Although the distinguished guests present were very unhappy about this, especially when they saw those people from all walks of life sitting there happily, they felt even more unhappy.

But no one was really angry enough to get up and leave, because most people knew very well that Zhang Fei must have made such arrangements for a reason, and it was impossible that he would make such arrangements on purpose to anger them.

You shouldn't be that bored. After all, you are in your twenties.

This is due to the fact that they are not familiar with Zhang Fei. People who are familiar with Zhang Fei may not think that this guy is vindictive.

The common people outside the courtyard were quite depressed. It turned out that they were really invited to come in and sit down. This...!

The key point is that even with these dozen people entering, the space outside didn’t become more spacious; it was still very crowded!

Otherwise, arrange a few more seats.

There seems to be a lot of space at the back!

Boom boom boom!

The gavel rang out again.

...

...

The courtyard immediately became quiet again, but people's awe was less, as if the young president of the court was different from most officials.

“Ahem!”

Zhang Fei cleared his throat and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, today the court will hear the case of Wu Zhang, a woman from Guixiang, who murdered her mother-in-law Wu Li."

As he spoke, he also looked down at the copy.

Xu Zhiqian looked at him slightly depressed and sighed secretly, "You are not even willing to write down this opening remark?"

However, this opening speech really stunned the distinguished guests present.

It’s really unique!

You. Are you doing business?

You also need to make a product introduction.

Newbie!

A pure newbie!

Sitting

After these words were spoken, they all felt their momentum weakened a lot.

Zhang Fei didn't seem to care. He looked at Su Zhe and said, "Prosecutor Su, I have read the case file and there is nothing suspicious."

Qin Zhongshou immediately wondered, "If there is no doubt, why do you care about him?"

Cao Dongdong, who was sitting next to him, said, "Uncle Qin, you don't know that he asked this on purpose."

Qin Zhongshou asked curiously: "Why?"

Cao Dongdong said: "Of course it's convenient for us to watch the trial. Why else? If he doesn't explain it clearly, then we won't understand it."

"ah?"

Qin Zhongshou was petrified immediately.

Are you so considerate?

Su Che stood up and said, "In reply to the judge, our procuratorate has sufficient evidence to prove that the only eyewitness in this case did not tell the truth. At the same time, we have found another eyewitness. According to the testimony of this witness, our procuratorate believes that Zhang was not murdered, but manslaughter."

"Manslaughter?"

Cai Yanqing frowned secretly, feeling a little dissatisfied. Either you beat the innocent person, or you make it into a case of manslaughter, which is a bit sensational.

It was obviously aimed at him.

Many officials thought the same as he did.

Then Su Che said, "I beg the judge to allow me to call the witness Li Yan."

"Call the witness Li Yan!"

Zhang Fei knocked the gavel.

But a Royal Policeman brought a burly, bearded man in his thirties into the hall and led him to the witness stand on the right.

“You can sit or stand.”

"I can just stand."

After the Royal Police gave the instructions, they stepped aside.

These days, Zhang Fei has not been busy with anything else but teaching these court guards the rules of performing their duties in court.

Su Che stood up and asked Li Yan, "What is your name, where do you live, and how do you make a living?"

The distinguished guests present were dumbfounded again.

You just mentioned the person's name, why are you asking it again?

Those who have never read the online article are almost sweating with anxiety. Are you trying a case or performing?

Even the experienced Cai Yanqing felt a little ridiculous at this moment.

Li Yan was not so scared when he saw the other party was so polite. After all, Su Che was not sitting on it. He said, "My name is Li Yan. I live in Pingshui Township. I usually make a living by chopping wood and hunting."

Su Che asked, "Is it Pingshui Township across the Guixiang River?"

Li Yan nodded.

Su Che continued to ask: "Do you still remember what happened on the morning of April 16 this year?"

"Of course I remember."

Li Yan said, "That morning I went up the mountain to hunt as usual, but after searching for a while I didn't see any prey. I happened to come to the river and was going to drink some water, wash my face, and chop some firewood. Suddenly I saw a woman on the other side pushing an old woman into the river. I was really scared at that time."

Su Che asked, "Did you see the other person's face clearly?"

Li Yan shook his head and said, "I didn't see it clearly. It was just dawn at that time and I was just on the other side. I only saw that the young woman was wearing a linen skirt."

Su Che asked again: "Did you see the old woman's appearance clearly?"

Li Yan shook his head, "Of course not."

Su Che continued to ask: "Then did you see clearly what kind of clothes the old woman was wearing?"

Li Yan blinked, then shook his head and said, "I didn't see it clearly either."

Cai Yanqing and Zhuo Qun looked at each other tacitly.

Zhuo Qun whispered, "If I remember correctly, Li Yan's confession did not mention what the old woman was wearing."

Cai Yanqing asked, "Have our people asked?"

Zhuo Qun shook his head awkwardly.

Su Che asked, "Why did you see what the young woman was wearing, but not what the old woman was wearing?"

Li Yan said, "Because when I looked up, I saw the young woman pushing the old woman down. It happened too fast and from such a distance, how could I see clearly? I can only tell the truth and I won't lie."

Su Che smiled and nodded, then asked, "You just said you raised your head, but were you squatting at that time?"

Li Yan nodded and said, "I was drinking water by the river, of course I was squatting."

Su Che asked again: "Why do you look up at the other side?"

Li Yan said casually: "After drinking the water, of course I will raise my head!"

