Chapter 43 Evidence Raid

Jin Zhou doesn't want these two options.

Yang Shiyu is obviously his wife, how can he be his husband?

But compared with the former, if Yang Shiyu was not a judge, it would be even more unacceptable to Jin Zhou.

Everyone has their own unique preferences, some people like clear eyes, some people like magnetic voices, and Jin Zhou just likes Yang Shiyu wearing gold-rimmed glasses sitting on the judgment seat. Appearance of violation.

"It's easy to say." Jin Zhou chose to keep Yang Shiyu steady first, "As long as you are still a judge."

Compared with Yang Shiyu's career future, who will be the husband and who will be the wife is not so important.

However, Yang Shiyu was not as talkative as before, he looked at Jin Zhou quietly and said, "There is no option of 'everything is easy'."

"Are you really willing to give up being a judge?" Jin Zhou asked anxiously, "As for this?"

"As for." Yang Shiyu spit out the two words calmly, there was no hint of a joke in his eyes.

It's over.

These two words came to Jin Zhou's mind.

As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. It is obvious that Yang Shiyu plans to go barefoot now, but Jin Zhou has become the one who is afraid of taking off his shoes.

"All right, all right, I'll let you." Seeing that Yang Shiyu didn't back down at all, Jin Zhou had no choice but to compromise in the end, "You are the husband, you are the boss."

"Okay." Yang Shiyu took Jin Zhou's hand again, the expression on his face was still calm, and he didn't feel the joy of winning the bet at all.

Jin Zhou immediately realized that Yang Shiyu was not betting with him.

He really doesn't care whether he is a judge or not, no matter what choice Jin Zhou makes, he will look like he doesn't care.

Jin Zhou couldn't help being a little scared, he squeezed Yang Shiyu's hand, and said, "We have agreed, no matter what, you are not allowed to resign."

Yang Shiyu responded lightly, "Yes."

Jin Zhou thought that Yang Shiyu always acted alone behind his back, and said worriedly: "If you don't become a judge, your wife will be gone, do you know that?"

Yang Shiyu smiled softly when he heard the words: "Then you call your husband and listen."

Since the two reunited, Yang Shiyu rarely showed a smile on his face.But now he seems to have mastered the secret of making Jin Zhou obedient, so comfortable, smiling so relaxedly, even the cold snow chains look soft under the moonlight.

"Ahem," Jin Zhou looked away uncomfortably, looking at the other side, "You let me get used to it."

The adaption that Jin Zhou said was actually just adapting to the title.

Men are supposed to spoil their wives. Since the wife wants to be called husband, then he should be called her.

It's just a title, how could it shake his position on the bed?

A few days later, the embezzlement case finally opened.

Jin Zhou and Liu Qian made an appointment to meet in the court hall. Liu Qian looked like a thief, wearing a pair of exaggerated toad mirrors. Seeing Jin Zhou in a suit, she slid the frame to the tip of her nose and looked at Jin Zhou. : "Zhouzi, how do you look like a human today?"

Jin Zhou twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly: "Sister, do you still want to return your watch?"

"Hi, I mean you are really handsome today." Liu Qian walked to Jin Zhou's side, "I have a few good sisters, how about introducing them to you?"

Liu Qian doesn't often attend Liu Yongchang's parties, and she doesn't know that Jin Zhou is gay.

"Come on." Jin Zhou leaned back tactically, "I don't want to enjoy the rich woman's wire ball."

Liu Qian slapped Jin Zhou on the shoulder: "You're talking nonsense!"

When he came to court today, Zhang Rui also brought his lawyer with him. The other party looked young, but he looked confident.

At this moment, the judge hadn't entered the court yet. Maybe it was the opposing lawyer's aura that made Liu Qian feel bad. She patted Jin Zhou's arm beside her and asked in a low voice, "Zhouzi, can I really get this watch back?"

Before Jin Zhou could answer, Zhang Rui, who was sitting in the opposite dock, took the initiative to answer the conversation: "Sister Liu, I didn't take your watch, why do you want to go back?"

There was no one else in the auditorium, and the entire courtroom was silent. No wonder Liu Qian's whispered words could be heard by Zhang Rui who was opposite.

"Don't pretend to be a grandson for me." Liu Qian is worthy of being Liu Yongchang's woman, even if she has no confidence in her heart at this time, she will never forgive anyone, "If you didn't take the watch, the old lady's head would be taken off and I'll kick it for you .”

At that time, the front door of the court was pushed open, and the presiding judge walked in. Jin Zhou hurriedly signaled Liu Qian with his eyes not to say any more unnecessary words.

