Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Will this cause irreparable harm to the whistleblower...?

The moment those words were spoken.

At the scene, all the judicial professionals instantly felt their pupils shrink and a slight chill run down their spines.

Even the audience members couldn't help but gasp in shock.

Yes...

"That's right, if their identity is really discovered...it's definitely not going to be good!"

"That's right. If the whistleblower's identity is exposed... it would be incredibly easy for Sun Hu to order his men to kill him. A car accident, or a mysterious disappearance... that's a real threat!"

"I didn't even realize it until this person pointed it out. This isn't an investigation into whether the lawyer violated regulations... it's an investigation into the identity of the anonymous whistleblower!"

"Thank goodness, we didn't investigate the right person, we investigated Xu De..."

"..."

The audience included ordinary people, but ordinary people are not fools.

After hearing what Xu De had said, he immediately understood and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

Fortunately, Xu De was not the whistleblower.

If he were the whistleblower... who knows what kind of personal danger might occur.

This is not alarmist, but a fact. You should know that the existence of anonymous whistleblowers is allowed precisely because such objective events exist!

After thinking this through...

next second.

When everyone saw the intense gaze, they frowned, their expressions turning grim, clearly showing their anger.

The fact that the other party defended Sun Hu was already disheartening enough, but now they've launched an unwarranted and illegal investigation...

Everyone was itching to curse at the other party!

"Defendant, this is a warning!"

On the judge's bench.

Presiding Judge Zhao De took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and glared at Yan Mi, saying angrily:

"The evidence you submitted involves a surprise trial and an unauthorized investigation of an anonymous whistleblower. Now, the court..."

"Not accepted!"

Your aforementioned statements are rejected!

No...not adopted?

Upon hearing this, Yan Mi's expression instantly turned to astonishment.

Although there may be surprise court hearings, it is common for judges to reject evidence that does not directly affect the overall case.

Can......

The information I provided was insufficient to advance the case.

But it is definitely a truly "big deal"!

Normally, shouldn't the case be adopted, followed by a recess, and if no result is reached after discussion, should Xu De be asked to recuse himself due to the risks?

How come... it was simply rejected outright?!

"Your Honor, I..."

Yan Mi originally wanted to speak, but unexpectedly... the other party didn't give him the chance at all.

"There's no need to discuss this further; the case continues!" Judge Zhao De stated bluntly.

No further discussion needed...

After a moment of tight silence, he could only take a deep breath and swallow the words he hadn't finished saying.

These four words carry significant weight in court; there's no need to fight for them anymore.

only......

"What a pretentious thing!"

Looking up at the agent's seat, Xu De's face was filled with grief and indignation, his fists clenched tightly, his heart filled with resentment.

He was certain that the other party... definitely had something wrong with them.

Unfortunately, it's no use saying anything now.

But... what else could he say if not this?

Yan Mi lowered his head, looked at his empty briefcase, felt a pang of sadness, and his expression gradually turned helpless.

In this case, the defense attorney has very little room to maneuver.

First, defendants are generally divided into two categories: guilty and innocent.

For some innocent defendants, a direct investigation is sufficient; if information can be found, at least three years of recess can be granted.

But if someone is guilty... then a flawed chain of evidence is worth arguing about.

But what if the chain of evidence is complete, and there's irrefutable proof?

To be honest, in this situation... it's likely that the court had already internally discussed how to rule on the case before the trial even started, and the trial itself was just a formality.

I have done the best I can.

Three questions, a surprise court hearing...

Yan Mi murmured to himself.

This was the limit of what he could do; each move was a powerful counterattack, especially the surprise attack in court... In theory, it was meant to catch the other side off guard.

Unfortunately, the other party's words were watertight, and they even managed to frame themselves as the investigator who provided evidence...

"Bang!"

At that moment, a clear, crisp sound rang out.

Look up.

On the judge's bench, Judge Zhao De brought down his gavel, then looked at him and asked again:

"Defendant, do you have anything else to say?!"

Upon hearing this...

After a moment of silence, Yan Mi took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

"Our side..."

"Maintain a conservative attitude!"

A conservative attitude is to stick to previous arguments.

However, what the other side insisted on was not the surprise trial, but those three questions!

Did Sun Hu kill supervisor Huang Chengwei, and did he also kill reporter Wang Han? And was it Zhang Mushan or Zhu Dali who killed him?

"The defendant, Sun Hu... is not the main culprit; the prosecution lacks the most direct evidence!" Yan Mi said in a deep voice.

The moment those words were spoken.

The entire First Courtroom fell silent for a moment.

The atmosphere was quiet and oppressive; everyone in the audience held their breath, and no one spoke.

The defendant's seat.

The defendant, Zhu Dali, shrank his neck, but then, as if he had thought of something, he became defiant again and looked around nonchalantly.

The two accomplices shrank back.

Defendant Sun Hu...

Sun Hu leaned back in his chair, his posture not relaxed. He stared at Xu De with a gloomy expression, pretending to be relaxed, but his tense muscles and rapid breathing betrayed him.

