Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!
Chapter 245 Court Adjourned! A Strange Medical Examination! [Requesting Monthly Tickets!]
Chapter 245 Court Adjourned! A Strange Medical Examination! [Requesting Monthly Tickets!]
These few words, as if anticipated, made the plaintiffs' faces grow increasingly grim.
Chai Shirong stared at Xu Liang with a gloomy expression for a long time, and four words popped into his mind.
'Moral blackmail!'
That's right, it's moral blackmail!
Regardless of whether the group and hospital will go bankrupt after taking on the treatment, as long as you don't agree, in other people's eyes, what killed Feng Nan and the others will not be an illness.
It's actually 'Giant Star Pharmaceutical Group'!
Chai Shirong understands public opinion all too well; as long as he dares to say no in court...
The overwhelming public opinion right now will instantly turn against him!
So, it's settled?
72 people, just the cost of medicine alone is tens of millions. Even if the cost price is low, if there is no worry about sales, not making a profit is a loss!
How could Han Chengguang possibly give this money to these sickly people?
a long time.
Chai Shirong took a deep breath, ignoring the astonished and even puzzled gazes from the audience.
He looked at Zhao Jiaqi on the bench and said:
"Your Honor, the opposing counsel's claim of 'emergency avoidance' is based on the issue of 'generic drugs'!"
"We maintain that the smuggled drugs in this case are not generic drugs, but outright counterfeit drugs!"
If it's fake medicine, then it's not self-help.
If it can't be called self-rescue, then the so-called emergency avoidance is even less likely to occur!
But that's what I've said.
"Can we then conclude that as long as the drug is a generic version, this case meets the criteria for emergency avoidance?"
Xu Liang suddenly spoke, giving the judge no chance to ask questions.
Seeing that the other party still wanted to refute, Xu Liang directly took out two documents from his briefcase.
"This is academic literature concerning those who participated in the 'emergency avoidance' amendment during the last legislative amendment!"
Are these auxiliary materials?
Everyone was taken aback, their faces showing confusion.
Zhao Jiaqi raised an eyebrow. Using documents as supplementary materials was not uncommon, but the one Xu Liang pulled out was quite unusual.
Why wasn't it printed out?
Looking at the yellowed paper, Zhao Jiaqi frowned, and the next second...
"It is also the original manuscript of this academic paper!"
"In other words, Article 21 of the Criminal Law is amended based on this academic document, and it is also an interpretation of this legal provision!"
Xu Liang spoke slowly, his expression calm, as if he were only taking out some insignificant things.
Original.Original manuscript! ?
"Where did you get the original manuscript?!"
Zhao Jiaqi was stunned, staring at the thing Xu Liang was holding up, and several questions flashed through her mind again.
Is this something that ordinary people can come across?
impossible!
unless
"That's right. Before the trial, I had a thorough discussion with the author of this academic paper regarding the trial of this case."
Looking at Zhao Jiaqi, Xu Liang said calmly:
"The opposing party believes that, in this case, our client..."
"It fully complies with the emergency avoidance law!"
Those who revised the emergency avoidance law, those with a certain degree of legal interpretation authority, believe that it indeed conforms to the emergency avoidance law!?
In an instant.
The scene gradually quieted down.
Even Chai Shirong and Sha Jin were stunned, staring at the manuscript for a long time.
After a long while, the two of them came to their senses, their eyes twitched instantly, and they hurriedly said:
"Your Honor, even those who amend the law only have the right to interpret it to a certain extent, not the right to explain it!"
"We believe the information submitted by the defendant should be rejected!"
joke.
What is a lawsuit?
The lawsuit is like playing a thrilling game of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) using cards printed by someone else!
Everyone has a different set of cards, and the order in which they are arranged and the strategies for dealing with the opponent are also different. Whether you can win or not depends entirely on luck and skill.
But Xu Liang's actions...
This is not a card game.
This is printing a sign!
