Free Web NovelChapter 386: Chapter 273: Court Session! Trial!
Was it you who sent the draft article a few days ago?
Wang Hao was taken aback, then suddenly delighted. He quickly responded, "It was me, it was me, Lawyer Chai. Actually, I really admire you. I think..."
Upon hearing this.
Chai Shiring was not happy; instead, his face showed anger.
Damn it.
These past few days, he used a bunch of connections and spent a lot of money to dissociate himself from the hospital, finally getting public opinion to completely overlook him.
As a result, a single article overnight brought everyone’s attention back to him!
One night, just one night, and it ruined a month of his efforts!
At that moment, Chai Shiring could have killed Wang Hao, so how could he possibly show him a good face now?
He immediately shouted in a low growl:
"Get lost!!!"
After saying that.
He walked into the court with a gloomy face.
Leaving a group of reporters looking at each other, watching Wang Hao’s embarrassment.
Wang Hao’s face was incredibly unpleasant. He was clearly promoting the other’s righteous image, yet he was insulted... truly no conscience!
But soon, no one paid him any more attention.
The defendant has arrived!
In the distance, Xu Liang was slowly ascending the court steps with a group of people.
The crowd was excited and just about to approach for an interview, but unexpectedly...
Xu Liang didn’t even glance at them and walked right past!!!
Seeing this, the crowd had no choice but to leave in disappointment, waiting for the trial to begin.
...
...
In the waiting room.
"Stop daydreaming, we only have forty minutes until the trial starts, how can you still be napping!?"
"Especially you, Old Zhao, you’re the lead judge on this case, and you’re setting an example by resting. Do you think that’s appropriate?"
"Why is there no sense of urgency!?"
"..."
In the waiting room, a juror said to Zhao Yi, exasperated.
Upon hearing this.
Zhao Yi opened his eyes and glanced at his two colleagues beside him.
Yes.
Unfortunately, Zhao Yi was once again the judge for this case. He had tried to reject and decline, but it was clear he couldn’t escape it... freёweɓnovel.com
As for why ’again’....
"This appeal is very strange. Judge Zhao, based on your understanding of the appellant, what do you think he wants to do?"
The judge, seeing Zhao Yi awake, softened his tone and pondered for a moment before asking suspiciously.
Zhao Yi knew Xu Liang the best.
In the entire High Court, if he claimed to be second, no one dared to claim first!
But, well....
"Understand? I understand nothing!"
Zhao Yi chuckled, then smacked his lips, and began to speak.
"Who knows what this kid is thinking? Anyway, we’ll just proceed with a normal judgment. If nothing works, we can always rule it as an emergency avoidance with no criminal liability." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Xu Liang never had any pattern in his cases.
One moment he could be discussing the case with you,
but the next moment, like a lunatic, he might suddenly flip the table and refuse to cooperate!
The evidence in his hand doesn’t form a logical chain at all, yet somehow it’s completely enough to establish the case. If Zhao Yi understood anything about him, it would be....
"Relax a bit, if you guys are too tense later and can’t sleep at night, don’t blame me."
Zhao Yi kindly advised his colleagues.
His colleague twitched at the corner of his mouth, "What kind of reminder is that!?"
Zhao Yi laughed and said, "This kid doesn’t play by the rules. Do you believe he’ll have a surprise evidence attack later!?"
Evidence surprise attack?
The two jurors were a bit flustered.
Ever since they got promoted to the High Court, they hadn’t heard this term for a long time.
This thing generally only occurs in lower courts, rarely in intermediate ones, but in High Court... this is the realm of authority!
Here, a surprise evidence attack offends authority!
A lawyer would have to be crazy to do that unless they can’t stand seeing their client win and want to lose intentionally!
Seeing this, Zhao Yi laughed.
"Hey, wait and see, this guy will definitely have a surprise evidence attack."
Saying this, Zhao Yi paused, smacked his lips, and said blandly:
"At least until now, I’ve never seen him handle a case in a regular manner."
"So discussing it now is useless. He won’t present evidence related to what we’ve got. Just take a nap, so you won’t have trouble sleeping tonight; that’s the best solution."
Public opinion says Xu Liang is a savior, a national lawyer.
But the pain in this, only Zhao Yi knows!
"This...." the juror hesitated.
Until....
A series of announcements suddenly echoed from all directions.
"Please enter, Judge and jurors...."
The voice was female, if he remembered correctly, it was the notification officer.
Zhao Yi paused, then took a deep breath, stood up, furrowed his brows, and slowly walked towards the courtroom with the two judges.
He actually had one more thing left unsaid.
And that is, hearing the other party’s case... is very mentally taxing!
Zhao Yi constantly speculated in his heart what on earth Xu Liang was planning, while countless illegal and criminal events based on the hospital extended in his mind.
Until...
"Screech~"
The courtroom door slowly opened.
The majestic and imposing scene appeared in front of them, as if it was a supreme hall.
In the audience seats, both prosecution and defense stood up at this moment, showing the most basic respect to the judges and others.
Zhao Yi took a deep breath, then with heavy footsteps, slowly walked up to the judge’s bench.
"Bang!"
He raised the gavel and gave it a slight tap.
The crisp sound attracted everyone’s attention, and immediately, a voice filled with majesty, as solemn as the peak of a towering mountain, appeared beside everyone’s ears.
