Chapter 2097 You Hit Yours, I Hit Mine
The kidnapping of Song Jinning and the bombing of Gu Nianzhi happened during the Christmas Eve dinner at the Sheraton Hotel on Christmas Eve last year.
That night, Huo Shaoheng, Lu Yuan, and Huo Guanchen almost cooperated, and with the support of Admiral Ji, Guo Huining and Kevin were arrested.
Deputy Director Jia was shot dead on the spot by Lu Yuan.
And now it's the first day of the new year.
More than two months have passed, and the date of Kevin and Guo Huining's appearance in court has been pushed back and forth again and again, even Gu Nianzhi can't wait.
Huo Shaoheng had no expression on his face, and said calmly: "This case is more complicated because foreigners are involved."
"Currently, Kevin's lawyer is fighting a jurisdictional lawsuit, demanding that Kevin be extradited back to the United States for trial."
"He's dreaming!" Gu Nianzhi blurted out and said angrily, "Jurisdiction? I really don't know what jurisdictional issues this lawsuit has!"
"Are they fighting for personal jurisdiction, territorial jurisdiction, or protective jurisdiction and universal jurisdiction? - Don't tell me that the United States also has long-arm jurisdiction over this criminal case!"
"If you stretch your arms too far, you will be chopped off!"
Gu Nianzhi rubbed the center of his brows, feeling a headache.
"Long-arm jurisdiction is generally used in civil cases related to the economy, and theoretically it is not applicable to criminal cases." Huo Shaoheng said calmly, "But the United States has sent a huge team of lawyers. The jurisdiction issues you just mentioned, Including long-arm jurisdiction, they are going to court one by one, and they want to extradite Kevin back to the United States."
"Kevin is an executive of Carlyle International Investment Co., Ltd., which is one of the best companies in the world. If he is really extradited to the United States, it will almost be equivalent to releasing him directly. ——Anyone with a brain will object." Gu Nianzhi disagrees say.
She took out her mobile phone and started searching online public opinion about the case.
But the Internet is calm, the discussion about this case in the past two months has been deleted, filtered, and now it has disappeared.
"Our country has not signed an extradition agreement with the United States." Lu Yuan wondered, "I haven't come back for eighteen years, and our country has signed an extradition agreement with the United States?"
"No, but in major criminal cases, there has been a cooperation agreement." Huo Shaoheng glanced at Gu Nianzhi, "This is the main appeal of the American legal team in the lawsuit. The previous ones are all pretense, delaying time."
Gu Nianzhi nodded, resting his chin thoughtfully and said: "For major criminal cases, China and the United States do have a cooperation agreement."
The case that Kevin committed was indeed a major criminal case.
She was very puzzled and said: "But Kevin committed a major criminal case on Chinese soil, but not on American soil. Why does the American lawyer team request extradition to the United States for trial?"
"...because they think Kevin will be treated unfairly in court-martial. Unless we agree to have the case heard in ordinary court."
Huo Shaoheng has been staring at this case for the past two months and knows the details very well.
"Why? Kevin tried to kidnap and hurt Ms. Song, and Ms. Song is an important protector of our military." Gu Nianzhi clenched his fists, his eyes sparkling, "not to mention that they carried weapons illegally and injured so many of our soldiers and officers!"
Lu Jin listened to it for a long time, now it has nothing to do with him, he is happy and relaxed.
When you relax, your mind becomes more flexible.
He sneered and said, "Girl, don't you think they're really arguing about legal issues?"
Gu Nianzhi: "...Isn't it? Didn't Master Huo just say that he has been fighting a jurisdiction lawsuit?"
The official case has not yet opened for trial, and now it is the preliminary preparations.
"If the U.S. even uses the 'long-arm jurisdiction' in this case, it will be almost nonsense. Let me tell you." Lu Jin rolled his eyes, "The U.S. over there dare not be so rampant."
"That's right, with you over there, our China's military strength has long been comparable to that of the United States. If it wants to control China again, it has to weigh its own weight.
" Gu Nianzhi boasted that the road is near.
Lu Jin nodded his head heavily, "My girl knows everything in detail, and her eyes are like torches! ——The US' long-arm jurisdiction" is actually power politics, which uses its own military power, economic and technological strength as a backing to apply its own domestic laws to other countries. citizens of the country."