Su Che hummed, and then winked at a Royal Policeman next to him. The Royal Policeman immediately stepped forward, and then Su Che said to Li Yan: "Can you demonstrate how the woman would push the old woman down?"

Then he pointed at the Royal Policeman and said, "Just treat him as that old woman."

"OK."

Li Yan rushed forward and gently pushed the Royal Policeman, then said to Su Zhe: "But the woman pushed very hard, I didn't dare to use force."

"clear!"

Su Zhe smiled and nodded, then nodded to the royal policeman.

The Royal Policeman lay down directly.

Su Che said to Li Yan again: "Try pushing it the same way you did just now."

Li Yan was dumbfounded. "How can I push him when he is lying down?"

Su Che asked, "Can't you push it?"

Li Yan shook his head.

Su Zhe said, "That's strange. Wu Li has been paralyzed in bed for eight years. She needs someone to help her sit up, and she needs a blanket behind her back. How could she stand there and let someone push her?"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar and the audience pointed at Li Yan.

"Silence! Silence!"

Zhang Fei knocked the gavel several times.

Cai Yanqing couldn't help but frown, his face showing a bit of embarrassment, thinking, how come I didn't notice such a big flaw at that time.

After careful consideration, it was not him who recorded the confession, but the yamen runners under him. The key was "inference", but he did not ask or think about how to infer, because Zhang had directly admitted it, so there was no need to ask about these details.

"No, no."

Li Yan immediately waved his hands and said, "I just demonstrated it casually. I didn't dare to let this brother lie down! In fact, I saw the woman dragging the old woman to the river and then pushing her into the river."

Su Che raised his hand again and said, "Then please demonstrate it carefully again."

The people watching outside the door were all stunned. Is it so gentle?

They have all seen case trials. The other party is already guilty, and at this time the gavel will definitely be used to scare him, asking him, "Do you know how to judge a case?"

Li Yan glanced at Su Zhe guiltily, then stepped forward, hesitated for a while, then squatted down, put his hands under the Royal Police's armpits, bent his knees, bent over, hugged him and threw him aside.

"Are you sure this time?"

Su Che asked.

Li Yan hesitated for a while before nodding and saying, "OK."

Su Che nodded slightly, then turned his head to Zhang Fei and said, "Judge, our procuratorate has sent people to investigate the crime scene. The river bank where Li Yan was located was low, so he was able to squat by the river to drink water, while the other side was relatively high and covered with weeds. We arranged for a person as tall as Zhang to bend over and half-squat by the river. If the person on the other side was also squatting, it would be impossible for him to see the other person."

After these words, no matter whether they were experts or laymen, everyone inside and outside the court had the same expression, and they all looked at Su Che in disbelief.

So thin!

You are too thin!

You really predicted the other party's predictions!

At this moment, no one dared to underestimate these young people.

Traditional trials were all about intimidation and threats, and the people knew it, but Su Che used absolute evidence to prove that the other party was lying, without any intimidation.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Cai Jing and the others couldn't hold their temper and couldn't help but smile.

A group of people who have never seen the world and look down on us.

Really.!

hehe!

After a while, cheers suddenly came from outside the court.

Qin Zhongshou woke up with a start, closed his mouth, swallowed, and said to Cao Dongdong: "Dong'er, that boy is really amazing!"

Cao Dongdong said with disdain: "Uncle Qin has never seen my special ear pen, but it is much better than Chief Prosecutor Su. He has never defeated my ear pen. Humph."

Qin Zhongshou asked anxiously, "Is your Erbi so powerful?"

"My Erbi became the president of the court just by litigating cases. How can he not be amazing?"

"Yeah?"

Qin Zhongshou said in surprise.

"It's Zhang San."

Cao Dongdong pointed at Zhang Fei who was sitting high up.

".?"

"quiet!"

Zhang Fei knocked the gavel a few times.

At this time, a prosecutor came forward with a document and handed it to Zhang Fei, "Mr. Judge, this is the evidence we found at the scene of the crime."

After Zhang Fei read it, he turned his head to look at Li Yan and said, "Li Yan, let me remind you that giving false testimony in the imperial court is illegal. Those with serious circumstances may be sentenced to one to three years in prison."

Li Yan was so frightened that his legs went limp and he fell to his knees. "Please spare me, Judge! I didn't mean to lie. I just wanted to take credit, so I exaggerated."

Zhang Fei said: "Stand up first."

"yes."

Li Yan hesitated for a moment before slowly getting up.

Zhang Fei added: "This judge will give you one more chance because this is your first offense and it hasn't caused any serious harm. Tell the truth. If you tell any more lies, this judge will punish you severely."

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Li Yan trembled as he said, "Actually, I didn't notice the other side at the time. I was just drinking water by the river. Suddenly, I heard a splash. I looked up and saw a young woman running up to me. She almost fell into the river. After a while, the woman lay on the bank and started crying."

Zhang Fei asked, "When you said you just happened to see her, did you look up and see the woman standing on the shore, or did you say it was a while later?"

Li Yan thought for a moment and said, "I didn't see it at first glance, but in the blink of an eye, I saw the woman running up to me."

Zhang Fei nodded and asked, "Why didn't you tell the truth at the beginning?"

Li Yan lowered his head and said, "It was because I saw the woman alone on the other side of the river, and I thought she must have pushed him down. And before I went to the government, I boasted to the villagers about it. I could only continue to say so, so that the government would not suspect me and I could take credit for it."

There was a sudden roar of curses at the door.

The tea lady sitting on the sidelines stomped her feet and cursed softly, "What a piece of shit."
