Chapter 36: Complete Defeat (II)
Second hearing.
Gao Shan asked the witness, a former summer camp student: "Takagi, tell me about your experience in the summer camp." ”
Takagi replied, "It's a nightmarish experience, getting up at 6:30 in the morning for a morning jog, and waking up a second late, and there will be an instructor blowing a whistle in your ear. Singing collectively before breakfast, whoever doesn't sing doesn't have breakfast ......"
Gao Shan Xing said: "Let me change the question, did the instructor beat the students?"
Takagi: "Of course there is, the light ones kick the foot, and the heavy ones slap the face." If you don't sleep at 9 p.m., those who are still talking will be pulled out and stand in the corridor for ten minutes, and the mosquitoes will suck your blood dry for ten minutes. ”
Gao Shan Xing nodded, and then asked, "Have you ever had electrotherapy?"
Takagi replied, "It's not electrotherapy at all, it's an electric shock, and the most disobedient student in the eyes of the instructor will be sent to the shock room." I've been there once. ”
"How do you feel?" asked Gao Shan Xing.
"The feeling of an electric shock, more of fear and fear, and then I gave in. ”
Akayama asked, "Has everyone been to the shock room?"
Takagi replied, "No, the three naughtiest people every day will be sent to the shock room, and everyone will be elected by one vote per person." ”
Gao Shan Xing: "I would like to add here: it is not in line with the spirit of the law for the minority to obey the majority. Your Excellency, I have no problem. ”
"The defendant's lawyer may question witnesses. ”
Ling Hu Tian'er stepped forward: "Takagi, last year, you were sentenced to 100 hours of community service for drunk driving. ”
Gao Shan Xing: "Objection, it has nothing to do with this case." ”
Linghu Tian'er said: "No, it's related, I'm explaining the reliability of the witness's testimony. ”
The judge said: "The objection is invalid, witness, please answer." ”
Takagi nodded, "Yes." ”
"Lying is not a matter for you at all, except for this time, your last job was as a waitress in a café, you hid the mobile phone that the customer left behind, and after the customer called the police, you pretended to pick it up and returned it to the customer, and finally you were warned by the police, right?"
Gao Shan Xing looked at Takagi in disbelief, and Takagi nodded: "Yes." Takayama contacted Takagi through the Internet, and Takagi once wrote a report for a news website about the darkness of the Yangxin Summer Camp, which was widely reprinted, and it was also the root cause of Hikawa's crusade.
Linghu Tian'er said: "You fictionalized your experience in the summer camp and wrote a report, and made a lot of money on the Internet, how could you become a waiter?"
Takagi Masasei said: "What I said is true, the summer camp treats us like a concentration camp, and everyone must live according to their orders, otherwise they will be punished." ”
Linghu Tian'er said: "It seems that you don't plan to answer my question, let me explain, you received a remuneration of 350,000 yuan for writing the report of the summer camp of the sheep letter, and because of the news sensation, the website gave you another 50,000 yuan." Where did the 400,000 yuan go?"
Takagi was silent for a long time: "Bet." ”
Ling Hu Tian'er turned her head to look at the judge: "Your Excellency, the other party finally found a witness, but it was a gambler, a liar with a police record, so I implore the judge to agree, don't waste everyone's time, and declare this case closed." ”
The judge didn't answer, but looked at the plaintiff's bench: "What do you think about this?"
Gao Shan Xing was quite annoyed: "I admit that I am not prepared, and I hope that the judge will give us more time, and we can find more victims." ”
The judge thought for a moment and said euphemistically: "Three years ago, more than twenty people claiming to be victims testified in court. ”
Linghu Tian'er said: "I can send the list of more than 20 witnesses to the opposing lawyer, but I ask the opposing lawyer to respect our time and not waste it on meaningless things." ”
Contempt, contempt, Yun Yin exploded on the spot, and the case was taken, and he didn't know what to say. He admitted that this time he was self-righteous, thinking that taking the initiative to collect this evidence would at least make the other party's head bigger, but he didn't want to look at the trial records of three years ago. But it's not that I don't want to see it, this record is relatively confidential, and if you want to know, you can only ask Cao Yun. But Cao Yun obviously didn't want to meddle in the case, so this time several people went to court out of self-respect.
