Chapter 45 It is difficult to convict a crime without proof or evidence(2/2)
"Sir, in court, evidence is all about evidence. Now there is no evidence to prove that Liu Xingfa was beaten to death by my son." Yang Hongguang also began to exert his strength.
Meng Ying'er burst into tears: "Sir, no, it must have been Yang Zhengye who beat my beloved to death first.
With my husband’s martial arts skills, how could he be burned to death in a fire?
Even if he is injured, he can easily get out of the fire, and it is not a prison."
Tie Tang has his own concerns.
Liu Xingfa is a person who has perfected the Bone Forging Realm. Even though he is injured in bed, a mere fire wants to burn him to death...
That is simply a blasphemy against martial arts!
The Yang family father and son still did not tell the truth. They only admitted to setting the fire and wanted to create a situation in which Liu Xingfa died unexpectedly.
However, except for the testimony of four gangsters including Zhang San, there is no other evidence that can prove that Liu Xingfa died before the fire.
It has been more than two months since the incident occurred.
The scene of the crime has long been in dilapidated condition, and Liu Xingfa’s body has been buried long ago, which can be used as evidence in court...
There are only some testimonials written in haste by people on that day.
Seeing Tie Tang's silence, Yang Hongguang added fuel to the fire.
"Sir, Zhang, three and four are accomplices to my son. In order to clear away the charges, they will throw any name at my son.
This is completely baseless... Your Excellency, you must investigate carefully to avoid unjustly accusing innocent people."
The testimonies of Zhang, three and four others can indeed only be regarded as supporting evidence and cannot be used as decisive evidence, because the four of them are also suspects.
Obviously.
Yang Hongguang had already reached this point.
As long as Li Chengyun didn't speak, it would be impossible to convict Yang Zhengye based on these scoundrels alone.
There was a strange silence in the courtroom.
Li Chengyun sat on the iron chair, closing his eyes and concentrating, obviously not intending to interfere in this matter.
The Yang family's father and son looked at each other frequently, with a lot of pride in their eyes.
When Yang Hongguang heard Tie Tang's name, he had already made up his mind.
Aren’t you famous and known as Qingtian?
When trying a case in court, evidence must be produced. If there is no evidence, how can we convict?
If it were another official like Li Chengyun, I'm afraid Yang Hongguang would have confessed his crime long ago.
Because he knows that these officials will not tell you the evidence.
Just plant a few spoils and get a few 'iron-conclusive evidence', and you will be punished to death.
On the contrary, it is an upright official like Tie Tang——
Easier to handle!
"Brother Tang, this old man is so arrogant, let's hit him a few times and see if he can move." Bi Qi on the side was very angry.
Duan Jingrui also stood up and said: "Commander, since the case still needs to be discussed, it is better to adjourn the trial again."
He obviously also saw that there was no evidence and wanted to help Tie Tang.
Looking at the proud Yang father and son, Tie Tang burst out laughing.
Sure enough.
What the magistrate said is not without some truth.
If you want to be a good official, you must first be a corrupt official!
If I didn't have the reputation of Qingtian... I would have easily taken down these two people today.
However.
Corrupt officials have their own ways to be corrupt, and honest officials naturally have their own ways to be honest.
Tie Tang stood up from his seat, walked to the Yang family and his son, and stood with his hands behind his back.
The strong wind blew, the dark blue official robes rustled, and the red-headed and black-soled official boots appeared in front of Yang Zhengye.
