Chapter 687 Public Opinion Pressure? There Is a Ghost?

City Council, Speaker's Office.

Although as a defendant in the public prosecution case, Zhang Tianlong was restricted from traveling, but his work as the mayor of the city cannot be delayed.

So he can still sit in his office, but besides his assistant at the door, there are also people from the investigation department who are watching him in case he does anything that does not cooperate with the judicial process.

At this moment, he received an emergency call.

"What, Wang Lisha was taken away for investigation!"

"The case more than two years ago, Cheng Lisha's suicide case, can this case be reopened?"

"What the hell, and the video?"

Zhang Tianlong couldn't believe it, and turned on the computer quickly.

He doesn't even need to take the initiative to search, just click on the top three hot searches, and he will be able to see hot information with videos.

Zhang Tianlong quickly finished watching the video, and then his face darkened.

"I see, the hearing will be held this afternoon, so be it!"

He hung up the phone, and then watched the video again and again more than three times.

"Fortunately, the pixels of the video are not high enough, it should be taken by the travel recorder of the vehicle parked across the street, but how could this video be so coincidental..."

He finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that his face could not be seen clearly in the video due to the low resolution.

But then, he seemed to think of something again, with a worried face on his face.

Because at this critical point in time, the appearance of this video was too coincidental.

Moreover, who posted this video, and what is the purpose of the other party?

Zhang Tianlong's first suspect was Zhang Wei.

Only this kid can give you a hand suddenly.

Zhang Wei can often catch opponents by surprise with key evidence, this is something Zhang Tianlong knows.

But what's the point of doing this, this video is not an ironclad proof.

"What's the use of posting this video? At most, it's just for public opinion... Wait, public opinion!"

Zhang Tianlong finally found out that something was wrong!

Because after this video appeared, the top ten most searched content has changed!

Originally last night, relying on the "Lisa Interview" program, he had a certain advantage in public opinion.

Most of the top ten most searched are for Zhang Tianlong.

He also made a lot of preparations, and even hired Internet trolls and internet trolls. Once someone posted a comment that was unfavorable to him under the hot search, these trolls would attack the other party or brush it off with more positive comments. Bad review.

Unexpectedly, the enemy did not follow the routine and did not attack these hot searches at all, but opened another hot search that was even more explosive.

Cheng Lisha's death is related to Zhang Tianlong, and the murderer may even be Wang Lisha and Zhang Tianlong!

Now, the sailors and trolls he hired are completely useless.

Internet public opinion is also dominated by people who eat melons. Everyone wants to know the answer, whether Cheng Lisha's death was caused by Wang Lisha and Zhang Tianlong.

And because Wang Lisha was taken away by the investigation department, she couldn't respond directly to this matter.

As another party involved, Zhang Tianlong had to stand up,

"No, you can't stand up!"

But soon, he smelled a conspiracy.

Why did he stand up? This matter should have nothing to do with him.

If he really ends up, wouldn't it make people think that you have a ghost in your heart and are eager to get rid of it?

If you really didn't do it, what are you doing, you can't sit still so soon?

Isn't this more realistic, isn't it possible that he is the murderer?

And arguing with others on the Internet, because he has to deal with one thing, the feeling of being led by the nose makes him very uncomfortable!

He, Zhang Tianlong, is the mayor of the city, with a distinguished status, why should he go online with a group of netizens?

Isn't this a price drop?

Moreover, the hearing in the afternoon is coming, he has to prepare this, other things are not important at all!

Thinking of this, Zhang Tianlong felt that he couldn't stand up, otherwise it would be easy to be misunderstood.

However, he can't just let the hot search hang on it.

Zhang Tianlong is a person of status, and he also has an assistant. Since it is not convenient for him to come forward, he can let the assistant do the work.

"Go, contact the person in charge of Vbo, remove all the hot searches about me, and give them a word of advice, let them take care of themselves!"

"yes!"

He directly contacted his subordinates by phone, and after giving some instructions, let the person in charge of V blog handle it.

But soon, the call back came.

