Chapter 414 Released in Court
The first trial was held, and the courtroom was so quiet that it seemed as if time had stopped. The white light was evenly shone, illuminating the serious faces of everyone. In this solemn and dignified place, everyone sat upright and listened quietly to Gu Qinming's statement and defense.
Gu Qinming was dressed in a neat lawyer's robe, with a calm expression, and his every move showed professionalism.
He took the lead in presenting evidence one by one directly pointing to the plaintiff, and clearly presented the photos and test reports in the video to everyone.
"Please look at this photo of the scene," Gu Qinming said as he pulled up photos on the projector and showed them to the jury and the judge. The photos showed leaves scattered around, candy wrappers, lollipops, and footprints in a random pattern.
Gu Qinming guided: "The scene is so chaotic, it's not difficult to see what just happened here." His voice was firm and clear, and it was especially distinct in the quiet courtroom.
Then, he pulled out the test report, his expression serious, “This test report is even more irrefutable evidence.
Pang Hu's shed cells were extracted from the lollipops at the scene, and the specific DNA detected was undoubtedly Pang Hu's. "He looked at the plaintiff's seat with a sharp gaze.
"Ms. Pang Juan, Pang Hu's aunt, is the head teacher of the senior class at Hongfujin Kindergarten.
She has always preferred this brand of lollipops, which can be confirmed by the opposing lawyer, Mr. Hu Zhiqiang. The evidence is irrefutable and the facts are beyond doubt!" Gu Qinming spoke forcefully, with confidence in her eyes.
Pang Juan was immediately dissatisfied, her eyes widened, she stared at Gu Qinming fiercely, and shouted angrily:
"I love this lollipop. How can these photos prove that Pang Hu bullied me a second time?" She clenched her fists, her body trembled slightly, and she was very emotional.
The judge frowned, picked up the hammer majestically, and slammed the table hard. The sound of "dong" echoed in the courtroom.
"Plaintiff, please be quiet! If you have different opinions, your attorney will defend you. Do not make any noise. Please respect the order of the court!"
Pang Juan eagerly cast her eyes towards Hu Zhiqiang, her eyes full of expectation. But Hu Zhiqiang was like an eggplant hit by frost, dejected, not daring to look at her, but just staring at the ground with his hands crossed weakly.
The judge spoke again, "Defendant's lawyer, please continue your defense."
Gu Qinming remained calm and nodded to the judge, then said, "Everyone, please look, this is the surveillance footage from the school infirmary."
In the video, Pang Hu's arm was dislocated and he looked in pain. The doctor was ready to treat him, but because he was uncooperative, he had no idea where to start, so he had to call Pang Juan.
After a while, Pang Juan rushed over. Seeing Pang Hu's appearance, she lost control of her emotions and asked the four children angrily: "Who did this?"
The children were so frightened that they trembled and answered in unison: "It was Jiang Shuo, it was Jiang Shuo who did it."
Afterwards, Pang Juan called Lin Yue to ask her to bring Jiang Shuo over. As soon as Jiang Shuo's small figure followed Lin Yue into the scene, Pang Juan was furious and stepped forward to slap him in the face.
Jiang Shuo lost his balance and fell to the ground. Lin Yue rushed to protect Jiang Shuo and argued with Pang Juan.
Pang Juan put her hands on her hips, glared angrily, and shouted loudly: "He beat my nephew like this, a slap in the face is too light!
Tell his father to come over. I'm going to make him lose everything and regret giving birth to this little bastard!" Her face flushed and veins popped up on her neck.
Lin Yue had no choice but to call Mu Xiaoji. Mu Xiaoji rushed over and saw Jiang Shuo's red and swollen face. He felt distressed and angry. He slowly approached Pang Juan and asked in a low voice, "Who hit you?"
Pang Juan showed no fear and said arrogantly: "I beat him, so what? Look at what your son did to my nephew!"
Mu Xiaoji's eyes were cold, and he asked again: "Did you hit him?"
Pang Juan became more and more arrogant: "I beat him lightly, it's up to you to decide how to compensate him! If you don't have 800,000 or 100,000, don't even think about leaving this house today!"
There was an uproar in the courtroom, and everyone was talking to each other, expressing shock and indignation at Pang Juan's behavior. Gu Qinming looked calm, as he knew that the direction of this lawsuit was becoming clearer.
Pang Juan stared at the stagnant picture on the big screen, her heart beating so fast that it seemed like it was going to burst through her chest.
She turned her head suddenly and looked at Hu Zhiqiang, her eyes full of anxiety and anger, and whispered, "Hu Zhiqiang, why don't you say something?
What did I call you here for?" Her voice was sharp and trembling, standing out in the silence of the courtroom.
Hu Zhiqiang slowly raised his head, his eyes full of helplessness and reluctance, but also a hint of determination.
He looked at Pang Juan, his lips moved, and his voice was low but everyone in the room could hear it: "Cousin, just admit your mistake! Stop struggling in vain! The evidence is irrefutable, we have no chance of winning."
These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Pang Juan's head with a buzzing sound. She opened her eyes wide, her eyeballs were about to burn with flames, and she couldn't believe her ears.
"Hu Zhiqiang, what did you say? Are you just going to let it go of Mu Xiaoji beating me? Aren't you going to give me an explanation?" Her voice was tearful and filled with deep resentment.
Hu Zhiqiang raised his hand slightly and signaled to Gu Qinming. Gu Qinming smiled confidently and pressed the video lightly, and it continued to play.
Pang Juan's eyes were like being attracted by a magnet, staring at the screen intently. On the screen, Mu Xiaoji's tall back was clearly visible. He just stood there quietly, without any movement to hit anyone.
