I asked you to pursue a career, but you turned out to be a scumbag

Chapter 396 Court Trial Scene

Is there dirt on your face?

Can't?

I washed my face before coming here, so there is no dirt.

Why was the presiding judge staring at him?

Zhang Hao was puzzled.

How could he know that He Kaijie, as the presiding judge, was extremely panicked, not because of anything else, but because of Zhang Hao's impressive record.

According to him, Zhang Hao has sent several leaders to the procuratorate in just a few months.

Last time, he sent his old colleague Lin Haobo to jail here.

If I hadn't been unlucky and lost the draw, I would definitely not have been the presiding judge of this trial. What if I was also unlucky and sent to jail?

But I didn't accept any bribes, so I shouldn't be sent to jail, right?

Having said that, you still have to be vigilant.

After all, Zhang Hao’s battle record is verifiable.

After the recorder finished reading the court rules, he waited for a long time but He Kaijie didn't speak, so he could only whisper a reminder: "Judge He, Judge He!"

what?

He Kaijie responded in panic.

"Your Honor, the court rules have been read out. It's your turn," the recorder reminded.

He Kaijie said in a panic: "Oh, oh..."

Then he said, "According to Article XX of the Criminal Law, the trial of Bai Jiankui's intentional homicide is now officially open. Now let's verify the identity of the person involved, Bai Jiankui..."

After the process was completed, He Kaijie said, "Prosecutor, you may speak now."

Zhang Hao said: "The suspect deliberately killed the Wang family, father and son, during the Spring Festival. Here are the interrogation records signed by Bai Jiankui himself, as well as the confessions of eyewitnesses. His methods were cruel and brutal, and they had an extremely bad impact on society. According to the Criminal Law, he should be sentenced to death."

He Kaijie heard this and really wanted to pronounce the verdict directly and get away from Zhang Hao, the evil star, as soon as possible. However, this did not conform to the trial process. He could only look at Ai Cha beside him and said, "Defense lawyer, you may speak now."

Aicha stood up and said, "Judge, I disagree with the prosecutor's opinion. My client killed the Wang family, father and son, not for no reason, but for a reason."

"When my client was thirteen years old, he watched helplessly as his mother was beaten to death by the Wang family, father and son. He vowed in his heart to avenge his mother, and that's why he attacked the Wang family father and son only after he was able to do so."

Zhang Hao said, "Lawyer Ai, I think what you said is wrong. You are trying to change the subject, using intentional homicide as revenge for one's mother."

"You said you were avenging your mother, which is understandable. But let me ask you, Bai Jiankui had many opportunities to kill the Wang family father and son. Why did he wait over thirty years before taking action?"

"This..." Aicha didn't know how to answer.

"Your Honor, I would like to ask the client, Bai Jiankui, a few questions." Zhang Hao said to He Kaijie.

He Kaijie nodded: "Okay."

Zhang Hao looked at Bai Jiankui and said, "Bai Jiankui, did you kill the Wang family father and son to avenge your mother?"

"Yes!" Bai Jiankui nodded without hesitation.

Zhang Hao continued to inquire, "Then why did you choose to take action after so many years? What were you thinking at the moment you took action?"

Bai Jiankui looked thoughtful upon hearing this, and then he said, "It was Spring Festival that day, and when I saw the Wang family celebrating the Spring Festival happily, I couldn't help but think of my mother."

"If my mother had been beaten to death by them, would I have lived such a miserable life? Would I still have a wife and children and a warm home now?"

"I think all this is their fault, so they must die!"

After saying all this, Bai Jiankui still showed resentment in his eyes.

Zhang Hao nodded and said, "From the suspect's words, we can hear that the reason he killed the Wang family, father and son, may be partly because he wanted to avenge his mother."

"But the main reason is to vent his dissatisfaction. The more important reason is that the eldest brother of the Wang family was not involved in the dispute of his mother's death. Now he has been brutally murdered. Isn't he innocent?"

"His mother was murdered, his life was difficult, and he had long-standing grievances. Perhaps Bai Jiankui's life deserves sympathy, but this is definitely not a reason to forgive him."

"He keeps saying he's avenging his mother, but he hasn't challenged his mother's murder over 20 years ago. If he kills again, that's premeditated murder."

