Chapter 682 The Captain Must Die! Zhang Tianlong's Plan

"I am the captain of the Oriental Star, and my surname is Lao, Lao of Labor."

"Two years ago, I received two pieces of money. One was from Duanmu Heizu, and I helped him smuggle pirates into the ship to deal with his enemies. The other was from Chairman Zhang Tianlong. He asked me to do my best! "

"I admit that the attack on the Oriental Star two years ago was all planned by Chairman Zhang. He attacked those people. He and Captain Bashaluo cooperated internally and externally. I was only in charge of sailing the ship. Everything was done by him. !"

"I know you will wonder why I pleaded guilty. I said that I have a disturbed conscience, but you probably won't believe it. In fact, I really did it because of my conscience. Whenever I close my eyes, what I think of is those who died. , They looked at me ferociously, dangling in front of my eyes day and night, I was about to collapse, I was really going to collapse for guarding this secret..."

"When I come back, back to Dongfangdu, I will tell you all the secrets. I promise that this time I will be worthy of my conscience!"

The video ends here, but it's enough to show cause and effect.

"Judge Chen, as well as the defense, you all saw that Captain Lao pleaded guilty and testified against Chairman Zhang and his party!"

Zhao Chunming looked at Zhang Tianlong with no fear in his eyes: "Chairman Zhang is the mastermind, and Mr. Lin of the Jincheng Group who is responsible for sending invitations, and Mr. Wu are all accomplices. They are all responsible for the attack two years ago. !"

"As for the victim..."

Zhao Chunming looked at Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

A woman came to the court under the escort of court guards.

"This is the widow of the deceased Mr. Zhou. He has entrusted lawyer Zhang Wei to initiate a civil lawsuit against Chairman Zhang. She also believes that the death of her husband was caused by Chairman Zhang!"

As soon as this remark came out, Zhang Tianlong was a little surprised.

There is still a civil court?

Zhang Tianlong and Lin Xiangtian looked at each other.

"It should be the routine of civil court + criminal court. Once we are convicted here, the civil court can directly use our case as the basis for ruling, and let us pay the family members an additional damage compensation!"

Lin Xiangtian is naturally an old Jianghu, so he can see Zhang Wei's purpose at a glance.

"And if you go to the civil court, you can use the media to publicize that they are victims and attack our reputation!"

Seeing this, Laura on the side said the same thing in a low voice.

She also often used this trick to get orphans and widows to sell miserably in court, which could gain the sympathy of the jury.

Whether it is a civil court or a criminal court, this trick has been tried and tested.

"Is the victim?"

Zhang Tianlong looked at the woman with cold eyes.

"Defense, it's your turn to speak."

Old Chen also looked over, looking at Lin Xiangtian and Laura.

"You come!"

This time, Lin Xiangtian didn't plan to speak and asked Laura to speak as a lawyer.

After all, they paid for it. It is impossible for Laura to keep receiving money and stop working, so that the lawyer's fees will not be wasted.

Laura sorted out her language and began to speak: "First of all, our answer to the prosecution's accusation is a firm denial!"

"The attack on the Oriental Star was revealed two years ago, and the assailant has already pleaded guilty. However, Captain Basharo's so-called guilty plea is completely unclear whether he has been threatened. The impartiality is questionable!"

"As for the captain of the Oriental Star, whether his so-called testimony video is real also needs to be questioned, because he himself was not present, and we cannot determine whether the video was synthesized, or whether he was coerced by others. testified."

"If the prosecution or the court cannot eliminate this doubt, then the validity and authenticity of the testimony will not be confirmed. It is unfair to us to use such uncertain testimony to testify against our party!"

"To sum up, if the prosecution uses unverified and dubious evidence to slander our parties, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Lin and Mr. Wu, as the principal culprits, is this a matter of so-called justice?"

When Laura said this, she paused for a while, and then looked at the court with piercing eyes again.

"Justice is divided into two types, procedural justice and result justice, and result justice is idealism and does not apply to courts. For the law, the result is important, but the process of obtaining the result is also very important!"

