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

Chapter 196 You are too happy
As a four-year classmate.

They are very clear about Meng Lei's behavior.

after receiving the subpoena.

Meng Lei once publicly accused Ma Ming of disregarding the friendship of classmates in a group chat.

illustrate……

He really owes money.

But now the court is confronting him, but he directly denies it.

Push away the matter of borrowing money.

"Good guy, I always thought that Meng Lei's character was not good, but I never thought he could be so shameless."

"It's 18 yuan, and he will deny it in court."

"No, my high blood pressure is about to come up."

"How can a man be so shameless? It's only 18 yuan. He still refuses to admit it when he sues in court!"

"..."

Everyone stared at Meng Lei in the dock.

Couldn't help whispering.

I saw Meng Lei's face was normal, without the slightest sign of guilt.

Said very frankly.

as if……

He really didn't owe the 18 yuan.

in court.

The presiding judge also glanced at the dock, and continued: "The evidence is indeed not enough to prove that the defendant has borrowed money."

"Does the plaintiff have any other evidence?"

Legally speaking.

These evidences are all auxiliary, and it is entirely possible for Meng Lei not to admit it.

This link...

It was originally a link in civil litigation where both parties presented evidence and cross-examined evidence.

Plaintiffs.

Ma Ming was also annoyed by Meng Lei's shamelessness.

Hearing the presiding judge's question, he quickly looked at the lawyer beside him.

The lawyer saw it.

Standing up unhurriedly, he said seriously: "Dear presiding judge, judges, and all jurors, our evidence has been listed."

"To be honest, this loan is a cash loan, and we have not made any IOUs or IOUs, and there is no direct evidence."

"But we can list the borrower's past behavior and evaluation among classmates."

"Meng Lei is usually greedy for petty gains. During college, he used various excuses to borrow money from other students, but he pretended to forget about it afterwards and never paid it back."

He spoke slowly.

He told what he knew about Meng Lei's personality and his representative deeds.

And in the dock.

Meng Lei, who was originally very calm, turned ugly instantly when he heard the words.

He has indeed done all these things.

But few people know.

Even his current wife doesn't know that he borrowed so much money before.

But now...

But it was shaken out under the audience in the hall.

It's like ruining him.

To know.

Generally speaking, civil dispute cases are publicized to the whole society.

Their 18 yuan loan dispute this time...

It is a case of public hearing.

This will do great damage to his reputation.

"Bullshit!"

"When did I borrow so much money?"

"You are a lawyer, you must pay attention to evidence when you speak, and you can't just talk about it!"

His face was livid.

He looked at the lawyer's seat.

As if he had been slandered.

"evidence?"

The other party's lawyer sneered, and said lightly: "You should be familiar with the people who came to the auditorium today. These people are all your classmates!"

"Maybe let them testify in court and tell what you did before?"

The voice fell.

Meng Lei's complexion changed drastically, and he was suddenly stunned speechless.

These students will come to the scene...

Totally beyond his expectations.

If he insisted, he might not be able to explain clearly.

"In this case, due to the lack of evidence, our party wants to apply to the court to use the principle of high probability to conduct statutory reasoning."

And then.

The lawyer next to Ma Ming said again: "From Meng Lei's evaluation among classmates and his usual behavior, we can know that his behavior of borrowing money from our client Ma Ming is very likely to exist. "

"And, the money he borrowed has never been repaid..."

above the court.

Seeing the change in the case, the presiding judge frowned slightly.

This 18 yuan lawsuit...

It may seem insignificant, but it represents the dignity of the law.

and.

In terms of loan disputes, there is no limit to the amount.

Not to mention 18 yuan, even if it is a penny lawsuit, they need to be treated with caution.

Avoid procedural and logical problems.

"Since you want to use a high degree of probability, there are obvious gaps in the evidence required by the plaintiff and the defendant."

He took a deep breath and looked at Meng Lei.

Asked: "You claim that the two parties have never had a loan relationship. Is there any evidence to prove your point?"

at the proof stage.

Ma Ming's side has cited a lot of supporting evidence.

Chat records, classmate group chat records, etc., all have corroborating effect.

"evidence?"

Hearing this, Meng Lei was suddenly a little dumbfounded.

This 18 yuan lawsuit...

He didn't pay much attention to it from beginning to end.

Not even a lawyer.

Consulting fees are several hundred.

If it is a consultation, it is better to return the 18 yuan directly to avoid this lawsuit.

"If you make a claim and claim that there is no loan relationship between the two of you, you must provide corresponding evidence to support your claim."

The presiding judge repeated again: "What evidence do you have to prove that there is no loan relationship between you?"

Civil cases are different from criminal cases.

one of them……

It means that both sides of the confrontation need to produce evidence to prove their respective claims.

Whoever gives more sufficient and conclusive evidence is more likely to win the case.