"Chairman Zhang, I..."

"What's wrong?"

Hearing the hesitation of his assistant, he suddenly felt bad.

"Chairman Zhang, I just contacted the person in charge of V Bo, and he said..."

"What did he say, why did he stammer?"

"He said he couldn't withdraw..."

"What, I can't withdraw!"

This time, Zhang Tianlong's voice raised dozens of decibels, and his tone became sharper.

who is he?

He is the mayor of Dongfangdu!

A mere online community company dared to disobey his orders!

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Is it Zhang Tianlong who can't lift the knife anymore, or do people think he can't lift the knife anymore?

"How did they explain it?"

"They said...they said Chairman Zhang, now he can't protect himself...don't interfere with their company's daily operations..."

"What, how dare they do this!"

Zhang Tianlong roared and threw the phone out of his hand.

grass!

Thousands of words, finally turned into a foul language.

How unreasonable!

It just doesn't make sense.

A mere v-blogging company dares not to give him the face of the mayor of the city, it is simply...

"Wait, how do they know I'm in trouble now?"

"Who gave them the guts to disobey my orders?"

"A mere company has the confidence to dare to fight against me. How can there be no other forces intervening here?"

In Zhang Tianlong's mind, a name flashed for the first time.

Zhang Wei!

It must be this kid!

He doesn't even need to think, or even guess, he can be 100% sure that Zhang Wei must be operating in it.

In fact it is.

V Bo is a company that is notoriously soft-boned, and everyone in the leadership pays attention to the "kneeling spirit".

Listen to whoever is strong, and let go of whoever is weak.

But this time, Zhang Tianlong was impeached by the city council internally and prosecuted by the local prosecutor's headquarters, and now he is accused of murder.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like it is going to be finished.

Even without Zhang Wei's advance greeting on Vbo at this time, they can feel that Zhang Tianlong may really not be able to sit in the position of speaker.

A speaker who is about to abdicate, what is there to be afraid of?

The person in charge is not a fool, you are about to be impeached, how dare you force yourself here?

Do you really think that our V blog is easy to bully?

Therefore, in the face of Zhang Tianlong's "unreasonable demands", V Bo's response was rarely "tough".

It's a pity that this toughness is still the confidence given by others.

After thinking about this, although Zhang Tianlong was angry, he couldn't get angry.

hours later.

Jincheng Group, top office.

"How dare they, how dare they..."

Zhang Tianlong was venting his dissatisfaction towards Lin Xiangtian and Wu Yuanzong.

"Okay, okay, it's useless for you to get angry, then Wang Lisha has been taken away, what else can I do..."

Lin Xiangtian spread his hands and signaled you not to waste your saliva, this will not change the fact.

"Also, you should think about why the investigation department dared to touch your people!"

Everyone knows that Wang Lisha has energy behind her, but the fact that the investigation department dares to take action against Wang Lisha already shows the problem.

"Zhang Wei, it must be this kid's fault!"

In Zhang Tianlong's eyes, gloom and fierceness alternated.

For Zhang Wei, he now hates it to the bone.

2 years ago, that kid should have died, but why didn't he die!

Not only did that kid not die, he even gave him such a big problem, it was simply...

"Zhang Tianlong, it's useless to be anxious now. The formal hearing will start in the afternoon. We have to discuss tactics quickly!"

Lin Xiangtian said, pointing to the door.

Laura has been waiting for us outside!

"Okay, let Lawyer Laura come in!"

Zhang Tianlong was helpless, but he could also distinguish between priorities, so he could only wave his hand to signal for people to come in.

Outside the office, the secretary opened the door for Laura.

"Mr. Zhang, your internet attention seems to have increased several levels this morning?"

This is obviously a set of high emotional intelligence statements.

Low EQ: The Internet is full of people who scold you, hack you, and make jokes about you.

When Zhang Tianlong heard this joke, the corners of Zhang Tianlong's mouth rose and fell slightly.

"Three, although I know that as a lawyer, it's not good to ask directly like this, but I still want to ask you, what happened on the Oriental Star two years ago?"

