Chapter 137: Chapter 135: Trial – An Unexpected Turnaround
County Magistrate frowned, “Who are you?”
“I am Di Yelei’s wife, the person whom Old Man Li just mentioned! Based on the testimonies and evidence just presented, I have a few words to say.”
So, she was the suspect’s new wife? The onlookers were buzzing with discussion.
County Magistrate was getting a headache. This mundane murder case somehow caught the attention of the higher-ups, who issued an order for swift resolution!
With all the evidence and testimonies at hand, he wished he could close the case immediately! Liu Sisi’s interference was unwelcome!
“Well then! Since this case involves you, just say what you need to say!”
“Thank you, Your Honor.”
Liu Sisi stepped forward and approached Diao Shanbiao: “Diao Shanbiao, you said you witnessed me committing adultery with Big Mouth Li, and then Di Yelei caught us, cut off Li’s descendants, and strangled him with an apron rope. Is that true?”
Diao Shanbiao nodded firmly: “Of course.”
“Very well.”
Liu Sisi then went to Old Man Li: “Old Uncle Li, you just said Sisi seduced Big Mouth Li unsuccessfully, then colluded with Di Yelei to murder Li. Is that correct?”
“That’s the truth! You were married to a remote Upper Village because no one wanted you, a pair of worn-out shoes, except for Di Yelei, a widower who took you as his new wife!”
These words made Liu Sisi’s face turn pale with anger!
“Old Man Li, I suggest you be more careful with your words, leave a way out for yourself! You should understand the principle of ‘spilled water cannot be gathered up!’ ” Di Yelei yelled angrily, daring anyone to harm Sisi, they’ll have to deal with him first!
“I’ve never lied, my words are backed by my conscience.” Old Man Li stubbornly refused to back down, determined to nail down the wicked woman’s sins today.
“Such conscience!”
Liu Sisi suddenly bowed to the County Magistrate: “Your Honor, can Sisi and her husband prove their innocence once Sisi can show that it was not her who slept with Big Mouth Li on that day?”
Di Yelei on the side became anxious!
“Sisi! Don’t talk nonsense, this has nothing to do with you, step back now! I have solid evidence to prove that I am not the killer, don’t be afraid!”
Zhang Peng in the crowd heaved a sigh of relief!
He knew that Liu Sisi was still a virgin, and the prospect of saving Yelei gave him a kind of happiness.
“Silence! The suspect must not interrupt!”
County Magistrate stopped Di Yelei, then turned to Liu Sisi: “You just said you have evidence, show it to us!”
“Thank you, Your Honor. May I ask if there is a midwife in the governmental office for inspection?”
Liu Sisi’s cheeks couldn’t help but blush.
County Magistrate was taken aback, did she want to prove her innocence by showing she was pregnant? However, this reason seemed far-fetched.
But he had no reason to stop her, so he nodded: “Of course, there is a midwife. Someone, bring Granny Xu here quickly.”
While the governmental office’s runners went to fetch Granny Xu, the County Magistrate explained: “Granny Xu is a renowned midwife in our county. Not only does she deliver babies for the wives of wealthy families, she is also responsible for the final body examination of the selected beauties in Macheng County during the talent selection. She is very experienced.”
It was clear to everyone what the County Magistrate meant. If even the selected beauties had to go through Granny Xu, her words would certainly be credible.
Soon, Granny Xu was brought in with assistance.
