Chapter 28: Laughing and Crying

  It wasn't until more than 20 minutes later that Liu Mei Mei, a witness who was no longer a witness, was finally brought into the courtroom.

  The situation evolved into such a bizarre scene, although strange and unbelievable, the presiding judge still decided to continue the trial. At the same time, Ye Feng also saw the presiding judge call two bailiffs to his side, whispering a few words before the two bailiffs hastily left the courtroom.

  Ye Feng knew that the presiding judge must have let the two bailiffs go out to work with other staff members to rush to Liu Yong's home and investigate whether what Liu Yong said was true.

  The presiding judge made another phone call and then announced the continuation of the trial. Ye Feng guessed that he was reporting to his superiors and seeking instructions on emergency special situations, and should have received support from his superiors.

  After all, Ye Feng's case has evolved to this point, it is no longer a simple criminal trial, involving police breaking the law, involving coerced confessions, and even involving some high-ranking officials.

  The presiding judge tried to remain calm in his expression, but the turmoil and shock in his heart were enormous. Having worked on this job for over a decade, it was still the first time he had encountered such a bizarre turn of events.

  The judge banged his gavel heavily and motioned for everyone to be quiet. Then, he had Liu Meimei brought into the witness stand.

  Running into Liu Meimei again, and in this setting, facing the woman he had once fallen for at first sight, secretly pined for, Ye Feng's only thought now was sympathy, without any other emotions, not even a hint of nostalgia or reminiscence for past feelings.

  Yes, by this time, Ye Feng had begun to sympathize with Liu Mei Mei. He felt that she had paid a lot, except for ** and youth, she had even paid her conscience, but in the end, she couldn't get anything.

  Liu Mei saw Liu Yong kneeling in front of Ye Feng, and she, unaware of the situation, clearly showed a flustered and tense expression. She glanced at Ye Feng hastily and then dodged his gaze, inexplicably feeling a sense of fear in her heart.

  At this time, Ye Feng was too lazy to say anything else to her and loudly shouted at her: "Liu Meimei, you look at me."

  Liu Meimei subconsciously raised her head to look at Ye Feng, and when her frightened gaze met with Ye Feng's, he immediately cast a soul-capturing spell on him.

  Then, another shocking scene played out in front of everyone in the courtroom.

  The big reversal play directed by Ye Feng also opened the wonderful second act.

  Like Liu Yong, Liu Mei's face was pale and her whole body trembled as she knelt in front of Ye Feng, knocking three loud heads on the ground, even more fiercely than Liu Yong, with blood flowing from her forehead.

  "Yefeng, I'm sorry. It was my fault that harmed you. I blindly believed Liu Yong's words and pushed all the blame onto you. I was blinded by my own desires, I was shameless and greedy for wealth and status. I became Wang Dawei's mistress for three years, and later became Liu Yong's third wife, even though he already had a wife. It was because I thought Liu Yong was a powerful police chief and his father was a high-ranking official that I shamelessly clung to him. I stabbed Wang Dawei once, but it wasn't fatal because I didn't hit any vital organs. It was Liu Yong who delivered the final blows to Wang Dawei's heart, killing him. After the incident, framing you for the crime was all his idea. At first, I disagreed, but he beat me and threatened me. He took all of Wang Dawei's hidden diamonds and jewels, only giving me a jade necklace, which I didn't dare wear and left in my rental house. Yefeng, I was wrong. Like you, I'm just a country girl who went to college, but I was lazy and afraid of poverty. I yearned for a wealthy material life, and that's why I ended up doing something so heinous. Yefeng, Liu Yong's father is a high-ranking government official, which is why his subordinates, the forensic doctor, and the funeral home were all willing to cooperate with him. They're all afraid of the Liu family and want to curry favor with them by framing you. In this matter, I, Liu Yong, the forensic doctors, and the police are all despicable, worse than animals. I beg for your forgiveness. Even if you won't forgive me, I hope you won't hold a grudge against me for the rest of your life."

  Ye Feng quietly listened to Liu Meimei's words, although her words seemed to be directed at him alone, but everyone in the courtroom heard them.

  At this time, Ye Feng was too lazy to look at Liu Yong and Liu Mei's ugly appearance, but instead looked at Qin Yan, smiled at her.

  Qin Yan still had a dull expression, her inner shock was unspeakable, and her usually logical brain couldn't turn at this moment. Seeing Ye Feng smile at her, she also smiled back at him.

  Qin Yan's smile was somewhat stiff, more shock and doubt.

  Yes, at this time, Ye Feng could also confirm that Qin Yan must have felt that she had really lost the bet to him. Ye Feng didn't know what she would think in her heart, but he could make one thing clear: from now on, in Qin Yan's mind, he was no longer the migrant worker Ye Feng who lived at the bottom of society and unfortunately became a murder suspect.

  After this, it was clear that the trial could no longer proceed according to normal procedures.

  The bailiffs and court personnel went to Liu Yong's home to collect evidence, which would obviously take a long time, and also required some procedures, so the presiding judge decided to adjourn the court temporarily.

