Great Lawyer

Chapter 564 On the court ([-])

In the Hou Yamen, the Empress Dowager, King Gui, and Jingninghou's family were all there. After a while, Mrs. Lu came in accompanied by Da Bai Ya, who was clamoring to come to hear the lawsuit.

Everyone saluted again.

"Shhh!" King Gui interrupted everyone's voice, "I'm here to hear the lawsuit, and I'll talk after it's over."

The queen mother glared at her son. With so many elders around, he didn't care about his face at all.

In the front hall, Du Jiuyan's voice came.

"Everyone," Du Jiuyan cupped his hands in salute, and then cupped his hands outside, saying, "Three years ago, some children were playing around and found a headless male corpse in the abandoned well in Aozi Lane."

"Three years later, Cui Qiao couldn't bear the torment and fear day and night, and came to Dali Temple to surrender."

"So far, the truth about the case of a headless male corpse that has been suppressed for three years has come to light. The identity of the deceased has been announced. He is a monk from Runing who came to Zhongshan Temple to study and communicate. His Dharma name is Huitong."

Shen Daoru is in charge of the lawsuit today, so he brought his students to stand opposite Du Jiuyan.

He hasn't had a principal lawsuit for many years.

As for Du Jiuyan, she really shouldn't be underestimated. She was able to walk all the way here and stand opposite him, it was definitely not just luck and chance.

She is powerful.

But in this case, it's hard to say who will win the battle.

"Cui Qiao has already confessed to the murder. As for the motive and why..." Du Jiuyan paused. They are the three monks of Zhongshan Temple.

Xuanwu and his two direct disciples are the three oldest and most powerful people in Zhongshan Temple.

"Everything has a cause to have an effect. It is because of this reason that Cui Qiao is the one who kills people. Therefore, following Cui Qiao's motives and coincidences, he found Zhongshan Temple."

"Two cases merged into one case, let's talk about the cause first."

Du Jiuyan paused, Shen Daoru interrupted her, and said: "Mr. Du's words are wrong. There is nothing wrong with everything having a cause, but in the law, the cause is just the cause, and the effect is what determines whether a person has committed a crime. The important point is how to judge the sentence."

"If you're only looking for the cause, are you planning to use sensationalism to justify Cui Qiao's crime of murder?"

"The law is the law, and has nothing to do with love. Anyone can give her sympathy and help in any place, but only in court. Here, I can only talk about the law!" Shen Daoru cupped his hands and said: "So, I suggest that if you want to Trial the case of Cui Qiao's murder first, so you can't look for it and give up the result. Since the two cases are being tried concurrently, the order of priority must be established."

Qian Yu nodded slightly. What Shen Daoru said was reasonable. He looked at Du Jiuyan, "What do you think?"

Aggressive!Du Jiuyan cupped his hands with a smile, and said, "Students have no objections, then..." She turned her head to look at Shen Daoru, "Let's put Cui Qiao's case aside and try Zhongshan Temple's case first."

Outside, someone whispered: "Shen Daoru is not easy. He has to take the initiative when he comes up, interrupt Mr. Du, and force him to discuss Zhongshan Temple first and then interrogate Cui Qiao."

"Yes, although there is no difference, Shen Daoru won in terms of momentum. If you are an ordinary litigator, you must be nervous."

The purpose is to deter the opponent.

In court, apart from personal ability, momentum is also very important.

Shen Daoru gave Du Jiuyan a blow from the very beginning.

"It's okay, Mr. Du is not a small litigator, she will definitely not be afraid."

Everyone nodded and looked inside.

"Then let's try Zhongshan Temple first." Qian Yu and Du Jiuyan said, "It's still you who should speak first."

Shen Daoru sneered in his heart. The reason for this case is that the plaintiff is not easy to argue because the matter of sending Zitang cannot be brought up now... In fact, even if it is brought up, Du Jiuyan has no way to prove anything.

The only thing that can be caught now is the corpses in the ten Buddha statues.

It depends on how Du Jiuyan sues.

"Just now, the reason why I mentioned Zhongshan Temple from Cui Qiao is that the key is that the person she killed was a monk from Zhongshan Temple. When I accepted Master Qian's invitation to investigate the case, I deduced that, The head of the deceased was cut off, which means that the head of the deceased can reveal many identities."

"So, we went to Zhongshan Temple to ask questions!" Du Jiuyan stopped in front of Xuanwu, "Master Xuanwu, do you still remember how I asked you and answered?"

Xuanwu glanced at Du Jiuyan, his eyes were fierce, but his face showed the compassion of a monk, "Benefactor Du asked if there were any monks who were left-handed and had erythema birthmarks on their buttocks."

"The old monk asked someone to check. After verification, it was confirmed that there is no one."

Old bald donkey, you can pretend!Du Jiuyan nodded, and said: "Yes, it was indeed the case at that time." She changed the topic sharply, "But only one day later, when Cui Qiao pleaded guilty, the people in the yamen went to investigate, and you made it very clear I remembered."

"This, why?"

