Chapter 242: Accusations
The five judges, from left to right, wear black robes with Chinese characters and bilingual nameplates in English on their left chests, Judge No. 1 and Judge No. 2...... Judge No. 5. Circular table, with Judge No. 3 sitting in the center. The five judges sat upright, motionless. Obviously, these five people are puppets.
The judges' bench in the conference room is on the north side, the defence bench to the west, the prosecution bench to the east, the hearing bench to the south, and the witness bench in the middle.
Six guards stood in various parts of the courtroom, wearing tactical helmets, tactical glasses, and could not see the color of their skin at all, nor who exactly they were looking at.
Judge No. 1 touched the microphone in his left hand: "Please take a seat." ”
There were not many people involved in the trial, they looked at each other, and after taking their seats, Judge No. 1 said: "Please explain your identity, starting from the No. 1 defense seat." ”
Bassoon's Thai lawyer spoke in English: "My name is Ba Zuo, and I am Mr. Bassoon's defense lawyer. ”
Another Thai lawyer: "My name is Ba You, and I am Mr. Bassoon's defense lawyer. ”
Cao Yun looked at the conference room full of cameras, picked up the microphone and continued to look around: "Old acquaintance, Cao Yun, is Mr. Xie Lu's defense lawyer, and he is also Xiaoyu's entrusted lawyer. Since Xiaoyu appears on the list of witnesses, not the defendants, Cao Yun can only retain a lawyer, not a defense lawyer.
Sima Luo: "The No. 1 prosecutor, Sima Luo, the prosecutor of the Eastern Tang Dynasty." ”
Wang Lei: "The No. 2 prosecutor, Wang Lei, the prosecutor of the Eastern Tang Dynasty." ”
Cao Yun said: "Sima Luo, what do you mean by bringing a weak chicken? Do you respect the court, or use the Flame Court to train newcomers?" Cao Yun and Wang Lei have fought each other, and they are very embarrassed to win. Cao Yun has no intention of discriminating, but as far as Cao Yun understands, Wang Lei has no other use except for wasting everyone's time.
"Lawyer Cao, please be quiet. Judge No. 1 said: "I hereby state once again that if anyone is found to have deliberately caused trouble, I will severely punish him." This session announces that the trial of the 214 mudslide case in Vietnam has officially begun, and the prosecutor will first read out the indictment. ”
Wang Lei did stupid work and read the accusation, which said that Jin Lei confessed that he was the mastermind of the 214 mudslide case. The incident occurred on the third day of Bassonshelu's inspection of the project, and the biggest problem with the project at that time was the old lady's real estate and land insertion, and no matter what Jin Lei said, she was not willing to sell her own real estate and real estate.
Kim Lei explained the situation at the meeting. Xie Lu replied: Since you can't solve the problem, solve the person who created the problem.
For example, a college student complained to the Academic Affairs Office that the problem of unpalatable food in the cafeteria was not in line with the characteristics of the university, so he expelled the student from the school in the name of being a traitor. Any student who questions the school is called a traitor.
At the same meeting, Bassoon felt embarrassed by Jin Lei's embarrassment in front of Xie Lu, so he said to Jin Lei, this kind of trivial matter can't be handled, and you have to give advice to Mr. Xie, you just retire.
Jin Lei finds a goose egg engineer in his department, and the engineer calculates the damage caused by orienting the goose eggs. Jin Lei, along with his personal assistant and private secretary, placed goose eggs the day before the mudslide. The next day's storm blew up the goose eggs, causing part of the mountain to collapse and fall, washing away the old lady's house built on the mountain.
Jin Lei himself confessed to his actions, his private secretary died a year ago, and his personal assistant also confessed to his actions. In their testimony, they state the details of how the goose eggs were placed. Jin Lei himself said that he had contacted Bassoon in advance, and said on the phone that the recent heavy rain, point A (the old lady's house) is likely to have a mudslide, and asked Bassoon if he needed to prepare an emergency plan? Bassoon asked, how much does she want? Jin Lei replied: No money. Bassoon said that if there is damage caused by a mudslide near the project, the local authorities should be notified. Jin Lei said he understood.
At noon on the day of the mudslide, Xie Lu called Jin Lei to inquire about the weather over there. Jin Lei replied that it was estimated that there would be two more days of heavy rain. Xie Lu specifically explained that the construction period is already very rushed, and once the contract is overdue, the company will have to pay a large amount of money. And said that since you are the head of engineering, everything must be in the interests of the company. Jin Lei said he understood. Xie Lu finally said, you are very promising, I am optimistic about you.
After the prosecution was read, the four lawyers exchanged their heads, and Cao Yun said in Ling Hulan's ear: "Even if there is a recording, it can't be explained that the two bosses let Jin Lei kill people." ”
Ling Hulan nodded, Jin Lei listened to the heart, and misunderstood the meaning of the two bosses.
