Chapter 597: Case Filing
Maggs put a warrant on the table and pushed it to the edge of the table on the other side with his index finger, "Have you heard anything interesting these days?"
Wallace nodded and replied, "I heard that Mr. Donald, the new mayor of Otis City, conspired with members of the Capetian family to assassinate the former mayor, Mr. Doolin, and the assassination failed, and Mr. Doolin was injured as a result. Later, for unknown reasons, the matter subsided for a while, and it was not until this morning that I heard from the Ministry of Justice that Mr. Doolin had taken the two parties to court. ”
Maggs raised his hand, his index finger off the paper on the table, and he pointed at Wallace, "Very good, this is the special permission I issued that requires you to investigate this matter, we should not tolerate such a rule-breaking person, and you are the defender of the rules." Investigate whether there is any collusion or other relationship between Mr. Donald and the Capets. If this is true, come to me with the evidence, you know how to do it!", his fingers curled up and buckled on the table, "You can go about your work!"
Wallace bowed slightly, took two steps forward and picked up the special permit issued by Maggs himself, carefully folded it and put it in the pocket of his jacket, and then withdrew.
Both in the past and in the present, the attitude of the empire towards the aristocracy and the ruling party towards officials is the same, that is, to try not to investigate these people as much as possible, so that they have a basis of full trust. In the past, this was a necessary means for the royal family and His Majesty the Emperor to protect their own rights and interests, and if there was constant doubt about the character of the nobles and whether they had betrayed them, then they would inevitably lose the support of these nobles, and civil war could break out as a result, and even lead to the shaking of imperial power.
In the new era, in order to gain more supporters, the ruling party will not investigate any party insiders without authorization. The composition of the new party is very complex, composed of members of multiple classes such as aristocrats, capitalists, and commoners, and once it touches the nerves of a certain class, it is very likely to cause a series of problems. Powell is a typical example of this, Maggs knows that Powell is now on the opposite side of himself, but he still does not take any action against Powell, just to prevent the civilian class members within the new party from panicking after the accident at the top of the new party that has climbed up from the civilian class.
So the internal investigation department rarely takes the initiative to do anything, and most of the time they are idle and have nothing to do, cooperate with this department to do something, or help that department to do something. Only after Maggs has signed a special permission order will the internal affairs department begin a comprehensive forensic investigation of party members. Maggs also recognized some problems in the party's investigative department, so he planned to set up a new department to target official crimes, which had not yet been established and was still being planned.
He hopes that this neutral and relatively moderate department can replace the internal affairs department of the old and new parties, and make more progress and achievements in countering official crimes.
There are two reasons why Maggs issued this special order after the Capetian family had entered the market.
The first reason is that he intends to use the Capet family as a springboard, so that they can pull more aristocratic capitalists to join the case, implicate more aristocratic capitalists, and then crush them all. This may satisfy the sociologist's hypothesis of the redistribution of power and profit to the crushed class. And these people really should be transformed, so only after the Capetian family enters can they start planning.
Second, Maggs had one last trace of hesitation about Donald, and if he chose to give in and compromise, he might be transferred to the position of mayor of a remote city. But four years later, when Maggs is about to step down, he will definitely transfer Donald back, even if he can't go to a special district like Otis or a bustling city to be mayor, an ordinary city can still be. Because he is a pawn, he can be said to be an "innocent" pawn in the whole plan, he has suffered what he should not have suffered, and he has adhered to his principles, and he should be given some compensation.
The original plan was for the Song Consortium to operate a person to become the mayor of Otis City, and with such a puppet mayor of the Capetian family, the Capetian family would definitely invest a lot of money and effort in Odis City earlier, which would become a grave they dug for themselves. But what they didn't expect was that the Capet family focused on the new special district in the south, and seemed to be indifferent to the vacant mayor of Otis in front of them, which made Mags's plan a little off.
In fact, in the final analysis, this deviation is still due to Durin. Because he killed Solo, there is no such person in the Capet family, a person who has lost face in Otis City, and is also competing for the position of the head of the family, and urgently needs to find face from Otis City with a certain family authority!
