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

Chapter 275 Someone Was Sentenced to Robbery for 80 Years
This is out of complete trust in Qin Mu.

Qin Mu...

Never say anything big.

Every shot, no fish slipped through the net.

"I'll buy the air ticket myself. Give me a location, and I'll come right away."

Qin Mu thought for a while before replying.

Things are urgent.

With only five days left, he couldn't waste any more time.

this case...

The main difficulty is that he is not familiar with foreign laws.

At present, I only know the course of the incident, and I am still at a loss as to how to sue and defend.

To know.

The legal system in Europe is completely different from that in this country.

The country's legal system...

To a certain extent, it has inherited the most complete German system and part of the American system.

It is one of the most comprehensive laws in the world today.

therefore.

Many wonderful laws involving religion and local customs do not exist in this country.

After hanging up Zhang Qingyuan's phone call.

He went directly to Wan Zhongyuan's office and explained the case that Lao Zhang encountered in detail.

Said his idea of ​​​​asking for leave.

"You... go abroad to file a lawsuit?"

After hearing this, Wan Zhongyuan was stunned on the spot.

His face was full of disbelief.

He knew how awesome Qin Mu was.

But did not expect ...

Qin Mu even wanted to interfere with foreign laws.

"There's nothing you can do if you don't go. Old Zhang was tricked by the tour guide. This case may not be easy to fight."

Qin Mu gave a wry smile.

Quite helpless.

He was familiar with Zhang Qingyuan, and the other party was most likely involved in the black tour guide incident because of his own luck.

really want to say...

And his reasons.

and.

In those European countries, the spirit of the contract is the most important, and the signed contract is very sacred.

Now that Lao Zhang has signed...

It means that he is willing to donate money, and he cannot change his order overnight and go back on his word.

If you lose the case...

He may be compelled to repay the contribution.

"Then... do you understand the laws over there?"

After hearing this, Wan Zhongyuan couldn't help asking again.

he was worried about...

It was because Qin Mu had only a half-knowledge, not a deep understanding of the law there.

In this case……

It's better to let Zhang Qingyuan directly hire a lawyer abroad to help with the lawsuit.

Also.

Judicial systems abroad...

completely different from domestic ones.

The domestic system is the final trial of the second instance, and there seems to be a jury in foreign countries.

Judges have great powers.

It is said that one can rely on one's own selfish desires and ignore the law to decide whether the law is enforced.

"This... I only understand part of it, and I plan to try to learn more on the plane."

Qin Mu touched his nose in embarrassment, and said truthfully.

this matter……

He didn't hide much, if he didn't know, he didn't know.

However, with the [Photographic Memory] skill, he wasn't too worried about it.

this skill.

It is the most practical skill rewarded by the system so far.

Ten lines at a glance.

Any literature content he has read can be turned into the knowledge he has mastered and integrated.

Furthermore.

Foreign legal provisions are far less complicated and detailed than those in China, but legal ideas are common.

All in all.

For him, the difficulty is not great.

"Okay, I still have a question, your lawyer certificate... can you take on foreign cases?!"

Wan Zhongyuan looked at Qin Mu with a complicated expression, and asked another question.

This question is crucial.

otherwise……

Qin Mu fled abroad in a hurry, but he didn't even have the chance to file a lawsuit.

"I have learned about this. A foreign lawyer can represent a lawsuit through authorization and notarization, plus a local lawyer, to participate in court proceedings."

Qin Mu nodded and said seriously.

He wants to represent Lao Zhang in this case...

The best way is to notarize and authorize through the embassy or other legal institutions.

Get this process down.

He will be able to successfully defend Zhang Qingyuan in court.

It's not too difficult.

At last.

The conversation is over.

Wan Zhongyuan approved Qin Mu's vacation, ten days for one batch.

Qin Mu was given plenty of time.

And after the holiday was approved.

Qin Mu immediately booked a flight ticket for that night.

Li Weiguo and others heard the news and rushed to the door to see him off.

"Xiao Qin, can we watch the live broadcast of foreign cases? You have gone abroad, so we can't watch it either."

"I heard that there is a live broadcast, but you want to go over the wall? I'm a lot of age, so I don't think there is a way to go over the wall."

"How could it be possible to climb over the wall with bare hands? I heard from my son that we need to use ladders. There are only two ladders in the utility room in our yard, and they are not enough."

"Old Zhang, it's not good to go somewhere for a stroll. If you have to go abroad, what's so good about going abroad?"

"..."

While seeing off.

Everyone looked at Qin Mu eagerly, hoping that Qin Mu could broadcast it live abroad on the hour.

They are concerned about this foreign case...

very interested.

This is also the first foreign lawsuit they have encountered!
But Qin Mu's face darkened when he heard everyone's decent and serious discussion.

