【Multi | FULL】EP10 iang Ting’s Lies Exposed! ⚖️ Who Set the Trap? |正当防卫 Justifiable defense| iQIYI
[Justifiable Defense] [Episode 10] By the time I am released, the rainy season should be over. You won’t hire a lawyer? You plan to get out of here on your own? I can defend myself at the hearing. Defend yourself? You’re locked up in here every day. How will you defend yourself? Locked up in here, I don’t know what’s happening
in the outside world. But there is someone who will bring me information from outside. Me? I rearrange and analyze the information you bring me to find potential possibilities. Write it down. So what possibilities have you found? The human eye is very sensitive to light. Mei Zheng once said she witnessed the entire crime, using a beam of light to distinguish
between two knives. But in Jiang Ting’s testimony, there was no mention of this light. So there are two possibilities. First, Mei Zheng didn’t use a flashlight. Second, she never witnessed the murder at all. Mei Zheng anticipated that Zhang Yuan would eventually
find Jiang Ting. She only needed to keep fueling the flames of revenge
in Jiang Ting’s heart. and then watch it happen. When Jiang Ting committed the murder, she came out and testified that her actions were justifiable defense. Then a perfect revenge was finished. There’s just one thing I’m still
not sure about. Did Mei Zheng just want to have
Zhang Yuan killed for revenge or did she also plan to send Jiang Ting to prison at the same time? No matter which possibility it is, the most crucial evidence now should be with Mei Zheng. Are the handcuffs uncomfortable? I’ve never had the chance before to examine handcuffs so carefully. There are three metal rings in the middle, connecting the cuffs on both sides and restraining a person here. If the two ends of the handcuffs
represent Li Mufeng and Jiang Ting, then the metal ring connecting them
in the middle is Mei Zheng. Deputy Chief Prosecutor Fang, would you like hot or cold water? Hot water, thank you. Is this where you saw
into Jiang Ting’s home? Thank you. Zheng. You seem quite nervous every time
you see me. May I ask why? You seem to have no problem communicating with others. Because they’re just ordinary people, but you’re here to interrogate me. So how do you communicate with Li Mufeng? With Jiang Ting? And with Duan Hongshan? Or do you just tell people what they want to hear? You’re joking around. Is that funny? I never joke during an interrogation. Actually, before you took over this case, I had some contact with a prosecutors. I know, Director Duan. But he’s a suspect now, so I need you to explain your relationship with Jiang Ting to me again. Okay. We were schoolmates in high school. So was I. She was even my classmate. But I wouldn’t go to her home to cook. Neither would I. Really? You wouldn’t? Did you get to know about Jiang Ting’s situation long ago? All her neighbors knew. But they surely didn’t know
about the past of you, Jiang Ting, and Zhang Yuan, right? Well. Just because he was Jiang Ting’s husband, my contact with her made me an accomplice, and everything I did was taking revenge? I don’t mean that. Zheng. I know that the past 14 years must have been really hard for you. It’s time for you to come up from underwater, take a good breath, and look at yourself. Many people went through misfortunes as they grew up. I had those experiences too. So I understand your reluctance
to move forward. [Mei Zheng is a slut who caused my son’s
death and I’ll never forgive you.] You can’t get over it and you feel dead inside. It seems as if there were only two ways that could save us. The first is to get back what was lost. [Petitioner] [Witness] I just want to tell the truth. The second is to destroy what we hate. Do you feel so? I also rose from misfortune before. So, I want to tell you, maybe there’s a third choice for you. Have you thought about it? We only live once. We can’t be troubled by the past forever. Zheng. What you’re trying to get back now is dangerous. I can’t do nothing about it. What you’re trying to cover up is exactly what I’m good at uncovering. Please, you have to believe me. What I’m telling you is not my baseless speculation. I ask you again. Were you and Jiang Ting conspirators? You made so many dishes for me, yet you’re leaving. The kid is asleep? Don’t worry too much. If anything unexpected happens, call me immediately. I’ll come by more these days. How about this? I’ll install a camera across the way to record everything constantly. That way, we’ll have evidence. If he really comes and hurt you, we’ll give the video to the police. You can report him for domestic violence, and he’ll have to agree to divorce you. I just wanted to help her. Help her kill Zhang Yuan? I… I wanted her to have a different life. So all of this was your plan. I… I don’t know. I didn’t expect things would
