Chapter 745 Why Two Pigs

"Okay," Deng Xinguo swallowed, glanced at Deng Xinrong guiltily, and whispered, "I told the police that my brother taught my niece to do this." After that, he lowered his head and said nothing.

Deng Xinrong had an incredible look on his face when his brother and sister-in-law came in. When he heard his brother stabbing him in the back, his eyes were red with anger. "Brother, why do you say that? I clearly didn't do that."

The judge knocked on the table again, signaling Deng Xinguo to continue. His brother looked at the judge blankly and said, "I'm done."

Is that the end? A murmur broke out in the audience. "Good boy, just one sentence. He's here to close his argument, right?"

Lawyer He decided to guide him a little, "Tell me in detail what you heard."

Deng Xinguo hesitated for a long time, then lowered his head and said, "I can't really say. Let my wife tell me. She's more articulate."

Someone in the back burst out laughing. "I've never heard that being a witness requires some eloquence."

Deng Xinrong's sister-in-law, Li Xiuqin, wasn't as stage-timid as her husband. She glanced at him with some disdain and said to Lawyer He, "Let me explain. My husband can't even get a word out of me no matter how hard you try. He can't explain anything clearly. He's as dumb as two pigs."

The staff member next to him was obviously trying to hold back his laughter. Lawyer He also put his fist to his mouth and coughed twice.

I heard Chen Bin muttering again: "Why are there two pigs?"

I noticed this guy's focus was easily distracted, but in the spirit of helping others, I couldn't help but answer his questions again. "She must think that the word 'pig' is not enough to describe her man's stupidity."

He suddenly realized, "So cursing can actually add buffs like this." He lowered his voice and praised me, "After all, you're from University A. You're really smart. You understand everything."

I:"……"

Li Xiuqin's storytelling ability is obviously much better than her husband's. You can tell from her voice that she is the type who hangs out at the village intelligence station all year round.

Then I heard her say vividly: "I heard my uncle say before that Sisi's aunt's family is rich and loves Sisi very much. As long as her own daughter gets married and she can find a way to get her aunt to divorce, half of the property she gets will most likely be left to Sisi, and at the very least, she will be given a large dowry.

But when Sisi's cousin was about to get engaged, and her aunt was pregnant, my uncle was furious. He said that if she gave birth to a son, Sisi would definitely have no control over the property, so he had to find a way to get rid of her child.

I also advised him that she got pregnant when she was over 40 years old, so she had to give birth to the baby no matter what. How could he beat the child just because Sisi said a few words or acted coquettishly?

No matter how much she loves Sisi, she would not abort her child for Sisi. His plan was ultimately thwarted.

But my uncle said that if she didn’t want to have the baby aborted, he would try to help her.”

A roar erupted in the courtroom: "Li Xiuqin, you're talking nonsense!"

The roar frightened Li Xiuqin so much that she trembled and stopped talking abruptly.

The judge slammed the gavel: "Defendant Deng Xinrong, please remain calm! If you disrupt court order again, compulsory measures will be taken against you!"

Turning to Li Xiuqin, he said, "The witness may continue his statement."

Li Xiuqin put her hand on her chest, looking frightened, "I know that telling the truth will hurt my brother-in-law, but I feel guilty if I don't tell the truth!" As she spoke, she wiped away tears that she didn't know whether they existed or not.

Everyone in the Deng family is really a talented actor.

The judge's face showed no emotion as he said calmly, "Just tell the truth, witness."

Li Xiuqin feigned a timid sigh and continued, "I was terrified at the time and told him not to do anything rash. What if they sued him? But he said, of course he wouldn't do it himself. Sisi lives in her house, so it wouldn't be easy to get her to have a miscarriage."

"Did he specifically say what method he used?" Lawyer He asked.

Li Xiuqin seemed very hesitant. "He, he didn't tell me the specific method. He just said drugging, a fall, a car crash—anything would work. She's only three months pregnant, which is when she's most likely to have a miscarriage. He also said to take Sisi to apologize first, and if that doesn't work, we'll just wait and see. Anyway, he has to get rid of the baby."

Deng Xinrong was so angry that his face turned red and veins on his fists bulged, but under the pressure of the bailiffs on both sides, he held back and didn't dare to make a sound.

After Li Xiuqin finished speaking, Deng Xinrong's defense lawyer stood up and said hurriedly, "Your Honor, my client is emotional, but that's understandable. There are serious problems with the witness's testimony!"

First of all, the witness Li Xiuqin's statements are inconsistent. She initially said, "My uncle didn't specify what method he used," but later mentioned "drugging, falling, and car crashing." I have learned before that Deng Sisi had previously intended to murder her aunt and try to cause her to have a miscarriage.

Li Xiuqin's testimony was clearly based on Deng Sisi's previous actions, which is subjective conjecture rather than objective fact.

Lawyer He calmly retorted, "The witness merely stated Deng Xinrong's statements on different occasions; there is no contradiction.

Furthermore, the suspect Deng Xinrong's motive for instigating his daughter Deng Sisi was very clear. He was worried that after my client Ms. Lin gave birth to a son, her love for Deng Sisi would be affected, and thus her interests would be harmed. Therefore, he repeatedly hinted at, and even encouraged, Deng Sisi to take extreme measures to protect her own interests.

The judge hesitated for a moment and looked at Li Xiuqin: "Witness, can you confirm that Deng Xinrong did say these words?"

Li Xiuqin nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "It's absolutely true! My mother-in-law heard this too. If I lied, I'd be struck by lightning and die!"

Deng Xinrong's lawyer immediately seized on this point: "Your Honor, the witness's words were filled with strong subjective emotions, even using irrational expressions like 'God bless you with thunder and lightning!' This clearly casts doubt on the credibility of his testimony!"

The judge did not immediately express his opinion, but turned to Deng Xinrong: "Defendant Deng Xinrong, what is your response to the witness's accusation?"

Deng Xinrong took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. "Judge, my brother and sister-in-law have always been jealous of my daughter's good life in the city. They just want to harm me! I never said those words!"

Li Xiuqin was furious when she heard this: "Deng Xinrong! You're talking nonsense! You did this all yourself, and now you want to blame us?!"

The judge banged the gavel again: "Witness, watch your words!"

The scene was chaotic for a moment, and the students in the auditorium couldn't help but murmur. Chen Bin muttered quietly, "These two brothers are like a TV drama. It's so melodramatic."

I nodded in agreement: "Art comes from life."

Lawyer He took advantage of the situation and continued to put pressure on the case: "Your Honor, in addition to the witness testimony, we also have Deng Sisi's own confession.

She clearly mentioned in the police record that her father had repeatedly told her that 'my aunt's child cannot be kept' and instigated her to 'find a way to solve it.'"