When you throw out a three-of-a-kind, he immediately prints out two royal flushes!
If the judge were to waver because of this, what would be the point of pursuing a lawsuit?
"What we say is our interpretation!" Xu Liang's voice was even louder, completely drowning out the other party's.
He paused for a moment, then took out another document.
"This is the original interpretation of the amendments to the crime of endangering public safety submitted by the opposing lawyer!"
"Similarly, the opposing party stated that the plaintiff confused the concept of the crime of endangering public safety!"
Chai Shirong: ?
Chai Shirong was stunned, staring at the brand-new manuscript, unable to understand why Xu Liang would do this when he had nothing better to do.
After a long while, his face darkened, and he came up with a plan. He then gave Sha Jin a wink.
Sha Jin immediately understood, stood up, and said while handing over the documents:
"Your Honor, this is a component analysis report from the pharmaceutical company that manufactures the genuine drug 'Imatinib,' specifically regarding the smuggled drugs in this case!"
"The pharmaceutical company has declared that this drug is completely counterfeit and has absolutely no relation to imatinib!"
After the clerk finished speaking and checked that there were no problems, he submitted the report again.
just
"Juxing Pharmaceutical Group has a business partnership with pharmaceutical companies. This information should be discarded and re-analyzed by an authoritative third-party organization!"
Xu Liang said in a cold voice.
When pharmaceutical companies and Juxing Pharmaceutical Group stand together, the population of Lanshan Province, exceeding 100 million, is equivalent to the market of an entire foreign country.
Han Chengguang is the only agent, so how could the pharmaceutical company possibly target him?!
Add to that the potential for conflict of interest, and the current uncertainty surrounding deaths caused by these drugs—how could pharmaceutical companies possibly claim they are producing generic versions?!
Investigating yourself? Ridiculous!
"Please, Your Honor, make a wise judgment!" Chai Shirong ignored Xu Liang and turned to look at Zhao Jiaqi.
Zhao Jiaqi frowned.
The three judges on the bench kept exchanging words, as if they had encountered some kind of difficult problem.
"What's going on?"
"Are you sure? The manuscript submitted by the defendant is indeed the original!"
"Yes, this kind of thing can't be forged; it's the original. And if it's the original..."
Zhao Jiaqi and the other two were starting to have a headache.
The original document, along with what Xu Liang just said, basically represents the attitude of those who want to amend the law.
Yes, Wu Chengjun has no right to interpret, only the right to interpret.
Since the law can be amended and passed, it can only mean that the committee with the power of interpretation also has this idea, and this case really meets the criteria for emergency avoidance!
just
"The plaintiff's drug analysis report"
A judge pulled out the test report, looked at the analysis, and frowned deeply.
The pharmaceutical company claims that this is not a generic drug.
Should the case be treated as counterfeit medicine?
If the medicine is counterfeit, the so-called emergency avoidance is invalid, and the case will come to a close. However, the consequences will only be a decline in the credibility of the court and the deaths of Feng Nan and others due to illness!
“No, it’s absurd to examine yourself,” Zhao Jiaqi said directly.
"We can't really take emergency evacuation measures, can we?"
The judge frowned.
The cause of death of Li Guang and Li Ye is still shrouded in mystery, and it is too early to draw conclusions about whether the smuggled medicine was counterfeit or imitation.
Furthermore...
"The pharmaceutical company that makes 'Imatinib' also needs to pay attention. If this isn't handled properly, the company might withdraw from Lanshan Province, leaving everyone without medicine!"
Zhao Jiaqi felt a splitting headache.
Both the case itself and the courtroom proceedings left him feeling incredibly conflicted.
The whole case was like a hodgepodge, and there was no perfect solution.
Especially court hearings!
The debate between the two sides regarding the authenticity of the drugs, mutual accusations of bribery, emergency avoidance, and the original manuscript.
Any one of these controversial points could be enough to give an ordinary case a headache for months!
In a trance.
