Chapter 2091: A Huge Reversal
The police had already arrested him and he confessed that he was under Yi Xiao’s orders.
“Nonsense! I don’t even know him!” Yi Xiao pointed at the witness.
But the prosecution lawyer was not impressed. He took out the evidence provided by the witness and handed it to the jury. “Here is the evidence of the transaction between Mr. Yi and the witness, Ah De.”
Ah De produced a bank transfer receipt, which showed 100,000 yuan transferred from Yi Xiao’s account to Ah De. Ah De immediately proved that he had been hired by Yi Xiao.
Almost everyone was led astray by Ah De’s words and evidence. At this time, Lawyer Jin raised his doubts. “Li Song being alive would be good evidence for my client. So why did my client need to have him killed?”
“Mr. Yi told me to silence Li Song if he doesn’t cooperate,” Ah De said. “According to my understanding, Li Song will not testify for Mr. Yi, so I have to follow Mr. Yi’s instructions.”
“You’re lying!” Yi Xiao shouted angrily.
Lawyer Jin continued, “Since this witness kept saying that Yi Xiao was the one who ordered it and also said that Li Song would not cooperate, then let’s invite the victim Li Song up and ask him himself. Wouldn’t that be clear?”
Ah De was stunned. “Li Song is dead!”
“Who says that Li Song is dead?”
Lawyer Jin smiled and looked towards the door. Soon, the door opened. Li Song, who had been declared dead under the protection of the police, miraculously appeared at the door of the courtroom.
The crowd was in an uproar, and the judge had no choice but to slam his gravel again.
Lawyer Jin explained to the judge and the jury, “Your Honor, the jury, in order to protect Li Song, an important witness, we replaced him with a corpse in the detention center. This so-called witness, Ad, who is also the murderer, snuck into the detention center the night before the trial and killed the fake Li Song. Now, in order to cover up the crime, we have placed all the blame on my client. Now I want to appeal to Your Honor to let the real Li Song testify.”
“Permission granted!” The judge nodded.
Everything had changed.
Below the stage, Fang Xiaocheng and her friends were extremely happy. They thought that Yi Xiao would not be able to escape this disaster. But now, they realized that there was still a chance for the case to turn around. They wanted to see what would happen next.
At this time, as an important witness, Li Song was standing on the witness stand. Because the fake Li Song was killed that night, he hid in the dark and saw everything that had happened. He was almost scared to death and chose to tell the truth.
He told her about his relationship with Guan Mei and how he had used her to blackmail Yi Xiao.
He also said that on the day of the murder, Yi Xiao had left 500,000 in his bank card. After he left, he came back and had a physical conflict with Guan Mei. He knocked her out with a bottle of wine and took her bank card away.
But Guan Mei wasn’t dead when he had checked her breathing. She had merely fainted. Later on, a man in black sneakers had gone in and killed Guan Mei.
Li Song happened to see it when he was turning back.
Mr. Jin nodded. “Then, Li Song, can you still recognize the man in black sneakers?”
“Yes! It’s him!”
Li Song was pointing at Ah De, who had tried to kill him in secret.
At this point, it could basically be determined that Yi Xiao was not the murderer. The crime could be cleared, and Yi Xiao himself was secretly relieved.
Everyone was happy for Yi Xiao.
