"No, no, that's not what I meant!" Zhou Haibo thought that Zhao Yue was going to trouble him again, so he hurriedly explained, and said to the young policeman: "Hurry up!" ā
The young policeman hurriedly returned all the documents to Zhao Yue, Zhao Yue put away the documents and started the car, Zhou Haibo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it, thinking that he had finally sent this plague god away! But before he could get happy, Zhao Yue's car stopped again, and a hand stretched out from the window and beckoned to him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zhou Haibo's body trembled when he saw it, and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, he stabilized it in time, wiped the sweat on his forehead and walked over carefully, "Mr. Zhao, what else do you command?" ā
Zhao Yue looked at Zhou Haibo and frowned: "You are afraid of me?" Am I that scary? ā
I rub! If anyone knows your identity and is not afraid of you, Lao Tzu has his surname! Zhou Haibo slandered in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Zhao, I am timid, don't joke with me, I am old and young, and a family of five is counting on my meager salary!" ā
For his words, Zhao Yue was very unimpressed and asked, "Do you want to make meritorious contributions?" ā
"Meritorious?" Zhou Haibo was puzzled: "Mr. Zhao, I don't understand what you mean!" ā
"You're investigating the rush that happened on the way forward not long ago, right?"
"You know that, huh?"
Zhao Yue smiled: "Of course I know, because I was on the scene at the time and watched the whole process!" Want to know where one of them is hiding? ā
Zhou Haibo's eyes widened, and he said happily: "You know? Can you tell me? ā
Zhao Yue said: "Yes, you helped me just now, you can help me erase the record of speeding driving, I will tell you where they are hiding, neither of us owes anyone, how about it?" ā
Zhou Huanbi immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Deal!" ā
Zhao Yue took out his mobile phone, clicked on the map, flipped to the area where he was hiding, and said: "Look, it's here, it's very empty, there are no other houses around, only a three-story small western-style building, they are hiding in this small western-style building, remember, they have grenades, automatic rifles, bazookas and other heavy firepower!" ā
Zhou Haibo took the phone and looked at it, and said happily: "It turned out to be here!" Thank you, Mr. Zhao! As he spoke, he returned the phone to Zhao Yue.
Zhao Yue took the mobile phone and turned off the window, drove back to the hotel. The next morning, Gong Dequan knocked on Zhao Yue's door with four bodyguards, Zhao Yue had just gotten up and finished washing, and as soon as the two met, Gong Dequan said: "I'm going back soon!" ā
Zhao Yue said: "That's okay, if you have something, you go first!" I'm about to go down, let's go together! ā
Everyone went downstairs together, and Gong Dequan asked, "How did I come back last night?" ā
"Of course your bodyguards sent you back!"
Gong Dequan said regretfully: "So I want to spend a good night with the little beauty Xiao Ran didn't work out?" ā
"I'm rubbing, you're as drunk as a dead pig, and you still want to spend a good night with beautiful women? I said are you really stupid or fake stupid, one pour and two, they drink one cup and you drink two, which means that you drink four times as much as each of them, and in the end the two of them are still alive and well, and you are already lying down! Even if the two of you sleep in the same bed, can you feel it? ā
Gong Dequan patted his forehead: "I forgot about this stubble at that time!" Okay, let's not talk about it! It's still growing! ā
The two broke up at the door of the hotel, Gong Dequan went to the airport with his bodyguards, Zhao Yue went to breakfast as usual, and at nine o'clock in the morning, the court was going to hear Ge Laohan's case, and he had to hurry up.
When he arrived at the restaurant, he ordered something casually and bought a newspaper at the newsstand next door, mainly to know what happened after he told Zhou Haibo about his hiding place last night!
Sure enough, there was this news in the newspaper, which said that the police only took an hour, after many investigations, immediately determined the hiding place of one of the people in the rush incident on the way forward, and immediately organized a large number of police forces to arrest them, the criminals are very vicious and cunning, and have pistols, submachine guns, grenades, as well as automatic rifles, rocket launchers and other heavy weapons, when the police arrived at the bandits' hiding place, the bandits have been aware of it, and immediately exchanged fire with the police. After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, the bandits were finally annihilated, and ten bandits were killed and wounded! Three of our policemen were killed, two were seriously injured and one was slightly injured.
