Great Lawyer

Chapter 75 Plaintiff and Defendant ([-])

According to the examinee's requirements, all the men in Liujia Village who were in the village at the time of the crime had arrived, ranging in age from fifteen to forty-five.

And according to those who have wives and those who have no wives, they stand on two sides separately.

Under the scorching sun, everyone was scorching hot and oily. Qiu Tingsheng wiped his sweat and gasped, "Why are there only four groups, and there are two more groups."

"They have already questioned the man and the plaintiff, and now they are going to open the coffin for an autopsy with the officials of the yamen," said the accompanying guard.

The speed was so fast, everyone's face changed, and someone shouted: "We haven't finished the investigation here, and they have already finished it. This is too fast. Are you taking care of the people in Southwest?"

"It was their request first, so we naturally meet their request." The guard said: "You are not as skilled as others, so don't talk nonsense."

Everyone was buzzing.

"Why are you arguing? If you feel slow, hurry up." Xue Ran, Liu Rongqin, and a group of seven or eight gentlemen or lawyers she didn't know came out of the car. Xue Ran frowned displeased, and said coldly: "Southwest never No matter who you favor, even the students of the prefectural school will be treated equally in the assessment."

"I think they are fast because they are solid and united. They have never been taken care of or cheated for convenience." Xue Ran said: "You say that is distrust and insult to Southwest. If you have such Thoughts, I advise him to stop here and not have to take the exam in Southwest."

As he spoke, no one dared to answer, and everyone listened with their hands down, in silence.

Du Jiuyan stood behind the crowd and looked at Xue Ran.

"Let's go, let's go, hurry up and ask!" The four groups of people didn't dare to complain any more, and walked towards the man in the village one after another. Du Jiuyan was the last one, still listening quietly to everyone's questions.

Escorted by guards, Tian and Niu also walked into the crowd.

"How old do you think the man's voice was when you heard it?" someone asked.

Niu replied: "I can't hear it clearly, but I feel like I'm in my 40s or [-]s."

"The ten-year-old boy is not."

"Didn't you get up again later, did you hear footsteps?"

Niu replied: "I heard it, and they were running towards the village."

"Why didn't you say that just now? Didn't you tell the government about this?"

Niu said: "I told the government everything I knew. You didn't ask me this morning, so I forgot to tell."

Even though he was the plaintiff, Niu was a little restless.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and indeed no one asked, but this point was not mentioned in the transcripts copied by the government.

Du Jiuyan raised his eyebrows, looked over the crowd, and looked at Xue Ran and the others.A group of people are chatting, and they seem to wait for the end of the inquiry here, and go to the direction of the autopsy together.

"She didn't move in the morning, and she didn't show off triumphantly?" Xue Ran looked at Du Jiuyan from the corner of his eye, and asked the book boy beside him.

The book boy replied: "Today, I didn't say a word that was unnecessary, and I didn't even ask a few questions. She doesn't fit in with the group. When everyone is asking, she just looks around and touches here and there."

"Keep staring at her, don't let her make trouble." Xue Rao said.

The book boy should be, quietly followed Du Jiuyan.

"Nine, just these nine people."

"Ten. Although this kid is young, his voice is very rough. It is impossible to think that he is only eighteen."

"Then ten, let Mrs. Tian come over."

A few people interrogate, you say what I say.But Du Jiuyan found a paper umbrella from Niu's house, and walked unsteadily towards the village.

Although it is a dirt road, it has a wide surface, and there is an old rut on the road.

There are paddy fields on both sides of the road, and rice is planted in the fields. When we walk to the entrance of the village, many women in the village look around cautiously at the entrance of the village, nervous and curious.

"Auntie, you can come over if you want to see and hear." Du Jiuyan walked into the group of women and old people and talked.

A chubby woman said, "I won't let you go. This is such a ruckus, our entire village will be reminded to be afraid."

"It has nothing to do with you, there is nothing to be afraid of." Du Jiuyan said with a smile.

The chubby aunt said: "The point is, Aunt Niu insisted that it was a man from the village who committed adultery with that slut from the Tian family. How could we know who the man was. Anyway, he is not my man. He knows how to work normally. Who are the women in the village? Whose it belongs to, he can't tell."

"My family's men are too. Besides, the Tian family doesn't come to the village, and stands at the intersection all day to make a fuss. I don't think he is a man in our village."

"They're all from the same clan, and Er Zhu is a nice guy. Who would dare to do such a shameful thing behind his back?"

When there are many women, they are noisier than men, but Du Jiuyan listens with gusto.

"Auntie, are these fields your own, or rented?"

"For rent, how can there be so many fields for sale to our common people now. Our Liujia Village and the Tianjia Village behind are all the farms of the Liao Family, and we pay them rent every autumn."

Zhuangzi of the Liao family, all the people in this village are tenants.

No wonder the village is so poor.

"Does anyone in your village have a donkey cart?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Everyone shook their heads without thinking, "A donkey is so expensive, we can't afford it. Besides, we can't even afford it, no!"

"That's it." Du Jiuyan said: "Aunt Niu said that she heard the footsteps, and the man was running to the village. It was almost dawn at that time, so you didn't see anyone who got up early, or someone came. In the village?"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, shaking their heads, "Aunt Niu asked, and people from the government also asked, but none of us saw it. What time is it?"