Just as Pang Juan was staring intently, in the picture, her own body suddenly fell to the side without any warning, and hit the cabinet with a bang. She fell to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut, and there was no movement anymore.
"How could this be?" Pang Juan's voice was as soft as a mosquito's, filled with deep disbelief. She felt like she had fallen into a dark abyss and couldn't climb out.
Gu Qinming looked at Pang Juan and smiled contemptuously, his voice clear and powerful, echoing in the courtroom: "So, everyone's eyes are sharp.
In order to frame my client, Ms. Pang Juan carefully planned and deliberately bumped into the cabinet in an attempt to achieve her ulterior motives. "Every word she said was like a sharp knife, stabbing Pang Juan.
Pang Juan shook her head desperately as if she had been electrocuted, her hair was in a mess, and she shouted loudly: "It's not like this, it's not like this..."
Gradually, tears blurred her vision, and her voice became smaller and smaller, filled with despair, but no one believed her anymore.
The judge frowned and slammed the gavel again. His majestic voice instantly silenced the courtroom: "Silence!"
These two words, like an order, brought all the noise in the courtroom to an abrupt halt. Everyone was waiting for the final judgment, and Pang Juan slumped in the dock with empty eyes, as if she had lost all her strength.
The atmosphere in the courtroom was heavy, the air seemed frozen, and everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Qinming. He was tall and straight, with a stern look, and his every move was full of calmness and confidence.
After clearing his throat, his voice was loud and penetrating, instantly breaking the suffocating silence:
"In the process of thoroughly investigating the bullying incident at Hongfu Jin Kindergarten, we accidentally uncovered a hidden thread that had been lurking for many years: the dark secrets of Hongfu Jin Kindergarten's accounts since its establishment."
As soon as the words fell, the courtroom exploded, everyone whispered to each other, their eyes full of shock and confusion.
The judge frowned, slammed the gavel, and shouted loudly: "Silence! Please maintain order in the court!"
Gu Qinming paused for a moment, and when the court returned to silence, he continued to explain clearly:
"In order to find out the truth, we went to the Market Supervision Bureau without stopping and conducted a thorough investigation of all the accounting data and management rights related information of Hongfujin Kindergarten since its establishment.
This investigation revealed many problems. Many of the account data were processed very deliberately, with obvious signs of tampering and cover-up, like a camouflage net full of flaws, trying to cover up the secrets behind it.
He paused for a moment, took out a thick stack of documents from his file bag, and gently placed them on the table. A sharp look flashed in his eyes:
"During the conversation with Chen Bingkun, the principal of Hongfujin Kindergarten, he was initially hesitant and refused to cooperate, trying to remain silent.
But in the face of overwhelming evidence, his psychological defenses finally collapsed, and he had to confess a series of shocking inside stories.
They also handed over some data on the directors of the Education Bureau taking bribes and receiving kickbacks, which was enough to prove that there were serious violations of laws and disciplines behind it.
The details of the following situation will be revealed by the staff of the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision! "
Having said that, Gu Qinming turned to face the judge and bowed solemnly. His straight back demonstrated his professionalism and responsibility.
Then, he walked steadily towards Mu Xiaoji, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile. That smile contained both the joy of victory and relief for Mu Xiaoji.
He slowly sat down at the lawyer's seat next to him, crossed his hands on the table, and waited calmly for further developments.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the courtroom was extremely tense. Everyone held their breath, eagerly waiting for the staff of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Commission to uncover the more shocking truth behind this. The fierce battle between justice and darkness seemed to have just entered a white-hot stage.
The judge sat on a high bench, wearing a black robe that was as solemn as the night sky. The white lace decoration on the collar further highlighted his majesty and fairness.
The judge cleared his throat, his voice loud and clear, echoing slowly in the courtroom:
"This court today pronounced the first instance verdict on the case of assaulting a teacher caused by a school bullying incident."
His voice was steady and powerful, and every word he spoke was exceptionally clear, allowing everyone present to hear it clearly.
“During the trial of this case, the court conducted a comprehensive and detailed review and verification of the evidence of all parties in accordance with the law.
After further investigation and evidence collection, it was confirmed that the defendant, Mr. Mu Xiaoji, was accused of assaulting a teacher, which was a malicious false accusation by the plaintiff.
The judge paused, and glanced at Mu Xiaoji, with a hint of fair affirmation in his eyes.
"The defendant, Mr. Mu Xiaoji, was not at fault in the entire incident, and his actions did not constitute any illegal or criminal facts. The defendant, Mr. Mu Xiaoji, is now found not guilty in accordance with the law and released on the spot."
When Mu Xiaoji heard the verdict, his tense shoulders relaxed instantly, and a hint of relief at surviving the disaster welled up in his eyes. He looked at the lawyer who defended him with gratitude.
The judge turned his gaze to Pang Juan, his eyes became cold and serious: "And the plaintiff, Ms. Pang Juan, has acted lawless and badly in this case.
He provoked trouble at the gate of the court and disrupted the judicial order; he also hired bodyguards to intentionally injure others. According to appraisal by a professional organization, he caused eighth-degree disability to others, which is extremely serious.
At the same time, the amount of money involved in hiring a killer was huge, which seriously damaged the legitimate rights and interests of others and violated the relevant provisions of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China."
The judge picked up the verdict and said in an increasingly firm voice: "This court sentences the plaintiff, Ms. Pang Juan, to three years in prison in accordance with the law. She will be imprisoned immediately to serve the sentence."
