Chapter 412: Chapter 299: The Shocked Supreme Court!
Zhao Yi felt that his early life was quite unfortunate, unable to fulfill his dreams, but looking at it now, the first half wasn’t very unlucky, the days were even quite enjoyable.
But the latter half...
He vowed, even at seventy, or even eighty or ninety, the moment before he died of old age, he would never forget this scene!!!
"Presenting a severed head as evidence? What kind of joke is this!"
Zhao Yi looked at the scene before him, feeling suffocated, his mind buzzing.
He was responsible for handling the human experiment case in Qingshi City and had hoped to slack off a bit while attending meetings in Upper City, but who could have imagined....
How did he bump into this mess!?
"This is the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court!!!"
Zhao Yi’s mind roared, and Wang Yao beside him was no different.
He glanced at Liu Jinshui, who appeared perfectly fine a moment ago, suddenly bursting out with such a surprise, his mind exploding, rendering him completely dumbfounded.
At this moment, it was as if Wang Yao’s brain was filled with a beehive, surrounded by a roar of noise!
Only a few brief words remained in his mind.
Severed head lawsuit...
Upper City...
Supreme Court...
The instant these words combined, Wang Yao was covered in goosebumps all over.
The entire hall erupted instantly.
"Who is this? Isn’t that head a prop!? Is it a real person!?"
"I saw it, I was right beside it earlier, damn it, that’s not a prop, it’s a real corpse, with marks where the neck was severed!!!"
"Who is this person!? Crazy, this is the Supreme Court!"
"Did he say he wanted to file a case? Sue someone? Wait, wasn’t there a corpse lawsuit case in Hanhai City back in 2004!?"
"I vaguely remember... is this person suing too!?"
"...."
The chaotic noise quickly spread and echoed within the hall, as everyone was shocked, their cameras promptly raised up.
Wang Yao saw this scene, and his eyes instantly turned crimson.
Damn.
They had just finished a press conference!
The biggest journalists nationwide were gathered here, totaling dozens, far different from before!
"Bailiffs, where are the bailiffs!?"
Wang Yao anxiously shouted while turning his head.
The bailiffs beside him were also extremely embarrassed, unsure whether Liu Jinshui posed a threat to others, hesitating to act rashly, only maintaining that no one approached him.
Meanwhile, Liu Jinshui still stood at the reception, noticing the commotion around him, resembling a panic-stricken rabbit, continuously scanning his surroundings.
Seeing this, the bailiffs grew even more tense.
The standoff between the two sides lasted for ten minutes.
Until...
"File a case for him!"
Suddenly, Wang Chao spoke, coming back to his senses from the shock.
Honestly, he didn’t quite understand why the friend who chatted amicably on the train suddenly pulled out a head to frighten people upon reaching Upper City.
But he clearly understood the words from the other person’s mouth.
File a case.
"File a case for him!" Wang Chao reminded.
File a...case.
Oh, right, file a case!
Wang Yao’s numb mind came to realization, immediately pushing through the crowd to face Liu Jinshui.
"Case filing should go to the filing court, this is the reception hall, there’s no way to file a case here!"
"Follow me, I’ll help you file a case!!!"
His loud voice instantly reached Liu Jinshui’s ears.
Hearing this voice, Liu Jinshui’s pressure eased slightly, but looking around, the string in his heart grew tighter, uncontrollably distorting his face:
"Who are you!?"
"I don’t believe, I don’t believe you, my hand was gone just like that before!"
As he spoke.
Liu Jinshui grabbed his severed, already rotten hand, body constantly trembling, visibly extremely agitated.
Before?
His hand was gone just like that before!?
These words carried immense information, and the surrounding journalists instantly thought of countless things.
Wang Yao naturally did too, immediately feeling a headache, solemnly saying: "I am the head of the criminal court here!"
"There are dozens of journalists around us, I wouldn’t deceive you in front of journalists!!!"
Court head...
Upon hearing.
Liu Jinshui was stunned, slowly lowering his arm grasping the severed hand.
The head of the court negotiating with him personally... honestly, it was quite overqualified for him.
And considering there are dozens of journalists around... indeed, no need to deceive him, as in comparison with the other’s career path, Liu Jinshui was rather insignificant in front of him.
"Where...where is the filing court...." Liu Jinshui fell silent, his eye rims suddenly reddening, murmuring softly.
Upon hearing.
Wang Yao finally let out a sigh of relief.
He knew that this negotiation had concluded decently, only...
Looking at the surrounding journalists, Wang Yao instantly felt a headache.
Considering the events that had just happened... he dared to guarantee... this could spread throughout the entire Eastern Country in no time!!!
At this time, others at the Supreme Court also hurriedly arrived at the scene, feeling utterly shocked as they looked at the head in the hall.
"Old Wang, what’s the situation here!?"
"Why is there a corpse!?"
Beside him, Wang Chao explained on behalf of his father, saying: "Someone presented a severed head to file a case, seems like it led to a fatal incident, and they can’t even file a case...."
With these simple words.
The surrounding people instantly felt their scalp tingling.