turn out like this. I just wanted to help her break free. So what was your expectation? Or what was your plan? We anticipated Zhang Yuan would come after her
sooner or later. But he came earlier than expected. What could we do? Zhang Yuan not only came earlier but he also beat Jiang Ting. So the situation spiraled out of control. Jiang Ting had no choice but to
grab a knife and fight back, stabbing Zhang Yuan seven times in a row. At that time, your plan had to change. Right? We didn’t have a plan. And you have no evidence. Zheng. When I said I understand how you felt, I meant it. I genuinely want to help you. But the premise is that you must be willing to save yourself. What you did for Jiang Ting was
returning kindness for cruelty. You’ve done so much for her. I’m truly impressed. I just feel so much sympathy for her. And this time, her actions were indeed
justifiable defense. What about the evidence? Can you give me the evidence now? Fang. Since Mei Zheng has the video, why didn’t she hand it earlier? If you had been her who had recorded a video that’s so blurry, would you have submitted it? The light! Can you please stay calm? You scared me. I’m sorry. That beam of light Mei Zheng mentioned
really isn’t there. So, Duan Hongshan’s inference was correct. Though Mei Zheng didn’t admit it herself, I think she most likely committed perjury. No wonder she specifically pointed out Zhang Yuan at the hearing, right? Mei Zheng had already set everything up, but things didn’t go as she had planned. In that case, what Mei Zheng did constitutes
preparation for a crime. But if the crime remained at the preparation stage, and Mei Zheng had the motive
to kill Zhang Yuan, but due to unexpected circumstances, the action was terminated, and the objective evidence shows that a new danger appeared, then how should we determine the nature
of Jiang Ting’s actions? There was an unplanned real danger. How should Jiang Ting’s actions
be determined? That’s me? It’s you, your home, your balcony, and your husband Zhang Yuan. After stabbing him the first time, you stabbed him six more times, and he died. It’s so blurry, How can you be sure it’s me? Then let’s wait for the video
to be restored. It can be restored? Once it’s restored, take a closer look at it. Look carefully and you’ll know my actions were indeed
justifiable defense. I will watch it carefully. whether your actions were
justifiable defense isn’t up to you to decide. We only base our judgment on facts. Fourteen years ago, I was your class monitor. Now, you’re the prosecutor judging me. I can’t judge you. I can only characterize your actions. My characterization is based on truth. So, I hope you will tell me everything you know in complete detail. I can’t save you. Only you can save yourself. Am I making myself clear? That woman who should have been my enemy… It was she who pulled me out of the abyss. [Qianhu Avenue, Xinhu West Road] [Qianhu Avenue, Xinhu West Road] I met you at the aquarium. You swam really well. I work there thanks to you. You can’t hold a baby like that, If you keep covering him this way, he’ll suffocate. Which bus do you take? Route 28. Go home. I’m not going back. We’re not going back. Not going. [Qianhu Avenue, Xinhu West Road] Look. I bought this for you. You can keep it at home. It’ll bring some life to the place. This fish is called a blue gourami fish. It… Hello. Jiang Ting. How dare you! How dare you run away with my child! Let me tell you, I will definitely find you. Divorce? Don’t even think about it. I’ve torn up the divorce papers. You lunatic! What’s wrong? He was yelling at me. Called me crazy. He said that how dare I run away
with the child again, and that he would definitely find me. He tore up the divorce papers. He won’t divorce me. He said I was his lucky charm. He’ll never let me go. What’s wrong, Jiang Ting? Jiang Ting. Jiang Ting! Calm down. What are you doing? What are you doing? I’m going to fight him to the death. Jiang Ting! I’ll die with him if I have to. Calm down! You’ve lost your mind! I’m not crazy. If I don’t do this, I’ll never escape from him. What about your child? -Get out of the way.