"I hope that the court can guarantee the justice of the procedure, and can testify against our party with proven evidence whose authenticity can be guaranteed. We firmly deny all other allegations, which are all slanderous words. !"

Laura's speech ends.

This made Lin Xiangtian give a thumbs up secretly.

Although this little girl lost to Zhang Wei once, her speech just now is enough to testify to her level.

Anyway, of the two prisoners who pleaded guilty, Bashaluo is dead, and the captain is still abroad.

The court does not know whether their testimony was provided voluntarily, so it is possible that Zhang Tianlong was accused of being threatened.

It would be absolutely unfair to the defense if the court cannot rule this out and use such evidence to convict the three of them.

And to prove this point, unless Bashaluo can be revived, or the captain really comes to the Eastern Capital, anyway, it will not be something that can be done immediately.

"Well, Lawyer Laura is right. Compared with the justice of the result, what the court should guarantee is procedural justice."

"As for whether the so-called result is just, it depends on the judgment of the jury. As a judge, I also agree with the statement of the defense."

Old Chen said, looking at Zhao Chunming, "Old Zhao, the defense's statement is very reasonable!"

"Then it seems that I can only add my former boss to the list of witnesses. After all, he killed Bashaluo with his own hands. If he can confess the mastermind behind the scenes, he can also prove the truth!"

Zhao Chunming was not afraid, and directly said another way.

"That's true. If Lao Hou can tell who ordered him to do this, it can indeed solve a lot of problems in this case, and the person who can commit murder and silence is definitely the main culprit!"

As Lao Chen spoke, he also directly struck the gavel.

"Well, after Captain Lao arrives in Dongfangdu next week, I will arrange the next pre-trial based on the validity of his testimony!"

The gavel fell, and the next process was finalized.

"Now, you can disband!"

After saying that, Lao Chen left the table directly.

Both the prosecution and the defense naturally began to say goodbye.

Zhao Chunming was alone. After packing his things, he nodded to Zhang Wei and Xiao Baihe, and then left straight away.

On the defense side, there were a lot of people. After preparing, Zhang Tianlong, Lin Xiangtian and Wu Yuanzong surrounded and left.

But when they got near the hearing booth, Zhang Wei blocked their way.

"Zhang Tianlong, you don't think about killing people to silence your mouth now, are you? Be careful, if you do this kind of thing a lot, it's inevitable that you will show your feet!"

"Zhang Wei, I, Zhang Tianlong, act openly and aboveboard. Do you think these false accusations can cause me trouble?"

"Whether it's a false accusation or not, I think you guys know better than me, but I really admire you. You can still pretend to be serious after all this. I'm going to be overwhelmed by your acting skills."

Zhang Wei said, looking at Laura: "Lawyer Laura, you have to be careful, it's easy to capsize with such a person, especially as lawyers, we must be careful to break the law!"

"Thank you, Attorney Zhang, for your concern, but I am a defense lawyer, and I must provide the best legal advice for my client!" Laura retorted, not liking Zhang Wei at all.

"But the premise of this legal advice is not to break the law, especially if you know the truth, it is even more impossible to know the law and break the law. I hope you understand this bottom line!"

Having said that, Zhang Wei gave way to let Zhang Tianlong and his party pass.

"Several, walk slowly!"

Zhang Tianlong and his party left, but before they left, they looked at Zhang Wei very unkindly.

This kid has been looking for trouble for them, and they still complain about him, which makes people crazy.

It wasn't until Zhang Tianlong and his party walked out of the court and disappeared into the aisle that Zhang Wei looked away.

"Old Xiao is gone, let's go back!"

"You said, will they really wait?"

Xiao Baihe and Zhang Wei walked side by side, and pointed to the direction where Zhang Tianlong and others left.

As a former criminal prosecutor, she seemed to be able to detect some problems.

"If they can honestly wait for the witnesses to come, they will not be members of the Five Families. When they have the cards in their hands, no one will choose to sit and wait for death!"

"So, the captain is in danger?"