It was Wang Yao...
Seeing Wang Chao, his face turned black, a nameless fire rose in his heart.
It was his damn good son who brought the person in!!!
Where couldn’t he take him? The prosecutor’s office was fine, and the police station would do too.
Even the Middle Court or grassroots court would work.
All these could file the case and address the other party’s demands!!!
But against all odds...
Picked the biggest one, the Supreme Court!
Right after a press conference, when all the reporters gather in the hall!
"Get out!"
Wang Yao whispered angrily.
"I’ll settle accounts with you later!!!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Chao shrank his neck, showing a sheepish smile.
Wang Yao looked at the surrounding reporters, feeling a wave of exhaustion.
"I’ll take the people to file the case first, you guys...well, handle these reporters."
Wang Yao shook his head as he spoke and then stepped forward to prepare to file the case.
Just as he was about to take a step... he suddenly remembered something and spoke again:
"By the way."
"Judge Zhao, stay."
At this moment, Zhao Yi, who was hiding behind the crowd and ready to leave, stopped in his tracks.
Zhao Yi: ...
"Um... alright."
"Yes."
Zhao Yi showed a uniquely bitter expression on his face.
Wang Yao immediately took Liu Jinshui to the case filing court.
He didn’t make things difficult for the other party; the biggest thing now should be to solve their demands, otherwise the outside public opinion, even if everyone spits, could drown Wang Yao!
As for after filing the case...
Liu Jinshui was first placed in the Supreme Court’s reception room.
Zhang Shan’s severed hand was properly preserved in the morgue.
As for the basic information about the case...
Wang Yao also asked about it.
It turned out to be related to Zhengyang City in Nanhai Province!
Upon getting the answer, Wang Yao felt utterly terrible.
"Zhengyang City is not Upper City; the case happened locally, theoretically it should be transferred back to Zhengyang City for handling."
"But according to what the other party said..."
6:30 PM.
Supreme Court office.
A few judges were frantically discussing, among them, Wang Yao spoke as above.
"The case involves people with close ties to Zhengyang Mining Company and Zhengyang City."
"The other party’s hand was deceived during an outing petition, thinking it was someone giving directions, but didn’t expect it was someone from the mining company who locked them in a small dark room and chopped off their hand..."
While speaking, Wang Yao smoked a cigarette with a troubled look.
Upon hearing this, the people around fell silent.
Liu Jinshui must have left quietly to petition, but even so, the mining company still detected it...
Who leaked the information inside...they could even guess who.
Surely, no few of them have clean slates!
"So."
"The overall case is: beneath Yangshan Gully’s Run Dong Weaving Plant, there is a mine targeted by a mining company."
"But due to the land reason, the factory director...which relates to the decapitated person’s information, refused to transfer the land, causing conflicts and leading to mining company killing people?"
"During which Liu Jinshui and others wanted to report, but Zhengyang City covered for each other, so... until now, coming to Upper City is finally filing the case?"
Upon hearing.
Everyone on the scene frowned.
"But... a million mining company having the highest offer of a million?"
Someone abruptly furrowed their brows and spoke:
"A price of one million... can rebuild a factory, why still refuse to sell?"
When Zhang Shan built the weaving plant, it didn’t cost much; theoretically this money could build a better factory.
But...
"Old Zhang, you probably haven’t been to Zhengyang City, have you?"
Wang Yao took a deep breath, speaking and slowly explaining:
"That place, having money but no power...is not a good thing."
Zhang Shan and Liu Jinshui know this clearly.
If they had a million in hand, the next day Zhengyang City would surely have a case of murder for money!
As for rebuilding a factory...
"Then this money can’t be retrieved." Wang Yao said.
No matter how good Zhu Haoyi’s surface talk is, he must have done many bridges-burning behind closed doors.
Even, possibly, right after Zhang Shan signed the contract, he would be killed and the money disappeared, that was all done by Zhu Haoyi!
And building a factory... that’s spending money that can’t be recovered in reality.
And reality is just as he described.
With Zhang Shan’s family dead, the money disappeared too.
"Is Zhengyang City really this chaotic!?" That Judge Zhang furrowed his brows.
To this, Wang Yao’s words were...
"Far worse than imagine."
As the sentence fell, everyone on the scene instantly sank into dead silence.
Until...
"What is the current status of outside public opinion?"
In a daze, the person on the main seat started asking.
Taking a head to file a complaint, still at the Supreme Court... a little thought could tell just how explosive it is!
"Currently there’s no reaction yet, most likely by tomorrow morning after newspaper sales, the public opinion will ignite." Someone spoke.
Upon hearing this, everyone was not happy, but rather worried.
The longer the time, the sharper those reporters write their articles!
Until...
"Ignoring the case’s jurisdiction for the time being."
"Let’s talk about public opinion first."
"Judge Zhao, do you have any experience to cope with this aspect?"
Wang Yao shifted his gaze to Zhao Yi, who had been silent, trying to muddle through.
"If you do..."
"It wouldn’t hurt to exchange some ideas."
Zhao Yi: ...
