Chapter 848： Walnut forest

Officer Zhang Suming on the witness stand laughed with a disdainful expression.

"The head is buried in the soil of the flowerbed, and some insect eggs are stuck. I don't think it is unusual." He said mockingly, "Lawyer, I wonder if you have ever seen a corpse that is so rotting and full of maggots. Those fished out of the water are covered with snails and clams. Can maggots, snails, and clams also become key evidence?"

There was a faint laughter from the auditorium.

"..." Mu Zi's expression was slightly stiff.

She wanted to say: Of course I have seen it.

Mu Zi turned around, returned to the defense bench in silence, picked up another pile of materials from the table, and distributed it to the twelve witnesses, prosecutors, judges, and jury again.

The first page of the information is a photo of a decomposed head. After the photo is enlarged, you can see several eggs attached to the head.

The second page of the data is an identification report issued by the National Institute of Entomology.

"This is a kind of egg called Ginkgo biloba moth, belonging to the genus Juglans genus of the Lepidoptera lycopteridae family. It is also a common economic fruit pest. The eggs are concentrated or arranged in a single layer. They will choose the old ginkgo trunk that is leeward and sunny. , Or lay eggs on the walnut tree."

After Mu Zi finished speaking, he emphasized again: "They only lay their eggs on ginkgo or walnut trees, and as far as I know, no such trees were planted in the villa where the skull was dug! Not only that, but a few miles away. No ginkgo or walnut trees were found!"

"Maybe it came by accident." The police officer retorted. "It's like when we open doors and windows in summer, there are always so many moths flying in."

"Did they lay eggs after flying into your house?" Mu Zi smiled, "Maybe they wanted to do this, but before they could have time, they were slapped by the mighty police officer."

"No! The defense lawyer is suppressing witnesses!" The prosecutor stood up again, his 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. It is clearly written in the appraisal report that this kind of moth will only lay eggs on the host plant, just like many swallowtail butterflies. The host plant of Aristolochia is aristolochia. If there is no aristolochia, would they lay eggs on other plants? No, they won't, they will just die."

The prosecutor retorted with a sullen face: "Even so, the defendant's suspicion cannot be cleared! Maybe he was buried in a place with walnut trees at the beginning, and then felt unsafe, and then thought of his powerful brother-in-law, he thought To get shelter, he quickly moved to that villa! These worm eggs can't explain any problems!"

Mu Zi remained unmoved, pointed to the information in his hand, and said, "Please look at the back, thank you."

The other prosecutor was slightly stunned, with a momentary blankness on his face.

"For the sake of environmental protection and saving paper, I printed the rest of the content on the back." Mu Zi smiled and said, "You can pick it up easily."

No one appreciates her humor, and the prosecutor's face is only dark to the end, almost black.

The reverse of the data is a map of Jingling City, one of which is circled in red.

The people on the jury looked at each other, wondering why the final evidence was a map.

"In the southwest of Jingling City, there is a place called Yu'an Town, where a large walnut forest is planted. Walnuts are also the main source of income for the town." Mu Zi said, "In order to control the ginkgo silkworm moth, people in this town Everyone would spray the walnut forest with a drug containing hypertonic fenoxycarb EC. This ingredient was also found in autopsy, but—

Mu Zi looked at Zhang Suming on the witness stand.

"But in order to reduce the burden on the prosecutors, Police Officer Zhang Suming used his so-called experience to screen out this important clue from the autopsy report!"