"I... I, I... I came in a hurry, there is no evidence..."

Meng Lei looked at the scrutinizing eyes of everyone in the collegial panel, and could only speak truthfully.

Before the court session, he hadn't thought of this at all.

he is really...

No evidence was prepared.

"No proof? No proof at all?"

The presiding judge showed surprise and asked again.

Meng Lei swallowed.

Bite the bullet and replied: "There is no evidence."

He wasn't even prepared to falsify evidence.

By now.

It is also impossible for him to conjure evidence out of nothing.

Seeing this, the presiding judge took a deep look at Meng Lei.

From the plaintiff and the defendant in court...

He could clearly feel the importance attached by one side and the perfunctory care of the other side.

But when I think that this is an 18 yuan lawsuit...

He was relieved quickly.

Most people really don't take this lawsuit to heart.

Meng Lei didn't even hire a lawyer.

"Since the defendant has no evidence to prove his claim, then, agree to a highly probable trial."

Subsequently.

The presiding judge took a deep breath and handed over the right to speak to Ma Ming.

Lawyer's desk.

The lawyer immediately stood up and looked towards the auditorium.

Asked: "Among the people who came to the scene, who is willing to testify in court to prove the other party's usual behavior of borrowing money?"

The voice just fell.

The entire auditorium was boiling.

"I'm coming, I'm coming, I've been displeased with this grandson for a long time, he owes me 288 and still haven't paid it back!"

"You are only 288. Old Wang heard that he borrowed [-] yuan. He divorced his wife before, and asked him for money, but he didn't give any money!"

"At that time, he came home and said that there was no money on the card to buy the train ticket, and I bought it for him, and he bought a sleeper berth. I said, why is this kid so willing to take the sleeper berth? I dare to pay for it!"

"Every time he borrowed money, he said he would pay it back in two days, and then he used various excuses to avoid us..."

"..."

The people in the auditorium seem to have opened up the chatterbox.

Dissatisfaction accumulated over the years...

All vented out.

before.

Everyone is in the way of classmates, so we don't see each other when we look up.

Sorry to be awkward.

After graduation……

Because I couldn't see each other, I gradually forgot about borrowing money.

But this time...

Inspired by Ma Ming, everyone's contradictions broke out.

The original victim...

Far more than just them!
……

at the same time.

Jincheng.

nursing home.

Listening to the complaints from the audience, Zhang Qingyuan and the others were a little shocked at this time.

"It turns out that these classmates... are all here to collect debts?"

"This Meng Lei, this is no longer shameless, it is completely shameless."

"The madman who borrowed money, actually borrowed all the classmates in the class."

"If you forget to mention the money you borrowed from one person, it's understandable to pay it back, but he borrowed money from so many people, and he still hasn't paid it back!"

"..."

Zhang Qingyuan, Li Weiguo, Song Tiancheng and others whispered to each other.

For Meng Lei's behavior...

Contempt again.

They originally thought that Ma Ming might lose the case due to the lack of evidence.

Unexpectedly, things suddenly turned around.

Meng Lei has no evidence to support his claim, so he will take the initiative...

It was completely handed over to Ma Ming.

"By the way, Xiao Qin, what does high probability mean?"

in the crowd.

Wan Zhongyuan also watched with relish, and couldn't help looking at Qin Mu beside him.

this noun...

He had never heard of it before.

Hearing the words, Zhang Qingyuan and the others also looked at Qin Mu seeking knowledge.

"High probability refers to a principle that can be tried when the evidence is insufficient and there is a large gap between the evidence of the plaintiff and the defendant."

Qin Mu smiled and explained: "It mainly helps the party who lacks direct evidence to use legal procedures and logic to presume the only conclusion as the truth."

Highly probable, not many people know about it.

Not a lawyer...

It's hard to get to it.

"That is to say... can we deduce Meng Lei's personality through other people's evaluations, and then determine that he has borrowed money?"

Wan Zhongyuan blinked and asked again.

Qin Mu nodded, and added: "More than that, besides being a human being, other supporting evidence is also needed, for example, he did borrow money from other people..."

For example.

The incidents mentioned by Ma Ming and other college students who testify need to have corresponding evidence.

It cannot be fabricated.

If the evidence is false, their testimony will not be accepted.

It is also necessary for the other party to be unable to prove his innocence, and cannot present key rebuttal evidence.

"But now it seems that the probability of winning the lawsuit is still very high."

Qin Mu looked up at the live broadcast screen and said with a smile.

Originally, he was worried that the other party also listed a series of "evidence".

If there is more evidence, there is no superior evidence difference between the two sides...

There will be no highly probable license to use.

It will be more troublesome to fight the case.

Blame only...

Meng Lei didn't pay much attention to this at all, and directly gave up the right to speak.

……

Yangcheng.

a district court.

First Civil Court.

