Chapter 1058 The Truth Comes Out
In the car, Liu Xiaotian looked at the reporters around him, and gave Pu Haitai a heavy nod.

He had promised Pu Haitai before that he would do his best to fight this lawsuit, and he also told Pu Haitai that there might be other variables in this lawsuit, but he didn't say the specific reason.

A lawyer is not a policeman, but some evidence needs to be kept secret. He only told this to one person, that is, the general manager of Sino-Ocean Department Store and also the vice chairman of Sino-Ocean Department Store, Ji Zhengguang. In fact, Sino-Ocean Department Store is the family business of Ji's family.

"May I ask Mr. Zhuang, Sino-Ocean Department Store has always claimed that there are no fakes in the store, and there is such a word of mouth to grab the market, what does Mr. Zhuang think of this crackdown on counterfeiting?"

"Mr. Zhuang, it is said that Sino-Ocean Department Store has admitted to selling counterfeit goods and is willing to pay compensation. It was because it was dissatisfied with the amount proposed by the other party that it finally went to court. Is that true?"

"Boss Zhuang..."

The reporters outside had already surrounded the vice president who came together. He only came here on behalf of the general manager and didn't know much about the specific situation. Now he is also bearing these unwarranted disasters for the general manager and is surrounded by reporters.

The questions of these reporters were straight to the point, and what all the reporters meant was that Sino-Ocean Department Store was selling fake products. No matter how you heard it, it felt like a slap in the face.

"excuse me!"

Zhang Yang hurried over, protected him with Mr. Zhuang's secretary, and brought him into the court. His face was very ugly. It's strange that he can still smile after chasing a group of people with such tricky questions.

"Mr. Pu, trust me!"

Liu Xiaotian smiled slightly at Pu Haitai, and followed into the court. The reporters quickly surrounded him again. Liu Xiaotian is the defense lawyer this time, and even though Liu Xiaotian is young, he has a small reputation, at least in the legal circle. A good junior elite, a senior who has won many lawsuits.

This time his opponent is an individual, not a lawyer, but this time Sino-Ocean Department Store is obviously at a disadvantage. It is not known how much he can recover the loss, or how many times the compensation will be paid in the end.

Before the trial of this lawsuit, all the reporters, including many members of Sino-Ocean Department Store, believed that they were doomed to lose this time.

Gao Shi walked out of a taxi, with his head held high and his chest high, with a confident look. He didn't have a lawyer to accompany him, only a companion, and this companion was just to accompany him, but the materials he prepared were not Few, many things are in his briefcase, he has absolute confidence to win this lawsuit.

Not only must he win, but he must also ask the other party to pay compensation with the highest multiple. Although he has not hired a lawyer, he has also consulted, and someone has given him advice. With so much evidence, it is difficult not to win.

The two sides quickly entered the courtroom. Because of the previous media hype, this trial was open to the public, but only [-] media outlets were allowed to enter, so as not to affect the order of the courtroom.

Even though there were only twenty houses, there were quite a few people who came in this time, and more than half of the auditoriums were filled.

The two sides quickly took their positions, Zhang Yang also nodded to Liu Xiaotian, the smile on Liu Xiaotian's face became brighter, while Zhang Yang was already full of admiration and complete reverence.

He never expected that the facts of this case would be like this, and Lawyer Liu explained everything clearly and restored the truth of the facts.

The trial started immediately, and Gao Shi came aggressively, directly showing the fake authentication certificate, video images of the fakes, and all documents related to Ocean Department Store, including the videos he bought. Undeniable, Mr. Zhuang who was sitting in the dock lowered his head unnaturally.

Gao Shi finally explained that because the other party sold health care products that he took, such fake products made people more angry and caused more harm. Therefore, he asked the court to punish the defendant according to the highest standard and order the defendant Ocean Department Store to compensate him ten times the purchase price. , That is, 800 million. Gao Shi also brought up some cases. In many places, as long as it is a fake product related to food, it will be punished according to the highest ratio of ten times.

"Do the defendant and the defendant's defender have anything to say?" The judge looked at Liu Xiaotian and the others, and asked routinely.

"Yes, Mr. Judge, I would like to ask the plaintiff Mr. Gao a question, please allow the court!" Liu Xiaotian stood up, the judge glanced at Gao Shi, and nodded directly: "Agreed!"

It is very normal for the defendant's defender to ask the plaintiff. The court is a place where evidence is emphasized and people are allowed to defend. They don't accept what others say. As a defense lawyer, Liu Xiaotian wants to ask some questions to the plaintiff. There is no problem at all.

It just needs to be a process. After all, the plaintiff doesn't have a lawyer. If he had a lawyer, he doesn't need to ask for instructions, he can ask directly.

