Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!

Chapter 313 No, not again!? [Requesting monthly votes!]

Abuse of power
As soon as those four words were spoken, everyone in the judge's seat tensed up instantly.

Judge Liu, no longer caring that those four words were actually not written on the indictment, frowned and began to think.

These four words are not simple.

The lightest is very light, and the heaviest is very heavy!
As Xu Liang just said, these four words carry great weight.

They were almost indistinguishable from the colored organizations; they were practically the local weapons and ammunition!

In fact, Xu Liang's words were...
"Oh no, this is supposed to be a closed logical loop!"

On the defendant's side, Li Yang's expression changed, feeling increasingly troubled, and he cursed the monster in his heart.

In court, if a logical loop is found, the evidence that completes the loop almost never needs to be examined again.

Just now, he had intended to use his lack of ability rather than his attitude as an excuse.

If you are an ordinary person.

They will most likely engage in a detailed debate on this point, carefully examining whether the police officer's problem stemmed from an attitude issue or a competence issue.

But the other party is different.

Xu Liang launched an attack on Zhengyang City directly using his severed hand!
How could that be offensive?
After all, they couldn't find the person who cut off the hand, nor could they find out if the person really did cut off the hand because of Rundong Knitting Factory.

In theory, this could easily be a separate case!
but!

But the court isn't stupid!

The public isn't stupid. The courts are controlled by people, and anyone can make connections, extend their thinking, and link logic together.

'Causality is extremely important in court!'

Li Yang's face darkened as he pondered how to counter this move.

And at this time.

"Plaintiff, do you have any evidence?" Judge Liu asked hurriedly.

This matter is not for discussion in the courtroom; we need to guide the discussion as soon as possible!

"Your Honor, the perpetrators did not leave any clear traces, and we are unable to provide the court with any clear information at this time."

Xu Liang shook his head.

He paused for a moment, then added a sentence.

"Anyway."

"We have determined that Zhengyang Mining Company and Wu Guotao of Zhengyang City have colluded for their interests. It is highly likely that our client's left hand was cut off because of Wu Guotao!"

"At the same time, the repeated actions have already shown that Zhengyang City's problem is not a matter of ability."

"It's simply a matter of attitude!!!"

Ability and attitude are two completely different things.

If someone is incompetent, so be it. At most, we'll make them practice more and recruit some better police officers.

But if the attitude is wrong, a lot of trouble will follow!
"It's difficult."

Judge Liu clicked his tongue in amazement, his brows furrowed, and he rubbed his temples.

Zhao Yi, who was standing to the side, was still immersed in the thorny issue of the case.

It is evident that Judge Liu is like this.
Although it was very immoral, seeing this scene suddenly eased Zhao Yi's mood a little, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief, and he felt somewhat fortunate.

Thankfully, I'm not the presiding judge!

The court raided the official Zhengyang City courtroom.
This is ridiculous! The normal procedure is to resolve things internally, but Xu Liang just flipped the table right away!
Unfortunately, this case has attracted a great deal of attention, so the authorities have no choice but to investigate it thoroughly and give the public an answer. But by then, this investigation will no longer be an investigation.

It needs a new name, let's call it 'fan腐' (fan-fu).
"What should we do? Can the trial continue?" Judge Liu suddenly asked Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi snapped out of his daze, pondered for a moment, and said:
"Let's check according to the indictment first."

indictment.
Oh right, the indictment!

Judge Liu came to his senses.

He suddenly realized that what the two sides had just discussed was not mentioned in the indictment at all.

"Plaintiff, what do you have to say about the allegations in the complaint?"

indictment?
As soon as the words were spoken, Li Yang, the defendant, breathed a sigh of relief.

He wasn't worried about any problems with the mining company; there were no issues for the time being. His only fear was that Wu Guotao would be dragged into the mess, further widening his disadvantage.

Although it's already involved, there's still room for maneuver.
Until the next sentence.

A statement that was sure to shock everyone suddenly resounded in their ears.

"Your Honor, we suspect that Zhengyang City's 'Rare Earth New Materials Company' is colluding with Zhengyang Mining Enterprises!"

"Zhengyang Mining Company used coercion and enticement to kill Zhang Shan in order to obtain the land of Rundong Weaving Factory, and then immediately cooperated with 'Rare Earth New Materials Company'!"

"We are suing Zhengyangcheng Rare Earth New Materials Company for unfair competition, which violates commercial law!!!"

Tell the rare earth new materials company!
Isn't this a state-owned enterprise?

Judge Liu, Zhao Yi: ?

The three judges on the bench were stunned.

They're going to sue again?!

Wait, the statement and prosecution stage has already passed, so why are you bringing this up again now?!
Even Zhu Haoyi was stunned.

As the mastermind behind the entire case, Zhu Haoyi knew better than anyone who was involved.

Wu Guotao does indeed have some connections with the court.

But the rare earth new materials company is a state-owned enterprise.
The other party really has absolutely nothing to do with the case!
What did they do to deserve this? They didn't do anything at all; they were just a civil engineering senior diligently mining with a pickaxe. They have absolutely nothing to do with this matter.
until
"No!" Zhu Haoyi's expression suddenly changed.

He suddenly understood what Xu Liang was trying to do!
But Xu Liang's voice continued to come through.

