Tomorrow is the court hearing of Zhao Guang's case. After getting to know it, Lin Zhongchun has a general understanding of the case. Since time is very limited, she only made a brief visit and investigation into Zhao Guang's case.
The people who gave the vases to Zhao Guang and his neighbor Liu Qizhi were a pair of brothers, named Qin Yu and Qin Zou respectively. Qin Yu gave the vase to Zhao Guang, but Qin Zou, who gave the vase to Liu Qizhi, died suddenly of a heart attack that night.
Qin Zou's death was too sudden. Lin Zhongchun went to the Qin brothers' home, but the door of the Qin brothers' house was closed, and the neighbors kept silent about the two brothers, and could not get any information at all.
Besides, she asked Zhao Guang why he didn't find Qin Yu who was still alive and go to the court to prove for him that the vase was the gift from him to Zhao Guang. Zhao Guang also shook his head and said that it was Qin Yu who was burying Qin Zou the second time.
Today, I went out to relax, but now I can’t find anyone.
Lin Zhongchun thought this was just a simple case at first, but the Qin brothers' affairs were too weird, which made her feel uneasy. If the matter was really as simple as Guo Xiuxiu said, the facts of the case would be clear and clear.
I won't let her wade into muddy waters.
Now that he has been pulled in, he must do his best. Lin Zhongchun sighed heavily, then lit a candle and placed it next to it for better lighting. He should write out his defense first.
Simulate what the other person might say.
The court hearing was in the morning. Lin Zhongchun changed into a more dignified dark red dress and walked into the Yamen together with Zhao Guang.
The litigation system of Kyoto City is different from that of other cities. It implements hierarchical litigation with three levels. The first level is the small yamen in charge of large and small towns, and the town officials hear cases; the second level is the city envoy;
The first floor is the Imperial City Division.
Generally, cases are tried by the time they reach the Municipal Envoy. There are very few cases that can be sent to the Imperial City Division for trial.
Zhao Guang knelt on the right side, and Lin Zhongchun stood behind him.
The town official said: "The court hearing will now begin. First, the plaintiff, Liu Qizhi, will state the facts of the case and give a brief explanation."
The lawyer hired by Liu Qizhi took the pre-written complaint and muttered, "Five days ago, our client's daughter found a lost vase at the defendant's house. First of all, Qin Zou, who gave the vase to our client, before giving the vase to our client,
I said at the time that there was only one vase, which was an ancestral item of their family. Because he regarded our client as a close friend, he was willing to give the ancestral item to our client as a birthday gift. However, the vase had not been at home for two days.
He disappeared without a trace. Finally, our client’s daughter found the vase in the defendant’s house.
After investigation, we found that there is only one vase. Our client’s vase disappeared and appeared in the other party’s home. It must have been made by the other party when he went to our client’s home to steal it. Our lawsuit demands are as follows. First, order the defendant to return the vase;
Second, the defendant is required to compensate the plaintiff for the loss of the vase, and finally, the litigation fee of 400 yuan shall be borne by the defendant.”
Town official: "What is the defense of the defendant?"
Lin Zhongchun looked at the town official and said: "First of all, we do not accept the accusations made by the plaintiff. This is a myth and cannot be used to determine the facts of the case. Secondly, it is not yet known whether there is one vase or two.
It is too early to convict our client at this moment. Finally, we request that the plaintiff’s lawsuit be dismissed.”