Liu Xiaotian looked at Gao Shi on the opposite side, and said softly: "Mr. Gao, when we first met, I asked you a question, I wonder if you still remember?"

"You asked a lot, how can I remember which question you asked?" Gao Shi frowned and said something dissatisfied.

"Okay, let me ask again. What I asked that time was, Mr. Gao, do you know anyone in Ocean Department Store? Today I want to ask again, Mr. Gao, do you know anyone in Ocean Department Store? "

Gao Shi couldn't help feeling a little flustered in his heart, he didn't expect Liu Xiaotian to ask this question again, and it was just in court, his face also changed color, and he shook his head ugly: "I can't remember why Answered, but this has nothing to do with today's case, I refuse to answer!"

Gao Shi still knew some laws, but Liu Xiaotian smiled slightly, turned to the judge and said: "Mr. Judge, my question is very important, so I beg the plaintiff to answer this question!"

The judge looked at Gao Shi again, and said directly: "The plaintiff, please answer the defendant's defender's question!"

The judge spoke, and Gao Shi had to answer it. This question seemed simple, but it was indeed very sensitive. The judge also understood this, so he agreed to Liu Xiaotian's request and asked Gao Shi to answer it.

"no!"

Gao Shi said something impatiently, Liu Xiaotian immediately took his words, and asked again: "Mr. Gao, can you confirm your answer? That is to say, Mr. Gao did not know any employee of Ocean Department Store before, let alone There is no other relationship, right?"

"Yes, I can be sure that I didn't know anyone in Sino-Ocean Department Store before, let alone any other relationship!"

Gao Shi nodded again, and Liu Xiaotian slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and shook his head lightly: "I'm surprised, Mr. Gao is very familiar with Mr. Xu Wenwu, Deputy Director of the Supervision Department of Ocean Department Store, and they have eaten together many times. Why? Are you going to deny that?"

After Liu Xiaotian finished speaking, he looked at the judge again, bent his head slightly, and said softly: "Mr. Judge, I have a surveillance video here, which can prove that Mr. Gao Shi purchased the goods on the third day, the sixth day and after the purchase. The next day I met with Deputy Director Xu of the Supervision Department of Sino-Ocean Department Store, and we ate and drank coffee together!"

Zhang Yang immediately took out a piece of evidence to submit to the court, which was a synthesis of part of the surveillance video. On the sixth day, Gao Shi was waiting for Xu Wenwu in a corner of the headquarters of the Ocean Department Store. The two got into Xu Wenwu's car together. Then the video went to a mid-range restaurant, where the two ordered two set meals and left about an hour later.

The second meeting record was in a cafe, the third day before Gao Shi purchased the goods. The two entered into a chat after meeting in the cafe, and left in less than half an hour.

The last one was on the third day after Gao Shi bought those guys. This time Gao Shi seemed sneaky and waited for Deputy Director Xu in a small restaurant not far from Ocean Department Store. He was very upset, so he reprimanded him, and the two talked in the car for a while, and they left by themselves in a short time, or took a taxi to leave.

The three-point video completely confirmed that Gao Shi knew Xu Wenwu and their relationship was not shallow.

Everyone, including judges, jurors, and many reporters in the auditorium, all looked at Gao Shi. Gao Shi's previous denial and the current video formed a strong contrast. Everyone knew that Gao Shi had lied. Since he lied It must be trying to hide something, and with this incident, everyone has a premonition that this case will not be that simple, and there may be new waves.

Gao Shi was a little panicked, his forehead was still sweating, he didn't understand and he didn't know where Liu Xiaotian got these evidences, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

"I thought you were talking about the sales people in department stores. I don't know anyone there. Director Xu is an old friend of mine!"

Gao Shi hastily made a distinction, but this time his distinction seemed feeble. He did not explain the relationship with words like this, but made everyone more suspicious of him.

"Mr. Gao, you don't have to be nervous. The current evidence is in your favor. Even if you don't want to admit your relationship with Deputy Director Xu, I can't help you!"

Liu Xiaotian smiled and said something, Gao Shi was slightly taken aback, Liu Xiaotian was right, the court is a place that pays attention to evidence, the other party has no evidence to prove that the goods were not sold by them, and he has ironclad evidence, no matter how you say this He will be the ultimate winner of the lawsuit, so why should he be nervous.

It's just that he was reminded by Liu Xiaotian, he always felt weird, others also looked at Liu Xiaotian with some astonishment, not knowing whether he was the defendant's defender or the plaintiff's agent, how could he help the plaintiff and deliberately remind him.

Some smart people have already seen how powerful Liu Xiaotian is. A simple question made Gao Shi immediately at a loss, and even had to be reminded by him to calm down. Although Liu Xiaotian reminded his enemy, he had already left a place in the opponent's heart. India, let the other party be afraid of themselves, fear.