  At this time, Ye Feng actually didn't want to adjourn the court, because Liu Yong and Liu Mei's soul-capturing technique had a time limit, and it would automatically be lifted after 50 minutes.

  Ye Feng immediately contacted the spatial law through his consciousness and asked if he could use the four values to extend the Soul Capture Technique that was applied to Liu Yong and Liu Mei.

  The law gave Ye Feng a reply that made Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief. The answer was affirmative, yes, completely possible.

  Ye Feng didn't hesitate at all and immediately exchanged three points of merit value and three points of evil value, extending the duration of Liu Yong's and Liu Mei's Soul Capture Technique by 150 minutes each.

  This time should be enough.

  On the other hand, Qin Yan, who had recovered from her emotional state at this time, timely proposed to the presiding judge that in order to prevent witnesses Liu Yong and Liu Mei from transmitting the sudden changes and progress of the case to the outside through mobile phones or other means during the recess, the court must closely monitor the movements of the two witnesses. As the defense lawyer for the defendant, it is necessary to assign someone to supervise the entire process, and also request that the evidence of murder voluntarily provided by the witness during the trial be safely delivered to the court as soon as possible.

  Qin Yan's proposal was reasonable, just and completely necessary, so the presiding judge agreed without any hesitation.

  More than an hour later, the recess ended and the trial resumed.

  Liu Yong and Liu Mei, who were still under the control of the soul-capturing technique, exceptionally cooperated with the police, court staff, and evidence brought back by the armed police and Mingzhu City Public Security Bureau police dispatched from their superiors, one by one, to identify and explain.

  The case has now been thoroughly clarified and the truth is fully revealed.

  At this moment, Ye Feng couldn't shed a single tear.

  At this moment, Ye Feng was filled with contempt and resentment towards this society, so-called law and justice.

  Ye Feng hated it when he thought that if he were replaced by someone else, without the Nine Stars Space and without the Soul Capturing Technique, his ultimate fate would only be one.

  Sentenced to death.

  It wasn't the judge, nor Qin Yan, nor fairness, nor justice, nor law, nor even those so-called pieces of evidence that truly saved him.

  But it was the Soul-Capturing Technique, but it was the Nine-Star Space, but it was the Tianyuan True Immortal, and it was the good fortune and opportunity of cultivation that he obtained in the midst of obscurity.

  The sudden change in the case and the dramatic reversal made Ye Feng's case a joke in the end.

  A highly ironic joke.

  But all of this has nothing to do with Yefeng anymore.

  With conclusive evidence and in full view of the public, Liu Yong and Liu Meimei's fate was sealed. They changed from witnesses to defendants and were taken away by police officers from the Mingzhu City Bureau without notifying the Yangtze River Branch.

  The next thing is time.

  Even if the soul-capturing technique's effect wears off and Liu Yong and Liu Mei Mei regain their clarity, they will still be powerless to change the situation once they learn of it from others. At that time, no matter how much they deny it, they won't be able to deny the ironclad evidence.

  This time leaving the court and returning to the detention center, his mother finally smiled, Ye Feng's colleagues also finally smiled, including the leader Du Lijun who came with great pressure this time.

  Qin Yan, after the trial ended, immediately found Ye Feng and grabbed his hand without regard for the impact, looking at him with an indescribably complex gaze that lasted for several minutes before finally saying: "Ye Feng, I lost. Remember our bet, you come out first, I'll fulfill the bet first, I'll treat you to dinner first, as for you treating me to dinner, we'll talk about it later, you must remember! Also, I've already brought Auntie to my home to live with me, don't worry, in the next few days, I'll expedite the court proceedings and push for a final verdict, so that you can get out of detention as soon as possible."

  Ye Feng tightly grasped Qin Yan's hand and smiled: "Attorney Qin, if you're inviting me to dinner, can I choose what to eat?"

  Qin Yan smiled and said, "Of course, no matter what you eat, I can afford it."

  "Yeh Feng slammed his mouth loudly and said: 'After being in the detention center for so long, every day is just plain porridge and rice. When I get out, I must go to Yu Hua Road near our construction site, a bowl of fragrant Za Jiang Mian at a shop, eat a big bowl of Za Jiang Mian, which costs 5 yuan per bowl, it's very delicious, I can eat two bowls by myself.'"

  As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, Qin Yan, who had always been like a strong woman in front of him, suddenly burst into tears.

  In front of Ye Feng's mother and a group of workers, she cried so unscrupulously.

  Ye Feng wanted to say a few words of comfort, but at this time, he couldn't say anything.

  Two minutes later, Qin Yan wiped away her tears and smiled: "Alright, Ye Feng, as long as you can eat it, I'll treat you to ten bowls, a hundred bowls is no problem."

  Ye Feng smiled and stopped talking.

  At this time, Qin Yan wiped away her tears, and because her eye shadow was moistened by her tears, she left two black marks on her eyelids and cheeks.

  But for some reason, looking at Qin Yan who was laughing and crying at the same time, Ye Feng's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He suddenly felt that in this world, there wasn't another woman who could be more beautiful than Qin Yan at this moment...
