124. The war of two men

Three people and three cars, if you make an appointment to drive over to the place, it doesn't seem good, I want to propose to find a place near the court, but Zhou Yu made a decision first: "Go to the store near Jia Xiaoru's house, first, come over there to familiarize, and second, it is convenient for her to go back after eating, so as not to drive back too late." ”

Xiao Dong glanced at me, shrugged his shoulders and had no objection: "Then let's go." ”

The three of them drove one after another, and I was the slowest to leave the courthouse, but when I arrived downstairs in the apartment and realized that I was not the last, Xiao Dong parked the car and walked towards me. After waiting for two minutes, I saw Zhou Yu's car slowly driving into sight.

I wondered in my heart, when did he drive so steadily?

There are not many shops near my apartment, so I found a hot pot restaurant nearby, and the problem came when I sat down. The position was four-seater, two-on-two, and both men were "gentlemen" standing at the table waiting for me to take a seat first. But when I sat down, I found that they were not seated, and I heard Zhou Yu say next to me: "Jia Xiaoru, sit inside." ”

Xiao Dong smiled and said: "Zhou Suo, you and Xiaoru are divorced, you still have to avoid suspicion." ”

Zhou Yu: "Prosecutor Xiao, even if I am divorced, I am still the father of the child in Jia Xiaoru's womb." ”

I have a black line on my forehead, what are they doing? Got on the bar for a position? Coughing dryly, he pointed to the other side and said, "Aren't there two positions over there, why bother to fight with me?" ”

They looked at each other, and they all agreed.

After the location problem was solved, it was time to get to the point, and Zhou Yu explained the general situation.

Probably the chemical plant was misoperated and caused the explosion, and two firefighters went in to put out the fire and then exploded twice, killing the firefighters. At that time, everyone present was deeply saddened, because the relevant matters near the end of the year were postponed to the next year, and the most important thing was the compensation for the families of the armed police members.

It stands to reason that the boss of the chemical plant should have taken out the money, but the boss not only refused to take the money out, but also refused to admit that the explosion was caused by the improper operation of his factory, but someone threw an open flame through the outer wall to enter. said that since he was not responsible, then the dead person had nothing to do with him, and he had warned him that the chemical gas was dangerous after the firefighters came.

After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he looked at me and asked, "If you help me analyze this situation, does the boss of the chemical plant have the responsibility to make due compensation and bereavement to the family of the deceased?" ”

I didn't rush to respond to him, but looked at Xiao Dong: "What do you think?" ”

Xiao Dong raised his eyebrows: "Want to hear my opinion?" ”

Isn't this nonsense? Otherwise, what is he doing here, sitting and eating hot pot?

Xiao Dong saw the meaning in my expression, smiled lightly and then spoke: "This matter depends on how much evidence your police collect, such as the surveillance video in the chemical plant, the collection of confessions from insiders, and whether what the boss said is true." Did he warn you about the danger of chemical gases and the possibility of causing a secondary explosion? ”

Zhou Yu frowned and said disapprovingly: "Could it be that he warned us, the police, and let the fire spread?" So what's the use of the fire police? What's the use of us police officers? ”

Xiao Dong was unmoved: "I'm just talking about things." If the surveillance video is well preserved, and no one outside the factory has thrown an open flame in before the explosion, then the cause of the explosion will only be in his factory, and he should bear this responsibility and bear all the compensation costs; On the contrary, the open flames were really thrown in from the outside, so how can you settle the account for this explosion? ”

I agreed with Xiao Dong's analysis, so I nodded and said: "That's true, his chemical plant can be opened there, and there is a danger warning, if outsiders throw open flames inside, then the person directly responsible is not the boss." In addition, the confessions of the employees on duty that night were very important, and they were the key to determining whether there were any operational irregularities in the factory. ”

Zhou Yu's face was very heavy, "You mean, if this factory did not operate in violation of regulations, and the accident was caused by external factors, then the compensation for the two armed police soldiers would not be obtained?" ”

I said, "It's not that you can't get it, it's that it's very little, because the director doesn't take the main responsibility." ”

"Why not take the main responsibility? He opened the chemical plant, and the accident occurred in his factory, so why did people die like they died in vain? It's too chilling, isn't it? Zhou Yu's integrity is up again, he is often paranoid when it comes to morality, but many things are not morally reasonable, and there are laws in this world to check and balance.

Xiao Dong smiled coldly and said, "Why? Of course, the law is the law. Zhou Suo, what I heard you mean is that the source of this explosion accident has been found, has the person who threw the open flame been found in the monitoring archive? ”

Zhou Yu was silent.

