The beginning was serious, and the opposite side was scared by me and called the police!

Chapter 195 The scene of a large classmate reunion
After leaving the group chat.

He took a long breath and felt refreshed immediately.

These students...

We can only share wealth, not adversity.

When he was sued by Ma Ming, he actually made trouble.

It really made him sick.

"Husband, I think... If we don't pay back the money, why don't we hire a lawyer."

Tian Shulan on the side looked at the court summons again, and couldn't help but say.

She hasn't been to court though.

But I also know that when the trial is held, it will be much easier to have a lawyer.

Without a lawyer...

She doesn't even know how to fight a lawsuit.

however……

"It's just a big deal, 18 yuan, what kind of lawyer can I find? It doesn't cost money to find a lawyer?"

Meng Lei snorted coldly and refused directly.

"Our lawyer's fees in Yangcheng are at least several thousand. It is not easy for us to earn some money through hard work, so there is no need to spend it on it."

"Besides, it's no big deal even if you lose. Only a fool like Ma Ming would do this for 18 yuan. It's crazy!"

He shook his head.

I have no intention of getting a lawyer at all.

It costs money to find a lawyer.

In his opinion it was totally worthless.

In order to keep the 18 yuan, and then spend thousands of dollars, no matter how you think about it, you have a problem with your brain.

After hearing this, Tian Shulan also felt that what Meng Lei said made sense.

Only 18 yuan.

This kind of loan dispute case...

Even if he lost, the court would only award 18 yuan in compensation.

No profit if you win, no loss if you lose.

There is absolutely no need to care.

get a lawyer...

It's a bit overkill.

……

Yangcheng.

A certain hotel.

Ma Ming was lying on the bed, brushing the group of classmates.

After Meng Lei received the summons...

He actually yelled at him in the classmate group.

And after he explained the reason...

The classmates all stood by his side and kept demanding debts from Meng Lei.

as predicted.

During his four years in college, Meng Lei owed a lot of "debts".

All the students who dived were bubbling.

Among the classmates, there was an unprecedented debt collection event.

"Withdrawn from the group? Meng Lei actually quit the group?"

"When he was studying, he liked to take advantage of all kinds of petties. He didn't expect to refuse to pay back the money after graduation!"

"This person's three views are extremely wrong. The one who owes money is so angry. Why should he?"

"Ma Ming, I support you, sue him to death, sue him to death!"

"..."

soon.

Everyone in the classmate group noticed that Meng Lei had withdrawn from the group.

Continue to count Meng Lei's past "bad deeds".

In the past, everyone read to classmates, and many words were left unspoken.

But now...

Now that his face has been torn, Meng Lei also quit the group directly.

They have no scruples.

Meng Lei's "doings" were picked up one by one.

Borrowing money and not repaying it.

Love to be petty and cheap.

Pry the corner of the classmate's wall.

When something happens, hide behind the first time...

"He has done so many things?"

Ma Ming looked at the accusations in the classmate group, full of surprise.

He originally thought that Meng Lei just owed money and didn't pay it back.

did not expect……

There are more disgusting things than he imagined.

Usually one or two may be nothing.

But over time...

That is disgusting.

a time.

The entire classmate group hated Meng Lei extremely.

Meng Lei among his classmates...

It can be called ruined!
Usually, everyone didn't expose it, and they all maintained the illusion that the relationship between classmates was very good.

And this time...

Under the incident he sued, all contradictions broke out.

"My case will be heard in the Jincheng Court in four days. Students who have time can come and listen."

At last.

Ma Ming sent out an invitation in the classmate group.

He was just being polite.

after all……

After graduation, many people are very busy due to work, family and life reasons.

Difficult to find time for.

"Come on, I will definitely come, even if I ask for leave, I still want to come and see!"

"This lawsuit must be won. Although the money is not much, it is only right and proper to pay back the debt. You must not lose!"

"Four days later, right? Post the location of the court session, and I'll definitely come!"

