Great Lawyer

Chapter 481 Details of the case ([-])

The two children each have a pair of cotton shoes, a new pair and a semi-old pair, as well as Wang's own pair of black round-toe shoes, the heel of which is torn, and the other pair is Xu Tian's, which was washed very clean and a little bit off. Thin dust.

"The shoes Xu Tian was wearing at that time were in the yamen." Shan Dequan said.

Du Jiuyan nodded, and put back a few pairs of shoes.

"Is Xu Dali, who was drinking with him that night, here?" Du Jiuyan went out, squatted down on the edge of the door frame, and picked up a button from the ground. "

Du Jiuyan handed it to him and said, "It's the button on the collar of the middle coat worn by the deceased."

"Oh, yes, yes!" Shan Dequan put the buttons away, "I'll ask the village chief to call someone over."

As he spoke, he went out to order the village chief, and Xu Dali came after a while.

He is a dark, not tall but strong man, about the same age as Xu Tian, ​​about 30 years old.

Along with Xu Dali, there was He Feng, a litigator from Yanjing Litigation Firm.

He Feng was of medium height, very thin, and his eyes were narrow and narrow, giving him a feeling of being lonely and difficult to get along with.

"Mr. Du," He Feng cupped his hands, and said, "I heard that Kou Lizheng mentioned you often, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

Du Jiuyan returned the salute, "It's a pleasure to meet you!"

She said to Xu Dali, "Please tell me about the situation that night, everything in detail, please tell me in detail."

"Xu Tian came back to stay for a few days during the New Year's holidays all day long, and he was out doing things during the rest of the time. This time he came back to celebrate the New Year, and he will go out to do things again in a few days. Xu Dali said: "My relatives happened to leave the night before yesterday. I will invite him to my house for dinner. "

"Is he the only one invited?"

Xu Dali shook his head, "There's also Xu Chao. The three of us just sat around the stove to warm up the wine and played Pai Gow for a while. Those who don't play for money will be the ones who lose the most. Please drink tomorrow night."

"Then who has lost more?" Du Jiuyan asked.

"Xu Tian lost the most, and we still laughed at him, saying that whoever made him owe a beater deserved to lose."

Du Jiuyan nodded, "Go ahead."

"Drinking in the middle of the night, we got a little sleepy. Xu Tian said he was going to the latrine, and Xu Chao and I took a nap around the stove. When I woke up, I saw that Xu Tian hadn't come back yet."

"What time was it?" Du Jiuyan asked.

"I can't be sure that my house didn't miss the clock, but it must be in the middle of the night. I heard roosters crowing in the next village. It must be an ugly time."

"Are you drinking well? How much wine did you buy that night?"

Xu Dali said: "The three of us drink, and a two-and-a-half catty jar won't make you drunk. I brought out a jar that day, and there was still a big bowl left in it in the morning."

"That is to say, you are not drunk?"

Xu Dali shook his head, "Yes, I'm not drunk. We slept because we were sleepy. A few days ago, relatives came to drink and play cards every day, and we couldn't sleep at night."

"Understood." Du Jiuyan didn't ask any more questions, and went to Xu Dali's hut.

The hut is at the back corner of the main house, Xu Dali pointed to the place where the feet of the house are leeward of the wind, "Xu Tian said later that he squatted here and took a nap."

"It's very cold at night." Shan Dequan said, "I'm not drunk, no matter how sleepy I am, I won't be able to squat here and take a nap."

Du Jiuyan squatted in this place, looking around, "Did he say where the mud on the shoes was?"

Xu Dali's family conditions are good, he should also be a diligent person.Because the path from the main house to the latrine is paved with stones, the stone road is two feet wide, even if it is raining, it is impossible to step on the mud when going to the latrine.

"He said he didn't remember." Shan Dequan said: "But if he didn't go to other places, but just slept here, it is impossible for him to step on muddy water."

That was indeed the case, Du Jiuyan walked around for a while, then turned back.

Wang Han and Han Shi were waiting for her at the intersection, and seeing her cautiously asked, "Mr. Du, are you...will you accept our case?"

"Accept!" Du Jiuyan nodded.

Wang Han and Han immediately became happy, and Han took out a money bag from his arms with red eyes, "How much is the lawsuit?"

"I don't need to give it for now, I'll talk about it after the case is closed." Du Jiuyan said.

The old couple didn't understand the market either, so they listened to Du Jiuyan for everything.

"Mr. Du," He Feng was about to leave, "I'll see you in court."

Du Jiuyan nodded.

"Mr. He," Xu Liao chased after him, "Mr. He, my son definitely didn't kill anyone, you must help him get justice."

He Feng nodded, "I will try my best." He glanced at Du Jiuyan as he spoke, eager to try. The biggest challenge for him in this case was Du Jiuyan.

Mr. said, regardless of success or failure, it is a good experience for him.

Du Jiuyan squatted on the side of the road, looking at the two children, "Did your mother sleep with you the night before yesterday?"

"My mother doesn't sleep with us every night. She waits for us to fall asleep. She will go to the kitchen to cook porridge and put on shoe soles while cooking." Xu Tian's daughter said.

Seven or eight-year-old children already know many things.