"No, the captain is not in danger."

Zhang Wei looked confident, which made Xiao Baihe feel impossible.

"How do you know, if I were Zhang Tianlong, I would definitely not let the captain go to Dongfangdu?"

"Yes, I would do the same, but whether the captain is in danger or not is not up to Zhang Tianlong, but to me, Zhang Wei!"

Zhang Wei smiled confidently again: "Look at Bashaluo, I only want him to die. When I don't want him to die, will Zhang Tianlong's methods work?"

"this……"

Xiao Baihe secretly said that it was true. I heard that the team transporting Bashaluo was attacked twice, and there were even ghosts. As a result, Bashaluo was able to safely reach the headquarters of the local prosecutor.

In the same way, if Captain Lao really had to go to court alive, he probably wouldn't have died.

For some reason, seeing Zhang Wei's confident appearance, Xiao Baihe felt a little confidence for no reason.

It seems that the boy next to him has been able to do nothing since he came back.

"Old Xiao, why do you look at me like this, I feel embarrassed?"

"Where...how can there be..."

When Xiao Baihe heard this, her face flushed slightly, and she became incoherent.

"Hey, I know there is a good drink shop nearby, how about we have a cup of afternoon tea together?"

Saying that, Zhang Wei blinked at Xiao Baihe, looking forward to it.

"Since you want to drink, let me go with you."

"Okay~"

The two walked out of the court together, and then went to enjoy afternoon tea.

...

On the other side, Jincheng Law Firm.

"Lawyer Laura, I leave this case to you!"

"Mr. Lin, don't worry, there are Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wu. I will do my best!"

"Then, the few of us still need to discuss some things, so please go back and prepare first. If you really want to pre-trial next time, please worry about it!"

Laura glanced at Zhang Tianlong and Wu Yuanzong who were silent, and could only nod in response: "Boss Lin, then I'm leaving!"

After Laura left, the three of Zhang Tianlong got together again.

"That Captain Lao is a scourge. Although I don't know why, he was found and successfully instigated a rebellion, but if he returns to Dongfang Capital, it will definitely be detrimental to us!"

Lin Xiangtian said, looking at Zhang Tianlong.

You are the boss, you make up your mind.

"He must die!"

Zhang Tianlong didn't talk nonsense, this guy is a scourge alive and must be dealt with!

"Then, let our people do it. As long as he can't reach Dongfang Capital, he doesn't need to worry about anything!"

Lin Xiangtian and Wu Yuanzong also nodded in agreement, saying that this matter must be done, and it must be done quickly.

"By the way, you also heard the motion just now. Zhao Chunming from the local prosecutor's headquarters said that Lao Hou should be listed as a witness. Although their father and son are already our abandoned children, what they know is also true. Quite a few!"

Then, Lin Xiangtian mentioned another matter, and made a gesture of wiping his neck: "Instead of letting them rebel, why don't we just settle it once and for all?"

Obviously, Lao Hou and Hou Liangliang and his son knew a lot of things. If they really confessed, it would be enough to cause trouble for the three of them.

"This is a bit difficult, because I know that since Bashaluo's death, the investigation department's protection for Lao Hou has definitely increased by more than one level, and ordinary killers can't get close to him!"

"Then what to do?"

"This matter... you can wait, I have a plan..."

Zhang Tianlong thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of something.

"what's the plan?"

"Even if it is waste, it has the value of waste, so why don't we use these waste?"

As Zhang Tianlong said, he had a plan in mind.

...

that night.

The detention room of the investigation department is under strict defense.

Lao Hou and Hou Liangliang, father and son, were imprisoned here.

Compared with the proud spring breeze two years ago, Hou Liangliang is now full of decadence.

Because he knew that he and his father were completely ruined, and there was no chance of going out again.

Killing witnesses and destroying evidence are all things that people steal and get, and there is no escape.

They are still prosecutors, knowing the law and breaking the law, the crime is aggravated!

Even a few years in prison is enough for them to bear.

After all, most of the people in the prison may have been sent in by them.