Only in this way can he defend himself better. Leaving aside the final result of this case, it is unlikely that he will be awarded full compensation in the end, and even one trial may not be enough.

This is the power of well-known lawyers. A small detail, something that everyone doesn't care about, can become a powerful weapon in their hands, and even turn things around.

"Mr. Gao, I'm not going to ask you what you talked about with Deputy Director Xu before, and why you went to see him in a sneaky way. What I want to know is that your account was on the third day before you purchased this batch of goods. That is, after meeting with Deputy Director Xu, why did you suddenly have an extra 300 million, and this 300 million is exactly the same as the purchase of this batch of health care products, and there was no such amount of money in your account before!"

Liu Xiaotian asked again, Zhang Yang presented evidence, Gao Shi swiped his credit card, it was not difficult to get his account information.

"Great!"

Some knowledgeable people admired quietly, Liu Xiaotian kept saying that he would not ask about the relationship between Gao Shi and Deputy Director Xu, but he brought Deputy Director Xu every sentence, making people naturally connect all these together, making everyone doubt this It's just a conspiracy.

They all knew that it was just video evidence and could not prove anything. Moreover, when asked about their chat content, Gao Shi could refuse to answer or just evade it. This is a court, not a police station, so it is impossible to ask so clearly.

Liu Xiaotian simply let this go, and said it on purpose to lead everyone into other thoughts. This young lawyer really deserves his reputation, he is worthy of being an upstart who has defeated many barristers.

The entire court has been dominated by Liu Xiaotian, even Pu Haitai and Mr. Zhuang didn't expect such a result. Now it's not their compensation, but the plaintiff Gao Shi's responsibility. No matter how he looks at it, he seems to have something Premeditated, and premeditated with the company's people.

"me……"

Gao Shi was a little panicked and didn't know how to answer. His cell phone suddenly lit up. He picked it up to look at it, and immediately replied: "These are my privacy, I can refuse to answer, no matter how my money comes from." Yes, no matter what relationship I have with Deputy Director Xu, it is always a fact that the goods I bought are counterfeit. The law has never prohibited counterfeiting, so I implore the court to confirm the defendant’s fact of selling counterfeit goods and give the highest multiple compensation !"

Gao Shi recovered all of a sudden, obviously he got other advice, this advice was the mobile phone just now, but what he said was indeed correct, even if Gao Shi borrowed the money before, even if he knew Deputy Director Xu, there is The relationship is that Deputy Director Xu told him the news. It is always true that he bought fake products.

It is also true that as long as you buy a fake, you can claim.

The court that was dominated by Liu Xiaotian just now was finally moved by Gao Shi, and everyone remembered that today's case is an anti-counterfeiting case, as long as the evidence of counterfeit products is sufficient, the defendant will undoubtedly lose, the real dispute is the multiple of compensation.

From the current point of view, Liu Xiaotian has succeeded, ten times the maximum compensation may not be able to get, but more than eight times is still no problem, after all, what he bought this time is fake food products, such cases have always been severely punished.

"Mr. Gao, since health care products can be falsified, why can't the evidence be falsified? Mr. Gao, since I know about your relationship with Deputy Director Xu, I must know more than this. If you are willing to withdraw the lawsuit and apologize publicly, we You can not be held accountable for other things, otherwise, the consequences will be more than just an apology!"

Liu Xiaotian released a bomb again, even Mr. Zhuang raised his head and looked at him in astonishment. In the end, Zhang Yang told him quietly that he didn't need to worry, Lawyer Liu had already been authorized by Mr. Ji.

The auditorium was once again in an uproar, and the case unexpectedly took a 180-degree turn. No one thought that Liu Xiaotian's defense was not a liability defense, but an irresponsible defense. Obviously, what he meant now was that the other party intentionally falsified, forged evidence, deceived Malls and courts, wanting huge compensation.

If such a thing is true, there is no problem in sending them to prison.

"You, what nonsense are you talking about, Mr. Judge, I object to their statement. They are slandering, slandering!"

Gao Shi seemed very angry, but Liu Xiaotian had already noticed that under his anger was panic, very thick panic, he was already afraid of what Liu Xiaotian said.

"Defendant's defender, please present the evidence you said, otherwise this court will convict you of threatening!"

Mr. Judge said something directly to Liu Xiaotian, he was also a little annoyed at this meeting, Liu Xiaotian is not a judge, he even publicly asked the plaintiff to withdraw the lawsuit in court, and even said that he would not be held accountable, that's why the judge's words are so heavy, even conviction is not enough. Speak up.

If he is convicted by the court, Liu Xiaotian will not be arrested, but he will be dealt with formally. If there is such a deal, his lawyer license may be revoked. This is already a very serious warning.

"Sorry, Your Honor, I will present the evidence right away, but before presenting the evidence, I would like to request a witness to appear in court!"

