In mid-April 19, the case of Zhou Xiubo and others suspected of rape was officially tried in the Wushan Intermediate People's Court.

The first instance was placed in the Municipal Intermediate People's Court, naturally because the case was of a more serious nature, more complex problems, and more extensive impact.

After three consecutive days of hearing, the court did not announce the verdict in court, and will announce the verdict publicly at a later date.

Some media outlets, including national, provincial and local media outlets in Osan, were allowed to enter the trial, and the overwhelming coverage soon drowned out the topic of the upcoming "alternate five-day workweek".

In the all-round bombardment of the media, almost all the citizens of Osan knew that the prosecution recommended the death penalty for the first offender, Zhou Xiubo, and also knew the details of the trial in which Zhou Xiubo cried bitterly on the spot, and the lawyers representing several defendants attacked each other for each other's evil deeds.

In the afternoon of this day, Lu Zheng and Iris appeared in the Nanshan Villa Community.

After the Spring Festival, Iris returned to China for a while, just came back two days ago, today her clothes are very close to the people, wearing a floral dress, but simply, this blue-eyed Barbie with gorgeous white hair is more and more elegant and lovely, noble and charming.

The car stopped outside a white wooden fence villa, and after getting out of the car, Lu Zheng held a parasol to help Iris cover the dazzling sunlight today, but in fact, it also blocked possible foreign eyes.

In the small courtyard of the villa, Pei Xiao and Xiaohua both came out, and before the case was tried, in order to avoid Xiaohua being disturbed unnecessarily, Pei Xiao and Xiaohua moved from the original residential area to this villa community.

This small second floor was left by Wei Xiangxiu back then, and it is quite close to the Municipal Finance Bureau, and Xiaoshuang and Xiao'e have lived here for a long time.

After entering the house, Lu Zheng smiled and said to Xiaohua: "You behaved very well and were very brave." ”

Xiaohua's face shone slightly, and she was a little shy, and lowered her head.

At the trial of the Intermediate People's Court, Xiaohua personally appeared in court as a witness and victim to testify, and she did not have to face the second injury, but she insisted on appearing in court.

Of course, now, even the defense lawyers of Zhou Xiubo and others dare not use interrogation skills to attack Xiaohua for overturning the case for Zhou Xiubo and others, and the social atmosphere cannot accept this approach.

And Xiaohua, the victim, appeared in court to testify in person, bravely told about that nightmarish experience, and told about her tragic past, which can be imagined as touching the judges, after all, no matter how the leaders above want to disturb this judgment, but the judges with a little conscience, in the face of this situation in the court, have their own thoughts in their hearts, just look at this scale, what has the upper hand.

Looking at Xiaohua at this time, Lu Zheng also felt a lot, and said: "Your aunt, I want to invite you to a meal, after eating this meal, let's turn the past over, what you have to face and consider is your future life." ”

Pei Xiao has been secretly looking at Iris in surprise, I heard that Lu Zheng brought his wife over today, but is it this little thing? A blonde little Lori who is beautiful and noble like an angel?

Listening to Lu Zheng's words at this time, but he was sitting down, Pei Xiao was dumbfounded, no wonder, Liu Tie was secretive about the mayor's marriage at home, and he asked too much, so he simply hid, and said What is a state secret, this, this really has to be kept secret, otherwise it will be too sensational, not to mention the nationality, age, it is too young.

Xiaohua looked around suspiciously, but she didn't see an "aunt" present, as for the beautiful and cute messy foreign girl, Xiaohua thought it was the little niece brought by Uncle Lu, the daughter of a friend.

However, Xiaohua's concern was not here, she hesitated for a moment and asked, "Uncle, how will the court decide?" ”

Before Lu Zheng could speak, the pager rang, he picked it up and looked at it, and said apologetically: "It's a little urgent, I won't go, Iris, you help me take care of Xiaohua and Xiao for this meal." ”

Iris nodded slightly.