Yun Yin was very angry in his heart, the subjective facts were clear to everyone, the summer camp used drugs to control the emotions of the students, and to deter the thorns with corporal punishment, so that everyone obediently followed their rhythm. No one in the team wants to live like this, but no one wants to be a bird to enjoy the fun of electric shocks.
But how can it not make sense in court? Every time a card is played, the opponent is fully prepared to take the card easily.
The judge looked at the plaintiff's bench and said, "I declare ......."
Wei Jun, who had been silent, put away a note and raised his hand, stood up and said: "I apply to change the accusation to: accuse Hikawa of inducing Asoko to commit suicide with words, and ask for five million in compensation." ”
Linghu Tian'er said: "The police have determined that Asoko committed suicide. ”
Wei Jun said: "We think that the police have made some small mistakes in the measurement, and in the next trial, we will apply for the instructor supervisor to attend the interrogation as a witness." ”
The judge nodded: "This seat agrees, and this trial is over." ”
"Waste of time. Ling Hu Tian'er complained helplessly.
……
Takayama Law Firm.
Everyone sat at the conference table, the atmosphere was solemn, Cao Yun closed his eyes and recuperated, and he could see that his expression was tired. Gao Shan Xing looked at Cao Yun: "Cao Yun, speak, why do you want to accuse Hikawa of inducing suicide? The police autopsy report and the witness's oral confession did not find any facts of abuse and inducement. Unless you want to describe corporal punishment as induction. There are also police miscalculations...... How is this lawsuit fought?"
Cao Yun sat down and held black tea in both hands: "I said earlier, we can't win this case." I'm dying now, and the meaning of dying is not to win the lawsuit, but to get back with some dignity. ”
Yun Yin was unhappy and asked, "Lawyer Cao means that we have no dignity today?"
Cao Yun didn't answer, and took a sip of black tea.
Yun Yin thought about it himself: "It's really undignified, and you can't blame us, the three of us are all newcomers, and we didn't even want to check the details of Takagi." ”
Lu Yihang said: "After the trial, I met with the other party's lawyer, Ling Hu Tian'er, outside the courtroom, and we chatted a few words. Linghu Tianer said that Rikawa considered Sanada's living difficulties, and not only did the previous 300,000 yuan compensation be a lot, but also was willing to add another 100,000 yuan. Lawyer Gao, do you want to consider settling out of court, if we settle, we will be able to get by in the end. ”
Before Gao Shan Xing could speak, Cao Yun said: "If we are willing to make Gao Shan Law Firm as mediocre as other small law firms, then we can reconcile." It is no longer in the client's interest, and our law firm must fight against the odds. ”
Wei Jun said: "Lawyer Cao, what strategy do you plan to use?"
Cao Yun said: "We are lawyers, we are all adults, I am sorry here." On the day that Ms. Gao accepted the commission, it happened that the three of you lawyers joined the law firm. In addition, the other party has completely gained the upper hand in the two court trials, so for the sake of safety, it is enough for Miss Gao and I to appear in court next time. ”
"Hey, what do you mean?" Yun Yin said: "Forget about the two poor ghosts, young master, I am the second generation of the rich, and you don't know, how can I waste time to be a spy with you." ”
Cao Yun smiled: "I'm just asking for safety, I have never doubted you, but you have put a lot of effort into this case, and you are tired, take a rest." ”
Yun Yin understood, the latter sentence was a euphemism, and the previous sentence was the truth, Cao Yun told himself that everyone didn't like to hear the truth.
Okay, let's see what you Cao Yun has to turn this case over.
