Chapter 1036 Perjury
The proprietress has money, and her heart is set.
She walked into the courtroom with Muzi, and sat in the public gallery waiting to be summoned to testify.
After the trial began, the prosecutor first summoned the witness, Xie's maid.
The prosecutor said: "Please tell everyone what you saw when the incident happened."
"I saw Miss Ning Yuewei pushing Master Xie Lixuan down from the window on the third floor." The maid said, "The floor spacing of Xie's house is high, and the banquet hall on the first floor alone is as high as an ordinary three-story building. Although it is on the third floor, it is equivalent to a five-story building. He fell and knocked on the concrete edge of the flower garden downstairs, and broke his neck at that time..."
"Did Miss Ning Yuewei explain it afterwards?" the prosecutor asked.
The maid shook her head: "Miss Ning Yuewei ran away without any explanation."
"Why do you think she ran?"
The maid replied hesitantly, "Maybe it's because she's afraid...or because she doesn't know how to face it."
The prosecutor nodded and looked at the judge: "Your Honor, I'm done asking."
It was Mu Zi's turn to cross-examine.
She was no different from usual, her eyes were calm and her expression was focused.
"Can you tell me what you were doing when the incident happened?" Mu Zi asked.
The maid replied: "I'm cleaning in the backyard. The temperature has dropped recently and there are many fallen leaves in the garden."
Mu Zi followed her words and continued to ask: "Sweeping the floor should be done with your head down. You with your head down, why did you see the scene upstairs?"
The maid explained: "I heard Miss Ning screaming..."
"You heard the screaming, looked up, and saw my client pushing Xie Lixuan down?" Mu Zi tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Screaming and pushing people?"
"At that time, the young master had already fallen," said the maid.
Mu Zi nodded: "So you didn't see my client push him down, you just saw Xie Lixuan fall, and my client stood by the window, am I right?"
"No, that's not the case, the young master was pushed down by her!" The maid anxiously stretched out her arms, "At that time, Miss Ning's two arms were stretched like this, as if she didn't have time to retract them after pushing someone."
"But this action is also suitable for saving people." Mu Zi said lightly, "The moment Xie Lixuan fell, my client wanted to grab him, but he couldn't catch him, and watched him fall. My client was terrified, so Scream, that's how it's supposed to be, right?"
"No! It's really the young master she pushed!" The maid explained eagerly, "Maybe I remembered wrongly, the screaming may have happened after I saw it, everything happened too fast at that time, as soon as I looked up, I saw the young master being pushed by her." Push down the window! I'm telling the truth!"
"You said you misremembered..." Mu Zi chewed on the words, "Why don't you think you misread it? How far were you from that building when the incident happened?"
Being questioned made the maid feel aggrieved, she bit her lip and replied, "About... more than eighty meters."
Mu Zi said: "Shouldn't people's facial features be seen clearly from this distance?"
"She is Miss Ning, wearing Miss Ning's clothes and hat, it must be her!"
Mu Zi nodded lightly: "So you didn't see who the other party was, you just saw the clothes and hat. Your Honor, I'm done questioning, and I request to summon our witnesses."
Mu Zi has already shaken the credibility of the witness's testimony, and next, as long as the alibi is established, Ning Yuewei will definitely be cleared of the suspicion.
The proprietress of the commissary took the witness stand.
Mu Zi held Ning Yuewei's photo and asked her: "On the evening of October 17th, have you seen this woman?"
The proprietress shook her head: "I don't remember."
Mu Zi was stunned.
At this time, the proprietress went on to say: "I know, I should say that I met her. After all, you gave me 18,000 yuan, but false testimony is against the law, so I really can't promise you."