Quite speechless.

God damn wall and ladder.

It's just a device connected to the external network, and it's like physical labor by them.

"I will leave a link for Xiaolin, and if it is possible to broadcast live, let him cast the screen for you."

Before leaving.

Qin Mu found Xiao Lin, an employee in the courtyard, and explained about the screen projection.

Trial abroad...

Usually live streaming is also allowed.

only……

They pay more attention to the right to personal privacy. Even if it has a public welfare nature, it needs to follow the permission of the person concerned before live broadcasting.

And in this case, if the other party disagrees.

Foreign courts are also unable to broadcast live.

"Is that so?"

Li Weiguo suddenly realized, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Lao Zhang will definitely allow the live broadcast.

It depends on whether the other party is willing to live broadcast.

In his opinion.

The other party is so shameless that they cheated others' signatures, so they probably won't authorize and agree to the live broadcast.

Not surprisingly.

They cannot see the live broadcast of the lawsuit.

……

That night.

Qin Mu packed his luggage and boarded the plane to go abroad.

en route.

Logged in to the special current legal literature website, and spent money to buy a large number of foreign legal e-books.

on the airplane.

Staring at the phone, ten lines at a glance.

Crazy absorption of this knowledge.

These include the country's local trial system, lawyer system, civil procedure system, criminal procedure system and so on.

Also.

There is also the relevant area of ​​the Law of Contracts concerning the contribution agreement involved in this case.

There is [photographic memory] skill.

He studied very fast, and soon had a complete understanding of foreign laws.

By comparison.

These laws pay more attention to the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of individuals, while domestic ones pay more attention to the interests of the collective.

This is also why...

The country is more stable, while foreign countries are always gun battles every day.

abroad.

Grassroots police is an extremely dangerous profession, and a large number of people die in the line of duty every day.

So……

Foreign countries often report that in order to prevent someone from committing suicide, the police shot him to death.

Because in the hands of those who commit suicide, there are deadly weapons.

Under the shadow of a snake for a long time, no one dares to take risks and can only strike first.

And in the judicial system.

In foreign countries, a three-level, second-instance and final-trial system is usually implemented.

A civil lawsuit is caused by a party's breach of contract or illegal act or civil tort, and the standard of judgment is more based on existing precedents.

which is……

There have been such similar cases in the past, and a penalty has been made, so the new case should also be sentenced according to the penalty.

The purpose of doing so is mainly to ensure the specificity and impartiality of the law.

To prevent different penalties, resulting in unfairness.

only……

This ignores the differences in each case.

There are no two identical cases in the world, and the parties may have other reasons...

In civil proceedings, there is also a pre-trial conference.

That is to say, the judge and the court organize the lawyers of both parties to participate, and the parties do not participate in this link, and the three parties negotiate to determine how the case will be tried.

Some cases...

Because it is too simple, there are no doubts, and it is usually enough to make a judgment after three-party communication.

There is no need for a formal trial or jury.

This is similar to pre-trial mediation in China. If the three parties reach an agreement, it will be deemed that the plaintiff has withdrawn the lawsuit, and there is no need to continue the trial.

And before the trial.

Judges and courts do not make any preparations, do not know the facts of the case in advance, and do not conduct investigations in advance.

In other words.

During the trial, more attention is paid to the performance of the lawyers of both parties in court.

If you can rely on evidence, materials and eloquence to convince the court, you will be basically stable.

And in the defense of the trial...

Both parties may ask the other party written questions to be answered under oath.

A sworn answer is legally binding.

Not allowed to overthrow.

And the court hearing...

It is not much different from domestic ones, mainly including defense, presentation of evidence, debate, judgment and other links.

It is worth mentioning that……

It is not the collegial panel that makes the judgment abroad, but the jury!
In each case, a jury is randomly selected to sit in the jury box and listen to the entire case.

These juries...

Legal citizens from all walks of life have extremely low thresholds.

Possibly a great entrepreneur.

Possibly the cleaners.

It could also be a beggar.

The final judgment of the court will be made by the jury.

And the result must be collectively unanimous before it can take effect.

If a juror believes that the case cannot be judged in this way, the case will be postponed for retrial, or a new jury will be selected for trial.

in judgment.

Do not follow the principle of majority obedience to the minority.

This also caused a phenomenon.

That is, many foreign cases are often delayed and unresolved.

"This case...is not easy."

on the plane.

Qin Mu rubbed his forehead after learning about the situation.

It just feels a little tricky.

There are two difficulties in winning the case.

First, in the local area, there have been precedents in which similar donation signatures have been prosecuted, and all judgments have sentenced the parties to repay the promised donations.

This is probably the reason why the gang of black tour guides chose to defraud donations in this place.

In the context of existing precedents...