An eerie silence fell over the courtroom; the plaintiff, the defendant, and even the judge's bench all fell silent.
Ironically, the faint commotion in the audience became the loudest sound.
"What's going on? Is it a fake drug? Wasn't it supposed to be effective? How come the pharmaceutical company is claiming it's fake?!"
"My mind is a bit of a mess. How did they get those original manuscripts? And they're original manuscripts of two legal cases!"
"Why is the information given by those three witnesses different from the information provided by Feng Nan?"
"The plaintiff claims there was no profit, and the police investigation of the cash flow confirms that there was indeed no profit. However, Yang Hao and the other two were initially on the plaintiff's side, and they claimed to have made a profit and that they were selling counterfeit drugs."
"."
The people in the audience frowned, and some even started to murmur amongst themselves.
Wang Hao, sitting in the front row, was breathing rapidly, praying that the verdict would be in favor of the plaintiff.
Sitting not far away, Zhang Tao and Li Ye frowned. It was as if they had gleaned some insights from this case.
The smell of gunpowder!
The smell of gunpowder was very strong and intense!
Whether it was the information submitted by Chai Shirong or the demands made by Xu Liang, every piece of information had a counter-argument to it!
A full-scale standoff!
Several hours of court proceedings have passed, and no matter what information is presented, no suitable party has been found. The atmosphere is so tense that it seems as if the courtroom could explode at any moment!
"Why aren't they speaking? Neither side is submitting new evidence, and there are no new witnesses. The judge should speak up now."
"I don't know, but the judge seemed to be thinking about something."
"Does nobody care about Juxing Pharmaceutical Group? Aren't they a welfare pharmaceutical company? Why didn't they agree to the defendant's request to help those patients?"
"I don't know, maybe they're just reluctant to spend the money?"
"."
I heard the sounds around me gradually shifting towards me.
Han Chengguang and Chai Shirong's expressions gradually turned grim.
As expected, Xu Liang's actions completely shifted public attention from the deaths caused by counterfeit drugs to the fact that Juxing Pharmaceutical Group was responsible for the treatment.
After the trial, their first priority wasn't dealing with the case, but with the public opinion!
dock.
Xu Liang, on the other hand, was still pondering the source of Li Guang's stomach spasms.
Feng Nan glared at the three witnesses with a furious look, but Yang Hao and the others completely ignored her gaze.
Everyone has their own agenda, and no one knows what the person involved is really thinking.
until
"boom!"
In the dock, a hammer suddenly fell like a thunderclap.
Everyone instantly snapped out of their daze and looked up.
But then, Zhao Jiaqi took a deep breath, his expression serious, revealing no trace of joy or anger.
He has almost finished discussing it.
The case has too many suspicious points and points of contention.
No, or rather, it's full of points of contention from beginning to end. The defendant and the plaintiff each stick to their own version of events, and neither side is willing to give in. Continuing like this will not lead to any results!
so.
"Because the evidence submitted by both the plaintiff and the defendant contained unverified information, this hearing is now adjourned."
Zhao Jiaqi paused, then said in a deep voice:
"Adjourn the court!"
"During the recess, the court will verify all information from the trial proceedings."
"The court will reopen on May 17th after the information is verified!!!"
Zhao Jiaqi announced directly:
"Please leave the courtroom in an orderly manner. This hearing is now officially concluded."
Court adjourned!
Finished.
Without any hesitation, the three judges stood up, took the documents in their hands, and walked out, giving the people present no chance to ask any questions.
a long time.
The people at the scene then realized what was happening.
Court adjourned!
The trial phase has come to an end!
"The objective has been achieved."
Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief. The adjournment was exactly what he wanted, and now he had another 15 days for the investigation!
As for
Will Wu Chengjun have any objections?
Xu Liang thought about it and figured it probably wouldn't happen. After all, he hadn't lied in court. Even if the old man was dissatisfied, he could only mutter a few words to him, and then Xu Liang could just say some nice things to coax him.
