Becoming a lawyer starts with raising a Xiezhi

Chapter 207 He's Smart

After Zheng Yihong finished reading the indictment, the judge began to question the two defendants, what opinion did they have on the criminal facts charged in the indictment?
Wang Tiechui lowered his head, not knowing what to say.The judge asked him if he recognized the criminal facts charged in the indictment, and he raised his head and said yes.

It's enough to admit it. The judge asked Wu Liangxin again. Wu Liangxin raised his head and said proudly, "I didn't kill my wife."

Still refusing to plead guilty, the old couple trembled with anger when they saw it.

Seeing that he refused to plead guilty, the judge ignored him and said to the bailiff, "Take the first defendant out of court."

Wu Liangxin is the first defendant. It is said that if the public prosecutor conducts interrogation, the first defendant should be interrogated first. However, because the first defendant's attitude is extremely bad, the public prosecutor suggested that the second defendant should be interrogated first.

Wu Liangxin put on handcuffs again and was led away from the court.

Zheng Yihong began to question Wang Tiechui.

"Second defendant, is the statement you made to the investigative agency true?"

"true."

"Do you know Wu Liangxin, the first defendant?"

"know."

"How did you meet?"

"He and I were classmates in junior high school, and we have been in contact since then. We have a good relationship."

"What did you do on the night of September [-]th?"

"I killed someone."

"Who did you kill?"

"Wu Liangxin's wife."

"Why did you kill Wu Liangxin's wife?"

"Because Wu Liangxin asked me to kill his wife."

"Why did Wu Liangxin ask you to kill his wife?"

"He told me at the time that his wife treated him badly and wanted to divorce her, but she was inseparable, so he wanted me to kill her."

"Wu Liangxin wants to kill his wife, is there no other reason?"

"I don't know, he only told me about his relationship with his wife."

"Did you promise him then?"

"I didn't agree at first, and I advised him to make do with it. It's not easy for a woman to marry him, but he didn't listen, and then I asked me a few times before I agreed."

"Why did you agree?"

"He helped me before, and I was embarrassed to refuse. In addition, he promised to give me 10 yuan, and I agreed."

"Did you know that murder is a capital offense?"

Wang Tiechui lowered his head and said, "I know, but he keeps looking for me, so I agreed to him in a moment of confusion."

"How many times has he been looking for you?"

"Three times I think, but he never called me, just went to the garage to find me."

"He went to the repair shop to find you. How did you meet and discuss this matter?"

"After I'm done, we'll go eat and drink to discuss this matter."

"Why didn't he call you?"

"He said it was not good to make phone calls, and also asked me not to call him, saying that the police would find out in the future."

"Who prepared the tools for killing?"

"Wu Liangxin prepared it for me."

"How did you conspire for this matter before the incident?"

"He told me at the time that before the murder, he would leave the house specially. After he left, he would let me go to his house to commit crimes. He would call his wife and ask her to open the door for me. After I went in, Just do it. After killing someone, I wanted to pretend to be a thief, so I did so, but because I was too flustered at the time, I didn’t take anything when I left, and I made a mess at home, which looked like a theft. Like the scene."

"You tell the court what happened on the day of the incident."

"That afternoon, after I had dinner, I started preparing for this matter. The day before, Wu Liangxin made an appointment with me, and I would do it the next night. I was hesitant at the time, but Wu Liangxin had approached me many times, and I also I had no choice but to refuse, so I left home at around [-] o'clock that night and took a taxi to his community. His community is relatively old and has no monitoring equipment. Wu Liangxin told me this, so I went straight into it. In their community, they knocked on the door of his house around eleven o'clock, and his wife opened the door for me."

"Second defendant, what were you holding in your hand when you entered his house?"

"I was holding a package in my hand at the time, because Wu Liangxin told me before that he would tell his wife that someone would deliver something to the house, so I took a package with food in it, and after I killed someone, I put it back It was taken away. After his wife opened the door for me, I walked in, closed the door, and then went to put the things on the ground. At that time, her wife was unprepared, just asked me what was inside, and I responded , the moment she turned around, I strangled her with the steel wire rope I had prepared and strangled her to death. After strangling her, I hid her in the closet, and then at his house I rummaged around, created the illusion of being stolen, and then I ran away."

"How long did you stay in the victim's home?"

"I don't remember clearly, it feels like half an hour."

"Have you been to the victim's house before?"

"No."

"What is the layout of the victim's home?"

"I forgot, probably a two-bedroom house, the floor seems to be white."

"What happens after you kill someone?"

"I ran away after killing people, and went to work in the repair shop the next day."

"Has Wu Liangxin contacted you?"

"Wu Liangxin didn't contact me, and I didn't contact him either. But a few days later, I found an extra 10 yuan on my bank card, and I knew it was from him."

"Is this 10 yuan your reward for murder?"

"Yes, it was agreed before."

"How do you feel about this matter now?"

"I killed someone and committed a capital crime. I regret it very much now. I feel sorry for the victim's family. I am willing to plead guilty and obey the law."

At this point in the public prosecutor's questioning, he said: "Report to the presiding judge, the public prosecutor's interrogation is over."

After hearing this, the judge asked, "Does the victim's family have any questions to ask the second defendant?"

Meng Lang immediately raised his hand and said, "I want to ask a question."

The judge nodded in agreement.

Meng Lang looked at Wang Tiechui and asked, "Second defendant, you just said that Wu Liangxin killed her because of discord with his wife, and the victim didn't want to get a divorce. Did you believe his statement at the time?"

Hearing this, Wang Tiechui lowered his head and thought for a while, "That's what he said at the time, I didn't think much about it."

Meng Lang said: "You are an adult, would a man use this method to kill someone because his wife won't divorce? What else did Wu Liangxin tell you?"

Wang Tiechui looked up at him and said, "I didn't say anything else."

Meng Lang said: "Second defendant, I hope you can answer the lawyer's question truthfully. You just said that you have a good relationship with Wu Liangxin, but you still asked for 10 yuan from him. This shows that you still kill people for money, and It's not because of Wu Liangxin's kindness to you, under normal circumstances, do you think he would kill his wife for such a reason?"

Wang Tiechui bowed his head in silence, and said after a while: "He did not tell me anything else at the time, but I could feel from his words that he wanted to make a fortune in this way, and he was very eager. He has always been Very smart, I don't want to ask too much, just listen to him."