"What should we do if this happens again next time and someone uses the excuse of revenge for their mother to kill someone?"

"Killing for one's mother is absolutely not an excuse, let alone a reason to escape legal punishment. Therefore, I still maintain my opinion and sentence Bai Jiankui to death!"

Aicha also admitted that Zhang Hao was right, but since he had taken the lawyer's fees, he had to defend the client, so he said, "Your Honor, I object. The eldest son of the Wang family was an official back then, so when Bai Jiankui's mother was murdered, it is very likely that the eldest son of the Wang family was behind the scenes. The murderer of Bai Jiankui's mother was sentenced to seven years in prison, so the eldest son of the Wang family is not innocent."

"And my client is also resisting personally when the law cannot bring the real murderer to justice!"

Zhang Hao said, "I object to this. You said the Wang family patriarch was an official back then, but according to records, although he was a section-level cadre when he was murdered, over 20 years ago, he was just a recent graduate and a clerk in a public institution. How could he have had the right to interfere in a murder case?"

He Kaijie nodded slightly at Zhang Hao's statement, expressing his approval. Although the law was not very sound more than 20 years ago, it was not something that a mere recorder could manipulate.

Zhang Hao continued, "Bai Jiankui, tell me, do you regret killing the Wang family, father and son?"

Hearing this, Bai Jiankui smiled and said, "Regret, I have nothing to regret."

When Ai Cha heard this, his heart sank. He had clearly told him not to talk nonsense in court. He had no remorse, so how could the presiding judge reduce his sentence?

However, he still tried to make a final effort, saying: "Your Honor, the reason my client killed was mostly to avenge his mother. He absolutely had no intention of taking revenge on society, and he is not harmful to society. Otherwise, when he killed people, he would not have killed only the Wang family father and son in front of so many villagers watching."

Upon hearing this, He Kaijie said coldly, "According to you, those villagers who were watching should be grateful to him for not killing them?"

Aica immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly made amends, "Your Honor, that's not what I meant."

He Kaijie said to Bai Jiankui, "Bai Jiankui, you can make your final speech now. Do you have anything to say?"

Bai Jiankui said: "Your Honor, I have nothing to say. If I must say anything, it is that the three Wang family members deserved death. I will never regret killing them. Even if I were given a chance to choose, I would kill them without hesitation!"

He Kaijie said: "Bai Jiankui, it seems that you have no regrets about killing people."

Snapped!

He Kaijie slammed the gavel,

Then he said, "Now the verdict."

Everyone stood up.

He Kaijie said, "In accordance with Article 202 of the Criminal Law, the criminal suspect Bai Jiankui committed intentional homicide on XX/XX/XX. The facts are clear and the evidence is sufficient. I hereby sentence the criminal suspect Bai Jiankui to death and deprive him of his political rights for life. If you have any objections to this verdict, you may appeal within 15 days from the date of delivery of the verdict. I now adjourn the court."

After finishing speaking, He Kaijie heaved a long sigh, a look of relief on his face. The heart that had been hanging in his throat returned to its place, and he turned and left.

Zhang Hao looked at He Kaijie who looked relaxed and was confused. What was wrong with He Kaijie?

He is the presiding judge, but why does he make himself look like a criminal suspect who has just survived a disaster?

Then he looked at Ai Cha who was standing beside him and said, "Ai Cha, you can appeal on behalf of Bai Jiankui, but I believe that even if there is a second trial, the result of the trial will not change."

Ai Cha nodded with a wry smile. Just because Bai Jiankui said he had no regrets, the result of the second trial would not change at all. If he admitted his mistake, the result of the first trial might be a suspended death sentence.

After Zhang Hao left the court, he did not leave immediately, but hid in the lounge because he was worried that if he went out, he would be blocked by the group of reporters again. He decided to wait until the group of reporters dispersed.

In fact, it was almost as Zhang Hao thought. The group of reporters were really standing outside the court waiting for Zhang Hao.

After waiting for half an hour, Zhang Hao still didn't come out, so they could only leave disappointed. After all, they still had to rush to send out the trial results.

After returning home, these reporters immediately compiled the news of Bai Jiankui being sentenced to death and posted it online.