-What about the baby? What about me? What if he comes? Do I have to keep being beaten, scolded, and mentally tortured by him
for the rest of my life? -I don’t want this.
-I don’t want to live like this. I want to kill him! I’ll kill him! Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me. If you go kill him, that’s intentional homicide. But if he comes and you kill him, it’s justifiable defense. Understand? Understand? Justifiable defense? I thought I would have to live like that forever. In your current situation, I do sympathize with you. The video evidence isn’t clear enough for me to make a right judgment. Let’s do this. Find some third parties
unrelated to the case, and have them watch the footage
very carefully. Document their responses. Deputy Chief Prosecutor Fang. Are you doing this to go against
Jiang Ting? I’m just doing what
a prosecutor should do. Thank you for your hard work. Thanks. Prosecutor. Take a look at this. Okay, good job. [No Smoking] Fang. Notify everyone to convene a joint meeting. Okay. [I. Video analysis] Fellow prosecutors. This is the video footage of the incident
provided by the witness. Regarding Jiang Ting’s case
of killing her husband, I’d like all to share your opinions. That night, when Zhang Yuan broke into
Jiang Ting’s home, he was carrying a knife. Jiang Ting was facing
a serious threat to her life. Therefore, I still maintain
it was justifiable defense. A key criterion for justifiable defense is the immediacy of the unlawful threat. When Jiang Ting stabbed Zhang Yuan
for the first time, he had already lost his ability to attack, and her crisis was already over. However, she continued and stabbed Zhang Yuan six more times. Therefore, I believe these six stabs can definitely be classified
as intentional assault. Last night, we collected the subjective descriptions of the same video footage from five groups of third parties. Please take a look. Group one said Jiang Ting stabbed Zhang Yuan
viciously with a knife. [Jiang Ting is suspected of intentional homicide]
[Video Evidence Analysis Report] After he fell down, she continued stabbing him ferociously six times in a row. Group two said Zhang Yuan held a knife and cornered Jiang Ting on the balcony. Jiang Ting was terrified and seemed to have closed her eyes. She then stabbed Zhang Yuan. After seven stabs, she opened her eyes. Different people have different biases. We always talk about being objective, but how many people can be absolutely objective? I’ve read the latest interrogation
transcript. It shows Jiang Ting has admitted that if Zhang Yuan dared to come to her home, even killing him would count as justifiable defense. Doesn’t this further prove she had the intention to kill? And she did buy a new knife. This does fit the criteria for
crime preparation. But remember, before the incident, Jiang Ting was receiving nearly twenty calls from Zhang Yuan every day. Nearly twenty calls every day for several months. In other words, Jiang Ting was living in constant fear that Zhang Yuan might appear at
any moment. So isn’t it possible that the knife was for her self-defense? We need to consider what kind of situation would make Jiang Ting feel she needed
a knife for protection. We always emphasize whether
an action is justifiable defense depends on the immediacy
of the unlawful threat. If the unlawful threat hasn’t come but is very imminent, can one fight back? Or if the unlawful threat has ended but the danger still exists, can one fight back? In such cases, there should be another criterion
for judgment, which is the last opportunity. What if a criminal points a gun at you what would you do? Run! Can you outrun a bullet? Then we can only wait to die. You have a knife. Then use it to defend yourself. When do you pull out the knife? If we strictly follow the standard of ongoing threat, then we would have to wait until the criminal aims before we can
defend ourselves. Then we’ll die too. Therefore, the moment the criminal pulls out a gun is the victim’s last chance
for self-defense. If it’s too late, they could lose their life. But was it Jiang Ting’s last chance? Then one stab would have been enough. Everyone. A woman was beaten by a man for five whole years. Have you ever thought about what kind of fear this woman lived in? If we had been Jiang Ting, and that man suddenly appeared again, threatening to hurt me, and I happened to have a knife nearby, how would we fight back? You dare to take a knife! Stay back! Prosecutor Xu just said that perhaps one stab