Xuanwu replied: "Because the guard who went to investigate the next day accurately reported the deceased's dharma name."

"Huitong?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Xuanwu nodded, "Yes, the murderer Cui Qiao knew Huitong, so he would naturally give the dead man's dharma name. After having the dharma name, my apprentices will naturally know each other."

"Wrong!" Du Jiuyan took a piece of paper from today's assistant Qian Daoan, "I'm quite busy these days, what are you busy with?"

"Busy to count the name of Huitong."

She shook out a piece of paper and showed it to everyone, "As we all know, the ranking of monks' dharma names in Dazhou is based on 72 characters in terms of seniority. Hui is a seniority, and Tong is the real name of the deceased."

"With such a fixed seniority, there must be duplicate names, so to what extent does Huitong have duplicate names?"

"Fahua Temple, since its opening, there have been two monks named Huitong, one is a monk from this temple, and the other is a monk who came to study from another temple."

"In the Niangniang Temple, there is also a Master Huitong."

"As for Zhongshan Temple, there is a small temple and frequent visits to temples in various places, so the monks in their temple are very mobile, and the monk named Huitong has three Master Huitong from various places in the past three years!"

Du Jiuyan looked at Xuanwu again, "Then, how did you quickly select the deceased among the three masters of Huitong?"

"Amitabha, we didn't know it at first, but after mentioning the name and characteristics, we naturally matched."

Du Jiuyan shook his head, "There is a birthmark on the buttocks. If you see such a hidden place, you will naturally remember it. Since you can't remember it, there is no way you can remember his face by thinking of a popular name."

"Why do you remember?" Du Jiuyan raised his eyebrows and said, "Because you all knew when Huitong disappeared and was killed!"

Xuan Wu was taken aback, shook his head and said: "No, how could we know. We all thought he left Zhongshan Temple."

Shen Daoru was also startled, Du Jiuyan actually argued from this point, which surprised him.

"Mr. Du, this kind of thing is just your speculation. We have no right to stop your speculation, but you can't use your guessed point of view to interrogate and force my petitioner to admit it." Shen Daoru took a step forward and said forcefully. .

Du Jiuyan waved his hand, "This is not an opinion, it is a fact. Whether he admits it or not is the case."

"Facts are based on evidence, not what you can say and emphasize." Shen Daoru said.

Du Jiuyan smiled, "Then let me present the facts." Then she took out a piece of paper, "This Master Huitong is not the deceased."

The name and experience of another Huitong are listed on the paper.

"This master Huitong is from Dengzhou. Three years ago, he came to Zhongshan Temple for exchange and study for four days. During these four days, he did three things. First, he fought with others in the temple. Second, He smashed the Zhaitang of Zhongshan Temple, and thirdly, he knocked down the censer of the treasure hall!"

"After doing this, he left angrily and never came back."

"So far, this master has been the most violent and bad-tempered monk in Zhongshan Temple. If the memory of the monks in Zhongshan Temple has not declined, and people are not stupid, it is impossible for him to die in just three years. Forgot about such a hot-tempered Huitong."

"But why, when we went to inquire, they denied that they didn't know. After Cui Qiao pleaded guilty the next day, the government went to confirm, but they immediately confirmed that it was the deceased, not this Huitong."

"When people remember each other, they usually remember from events. This Huitong naturally remembers more than the other two."

"So," Du Jiuyan looked at Shen Daoru and said, "I just said that they knew from the beginning that the deceased Huitong was killed by Cui Qiao."

In the back hall, Marquis Jingning nodded and said: "That's true. When people who are not close to recall a person, the first thing that comes to mind is the person's characteristics and what he has done."

"This is easier to remember." The Queen Mother agreed.

"Yes, I always remember my sister wiped my nose when I was young. I don't remember what my sister looks like, but I remember she wiped my nose and called me naughty." Lu Nianzong said with a smile.

Everyone laughed, and Mrs. Lu said helplessly, "I made everyone laugh."

Everyone knows that although Lu Nianzong is in his twenties, he is still a child in his head, so he doesn't mind.

Shen Daoru wanted to object, but before he could speak, Du Jiuyan had already looked at Xuanwu, "Master Xuanwu, do I make sense?"

"All right." Du Jiuyan didn't wait for him to speak, and continued, "Since they know that the monk in this monastery was killed, why didn't they report to the officials and deny the body?"

"There is only one reason, because they have a guilty conscience!"

The audience outside the door nodded.There must be something wrong if you don't go to identify the body even though you know your fellow disciple has been killed.

"Why are they guilty? What are they afraid of?" Du Jiuyan walked around twice with his hands behind his back. "What they are afraid of is that at this moment, the government will follow Huitong's death and find out about the mess in Zhongshan Temple."

Du Jiuyan said loudly: "In a centuries-old temple, countless believers offer incense to you. The imperial court allocates funds to support you every year. It's not for you to hide in the temple, drink and eat meat, and become a flower monk!"

"You are like this, are you worthy of your believers, worthy of the court that supports you?!
