The crowd outside the door was furious, shouting "that's right" and at the same time condemning Duan Zhixuan with their eyes.

Duan Zhixuan suddenly became the target of public criticism. He was manic, violent, forcing others into trouble, and a murderer...a series of bad words were all plastered on his face.

Listening to the louder and louder accusations outside, the anger in Duan Zhixuan's heart was about to burst out. It was hard to avoid being impulsive. He simply closed his eyes and silently recited in his heart over and over again: Impulse is the devil, don't be impulsive...

Wang Yu looked at Duan Zhixuan and saw that he was as steady as a rock. He suddenly felt that Duan Zhixuan had matured a lot overnight, and he felt happy in his heart.

She stood silently, neither stopping nor saying anything, quietly watching the people yelling and cursing.

Su Wei couldn't see it, so he picked up the gavel and slapped it hard: "Quiet."

Hearing the noise, the people became quiet.

Su Wei looked at Wang Yu: "What else can you say?"

"Of course."

Wang Yu faced Zhang Dacheng directly and said slowly: "The Duan and Zhang families had already discussed the marriage, but the day before the gifts were sent, the Zhang family suddenly announced that they would cancel the engagement and return the tokens.

"Duan Zhixuan didn't understand. He came to inquire but was turned away. In desperation, he had no choice but to ask me to ask Zhang Yudie to come out and ask clearly.

"We met at Zuixianglou, and Zhang Yudie's brother Zhang Dacheng accompanied her.

"Zhang Dacheng said that Duan Zhixuan's official position was too low and he had no future. It was too unfair for his sister to marry him, so he wanted to break off the engagement..."

"You're talking nonsense." Zhang Dacheng shouted: "This is obviously not the case, you are talking nonsense."

Wang Yu was neither impatient nor impatient, and looked at him calmly: "I said that there is no room for lies in the court. Whether what I said is true or false will be revealed in the end."

Zhang Dacheng had a meal.

Wang Yu continued: "Duan Zhixuan didn't believe what Zhang Dacheng said, so he went to ask Zhang Yudie. Zhang Yudie only said that he should follow the words of his parents and brothers and that she could not make the decision.

"Zhang's father is just a small military household. Zhang Dacheng spends all his time idle and has no serious job.

"Duan Zhixuan's father was a judicial clerk in Taiyuan, and Duan Zhixuan was a brigade commander who was highly regarded by the Duke of Tang.

"With such a family background, you all know who is high up.

"So Duan Zhixuan believed that the Zhang family was forcing Zhang Yudie to break off their engagement, and he had a dispute with them. In anger, he even said the words, 'If you listen to your brother, you will regret it sooner or later.'

"It's nothing important. It's just an angry remark. It's ridiculous if someone with ulterior motives uses it to accuse Duan Zhixuan of murder.

"Everyone has moments when he is unbearably angry, and someone has said something more ferocious than this. Does it mean that if I am angry today and say 'go to hell' to Duke Tang, does that mean I will kill Duke Tang?

"Besides, there are many ways to 'regret', and killing is just one of them. Who can be sure that making a person regret means killing him?

"Can't you live a free and unrestrained life, with a high official position and a generous salary, a loving husband and wife, a family full of children and grandchildren, and make each other mad to death?

"In this way, making the other person envious, jealous and hateful every day can relieve the hatred more than killing the other person."

When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense. Instead of killing someone and sending him to a cell, where he would make the other person angry to death and relieve his anger, he could live a happy life.

If they were asked to choose, they would definitely choose to piss each other off. How big of a deal is that? They wouldn't be able to get married. They would just find another one.

The Zhang family's cheeks felt hot at Wang Yu's words, and they avoided her gaze with a guilty conscience.

Su Wei paused, cleared his throat and said, "Although this does not confirm that Duan Zhixuan is the murderer, it does mean that he had the motive for the murder, and there were witnesses who witnessed him murder."