Many courts will choose to swallow the jujube wholeheartedly and judge according to the penalties of previous civil cases.

Second, as foreigners, it was extremely difficult for him and Lao Zhang to gain the inclination and trust of the jury.

The jury is made up of citizens without any background.

These citizens are drawn at random.

But without exception.

All locals.

Their duty is to listen to the case and make a judgment on the facts of the case.

Whether the law applies is the responsibility of the judge.

These juries...

To him and Lao Zhang, they must be very strange and have no empathy.

It is very difficult to get their approval and make them make unanimous decisions.

No wonder the system will judge and say that after completing the task, you will get a rare reward.

Just the difficulty...

It surpassed all previous cases, and it was still a foreign case!
"Where is the breakthrough..."

Qin Mu frowned and began to think carefully.

This time.

He chose the third option, and if he failed, there would be no reward.

same.

After losing the lawsuit...

Lao Zhang will be forced to donate 2 yuan. If he does not donate, he may be detained!
And this black tour group...

It will also be more arrogant and unscrupulous.

There are countless old people who continue to suffer from their persecution!
……

at the same time.

a country.

City of Arms.

In a cheap hotel near a courthouse.

"Zhang Qingyuan, let me tell you one last time. The court has accepted this case, and a pre-trial conference will be held soon. You don't know any lawyers here, and you don't speak the language. Instead of spending so much money, you might as well just take 4 Ten thousand yuan was given."

A middle-aged man with an Asian face held a subpoena and complaint, and looked at Zhang Qingyuan and Feng Cuihua coldly.

Once again, "persuade" patiently.

Beside the few people, many old people who were traveling together gathered.

the difference is……

These old people chose to swallow their anger and gave the 2 yuan.

Only Zhang Qingyuan and Feng Cuihua remained without paying.

"Zhang, do you know how expensive it is to hire a lawyer here? You are not a local, and you have to go to a big law firm to be equipped with an interpreter. A lawyer's fee exceeds 4 yuan."

behind the middle-aged man.

Seeing that Zhang Qingyuan was still refusing to compromise, a younger brother continued to threaten: "Let me tell you, if you lose the lawsuit, not only will you have to pay 4 yuan, but you may also have to bear more fines and detention!"

Next to Zhang Qingyuan.

After hearing this, the rest of the old people were so frightened that their faces became ugly.

They all looked at Zhang Qingyuan.

Whispered to persuade: "How about Lao Zhang, I will help you give this money, this is a foreign country, or their territory, our thin arms can't twist our thighs."

"Yeah, we were tricked into signing, so it's probably useless even if we call the police."

"Old Zhang, fighting against them will not end well, and a good man will not suffer from immediate losses."

"Well, this tour group dares to be so arrogant because we are abroad and unfamiliar with the place."

"..."

These old people leaned into Zhang Qingyuan's ears and tried to persuade him kindly.

Traveled for so long.

They were all familiar with each other, and had some understanding of Zhang Qingyuan.

I couldn't bear to see Lao Zhang being detained because of his "stubbornness".

however……

Faced with the persuasion of his peers, Zhang Qingyuan remained unmoved.

Euphemistically refused: "I appreciate everyone's kindness, but I can donate the money myself. If I don't want to, no one can make me donate!"

Everyone sees it.

looked at each other.

Still want to persuade.

But I heard Zhang Qingyuan say again: "Actually, I used to be the same as you. I felt that one thing more is worse than one thing less. If you suffer a little, you will suffer a little."

"But since I got to know Xiao Qin, I realized that suffering is not the best way to solve things."

"You suffered a loss today, and it won't bring you any good results. The other party will only become more arrogant and worse, while we are complaining about ourselves. The more we think about it, the more we get angry, and we suffer in vain."

"Stop persuading me, I won't compromise!"

He gritted his teeth and looked directly at the two people in the tour group in front of him.

Eyes firm.

Not flinching at all.

If he had known Qin Mu before, he might have been like everyone else.

Make the same decision.

But after getting to know Qin Mu, he learned a lot.

Maybe he can't be as "real" as Qin Mu, but on this matter, he will never back down!
"Old Zhang, have you thought it through?"

And his words once again made the expressions of the two middle-aged men in the tour group darken.

The eyes are getting worse.

Zhang Qingyuan held his head high, and said with a sneer, "I've already found a lawyer, so don't bother you, you can't win this lawsuit!"

His face is full of confidence.

Especially after making a phone call to Qin Mu.

He seemed to have taken a reassurance.

Qin Mu was already on his way out.

As long as he takes over the case...

Not to mention winning the lawsuit, the people in this group of tour groups may be too hungry to walk around!
"Good, good, good!"

The middle-aged man stared at Zhang Qingyuan, and said three good words in succession.

