Chapter 85 - Death sentence
Since her husband Cao Pu committed suicide and her son Cao Jing fell ill and died, Murong Lian has been widowed.
At this moment, Murong Lian saw that Yu Chisheng's murder case was on the hot search, and her heart was numb. Of course, as one of the parties involved, many media people rushed to interview her, but she politely refused.
She always recalled the bits and pieces with Yu Chisheng, and she felt happy.
But when she heard that Yu Chisheng came to kill her, she was very surprised, but when she calmed down and thought about it, she felt that this was reasonable, so she quickly forgave Yu Chisheng.
Because when Leader Ouyang came to ask her about Wei Chisheng, she was extremely reluctant to tell the truth. But she was threatened by Cheng Gong and other businessmen who were jealous of her husband, and she had to say so.
In fact, she regrets it now, but now, what's the use of regretting?
She felt that she had harmed Wei Chisheng, and if she praised him in front of Leader Ouyang, it would not change Leader Ouyang's opinion of Yu Chisheng, and Wei Chisheng would not come to kill her.
She really wanted to come to visit Yu Chisheng, but she was worried about being seen by the media, so she kept hesitating. Later, she still couldn't control it, disguised herself, and came to prison.
She inquired everywhere and wrote to the judge, asking for Wei Chisheng to be acquitted.
In the letter, she said that Mr. Wei was mentally ill. Although the illness is not serious, it will have two or three attacks a year, and Wei Chisheng killed me at that time because of the recurrence of the old disease.
However, after the letter was sent, it was lost in the sea and there was no reply.
The day of trial of Wei Chi Sheng has come, and some people have rushed to the courthouse one after another, and they all came to the trial court to observe the murder case. It was crowded with people, some people talking loudly about the case, and some media people coming to report on it...... The sounds were mixed together and were unusually noisy.
This kind of grand scene is more lively than a festival.
Ouyang Shan was helped by the big man, and she came to meet the judge who was greeted by the big man in advance.
The inquisitor pretended to be calm and said to Ouyang Shan: "Don't be impatient, I can use my personality to vouch for it, and Wei Chisheng will definitely be acquitted."
Hearing this, Ouyang Shan's hanging heart relaxed a little, but thinking that Yu Chisheng had given up hope of life, her mood became extremely heavy again.
That night, Ouyang Shan came to the prison and begged Yu Chisheng again not to think about death, but to think more about the child in her belly, but Yu Chisheng just didn't listen...... And so they had an argument.
For Ouyang Shan's enlightenment, Wei Chisheng was tired of arguing, so he no longer wanted to argue.
He said to Ouyang Shan: "Anyway, there is a lawyer to defend me, so let him defend it!" I think some people sympathize with me on the surface, but in fact wish I would die soon! Because some people are jealous of me and say that I am a man who eats soft rice. ”
"You're right, even if according to you, it's only a minority that someone wants you to die, but the majority of people still sympathize with you and want you to live." Ouyang Shan said excitedly, "As long as you don't talk nonsense in court, you still have hope to live......
The next day, Wei Chisheng was taken out of his cell and on his way to the courtroom.
When he saw that some people were attending his trial, his anxiety and sense of guilt were gone, and in his place was a sense of relief, and even a kind of pity and sympathy in his heart.
However, to his surprise, he did not hear a word of scolding as he walked through the crowd. "I'm not an unforgivable criminal," he thought, "and those people don't hate me as much as I thought they were...... They forgave me for my sins. ”
When he entered the solemn courtroom, he saw a large crowd of people sitting in the audience seat in the courtroom.
Yu Chisheng saw Kan Ying also coming.
"It's really Kan Ying!" Wei Chisheng didn't believe it, but after taking a closer look, he couldn't help but cry out, it was indeed Kan Ying, his face was flushed, "Kan Ying will definitely tell Murong Lian." ”
Actually, what Wei Chisheng didn't know was that Murong Lian had already come here.
He looked around and saw that the men in the gallery were looking at him intently. Then, some people began to talk about it.
At this time, there are people scrambling to the courtroom at the door, and the security guards are trying to maintain order.
Not long after, the trial began.
A female prosecutor reads the indictment in Mandarin against Mr. Wei for murder. In this regard, some people immediately expressed their dissatisfaction and sighed.
Seeing this situation, several bailiffs immediately came over and kept coming over to greet the quiet.
Such a scene is thankful for people who don't want to die. But Wei Chisheng only wanted to die, so all this made him feel uncomfortable.
When the lawyer was about to make a statement, he glanced at the lawyer indifferently and said with a blank face: "Please don't exaggerate, answer truthfully, and seek truth from facts."
However, the lawyer still defended to reduce Wei Chisheng's culpability, said his carefully prepared defense, and asked the judge to be lenient.
The lawyer was greatly encouraged and said something touching to the judge. When it came to the depths of love, even Wei Chi Sheng was moved.
The lawyer's argument lasted for more than an hour. Finally, the presiding judge asked the defendant to make a final statement. Wei Chisheng looked at the audience below, as if looking for something.
When he saw a pair of tearful eyes, he couldn't help muttering: "Is Kan Ying crying for me?"
Then he made up his mind and said:
"In the last moments of my life, probably most people would think that I would be afraid, that I would show weakness, that I would kneel down and beg for forgiveness. But I wasn't going to do that, I just wanted to die. ”
"Murong Lian is as kind to me as a mountain, but I will take revenge and kill her premeditated, although I killed the wrong person, I express deep guilt to that family, I'm sorry, I really deserve to be sentenced to death."
"I was advised to give birth, but I didn't think I needed to. Even if the crime is not punishable by death, I don't see that I am young and worthy of sympathy. ”
"Someone wants to punish young people from the lower levels by punishing me, they don't have any background, they come out to work hard, but they are fortunate to have a good education, and they dare some rich people to compete and share this cake."
"I was born in a rural area, and I had disputes with the people of this world, and I had excesses, and I broke the law, and I deserved it, so I was severely punished......"
Wei Chisheng said the words buried deep in his heart in one breath, and people felt sorry for his defense.
The prosecutor was extremely angry, some people in the audience wiped their tears, and Kan Ying also cried silently after listening.
Faced with such a scene, Wei Chisheng couldn't help but pour out all his love and gratitude for Murong Lian.
When Kan Ying heard this, she couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
Subsequently, the judge called for an adjournment and announced the verdict at a later date.
A few days later, the day of the court's verdict arrived. There are some people who have been paying attention to this case, quietly sitting in their seats and waiting for the final verdict to be announced. The courtroom was silent.
The presiding judge walked ahead of the jurors and stood up to announce that Wei Chisheng was convicted of murder and immediately sentenced to death.
In the audience, some people regretted the verdict and let out a burst of exclamations. (End of chapter)
