I don't know the East is white

Chapter 42

Prosecutor Dong closed the report in front of him and let out a long sigh. "Xiao Xie, I will not sign and agree to prosecute this case."

Xie Xie immediately became anxious when he heard this, and jumped up from the sofa. "Dong Ke, listen to me!"

"Listen to me first. Oops. Xiao Xie, you've never changed your temper even now that you're pregnant with a child." Old Dong not only inherited Dongfanghuo's position as chief of the public prosecution department, but also inherited the nagging of the head of the public prosecution department. nagging. "It is well known that the cases prosecuted by our procuratorate have a high conviction rate, right? But the reason is not just because the public prosecutor's office is a family. If the conviction rate is 99%, then when we prosecute as prosecutors, we must One hundred percent sure! Do you have it?"

Xie Xie and his colleagues in the department worked hard for three weeks to collect evidence, and even if they were not 90.00% sure, they were [-]% sure, so what Section Chief Dong said now sounded like official language to her ears.

"To be honest, are you afraid of being gossiped?"

Now that the outside world is raging about this matter, the procuratorate's intervention at this time is completely a hot potato.Regardless of winning or losing this lawsuit, there will be endless accusations.It can be described as thankless.It's not that she doesn't understand that Prosecutor Dong stands in a high position and seeks safety and stability.

"Xiao Xie, I don't like to hear what you say. I know you young people are not afraid of being knifed at the front line. But we came here at such a young age. Can prosecutors be afraid of trouble?" Hearing Xie Xie With such a direct accusation, Section Chief Dong raised his face. "You recite it to me now, what are the three principles of public prosecution?"

Xie Xie replied immediately: "All the facts prosecuted by the procuratorate are supported by evidence. All evidence has been verified to be true. All evidence needs to be beyond reasonable doubt."

"Yes! Can the evidence mentioned in your report be beyond reasonable doubt? How credible is the testimony of Xu Xiaobei's father? Even if he can prove that Xu Xiaobei was not violated, can he guarantee that other children have not? Even None, how can you prove that those parents fabricated the facts on the premise that they knew that their children were not harmed. There is still a lack of key evidence for this slander/slander/crime to be established. When I went to court, I was knocked down by the opposing lawyer."

"Under the principle of innocence, the other party needs to prove that Li Changan molested a child. We don't need to prove our innocence..."

Section Chief Dong interrupted her, "Xiao Xie, you say I'm afraid of things, ask yourself if you are acting emotionally? I heard that this Li Chang'an is still lying in the hospital and his life is uncertain. You were entrusted by Dongfangchai to take over this case. There's no emotional element to it?"

"No. I judge by evidence."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about these falsehoods. The evidence in this case is currently insufficient, so I won't approve it. You can go out." Chief Dong crossed his hands on his chest, showing an obvious resistance.The so-called high-ranking officials crush people to death, and sometimes they can only use this trick when facing these self-righteous and disobedient juniors.

After working for so long, the end result was that no prosecution was made, and Xie Xie was frustrated.Dongfangchai, who heard the news, comforted her instead. "The big deal is that I initiate a private prosecution. I am very honored to be able to play in person."

"Why am I so happy to hear your tone?" Xie Xie was speechless.

"Of course I'm happy. Borrowing our efficient team of prosecutors to get so much useful evidence. Your one-month investigation is comparable to our lawyer's half-year run."

"Why do you feel like you've been tricked again? Did you know that the old director would not approve it, so you wanted us to work for you for free?"

"Haha. I'm also trying my luck. If I'm not lucky, I have no choice but to do it myself!"

Dongfangchai didn't lie, it's best to have the golden talisman of the procuratorate.If not, she would be more than happy to do it herself.Old Dongfang had mentioned her eccentricity before, she enjoyed the court.For Dongfangchai, these tedious court trials are not work, but honor.