Standing Committee No. 1 Courtyard, Lu Zheng is the first time to come, when he rang the doorbell outside the half-height courtyard wall, Huo Qinqun, who saw Lu Zheng from the window of the living room on the first floor, was also very surprised, the little nanny ran out to open the door first, and Huo Qinqun also quickly came to the courtyard to greet him and shake hands with Lu Zheng.

Huo Qinqun's lover Teacher Jia retired from illness before Huo Qinqun came to Wushan, followed Huo Qinqun to Wushan, is a forty-year-old Shu Ya lady, who is busy cooking dinner in the kitchen with the little nanny, and is very surprised to see Lu Zheng's visit, but he is more enthusiastic, and said with a smile: "Mayor Lu, I have always seen you on TV, and today I am fortunate to witness the true face of Lushan, you are more personable than on TV." ”

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you can just call me Zhengzi at home, my family calls me that."

Teacher Jia was surprised, seeing that this person is very friendly, not like the young and arrogant that his wife said, perhaps, his wife is uncomfortable because he can work with him at a young age, but this person, if he is really against his wife, the current style can also be said to be a honey-bellied sword, not a good person.

Looking at the two bottles of foreign wine that the little nanny took from Lu Zheng, Teacher Jia smiled and said, "What, you two guys have some to drink today?" ”

Lu Zheng glanced at Huo Qinqun and said, "Sister-in-law, let's talk to Secretary Huo another day." Thinking about Huo Qinqun's mood for a while, it is not a good time to drink and chat with him.

Sure enough, when he entered the study, Lu Zheng took out a small cassette tape and said: "Come and listen, it is the audio transcript of Wei Jiye, the presiding judge of the Intermediate People's Court hearing Zhou Xiubo's case, who reported Zhang Shengyu in the Supervision Bureau for disturbing the judicial judgment. "The Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Supervision Bureau do not have the power to investigate the members of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and the deputy department level and above, so Lei Yongsheng naturally wants to ask Lu Zheng for instructions on what to do, and whether to report to the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Huo Qinqun looked at the size of the tape and said, "There is no such tape recorder at home. ”

Lu Zheng put the small tape on the table and said: "Then you look back and listen, Wei Jiye said that Zhang Sheng talked to him several times, hinting that he was given a light sentence, and said that this year, in order to improve the professionalism of judges, the Supreme People's Court and the Ministry of Justice jointly organized a provincial and municipal judges' advanced training course, and the trainees who can obtain the qualifications for further study will be the backbone of local professional judges. ”

Huo Qinqun frowned slightly: "Zhang Sheng is too disagreeable, I know that he and Zhou Liren, an old party member, have always been able to talk, but I didn't expect that he would run to intercede." ”

Lu Zheng shook his head and said: "This is not just a matter of intercession, it is simply coercion and temptation, of course, this is only interpreted according to Wei Jiye's statement, and the same paragraph can be interpreted in different environments, and there is a lot of ambiguity that can be interpreted, so we can't arbitrarily think that Comrade Zhang Sheng used his power to judge cases involving justice, but this is also a dangerous signal for him, I hope he can take this as a warning and pay more attention." ”

Huo Qinqun nodded: "I'll listen to him tomorrow." ”

Lu Zheng said: "There is also the issue of the power of the political and legal committee, the political and legal committee is to reflect the party's leadership of the public procuratorate and law, but it is only an organizational guidance relationship, our Wushan political and legal committee, administratively involved in the public procuratorate and law is a little deep, such as the judge's advanced training class to recommend local students such personnel and administrative issues, the political and legal committee must be grasped in the hands, which is very inappropriate." ”

When Lu Zheng was in power in Wushan, the Political and Legal Committee was only a false appearance, and even later it was abolished in accordance with the rhythm of the Central Committee, and after the turmoil, the Central Committee restored the Political and Legal Committee, and Huo Qinqun was in charge of Wushan, so he naturally followed the tone of the Central Committee, not only re-established the Political and Legal Committee, but also became more and more powerful.

