Chapter 538 - 376: This Is the Pace of a Trial!
Chapter 538: Chapter 376: This Is the Pace of a Trial!
In the prosecution.
Several prosecutors’ eyes flickered, while Huang Ren looked at Xu Liang with a twitch at the corner of his mouth.
These things... the opposing side didn’t submit them!
Who knows when they found out...
Xu Liang, however, ignored all this and continued:
"So, we immediately focused on the informant Liu Meng!"
"After a series of friendly exchanges, we finally have this trial now."
Which means....
"The informant Liu Meng is not just a passerby!"
"He is a ’corpse collector’ hired by Zhang Feng, the village chief of Sanma Village, who has collected dozens of corpses over ten years!!!"
"According to his description, there were three people at the crime scene when he collected Hu Hua’s corpse, none of whom were Lv Xiong. The three were Zhang Feng, the village chief of Sanma Village, veterinarian Sun Hu, and a young man."
"The young man appeared to be around twenty-five years old and notably had a mole on his face."
Xu Liang’s tone was urgent, as if swept by a wild storm.
Indeed, it was so!
In just an instant, the entire courtroom was like a raging tide inside everyone’s heart, unable to calm down for a long time.
Everyone was in shock.
The prosecution said there was no information about a third person on the scene....
Xu Liang said there was, not just a third person, but also a fourth and fifth!!!
Of course, not everyone focused on that point.
"Sir, dozens of people...." In the position where the Dong Clan sat.
A middle-aged man’s face suddenly changed.
Twenty-four people cannot be considered dozens.
This means Xu Liang subconsciously thinks there are more victims, and the subconscious basis comes from evidence, so....
"What exactly did Feiyu do!?"
Dong Jian’s face looked extremely bad.
Dong Tianbao’s heart sank to rock bottom, his face gloomy as if it would condense water, the hand holding the cane tightly clenched, fingertips turning white.
In the trial.
"Based on a series of investigations, we have identified who the person with a mole on his face is."
"His surname is Dong, full name Dong Feiyu!"
Xu Liang spoke again.
Instantly, Dong Tianbao and others became the target of public criticism!
Every reporter in the gallery subconsciously looked at Dong Feiyu and his group sitting beside them.
These glances held shock, curiosity, horror, and bewilderment.
But no matter the emotion, they all turned into sharp needles, relentlessly pricking the Dong Clan!
Dong Tianbao and Dong Jian’s faces were incredibly grim, yet they bravely held on, without any intention of refuting.
The prosecution.
"It’s smooth... It’s smooth."
"The appellate brief for the second trial is smooth, and Dong Feiyu is smoothly brought up...."
Huang Ren murmured in his heart, then looked meaningfully at the Dong Clan.
At that time.
He felt Xu Liang was using him as a tool, letting him and the Qingshi City prosecutors detain Dong Feiyu.
The truth was indeed that Dong Feiyu was detained, but he couldn’t find out any information, purely serving as Xu Liang’s pawn.
During the capture, he also met the city bureau chief, who personally led the team.
Back then, Huang Ren wondered what kind of crime Dong Feiyu committed to warrant a personal intervention.
Now, looking....
"Dozens of people?"
Huang Ren’s face gradually turned grim, his hands clenched tightly, and his gaze toward the Dong Clan grew increasingly unfriendly.
While the Dong Clan was enwrapped with malice.
Xu Liang suddenly spoke again.
"But, we know that mere suspicion cannot convict someone."
"Dong Feiyu appearing in Sanma Village could be for sightseeing, investment, or even just going to the bathroom; all are possible."
"So, we continued a slight investigation."
"Finally, based on the informant’s description, we discovered a... club."
"Dong Feiyu’s visit to Sanma Village and the twenty-three missing cases are inseparably linked to this club!"
Club?
What kind of thing is a club?
Everyone on the scene was stunned, eyes showing confusion.
In those days, the concept of clubs had not yet been ingrained, and many people didn’t understand what it meant.
However, at the scene were either legal personnel or reporters, so no explanation was needed.
But what does the club have to do with the missing cases?
"Before talking about this so-called club."
"Ladies and gentlemen, I want to revisit a matter."
Xu Liang brought everyone’s thoughts back, putting before them the foreshadowing laid before.
"Sanma Village is a remote village where at least twenty-three people have gone missing in ten years, where there is no electricity, no entertainment, and is extremely dangerous."
"It’s fine if outsiders don’t know, but Sanma Village surely knows about the twenty-three missing people."
"Living in this high-risk environment long-term, surrounded by wild wolves, why....."
"Don’t the villagers of Sanma Village leave?"
This is a counterintuitive question.
Everyone’s attention was focused on the case itself.
Ignoring the highly dangerous condition, yet the villagers of Sanma Village haven’t left!
Judge Zhao Yi and Huang Ren paused slightly, then the next second, as if recalling something, showed astonishment on their faces.
As expected.
Xu Liang followed up with:
"Remember what I asked everyone to keep in mind before?"
"Someone...."
"Intentionally made Sanma Village people addicted to animal drug thiabendazole!!!"