In the middle of the night, Dongfang looked through the case materials Xie Xie had handed over to her, and realized that what Old Dong said was not completely unreasonable.After the private prosecution was initiated, and now the trial is imminent, where is the missing key link?
In the first court, Dongfangchai took Ding Changle to attend, while Wei Wan stayed in the hospital to take care of Chang'an.

Before the trial, she met Tang Jibai in the corridor.He had just been discharged from the hospital, and his face was still pale even though he was wearing a straight suit. "Are you ready?"

Dongfangchai smiled and stretched out his fingers to make a "1".

He smiled tacitly, this is a small gesture agreed between them.When she was studying, she would answer him the same question before every exam. "1" stands for No.1, one hundred percent, no worries at all, stands for all the best words.

"Seeing how well prepared you are, I'm going to hit you. This time the judge is Wu Yan."

"The 'pervert harvester' that is said to be so harsh and perverted?" Wu Yan is well-known in the industry for his particularly severe sentences for cases of sexual assault and molestation.Each presiding judge has his own personality and preferences, and it is permissible to adjust the sentence as long as it is within the scope of the law.So even if it was the same crime, the criminal had better pray that it would not fall into Wu Yan's hands.

"Not only that, but her husband is Lei Ming, the captain of the Public Security Brigade. He is also the policeman who arrested Chang'an. He has a prejudice against Chang'an. I heard that he was very angry because he failed to sue Chang'an."

"You mean that Wu Yan has a preconceived bad impression of Chang'an?"

It's not a good thing to leave a bad impression on the presiding judge, especially if he stepped on a big minefield.Dongfang Chao frowned in thought.

Seeing her uneasy expression, Tang Jibai swallowed another piece of news abruptly.For a while, accepting too much "advice" is not conducive to the mentality of going to court. "Don't think too much, go at your own pace."

Dongfang Ling hummed, and was preoccupied before going to the court to prepare.I didn't see the later Ma Tianjing and Wu Yan greeting each other affectionately at the elevator entrance.

"Officer Wu."

"What a coincidence. Lawyer Ma. Are you here to check on your son's court performance?"

"No. Today, another lawsuit happened to be in court here, so the time has just happened." Ma Tianjing smiled and pointed to another court.

"That's good. I wish everything goes well." Perhaps because of the occasion, Wu Yan didn't say much.

"Officer Wu, you too."

Not far away, Tang Jibai had a panoramic view of everything.He had known for a long time that the two had a strong friendship. Wu Yan would occasionally appear at Ma Tianjing's private dinner before, and always interacted enthusiastically with the Ma family father and son, as if they had been close friends for many years.In this way, it is difficult to say whether her impartiality as a judge has been tampered with.This is also what he just concealed from Dongfangchai.

Tang Jibai stared down at his hand, silently stretched out a finger.Hopefully this time it won't be a complete failure.

In court, Dongfangchai first presented several long online drafts against Li Changan, as well as testimonies from reporters collected by Xie Xie.Then he submitted the scene of Li Changan being beaten, which was photographed in the hospital before, and the injury report.

Those horrific scars and brutal scenes were shocking, and Dongfangchai was about to make a sensational one about it, arousing the empathy of the presiding judge and the audience.But it was interrupted by Wu Yan at the beginning. "Is there any evidence that the two incidents are directly linked?"

With an impatient expression, she flipped through Li Changan's injury report like a routine.There was no trace of sympathy for him in his eyes.Sure enough, this woman with a strong personality had already developed a prejudice against Li Changan.

"Yes." Dongfang Bai took out a photo, a status on social media that has been deleted but was screenshotted at the time. "Xu, a nurse at the Central Hospital, located the victim Li Changan on the day of the incident. Later, in the hot comments, someone gathered three local homeless people to go to the hospital to beat my client. According to the ID in this state, the police successfully arrested four People. In their statements, they all mentioned that the purpose of beating people was because they read news on the Internet, that is, evidence 2, 3, and 4.”

Ma Zean replied calmly, "The reports circulating on the Internet are not from any of the six defendants. Even if Li Changan was beaten because of this, they should not be held accountable."