Liu Xiaotian first apologized, he knew that doing so would irritate the judge, but he had all the evidence, enough evidence, the judge would not do anything to him if he presented the evidence, let alone such a conviction.

"Witnesses are allowed to appear in court!"

The judge quickly agreed that he had already issued a warning, he had already done what should be done, and he would not intentionally embarrass Liu Xiaotian.

The courtroom is a serious place, and it is precisely because of knowing this that Liu Xiaocai indulged once in a while. The witness was quickly brought over, and when he saw the witness Gao Shi, he was taken aback, and there was even a hint of panic in his eyes .

This witness turned out to be Deputy Director Xu.

Deputy Director Xu in the previous video came to the court in person. Many people have already understood that this case will definitely have a turning point, and it will be a big turning point. Even the reporters are watching with great interest. keen interest.

Some smart reporters have started quietly writing press releases and sending them out as quickly as possible.

Deputy Director Xu was not in good spirits. Standing on the witness stand, he first swore an oath and then began his own testimony. His testimony completely overturned everything Gao Shi said before and denied all Gao Shi's evidence.

According to Deputy Director Xu, he was actually bought by another shopping mall to discredit the shopping mall he was working for on purpose. The other party gave him a sum of money and had some bad evidence about him. To do this, Gao Shi was also the person that the mall was looking for. He had nothing to do with him before. It was he who taught Gao Shi what to do and how to buy things. Gao Shi sued Sino-Ocean Department Store and told the media.

Everything was right, except that Gao Shi was clever and wanted to ask for more benefits, but he didn't notify the media. Then he was scolded by Deputy Director Xu once, and there was a warning from the shopping mall over there, so he suddenly exposed all this.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Xiaotian handed in a series of evidence.

There is the real source of the goods here, and that batch of goods is in the hands of Deputy Director Xu. Notes, how to identify the results, and some images.

Deputy Director Xu is not stupid, he was coerced into doing all of this, so he kept an eye out and left some evidence, and now these evidences have been brought out, which became the ironclad evidence of Liu Xiaotian's comeback.

Pieces of evidence were like knives, cutting off Gao Shi's flesh and blood one by one.

In addition to Deputy Director Xu, Liu Xiaotian also prepared witnesses, this time the witness is the courier company, this batch of goods came by courier from other places, because food courier has strict regulations now, they opened it and inspected it.

Express delivery is not complicated to verify the authenticity of these health care products, they just confirmed that the goods were indeed delivered by them.

The ironclad evidence is so strong that both the genuine and the fake products appear together. It is clear at a glance that the result of this lawsuit is completely clear. This is a frame-up in itself, and a deliberate frame-up aimed at Sino-Ocean Department Store. However, Sino-Ocean Department Store did not know it and thought that someone was actually selling it. If you buy a fake, deal with it according to this.

It's no wonder that Sino-Ocean Department Store didn't find out the truth. The other party's evidence is too sufficient. How could they think that someone in their own or the management is an insider? In addition, Liu Xiang is really short of money. He has a motive to sell fake products, so they can't listen to it In addition, Liu Xiang's identification, plus the fact that Liu Xiang was caught and had dinner with Technician Wang a few times, is even more difficult to explain.

It wasn't until the facts came out that they discovered that Deputy Director Xu was actually guiding all of this, and it was also his idea to choose Liu Xiang's health care product sales office. Liu Xiang is the most suitable person to frame.

Fortunately, Liu Xiaotian believed Liu Xiang's words, believed that he was wronged, and then began to investigate. After a lot of effort, he finally found Deputy Director Xu, the insider, and found his evidence. Finally, the general manager came forward in person, severely warned and was willing to let him go. When he gave up, he finally agreed to be a tainted witness.

Deputy Director Xu's betrayal also completely brought the truth to the surface.

The court pronounced the verdict on the spot that Sino-Ocean Department Store did not sell counterfeit goods, and rejected all of Gao Shi's claims. In addition, Gao Shi was a false accusation, and his crime will be tried in a separate case, including Deputy Director Xu. Both Gao Shi and Deputy Director Xu will be dealt with.

Greedy Gao Shi will definitely be sentenced to prison. In fact, Liu Xiaotian really gave him a chance before and wanted to let him go. If he withdrew the lawsuit at that time, and when he turns around to be a tainted witness, Sino-Ocean Department Store will not hold him accountable. He still has freedom, but unfortunately he didn't seize the opportunity and ended up at this point.

In addition, there is Deputy Director Xu. Although he is also responsible, Sino-Ocean Department Store has already stated that he will not pursue it. Sino-Ocean Department Store will not pursue it. His crime is much lighter, but it is inevitable to go in, and he must stay there for a period of time. His behavior have violated the criminal law.
