Chapter 585: Aftermath (Medium)
From Xu Rongjun's point of view, what he can do has basically been done. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Originally, several of the main judges in this trial had already been knocked down by his sugar-coated cannonballs, and they had basically completed the arrangement a long time ago. It's a pity that the sudden NBCD statement pushed the Seoul District Court into a very embarrassing position. Even though those high-level people in the judicial circles did not have specific information about the confiscation of the judges, they directly changed the judges in order to avoid suspicion.
Although Xu Rongjun has been mentally prepared for this situation, he is still inevitably a little disappointed when he really encounters it. However, before paparazzi reporter Lee Jun-ho jumped out, he still had full confidence. In fact, he is very convinced that as long as the provisional confessions of a few witnesses remain unchanged, it will be very difficult for Zhao Yongqi to be acquitted. After all, the law does not talk about human feelings, nor does it look at the subjective judgment of individuals, and the law pays attention to evidence. As long as there is a pile of evidence that seems to be very reliable, even invulnerable, then the truth of the facts has taken a back seat.
In Mr. Xu's prediction, the only thing the lawyers on Mr. Zhao's team could do in the face of unfavorable testimony from witnesses was to bring the tapes they had in their possession to tell the story. However, just like the fat director's insistence, the tape was edited, as long as this point was bitten, the only thing Zhao Yongqi's team could do was to apply for judicial appraisal in court.
Even if the court accepts the application for forensic expertise, the process is quite lengthy. It can be as short as a few weeks, or as long as it is far away. Not to mention the extra time, Xu Rongjun can calmly arrange the future matters, even if he really doesn't interfere anymore, so that Zhao Yongqi has enough trouble, it is enough to achieve part of his plan to "kill chickens and make an example of monkeys".
After all, his original plan was to put more pressure on the so-called disobedient newcomers and increase the prestige of the Artists Alliance. In fact, as long as he can really do this, then Xu Rongjun himself, who is already dominant in the Artist Alliance, can replace the older generation who are already old and become the real leader. That's what he was all about.
It's a pity that many things don't have a good direction to succeed. Xu Rongjun never imagined that a small paparazzi reporter would have the ability to find out about his secret overseas investment industry, and on this basis, he not only anonymously disclosed the witness's receipt of a large amount of unknown funds to Zhao Yongqi's lawyer team in advance, but also put forward a proof of the source of these funds at a critical moment.
Xu Rongjun is not stupid, if he was really that stupid, he would not have come to this point. It's just that this time, he was obviously aggressive, although he made careful arrangements, but he had no choice but to suffer blows from all sides.
When Lee Jun-ho said in court that those companies belonged to Xu Yongjun, to be honest, he was shocked and angry. Almost as soon as he heard Li Junhao's words, Xu Rongjun knew that Zhao Yongqi had won today's lawsuit.
In fact, when a witness's testimony shows signs of unreliability, it is generally not accepted by the court. As a lawyer on Cui Zhiying's side, the only plan they can get is those witnesses!
In the final analysis, Zhao Yongqi's case is nothing more than a brawl case. It's not like homicide and so on, but with so much evidence, motives, and so on. The only thing that can be used by lawyers to repeatedly argue is the witness, except for the videotape. If he can really win a complete victory in terms of witnesses, then Choi Zhiying's chances of winning the final trial are far higher than Zhao Yongqi's. This is also the reason why everyone was very nervous when Ziye and others knew that the witnesses had retracted their confessions.
Xu Rongjun's temporary exit was also forced to be helpless.
Li Junhao did not hesitate to directly name him, there are only two possibilities. One is that he has already broken the kettle and has no scruples about any remarks that may be unfavorable to him. The second is that the conclusive evidence is really in possession!
No matter which one it is, it is not a good thing for Xu Rongjun, and it can even be said to be very unfavorable. If it is a private occasion, there may be room for turnaround, but in such a public place at the time of the trial, in front of dozens or hundreds of reporters, it is conceivable that the media in the past few days must be full of speculation about this evidence.
From the way out of the courthouse until the time back home. Along the way, Xu Rongjun, who was pale, had returned to his former calm when he walked into the house. He's not one of those stupid people, and he knows that losing his temper and smashing a few pots and pans at random won't help at all. Now the overall situation is very unfavorable for him, but it has not reached the point where there is no way to solve it.
Poured himself a glass of red wine, suppressed the boredom in his heart, and sat on the sofa thinking carefully about the way out, Xu Rongjun, who was suddenly awakened by the ringtone of his mobile phone.
Glancing at the mobile phone on the coffee table, Xu Rongjun thought about it, and after picking it up, he adjusted his demeanor and connected it in a calm tone. This is not someone else's phone call, it is his own agent who has been with him for many years.
"Brother Rong Jun, a few policemen came to the studio just now, claiming that they want you to go to the police station and assist them in investigating the obstruction of justice in Zhao Yongqi's case. The agent's voice sounded a little anxious, "Brother Rong Jun, what the hell is going on?"
"Oh, it's fine, it's just a misunderstanding. You tell them I'll be there tomorrow. Although he felt that the corners of his mouth were bitter, Xu Rongjun still comforted his agent with a steady voice.
After hearing Xu Rongjun's words, the agent was silent for a moment, and then said: "Brother Rong Jun, there are many things that I shouldn't have said, but ...... Hey, we just found out that NBCD has issued another simple statement. They claim to have evidence that you fabricated online rumors, hired trolls to attack Zhao Yongqi, and bribed prosecution witnesses. It also claims that the evidence has been handed over to the judiciary and will be released in due course. At the same time, it called on all sectors of society to strongly condemn this kind of behavior of treating the judiciary as their own self-interest. ”
Xu Rongjun listened silently, the expression on his face seemed very calm, only the knuckles of the fingers holding the mobile phone became more and more white, in order to show his true thoughts in his heart.
"Brother Rong Jun, give it to me, what should I do?" The agent didn't hear a reply for a long time, and couldn't help but ask anxiously.
"Just leave it there for now, I'll take care of it. Without saying another word, Xu Rongjun hung up the phone and punched the sofa. He knew that NBCD's counterattack had begun!