You said that if they went in, wouldn't it be like sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger, and they don't know how they died?

"Father, you are talking, why did we fall?"

Hou Liangliang still couldn't accept this fact, with a look of unwillingness on his face.

"I didn't inject the poison in my hand at that time. Bashaluo's death has nothing to do with me!"

Lao Hou was also depressed at the moment, because he was about to kill Bashaluo, but he didn't take action.

So from a legal point of view, he was hiding dangerous items, but he did not commit any crimes, only the intention to commit a crime.

But the investigation department added Bashaluo's death to his head, and he couldn't argue with it.

The investigation department just asked, if you didn't kill Bashaluo, then why did you appear there with the syringe and poison in your hand?

Lao Hou spread his hands together, naturally he couldn't answer.

It's impossible to tell the truth, right?

In that case, Zhang Tianlong, the mastermind behind the scenes, would not let them go.

Therefore, at this moment, for Lao Hou and his son, there is really no solution.

But at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps.

Outside the heavily guarded detention room, two officers from the investigation department came.

"Two prosecutors, your dinner is here!"

When it was time for the meal, the officers of the Investigation Section naturally came to deliver the meal.

The dinner wasn't a big one, but there were three dishes and one soup, but this bowl of rice was tasteless in the mouths of the father and son.

Because they are all in this situation, how can they still eat.

"This shows something, such a toothache?"

Suddenly, Hou Liangliang took out something from the rice with a depressed expression on his face.

"Wait, that's paper!"

Seeing this, Lao Hou's expression froze, and then he stood up suddenly, blocking the camera behind him with his back.

Then he changed his position and sat down, with his back to the camera, while taking the white mass from his son.

It was indeed a piece of paper, and it was mixed in with the rice.

Apparently someone wanted to summon them.

Lao Hou pretended to be eating, carefully opened the paper, and roughly read the contents inside.

"Dad, on this paper..." Hou Liangliang became excited when he saw this.

"Hush!"

But Lao Hou made a silent gesture, and glanced outside the detention room. The people in the investigation department didn't seem to notice the strangeness inside.

"Keep your voice down, don't you want to expose yourself!"

Lao Hou warned his son, and then read the contents of the paper again, over and over again.

After confirming that the content above could be recited verbatim, he ate the note in one gulp.

Seeing this, Hou Liangliang quickly lowered his voice: "Dad, what was written on that piece of paper?"

"It's the news from Chairman Zhang, he asked us to do one thing!"

"What's up?"

"Let us push all of this to Zhang Wei, it was Zhang Wei who asked us to destroy Basara!"

"ha?"

Hearing the news, Hou Liangliang was stunned.

That's okay too?

"No, didn't Bashaluo testify against Chairman Zhang? This is not what Zhang Wei wanted. Why did he kill Bashaluo's mouth?"

"That's why, this time, it's a real blame game. Bashaluo gave these testimony under threat, and after the testimony was finished, he lost his use value, and Zhang Wei ordered him to silence him."

"But what about my attempt to destroy the evidence?"

"This is where Zhang Wei is smart. He asked you to destroy the evidence so that Chairman Zhang could be blamed, because who would benefit the most if we did this? Of course, Chairman Zhang. This is Zhang Wei's attempt to blame Chairman Zhang. It's just Chairman Zhang's plan!"

Laohou said, with a cold look in his eyes: "The person who threatened Bashaluo was Zhang Wei. He was afraid that Bashaluo would tell the truth of being threatened after he finished his testimony, so he simply silenced it, and then asked you to put on a fake face to destroy the evidence." Look, use this to blame Chairman Zhang!"

"After all, you were just trying to destroy the evidence, you didn't really destroy it, so it can be said that Zhang Wei ordered it!"

Hou Liangliang felt that this was a bit forced, but he didn't have anything to say for a while.

But he was a little surprised, why Zhang Wei could command himself and let himself take risks with his career, it doesn't make sense?

But since his father said so, he could only do as he said.

It's all Zhang Wei's fault anyway!

Ok, deal!
