianhua, have you ever seen a red spot of light appear on the back of Tang Shasha's right hand?"

The question asked by the judicial prosecutor made the old housekeeper Wu Lianhua shocked, as a witness, she would inevitably have to be questioned, but she never imagined that she would be asked about it anyway, and she squeaked a little.

"Is there any? Please answer! ”

"It's ......"

This is the secret of the young lady, and if I admit it, the young lady will be regarded as a terrible person who can do all kinds of bad things...... That'...... But...... The old housekeeper Wu Lianhua's heart was full of contradictions, and she had sworn in public in the court, she did not dare to break her oath, and tears filled her eyes.

What is the truth? Wu Lianhua, please answer! ”

The judicial prosecutor's voice asked, which made the old housekeeper Wu Lianhua more and more unsure of what to do, and she swallowed and vomited for a long time before she spoke:

"I've seen ...... This is the same as what the prosecutor asked. After saying this, the old housekeeper Wu Lianhua lowered his head and hid his face and wept.

"You mean, you admit to witnessing a red spot on the back of Tang Shasha's hand? Isn't that right?" The judicial prosecutor pressed forward step by step.

"That's it, but it's ......"

"The witness only needs to answer the question, and after my questioning, I will ask the defendant's defense lawyer for questioning."

"I don't have to ask." Jiao Zhidong said.

Next, the court summoned Yuan Hongnian to testify.

"Did the witness ever see a red spot on the back of the defendant's hand?"

"Nope."

"So, according to the plaintiff, it was Du Jianghong who told him about the red light spots, have you heard Du Jianghong talk about it?"

"Yes, but ......"

"Okay, I'm done with the questioning, and I'll ask the defendant's defense lawyer for questioning."

"I don't have to ask." Jiao Zhidong returned to his seat.

Then, Lang Xiaobai stood up and said to the judicial prosecutor:

"In my capacity as the special defender of the defendant, I ask the witness Mr. Yuan Hongnian to testify in court."

Yuan Hongnian came to the witness stand again.

"Excuse me, have you heard Du Jianghong talk about Tang Shasha's relationship with the red light spot?"

"Yes, I heard Du Jianghong talk about it."

"When, where?"

"Due to the deterioration of Du Jianghong's gunshot wound, he was sent to our affiliated hospital for rescue. In the hospital room, he told me that there would be a red spot of light on the back of Tang Shasha's right hand. ”

"At that time, was Du Jianghong very conscious?"

"No, he is outwardly seriously injured and dying. But in fact, this is all in his disguise, and later the doctor confirmed this, he pretended that his injury was getting worse, and his breathing became more and more difficult, and before he died, he wanted to reveal to me the secret about Tang Shasha and the red light spot, in fact, this was a premeditated plan that Du Jianghong had planned a long time ago.

"Soon, we left the hospital, and when we came to the hospital again, we learned that he had stunned the only female nurse in the house and slipped outside, but the staff soon found out that he wanted to escape, and chased and intercepted him, Du Jianghong fought with them, and finally fled to the fifth floor, where he died due to an accidental fall."

"Are you saying that Du Jianghong deliberately made up lies!"

"That's right."

"I'm done, thank you."

"Ask the witness to return to his place."

Lang Xiaobai said again: "Presiding judge, I request to defend as the defendant's special defender. ”

"The request is valid."

Lang Xiaobai began his passionate defense.

"Honorable presiding judge, honorable jurors, Du Jianghong said that there was a red spot of light on the back of the defendant's right hand, and I and the witness Yuan Hongnian were both present at the scene. What Du Jianghong said is true. ”

Just like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, Lang Xiaobai's words caused an uproar in the jury and the auditorium, some of them discussed, and some couldn't hold back and stood up from their seats.

"Quiet! …… Please keep the court in order! The presiding judge struck the gavel hard.

In this way, the people quieted down, and Lang Xiaobai continued to make his defense statement.

"The prosecutor, the jurors, it is true that there will be red spots on the defendant's hands, and I have seen it with my own eyes, and I can testify.

This is the same as Hu Qiuhua, who died not long ago, suffering from a strange disease inherited from his ancestors, and there are red spots on the back of his hands. However, there are two types of this strange genetic disease, which is my specialty and my research topic.

These two types are divided into good and bad, Hu Qiuhua is the type of bad, whenever he wants to do evil, he will be excited, and red spots will appear; The other is when the patient wants to do good deeds, and the red light spots appear because of the excitement.

"That said, there are two diametrically opposed types of this strange genetic disease. The defendant's red light spot was due to the fact that he was trying to save the poor people who had been exploited by loan sharks, which caused the defendant to become overly excited and became ill.

"The defendant in fact stole several receipts from the plaintiff's safe, as the plaintiff alleged. At that time, it was true that there was a red spot on the back of the defendant's hand, but her motive for the crime was not to steal money, but to save people. ”
