Chapter 413: First Trial
Chapter 413: First Trial
The day for the court session to resume finally arrived. The sky was as blue as a gem and was cloudless and clear without a trace of impurities.
The sun shines down on the earth without reservation. Every corner is touched by the warm light, and a peaceful and tranquil scene is everywhere.
It was as if the messenger of justice had dispelled all the haze and restored light and justice to the world.
At the solemn and dignified entrance of the court, the atmosphere was particularly heavy after the last out-of-court beating incident.
This time, there were several more groups of patrolling law enforcement officers at the door. They stood tall and had sharp eyes, like an unshakable fortress, always alert to any possible emergencies.
Law enforcement police cars were parked neatly in front of the court, their bodies reflecting the cold light, demonstrating the majesty and solemnity of the law.
The law enforcement officers took Pang Ruoshui out of the car. His steps were heavy and slow. His former arrogance and arrogance had long disappeared, replaced by a face full of haggardness and desolation.
He was held steadily by two law enforcement officers, one on each side, and walked straight into the courtroom. Every step seemed like his final struggle with fate.
At the same time, Gu Qinming drove the black Land Rover Range Rover into the parking space at lightning speed.
With a slight "squeak", the car stopped steadily. She quickly pulled the handbrake, unbuckled the seat belt, turned her head to look at the back seat, and said with a firm and confident look:
"Mr. Mu, don't be nervous. Leave everything to us. We have been preparing for so long. All the evidence is conclusive. Justice will definitely be served."
Mu Xiaoji and Guo Bingyan were sitting in the back row. Although they had calm and composed expressions on their faces, after hearing Gu Qinming's instructions, they nodded gently and responded, "Okay, I understand." Although their voices were soft, they revealed a firm strength.
Dou Jinde got out of the car quickly, walked quickly to the trunk, and took out the wheelchair skillfully.
He quickly walked to the back seat, gently opened the door, and gently and carefully helped Mu Xiaoji sit in the wheelchair.
Immediately, a series of crisp "bang bang" sounds of door closing were heard, which was particularly loud in this empty parking lot.
Gu Qinming took the lead and walked towards the court entrance with big strides. His posture was agile, his steps were firm and powerful, and every step he took was full of confidence and courage.
When passing by the law enforcement police car, Pang Juan happened to get out of the car. Her hair was a little messy, but her eyes still showed a sense of unwillingness and stubbornness.
Seeing Mu Xiaoji being pushed in a wheelchair, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. In addition to the resentment in her heart, there was also the gap between the two, which made her feel annoyed.
Dou Jinde stopped and Mu Xiaoji turned his head to look at Pang Juan who had an embarrassed look on her face.
Pang Juan seemed to be ignited with anger, and her stubborn gaze instantly turned into a sharp blade, stabbing straight at Mu Xiaoji, and she arrogantly cursed: "You dead cripple, don't be so proud too soon, I'll make you pay later."
Dou Jinde smiled contemptuously, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of sarcasm, and said slowly: "Little girl, you really only remember to eat and not to be beaten. Don't you know what's going on with your embarrassing appearance today?
You have violated the bottom line of the law time and time again, acted recklessly, and now you still don't repent.
I will add another crime to your case later, the crime of insulting others in the street, and let you spend the rest of your life in prison. Then you will know that the majesty of the law cannot be violated!"
After hearing this, Pang Juan's face turned pale instantly, and she bit her lips tightly with her teeth. She wanted to refute but had no idea where to start. She could only swallow the words that had not been spoken and uttered an unwilling "You..."
Before he could finish his words, he was dragged by law enforcement officers into the courtroom. "Let's go! You are really a young and inexperienced person who is not afraid of tigers. You are domineering everywhere."
Her struggle seemed so powerless. In the face of the iron fist of the law, any arrogance and stubbornness would be ruthlessly crushed. What awaits her will surely be a fair judgment of the law.
The door of the court slowly opened. Dou Jinde carefully pushed the wheelchair. Mu Xiaoji sat quietly on it, with a stern look in his eyes, and steadily approached the dock.
The atmosphere in the courtroom was depressing and solemn. The wooden floor was polished to a shine, but it seemed icy cold in this depressing atmosphere.
When Mu Xiaoji took his seat in the dock, the focus of the entire court seemed to be on him.
People were whispering to each other, wondering what the story of this accused young man was.
At this moment, the side door at the back of the court opened, and three judges dressed in neat black uniforms walked in with steady and powerful steps, each step touching people's hearts.
There is an innate majesty on their faces, which is a symbol of justice, as if announcing to everyone that this is a place of fair and just judgment, and no crime will escape exposure here.
After the three judges took their seats, the executive judge Gong Shenshu, with a serious expression on his face, picked up the gavel on the table and slammed it down heavily. The "dong" sound echoed in the empty courtroom, instantly making the entire court quiet.
"Today is the first trial. This is the G City People's Court. I am the law enforcement officer Gong Shenshu."
His voice was clear and loud, echoing in the courtroom for a long time. Then, he turned his eyes to Mu Xiaoji in the dock, "The defendant, Mu Xiaoji, was born in the Red Star Welfare Home as an orphan. Do you have any objection to Pang Juan's accusation?"