"This grandson owes me 2000 yuan. I almost forgot about it. Today, I feel depressed again!"

"..."

under anger.

Quite a few students expressed their desire to take a look.

Want to get some justice.

strictly speaking.

They are all creditors.

The money lent to Meng Lei totaled tens of thousands.

But Meng Lei kept procrastinating and never planned to pay it back.

This time Ma Ming asked for 18 yuan...

It also reminded them of one thing from the side, if it doesn't work, they can also file a lawsuit!

I just took this opportunity...

Go to Ma Ming and ask, and see how the lawsuit is fought.

……

Jincheng.

Shanshui Garden District.

after get off work.

Qin Mu returned home.

Finished my homemade dinner.

Take out your phone and prepare to play a few games.

Suddenly received a message from Ma Ming.

"Up, there's a new development in the incident, that Meng Lei... suddenly made a big fuss in the classmate group today."

after the news.

It also comes with a long list of chat records in the classmate group.

of course.

Some students' avatars, nicknames and other privacy are mosaiced.

Qin Mu finished reading these chat records.

stunned for a moment.

Can't help but sigh: "The forest is so big, all kinds of birds have come out."

If you owe money, don't say it.

After being sued.

Meng Lei still has the face to question Ma Ming in the classmate group.

Those who owed money regarded themselves as uncles instead.

The key is people like Meng Lei...

Not a minority in life.

Selfish, greedy for petty gains, talk about feelings when borrowing money, and talk about feelings when paying back money.

all in all.

Others can suffer, but he will never suffer.

"Up, many of my classmates have lent money to Meng Lei, and they all want to sue. What do you think about this matter?"

Subsequently.

Ma Ming sent another message with a very polite tone.

It is an honorific at every turn.

"There are still four days until the court session, and they are all over the country. It is probably too late to sue temporarily."

Qin Mu thought for a while, and replied: "You can wait until your case is over, and then they will try a multi-person lawsuit and file a lawsuit in the court together."

A multi-person lawsuit is also known as a class action.

The incident of knocking on the load-bearing wall that Qinglan encountered before...

It is also a type of multi-person lawsuit.

At that time, the whole building was involved in the lawsuit.

And Meng Lei borrowed money from the whole class, but didn't pay it back...

The nature is worse.

It will definitely attract the attention of the court.

even……

It is also possible to file multi-person lawsuits in the form of suspected fraud.

In the criminal law, the crime of fraud specifically refers to the act of defrauding large amounts of public or private property by means of fabricating facts or concealing the truth for the purpose of illegal possession.

Meng Lei's purpose of borrowing money must be illegal possession.

As for the act of fabricating facts or concealing the truth, at first glance there is no such thing.

But in fact……

When Meng Lei borrowed money, he promised everyone that he would pay it back in two days.

This behavior is suspected of fabricating facts and defrauding the other party's property by means of "false repayment".

The penalty for fraud is determined by the amount.

Judicial Interpretation Provisions.

Defrauding public or private property worth more than 3000 yuan, more than 3 yuan, or more than 50 yuan shall be determined as "a relatively large amount", "a huge amount", or "a particularly huge amount" as stipulated in Article 260 of the Criminal Law.

From the screenshots of the chat records of his classmates...

A cursory look.

Meng Lei borrowed at least 3 yuan.

It can be considered as a huge amount.

The sentencing range is more than three years and less than ten years of fixed-term imprisonment and a fine.

The more borrowed, the longer the sentence.

Up to ten years of carefree life can be enjoyed!
"By the way, you can provide your attorney with the screenshots of the chats in the classmate group this time. This is also a type of supporting evidence, which can prove a high degree of probability."

Followed by.

Qin Mu reminded Ma Ming again.

Highly probable judgment.

In addition to the sufficiency of auxiliary evidence, statutory inferences can also be made based on the usual personality, reputation, and impressions of others.

Meng Lei's chat records in the classmate group, and his classmates' evaluation of him...

