Chapter 393 Fingerprints on the Knife
Meng Lang continued to ask, "Why did you report Xu Zuodong?"

Zheng Haofeng said: "Because of Xu Zuodong's corruption, we went to the Commission for Discipline Inspection to report him, let him know, and his son brought people to beat us."

"Did the police deal with it after the beating?"

"No. At that time we called the police, and the police came, but we couldn't find Xu Qiang. We went to the police station to ask, but the people at the police station said that they couldn't find Xu Qiang, and the case couldn't be handled."

"Why can't I find Xu Qiang?"

"I don't know. But at that time, the village committee issued a certificate to the police station, saying that Xu Qiang was away on a business trip and was not at home."

"What does it mean that Xu Qiang is not at home on a business trip?"

"I don't know. The police station returned the certificate to us."

"You mean the certificate issued by your village committee to the police station?"

"Yes."

"Xu Zuodong is the secretary of the village, and the village committee issued a certificate to the police station?"

"Yeah, we don't know what's going on either."

"Presiding Judge, I want to ask the victim's family a word." Meng Lang suddenly asked the judge when he asked here.

When he said this, the members of the Xu family in the auditorium became agitated again, because Meng Lang's question was too sharp, which was obviously not good for them.

The judge saw that the people in the gallery started to get restless again, and hurriedly knocked on the gavel again to give a warning.

After the court fell silent, the judge said: "Defense lawyer, if you have any questions, wait until the end of questioning to ask the victim's family."

After hearing this, meng lang agreed.

He continued to ask Zheng Haofeng: "You mean, Xu Qiang suddenly appeared when the police didn't find him, and then went to your house, right?"

"Yes, my wife was not discharged from the hospital at that time, and we didn't expect him to appear suddenly. I think it may be because my wife has not been discharged from the hospital. He couldn't sit still, so he came to see us."

"After he came to your house, how did you deal with this matter?"

"After he came, he pointed at me and cursed, you horse-drawn coins, you are trying to kill me, be honest with me in the future, or I will kill you, and said some other cruel words."

"How did you react after he finished speaking harshly?"

"My son was very angry when he heard that, so he started to scold him. I just stood by and didn't say a word, because Xu Qiang was about the same age as my son, so I couldn't quarrel with him. Woke up, my son couldn't beat him, so he was beaten away."

"How many of them beat your son?"

"Three people, but mainly Xu Qiang is fighting, and the other two are helping."

"Where did your son get beaten?"

"He went outside and ran away."

"What were you doing?"

"I was standing on the sidelines at the time, unable to intervene at all, so I called my wife and told him something had happened at home, and then my wife asked me to call the police, and I called the police at that time. Just after the report, Xu Qiang and the three They came back again and beat me when I entered the house. I was in a hurry, so I fought with them. Xu Qiang held a knife in his hand and gestured at me. I held a stick to keep them away, but they three One person, one person, I was accidentally kicked by them and fell to the ground, Xu Qiang rushed to beat me, and the knife in his hand was still stabbing me, so I went to grab the knife, and later took the knife I took it off, and I stabbed him, I don’t know how many times, and then he fell to the ground, and the other two ran away when they saw it.”

"Did you see someone stabbing Xu Qiang?"

"I didn't see it at the time, but when I thought about it later, I felt that when I took the knife from him, someone might have stabbed him, because I heard him yelling, and it was very dark at that time, and I couldn't see the situation clearly. , I am older, he is younger, and stronger than me, I would not be able to take his knife away, but when I was able to take it back, I suspected that he was accidentally injured."

"Did you see the other two with knives in their hands?"

"I seem to have taken it, but it was too dark that night, I really didn't see if they had a knife in their hands, but Xu Qiang did have a knife in his hand, I saw it."

"The public prosecution agency accused that the knife is yours, how do you explain it?"

"I really didn't have a knife at the time. The knife belonged to Xu Qiang. I took it off, not mine. I have never had that kind of knife in my family."

"What part did you stab Xu Qiang at that time?"

"I don't remember exactly because I was very nervous at the time, and I was also injured. I just waved the knife and stabbed him, but I didn't expect to stab him to death."

"How tall is Xu Qiang?"

"About 1.8 meters."

"how tall are you?"

"I'm 1.6 meters five."

"How old are the other two?"

"I can't see clearly at night, but I'm not very old, about the same as Xu Qiang."

"Has Xu Qiang introduced who the two of them are?"

"No, but the accent sounds like a local."

"Do you have evidence to report Xu Zuodong?"

"I don't have evidence, but someone has evidence. I went to report with them. As soon as the report was finished, Xu Qiang brought people to beat us."

"Judge, my questioning is over." Meng Lang looked at the judge and said when the question came to this point.

The judge nodded and asked, "Defendant Zheng Haofeng, is that knife really not yours?"

"Report to the judge, that knife really doesn't belong to me, I don't have a fruit knife at home."

After hearing this, the judge stopped questioning and said to the public prosecutor, "Now we can present evidence and cross-examine it."

The prosecutor first presented the fruit knife.

The bailiff showed Zheng Haofeng the fruit knife and asked if it was the knife he killed Xu Qiang. Zheng Haofeng nodded and said yes.

Meng Lang then testified: "Although this fruit knife is the one that killed Xu Qiang, we haven't found out yet what the source of this knife is. The public prosecution agency accused the knife of being the defendant's, but the defendant is now He does not admit that he has the knife, but admits that the knife was taken from the victim. Although there are fingerprints of the defendant on it, but not the fingerprints of the victim, this does not mean that the knife must belong to the defendant. Maybe the fruit knife is used for evidence collection. It is also possible that the victim’s fingerprints disappeared during the process, so it is impossible to confirm that the knife belongs to the defendant.”

After hearing what he said, the public prosecutor said: "There are only the defendant's fingerprints on it, but not the victim's fingerprints, and there are witnesses to prove that Xu Qiang went to the defendant's house without bringing a knife at all, so this knife belongs to the defendant himself. Said that the source of this knife has not been found out."

"The witnesses mentioned by the public prosecutor are Xu Qiang's two accomplices, who have a stake in the case, so their testimony is extremely credible. On the contrary, the defendant's statement is more objective and true. It should be determined that the knife was brought by the victim."
