Unlike the various news in Shanghai that were spreading everywhere, almost no local media in Hangzhou exposed the incident. In just a few days, the media in Hangzhou seemed to have collectively aphasia.
There are also many signs that the media in Shanghai and other places have also been disturbed, and the subsequent development of this matter is vague, and it has been mentioned in one sentence, and even unwilling to mention it again.
However, in Hangzhou, the storm caused by this incident has not subsided, and there is an intensifying situation. A considerable number of citizens are extremely angry about the lack of life safety and the obvious favoritism of the perpetrators by the police. Many people spontaneously organized themselves to take to the streets to publicize the harm of street racing and demanded severe punishment of the perpetrators. At the same time, the alma mater of the deceased, and many younger classmates are strongly calling on the court to rule the case fairly and transparently.
Affected by this, the public has paid more attention to this case. It is worth noting that the media aphasia has led to various versions of the folk gossip. Some say that the perpetrator has a deep family background, some say that the case was reached by the police and the perpetrator, while others vividly led to higher-level figures, saying that the relatives of the perpetrator were on the upper level and that they should strive to ensure that the perpetrator is fine.
At this time, the public opinion orientation in the media also changed. It is believed that the perpetrator is most likely to be punished according to the crime of traffic accidents, and the sentence for traffic accidents is generally less than three years, and particularly serious ones are only between three years and seven years. This is insignificant for the sentence to a rich child. I believe that the final judgment result is likely to be a fine of a certain amount, to give some compensation to the family of the deceased, and then deduct three points.
At that time, many witnesses were willing to come out to testify based on righteous indignation, but apart from verbal testimony, they could not provide any real and powerful physical evidence to explain whether the perpetrator was speeding or seriously speeding. This had a great impact on the court's sentencing.
For this matter, Fan Wubing also consulted domestic legal experts.
However, after hearing the case of Fan Wubing's inquiry, the other party said that the current domestic laws are more tolerant to racing drivers. Those who often race, as long as they do not cause serious consequences, will not be punished. Generally, they are administrative fines, and at most they will be revoked. Even if they hit someone to death by racing, they will be punished for traffic accidents.
"Perhaps it is because of the tolerance of the law that we see that racing is becoming a fashion for some people." Legal experts told Fan Wubing, "Pickup has always been the focus of countries in combating traffic violations. In order to maximize the curb of racing on the road and ensure the safety of public life and property, it is necessary to include racing in the criminal regulation. Specifically, if racing on the road multiple times or speeding once is particularly serious, posing a great hidden danger to the safety of public life and property, even if it does not cause harmful results, it should be sentenced to the corresponding punishment. For those who cause life and property losses on the road, the punishment should be increased based on the crime of traffic accidents, or a separate crime should be stipulated to be increased, and the punishment should be increased."
Finally, he added, "Of course, this is just the wishful thinking of us legal workers. Whether we can implement it in detail is not something we can decide."
"So what do you think the direction of this case will be?" Fan Wubing asked.
The legal expert spread his hands and said, "The speeding is not much. As long as you calm down the emotions of the deceased's family and pay some money, I probably will end up in the end. You know some things in China-"
"If I could provide evidence that his car speed exceeded 100 yards at that time, would it affect the trend of the case?" Fan Wubing asked.
"Why?" said the legal expert disapproved, "The dead are gone, and the family members will be able to distinguish which judgment method is more beneficial to them in their grief. The generous compensation is enough to make them change their original intentions. If 10,000 is not enough, 100,000 is not enough, 500,000 is not enough, and 500,000 is not enough, 100,000 is not enough, and 1 million is not enough! These people have money, and their lives are just a bunch of RMB in their eyes. If there is any difference, it is that the thickness of RMB that each person can represent is different."
After listening to the legal experts, Fan Wubing was a little silent. As the legal experts said, if the parties compromised, even if he presented evidence, he could only affect the amount of compensation and could not reverse the direction of the entire case, and it would be in vain.
In many cases, under the pressure of money and power, human life and dignity will become insignificant.
Fan Wubing also understood that under the current price and wage operation level, or at most, only 200,000 yuan, this matter could be solved. He hesitated for a while, and he jumped out and verified the perpetrator to seriously speed. What else could he change besides changing the amount of compensation? Or was he aroused a bunch of enemies for himself?
When Xia Donghai and others learned that Fan Wubing intended to testify for this case, they maintained a cautious attitude. "You do this, and you have no benefit to yourself. You have nothing but offend others. Our new film is about to start. You should pay more attention to this matter as the boss! Arrange publicity work with the media and increase the public's attention to our company and the new film. Isn't this a plan you have already booked? Why bother to get involved in those thankless things?"
"I can ignore this matter. I don't even know who the deceased is or what he looks like." Fan Wubing shook his head and said with some lament. "I just adhere to the principle of judgment that a heart that must be clear about good and evil should make to do things. I cannot watch some people play with the truth with money and power!"
Several senior executives of the company were present, and Xia Donghai's wife Feng Xiaonan also came back. They all disagreed with Fan Wubing's injustice and did not agree with Fan Wubing's journey to this muddy water, believing that there is no benefit from both public and private, but only disadvantages.
However, several girls support Fan Wubing very much.
"Wujian, no matter what, I support you to stand up and tell the truth." Chen Jingchu was very determined on this point. After experiencing some things, she felt that the most valuable thing about Fan Wubing was that she dared to face the power and said no.
What Feng Ping said was a bit heartbroken, "If you are locked up, I will deliver food to you every day."
Xia Xue also expressed her position clearly, "If they dare to frame you, I will mobilize my classmates to march!"
Fan Wubing smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You can pull it down! It's not easy for other students, so don't mention parades or something, so as not to affect their graduation assignment in the future!"
In this matter, Fan Wubing is not as affecting innocent people. He is a key university graduate like Chen Jingchu. In the end, he has to go back to Panshi to find a way out. This kind of thing cannot be repeated, and there is no need to do this.
Besides, Fan Wubing doesn't believe that anyone dares to keep him in mind. After all, his identity is prominent. Even if others don't know his secret identity, status, and wealth, he should be able to find out that he has a ministerial-level father, right?
Fan Wubing doesn’t think that Hangzhou City is so brave.
Chen Bisong, who had just met, also expressed support for Fan Wubing, "Each of us should have the courage to face everything. Wubing, I support you!"
After the decision, Fan Wubing communicated with many media such as Oriental Evening News, preparing to express his opinions through the media, and openly formally sued the traffic police at the scene of the accident, with the reason that they slandered themselves for speeding.
In the article, Fan Wubing used a detailed narrative to tell his nightly encounter in Hangzhou, including someone selling drugs in the hotel, the police and drug dealers colluding to divide the spoils, and then he encountered three groups of traffic police officers within five kilometers on the way back to Shanghai, two fire extinguisher bottles that were forcibly emptied, and a ticket for speeding.
The most important thing is the quick photo taken by the police as evidence of Fan Wubing's speeding car. This not only has a specific location and time, but also has a police signature. It clearly records that Fan Wubing's car's speed is seventy yards.
This photo was published in major newspapers, and it was clear that everyone could see Fan Wubing's car driving on the road, or next to his car, a red Mitsubishi trot was passing by a ray of light and shadow, running forward at a speed far beyond Fan Wubing's car.