All can be used as evidence in this loan lawsuit.

It can be said……

Once the evidence was submitted this time, the case that originally lacked evidence was one step closer to victory.

……

Four days later.

Yangcheng.

After four long days, Ma Ming finally ushered in the date of the trial.

09: 30.

Together with his attorney, he came to the district court.

Into the civil court.

Just got in.

I saw familiar faces in the auditorium.

Can't help revealing the color of surprise.

"Da Liu, Lao Lin, you're all here?"

In the gallery.

Basically all the people who were bubbling in the classmate group at that time came.

There are more than 20 people!

To know.

Their class is not a major major, and there are only about thirty students in total.

this time……

What should come, basically came.

It can be seen that Meng Lei has caused public outrage among his classmates.

and.

They have all lent money to Meng Lei, ranging from one or two thousand to tens of thousands.

Those who borrow tens of dollars...

did not come.

At this time, the students sitting in the auditorium are greeting each other and chatting with each other.

"Da Liu, I heard that you have been a civil servant in the past two years? How is your salary now?"

"Old Wang, I've also heard about you. You divorced your wife, and the child is not yours. Let him go after this matter is over. Don't keep thinking about it."

"By the way, Lao Zhao, have you made any money in business in the past two years? I am now engaged in the timber business, and I have the opportunity to bring my old classmates."

"Where's Han Meimei? I heard that she borrowed [-] from Meng Lei. Why didn't she come this time?"

"..."

More than 20 students sat in the auditorium and got together.

Chatting twitter.

I haven't seen you for many years.

Many people sighed.

This sudden class reunion...

Totally beyond their expectations.

Not in a hotel, not in a KTV, but in a court!
Each of them sat in the gallery.

Watching the other two classmates go to court!
It's just a different experience.

"Why are so many people listening?"

Beside Ma Ming.

The attorney looked at the full auditorium and couldn't help frowning.

"Ahem, these are my old classmates who have lent money to Meng Lei. This time, I want to see if I can win the lawsuit. If they can win...they also want to sue."

Ma Ming coughed dryly and said truthfully.

The lawyer heard the words.

His expression suddenly brightened, and he was a little excited.

More than 20 people means there are more than 20 cases!
Just the agency fee...

That's a lot of money!

"and many more!"

Subsequently.

He suddenly thought of something, and asked vigilantly, "These people...how much money did they borrow from Meng Lei?"

Ma Ming blushed: "Don't worry, they all borrowed a lot, ranging from one or two thousand to tens of thousands, and none of them borrowed tens of dollars."

Speaking of it.

He was quite embarrassed.

It seems that he...

For 18 yuan, I have been busy up and down.

But he doesn't regret it.

If he didn't come forward, these students probably wouldn't think of suing.

Most likely……

Self-confessed dumb.

I think it’s fine if I don’t get the money back, and if I suffer a little loss, I will eat a little bit.

Many people have this mentality.

"That's good, this lawsuit... I will try my best to fight and try to help you get back the 18 yuan!"

The lawyer breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said generously.

This posture...

It seems that what you want is not 18 yuan, but 18.

"The defendant is here, the defendant is here!"

suddenly.

There was a commotion in the auditorium.

These students all turned around and looked at the gate of the civil court.

Nine fifty.

Meng Lei pinched, and his wife Tian Shulan walked into the civil court with a relaxed expression.

The two are facing this lawsuit...

Didn't take it too seriously.

There are no so-called lawyers around them.

Responding completely alone.

only……

The scene of the auditorium being overcrowded really shocked Meng Lei.

"This...this this..."

Looking at these "creditors", he was suddenly at a loss.

Four days ago.

After that incident happened in the group, he resolutely quit the group.

He completely ignored these classmates who asked him for money.

when he wanted to.

After graduation, they went their separate ways and rarely met each other in their entire lives.

It doesn't matter if the money is not paid back.

totally unexpected……

This group of people actually rushed to Yangcheng!

Even sat in the auditorium!

