Chapter 191 How the Government Decides a Case
Tu Subo glanced at Gu Yuexuan calmly, his eyes like arrows pointing straight at the stable in the distance.
Gu Yuexuan just hugged her arms and shook her head gently.
Before Tu Subo could make any move, Mrs. Wei emotionally struggled to get up from the ground, using her hands and feet to point at Tu Subo, screaming wildly, "It's him!"
"It was him who killed my son!"
"He's the one who broke my son's arm!"
Tu Subo stared at her skinny fingers trying to poke his cheek, his eyes revealing an elusive complex emotion: "You said I hit you, then where is the evidence?"
"What evidence do you have?"
Tu Suting's gaze fell on the mess on the floor of the greenhouse, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes. He clenched his fists and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the old grandfather's cough.
"Su Ting, be careful with your words." The old grandfather's eyes were as sharp as a knife, sweeping across everyone present, and he spoke in a serious tone.
Tu Subo stood aside with a calm expression. He walked forward slowly and looked at the mess in the greenhouse. Although he was angry, he knew that he could not make a hasty conviction.
"Mrs. Wei, you said I hurt someone, but do you have any evidence?" Tu Subo's voice was low and powerful, and he looked straight at Mrs. Wei.
Mrs. Wei shuddered, her eyes flickering. She clutched the corner of her son's clothes tightly and said in a trembling voice, "I saw it with my own eyes. He, he beat Wei Cai. Wei Cai is still lying in bed and can't move."
Tu Subo frowned and turned to look at his third uncle Tu Suting. Tu Suting nodded slightly, motioning Tu Subo to continue.
"Mrs. Wei, I cannot convict you based on your one-sided statement alone. We must have solid evidence to determine right from wrong." Tu Subo's tone was firm and left no room for doubt.
Mrs. Wei's expression changed, and she pointed at Tu Subo angrily: "Are you trying to wrongly accuse our Wei family? Is my son's injury fake?"
The old grandfather coughed and spoke slowly: "Su Bo is right. There is insufficient evidence and we cannot easily convict him. Su Ting, tell me what happened at that time?"
Tu Suting paused for a moment, recalling the scene. "That day, I was checking the crops in the greenhouse when Wei Cai suddenly barged in and attacked me without a word. I was forced to defend myself, but I didn't use any force. Later, Wei Cai collapsed on his own, and I don't know the details."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wei's face turned even uglier. She screamed, "You, you are all in cahoots, deliberately accusing our Wei family!"
At this time, a villager walked into the yard, holding a piece of paper in his hand and handed it to the old grandfather: "Grandpa, I found this near the greenhouse. There seems to be some clues on it."
The old grandfather took the paper and unfolded it. There were some strange patterns drawn on it, as well as a line of small words. He frowned slightly and handed the paper to Tu Subo.
Tu Subo examined it carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "This is Wei Cai's handwriting! These patterns and words are clearly clues left by Wei Cai."
Mrs. Wei looked at her son in panic, then tremblingly took the paper, her eyes glazed over. He seemed to remember something and stammered, "I remember, after I was beaten that day, I saw someone breaking into the greenhouse. He had a knife in his hand."
A cold light flashed in Tu Subo's eyes. He turned to look at his grandfather and said, "Grandfather, it seems that this was not done by the Wei family. Someone deliberately framed us. This knife was most likely left by the murderer."
The old grandfather nodded and said seriously, "Su Bo, you are right. This matter involves serious consequences. We must find out the truth as soon as possible and give justice to the Wei family."
Tu Subo turned to look at Mrs. Wei and said in a gentle tone, "Mrs. Wei, you misunderstood. We didn't mean to wrongly accuse you. We just want to find out the truth. Now, we need your son's help to find the murderer together."
Mrs. Wei hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded. Wei Cai gripped the knife tightly, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.
Gu Yuexuan looked at Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei, with a look of determination and disdain in her eyes. Her eyebrows raised, and her voice was cold: "Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Wei family, you accuse my Su Bo of this. Do you have any evidence? If you don't have evidence, it's just unreasonable!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wei's face darkened, her eyes widened, and she angrily said, "Evidence? The evidence is the tragic condition of my Tianwen! His arms are twisted, his face pale. If it wasn't someone from your Tusu family who did this, who else could it be?"
Mrs. Wei also agreed, "That's right. We saw Tu Subo walk past our door that afternoon with our own eyes, and then Tianwen became like this. If it wasn't him, who else could it be?"
Tu Subo stood beside Gu Yuexuan, his face calm. He looked at the Wei family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and spoke slowly, "I did pass by your house that afternoon, but I didn't hurt Wei Tianwen. You are accusing me like this, aren't you wronging a good person?"
Tu Suting couldn't help but speak up at this point: "Wei family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, you are so confident in your claims, but you have no evidence. If we can't explain it here, why don't we go to the government and ask the county magistrate to seek justice."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wei's expression softened slightly, but she still asked unwillingly, "Then do you dare to swear in front of the government that you have not harmed Tianwen?"
Tu Subo said without hesitation: "I am willing to swear that if I hurt Wei Tianwen, I am willing to bear all the blame."
Gu Yuexuan looked at the Wei family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and sneered, "Did you hear that? My Bo'er has already sworn, what else do you have to say?"
Sister Wei's eyes widened, she gritted her teeth, and suddenly said, "Okay, let's go to the government office! We want to see how the government decides this case."
Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei looked at each other in bewilderment, for they had no evidence at all.
Mrs. Wei's eyes flashed with resentment and resentment, while Sister Wei's face was full of worry and helplessness. At this time, Tu Subo stood aside, his brows furrowed, his face full of confusion.
Mrs. Wei suddenly became emotional. She pointed at Tu Subo's face and said in a trembling voice, "Tu Subo, you killed my son. You deserve a horrible death! Look at you, you look so smug. Do you think no one knows what you did?"
Tu Subo frowned, trying to remain calm. He looked at Mrs. Wei and said calmly, "Mrs. Wei, what are you talking about? I have no grudge against your son, so why would I harm him? Do you have any evidence to prove that I did it?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Wei became even more furious. She slapped her chest and cried, "Evidence? Evidence! My son's body is right here, that's the evidence! Look at him, his arms are twisted, his body is covered in wounds. If it wasn't you who did it, who else could it be?"
Sister Wei looked at Tu Subo with hesitation in her eyes. She couldn't help but speak: "Tu Subo, you know, everyone in our village knows that you have a grudge against Wei Tianwen. Can you explain what happened last night?"
Tu Subo sighed. He looked at Sister Wei and said in a heavy tone, "Sister Wei, you misunderstood. Wei Tianwen and I did have a feud, but we have reconciled. I went to Tu Su's house last night and stayed there the whole time. I can find witnesses to prove my innocence."
