Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Chapter 278 Let the judge decide!

It is known that on May 7th, the company provided information that Zhu Dali, a warehouse material handler, finished get off work at 5 PM and then used the half-hour time difference to murder the victim, Zhang Mushan.

but......

The problem is that the goods delivered that day will theoretically not be unloaded until at least 6 p.m.

However, Zhu Dali did not ask for leave, nor did he finish unloading in advance...

So.

In theory, he did not have the opportunity to commit the crime and has a very clear alibi.

and so.

In Lingshui County, Zhu Dali was working at a construction site when Zhang Mushan died, which means he couldn't have been at the scene of the crime. However, Zhang Mushan is indeed dead, so... there must be another murderer!

When this logic suddenly appeared in everyone's minds, it was as if a sharp turn had occurred.

The defendant's lawyer, Yan Mi, suddenly showed a hint of panic on his face for no apparent reason, and immediately sat up straight.

"Objection! Objection!"

"Your Honor, the prosecutor has violated regulations; he is maliciously misleading others!"

Yan Mi immediately protested loudly, standing up in an attempt to interrupt the entire trial.

"The above should not be adopted!"

Is this malicious misdirection?

No, this isn't malicious guidance; it's more like an unexpected inquiry.

for example.

When you ask a child if there was anyone at the murder scene, you should use specific descriptions, such as "did you see someone wearing red clothes" or "looked similar to suspect number xx" to guide them.

And what about someone like Xu De?

This is clearly a straightforward inquiry, but the person is first using the accusation of internal corruption within the company to mislead the other party and conceal their true intentions.

After figuring this out.

Ignoring the defendant's strong protests, everyone's eyes instead held a strange glint, their gazes gleaming as they stared at Sun Hu, seemingly lost in thought.

As for Sun Hu...

At this moment, Sun Hu was expressionless, but if you looked closely, you could see his clenched fists, which were so tight that his knuckles were white, and his taut cheeks.

On the judge's bench.

"Defendant, please be quiet!"

"It's not your turn to speak yet!"

Judge Zhao De, his voice filled with anger, suddenly lashed out at Yan Mi.

Yan Mi opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word. She could only take a deep breath and force herself to sit down, but she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

Presiding Judge Zhao De looked at the civil litigation representative, took a deep breath, and began to speak:

"Please continue, prosecutors."

"Okay, thank you for your understanding, court."

In the proxy seat, Xu De nodded, then ignored Yan Mi's murderous eyes and instead focused his gaze on the other side, where... Sun Hu was.

He stood up, stared at the other person, and slowly said:

"General Manager Sun... or rather, the defendant Sun Hu."

"I would like to ask you a few questions about this case."

"Regarding the information provided to the police by the civil engineering company on May 7th, why does the actual information differ from what the defendant, Zhu Dali, stated?"

Upon hearing this...

All eyes suddenly focused on the defendant's seat.

Feeling countless piercing gazes, Sun Hu's heart pounded faster and faster. In a daze, a surge of anger welled up in his heart. He gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with gloom as he looked at the other person, and a low growl came from his throat.

"This matter...is the responsibility of the warehouse manager..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu De smiled faintly and kindly reminded him:

"Defendant Sun Hu, please investigate carefully before giving your answer."

"The court may adjourn for ten minutes at any time to contact the police outside the courtroom to verify the information you have provided."

Trying to shift the blame to the warehouse manager?

When neither party can collude, the police outside the scene can easily uncover the truth!

"you!"

Enraged, Sun Hu suddenly tightened his grip on the handcuffs, making the chains taut. He stared at the other man, his breathing growing heavier.

Xu De spoke again, "Please answer my question."

"Why were the information submitted by the company seriously inconsistent with the actual situation in the early stages of the Mushan case?"

"And if the killer wasn't Zhu Dali... then who could it be?"

"First of all, this person must be someone in a high position of power on the construction site."

"Only in this way can we quickly find out that Zhang Mushan has money, can get Zhu Dali to die in his place, that the company submitted false information, and that they have a grudge against him!"

"Who is this person?"

Two questions.

But it can also be seen as a question, namely... who were the people who appeared at the crime scene and surrounded the victim at 5:30 pm on May 7th!

Hear this.

Everyone held their breath, afraid that their breathing might disturb the proceedings, and all eyes were fixed on Sun Hu, waiting for him to speak.

As for the answer...

No.

Sun Hu had nothing to say!

