Chapter 547 Big Day
Fang Chaoyang was quite happy after hanging up the phone. After many days of chatting, Xu Shouxing finally began to talk about the case, which shows that his mentality was shaken.
For Xu Shouxing, life in a foreign land is really hard to bear. It is not only because of the lack of language and different customs, but also the mentality of being a thief, as if he was living in another prison.
In the next two days, each trial was extended to 8 o'clock in the evening. The prosecutor asked the four defendants many times, and fully demonstrated the criminal facts of the four people through evidence and cross-examination and arranging witnesses to appear in court.
During the court debate stage, defense lawyer Qiao Haiyang also expressed his views. He believed that the four defendants all have one thing in common, their legal awareness is indifferent, and the court should fully consider that their crimes do not challenge the subjectivity of the law. In addition, many children have been retrieved, and this positive manifestation should be used as a reference for reducing criminal responsibility.
Cheng Shufen and four others made the final statement and apologized to the victims. However, in the opinion of the collegial panel, this is far from enough. Only by fully explaining the whereabouts of other children is a manifestation of remorse.
At 6:00 p.m. on the third day, the time for the verdict was finally arrived. The media pointed the camera at the bench. Fang Chaoyang solemnly announced that after careful evaluation by the collegial panel, Cheng Shufen and Yu Xiaozhi were sentenced to death, Tang Gang was sentenced to life imprisonment, and Che Panpan was sentenced to twelve years in prison.
Like eggplant made from frost, Cheng Shufen and Yu Xiaozhi immediately became wilted. Perhaps they never expected that the court would be sentenced so heavily.
The instinct of survival made Cheng Shufen shout immediately: "Judge, I know where those five children were sent."
There was a sensation in the audience seat, and everyone knew that Cheng Shufen was deliberately hiding it, but she didn't expect that it was the moment of verdict that she told the truth.
Fang Chaoyang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In view of the defendant Cheng Shufen's new case, his oral judgment will be temporarily shelved and handed over to the prosecution for re-investigation."
Cheng Shufen cried and laughed again, as if she had escaped the disaster. Yu Xiaozhi, who was also sentenced to death, was also panicked and said loudly: "Judge, I have a case to explain."
"Tell it all!" Fang Chaoyang said.
"Twenty years ago, I drove a car on Huaiyang Road and killed a girl. I drank too much that day, and later, the police did not find me." Yu Xiaozhi said.
"Do you know what her name is?"
"It seems to be called Qin Xiuxiu!"
Very unexpectedly, unexpectedly, the perpetrator who killed Qin Xiuxiu actually started to traffic in court after escaping legal sanctions.
"In view of the fact that the defendant Yu Xiaozhi will provide new cases, the oral judgment will be temporarily shelved and handed over to the procuratorate for additional investigation." Fang Chaoyang said.
Tang Gang and Che Panpan also said that there were still contents that had not been confessed, and everyone was full of desire to survive. In the end, the sentence was cancelled and the four people were re-interrogated.
For a time, news reports were overwhelming. After Cheng Shufen was sentenced, he would reveal the whereabouts of his five children. The real murderer was found in the traffic accident case twenty years ago.
"That's great, Chaoyang, Cheng Shufen finally explained."
As soon as he entered the room, Hai Xiaozhou gave Fang Chaoyang a big hug in front of his parents, while Hairun and Zhou Ling had smiles on their faces, but neither turned their heads aside.
Fang Chaoyang patted her back, pushed it away gently, and smiled and said, "Xiaozhou, your judgment is correct. Cheng Shufen is just afraid of death and wants to use this method to delay time."
"It will take another effort, and Cheng Shufen will definitely not say it all at once." Hai Xiaozhou said.
"No matter what, this is good news for those five families." Fang Chaoyang said.
"The unexpected gain was found, and the murderer who killed Qin Xiuxiu!"
"How to say, if you owe someone your life, you will have to pay it back sooner or later. The net of heaven is vast!"
Fang Chaoyang said, and hurriedly went to wash his hands. The whole family was waiting for him to have dinner. Hai Xiaozhou performed well and did not move his chopsticks in advance.
"Chaoyang, thank you for your hard work these days, and you seem to have lost weight." Zhou Ling said with pain while eating.
"Auntie, this is my job. Fortunately, I haven't been in vain. Finally, I have to know which children are missing." Fang Chaoyang said.
"Can Cheng Shufen and Yu Xiaozhi be considered meritorious performance?" Hairun asked.
"They are carrying murder cases and other criminal facts, which are extremely serious in nature. I think they will still be sentenced to death if they hold trial again. As for what Che Panpan and Tang Gang can explain and whether they can receive a commutation of sentences, it is not clear." Fang Chaoyang said truthfully.
"From this point, the court has the greatest deterrence." Hai Run said.
"Dad, we have worked much harder than the court. They are just trying to get the last hurdle." Hai Xiaozhou said.
"Haha, I know my daughter has worked hard, and then again, you can have a good life." Hairun smiled.
"I can't live a free life, and the procuratorate's work is also very good. I deal with various criminals, especially in the past year, and I have trained my courage." Hai Xiaozhou said.
"Okay, stop talking about work, have a meal soon. Chaoyang, come and try this pork buckle tastes how?" Zhou Ling smiled and arranged.
We couldn't rest on weekends. Early in the morning, Fang Chaoyang and Hai Xiaozhou drove a car to the city hospital.
Liu Yueqing was officially discharged from the hospital today. She took off her hospital gown and changed into her favorite ink-blue denim outfit. Wen Yunfei also specially invited a makeup artist to dress her up in the ward.
Compared to before, Liu Yueqing looked a little fatter, but she looked very good, and she always had a happy smile on her face.
"Yueqing, very beautiful." Fang Chaoyang praised.
"What? This is a serious illness. I feel that I am several years older and I am fat. I feel that I am bloated even when I look in the mirror." Liu Yueqing smiled.
"Satisfied, Chaoyang rarely praises girls. He usually doesn't say hypocritical words." Hai Xiaozhou said.
"Haha, thank you!" Liu Yueqing finally smiled.
Today, Liu Yueqing is going to return to Qingshan Village to see Chaoyang Primary School where she once worked, and to visit the children who are waiting for her. For her, today is a big day, and to some extent, it is also a rebirth.
"Our heads actually came." Hai Xiaozhou couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw the two words coming from the corridor.
The person who came was Prosecutor General Wen Gang and his lover, and Wen Yunfei's parents. Fang Chaoyang and Hai Xiaozhou hurriedly greeted each other and shook hands with the Prosecutor General to greet him.
"Chaoyang, I think the court performed very well this time and showed enough patience in the trial of Cheng Shufen's gang case." Wen Gang praised.
"Actually, I have always been worried that Cheng Shufen will not explain the whereabouts of the child until she dies." Fang Chaoyang said.
"The trial also put great pressure on these people, and the death sentence became the last straw that overwhelmed them." Wen Gang said.