If Solo hadn't died, Dürin would have left his post and he would have persuaded the family to use some resources to run a newly baked mayor of Otis City, but the problem was that he was killed by Doolin, and the main members of the Capet family already knew it. Although there is no evidence linking Solo's disappearance to Doolin, everyone agrees that it must have been done by Dorin. At this time, if you stimulate this madman who has just lost his official position, and tear up the interests he left in Otis City, will he do crazy things again?
Quite possibly!
Therefore, the Capet family directly ignored the city of Otis next to their mouths, and in order to seize the opportunity in the south as soon as possible, they temporarily gave up the city of Otis for the time being.
It wasn't until Donald appeared that his presence attracted firepower to the Capet family, perhaps before that Capet Sr. was unwilling to miss the opportunity to go south because of a war with Doolin or something. But now that the opportunity in the south can be seized, and the mayor of Otis takes the initiative to deliver the meat to their mouths, there is no reason why they should not bite into it. If Durin really went berserk and went crazy about this and wanted to bite someone, he would definitely bite Donald first. By the time he bit Donald to death, there was enough evidence for the Capet family to defeat Durin directly in the front.
Sometimes the law is still a bit useful, especially when some powerful people take up the sharp blade of the law, and the law can be regarded as "just".
Under a series of coincidences and mutual influences, things became a lot more complicated, but in the end, they still went to the ending that they should have oriented according to the script, and the Capet family entered the game.
There are coincidences and deliberate in the whole process, and it can only be said that this world is really wonderful!
The second reason for this is that Donald has fallen into the camp of rotten aristocratic capital.
At noon on the same day, the Supreme Court of the Imperial Capital announced that an investigation had been opened against Mr. Doolin's accusations, and that it had entered the stage of collecting evidence, and at the same time issued restraining orders against Doolin, Donald, and Polly. Until the end of this case, the trio are not allowed to leave the empire, otherwise they will face very serious consequences.
This time, Du Lin invited the main partners of the law firm where Kevin once worked to form a gorgeous team of lawyers to fight for him, and for this reason, from the beginning of the preparation of the case to the end of the final trial of the case, Du Lin had to pay at least 800,000 lawyer fees for this legal team. In fact, he can ask Kevin to help him, but Kevin will soon be promoted to prosecutor, and he is also in a sensitive period, and it is inconvenient to use him for the time being.
Moreover, even if he can't appear in court, it doesn't mean that he can't appear in the lawyers' team, and it's normal to have private gatherings after work, and it's not illegal to exchange some business experiences. Everyone is a barrister, and how to exploit loopholes is clearer than the other.
Of course, after employing this group of people, Durin also put forward a request of his own, that is, to drag this case down as indefinitely as possible!
In fact, the evidence in his hand is already sufficient according to the lawyers, there are direct photos, there are eyewitnesses, basically this case is not difficult to win as long as you use a little force. But Durin knew very well that the trouble was not on his side, but on the Capet family's side, Solo's nephew seemed to be dead, at least that's what the people he bribed told him, Solo and Ernes were also finished, and the other side in this case could be said to be all dead.
Once the Capet family applies for death certificates from the courts, then the case will go straight to the withdrawal stage - the defendants are fucking dead, what's the point of this case going on?
Even if Durin didn't hire these lawyers, he would be able to guarantee that he would win the case by applying for the death certificates of these people.
But what good can it do to win this case?
Compensate?
The compensation of hundreds of thousands of dollars is nothing more than the natural disintegration and shedding of keratinized epithelial tissue after severe necrosis of the keratinized epithelial tissue, referred to as dandruff, not even a strand of hair. The loss of these hundreds of thousands will not make the Capet family hurt, Durin will not soar from now on if he gets these hundreds of thousands, and Mags will not catch a Capet and implicate more aristocratic capitalists. If no one gets any benefits, then we can't let this lawsuit end so quickly!
On the contrary, if this lawsuit drags on, first of all, Dühring will stand on the moral high ground, after all, he is the victim, and he is also a minority victim, and he can win the sympathy and tolerance of the mainstream view of society. The people who stand on the opposite side of the mainstream view of Doolin must be the villain, and the noble origins of Donald and the Capetian family will become the object of hatred of the mainstream of society, and they will be suspicious, hateful, disgusted, and hostile to these people under the impetus of public opinion.
The boiling public opinion will become an invisible knife, constantly cutting the flesh of the Capet family and the Song Consortium, and with a series of other actions, the Capet family will be in great trouble!
