Chapter 427: Reversal of Confessions in Court
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“I announce that the court is officially in session. May 1 ask the accused, Wang Yue, did you bribe Zhou Nan and Old Wang six years ago to order them to attack the deceased Bai Ling?”
The presiding judge’s dignified tone sounded in the middle of the court.
Standing in the dock, Wang Yue slowly raised her head, looked at the faces of Mei Shu and the others, and sneered. “No.”
“She’s lying!” Mei Yan stood up excitedly.
“Be quiet!” The presiding judge said emotionlessly, “The police have submitted a complete chain of evidence to us, which contains the transfer records you have made to Old Wang and Zhou Nan over the years, as well as the recording in Old Wang’s phone. How should you explain it?”
“That’s… Old Wang was taking care of Mei Shu, so Mei Shu’s father asked me to transfer some money to Old Wang regularly. I didn’t mean anything else. As for the recording, 1 don’t know. It must be that mother and son framed me so that they could get away with their crimes!”
Wang Yue’s voice was a little trembling when she spoke. Obviously, she didn’t expect that this matter would be blown up one day after six years.
If she admitted it so easily, she would definitely die!
When she was interrogated in the police station, she was tricked by the police and accidentally let it slip.
Now was the only chance for her to find a way to retract her confession. She must not admit it!
“Hey, Wang Yue, how can you say that? You clearly instructed us to help you get rid of Bai Ling so that you can become the proper wife of the Mei family. Do you want us to be the scapegoat?”
Old Wang ignored the police officers around her and insisted on finishing her sentence.
This was a life-and-death matter!
She couldn’t let Wang Yue slander them!
“Be quiet! Watch the rules of the court!” The presiding judge glanced at Old Wang.
Although he didn’t deliberately look dignified, Old Wang was still so frightened that she shrank her neck.
After all, she was just an ignorant village woman and didn’t dare to offend such a high-ranking official at all!
The presiding judge turned his eyes to Wang Yue again. “According to the report provided by the police, your husband, Mr. Mei Yun, asks you to pay your daughter, Mei Shu, 5,000 yuan a month as the living expense, but you transfer 20,000 yuan a month to Old Wang.”
Wang Yue swallowed nervously and said, “That’s because Mei Shu was too young back then. As his stepmother, I thought that the child would have a difficult life in the countryside, so I gave the child more living expenses every month behind Mei Yun’s back.”
In the auditorium, Mei Shu’s breathing suddenly became heavier.
She had a living expense of five thousand yuan a month.
But Old Wang probably didn’t even spend one-tenth of her resources on her!
All the hardships she had suffered were caused by these two people!
“Calm down.” Lu Si saw her emotional fluctuations and quickly grabbed her wrist. “The most important thing now is to avenge your mother.”
Mei Shu looked up at him. After meeting his exceptionally bright and firm eyes, her heart miraculously calmed down.
“Then how do you explain that in the months before Mei Yun’s daughter, Mei Shu, was sent to the countryside, you were already transferring money to Old Wang?” The presiding judge’s voice turned colder. Obviously, he was used to this kind of criminal lying in court.
“That’s because…” Wang Yue was about to lie.
The presiding judge had lost his patience and his expression became even stricter. “Think carefully before you speak! This is the trial court. You’ve already come this far, which proves that your crime of hiring someone to deliberately kill Bai Ling has been proven. Lying now will only affect your sentencing.”
Wang Yue, who had been so confident just now, suddenly lost her confidence.
She heaved a long sigh of relief and her body was trembling. She closed her eyes and said, “I didn’t hire anyone to kill me. Someone framed me for all of this. Those police officers are in cahoots with Mei Shu! I confessed to them under torture. I’m innocent!”
“Forced confession?” The presiding judge winked at the two police officers standing behind Wang Yue.
The two of them immediately understood and went up to roll up Wang Yue’s sleeves.
The green and purple wounds that were still bleeding were completely exposed.
The presiding judge frowned imperceptibly. “Ask the criminal police brigade in charge of this case to submit ail the interrogation videos to the court immediately!”
For a moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on Wang Yue’s arm.
Mei Mu looked at his mother in disbelief. Obviously, he didn’t expect Wang Yue to do this.
But after the shock, there was joy in her eyes.
This might actually delay the sentencing, so that she and her mother would have more time to think of a way to completely get away with it!
As soon as Captain Wang received the notice, he knew what had happened.
Fortunately, he had been working cases for many years and was very experienced.
He had long known that Wang Yue wouldn’t confess obediently, so he was prepared and directly sent a video over.
This method was too low-level. As long as there were surveillance videos, the lie that Wang Yue had deliberately made up would be exposed.
In the judge’s seat, the presiding judge finished reading the surveillance video handed over by the police station expressionlessly, and his expression immediately turned terrifyingly cold..