My heart sank, and it seemed that I was guessed by Xiao Dong. I remember that Zhou Yu was very depressed when he came back from dealing with the accident, and he felt very sad for the two firefighters who died, and mentioned more than once that he wanted to go to their homes to condole, and he must have been there.

I lowered my voice and said, "Tell me, who is the source of the flames?" Since we want to solve the problem, we must explain the situation clearly, otherwise it will be difficult to win the rights and interests of the families of the two armed policemen. ”

Zhou Yu groaned and spoke: "The surveillance recorded that two boys outside the wall had approached the chemical plant, they were playing and throwing guns, due to the problem of perspective, it was impossible to photograph whether they threw open flames into the factory head-on, but the time point of the two approaching coincided with the explosion." We have already investigated these two boys, they are two brothers, the eldest is 10 years old, the younger is 7 years old, the family is very ordinary, and the father is still recuperating at home due to a work-related injury. ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help frowning, and before I could speak, Xiao Dong sneered and asked, "So do you think that if this family wants to compensate, they don't have the economic strength at all?" And then put your brain on the chemical plant owner? In a sense, you belong," he paused and spat out two words: "Blackmail!" ”

We were shocked, Xiao Dong's words were too heavy, and Zhou Yu's starting point and motive were not blackmail.

obviously saw Zhou Yu's eyes flashing with anger, thinking that he would break out regardless of the occasion, but he suppressed his anger in an instant, and said coldly: "Prosecutor Xiao is serious, as a policeman, I don't know the law and break the law, and now even if the surveillance photographs the two children playing outside the wall, it is not certain that the source of the explosion must be caused by these two children; Second, the director of the chemical plant is just a one-sided statement, he said that it was caused by an open flame, so it must be? And what factory director will claim that his factory is not standardized, and the employees are not operating properly? Your lawyers like to use the law to talk about things, while we police like to use evidence to speak. ”

I can almost describe Zhou Yu as "impressive", not only did he not jump like thunder because of Xiao Dong's deliberate provocation, but he could still analyze the head of the Tao so calmly, and his aura was not inferior to Xiao Dong.

Even Xiao Dong's eyes were surprised, but he saw a lot, and quickly lost his emotions, and only said to Zhou Yu: "I'll wait and see." However, the next sentence was: "Zhou Suo, in fact, the person you really want to find today is me." ”

Zhou Yu's expression was awe-inspiring, he squinted his eyes but also smiled, "It's still Prosecutor Xiao's sharp eyes, and he has a unique vision for people and things." This case has been transferred to your court. ”

I was stunned, why did the situation change sharply? And Zhou Yu said that the chemical plant case has reached the court, why don't I know?

Xiao Dong said: "I went to Beijing to study two days ago, and I just learned about this case from the leader. However, didn't I hear that Zhou was going through the resignation procedures? Why are you still bothering about this? ”

"As a one-day policeman, I have to do my duty well, and I am still the director of the Longmen Police Station before the formalities are completed. The chemical plant is under my purview, and the matter is in my hands, how can I leave it alone? I'm temporarily applying for a later transfer. However, Prosecutor Xiao, since the case is bound to come to you for review, there may be more intersections between us later, and there will often be some evidence presented in the past, and we will have to trouble you at that time. ”

Xiao Dong: "It's just a matter of doing their job, no need to be so polite." ”

Zhou Yu shook his head, "I'm not polite to you, but I'll say the words first, so as not to cause friction in the future." ”

Xiao Dong was not humble either, and said bluntly: "Each of them is their own duty, even if there is friction, it is due to work, as you said, our court is subject to the law, and if you get evidence, it will naturally be reviewed in accordance with the procedures and done according to the law." ”

I sniffed out the saber rattling.

Coughed dryly twice and deliberately diverted the topic: "Have you eaten enough?" ”

In fact, the dishes on the table have basically not moved, and I haven't bothered to eat since I sat down, and I have been discussing things, so I moved my chopsticks a few times. I secretly regret in my heart, I shouldn't have pulled the two of them together, knowing that it was not right, what good thing could happen if they met together.

But at that time, the thought was that I didn't want to be alone with Zhou Yu too much, and Xiao Dong did have more experience in legal counsel than me, and there was another idea that Zhou Yu was retreating, so I took advance as retreat, and borrowed Xiao Dong to force him back.

Obviously, it didn't work much.

On the contrary, it makes me feel that Zhou Yu's fighting spirit is more high-spirited when facing Xiao Dong.

A hot pot, eat proudly. When he left, Xiao Dong went to pay the bill, but he heard the waiter say that the order had already been bought, and turned his eyes to Zhou Yu in surprise, why didn't I know when he went to buy it?

Xiao Dong shrugged his shoulders and didn't say much.