Ba Zuo raised his hand: "In the accusation, it is said that Basong and Xie Lu had a phone call with Jin Lei, and it is not true or false, even if they say so, it does not mean that they instructed Jin Lei to artificially create a mudslide." ”
Sima Luo said: "Apply for Jin Lei to appear in court." ”
Kim Lei is very young, only 38 years old this year, he is a civil engineering graduate, and after graduation he has been working in the construction company of the Bassoon subsidiary. His business skills and management skills were highly respected, and at the age of 30, he was promoted to the position of general manager due to the vacancy of general manager of a construction company. Jinlei's construction company is mainly responsible for building bridges and roads. In recent years, a large number of factories have moved to Vietnam, Vietnam has developed rapidly, and the demand for roads and bridges has gradually increased, and many people have taken a fancy to this cake. After Jin Lei took office, he not only expanded the company on a large scale, but also paid great attention to contacts with local officials, spending tens of millions of public relations expenses every year.
Sima Luo was not in a hurry, and through step-by-step inquiries, Jin Lei introduced his situation, his status in Vietnam, and his status under the Bassoon flag. Strictly speaking, Jin Lei is one of the most powerful cadres under the Bassoon. The family relationship between the two sides is also very good, and Jin Lei's wife and children often travel to Europe and Southeast Asia with Bassoon's wife and children, and the two have a very good personal relationship.
Because of his years of operation, Kim Lei is still influential in Bibassoon, Vietnam, and he could have started his own company. But he has always been grateful for Bassoon's support and has not set up his own door.
After asking about the basic situation, Sima Luo changed his words and asked, "What happened after the mudslide?"
Jin Lei replied: "Soon after the 214 mudslide, I went to the group headquarters to report on my work, and Mr. Ba suddenly announced that the 20% performance dividend of my original construction company would be increased to 49%. ”
Sima Luo said: "In other words, if the company earns 10 million, you can get 4.9 million?"
"Yes. ”
Sima Luo: "Do the heads of other enterprises in Bassoon have such a high salary?"
"No, the highest is 25%, which is a company that is not very profitable because of Mr. Ba's niece. ”
Sima Luo asked, "Did Bassoon mention the mudslide again?"
Jin Lei replied: "On the night of my debriefing, the two of us had dinner together at the Ba Zong Villa. Mr. Ba asked me if there was any suspicion that the official had privately suspected that it was artificial. I replied no, everything went well. Mr. Ba said that I did a good job, although this time because of the number of dead people forced to change the route, it is not profitable, but I can understand some truths to make him happy. He also said that when the money is enough, he will spend it, and he has been looking for a suitable successor to the president of the group, let me do a good job, and he will not treat me badly. ”
Sima Luo nodded: "The mudslide happened in 214, what happened in 520?"
Jin Lei replied: "On the day of 520, I was urgently summoned to the residence of Mr. Ba in Bangkok and met Mr. Xie Luxie. As soon as I heard it, I realized that the victims of the mudslide had a great background. His name is Kim Jun, and the deceased are all his family members. There are contacts and resources in the Viet Thai mushroom formula. ”
Sima Luo asked, "Why don't you know?"
Jin Lei replied: "After the mudslide, there was no special investigation team, I subconsciously thought that it was ordinary people who died, and local officials would deal with it." Later, I learned that Jin Jun's legal wife was the daughter of a big man, but she couldn't have children, and it was his little wife who died, and the information did not show that this family was related to Jin Jun. ”
Kim Lei: "Kim Jun thought it was an accident at first. In May, I didn't know what Kim Jun had heard, so a special team was transferred from Hanoi to investigate the matter. Someone in Hanoi had a good relationship with Mr. Ba and informed Mr. Ba of the incident, and Mr. Ba knew that the family of the deceased was Kim Jun. ”
Sima Luo asked, "What's next?"
Jin Lei: "Mr. Xie asked me: How many people know? I said that there are only four people, me, the assistant, the secretary and an engineer. I promised that the assistant and the secretary would not betray me, and that I had brought the two of them out of the refugee stream. Mr. Ba asked: What about the engineer? I replied, it's not easy to say, it's the old man of the company, and I'm okay with him. Mr. Ba said, "That's not going to work?" I thought about it for a long time, nodded and replied, not very safe. ”
Jin Lei: "Mr. Ba thought for a while and said, the engineer has worked hard, his home is in Bangkok, and he has been in Vietnam for many years, so you can give him a long vacation, let him return to China to rest and reunite with his family." ”
Sima Luo asked, "What's the name of the engineer?"
Jin Lei: "Lake." ”
Sima Luo asked, "What about when you return to Bangkok?"
"After returning to Bangkok, Lake took a taxi home from the airport, but was in a car accident on the way, and died after rescue efforts failed. ”
Sima Luo asked, "What about after that?"