Speaking of this, Gu Nianzhi sighed, leaned back on the sofa, and sat slumped in disregard of his image, "To put it bluntly, the effectiveness of the law is also maintained by violence. The law actually does not represent justice, but the ruling class will. This phenomenon is even more evident in the international community.”
"So as long as you have the strength, domestic law can not only govern foreigners, but also govern other countries."
"Otherwise, how can you say that the truth is within the range of the cannon? The law is the same." Lu Jin shrugged, "Wherever the US aircraft carrier group can fly, its long-arm jurisdiction can be enforced."
Gu Nianzhi didn't speak for a long while.
She pondered quietly, and had already begun to look at this problem from another angle.
If this channel doesn't work, she generally won't go into the corner and admit to death.
She will find another way.
As long as she can reach the set goal, she doesn't care which way she takes.
After a while, she asked Huo Shaoheng: "What did Admiral Ji, Speaker Long and Prime Minister Bai say?"
"It is not convenient for them to express their opinions for the time being, and everything will be handled by the military court."
Gu Nianzhi rubbed the fingers of his right hand subconsciously, and tapped lightly on the armrest of the sofa with his left hand. He inadvertently glanced down at the movements of his hands, and suddenly had an idea, and said with a smile: "Young Master Huo, tell me the truth first. , Is there someone at the top who is on the side of the United States?"
Huo Shaoheng nodded slightly, and did not deny it: "Indeed, otherwise, the American legal team would have dragged on for two months without actually having a trial."
"Not only high-level officials, but also a group of elites demand that our country obey the long-arm jurisdiction system of the United States, claiming that this is a norm established by the international community. Failure to obey is a breaker of the rules, and there is no spirit of contract."
Not only did Gu Nianzhi have a headache, but even his teeth were sore. He shook his head speechlessly and said, "Why don't you just throw what the President of the United States has done recently?"
"Without the spirit of contract, who does not have the spirit of contract? Besides, talking about contracts with European and American countries is either stupid or bad."
"Although a hundred years have passed since that period of humiliation, the essence of Western countries has not changed. They will not talk to other countries about the law unless they have run out of options."
Lu Jin nodded again and again, and highly praised Gu Nianzhi's words: "My girl is right! To deal with Western countries, if you really want to tell them the rules, you will be fooled. Will the rules they make be beneficial to you? Even if you use paramecium His single-cell thinking, he can't either!"
"Yes, my dad still sees it clearly."
Lu Jin and Gu Nianzhi, the father and daughter, are simply bragging about business.
Lu Yuan felt blind and almost wanted to stand up and leave.
Song Jinning didn't know much about this, but this case was related to her, and she refused to accept that Kevin and Guo Huining were brought to justice.
"...Is there really no other way? Just watch them procrastinate day by day?" Song Jinning frowned and said dissatisfied.
"Two months is enough to make Kevin 'sick'." Gu Nianzhi said quietly, "If there is no trial, believe it or not, Kevin will be 'seriously ill' and released on medical parole soon."
"This is the worst outcome." Huo Shaoheng said calmly, "If this is really the case, as soon as Kevin leaves the country, he will go abroad to enforce the law."
Gu Nianzhi laughed, and looked at Huo Shaoheng who was sitting at the top with shining eyes, "Young Master Huo, you are amazing! We can also exercise our 'long-arm jurisdiction'!"
But joking aside, everyone here knows how difficult and dangerous "law enforcement abroad" is.
Gu Nianzhi would not let Huo Shaoheng fall into that dangerous situation.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "Actually, there is a way."
"What method?" Huo Shaoheng, Lu Yuan, Song Jinning and Lu Jin asked in unison.
Gu Nianzhi tilted his head slightly, and said slyly: "The old man Taizu said that when fighting the United States, they should fight theirs, and we should fight ours."
"I think some people at the top have forgotten that a lawsuit involving international jurisdiction is not the same as domestic jurisdiction. It's not an either-or relationship."
"So it's not like if they fight a jurisdictional lawsuit, we won't be able to hear the case."
She clasped her palms together and said, "So, as long as the three giants agree, we can hold a trial at the same time. Isn't the American lawyer team fighting a jurisdiction lawsuit? Continue to fight with them. At the same time, we will officially hold a trial here to try Kevin and Guo Huining !"
