Great Lawyer

Chapter 259 Come and Debate (Part [-])

"Lu Shouzheng!" Du Jiuyan pointed at Lu Shouzheng, and kicked him. Lu Shouzheng didn't dare to reply, so she obediently kicked him, "I'm an old acquaintance."

"Last year, entrusted by the petitioner, I helped investigate a silver theft case, and the thief who was investigated was exactly this kid."

"His birthday was in June, the 15th of last year, and he is still two and a half months away from [-]!" Du Jiuyan said: "Just such a teenage boy, but he has a lot of bad deeds. Everyone hates him when he is mentioned in Shaoyang."

"There is no shop in Shaoyang that he hasn't stolen before." Du Jiuyan said, looked at Lu Shouzheng, and asked, "Let me ask you, since you can remember, do you remember how many times you have stolen?"

Lu Shou was hanging his head, and said in a low voice: "No, I don't remember."

"He doesn't remember, but I can roughly find out that his family and parents have redeemed him from the Yamen [-] times in the past few years. Almost twice a year."

"He is just an uneducated child, and everyone hates him for shouting and beating him!" Du Jiuyan said.

Outside the yamen, everyone nodded yes, Lu Shouzheng is really disgusting, there is no good thing at a young age, and everything related to him is bad.

Eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, there is nothing he doesn't like.

"I asked his father about this, and he once said that when Lu Shouzheng was three years old, he was playing outside and stole a pear from a small vendor. His father lifted him up high and praised him for being smart and capable!"

"From then on, Lu Shouzheng would be praised by his family every time he stole something back home. When he was seven years old, the family realized the problem, but it was too late, and the bad habit is hard to change! So please, everyone here, When raising children, remember that money, horses, food, and grass are nothing but external objects, and a child's conduct is the foundation and amulet of his life!" Du Jiuyan said with a smile.

Outside the door, someone responded: "Mr. Du, we will remember what you said."

"Take Lu Shouzheng as a lesson, remember to remember!" After Du Jiuyan finished speaking, Xue Ran interrupted her, saying: "Du Jiuyan, this is not an academy desk, and you are wasting the time of adults and all of us by saying this. .”

Du Jiuyan cupped his hands and said, "Du don't talk nonsense, Mr. Xue don't be impatient!"

Xue Ran was about to speak coldly, but Du Jiuyan had already continued speaking.

"It's just such a boy. On the night of the fourth day of March, he woke up and couldn't sleep anymore. He had nothing to do and wandered around the streets like before. What would he do normally?" Du Jiuyan looked at Lu Shouzheng, "In the past What do you do every time you do this?"

"Or go to gamble, or go to the red building, if I don't have money, I will... I will steal things." Lu Shouzheng said.

Du Jiuyan nodded and said: "Stealing things! This thief, he wandered around from Lufu to Shao'an Street, and went under Deqing Building. At this moment, Fan Li from Qingshan Academy is entertaining his classmates for a wedding."

"Lu Shouzheng, who was kicked out by Qingshan Academy, didn't notice. He walked aimlessly to Biji's grocery store, and found that the door of the grocery store was not closed, so he sneaked into the grocery store!"

"Bi Jianxiong, how much money did the grocery store lose that night?" Du Jiuyan said.

Bi Jianxiong said: "Six taels!"

"Lu Shouzheng, did you steal the money?"

Lu Shouzheng nodded, "Steal, I stole six taels."

"But this night was special. After he stole the money, he thought of the backyard of his house, the beauty who was very famous in Shaoyang, and the embarrassing story that he wanted to propose a marriage but was frightened away by the high betrothal gift from the Bi family. .”

"He turned back and closed the door of the grocery store."

"He pushed open the attic door, went up to the second floor, and opened the victim's room." Du Jiuyan said: "As a habitual thief, he is already familiar with both unlocking and pushing the bolt."

"The victim was sleeping, and he went up to molested and wanted something wrong. The victim woke up screaming, he covered the victim's mouth and a piece of flesh was bitten off by her."

"Lu Shou was in a panic and hit the victim's forehead with a jade pillow on the head of the bed. The victim fainted after scolding him."

"Lu Shouzheng was scared. He left the room and almost fell down because he was startled by the cat. He held on to the handrail of the stairs, leaving bloody handprints."

Du Jiuyan cupped his hands and said, "My lord, therefore, my petitioner committed two crimes that night, one is the crime of theft, and the other is obscenity and intent to rape and injure others after being resisted."

"These two crimes are enough to sentence him to hang in prison. Please don't show mercy, my lord."

After Du Jiuyan finished speaking, he cupped his hands slightly and backed away.

"Understood!" King Gui nodded.

Lu Shou was stunned, but then understood something, and lowered his head to wipe his tears.