At this time, Lu Zheng raised this question, Huo Qinqun glanced at Lu Zheng deeply, and nodded: "After listening to Zhang Sheng's statement, let's have a meeting to discuss." ”

Lu Zheng got up to say goodbye, Huo Qinqun sent him out of the hospital, and when he came back, his face was very gloomy, even the little nanny also saw the difference, and hid in the kitchen, not daring to dangle in front of his eyes.

After coming out of the Standing Committee, Lu Zheng drove home directly, but after not thinking about going home, he realized that Iris had not come back yet, and it should be that the dinner with Pei Xiao and Xiaohua had not yet ended.

Iris was not at home, Lu Zheng immediately felt that the sea and the sky were wide, and his body was full of relaxation, Louise came to ask Lu Zheng what he was eating, and Lu Zheng, who was lazily leaning on the sofa, waved his hand: "Staple steak, fry a few more pieces." "Louise's fried steak was exceptionally delicious.

Who knew that Louise brought a menu, which was divided into set A package H and set meal Louise said: "Miss ordered, if you don't come back from dinner, choose from this menu, because you eat more meat at noon, and dinner is better to be light." ”

Lu Zheng took a look at the menu, and the most fragrant set meal included scrambled eggs with black truffle, vegetable salad and drinks. Maybe I ran too many places this afternoon and was hungry, and I really wanted to eat some meat, and Iris was not there, so Lu Zheng was very bold, and waved his hand and said, "If you want to fry the steak, you will fry the steak." ”

"But ......" Louise still wanted to say, Lu Zheng frowned: "Don't be, listen to me, and, when Iris comes back, you can say the fruit set I ate." ”

Louise's deep pale blue eyes with mixed-race characteristics showed a look of surprise, naturally she didn't expect Lu Zheng to ask her to lie to the young lady, stunned for a while, Louise let out a low "um", turned around and walked to the kitchen

Looking at her graceful back, Lu Zhengxin said that it seems that he has bet on the right treasure, his mother is Chinese, and he has lived in the East for a long time, Louise can more or less inherit the traditional idea of male superiority and inferiority, in this family, her status as a male host can still be affirmed in her eyes, if the maids who have been following Iris are afraid, they are afraid that after they finish speaking, they will have to call Iris to make a small report.

Just thinking about it, the pager suddenly rang, and Lu Zheng was stunned when he picked it up and looked at it, "Uncle: I live with Sister Chunzi now, just downstairs from you, apartment 1407, hehe." The signature is "Miss Bai"

Xiao'e? Came to live with Junko? Lu Zheng was stunned, picked up the phone and dialed the number of Chunzi's apartment, and soon the phone was answered, and sure enough, it was the sweet voice of the little girl: "Uncle, Sister Chunzi and I have found a lot of houses, but they are not very good, and I think the Pearl Hotel is too expensive, I can't live for a few nights a month, and I have to pay the money for the whole month, which is too wasteful." Later, Sister Junzi said that her house was very large, and she lived alone, so I happened to move over to be her companion, and I could learn something from Sister Junko when I was on vacation, so I moved here. ”

Lu Zheng was stunned and stunned, since he accepted the fact that the little girl became his lover after an ideological struggle, Lu Zheng could feel in his heart that he seemed to have gone to some shackles, not only about men and women, but also because many things had returned to the mentality of his previous life, and he was not a saint in the first place, and he threw himself into this vanity fair, in order to promote goodness, it seemed that he had to learn evil first, and in the power struggle, from a certain point of view, he had done a lot of evil things, thinking about his ambition when he was just reborn, he could only sigh in his heart.

However, although he calmly accepted the fact that he was still not a good person after being reborn, his little lover lived downstairs in his own house, which, thinking about the fact that Iris was good to him, he still couldn't help but feel weak

"Louise, you, you still have to give me a set meal" Hung up the phone, Lu Zheng said to the kitchen, he could almost imagine what Louise was thinking, and naturally felt that he was very afraid of the little guy in Iris. sighed in his heart, but he was afraid that in the eyes of Louise in the future, in the eyes of this maid who was the only one who could suppress the fruit, he, the male host, would no longer have any status.