"Your Honor, this is the underground mineral testing report concerning Rundong Weaving Factory. I had someone come and do it on the 14th."

Xu Liang remained calm as he took a document out of his briefcase.

The document was clearly about rare earth minerals.

"The reason why Zhengyang Mining acquired Rundong Weaving Factory is that the location of Rundong Weaving Factory is not wasteland, but a rare earth mine is hidden underground!"

"We have reason to suspect."

"It was the rare earth new materials company and Zhengyang Mining that set their sights on this mine. The two parties cooperated, intending to forcibly acquire the mine through illegal means in order to make huge profits!"

"And the reality was pretty much as expected."

"No sooner had we left Zhengyang City than Zhengyang Mining Company signed a contract with the New Materials Company and began forcibly demolishing the Rundong Weaving Factory, preparing to start mining!"

The moment these words were spoken, everyone present paused slightly.

They were immediately taken aback.

"There's a mine underground!?"

Judge Liu's eyes showed a hint of astonishment.

This is the issue that is not being heard in the local court.

Mining has already started in Zhengyangcheng, but the court doesn't know the outcome yet.
But if there's a mine beneath the weaving factory...
"It makes sense! Everything makes sense now!"

"No wonder! I was wondering why a mining company would acquire a weaving factory out of boredom. Now I know, there's a mine underground!"

"I remember rare earth elements being quite expensive, right? This stuff is incredibly profitable!"

"It's common for people to die in coal mines, but to kill someone for an unclaimed rare earth mine, putting aside any conscience, is indeed a very profitable deal!"

Are there still good people in Zhengyang City?!

"."

The audience members looked on with a sudden realization, followed by shock and fear.

Judging from what Xu Liang said, Zhengyang City is already as corrupt as it gets; ordinary people have no chance of getting ahead!
"Defendant, do you wish to present your defense?"

Judge Liu was breathing heavily and urged the defendant to provide an explanation for the above.

Zhu Haoyi's face was gloomy.

Explanation?

If it's half true and half false, how should he explain it?

What's there to explain?!
Complete denial? Impossible. The mine at Rundong Weaving Factory has already started mining. The higher-ups don't even need to investigate; a simple verification is enough to confirm that the mining company knew about the underground mine before signing the contract.

This is perfectly understandable, since buying and selling using information asymmetry is a legitimate business practice.

Can.
If he admits to this, how can he then distance himself from the new materials company?
Oh, does that mean that although the actual behavior was exactly the same as what Xu Liang said, the other party didn't participate at all, and only I was involved?
Even if it's true, would anyone believe it?
Nobody will believe that!!!
The logic has reached a dead end; no matter which way you go, you'll just hit a wall.
"Damn it, that beast!"

Zhu Haoyi was increasingly anxious and furious, and a dark glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at Xu Liang.

Li Yang took a deep breath, his face grim, and said:

"presiding judge."

"We have never used coercion or inducement; all of Zhang Shan's actions were normal business practices."

"The Zhengyangcheng police deduced that his suicide was due to his fragile inner self, his inability to withstand the pressure, which led to a psychological breakdown and an attempt to escape reality!"

With that, Li Yang reluctantly handed over some documents.

What he said had nothing to do with what Xu Liang said.

Theoretically, it doesn't constitute an answer, but he dared not respond.

Given Xu Liang's logic and reality, if he dared to respond, he would inevitably fall into the other party's rhythm.

Instead, you should get off the topic and directly present your evidence!
"On the 12th, I reached an agreement with Zhang Shan, transferred the funds and signed the contract on the same day."

"However, according to our investigation, Rundong Knitting Factory does not belong solely to Zhang Shan."

"Instead, it was started by a factory director and several deputy factory directors who jointly invested in the project!"

"In other words, the profits from the sale of the factory should be reasonably distributed among Liu Jinshui, the client, but..."

Li Yang was clear-headed; although he was in a hurry, his words were logically sound.

"That afternoon, the other party's wife disappeared, along with hundreds of thousands of yuan in transferred funds!"

"Our speculation is that Zhang Shan's death was most likely caused by his wife embezzling and running away with all the money, leaving him with no money to distribute the assets with the founder of the weaving factory, which led to his collapse and death!"

This explanation.

This not only fits the suicide scenario but also absolves the mining company of responsibility and even shifts the blame to the internal workings of the weaving factory.

It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone!
Li Yang took a deep breath and only then did he realize that some cold sweat had unknowingly broken out on his back.

He knew Xu Liang, and even Zhu Haoyi knew him.

They did not underestimate their enemy; otherwise, they would not have killed Zhang Shan immediately after realizing that Zhang Shan had found Xu Liang to prevent Xu Liang from coming.

But since he had already taken on the subsequent cases, there was nothing he could do, so Li Yang had no choice but to try taking them on himself.

Li Yang thought the case would be difficult to win, but he never expected...
This case is incredibly difficult to win!

monster
The other party's ability to respond on the spot is simply monstrous. No matter what I say, they can always find a way to trap me with another sentence!

If it's premeditated, then it's even more terrifying. That is to say, before the trial even begins, the other party knows exactly what you will say in each uncertain situation. This is simply beyond the realm of human capability!
