Chapter 320 Plaintiff's Statement
"But, with the previous lesson, we dared not give him the recipe of Liangpi again. We refused directly. However, Manager Zheng did not give up. He changed his approach this time. He said that he did not want the secret recipe this time, and he would directly let my wife work in the Liangpi shop, and he would give us 50% of the shop's income. We thought this method was okay, so we agreed."
"But, I didn't expect that Shopkeeper Zheng had long wanted to keep the secret recipe for himself. He arranged for someone to help in the Liangpi shop, in fact, to steal the recipe of Liangpi. After learning it, he wanted to drive my wife out of the workshop. My wife didn't agree, so she argued with Shopkeeper Zheng."
"I never thought that this crazy man would kill my wife!" Wang Lei suddenly pointed at Shopkeeper Zheng, "You are too cruel! You just want the secret recipe! Why did you kill her?"
Only then did Manager Zheng pay some attention to Wang Lei, but it was not a look of guilt, but contempt.
Zhang Quanhe asked at the right time, "Wang Lei, do you have any evidence for what you said?"
You can't just decide the case based on a few words.
There has to be some evidence.
"Of course!" Wang Lei seemed to be waiting to be asked about the evidence, and he suddenly became alert.
He quickly took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket.
"Sir, this is the evidence!" He said, holding up the papers in his hand one by one.
"These are all written by Manager Zheng."
The lawyer quickly stood up and took the evidence from Wang Lei, and read through them one by one. After reading them, he said to Zhang Quanhe, "Sir, these are all kinds of contracts. There is a contract to buy out the spicy hot pot secret recipe with one or two taels of silver, and a contract to hire Wang Zhangshi to the Liangpi shop. There is also a contract that promises to share 50% of the Liangpi shop's profits. Each one has the signature and handprint of Manager Zheng."
"Sir, these deeds were written by Manager Zheng when he cheated us. I kept them all. Isn't this evidence?!"
Zhang Quanhe took the deeds from his lawyer's hand and began to look through them.
"These can only prove that Manager Zheng is involved with you and your wife, but it is not difficult to prove that Manager Zheng killed someone." Zhang Quanhe put down the deed and said.
"Me! I saw Manager Zheng kill someone with my own eyes! I am the witness!" Wang Lei said excitedly, pointing at himself.
"That night, I was supposed to go to the Liangpi shop to pick up my wife, but I was delayed by something and arrived late. When I arrived, I saw Shopkeeper Zheng riding on my wife and slashing her neck with the knife in the shop. I saw it with my own eyes! Doesn't this count as evidence?!"
"Now that I think about it, it's a good thing that I was delayed that day by something else, and I went there late, otherwise I would probably have died!"
As he said this, he pointed his finger at Shopkeeper Wang, "Shopkeeper Wang also saw it! He can also testify!"
At this moment, Shopkeeper Wang felt a tightness in his heart and cursed inwardly as if he was an idiot!
He can't even learn a complete set of words! He also saw what it means. He is really more likely to cause trouble than to help!
Shopkeeper Wang took the initiative to walk to the front of the hall, bowed deeply to Zhang Quanhe, and said, "I am Wang Gang, the shopkeeper of Xiaohuilou."
"Did you also see the shopkeeper Zheng of the Moon Viewing Tower kill someone?" Zhang Quanhe asked.
"No." When Shopkeeper Wang said this, Wang Lei became anxious instantly.
How is this different from what I said before?!
But before he had a chance to speak again, he heard Shopkeeper Wang continue, "I met Wang Lei not far from the Liangpi shop. He was panicked at the time and kept saying murder, murder. Seeing that he was really panicked and looked scared, Wang felt sympathy for him."
"Although Wang did not see Zheng killing people with a knife, he did see Zheng running out of the cold noodle shop in a hurry, and his clothes were covered in blood. Afterwards, Wang also asked Wang Lei, who was very sure about how Zheng killed people. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not be able to describe it in such detail."
What Manager Wang said was very clear.
He did not see the murder scene with his own eyes, but he saw Manager Zheng covered in blood.
And there is also Wang Lei’s words to support this.
The reason why he stood on Wang Lei's side was entirely out of compassion.
As soon as Manager Wang finished speaking, the people outside the hearing were in an uproar.
"Wow! This is no different from seeing it with your own eyes!"
"I didn't expect that Shopkeeper Zheng was so cruel! He dared to kill someone just for a prescription!"
"You know nothing! Is that an ordinary recipe?! That's pure silver! The cold noodles in the Moon Viewing Tower are so popular now! One or two hundred coins a bowl! That's eating cold noodles! That's eating silver! With so much money, it's normal to kill people!"
"It's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance. Didn't someone just say that Manager Zheng is kind? Now he's embarrassed!"
"I know why I have no money. It's mainly because I'm not as ruthless as others!"
''······''
No matter what people outside the door said, Manager Zheng's expression remained the same, without any change.
It's as if no one is talking about him.
Not only him, but Song Xin is the same.
Both of them knelt straight, giving people the feeling that there was an indescribable aura about them.
How could this person look like a murder suspect? This person looked even more righteous than the adults sitting in the hall.
Some people who did not follow the crowd looked at these two people and felt that there must be some hidden secret in this matter.
After the discussion died down, Zhang Quanhe looked at Manager Zheng and asked, "Do you have any defense for Wang Lei's statement?"
After Zheng kowtowed seriously, he said, "I was wrongly accused!"
Originally, after Manager Zheng was arrested, he was still very nervous.
Moreover, this incident also implicated Song Xin who helped him to clean up the mess. However, when he was in prison, he received a message from his young mistress, telling him not to worry, she would take care of everything.
Just tell the truth when you are in court.
Manager Zheng had already written down what happened and asked the person who came to take it to the young lady.
The young lady also replied to him, telling him not to worry.
Therefore, he was really not worried at all during the court hearing today.
No matter what those people said, he was not afraid.
He believed in his young lady unconditionally!
"Unjust? How were you wronged? Tell me in detail." Zhang Quanhe advocates fairness and justice. If the plaintiff is given a chance to speak, then the defendant will also be given a chance to speak.