The title of him was also changed from Meng Lei to defendant.

"The defendant is really lucky. His wife is so good-looking."

"What's the use of having a good-looking wife? Those who don't pay back their debts have lost their character."

"If I owe money to others, I have to pay it back as soon as I have money, otherwise I have to remember it, and I won't be able to sleep in the middle of the night."

"People are different. Some defendants feel at ease that they can still owe money, and even regard themselves as uncles."

"..."

In the auditorium.

After these students saw Meng Lei, they all started to sneer.

After being made public in the group.

What Meng Lei did was known to them.

To Meng Lei's character...

They are even more disdainful.

Don't say anything else.

If you don't pay back the 18 yuan owed, there must be a moral problem!
Meng Lei and Tian Shulan blushed with anger when they heard everyone's undisguised discussions.

Just wanted to fight the Confucianism with words, annoy everyone...

I saw the presiding judge leading the judges and jurors into the courtroom.

"Boom-"

The gavel sounded.

The scene was solemn.

"Today, the Yangcheng District Court formally heard the case of Ma Ming v. Meng Lei for non-return of 18 yuan. I..."

After clarifying the main reasons of the case.

Then entered the court discipline reading link.

The clerk recited various court disciplines in court.

5 minute later.

After the discipline was read out, the presiding judge continued: "Now, the plaintiff is asked to read the indictment and state the reasons for the case."

Plaintiffs.

Hearing this, Ma Ming stepped forward immediately.

Shen Sheng said: "I sued Meng Lei for owing me 18 yuan a year ago, and I have been in arrears until now, and I have never paid it back."

"A year ago, I met Meng Lei..."

Followed by.

He briefly described the scene of borrowing money at that time.

And during the period, he asked Meng Lei to pay back the money several times, but Meng Lei talked about him, and even wanted to borrow money again.

At last.

Ma Ming took a deep breath, and concluded: "Here, I implore the court to order the other party to pay back 18 yuan, apologize to me publicly, and bear the legal fees."

And in the dock.

Meng Lei looked at this scene with cold eyes, and felt that Ma Ming's actions were a bit ridiculous.

For 18 yuan...

He actually stated the case in a serious manner, and put such a trivial matter on the line.

What he owed was 18 yuan, a pack of cigarettes!
It made him owe 18 yuan!
"Defendant, do you have an excuse for what the plaintiff said?"

And in court.

After listening to Ma Ming's statement, the presiding judge continued to ask.

Meng Lei shrugged.

He retorted: "He owed it when he said he owed it? Is there any evidence? I never owed him money at all, and he completely slandered me!"

He had already thought about this reason.

He remembered very clearly that when he borrowed money, he didn't write any IOUs or anything like that.

Actually.

He has borrowed so much money over the years.

Never wrote any IOU.

No receipt either.

Not to mention the interest.

As long as he refuses to admit it, the other party can't do anything with him!
before coming.

He also specifically asked the lawyer.

In lending disputes, if the plaintiff has insufficient evidence, the court is very likely to dismiss the claim on the grounds of insufficient evidence!

"It now appears that the focus of the dispute between the plaintiff and the defendant is that one party believes that there is a loan relationship, and the other party denies the loan relationship."

in court.

The presiding judge thought for a while and concluded: "Next, the case will revolve around whether there is a loan relationship."

"The plaintiff and the defendant are requested to present their respective evidences to support their respective views."

Subsequently.

The trial entered the link of proof and cross-examination.

Plaintiffs.

Ma Ming glanced at the lawyer next to him.

The lawyer understood, and quickly stood up, showing the evidence that had been sorted out one by one.

The evidence...

It is not direct evidence such as IOUs or IOUs, nor is it indirect evidence such as surveillance videos and photos.

It is mainly the chat records between two people, contact records, chat records in the classmate group, etc.

After being reminded by Ma Ming...

This lawyer has made it clear that the core point of the lawsuit is to strive for a high degree of probability.