Under the auspices of the presiding judge, everyone in the gallery testified one by one.

It tells about a "brilliant incident" of Meng Lei.

Whenever a classic story was told, Meng Lei's expression darkened.

It seems to be the scene of a large whip corpse.

Simultaneously.

There are many students who even found out the records of helping to buy tickets, transfer records, etc. at the beginning.

Except Ma Ming.

Much of the money he borrowed was transferred online.

The beneficiary account, clearly him.

This made him a little speechless, not knowing how to refute.

After a full hour.

The testimonies of the public in the auditorium gradually came to an end.

"Now, let's enter the free debate session. The two sides can freely debate and prove your claims."

in court.

The presiding judge continued to preside over the trial and spoke in a deep voice.

The voice fell.

Ma Ming stood up and said, "During the proof-giving session just now, we cited a lot of evidence and the testimonies of our classmates, including many transfer records, which are enough to prove that Meng Lei is a habitual offender."

"His character is the kind of person who likes to be greedy for petty gains, benefit himself at the expense of others, and is very selfish."

"This point, the classmates who have been with him can prove it."

"The 18 yuan he owes me has not been paid back for a year..."

Ma Ming held the manuscript in his hand and sued in court.

These manuscripts were written for him by lawyers, and it was more impactful to let him speak to testify against the other party.

And in the dock.

Meng Lei, who had just experienced the indiscriminate bombardment by the students in the auditorium, heard Ma Ming's accusation again.

Trembling with anger.

Somewhat annoyed.

This trial...

If I knew it, he shouldn't have come.

Not only did the lawsuit end like this, but he still had to be scolded by a group of people in public.

It's the scene of social death.

"I'm selfish? How dare you call me selfish?"

He stared at Ma Ming, and said angrily: "How many times have I borrowed money from you? You have borrowed me 18 yuan from the beginning to the end!"

"Who is more selfish?"

"The other students borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars. I have never seen such a stingy and selfish person like you in my life!"

"I want to borrow some money from you, it is simply harder than going to heaven!"

"Isn't it just 18 yuan? You don't want to stop until everyone knows about it, right?"

"I was really blind before, and I became friends with a selfish and selfish person like you!"

The more he spoke, the louder his voice became.

Ma Ming's speech was interrupted.

Constantly reverberating in court.

The whole court was startled.

"quiet!"

The presiding judge frowned and reprimanded in a deep voice: "During the free debate period, please don't interrupt others' speeches."

Free debate session.

Although you can speak freely, you cannot interrupt when others are speaking.

Otherwise, it will inevitably turn into a scolding war.

"Presiding judge, I think...the debate session is no longer needed."

Next to Ma Ming.

The acting lawyer also recovered from the surprise, and quickly said: "The other party has admitted the fact of borrowing money, that is, there is a loan relationship, and the case is no longer in dispute."

his face.

Full of joy.

Hearing this, the presiding judge exchanged glances with the rest of the judges.

The gavel was struck.

Shen Sheng announced: "The court is adjourned now, and the trial result will be announced in half an hour."

Say it.

He took all the members of the collegial panel and left the court.

All the people in the courtroom were left looking at each other.

Plaintiffs.

Ma Ming looked at the attorney in a daze, his face full of doubts and incomprehension.

His blood pressure went up immediately after being stunned by Meng Lei's words just now.

Just wanted to refute.

Suddenly tell him that there is no need to debate.

And everyone in the auditorium was also dumbfounded.

"What's the situation? Why did you end the debate suddenly? It's fine if he admits it?"

"He also admitted it in the screenshot of the chat before, why can't that work?"

"Speaking of it, Ma Ming is really awesome. He actually blocked Meng Lei's offensive to borrow money. It took him so long to lend him 18 yuan."

"After half an hour, will the result come out?"

"..."

In recess.

Everyone got together and discussed loudly.

Voices echoed in the courtroom.

Meng Lei was so angry that his face turned blue and red.

……

Jincheng.

In the nursing home.

The reaction of Zhang Qingyuan and others was exactly the same as that of Ma Ming and others.

all eyes...

They were all concentrated on Qin Mu.

Even Wan Zhongyuan is no exception.

"I've watched so many lawsuits, and this is the first time I've encountered a debate that ends early. Is there any problem with Meng Lei's speech just now?"

"He admitted the fact of borrowing money, so it will be useful?"

"If that's the case, why are his previous chat records useless?"

"Xiao Qin, what's going on?"

"..."

Everyone stared at Qin Mu.

I didn't understand this sudden scene.

"It is like this. According to the Civil Procedure Law, once a party admits a fact against itself in court, the other party does not need to prove it. The court accepts the fact."

Qin Mu looked at the crowd and explained with a smile.

and so.

After Meng Lei admitted the fact of borrowing money, Ma Ming no longer needed to work hard.

And the controversy in this case...