Compared to the present situation, investigation is more important!
Thinking of this, Xu Liang no longer hesitated, stood up, and helped Feng Nan up.
"It's time to go."
Xu Liang said.
Feng Nan paused, her gaze lingering on Yang Hao and the three plaintiff witnesses for a long time.
Finally, he withdrew his angry gaze.
Her hunched body, like withered branches and fallen leaves, slowly walked out of the courtroom.
On the plaintiff's side.
Han Chengguang and Chai Shirong initially intended to leave the scene immediately, but then convened an emergency meeting to deal with the unexpected incident.
Unexpectedly, just as I stood up, someone couldn't wait any longer and spoke up.
"Chairman Han! What is your statement regarding the defendant's suggestion during the court hearing that the group should treat the patients from the mutual aid association involved in this case?"
"Mr. Han, is Juxing Pharmaceutical Group willing to take responsibility for the follow-up treatment?"
"In recent years, Great Star Pharmaceutical Group has been contributing to charitable welfare with huge investments. I wonder if it can maintain its original intention this time?"
"Chairman Han, is the pharmaceutical group truly willing to take responsibility?"
"."
A series of questions followed.
Han Chengguang's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
If we agree to have the first mutual aid group, there will be a second mutual aid group, and if there is a second one, there will be a third one!
Under this kind of moral coercion, no pharmaceutical company can compete with us!
Even national medical insurance, backed by the state, doesn't dare to easily guarantee certain drugs, let alone Han Chengguang.
But if he utters even half a word of "no"
Han Chengguang, Chai Shirong, Sha Jin, and others left the courtroom quickly with grim faces.
Unfortunately, as soon as they saw them leaving, countless reporters quickly packed up their equipment and chased after them, stopping Han Chengguang and his group in just a moment.
Looking at the camera, everyone's expressions grew increasingly grim.
Half past five in the afternoon.
Outside the court.
Xu Liang helped Feng Nan into the back seat, then plopped down in the passenger seat.
A gentle voice came from the driver's seat.
How's the trial going?
Turning his head, he saw Yang Ruoxi, who had been waiting at the door, looking at Xu Liang with a hint of unease.
"Just as expected, but I didn't expect Chai Shirong's ability to handle the situation on the spot to surpass that of Cheng Jia and Zhao Hailong."
Xu Liang began to speak.
Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it meets expectations, that's fine.
Xu Liang paused, collected his thoughts, turned to look at her, and suddenly asked:
"How's your investigation going?"
The two girls were not brought to court because he had sent them to do other things.
The timing and cause of illness in the Li Ye, Li Guang, and Feng Nan family of three are extremely strange!
Leukemia can be hereditary, but their parents and even their ancestors did not have this disease.
However, the three were diagnosed one after another, and the time between their diagnosis was much less than six months!
This is not right, this is 110% wrong!
Therefore, Xu Liang instructed the three to investigate the remaining members of the mutual aid society to observe whether similar phenomena existed. Ultimately...
"We've noticed a few things that aren't quite right."
"The majority of people in the mutual aid group are children, and more than a dozen of them are between the ages of 6 and 15. After investigation, I found that without exception, all of these people are related to Juxing Pharmaceutical Group."
"I have received a health check-up as part of the company's benefits program."
Yang Ruoxi snapped out of her daze, her brows furrowing as she spoke, her expression very serious.
Welfare medical check-up?
Xu Liang paused, then frowned and asked, "What kind of physical examination?"
"I don't know for sure yet, but after pressing them, I discovered the medical examinations these children underwent."
As she spoke, Yang Ruoxi hesitated.
"Something's wrong!"
Xu Liang frowned, and the images of Li Ye, Li Guang, and Feng Nan flashed through his mind.
Feng Nan also mentioned that her family of three had received free medical services from Juxing Pharmaceutical Group.
If it's related to a medical checkup.
That.
"What could be wrong with a physical exam?!"