He simply sat in his seat, burning with anger, staring coldly at Xu De.

He was furious and angry.

Sun Hu couldn't understand why such an elite lawyer would choose to help that idiot Zhang Mushan. He was an idiot!

He's just a fool who doesn't even want his own parents, throwing them in the trash, and was raised by a maggot from the bottom of society.

Why should I go to such lengths for the other person?!

There's also Zhang Xiuning.

Zhang Xiuning is dead, the person who originally entrusted this case is dead, and the case has nothing to do with the other party, so why insist on fighting to the death with me?

Need money? Zhang Xiuning had no money. The other party was just a poor man fighting with wild dogs for food; he couldn't give Xu De much money.

Need a name?

"The Case of Kiyama" was completely unknown from the start!

Sun Hu just couldn't understand it. So many people in this world kill, why did he have to fight to the death with him?!

As he thought to himself, his eyes gradually became bloodshot, and his fists clenched tightly, like two blocks of iron.

Their eyes seemed to want to devour each other.

He didn't speak.

"Okay, Mr. Sun, I think I understand your attitude."

Xu De nodded, completely ignoring the other party's attitude.

He placed his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and suddenly uttered another name.

"Wang Zhou!"

A strange name was uttered.

In the defendant's seat.

When a man was called out, he suddenly trembled and his face showed a hint of panic. When he looked up, he saw Xu De staring at him with a furrowed brow. He immediately felt a chill and instinctively lowered his head.

Judging from the extent of the erased traces at the crime scene, Xu De concluded that Sun Hu was not the only murderer.

Coincidentally, Wang Zhou and Zhao Ershan were also the people who killed Huang Chengwei and reporter Wang Han. Therefore, it is not difficult to guess who the other people present at the crime scene were.

At this moment, Xu De said:

"You are the foreman of the construction team on the construction site, one of the company's shareholders, and you are acquainted with Sun Hu."

"What were you and Sun Hu doing on the day of the incident, May 7th?!"

Suddenly, it got dragged into my own life.

Wang Zhou's thoughts were in turmoil, his eyes darted around, and his heart was pounding faster and faster.

"I...I don't know..." He slumped his head, looking like he was about to cry.

All three defendants possessed exceptional mental fortitude, including Zhu Dali.

But... Sun Hu's difficulty in getting him to talk stems from his personality, while Zhu Dali is a living dead man, so there's no need to be afraid of him.

On the contrary, Wang Zhou and Zhao Ershan...

To be honest, the two men gave a general outline of the affair between supervisor Huang Chengwei and reporter Wang Han the moment they were arrested. The rest were only known to Sun Hu himself.

"have no idea?"

"How could you not know?!"

Xu De shook his head, giving the other party no chance to refute him, and said as if he were talking to himself:

"Since you won't tell me, then I will."

"first."

"In this case, the real culprit is not Zhu Dali, but the owner of [Hongyang Civil Engineering Construction Company], the defendant Sun Hu!"

talking.

He shifted his gaze, meeting Sun Hu's eyes that seemed to want to devour him, and slowly continued speaking.

"In May, the victim, Zhang Mushan, went to the company to collect a debt."

"However, the company is currently in a tight cash flow situation and cannot pay extra salaries...or rather, it is afraid that if Zhang Mushan succeeds, the other workers will also come to collect their debts. Of course, it is also possible that you never intended to pay a fool's salary in the first place."

"In short, even if this company can make you embezzle 100,000, it can also make you transfer millions of project funds."

"However, Zhang Mushan simply couldn't come up with the meager wages of just over a thousand yuan."

The moment the words were spoken.

It seems like half of what was said was true.

In the defendant's seat, Wang Zhou and Zhao Ershan showed signs of panic, while Sun Hu grew increasingly angry.

In the audience, the faces of those listening were subtly grim.

Hearing that...

It's very jarring.

It's hard to understand why the other party is unwilling to send the money, even though a single bottle of wine costs more than a thousand yuan.

In fact, Sun Hu was only willing to pay the money after the matter escalated.

look.

When a strike at the construction site affected the construction progress, even though Sun Hu was in detention, he immediately transferred several million from his private account.

He's rich, very rich; even his dog eats better than Zhang Mushan.

but......

He simply refused to give it, even though that thousand-odd yuan was a drop in the ocean for them, he wouldn't even take that one cent.

"but!"

"Zhang Mushan kept asking, once, twice, three times, four times!"

