"Can!"
The judge discussed with the left and right, nodded and motioned to the clerk to take the documents to Lawyer Luo. They couldn't tell whether the information was true or false anyway, so they could let Lawyer Luo take a look and help analyze it.
"Lawyer Luo, is this true?" Seeing Lawyer Luo's serious face, Zhu Tao asked eagerly.
"It looks like it's real. It has the official seal of the Mainland XX organization on it. It shouldn't be forged, but it's best to make sure." Looking at the information in his hand, Lawyer Luo frowned because he wasn't sure. It was best to let him know. Zhu Tao checked it out himself.
The disappointment is false. If it were true, then I would have been busy in vain.
"Check it out!"
Seeing Lawyer Luo hand over the information, cold sweat broke out on Zhu Tao's face.
Checking it is easy, just call your bank.
But, could this be a trap set by the police for him to find his hidden account and get the money in it...
But if we don’t check it, we’ll be in trouble if it’s true.
Xiangjiang is a society of rich people. Some people can push people around. If you don’t have money, you can’t move forward. If you are a paralytic and become a pauper, you will...
"I need a phone!" Zhu Tao thought about it and said.
"Your Honor, I hope..." Lawyer Luo applied to the judge to agree to the main request.
"Okay!" The judge was also curious about whether the matter was true or not, so he nodded in agreement.
Soon the eldest brother was delivered to Zhu Tao.
Looking at the mobile phone in front of him, Zhu Tao hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and picked up the mobile phone and dialed it out skillfully.
"Manager Zhang, I'm Zhu Tao. I have something to ask you. Can you help me check how much money is left in my account? As soon as possible, I need it urgently..."
"Wait a minute, I'll check..."
A thick male voice came from the phone, about thirty seconds later...
"It's only six yuan, what's wrong with my money..." Zhu Tao looked unbelieving.
"They're all gone, go to..."
Zhu Tao was dumbfounded and quickly called an overseas bank. It was better than HSBC, and he still had 10 US dollars in his account.
"Your Honor, I plead guilty. I am the leader of the drug gang. I was the one who spearheaded the transactions in the wooden house area. I have committed a heinous crime. I have done countless bad things over the years..."
After being the boss for more than ten years, Zhu Tao's IQ and EQ were higher than ordinary people. After learning that he had become a pauper and owed a lot of debt, he immediately understood that the only way to survive was to go to prison.
If you go outside, you may not be able to survive for a day. Maybe after leaving the court here, someone will be killed over there...
In comparison, although you have no freedom and are bullied in prison, at least your life can be saved.
Lawyer Luo said nothing about Zhu Tao's guilty plea.
Because for lawyers, defending criminals is not about defending the dignity of the law. Saying that the person is not guilty unless the court convicts him is actually just for money. The same is true for bigger lawyers.
Otherwise, how could those big lawyers own luxury houses and live in villas? The money is not all made from rich people.
Now Zhu Tao has become a pauper. Not to mention the benefits promised to him, he can't even afford normal legal fees. He still needs to put in the effort.
"There was a fire in the police station yesterday and the evidence room was burned down. Did you ask someone to do it?" Lei Weidong asked directly in court.
"It was me. I asked John to do it through Lawyer Luo. The spy he found was Wen Jianren. He took my money and tipped off the information not once or twice."
Zhu Tao, who is a broken man, doesn't mind dragging a few more people into the water.
"Don't talk nonsense. When did I..." Lawyer Luo was dragged into the water and became anxious. It is against the law to tip off criminals. In serious cases, not only will he lose his lawyer's license, but he may also be imprisoned.
"I'm not talking nonsense. Lawyer Luo knew what I was doing. He was the one who suggested burning the ledgers. I can swear on this!" Anyway, he had already offended, and Zhu Tao didn't mind offending someone bigger.
"Silence, silence!"
Seeing the commotion in the courtroom, Judge Guilao banged the wooden hammer in his hand to tell everyone to be quiet and not to disturb the order of the court.
"Your Honor, I'm done." Seeing that nothing happened to him, Lei Weidong stepped back from the witness stand.
The moment Zhu Tao confessed.
Lei Weidong felt the long-lost heat emerging from his body, and he became stronger again. Although he didn't know how much stronger he was, he could definitely beat two with one compared to before.
More importantly, the portable space has finally become larger.
When I first got the portable space, I was very happy. How many things can be packed in one cubic meter.
After a long time, I realized that this thing is convenient, but it is a bit small.
It can only hold pistols, bullets, grenades, and small items such as water and food.
Not to mention cars and ships, even trying to put a Remington in it is a bit troublesome.
Well now, the length, width and height have doubled, one cubic meter has become eight cubic meters, and the things that can be packed are...
"Xiao Lei, you did this, right?"
Seeing Lei Weidong sit down in the auditorium, Uncle Biao came over and asked quietly.
"Why did I do it? Zhu Tao himself had a kind heart. I just knew it by chance." Lei Weidong shrugged and gave Uncle Biao a look that made him understand, and denied.
"Why did Zhu Tao donate money to the mainland? Isn't Xiangjiang good?" Uncle Biao, who knew what Lei Weidong meant, asked in a low voice.
"Perhaps he wants to leave a good impression on the mainland. Although negotiations are still ongoing, his return is almost a foregone conclusion. Zhu Tao may want to take the opportunity to clear his name." Lei Weidong guessed.
"Maybe." Uncle Biao nodded and asked, "But some things can be hidden for a while, but they cannot be hidden forever. Sooner or later, someone will know."
"So what if I know, I don't want to hide it from others." Lei Weidong said with a smile,
"There are not just one or two people who have good relations with the mainland, not to mention that I have added another vest, which has given the people of Eagle Country enough face, so what else can I be dissatisfied with.
Even Yingjiang has established diplomatic relations with the mainland, so what can Niu Niu say? "
"That's right. I feel a little pity for Zhu Tao now. Not only has he become a pauper after being paralyzed, but he has also abused the people of Eagle Country. He will suffer in prison in the future."
"Washing powder has harmed countless people. It is unnecessary to sympathize with him." Lei Weidong curled his lips and did not feel sorry for Zhu Tao at all.
Needless to say the final result.
Because the evidence of his involvement in drug trafficking was clear and his crime was extremely heinous, Zhu Tao should have been sentenced to life imprisonment. However, considering his disability and his good attitude in pleading guilty, he was sentenced to ten years in prison.
The reason why the sentence was so small was not because the judge was kind-hearted, nor because he had received black money from Zhu Tao, but because Zhu Tao was in a wheelchair.
Such people who do not work but only eat and receive medical treatment are causing trouble for the prison.
In a capitalist world, prisons also have costs to consider.
If it weren't for the extreme nature of Zhu Tao's crime, the judge would have wanted to acquit Zhu Tao and let him fend for himself outside.
Other defendants were out of luck.
The gang that was found on Zhu Tao was directly vented on them. Those who were originally sentenced to ten years were sentenced to twenty years, and those who were sentenced to twenty years were sentenced to thirty years. They were all heavy penalties.
Even Lawyer Luo, Wen Jianren and Zhu Tao's master John Gao were all unlucky and were held accountable by the court.