The facts of the case were not complicated, and Judge Chen didn't even bother to read the file, just listening to the speeches of Jin Zhou and the opposing lawyer.

"So the watch is still missing, right?" Judge Chen asked with his hands folded in front of his chest and his elbows on the table after hearing the appeals of both parties.

"Yes." The opposing lawyer said, "The plaintiff slandered that my client took the watch, but the watch was not in my client's possession at all."

"Okay." Judge Chen nodded, "Next, we will enter the stage of presenting evidence and cross-examination."

Jin Zhou first took out the surveillance video of the Paris Temple, and was unsurprisingly refuted by the opposing lawyer, saying that such indirect evidence could not prove that Zhang Rui took the watch.

Then Jin Zhou took out another surveillance video, which was also from the Paris Temple, but it was a little later, when Zhang Rui was drinking with another person, obviously wearing a shiny watch.

"This is my client's own watch." The opposing lawyer continued to refute, and picked up an ordinary men's watch from his hand, "This is it."

Since the list of evidence had been submitted before the court session, Jin Zhou was not surprised at all, and the other party would prepare in advance for the evidence he presented.

However, the monitoring screen was too blurry, and the style of the watch could not be seen clearly at all. It could only be what the other party said, and Jin Zhou could not refute it.

The situation on the court was obviously not good for Liu Qian, she was picking her fingers anxiously, and she looked at Jin Zhou with more and more worried eyes.

"We apply for witnesses to appear in court." The other party's lawyer has always maintained a leisurely pace, which shows that he is bound to win this lawsuit.

Zhang Rui was already leaning loosely on the chair, obviously pulling himself out, admiring his lawyer's performance like watching a play.

In fact, Jin Zhou also thought about finding witnesses, but he asked Xiao Wu and Hu Zi to search as much as possible, but they couldn't find anyone who could be useful.

After a while, a man in his 20s came in from outside the court, claiming to be Zhang Rui's shared roommate.

Jin Zhou didn't panic, because the other party had also submitted a list of evidence. He knew the existence of this witness, and he had thought of a rebuttal strategy—the witness was Zhang Rui's friend, and his testimony was not credible.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the man testified, Jin Zhou immediately caught the loophole.

"You mean, you went home with the defendant that day, and he didn't have a watch on his hand?" Jin Zhou looked straight at the man and asked.

"Yes." The man puffed out his chest majestically, "I swear I'm not lying."

"Then what is this?" Jin Zhou showed the surveillance screen again, "Just now the opposing lawyer said that the defendant was wearing his own watch, so why didn't he wear a watch when he came home with you?" ?”

The defendant's lawyer probably didn't expect that there would be a mistake here, so he quickly answered: "My client is used to putting some small objects in the lockers in the employee locker room. He may have just taken off his watch."

"Or is it that he didn't take out his own watch at all?" Jin Zhou asked aggressively, "Otherwise, why would you take an ordinary watch out and put it in a locker for safekeeping?"

"The opposing lawyer is speculating maliciously. We all know that after wearing a watch for a long time, the wrist will sweat and make people uncomfortable. It was just an unintentional act that my client took off the watch, and it was not deliberately kept as the opposing lawyer said. "

Jin Zhou also knew that this loophole was not enough to disturb the opponent's logic, let alone make the judge lean towards him, so he stopped talking.

"Does the plaintiff's lawyer have anything else to ask?" Judge Chen asked.

His tone was a bit urging, obviously feeling that it would be superfluous to ask any more.

In the stage of presenting evidence and cross-examination, Jin Zhou had already been suppressed and beaten by the other party. There was no need to retry the case, and Jin Zhou would undoubtedly lose.

Zhang Rui, who was sitting across from him, folded his hands behind his neck and raised his legs, forming a stark contrast with the restless Liu Qian.

But Jin Zhou was waiting for this moment.

He just wanted to wait for the opponent to relax completely before taking out his trump card.

He pretended to look at his phone, then raised his head and said, "Judge Chen, I'm applying to submit new evidence."

"Now?" Judge Chen frowned upon hearing this.

No judge would like plaintiffs to conduct evidence raids, because the defendant can immediately apply for an adjournment, which will only delay the conclusion of the case.

"I just got it." In order to ease the judge's dissatisfaction, Jin Zhou had to make up a lie and continued, "This evidence is very important."

"Then take it out and have a look." Judge Chen said.

Jin Zhou went outside the court for a while, and when he came in again, he was holding an evidence bag in his hand, which contained Liu Qian's Patek Philippe watch.

Liu Qian didn't know about this, and asked in surprise, "Isn't that my watch?"