"Then when did she fall asleep, don't you know?" Du Jiuyan asked, "Did you hear anything?"

The little girl nodded, "I heard a sound in the middle of the night. My father came back, grabbed my mother's hair, and slapped him across the face. The sound was so loud that I woke up in fright."

"And then?" Du Jiuyan asked.

There were quite a few people around, but none of them spoke, and looked at the little girl in surprise.

No one asked this question before, and it was the first time the little girl said it.

"Then my father dragged my mother by her hair and pulled her out." The little girl said.

"Of course...then my grandfather got up, cursed, and went to sleep again."

After the little girl finished speaking, she glanced at Xu Liao in fear, and Xu Liao scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about, your father didn't come back at night."

"I'm back." The little girl said, "I saw that he dragged my mother out, and my mother's head hit the door frame."

Du Jiuyan patted the little girl's head, then turned to look at Xu Liao, "If you don't report what you know, you will go to jail. When the class starts, you will be called to the class."

"I don't, I don't." Xu Lao's face turned pale, his eyes flickered.

He Feng frowned tightly, and said in a low voice, "She's only eight years old."

Du Jiuyan looked back at him, but instead of looking back at him, he looked at Shan Dequan.

"Go to my grandfather's house for a few days." Shan Dequan told Wang Han and his wife, "Take the child home and live there."

The eyes of the two children suddenly lit up, obviously they would rather go home with their grandparents than live at home.

"Okay, okay!" Wang Han said, "I'm worried about leaving the two babies here."

The old woman took the child and left.

"This is my grandson, you guys have to take the big girl away, and my grandson will keep it." Cai said.

Han didn't care, and left with the two, "The adults asked us to take them away, you can talk to the adults."

Du Jiuyan returned to the yamen and went to Diao Da with the file.

He just lay down on Diao Da's desk, copied some information, and added the information he found just now.

"This case is pretty clear, right?" Diao Da sat by and looked at Du Jiuyan, "It's much easier to investigate than the previous ones."

Du Jiuyan nodded, "Yes, the timeline of witness and material evidence is very clear, and it is easier to defend the case."

"Since you came to the capital, this is the easiest case to deal with one after another." Diao laughed loudly.

Du Jiuyan stopped and thought for a while, "It's true. Could it be that the murderer in the capital knows that I have excellent professional skills, so he came to challenge me specially."

Diao laughed loudly, "Speaking of which, Yanjing should not have accepted this lawsuit."

"It's their experience, arguing with me can improve their ability." Du Jiuyan said: "I'm very honored."

Diao laughed and said, "Those who are able do more work. You are also cultivating lawyers for the country."

"No one gave me a pennant or a plaque, let me be proud or something." Du Jiuyan packed up the files and returned to the dead man in the middle, "Is Zhang Manzi's mother buried? "

Diao Daying said, "Shan Butou said not to bury the Zhang family's ancestor's grave, presumably her mother is also unwilling to contact the men of the Zhang family."

"That's true." Du Jiuyan carefully looked at the wound of the deceased, recorded while reading, thought about it and checked the hair of the deceased, Diao Dao said: "I have checked, and there is no broken hair."

Du Jiuyan looked back at him, smiled lightly and said, "I've surprised you too."

"Yeah, probably in the future when I see any corpse, I will go to the hair first."

This has become a lifelong shadow.

The deceased had many injuries, old injuries and new ones superimposed, and the clothes were rather worn out, where the buttons on the collar were missing, and the energy core she had picked up.

"Did you just pick up this button?" Diao Da asked.

Du Jiuyan nodded, "It's on the threshold of Xu Tian's bedroom."

"It should have been pulled off when he was dragged out. After all, when the deceased was found, he was wearing a sleeping jacket."

Du Jiuyan nodded, stretched his waist, and said, "I'm going to write the complaint, and please ask Mr. Qi to set the opening time."

"I wish Mr. Du a successful start and success in no time."

Du Jiuyan smiled and nodded, pointing at the deceased, "I'll keep it for now until the case is over."

"Yes. It's cold, it's no problem to leave it for five or six days." Diao said.

Du Jiuyan nodded, went to Qi Daiqing to borrow pen and ink, wrote a complaint on the opposite side of his desk, and handed it in. He smiled and said, "My lord, what day can you make an appointment?"

Qi Daiqing flipped through the recent schedule, "The investigation of the case is almost done. If there is no special situation with the plaintiff, it will be the day after tomorrow."

Du Jiuyan should be.

"Wait." Qi Daiqing thought of something, and took a few copies from the file on the table, "Didn't you ask the Shibo Department and the county government to help find Da Zhuang?"

Du Jiuyan asked, "Any news?"

"No!" Qi Daiqing gave her seven reply letters, "I wrote back to several places in Jiangnan, Shandong and Baoding along the way, and they all said that they didn't see anyone suspected of being Dazhuang."

Du Jiuyan sighed, it was not easy to find someone, if Da Zhuang didn't enter the city, even if the government set up a card to check, he would be easy to find.

"Follow the fate." Du Jiuyan said, went to Zhuangcun, and invited the two elders of the Wang family to the government office.

Three days later, the second trial of Xu Tian's wife-killing case began.