Mu Xiaoji raised his head slightly, took a deep breath, and said in a low but firm voice: "Yes." His answer was concise and clear, but it caused a small ripple in the courtroom.
"Please raise your objections." Gong Shenshu asked.
"I reserve my opinion and let my lawyer state the facts." Mu Xiaoji responded calmly, his eyes revealing his trust in his lawyer.
At this time, Gu Qinming stood up. He stood straight and exuded a calm and cold aura, as if the air around him had frozen into ice because of him.
He straightened his lawyer's robe, took a step forward with confidence, and said, "After a detailed investigation and evidence collection on our side, my client Mu Xiaoji did not assault a teacher in this Hongfujin Kindergarten incident.
The real cause of this incident was caused by campus bullying." Gu Qinming said as he raised his hand to signal the staff to turn on the projector.
A video of a campus corridor appeared on the big screen in front of the court. In the video, sunlight shines through the window onto the corridor floor. It should be a campus scene full of laughter and joy, but at this moment it is very distressing.
Pang Hu, along with Wang Xinyue, Shi Lei and three other children, surrounded Jiang Shuo in the corridor.
Jiang Shuo held a stuffed giant panda tightly in his hands, his eyes full of fear.
Pang Hu put his hands in his pockets and said arrogantly, "Boy, how come Chen Xiaoxiao's reward is in your hands? Did you steal it?"
Pang Hu looked at Jiang Shuo with an unconvinced look on his face and ordered, "Catch him and send him to the principal's office to see if he behaves."
Several people rushed up and grabbed Jiang Shuo's arms tightly. Jiang Shuo struggled and yelled, "Let me go. Chen Xiaoxiao stuffed it into my arms."
Pang Hu immediately snatched the giant panda doll from Chou Bao's hand; then with a "slap", a loud slap hit Chou Bao's face.
Jiang Shuo struggled and said, "Let me go, Fatty. Let's fight one on one if you dare!"
Pang Hu shouted arrogantly: "I won't, what can you do to me? Bite me if you dare!"
Pang Hu looked at Jiang Shuo with a cruel look on his face, and slapped him hard again, shouting arrogantly: "I won't, what can you do to me? Bite me if you dare! Beat him up, let him know how powerful I am, and see if he dares to be so arrogant again!"
The other four kids rushed forward and punched and kicked Jiang Shuo. Jiang Shuo's small body seemed so helpless under their siege, he could only curl up on the ground, holding his head with his hands, taking self-protection measures.
Seeing this scene, the people present sighed, their faces full of shock and anger. Some couldn't help but curse in a low voice, while others shook their heads and sighed, feeling sorry for this innocent child.
"The child in the video is called Pang Hu, and he is the nephew of Pang Juan, the plaintiff in this case." Gu Qinming's voice sounded again, drawing people's attention back.
"From our investigation of the campus, we learned that Pang Hu's bullying behavior on campus was not just directed at Jiang Shuo, but there have been many similar incidents.
However, when we asked other teachers and students about the situation, they all shook their heads and remained silent because they were afraid of the background behind it. "
There was a hint of helplessness and anger in Gu Qinming's eyes. He knew very well that in this seemingly peaceful campus, there were too many unknown darkness hidden.
Gu Qinming paused for a moment, and slowly glanced at everyone in the courtroom. Seeing that everyone was immersed in the heartbreaking video, he cleared his throat and spoke again.
"After that, the bullying incident in the video attracted the attention of the school. The principal responded quickly and immediately called the parents to the office for a conversation.
Principal Chen Bingkun explained the seriousness of the matter to the parents in sharp words, hoping that they would pay attention to their children's behavior and guide them correctly.
After being taken home, other children were severely criticized and received family-style education from their parents.
Pang Hu, always arrogant and domineering, felt emboldened by his background. On Monday, he once again found four children and set a trap to retaliate against Jiang Shuo.
They took advantage of the loophole in the school's back door, avoided surveillance and lax security, and bullied Jiang Shuo for the second time."
Gu Qinming once again raised his voice, looked around, and continued: "After this incident was brewing, I met a kid named Dong Hui in the toilet.
He frightened Dong Hui very skillfully and went to find Jiang Shuo, saying that someone was looking for him. He tricked the innocent Jiang Shuo into meeting him outside the back door.
From the leaves, candy wrappers, lollipops, and messy footprints in the picture, it is not difficult to know what happened.
Gu Qinming said, raising her voice and pointing at the video photos and test reports, showing them to everyone: “Everyone, look at the photos of the scene, the leaves are messy, the candy wrappers, lollipops, and footprints are also messy.
Looking at the test report again, the evidence is irrefutable. The lollipop at the scene had specific DNA extracted from Pang Hu's shed cells and tested positive for it, proving that it was undoubtedly Pang Hu's.
Ms. Pang Juan, Pang Hu's aunt, is the head teacher of the senior class at Hong Fujin Kindergarten.
She has always loved this brand of lollipops, which can be confirmed by the opposing lawyer, Mr. Hu Zhiqiang. The evidence is irrefutable and the facts are before us, leaving no room for any quibbling!"