"However, we still couldn't get that thousand dollars back until May 7th."

Xu De's eyes narrowed, as if he could see through people's hearts and see Wang Zhou's underwear right in the center of the trial area.

"On May 7th, because the number of times they asked for payment was too high, the other people on the construction site also started to have designs on the money."

"so......"

"You guys are annoying."

"Sun Hu, Wang Zhou, and Zhao Ershan, you three might as well kill the man and contact someone beforehand to take the blame."

"Ultimately, at 5:30 PM on the 7th, the victim, Zhang Mushan, was brutally crushed to death on his way home after buying medicine..."

"Is what I said above true?"

Is this true?

Wang Zhou didn't speak. His forehead was covered in cold sweat. He racked his brains but couldn't find a suitable answer. His breathing became more and more rapid and his fists clenched tighter.

See here.

aside.

The prosecutor, Zhao Qian, who had remained silent all along, suddenly spoke up, as if struck by a sudden thought:

"The defendant is Wang Zhou."

"According to the forensic examination of the body, there was only one person who attacked the victim, and there were no others who controlled or restrained you."

"If there were other people present at the scene of the crime, then...their responsibility would be minimal."

"But... Huang Chengwei and Wang Han, you participated as an accomplice."

Huang Chengwei and Wang Han died; the former was the one who directly committed the crime, while the latter was the one who devised the plan.

In both cases, they were accomplices, just not the masterminds. If they were to be sentenced, a suspended death sentence would be the minimum.

What if we add another case? Should we reveal the Kiyama case?

Whether you say it or not is actually irrelevant.

In criminal cases, the most serious crime is usually chosen for punishment. For example, if someone commits both intentional homicide and intentional injury, one might be sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve and the other to life imprisonment. You can't just combine the two and give them the death penalty, can you?

There is no such provision; the sentence will simply be a suspended death sentence for intentional homicide, while life imprisonment for intentional injury will be largely ignored.

The same reason.

Given the profound implications of the first two cases, while the Kiyama case had little connection to the case...

Even if the Mushan case is exposed, it will have very little impact on Wang Zhou.

but!

"Let me remind you."

According to Article 68 of the Criminal Law, "Those who perform meritorious service in investigation, prosecution, first instance, and second instance shall be given lenient punishment."

The original text explicitly states: "If a criminal exposes the criminal behavior of others, and the facts are verified, or provides important clues that lead to the solving of other cases, he/she may be given a lighter or reduced punishment."

Prosecutor Zhao Qian began slowly, then paused slightly before continuing:

"Those who make significant contributions may have their punishment reduced or waived!"

"Defendant Wang Zhou...you should think this through."

The words were spoken.

In an instant.

The entire trial area suddenly fell into a strange state.

Wang Zhou's breathing was rapid and deep. He gritted his teeth, and cold sweat poured down his forehead as he pondered deeply.

If I mention the Kiyama case... then theoretically I could get a reduced sentence.

However... if I tell him, Sun Hu will definitely get a heavy sentence!

But then a problem arose.

Even if I don't speak up, the authorities will still find out and the other party will still die. After all, what the lawyer said was almost entirely true, and I've even lost a chance for a "meritorious service" sentence reduction...

So... should I tell you or not?

Just as Wang Zhou was deep in thought and extremely conflicted.

In a daze.

A voice suddenly rang out from beside him.

"explain!"

"I said!!!"

That sound...

Wang Zhou was taken aback. He hadn't said anything. Then his body stiffened, and he slowly looked to his side at Zhao Ershan, who was thin and had a bluish stubble.

However, Zhao Ershan, for some reason, seemed to be in a more mentally unstable state than his "person in charge," and even spoke first.

And what he said...

Zhao Ershan broke down and said:

"I didn't kill him...it was Sun Hu. He said he wanted to teach the other person a lesson. I never expected him to kill someone...It has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me!"

The moment those words were spoken.

The entire First Courtroom fell silent. Wang Zhou's pupils suddenly contracted, and Sun Hu's face turned ashen.

The defendant's seat.

Yan Mi sighed and slumped weakly into the chair.

Everyone in the audience looked completely bewildered.

As for the civil litigation agent's seat...

"Heh."

Xu De smiled.

The Prisoner's Dilemma...it's still pretty useful!

"Your Honor, at this point in the case, I think..."

"There's no need for further proceedings. Judge, please make your decision!"