"Presiding judge, I invite the witness Liu Pei to testify in court, that is, the news writer whose Weibo account is 'Little Reporter with Conscience'."

"approve."

"Witness Liu Pei, may I ask if you wrote these three in-depth reports on the Li Changan incident?"

"Yes."

"What kind of opportunity did you decide to write this article?"

"I was very interested in seeing the video Papa Wang asked netizens for help on the Internet. I took the initiative to find the door to interview. All reports are based on facts, and there is no rumor..."

Dongfang Bai didn't want to argue with him about the fact or not at this moment, but turned the conversation to the other side. "Excuse me, are you a reporter from the Su newspaper? You said you were a reporter from the Su newspaper during the prosecution's investigation, but the Su newspaper denied your existence. Who is lying?"

"I... used to be. I was the deputy editor-in-chief of Su Daily in the [-]s." Liu Pei was a little flustered. "I'm not lying. The Su Daily is a big newspaper. It's just more face-saving to say it."

"Then on the identity issue, did you also lie to the six defendants during the interview?"

"No, no. I came to the door as a free media person. I made it very clear to them at the time."

"Okay. Let me tell you why you left Su Bao in the first place. If you were the deputy editor in nine years or so, you have a bright future."

"I... was fired." After all, it was a disgraceful thing, Liu Pei wiped his nose and said in a low voice.

"What was the reason for the expulsion?"

"Objection. Presiding judge, this issue has nothing to do with this case." Ma Ze'an objected.

"Will the defender explain what is the connection?"

"Liu Pei was expelled from the Su newspaper in 1999. Due to the age, the current employees don't know that this person existed in the newspaper. The reason for his expulsion was a serious news accident. Because of his wrong reports, leading to The client committed suicide, and the family members complained to the newspaper, and the newspaper had no choice but to fire Liu Pei, who was about to be promoted to editor-in-chief at the time. How credible is the story reported by such a person with questionable moral integrity?"

"Even so, the conduct of the witnesses has nothing to do with the defendants." Ma Ze'an didn't understand the meaning of the Oriental dialect.

"Oh. With such a big news, the six defendants rejected all interview invitations from major media. Finally, they accepted an interview from a self-media person with questionable ethics? Wasn't it because they knew that the other party dared to write anything for the sake of gaining fame, so the last Is it okay to borrow a knife to kill?"

"Objection! This is groundless suspicion of my client. They just lacked precautions and did not conduct background checks on the interviewers, which does not mean that they did so deliberately."

"The plaintiff's lawyer, please be careful with your words." Wu Yan warned Dongfang Chau.

"If you talk about groundless speculation, isn't the plaintiff, Li Chang'an, the biggest victim? The public security judged that the evidence was insufficient and refused to file a case, so why should the media speculate and incite public opinion!"

"Journalists are after the truth, even if there is a 1% possibility, they will go to the bottom of it. And the defendant, as a parent, wants to find the truth, which is understandable!"

Both sides come and go, not giving in to each other.Although Ma Ze'an's momentum was slightly weaker and he was at a disadvantage, everyone present could see that Wu Yan was helping Ma Ze'an.Dongfangchai wanted to take advantage of the victory and ask Xu Xiaobei's father to testify.But suddenly a bailiff entered the courtroom and whispered something to Ding Changle in the auditorium. Ding Changle's expression changed, and he looked anxiously at Dongfangchai.

The bailiff went to the court again and conveyed the same message to the presiding judge Wu Yan.Wu Yan glanced at Ding Changle who was about to cry, hesitated and announced: "Because of the plaintiff's health, I decided to adjourn the court temporarily. After negotiation between the two parties, I will choose a date for the court hearing."

As soon as the adjournment was announced, Ding Changle almost jumped up from the auditorium and grabbed Dongfang Bai's sleeve. "Chang'an...Chang'an suddenly fell into a coma, and the hospital issued a critical illness notice!"
