"Hello, old lady!" When Old Lady Zhao turned around and saw Su Ruoxue, Su Ruoxue also greeted her, "You are feeling much better!"
"The fact that I can still hold on until now is all thanks to you and Doctor Su." Old Lady Zhao smiled kindly and held Su Ruoxue's hands.
After a few pleasantries, Old Lady Zhao expressed her willingness to participate in the trial as a representative of the Zhao family.
In this way, the situation will not be too difficult.
After a while of preparation, the village welcomed the second court session.
The gavel was banged, and the second court session began.
"This case will be judged by a five-member panel, and I will be the presiding judge."
"Village Chief Li and Old Lady Zhao will serve as deputy judges, responsible for assisting in the trial. Lin Tongxi will serve as legal advisor, responsible for consultation. Su Ruoxue will serve as clerk, responsible for record-keeping. Zhou Tiezhu will serve as the head of the police station, responsible for maintaining order."
"The court is now in session. First, let's introduce the basic information of the case... Please each of you nominate two representatives to come forward and speak."
The Zhao family sent Zhao Shouzhong and Zhao Chuangdong. After all, their father Zhao Deshan was injured, so they were the most appropriate representatives.
The Li family's representatives were Li Wangan and Li Ershun. Originally, they wanted to let Li Fugen appear, but he was beaten so badly that he couldn't even speak, so they had to let Li Wangan appear.
The two sides played rock-paper-scissors, and the Zhao family won, so it was their turn to speak.
Because the last trial was too slow, Lin Tongxi improved the trial process and allowed both parties to state their claims first when speaking.
Otherwise, no matter how much you talk, you still won’t get to the key point.
Zhao Shouzhong was the one who understood the situation best, so he spoke first: "Our claim is simple. Li Fugen injured my father, and he must pay compensation!"
Li Fugen hurriedly shook his head, and Li Er defended him, saying, "I've already said that Li Fugen didn't hurt that stubborn old man!"
As soon as Li Ershun said this, the Zhao family started to discuss it.
"This Li Ershun is still quibbling."
"How shameless."
"It's not surprising since they are from the Li family."
The gavel slammed, and Chen Yunxuan shouted, "Silence!"
"You may only speak when the jury allows you to! Do not interrupt without permission! Otherwise, it will be considered contempt of the jury!"
Everyone fell silent for a moment, waiting for both sides to make their statements.
Around this proposition, camps of representatives from both sides have emerged.
The Zhao family is the plaintiff and the Li family is the defendant.
Zhao Shouzhong insisted that it was Li Fugen who injured his father, and emphasized how serious the injury was.
Li Ershun said that Zhao Deshan accidentally slipped and fell on the hillside, emphasizing that it was an unintentional act.
If both sides keep arguing, no results will be achieved.
"Take us to see the scene!" After Chen Yunxuan said that, he asked the four people to come to the place where the fight had taken place before.
As expected, the slope where the two sides were fighting was very steep, and if you were not careful, you might fall down.
So the key is, how did Zhao Deshan fall?
To confirm this, we must go and see Zhao Deshan himself.
"Thank you, Brother Tiezhu, for sending someone to invite Chief Zhao." Chen Yunxuan instructed Zhou Tiezhu on the next steps.
Faced with this arrangement, Zhao Shouzhong looked panicked and tried to stop Zhou Tiezhu's actions: "Wait! Father is seriously injured and needs to rest!"
The five people at the table looked at each other, wondering whether to invite Zhao Deshan over.
In the end, out of humanitarian considerations, Lin Tongxi suggested visiting Zhao Deshan in person.
But Zhao Shouzhong still disagreed, saying, "So many people going to see my father! It will disturb his rest!"
"Shouzhong, are you hiding something from us?" Old Lady Zhao had long noticed Zhao Shouzhong's inexplicable panic.
If Zhao Deshan was seriously injured, he, as the victim's son, would not be so nervous.
"Then we'll take fewer people with us: the jury, representatives from both sides, and four observers," said Lin Tongxi.
But even with this suggestion, Zhao Shouzhong still disagreed.
The more this happened, the more the five members of the jury felt that there was something fishy going on.
"Listen to me, go. If anything happens, I'll be responsible." Old Mrs. Zhao said.
At the request of Old Lady Zhao, Zhao Shouzhong couldn't stop them, so he had to take them to see his father.
After meeting Zhao Deshan, they were indeed convinced that Zhao Shouzhong was hiding something.
"Shouzhong! I've told you so many times that I slipped by myself!" Zhao Deshan, who was resting on the hospital bed, shouted.
It seems that things are not simple.