Seeing Su Wei looking over, the strong man selling lotus lanterns said: "That night, I happened to be setting up a stall by the lake, and I saw him push the deceased into the lake with my own eyes."

The strong man pointed at Duan Zhixuan.

"I sprayed you with dog shit. I didn't even touch Yudie that night, so why did I push her?" Duan Zhixuan couldn't hold it back anymore and cursed loudly.

Everyone: "..."

The strong man was so frightened that he stepped back, stumbled and fell on his back.

Everyone: "..."

Wang Yu pressed his temples and couldn't bear to look directly. He felt that Duan Zhixuan had matured and was slapped in the face. However, being scolded was really relaxing.

Su Dan took the opportunity to shout: "Weng Weng, he is intimidating the witness."

Tang Jian immediately answered: "Duan Zhixuan was just angry because he was wronged. He lost his temper and cursed. Why did he intimidate the witness?

"Su Tan, please don't distort the facts. Although the deputy left behind is old, he is not deaf."

Su Dan: "..."

Su Wei: "..."

This sounds okay, but why do you feel so uncomfortable after hearing it?

Su Wei felt his chest was congested and didn't want to scold him anymore.

Wang Yu signaled Duan Zhixuan to be calm, and then asked the strong man: "You said you saw Duan Zhixuan pushing the deceased into the lake with your own eyes. Please describe the situation in detail to everyone."

The strong man got up, rolled his eyes twice, and said calmly: "It was probably Xu Zheng at that time. I saw Duan Zhixuan and the others coming back. When the deceased was not paying attention, Duan Zhixuan pushed the deceased from behind, and then they

Fleeed the scene."

Wang Yu asked: "Since you saw the deceased being pushed into the lake, why didn't you rescue him immediately?"

"Yes, if you rescue her in time, you may still survive." Someone in the crowd shouted.

A trace of panic flashed in the eyes of the strong man, and then he said loudly: "I don't know how to swim, but I helped to call someone. Unfortunately, the lake was too cold, and the girl was already out of breath when she was rescued."

"That's it. It's just that girl's bad luck..." one hundred people said.

The strong man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Yu glanced at him and confirmed: "Are you sure you are not telling lies?"

The strong man immediately responded: "No, what I said is all the truth."

What I want is your words.

Wang Yu smiled: "Everyone heard clearly, what he just said was that we returned to Bibo Lake in Xuzheng.

"That night, Duan Zhixuan, Tang Jian and I left Bibo Lake at 3:00 a.m., and then returned to Tang Guogong's Mansion.

"We passed by a pastry shop on the way, and we went to buy the pineapple cakes that Mrs. Changsun loved to eat. The shopkeeper and the waiter were there at the time, and they can testify.

"Oh, by the way, that time was exactly Xu Zheng."

Hearing this, Tang Jian and Duan Zhixuan's eyes flashed together.

The strong man's face froze, and he looked at Su Wei again after realizing it. Seeing that his face was livid, he quickly said: "No, I remembered wrong, it was the end of Xu Shi."

After saying this, seeing Su Wei's expression softening, the strong man suddenly felt confident.

Duan Zhixuan scolded: "You kid, you are obviously telling lies, and you said you remembered it wrong.

"Tell me, did someone instruct you to slander us?"

The strong man subconsciously took another step back and said calmly: "I...I'm not telling lies, I just remembered it wrong."

"Okay, let's just assume that you remembered it wrong." Wang Yu did not pursue the issue, but solemnly confirmed with him again: "I will ask you one last time, are you sure it was at the end of Xu Shi that you saw the three of us leaving and coming back, and then

Duan Zhixuan pushed Zhang Yudie into the water from behind, causing Zhang Yudie to drown?"

The strong man listened carefully. She emphasized the three words "Xu Shi Mo". Just now he also heard the time of death mentioned by Wu Zuo. He thought about her words carefully again and made sure there was no problem. Then he raised his head and answered proudly: "I

Sure."
