Chapter 244: Retrial of the Case
All the evidence pointed to Lei Zhen. Because it was an open trial, the news spread very quickly, so much so that there was less debate between the parties.
Faced with the evidence, Lei Zhen began to be despised by people all over the country.
"So he really is a gangster boss, he actually killed so many people!"
"I've told you long ago, but you still don't believe me. This guy is just a wolf in human skin!"
"I maintain my view that I don't believe the mafia will cut off their own escape routes. No mafia group wants to eliminate the mafia..."
The wind of public opinion shifted at an extremely fast speed, and everyone knew that there was no possibility for Lei Zhen to turn the situation around.
Today is the final qualitative meeting, which is led by the working group.
The bigwigs from the provincial capital, the leaders from Hui'an, etc. were all present.
"Everyone, this case involves a wide range of issues and has sparked a nationwide discussion. The most complex aspect is the safety of investors, which requires us to be extremely cautious..."
First, there was a set of official jargon, which talked about the importance of current economic development and the protection measures for investors.
The cases were then summarized and analyzed in depth, with emphasis on the intensity of the crackdown on criminal gangs.
Although these are official clichés, they are the prelude to the previous part.
"The result of our working group's discussion is—"
Team leader Liu paused and looked around at all the participants.
"Retrial!"
When these words were spoken, Chen Laogou was shocked, but Mr. Hou and the others were full of joy.
This retrial is not a re-interrogation of Lei Zhen, but a retrial according to the procedures, including re-examination of all evidence and witnesses.
There is a feeling of wanting to overturn the verdict.
"Team Leader Liu, can I speak?" Chen Laogou asked.
"Mr. Chen, you go ahead." Team leader Liu nodded.
"I believe the case has been thoroughly investigated and all the witnesses and evidence point to the defendant."
"We should make an announcement as soon as possible to calm public anger and eliminate the impact."
At this juncture, Chen Laogou was determined to stop the retrial at all costs, because as long as Lei Zhen lived one more day, it would be disadvantageous to him.
"So we must proceed with extreme caution. This case is incredibly sensitive," Team Leader Liu said. "How we try, how we sentence, how we announce the verdict, how we mitigate the impact—if we're not careful at every step, it will have an extremely detrimental impact."
"Team Leader Liu, I'm Yang Ruizhe, the one in charge of this case." Yang Ruizhe stood up and said, "From the beginning until now, every step we've taken has been rigorous, and all the evidence we've collected has been..."
"Boss Yang, please interrupt me." Boss Hou stood up and said, "As far as I know, those who have accused Lei Zhen are almost all gangsters. Take the first witness, Zhao Hongbing, for example. Our municipal bureau has complete evidence of his crimes, including but not limited to trafficking women, rape, serious injury, etc...."
Mr. Hou didn't finish his words, leaving the rest to the other party.
"Is it okay to be a tainted witness?"
"Team Leader Liu, I support a retrial," Chief Hou said to Team Leader Liu. "I suspect someone is framing our city's entrepreneurs and undermining our hard-earned stability."
"Mr. Hou, everyone is equal before the law. You should be careful with your words." Chen Laogou said, "Do you know how many letters of complaint there are? It can be said that verifying these letters alone is sufficient."
"The report letter is just a reference and needs to be rigorously verified. It's not just what you say..."
Mr. Hou is awesome, and he just got promoted.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
Team leader Liu knocked on the table with an annoyed look on his face.
The argument ended and all eyes turned to him.
"Team Leader Liu, I reserve my opinion." said Chen Laogou.
"Okay, I'll allow you to reserve your opinion." Team Leader Liu took out a letter and handed it over, saying, "Here's your report letter, too."
Hearing this, Chen Laogou's expression changed slightly.
But he was a big shot after all, so he immediately became calm and picked up the letter of complaint.
"It seems that my work is not good enough, hehe..."
"The whistleblower is your wife and son." Team Leader Liu said coldly, "As for the content of the report, it's not convenient for me to speak in front of so many people."
Old Dog Chen was stunned, and everyone present was stunned.
Then two people from the relevant department came in and showed their ID to Chen Laogou.
"Mr. Chen, please cooperate with our work."
At this moment, Chen Laogou finally panicked and immediately started to explain.
"My wife and son..."
Team leader Liu interrupted him directly.
"Mr. Chen, I personally believe you are innocent, but the necessary procedures must be followed."
"Please provide an explanation for this report at the designated location and time. We will also investigate and follow up on the details."
Old Dog Chen collapsed in his chair. He never dreamed that such a thing would happen, that his wife and son would report him together.
“This is not in accordance with procedure!”
"Even if I'm placed under double supervision, it's none of your business!"
Old Dog Chen roared and made his final struggle.
According to the procedure, it was the Discipline Inspection Commission that could put him under double supervision, and it had nothing to do with the affairs of Team Leader Liu's two families.
"Please ask the comrades from the Discipline Inspection Commission to read out the order." said Team Leader Liu.
A member of the working group immediately stood up, took out a document from his bag and read it out.
"In light of the real-name reports by Comrade Kang Min (Chen Qixiang's wife) and Chen Rui (Chen Qixiang's son), we have decided to immediately suspend all of Comrade Chen Qixiang's work..."
This working group is not just made up of the two courtyards, but also includes people from other departments to cooperate with this investigation.
This is a major event that has alarmed the higher-ups, so how could it not be arranged clearly?
It’s over, it’s all over!
Chen Qixiang's face was ashen and he was dragged away by two comrades.
As he was taken down, Yang Ruizhe's face became extremely embarrassed, as if he was sitting on pins and needles, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
"Comrade Yang Ruizhe!" Team leader Liu stared at the other party.
"Here!" Yang Ruizhe stood up quickly.
"Hand over all witnesses and evidence immediately. We will take full control. Any questions?"
"No problem, no problem."
"Okay, the case will be retried. Now, let's announce the list of people participating in the retrial..."
Shu Jin, who was sitting diagonally opposite, was full of admiration. He knew that he still had a lot to learn.
Team leader Liu quietly and suddenly took down Chen Qixiang, fundamentally disintegrating the opponent.
It was fast and fierce, leaving no time for the opponent to breathe.
Ginger is spicier when it’s older!
…
When a case is retried, all witnesses must be examined first.
You don’t know until you try them. You will be shocked when you try them. These witnesses are almost all evil and have done things that are simply outrageous to both humans and gods.
Still choose to hold a public trial to amplify the public opinion effect.
"I just don't think it's normal. A group of gangsters accusing me, Brother Zhen, how could it not be a false accusation?"
"Damn it! It turns out these gangsters are the ones who framed us!"
"There's no other way. Lei Zhen won't give the gangsters any chance to survive. These guys are desperate. Give my idol back his name..."
The focus shifts and the flowers and trees are replaced.
There was no chance of a comeback, but suddenly the truth came to light...