"It's about halfway through the hour." Someone answered the question.

Du Jiuyan nodded, bowed his hands at everyone, and continued to pace the village.There is a big tree at the entrance of the village, and there is a slope to the left, and there is nothing unusual about it.

"Thank you everyone, I'm leaving." Du Jiuyan greeted everyone, and everyone told her, "Brother, the government can't handle it well, so many of you can definitely do it. Try to close the case as soon as possible, and we can feel at ease."

Du Jiuyan should be, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and asked, "There are no cars in your village, so are the ruts on the road the cars that came in from the government?"

"No, the government comes either by sedan chair or horse. No one comes by car. Ordinary cars will not enter the village."

Du Jiuyan didn't ask any more questions, thanked him and went to Niu's house.

There was a book boy standing behind the crowd, watching her secretly. Du Jiuyan approached Miao Fu and the others and asked, "How is it? Has the scope narrowed?"

"Two people." Miao Fu glanced at her, and told her about the process unhappily. Du Jiuyan looked over and saw two men were pulled out alone. Among this huge team of men from Liujia Village, they are all considered top-notch.

The two were very excited and yelled: "We don't have one, don't accuse good people."

Tian was also crying, "You guys are really deceiving people too much. People like you are not worthy of being lawyers at all, and you are not even as good as a fast arrester."

The faces of everyone who scolded turned green and white.

Someone said: "Put the two suspects aside first before interrogation, let's go and see the coffin opened first."

Du Jiuyan sized up the two so-called suspects, frowning slightly.

A group of people marched to the cemetery behind Liujiacun Village.In the village, a woman who knew that her man had been designated as an adulterer and murderer wept loudly, and her curse words were even worse.

One was a mother who heard that the widower's son was being detained, she also sat under the tree wiping her nose and tears, saying that it was impossible, his son was only in his thirties because of his good eyesight, and he was not married, how could he like Tian's coquettish fox, And kill for her.

"It's all for nothing. There are so many people, and you can't even catch a murderer. What's the use of you. Pooh!"

"Just point it at your fingertips, so that anyone can be a lawyer."

"I don't think any of you can pass the exam."

Numerous examinees hurried through Liujia Village to the back mountain amidst scolding.

The back mountain is a dense forest, which is quite shady.Liu Erzhu's coffin had already been dug out. Zhou Yan and other two groups of 20 people were surrounding the coffin, watching the autopsy, and a smell of vinegar but still strong smell kept blowing with the wind.

Some people couldn't bear it, and crouched by the tree and retched.

"There is one more function, and it can even do what I do." Du Jiuyan has been a criminal lawyer for so many years, and this is really the first time he has seen an autopsy with his own eyes.

In the past, they were transferred to the autopsy report.

The experience and look and feel have been qualitatively improved and leaped forward.

"The limbs, cheeks, skull, and abdomen have no internal and external injuries, and there are no signs of poisoning!" Wu Zuo was impatient. This is the second time this corpse has been inspected. "This corpse does not show any signs of homicide."

The former county magistrate punished Zhengyi, and this person was a troublesome basket.This case was clearly a false accusation between women, so he just accepted it.

After you pick it up, you will go after the trial. Unexpectedly, the person was impeached and left before the case was completed.

And the case cannot be dismissed, which really hurts those who can't leave.

"That's not homicide, but a false accusation." Ma Yi said: "Without any evidence, even the cause of death cannot be found out. This case is clearly a false accusation."

As soon as he spoke, many people nodded.

"It's all confirmed?" Xue Ran appeared in front of everyone with his hands behind his back on this matter, "You can choose to defend the plaintiff and the defendant. No matter which side you choose, you can't go back on your word."

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, a little uncertain.

Outside the forest, Niu Shi, Tian Shi and the two suspects who were just selected all came to the scene.

In the woods more than ten steps away, the villagers of Liujia Village gathered to watch, curious about the situation of this kind of on-site defense examination.

Of course I would also like to know the result.

"My son..." Niu threw himself in front of Liu Erzhu's body, although his body was rotten and smelly, but Niu still lay on the side, crying loudly, "Son, what can mother do if you are gone. "

Mrs. Tian wiped away her tears, and knelt down before the crowd, "Mister Tian, ​​please beg all gentlemen, help the women get rid of their grievances, and let the husband rest in peace as soon as possible."

"The coffin will be opened for autopsy every now and then, and he will not be able to rest in peace under the Nine Springs."

Tian was young, she cried naturally and beautifully, and spoke with sincerity, everyone looked at her sympathetically.

"Sir, should the plaintiff be divided now?" Zhou Yan asked Xue Ran.

Xue Ran nodded, "We'll share it now." Then, someone moved two tables from the village, Xue Ran sat on the right, and Liu Rongqin sat opposite.

On the left is the plaintiff, on the opposite is the defendant.

"Scholars are really different. You can talk about learning in the cemetery." Some people in the village whispered, showing their respect for scholars.

Xue Ran coughed, and the bookboy said loudly, "Come here, choose the original defendant."

　I'm going to code words, my manuscript!abuse me!