If a highly probable approval can be obtained without sufficient evidence, it can also be determined that the other party has borrowed money and thus win the case.

"Defendant, do you have any doubts about the evidence? Did you say what was said above?"

After reviewing all the evidence, the presiding judge looked at Meng Lei again.

Meng Lei was full of disdain, shook his head and said with a smile: "What kind of evidence is this?"

"Whether I said it or not, it doesn't mean that I borrowed money from him."

"When did I borrow the money?"

"The screenshots of his chats are all slanderous words against me!"

"I was also angry at the time, so I just said that casually. I can't say that I killed someone, so I really killed someone, right?"

"Please also ask the court to find out and try it impartially!"

This situation...

He actually thought about it.

Although he said these remarks, none of them have any evidentiary effect.

therefore.

In a single sentence, he completely rejected the evidence that the other party had worked so hard to submit.

……

at the same time.

Jincheng.

nursing home.

Qin Mu was leading Zhang Qingyuan and others, sitting in the yard looking at the projection screen.

on the screen.

What was broadcast was the scene of the live trial of the Yangcheng District Court.

When fishing, he thought that being idle was also idle.

So he took out his phone and planned to look at Ma Ming's case.

result……

Seen by Zhang Qingyuan and others, they complained about his eating alone.

Without any choice.

He could only project the live broadcast of the trial.

"For the lawsuit of 18 yuan, this plaintiff is about to catch up with Xiao Qin, he is not a fan of Xiao Qin, is he?"

"Although the plaintiff made a fuss over a molehill, the defendant is also a bit hateful. They can't wrongly accuse him of owing 18 yuan, right?"

"If you don't pay back the 18 yuan, what kind of grievance is there between these two?"

"It's all admitted in the chat records that I owe money, isn't that considered direct evidence?"

"..."

Look at this loan dispute case.

Zhang Qingyuan and the others were puzzled and expressed their incomprehension.

One party insisted on 18 yuan.

One party just refused to give 18 yuan.

Even if the group chat records and money request records were provided, the defendant still refused to admit it.

The evidence was completely rejected.

Without IOUs and IOUs, it seems that the money really will not come back.

Today's young people borrow money...

It's completely different from what they were back then.

In their generation, even if they want to borrow money, the IOUs and IOUs must be clearly written, signed and pledged by both parties.

No matter how good the relationship is, write clearly.

The fear is that I will not admit it in the future.

After living for most of their lives, they have such a thing about human nature...

Deeply touched.

Really can't stand the test.

Once encountering any interest stimulus, a friend who stabs his friend twice every minute.

"Xiao Qin, the defendant has admitted that borrowing money is useless for these chat evidences?"

Sitting beside Qin Mu, Zhang Qingyuan couldn't help asking.

Qin Mu nodded: "Not to mention that chat records are easy to forge, the legal effect is very low, and they can only be used as evidence."

"Also, the defendant is right. He can't say that he killed someone, so he really killed him, right?"

"In everything, there must be direct evidence, a complete chain of evidence."

on the live screen.

The defendant was actually right.

The usual hiccups and chat records cannot be used as direct evidence.

For example.

Zhang San usually likes to brag, telling his colleagues every day that he is going to kill the unit leader.

As a result, the unit leader walked past him.

He misfired in an instant, obsequious.

When the leader left, he bragged to his colleagues again.

This can only be called mouth hi.

Not even preparatory to murder.

Because he did not take action, let alone direct evidence.

Do not commit a crime, let alone break the law.

The same is true for this matter. Even if this matter is mentioned in the chat records, it is not enough to prove the existence of a loan relationship.

"Isn't that... the money won't come back?"

Li Weiguo couldn't help asking after hearing the words.

Qin Mu smiled slightly.

Pointing to the projection screen, he said, "Don't worry, just look down."

In the auditorium at this time.

Ma Ming's classmates were all attentively listening to the trial.

Meng Lei's statement directly denying the evidence...

Make them very angry.