Originally, this case attracted countless people's attention after Yiang sent people to publicize it. When they learned that today was the day of trial, many people sat in front of their computers waiting for the trial results because they could not go to the scene in person.

When they saw Bai Jiankui sentenced to death in the first trial, this group of people made comments.

"What the hell? Avenging my mother means the death penalty?"

"Why? Bai Jiankui is clearly a hero, but the law can't give him justice, so why can't he get it himself?"

"It's a shady deal, absolutely a shady deal. The prosecutor and the presiding judge must have taken bribes."

"That's right. They confiscated the black money. How could they make such a stupid judgment?"

"No way, wasn't it fair when Zhang Hao handled that case?"

"You know shit! People change. If you put 100,000 or 200,000 in front of you, you wouldn't be tempted. But if you put it in 1 million or 2 million, wouldn't you still be tempted?"

……

The trial result caused quite a bit of controversy online, and when Zhang Hao saw that there were no reporters guarding outside, he ran back to the procuratorate.

When Hong Ziyi saw Zhang Hao coming back, she winked at him and said, "Xiao Haohao, you did a good job this time. How about you? Are you feeling comfortable today? Has your uncle left?"

Zhang Hao said with a dark face: "Hong Ziyi, you are at least a deputy prosecutor. Please be aware of your status. Besides, this is still within the procuratorate."

"Tsk, so hypocritical. Come on, come with me to a meeting!" said Hong Ziyi.

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Zhang Hao followed behind him, looked at a certain part of the opponent, and slapped him.

Pa~!

Ah!

Hong Ziyi didn't expect Zhang Hao to dare to hit her, and she let out a scream.

This exclamation attracted the attention of the others in the office. They all looked at Hong Ziyi, and someone asked, "Prosecutor Hong, what's wrong with you?"

Hong Ziyi turned her head and glared at Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao felt guilty and turned his head to look at the ceiling, whistling as if nothing had happened.

Hong Ziyi turned around and said, "Nothing, I just saw a big rat running over."

Big mouse?

The people in the office were a little confused. A mouse?

This is the Procuratorate. There's nothing to eat, so how could there be rats? And in broad daylight.

But he still said, "Then I'll go find the cleaner to clean up this place and put down some rat poison and sticky traps or something."

"Ok!"

Hong Ziyi nodded, then turned and left, with Zhang Hao following behind.

After Hong Ziyi left, some flatterers who liked to curry favor with others and seek personal gain immediately went to find the cleaning staff, scolded them and asked them how they cleaned the place.

There were rats in the procuratorate, which scared Hong Ziyi. She had to get rid of them quickly, otherwise her salary would be deducted.

The cleaning lady was bewildered. She wondered if there was something wrong with the feng shui of the Procuratorate recently. It had only been a short time since Su Mingzhe defecated in the office, and now there were rats again. This had never happened before.

Forget it, let’s get some rat poison and kill the rat.

Otherwise, my monthly salary of less than 2,000 yuan would not be enough to cover the deduction.

On the other side, Hong Ziyi walked to a deserted place, stopped, looked at Zhang Hao, and said angrily: "Zhang Hao, how dare you hit me!"

Zhang Hao pretended to be dumbfounded and said, "What, what are you talking about?"

"Don't play dumb. This is the second time. I didn't pursue it last time, but you're still going on. Do you really think I dare not do anything to you?" Hong Ziyi said angrily.

Zhang Hao saw that Hong Ziyi was really angry and explained: "You can't blame me for this. After all, any man would be unable to hold back!"

"Haha, you mean to blame me?" Hong Ziyi laughed in anger.

Hearing this, Zhang Hao curled his lips and said, "You're really stingy. At worst, I can let you fight back!"

As he spoke, he turned around and stuck his butt out towards Hong Ziyi.

Hong Ziyi saw Zhang Hao's action, gnashed her teeth in anger, and slapped him hard.

Pa~!

A crisp sound suddenly rang out.

"Fuck, you really hit me!" Zhang Hao shouted, covering his butt.

"Hmph, do you think I don't dare to fight?" Hong Ziyi said with a smug look on her face.

Cough cough cough...

At this moment, a violent cough sounded...