He said coldly: "I'd like to see what kind of lawyer you can hire in a foreign country! You can't see the coffin without crying!"

Done.

He didn't talk to Zhang Qingyuan any more, but turned around and left with his younger brother.

at this point.

Zhang Qingyuan's attitude was already evident, and he did not compromise at all.

And they...

It's just for money, not kidnapping or robbery.

abroad.

The sentences for both types of offenses are very severe.

If they were caught by Zhang Qingyuan, they might steal a lot of money.

To know.

They are located in the area according to the case law.

The crimes of robbery and kidnapping are mostly judged according to established cases in the past.

once.

There have been many robberies, and the longest sentence has reached 80 years.

He was imprisoned at the age of 15 and released at the age of 95.

and.

This person merely robbed and did not do any other illegal harm.

so……

They would rather use this method to earn tens of thousands of dollars more than take the risky method of kidnapping or robbery.

And after the two people in the tour group left.

The rest of the old people gathered around one after another, looking at Zhang Qingyuan worriedly.

Even Feng Cuihua...

He was also uneasy and seemed extremely flustered.

"Old Zhang, we... really can't do it, so we can just give the money, we don't travel anymore, let's buy a ticket and go back to China."

Feng Cuihua tugged at Zhang Qingyuan's sleeve, and couldn't help but said: "I don't think there is much fun going abroad, and the moon is not as good as ours in Jincheng. I can't understand a word of those birdsong..."

The rest went through this.

The idea of ​​continuing to travel has also been extinguished.

Although the group they booked this time, 1000 yuan includes travel to a dozen countries.

They have only traveled to four countries so far.

but……

Tens of thousands of dollars have been scammed.

Go on traveling.

They are worried that their coffins will be buried.

It's better to admit that you are unlucky.

Hurry back home.

however……

Zhang Qingyuan looked at them and said with a grin: "Everyone, don't worry."

"I have already invited a barrister to come here. The defense level is very good, and I have never lost. This case... I will definitely win!"

Speaking of it.

He made a fool of himself by not revealing Qin Mu's identity.

Instead, he went on to say: "You may have a chance to get back the money you have been scammed during this time."

Everyone hears here.

I was even more surprised.

A little bit unbelievable.

Everyone felt that Zhang Qingyuan was talking big.

The people in the tour group have said that they are fighting foreign lawsuits and using foreign laws.

They even signed it.

Approve this contribution agreement on their behalf.

Can't go back on it.

Even if there is a lawsuit...

From this point of view, it is very difficult for them to refute, and it is extremely difficult to win the lawsuit.

"Wait a little longer, everyone, he should be on his way."

Zhang Qingyuan looked at the crowd and comforted them patiently.

For Qin Mu...

He had an inexplicable confidence.

Past experience told him that where Qin Mu passed, not a single blade of grass grew.

As long as Qin Mu appears, these people will never end well!

……

And the other side.

Another room in the hotel.

"Brother Xu, this old Zhang is like a stone in a latrine, hard and soft."

Zhao Wan looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.

The two returned to the room.

He respectfully lit a cigarette for him.

I couldn't help complaining: "We talked to him, but he just didn't agree to give the money, and said he had already hired a lawyer. This is to fight us to the end."

in front of him.

The middle-aged man squinted his eyes halfway and did not speak.

Noncommittal.

There are many ways to deal with Zhang Qingyuan, but the others are criminal methods.

He has been in this business for so long, and he knows that if he wants to last long, he must keep himself clean.

Really want to embark on the road of crime...

Then he is not far from being sentenced to decades.

It's different here.

Once arrested and charged with crimes, the applicable criminal law will be combined punishment for several crimes!
And there is no so-called punishment from a felony.

Every crime he commits may increase his sentence.

Also.

In terms of sentencing, in addition to the death penalty, there are also life imprisonment and rising sentences.

so that...

There was once a classic case where someone was sentenced to 300 years in prison!

Regardless of whether this person can live to 300 years, he must be sentenced to 300 years.

And this sentence is different from life imprisonment!
therefore.

He can't force Zhang Qingyuan and others.

"Let's see who the lawyer this old Zhang hired is. Our lawyer...has a winning rate of 90.00% in Ames City. He has represented us in all previous cases and has never lost."

After half an hour.

The middle-aged man, that is, Xu Liming took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

He has been in this line of work for several years.

In addition to Zhang Qingyuan, there are a few tough bones.

They refused to give money, and the stalemate reached the point of a lawsuit.

to this end.

Also went to court.

In the end, the court ruled in their favor, requiring these people to pay donations and make compensation.

In the case of all kinds of evidence, it has been tried and tested.

Never fails.

The jury sided with them every time, and the court followed previous precedent.

he doesn't believe...

This time the opposite lawyer can make the court make a different judgment!