The three prosecutors frowned, lowered their heads, and pondered whether there were any other angles they could investigate.

Just when the scene was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and everyone was completely silent...

In a daze.

A voice appeared from the seat of the civil litigation agent.

"Your Honorable Judge."

"We have some matters to discuss with the defendant, Zhu Dali. Please grant us permission."

Everyone looked up and saw that it was Xu De who was speaking.

The sound wasn't loud.

But in the quiet setting, it appeared incredibly clear.

Presiding Judge Zhao De nodded slightly, then spoke:

"it is good."

Xu De nodded, then suddenly narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharpening like a sword blade, piercing towards the defendant Zhu Dali.

"The defendant is Zhu Dali!"

Six words fell.

Suddenly, Zhu Dali's name was called from the defendant's seat. Startled, he recognized the speaker as Xu De and quickly regained his composure, asking:

"I...I'm here, what do you want?"

"Please don't be nervous as I'll be asking you some ordinary questions."

Xu De smiled slightly, then paused, took out a document, and slowly said:

"Based on the information from the police investigation... your role at the construction site was that of a warehouse material handler?"

Zhu Dali thought about it for a moment, wondering if there was a trap involved. After a brief pause, he nodded.

"Yes."

Everyone knows this; it's the truth. He was responsible for moving materials from the construction site into the warehouse.

"What is the daily work of a material handler?" Xu De asked again.

It's still a very simple question.

Now, even the prosecutor and the judge didn't know what he was doing, but they just frowned and didn't interrupt.

Time is precious; if this is delayed any longer, the court will have to adjourn, and it will be at least half a month before it reopens.

The other party should know what's going on.

"The materials are here, and we're unloading them from the truck," Zhu Dali said cautiously.

He finished speaking.

He added another sentence himself.

"Generally speaking, we take a lunch break and then resume work at 1:30."

"Regular workers finish get off work at six o'clock, but if there are no other materials, we movers can leave at five o'clock."

"Besides me, there were two other movers."

Upon hearing this...

Xu De nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Immediately afterwards, he added:

What kinds of materials are typically moved? And how much does it usually cost?

money?

Upon hearing this, everyone paused slightly, then seemed to realize something, their eyes occasionally glancing at Sun Hu.

After a moment's thought, Zhu Dali spoke:

"They have everything, basically any building material you can find... even renovation-related items."

"As for the salary... it's 30 yuan a day, and 900 yuan a month for 30 days."

Nine hundred yuan, in today's average income, is not high, but it is not low either.

Generally speaking, moving is a physically demanding job, so the wages are higher... Well, this price is pretty good.

"I noticed that on a certain day, a total of 1 ton of rebar was being moved at the construction site."

"Excuse me, what's the typical price range for this?"

After a brief calculation, Zhu Dali finally spoke up: "The price is generally 3,700 yuan per ton at the end of the year, 2,500 yuan per ton at the beginning of the year, and 3,400 yuan per ton in the middle of the year."

Xu Dedao: "It was obtained in May."

"Those 18 tons would generally cost 45,000 yuan," Zhu Dali said.

Forty-five thousand?

Upon hearing this...

Xu De's face showed a look of great interest. He shifted his gaze to Sun Hu and smiled:

"Forty-five thousand... Your Honor."

"While investigating the bank's cash flow, we discovered a shell company that had delivered a batch of steel weighing 18 tons to the construction site for 10 yuan."

"And this wasn't the first time,"

10W...18 tons of rebar?

So that's almost 5,600 yuan per ton!?

Everyone was surprised.

Sun Hu looked somewhat embarrassed.

What does this mean? It's clearly accusing him of corruption!

He clenched his fists but didn't say anything. After all, the company's internal corruption was common knowledge, and the police had checked the accounts; it was impossible to hide it.

However... hopefully the other party won't be able to find all the corruption records. If so... I'm afraid the charges related to corruption alone will put him in a longer sentence!

at this time.

Xu De asked again:

"What about the sand and gravel? I remember there were 5 tons of sand and gravel in the books."

After understanding what the other party meant, Zhu Dali immediately said, "Sand and gravel are cheap, 45 yuan per ton, so 5 tons of sand and gravel would only cost 225 yuan."

"That's true, the expenditure on sand and gravel in the accounts is indeed not much."

Xu De nodded and then asked, "What about the cement? There's a record in the ledger for 6 tons of cement worth 1."

cement?

Upon hearing this price...

Sun Hu frowned slightly.

He did embezzle money; embezzlement on construction sites usually involves money for materials, but... he wouldn't do something so obviously dishonest, it would be too conspicuous.

Could it be...?

Did I remember things wrong?

Zhu Dali's face showed a shocked expression, and he couldn't help but glance at Sun Hu.

Six tons of cement for ten thousand yuan?

This person is really greedy!

However, thinking of this, a hint of schadenfreude welled up inside him, but he didn't show it on his face. He simply thought for a moment and then said:

"What about the bricks? How many bricks do we need for 3 tons?" Xu De asked.

Zhu Dali answered directly, "It's very cheap, you can get it for just a few dozen yuan."

