Chapter 848 Walnut Grove
Police officer Zhang Suming on the witness stand laughed with disdain.
"The head was buried in the soil of the flowerbed, and some insect eggs stuck to it. I don't think it's unusual." He said mockingly, "Miss Lawyer, I don't know if you have ever seen that kind of rotten corpse full of maggots. Some of those fished out of the water were covered with snails and clams, could maggots, snails, and clams also be key evidence?"
There was faint laughter from the auditorium.
"..." Mu Zi's expression froze slightly.
She wanted to say: Of course I have.
Mu Zi turned around, returned to the defense seat silently, picked up another stack of documents from the table, and distributed them to witnesses, prosecutors, judges, and the jury.
The first page of the information is a photo of a rotten head. After the photo is enlarged, several insect eggs can be seen attached to the head.
The second page of the information is the appraisal report issued by the National Entomological Research Institute.
"This is an egg called Ginkgo moth, which belongs to the genus Juglandia genus Lepidoptera, and it is also a common economic forest fruit pest. The eggs are concentrated or arranged in a single layer. They will choose old ginkgo trunks that are leeward to the sun. , or spawn on walnut trees."
After Mu Zi finished speaking, she emphasized again: "They only lay eggs on ginkgo trees or walnut trees, and as far as I know, no such trees were planted in the villa where the heads were excavated! No ginkgo or walnut trees were found either!"
"Maybe it came by accident." The police officer retorted, "It's like when we open the doors and windows in summer, there will always be a few moths flying in."
"Did they lay eggs after flying into your house?" Mu Zi smiled, "Maybe they wanted to do this very much, but before they had time, they were beaten to the ground by the mighty and extraordinary police officer."
"Objection! Defense lawyers are suppressing witnesses!" The prosecutor stood up again, brows filled with anxiety.
Mu Zi looked innocent and looked at the judge: "I just think the witnesses don't know enough about the habits of this moth. The identification report clearly states that this type of moth will only lay eggs on the host plant, just like many swallowtails. The host plant is Aristolochia, if there is no Aristolochia plant, will they go to other plants to lay eggs? No, they will not, they will just die."
The prosecutor retorted with a black face: "Even so, the defendant's suspicion cannot be cleared! Maybe he was buried in a place with a walnut tree at the beginning, and then felt unsafe, and then thought of his powerful brother-in-law, he thought To get shelter, I quickly moved to that villa! These bug eggs can't explain anything!"
Unmoved, Mu Zi pointed to the document in his hand and said, "Please take a look at the back, thank you."
The opposing prosecutor was slightly stunned, his face blank for a moment.
"In order to protect the environment and save paper, I printed the rest of the content on the back." Mu Zi smiled and said, "It can be easier to hold."
No one appreciates her humor, and the prosecutor's face is only dark to the bottom, almost turning black into the bottom of the pot.
On the back of the document is a map of Jingling City, one of which is circled in red.
The jury members looked at each other, wondering why the last piece of evidence was a map.
"In the southwestern part of Jingling City, there is a place called Yu'an Town, where a large walnut forest is planted, and walnuts are also the main source of income for the town." They will spray a drug containing hypertonic fenoxycarb emulsifiable oil on the walnut forest, this ingredient was also found in the autopsy, but—"
Mu Zi looked at Zhang Suming who was on the witness stand.
"However, in order to reduce the burden on the prosecutor, police officer Zhang Suming, relying on his so-called experience, screened out this important clue from the autopsy report!"