After reading the whole report, Zhao Yue knew that Takeo Funakoshi and others must have run away, as for the newspaper saying that ten people were killed, Zhao Yue didn't know if he had exaggerated the number of enemies killed, and whether he had concealed the number of police casualties, but what was certain was that Takeo Funakoshi and others would definitely not be able to stay in the capital, and now not only Lao Tan and Lu Youpeng's people were looking for them, but even the police were digging three feet into the ground to find them, if they continued to stay in the capital, they would definitely be dug up in three days.
Halfway through breakfast, Feng Xue called, Zhao Yue answered the phone, Feng Xue asked on the other side of the phone, "The court is about to start, where are you now?" ā
Zhao Yue said: "I'm eating breakfast, I'll be there in a while, I'll contact you when I arrive!" ā
"Then hurry up!"
After eating breakfast in a hurry, Zhao Yue checked out and left, and it took fifteen minutes to rush to the courthouse, parking the car in the parking lot, Zhao Yue immediately called Feng Xue, and Feng Xue told him that they were all waiting in the second conference room now.
Zhao Yue immediately walked towards the gate of the court, and when he found the second conference room, Feng Xue was telling the three witnesses about some things that needed to be paid attention to when testifying in court, Ge Laohan was sitting in a wheelchair with thick gauze wrapped around his feet, and his son Ge Yuandan was standing behind him.
Seeing Zhao Yue push the door in, Feng Xue also said almost at this time, and finally said: "You need to pay attention to this is probably so much, in addition, I also want to remind you that the court is not a vegetable market, you can say whatever you want, this is not okay, you can only speak when the judge and the lawyer ask you, if you have any new situation that needs to be expressed to the court, you must raise your hand to ask for the judge's consent!" Well, that's all, you guys will recall it carefully! ā
Zhao Yue chatted with Ge Laohan for a few words, nothing more than to say some comforting words, and when he saw that Feng Xue had finished speaking, he glanced at her, and the two of them came to the staircase in addition to the conference room.
Zhao Yue asked, "How did you arrange it?" ā
Feng Xue said: "That's the case, I will arrange for the three of them to testify first, but I am sure that I can only arrange one to appear in court, and the remaining two are only afraid that they will be pulled by the other party to be witnesses, no matter what, we will be very passive in front, only when you show up and show evidence that the three witnesses have been bought by the other party, we can turn the tables!" I beat them to death with a stick, and I went back last night and checked the information of the guy who had paid the witnesses, and now it has been printed into materials, so that whatever the other lawyer may do, they will definitely lose."
Zhao Yue nodded and said, "You are a professional, you know what is most beneficial!" Just do as you say! ā
At that moment, the two returned to the conference room, and after another half an hour, it finally arrived at 8:45, when the bailiff came to two people and notified the plaintiff and the plaintiff's lawyer to come to court, and the trial officially began at 9 o'clock, so both parties and their respective lawyers had to arrive in advance to wait for the judge's arrival.
In the courtroom, the family members and friends of both sides who came to watch the trial, as well as some other people who joined in the fun, as well as some reporters from the news media, because the trial was open, the relatives of both sides and news media reporters were allowed to enter, and there was also a special press gallery for reporters to sit and take pictures.
This is a civil prosecution case, and the influence is very large, the court has found a very large courtroom, and at this time the seats below are full, and there are hundreds of people.
At nine o'clock, the judges, jurors and others have arrived, and the trial has begun! (Because the trial of a case also takes at least a month to conclude the case and pronounce the verdict, the procedure is very complicated, and there is not only one trial, there is the first trial, the second trial, and the fifteen-day defense period, which is too long. After the judge arrived, the clerk had already announced the court discipline to the people in the courtroom, and checked whether the parties and the attorneys acting on their behalf were present, and when the judge and others arrived, the clerk asked everyone to sit down and began to report to the judge the appearance of the parties and their agents ad litem.
The judge announced: "The trial is now open, and the parties and the attorney on behalf of the parties will verify their identities!" ā
First, Ge Laohan and Feng Xue successively explained their identities to the court, name, age, occupation, place of origin, etc., and then it was the turn of the defendant's representative, and it was the six chengguan of the first urban management department who appeared in court at that time, because there were too many people, so one person was selected as the representative.
After the identity verification was completed, the judge asked the parties if they had any objections to the identity of the person appearing in court on the other side.
