Witnesses? Ye Meng rubbed her chin. She only realized then that there was a witness. No wonder Magistrate Zhang had not released this person after so long. It was because there was another witness. However, this witness…Ye Meng was still skeptical.
At this moment, a thin and small man with a slightly wretched appearance stood out and knelt in the court.
Before he spoke, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced in the direction of Wang Tu's wife.
"Sir, I am Li Er." As he spoke, he respectfully spoke in the direction of Magistrate Zhang.
"Li Er! Why is it you?" Wang Tu looked at Li Er fiercely. His eyes were so wide that they were about to pop out. The veins on his face were also popping out. As he spoke, he wanted to get up and beat him up, but he was stopped by the constable beside him in time.
" Your Excellency, this, this, this…" Li Er looked at Magistrate Zhang in horror as if he was very afraid of Wang Tu.
"Li Er, just tell the truth. I will ensure your safety." Magistrate Zhang signaled for him to continue.
"Yes." Li Er glanced at him and said," Sir, I was drinking with Wang Tu that day. He told me that he was going to do something big to earn a fortune." At that time, the little one thought that he could do something, so he didn't care. He didn't expect that something would happen to the bank the next day. The next day, he even took out a golden hairpin and showed it to me. It's obviously stolen goods!"
"Milord, I didn't know that Wang Tu would do such a thing. I didn't dare to say it out of fear.”As he spoke, Li Er suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted," Please punish me, Your Excellency."”
"Li Er! You're full of nonsense! When did I drink with you?!" Wang Tu couldn't hold it in anymore. He broke free from the constable's suppression and rushed forward to strangle Li Er. "Why didn't I strangle you to death back then?”
"Men!" Magistrate Zhang saw that the situation was not right and quickly sent people to separate them.
"Cough cough, Wang Tu, I'm sorry. But this is a major crime of murder, you should…just admit it!”
"Silence!" Magistrate Zhang scolded again,"What do you think the court is?!"”As he spoke, he turned to Wang Tu." Tell me, is what he said true?"”
"Humph? A real man would never take the blame even if he did not do it!”Wang Tu threw down this sentence in disdain.
"You!" Magistrate Zhang was so angry that he pointed his finger at him, his mouth trembling slightly.
"Well said!" Ye Meng, who was standing at the side, laughed and clapped. The clapping sounds were especially clear at this moment. All of a sudden, everyone's eyes turned to her. He didn't know what she was doing.
"What are you doing?" Qi Lu noticed that something was wrong and quickly pulled her hand down as he asked softly.
"Sir, Wang Tu was indeed wrongly accused in this case.”Ye Meng pushed him away and walked around Wang Tu and Li Er in the middle of the court.
"Ye Meng?" Magistrate Zhang looked at the person in front of him and was confused at first, but then he was a little angry." Who let you in?”Logically speaking, other than the relevant personnel and constables, no one else was allowed to enter.
When did she come in? Ye Meng was even more speechless. She had just come from the back hall. Magistrate Zhang had seen her just now, but he didn't have any reaction. However, this was not the main point.
Ye Meng smiled apologetically at Magistrate Zhang and continued,"I'm here to help Wang Tu reverse the verdict."?”
"Nonsense!" Magistrate Zhang frowned.
"Sir, you can listen to this little girl's opinion.”As he spoke, he walked towards Wang Tu." Wang Tu, please cooperate with me later."”
"Miss Xie is willing to speak up for me, so I will definitely try my best to cooperate.”Wang Tu saw that Ye Meng didn't seem to have bad intentions, so he cooperated with her gratefully.
"Then I'll start." Ye Meng looked around and saw that Magistrate Zhang had no intention of stopping him even though his face was stern. He continued," Magistrate, I believe the corpse has been handed over to the coroner for examination. However, he did not know if the coroner had discovered a problem. For example, the shape of the wound."
"Send the coroner." Magistrate Zhang also wanted to hear Ye Meng's judgment, so he immediately summoned the coroner. After the coroner came over, he only said,"It's illogical for the left to be narrow and the right to be wide" and then left.
"As the saying goes, the left is narrow and the right is wide. I believe the magistrate is also very clear that if a normal person uses a weapon to kill a person, the wound caused should be wide on the left and narrow on the right. " As for this person…" Ye Meng turned around and looked at the crowd." I think everyone saw it just now. When Wang Tu tried to hit Li Er, he habitually used his right hand first, which means that his dominant hand is actually his right hand. This contradicts the fact that the wound shows that the murderer is left-handed.”
"Continue." Magistrate Zhang indicated.
Ye Meng nodded slightly in his direction." That's the first thing. The second thing is, if Wang Tu is the murderer, how did he clean up the scene without leaving any clues? It would probably be very difficult to do this except for experienced people or thieves in the bank. Moreover, there was so much money in the villa. How could Wang Tu transport all of it out? Since he had already shown off to Li Er, why did he only show off a golden hairpin?”
"In my opinion, that golden hairpin is actually a gift that Wang Tu prepared for his wife.”As she spoke, she looked at Wang Tu, and the person kneeling on the ground nodded repeatedly to confirm her guess.