"I'm your defense lawyer. I need to clarify some details. Otherwise, after the trial, Captain Lao's testimony may make us very passive. I need to know how to refute him!"

Laura looked at the three people in front of her with a slightly dignified tone.

"this……"

After Lin Xiangtian and Wu Yuanzong looked at each other, they all looked at Zhang Tianlong.

We can't be the master in this matter, you Zhang Tianlong has to make the decision yourself!

"Lawyer Laura, what's the news going on outside?"

"Outside, it seems that Chairman Zhang is the mastermind. You colluded with the pirate captain Bashaluo on the Oriental Star 2 years ago to illegally detain, threaten, and even massacre the designated targets on the Eastern Star... ..."

Hearing what Laura said, Zhang Tianlong secretly called a good guy.

"If... I mean, if, these are all right, then what should we do?"

Laura blinked in surprise, then quickly took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"If these rumors spread on the Internet have a certain degree of authenticity, then we will fall into a very passive situation, because it is very difficult to refute the truth with some content out of nothing. The fabricated illusion will never be more real than the truth. Intuitive, and only the truth can truly mobilize the emotions of the jury, so..."

So it's very difficult. This is the second half of the sentence that Laura didn't intend to say.

"Lawyer Laura, can I trust you?" Zhang Tianlong stared at the person in front of him.

"this……"

Laura wanted to answer "yes" subconsciously, but she thought of something and didn't answer right away.

She pondered for a moment, and then said: "Chairman Zhang, if I ask you to trust me, you must have some scruples, because after all, it is such a big matter, I am just an outsider to you, in fact, to Dongfang In other words, I am also an outsider in various senses..."

"However, what I want to explain is that my father taught me since I was a child that our Campbell family values ​​honor, and I, Laura, don't want to lose to an ordinary person!"

Laura said, staring at Zhang Tianlong with piercing eyes: "Our Campbell family is a hereditary nobleman in our country. My grandfather Sean Campbell is a royal counselor who is loyal to the royal family. My father even founded William International. Grow it to such a size!"

"So, I, who inherited the name of the Campbell family, absolutely cannot let myself lose to an ordinary person. I must protect my honor and completely defeat them!"

This speech contains strong and sincere feelings, as well as the sense of family honor that makes people feel proud.

Zhang Tianlong also had to admit that Laura's rhetoric really convinced him.

"Lawyer Laura, I'm relieved to hear you say that!"

Zhang Tianlong knew that Laura was a trustworthy person, because the opponent's purpose did not conflict with his own, and the opponent wanted to win, and they naturally wanted to win too!

In order for Zhang Tianlong to get rid of the crime, and Laura for the honor of the family, they must win!

"Lawyer Laura, if this case had to confront the truth, would you still be on our side?"

"Of course, I only know that the results are written by the winners. As long as we win, then what we say is the truth!"

Even Zhang Tianlong had to admit that this answer was very good.

"Yes, I like this answer, it really wins my heart!"

After pondering for a while, Zhang Tianlong finally chose to tell the truth: "Actually, 2 years ago, I also planned to plan. I thought of that plan. It was actually Duanmu Heizu who really planned to make a massacre, but what he didn't expect was that, Bashaluo is greedy enough, and the price I can offer is much higher than him, so at that time..."

Hearing Zhang Tianlong tell the plan, Laura's eyes became a little dignified.

After all, what was dragged out this time was a real crime.

...

That afternoon.

municipal court.

The media had already swarmed here, besieging the entrance of the city court, the entrance of the criminal court and other places, preparing to do interviews on a short-term basis.

"Look, it's Chairman Zhang and the others!"

Soon, the large team suddenly rushed to a certain direction.

"Chairman Zhang, may I ask if what the prosecution said is true?"

"Two years ago, you led the attack on the Oriental Star?"

"Cooperate with pirates and create massacres, are you trying to realize your own ambitions?"

"Chairman Zhang, we saw a video this morning. Is it you?"

"More than two years ago, you killed Cheng Lisha, and then supported Wang Lisha to take over?"

