After a short while, Jiang Xue and I walked up to Lawyer Liang, and after she said "I know", she hung up the phone.

Lawyer Liang stood in front of me and Jiang Xue, she looked hesitant, and after being silent for a while, she looked at me and asked in a low voice.

"Mr. Xue, in Zhang Yunluo's case, do you have something to hide from me?"

Jiang Xue and I immediately looked at each other when I heard this, I was stunned for a moment, and said, "I have told you everything I know...... Lawyer Liang, what do you mean by that? ”

Lawyer Liang glanced at me and Jiang Xue respectively, and after a deep sigh, he said, "Because I just received a phone call, it was my assistant in the law firm, and he told me that there was a problem with the wine you gave him before after it was detected by the relevant departments. Among them, the wine that Zhang Yunluo drank that night was the ingredient of the existing industrial alcohol, commonly known as 'fake wine'......"

She paused, looked me sharply in her eyes, and continued.

"Do you know the consequences? This means that if the opposing lawyer also has this information, it will say that it is your hometown tavern that sells fake alcohol, and the customer has severe alcohol poisoning, counting the previous incident, the situation will become very tricky, and it is even possible that your tavern will not be able to save it! Combined with you and Zhang Yunluo, the two of you have had a holiday before, why are other people okay when they go to your tavern to drink, but there is a problem with the wine he drinks? Is this suspicious that you did it on purpose? ”

"Mr. Xue, I am your defense lawyer, and I must have a very clear understanding of the client's situation, why haven't you talked to me about these things before?"

I was silent for a while, then took a deep breath and confessed: "Lawyer Liang, it's not that I'm hiding anything from you, but I only learned about the latest situation this morning......"

Immediately afterwards, I informed Lawyer Liang of the matter of the employee Ah Can, although I didn't know what Ah Can wanted to leave me, but I knew that it must be related to Zhang Yunluo's accident.

After listening to Lawyer Liang, she raised her hand and glanced at the time on her watch, and said, "Then it depends on that employee, what he left for you, if we can grasp it in advance, it may be able to become defense evidence in the trial." ”

Jiang Xue suddenly understood, she immediately took out her mobile phone and called Gao Hangfeng again, thinking about urging Gao Hangfeng to get the things in her hands as soon as possible and bring them to the court.

However, Gao Hangfeng didn't answer Jiang Xue's call at this time, maybe he was on the way to prepare to go out.

"It's too late, let's go in, it's almost time for the trial." Lawyer Liang sighed helplessly and said, "Now I can only go to the court in front to deal with it and see what the other party says." ”

After a short while, we went inside the courthouse, and soon it was time for the court session.

"Wutong District Primary People's Court, for Zhang Yunluo and ...... Now, it's officially begins! ”

The court is in session, and this is the first time I have come to the courtroom since I grew up, and I am still sitting in the "defendant" chair. Behind me, there were quite a few people sitting, including Jiang Xue.

Inadvertently, I glanced at Jiang Xue and saw that she was holding her mobile phone with an anxious look on her face, replying to messages. I guess she may be "moving rescuers" for me, or maybe she is in contact with Gao Hangfeng.

However, it was still too late for all this, Zhang Yunluo's defense lawyer, Sun Yu, she had already had evidence that Zhang Yunluo had drunk fake wine when he was drinking in our tavern that night, which was a test report.

In court, Lawyer Liang and I also fell into a very passive situation, simply at the mercy of Sun Yu. Slowly, I already knew that the final outcome of this trial would definitely be a defeat for our side.

“…… The verdict is now pronounced as follows: Xue Jingfan, the person in charge of the defendant's hometown tavern, compensated the plaintiff Zhang Yunluo for medical expenses and mental damages of 80,000 yuan, and the hometown tavern was fined 300,000 yuan for selling fake wine to consumers, which caused consumers to have alcohol poisoning, which was an improper act, so the hometown tavern was fined 300,000 yuan and suspended for 15 days for rectification, counting from the same day......"

After listening silently, the first thing I thought in my heart was how to remedy and solve the problem.

The two add up, a total of 380,000, I am full of thinking, how can I make up this 380,000? !

The hometown tavern has just spent money to do the Lantern Festival activities, and has spent money to purchase a large number of drinks, and there is not so much money on the books at all, plus myself, I just returned to Kyoto City after the New Year's expenses, and I have no savings.

All of a sudden, I was in a situation where I had a great headache...... And Jiang Xue in the audience also looked at me with an extremely worried expression, since the verdict was announced, her eyes have never left me.

At the end of the first trial, Jiang Xue and I walked out of the door of the courthouse together, and at the side of the door, Lawyer Liang looked at me, she hesitated for a moment, and said.

"Mr. Xue, the first trial is over, do you want to continue the lawsuit?"

She paused, then added.

"But I need to remind that I have tried my best to keep the amount of the fine down, and we don't have all the evidence in favor at the moment, unless you find evidence during this period, we will have a chance."

When Lawyer Liang spoke, Jiang Xue kept looking directly at me. Seeing that I was silent for a while, Jiang Xue whispered to me.

"Lao Xue, no matter how you choose, I support you, you decide."

I thought of the follow-up in my heart, if it were me, I would really consider continuing the lawsuit and fighting Zhang Yunluo to the end, but now it's not just my own business, behind me, there are two stores in the hometown tavern, and if I continue to consume him like this, it will only be us who will suffer in the end.

What's more, the tavern is already short of funds on its books now, and it has been fined for fifteen days of suspension of business for rectification, which is undoubtedly worse!

After being silent for a while, I exhaled heavily, looked at Lawyer Liang with a serious expression, and said my inner decision.

"Lawyer Liang, this lawsuit, that's it, I admit it, and I won't continue...... Lawyer Liang, thank you, I will transfer the lawyer's fees to you when I go back, thank you for your hard work. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Sure."

Lawyer Liang pondered for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "Got it, so be it...... I'll go first. ”

After Lawyer Liang left, I happened to see Zhang Yunluo's defense lawyer Sun Yu who came out of the court, she passed by me and Jiang Xue gently, her eyes were very contemptuous, and then said quietly beside us.

"Mr. Xue, my client has a sentence that I want to bring to you, he said: Even if he may be about to go to prison, he will do his best to pull you into the water, if you want to continue to fight the lawsuit, you will accompany you at any time, but we are still sure to win."

Before I could speak, Jiang Xue stood in front of me, glared at Sun Yu fiercely, and said angrily.

"What are you arrogant about? This is what you have planned! He Zhang Yunluo is a madman, an unscrupulous demon! ”

Sun Yu didn't mind Jiang Xue's cruel words at all, but warned with a smile: "Little sister, you have to pay attention to evidence when you speak, don't talk nonsense, be careful of accusing you of slander." ”

"You!"

Sun Yu waved at us, then walked away in front of us with his high heels.

I pulled Jiang Xue and signaled her not to be so impulsive, and then said softly: "It's okay, let her go, there's no need to make yourself so angry for her words, let's go." ”

Jiang Xue and I walked in the direction of the parking line one after the other, and at the same time, when we were about to get into the car, we suddenly heard someone shouting behind us.

Jiang Xue and I turned around at the same time to see that it was Gao Hangfeng, who had come to the court by car, holding a piece of paper in his hand, and hurriedly ran towards us.

"I got what Ah Chan left behind!"

When Gao Hangfeng walked in front of me, I indifferently glanced at the piece of paper he was holding in his hand and said softly.

"Lao Gao, there is no need anymore, the lawsuit is over, and the final result has been decided...... Let's go back. ”