Ge Laohan and the deputy director both replied that there was no objection!
The judge also asked: "Have the parties applied for the recusal of the collegial panel members, clerks, and evaluators (or inquest officers, translators)?" ā
If a case involves members of the collegial panel, there will undoubtedly be a suspicion of obstructing judicial fairness, so both parties have the right to request the recusal of one of them, and if someone needs to recuse himself, the judge will announce that the court will adjourn the court now, and the court will reconvene the collegial panel until the court reconstructs the collegial panel.
Neither Ge Laohan nor the defendant applied for the recusal of a member of the collegial panel, so the judge announced that the trial would continue.
Then the judge said, "The plaintiff can now present his case of fact!" ā
Ge Laohan explained the incident in detail, and Feng Xue made some additions: "Your Excellency, my client's selling sweet potatoes on the corner of the street is a violation of business rules and regulations, and the defendant can be punished in accordance with the rules and regulations, but the defendant and the other six people got out of the car and arbitrarily kicked down my client's oven without saying a word, causing the charcoal fire in the oven to pour out and burn my client's legs and feet, and causing a fourth-degree disability, which is proved by the disability materials made by the hospital!" ā
Immediately, an inquest examiner came to take away the materials and checked the authenticity of the evidence in court, and then said to the judge: "Your Excellency, the evidence presented by the plaintiff is true!" ā
The judge nodded and asked, "The defendant and the attorney are now answering the appeal of the plaintiff and his lawyer!" ā
The defendant's lawyer immediately stood up and shouted, "Oppose! Your Excellency, my client has no objection to the other facts stated by the plaintiff, except that my client did not kick down the plaintiff's sweet potato oven as soon as he got out of the car, and the plaintiff fell to the ground completely caused by the plaintiff's own panic and burned his feet! ā
The judge asked, "Lawyer for the defendant, what evidence do you have to prove that the plaintiff knocked down the oven himself?" ā
The defendant's lawyer sneered and said to the judge: "Your Excellency, please allow our witnesses to testify in court!" ā
Judge: "Allowed!" ā
A young man with long hair was brought in by the bailiff, and after the witness walked onto the witness stand, the judge said: "Witness, you must state the true situation of the facts when you testify in court, and it is illegal to distort the facts and testify falsely, and once the court finds out, you will definitely be held responsible, do you understand?" ā
The young man was a little frightened at once, but then he calmed down and nodded, "Yes, Your Excellency! ā
The judge said, "Please state your identity!" Is there a relationship with the people of both parties at the time? ā
"My name is Hu Libo and I am twenty-three years old! Currently working as a waiter at a restaurant! I don't know either party! ā
"Now tell me what you saw!"
Hu Libo recounted what he saw, but said that the chengguan kicked down the oven because Ge Laohan himself pushed the oven down in a panic, and the charcoal fire in the oven poured out and scalded Ge Laohan.
After Hu Libo finished speaking, although Feng Xue had long known that this guy had been bought by the defendant, he was still so angry that he was completely reversing black and white! She immediately stood up and said, "Your Excellency, I have a question for the witnesses!" ā
The judge nodded, "Allowed!" ā
Feng Xue walked up to Hu Libo and asked, "Witness, you just said that Old Man Ge knocked down the oven by himself in a panic, right?" ā
Hu Libo nodded affirmatively: "Yes!" ā
Feng Xue immediately turned around and said loudly: "Your Excellency, he lied!" He said that Ge Laohan pushed it down by himself, which is inconsistent with the situation after the oven fell to the ground, I have a photo of the oven after it fell to the ground, the oven was poured to Ge Laohan, if he pushed it, the oven should be poured forward, not to himself! As he spoke, he walked back to his seat and took out a few photos from the file bag and handed them to the evidence examiner, who checked that it was correct, and said to the judge: "Your Excellency, the evidence is valid!" ā
Seeing this, the people present in the hall all made an uproar, and began to discuss one by one that those who appeared in court to give false testimony would be held legally responsible, and the witnesses' faces became very pale! He didn't expect that he used the word "push", and the opposing lawyer caught his flaw!
"Silence, silence!" The judge struck his hammer and shouted.
After the intervention of the judge, the courtroom finally fell silent, and the judge said: "The evidence is conclusive! The testimony of the witnesses of the defense was invalid and he gave false testimony in court, and the bailiff took him down! ā
