Chapter 32 Shen Hentian's Speculation Is Very Lethal

The God of Wealth statue is a key evidence, but it is not the lethal weapon. The autopsy report provided by the police clearly stated that the deceased Xu Songning died of mechanical asphyxiation.

Shen Hentian took out a document and said in a deep voice: "Lawyer Luo, since you raised this question, I can tell you very clearly that the statue of the God of Wealth was used to attack the deceased Xu Songning, so it was placed on his forehead A wound was left, and after technical testing by the police, only the defendant Zhang Jinlu's fingerprints were found on the statue of the God of Wealth."

Luo Lan looked at Zhang Jinlu and asked, "Zhang Jinlu, who bought this God of Wealth?"

"I bought it on the side of the road. Ah Ning doesn't like this statue of the God of Wealth, so I haven't touched it since I bought it. I usually take care of burning incense and worshiping gods."

Luo Lan nodded and said, "Prosecutor Shen, you heard it too. It's not surprising that Zhang Jinlu's fingerprints are on the statue of the God of Wealth. It doesn't mean that she smashed Xu Songning's head with the statue of the God of Wealth."

Shen Hentian frowned again, and replied: "Lawyer Luo, could it be that the god will hit Xu Songning's head by himself if he has long legs, and Xu Songning's death was caused by suffocation, either by strangulation or by covering his mouth and nose to death?" Yes, this is also strong evidence that Zhang Jinlu is extremely brutal."

Hearing Shen Hentian's words, Zhang Jinlu kept shaking her head and said, "No, I didn't strangle Ah Ning to death, I really didn't go upstairs, presiding judge, Lawyer Luo, I was really wronged."

There is no basis for her words, even if Zhang Jinlu has a hundred mouths, she can't speak clearly at this moment. She can't produce evidence in her favor, and Luo Lan can't produce strong evidence for her either.

Shen Hentian continued to add: "Xu Songning suffocated to death. There was no obvious trace of a fight at the scene of the crime, which means that Xu Songning must have been with acquaintances at the time. Ms. Li has already said before that Xu Songning was very weak because he was not acclimatized. He was attacked by Zhang Jinlu and fell to the ground, and then Zhang Jinlu, who was furious, strangled him to death."

Luo Lan seized the flaw in Shen Hentian's words, and said sharply, "Prosecutor Shen, how do you know it was strangled, not other methods."

Shen Hentian showed a photo of the deceased, and replied: "The deceased Xu Songning died with his back facing the sky, the blood on his forehead regularly left bloodstains along his cheeks, if he died with his mouth and nose covered, the bloodstains on his face It must be very messy, so the defendant Zhang Jinlu must have strangled Xu Songning to death, and she planned it long ago."

Luo Lan didn't know the truth, but she knew what she had to fight for Zhang Jinlu, instead of letting Shen Hentian push her into a fatal abyss.

"Prosecutor Shen, why do you say that my client had premeditated it? She just went to see Xu Songning on a temporary basis. No matter what happened, it must have been premeditated."

Shen Hentian chuckled and said, "Lawyer Luo, what I want to say next is the most critical part of the whole case. Since Xu Songning was strangled to death by Zhang Jinlu, the police did not detect the fingerprints left by Zhang Jinlu on his neck." , do you know what that means?"

"Prosecutor Shen, you didn't slap yourself in the face. Doesn't this mean that Xu Songning was not strangled to death by Zhang Jinlu?"

"Lawyer Luo, on the contrary, this is where Zhang Jinlu is really scary. The easiest way to strangle a person without leaving fingerprints is to wear a pair of white gloves. There are no such conditions at the scene of the crime. In other words, Zhang Jinlu She even carries a pair of white gloves that won't leave fingerprints, what on earth is she trying to do?"

Zhang Jinlu heard Shen Hentian's accusation, and shouted: "No, I'm not wearing white gloves, you're slandering me."

"Yes, all of this is my inference. Your original plan may have been to use sleeping pills and other drugs to stun Xu Songning, and then kill him. The purpose of wearing white gloves is to prevent fingerprints from being left."

Shen Hentian paused, and continued: "On the day of the incident, you unexpectedly discovered that Xu Songning who had returned from the trip was extremely weak, so after he went upstairs, after a brief thought, you decided to go upstairs and continue to implement your plan. Attacked Xu Songning with the God of Wealth statue, and then strangled him while he was weak."

Luo Lan countered: "Prosecutor Shen, all of this is your speculation, you have no real evidence, please don't mislead the presiding judge and the jurors in court."

Shen Hentian lightly knocked on the table twice, and replied: "Okay, I admit that these are all my speculations, presiding judge, I would like to invite the witnesses of this case to testify in court."

The so-called witness, that is, the person who reported the incident on the day of the incident, is said to be a courier.

Soon the witnesses came to the court. They looked about in their early forties. At first glance, they looked like people who often run outside. Their skin was dark and rough, and they looked quite strong.

As it was the first time to go to court, the witnesses seemed nervous.

Shen Hentian asked: "Excuse me, what is your name and what job do you do?"

"I, my name is Li Zhangde, and I'm from ZTO Express."

"Li Zhangde, what did you see on the day of the incident, please tell the presiding judge truthfully."

Li Zhangde swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and replied: "Judgment, presiding judge, on the day of the incident, I happened to go upstairs to deliver the courier, but when I reached the stairs, I saw a girl rushing out in a panic. She also hit me at that time."

Shen Hentian sternly said: "Li Zhangde, do you still remember who the girl who bumped into you was and is she in the courtroom?"

Li Zhangde pointed to Zhang Jinlu and said, "It's her, I remember very clearly, it's her."

Seeing Li Zhangde pointing at her, Zhang Jinlu said anxiously, "No, you're lying, I haven't seen you, I haven't bumped into you, it's someone else, and what you saw must be someone else."

Shen Hentian was unmoved, and continued to ask: "Li Zhangde, what happened afterwards?"

"Later, I went up to the fourth floor to deliver the courier. When I passed by the third floor, I found the door was half open. I, I took a look inside and found a man lying motionless in a pool of blood. I also I didn’t dare to go in and move around, so I ran to the small supermarket downstairs to report the crime.”

Why do you still have to go to the small supermarket to report the crime?

Although Luo Lan's current odds of winning are extremely low, she didn't intend to let go of any doubts, and asked, "Li Zhangde, why didn't you report the crime directly with your mobile phone, and went all the way downstairs to report the crime?"

"I, my mobile phone just ran out of battery, otherwise, I, I wouldn't have to go upstairs to deliver the courier. It was already 04:30 at that time, and I still had a lot of goods to deliver."