Zhang Rui's face suddenly turned pale, seeing that the lawyer beside him didn't know what to do, and the lawyer also changed his confident posture just now, and became visibly flustered.

"What happened to that watch?" The lawyer asked Zhang Rui in a low voice.

"I..." Zhang Rui stammered.

"I sent someone to investigate all the pawn shops in the city." Jin Zhou handed the form to the assistant judge, "Just now my colleague sent this form. If necessary, I can apply for a witness to appear in court. This form is Zhang Rui was pawned a few days ago."

Jin Zhou didn't just ask Xiaowu and Huzi to look for witnesses, but also asked them to arrange many brothers to hang around Zhang Rui when they had nothing to do.

Pretending to be a person from the gas company, he took the opportunity to enter the house to check the gas meter; sneaked into the staff locker room of the Paris Temple, and deliberately moved Zhang Rui's locker; took advantage of Zhang Rui coming to the parking lot, and pretended to smash his car window Glass, check the contents of the car.

In fact, these actions were all just pretense, such as pretending to be an employee of the gas company, which was immediately exposed by Zhang Rui, but what Jin Zhou was going to do was not to search the house, but to put pressure on Zhang Rui and make him panic all day long.

On the other side, Yu He's buddy was asked to contact Zhang Rui to brainwash him about the convenience and safety of selling stolen goods in cash. So when Jin Zhou's brother appeared around Zhang Rui's parents' house, he finally couldn't help taking the Patek Philippe hidden in his parents' house. Watch shot.

That day Jin Zhou asked Sun Yi and others to arrest Zhuang Yu, and Yu He left temporarily because the assistant informed him that the watch was in hand.

However, Jin Zhou did not immediately submit this evidence to the court, because in this way, it is very likely that the lawsuit will be lost.

Zhang Rui will definitely find a way to reconcile with Liu Qian, and Liu Qian and the judge will also be inclined to this result.

Although this is good for everyone and saves the trouble from making things worse, Jin Zhou has other plans, and he doesn't mind causing trouble to Liu Qian, because this is the trouble Liu Qian caused herself.

"That is indeed my watch." Zhang Rui swallowed, still thinking of ways to refute, "But you can't prove that this is Sister Liu's watch."

"Don't worry." Jin Zhou said with ease, "My colleague has been verified by the police, and there are fingerprints of my client everywhere."

"You fart!" Zhang Rui blurted out, "I clearly wiped my fingerprints—"

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by the lawyer on the side, but it was too late.

"Defendant, do you have anything else to say?" Judge Chen asked patiently.

"We can return the watch." The other party's lawyer immediately said, "The crime of embezzlement is a 'refusal to return'. We did not refuse to return it. We can return it now. I believe the plaintiff is also willing to settle."

Before the evidence was presented, Zhang Rui had always refused to return it, but now he is playing tricks on the wind.

However, Jin Zhou would not let him go so easily.

"You pay it back." Jin Zhou picked up the evidence bag and shook it, "The watch is in my hand, what do you have to pay it back?"

Leaving aside the fact that Yu Hetong did not agree to let Zhang Rui redeem the watch, even if he agreed, it would definitely not be a pawn price of more than [-] yuan.

"Plaintiff, since the defendant is willing to admit his mistake, you should discuss it and settle this matter." Judge Chen said.

"Okay." Jin Zhou looked at Zhang Rui leisurely and said, "Then let's discuss it."

The price of this watch is already huge. If Jin Zhou insists on suing, Zhang Rui will be very troublesome. He may be sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of not less than two years but not more than five years, and be fined.

But Jin Zhou's purpose is not here, besides, Liu Qian also wants to calm things down, so he doesn't want to be endless.

Zhang Rui's lawyer was deceived by Zhang Rui and left him.

Jin Zhou took him outside the court, and the two brothers hugged his shoulders warmly, and said sweetly, "You don't want to go to jail either, do you?"

"Of course." Zhang Rui nodded, "Brother, just let me go, just ask for anything."

Having said that, he added with a guilty conscience: "But I still have two elderly people to support, and in terms of money, what I can do is limited..."

"Don't you still have hundreds of thousands of deposits?" Jin Zhou asked.

"No, that's all my capital. You've squeezed out all my savings, how can I survive?" Zhang Ruiqiu begged, "Sister Liu is so rich, this watch doesn't count for her. What, I'm really just fascinated by ghosts for a while, so please forgive me and let me go as a fart."

"You're pretty good at talking." Jin Zhou smiled and said, "Well, let me ask you something, and tell me honestly."

"What?" Zhang Rui asked.

"You know Zhao Yan?"
