Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 559: Chapter 382: Trial! The Real Murder Weapon!

The other side dragged up a man whose hands were cuffed, face haggard, eyes full of panic and unease, and walked him toward the courtroom.

After a long moment.

The dragging sound snapped the courtroom out of its daze, and everyone looked up.

They saw Dong Feiyu, who was struggling nonstop and resisting with his whole body, being dragged to the witness stand in the courtroom.

People had originally wanted to speak up and ask questions, but when they saw him, the words stuck in their throats and they suddenly paused, surprise flickering across their faces.

"What’s going on with Dong Feiyu? Was he tortured into confessing?"

"How did he end up... looking like some homeless bum?"

"Hiss, the Dong Clan isn’t going to have a problem with this, right..."

"..."

Only to see this.

Dragged in, Dong Feiyu’s complexion was indescribably bad, his skin sallow and haggard, eyes bloodshot, hair a mess.

If not for his clothes still being fairly neat, he’d be a complete vagrant!

Seeing this.

Everyone at the scene couldn’t help lowering their heads to whisper to each other.

Even Huang Ren was a bit surprised, and Xu Liang simply raised an eyebrow.

It was obvious neither of them had expected that while waiting to die, the man would torment himself into this state, but it didn’t matter; it wouldn’t change his outcome.

"Bang, bang!"

"Order!"

Zhao Yi struck the gavel, then his face hardened. He looked sternly at Dong Feiyu and asked in a deep voice.

"Witness Dong Feiyu, do you confirm the contents of the testimony submitted by the Procuratorate?!"

In theory.

A case can be closed even without objective evidence.

As long as the logic matches the police investigation and the defendant confesses, the court can issue a verdict according to law.

Just like in the first trial, when Lv Xiong confessed, the police had evidence, and the logical inferences in the process held up, so they could sentence him to a suspended death sentence.

So even if no evidence can be found that Dong Feiyu appeared in Sanma Village...

As long as the testimonies from multiple parties line up, they can still convict Dong Feiyu!

So.

As long as, during the recess, Dong Feiyu acknowledged that what he said in his statement was true, the court could directly declare the case closed.

But unfortunately...

Dong Feiyu took a deep breath, held it, accepted the document handed over by the clerk, glanced over it briefly...

"No... no, this isn’t what I said!"

In a daze, Dong Feiyu steeled himself inside, gritted his teeth and denied:

"They forced me to say all this!"

"If I didn’t talk, they hit me, they cursed me, they even wouldn’t let me eat... I’ve been wronged!!!"

When he finished.

Suddenly.

The gallery erupted in an uproar, shock written on their faces.

Huang Ren’s eye twitched, his expression turning dark and foul.

As expected, he’d known this shameless bastard Dong Feiyu would never just cough up details of the case without pulling some stunt...

"Order!"

Zhao Yi hurriedly cut off the chatter in the gallery, then looked heavily at Dong Feiyu, his brows knitting.

"Witness, the prosecution has submitted interrogation records; they show no sign of any coercive interrogation!"

It’s not just police interrogations that are recorded on camera; even prosecutors do the same.

Exactly because of the fear of running into backbiting brats like Dong Feiyu!

Hearing that.

Dong Feiyu’s heart sank, but he still stiffened his neck and said:

"I was in Qingshi City the whole month of August; I never went to Hanhai City!"

"Me killing someone... that’s all slander!"

"I’ve never even touched a gun!"

He spoke loudly, his tone adamant. If he were a normal person, most folks would probably be fooled into believing him.

But Huang Ren’s face grew uglier by the second.

He could see clearly what the man was trying to do.

Drag it out!

That’s right, what Dong Feiyu wanted was to stall!

Every extra day he dragged this out was another day he stayed alive!

The fear of death was too overwhelming. Even clinging to life shamelessly was less terrifying to him than dying!

As he spoke.

It was as if something occurred to him, and he pressed on, asking nonstop:

"The gun, I don’t have a gun!"

"That kid was shot to death, and I don’t have a gun at all—only that bastard Lv Xiong has one. On what basis are you suspecting me?!"

At that.

Lv Xiong, in a "detox" state and moving like a walking corpse, instinctively lifted his head to glance at him.

"Witness, watch your language!"

Zhao Yi was annoyed, rapping the gavel in warning.

Comments that amount to personal attacks are always to be stopped in court.

Dong Feiyu didn’t care in the slightest.

A warning... how could that possibly be more frightening than death!?

As for the gun... his gun was hidden somewhere impossible to find.

Hidden in Dong Manor!

Or rather, hidden among Dong Clan assets—where even if the police raided the estate, they wouldn’t be able to find the firearm in the short term.

Dig three feet into the ground to find it?

No. The way he’d stashed the gun was extremely legal; if the police tried to seize it by force, that would actually be illegal!

Precisely because of that.

Dong Feiyu dared to keep quibbling; as long as they couldn’t produce the gun, it had nothing to do with him!

"Your Honor, we would like to submit a piece of evidence."

Just then, Xu Liang, for the defense, suddenly spoke up.

Submit evidence?

Everyone froze, and instinctively looked over at Xu Liang.

Dong Feiyu didn’t know what was happening, but his heart sank and a faint unease rose.

Xu Liang placed a long, narrow package on the table.

"Ssssh!"

He slid the package open, and inside was... a rectangular box!

The box looked like something used to store a scroll.

This is...

Dong Feiyu was stunned, and the next second his pupils contracted sharply.

"Your Honor."

"Before the hearing, someone came to us, claiming that when they were inventorying Dong Clan assets, they discovered a rather odd asset in a bank vault."

"Nobody knew what this object was, only that it was something Dong Feiyu had entrusted to the bank, to be kept in its vault."

"Because Dong Feiyu is suspected of intentional homicide, this person contacted the bank, and they ultimately removed the contents from the safe deposit box."

Most people have two impressions of banks.

First, that banks are places to deposit and withdraw money.