"I've always heard that Cheng Lisha, the former first sister in the media industry, has a backer behind her. Is that backer you?"

A group of people can't wait to put the microphone in the mouth of the person in front of them, and the questions are like a cannonball.

Hearing these questions, Zhang Tianlong stopped and frowned.

After thinking for a while, he replied loudly: "I have nothing to explain, this is all a slander against me!"

"I, Zhang Tianlong, as the chairman of the city council, act upright and sit upright. I only believe in one fact. Those who clean up clean up themselves. These so-called rumors and slanders are nothing but public opinion attacks led by people with ulterior motives! "

"These things cannot defeat me, Zhang Tianlong, because I am still the speaker of the city council, and everything I do is for the sake of Dongfang Capital, and I have absolutely no selfish intentions!"

This speech is awe-inspiring!

It made the surrounding media reporters all stunned on the spot, thinking that "Chairman Zhang must have been slandered" in his heart.

"I'm sorry, give me a break, we are about to enter the venue!"

Lin Xiangtian also spoke, and then asked the bodyguards of Jincheng Group to open the way.

But under the cover of a group of black-clothed bodyguards, they pushed through the crowd and squeezed into the city court.

Entrance to the Criminal Court.

Zhang Tianlong and his party are mighty.

As a result, when they were at the door, they happened to meet Zhang Wei and his party who also entered the venue.

Next to Zhang Wei were Xiao Baihe and Xia Qianyue, and behind him stood Jessica, Zhao Xiaoxiao and Mo Yuzhu, as well as representatives of Ace Law Firm: Tie Ruyun, Lin Ruonan, Li Yueqin...and Lin Yumeng.

Seeing his daughter in the opposite team, Lin Xiangtian became impatient and stared at her viciously.

Lin Yumeng shivered subconsciously, and then shrank into the crowd.

"Zhang Wei..."

Lin Xiangtian gritted his teeth.

"President Lin, Chairman Zhang, Mr. Wu, and Lawyer Laura, are you all safe?"

"Zhang Wei, you brought so many people?"

Zhang Tianlong swept past Zhang Wei and snorted coldly.

"Yeah, you brought a lot of people to the battlefield before, if I don't bring some people here, wouldn't it be a weak aura?"

Zhang Wei also swept behind the three of Zhang Tianlong. The Jincheng Group's people were mighty, and the number was not weaker than his own.

Both parties understand that in a formal hearing, whichever side has the most people can affect the direction of the hearing.

So everyone brought a lot of people to help.

"Zhang Wei, don't even think about defeating us, justice is on our side!"

"Zhang Tianlong, you want to say that justice is on the side with more advantages, right, but how can you be sure that you will have an advantage over me?"

"I am the mayor of Dongfang Capital, and our Zhang family is the head of the five major families. I don't believe that you, a little devil, can shake our position!"

"Some things, don't take them for granted."

As Zhang Wei said, his eyes skipped over the three of Zhang Tianlong, and locked on a person in the Jincheng Group team behind Lin Xiangtian.

Zhang Tianlong immediately noticed Zhang Wei's gaze, and the moment he turned his head, he seemed to see the focus of Zhang Wei's gaze.

"Let's go in, don't keep Lao Zhao waiting!"

As Zhang Wei said, people from an ace law firm rushed into the hearing booth of the criminal court.

"Fatty Lin, Zhang Wei should be acquainted with you in your law firm, right?"

Zhang Tianlong, on the other hand, did not act immediately, but leaned into Lin Xiangtian's ear and whispered something.

"Acquaintances, haven't you seen them all? Didn't all the acquaintances of that kid come to the past?"

Lin Xiangtian muttered, his tone full of complaints: "Even my lovely daughter was abducted by that kid!"

"you sure?"

"this……"

Lin Xiangtian glanced back at the team, as if thinking of something.

"Zhang Tianlong, you don't mean to say that there is a ghost on our side..."

"At this moment, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case..."

Yes, not afraid of 10,000, just in case!

What if there really was a traitor among them?