Outside the door, Lu Liyun scolded Wang, saying: "If you cry again, I will divorce you, shut up!"

"My lord, what... what can I do about this?" Wang cried.

Lu Liyun said angrily, "Compared with beheading, which one is heavier?"

Wang's crying stopped abruptly, and she murmured looking inside and couldn't speak.

Standing beside them were the family members of Wu Junfeng and Wei Zhengan. The three families looked at each other with anger and moved away one after another.

Inside the door, Xue Ran began to speak, "My lord, the evidence at the scene and the evidence provided by the plaintiff just now can indeed prove that my petitioner has arrived at the scene of the crime, but it cannot prove that the two of them committed rape and murder. "

"Wei Zheng'an, you recruited the truth, what did the two of you do that night?" Xue Ran asked.

Wei Zhengan changed his words calmly, and replied: "That night, the two of us saw Lu Shouzheng passing by upstairs in Deqing Building, and wanted to catch up with him, so we climbed over the wall and walked down the alley. He entered Bi Ji's grocery store, and we followed him into the small room next to the room where the incident occurred in a moment of panic. We heard him arguing with the victim. After he left, we sneaked into the room and found that he had killed someone. In panic, we Tested the victim's breath, and even tried to move her to rescue her, but it didn't work."

"At this point, the two of us started to get scared. When we went downstairs, we took a rag to wipe our footprints clean."

"We didn't think much about it at the time, but now that we think about it, we really regret it." Wei Zhengan kowtowed.

After he finished speaking, Du Jiuyan chuckled lightly and said, "You got kicked in the teeth just now, and you forgot in a blink of an eye?"

"No, when we were moving the victim, she thought we were accomplices, so she bit Junfeng." Wei Zhengan said.

Du Jiuyan raised his eyebrows, "You didn't die immediately after being stabbed in the chest, how could you hold your breath and jump up and bite Wu Junfeng's arm?"

"Wei Zheng'an, do you think what you said is credible?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Wei Zheng'an looked calm, and replied blankly: "If Mr. Du doesn't believe it, you can overthrow me with evidence."

"Ha!" Du Jiuyan looked at Xue Ran, "It's like an exam, just make up a reason and let me overturn it. Remember, I'll overturn it later!"

She said, staggering back.

Xue Ran looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "The facts are like this. When my petitioner entered the crime scene, the victim had already been killed by Lu Shouzheng. They entered the scene purely out of curiosity."

"So, I think that if my two petitioners are guilty, it is just a second crime of not reporting what they know and entering someone's house at night. Please be discerning, my lord!"

After Xue Ran finished speaking, he folded his hands and backed away.

"Mr. Xue believes that Lu Shou is the murderer?" Du Jiuyan said.

Xue Ran said expressionlessly: "That's natural. My petitioner made it very clear that when they entered the scene of the crime, the victim was already dying. Besides Lu Shouzheng, who else could it be?"

Du Jiuyan smiled, and his heart would not die until the Yellow River.Xue Ran's technique is also special, he retreats while walking, you retreat and he advances, you advance and he retreats, so you can't figure out where his bottom line is.

"In that case, let's pass witnesses." Du Jiuyan cupped his hands and said to King Gui, "My lord, I want to pass witnesses!"

"Broadcast!" King Gui said.

Xue Ran was slightly taken aback, he didn't know this witness.

Han Shi was taken to the next door, Du Jiuyan asked: "Han Shi, tell me about the voice you heard after you were woken up that night."

"Yes!" Han Shi said, "I was asleep that night, but my baby woke up later, and I was about to nurse when I suddenly heard screams from upstairs."

"I thought it was the eldest lady having a nightmare, so I didn't care, and coaxed the baby. But after a while, I heard another bang."

"I was so scared that I woke up completely and wanted to go out to see, but the baby would cry as soon as I left, so I sneaked out with him in my arms. At this moment, the baby suddenly started crying. I was terrified and clutched his chest mouth."

"Then, I saw a man escape through the crack of the door. I... I thought it was all right, and I was about to go upstairs to see the eldest lady, when suddenly I heard footsteps and fighting sounds from upstairs, and someone speaking voice."

"It's not loud, but I heard everything rustling. I was afraid that those people would come to me, so I ran to bolt the door and hid in the room with the baby in my arms."

Du Jiuyan asked, "How long has it been since someone from upstairs knocked on your door?"

"At least a quarter of an hour, because it was almost midnight when they left," Han said.

Du Jiuyan nodded, and said: "Then, when Lu Shou was leaving, the people upstairs came down and knocked on Mrs. Han's door. It took more than a quarter of an hour, what happened?"

Du Jiuyan looked at Wei Zhengan, "What happened? If you don't tell me, then I'll work harder."

"Give me the bloody coat!" Du Jiuyan said.