"This court is now hearing the ’Tianshan Hospital Counterfeit Drug·Case’ in Qingshi City. The first trial was held by the Qingshi City Intermediate Court. On May 17, the defendant Wu Fang, Kong Jian were sentenced..."
"According to the materials shown, the defendants Wu Fang, Kong Jian smuggled in Qingshi City in 2004..."
"The first trial ruling is as follows."
"The defendants Kong Jian, Wu Fang are sentenced to three years imprisonment, suspended for three years!"
"Due to dissatisfaction with the verdict, the defendants legally appealed, and now Lanshan Province High Court is holding the second trial by law."
"Now, I announce..."
Speaking.
With everyone’s attention, Zhao Yi paused slightly and then dropped the hammer.
"Bang!"
"Court is in session!!!"
After speaking.
Zhao Yi added, "Everyone, take your seats. The case trial will proceed by law now."
Upon hearing these words.
Everyone bent down and sat on the bench.
In theory, mainly when a case begins, the plaintiff is asked first. But this case is different; the second trial is convened by the defendants’ appeal.
So...
"Defendant, may I ask, what is your opinion regarding the verdict of the first trial?"
Zhao Yi turned his head, looking at the defendant Xu Liang, frowning, constantly pondering what the other party might be up to.
Dissatisfied with the verdict?
Generally, appeals or overturning a case are mainly due to dissatisfaction with the verdict.
And Xu Liang....
"Respected presiding judge and those present in the hearing, the reason for our appeal is not due to the judgment of the first trial."
"It’s because we had an oversight in handling the documentation, forgetting to include a piece of information in the folder submitted to the court, which was an unexpected error on our part."
Xu Liang stood up and spoke gently.
While processing documents... a file was missed!?
There was no significant reaction from the hearing seat, feeling generally consistent with what the other party said.
After all, during exams, someone can forget both their ID and admission ticket, so it’s natural for some crucial moments in court where a lawyer might forget to bring evidence, resulting in a recess to retrieve it.
Xu Liang is human too.
Humans are prone to errors!
But....
’Is he fooling ghosts?’
Zhao Yi’s corner of the eye twitched, but he didn’t interrupt.
Based on his understanding of Xu Liang... this kid never spoke a truthful word; it was all just nonsense!
Forgot to submit the evidence? Back then in Sunzhou, wasn’t there someone who liked to roam, wandering into the funeral hall at 1:30 AM, is this true too!?
Moreover, why not submit the evidence during the evidence period?
Overall, except for the evidence, Zhao Yi doesn’t believe a single punctuation mark from him.
Silently, he watched Xu Liang.
"Defendant, may I ask what evidence it is? Can it be submitted by law now?" another judge inquired.
The judge was helpless too.
Zhao Yi had accurately predicted; this guy dared to play evidence ambush in the High Court....
Daring to do this, there are only two possibilities.
One, he never wants to be a lawyer in this life.
Two... he is very confident in the evidence, knowing the severity of the evidence is enough to overshadow the act of evidence ambush!
"It can be submitted."
Xu Liang nodded, while speaking, he pulled out some documents.
He introduced:
"During the first trial, we mentioned the body of the victim Li Ye and the cause of Li Guang’s death."
"Wherein, Li Guang’s corneas disappeared and were illegally transplanted."
"And Li Guang died due to blood extraction by the hospital; his blood disappeared by thirty percent, categorized as severe blood loss, ultimately leading to his death!"
While speaking.
Everyone recalled the process of the first trial in their minds, nodding subconsciously.
Until Xu Liang suddenly changed the topic....
"But, we overlooked another matter... which is...."
"Li Guang’s leukemia itself!!!"
The moment those words fell.
Xu Liang’s sharp eyes, like a blade, slicing through the air, piercing the space, landed directly on Han Chengguang.
"Our investigation into the health conditions of Li Guang’s four generations of ancestors showed none had leukemia, which means, his leukemia was not caused by genetic inheritance!"
"But because other individuals used improper means, artificial factors led the victim’s family of three to develop blood cancer!!!"
After his words fell.
Everyone present was stunned.
Artificially induced blood cancer?
How is this possible!?
You can suffocate a person to death or cause death due to excessive blood loss.
But how can you make someone develop leukemia?
This doesn’t make sense at all; leukemia itself is an accidental product, ordinary people can’t control it, and anyone capable wouldn’t spend their time researching ways to induce blood cancer in others.
Even Chai Shiring thought Xu Liang was talking nonsense, until....
He suddenly saw Han Chengguang beside him, and at this sight, Chai Shiring suddenly felt as though plunged into an ice cellar.
Only to see, Han Chengguang was utterly stunned, his eyes filled with terror, though he feigned composure, his tightly clenched hands betrayed him long ago.
This....
Suddenly, Chai Shiring’s pupils contracted, his back chilled, as though his heart was gripped by an invisible hand.
"Thump... thump!!!"
The pharmaceuticals... surely can’t be worse than the hospital!?
To know, the hospital indeed extracted blood, draining an eight-year-old child alive, turning them into a mummy!!!
Chai Shiring lowered his voice, as if roaring from his throat, angrily:
"President Han... what have you done!?"
...
...