Xu De then asked, "If I were to ask you to unload these items one by one and transport them into the warehouse, generally speaking, based on your prices... how long would it take?"

"I'm referring to peak hours, moving things all day."

Upon hearing this...

A surge of anger welled up in Zhu Dali's heart.

Judging from what this lawyer said, Sun Hu would dare to embezzle 50,000 to 60,000 yuan from just a batch of materials, and he could do it with just a few words.

And what about yourself?

Only 900 a month!

"It will be very busy; there are only three people in our warehouse."

"We start moving at eight in the morning, and even if we're exhausted, we have to keep moving until six in the evening."

Zhu Dali spoke, his tone full of sarcasm.

"The pay is pretty good, 900 yuan a month...hehehe."

"The fastest?" Xu De asked. "Are there any exceptions?"

"The earliest I can get off work is six o'clock. I've been doing this for so many years, and the earliest I've ever gotten off work is six o'clock. I've never gotten off earlier," Zhu Dali said. "And even then, I'm sacrificing my lunch break."

Nine hundred dollars.

Upon hearing this, the entire First Courtroom erupted in uproar.

On one side are people who embezzle at least 50,000 worth of materials every day.

On the other hand, there are manual laborers earning only 900 yuan a month...

The gap between the rich and the poor is cruel, and the amount of money obtained through corruption can distort one's view of money... No, not distorted, but rather, a loss of concept of that amount of money!

For example, in later generations, the amount of embezzled funds that were uncovered was often in the hundreds of millions or even billions. Most people only knew that it was a lot, but they lacked an intuitive understanding of this amount of money.

Despite all my hard work, these people manage to slip through my fingers and overtake me...

and......

From this perspective, Sun Hu's embezzlement at the construction site was exceptionally serious. Only two-thirds or even half of the project funds were used for construction, or rather... not even half of the money was used!

Thinking of this, everyone became serious.

You should know that the project contracted by Hongyang Company... is to build a medium-sized community hospital!

"presiding judge!"

The seat for civil litigation agents.

At this moment, Xu De took a deep breath, stood up, and looked at Zhao De on the judge's bench.

"Regarding this case, concerning the matter of embezzlement, I think the facts are already very clear."

"As can be clearly seen from the above, the defendant, Sun Hu, made significant fluctuations in the various expenditures related to the construction project of the 'Yanzhou City Community Hospital'!"

"The discrepancy between the accounts and the facts constitutes serious embezzlement and corruption!"

Upon hearing this...

Everyone's eyes instinctively turned to Sun Hu, their gazes filled with contempt and disgust.

The defendant, Xi Sunhu, looked somewhat pale.

only......

Just when everyone thought this was the trial for embezzlement...

In a daze.

"and!"

All I heard was the seat of the civil litigation agent.

Xu De suddenly paused, then abruptly changed the subject, his eyes instantly sharpening as he pierced Sun Hu in the defendant's seat.

talking.

He pulled out a document, and on the document... if he wasn't mistaken, it should be a statement made by the police in May.

"May 7, 2003, the day the victim died in the Kiyama case."

「7号当天，工地仓库共进18吨钢筋、6吨水泥、砂石5吨、辅料3吨！」

"A total of 30 tons of materials!"

According to the defendant Zhu Dali, if these building materials were delivered to the construction site, the work would not be completed until at least 6 p.m., and there was no way it could be faster!

"But then a problem arises."

"The victim, Zhang Mushan, died at 5:30 PM. If the defendant, Zhu Dali, had no record of taking leave and was working full-time..."

"So, how could he, who didn't get off work until 6 PM... have murdered Zhang Mushan at 5:30 PM?"

In a daze.

Xu De abruptly changed the subject, unexpectedly drawing everyone's attention to another angle.

Zhu Dali didn't get off work until 6 PM, and had been at the construction site until then... while the deceased Zhang Mushan... had died half an hour earlier?

No...that's not right.

The company clearly stated that on May 7th, the movers finished get off work at 5 PM, and Zhu Dali waited on the road for half an hour after they finished get off work before killing the person... But Zhu Dali, the worker who personally moved the materials, said very absolutely that even at the fastest, it would have been 6 PM.

I have never left work at 5 PM while handling 30 tons of material!

If that's the case...

In the defendant's dock, Zhu Dali, who had been gloating, was suddenly stunned.

In the defendant's dock, Yan Mi suddenly looked up, staring intently at Xu De.

The crowd's expressions gradually turned to astonishment.

"If the warehouse movers' actual off-get off work time is on May 7th, the earliest they can get off work is 6 PM."

"So, who exactly is the murderer who appeared at the crime scene at 5:30 a.m. half an hour ago and caused the death of Zhang Mushan...?"

"Who is it?"

Xu De spoke calmly, then slowly looked at Sun Hu, whose face was somewhat ashen. He narrowed his eyes, intending to catch the other party off guard.

"What do you think, Mr. Sun?"

The words were spoken.

Suddenly, in the defendant's seat, Sun Hu's face turned ashen, and his fists clenched tightly.