would have been enough. You may have overlooked
the extreme nature of the situation. In such an extreme situation, if we had been Jiang Ting, after I stabbed Zhang Yuan once… I’ll kill you! How could I be certain that the man who is much stronger than me would fall down and lose his ability to fight back? Wouldn’t he, out of rage, continue to assault me, and beat me to death? Can we expect Jiang Ting to stop and calmly consider whether everything she was doing met the criteria for justifiable defense? We can’t, can we? All of us are sitting here now, objective and calm, drinking tea, and watching this brief video. But shouldn’t we also try to see things
from Jiang Ting’s perspective? If I had been Jiang Ting, putting myself in the defendant’s shoes, and these few minutes were my last chance to escape from unlawful harm, I must fight back. We can’t demand that a victim be a perfect victim. Accordingly, we can’t demand that an action of justifiable defense be a perfectly justified one every time. I want to remind everyone that as prosecutors, when we handle all kinds of crimes, we can’t just focus on the law itself and ignore the people in these cases. Because we’re not handling cases, but people’s lives. Because the law must not yield to wrongdoing. Therefore, for Jiang Ting’s case, I think her action constitutes
justifiable defense, and prosecution should not be pursued. [Procuratorate Office Stationed
at the Detention Center, Yuyan District] [People’s Procuratorate of Wuyan] Ms. Lei. Thank you for your hard work. These past couple of days, she hasn’t said a word, probably due to the overwhelming pressure. Please take extra care of her. Thank you. We have all heard this lady’s account just now, which helps us understand that every woman should be aware of how to protect herself. Just like [Radio] the recent case in our city
where Ms. Jiang killed her husband, which serves as an example. [Media Volume] Director Chen, you should visit
Third High School more often. Walk around, take a look, and give some guidance
to the teachers and students there. Then we parents will -be less worried.
-Bao. Share some with your sister. Here, Director Chen, -cheers.
-Sister, here you are. Thank you. I don’t like it. Ting. Show us the dance moves you recently learned. Come on. I’m wearing a dress today. It might be a bit inconvenient. And also, the floor might be a bit slippery. What’s inconvenient about that? Hurry up. Hurry up. Put it on. You don’t need to wear a coat. Stop making excuses and take it off. That’s Director Chen
from the Education Bureau. Don’t embarrass me. Go ahead and eat if you want. Help yourself. Turn on the AC. Okay, I’ve turned on the AC for you and set it to the optimal temperature. Why didn’t you tell me
you were coming back? What are you doing here? I only heard from the procuratorate that you were being released today. So I came over to tidy up for you. I took all your dirty clothes to the dry cleaner’s. And I threw out a lot of those messy shoes lying on the floor. You live here for now. Don’t buy anything useless. Once the gossip dies down, you can move back home. I’m not going back. Don’t worry, I’m never going back there again. What do you mean? Let me ask you something. I was locked up for so long. Why didn’t you visit me even once? How dare you blame me? I’ve been a successful lady
for my entire life. The daughter I was always so proud of killed someone. Do you know how many people at work are laughing at me behind my back now? My leader today told me to take time off to lay low for a while. Don’t think you’re the only one… Just go. You’re kicking me out? Jiang Ting. I raised you all by myself
with such hardship. Rain or shine, I took you to dance lessons. Don’t think you’re the only victim here. How dare you throw my bag! Jiang Ting! Jiang Ting! Open this door! You ungrateful daughter! I raised your child all by myself! Open the door! Finally free. I’m free, but it doesn’t feel like it. I always owed you something to say. And I owed her it too. I’m sorry! I’m sorry. I’m sorry.
