"Sister Zhang, how many years have you been neighbors with the Zhang family?" Wu You asked.
"It's more than 20 years. Our house is an old house, and almost all of them are old neighbors for more than 20 years." Sister Zhang said.
"According to the defendant and the defendant's mother, Ms. Liu Qiaopei, the victim Zhang Gongguo continued to abuse their mother and child. Do you agree with this statement?" Wu You asked.
Xu Liang frowned and looked at Sister Zhang.
Sister Zhang swallowed unconsciously, and said: "Yes, that man Zhang Gongguo often beats his wife and children, especially after drinking alcohol. Qiaopei and Zhang Ling are often beaten all over their bodies." Sister Zhang said .
"On the day of the incident, did the victim Zhang Gongguo commit domestic violence against Zhang Ling and Liu Qiaopei's mother and son?" Wu You asked.
"Yes, my family lives downstairs in Zhang's house. All night, I heard the upstairs crying and shouting, swearing at people and smashing things, which made people's hearts jump." Sister Zhang said.
"Can you be more specific, who is crying, who is shouting? Who is cursing, and who is smashing things?" Wu You asked.
"Of course it was Zhang Gongguo who was swearing. When he was drunk, he was swearing at people, and his mouth was dirty. Xiao Liu and Zhang Ling were crying. It has been like this for ten or twenty years." Sister Zhang sighed.
Xu Liang agreed with the testimonies of Mr. Hu and Sister Zhang. He did not deny the fact that Zhang Gongguo had been abusing Liu Qiaopei and Zhang Ling at home for a long time, but he did not think that Zhang Gongguo¡¯s wrong behavior was justified for Zhang Ling to deprive Zhang Gongguo of his life. The main disagreement in this case is whether Zhang Ling's continuous beheading of Zhang Gongguo was out of self-defense or whether the criminal elements of the crime of intentional homicide have been met.
Xu Liang does not intend to question Sister Zhang's testimony. He upholds the principle of fairness and objectivity in handling cases, and is not the kind of prosecutor who uses litigation strategies and techniques in order to convict the defendant.
The last witness was Lu Guangshen, and Wu You believed that Lu Guangshen was the most critical witness in this case.
"Mr. Lu, on the day of the incident, did you knock on the door of Zhang's house?" Wu You asked.
"Yes. I was working on a project that day, but the Zhang family's crying and shouting kept interrupting my thoughts, so I knocked on the door to protest." Lu Guangshen said succinctly.
"Then what did you see?" Wu You asked.
Lu Guangshen helped his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said: "I saw Zhang Gongguo was holding a wooden stick in his hand when he came to open the door, and Liu Qiaopei was lying on the ground covered in blood, dying, and Zhang Ling was also curled up on the other side. far away."
"Did you want to call the police at that time?" Wu You asked.
Lu Guangshen's heart trembled, he really didn't think about it, he just wanted to live in his own small world, and didn't want to cause trouble. He said: "The Zhang family is always like this. The next day, the family will live in harmony again. I don't need to be a villain in vain."
Wu You nodded, slandering, if Lu Guangshen called the police in time at that time, perhaps the tragedy could have been avoided.
"And then?" Wu You asked.
"Then I negotiated with Zhang Gongguo, hoping that he would be quieter, but Zhang Gongguo picked up a stick and wanted to hit me, so I turned around and went back." Lu Guangshen said.
Xu Liang also felt a little regretful. If one of Zhang Ling's neighbors could call the police in time, maybe the matter would not develop to the point of irreversibility. He also thought of the tragic cases caused by domestic violence that he had dealt with over the years, and he couldn't help but lament the indifference of human feelings. In this society, there are still places where the sun doesn't shine and people's hearts are cold. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