Jin Lei replied: "We never talked about the mudslide again, and no one asked me about the mudslide. ”
Sima Luo asked, "Then why are you willing to stand here and tell the truth?"
Jin Lei: "My family was kidnapped, and they asked me to tell the truth in the Flame Court and cooperate with the trial. If I commit suicide after the trial, my family can be released. ”
Sima Luo looked at the judge's seat: "Is it the Flame Court that did this? If so, I will suspect that you are bent into a trick." ”
Judge No. 1 replied: "It was not us who did it, we communicated with the kidnappers, and we promised that they would fulfill their promise and release Jin Lei's family as long as Jin Lei told the truth." According to our understanding and investigation, the kidnappers did not ask Jin Lei to say anything, but only asked Jin Lei to tell the truth and cooperate. Jin Lei entered the Flame Court fifteen days ago, and his family was kidnapped in the morning of the same day, and Jin Lei contacted us less than an hour later. Under our control, Jin Lei has no contact with the outside world, we have maintained contact with the kidnappers, and Jin Lei's family is safe and sound. ”
When talking about his family, Jin Lei looked forward to seeing the judge, and after hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and bent down towards the judge with his hands together: "Thank you." ”
Ling Hulan said in Cao Yun's ear: "You can't beat his integrity, Jin Lei's performance is too good." ”
Judge No. 1: "Bench, what's the problem?"
Bazuo stood up: "Witness, did Bassoon ask you to create a mudslide?"
Jin Lei replied, "No." ”
Bazuo: "Did Bassoon admit that the mudslide was man-made?"
Jin Lei thought for a long time: "I didn't explain it directly, but I can read that meaning." Mr. Ba first explained Jin Jun's identity, said that he would send someone to investigate the mudslide, and asked me how many people knew about the mudslide......"
Ba Zuo: "Can I understand it this way, Bassoon was worried that Jin Jun suspected that his company had caused the mudslide, so he asked you about the mudslide. Bassoon is above board, but Kim Jun is a very energetic person, and he can't help but worry that he will be framed and suspected. ”
Sima Luo: "Defense lawyer, Xie Lu asked how many people knew, and Jin Lei replied to four people. As long as Xie Lu and Bassoon are not pig brains, they all know the meaning of the four people. Otherwise, a mudslide kills four people, and only four people know that there is a mudslide?"
Ba Zuo: "Not necessarily, Xie Lu and Ba Song heard that this Jin Jun was a fool and didn't bother to correct him." As you can hear, Judge, Basson never said that the mudslide was man-made, and he never said that he had done anything related to the mudslide. Personally, I think it's purely because Jin Lei overinterpreted, thought too much, and misinterpreted the meaning of Mr. Ba. ”
Ba Zuo sat down, Ba You stood up and said: "This conversation is a conversation three years ago, Jin Lei, your memory is not too good, you can fully describe the entire dialogue process." I don't think Kim Lei is lying, but with the hints, especially when his family is controlled, he knows exactly what he should say in order to protect his family. Therefore, Jin Lei's testimony can be referred to, but he is opposed to the court admitting it. ”
Sima Luo asked, "Witness, why do you remember it so clearly?"
Jin Lei replied: "Because it was the first time I was afraid, the first time I was so nervous, I knew that the stakes were high, so I remember it very clearly." ”
Ba You: "How long will you meet?"
Jin Lei: "About ten minutes. ”
Ba You: "Ten minutes? According to your description, your conversation will last at most five minutes. There's five minutes left, can you remember?"
Jin Lei: "After talking about the engineer, Mr. Ba asked about the situation of a project, and I briefly introduced the current progress of the project. ”
Ba You asked, "What project?"
Jin Lei thought for a long time: "I...... I don't remember exactly. ”
Ba You smiled: "You can't even remember the engineering project, but you remember what the two bosses said, it's rare." ”
Jin Lei: "I'm just telling the truth, I'm only telling the truth, I hope Mr. Ba can understand, I was also forced to be helpless, I'm sorry Mr. Ba ......" said that he was already in tears.
Sima Luo sighed: "After his work in the Flame Court is over, he must choose to end his life. He didn't think about it, but was full of guilt for Bassoon, which also meant that he was telling the truth. ”
Ba Zuo said: "Maybe for the safety of his family, he helplessly lied that caused him to feel guilty." ”
Sima Luo said: "You can pick bones in eggs." We can't keep arguing about the merits, this is the case, I believe that the judge, whether you are good, you are very clear in your hearts, what the witness Jin Lei said is all the truth. There's a good thing about the Flame Court, just believe it. ”
The last sentence blocked back what Ba Zuo was about to say, yes, Jin Lei performed too well. If it were a normal court, Ba Zuo would have started to pick and choose to finally knock down the testimony. But in the Court of Flames, there was no point in doing so. Ba Zuo sat back helplessly.