It also depends on whether there is a loan relationship.

Now that the loan relationship has been confirmed, there is no need to continue the debate.

therefore.

It is possible to end the debate session early.

This is obviously different from the usual chat records.

"Then...then Meng Lei can't go back on his word?"

Li Weiguo thought for a while and asked again.

"Once you admit the facts that are not good for you, even if you go back later, it will be invalid. The court only recognizes the previous behavior."

Qin Mu went on to say: "Furthermore, if his words and deeds are inconsistent in court, he will lose the credibility of the court, and it will be even more difficult for him to fight the lawsuit."

civil litigation.

It is mainly to put forward claims and evidence in order to win the approval of the collegial panel.

If the collegial panel does not accept Meng Lei's words...

That victory was almost certain.

"What else is there to say? This Meng Lei is also big-hearted, and he didn't even hire a lawyer. Now he has cheated himself again."

"It's only 18 yuan. Wouldn't it be a big loss to find a lawyer?"

"If you don't have a lawyer to file a lawsuit, it's really a pitfall everywhere."

"I can finally get 18 yuan back. Why do I feel like I got 18 back?"

"..."

After listening to the explanation.

Zhang Qingyuan and the others showed a sudden look.

With the introduction of a professional person like Qin Mu, they have fully understood the case.

If you let them see for themselves...

They really can't understand it.

After half an hour.

In the live broadcast of the trial.

The presiding judge returned to the courtroom with everyone in the collegial panel.

All rise.

He began to announce: "After an hour's trial in the first civil court, the case of Ma Ming v. Meng Lei who owed 18 yuan is now pronounced: During the trial, the defendant Meng Lei voluntarily admitted the loan relationship, and the facts of the case are clear. "

"This court believes that there is a loan relationship between the two parties. Meng Lei once borrowed 18 yuan in cash from Ma Ming, which has not been repaid."

"The judgment is as follows: Meng Lei is ordered to pay 18 yuan to the plaintiff Ma Ming within three days from the day when the judgment becomes effective, and to bear 250 yuan of litigation costs."

The solemn voice kept echoing.

Verdict...

It was as Qin Mu expected.

Not even the principle of high probability applies.

And it didn't take long.

The screen of the live broadcast of the trial also went black.

It means the trial is over.

In the nursing home.

Zhang Qingyuan and the others withdrew their gazes, obviously not seeing enough.

Wan Zhongyuan also looked away and moved up the small bench.

Hands behind their backs.

Quietly left the scene.

It was as if he, the deputy dean, had never been here before.

……

Yangcheng.

a district court.

First Civil Court.

after the verdict was announced.

Ma Ming couldn't help showing joy, and his expression was quite excited.

It took so long to...

He finally got his 18 yuan back!
Although the money was not much, the verdict was very satisfying.

And in the auditorium.

The other students were equally excited.

The verdict required Meng Lei to pay 18 yuan within three days, plus 250 yuan for legal fees.

Ma Ming can get back 18 yuan, so their money...

I can take it back too!
"Walking around, it's rare for classmates to meet, let's find a place to celebrate."

"Yes, today is a very happy day. I have never been so happy during Chinese New Year."

"I haven't seen you in so many years, Lao Wang, drink two more bottles later, use the wine to relieve your worries, don't keep thinking about it, your wife and children are things outside your body."

"Ma Ming has to treat us today, he won the lawsuit..."

"..."

Everyone got together.

Started to celebrate.

Pulling each other, they walked out of the courthouse.

Only Meng Lei, who was blue on the dock, and Tian Shulan, who was in the corner of the auditorium, were left.

"Let me just say, don't come to this lawsuit, it's clear that you will lose."

Looking at her husband, Tian Shulan couldn't help complaining.

Meng Lei gritted his teeth tightly.

Looking at the backs of Ma Ming and others leaving, he said coldly: "So what if you lose the lawsuit? They were too happy."

"Think you can get the money if you win the lawsuit?"

"I, Meng Lei, borrowed the money with my ability, why should I pay them back?"

He didn't really care about the verdict.

This lawsuit...

Whether he wins or not, he has no intention of paying back the money.

"This is the judgment of the court!"

Tian Shulan's eyes widened, and she couldn't help reminding: "If you don't pay it back, it will be enforced!"

The court's verdict...

For those old Lai, it will be enforced, whether you want to pay it back or not.

however……

Meng Lei sneered and said, "If I don't have any money, how can the court force me to pay it back?"

Tian Shulan froze for a moment.

For a while, I didn't understand what Meng Lei meant without money.

Not hundreds of thousands is quite normal.

But this verdict...

What is required to be repaid is 18 yuan, plus 250 yuan.

Any office worker can come up with it.

"Go, go to the real estate bureau."

Meng Lei took a deep breath.

Holding the verdict in his hand, he led Tian Shulan out of the court.