"Nonsense!" At this moment, Li Er, who was kneeling at the side, could not sit still anymore. He quickly jumped out." What I said just now is all the truth. Miss, don't speak nonsense! I think what you said just now was completely your guess. How could a woman know how to solve a case!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Meng smiled, but it was a fake smile. She clenched her fists and resisted the urge to rush up and beat him up.
Qi Lu was silently mourning for Lee Er. Ever since he met Ye Meng, she had emphasized to him more than once that she hated it when people looked down on women.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Meng finally restrained herself from scolding Li Er in the court. She just stared at him fiercely and continued," Li Er, you said that you are telling the truth, but who can prove it?" Just now, Wang Tu seemed to completely disagree with your words.”
"Do you know when he went out, when he came back, what kind of weapon he used, and how he moved his belongings?”
This series of questions made Li Er speechless for a moment. He didn't know any of these questions, and he wasn't prepared to answer these questions before.
"Why don't you know?" Ye Meng looked at him disdainfully." Then let me tell you why you jumped out to frame Wang Tu."”
"W-what?" Li Er didn't expect Ye Meng to suddenly mention this and felt a little uneasy. Could this woman really guess everything? However, in the next second, she quickly shook her head and denied it. She was just a little girl. Could she really have such extraordinary abilities?
"What's wrong? Feeling guilty?" Ye Meng pretended to smile." If I'm not wrong, Li Er, you've been coveting Wang Tu's wife for a long time, haven't you?"”He stretched out his hand and pointed at the woman in the crowd who had previously pleaded for Wang Tu's innocence.
On closer inspection, although the woman's face was pale and her body was very thin, one could still tell from her eyes that she was a beautiful woman. She must have had many pursuers when she was young.
"You, you're slandering me!" Li Er seemed to have been poked into the ground and was a little nervous. Her face turned red.
"Madam, don't you think so?" Ye Meng saw that he was unwilling to admit it, so she threw the question to Wang Tu's wife. The woman's face was a little red. She nodded timidly and whispered," Li Er, he... did express those intentions to me many times..."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar. They all pointed the finger at Li Er. At this moment, Wang Tu was so angry that he wanted to strangle Li Er when he heard that he had indecent thoughts about his wife. However, he was stopped by Ye Meng with a look.
"See, I was right." Ye Meng smiled smugly." Some men are like that. They're so lustful that they push their brothers into the abyss for their own selfish desires. In the end, he still fell into the hands of beauty.”
Although this sentence seemed to be an accusation of some bad behavior, in fact, it was her own counterattack against Li Er's disdain for women.
Qi Lu secretly turned around and chuckled. He knew that Ye Meng was not a magnanimous person. She would definitely find a chance to retaliate.
"Li Er, I will give you one more chance. Tell me the truth.”Magistrate Zhang glared at Li Er." If you're lying, I won't let you off easily!”
The gavel was suddenly slapped. Li Er was so scared that he couldn't help but tremble. He looked at Ye Meng's determined gaze and the people around him who had been staring at him. His legs went weak and he lost consciousness after seeing the darkness in front of him.
It turned out that Li Er had fainted from fear. Everyone sighed when they saw this. Magistrate Zhang felt that his face was particularly dark, so he quickly ordered people to detain Li Er, who was lying on the ground. When he woke up, he would be investigated for his crime of perjuring the court.
As for Wang Tu, he could only be acquitted and temporarily released. Wang Tu and his wife hugged each other excitedly and thanked Ye Meng repeatedly before leaving together. The crowd also dispersed.
"Ye Meng, how should I punish you?”After everyone left, Magistrate Zhang turned the topic back to Ye Meng.
Ye Meng secretly stuck out her tongue in Qi Lu's direction when he wasn't paying attention. She knew that Magistrate Zhang was talking about her entering the court without permission.
"Your Excellency, I didn't do it on purpose. I just wanted to help Wang Tu clear his name. In order to prevent Your Excellency from misjudging a good person and being criticized, I anxiously jumped out.”She randomly made up excuses and tried to say something nice to appease Magistrate Zhang. After all, the person in front of her was her immediate superior.
He was also the person who provided for her in this world. She could not make him too angry.
"Humph." It was obvious that Magistrate Zhang didn't really buy it. "Speaking of which, how did you know about the things you said in court just now? Did you secretly investigate behind my back?"”
"Uh, my lord." Qi Lu realized that something was wrong and quickly ran over to explain for her." I didn't secretly investigate. Ye Meng was just concerned and analyzed it based on her own ability.”
"Is that so?" Magistrate Zhang clearly did not believe his words. "Looks like you can't get away with it either." Qi Lu fell silent.
"Milord, I did investigate.”Ye Meng was much more frank than Qi Lu." But the truth is about to be revealed. I believe that we'll be able to catch the real murderer soon if we keep investigating."”
"Do you still want to continue investigating?”Magistrate Zhang caught the main point in her words and asked.
"I hope you can give me a chance.”Ye Meng looked at him with a serious expression.
"Nonsense!" Magistrate Zhang's expression turned ugly. He stared at Ye Meng for a long time before he flung his sleeves and left the court.
Ye Meng and Qi Lu were left looking at each other.
